GZero World with Ian Bremmer

Look, 2018 is not going to be pretty, no matter what sh

Across Alabama, across the United States, and across the world many people breathed a sigh of relief that Roy Moore fell short winning a Senate seat. But not all people. This week Ian Bremmer talks with Breitbart News White House Correspondent Charlie Spiering about the roughly one third of Americans who remain fervently behind the likes of Roy Moore, Steve Bannon and, of course, President Trump himself.

The lines have been drawn and the geopolitical scramble to harness the power of artificial intelligence - this generation's Space Race - is well under way. It's the United States vs China and, at least for the moment, it's anyone's bet. Few people are more closely involved in AI development than Fei-Fei Li, Chief Scientist of AI and Machine Learning at Google Cloud and Director of Stanford's AI lab. 

"Yes, you have to read President Trump's tweets, but you can't just get riveted on those. You need to follow the troops, follow the money, and follow the substance of policies." Retired U.S. General David Petraeus has led troops into battle but he's as much an academic as he is an officer. This week he talks to Ian Bremmer about the the threats facing the United States today, both from without and within.

Global economist and author Dambisa Moyo studies the intersection of geopolitics, business, and economics in an increasingly unstable world. Moyo serves on the board of Barclays Bank, she has advised more than a few fortune 500 companies, and was named by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. In her free time, she likes to relax by running marathons. I’ll ask her about her increasingly bleak views on the future of the global economy.

"My natural inclination, from the start, was to be really, really supportive of Donald Trump's message." A little over a year since a wave of populist support in "flyover country" helped elect President Donald J. Trump, Ian Bremmer descends from the snowflaked perches of his globalist headquarters in New York to discuss the state of Trump's base with Hillbilly Elegy author JD Vance.

"I believe that when history is written on the Crimean conflict, it will be seen as a defeat for Russia." Carl Bildt, former Swedish Prime Minister and champion of a united Europe, does not mince words about Vladimir Putin. But when it comes to the state of the European Union today, he is as upbeat as a Swede can be.

Despite increased Western sanctions, quality of life for much of North Korea's elite is improving. But during one particularly boozy dinner in Pyongyang last month, New Yorker writer Evan Osnos heard something particularly chilling from one of his handful of minders: Nuclear war with the U.S. would be survivable. It might, the 35 year-old father of two seemed to indicate, be unavoidable. 

The Travel Ban. Charlottesville. The NFL. President Trump's handling of race in America has been divisive and unrestrained. The reason, says New Yorker Staff Writer Jelani Cobb, can be traced back to one place: Queens, New York.

After the horrific shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night, ISIS scrambled to claim responsibility. They did so despite any real evidence. Then they doubled down.
