DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nEvent Overview\n\n\nThursday\, July 18th\, 2024\n5:00 p.m. PST/ 8:00 p.m. EDT \nIt’s nearly impossible to find intelligent political analysis in today’s hyper-polarized and ideologically segregated information sphere. From Fox News to MSNBC — political commentators focus more on inflammatory bickering than the deep issues shaping all American political life. The Dan Schnur Political Report offers a different way to consume political information. Dan moves beyond the partisan noise to analyze the core issues and critical headlines shaping our world. Dan not only offers a fresh perspective to understand politics\, he invites everyone into the conversation.
