On today’s show, Fareed is joined by Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado for an exclusive interview. In the interview, she discusses the aftermath of her country’s disputed election and why she still has hope for Venezuela’s future despite the threats she says she and her allies face from the Maduro regime.
Nervousness reigns in the Middle East as the region braces for possible retaliation from Iran and Hezbollah following recent assassinations of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. New York Times Magazine contributing editor Ronen Bergman tells Fareed about the mood in Israel and the growing desire for a ceasefire within the Israeli defense establishment.
Next, Maha Yahya, director of the Carnegie Middle East Center, speaks with Fareed about the fear of a larger war in the Middle East. She discusses Lebanon’s perspective and the hope for an agreement that she believes could de-escalate the entire region.
Then Derek Thompson of the Atlantic comes on the show to tell Fareed about the role gender is likely to play in the US presidential election, arguing that it will be a central factor, but not in the way you might expect.
Finally, Charles Duhigg talks to Fareed about his book Supercommunicators and gives some practical tips for building relationships and having healthier conversations.
