that those two things are going to be very, very helpful to sort of solving a lot more of the questions that we have, fredricka, at this hour. >> evan, thank you. cnn senior national security analyst juliette kayyem also with me. juliette, lots of evidence here, lots of information, but still many unanswered questions. what are some of yours? >> so three big takeaways here. >> i think one, it is important that this they're still mentioning this foreign travel egypt and canada as well as some reconnaissance or some visits to the united states to other cities. >> i think that's just relevant because the fbi still finds it relevant. so in particular, this foreign travel, we still think he organized this on his own. in fact, the pictures are pretty telling. he's by himself at this stage. i think the second issue that sort of the biggie that sort of comes out, comes out of this is that these

materials that everyone was worried about that might have been foreign sourced. the fbi is now clarifying these are sort of typical united states explosives. there's a variant of them. he wasn't very good. fortunately a detonating things. but i think it's important that people know that we're not talking now about some foreign substance, foreign explosives that comes in. and then the third is just, look, i mean, the new orleans can't stop. we've been talking about this, about pushing forward while morning. we've got the they've got the super bowl and the mardi gras. and i thought it was important the mayor came in saying, we're going to get sort of new eyes to look at what we thought. we already, you know, what we thought was clear is in particular for the super bowl in terms of site hardening, but also the mardi gras. this is a very difficult event to secure, just given how long it is. and on the streets. and you heard mention of something called a sear two to sear one that sort of security speak for asking the department of homeland security to, to

elevate it. so they are planning on moving forward. and they i mean, they clearly want to have tourists and businesses still invest and come to new orleans. sure. and that's where it is. >> all right, julie, we're going to leave it there for now. see you again in about an hour. hopefully you can join me in the cnn newsroom, because that's where i'm going to be an hour from now. for now, we are going to go to fareed zakaria gps. thank you so much for being with us during this breaking news. much more straight ahead. >> this is gps, the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i'm fareed zakaria coming to you live from new york. today on the program. the fbi says the new orleans truck attack was 100% inspired by i.s.i.s. should americans be bracing for more? my guest says, yes. the terrorism

warning lights are blinking also, what can we expect on the foreign policy front from president trump 2.0? how will he deal with china, russia, the middle east? i'll ask richard haass and corey sharkey. then, just days before jimmy carter's funeral, i talked to his chief speechwriter, the great journalist james fallows, about the legacy of the 39th president. and now here's my take. countries with more than half of the world's population went to the polls last year. and the basic message they sent to their governments was one of dissatisfaction and anger with the status quo. their frustration, however, seemed to be particularly focused on the party that has traditionally

been identified with big government. the left. almost everywhere you look, the left is in ruins. of the 27 countries of the european union, only a handful have left of center parties leading government coalitions. the primary left of center party in the european parliament now has just 136 seats in a 720 seat chamber. even in countries that have been able to stem the rise of right wing populism like poland, it is the center right that is thriving, not the left. and in the u.s., of course, the breath of donald trump's victory. nearly 90% of counties in america moved right suggests that it is very much part of this trend. the crisis of democratic government, then, is actually a crisis of progressive government. people seem to feel that they have been taxed, regulated, bossed around and intimidated by left of center politicians for decades. but the results are bad and have been getting worse. new

york, where i live, and florida, where i visit, often provide an interesting contrast. they have similar sized populations. new york with about 20 million people, florida with about 23 million. but new york state's budget is more than double that of florida's 239 billion, versus roughly 116 billion. in addition, new york city, which is a little more than three times the size of miami-dade county, has a budget of more than $100 billion, which is nearly ten times that of miami-dade. new york city's spending grew from 2012 to 2019 by over 40%, four times the rate of inflation. does any new yorker feel that he or she got 40% better services during that time? what do new yorkers get for these vast sums of money generated by the highest tax rates in the country? if you're well off in new york city, you pay nearly as much in

