GZERO World With Ian Bremmer

Storyline

Each week, Ian Bremmer, a renowned political scientist, entrepreneur and bestselling author, shares his perspective on recent global events and interviews the world leaders, experts and newsmakers shaping today's international politics. In the era of smartphones and smart fridges, the world has never been more connected. Yet politically, we've never been more divided. That's not just an American problem. It's increasingly a global phenomenon. The United States can't and won't play global policeman, and no one else wants the job. The geopolitical alliances that have organized international politics since the end of World War II are breaking down. Nationalists and populists have gained a political foothold in both developed and developing countries. The G7 group of industrialized nation no longer carries its post-Cold War clout, and the G20 functions only in emergencies. Welcome to the GZERO World. GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, a weekly half-hour show, provides unique access to leaders at the center of today's geopolitical flashpoints and expert insight into the events shaping tomorrow's world. Ian Bremmer hosts the show on location across the United States and around the world as he meets with heads of state and top newsmakers. Ian launched GZERO World as a digital show. Over the course of the first season, he interviewed U.S. Ret. Four Star General David Petraeus, Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Maggie Haberman, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Head of the International Rescue Committee David Miliband, and former Trump insider Anthony Scaramucci. Still to come: Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, Wired Editor-in-Chief Nick Thompson, Syria Deeply founder Lara Setrakian, and many more. In a media landscape becoming more politicized and polarized than ever, here you'll find ideas and insight from across the global political spectrum. Each episode opens with a monologue, a social media-sourced question and answer segment called 'Office Hours' and one big interview (the heart of the show). Each episode ends on a lighter note with the original political satire series, PUPPET REGIME. These 2-3 minute sketches parody world leaders with a combination of silliness and substance. The ever-expanding cast already includes Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un, Angela Merkel, Mark Zuckerberg and more. GZERO World with Ian Bremmer offers an escape from the echo chambers, bringing a variety of geopolitical perspectives to viewers each week.
