>> thank you for watching "state of the union." i'm michael smerconish. you can follow me on twitter if you can spell smerconish. "fareed zakaria gps" starts right now. this is gps, the global public scare. >> welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria. this week mr. netanyahu went to washington. russia reeled from the murder of a top opposition leader. and the question was raised are america and iran working together in iraq. should they? we have a terrific panel to talk about it all.
10:01 am
then a country that is collapsing and in response lashing out at dick cheney. it's very close to home. also in my continuing quest to remind you of the good news about the world out there, two special guests. swedish professor hans rosling will dazzle you with charts that show a very different world than you've been led to believe you live in. one of bill clinton's favorite experts will tell you about the amazing technological advances that are changing the world for the better. but first here is my take. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's speech to the united states congress was eloquent, moving and intelligent in identifying the problems with the potential nuclear deal with iran. but when describing the alternative to it, he entered
10:02 am
never neverland, painting a scenario utterly divorced from rye aelt. congress joined him on his fantasy ride, rapturously applauding as he spun out one unattainable demand after another. netanyahu declared that washington should reject the current deal, demand that iran dismantle almost its entire nuclear program, and commit never to restart it. in the world according to bibi, chinese, russians, europeans will cheer, tighten sanctions and increase pressure which would then lead iran to capitulate. dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough, says peter pan. we actually have some history that can inform us on the more likely course. between 2003 and 2005, under another practical president, mohammed khatami, iran negotiated with three european union powers a possible deal to place iran's nuclear program under constraints and inspections.
10:03 am
the chief nuclear neglect it'ser at the time was hassan rowhani, now iran's president. iran proposed to cap its centrifuges at very low levels keep enrichment levels well below those that could be utsed for weapons, and convert its existing enriched uranium into fuel rods which could not be put to military use. peter jenkins, the british representative to the international atomic agency said, all of us were impressed by the proposal. the talks collapsed because the bush administration, acting through the british government, vetoed it. it was certain, jenkins explained, that if the west could scare the iranians, they would give in. well, what was the result? did iran return to the table and capitulate? no. the country withstood the sanctions and now unimpeded by any inspections massively expanded its nuclear infrastructure.
10:04 am
iran went from 164 centrifuges to 19,000 accumulated over 17,000 pounds of enriched uranium gas and ramped up construction of a heavy water reactor at iraq, that's one that can be used to produce weapons grade plutonium. harvard university graham allison, one of the country's mother most experts on nuclear matters, pointed out that by insisting on max mallist deplandz and rejecting potential agreements the first of which would have limited iran to 164 centrifuges, we've seen iran advance from ten years away from producing a bomb to only months. netanyahu worries with this deal ten years from now, iran might restart some elements of its program. but without the deal, in ten years iran would likely have 50,000 centrifuges, a massive stockpile of highly enriched uranium, new facilities, thousands of experienced nuclear scientists and technicians and a
10:05 am
fully functioning heavy water reactor that can produce plutonium. at that point what will bibi do? for almost 25 years now, netanyahu argued iran was on the verge of producing a nuclear weapon. so why have bibi's predictions been proved wrong for 25 years? a small part of it has been western and israeli sabotage. but even the most exaggerated claims by intelligence agencies would not account for a delay of more than a few years. the larger part is probably that iran has always recognized that were it to build a bomb, it would face huge international consequences. in other words, mullahs have calculated, correctly in my view, the benefits of breakout are not worth the cost. the key to any agreement with iran is keep the cost of breakout high and the benefits low. this is the most realistic path
10:06 am
to keep iran from becoming a nuclear weapons state. not party pan dreams. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my "washington post" column this week. let's get started. for more on iran's nuclear ambitions and prime minister's netanyahu's speech to congress and much more i have a terrific panel joining me today. anne-marie slaughter, policy planning state department in president obama's first term. she's now president and ceo of the think tank new america. joseph nye, former assistant secretary of defense, former dean of the kennedy school of government former professor of mine and long time professor at harvard university. he's the author of the new book "is the american century over?" brett stephens is a pulitzer prize winning columnist for the
