advance towards kharkiv in a new offensive i will talk about the state of both wars with general david portrays who has been described as the most effective american military commander. >> since eisenhower then the six-week long election in the world's largest democracy will soon drawing to a close and india's prime minister modi, as perhaps on the brink of winning a third term but what is his record on the economy? and what about fears of democratic decayed i'll ask the former head of india's central bank and at a time when journalists across the globe are under siege, i'm joined by pulitzer prize winner nick christophe in decades of reporting, he's witnessed the best and worst humanity has to offer. i'll ask him why he remains stubbornly hopeful but

first here's my take. >> something very unusual is happening in israel. senior military officials have begun voicing criticism of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's conduct of the war in gaza it's media has been reporting on a weekend security meeting at which the chief of staff of the israeli defense forces, general herzi halevi criticized netanyahu's lack of a clear strategy pointing out that the israeli military had re-entered northern gaza an area it claimed to have cleared in january. he warned that unless there was a plan to set up some kind of non hamas government in these areas. the idf would have to keep repeating these kinds of operations endlessly. israel's defense minister yoav gallant, has gone further publicly criticizing the prime minister, pointing out that the day after hamas will only be achieved by actors who replaced

hamas and declaring that you would not permit israel to try to govern gaza directly. the new york times reported on others within the israeli military making similar criticisms as essential pfeffer rights in haaretz, these briefings to the press have been synchronized as part as what can only be a coordinated briefing against the prime minister the reason for these extraordinary descent said the time of war, is that israeli officials have begun to realize what american officials have been warning them about four months. that without a strategy to create stable governance in gaza, they will face a continuing insurgency just as the us stayed in afghanistan and iraq, there is evidence it is already happening. israeli forces have been forced back into jabalya twice, and they have returned three times a to the recent in controversial raid on the al-shifa hospital

was the second effort showing that the initial success that's what's not lasting. >> there with us secretary of state antony blinken noted last sunday, we've seen in areas that israel has cleared in the north, even in khan younis, hamas coming back, much has been written about whether the israeli military has been careful or careless in its concern for civilian casualties when conducting its attacks. >> in gaza. >> but the larger point has to do with its counterinsurgency strategy itself in america's only successful counterinsurgen cy campaign in recent memory, the surge in iraq. >> it's strategy was designed to protect the civilian population isolate the insurgence and then crush them to that end. general david petraeus work tirelessly with iraq, sydney's, the community spawning the insurgency to win them over, give them a stake in iraq's government. and thus isolate the insurgence and the malicious.

>> he then use lethal force against those militias. this is almost the inverse of israel strategy, which has been first and foremost, to go after hamas, guns blazing with very little regard for winning the hearts and minds of gaza's civilian population. prime minister netanyahu's argument against post-war plans and operations is that the war isn't over. and in his words, there is no alternative to military victory. the attempt to bypass it with this or that claim is simply detached from reality baby has repeatedly said that he would continue the war until he achieves total victory, by which he presumably means either a surrender by hamas or its total eradication the biden administration has from early on in the war believed that bb strategy was flawed because there was no way to defeat hamas militarily without a political strategy to isolate it and offer an alternative that had some

credibility and legitimacy that was why the biden administration wanted to begin discussions with the palestinian authority and a group of arab states like egypt and saudi arabia to make plans for reconstruction and governance in a non hamas gaza netanyahu has refused to consider any such plans bibi netanyahu refuses to talk about the post-war because he knows that his own post-war future is bleak many israelis continued to hold him responsible for the policies that led to the october 7 attack when new elections to be called, he would likely lose office and then face an ongoing prosecution, as well as potential inquiries about the failures that led to october 7, all of this can be pushed off as long as he insists on hamas surrender, which he will not get, but which will keep the world going on in it is a strategy not designed to secure

israel's future, but rather his own go to cnn.com slash fareed for link to my washington post column this week. and let's get started so you heard what i had to say. what does a better war strategy for his were look like joining me now is former cia director and retired us army general david portrays whom i mentioned in my take, he commanded american and coalition troops, both in iraq get and afghanistan david, welcome first, let me ask you to explain what was the heart of your strategy in iraq, which worked, you were battling an insurgency, a bunch of terrorists militias column what you will and your us had not been able to really eradicate

