America is broken – but my daughter can tell you how to fix it

“As the 2020 election nears, we are going to hear more and more about all the divides in America. The national media are going to latch onto and amplify all the ways in which Americans disagree with one another.

This is the last thing Americans need to hear. Especially now, as we approach a vitally important election, we need to break out of echo chambers and start listening to one another. Importantly, we need facts and real debate over ideology and ranting.

This is the topic of my latest “Newt’s World” podcast episode – and my daughter Jackie Gingrich Cushman’s upcoming book “Our Broken America: Why Both Sides Need to Stop Ranting and Start Listening”.

Jackie’s insights have come out of a lifetime of volunteerism and dedication to civic duty. They also come from growing up as my daughter. As you can imagine, she has plenty of firsthand experience dealing with the side-effects of political polarization.”
