  • Obscene

    So the American media and its Talking Heads are going to treat this aggression in the same way it treated Iraq? Is it that you’re stupid or is it that you think we are all stupid?

  • Fareed’s extreme bias.

    I cannot listen anymore. Up until today, I’ve had utmost respect for fared, even when he had guests who had their own agenda that went unchallenged. However, today’s take was pure propaganda. Seriously, fareed, Israel did not pressure Trump not anything. Even if you believe that, where is your proof? Happily unsubscribed.

  • Resharing the reality recently! Not a good show anymore!

    I followed Fareed Zakaria’s work for years — watching his show, reading his books, and respecting his analysis. But recently, I feel the program no longer presents reality honestly. Instead, it seems to reshape and transform facts to fit a specific narrative, often ignoring other perspectives and misrepresenting complex issues.

    Rather than helping viewers understand the world, the show now feels like an attempt to influence how people think by distorting reality. Because of this loss of trust, ... more

  • Global dynamics

    No one mentioned the fact that the European Union is trying to regulate the AI boys. Trump places Europe as least favored because they’re like a university elite? Lord. No mention of Putin. Naïve baby guests who think themselves the elite. Grow up. Still doing the oh my gosh what is trump up to now?! Ridiculous.

  • Unfortunate Decline

    Previously I found Fareed’s journalism and unbiased objectivity refreshing and engaging.

    However recently under this new administration It’s clear that this network and the propaganda machine which is MURCA, has seriously impacted and diluted his work. Unfollowed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UN Nuclear Chief on Iran’s Nuclear Program; Where is the War with Iran Headed?
Q: Is the war illegal under international law?
The host and guests frame diplomacy as the first resort, noting that conclusions on legality are debated among experts, with emphasis on seeking peaceful resolution within the UN framework rather than unilateral action.
UN Nuclear Chief on Iran’s Nuclear Program; Where is the War with Iran Headed?
Q: What are the options for the United States right now?
The preferred path is reaching an agreement where inspectors can verify stockpiles and activities, but military options are discussed cautiously due to the risk of escalation and uncertainty about the full extent of Iran's capabilities.
War in Iran Intensifies; Will Oil Prices Keep Rising?
Q: Could an off-ramp exist, or is there no way back from deep escalation?
There may be mediation options (e.g., Oman or Qatar), but the guest warned that once certain actions are taken, the options narrow, and there may be little room to backtrack safely.
War in Iran Intensifies; Will Oil Prices Keep Rising?
Q: What explains Netanyahu's eagerness and his calculation that this regime would collapse?
The guest argued that operational success did not translate into strategic collapse; the regime is more resilient than anticipated, and decapitation attempts do not guarantee regime change, creating a gap in off-ramps and increasing the likelihood of prolonged conflict.
War with Iran: Reactions from Biden’s National Security Adviser; Will the Kurds Be Pulled into the Fighting?
Q: What is the lesson China is taking from the current conflict?
China is learning tactical lessons to secure energy supply and strategic lessons about a new era where big powers feel emboldened to act with force without strict adherence to international law, which could affect its approach toward Taiwan and willingness to push back against U.S. leadership.
