First, Fareed gives his Take on President Trump's approach to foreign policy, and why it could be dubbed the Donald Trump two-step.
"What you just heard from Wednesday's joint press conference between the presidents of the European Commission and the United States was the sound of Donald Trump backtracking once again. This has become a familiar routine. It goes something like this. Begin by hurling insults at the other side, some of which have a basis in reality but are mostly wild exaggerations. Threaten extreme consequences. Then, meet with the other side, backpedal, and triumphantly announce that you have saved the world from a crisis that your rhetoric and actions caused in the first place," Fareed says.
Next: US-Iran tensions intensified last Sunday after President Trump issued an all caps warning on Twitter. How is Iran likely to respond to increased US pressure? Should the US be pushing for regime change? Joining Fareed to discuss this and more will be Robin Wright, a contributing writer at The New Yorker and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center, Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council and the author of "Losing An Enemy: Obama, Iran, and the Triumph of Diplomacy," and Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former CIA officer and now a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Also on the show: Former cricket star Imran Khan's party won Pakistan's general election this week. What should we expect from a Khan-led government? And what does it mean for US-Pakistan relations? Joining Fareed are Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's former ambassador to the United States, and Laurel Miller, the former US acting Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Plus: A new class on the Yale University syllabus this year immediately became the most popular class in the history of the school. It has been dubbed the "happiness course." What is all the fuss about? Fareed is joined by Yale's Professor Laurie Santos to find out more.
