Today on the show, Fareed speaks with former President of Columbia University Lee Bollinger about the Trump administration’s attacks on universities and what America stands to lose in the rollback of academic freedom. 

Then, author Michael Lewis joins the show to discuss his new book, “Who Is Government.” As DOGE moves to dismantle government agencies and paint federal workers as lazy, Lewis’ book chronicles the untold and crucial work being done by America’s civil servants.
