Episode Synopsis

Gen Z activist Manu Meel, co-founder and CEO of BridgeUSA, a student-led nonprofit that trains young people to hold civil, moderated discussions across political divides, joins Chris Cuomo to explain how his generation is fighting political polarization by turning outrage into conversation. Meel says young Americans—raised on algorithms and anger—are ready for something new, building more than 100 college chapters devoted to structured dialogue and civic engagement.

Cuomo challenges whether bridge-building can survive in a social-media world that rewards rage, while Meel argues that exhaustion with constant conflict is creating an opening for empathy and debate to go viral. Together they explore how the next generation might reclaim discourse, one conversation at a time
