Ian Bremmer, founder and president of Eurasia Group, joins Preet to discuss Eurasia Group’s annual “Top Risks” report. Preet and Ian discuss the specter of the 2024 presidential election, the risks of ungoverned Artificial Intelligence, and the ongoing crises in the Middle East – and they review whether Ian’s 2023 risk predictions hold up.
Plus, did DOJ violate the stay in the Trump election subversion criminal case? How does the OLC memo prohibiting the federal indictment of a sitting president affect Trump’s arguments about post-presidential absolute immunity? And, what are the implications of a potential SCOTUS overturning of Maine’s and Colorado’s ballot disqualifications of Trump?
Don’t miss the Insider Bonus, where Preet asks Bremmer the biggest “red herrings” of 2024 – apparent risks that many fear, but that Ian thinks are overhyped. To listen, become a member of CAFE Insider for $1 for the first month. Head to cafe.com/insider.