10:07 am
"wall street journal," and and peter beinart is a political commentator. imagine that bibi gets his wish that the deal is rejected by the united states. what do you think would be the reaction of europeans, chinese, the russians. when you were director of policy planning, these were your counterparts. you were dealing with them. what's their attitude? >> i think that's the worst outcome, there's no deal. it's because of the united states. because at that point, this coalition that we have pretty miraculously kept together, even the chinese and russians and europeans to keep sanctions on iran, that coalition will fall apart. it will be seen that there was a deal, that the deal was imperfect but much better than no deal, that the united states at the behest of israel blocked that deal. at that point our competitors, other nations will lift their sanctions and we're going to be
10:08 am
stuck with ours and with the ability of the iranian government to continue progressing toward a nuclear weapon. >> no zero hour in diplomacy . there was attempted negotiations in 2009 again in wr 10'10, '12. if this deal falls through at some point people will regroup and rethink. the best thing that can happen quite frankly, now that oil is worth half as much as it was when these negotiations began is that you can renew the kinds of serious economic pressure on the iranians that will make them rethink this. by the way, i think this deal suffers from this tremendous detect of the sunset provision. telling the iranians that in ten years they're free and clear when it comes to building any kind of nuclear -- >> there was never going to be a permanent deal in perpetuity. >> this began with discussion of 20 years, even generations. ten years is literally -- >> the goalpost retreated and west keeps moving towards
10:09 am
iranian position. >> goalposts have moved precisely because we have not been willing to agree to a deal that would freeze it where it was. they have gotten steadily closer to getting a nuclear weapon, more centrifuges, enriched uranium. if we don't get a deal, there's nothing to stop them. >> by the time we go to next round of negotiations, they will be even closer. whether oil prices stay low or stay strong there is not the appetite for massive economic pressure on other countries not as ideologically as us more dependent on iranian oil. to imagine we can get not just back to this coalition but to a much stronger coalition and we will be able to retard the progress iran has made in the interim i don't know anyone that studies either iranian politics or global politics vis-a-vis other major powers in the world thinks that's possible. >> joe, what do you think is the likelihood of these sanctions being able to stay in any event. sanctions notoriously get leaky after a while.
10:10 am
>> they will get leaky. if a deal falls through and it's regarded as our fault or israel's fault, i think they're not just going to leak. the boat is going to sink. >> because the countries will openly say we're not enforcing this. >> yes. i think the key question for bret, and i'd be interested in his reaction, if you really thought that low oil prices and a hope for continuation of sanctions would get you to zero centrifuges, then i think go along with that. do you think that's really plausible? >> we're going to hold that thought because we are going to take a break and bret stephens is going to answer joe nye's question when we get back.

10:13 am
10:15 am
we're back with anne-marie slaughter, joe sif nye, brett stephens and peter beinart. for the handful of people who did not sit through the commercial. >> the question i was posing for brett -- and it is a serious question, not a set-up of any sort is do you think you can, under the pressure of low oil prices and sanctions, which may be leaky, but we're hoping some will hold. do you think you can get to a situation where the iranians will really go towards zero centrifuges? >> yes. >> let me throw in a few facts. iranian program is not 36 years old. it was started by the shaw of iran under american prodding. it is a nationalistic program. a new poll showed the nuclear program in iran is popular.
10:16 am
it withstood the sanctions. it still withstood the iraq war. it only stopped in 2003 because of the coincidence of the high point of american power around the serious threat that the regime faced. basically they found themselves put to the choice -- have a nuclear program or keep the regime. when the choices were that stark, they in fact moved. >> so we're not going to topple the regime. they don't face that pressure. we're essentially either going to have for deal or a deal that stops things and is in a better position. >> threat.ing to topple the regime is the one insurance policy they could buy. >> you have to exact a price. this is a regime winning everywhere it looks throughout the middle east. >> let me ask you about this.