income taxes as in london, paris or berlin without free higher education or health care, i might add. new york's poverty rate is higher than florida's. new york has a lower rate of home ownership and a much higher rate of homelessness. despite spending more than twice as much on education per student, new york has education outcomes. graduation rates, eighth grade test scores that are roughly the same as florida's. it's easy to comfort oneself by thinking that these sky high tax rates and growing government revenues are providing some crucial ingredients of progressive government, but they are often simply the toll of waste and mismanagement. the first phase of the second avenue subway construction, at $2.5 billion per mile, was 8 to 12 times more expensive compared to a sampling of similar projects in places like italy, sweden, paris and berlin. not exactly low cost locales. a large chunk of state

and city tax revenues goes to fund pensions. in illinois, more than 8% of the budget goes towards pensions. in new york city, nearly 22% of the budget funds pensions and benefits for government workers, now promising government workers generous pensions has been an easy way to buy the support of a crucial voting bloc, while ensuring that the costs don't show up in the budgets until years later. america's big cities are incubators of growth, vitality and energy. that's why the spotlight is placed on them and their governance, and what people have seen recently is liberalism run amok for years. theft was rampant in california cities because of a weak shoplifting law. new york's homeless, some of whom are drug addicts or mentally ill, are left to frighten and harass the public on the streets and in the subways. the man charged this week with attempted murder after pushing

another man in front of the subway, had a string of prior arrests. the ultimate test, of course, is how people are voting with their feet. for years now, new york has been losing people to states like florida. this same story can be told with minor variations about california and texas. basically, big red states are growing at the expense of big blue states, which will translate politically into more republican representation in congress and more electoral votes. there's now an interesting effort by people like elon musk and vivek ramaswamy to combine cultural conservatism and economic nationalism with the radical reform of government that could be an appealing ideology for many voters who are frustrated by a government where nothing seems to work that well. on the other side, if democrats do not learn some hard lessons from the poor

governance in many blue cities and states, they will be left defending cultural elites, woke ideology and bloated, inefficient government. and that might be a formula for permanent minority status. go to cnn.com/vote for a link to my washington post column this week, and let's get started. on new year's day. 14 people were killed and dozens injured in an i.s.i.s. inspired truck attack in new orleans. police killed the attacker, an army veteran from texas. graham allison coauthored a prescient foreign affairs article in june called the terrorism warning lights are blinking red again. he is a professor of government at harvard who served in the pentagon under bill clinton and has advised secretaries of defense under every president,

from ronald reagan to donald trump. graham, welcome. that really was quite an article where you laid out something that the director of the fbi had been laying out, christopher wray, which is that the terrorism warning lights are blinking. tell us, give us a little bit more of a sense of what it is that you and your coauthor, mike morrell, saw that made you worry. >> well, we found ourselves just in our private conversations confessing to each other that we were hearing echoes of the echoes of the sort that we had heard before 9/11, the terrible attack on the world trade center and the pentagon that killed 3000 people. so what kind of what kind of of echoes or warning lights? first, the mideast on fire. you can't have a region as disturbed as it is without a lot of chaos. chaos is where islamic groups regroup. and when we're seeing a

regrouping of them in afghanistan with isil in syria, in iraq, in the wars in the region. secondly, every day, as avril haines of national intelligence has said every day that the war in gaza goes on, you're seeing a sea change in the islamic and palestinian world as they think about, you know, their future, their lives. third, here in the u.s., there's been this almost normalization of violence, with more and more people being deranged and deluded, and therefore. possible, possibly attracted as this texas bomber driver who killed the 14 people in new orleans. so a confluence of factors and graham helped us to parse through two different kinds of of terrorism. >> one is the lone wolf who

seems maybe inspired by i.s.i.s., inspired by some radical vision. and the second, a 9/11 type attack coordinated, planned, operationalized by a group possibly in the middle east, has therefore access to many more weapons and is presumably planning a series of attacks is, you know, is one more likely than the other in the kind of world you're describing now? or do we have to be on guard for both? >> well, i think you're right to identify the two. and then you also have just this homegrown versions. but i think all of them are dangerous, i think. and they actually feed on each other. so the how in the world, how in the world did this fellow who had been a veteran, a texan, a get into the into his head that he had been become radicalized by islam and now he's wanting to

