On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on the resurgence of big ideas in the Democratic Party, as facts and details are sometimes left out.
"Today we have big, dramatic, stirring ideas, and that could be the problem," Fareed says, of proposals like Medicare for all. "Facts are sometimes misrepresented, the numbers occasionally don't add up, and emotional appeal tends to trump actual policy analysis."
Republicans already have a troubled relationship with facts, and "if the Democrats now start moving along this path as well, American politics will truly descend into a new dark age," Fareed says.
Next, we'll hear from Carlos Vecchio, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido's ambassador to the US, in a live interview on the situation in his country after Saturday's violent border clashes over international aid.
Our panel of former US national security advisor Stephen Hadley, former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt, and New Yorker staff writer and CNN global-affairs analyst Susan Glasser will discuss nuclear threats from Russia, the upcoming summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, and the future of the free world; David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming, will talk about the urgency of global warming and why it's time to panic; and our "What in the World" segment will examine the growing political power of evangelical Christians in Latin America. | |
