[ doorbell rings ] par-tay! xfinity watchathon week starts april 3. get unlimited access to all of netflix and more, free with xfinity on demand. this is "gps" global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria. we begin today's show with russia's alleged intervention in america's presidential election. is the congressional investigation on this tainted? does america need a 9/11 type bipartisan commission? we'll ask that commission's

chairman, tom cain. and the ceo of one of the world's biggest companies, g.e. he is an adviser to trump and has publicly dissented with some of the president's policies. i will ask him what he makes of the trump administration and the economy. also, brittain officially triggered brexit this week amidst fears of a populus sweep of europe but the center seems to be fighting back. we'll explain. finally, as president trump rolls back environmental regulations, a novel idea from other corners on how to save our planet. give nature the same legal status as human beings. but first here's my take. the recent republican debacle on health care could prove to be an opportunity. you see, it's highlighted yet again the complexity of america's medical system which continues to be by far the most

expensive and inefficient in the advanced world. but donald trump could actually use the legislatetive collapse to fix health care if he went back to basics and to his core convictions on the topic which are surprisingly intelligent and consistent clearly. there is an understandable impulse on the right to assume that health care would work more efficiently if it were a free market or a freer market. it's true for most goods and services, but in 1963 the economist kenneth arrol who later won a nobel prize offered a simpler explanation why markets would not work well in this area. he argued there was a huge mismatch of power and information between the buyer and the seller. if a salesman tells you to buy a particular television, you can easily choose another or just walk away. if a doctor insists that you need a medicine or a procedure, you are far less likely to reject that advice.

every advanced economy in the world has implicitly acknowledged this argument because they have all adopted some version of a state directed system for health care. consider the 16 countries that rank higher than the united states on the conservative her heritage foundation. they all have guided operations or systems. hong kong, often considered the most unregulated free market in the world has a british style government-run system. swits is switzerland has a system like the united states but found that to make it work it had to introduce a mandate like obamacare. i'm particularly struck by the experience of taiwan which canvassed the world for the best ideas before creating its system. it chose medicare for all, a single government payer with multiple private providers. the results are a--

astonishing. it pays 7% of its gdp compared to 18% in the u.s. i asked an economist who helped device taiwan's model what lessons they took from the united states. >> you can learn whatnot to do from united states versus what to do. >> americans often assume that despite its costs american health care provides better services than others. we often hear about the waiting time for care in other countries, but according to the commonwealth fund among industrialized countries, the u.s. is in the middle of the pack for wait times behind even the united kingdom. trump has now taken up the call to repeal obamacare but until recently health care was actually one of the rare public policy issues on which trump had spoken out consistently for 20 years. in his 2015 book, the america we deserve, here's what he said.

i am a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. we should not hear so many stories of families ruined by health care expenses. we must have universal health care. we need as a nation to re-examine the single payer plan as many individual states are doing. trump was right on this issue for much of his life. he has recently caved to special interests and ideology unlured by facts. he should simply return to his convictions, reach out to the democrats and he would help america solve its health care crisis. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my washington post column this week and let's get started. ♪ ♪ this week the senate intelligence committee held a hearing on russian meddling in the u.s. presidential elections. the house of representatives own

investigation is surrounded by allegations of partisanship, secret deals and preferential treatment and there have been calls for committee chair devin nunez to recuse himself including from members of his own party. does the nation need a 9/11 type independent bipartisan investigation into these matters. joining me now is the chair of that 9/11 commission, former new jersey governor tom kane. tom, what's your simple answer to the question? do we now need a 9/11 style commission? >> we may need it but i don't think we ought to do it yet because the best way to do it, the way we set it up with the government is to do it through congress. if congress can do it, they ought to do it. the kind of independent investigation you're talking about is time kconsuming, hard o set up. to simply get security clearances for the commission