conduct terrorism here in the u.s. i think trying to figure out the psychology of these individuals is very, very difficult. at the same time, when you have the chaos that you have in the middle east today, i was talking to an israeli counterintelligence person, and he said they had identified 1800 separate groups of islamic, uh, they could be small groups or even groups of hundreds emerging as clones or next generation versions of i.s.i.s. or isil. so i think we're in for a long stage in which this will become just part of the threat environment that we have to live with, and part of what seems to feed this is something we sometimes forget. >> but the barriers to entry, i hate to use a business term for this. the barriers to entry for terrorism have gotten lower and lower. it's it's easier to

find this stuff, uh, online, in places. i mean, you you saw it different example. but the guy who who killed the united health care ceo machine printed a gun. uh, how do you know? is there is there is this a losing battle in the sense that you can't stop people having access to weapons that are very deadly well, that's again an excellent point. >> i think that, you know, how hard is it to rent a truck? well, we just saw both in in las vegas and in new orleans. not that hard. and how hard is it to buy a gun? most places. not very hard. how hard is it to find large constellations of people? i mean, if you go back to the taylor swift event, she was having a concert in vienna where they would have killed probably 10,000 people had the terrorist attack not been disrupted. so the piece of good news in this fareeda, i mean, i think it's part of our the threat environment we'll have to live with. but i think the good news

is that the intelligence agencies and the law enforcement agencies, the military, have been working very hard. so i find a lot more thwarted or prevented terrorist attacks than the ones that succeed. now, unfortunately, it's horrible when you have success like the the deranged fellow in in new orleans. but we live in a very dangerous world. and actually, americans kill more of each other, you know, every week than we do than we have from americans killed by terrorist attacks. so that gets into a whole 'nother nother topic that you've explored in a previous show of, have we normalized violence in a way that, uh, uh, should be unacceptable but may just become part of life? >> graham. >> allison, pleasure to have you on, sir. >> thank you. a pleasure to be here.

>> next on gps. what will trump's foreign policy look like? we'll explore with two seasoned experts when we come back. >> that moment you walk in the office and people are wearing the same gear, you feel a sense of connectedness and belonging right away. and our shirts from custom ink help bring us together. >> we make it easy to wow all your groups with high quality custom apparel and promo products, all backed by our guarantee at customink.com. >> my name is braden. i was five years old when i came to saint jude. i'll try and shorten down the story. so i've been having these headaches that wouldn't go away. my mom, she was just trying what they said. your son has brain cancer backwards. it was your worst fear coming to life watching your child grow up is the dream of every parent. >> you can join the battle to save the lives of kids like braden by supporting saint jude

american enterprise institute. richard, let me start with you. you you now have so many opinions that you that you express on your substack blog that i'll just name it. >> if you're going to say that. >> what is it? remind me the name. home and away. home and away. and if you want to hear richard haass views on foreign policy or golf, you can get both of them. but on foreign policy, i want to ask you, do you really think that trump is going to do something serious about ukraine? you've been arguing for a long time that there is a deal to be had. the borders are not going to change. the ukrainians need to accept that, and the russians need to accept that ukraine will get some kind of security guarantees. so my real question is for that to work, trump will have to pressure putin because putin needs to accept the deal. the leverage on zelenskyy is obvious. we say we will withhold aid. what makes you hopeful that that could happen, that that trump could pressure putin or try to pressure putin? >> well, first, what makes me

