and so earlier we had a chance to speak with fareed zakaria from zakaria gps. would this be likely?efore, and we have seen the development that china went through when it went nuclear. the united states. has always been very sober, and very restrained, and we have always let them be the crazy is guys, and we would be the grown-ups and restrain and sober, but in this case, it does feel as though trump personally can't stand the idea that kim jong-un gets the last word. he seems that he needs to counter punch, and remember a couplef times i think that it is kellyanne conway who said that he is always going the counter punch and what applies in domestic policy also applies in foreign policy, because if he punches, it is a need for them to counter punch, and it is not a good idea, because it is causing a needless escalation. in the case of the united states, our words are watched very carefully for a kind of credibility, and nobody thinks that kim juong-un is credible, but the president of the united states is meant to say things that have a kred bt behind them, and that we backup, and

fareed zakaria breaks it down with me next.here's a seriousy boomers virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work. the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us it's time to get tested. ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. it's the only way to know for sure. ostriches don't really stick vitheir heads in the sand.ve horns on their helmets. and a real john deere is actually real affordable. you learn something new everyday. the surprisingly affordable john deere e series tractors. when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night... so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?!? with liberty mutual's 24-hour roadside assistance, get a jump, tow, and more - any time of day. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free

fareed zakaria is back with he. marches on, the president is making his debut at the united nations general assembly. we're talking about an america first president. he's expected to deliver a deeply -- this is quote from the administration -- deeply philosophical address in rational terms for a global audience. what do you think that means? what are you expecting? >> well, i worried when i heard that because to the extent that donald trump has a philosophy and it's one he's had for a long time, it's been a kind of ininstinctative feeling that the rest of the world is trying to rip the united states off, that it should not lead the world really, it should take care of itself. and it's exactly the wrong message for the world at this point. we're living in a time of enormous change, and a lot of people are looking for some sense of what is the direction forward? you know, what is the north star we can look to? is it greater openness, greater sense of international cooperation? is it a greater sense of -- you know, sea

i'm going to discuss all of that with fareed zakaria. is this a phone? or a little internet machine? it makes you wonder: shouldn't we get our phones and internet from the same company? that's why xfinity mobile comes with your internet. you get up to 5 lines of talk and text at no extra cost. so all you pay for is data. see how much you can save. choose by the gig or unlimited. xfinity mobile. a new kind of network designed to save you money. call, visit, or go to xfinitymobile.com. >>> tom price's resignation as health and human services secretary and the embarrassment he brought on to the white house capping a really, really bad week for president trump. i want to bring in now fareed zakaria. hell of a week and lots to discuss. i want to start with tom price and his resignation over this private jet incident. i thought this president and i'm not being facetious here was going to drain the swamp. >> to me honestly that was perhaps the most appealing part about trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail. and i honestly didn't find a lot that was appealing.

i want to talk about this now with fareed zakaria, the host of fareed zakaria gps. serious. it's disturbing that the president, president trump would take this path because historically what american presidents have done is actually try to tamp down these kind of fl flames. so when china was going nuclear, the united states did not respond provocatively. they watched. they waited. the idea was let's see what happens. this is one bomb, one test. the trump administration seems to be of two minds, but the president every now and then almost seems like he just gets enraged or irritated and he unleashes this kind of stuff. now, of course, it's going to produce a result on the other side because that's their style. >> can i read the other side? because this is the latest war of words just a few hours ago. kim jong-un issuing a fiery statement here about president trump. he says, he is unfit to hold the prerogative of the supreme command of the country. and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire rather than a politician. i will make the man holding t

. >> this nois something fareed zakaria said last night. we have to face the fact there are first class and second class citizens in the united states. puerto ricans feel they are second class. some of the president's words reinforced the idea they've being tweeted as such. this falls in president trump's race problem, whether it's charlottesville or last weekend, black ooathletes in the nfl and nba. talking about us versus them. i would just point out, hurricane mayor made landfall ten days ago. two days after, the president was in alabama, trying to rally support for luther strange, unsuccessfully. talked about the nfl, lots of other topics. he then went back to his golf course in new jersey and did nothing about the relief effort. now, we're eight or ten days later and he's going on a tweet form abo storm about it. the when the history is written we'll look back at the first days. i will argue i didn't pay enough attention as a reporter. we were thankful cnn has crews there. there's a lot of reasons why, on the initial days after this di

