It’s been almost three months since Trump’s inauguration. Political scientist Ian Bremmer joins Preet to discuss the profound and chaotic changes to America and the world, from tariffs, to federal cuts, to deportations—and how foreign and domestic entities, like China and Harvard University, are fighting back.
Plus, Preet answers questions about Trump’s alleged insider trading and how to get money out of our politics.