those terrorists. >> what did you do well, first and foremost, we committed to making life better for innocent iraqi civilians. >> and we pledged that we would get al-qaeda in extremist group irreconcilable similar to hamas, out of their midst, we would clear their neighborhoods, their cities of al-qaeda. and then we would keep them out of those cities and neighborhoods would create gated communities. 12 of them alone and felicia, which has already completely encircled by cement to keep them out. and then you have biometric id cards. we would flood the area immediately with humanitarian assistance, then restore basic services, and then go about the comprehensive reconstruction rebuilding all of the damaged infrastructure, restoring schools markets, clinics, bridges, roads that had been blown up by al-qaeda n by the other of the most dangerous suni in groups. and then keep the pressure on those groups

constantly going after them, after having cleared comprehensively from the populated areas. but the key was the hold and the build. we're seeing in gaza. the clip clearing. the problem is if you don't hold, again, keep the people separate from in this case hamas, which is again an extremist group akin to the islamic state. it's irreconcilable. but if you don't separate them from the population and keep them separate you only have to go back and re clear because extremist groups, if they're not kept out, we'll reconstitute. we saw it ultimately at the end of the three-and-a-half year period after the surge which drove violence down by nearly 90% and it continued to go down even as we drew down in the subsequent three-and-a-half years until their withdrawal of our final comments. et forces. and prime minister molecule taking highly sectarian actions that took a security forces eyes off the islamic state. they were able to reconstitute and of course, within two years, you had the first ever islamist extremist caliphate in northern iraq, in northeastern syria. look, i

want to see israel succeed. i believe hamas does need to be destroyed. what they did so knocked over seventh was absolutely barbaric and horrific and unspeakable and it's an example that you've got to get them out of control of the people and out of the governance of gaza. and obviously there has to be then some kind of vision for what the future will be in. of course, it's interesting to see the minister of defense yoav so get a lot. and then also the chief of staff of the israeli defense forces calling for the establishment of a vision for a midterm and a longer-term. because if you don't know where you're going as they say, any road will take you there when you were doing the surge, it seemed to me the most important piece or a v very important piece was the outreach you made to the broader population to the sunni leaders the insurgency was a sunni insurgency and you basically you've had more and more troops, you had you had a

military strategy, but you also add a political strategy of reconciliation right very much so so again, reach it out to the sunni's and saying, look, your lives have not been particularly good with al-qaeda and the sunni insurgents in your midst and in your neighborhoods. we're going to help you get them out at the very least, don't oppose us at the very best. let's reconcile. we ultimately reconciles hold with as many as 80,000 former suni insurgents and others. many of them just in the wrong place at the wrong time and trying to survive. and then we did the same actually with the shia militia supported by iran about 23,000 of them we did it initially directly with them. eventually we able to hand it off and get the iraqi government to embrace that as well. i do think it is an example for this situation, noting, by the way, that fallujah ramadi, mosul by cuba and baghdad altogether are not anywhere near as difficult as the context in gaza. where you

have 350 miles of subterranean infrastructure very well-organized enemy knows the neighborhoods really well, uses civilians as human shields. and of course as still 100 plus hostages in addition to a variety of other factors, this is the most fiendishly difficult context imaginable, but it is doable. >> dave, i think i visited you first when you were a two-star in muzzle and you were beginning to implement some of your counterinsurgency ideas and correct me if i'm wrong, but i recall seeing a assigned and in your in your office which said, have are actions created, they created more terrorists than we have killed or something like that, isn't that applicant for sure they're really sorry, right and isn't that applicable today? >> absolutely. there were two signs actually. one was what have we done for the iraqi people today and then the

second was will this operation take more bad guys off the street than it creates by its conduct. if the answer to that is no. in other words, you're not going to take more off than you create you're supposed to read tool the operation and figure out how to get to yes. without which you go sit under a tree until the thought passes. so how you carry this out matters enormously. you've got to demonstrate your concern for the people. and this is why i mentioned up front that it would be very helpful if the israeli leadership at the very top would say we want to make their life better knowing that because of the trauma that's been inflicted on the israeli people, keep in mind, we'd lost not quite 3,000 in the nine 11 attacks. this would be the equivalent for us. so having lost 42,000 plus 7,000 taken hostage, and i'm not sure i've been in israel just recently. and that sense of trauma is much, much more palpable than it is from a far so, you've got to keep that in mind nonetheless, if there's not the kind of commitment to the innocent civilians in gaza,

