then a possible thaw in the frigid relations with north korea. president trump says he would be willing to talk to kim jong-un on the phone. but the question is, is that really a good idea? and what will he say? also, 2017, i think most of the world was happy to say farewell to it, but it was actually a very good year. not just for the 1%. the "new york times" will offer a refreshing dose of good news. >> the most important thing happening right now is not a trump tweet but it is this larger progress that's transforming the world. but first here's my take. the fire and fury over michael wolf's book has largely centered

on the power struggles within the white house but behind all of that lies an important political development. one that explains the real rift between donald trump and his former chief strategist, steve bannon. president trump seems to have abandoned populism. remember candidate trump, his signature issue was immigration on which he promised an unyielding hard-line including a border wall and mass deportations. it was brimming with populist measures with tough actions against china to a public works program. his economic plans focused on goodies for the middle class for a 35% tax cut for middle class families to deductions for child and elderly care. he called for severe restrictions on lobbying and term limits for members of congress. consider trump's final campaign ad. >> global power structure that's responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our

country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. >> flash forward to president trump today. there is no wall and his relation with china have been chummy. the main focus of his economic program has gone to return vast sums of known large corporations. in the early months of the trump administration, bannon must have watched with incorrected credulity, essentially handed over the reins of the government to paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. mcconnell is quoted as saying this president will sign whatever is put in front of him. where did trump's populism come from in the first place? the week to read is not wolf's gossipy confession from joshua green's highly intelligent "devil's bargain."

he points out trump had a mish mash of political views. he went on talk radio and realized it was not economics but social and cultural issues like immigration that got the crowds fired up. trump was indifferent to the idea of a wall, according to green. but campaign aide is saying when trump tried the idea out for the first time the place went nuts. an ink and trump adopted these issues far more than his competitors. he distinguished himself by taking on the most hard-line positions and thus winning over the gop base. i don't agree with many of steve bannon's proposal but he surely right in recognizing the populace fury that runs through

a large swath of the country. what wonders what will thiept as time passes and trump's voters noticed they ended up with something quite different than they had imagined. during the presidential transition bannon told wolf that the trump era would be like america in the 1930s with a massive public works program that would get blue collar workers back in shipyard, mills and mines. instead we appear to have a return to the 1920s, an era of unrestrained capitalism, a shrunken state. is this what the laid off steel worker in ohio voted for. for more go to cnn/fareed zakaria. let's get started. u.s. embassy officials have

been summoned by their host nations. they labelled the president's language racist. this came after president trump at a meeting in the white house labelled african nations as shitholes according to senator dick durbin who was there. that word is having deep impact. joining me to discuss are the former foreign secretary of the united kingdom, he now runs the international rescue committee and the executive director of the center for immigration studies. david, what is your reaction and what is your guess about how other countries, you know, you were foreign secretary. how will they react to this? >> obviously, the language that the president used has taken u.s. diplomacy into the gutter. and i think that on its own would have been enough to relief the summons that you're talking about.

botswana is asking is that us? there's a policy question too. this administration's policy in respect of refugees and migrants is leading a global race to the bottom. you have to look at the reductions in the number of refugees allowed to come to the u.s., the recent assaults on the position of the temporary protective status of elevator salvadorians being athleteened with deportation to the world's homicide capital in el salvador. it's the policy and the language coming together that give people the chills, frankly. feels not just a betrayal of american history but a really thorough going of sorts of america's reliances and role as a global leader. what demarcated the u.s. from russia and other competitors by the administration is that on a moral plane it set up a standard that others should emulate and that's being thrown away.

