i'm fareed zakaria. we have a great show for you today. as you know, the big question mark in the arab world remains saudi arabia. will the central banker of oil be the next one to face revolt and revolution? a fascinating conversation with the 26th richest man in the world, saudi prince al waleed. >>> later, who says only mother nature can make rain? we'll explain. >>> but first up -- the chances of peace in the middle east after the latest round of speeches by prime minister netanyahu and president obama. i'll be joined by tom friedman of "the new york times" who is just back from the middle east. >>> now, here's my take for this week. we've just gone through an arcane debate about whether barack obama said anything new when he called for an israeli/palestinian settlement based on 1967 borders with mutually agreed upon land swaps. in fact, that has been the working assumption of all negotiating parties, america, israel and the palestinian authority, for over 20 years. it is what the camp david talks of 2000 were based on, it's what elmer

i'm fareed zakaria. we have a terrific show for you today. first up, one of our grand tours around the world with an all-star panel. we have more of my conversation with condoleezza rice, stanford professor will give a grade to president obama. and to donald rumsfeld who slammed her in his recent memoirs. >> don is a friend but is a grumpy buy. he is. he doesn't know what he's talking about. >> fascinating discussion with google's executive chairman eric schmidt about the great babble between apple and google. why it matters who will win. here is my take. pakistan's military has been embarrassed, to put it mildly, by the suspicion it must have known where bin laden was hiding. in response it is using its old tricks. hoping to ride out the storm as it has in the past. it is leaking stories to favor right journalists, all with the aim of stoking anti-americanism in pakistan. having been caught in a situation that suggests either complicity with al qaeda or gross incompetence and the realities frontally a bit of both, it is now furiously trying

we'll be talking to fareed zakaria in a moment. first, let me give you a taste of what the president had to say. >> we have the chance to show that america values dignity of the street vendor in tunisia more than the raw power of the dictator. there must be no doubt that the united states of america welcomes change that advances serm determination and opportunity. yes, there will be perils that accompany this moment of promise. but after decades of accepting the world as it is in the region, we have a chance to pursue the world as it should be. >> the president and the white house billed this as a major address today. had a lot to lump into the speech. he said throughout the arab world a new generation has emerged and has presented the united states with an historic opportunity to assert its values. also said that, across the region peaceful voices for change have accomplished more in the past section months than terrorists accomplished in decades. also, what's happening in libya, gadhafi's days are numbered. also accused the assad

up next for our viewers here in the united states, "fareed zakaria: gps." >> this is "gps," the global public square. to all of you in the united states and around the world, welcome to tahrir square in cairo. this was, of course, the scene of the january 25th revolution, the heart of the arab spring, and we're here today to check in on that revolution four months later. in just a moment, i'll be speaking with some of the revolutionaries, the young people in the streets who made this all come alive. then we'll tell you the sad, ironic story about egypt's plummeting economy. and finally, the two top presidential candidates in egypt, two former office mates now rivals. >>> let me first give you some of my own thoughts, having spent some time in cairo and actually listened to president obama's speech from here in tahrir square. the president's speech was remarkably comprehensive. it described the events that we now call the arab spring, explain their causes and consequences. he placed the united states squarely behind the democratic wave everywhere. though he didn't specifically mention o

fareed zakaria, thanks very much. let's get right to this man.ss-kahn. were you shocked, like all of us, or is this something that we should have been bracing? >> no, i was completely shocked. i know him professionally. he is one of the smartest people you can find in the world really on macro economic policy. he was a perfect head of the imf in that sense, in the sense that his professional capacities were in some ways unmatched. he was a very good finance minister of france. presided over a period of growth for the french economy, cut the deficit. you know, in professional terms, he was highly competent, he was also very arctic lat and a charming conversationalist. i was stunned. >> i read one of the recent interviews you had with him on your show. you pressed him hard about whether he wanted to get back into politics, run for the presidency of france. he didn't want to get anywhere near any of that. >> he's very savvy. the issue was he could not be seen as using the imf platform and running for a political campaign in france. because remember

"the new york times" reported that president obama held such off the record session was cnn's fareed zakaria about this on eliot spitzer's show. >> it says the president of the united states called you for wisdom and advice about issues around the world. when he calls you, what does he say hi, barack, calling for fareed. what does he do? >> mostly it has been face-to-face meetings. usually -- organized by tom donelan. >> glenn beck said -- a stunning revelation for working journalist to admit he has private discussion on policy with a sitting u.s. president. he says his policy is not to discuss private meetings. zakaria said he never gave obama advice or counsel on policy. he is a comment eight tator and not a reporter. it gave him a sense of the president's thinking and used to have the same kinds of meet wings, for example, condi rice. i agree with fareed last point part of what he is getting at the white house is high-level spin. that's why i think that the fact of the meetings should have been disclosed. he says that's not part of the arrangement but should be otherwise people will have