then this just is not going to work stay with us next on gps, general portrays and i will talk about the new russian offensive in ukraine and whether you gradient forces can hold their frontlines for zakaria gps brought to you by fisher investments. clearly different money management at fisher investments, we may look like other money managers, but we are different. >> how so we're a fiduciary, obligated to act in our client's best interests. >> so we don't sell any commission-based products, then how do you make money? >> we have a simple management fee structured, so we do better when our clients do better, your clients really come first, then. >> yes, we make them a top priority by getting to know their finances, family, health, lifestyle, and more wow, maybe we are different at fisher investments were clearly different the darkness of bipolar depression make me feel

stretched thin. they have only received a fraction of the weapons promised under the 61 billion aid package passed by congress last month so what will it take for ukraine to successfully fight back dave, welcome again the first tell us how bad does it look on the ukrainian front lines? >> well situations quite fraud. it's really quite perilous because as you noted, the us pipeline hasn't refilled yet. it's in the process of being refilled, but we're a long way from the artillery rounds actually been at the individual howitzers. the additional air defense interceptors and weapons systems in place where they are are needed and all of those have been running quite low in recent months. they've had to ration the use of these different munitions and weapons systems that said, it appears that the ukrainians are stabilizing their defenses outside kharkiv. and it appears that they are stopping the russian short of being within artillery range of the city itself, which is hugely

important. certainly the russians can use glide bombs and a variety of other techniques to hammer that city and they're doing that especially with the air defenses reduced somewhat. but keeping them out of artillery range is critically important. now, the ukrainians have their own challenges because as you know, for eid, they've only recently agreed on changes to their conscription law. so it's not only getting the us munitions out to where they're actually needed and get in all of that going again it's also about them cranking up their own force generation process after a months-long emotional, debate about the age of conscription and some other issues i finally resolved that the other major component in addition to us support that will help them in the months that lie ahead. but this summer with as stretched as they are and before, probably the force generation processes really cranky into high gear is going to be a difficult time for the

cranium. but what we've seen in the past now is the defense really having an advantage on this battlefield? in part because of the book would is presence of drones. as you know, the ukrainians are cranking out tens of thousands of drones every month. and if you keep drones over top of the in this case, russian attempts to breach defensive leinz and hammer. those leinz with artillery, with other longer-range munitions. it's very, very tough to advance on the ground in this particular battlefield. >> if we want ukraine to win, if we are in this fight to win. and i mean the united states, the west shouldn't, the us give ukraine both more advanced weaponry get the relaxed the rules about how far into russia it can strike at seen, it seems to me that we are trying to fight this war with half the handle one-four hand tied behind our backs i couldn't agree more for aid and really from the beginning on the one hand, the us is really led a

very robust response to this unprovoked and brutal russian invasion of ukraine. >> but on the other hand, individually vigil decisions have often taken far too long. the decision on m1 tanks, which held up the german decision on the german made leah part tanks really was one of the factors that undermine the possibilities of success. last summer, the decision on f 16s took too long. the decision on the army tactical missile system. now, all hello, these have been made, but there are still some additional decisions that should be made such as allowing the full use of american air defense systems over russian airspace because it's from russian airspace that these glide bombs can be launched they don't actually have to go into ukrainian airspace when kharkiv is so close to the border, there's still decisions that should be accelerated, that should be made. and again, i couldn't agree with you more on that. >> it just a final part do you

feel like there is a real danger that russia will be able to advance and perhaps take one of these major cities i think there is a real danger but i think that the ukrainians, again, if, especially if they can get their force generation process accelerated and with the additional us weapons systems, 61 billion is a huge amount of security assistance. >> it's 20, nearly 20 billion more than we provided in the first two years. if all this gets into place, european support has been very, very solid each individual country has been doing bilateral security agreements. the eu itself pledged $50 and so forth. i think the factors are there that the ukrainians should be able to keep that from happening. another words, losing a major city, but it is a real danger. and i agree with you on that always a pleasure to hear your insights and wisdom, david. >> thank you good to be with you for you.

