A conversation about about big ideas: the U.S. role in the world as America approaches its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026; the changing world order; U.S. competition with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran; the rise of populism and the challenge to liberal democracy; the internal risks to American institutions from autocracy; active wars in Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan; and the risks posed by a government shutdown, the roundup of immigrants by ICE, and troops patrolling U.S. cities.
