fareed zakaria gps is up next. let's listen in. today my gaetz is former president bill clinton. in the rise of putin and policies.

september means going back to school. this was special this year. the children of uscience went back to class since war broke out. finally, september always means back-to-school for kids. this year, though, a special group was amongst them. the children of ukraine went back to class last week for the first time since war broke out. "gps" had the great privilege of speaking to some of them when we

visited kyiv last week. >> my dad can get injured or my home can get destroyed. >> it's not something that only affects ukrainians, but will sooner or later affect the whole world. >> but first, here's my take. at first glance, kyiv looked strangely normal. there were a few barricades here and there, but mostly the streets were busy, traffic was moving, shops were open, and restaurants were full. you could buy french wines, american energy drinks, and candy from around the world at the local grocery store. the city looked much as it had on my last visit a year ago, though get thing this time was far more complicated. i flew to poland, drove to the polish/ukrainian border and took a 12-hour train ride to kyiv. scratch beneath the surface, however, and i found a society profoundly scarred by the russian invasion. every ukrainian i spoke to had a friend or relative who had been killed or wounded or displaced. at least 14 million ukrainians have moved from their homes. more than half of them refugees abroad. millions of able bodied men are fighting or in some way assisting the war effort. millions of children are in foreign countries. people are experiencing fear, loss, sadness, and anxiety all at the same time. but they are determined to carry on .

air raid sirens sounded off once or twice a day. but people paid little attention to them, since they were precautionary. in contrast to the early days of the war, kyiv is now well removed from the fighting. ukrainians seem determined to show life will go on. that the russian invasion has not brought their lives to a halt. that is why the foundation decided to hold its annual strategy meeting on schedule, as it has for 17 years. the meeting used to be held at yalta, but after the russian invasion of crimea, the venue moved to kyiv, though the name defiantly remains the same. among those who attended were poland's prime minister, latvia's president, germany's foreign minister and a delegation of british members of parliament from all major parties. u.s. national security adviser jake sullivan spoke via videoconference. more impressive, however, were the ukrainian heroes who were

highlighted throughout the conference. for example, a 15-year-old boy explained that he used his own drone to provide the ukrainian army with the coordinates of russian armored vehicles and tanks. thus reportedly helping to destroy 100 of them. or ukraine's rock legend who talked about going around the country and performing for free, even in the trenches, even when there were just a dozen soldiers as his audience. the war in ukraine fits a top down attack against a bottom up response. russia's invasion is largely one man's decision. russian society might approve, but it does not appear enthusiastic. to get new recruits, russia is apparently recruiting from prisons, offering large cash bounties and employing mercenaries. ukraine's response is society wide. starting with its elected

government, but involving almost all of the country's citizens. one key aspect of the astonishing advance of ukraine's army in the east and the astonishing collapse of russia's forces is the gap in morale. ukraine's soldiers are fighting for their country and freedom. russians are fighting out of fear and for money. this divergence between a top down invasion and bottom up response may also affect the wider reaction to the war. putin's strategy is to bet of the weakness of western voters. as winter comes, he's warned that people in the eu will freeze if he cuts off all energy supplies. he believes that at that point, western governments will start to sue for peace. but i'm not so sure. the western public is unusually united on this issue. large majorities of americans and germans back the support for

ukraine. the numbers are not so different in european countries. the right wing coalition that will likely win in italy, the probable next prime minister, georgia maloney, has wholeheartedly backed the western response. to the extent there might be faltering, countries on europe's eastern flank, poland and the baltic states are opposed to any relaxation efforts. it's always easy to underestimate the staying power of democracies. they're noticy, contentious and open. they air all their doubts and critiques in public. when there is a sense that the struggle is not central, or that the goals chosen by leaders are fundamentally flawed, as in vietnam and iraq, there are constant calls for course correction. but when the stakes are high, and the cause is just, democracies can stay the course. they did it for almost five