could take five weeks, six weeks, five months sometimes depending how difficult it is. it's not good for the country to have the administration under a cloud like this. they have important things to do that we've got to negotiate with russia. how can they negotiate with russia when this kind of af cloud is happening? >> how can you get rid of the cloud? >> i think you have very important bipartisan investigati investigation. rightly so, it should be done by the congress. i would say it ought to be bipartisan, bicameral. >> can the house investigate? do you think it's tainted now with what you know? >> yes. >> it's tainted. >> it's very, very hard to do it now because people have serious questions about its impartiality at this and the impartiality at this of this chairman. you can't operate like that. they have to maintain the confidence of the american people throughout the investigation. >> so should nunez recuse himself or resign? >> well, i think that's obviously up to him and up to

the house speaker. to me, i would -- i don't want to see three investigations. i don't want to see the fbi investigation, a senate investigation and a house investigation calling in the same people, making different conclusions possibly. partisan, not partisan. that's not in the interest of the american people. there should be one investigation. >> you would call for a joint committee? >> yes. >> house and senate? >> yes. let the fbi report to them. >> you don't want the fbi investigating this? >> well, i think the fbi should be investigating it but they report to the justice department. that's a little strange. director comey, i've got full confidence in him. i know him, i like him, i think he's a good guy but some people don't on both sides of the aisle. so i think you need to bring this altogether. this is such an important investigation. the american people have to have confidence in it. the results have got to be clear. if the russians are involved, we have to know about it. we have to know what we have to

do to stop it from ever happening again. this needs to be a joint investigation and it ought to be open and bipartisan. >> so you don't -- you don't agree with those who say this is much ado about nothing? you think the pieces of evidence we have are enough to suggest we need to figure this out? >> yes. i think we have to figure it out. look, there's tons of smoke. we don't know how much fire there is, but we know there's a lot of smoke. you can't just allow that to cloud this administration for the next four years. >> what is the path forward here? because somebody has to produce the kind of -- the kind of initiative your good friend -- >> i think the senate investigation is starting off the right track. the house has sort of gotten off track. i think the president could participate here. a number of the president's people said, i'll testify. do anything else you want.

that's fine. more than that i think the president should be part of that. the president should go along with the investigation. if it's right, commend the investigation, be bound by whatever the outcomes are and to do that he's got to be ensured they're going to be fair and they're going to be bipartisan. that assurance has got to be made. we had that on the 9/11 commission. some people doubted us and some people doubted us all the way through. as we were going along we got the confidence of the american people, confidence of the president and we were able to produce a report that all three bought into. that's what's got to be done here. >> one of the aspects of the 9/11 commission that seemed to me very important is it shed light on a whole range of topics, not just maybe the specific one of why 9/11 happened. it shed light on all kinds of ancillary topics. do you imagine this could shed light of all of this issue on cyber war hacking, foreign

governments interfering, how we should think about that? >> it would be enormously helpful if it did. we haven't gotten a handle on cyber yet. since then when i've talked to the chiefs of intelligence agencies in the obama administration, every one of them said number one is the cyber threat. that's the thing we should be worrying about the most. and so if that's true, we've got to do much more about it than we're doing. >> tom kane, pleasure to have you on. >> thank you. next on "gps," one of america's top ceos. vice president to obama. g.e.'s ceo how america will fare under "the art of the deal" president. ♪

according to "fortune," g.e. is the 11th biggest company in america, the 26th biggest in the world. it is a company with a long history going all the way back to 1878. it got its start with thomas edison and light bulbs. it now makes everything from your refrigerator to the engines on the jet that flew you on your last vacation. it is deeply invested in health care, power, transportation and much more. g.e.'s long time chairman and ceo jeffrey immelt was a job czar for president obama and he's working with president trump. >> glad to have you on. >> good to see you again. >> what do you make of the american economy right now? there's a wonderful article which points out that all the soft data, meaning consumer confidence, the stock market has been booming since president trump was elected, but all the hard data, the actual numbers

for business orders and the like are flat and the implication of the article is there's no fundamental reason for this boom in confidence in the stock market and that eventually it's all going to come down. >> so, fareed, what i would say is i still think the u.s. economy is on a steady economic growth pattern, right? it's clearly not up 20% since last november, but it continues to grind forward at about a 2% gdp path. we see that. we feel that. i think as importantly, for the first time since the global financial crisis there are more economies around the world doing better. so europe is marginally better, china's better, so i don't think it's just the u.s., i think the global economy is slightly better. when you go to wall street it's ultimately going to be proven out in earnings of companies and cash flow more so than, you

