"The best way to fight the system is to stop allowing it to make us so readily fight one another."
Welcome Kat Timpf:
We’re joined on the Starline by a writer, comedian, reporter and libertarian commentator. You’ve seen her on “Gutfeld” and out on her own comedy tour. Her latest book is "I Used To Like You Until... (How Binary Thinking Divides Us)". We welcome Kat Timpf.
Kat, let’s go Beyond the Mic. Why was this book needed and will people take their fingers out of their ears to hear it?
“Once you pick a side or a lens, you no longer have to think, because the thinking has been done for you.” How has hyper-partisanship hurt issues that Newt Gingrich told me “both parties basically agree on”?
“The best way to fight the system is to stop allowing it to make us so readily fight one another.” In creating change people have to take a first step. Who is willing to lead the charge in returning to civility in politics or is Pandora’s Box open?

How has your husband Cameron changed you?
One Big Question:
“When we are ‘immersed in hatred,’ we ‘don’t have to do anything.’” Has social media trolls disintegrated conversations online and how do you fix it?
The Wrap:
She eats way too much peanut butter, thinks she’s a realist and wants you to read her book is "I Used To Like You Until... (How Binary Thinking Divides Us)". Kat Timpf thanks for taking the time to talk with us.
