This is gps the Global Public square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and Around The World. Im Fareed Zakaria coming to you from aspen, colorado. Today, an extra special program with three, yes, three former secretaries of the treasury. First, ill talk to Henry Paulson and Timothy Geithner about the state of American Politics and the downgrade of the uss Credit Ratings and the struggles of the chinese economy and then robert ruben talks to me about how to make hard decisions and what a yellow legal pad has to do with that skill. Finally, david burn came to fame with his new wave band talking heads, some 40 years ago. Ill talk to him about his latest wave of creativity which includes a musical about former fill pina first lady Imelda Marcos. Performed in a Broadway Theater thats been transformed into a disco. But first, heres my take. For years American Politics has been shaped by the idea of the china shock. The term coined by three economists in a paper captured the widespr
An historic day in washington. The former president and current g portion front runner will be arraigned for eallegedly orchestrating a a plot to overturn the free and Fair Election that he lost. Were keeping watch as donald trump gets ready to leave new jersey, board his private jet and make his way to a federal courthouse just steps away from where democracy was under siege during the january 6th insurrection. Hundreds of Protrump Rioters already face justice inside that very same courthouse. And thats where we begin this hour with paula reid and evan perez. What can we expect to unfold in that courthouse out of the publics view . Once the former president gets into washington, he will be brought into the federal courthouse. Were probably not going to see much of him before he finally gets into the courthouse. He will be processed by the u. S. Marshals as they do with everyone who is arraigned. He will be under arrest. And then he will be brought in at 4 00. The we expect the judge i
Hes the former Nixon White House counsel. John, you and i have spoken about this and donald trump so many times, but, you know, as i was discussing with one of our producers before this program got started, in the past, you know, we would talk about Donald Trumps tweets and his social media posts and wonder what the impact might be. But it sounds as though the Special Counsel in this case, jack smith, is really seizing on this very inflammatory, threateningsounding post from donald trump on truth social and alerting it to the judge. The government arguing that the restrictions that theyre seeking are necessary to prevent trump from publicly disclosing sensitive discovery information. Can you walk us through what this means . Yeah. It looks like the post from trump came out while they were working on a motion to agree upon a protective order in general to Exchange Discovery material. And this obviously caught their attention. This is not the sort of norm that theyre used to dealing with

Significant case in the United States history. 9 11, 2001. Usama bin laden and other terrorists hated our democracy tried to destroy it. Donald trump, just like those other threats to american democracy, tried to destroy our system. This is the greatest political crime since succession. This has a chance of going to trial before the election and thats exactly what jack smith did. He knows what hes doing and he did it here. This case can be tried before the election. I dont see any reason why it shouldnt. The election will be simply about where will trump serve his next term . In the white house or in The Big House . Greg they want to send trump to The Big House before you voters even get the chance to send him back to the white house. Legal experts and republicans argue this indictment is an attack on the First Amendment. Political speech now has been criminalized. The First Amendment is under assault. Its under attack by the biden administration. You see a lot of deceitful conduct but
