In her recent Foreign Affairs Magazine essay, 'The Perils of Isolationism,' former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice emphasizes the symbiotic importance of America's relationship with other major powers in the world. However, amidst aggression from China, ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine, and a mounting sense of unease in the Middle East — how can America continue maintaining its global leadership and influence while ensuring conflict across the globe doesn't worsen?

Former Secretary Rice joins Bret to answer these pressing questions and go further in-depth about where America stands on the world stage.
