American Politics and the World Today: A Conversation with Fareed Zakaria

Too bad Fareed is only interested in getting the Left elected.

I can't believe the flatness that goes with asking immigrants where they grew up. Even where they came from. Just a flat response.

What do the Iranians have to sell. Oatmeal? If they could design better electrical chords and plugs... because I detest the Chinese models via Home Depot.

Always thoughtful and intelligent probing by you, Mr. Rose. Thank you.

Charlie thinks he camouflaged on a chess board and a wall of books.

Wasn’t Rose🌹using his hands on employee(s) ?? How come he is back ?

hopefully Charlie can keep is hands to himself ;D

Luv ya Charlie. Glad to see you back in podcast life. I am a longtime viewer of yours & will turn 60 this year. I will watch. They backstabbed you & did you dirty at CBS, especially Norah. She makes me sick, God forgive me. 😊God bless you

Mr Charlie Rose, how about interviewing Mr Kishore of Singapore? You interviewed Mr Lee Kuan Yew twice, I think.

Great to see you again Charlie! I’m from Singapore. Your interviews used to be soothing and illuminating. Fareed has always been good. Please get more Asian perspectives. Tks.

It is sad that Fareed seems to imply that he had to "flee" India because of being a Muslim. It is the same theme that makes the liberal media in America almost despise the BJP and the Modi government for its "Hindu fanaticism." But the reality on the ground is dramatically different. Muslims in India are now and have always been a powerful political force. Indian Muslims have become far, far more successful than their counterparts in Pakistan and Bangla Desh. It is Muslims that overthrew the BJP in Karnataka last year and restored the Congress Party to power. Whereas what are called the "Upper Caste," particularly Brahmins, have been ridiculed and ostracized for decades now. The DMK party in the state of Tamil Nadu is dedicated to completely eliminating all power and influence that the Brahmins had under British rule. The guiding theme of that party is "Dravidians (non-Aryans) Forward." One of their leaders years ago referred to as Periyar, or "great man" (his real name was E.V. Ramasamy) called for the genocide of all Brahmins. It is the fear of the intense hate of Brahmins to induce Kamala Harris' mother to run away from India. Just research "Periyar and Brahmin hate" and you'll find references.

The colonized brains of the Congress party, ever since independence, created a truly Anti-Hindu Constitution. It gave full protection to Muslims and Christians, but left Hindus wide open to attack and exploitation. Hindu Temples were left open to continued looting just as the British did using their "Hindu religious and Charitable Endowments Act" which in the guise of protecting and improving temples, actually looted them. The Congress government did nothing to eradicate that foul and vicious act. The BJP has come to power to wake Indians up from their hypnotic sleep that the Congress party has brainwashed them into for decades. It is time for Americans to wash off their hate of Hindus and India and American hate of the "Caste system." The reality is that the Indian government, for decades, starting with the Constitution, has used the caste system to exploit, to divide, and maintain hate of one group of Indians against the other. The word "Caste" is a Portuguese word, exploited by the British to divide and rule India. Whereas the original word was Varna, meaning "Colors of personality." Do find and read the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18 verses 41 onwards to learn the truth. The word Jati (pronounced Jaathi) is also very commonly used to define communities based on occupation. Like the name "Smith" has been used in English to define the occupation of people such as metal workers and various others.

So good to see you back and hear your interview and intelligent questions.

This is a quite superficial way to look at geopolitical and historical issues. And by the way, without offering the 'rest of the world' as you designate other countries acceptance and respect to their fair share to their cultural, intellectual including innovative, and economic participation. you cannot demand world leadership for the USA ( which is also by the way distinct from what you refer to as America). So precise to some extent and details, hardy to take as superficial in its tone and conclusions. Smart is something different.

Fareed belongs to corporate media

Fareed, Donald Trump is a menace to society! A rapist, a thief, a morally corrupt criminal. I had a hard time listening to you talk about Donald Trump in such glowing terms.

So Mr. Zakaria, you turn over a country to a maniacal Islamic regime that kills women and puts them in shakels and you are happy that you have turned a country back to its own people. In Afghanistan there other Afghans that are not Taliban and you destroyed them to appease the Pakistani’s. Unfortunately you as typical Americans take the simple Joe route to everything which does not reflect the sophistication of a super power. This is the problem.

Thank both of you, the questions Charlie brought up, and the way Fareed responded. Very eye opening, Thanks again

I am Iranian living in us, in the issue of iran and the sanctions I don’t think that Iranians are against Americans, because they don’t believe what the regime is telling them, even if they are saying the truth. People of iran right now are against the Democratic Party, unfortunately, because they believe that trump will come and help the regime change eventually, which I believe that is not true. People know that since we in iran attacked the us embassy, being trouble maker in the region and spending all the money and the sources for hizb-o lahh off course bring the nation to this point that we are in today. Just wanted to share that. We have about 40000 political prisoners. They certainly do not think US brought us to this point, but mullah did.

First and foremost, Thanks to you Charlie Rose. You've taught me,another citizen of the world 🌎 in America 🇺🇸 , to engage with more critical thinking. I've been your follower for many years and you've taught me through the questions you've asked, thought provoking instances on each guest.

Finally, Fareed Thank you for the lessons in history, I love Been an American for the freedom it has granted us with: Be yourself and say what you think.

