2024 Presidential Speaker Series

MICHAEL SMERCONISH PRESENTS THE MINGLE PROJECT

made possible by the Mary Tucker Jasper Endowment Fund

Thursday, November 14, 2024 | 6:00 – 9:00 PM | Indiana Roof Ballroom

Join us for the 2024 Presidential Speaker Series as Michael Smerconish presents The Mingle Project.

Sirius XM radio and CNN television host Michael Smerconish is on a mission to restore civility and compromise to our public discourse.  For three decades he’s had a front row seat to the increase in polarization that has gripped the nation. He sees the current climate as part of a much larger disconnect in society fueled by technology and self-sorting, having a serious impact on the mental health of our youth.

The Mingle Project is both his diagnosis and prescription for the problem, presented through anecdote, social science ….and a few laughs! 

A registered Independent and passionate centrist, Smerconish has the rare ability to address audiences of all political persuasion without alienating anyone in the room. Smerconish hosts a daily radio program on SiriusXM’s POTUS Channel, 124, from 9a.m. to Noon ET. His eponymous CNN program airs internationally at 9:00 am ET on Saturday mornings, and he offers opinion and analysis on CNN programming throughout the week. Prior to joining CNN, Smerconish was an MSNBC contributor who served as guest-host for Hardball with Chris Matthews, and he guest-hosted the Radio Factor for Bill O’Reilly. His presentations provide audiences with a balanced, thought-provoking and entertaining analysis of the political arena.
