Douglas Brinkley and Jonathan Karl with Bret Stephens (moderator)
Is America in decline, or are our best days ahead? Can a new administration reverse the most alarming trends—from debt to polarization to our foreign-policy challenges to a diminished sense of what it means to be American—and what will that take? Can a great leader still take Americans by the scruff of the neck and create a fresh political consensus around what remains of our shared values, ideals and ambitions? Join our distinguished panelists Douglas Brinkley, Jonathan Karl and Bret Stephens for this important discussion.