know, speculation of which law is going to get passed. >> that's not up 20% in three months? >> exactly. >> do you think president trump's economic policies are going to be a big boost for the economy? >> here's what i think. i think if you look at tax reform, regulatory reform, infrastructure, those three things, i think those were known to president clinton, president bush, president obama as things that the u.s. had to do. 40-year-old tax code, we're not getting the re-investment back in the economy as we should. i think the regulatory opinion on this went too far and the country needs infrastructure. you do those three things, i think the economy is going to do better. >> you have done something unusual in the last couple of months though. you have twice to your employees come out essentially in opposition to something the administration did, on the travel ban you expressed concerns and on climate change policies you expressed concerns in a memo where you essentially

disagreed with the trump administration, talked about how crucial it was that the u.s. continued to be a world leader on climate change. why did you feel the need to do this? >> fareed, i think by and large ceos should keep their head down and do their work. in many ways, i agree exactly with what president trump is doing, but we also are stewards for companies, we're a steward for brands, we're stewards for people. on the travel ban, look, we have a lot of people that live in the middle east. we have a lot of people that travel. it's my duty to stand up for them. clearly we want the country to be safe, but it's also my duty to kind of stand up on their behalf. on climate, look, for 12 years we've been investing in an initiative called eco imagination which has talked about driving energy efficiency in everything we do, and we've been doing it consistently. we've booked over $300 billion in revenue in that initiative. i think it's insincere to not

stand up for those things that you believe in. so i don't think it's something we should do every day, but i do think we're also stewards of our companies. we're representatives of the people that work with us, and i think we're cowards if we don't take a position occasionally on those things that are really consistent with what our mission is and where our people stand. >> you're a truly global company. >> uh-huh. >> do you worry about, for example, the pretty poisonous situation between the trump administration and mexico right now, potentially a tariff war between the united states and china? president trump has talked about some kind of a border adjustment tax. he's talked about tariffs against chinese goods. what do you think? >> so, two different stories. i would say on the case of -- i don't agree with the rhetoric around mexico. really mexican -- the mexican country has been a good partner. it's been a good place to do business. i agree with keeping our company safe, but i hate to cast an entire country in a light.

i also don't agree with things like walls. i don't think they're in the end really functional and will work. that being said, really i think it's natural to want to renegotiate something like nafta after 25 years. it's not the same world that it was 25 years ago, and i think the president has every right to say, this relationship should be restructured. you know, there's just no case where mexico and the u.s. aren't going to end up being friendly. we're neighbors. we almost have to be, right? i worry more about china. my encouragement is more about china. it is really important for the u.s. and china to have a very strong bilateral relationship. it doesn't mean we have to agree on everything but i think there has to be a relationship that goes, you coudo this, we'll do that. it has to be bilateral. i think the chinese can do it. i think president trump can do it. >> one of the things president trump has talked about is he doesn't like american companies going and making stuff in

foreign countries where labor is cheaper and you've pointed out that for g.e. as a global company, you have to make stuff close to the places you're selling it. so, i mean, isn't that a problem? if you're not going to be able to make stuff in china zsh. >> -- >> so we're running the plate, fareed. we're a $22 billion plus exporter. we're a $6 billion importer. i think we kind of run the best u.s. play. now moving stuff out of the united states just purely for wage arbitrage, that's 1980s. that's the old global playbook. unfortunately people in the u.s. get confused between globalization and outsourcing. to me globalization is we have 70% market share of jet engines in china. we have 30 or 40% market share on health care in china. that's good for this country. that to me is good for the country. if we have to make things in

other places to sell them other places, i view that as also creating jobs here and the good part about globalization. if you make something someplace else to ship it here, then, you know, there's going to be a discussion around what do we do about border adjustability, taxes, that type of thing. i get that. i think that defines a certain set of companies but that doesn't define the modern global companies who have built these extended enterprises not for the purpose of shipping things back here but for the purposes of winning there. and that, i think, is not being a bad citizen. i think that's being a good citizen of our country. our people aren't afraid to compete in china and they're winning there. >> next on "gps," ge and the technological storm that is upon us all. this is baxter, one of the newest employees at g.e. these days. the company has big digital dreams, but what will happen to

