10:01 am
square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria today on the program after last sunday's political earthquake hey, a stunning decision as biden abruptly ended his candidacy, the democratic party has a new presumptive nominee for president and today marks just one 100 days until the election the new york times, ezra klein will join me to talk about the camila candidacy. >> and what we know no, and don't know about vice president harris know how many also too great historian's first neil ferguson on. donald trump's republican party and the state of the conservative movement worldwide then and applebaum on or trump mark rissi on the rise all over the world why does the world seems so vulnerable to it today but
10:02 am
first, here's my take it's too early to write up the legacy of joe biden. >> he has six more months in his presidency and in these volatile times, much could happen but it seems worth looking back at what we now know will be a one-term presidency and asking what will define it in history to me, the signature aspect of biden's presidency has been his big break from decades of economic policy for almost half a century. the federal government has refrained from any transformative, long-term investments in the american economy even the large covid payments were for consumption, not for investment in fact, that defining fiscal policies of our times have been tax cuts. president reagan bush, and trump. all enacted large tax cuts that broadly benefited the rich the result has been an
10:03 am
america that can be characterized by private opulence and public decay. $100,000,000 homes in a country where the roads are scarred by potholes and children die at higher rates than any other country in the industrialized world. these tax cuts, by the way, along with spending on wars in afghanistan and iraq, are responsible for much of america's enormous federal debt biden change this narrative he used the resources of the federal government to make large investments in infrastructure, childcare, manufacturing, and energy these investments will not pay off anytime soon. many of them have just begun but the u.s. is now undergoing the largest upgrade of its transportation infrastructure since the 1950s, with more than 56,000 projects already launched it is seeing a boom in manufacturing investment and employment that reverses a decades long trend
10:04 am
green energy is booming. and for the year that it was in effect, biden's expanded child tax credit help reduce child poverty in america by 46% moving a staggering 3.4 million children out of poverty in one year. the credit expired after a year, and congressional republicans refused to renew it. biden's measures helped trigger the strongest post covid recovery of any major economy. the u.s. has produced over 15 million jobs, the most ever for any precedent in one term, the unemployment rate stayed under 4% for over two years that's the longest since the 1960s black labor force participation rates are now higher than of whites for the first time ever on a sustained basis, and so on. it's true that inflation surged and while the pandemic played a role so did an excessive infusion of
10:05 am
cash into the economy for which biden must be held responsible there are aspects of his policies that i disagree with, but overall is former treasury secretary larry summers told bloomberg tv, the record is remarkable. summer's added i don't think any administration has so outperformed the economic forecasts on the day that it came into office biden gets almost no credit for this economic revival. some of that is the lingering effects of inflation. and the persisting crisis of affordability in areas like health care, housing, and higher education but much of it, as i have long argued, is that we live in an age of cultural politics the issue on which republicans have been attacking him mostly is not the economy, but the border on that biden was vulnerable because he had pandered too long to his left-wing, allowing the system to collapse under the weight of millions of migrants arriving at the border and demanding the protections
10:06 am
that come from seeking asylum finally adjusted but by then, donald trump had forbidden any republican cooperation to alleviate the crisis. the other area where biden has made his mark as foreign policy. he is address the challenges presented by the return of russia and a rising china but done it not through solo actions of one shot deals the administration has strengthened america's alliance system, bolstering nato and adding two new members to its sweden and finland. similarly, in the indo-pacific it has built new structures of cooperation and deterrence with japan, south korea, india, australia yeah, and others. all in all, it has handled the world well enough that surveys suggest that most countries rate the united states and joe biden much more favorably than they did under donald trump. the final legacy of biden is that he has returned the presidency to an office of sanity decency, and
10:07 am
