What’s Up With Elon Musk? | A Braver Angels Podcast Holiday Special

Seriously: what’s going on with Elon Musk? And what happens when “free speech absolutism” runs up against the realities of running the nation’s defacto digital public square?

In the final episode of the year, Ciaran O’Connor convenes fellow Braver Angels leaders John Wood, Jr., Monica Guzman, April Lawson, and Gabbi Timmis for a freewheeling roundtable discussion. See you in 2023!

How a Christian conservative found his way to Braver Angels

As a young man, Daniel’s father emerged from a broken, dysfunctional home looking for direction and found it while attending a Billy Graham crusade in Chicago. There, he “walked forward”—committing himself to Jesus Christ and changing the trajectory of his family. Not long after, he married Daniel’s mom, a Christian convert whose grandparents sought refuge in America after escaping pogroms in Europe.

Announcing Braver Angels Advisory Council

Twenty-three leaders who disagree on many things said yes to the same thing this month. They agreed to stand together, publicly, behind the idea that Americans can hold fast to their convictions while staying genuinely curious about the convictions of people on the other side. That’s it. That’s the commitment. For more than nine years, Braver Angels has reached people in every state in the union. The ones who’ve engaged have experienced something that surprises them every time: the relief of disagreeing without contempt, and the discovery that the person across the table is not who the feed said they were.

    Another episode of our conservative friends enjoying the sound of their own voices and offering up a shallow, self-congratulatory dive. De Santos is not some policy genius and dynamic leader. He won by a smaller margin than Fl leans to the right. I dread to think about how some facile, power-mad Republican would have done in the face of Ukraine, COVID, and GLOBAL inflation – Biden doesn’t control inflation. The US is doing better than it’s peers thanks to Biden’s team and policy. And before you hold up Florida as some sort of utopia – let’s wait for the insurance fall out when all this ocean front property is under water every 5 years…Florida is also another state that is heavily subsidized by the Federal government. The very week after the Martha’s Vinyard stunt, the pinocchio known as de Santos, suddenly found his manners and was gracious enough to accept Biden’s unconditional support for Fl affected by the disaster. Mrs. ForcedBirth, so delighted with her unethically-constituted, right-wing supreme court, no mention of Ginny Thomas. What are your “conservative values,” pray tell? Do you think liberals can’t be good parents? You need to check your head and be specific about your dog whistles. Consider me tired of being the adult in the room. I’m glad that Dems are going to finally give R’s a dose of their own medicine and launch investigations into these two-bit hucksters from the back of nowhere that are praying on their ignorant constituents and tearing our country apart.
