Video: Fox45 News featuring Debilyn Molineaux of The Bridge Alliance

As the political landscape becomes even more divisive and splits within parties create deeper tension, trying to have a conversation about ideas and policies with family, friends and coworkers is often just avoided.

Co-publisher of The Fulcrum and co-founder and CEO of the Bridge Alliance Debilyn Molineaux recently joined Fox45 TV for a segment to share that it does not have to be this way.

A college friend called me and desperately urged me to turn on my television. I was at home in my study writing a chapter on civic faith for a new book. As I tuned in to the news, I watched a second plane ram into the north tower of the World Trade Center, where my best friend from college, Frank Reisman, worked for Cantor Fitzgerald.