dignity, i think are showing out the dangerous demagoguery and anti-democratic rhetoric and behavior that preceded him but four, that legacy to endure and for biden's term not to simply be a moment in time he needed to ensure that the united states actually closes the chapter on donald from and to help make this more likely he made the painful decision not to run for the presidency which will also earn him a special place in the history books joe biden has felt that he has been underestimated all his life judging by his tenure in the white house he's right go to cnn.com slash fareed for a link to my washington post column this week and let's get started has there been a crazy
10:08 am
a month in american politics? a month ago, jokey, preston biden's disastrous debate was two weekends ago. an attempt on former president trump's life. last sunday and announcement by president biden that he is leaving the presidential race then literally overnight, the wilmington, delaware offices of his reelection campaign will transformed into kamala harris, headquarters within days, the vice president had rallied staff and supporters, raised record funds and handily won the commitment of enough delegates to secure the nomination. but subbing in harris for biden is a risky proposition. with just 100 days left until the election can she pull it off? joining me now is the new york times opinion columnist, ezra klein. he has been writing with uncommon acuity about the campaign for months. and in february was one of the earliest it's voices calling for biden to step aside
10:09 am
welcome ezra. >> thank you. good to be here so you did ask in february for biden to step aside, but you also called for a very specific thing which was an open drum democratic primary that would or mini primary that would lead to an open convention at which may the best person become the nominee that second part hasn't happened. >> how important do you think that was? and what do you think about the very rapid coronation of kamala harris? >> well, in february, there was a lot of time and there's not a lot of time now, what i said then two was it you were thinking if you wanted to argue as i did, then that the risk of running biden was too high. you had to be comfortable with harris becoming the nominee because she was always overwhelmingly the most likely alternative nominee. she is the sitting vice president by the time biden did step aside, you were looking at weeks between
10:10 am
there and the convention and a couple of things that happened in between those periods. one, was it the truth is, for all of the agita in the party about kamala harris said behind closed doors that there was a whole lot before we could go. >> she was flawless functionally, since the debate she had been in a very tricky position of both backing biden absolutely. while showing that she could do the job if she had to step into his shoes. and she was an extremely good surrogate and she's just very good at holding the party together and making people feel comfortable by her. so by the time biden did step aside an endorsed her opinions inside the party had changed, which led to a very rapid coalescing around her so what do you think of the there is going to be a republican line of attack that this was a kind of an inside job democratic elites didn't allow the democratic primary voters views to be heard do you think that'll stick? >> will that be effective? >> i think that line of attack is very funny. i think republicans are flailing pretty
10:11 am
badly right now i was surprised they were not more ready for this. i think that you could see this coming as of a couple of weeks ago at the convention chen, there should have been if they were a party that was hedging bets a lot more talk about kamala harris. they should have probably been ready with ads. this is not hard blocking and tackling to see what was coming down the pike here. the idea that the democratic party is not respecting the will of its voters. it's voters in july of 2023, a plurality do not want joe biden to run again? i mean, that was one of the things i was talking about in those initial essays. democratic primary voters, like all voters felt, joe biden was too old to be an effective president. in a second term and have said that repeatedly for a very long time, it was democratic elites who were very slow to coming to this conclusion. they supported biden in running unopposed and not doing interviews and not doing debates. >> that's not a cover up. his team thought he was stronger than he was. it's why they accepted and negotiated for the early june debate. but i mean, if you are looking at democratic polling right now, if you are falling democrats and social media, the outpouring of like actual
10:12 am
passion and enthusiasm for harris is far beyond what the top levels of the democratic the party were expecting. i mean, i can tell you for a fact that really a week ago, i mean, the sunday morning by the un end up dropping out later that day on. democrats are still very worried about kamala harris, still very worried if he she could step into his shoes, still very worried about how she played in the midwest. that last one is still an open question for them. but in terms of how the party the is feeling, because that's an attack aimed at the democratic party's base. the party has a kind of enthusiasm and verb, and a vibe shift that i don't think i've ever seen the structure of political sentiment change with this repetitive within 48 hours in my entire career as a journalist so what do you make of the race right now? because it's still very close. >> and you know, surprising to me is even after the debate, it really moved a point-to-point and a half, which tells you that at the end of the day there's i don't know, 45% on each side and a little bit of
