This week on the show, Ehud Olmert, former prime minister of Israel, speaks to Fareed about why he thinks current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition has led Israel in a terrible direction—and that Palestinians must have the right to self-determination.

They also discuss the prospect of President Joe Biden addressing Israel's people directly at its parliament, the Knesset. Then, legendary singer, songwriter and piano man Billy Joel and his collaborator, Producer/Director Freddy Wexler, join the show to talk about the inspiration behind Joel's new song, "Turn the Lights Back On." They also discuss the music video that accompanies the ballad and its amazing use of AI. Plus, Fareed explains how Greece, once the "sick man" of Europe, got cured.
