Chapter 1: What are Ian Bremmer's views on the World Economic Forum?
You're a New York Times bestseller. You've been shown in many different meetings with some people that would be considered globalists. You've spoken at World Economic Forum multiple times. Some people would consider them deep state.
I've gone for 15 years. I can assure you that no running of the world is being done by the World Economic Forum.
I see the need for a great reason. You don't think that's a little weird? No. Really?
You don't think that's a little weird? No.
You're a smart guy.
No, I am a smart guy. Don't go off. I think globalization is good. I think all of you guys are bots on this side. You guys are for sale. And the idea that that's true only of one party, not the other, is insane.
Tear apart my argument. Trump sees that he has a tool and he scattershot, uses it everywhere. I think that is one of the most irresponsible decisions by a president I have ever seen in my life. Honestly. And why is he doing it? Because he wants to show he can?
Do you know what happened to the Democratic credibility to me? Right here. It got hurt. Not hurt. This is not hurt. This is the first time in history. It's shattered.
China today, they have advanced technologies.

Chapter 2: How did Ian Bremmer's early experiences shape his career?
in 1960 to 92 in 1964, and they lost the black vote until 2024. So do you think this was a catastrophic event for the Democratic Party in 2024? Or no, it's just normal ebbs and flows. It goes back and forth. That's what I'm trying to see, especially for someone like you.
Look, I think that... The country is so much more divided. There are so many fewer votes that are up for grabs today than there were 50 years ago in the United States. I mean, at the end of the day, you're talking about a very small number of people in a very small number of districts. And otherwise, people are reliably red and they're reliably blue.
It's very hard to flip most of those people, most of those places. There are a lot more independents in the United States now than there were before. But those independents reliably lean with a party or another, even if they're not a part of that party. That's fair, yeah.
So I think that what we are talking about right now is a country that has most of its population that has decided that they are on Team A or Team B, and the other team is an enemy. And that's a serious problem. Now, it was at least really good in 2024 that nobody thought the election was rigged. It was good that everyone accepts that Trump is actually the president.
I don't know if I think 2025, the other side thinks the other side is the enemy. I actually don't believe that right now. I believe that the last five years. I don't believe that right now. Let me give you an idea of why, and I'll push back. Bezos? Bezos? Go have a good meeting. Wall Street Journal this week. If you go to WSJ's YouTube channel, go to YouTube channel, they interviewed Bill Gates.
I don't know if you saw that.
I saw it, yeah. 12-minute interview. He said good things about Trump. He said good things about Trump.
Can you imagine like a world where, yeah, this was five days ago. It's actually a very good interview. I watch, I'm like, okay, good.
That's very different from the average American.