10:13 am
play in the middle there so do you do for reading the tea leaves, do you see anything that's changed look the polling when we talk about 45, 45, this is not a national race, right? i mean, as you know, better than anyone, this is race that is going to be decided in michigan, in wisconsin, and pennsylvania, potentially, she might expand the map some to arizona to georgia, to north carolina that's where this race is going to happen. and so far, biden has been a little bit further down in the battleground states than he is nationally that has looked very similar in polling of harris. again, like i want to see how that looks over the next two weeks. but harrison now going to have a series of opportunities to introduce herself to the public as a function of timing or a strategic questions and of timing, the fact that the shift in the democratic party happened after the republican convention, after they had taken that opportunity and use what they had on joe biden and not her. it puts democrats in a very advantageous position. they're going to be able to have this whole convention introducing her and where they want to go to the entire country with the entire lineup
10:14 am
but national democrats behind her obama, biden clinton, et cetera and that's going to be significant. the question is, what foot she puts forward, who does she want to be? what is the version of kamala harris? she wants people to know. and where does she break with what has been coming before her in terms of what it's going to reshape the race, i think that's really the course the questions will stay with us because next on gps, we're going to ask ezra klein exactly that question just who is kamala harris? and what kind of brush? because when would she be right after this the russians were trying to spy on us. >> we were spying on them. >> this is a secret war. >> secrets and spies now streaming on max meet the jennifer's gen x and y, and z each planning their future for the mobile app. gen x is planning a summer portugal with some help from jpmorgan wealth plan. >> let's go whiskers to and why is working with a bank or to budget for her birthday? you

kamala harris hadn't entire high profile high-stakes career before she became joe biden's running mate and then vice president she was the district attorney of san francisco, then the attorney general of california, then a us senator from that state. >> but there is nevertheless a sense of mystery surrounding some of her policy positions back with me now is ezra klein of the new york times. ezra klein show row. when i say there's a mystery there's a sense in which people some people think, well, look, she's a california senator. she is san francisco liberal on the other hand, she made her name is a very tough prosecutor, tough on crime, all that kind of thing. >> do you have a sense as to who who is the real kamala harris i never know exactly who the real of any of us are, right? >> we change over time, but i'm in california and i've lived a good amount of my life itself, francisco too. >> so i know the politics of
10:20 am
that place, that the profile she had in california was moderate black law and order democrat. she gets international politics and there are huge expectations on her, probably more than she could bear at that exact moment. >> she runs in 2020. there's real push to have her run, but she's running at a time when the democratic party it absolutely does not want a law in order. democrat, this is post ferguson, post black lives matter. there is a huge amount of movement behind criminal justice reform. a huge amount of movement behind attacking. and i think correctly right on a policy level, lot of this, the ways in which the justice system has been discriminatory. so she sort of abandons out persona, but runs anyway, but never quite finds another one. she's big moments in the campaign, but they don't. again, speak to who she is at the core issue slices into joe biden on busing but doesn't really have a different position on busing. she kind of gets in trouble endorsing medicare for all and triangulating around it the thing is now, i think one thing
10:21 am
is that she simply matured as a national political figure, being in the spotlight for that long will change un she is spent a lot of time at munich security conferences. she'd been part of the biden administration, but also she now speaks on behalf of the democratic party, the work she was doing in the 2020 democratic primary to find actually differentiate herself from bernie sanders, from joe biden, from pete buttigieg, from amy klobuchar, from cory booker. she doesn't have to do that work. she is now the standard bearer. be content of the democratic party can be shaped and altered by her, but she also doesn't have to sort of weave around it. she can simply pick what she likes best and emphasize that except that the republicans are going to use the clips from that primary campaign, right? she embraced bernie sanders, medicare for all will that stick you think? >> to the extent that she has an ideological problem, it's not the chase to it's not that she has to find a new answer to who she is. but the biden ministrations record and democrats don't always like to
