When was the last time you had a face-to-face conversation with someone who doesn’t share your views? Nowadays, it seems like those types of conversations are unpleasant at best and can often lead into tension and anger. Why is it so hard for two people with dissimilar viewpoints or backgrounds to come together and have open, thought-provoking discussions? Sadly, that seems to be the reality of our country today.
That’s why Glenn Beck and Riaz Patel, a two-time Emmy nominated Hollywood producer, gathered a group of diverse Americans, and we do mean diverse — a transgender man, a Christian conservative, a Second Amendment advocate, a liberal college professor, and more — to sit down for dinner and explore their vastly different viewpoints and the sensitive political issues that matter to them most.

Slightly off topic, but isn't he going out of business and something about having to sell off his private jet?

I used to mock Mr. Beck for his cheezy pandering to his conservative audience.
Not any more! we need more voices like his to bring this country back together.
beck had fallen off my radar but I do remember bout 4 years or so ago when an F5 tornado ripped through Oklahoma his group had semis full of supplies rolling into the area within 36 hours or so.

Will it be Glenn Beck playing each role, like in the Nutty Professor?

Well, having a civil convo among a diverse bunch isn't a bad thing, as long as everyone sticks to the real meaning of diversity. I get tired of hearing diversity being thrown around as being only people leftists like and agree with.
On another note, Beck used to be real good at connecting the dots of corruption in high places. I used to enjoy watching his segments with the chalkboard etc. He'd have a blast in the Q threads here.
After that Era though, it seemed to me like he just sorta snapped. Went a little lala...Hope this new gig works out for him.

Its just sad that politically divisive posts , that pit us against each other get more attention , than political posts that actually unite us........
I guess in some ways were not so dif than the MSM, yet so many of us claim different........
Heres to hoping we find meaningful change in how we approach things
