Discussion on the Struggle for Democracy and Extreme Rhetoric

Today on the show, Fareed is joined by an expert panel to discuss the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer, New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos, and CNN presidential historian Timothy Naftali all join to talk about the political implications of the attack and growing global concerns surrounding the health of American democracy. 

Next, CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller joins Fareed to discuss how the shooter was able to carry out his attack, despite the high levels of security present at the rally in Pennsylvania.
