On Fareed Zakaria GPS on Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET, Fareed speaks with former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell about what to do in Syria, how to tackle Iran and its nuclear program, and the state of politics in the United States – is partisanship in Washington really as bad as its ever been?
Also on the show is two-time Pulitzer Prize winning author Robert Caro, who has spent more than three decades researching, thinking about, and writing on the life of President Lyndon Baines Johnson as part of his epic series of books on the 36th U.S. president. A web extra with Caro discussing the Civil Rights Act is available here.
And Fareed will also be looking at the underlying dynamics shaping the presidential election. Is it all about the economy, or are there other major factors that will decide the next American president?

It's so good to have Fareed back. All the best to him and his team!
Yup!
Glad to have to have Fareed back too. Just listened to his contrite introduction a while ago and I feel more eager to continue watching his program.
I am glad to see CNN/Time handled that issue the right way. The truth, as humans, we make mistakes. And I believe that was the case for him. Like you, I am glad to see him back. It is hard to replace someone like him!
I look forward to viewing his excellent show again!
Great to have Fareed back! Love the show and listen to the podcast too! Keep up the good work!
Now, the CNN boss, knows what to do, how to increase the profits, when to get more audiences and not to listen the ethno-political motivated back biter and back-stabbers who are self-appointed bosses.
Ted Turner or whomever the owner of CNN news channels, blogsites,....must respect the outstanding journalist, Dr. Fared Zakaria. If you want keep-up the CNN business, stick with Dr.Zakaria.
Welcome back, Dr.Fared Zakaria.
He has resigned from the Yale board.
Fareed your my favorite journalist-thank goodness your bosses are true to real journalism again-you could be a great advisor to a humanist president like barrack-I havea doctorate in US FOREIGN POLICY so I know a bit about foreign policy-
I have never seen a "doctorate" spell so badly.
i thought powell hung himself from shame.
remember, your panel of "experts" should always be 67% to 100% jews.
only fair.
Fareed – glad you'll be back. You're one of the few reporters who can get world leaders on your show, and that is very refreshing.
Can't hardly wait...!!!
Look forward to your show this Sunday. It was hard to start my week without listening to intelligent and thought provoking journalism.
Have you been on vacation? I look forward to your show every week and have missed you recently.
Thank God you're back Fareed. I've missed your show, especially as the November Presidential election draws closed. Your panel of experts are really good!
Welcome back, Fareed. I have missed your show!!!!
I depend on Fareed to get the best on global comments and views for up to date coverage. Good to have you back!
I really want you to cover how Egypt's new president doing. He is much much worse than Mubarak.There are thousands of thousands protesting against him and his regime, and the Muslim Brotherhood aides are attacking anyone that administering in it,, they didn't let the protestors be in the Tahrir Squire, so they had to go to EL-Orooba Palace. The leader of this adminstrator got hit by a motorcycle and now he is in the hospital for beeing against the president. People want their freedom back. Morsi is the worst president ever, trying to oppress the media, stifle dissent, violation in every thing everywher.
Sure glorify a plagerist, that's the core definition of FAUX NEWS. Kind of like that plastic genuine faux leather.
idiot.
I am happy you are back! Terrific show as always.
Welcome back Fareed!
Thrilled to see you back, Fareed! The intelligent and insightful discussions offered by GPS are in short supply in the cable news market and are badly needed in this day and age.
Welcome back to my world! I applaud CNN for your quick return. You find credibility in our world of confusion and effectively analyze the problems that we face not only as a nation but as citizens of the world . There is again something to anticipate on Sunday mornings! Thank you!
I am pleased to see you back, Fareed. Missed your show, your discussions and opinions, .
I concur with everyone's coments and echo their feelings as well. Great to see you back on the Air again. Missed the programme as many have stated. The diverse and objective views which is what we all like to see on political shows/programmes.
Thanks CNN. Fareed represents the best of free press and critical journalism. He provides a global view that is difficult to find anywhere else. Welcome back.
Great interview with Colin Powell and information about LBJ.....you have been missed!
Welcome back Fareed. Congratulations to CNN for doing the right thing. The last two weeks were traumatic as we waited for the GPS to manifest. Your programs are perhaps the most prominent TV news show among the clutter of biased news, reports and viewpoints filling the airways. The GPS gives the ordinary viewer a look at the bigger and deeper meaning behind the day to day news development through outstanding guests, insights and relevance. It makes us smatter in just half hour. Please do not even think about stopping. Thank you and the CNN.