>> mark, when you look at the language, it feels to me like it's not just language. and i say this because i don't know, i suppose i probably come from one of the nation's that trump is talking about. i don't know where india falls on the shirt hole spectrum but it's brown and poor which seems to be the two main criteria and feels to me like a profound misunderstanding about america, about the american experiment that we think that those countries are screwed up because of the political and economic systems in those countries not because of the inferior genetic quality of the people. if the people come here to america, to the american system, they will thrive and prosper and, in fact, you look at people. nigeria is a pretty screwed up country but getting better. nigerians do fantastically particularly in the united states. you can go on and on.

isn't it more than just the language. at some level doesn't donald trump understand america and what america immigration has been all about? >> nigeria is a great example because why are nigerian immigrants in the united states doing well compared to say hondurans or somalias? because nigerian immigrants generally have been selected based on education and skill. they are coming here as foreign graduate students for instance and staying. so it's the selection filter really is what is you're seeing here. but the fact is, if you look at the outcomes of people, whether it's welfare use or income or radiational atta educational attainment for people from somalia or honduras it's not great. people who come with higher levels of human capital end up doing better. and so this is why the idea of

using a merit based system so that you don't decide, okay, you're from somalia, we don't let you in, you instead judge people based on the level of education and skill and what have you. that's what's likely to lead to much better outcomes in the long run for the u.n.. >> but, obviously, at some level it's a truism people who are more educated will do better than others. the boat people who came from indochina were not selected on the basis of some elaborate merit system and have done very well. indian-americans, some of whom came on kind of a merit system, many of whom came through the chain migration that trump denies have done well. the broader point to me it seems human talent is sprinkled equally throughout the globe. the idea that you want to avoid people who come from countries that are screwed up or countries where everybody is brown or black, it seems profound

misunderstanding what america is about. >> look, his comments -- let's understand, first of all. i don't think that politicians in other countries don't swear in private meetings as well. but the issue here is that we are -- the case people are making for not sending, for instance, these salvadorians or haitians back after their temporary status has expired the case they are making those countries are such bad places to live in that we cannot, must not return people. well isn't that basically just what the president said, that those countries are not, are terrible places to live. he just said it in a value gar kind of archie bunkerish way which is his idiom. but that's what advocates of increased refugee settlement and legalizing illegal immigrants essentially saying the same thing the president said only with different vocabulary.

>> is trump saying the same thing? >> no. there's two aspects to this. one is the choice of language and the derogatory nature of it. the second is the link to the people themselves. you're right to say talent is sprinkled more generally. there's another point that's important. people who have known persecution, oppression, poverty, the absence of freedom, when they get here my goodness do they value what america has to offer. we got a very difficult or big issue coming up. i would be interested in what mark would say about this. 200,000 all va -- elevator salvadorians documented to return. i think it's very important to recognize that america's position as a global melting pot, the place that does have rules, that does require people to follow certain standards, that does have different aspects of merit or refugee based element and should be updated, the system hasn't been updated

since '86. america sets a standard. the fact that america's pulled out of the u.n. discussions on global migration tells you about what the house calls abdication. this is no longer the behavior mind the words of a global leader, it's the words of a country that's fearful of the future and that runs so contrary to everything that people expect of the united states. >> we'll talk about all this. stick with us. next we'll also talk about the president's cancelled trip to london. he says he's not going because of something president obama did. we will examine the veracity of the claim with the former foreign secretary of the united kingdom when we come back. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly 10 years. humira works inside the body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance

on thursday evening amidst

the s storm donald trump tweeted the following reason i cancelled my trip to london is i'm not a big fan of the obama administration having sold the best located and finest embassy in london for peanuts only to build a new one in an off location for $1.2 billion. do you think that was the best and most amazing embassy in london and do you think trump is right >> the new one is closer to downing street than the old one. the old one is an architectural monstrocity. donald trump has made himself very unpopular. that's not a good thing. he's tweeting and retweeting of the fascist material in november

touched a deep chord in tuck and we can't end up with a situation where it's easier for president putin to go to london than president trump. i hope he doesn't hide too long behind this allegation. by the way it was the bush administration who took this decision to move -- >> you're letting facts get in the way of a good argument. mark, back to immigration. one thing i wonder is whether when d when donald trump makes these kind of comments like the shirt hole comment is he trying to remind his base he's, in fact, with them because, of course, the conversation before that had been that donald trump had gone soft on immigration. that he was now talking about a bill of love, a pass for dreamers, comprehensive reform. as somebody who supports his original hard-line or versions or parts of it, are you worried that trump will go soft and end up making a deal that is, in

