Every era brings its own set of trials—but which challenges define this moment in history?

In this conversation, we’ll explore what people across the political spectrum see as the most pressing issues facing the United States today. Are we most threatened by forces from within—like political polarization or institutional mistrust—or from beyond our borders? Is the greatest danger economic inequality or moral decay, climate change or a weakening of civic values?

We’ll begin by exploring how we decide which national issues are most important right now? Other questions we may explore include:

• What patterns or trends do you see connecting the biggest problems we face?
• Do you think today’s challenges are new—or echoes of issues we’ve faced before?
• If you had to explain to someone from another country what the U.S. is struggling with most, what would you say?
• Which challenges do you think Americans are overlooking—or misunderstanding?
• If one major issue could be solved tomorrow, which would make the biggest difference for the country?
