This week, The Daily examines what's fracturing and what's enduring in American life—from the political divisions fueling violence and primary battles, to the future of air travel as consolidation reshapes the industry, to the cultural afterlife of Michael Jackson decades after his death. Alongside these larger forces, the show also turns inward, exploring personal legacies: what parents owe their children, what children want to know about the future, and the small wisdoms mothers pass down. Together, the episodes trace a week in which the nation grapples with both its deepest conflicts and its most intimate bonds.