optimistic is the situation on the ground. it's deteriorated slightly over the last few months, but after three years of fighting, ukraine has essentially fought the russians to a standstill. second of all, zelenskyy, president of ukraine, seems to have come around to the idea that he's not going to militarily liberate the 20% of his territory that he's lost, and he seems to be willing to make a trade. essentially, i will compromise for some type of a ceasefire in place. i won't give up my long term claims in exchange for the security assurances about arms, what have you. so i think essentially the united states and ukraine are pretty much at that point. now you will turn on to to putin. if donald trump really wants this agreement as much as he said, it's vladimir putin who stands in his way. vladimir putin clearly has manpower problems, not just we see it from the north koreans, but increasingly anybody and everybody in russia is being incentivized to join up for the military. he's got real economic problems. so i'm not suggesting mr. trump's going to get his deal in his day. but, you know, i once wrote a book

about ripeness, and you've got to have situations where people are willing and able to make deals. well, putin hasn't been willing. he's obviously able to make a deal. i think he's getting in the space where he's moving closer to. he's going to be forced to be willing. and i think mr. zelenskyy is is obviously able to make a deal if he wants. and i think he's now come around to that. so i think there's a decent chance 2025 will be the year that we will have serious movement towards a ceasefire. >> corey, what do you think? >> i agree with richard that the sand is running through the hourglass for both ukraine and for russia, but i don't see any evidence that putin thinks he's losing, thinks he's been fought to a standstill. i think he is banking on western countries becoming tired of paying attention to ukraine's suffering. and and i think president zelenskyy has actually played the incoming trump administration. exactly as you say, fareed. he understands his reliance on the

u.s. and he's got to find a way to deal with president trump. and i think he's doing that very effectively. what i hope will happen is that president trump will hold true to his campaign promise that if russia won't make a deal, he will open up the spigots and give ukraine what it needs to win the war, because foreign minister lavrov is not sounding like there's any trade space. i don't think putin thinks he's losing. >> so i don't see. and you've been critical of the biden administration. you felt that the spigot should have been opened more, more fully. >> yeah, i think the biden administration was always predominantly concerned about escalation and attack on a nato country or american involvement. and as a result, they left american allies who are at greater risk of retaliation than the u.s. is to make the first moves on releasing airplanes, on releasing long range weaponry.

and instead of actually leading ukraine to be able to reestablish its sovereignty over its internationally recognized territory, we got to move just because there's so much to cover. >> iran, another place that you and i have both argued, there's an intriguing possibility that trump can say, let's find some new iran nuclear deal, because at the end of the day, you do want them in a box on, on on the nuclear issue. what is the possible possibility of that actually happening? >> well, funny you should ask. i have a piece coming out monday on foreign affairs that basically says, i think we should press for a grand bargain. serious constraints on iran's nuclear program. uh, with verifiable ceilings. second of all, end of military support for proxies. and in exchange, we would ease sanctions and we would be willing to live with the the islamic republic of iran. but essentially, we would establish

two very demanding national security goals. i don't know if they'll agree to it. we backed these demands with force and say, look, one way or another, you're going to get out of the business of supporting proxies militarily. the houthis, hezbollah, hamas, and one way or the other, you're going to have a nuclear program that's going to be so limited. we're going to be comfortable with it. so we prefer to do it diplomatically. but if you're not prepared to to do it, if you will voluntarily, we will do it through the focused use of military force. >> but there would be an upside if they did it. the release of because that's what the right has been unwilling to do so far. >> there has to be. i think the upside is that sanctions relief. i'd be prepared to essentially recognize the islamic republic. i would put this into a treaty if that's what the iranians want. so it was open, open ended. so, yeah, there's there's something in it for, for then. and it allows us, by the way, to help stabilize this part of the world. so in part, we can focus more on the situation in europe, disabuse mr. putin that time is on his side and focus

obviously a lot more on china. >> all right. stay with us. when we come back, we're going to talk about the rest of the world, but particularly places where there are divisions in trump land. >> for gentle, dependable constipation relief, try seneca. it works differently than other laxatives because it's made from the senna plant, a natural vegetable laxative ingredient. gentle, dependable senna can also available in delicious gummies. >> i brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. here, i'll take that. >> ensure. max protein, 30g protein, one gram sugar and a protein blend to feed muscles up to seven hours. >> when my hair started thinning, i didn't want to hear the wisecracks. >> i was ignoring my hair because i was a full time working mother. >> but luckily i found nutrafol. >> my hair was getting stronger and thicker. >> i finally feel like myself again. >> this is how ag1 works to

