Today on the show, as college campuses are embroiled in protests against Israel’s war in Gaza, Fareed hosts a spirited debate with New York Times columnist Bret Stephens and Columbia University professor Bruce Robbins. They discuss the limits of free speech and the US’s role in the war.
Then, former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren joins the show to talk to Fareed about the looming ground operation in Rafah, and what Israel’s war with Hamas will look like in the long term.
Next, Matt Pottinger, former deputy national security adviser under President Trump, tells Fareed why he thinks the Biden administration ought to adopt a more confrontational approach to relations with China.
Finally, Fareed talks to Ieva Jusionyte, author of “Exit Wounds,” about the American guns that are crossing into Mexico and their role in perpetuating the cycle of violence on the southern border.
