Civility and Crazy in Current Events
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed former Congressman Ric Keller.
Price and former Congressman Keller use the recent trial of Donald Trump as a great backdrop to discuss how civility should always be over crazy, when it comes to our dealings with others.
Are you concerned about the decline in civility? You’re not alone. More than nine out of ten Americans, 93%, believe the erosion of civility is a problem, according to an annual civility study. A similar margin, 85%, believe civility is worse than it was 10 years ago, according to a 2023 ABA civility survey. Our entire culture seems a bit crazy these days. Baby Reindeer, Michael Cohen’s testimony at the Trump trial, Majorie Taylor Greene’s attempt to remove Speaker Johnson? They discuss this and more.
