The discussion suggests that while politicians and cable news profit from stoking division, the actual population is far more integrated and less focused on racial or political conflict than portrayed.
The hosts reflect on the personal impact of the Las Vegas shooting, noting that friends of the production were nearly in attendance at the Jason Aldean concert. They call for a reduction in traumatic media coverage and inflammatory political rhetoric from both news networks and Hollywood.
