State of the Union: Boyd Matheson Feb 05, 2019

Show notes

For many years, I have tasked myself with a simple exercise every January write a State of the Union address. It has never been an attempt to write what the sitting president, Democrat or Republican, would, could or should say to the nation. It's simply my version of a message. It is that time of year, and while this years State of the Union was delayed by a week for political reasons, here is my message. I will restate, for those whose confirmation bias, instant certainty or politically polarizing vortex will cause them to miss this I am not suggesting that President Trump would or could deliver this it is the State of the Union from the perspective of one guy with an opinion.

Special Episode: Highlights from Integrity and Trust Jan 17, 2019

Show notes

Recently, the Deseret News and Deseret Management Corporation hosted an event at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., titled, "Integrity and Trust: Lessons from Watergate and Today." Some questioned us for convening a conversation on the principles of integrity, trust and truth in our nation’s capital – especially in a day when debates are rarely about principles and policy but are instead about fake news, alternate facts, deceptive internet influence, half-truths, bold lies and countless shades of morally relative gray. At the Deseret News we felt it was exactly the right place for this conversation to begin. Hear highlights from our event with legendary reporter Bob Woodward, Elder D. Todd Christofferson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Pew Research Center president Michael Dimock on this special edition of, Therefore, What?

Bob Woodward Talks Trust and Truth in 21st century Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

The state of integrity is never static. It's as susceptible to corruption and degradation as it is amenable to improvement or fortification. We're in unique times, challenging times, but with an age-old fight for essential principles. With the current backslide of public trust, we get a glimpse of what we stand to lose in our homes and our communities. The hard fought for values of trust and integrity form the bulwark of strength for the nation, but that foundation will crack and crumble through apathy, arrogance and neglect. The issue of trust transcends today's headlines, the principle of integrity surpasses current politics and politicians. Beyond the government or the media, this is a We the People problem that requires We the People responses. The Deseret News will convene, in Washington, D.C., "Integrity and Trust: Lessons from Watergate and Today." We will be joined by legendary reporter Bob Woodward on this week's edition of Therefore, What?
