On Fareed Zakaria GPS Today

View this email in your browser Insights, analysis and must reads from CNN's Fareed Zakaria and the Global Public Square team, compiled by Global Briefing editor Jason Miks. January 21, 2018 On Today's Show On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN: First, Fareed gives his Take on the deep divisions in the United States and elsewhere over immigration – and why there should still be room for "some sensible middle ground." "The central issue feeding populism around the globe is immigration. That's why you still see right-wing populism in such countries as Germany, Holland and Sweden, where economic growth is strong, manufacturing is vibrant, and inequality has not risen dramatically. Donald Trump beat 16 talented Republican candidates because he outflanked them all on one issue -- immigration." Next, Fareed is joined for a live discussion on the government shutdown by CNN presidential historian and former Richard Nixon Presidential Library Director Tim Naftali. Also on the show: Fareed hosts a panel to dig deeper into the immigration issue. Joining Fareed to discuss this and more are David Frum, a senior editor at The Atlantic and the author of "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic," Margaret Hoover, president of the American Unity Fund, and Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution and author of the new book "The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook."  Watch Hoover discuss populism in the United States Plus: In less than 300 days, American voters will head to the polls to pull the lever for 34 Senate seats and 435 House seats. But will the polls in 2018 be more accurate than they were for the presidential race? Joining Fareed to discuss the issue are Harry Enten, senior political writer and analyst for FiveThirtyEight, and Nate Cohn, a domestic correspondent for The New York Times' Upshot.   Introducing: The GPS Challenge How well do you know your world?
