| 10/18/26 | Haggling With Trump’s America, the Russian Diesel Deal, Yemen’s Civil War | Canada and the US have long enjoyed the ultimate friendly-neighbor arrangement — defined by close economic ties, shared security interests and mutual trust. Then came Donald Trump, whose aggressive trade policy against Canada has led to an all-out trade war in his second term. Fareed sits down to discuss with former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Donald Trump is facing backlash — even from Republicans — over his Russian diesel deal, which could hand Vladimir Putin a financial lifeline. But will the deal even do what Trump wants it to do, which is to help US consumers? Fareed asks Jason Bordoff, a former Obama White House senior energy policy official. Saudi Arabia has the biggest economy in the Middle East, and one of the world's most expensive military arsenals. So why is it so vulnerable to attacks from the Houthis, the Iran-backed Yemeni rebel group? Fareed asks Bernard Haykel, professor of Near Eastern studies at Princeton.

| 10/4/26 | Bill Maher on the Midterms, AI Worldwide, the Future of Free Trade | Fareed sits down with the ever-opinionated comedian Bill Maher, who aims his political arrows at both the right and the left, to discuss the midterm elections and the future of the Democratic Party. Then, Fareed hears from Brett McGurk, former Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa under President Biden. McGurk has a new book out on his most recent spell in the White House called "Brink: Inside the Race to Free the October 7 Hostages." Later, AI is not one-size-fits-all. It presents very different opportunities — and risks — for developed countries and developing countries. Fareed speaks with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and World Bank President Ajay Banga to discuss how this technology is being used in different parts of the world. Finally, despite all the stressors on the global economy, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala still says she is fundamentally optimistic about the future of free trade. She joins Fareed to discuss what is giving her hope. GUESTS: Bill Maher (@billmaher), Brett McGurk (@brett_mcgurk), Kyriakos Mitsotakis (@kmitsotakis), Ajay Banga, Ngozi Okonio-Iweala (@NOIweala) Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/27/26 | Leaders on Ukraine and Russia, Serbia’s President on Political Flux, Bill Gates on AI Risks | Today on a special UNGA edition of the show, Fareed speaks with the leaders of two nations that have been ardent supporters of Ukraine since the war: Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, of Norway, and President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, about the prospects for peace. Then, Fareed sits down with France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot to discuss France’s leadership in pushing for a more integrated and independent Europe, and the surge in French right-wing populism. Later, Remember the "Butcher of Bosnia"? AKA Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian-Serb commander convicted of war crimes for his role in the Balkans war of the 1990s? He received a hero's funeral in Serbia with military honors after his death last month. This comes amid a worrying surge in Serbian nationalism. Fareed asks the Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić about it. Finally, Bill Gates joins Fareed to discuss how to mitigate the risks posed by AI and whether there are certain jobs that should always remain in the hands of human beings. Guests: Jonas Gahr Støre (@jonasgahrstore), Alexander Stubb (@alexstubb), Jean-Noël Barrot (@jnbarrot), Aleksandar Vučić (@avucic), Bill Gates (@BillGates) Learn more about your ad choices.

Then, Fareed is joined by Poland’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister Radek Sikorski to discuss Russia’s threats to NATO and Europe’s support for Ukraine. Later, Fareed speaks with a Ukrainian commander whose deep strike unit is taking the fight right to the heart of Russia, as intensified air warfare transforms the conflict’s dynamics. Finally, Fareed talks to Iryna Chechotkina, the co-founder and co-owner of Rosetta, an e-commerce giant that is often called the "Amazon of Ukraine" about the company’s rise and resolve amid Russian attacks.
