Episode Summary

In this episode of The Unity Forum, Chris Malone speaks with former Congressman Carlos Curbelo—now President of Vocero and an NBC News political commentator—about three forces reshaping American civic life: redistricting, immigration, and climate risk. Curbelo explains why aggressive gerrymandering fuels polarization and weakens accountability, why durable immigration reform requires both border order and legal pathways aligned with economic needs, and why climate risk is best discussed in practical terms—costs, insurance, resilience, and faster-to-deploy clean energy—rather than partisan labels. He closes with a call for civic action and structural reforms that reward collaboration and compromise.
