The Stephen Mansfield Podcast

The Stephen Mansfield Podcast has always been about looking the tough stuff in the face and talking about solutions. Today, as our nation and our world confronts tumult, pain, and death, Stephen is most grateful to have you with him. As we all know, a young man named George Floyd was arrested by police and detained with an officer’s knee on his neck for some nine minutes, ultimately resulting in his death. Stephen discusses this tremendous injustice, the good and bad of policing in the U.S., and ends with an urge for all people to stand up against racism wherever it may arise within their reach.

In politics, principles must come before personalities. In no unclear terms, Stephen shares exactly what he thinks about Donald Trump. He encourages voters to separate the personality and character of a leader from the policies and actions the leader supports. U.S. voters must stop thinking in messianic terms. We are electing a leader from the pool who most closely aligns with our values, not the messiah.