10:22 am
admit this is not popular so she needs answers, i think on both how to sell the biden mutations record better than biden himself has been able to do. i think that will be there in her communication skills, but but there are actual difficulties there, particularly, i think around inflation and immigration. and then she's going to need the question of, well, what would she do first, my suspicion from how she's running right now is the first since it's going to be roe and abortion. if she had a trifecta that she will restore the protections of roe the place where she really found her footing he ministration was around that and as much as donald trump tried to make this election about immigration, she's going to try to make it about dobbs. but there's also the question of her as an economic messenger and people do vote heavily on the economy on their own personal situation around affordability. and that i think is the biggest weakness for her. the biden ministration has really suffered from inflation from an affordability crisis that has been building for a long time behind inflation and housing and elder care and childcare. and she's going to need an answer and a policy set for why people should believe that a future with harris is
10:23 am
going to be more affordable than the past has been in there in their experience with joe biden so i will always had the view that there is a majority of americans who, will vote against trump. if you think about it, 2016, he loses the popular vote, winds narrowly gets the electoral college in 2018, he loses the house in 2020, he loses both popular vote and the electoral college in 2022, his candidates do terribly in the party does badly is that it's a very small majority. that's anti-trump, and that's why they there is this vulnerability do you think that that's right or because his poll numbers now seem better than the story i just told. >> i do not take a lot of comfort from the theory that gets called the anti-marquee majority theory. it's not that it's not there, but it's just a majorities, don't matter that much. so donald trump does lose by 7 million votes in 2020
10:24 am
he's gotten more popular since then. i mean, there's no doubt about it. we have never seen donald trump running ahead in national polls. now, maybe we've gotten better at polling his supporters because he has often had polling errors that were made him look weaker than he really was. but we've never seen a polling this strong he instead of ways has gotten worse and improved as a candidate i will say i think the big mistake donald trump made was picking j.d. vance. >> i think that there has been an opportunity for him to reboot some of his image, whether i think he has changed, notwithstanding and picking some like doug burgum for more inflation focus campaign even more a rubio, i think would've been helpful for him, but i'm picking j.d. vance. he has somebody who both in terms of policy, but much more importantly, i think here in terms of style, aesthetics, demeanor, the things he's actually said doubles down for people on the part of donald trump that scares them. write j.d. vance said he would have backed in puerto way donald trump's lies and efforts to challenge the 2020 election.
10:25 am
he's called for national abortion ban, and he just radiates a sort of rage and contempt for liberals and people outside the donald trump tent that i think turns a lot of people off so that i think has made trump a little bit more vulnerable than he would have been if he if he ran a different race. but i don't i think democrats is you should underestimate trump they've lost it all jump before they need to take seriously the possibility it could happen again. and i think the fact that they take it so seriously is why the party did such an extraordinary thing in mobilizing internally to convince joe biden to step aside as always, a pleasure to talk to you. thank you. >> thank you, my friend next on gps, a deeper look at the gop and its popular shift under donald trump what will the likes of ronald reagan think of today's republican party will explore with neil ferguson tonight the whole story digs deeper for into a historic weekend presidential politics first, the rise of kamala harris followed by the story of

10:31 am
nine attitude towards immigration is, that gone? i think he got back to its roots. amman has to remember that the republican party was a protection as party for most of its history in the 19th century. >> that was one of the differentiating things compared with the democrats it's in the south who were for free trade republicans only really reconciled themselves to free trade after world war ii. >> and the only became full believers in globalization as in free trade, free capital movements i'm free population movements. >> after the cold war was ended and you can see that extraordinary convergence that happens between democrats and republicans, at least the elites of those parties in favor of globalization in the 1990s and the early 2000s. but that's over and it's over for a very good political reason so in a sense, the republican party is now a kind of reaction
10:32 am
