Episode notes

Airdate June 21 2020: Fareed gives his Take on John Bolton's new tell all book on the inner workings of the Trump administration. In all the books revelations Fareed says one thing is made clear: "that the real problem with Donald Trump is not his ignorance or his policies, but his character." Bolton paints yet another picture of the Ukraine scandal. In a rare commentary on such issues former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko weighs in on U.S.-Ukraine relations. Then, to annex or not to annex? Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is eyeing territories in the West Bank. Why now? Netanyahu's predecessor Ehud Olmert explains. And, a new series on GPS - best practices for beating Covid-19. New York Times China correspondent Vivian Wang tells Fareed what we can learn from Wuhan, and how the former epicenter for the pandemic transformed to be a potential model for how to beat it. Finally, Malcolm Gladwell on race and policing in America.
