On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET:
First, Fareed gives his take on President Trump's foreign-policy whisperer, National Security Advisor John Bolton, and his conservative worldview.
Bolton "believes that to protect itself and project its power, the US must be aggressive, unilateral and militant," and he advocates pursuing American national interests "not because they are virtuous…but because they are ours," Fareed says.
Shared by former vice president Dick Cheney, it's a dark and "profoundly inaccurate" outlook, Fareed argues.
Next, we'll hear from Carlos Vecchio, Venezuelan opposition leader and National Assembly President Juan Guaido's representative to the US, on recent developments in Venezuela's seemingly stalled uprising.
We'll discuss the state of ISIS, after the reemergence on video of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, with Farah Pandith, former US special representative to Muslim communities and author of the new book How We Win, and Jessica Stern, coauthor of ISIS: The State of Terror and a professor at Boston University.
Our What in the World segment will examine what's behind America's measles outbreak, and Meghan O'Sullivan of the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will share her thoughts on America's attempt to eliminate Iran's oil exports—and what that policy might (or might not) achieve.
Finally, we'll hear from Pulitzer-winning biographer Robert Caro. His new book, Working, describes his painstaking research and writing process; in an interview with Fareed, Caro reflects on the three years he spent in Texas Hill Country researching president Lyndon Johnson and what he's learned about power, in his renowned career chronicling those who've attained it. | |