10:17 am
in your and prime minister netanyahu's conception of iran there is this great paradox. they're winning everywhere gobbling up other countries but actually on the verge of collapse because of lower oil prices and sanctions. how can both be true? >> they are economically vulnerable. countries on the march can have general vulnerables. right now vulnerability -- >> are they very strong or are they very weak? >> economically vulnerable but at the same time they are playing their cards terrifically in taking advantage of an absence of american will to defend u.s. interest in syria, yemen, and iraq. >> what do you think about reports, "new york times" has a terrific one about the fact that the u.s. is tacitly relying on iran to battle isis in iraq. >> it's not surprising at all. iran and u.s. have overlapping interests there. part of what benjamin netanyahu was trying to say, isis is the moral equivalent of the regime in iran. that's not true.
10:18 am
the iranian regime is a very nasty, brutal ma lev eleventhelevolent regime. it's the country that has capacity to be a stable democracy. if it westbound isis there would not be 20,000 jews living in iran with functioning synagogues. we have much more in common both strategically with this government in iran than isis. i think this is one of netanyahu's big problems. most american don't believe iran and isis are similar threats to the u.s. they concede isis is of a different caliber. >> what about that point. you look at afghanistan, iran and the u.s. have basically the same interests. both don't like the taliban. if you look at iraq iraq and the united states have similar interests. is it possible to go beyond the nuclear issue? >> not a perfect one. i have a view middle east is
10:19 am
going through the equivalent of europe's 30-year war. you're seeing religious divisions, state divisions, non-state groups all battling. essentially in that kind of a situation, there's going to be a lot of fluidity in terms of what alliances, contemporarytemporary coalitions are going to happen. we're not going to run that any more than you can run french revolution to switch metaphors in the period after 1789. it takes two or three decades for these things to work themselves through. will we be involved in one group and another group and the enemy of my enemy, i think yes. >> what do you make of the death -- murder of boris nemtsov. is there anything to say about it? >> i think we are seeing what a brutal regime this is. a regime that i think is stripped more and more of any shred of legitimacy it faces, that it could have. i think that a lot comes down to whether you're basically an optimist or a pessimist.
10:20 am
critics of barack obama are generally pessimistic. they tend to see authoritarianism is on the march. the crucial divide between them and obama, i think obama is basically an optimist. i think he basically believes economic forces, forces of globalization will ultimately make a regime like putin not be able to sustain itself forever and certainly not be on the march. >> i think peter's analysis is absolutely right and i'm a pessimist. quite frankly part of the problem that we have with putin is that just as now we're talking about nemtsov, six years ago or a few years talking about someone else so many opponents of the regime who met mysterious ends. that was time and again we regretted the murders, wondered about the motives of the murders. then swept under the carpet for the sake of pragmatic relationship with russia. so these killings continue. i don't know who killed boris nemtsov but it's just the case a lot of his political opponents come to untimely ends.
10:21 am
i think what's happening with britain, with inquiry of murder of alexander lipvinenko. a starting point historical accountability for what's happening in modern russia. i think russians might be paying attention. as they start paying attention they will realize their enemy not in the west, their enemy in the kremlin. >> there's actually good news in this story. not obviously about nemtsov. that's terrible. we don't know who did it. certainly somebody friendly to putin. with that story obscured, was that demonstration that nemtsov was planning to attend, that became a memorial for him, what that shows you is that even at a time when putin is supposed to be at an all-time high when he's supposed to have support because of the war in ukraine and crimea he's once again actually facing significant demonstrations at home. that's what he's terribly scared of. >> can i just ask a question. do you think we are now in a
10:22 am
situation with russia where russia is not the soviet union, so it's not really a cold war, but relationship between russia and the united states particularly in the west is just going to be adversarial? >> i think we're in for a bad spell and it's not just putin. i argue in my book russia is a country in serious decline. it's a one-crop economy, which has a tibl terrible demographic problem. fewer and fewer russians. it's has a health problem. average russian male dies at age 64, a decade earlier than other developed countries. with such rampant corruption, any attempt to reform it is blocked. this is a picture of a society in deep decline. the danger is that declining societies are often more dangerous than rising ones. if you ask me which is more dangerous, russia or china, i worry more about russia.
