Utah Governor on Bridging Divides | Salt Lake City News

Utah Governor Spencer Cox and Jon Stewart had a surprisingly civil chat on “The Daily Show,” diving into Cox’s new book, “Off Ramp: How to Be a Peacemaker in an Age of Contempt.” Cox argues that healing America starts with simple conversations—between neighbors, family, even political foes. He admits social media fuels division but believes the first party to embrace unity will win. They debated Utah’s “Fidelity Month” vs. Pride Month, clarifying it wasn’t meant to replace Pride—and that government shouldn’t dictate personal celebrations. When Stewart questioned Senator Mike Lee’s record, Cox didn’t condemn him outright, instead stressing that how you express contempt matters more than the target. The episode ends with Cox’s hopeful message: even in chaos, listening and talking are the only real paths forward.