I friggin Love you Charlie! Miss you BIG TIME on PBS, but ALWAYS Supportive of what you bring to the national discussion. Only someone of your Caliber/History could do what you do with the some of the Greatest Minds of the current Times. btw. my Son is named Charlie, not for you, but I'm so Glad in some way that he shares your name. Keep doing what you do. We NEED your voice in today's politics now more then ever!

Just what I would expect from CNN types
Gee, why are they going bankrupt?
Barack got nasty because TEA party took away his majority
So Lois Lerner plead the 5th HOW MANY TIMES

The Dutch were slave traders too like the French and British colonialists. Brilliant as the Dutch are they are equally guilty.

He’s whiter than most of the Caucasians that I have come across.
The plagiarism claims also make sense now that I find an uncanny resemblance to one of Hobbswam’s book’s titles that Mr Zak borrowed.

Dr. Zakaria is one of the brightest observers of world politics around, in my opinion.

So biased...

Kamala Harris humor such hogwash of rubbish by far the lowest of low mediocre levels just step outside and see the nations civic municipal situations and rubbish resources spent.t just on this and not making at least your environment city town better these stooges no

Problems of systems were always there, population was less so resources kind of met those heads yet history is full of poverty driven depressions crashing of stock markets murky financial systems yet same time unheard sums being spent on wars, all this happening during second world war and thereafter and this welfare system was born to help the desperation this megalomania never stopped of running doing proxy wars on other nations with fuel control in middle east in middle so to speak, when you sit in your well formed life from early on like Charlie Rose and Fareed even you do not realize what average earner or minimum wages have been going through

That immigrants are from entire world is totally ignored by fascist black white club of domination terrorism abuse intimidation on others, Chinese writer Wu I think book also reveals the same fact

Studying in American ethos clouds you in same systems they are run on going bad to worse, so in this your understanding judging anything is also same, it's when you step aside and take everything peel it off later by layer you get to know how and what it, then your intellect wakes up and writes what you see as truths, I didn't start this fire it already was there bursting out mostly in creative field without anybody doing anything about it least of political lobbies backers puppet theater

We all know it
Just sharing.

We all know ALL politicians lie to get power.
We all know intellectuals are heavily biased too.
"All are obvious rascals" or limited.

We all know women ARE seen as less, and all men feel they can manipulate, use and abuse them.

We all know children are given zero inputs, though it is obviously SO simple to teach them properly.
(After all, we could teach a dead silicon to mimic intelligence usefully with AI. )

We all know Capitalism as such, liberty and trade, IS needed to literally survive in every way and woke is the dead end of Marxian aberrations.

We all know life is finite, there is no god in whose name we kill due to conditioned beliefs and stories.

We all know wars have NO historical reason, and we all really do not wish it.
(We do NOT go around doing that in our neighborhood.)
So, wars are an issue of power lust only.
So, these king like figures have never done and never will do any good. In fact, we know enough (or can learn) that we will not go to any heaven but unimaginable hell, in the near future.

We all know that all these things can be easily fixed, and we are all waiting for SOMEBODY to do that.

We decieve ourselves too that the Pansies of the World will do it. We fall for their "narrative" and get divided, while knowing, it IS a game in which "thry" will win, and "we" will be used. Yet, we do it.

We all know we must DO something, but we feel too small and feel, we cannot do anything.
And, hence, we all feel nothing will happen,
Because we all know nothing will happen, because we do not speak truth, even while knowing.
We know this too in a way.

We must speak the truth, all of us, in our capacity.

I wonder whether we know the power of that.
But somewhere we know that too.

We should speak the truth and
Nothing else is really needed.
Enough information is there today.

It is enough to speak the truth and be happy because speaking the truth keeps us happy too.

It was THE BEST advice given to me by a friend years back.
"Care a damn"!

Good to see Charlie back. There is pain in his face. And of course he has aged.

Just goes to show that, for all his fame and fortune, when life throws pain at you it will leave its mark on your face.

Full of falsehoods. Russia just wants Ukraine to be neutral for its security. Not driving Nato out. China is happy to have US as the hegemon and USD as world's reserve currency. It just doesn't want the US to split Taiwan from China as it has promised before in the one-China policy and not arming Taiwan to fight a proxy war. Iran wants to have the Palestine resolved peacefully and not being threatened all the time. Fareed clearly knows that but spins to be in line with DNC and thecweapons industry for future Presidential candidacy. Time will tell.

Sounds like this guy is preparing himself to be a Democrat candidate in time to come.

welcome your return

Biden's legacy will be, A weak old and dilapidated Egomania President who had to be threaten and finally forced out by he's own party.

What I want to know is where the hell Fareed is. That view from his room, just wow!

Zacaria has so little understanding regular Americans and so little empathy......you should be required (no literally) be forced to live a year or two in Madison Georgia, or Aberdeen Alabama, Ada, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas.....rt al .....your contempt of Trump is totally miscast.....How can people respect you. ? Your wrong on every point.

‘Your friend Jake Sullivan” said it all 😂

I used to consider him an honest observer. Then I realized, he is just another bought MSM hack.

one jerk interviewing another

I was shocked to hear Fareed Zakaria speak about Gaza and praise the Israeli army's success, without mentioning the thousands of children, mostly Muslims, who have been killed—people who share the same religion as him.

This is a mind blasting discussion.

😮 the nail is on the head. Listen to this.

Great interview!

Charlie I am so so happy to see you back. You are the best ! Love you Charlie. ❤️

in what world does fareed thinks biden did well

the conversation was going fine untill gaza thats when fareed went south
