On Today's Show

On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:

First, Fareed gives his Take on the revelations surrounding Bob Woodward's new book and the anonymous New York Times op-ed, and some other key developments that risk being overlooked.

"[W]hile the great presidential psychodrama captivates us, let's remember that there are real things happening in the real world that continue – trends that will prove consequential whether or not they get talked about on television," Fareed says.
 
Next, Fareed is joined by former US Secretary of State John Kerry, author of a new memoir, "Every Day Is Extra." Is the United States facing a constitutional crisis? What does he make of the Republican-led Senate? What does he think of the US decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal? And what does he think of President Trump's engagement with Vladimir Putin? Fareed discusses all this and more.

Watch John Kerry discuss the current state of the Senate
 
Also on the show: Sunday is election day in Sweden. What is behind the rise in popularity of the far-right Sweden Democrats? Does the party have a coherent platform? Joining Fareed to discuss the implications of the election is former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt.

Plus: Fareed is joined by Jonathan Haidt, co-author of "The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure," to talk about "callout culture" and the risks of free speech being stifled on American college campuses.
