We’re launching a new podcast: The John Wood, Jr. Show, featuring Braver Angels director of media development, writer, speaker and former congressional nominee John Wood, Jr.
“On The John Wood, Jr. Show, I will be making the case for one America – a united country.”
Read the full speech by Braver Angels CEO Maury Giles given at the National Conference on Citizenship explaining the vision behind Braver Angels’ new program, Citizen-Led Solutions.
September 10th was a devastating day for our nation. There are no words for the loss of Charlie Kirk. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. It’s on each of us to stop this dangerous cycle of mutual destruction. No matter where we stand on the political spectrum, here’s what we must do in the wake of this tragedy.
Before the events in Utah, today—September 11—was already a somber day of remembrance. Twenty-four years on, we honor the lives lost and the resolve that followed. That same resolve is what we need now. We are all shocked by the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday. We are saddened—and moved to act—by the pattern of political assassinations and attempts over the last 14 months. We will avoid speculation and await official updates even as we care for one another and our communities.
How do we, as Braver Angels members, respond?

I was disappointed by John’s podcast about “Critiquing the Heterodox Community on Race and Reason.” I’ve been in BA for 3 years now (I think). All the the speakers were on the same page and none of them offered any actual criticisms of the arguments made on the community. Their entire arguments were “we have all the facts and if you don’t believe them, you’re are a racist.” 40% of whites are willing to listen and become anti-racists the other 60% are unwilling to listen and hopelessly racist. Who are this angry Twitter clowns and why are they on the podcast? I’ve criticized BA openly for entertaining violent racists like Hawk Newsom (if you don’t give me what I want, we will burn it down!). I got no substance from this podcast. I would like to actually be challenged and learn something, to hear some actual criticism, but there was nothing to learn except “be woke or be an ignorant racist.”
