Ian Bremmer: Trump’s “Political Revolution” Is 2026’s Top Global Risk

Season 2025 Episode 8071 | 17m 53s

A new global risk report by the Eurasia Group is calling 2026 a "tipping point." The report identifies the United States as the principal threat to the global order and sends a stark warning as President Trump tests the limits of his own executive power. Ian Bremmer is the group's founder and President. He joins Walter Isaacson to break down what he calls the "American political revolution."
