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 auck to Henne Paulson and Timothy Geithner about the downgradingst u. S. Credit ratings and the struggles the chinese economy. And then robert rubin talks about how to make hard decisions.

legal analyst. of course, the one and only, rick wilson, cofounder of the lincoln project, republican media strategist. welcome to all of you. he is also the author of run against the devil, a plot to save america from trump and democrats from themselves. i love that one. so, barbara, let s start with you. will the supreme court be forced to weigh in on trump s ballot eligibility? i think that s the driving question right now. i think so. i don t know how they dodged this. in light of the fact that we have seen different opinions now coming out of different states. i think, ultimately, there is a risk that we get this patchwork of eligibility that s different in all 50 states. even that each state gets to decide procedurally how they handle ballot questions, the substance of who is eligible is really a question for the u.s. supreme court interpreting the 14th amendment, it s a question. i think most people expect that the court might find some procedural off-ramp to avoid a
