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
Other. With the basic principles of the republic on the line. A name more famous for decades and decades than nikki haley, in republican circles, came out swinging directly at the Presumptive Republican nominee, donald trump, early this morning. In a post liz cheney saying this, quote, the gop has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We we have eight months to save our republic, and ensure that donald trump is never anywhere near the oval office again. Then liz cheney sent people to this video originally released in may. Watch. Donald trump is the only president in American History who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power. Joe biden he lost the election and knew it. He betrayed millions of americans by telling them the election was stolen. We will stop the steal he ignored the rulings of dozens of courts. Rather than accept his defeat, he mobilized a mob to come to washington and march on the capitol. Then he watched
American public. They are not journalists. They are liberal hacks who dont like or trust the tens of millions of americans who voted for donald trump last election. Of course they werent going to actually cover what a former president of the United States was saying in his own defense, but we will. This is a very sad day for america and it was also very sad driving through washington, d. C. And seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti. This is 5 cushion of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america, so, if you cant beat them, you persecute them or prosecute them. We cant let this happen in america. Laura well, shame on the regime media for not having the decency to cover this case as it should be covered or those remarks. But, none of us should be surprised. The New York Times, the washington post, other cable in networks he theyre teaming with unindicted coconspirator. At every turn they seek to protect the party
From washington had sent pulses racing among some people, hoping that there may be an imminent agreement for a cease fire, however temporary, between hamas and israel. And the hamas delegation arriving in cairo today for the talks also expressed hope that a deal could be reached. And again, Optimism Sort of grew, but there were significant obstacles. And anybody covering this story over the last few months will know that often hopes of a ceasefire are dashed by realities on the ground. And one of israels obstacles and demands that was that hamas should present a detailed list of the hostages who would be released under the terms of any future agreement, of course, in exchange for palestinian prisoners in israeli jails. That list hasnt been provided by hamas. There are thought to be at about 134 hostages held by hamas and other groups in gaza. About 30 of those may actually be dead. And israel wanted to know who was still alive, who was going to be released. That hasnt been forthcoming.
