On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan analyze the controversies of the day—economic, political, social, and cultural—as the second year of Donald Trump’s term begins. Are our institutions capable of working towards solutions to our challenges, or are our divisions too much to overcome?

Garland, Lee, and guests will discuss the apparently widening partisan differences about what how to approach our domestic and foreign policy priorities in the “Divided States of America.”
