Each Sunday, the architecture of a single television hour attempts to hold together the full weight of a nation's concerns — its economy, its unresolved crises, and its quiet heroes. This week, CBS News assembles economists, lawmakers from both parties, a pandemic official still navigating her complicated legacy, and soldiers whose valor reminds viewers what the political arguments are ultimately in service of. Moderated by Nancy Cordes, the program is less a debate than a mirror held up to a country still working out what it believes and who it trusts.