decades during the cold war. and they will do it for a couple of winters in this pivotal struggle. go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my column. and let's get started. ♪ let's getting right to my interview with bill clinton. i met the former president in new york. he was gearing up for the clinton global initiative, which starts monday. this used to be an annual conference, but hasn't been held since 2016. the 76-year-old clinton is energized that it's been reborn. and he's energized as always by american politics. president clinton, pleasure to have you on the program. >> thank you. glad to be back. >> when you look at the midterms, do you think because of abortion and the passage of a

few very important bills, could biden break the historical pattern of the, you know, midterms going badly? >> absolutely. but we could hold both these houses. but we have to say the right things. and we have to note the republicans always close well why? because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters. that's what they did in 2021 where they made critical race theory sound worse than smallpox. it wasn't being taught at any public school in america, but they didn't care. they just scare people. and at the end, the break point in american politics is not much different than it was in the '90s. as you still have to get those people. there's just so many fewer, because as the parties have gone more idealogical and clear and psychically intolerant, they

pull more and more people toward the extremes. but there's still some people hanging on who are trying to think and trying to understand what's going on. so i think that's very important. >> the way tony blair puts it, he said i think i'm paraphrasing correctly, you and he understood that you had to appeal to peoples on cultural issues to reassure them that you weren't a crazy-eyed radical, and then they would be open to listening to your economic policies that would help them. but if they thought you were an alien, they would not listen. >> that's right. and it applies to other things. when i -- when we succeeded in breaking the filibuster and getting the assault weapons ban passed, i said look, i grew up in a hunting culture. you know, i had a .22 when i was 10 years old, a .410 shotgun when i was 14.

i don't want to do anything to interfere with your right to hunt, sport shoot or protect yourself, especially if you live in a rural area where the police response time might be extended. but if i keep that commitment, wouldn't you like to help a lot of these kids being shot down in drive-by shootings? wouldn't you like to do that? we need your help here. and that's what i did. i didn't call them killers. i didn't talk about the nra. i talked about people. there aren't so many of them, but you just need a few to flip from one side or the other, and you've got a healthy majority. it is hard, and it's much harder now than when i did it. and it was hard then. but what biden's reason was, i just have to keep at it and i'll

either get something done or i won't, but i can't win a word war with these guys. i have to win based on things that will help people. he's got a platform to stand on that will help other people's lives. politics is about other people. and the problem with the culture war is that it always tries to turn it back to the politicians. what's wrong with them, and this is what the press has to guard against. because if you have to worry about daily ratings, you know, the drama of two people duking it out is far more profound. be effective. but it always, in the end, ends up helping the right. because we -- it's harder to build a barn than it is to kick one down. when you build it, you have to explain what you built and why it's a good thing to put your animals in your barn.

and it's just -- it's harder. but it's really worth doing. >> i'm struck by how when you watch the republicans campaigning for this midterm, it's almost all about cancel culture, about critical race theory, it's about what your kids are going to be taught in school. ron desantis sent fund-raising emails about that. will it work? >> he's sending venezuelans who were coming here fleeing the successor to hugo chavez's disaster, because the guy doesn't want to go, and he has no economic answers. right? so he sends them to martha's vineyard. why? because martha's vineyard is this symbol of where the elite go to vacation. and for people who know more on the east coast, it was also the first place that welcomed black professionals and business

people from the south to come and live on equal terms in a community that was largely created for religious reflection study. so it's a -- you know, that's what's going on. i don't know what massachusetts is going to do, but i bet that they will make those people feel at home. next on "gps," we'll move to the world stage with president clinton and talk about vladamir putin, his war in ukraine, and how the fall of the soviet union and the immediate aftermath might have influenced what is happening today. get ready - our most popular battery is even more powerful. the stronger, lasts-longer

we have just passed the 200 day mark of putin's war on ukraine, and despite kyiv's recent successes fighting back against the invader, there is no real end in sight. i wanted to hear president clinton's take on the war, and how events 30 years ago might have started it all in motion. let me ask you about russia and the war in ukraine. you know there are a lot of people who argue that it's all your fault. that the reason that russia has invaded ukraine is that the united states, by expanding nato, provoked that. the largest almost significant expansion of nato took place on your watch. what do you say to that? >> you're wrong.