10:23 am
remember 100 years ago in the great war, as it was called it was austria/hungary was the only major power that really wanted war. and that's because austria and hungary were in decline. >> on that sober note, thank you very much. up next, there's an autocrat perhaps even more combative than putin and he's right in the united states' own backyard. we will tell you who and why when we come back. in new york state, we're reinventing how we do business so businesses can reinvent the world. from pharmaceuticals to 3d prototyping,

10:27 am
now for our "what in the world" segment. an autocratic strong man has gotten nasty with washington in recent weeks. he announced u.s. embassy staff in his country must be cut back by over 80%. he's banned some current and former u.s. officials, george bush, dick cheney among them from entering his nation. he's even said that he's had some americans arrested on suspicion of plotting a coup. no, we're not talking about vladimir putin. it's someone much closer to home. nicolas maduro. the president of venezuela. this week the president went further revealing an audio
10:28 am
recording that maduro says links an american citizen to a plot to overthrow him. he wants this american ics extradited. the u.s. has mocked such allegations as baseless. why is he doing this? simple. he's collapsing and wants someone to blame or divert attention towards. venezuela's economy is in shambles. its inflation rate is now close to 70%. higher than any other country in the world, by far, according to barclays. the bank says the country's debt is even riskier than greek debt. the imf predicts the economy will plunge by 7% this year. supermarket shelves are empty. hospitals lack basic supplies. the terrible economic policies of maduro and his mentor the late president hugo chavez have taken their toll. barclays points to measures such
10:29 am
as nationalizing private industries and an inefficient exchange rate policy as being the culprits. the economy was already in bad shape last year and then oil prices plummeted making things much worse for this oil-centered economy. we are witnessing the end of chavismo. the populist social agenda of the late president hugo chavez. the carnegie endowment for international peace notes chavez definitely wove together a narrative of democracy with elements of authoritarianism creating a post modern autocracy that looked democratic but was anything but. he says elections are rigged the government controls the judiciary and runs the national assembly without checks or balances. when chavez was in power, his charisma and political being aacumen
10:30 am
along with high oil prices filled government coffers and made him popular. but maduro doesn't come close to his predecessor. his approval rating has fallen to 22% according to that analysis. so how will this play out. parliamentary elections are supposed to take place this year. but it the not believed it will happen unless the ruling party knows it will win. they predict potential riots and food shortages and maduro could be forced out of power by rifle chavez supporters. the american enterprise institute has a more dire prediction, civil war. the government is polarizing, he says, and it is not embarrassed to use violence. we reached out to the maduro government for comment but we did not get a response. venezuela may be the worst example of a phenomenon we are likely to see more of, trouble in oil-rich countries. if oil prices stay low, many
10:31 am
regimes that have built their legitimacy on general subsidies and a well-paid apparatus of control might find themselves facing severe challenges. alas, in the short-term, this might not produce regime change in democracy so much as crackdowns repression and chaos, which is what we are seeing in venezuela today. . next on "gps," prepare to have your vision of the world turned upside down. if you think the world looks grim and scary these days, my guests will give you what they say are the real facts about how well the world is doing, really. it's not likely to go away on its own. so let's do something about it. premarin vaginal cream can help it provides estrogens to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable. premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderate-to-severe painful intercourse caused by these changes. don't use it if you've had unusual bleeding breast or uterine cancer blood clots,

we normally save the quiz portion of the show until the end but i wanted to give you a pop quiz right now. the question is this. there are about 2 billion children in the world today. in 85 years, in the year 2100, will there be 4 billion children, 3 billion children, or 2 billion children? the same number of children that are there today. my next guest hans rosling is a professor at the karolinsk institute in sweden. he's known around the world for his dazzling presentations about the world. from health, which is his specialty, to demographics, to education, to money. i caught his talk at davos where he asked that same question about how many children there would be in 2100. only 26% of the world's ceos and political leaders got the right answer.
