The Bottom Line

Misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories have filled the vacuum left by the mistrust of media and politicians, which makes people doubt all information - both good and bad.

This has led to real-world consequences, such as the belief among some Americans that the results of the 2020 election could and should be overturned, and the hesitancy of at least one-third of the global population to take the coronavirus vaccine.

Watch the full interview with Richard Edelman, CEO of the public relations giant Edelman, which has been conducting its annual global survey, the "Edelman Trust Barometer", since 2001.

On January 6, 2021 - a day that will be marked in the history books - supporters of Donald Trump stormed the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. That morning the outgoing president had fired up his supporters during a rally called Save America, by repeating his promises to “never concede” election defeat and demanding that his devotees “show strength.”

So what do recent events mean for Trump's political future?

Congressman Joaquin Castro (Democrat-Texas) and Republican strategist John Feehery tell host Steve Clemons that it may not be worthwhile to remove him from office in his last days. But will Trump's stranglehold on the Republican Party continue? And is civil disagreement still possible in today's United States?

Dr Anthony Fauci tells host Steve Clemons that the United States can go back to “normal” in the fall (autumn, which starts in September) of 2021 if 70-85 percent of Americans get vaccinated by the summer.

Warning that “things will likely get worse as we go into January” due to holiday gatherings, the chief medical adviser for President-elect Joe Biden said that more must be done to convince Americans that the global pandemic is a public health issue, not an issue of individual rights.

In this wide-ranging interview, Dr Fauci answers your questions, such as, “Do I need to wear a mask after I get the vaccine?”

A coalition of 50 grassroots movements across the United States is demanding a “fundamental shift” in US national security and foreign policy.

Progressives are a minority in the Democratic Party and they have been trying to pull the establishment to the left for years. Some progressives have been hired to the Joe Biden administration, along with a majority of traditional bureaucrats.

Yasmine Taeb, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC, tells host Steve Clemons that Biden’s team “understands that we're going to be holding them accountable to some of those campaign promises … that they made to progressives.”

Daniel Yergin, an expert on energy, geopolitics and the global economy, explains how the advent of US shale oil has changed the dynamics of power, forcing Gulf states to rethink their futures, and how the transition to a zero-carbon world is still far-fetched.

Nations and corporations are increasingly torn between allegiance to the US or China, and this trend will shape the 21st century.

Yergin tells host Steve Clemons that although there is no competitor to US military power or the dollar now, more governments will be attracted to the Chinese model, because it comes without lectures about human rights or peoples’ right to dissent.

As national security adviser to President Donald Trump for more than a year, John Bolton was in “the room where it happened:” the inner circle of aides who had almost daily access to the president.

He tells host Steve Clemons that what he saw astonished him: “I believed that inevitably the weight of the responsibilities of the presidency … would affect Trump the same way they did every other American president. And I turned out to be wrong about that.”

Bolton reviews US foreign policy and warns the Biden administration that it will be difficult to recreate the Iran nuclear deal.