welcome to the united states and around the world, i'm fareed zakaria. >> the iranian government masks behind the false guise of democracy. >> the response to donald trump. president trump threatened to tear up the nuclear deal. i will ask the man who negotiated that deal, iran's foreign minister, how his country will react. >>> then, afghanistan. donald trump has expanded america's involvement in what is now its longest war. i ask afghanistan's president if the fighting will ever end and about his somewhat surprising friendship with president trump. >> you are one of the few world leaders i think who has generally been happy with the trump administration. >> i am. >>> all that and much more on "gps" today. first, here's my take. president trump's speech to the united nations was well delivered but it was a strange mishmash of topics and tones. there was one overriding three people, the embrace of nationalism. in striking that chord, donald trump did something unusual, perhaps unique for an american president. he encouraged, even embraced the rise of a post-american world. first, the m

here to discuss all of this now is fareed zakaria. good to have you on. i want to get your reaction to this breaking news, that the government wiretapped the former trump campaign chairman paul manafort before and after the election. what do you think? >> well, what we know about paul manafort and his dealings, it certainly seemed as though there were a lot of things he was doing that were, shall we say, unorthodox. he was playing footsie with a lot of governments, with a lot of opposition movements that were unsavory, that were large cash transfers. i'm talking about in the millions and millions of dollars. so it doesn't surprise me that, you know, it appears there's something here that is a violation of the law. obviously, everybody is innocent until proven guilty. but certainly on the basis of what we have read in places like "the new york times" and "the washington post," paul manafort had played -- it seemed as though he had done things that were at the very least touching the edge of the law. if not crossing over. >> it was interesting because durin

. >> i had fareed zakaria and he said we have a president who is not governing. >> he's struggling for govern and he doesn't have anyone in congress he hasn't insulted to do business with. so if you start off by telling everyone off, how do you do a deal with them? this is really mind boggling. but i think the american people are very generous. they'll give them a reset at some point. >> can you tell us how you really feel? that was sarcasm. i hear you in the background, steven. president trump hasn't had much success getting congress to pass any of his legislative items. why does he think he's going to have success with this one? >> well, look, by the way he's got to be a pretty good deal maker because he's made a lot of amazing real estate deals over his lifetime. but he's going to be put to the test. we've got a full sledge slative agenda, the tax plan, the debt ceiling, putting a budget together to fund all the government programs.'s a little difficult to put together a deal when you're dealing with a priority that has said we're against anything you want to do. we're against build

i had fareed zakaria sitting there where you are now.id the president now is not governing. people are thinking of him as the outsourcing president -- should we start to think of him like that? >> if you start off by telling everyone off, how do you do a deal with them? and this is really mind-boggling. but i think the american people are very generous. they'll give him a reset at some point. >> next time i have you on, can you tell us how you really feel? i hear you in the background, steven. president trump hasn't had much success getting congress to pass any of his legislative items. why does he think he's going to have much success with this one, this one is going to be different? >> by the way, he's got to be a pretty good deal maker because he's made billions of dollars over his lifetime. he's got to deal with the debt ceiling. he's got to deal with putting the budget together to fund all the government programs. i'll say this. it's a little difficult to put together a deal when you're dealing with authority that has basically said

welcome to the united states and around the world, i'm fareed zakaria. >> the iranian government masksof democracy. >> the response to donald trump. president trump threatened to tear up the nuclear deal. i will ask the man who negotiated that deal, iran's foreign minister, how his country will react.

i want to bring in few fareed zakaria. hell of a week and lots to discuss. want to start with tom price and his resignation over this private jet incident. i thought this president and i'm not being facetious here was going to drain the swamp. >> to me honestly that was perhaps the most appealing part about trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail. and i honestly didn't find a lot that was appealing. but the part about draining the swamp resonated because, you know and i know it's true. washington is run by lobbyists. the system is rigged. there are enormous advantages that big money have because of the unique way that the united states runs its campaigns where we fund our campaigns essentially through the private sector, which is very unusual in western democracies. you have this enormous dependence and these lobbyists have all this power. and trump did seem like somebody who came from the outside. and yet what has happened is i think "usa today" had a study that showed 100 lobbyists have been hired in the trump administration. 15 in the executive office of t
