A shocking phone call after a routine medical exam. Despite no symptoms, my husband had advanced kidney disease and he would die without a transplant. I share the deeply personal story of a stranger saving Chris’s life, and what it taught me about the selflessness of others.

Plus, my fascinating conversation with Colin Woodard, author of Nations Apart, who goes back generations to explain why America is so polarized, and tells us what we can do about it.

And I answer your most pressing questions:

• Will the U.S. take military action in Nigeria because of Christian persecution?
• How can the richest country in the world be so much in debt?
• Can government officials use taxpayer-funded websites for partisan attacks?
