Oct. 17, 2025
If we can understand the causes leading to the lack of trust in America, we will be one step closer to addressing the problem and regaining lost credibility within the country.
In this episode of “The Civic Discourse Project,” Gerard Baker, Editor-at-Large at the “Wall Street Journal,” breaks down politics, governance and the trust deficit in America. Baker delves into the concept that American leaders failed in government, businesses, culture and much more. Baker believes these leaders are putting their self-interest before the public good.
