Reclaim Podcast – Politics at the Grassroots

Episode 10: Michael King Interview

Political and cultural lines are blurring. There was a time in America when it was easy to pigeonhole people and groups into statically defined roles and places on the political spectrum. Everyone can envision what I would argue is the false straight political line that perpetually keeps people on the so called right and so called left divided. Not anymore. With the arguably revolutionary changes we are currently seeing in politics, I believe it is much easier for people to see that politics is more of a circle as opposed to a straight line, which allows for independent thinkers and principled people from both the left and the right to join forces on many causes against the entrenched establishment.

Joining me to unpack this fascinating development plus discuss all sorts of hot button issues, I am happy to be joined by Michael King, President of the Massachusetts Family Institute.