fact, much more what the democrats want on immigration than the republicans? >> that's always a danger with the president because you never are really quite sure. even during the campaign he would say things that sounded more like jeb bush than donald trump. that's a long standing strain with the president's comments. but, it never ends up turning out that way. and as to your point about whether his comment about these countries was a calculated move, i don't think so. i think president is kind of a man in the treat. his gut reaction is the first thing that comes out of his mouth. so, no. i think what we saw in that meeting where he seems to be agreeing with the democrats and telling them sure i'll sign whatever it is you send me, i think that was more calculated in the sense of trying to show him, you know, agreeing with everybody and being agreeable, whereas his gut reaction is the,

you know, is relatively a more hawkish approach to immigration. i don't think it was calculated and i don't think -- i'm always worried he might go soft, but it never ends up happening. so i'm worried but not panicking let me put it that way. >> there's no danger america will be seen soft on these issues. america is leading the race to the bottom. the point i would make is that example that's being set is being used by leaders around the world who want to kick out refugees and it's undermining the position of people looking abdul of jordan he's hosts refugees and being urged by some people in his own country to send them back to syria and undermined by the stance taken by this administration. the truth is the vast majority of people coming from the troubled parts of the world are staying far away from the u.n. the top ten hosting refugee countries in the world account

for 2.5% of the world's income. >> you know, that's an important point, because bringing refugees to the united states, even a small number of them, is extraordinarily expensive and a misuse of our resources. the united states, it cost 12 times as much to resettle a refugee from the middle east as it does to care for them in the u.n. hcr facilities in the countries where they are taking their first asylum. it is morally indefensible to resettle refugees because each person that we bring here represents 11 other people that that money is not helping. there's no moral justification for resettling large numbers of refugees to the west. >> david, you get the last word. >> very small number of refugees are resetled in the west.

remember, the fake news at the heart of mark's comment is the idea that refugees are costing the american people. the america's government own report shows refugees are paying $6 billion a year more in taxes, $63 billion often years than they are receiving in benefits. these people who know the cost of persecution are contributeors to the american dream. >> it's worth pointing out you have a wonderful book called "rescue" and it's about the refugee crisis and about the fact that you sound like an englishman from central casting you're the son of refugees. >> that's right. mark, david, pleasure to have you on. next on gps, north korea. the president claimed in an interview that he and kim jong-un have a very good relationship. i will talk to "the new yorker's" robin right about that relationship and about newark when we come bac

in an interview thursday with the "wall street journal" president trump said, i probably have a very good relationship with kim jong-un. he refused to answer however whether he meant whether he actually spoken to the north korean leader. trump did say recently he would be willing to speak to kim. is a trump-kim conversation a good idea and what would they say. joining me now is robin wright. robin, you actually have been in north korea, talked to north korean officials. let's first start with why have they agreed to this, these talks with the south koreans? is that they really have a burning desire to be a part of the olympics? >> i think they do want to be a part of the olympics but i think more broadly this is a power play. this is a ploy to prevent washington to take action against it. it gives them time on their

nuclear program. they got the south koreans to pick up the tab for the athletic group but as well as the delegation that goes with it and the cheerleaders that the north koreans are so proud of. so, you know, i'm a little cynic whether this will lead to anything else. it will take after the olympics over one missile test, one tweet from the white house to get us back to where we were where north koreans are further along in their nuclear program. >> they reacted to the michael wolf book. >> it's fascinating to watch them talk about how this reflects the president's humiliation. they feel, and again remember this is an isolated country, feel that their adversary, the greatest danger to the north korean state is now being humiliated not justin united states but on the world stage. so it's been kind of fun to watch the north koreans try to make capital off the michael

wolf book. how far has the impact of fire and fury gone. >> one of the things i worry about is even if things do move in a positive direction, one of the difficulties here is that the trump administration will have to orchestrate some kind of negotiations or deals with a number of ally, the south korean, the japanese, a number of quasi adversaries. that's a very elaborate game. it feels -- they haven't been so good working with allies or these kind of complex negotiations. >> the trump administration? i mean the understatement of the year. his comments on immigration have underscored he lost credibility. his reputation have been demolished on the world stage. his racist attitude, bigoted world view to deal with some of the bigger issues facing the world, in a world that's globalizing, where racial

