On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed explains why he supports the House's impeachment initiative.
"I have long opposed the various efforts to impeach Donald Trump. Overturning an election should be a rare event, undertaken in only the most extreme circumstances." Fareed says. "But the events of the last few weeks have led me to support an impeachment inquiry."
More concerning than President Trump's Ukrainian phone call has been his refusal to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry into him, Fareed says. Trump has repeatedly rebuffed legitimate attempts at oversight, and if the country follows his view on executive power, "the American president would become an elected dictator."
Next, Fareed interviews former Obama National Security Advisor and UN Ambassador Susan Rice—who discusses why she pushed back when President Obama offered her the UN ambassadorship (which Rice recounts in her new book, Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For), former Vice President Joe Biden's diplomacy with Ukraine, and how Trump's Syria withdrawal has given a "get out of jail free card" to thousands of ISIS fighters.
Next, International Rescue Committee President and former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband—whose group is one of the few providing aid on the ground in Syria—breaks down what's happening there, after Trump's decision to pull back.
Our What in the World segment examines "deliberative polling" and how citizens' views often change, when they come together to discuss complex policy issues. Finally, Blackstone Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder Stephen Schwarzman—known by some as Trump's "China whisperer"—shares his views on US-China trade tensions, where the economy is headed, and personal success, the topic of his new book What It Takes: Lessons in the Pursuit of Excellence. | |