and here's why. when i did what i did, i offered russia not only a special partnership with nato, but the prospect of eventual membership of nato, arguing that our biggest security problems in the future were going to come from non-state actors, or from authoritarian states selling chemical, biological, and nuclear capacity to terrorist groups. and that we should do this together. but i looked at him and i said, you know, do you really believe i would use an air base in poland to bomb russia? and he said no. but a lot of little old ladies in western russia do, because their historic memory includes

hitler appeared and their grandparents' memories included napoleon. i said okay, i concede that. but our historic memory includes the notion that your greatest days were under ivan, peter the great and catherine the great. in other words, when you could control your neighbors. and people don't want to be controlled any more. they want to be free to chart their own course. i'll never forget the first time a man with impeccable military credentials, who is the admiral d. the aide-de-camp in world war ii, said you're going to have to leave vietnam for the same reason we had to leave nigeria. we left nigeria after a horrible war, 3 million people died. but we had to go, and you're going to have to go. i said, why? he said, because they adopt want you. you know, people want to chart their own course.

they have to feel secure in their own identities and have to have the courage to work with others. and this is not easy psychologically. and there are duelling historical narratives, but i'm more convinced today than i was then that we did the right thing. when president putin made no secret of the fact that he thought the dissolution of the soviet union was a great tragedy in world history, he made no secret of the fact that he thought president khrushchev or premier khrushchev a terrible, terrible job in giving crimea to ukraine. and he only did it as a gift assuming ukraine would always be part of the soviet union. so -- and i remember talking to him about this. i said i got a deal with russia

to respect the territorial integrity of ukraine. and i got the british to go along and nato to go along and we all signed the deal. he said yes, you did, but he said you also never got it confirmed in the parliament, because -- they did, they had all these nationalists. and therefore, i'm not bound by it and i don't agree with it. i mean, i don't see how we could be surprised by all this. but i think the fact that the ukrainians are willing to stand up is encouraging. and who is providing a lot of those weapons and training? nato. and what does finland want to do? join nato. disagree. i think we did the right thing at the right time. and if we hadn't done it, this crisis might have occurred even sooner.

but you can't tell people you're supposed to tell the poles they should live the rest of eternity with insecurity that russia won't try to come after them again? or the hungarians or the, you know, the -- all the others. the baltic states. really, after what they did, did they ever want to be in the soviet union? and the czech republic was the most democratic of all, and the best managed. and from the fall of the cold war for the next ten years. they followed the fall of the berlin wall for the next ten years. next on "gps," i'll ask bill clinton about the existential challenges he says the world faces today.

on monday, after a five-year absence, the clinton global initiative will hold an annual meeting. in attendance will be world leaders, hollywood stars, corporate titans, ngo heads and activists from around the world. they will meet to discuss many of the problems that plague society and commit to help solving them. clinton explained that he, hillary, and chelsea were bringing back the meeting because the world faces an you are -- an urgent and existential challenges. i want to ask you about the clinton global initiative and many of the issues you're dealing with there. one of the issues that you've talked about is inclusive growth, and the difficulty of

getting that kind of inclusive growth. and it feels like this is so much of the heart of the inequality, the political tensions. is there a simple solution to this? people have been trying to do it, but the problem seems to be in the world we're in now, that games do tend to accrue to people who are educated. >> they tend to accrue. so you need public policy and private action. businesses, ngos, to figure out how to take advantage of the good things about the modern world and extinguish the bad. i'll give you an example. one of our partners who sadly just passed away, founded brac .

and brac and other of our partners, they're the biggest microcredit banks in the world. and they're both -- they started in bangladesh. bangladesh has had terrible political problems. it's been deeply divided between two dynasties, headed by two women, one lost her father, one lost her husband in political violence, and then their successors. so for years, there was six years in a row where, in effect, they had no government. what happened in bangladesh? it grew at 6% a year. 6% a year. why? because they proved that if the ground was thick enough with small loans to people who had talent and the willingness to work, you could still build an economy that worked. that's the most successful example in the world i'm aware of. but i can give you lots of other