Good to have you back Mr.Fareed! My Sunday's are better now with the optimism of knowing what is really going around the world followed by a balanced and nuanced analysis of issues. A rare commodity in these difficult days of incessant 24/7 partisan 'news/opinion' garbage shoved down our throats.
So are you saying that Mr. Z. is not a good American and he does not produce partisan style rhetoric?
Welcome back and thanks for the jolly good show – seriously. But...
Where is the promoted link to the Chinese report on US human rights? It was supposed to be linked to here but I see nothing about it. Probably a hire percentage of Chinese will be aware of the US report and allegations as Americans will be aware of the Chinese report and its allegations. We don't need their crass censorship. With all due respect, your mention of it will not really move the needle. And you seem to forget that the number one duty of the government is to protect its citizens, so with rampant gun violence and homicide rates, with racial discriminatory outcomes in the judicial system, etc., we are talking about real human lives being destroyed here. You almost mock the most primitive of human rights in favor of the more luxurious ones as delineated in the Bill of Rights.
Am i having a deja vu or are some of the materials on today's show just replays of previous episodes? I am almost certain that i have seen the "what in the world" section (about the China human rights criticism) and the Robert Caro interview earlier this year on GPS. Seems a strange way to highlight Fareed's back.
Welcome back - I'm glad this citation mistake was cleared up! You're smart, well-read, and insightful and I hope you start reading something on Math Wars in the USA soon, and what's become of this debate so central to math and science. Looking forward to more of your work, Fareed!
So glad you are back Mr. Zakaria. I was lost without your honest, informative show.
Why do you keep having Caro on over and over so that he can make LBJ look like Lincoln? Caro leaves out that LBJ kept us in Vietnam, and ruined the country economically when he tried to finance the Vietnam War and the Great Society at the same time. Johnson was a brutal politician, not a lovable Southern uncle.
Very
Very happy to see Faree Zakeria on CNN today. He was excellent as always inhis commentory and interview. My friend had to cancelled all her appointment at 1Pm. Komal saraf
I had set my DVR to record Fareed the last couple of weeks and couldn't figure out why he wasn't on until I did a little research. Yippee, he's back but I'm still hunting for that human rights report card on America by China.
I am so happy that Fareed is back!!! Thank you CNN for doing the right thing. Now we are again blessed with having Fareed's insightful analysis of world affairs to watch each week. Fareed's work is a great contributio both to journalism and public education.
Fareed is an incomparable intermediary of worldly analysis.
Except Fareed in CNN, everybody else are reporters. The kind of intellectualism Fareed brings, the depth of international exposure is beyond compare with anybody in US Media. The articulation of complex issues are excellent. I am glad, he is back.

Two things:
Can I get a text of Colin Powell's interview?
For all fans of LBJ ... Just saw a brilliant play in Ashland Or called "All The Way" not sure if there are plans to travel nationwide, but if so, don't miss it. It's said that in his first year as President, Johnson signed The Civil Rights Bill, The War on Poverty, The Right To Vote Act and Medicare. It 's thought that most of this wouldn't have been passed without the passing of JFK and a sympathic bi-partisan vote. Pretty amazing!
Dear Sir,
Have you read the NY times article on how Romney, through bane, purchase HCA?? If not I suggest you research this. It will show you a clear picture of how Gov. Romney intended to run Mass. he alt care system through Bane and HCA who as you know has been caught violating the law many times. In his backing of purchasing HCA, He and his friends(the Frists) made billions of dollars. Check it out if you don't believe me. Here's the link http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/business/hca-giant-hospital-chain-creates-a-windfall-for-private-equity.html?partner=rss&emc=rss. Do you have the stones to do some real reporting/I hope so.
You don't know what you've got, till it's gone. Glad to have the show back, it's one of the highlights of my week. I can't wait to have the audio podcast reinstated (PLEASE!). Please keep up this stimulating program. I love Fareed!
Welcome back Fareed, you were missed. I was so happy to see your GPS show back on the air. You are my favorite journalist! You manage to inform your viewers in the most unbiased style I've ever seen. You also cover topics that are relevant to our times and I always feel I learned something new after your show. Thank you Fareed and CNN for bringing the BEST journalist back to viewers.