diversity is great aer than eve. his america first agenda looks like white first. >> you spent some years in africa. the thrust of his comments seemed to be directed towards africa and then haiti. how do you think those countries are reacting. >> astonishment. they constitute more than a quarter of the world's countries. they have contributed to nobel peace prizes in medicine and physics and chemistry. ten in peace. this is a continent that has contributed that it's on the front burner in terms of developing economy, fast-moving, fast growing economies. this is also a place where the demise of the islamic state in syria and iraq.

our greatest jihadi challenges in somalia. africa has to be a big part of his national security agenda. if africa is unstable so is america. >> let me also ask you about iran since i have the chance to have you here. again, you've spent a lot of time in iran, more than any foreign correspondent i can think of. what do you think is going on in there with those protests? do you think this is a kind of a moment for the regime or they will weather it? >> they've contained the protests for not. they've not contained tissue. this will continue to bubble. the question, of course, can the regime respond to kind of structural needs. president rouhani was trying to engage in the reforms that the world bank would have welcomed but at a cost to the people and these are kind of subsidies, he proposes to cutting, contributing to the price hikes

date back to the iran-iraq war. this is a long standing issue that has to be dealt with fortis l -- for the islamic republic to survive. >> it revealed how much money was going to syria and how much money was going to ayatollah. he pushed for faster internet. is he the gorbachev of iran. >> that's the question since 2003, because true reform -- revolution has to adata point or collapse. the key is often when you look at communism in the soviet union or apartheid in south africa, the key is economics. can an ideology sustain itself in practice. can an islamic theocracy sustain

itself. promise to give the downtrodden and oppressed. iran has not been able to deliver what people expect. with the number of cell phone users, 48 million now out of 80 milli million, with the majority of the population born since the revolution and unemployment among the young, 29% and unofficially closer to 40 there are hot beds of discontent across the country. you haven't seen the kind of unity between poor, the working class, the young and the reformers, the liberals and elites and educated that you did in the run up to the revolution. we're not in the midst of a counter revolution yet. >> do you think when you traveled there recently that it still is true, which is my experience that iranians surprisingly pro american or interested and excited to meet

americans and speak of it with no hostility? >> i think that was true up until the trump administration and i think the kind of language that has been used, again, a little bit what was used on immigration has led to a lot of disillusionment and the fact that some of the basics whether it's sanctions waivered or the boeing deal for aircraft a lot of things have been put in doubt. that's the things that iranian people felt to come out of it. they look at the trump administration having undermine the obama's administration in diffusing the evenings that date back four decades. next on gps much of america now has some variety of legal marijuana either for recreational or medicinal uses. but the trump administration altered guidance to federal prosecutors about how to deal with pot. is that a smart policy? when we come back. you won't believe how much is new at red lobster...

now for what in the world segment. at the end of last week as we all obsessed over michael wolf's book, attorney general jeff sessions in a one page memo quietly turned back years of progress on marijuana reform. on january 4th he versed an obama era decision that instructed them to relax enforcement in states that were legalized. are we bringing back a part of the war on drugs that had been dead and buried. let's remember this hugely expensive decades long war was deemed a failure by both sides of the aisle, crowding the country's prison with low level offenders. about 43 puerto rico of the nearly 1.5 million drug arrests in 2015 alone were related to marijuana. we're not just talking about

trafficking. there were more than 8 million marijuana arrests from 2001 to 2010 according to aclu 88% for possession. united states has one of the highest rates of incar certificatation in the world with more than 20% of the world's prisoners having less than 5% of its population. sessions has already run up against the priorities of many conservatives like the koch brothers for previous drug policy decision regarding sentencing. and legalization of marijuana is popular. 64% support legalization. a majority of republicans are in favor. 29 states plus the district of clo columbia. three quarters of respondents said they would oppose the

