First, Fareed gives his Take on the US government shutdown over border wall funding. "In one sense, Donald Trump has already achieved success. He has been able to conjure up a crisis out of thin air, elevate this manufactured emergency to national attention, paralyze the government and perhaps now even invoke war-like authority and bypass Congress," Fareed says. "He may still fail, but it should worry us that a president – any president – can do what Trump has done."
So could President Trump build the wall by declaring a national emergency? Would he be stopped by Congress or the courts?

Amid the shutdown mess in Washington, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been criss-crossing the Middle East and laying out the Trump administration's vision for the region. Fareed discusses with Martin Indyk, former US ambassador to Israel, Robin Wright, contributing writer at The New Yorker, and Tarek Masoud, professor of public policy and international relations at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
