Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu!

In today’s episode, I go deep with political analyst Ian Bremmer to discuss pressing global issues like the upcoming 2024 election in the US, the war conflicts between Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine, and the influences of AI.

Ian Bremmer is a political scientist, author, and entrepreneur focused on global political risk. He is the founder and president of Eurasia Group, a political risk research and consulting firm, and GZERO Media, a digital media company covering global affairs.

In today’s thought-provoking episode, Ian and I go deep into geopolitics as he shares his insights on pressing global issues including:

- the geopolitical stakes of the US election
- what role AI plays in spreading misinformation
- impacts of lies and loss of credibility on governance
- the influence of economic disparity on cultural behaviors
- scenarios for Trump or Biden election victories
- fragmentation risks of NATO and the Ukrainian political system

Is there an existential threat to democracy? Will America see a civil war in 2024?

From the potential consequences for individual countries to the global economy and political system, today's conversation is not just about asking hard questions, but finding a path forward in times of radicalization, misinformation, and geopolitical turbulence.
