Summary

On this week’s special episode of Stay Tuned, Preet is joined by two guests. Ian Bremmer, the president and founder of Eurasia Group, a political risk consulting firm, and GZERO Media, helps us break down the global and domestic threats posed by the coronavirus pandemic. Rahm Emanuel served as Mayor of Chicago from 2011 to 2019, overseeing the city’s passage of universal pre-kindergarten, its ongoing struggle with crime and police brutality, and its rapid expansion of public-private partnerships. A Chicago native, Emanuel has been a mainstay in Democratic politics since the 1980s, working as a top advisor to President Clinton for the majority of his presidency, holding a seat in the House of Representatives during the George W. Bush administration, and serving as Chief of Staff for President Obama in the first year of his administration. Last month, Emanuel published The Nation City: Why Mayors Are Now Running the World, an examination of the increasing importance of local leaders amid the dysfunction of the federal government.

0:00.0	From CAFE, welcome to stay tuned.
0:03.0	I'm Preet Barara.
0:04.6	One of the things that Democrats have to offer is a sense of creating fellowship
0:08.6	and re-establishing the threads that unite us rather than figure out which ones divide us. You don't need a genius to
0:14.8	identify things that divide us. You need a leader who could identify the things that remind
0:20.0	us of our fellowship.
0:23.2	That's Ram Emanuel.
0:24.7	He's had a storied career in public service as a Stafford to President Bill Clinton as a

0:54.7	significant response from federal and state governments to the rapidly evolving
0:57.9	coronavirus threat, but Emmanuel's focus on local public servants as our country's

1:05.5	We talk about whether good presidents are ruthless, and if any of our public figures today have

1:17.0	That's coming up. Stay tuned. Hey stay tuned listeners if you haven't heard already on Tuesday we taped a special
1:28.8	episode of the Cafe Insider Podcast all about the coronavirus. Usually each week former New Jersey AG