>> listen, wherever you get your podcasts. >> and we are back with richard haass, president emeritus of the council on foreign relations, and corey sharkey, the director of foreign and defense policy at the american enterprise institute. corey, it seems to me the biggest issue on which there is potentially a divide is china. trump said he wanted to invite xi jinping to his inaugural. who knows what's happened about that? but it you know, it suggests something which is that somebody like elon musk needs a good relationship between the u.s. and china. he needs the chinese market to justify the kind of crazy value that's placed on tesla. but there are lots of people in trumpland who want a much more hawkish policy on china. who's going to win? >> i'd bet my money on the

business wing of the trump administration, because it doesn't appear that president trump himself has very strong commitments to defense of america's allies in the region, to the independence of taiwan. i think what the president is likely to be looking for is a deal that affects trade policy with china, and that's more likely to be aligned with the business wing of trump influencers. >> what do you think? >> i hope corey is wrong. i fear she's right. but there are different camps. there's the geoeconomics, if you will, as opposed to the politics. b yeah, i thk the concern among a lot of us is that there's a deal to bead that the chinese would love to essentially give us some of what we want trade to havless of imbalance in the in the trade and in exchange, the united states would distance itself om from taiwan or other allies in the, in the region. that's that's my concern. >> i mean, if i were to put a picture of myself in trump's, you know, put myself in

trump's shoes, difficult thing to do. but you c imagine him saying, why the hell do we car about taiwan? it's ,000 miles away. it's something that's existential to them. do we really care about it? you know, it feels like that's how his gut is probably about taiwan. >> i think he has actually even said that i don't i think it would be very difficult for the china hawks like me that are in the trump administration, which i'm not to persuade the president to run the risks of an actual war with china for the indepennce of taiwan, or even possibly for the independence of other american allies who are relying on our security guarantees. >> well, do you think that this highlights a broader difference between because, you know, musk vivek ramaswamy people like that a lot of his economic guys, these are all part of a kind of world of globalized elites who want to

do deals, make trade. and that feels very different from the base of the party, which has elected trump. >> yeah. well, then you've got three camps. you've got those who mainly see the world through an economic prism. you've got those who have an isolationist or minimalist approach to the world, and then you've got those who are real china hawks. so you've got various schools of thought, and we'll just have to see how this plays out. and one possibility is donald trump doesn't come down squarely on one or the other that this is this is an administration, shall we say, that's constantly in motion and defining itself. >> what richard is trying to say is that we will pay an enormous chaos premium in a trump administration, because it's not clear that the departments will function effectively. it's not clear that the interagency process will produce policy in predictable ways, and it's not clear where the president will come down on a lot of these issues. >> where do you worry most about that, that issue of, you know, some of these people are not are new to policy,

particularly the process, i think, of pete hertzig at the defense department, the defense department. and i say this with great respect for tv hosts. >> you know, tv hosts run, you know, maybe 20 people. >> the pentagon is the largest bureaucracy in the world. millions of people, close to $1 trillion in budget. is there a danger that somebody like that will just get run by the professionals in the defense department who know how to do this backwards? >> well, it is an incredibly effective bureaucracy, and a lot of people there know how to not just make policy, but how to prevent things from happening if they don't want them to happen. but it's also in particular in the american military, you know, it's a culture of obedience, right? where if the if the senate confirms for ratification a treaty or confirms an