>> thanks next on gps will india overtake china? >> as a global economic powerhouse i'll ask that question to the former chief of india's central bank, raghuram rajan. when we come back and they're all coming?

those who are still with us, yes. grandpa! what's this? your wings. light 'em up! gentlemen, it's a beautiful... ...day to fly. coventry direct redefining insurance. >> i'm more liebermann at the pentagon and this cnn with some controversy as well as there have been some students and faculty who have expressed frustration with the fact that the president was invited here as they have criticized his approach to the handling of the conflict between israel and hamas of people. >> we'll be watching very closely to see whether there is any type of protests during the president's remarks. of course, the president of the university said ahead of time

that he does not want to see any major disruptive protests that if that occurs, he would stop the commencement ceremony on the spot, but we will see whether there is any engagement of some type of peaceful protests from the students who are here. i will note that just before president biden was set to speak, the valedictorian of the class d'angelo fletcher, address the conflict in gaza and in his remarks, he talked about the need for hostages to be released, but also said that there needs to be an immediate and permanent ceasefire so you can see how that issue is in the minds of many students here at morehouse today and i think in a short bit we will be hearing for president biden himself affordable care act according black voters, if there's kinome campaign season, or lead, you're still with me because it as a campaign, feel like that's made much of a difference here. one

key thing is that the biden campaign is fully aware that they still have more work to do with black voters. black voters made up a core part of biden's coalition back in 2020. but there have been some signs of narrowing of support within that group. if you take a look at a recent new york times poll in ahead political head-to-head matchup between biden and trump. it had biden at about 63% support from black voters, while trump had garnered about 23%. that is a tightening from what we saw back in 2020, but it's clear that the biden campaign is taking this issue relating to some struggles they're having with the black voters very seriously, biden has we've been engaged over the course of this weekend in multiple appeals to try to reach a black voters. just yesterday, he met with people in here atlanta, georgia a bit later today, he is traveling onto detroit where he will speak at an on double acp dinner, but the group of people that he will speak here today today is also very important as they are specifically young black men. that is a group that

has shown some disaffection when it comes to politics, when it comes to president biden. and so these are all groups that the president will need to continue to make inroads with as he looks to secure a second term and really the black vote is critical to try the stitched together that diverse coalition that he had back in 2020 in cleaning in a battleground states like georgia and all what i was speaking to a georgia democrat, hank johnson, who said that he hoped that joe biden would announce a policy shift on the gaza war. >> perhaps thinkable forced we will stand against the netanyahu government do you believe that you have your hearing whether there'll be any shift in the white house over this from the president over this issue at all? >> well, i think that's something that we'll be watching incredibly closely. i think that you have heard from the white house saying that they want to have a temporary ceasefire. they want to try to get these hostages out, but

they haven't called for a full-on ceasefire with no conditions attached to it. but there has been the white house has been conducting outreach ahead of this meeting, trying to hear one-on-one concerns from students and faculty. here are interrupted hello, we're going to, right now oh folks, who helped you get here? >> your mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers? all those who got you here all the way in the back, please. parents, grandparents all will help stand up because we owe you a debt of gratitude all the family that is not hyperbole lot of your life, my family hadn't made significant

sacrifices to get your kids to school the matter is matter a lot and the friends of morehouse. >> and the morehouse man of class of 2024 i got more and more house man in the white house telling me what to do the non know what to do you all think i'm kidding, don't you know, i'm not and it's the best thing is happening scripture says the prayers of a righteous man avail with much in augusta, georgia a righteous man wants enslaved. set foot for freedom. the story goes he feared no evil he walked through the valley of the shadow of death. >> i don't his way north to free soil in philadelphia a baptist minister. he walked with faith in his soul power, and the steps of his feet to

