  • Requires Amplification!

    More, more, more! Ian Bremmer and his Eurasia Group team have been providing sound global perspectives for many, many years. Those lucky to have had a bespoke audience know this. Excited to have this level of thought leadership expand beyond the IYKYK. More Ian, and definitely more Moose : ) .

  • Not good

    Shallow commentary, Ian isn’t the smartest guy out there. His podcast serves to try and land his consultancy firm more clients

  • A much-needed voice of reason.

    I first heard of Ian when he moderated for lack of a better term and interview with Peter Zeihan on Sam Harris’s Making Sense podcast. I really enjoyed his rigour and engagement and so here I am. Please have Dr. Sarah Payne on some time!!!

  • Normally very good

    Bill Maher saying “ I don’t know “ was the only accurate thing he said. Normally, your guests are thoughtful and intelligent. They speak with knowledge and facts to back them up. They don’t speak in generalities and opinions with nothing to substantiate what they say. Except Maher. I’m surprised you had him as a guest since he contributed nothing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 Midterms and the battle for Congress, with Amy Walter and Liam Donovan
Q: If we end up seeing that the House and the Senate go Democrat, what does it matter in an environment where the executive order is still driving everything?
Walter says losing congressional control would not prevent Trump from using executive authority, but Democratic oversight could slow policy implementation. She adds that voters would expect Democrats to address systemic problems as well as check Trump.
2026 Midterms and the battle for Congress, with Amy Walter and Liam Donovan
Q: Do you feel as confident as the headlines have been saying, and can the Democrats still screw this up?
Amy Walter says Democrats have a strong opportunity to win the House, but the Senate is less certain because the path runs through strongly Republican states and turnout could change the race.
The great US-China superpower rivalry, with Elizabeth Economy
Q: Before I close, I want to ask you about artificial intelligence. What are the implications given both sides are racing ahead, and how should the American public think about it?
Americans should balance enthusiasm for innovation with robust safety and energy considerations, including data center impacts and environmental effects, while recognizing China's lead in global deployment of AI models; the US needs a clear, attractive export package and a coherent domestic strategy to maintain leadership without stifling innovation or public trust.
The great US-China superpower rivalry, with Elizabeth Economy
Q: So Liz, how much interdependence do you think the Americans should be aiming for long-term with the Chinese? There are benefits with mutually assured destruction, but also mistrust; how do you orient towards executing this?
The answer lies in continuing to identify critical areas for domestic production and alliance-based resilience, while leaving space for mutually beneficial cooperation in non-strategic sectors; the challenge is in clearly distinguishing which goods must be domestic or allied-produced versus those that can rely on the global market, especially in tech and AI supply chains.
The enduring legacy of 9/11, with former Defense Secretary Mark Esper
Q: What do you think about how the U.S. has balanced national security with individual rights over the past two decades?
He argues that the right balance was largely found between privacy and security, though debates persisted about overreach, and stresses the importance of preserving democracy while accepting some risk in foreign threats.