really means is how you become a better industrial company. so one of the things that's happened around technology is the advent of sensors and controls that take continuous data off industrial products. you can now model that data for the purposes of productivity and it's explosive. it is completely redefining what it means to be an industrial company. in other words, you can track a jet engine, you can monitor its performance. you can treat it as a unit of one. you know when it needs to be repaired. >> you can predict -- >> you can predict when it needs it and you can do the same thing for m.r. scanners, gas turbines, everything. you run your business differently. you run your install base differently. when we started maybe six or seven years ago i didn't really know where this was going to go. now i can tell you, fareed, this is a huge idea. this is a great idea. now the question is are we good enough to do it. that's a different set of challenges right now, and that's what really it's all about.

how do we capture this vast new market? >> so just to help our viewers understand, this is how the head of a big software company explained it to me. used to be you made the elevators. you made big money in that and now you sell elevators but you have computers and sensors that will track exactly when each elevator stops, starts, breaks down. >> with the human flow, what the human flow is. >> customized service and you make your money on the service contracts that are built on big data rather than the -- >> you described it -- you should come to work for g.e. that's exactly -- that's exactly the world. and, you know, we've had the consumer internet as defined by, let's say, amazon. we've had the enterprise internet as defined by microsoft or google. now the next phase is the industrial internet. it's going to be a multihundred billion dollar industry. this is wherein dus streel

companies can play. we know industrial aviation better. we've been an investor for six or seven years, big investor. last year we invested 4 or $5 billion zblus this and we're seeing the returns. it really is changing the company. >> and when people hear all this now, especially after this last year, they think to themselves, this sounds really great but what happens to that steel worker? what happens to the guy that makes the turbines? are you describing a world in which, you know, software and robotics make these factories much more productive, much more high tech but there are many fewer people there? >> i think the next space that we go through is one with what i would call the smart worker. you know, so, in other words, the first phase of the digital industrial is going to make the service worker smarter. it's going to make the factory worker smarter. it's going to make the radiologist smarter. let's take a field service

person. the real value that they can bring is they fix something right the first time. frequently they have to go back and repair it because they don't have all the knowledge right there. a factory worker for g.e. making $30 plus per hour, they're as adept with a welding machine as they are with a computer. that's how you create high value jobs. we're getting lost. our productivity hasn't been very good. the way you create high value jobs is you make your workers more productive. the first phase will make current workers more pro duct tiff. that's a good thing. now 20 years from now are we robots here talking to each other on a sunday morning? i'm not that smart, to be honest with you. i think the first incremental step is to make the existing workers better, smarter, more competitive. that's what's happening inside our company. >> you think broadly on these issues and you're very close to the world of the steel worker, auto parts.

you've seen the anger and anxiety in ohio and michigan and pennsylvania. what do you think the answer is? is there a way to re-industrialize the upper midwest or is that a world that's gone away? >> i think there's a way to create more manufacturing jobs in the country. i don't know exactly where it is. and the reason why they're good jobs is, look, if somebody is working for g.e. and they're making 25, 30 bucks an hour and, let's say, they lost that job because the markets are terrible, things like that. they don't go to another job down the street that pays them the same amount. they go to a job that pays $15 an hour and that's why people are so angry. i stand back, fareed, and say, let's look at germany. germany has high wages, 24% of that you are labor is manufacturing, 9% in the u.s. what do they do? great training. great infrastructure. they have an export bank. they have a tax policy that encourages it. the banks have to lend money to

small business, right? >> you have a highly intrusive government that both demands certain things of industry and pays for it. during the recession the german government paid for layoff workers. >> the reason why i raise the case is that we all want to migrate right away to mexico and china when we can look in the mirror a see another country that actually has won, is winning in this regard. now we have 5% of the people in the world in the u.s., 25% of the global economy. we're not going to sustain that unless we know how to make things here and sell them every place in the world, and that's where the most valuable manufacturing jobs are created. >> jeff immelt, pleasure to have you on. >> great. thanks, fareed. good to be with you. when we come back, this was supposed to be europe's patriotic spring during which a right wing populous party would win election after election. spring has sprung but where are

the populus wins since the brexit? when we come back, a return to the center.