glory. but after the union won the war he knew his prayers, availed and freedom that was not his alone and so this righteous man, richard cole, to return home, his feet wary is spirit no waste tire hundred and 57 years ago you all know the story, but the rest of the world does it ensure the basement of a baptist church in augusta? he and two other ministers, william jefferson white and admin attorney planted the seeds of something revolutionary and it wasn't the time a skoll scold help formerly enslaved man and in the ministry we're education would be the great equalizer from slavery to freedom. and institution of higher learning have become morehouse college i don't know any other college in america has that tradition, that consequence so the class of 2024 you joined, as you

know, a sacred tradition education makes you free and morehouse education makes you fearless i made it visionary, exceptional congratulations. >> you are more man, god love you again. >> i thank your families and your friends who helped you get here? because they made sacrifices for you as well. this graduation day is a day for generations a day of joy a de earned, not given we gather on this sunday morning exuberant church, perhaps it would be this reflection would be a reflection about resurrection and redemption remember, jesus was buried on friday and it was sunday. on

sunday, he rose again but but we don't talk about saturday why the design his disciples felt all hope was lost in our lives leinz, the nation. >> we have those saturday's to bear witness the day before glory seeing people's pain and not looking away but what work is done on saturday? to move pain to purpose how can fake get a man get a nation through what was to come? here's what my face is taught me i was the first biden ever graduate from college taking out loans. my dad and my all through school to get me there my junior years spring break i fell in love at first sight, literally a woman i adore i graduated from law

coalition including students from the best hbcu in america delaware state university. you guys are good they got me elected no, you all think i'm kidding i'm not kidding but by christmas, i was a newly elected senator hiring staff and washington dc when, i got a call from the first responders, my fire department in my hometown forever altered my life it put a young woman, first responder on the line to say there's an automobile accident tractor trailer hits your wife's qarrah while she was christmas shopping, three children and she poor woman, she just blurred it out, said your wife and daughter kill my 30 volt other day and you're almost three-year-old, four-year-old sons are badly injured were not sure they're going to make it either. a rush

every one of you graduated de and that's not hyperbole your future leaders, all of you you'll face complicated, tough moments. these moments who listen to others. but you have to decide guided by knowledge conviction, principle and your own moral compass this desire to know what freedom is what it can be is the heart and soul of why this colleges founded in the first place proving that a free nation is born in the hearts of men spell bound by freedom that's the magic of morehouse. that's the magic of america. well, let's be clear what happens to you and your family when all ghost and new garmin seize power extreme has come for the freedoms. >> you thought belong to you and everyone today in georgia

and american we're all created equal extreme is close. the doors have opportunity. strike down affirmative action attack the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion i never thought when i was graduating in 1968, as your honor, read, just was we talked about i never thought i'd be a president of time when there's a national effort to ban books not to write history, but to erase history they don't see you in the future of america but they're wrong to me. we make history not erasing. we know black history is american history many of you, brad, you don't know me, but check my records. you know what i'm saying? i mean, from my gut we know black man we're going to help us lead us to the future

black men from this class. and this university graduates is what we're up against. >> extreme is forces. a against the meaning and message morehouse and they peddle a fiction, a character what bay the man is a bow tough talk abusing power, bigotry their idea being managed toxic are random all the time when i was younger i get started but not you it's not us you all know and demonstrate what it really means to be a man being a man is. >> about strength of respect and dignity. it's about showing up because it's too late if you have to ask it's

about giving, hey, no safe harbor and maybe no one behind an offending freedoms. >> it's about standing up the abuse of power by the physical economic, or psychological it's about knowing faith without works is dead look you're doing the work today. >> i look out at all you graduates and i see the next-generation, a morehouse man were doctors and researchers curing cancer, artists, shaping our calls her fearless journalists and intellectuals, challenging convention i see preachers and advocates. but white even joined another morehouse and in the united states senate you can clap for him. he's a good man so i said i'm proud, to have the most diverse administration in history tap into the full talents of our nation. >> i'm also proud to put it in

the first black woman on the united states supreme court i have no doubt, one day a morehouse man will be on that court as well though it i've been vice president, first black president become my close friend i'm present of the first woman vice president why i have no idea. no doubt that the morehouse man will be president one day just after a aka from howard she's tough guys look bennett closer this i know. >> i don't look like i've been

