America at 250: Freedom, power and the future | The Debate

As America marks 250 years of independence, questions about freedom, equality and democracy feel more urgent than ever. In this episode of The Debate, Mass Patel is joined by historian and author Matt Meyer, Dr. Noman Hanif, and former political prisoner Jihad Abdulmumit to look beyond the celebrations and examine what America's founding promises mean today. From political division and social justice to the country's role on the world stage, they explore whether the United States is entering a period of renewal or decline.