examples. >> tell me about the u.s., because you know that people will say about inclusive growth in america. how do we -- >> okay. so, well, one of the things we have to do is make more growth inclusive that in the 12990s. we need more micro-credit in america. there is a branch open in new york city, and it's working. poor people are paying back their loans and they're making money. >> let me ask you about another issue you're going to take up at cgi. refugees. one of the things that i think the right has hammered at -- with regard to the democratic party appeared president biden, is this issue of refugees coming into the united states. i think it's fair to say that the asylum system seems to be broken. this was meant to be a system that allowed people who were in

desperate circumstances, and now what you have is a lot of people who are essentially economic migrants coming in, essentially gaming the system, using the asylum way to get in. isn't it true that there has to be some order in place? >> i agree with that. there is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without severe disruption and assistance. and our system is based much more on an assumption that things would be more normal. for example, as long as i can remember, we've had an immigration system, we've given green cards to people from other countries who had valuable

skills that we needed. and it generally had a lot of support until somebody felt their economic interests were threatened. when i was a boy, when i was a young man even, mexican citizens moved freely back and forth across the rio grande river and did agricultural work. and it worked for people. nafta happened at a time when there was increasing industrialization. everybody knew that was going to happen, but it did displace jobs. el paso lost 6600 jobs when the manufacturing of jeans went across the border. but they supported it, because they knew over the long run, they had to find a way to live and work together. so this is -- it's an old story. but now you just got the largest number of refugees since world war ii because of syria and now

ukraine. and other problems in the middle. what happened in venezuela had more than 2 million refugees pouring into first colombia and then nearby countries. it's created unprecedented new challenges. meanwhile, it provides opportunities for stunts like governor abbott sending his refugees to some place that he thinking is advocating for a broad-minded policy that he doesn't have to live with. and then governor desantis sending those people to mar that's vineyard, that is amazing. that may come back to haunt him a little bit. >> we'll be back with the end of my conversation with president bill clinton. if you miss a show, go to cnn.com/fareed for a link to my itunes podcast. onder what everys doing on their phones? they're investing with merrill. think miss allen is texting for backup? no she's totally in charge.

of her portfolio and daniel g. she's building a greener future and he's... running a pretend restaurant. and phil? phil has questions, but none of them are about his portfolio. digital tools so impressive, your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors.

kerendia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood. ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium. kerendia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, remember, k is for kidneys, and if you need help slowing kidney damage, ask your doctor about kerendia. get ready - our most popular battery is even more powerful.

the great political trend of our time remains populism. which is still, well, popular in many places around the globe. america's not immune, of course. look at donald trump and his hold on the republican party. i wanted to hear president clinton's take. a lot of people look at these various populist movements and say they're what comes out of the excesses of the neo-liberal erase of the '90s. when we had a lot of growth, free markets and free trade, but it look behind particularly the white working class. you presided over this incredible period of growth in the united states. do you think there's something to that critique? >> there is, but let's look what happened. that no one ever talks about,

although we timely got two great articles on this sharp decline in poverty over the last 35 years in america, because we keep added on to what's working, and stopping what doesn't, which is what government should do. but the truth is, there were problems with a market-oriented economy, where whenever you change the technology, and we moved into i.t. related business, there's always an advantage to the people who get there first, and the people who get there first are the ones with the money, ideas and access to technology. and then society has to catch up. the real problem is, that in the united states and several other countries, there wasn't enough done to do the catching up. that's all true. that's what my campaign in 1992 was all about.

that's why, you know, when i left office, we moved 100 times more people out of poverty into the middle class than my predecessors. because i understood that. it's the only time since the end of world war ii when, percentage wise, the incomes of the bottom 20%, rose slightly more than the top 20. not that i wanted to make them poor, but if you look at a graph of, let's say, their most successful president was reagan, because it was the first time we had ever been on a deficit-fueled sugar high in peacetime, but in every quintile, except the top 5% really. they did better in the 1990s, the american people did, with more shared prosperity. i think that's a legitimate critique, but it doesn't really explain, um, the rise of the

transformation of a young, more progressive oriented, open politician to a person who ran against muslims and immigration generally. that's something that happens to the mindset of a people, and a skilled politician can make the most of it and one who doesn't want to follow the traditional practice in democracy, which is term limits for chief executives, and will do what they can to make the most of that. >> why are we so prone to this cultural populism at this moment? >> because the world got on fire at the same time from economic disorder, starting with the crash, and rising inequality, and a wildfire of culture wars.

