Zakaria nurtured a passion for cooking as a graduate student, and chefs Jacques Pépin and Julia Childs are credited with his increased interest in food. Zakaria is a self-described secular and nonpracticing Muslim. "My faith convictions are tangled," he said, slipping somewhere between deism and agnosticism. I am essentially secular in my outlook.' His ex-wife is a Christian, and his three children have not been raised as Muslims.

Hunter's shady foreign industry nor the latest cocaine find are mentioned in this rare Biden interview

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 9, 2023
President Joe Biden managed to refrain from answering any complicated questions about his son Hunter's investigation or his cocaine discovery in the White House in a rare sit-down interview. Despite growing public belief that the president was 'probably involved' in Hunter's international business deals, CNN's Fareed Zakaria kept the focus on foreign policy, but never once questioned Biden about his son. This is Biden's first appearance since the US Secret Service discovered a white powder substance in the White House last Sunday that turned out to be cocaine. Trolls on the internet exploded right away blaming Hunter for introducing the illicit drug to the White House.

And Bill Clinton has said that there is a 'limit' to how many migrants the United States can take

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 29, 2022
Former President Bill Clinton said that the US has a 'limit' to how many migrants it can take into the country, and that there are some who 'game' the system. There is a ceiling to how many migrants a society can take without significant disruption and assistance, and our system is based more on the belief that things will be more efficient,' the former president said, quoting official border crossings. This fiscal year, border agents have crossed more than 2.1 million border crossings, the most active in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) history. In August, there were 203,000 crossings. Clinton recalled immigration from his youth, when Mexican migrants would wandered back and forth across the border to work in agriculture, and it 'worked for people,' on a CNN podcast with host Fareed Zakaria.'