appointee, they are going to try and make the institution do what it what the secretary wants. and they should what worries you most? >> which appointment worries you most in the trump kash patel at the fbi, given its reach within the within the society, i think the i wouldn't call it a danger in terms of mr. hicks. >> i actually think that's the hope that if he were to get defense in a funny sort of way, the uniformed military and the civilians in the department, the office of the secretary of defense would be a constraint. so i'm actually less worried about that. i'm more worried about the ability of someone to to weaponize the justice department. >> all right. we're going to have to leave it there. thank you both. this is really good. next on gps. former president jimmy carter's funeral will be held thursday in washington. i spoke to his chief speechwriter when he was president, james fallows, about his legacy. >> the whole story with anderson cooper is a five time emmy winner for long form journalism this week. kyung lah on k-pop. the whole story with

speechwriter for president carter. jim, welcome. let me first ask you about a line that you that you wrote or said, which which went viral before before there was virality. you once said that being jimmy carter's speechwriter was like being fdr's tap dance instructor. what did you mean? why was carter so hard to coach into giving kind of eloquent speeches? >> the serious point i was trying to get at is there were certain natural gifts the world has had a chance to see, not just in jimmy carter's four years in office, but in his nearly 44 years after being in office. his gifts of vision and of principle and of global scope, and what he wanted to do, and being personable as an individual by individual level. somebody would go to little villages in africa to fight the guinea worm. somebody who would shake every single passenger's hand whenever he flew a commercial airline flight. there are also things that

jimmy carter didn't want to do that go with the performance art of being a president. one of them is giving big formal speeches. jimmy carter became president because he was so good at talking with small crowds of 2 or 300 people in the iowa caucuses in the year before he became president. he never wanted to learn to give the big formal speeches, because he thought that was sort of artificial, something he shouldn't have to spend time on. >> it was generally seen as an unsuccessful presidency. do you think? and naturally, you're partisan about it. but i just want to get your your best sense. um, was it some of these traits? he had a certain kind of stubbornness and unwillingness to play, for example, the congressional game? or was it just that these were very tough times that he was in? >> it was a terrible, terrible time for the world, for the united states, for being u.s. president. it was when the first oil shocks were setting in, and the price of gasoline was skyrocketing. worldwide.

stagflation was beginning. the democratic party was trying to find its way after lbj and vietnam. the nation had barely recovered from the watergate scandal. so that only a nation with as much going wrong for it could have given somebody like jimmy carter, with no national experience, a chance to to to be its leader. so partly it was just really difficult times. partly it was that carter, like many first term presidents, didn't recognize what he didn't know about working in washington, about about working internationally. he had some surprising in even more in retrospect, domestic successes. his energy plan was visionary. he did a lot of environmental steps that were also visionary. and he got the panama canal treaties passed by supermajorities in the senate. >> you mentioned the panama canal treaties there. back in, in in discussion now with donald trump saying that he wants to basically renegotiate them. i just wondered, what are your

thoughts on that, given how closely involved you were in the original ones, which, as i recall, were were urged on carter by the u.s. military? >> yes. and it's worth remembering that the negotiations to transfer control of the panama canal began not under this pinko jimmy carter, but under richard nixon, and then continued under gerald ford. and the reason in both cases was the increasing concern from the u.s. military. that was really that what was really a colonial outpost in panama was becoming more and more impossible to defend in 1964. there were riots in panama, where panamanians tried to sort of storm the walls of the canal zone. panama briefly broke off diplomatic relations with with the u.s. over that. and so nixon, ford and then carter all thought for national security reasons, egged on by henry kissinger and others, the u.s. had to arrange this transfer. it was a. so carter accepted that logic. i think anybody in the national security realm would say, this is onegreat achievements of carter's time

and of american diplomacy. >> if you were to have written his obituary for the new york times or the washington post, what would be the first couple of lines? what's the headline about jimmy carter that, you know, one should one should tell people who may know very little about him. >> like many of us, i had the odd circumstance of writing a pre obit about two years ago when jimmy carter went into hospice and carter had the sort of mordant pleasure of seeing himself appreciated while he could still read these things. and what i wrote then in the atlantic is something i would stand by, which was he was a an unlucky president and a lucky man. that luck broke against him in many ways during his time in office. you know, from the iranian hostage situation to the rescue mission to to many other ways. but he then had the luck to bring out the best in himself, the best in fellow citizens, the best in