so what happened in america is we should have been the best position to resist it. we didn't, but four years later we did. and you see what happened. if you compare hillary's concession speech to what trump did, it's daylight and dark. why? because we actually believe, those of us who don't support negative populism, divisive populism, that you can be an inclusive populist or an inclusive conservative, as long as you believe in the fundamental principles of democracy, majority rule, minority rights, shared decision making, and restraint by the rule of law. so that's the battle we're fighting here in america, but it's going on all over the world, as you pointed out. and this new world got off to a good start with the collapse of communism.

and with the rise of information technology, with all of its economic and other potential. but it was bound to have growing pains. i mean, there were bound to be people, as there always are, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunities of democracy, and then pull up the ladder behind them when they got in. it's an old, old story. there's a reason america is the longest lasting democracy in history. they're hard to preserve. they're hard to treasure because when they're not particularly functional, we all live with it, and all we can do is vote for something else. >> i have to ask you this in conclusion. ken starr just passed away. this was the special prosecutor, independent counsel for whitewater, never file a charge on whitewear, but turned your second term of your presidency

upsidedown. do you have any thoughts or reflexes? refle reflections. >> well, i read the obituary, and i realized that his family loved him, and i think that's something to be grateful for. and when your life is over, that's all there is to say. but i was taught not to talk about people that i, you know, i have nothing to say. except i'm glad he died with the love of his family. >> president clinton, pleasure to have you on the program. >> thanks. next on "gps," for months we focused on things like how many missiles have been launched, or how many square miles were gained or lost in ukraine. but forgotten in those details are the lives of ukrainians. especially ukrainian children. where last week when we were in kyiv, "gps" had the privilege of speaking to some as they returned to school for the first

and now for the last look. schools in ukraine have been shut since the russian invasion in february. thousands of them shelled and battered by russian bullets, bombs and rockets. but on the first of this month, they opened again to millions of students. president volodymyr zelenskyy marked the milestone by visiting a school in irpin. and a week later, we took our cameras to visit a posh private school in kyiv, to talk to students about what it felt like coming back after months of war. >> there was a lot of hugging on the first day of school. laughing. but we also sang the hymn of the -- of ukraine.

and we just live like a normal back-to-school day. it was perfect. it was really good. >> i was really happy that day. i felt just like fulfilled. >> but of course, even in the relative calm of this private school, everything is not normal. [ sirens ] air raid sirens still sometimes punctuate the day in kyiv. when the children go out to play, they have to bring so-called safety bags with them. these are filled with food and water and books and toys. what they need for times spent in the school's air raid shelter. in fact, no school in ukraine was allowed to open for in-person classes without a shelter. >> i don't want to live in this war circumstances where i just -- i want to study and it

was air raid sirens two days in a row. and i was in school at this moment. and it's really painful. i just want to meet with my friends, but i need to go to shelter. >> for many of the kids, memories of the day of the invasion are fresh. >> i woke up because of bombs and went with my family in unknown direction. we thought maybe we would never return home. >> i was shocked, astonished, devastated. >> it's really difficult to understand that my town, my hometown where i am from, is being destroyed every minute, and a lot of people are dying and a lot of my acquaintances are dying, and it's really horrible. >> some recall painful separations from friends, from family members.

one moved to spain with his mother and grandmother. his father stayed behind under martial law. >> i worry every day that maybe it will be a shot in western ukraine, and my dad can get injured. or my home could get destroyed. so it was really worrying for me. >> about one subject, almost all the children we spoke to were extremely clear, their feelings about the architect of this bloody war, vladamir putin. >> he's the stupidest thing that ever was in this world. >> what are you doing? you kill small children. you kill people. but we definitely know that he know what he do. >> i urge you to visit all of the places that were destroyed by your soldiers, by your decision. and talk to all of the people
