Breaking the Deadlock brings together people from across the political spectrum in a way that requires them to go beyond the usual talking points and speak to our core values as Americans," said moderator Aaron Tang. "By using hypothetical scenarios that rhyme with reality, we create space for honest introspection and conversation—and even some surprising breakthroughs."

Each episode of Breaking the Deadlock dives into essential questions of community, accountability and personal responsibility, sparking legal, moral and ethical reflections. As each hypothetical scenario unfolds with unexpected twists, both panelists and viewers are challenged to confront the thought-provoking question: "What would I do?"