now for our what in the world segment. last week theresa may told parliament that she was invoking article 50 setting brexit into motion. >> this is an historic moment from which there can be no turning back. brittain is leaving the european union. we are going to make our own decisions and our own laws. >> the brexit vote of june 2016 and donald trump's election a few months later are seen as a rising tide of populism that threatened the liberal international order, an order that has characterized the western world since 1945. but peter kelner asks if these two seminole events might actually represent the peak of right wing populism.

they suggest that the past few months show that the pendulum is swinging away from the right and back towards the center. populist policies are starting to lose their appeal in the face of real world governing. he says in the battle between reality and populism, reality is now winning. so has populism peaked since brexit and trump's election? it's worth reviewing what has taken place since those events. in the u.s. trump has suffered humiliating defeats on several of his signature campaign promises and he has seen his approval rating drop to 36%. it's now lower than any new president in modern history. meanwhile, in europe people are veering away from right wing populism. the radical right wing uk independence party lost its only member when he quit the party. the ukip's leader was unseated.

the party is in big trouble with membership down 17%. his xenophobic anti-e.u. message wassioned by t ioshunned. he won the presidential election with 33% of the vote while the man who models himself after president trump came in a distant fourth place with just 11% of the popular vote. and in frans centrist presidential candidate emanuel marcron is expected to defeat maureen le pen. french polls tell us macron's

pro e.u., free market nationalist ideology poses the most traction amongst the french. in germany, angela merkel's conservative party is in a neck in neck race with the center left democrats with each getting a little over 30% in recent polls. the far right anti-immigrant alternative for germany party is down 7 percentage points making the party almost irrelevant. as he points out in his essay, it might be too early to tell if populism has peaked. any one of these right wing parties or personalities could suddenly have a strong showing in an election, but the lessening popularity of populism in the united states and europe could also mean that the challenge to liberal democracy has, in fact, exposed its resilience. the center is holding. up next, an incredible inside look at what six years of civil war has done to syria and her people. we have an eye witness.

defeating isis. president trump has said since the campaign it would be his

number one foreign policy goal, and it's a promise he actually seems to be sticking to, but it is no easy task as the bloody fight for mosul continues in iraq, across the border in syria things are even more complicated because of the country's civil war, a war that just marked its sixth anniversary. our sister network hbo has a terrific documentary "cries from syria" that explores that war and its devastating effects. >> we demonstrated holding roses and he called us terrorists. >> one of the people in the film joins me as well as the film's producer. so one of the things that we hear a lot about in syria is isis, of course, and assad says that he must -- we must support him, the world should support him because he's fighting isis. the russian government says that it supports assad because it wants to make sure that isis is

destroyed. of course, now the president of the united states has often said that he thought it was worth supporting russia, maybe even supporting assad, hand syria over to assad because he will defeat isis. now you actually witnessed in aleppo what was meant to be a battle where the assad regime was fighting isis. let's watch the clip and then you tell me more about this. >> so i guess the simple question is, you really did not

see the assad regime ever fight isis? >> never. like -- unless there is a drama or a play or a game played between both parties to convince not us syrians because they don't care for us but to play a game to convince the international community that, hey, guys, we're fighting isis. in aleppo, aleppo city, it was completely governed by the civilians and then the free syrian army fighting there, they are the -- what they call the moderates, but they are the free syrian army. >> and they're certainly not isis. >> no isis, no al nusra there. and the regime and the russians, they targeted aleppo extremely violently, heavily on a daily basis to eradicate all of aleppo, and they did. they demolished the whole city and then they pushed 500,000 people outside the town. >> and where is isis in this?

