Outrage Overload: Rethinking politics, division, and media

BONUS - The America You Don’t See on the News – Adam Mizel

David Beckemeyer

Most Americans are tired of the outrage — and hungry for something better. So how do we unite America when everything feels so divided?

In this episode, we talk with Adam Mizel, co-founder and CEO of US United, a movement focused on ending toxic polarization through everyday actions anyone can take. After traveling the country in a purple pickup truck, Adam found that people from all backgrounds want the same things: respect, listening, and real connection.

We explore political depolarization solutions, the media outrage problem, and simple ways to build unity in communities — starting within five miles of where you live. If you’ve ever wondered how to heal a divided America without giving up your values, this episode offers stories, strategies, and hope.

We also talk about National Unity Day USA — now officially recognized on the National Day Calendar — and how each of us can join a growing movement for positive change.
