PoliticsUtah governor Spencer Cox appears on 'The Daily Show' with Jon Stewart
Utah Governor Spencer Cox appeared on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" to discuss his new book about civil discourse and disagreeing constructively in polarized times. Stewart pressed Cox on whether his calls for disagreeing better hold up when applied to specific controversial policies.
The interview covered Cox's argument that Americans can reduce political hostility through interpersonal respect, with Stewart challenging whether that framework addresses structural policy conflicts. The two sparred over several issues while maintaining the civil tone Cox advocates for in his book.