>> isis is in raqqah and it has no presence in aleppo. they pushed all the civilians outside of the town and then they took -- like they paraded in front of the city that we liberated aleppo from isis. >> the russian airstrikes, there are reports that they hit hospitals, orphanages, is that true? >> schools. yes. they targeted only schools, hospitals and the main service delivery, like bakeries, hospitals, schools and -- and by doing this they were making sure that if somebody is injured, there's no hospital to go and kids, if there are no schools, then they only resort either to violence or they go seek isis or radicalism, i mean, to continue their life because, i mean, the easiest way to take these kids is by brainwashing them and taking them to jihad did jiejih

>> do you think this fear can be healed? >> i think at the time it can be healed, but even the fear that assad brings on them, fear by besieging town and striking them with missiles, fear by bringing hunger and starvation on these kids, fear by destroying the schools with a huge amount of russian missiles, fear that it's isis or chemical weapon. they steal. they steal having their dignity standing on their feet and fighting that is striking element for me, that they believe in what they start in 2011 and they continue up until this day. >> you've seen so much. six, seven years ago did you ever think you would see so much bloodshed in your own family, your own friends? >> never. >> do you think you can get past

it? can you imagine coming back together as a country? >> yes. >> with all this death? >> yes. yes. it's so possible because everyone has suffered but no one is going to return back, i mean, and reconcile if assad stays. i never accept this. all my friends never accept this. and the majority of the syrians never accept assad's stay in power because he is the number one accused of devastating the nation. he's the one who pushed me out of my country. he is the one who pushed me out of home. he is the one who took my brother from whohome home. he's the one who killed my friends in the streets and he's the one who enjailed all of my friends to silence them and we don't know whether they are alive or dead. it's five years now. five years imagine that you're living in the hope that one day you might meet these people that in two months we discovered that one of our dear friends was

killed in prison under torture. he was the hope for everyone for us. we were waiting for him desperately to be out of the jail. but we failed them in these five years because the whole universe failed us and they died alone in the cells under torture. so i'll never accept assad to stay in power and no one is going to accept assad to stay in power unless those who are supporting assad regime and they are afraid they're going to lose their lives, the krcriminals wh supported assad in killing us. >> thank you. next on "gps" two nations in recent weeks have declared that rivers are people. what? i'll explain. y286oy ywty

today marks 100 years since woodrow wilson asked congress to declare war on germany saying, quote, the world must be made safe for democracy. it brings me to my question of the week. what was the last country that congress formally declared war on? japan, romania, north vietnam or iraq? stay tuned and we'll tell you the correct answer. this week's book of the week is very short but very profound. "on tyranny" by timothy snyder. he's spent his life studying the dictatorships of the country. he looks around the world seeing warning signs that remind him of the 1920s and '30s when this caused the collapse of western

democracies. he provides 20 lessons from the 20th century to prevent history from repeating itself. now for the last look. president trump rolled out a new executive order this week to roll back obama era rules that come bad pollution and climate change. this comes after a previous order that could strip regulations protecting smaller rivers and streams. at the same time i read about two other nations that are actively trying to protect their own waterways but in unusual ways. let me explain. the river in the north island of new zealand was unusually granted an unusual status, that of a human being. that's right, the government declared the river, one of the indigenous rivers that people consider sacred would be given the same rights, duties and liabilities of a legal person. 7,000 miles away this week two more rivers received a similar distinction. the ghangis river and the

yemenar river the status of living human entities. the court said the rivers which are often tainted with sewage and pollution are central to many indians' spiritual and mental health. it was given parents to protect it. of course, simply declaring these water bodies to have the same rights as human bodies is one step. the difficult task of cleaning and maintaining these spiritually significant rivers will still be up to governments, businesses and of course us two-legged homosapiens. the correct answer is b. in june of 1942 the senate unanimously approved three separate resolutions declaring war with bulgaria, hungary, and finally romania. all three resolutions said war had been thrust upon the united states by those countries. throughout history congress has officially declared war just 11

times but also agreed to additional resolutions authorizing the use of military force. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. i'm brian stelter and it's time for "reliable sources." this is our weekly look at the story behind the story, how the media works, how the news gets made. in this hour how a narrative gets made. another tough week for president trump. so what does he do? reignites his war against the news media. speaking of that, today has been declared international fact checking day so does the white house get it mostly true or pants on fire grade for this week? the top editor of politifact is on. this weekend there's a new report about the fact that fox star bill o'reilly harassed them and the secret settlement payments that are being revealed. it's all included in this