federal government enforcing marijuana laws in states that legalized it. with this move the administration is targeting a swiftly growing american industry, with businesses that could potentially be vulnerable to prosecution in the future. it ememploys between 165,000 to to 230,000. in states with the most liberal laws, taxes on cannibis are a huge boom. colorado raked in $270 million in 2017 in marijuana related tax revenue. millions of dollars of these revenues have been put back into public schools. and what happens if these legal growers and distributors shut down? illegal activity takes it place. as california republican congressman says sessions just

delivered an extravaganza holiday gift to the drug cartels. i guess sessions and trump might prefer to call it a christmas gift. up next to not a lot of good news on this show or in the world at large over the past year but when we come back we'll get the other side of doom and gloom. the astonishing quantity of good news when we come back. it's a long distance run and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly ten years. it's the number one prescribed biologic by dermatologists. more than 250,000 patients have chosen humira to fight their psoriasis. and they're not backing down. for most patients clearer skin is the proof. humira can lower your ability to fight infections including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems. serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb.

tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. join over two hundred and fifty thousand people who have chosen humira. ask your dermatologist about humira and go. i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®.

many americans and many of the rest of the world were quite pleased to see 2017 end. when "the washington post" asked americans for a word to describe last year the top ten results were, chaotic, crazy, challenging, great, tumultuous, horse re horrendous, disappointing, interesting/intriguing, disaster/disastrous, good. to all those skeptics

explain why you say 2017 was the best year in human history? >> they are right about the chaos. right about all the problems. but internally, we tend to focus on the problems. but we tend to ignore the backdrop. the great backdrop which continued strongly in 2017 is enormous progress against the age old enemies of humanity, l illiteracy, poverty, disease. every day another 300,000 people got clean water for the first time. now there are 325,000 got electricity for the first time. so my argument is that the most important thing happening right now is not a trump tweet but it is this larger tapestry of progress that's transforming the world.

>> when you look at markers like war, civil war, even there you see a remarkable uptick over the last -- if you look over the longer trajectory. >> down tick. >> sorry. uptick of peace. >> uptick of peace. interstate wars have pretty much just disappeared. and you do still see some civil wars. there's obviously conflict. but, you know, the number of people dying in any given year from warfare is way down on a per capita basis and on an absolute basis from what it was. >> when people hear this and say wait what about syria. i hear about the horrors of syria. >> it's true. it was every bit horrific as they say. people forget about the angolan

war, mozambique war, plus all of indochina. and so i think that intellectuals are often reluctant to acknowledge this progress. then it seems one is being disloyal to all the needs out there. but i think that there's a risk that if we don't acknowledge this back grope of progress, then we simply empower the folks who want to make america great again and long for nostalgia for some kind of a past golden era that really never existed. >> you're saying if you operate sort of out of a backdrop of pessimism and fear you're likely to come to the wrong conclusions rather than recognizing there's a lot to be optimistic about. >> that's right. one problem with both journalism and the humanitarian community

they focus on the problems and leave people feeling hopeless. 90% of people in polls say that global poverty is either worsening or staying the same, when the extraordinary trend in our lifetimes has been that when i was a kid, a majority of human beings had always been poor and illiterate throughout human history and now fewer than 10% in terms of absolute poverty. >> this is terrific. what you're describing the trend, the signal that doesn't make news any given day but is actually the bigger tidal wave in the long run. >> that's right. i think it's a fair criticism of journalism that we cover what happens on a particular day but we don't cover what happens every day. we missed the industrial revolution story and i'm afraid we're missing this progress

story too. >> not on this show. thank pup. next on gps china delivers a death blow to america. that what happens metaphorically at the end of china's top grossing movie ever. now china has submitted the film for the oscars. i'll tell you all about it when we come back. now i have nicoderm cq. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. it's the best thing that ever happened to me. every great why needs a great how. and when youod sugar is a replace one meal... choices. ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna. we believe in food that's anaturally beautiful,, fresh and nutritious. so there are no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives in any of the food we sell. we believe in real food. whole foods market.

i no wondering, "what if?" uncertainties of hep c. i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who've have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni.
