This morning at 10 on Talk of Alaska:
In a nation that champions free speech, there has always been differing political beliefs, debate over the best way forward for our country and disagreements over what the role of government should and should not be in our lives. But the divisions and arguments between Americans of opposing views has gotten more intense and at times, dangerous. Today, we’ll hear from political veterans about how we can all listen to each other to hear more of what we agree on, rather than what divides us. Join us!
