Trump's close call and the RNC: Brian Stelter and Nicole Hemmer weigh in on a historic week in US politics

Trump's close call and the RNC: Brian Stelter and Nicole Hemmer weigh in on a historic week in US politics

Listen: In the latest episode of the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer reflects on this pivotal week in US politics and welcomes back media journalist and former CNN show host Brian Stelter on the show alongside Vanderbilt political historian Nicole Hemmer. Former President Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt, picked his VP candidate, presided over a united GOP at the Republican Convention, and all while a Democratic Party in disarray continued to clamor for Biden to step aside.

“We're living in a period of escalating political violence and social and political instability,” Hemmer tells Bremmer. “That was true in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and I think that it's true today."

In a wide-ranging conversation that touches on all the major news of the week, Hemmer and Stelter dig into the political divisions that led to this moment of horrific political violence. “The real divides are not between Democrats and Republicans, although those are real” Stelter adds. “But the biggest divide that we're seeing is between extremists and those who are moderates, the great silent majority."

Both guests also comment on the media's role in this fraught environment, with Hemmer critiquing prediction-focused coverage and Stelter advocating for better representation of casual news consumers and politically fatigued voters. The three also discuss the likelihood of Biden stepping down, an eventuality that Stelter argues is inevitable. “It is clear the Democratic Party elites are not with Biden. And I don't see that tide turning. I don't see how it changes.”

Host: Ian Bremmer

Guests: Brian Stelter, Nicole Hemmer

The Autocrat's Playbook

The Autocrat's Playbook

How does a democracy die? In stops and starts – says our guest this week – and usually, from within. Steve Levitsky is a professor of politics at Harvard and the co-author of the recent bestseller How Democracies Die. Drawing from history and present day (think: Venezuela), Levitsky makes a compelling case for precisely how an autocrat could bring down the pillars of democracy. And Ian presses him on perhaps the most worrying implication of all: is the United States next?   +World Cup + Turkey Elections + Migrants in the Mediterranean.   Let’s get to it.

WIRED editor-in-chief Nick Thompson

It was the best of times for US-North Korean relations. It was the worst of times for the US relations with its G7 allies. The average geopolitical observer would be forgiven for feeling more than a little bit of geopolitical jetlag. Or whiplash. Plus a fascinating conversation with WIRED editor-in-chief Nick Thompson about Mark Zuckerberg’s next moves, how governments should be developing AI, and why your kids should stay far away from the iPads.

Populism Ain’t About the People

Populism Ain’t About the People

Trump. Brexit. 5Star. Marine Le Pen. Something, to coin a phrase, is happening here. But what’s not happening, says Princeton Professor and populism scholar Jan Muller, is the will of “the People.” Unless we’re talking swamp people… Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.
