America is deeply divided.

There are only two sides to every issue,

and there is no interest in finding common ground,

not even with members of your own family.

But as the 2024 presidential election looms on the horizon,

there has never been a more important time to have

the necessary conversation.

Welcome to the necessary conversation. I'm Chad Colchin with me. Is my sister Haylor.

My mom and dad, Bob and Mary Lou. And today we have our very first guest on the program. Jamie Miller.

Jamie is a former executive director of the Republican

Party of Florida, now the owner and operator of the Reasonable Arguments Blog, which has

conservative commentary about Florida and national politics. So he is on your side, Mom

and Dad. Awesome. Yay. Is that one band at least? at least welcome well thank you for joining us uh you

are the first guess i thought it'd be fun here after i see what comes out of your mouth okay i thought

it would be good to kind of go through a few questions with you just so that everybody watching this

or listening to this can kind of understand who you are, where you're coming from.

So you reached out to me to come onto this show. So I assume you have heard our show before.

I am familiar with it. I kind of go on and search for different podcasts. I'm on podcasts.

I actually have one in Australia laterralia later today so oh wow

yeah so i've uh i do it kind of this is i don't know if it's for fun or laziness that i

don't create my own podcast but uh all right fair enough i do it for fun so you're a republican