10:36 am
the same question was asked to a random group off chimpanzees and 33 rs of the apes got it right. yes, chimps might be smarter than davos attendees. so what is the right answer? professor rosling will tell you in a minute. welcome backing to the show. >> thank you very much. >> so you have started a project called the ignorance project. why? >> we were teaching about the world and i became sort of famous. and then they said let's check if people got it. so we started to use web-based survey companies which we partner with to see what do people know. and it turns out that they are not aware of some of the most amazing strides that have taken place, some of the amazing good news. what do we know about poverty, for example? >> we have the question asked here. in the last 20 years, did the percentage of people living in extreme poverty, did that almost double, remain the same, or did it half? really different alternatives. show you here the results from
10:37 am
sweden and u.s. the fact is the right answer it halved. but only 23% in sweden and 5% in u.s. got it right. >> when we look at vaccines, another thing that's controversial in this country these days. huge evidence it's had enormous positive effects around the world. what do we know? >> this is the question we put. how many of the world's 1-year-old kids have got measle vaccines? measle is that well established vaccine that is so important. is it 2 out of 10 5 out of 10 or 8 out of 10. and this is how they answered in sweden and in u.s. the fact is that 8 out of 10 children in the whole world get these vxaccines. >> what is the biggest change in europe. you study all this stuff. if you were to say to somebody the most important change i notice that is taking place in
10:38 am
the world today is what? >> i think what follows education, what follows girls, what follows getting out of poverty, it is the size of families. europe decreased the size of families. from 1800 it was six, it was five and it came down today below replacement level. even with immigration population is decreasing in europe. in america it came down slightly later. and there was a baby boom after the second world war, but it's down to two now. in asia, which was such a worry, people label it population bomb but also a nasty expression. this is what you could see from asia. it was indeed high all the way into the 1970s and it dropped back down. it's two today. in half of india, it is two children or less. africa is something happening? yes, indeed, it is, 4.5 today. we know that more or less this will happen into the future. we don't know how fast africa will come down. we don't know at this level. but this is a big change from lots of children, which many died, to few children, which almost all survived.
10:39 am
>> now we have the map of the world with the populations of the world. we talked in the past about the world being characterized not by the decline of america but the rise of everyone else. show us that picture. >> what is happening in the world is that the population stops increasing in europe. today we have 1 billion in europe. it's almost stopped in the americas from south and north, 1 billion. in africa today, 1 billion and in asia, 4 billion. what will happen. up to mid sent united nations population division tells us no more europe almost the same in america, but there will be 1 billion more in asia. and with that the fast population growth in asia, can increase a little, can even start to decrease. by mid century, 1 billion more in africa. so africa will double. >> what happens at the end of the century. >> no more in america, no more in europe, no more in asia but most probably two more in
10:40 am
africa. >> africa's population doubles in size. >> doubles twice. maybe if africa is very successful, three and a half. but there will be twice as many people in africa as in the americas and europe together. look, if i take north america and west european, 1 billion. this is east europe, this is latin america. you have less than 10% of the world population here in the old west. you have 80% of the population in asia and africa. >> now let's tell people the answer to the question. >> this is the question you put, less than 1 billion when i was born, 2 billion at the turn of the century. which one of these is right. >> how many children will there be -- 2 billion, 3 billion, or 4 billion. there are currently 2 billion. the answer is -- 2 billion. it may increase a little. it may even decrease. but the number increase in africa but decrease in asia and europe. when you asked the swedes, they answered like this.
10:41 am
in u.s. they answered like this. can you see -- >> 11% swedes got it right, only 7% u.s. government. >> i went to the zoo and i asked the chimps, as you said. they get 33%. . >> i went to the zoo and i asked the chimps, as you said. they get 33%. >> it's random. >> these people answer according to preconceived ideas, how things were back then. >> so this is an important point. to get an answer that is worse than random means you're not ignorant. you have prejudices. >> prejudices, you're not upgrading. you learn something in school or in university like 20, 30 years ago, the problem is that the kids still learn that in school. they learn how the world was when their teachers graduate. we really have to start getting macronumbers right. the world has changed now. africa is also changing. when this evens out, we'll be around 10, 11 billion. that's what we have to feed in the world and we can do it. >> that's why you have the
10:42 am
ignorance project, to make people aware of the realities of the world. >> because you can't discuss the future if you don't even know the present. >> hans rosling, pleasure to have you on. thank you. next on "gps," yet another reason to be more optimistic about the world we live in. technology now puts you in charge of your destiny and makes your voice heard in ways unimaginable just 20 years ago. we're going to tell you how you can succeed and profit through all these changes. my guests will explain.