what he hoped to bring to the world worldwide, to see be around long enough to see his own record in office reassessed, and to set the kind of example he would like his life to stand for. >> james fallows, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you, sir fareed. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> next on gps, where is the global economy headed in 2025? ruchir sharma, the investor and the author will give us his always sharp analysis after the break. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> people who may never even know what a basketball looks like felt his presence. >> he wants the opportunity to make his own mistakes. he's going to end up making them. >> that's when the black mamba was born. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just the basketball player. >> kobe. the making of a

what what has gone up has to come down. >> well, fareed, i've been a big fan of america, and it's had an incredible outperformance streak, both in economic terms and even more so in market terms. and we have this really unusual situation today where in economic terms, if you look at america's share in the global economy is just below 30%. but if you look at the global stock markets and the main indices, their america's share in that now is approaching 70%. and i don't disagree with that. that america is the home of capitalism in many ways and of financialization and capital markets. but if you look at the last century in more than half of those decades, the american stock market in fact, underperformed the rest of the world. so it's not a straight line that america just keeps outperforming. and we go through these phases. the 2000, the 1970s or even before that, when the rest of the world has done much better than america. but today we are in a space

where there's a massive rush of capital into only one country, and there are fault lines that have been built here. and principally in that, i think, is the debt situation that today america's debt situation is in a league of its own. no country in the world today, at least, major nation is running a budget deficit of more than 6% of gdp. and that too, when you have pretty much full employment and at such an advanced stage of the economic cycle, no other country in the world would be able to get away with that. and we're seeing the consequences of that from brazil to uk to france. but america thinks that it can get away with it because it's got the world's reserve currency. it's the world's premier economy. i think that that situation is going to be proven to be unsustainable in 2025. >> so if america and the american market is likely to go down, what nations are what are the who are the new comeback kids? >> you know, the most interesting story in 2024 and controversial one possibly has

been argentina, you know, which has really sort of gutted its economy. it's got a very controversial leader at the top, and yet the best performing market in the world in dollar terms in over the past year was argentina. and i think that you've got a smattering of other of these countries in the developing world which are doing well. india gets some attention, but apart from india, there have also been some really surprising countries that are doing okay. there are some of these frontier markets from sri lanka to kenya. but more than that, even in the mainstream emerging markets, if you look at even china, a country again, i've been very bearish on and we've spoken about, i feel the bearishness on china now is really overdone. people think that china is uninvestable and yet there are some gems to be found in that market because things have gotten so ridiculously cheap. >> you talk about two phenomena that that you think are overly hyped. one is almost a sacrilege to say these days, which is i. you say

that i actually might have more complicated effects for technology companies. i mean, everyone thought a.i. is booming, so of course the big tech companies will profit. but you say not so fast. >> yeah, if you look at the past revolutions, whether it's the internet revolution or even the shale oil revolution, you, the established firms were never the big winners of those. there were new kids on the block that came out, and there were winners. so my point here is not so much about questioning a.i. as such. i think that yes, over time i will benefit a lot of people, but it's like, who's going to really make money out of this? because a.i. has set off this huge gold rush, particularly among american firms, where they're just spending like crazy. one question we have always had is that these mega-cap tech firms, what's going to possibly bring something to close their massive outperformance because they keep outperforming, they keep printing these great

profits. and ironically, i could be the undoing of the big cap tech firms because they spend so much on it. and investors soon begin to question, okay, where are the returns and if history is any guide. they are not the people who are going to benefit the most from this. >> ritu sharma, pleasure as always. >> thanks, fareed. >> and that's it. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. happy 2025. >> the whole story with anderson cooper is a five time emmy winner for long form journalism this week. kyung lah on k-pop. the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at eight on cnn. >> aew is walking into the future. >> new year, new era. >> aew is now streaming on max, where the best wrestling. >> all elite wrestling now streaming on max. >> i'm going to give you this