against all these conservative movement in a way i think so. >> i mean, to me, the puzzling thing when i first started working in the united states, which was back in 2002, was that the wasn't already a protection as party. i can remember going around asking it at the time of the midterms where where are the protections candidates? because there ought to be some given what's happening since china joined the world trade organization, which was 2001, it was after that that you had this tremendous decline in manufacturing jobs in the american heartland. plus you had the population rising, rising the foreign born share of the population rapidly rising towards it's previous peak, which was back in the late 19th century and i kept asking myself, why is there no backlash against globalization on the right, on the left. and it finally came much later than i expected. >> and in the unlikely form of donald j. >> trump donald trump in an interesting moment in that bloomberg interview, talks
10:33 am
about william mckinley and mackinlay, of course, is a return to that republican tradition of protectionism. >> high tariffs, all that kind of thing everybody who wants to dismiss donald trump as all ego, no substance should read that interview that he gave that was published just a couple of days after the assassination attempts against him because he sets out quite clearly, he his political theory. >> it's a protectionist one. he argues that tariffs are a good thing as a source of revenue and as a negotiating tool with our trading partners. he's very clear that he sees currency wars as the way in which asian countries, not only china, but before that, japan have been able to compete success fully against american manufacturing. and so it's quite sophisticated argument and it shows that trump is more connected than people realize to that 19th century tradition.
10:34 am
he explicitly says i see myself as being like president william mckinley and i think the tariff that 80-90 is what i'm all about now. this is definitely not the donald trump of social media. this is a quite serious attempt to recast republicanism in its 19th century form. so nobody should underestimate that donald trump has a serious ideological vision of a conservatism, republicanism rooted in a 19th century tradition. and i think it's quite an appealing kind of republicanism for a substantial number of voters, particularly in the heartland states. >> and in picking j.d. vance, it seems that trump has consolidated the transformation of the republican party into a kind of populist party. >> i think that happened because vance was several obviously not the establishment take the republican
10:35 am
establishment, which still clings on to some influence over the party wanted him to pick doug burgum, the governor of north dakota and trump effectively said no, no, no. you guys really don't call the shots anymore. >> i'm going to go with the person who converted to maga to trumpism. >> and that's true because vance, the man who wrote hillbilly elegy, was not a trump yes. >> he became one and that's the significance of his appointment. >> the significance may also be that it makes it easier for kamala harris to win this election because jd vance's views on the whole range of issues present a much better target. >> donald trump's, because trump is not really a social conservative whereas jd vance has a become quite militant. >> one on issues particularly abortion, but also on women's rights more generally, that are great issues for democrats to mobilize their base on male ferguson always a pleasure. >> thank you very lot for reading next on gps democracies

10:41 am
wherever you stand on that claim, autocracy is gaining ground around the world. >> but our democracy is a reckoning fully with this new breed of autocrats anne applebaum is a pulitzer prize winning author and a staff writer at the atlantic. her important new book is autocracy, inc. the dictators who want to run the world welcome in in, in this fascinating book, you point out that the dictators of today look very different from the ones we used to think of. the tin part. single military ruler who runs this country with an iron fist and bankruptcy describe the new autocrats well, the new autocrats are not tin-pot. >> they are mostly billionaires and they rarely rule alone. they, they, they've created networks so that the state state-owned companies in one
10:42 am
dictatorship do business but the state owned companies in the next, the military's cooperate. they sell one another surveillance technology. they share other kinds of technology. they share tactics for defeating their political oppositions they operate much more like it's not exactly an alliance because they aren't aligned ideologically. but as i said, at a network a community of interest they're not ideologically similar because you're talking about chinese communist bouton, the iranian boulez, right what do they have in common? >> no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, they're not there's no there's no ideological links, so don't think of it as an alliance and i would argue that this is very much not the new cold war. they're linked by rather ties of interests, sometimes financial interests they share interests in carrying out the same kinds of repression and of course, the other thing that links them is their interest in us. and by us, i mean you and me and a lot
10:43 am