10:44 am
i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24, a circadian rhythm disorder that affects up to 70 percent of people who are totally blind. talk to your doctor about your symptoms and learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. don't let non-24 get in the way of your pursuit of happiness. two weeks later. look, credit karma-- are you talking to websites again? this website says "free credit scores." oh, credit karma! yeah it's actually free. look, you don't have to put in your credit card information. whew! credit karma. really. free.
10:46 am
wasn't cutting it. so i switched us from u-verse to xfinity. they have the fastest, most reliable internet. which is perfect for me, because i think everything should just work. works? works. works! works? works. works. if you're still depressed about the world we live in, hopefully my next two guests will change that. peter diamondis is american entrepreneur, perhaps best known as founder and chairman of the xprize which offers big cash payouts for breakthrough scientific developments that will help humanity. stephen kotler is author and
10:47 am
journalist. they've just published their second book together called "bold. how to go big and impact the world." are you ready to be more optimistic? listen in. peter diamondis, stephen kotler, pleasure to have you on. let's first talk about the bigger issue, which is one of the things you guys have been campaigning to make us all understand, that we are not living in scary, dark times but in times of incredible opportunity and abundance. what is the most powerful evidence for that? >> the evidence is 1,000 years ago if you wanted to affect a country or region, you had to be the king or the queen to do anything. 100 years ago, you would be the industrialist, robber barron. today any of us have access to the technology that only governments had 20, 30 years ago. access to crowd funding. someone who he a driven, passionate can actually make a difference, go and start a company that can positively impact the lives of millions, eventually billions of people.
10:48 am
>> in a sense, that's really to me the most remarkable, hopeful sign that there are so many people whose potential is still untapped, who have this talent that is not used in any way, people in india, china, africa. >> so that's absolutely right. and we're living in a time where the number of people connected online back in 2010 was about 1.8 billion. over the next five years we're going up to 5 to potentially 7 billion people connected around the world. so there's 3 billion new minds entering the global economy. these are 3 billion minds not coming online like we did back in the mid-'90s, they are coming online with access to the world's information on google, amazon web services with cloud computing, cloud printing. that's an exciting time to be alive. the number of people solving problems i don't want to have to depend on the government or
10:49 am
large corporations. if i care about something, i have the tools to solve it create a business and really drive a world of abundance. >> so when people think about this issue of innovation and the future, there is a school of thought that says, you know what, this all sounds good. these people like the two of you talk about as a gee-whiz quality to it. if you would look at productivity, the way in which things improved, give me 1880s or 1890s any day when you have electricity and indoor plumbing and hygiene, and those are much more important than twitter or an app. >> they may be much more important than twitter and app at that foundational level of taking care of your basic needs, right? but in terms of take it one step farther, the twitter and the app kind of democratizes the
10:50 am
power for anybody to make a living, a platform. anybody can come in and develop on that. it opens up an entire world of entrepreneurial possibilities that wasn't available back in the 1880s. in 1880s everybody had to be a generalist. >> one of the things you talk about in this book is how to take advantage of this world of abundance. one of the things, technologies that will do it. you talk about things that democratize, things that dematerialize, take away the money. you think about craigslist or wikipedia. right? a lot of technologists out there are looking with someone to work with. the second part of the book is about mindset. about how do the most
10:51 am
extraordinary entrepreneur is larry page elon musk richard branson, jeff what are the ways that you can think at scale. and then the final part of the book is the realization that we have something like crowd funding. 15 billion$15 billion will go to crowd building. >> so the key to many of these people is thinking at scale, that ability to think, you know of solving a huge problem, and building a huge company, is that different from just being an entrepreneur once to start a dry-cleaning business. >> one of the things i have noticed in interviewing all the entrepreneurs, there doesn't seem to be that much input, how
10:52 am
wart hard you're going to work. everything else is going to be basically the same. >> one of the realizations is that the world's biggest problems are the world's biggest business opportunities. if you want to become a billionaire, help a billion people. that level of scale used the to be only with ge or coca-cola. today an entrepreneur using this hyper technical word they can upload to a crowd and make themselves available to a billion people. that is fundamentally availability like it wasn't so years ago. stop building photo sharing apps and part taking on the world's big biggest problems and provide a positive impact for the world. >> next on gps, the military
