President Trump takes on the Judiciary

From Supreme Court rulings on deportations and birthright citizenship to federal troop deployments in Los Angeles, the courts are becoming ground zero for challenges to executive authority. Emily Bazelon tells Ian Bremmer that the judiciary can’t save American democracy alone—and with Congress sidelined and the DOJ increasingly politicized, checks and balances are wearing thin. “The judges cannot save the country from an authoritarian president… by themselves."

President Trump has launched a revolution. Will it succeed?

President Donald Trump calls himself a revolutionary—and I actually agree with him. His second term has ushered in sweeping attempts to expand executive power and defang oversight institutions. Congress has rolled over. The DOJ? Under pressure. The only remaining institutional check appears to be the courts—especially the lower ones. So far, federal judges across the country, including some Trump appointees, have pushed back on illegal overreach. As has the Supreme Court on some high profile immigration and trade cases. But what happens when Trump gets tired of losing in court?

What’s behind Trump & Musk’s public feud?

Elon Musk and President Donald’s Trump’s White House bromance imploded in spectacular fashion last week in a feud that played out in full view of the public, with the two billionaires trading insults in real-time on social media. That fight appears to be cooling down, at least for now, but President Trump has made it clear he has no intention of mending the relationship any time soon. On a special edition of GZERO World, Semafor Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith joins Ian Bremmer to discuss what led to the breakup and where the Trump administration’s relationship with Silicon Valley goes from here.

Can Taiwan defend itself from Chinese invasion?

Can Taiwan defend itself from a Chinese invasion? On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with Bonny Lin, director of the China Power Project at CSIS, to break down Beijing’s increasingly aggressive military maneuvers around the island and what it means for Taipei’s future. Since Taiwan’s pro-independence president William Lai took office in 2024, China has stepped up both the frequency and scale of its military operations, with daily air and naval incursions into Taiwan’s air defense zone.

Could China invade Taiwan?

On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer asks the question keeping diplomats, military experts, and policymakers all over the world up at night: Could China and Taiwan be heading toward war? Tensions are high. The People’s Liberation Army has been staging louder and more frequent military drills around Taiwan and Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the PLA to be ready to seize the island by 2027. Diplomatic red lines are being tested, and the risk of miscalculation is growing. Bonny Lin, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins Ian to break down the current conflict and whether war between China and Taiwan in the near-term is a realistic possibility.

How China would seize Taiwan without firing a shot

Chinese President Xi Jinping has made reunification with Taiwan a key pillar of his nationalist agenda. He’s ordered the People’s Liberation Army to be ready to seize Taiwan by 2027, and the PLA has been conducting near-daily military drills around the island–larger, louder, and more aggressive than ever before. On Ian Explains, Ian Bremmer breaks down how China could seize Taiwan without firing a single shot.

GZERO Media scores 7 Telly Awards!

Not to brag... but we just won SEVEN 2025 Telly Awards. (Okay, maybe we want to brag just a little.)

GZERO Media cleaned up in the newly announced 46th Annual Telly Awards, walking away with a gleaming haul (our biggest ever) that includes a Gold for Best Explainer for Ian Explains: How does the European Union work?, explained by our very own Ian Bremmer. Turns out a lot of people (even the EU's own citizens, we'd wager) have trouble keeping track of the difference between the European Parliament, the European Commission, the European Council, and oh yes, the Council of the EU.

But we didn’t stop there. Our trophy shelf just got a lot more crowded with:

That brings our grand total to 26 Telly Awards since 2020, so maybe we're onto something… or Ian just has a lot of charisma.

An OpenAI insider warns of the reckless race to AI dominance

Are AI companies being reckless and ignoring safety concerns in the race to develop superintelligence? On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer is joined by former OpenAI whistleblower and executive director of the AI Futures Project, Daniel Kokotajlo, to discuss new developments in artificial intelligence and his concerns that big tech companies like OpenAI and DeepMind are too focused on beating each other to create new, powerful AI systems and not focused enough on safety guardrails, oversight, and existential risk. Kokotajlo left OpenAI last year over deep concerns about the direction of its AI development and argues tech companies are dangerously unprepared for the arrival of superintelligent AI. If he’s right, humanity is barreling toward an era of unprecedented power without a safety net, one where the future of AI is decided not by careful planning, but by who gets there first.

“OpenAI and other companies are just not giving these issues the investment they need,” Kokotajlo warns, “We need to make sure that the control over the army of superintelligences is not something one man or one tiny group of people gets to have.”