of people watching the show, their very he interested in the language of liberalism, the language of the rule of law, the language of rights, the language of freedom. as they see that language, they hear it coming from their own oppositions. they hear it coming from us, and they're trying now very hard to push back on it to discredit it, whether it's through their own actions chen's whether it's through avoiding sanctions or whether it's through whether it's through new information warfare, they had they have that in common. >> you said that an alliance, but they do they have been cooperating more recently. and if you look at this race of recent report of fascinating reporting boarding report of two russian bombers and two chinese bombers that were acting in concert near alaska. this was picked up by norad first-time the russian and chinese militaries have actually cooperated. it does, it is beginning to feel like they are inching towards some
10:44 am
kind of an alliance. >> yeah as i said, i doubt it will be a formal alliance and i doubt there'll be aligned in everything. but it doesn't surprise me at all. increasingly, russia and china cooperate in the economic realm russia's now very dependent on china and in a way that it wasn't a decade ago the chinese have been supplying components and parts to the russian defense industry going around sanctions. and i know the united states is now looking at secondary sanctions that it ways of pushing back against that. but they they see themselves as as i said, not maybe having the same goals but having the same enemies and one of those enemies is the u.s. but as i said, i think i think it's better described more broadly as this set of ideas and rules that they feel hamper them and constrain their power so that's about the autocrats abroad. >> but you talk about autocrats at home as equally dangerous and you're thinking of people
10:45 am
like viktor orban the polish, right? >> and donald trump what's the common thread there well the, the common thread is shared tactics what do they have in common? they have a common belief that they shouldn't be hampered by the rule of law. and i would argue yes, that donald trump, who's somebody who whose whole business career was tied in with and moved in and out of his relationships with foreign autocrats, foreign business people that they bought, they bought apartments, they plot condominiums in his in his properties that he also sees himself as someone who would like to rule without constraint, without rules. and he's said as much himself. he, he describes his admiration for xi jinping, who he thinks is very strong. he's talking okay repeatedly about his admiration for putin he sees those kinds of leaders as people he admires. >> now, you know, they're going to be people who say, look, trump is a narcissist, but
10:46 am
you're exaggerating their all these businessman in america who have come out in recently supporting him, everyone from by musk, too, many of their finance billionaires anyone, what would you say to them as any? what are they missing i would say that even just the name elon musk. >> i mean, i think there is a there is a group of business people in the united states who also hope to draw to create a system closer to that of the autocratic world. they would also like to operate with fewer constraints and they would also like to have the kind of relationship to power that business people have in russia or china, or elsewhere in the autocratic world, whereby people who are close to the theater or to the ruling party have special deals and special arrangements and are taken into consideration in special ways. and sometimes make their money off of those arrangements. and you can begin to see in the united states that there are people there, their companies who are looking in that

users to create custom emojis find a photo by describing it and communicate with siri more easily google recently introduced the ai overviews to produce a concise answer to a search query rather than just a list of links they really are endless ways ai could make our lives easier. but the massive expansion of ai has a hidden cost. it uses massive amounts of energy everyone knows that when machines do test for humans, they use energy. if you write an elevator instead of walking up the stairs, that takes electricity a farmer who uses a combine harvester instead of picking crops by hand, has to burn fuel but people seem to forget this obvious factor when it comes to labor saving devices of a less tangible kind. consider a.i.-generated image generation tools. you type a prompt and it produces an image something that would take much more time and effort for human artist but
10:53 am
off at some data-center computer chips are chugging away to create that image, consuming electricity in the process. one study found that generating four of the images you just saw takes as much electricity as fully charging your smartphone producing texts like chatgpt takes less energy than producing images, but consider the scale. last year, researchers said chatgpt was receiving hundreds of millions of queries daily, feeling all those requests consumed enough electricity to power 2030 thousand us households for an entire day google's new ai summaries or thought us tend to 30 times the energy of a normal search ai drinks up energy because it's essentially an electronic brain you may be surprised to learn that the human brain, despite its small size, consumes 20% of a person's energy load tech