joining me to talk about the chance for a new direction in the region is fareed zakaria.week will not soon be forgotten. sort of change the techtonic plates in the regions. what are the options we've got in pakistan to accomplish them? >> it's a great way to think about this, elliott. we forget, we get so emeshed in these places. al qaeda found a way into afghanistan, and then from afghanistan into pakistan created bases, created a command and control center. this is our principal interest, deny them an opportunity to have a command and control center. i would say we have a secondary interest, which is largely in pakistan and not in afghanistan. afghanistan is a messed up country. it's messed up, dysfunctional, it's not that relevant. pakistan is six times the size in op pags of afghanistan. it has 100 nuclear weapons. it is half the size of the entire err rab world, and it has probably the most virulent streeps of jihad diism as any country in the world right now. so we have more interest in pakistan than we have in afghanistan by far. >> it seems to me we have done bett

fareed zakaria said for every $4 we spend on the elderly, we spend $1 on kids. >> right.he says education, which i fully agree with. retraining because we have a very large population that are just not trained for the jobs that we need them to be trained for and innovation which would be tax credits. >> this is not an issue on which we disagree because when i talk about investments, i was specifically talking about investments that ultimately would create large numbers of jobs. that would include investments in education. i think we should have a tremendous investment in infrastructure and certainly on innovation. so that's moving in a direction that i'm in favor of. >> we can't do everything. so we have to cut back on some of those comfortable welfare benefits for the middle class. >> some of the problems on the hill right now, i don't think it's possible -- i don't think it's workable. one, tax cuts -- tax hikes are off the table. that's one thing. and they want cuts that are going to bring down the deficits while at the same time saying that we have to maintain a safet

on cnn's "fareed zakaria: gps" today, the courier was first identified during the bush administration. >> i think it was about four years ago in 2007, we had built up sufficient lead information on the name of the courier that we thought it was ready for presidential primetime. so we briefed it to the president not as something imminent, but as our most promising lead to track down bin laden. >> so this is classic human intelligence. you had people on the ground. they talked to people. they developed relationships. is that right? >> it is. but it also came out of detainee interrogations. one of the more prominent leads we had at the beginning of this exercise was partial identity information that came out of detainees that we were holding in our so-called black sites. then from that point, we used all the tools of intelligence. i can't go into detail, but i can assure you it was signals intelligence and imagery intelligence and human intelligence that allowed us to build this. fareed, this wasn't done one brick at a time. this was actually done one pebble at a time. >> so hayden also

former cia director michael hayden was a guest today on cnn's "fareed zakaria: gps."our we heard him talk about the courier who unwittingly led them to obama's doorstep. he said the ci airks began keeping tabs on that courier four years ago. hayden also talked about obama' decision to launch the raid on bin laden's compound. >> i would have been very worried. i know my friends at the agency were very worried. but frankly, fareed, this was a courages you choice on the part of the president. make no mistake about it. in addition to being courageous, i think it was also inevitable. this was the very best chance we had to kill or capture this target. the president had choices. made more difficult because even as those helicopters were going over the wall, everything we had on this facility, the belief that bin laden was there, was truly circumstantial. there were no sightings. nothing that you can point to and say, that's it. that's him. so the president made this decision even in the face of uncertainty. that requires some courage. but, frankly, i cannot imagine any amer

fareed zakaria is live in cairo with his impregsz on this middle east speech. what did you make of this speech by the president fareed, today? it was really a sweeping look at the region, though some countries such as saudi arabia were not mentioned. >> hala, it was his role as educator in chief that came out today. he provided a kind of world view, almost a historical interpretation of the causes and consequences of the arab spring. he began in the beginning with tunisia and moved forward. he tried to present a way in which he saw america's interests and values as squarely aligned with this arab revolution. he touched on the places that we don't like, the regimes we don't like that are having trouble dealing with people. tehran, damascus. he also talked about bahrain an yemen. but you are right, of course, he didn't talk about the 800-pound gorilla that is saudi arabia. but he also then went on to talk about ways to consolidate these revolutions, talking about the arab-israeli peace process. he's tougher on syria than he has been. he was more explicit in his su

in one of the pieces that you worked on with fareed zakaria, something where the government spear headsd people that have 30, 40 years to live but don't work. >> absolutely. we have all heard about the mansession. older men, above 50 have been hard hit by this. retraining should happen across all age groups, we think. but there are other ways to grow the jobs market. we can look at growth industries, health care, entertainment, tourism, these are areas that america is very strong in globally and could become stronger in. >> how much is the fight in washington to make sure that spending is cut, that we are down to bare bones, effective innovation when it comes to finding new and creative ways to create jobs? >> i think you can make a strong case that it has a lot of countries and companies that invest in innovation and grab market share. we have a story about prat and whitney. this company over the last ten years has grown an area of innovation. they have thousands of new jobs to show for it. >> you talk interestingly enough about what it takes from that one engineering student to be hir
