On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on political divisions in the United States in light of Wednesday's shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice.
"Political scientists have shown that Congress is more divided than at any time since the end of Reconstruction," Fareed says. "I for one am struck not simply by the depth of partisanship these days, but increasingly its nature. The feeling seems to be that people on the other side of the divide are not just wrong and to be argued with. They are immoral and must be muzzled or punished."

Then, Fareed digs deeper into the issue with a panel looking at how left and right in the U.S. might find some common ground. Joining him are David Blankenhorn, president of Better Angels, Jill Abramson, former executive editor of The New York Times, Edward Luce, the Washington columnist for The Financial Times and the author of The Retreat of Western Liberalism, and Padraig O'Malley, a distinguished professor of peace and reconciliation at UMass Boston.
Plus: Fareed discusses recent developments in the Middle East with Qatar's Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, who served as both prime minister and foreign minister. How surprised was he by actions taken by Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations? Does he believe President Trump's recent visit to Saudi Arabia has influenced events?

Also: Why are America's markets up so much this year? Morgan Stanley's Ruchir Sharma explains why he believes that the United States is almost a "post-democratic society."
