A Conversation with John Bolton at the Penn Political Union

Register
John Bolton

THE PENN POLITICAL UNION welcomes former U.N. Ambassador JOHN BOLTON. Bolton has managed to make himself controversial across the political spectrum with his advocacy of foreign intervention at a time when both parties, for different reasons, lean toward scaling back America’s military engagements. A member of the Trump White House who had a very public falling out with the former president, he also has an important vantage point on upcoming elections. Join the five parties of the PPU in a lively discussion about a wide array of topics concerning both foreign policy and domestic politics. Co-sponsored by the SNF Paideia Program Red & Blue Exchange.

Registration required for attendees who must present a PennCard and/or Photo ID at the registration desk. (Walk-up registrants will be limited to PennCard holders only and only if there is space after registrants arrive.)

No backpacks, bags, banners, food or beverages allowed.

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