around very long then my career for the first 30 years, i was told you're too young kid just to stop me from getting on the senate elevator when i first got there for real now, i'm too old. >> whether you're younger, old i know what endures the strength and wisdom of faith and doors i hope i hope for you is my challenge to you is you still keep the faith. so long as you can cap on your head, bruise, you've earned your crown the question is now 25 years from now, 50 years from now when you're asked to stand and address next-generation the morehouse man what would you say you did with that power you've earned? what would you say, you've done for your family for your community, your

country, when a mattered most i know we can do together are capable of building democracy worthy of our dreams future, or every even more your brothers and sisters you can follow their dreams boundless future we are legacies, lift us up to sews those who follow bigger, brighter future to prison. american dream is big enough for everyone to succeed class of 2024 for years ago, it felt probably like saturday four years later you made this sunday to commencement to the beginning and with faith and determination you can push the sun above the horizon once more. you can reveal a light hope and that's not i'm not kidding for yourself and for your nation the prayers a righteous man avails much a righteous man, a good man, a

morehouse man. >> god bless you all were expecting a lot from you. >> thank you that was president biden speaking more howard scholars, getting the graduates there. >> i'm going to, of course, key moment for his campaign as he tries to renew his support with black farmers. the president speaking about his record on race, talking about the challenges confronting a black men this country, even his own personal journey, how by mlk junior influenced him through the course of his life. i'm junior, of course a graduate of morehouse college, and he also address the issue that has been roiling college campuses across the country. the israel hamas war and talking about how he said that innocent palestinians have been caught in the middle of it. who's working around the clock for an immediate ceasefire? he said, he's trying to push for a two-state solution railed against how innocent palace dyneins have been caught in the middle of this conflict. there

were some there was no hours of protests, at least saw maybe some folks to turn their backs to the president. we're gonna get a report from inside the room and just a matter of moments here. but we're going to break this down here first with two morehouse graduates on the panel, bacardi sellers, the former democratic state representative from south carolina finance conservative political strategies. cnn's sean michael singleton were both cnn commentators. and of course, cnn's political director, david chaldean so what did you guys think? i mean, this is obviously we're coming into middle of a key moment of that campaign and he's trying to call black voters, young voters, and he tried to confront the issue that's in an elephant in the room. the israel hamas war diddy strike the right tone so first of all, we're going to give david and honore degree you don't want to make you don't feel no, i actually thought the president did extremely well today and i'm not sure whether var was set for him in terms of level of expectation, but believe on all accounts he exceeded it, something that stuck out to me

today was not just him going through his personal history. he does that a lot, but it's the fact that he went into the history of morehouse college and tie that into protest and said, look, young man, i understand you have every right to protest. people have to remember samuel l. jackson actually held the board of trustees hostage, so we could change how policy changes on campus. julian bond went to morehouse college. i mean, we had a history of protests on this campus in atlanta, georgia. and so he was speaking to that history of protests and said, look, i understand what you're protesting. you have every right to do. so i understand that history in any pivoted in directly into it. now, i don't think anybody thought he was going to bring up gaza, palestine, israel today, but he went in and he talked about it from a nuanced fashion which i thought was very appropriate. i think we were having a question about how it how it was received in the audience. i'm not sure we're not there, but i do believe this speech will be well-received around the country to one group in one group only that's black men he has to talk directly to black men because that is where he's

lagging. >> if he's going to get to 90% of the african american vote, he's whatever it is, 17%, 75% now, he's going to have to tighten up black men and this speech was a step in the right direction. and just before you wait and show michael just about biden's margins with black votes back in 2020, he did win by 75 points according to exit polls at the time. now, according to one recent poll, which is consistent with other national polls, 49 points is as margin there. he's tied with trump among young voters when he was up by 2041, by 24. and according to exit polls in 2020, was the able in this speech or my goal. to obviously one speech not going to make a difference, but it's been this concerted effort by the biden campaign to court this key demographic is in your view, is especially useful, especially lately, i mean, i've even seen some of their campaign ads on social media targeting young black men, in particular color i think the president may have stopped the bleeding. i'm not sure though that he
