Ian Bremmer: Hi, I’m Ian Bremmer, with my friend Ashton. Ashton Kutcher: Hi, I’m Ashton Kutcher, in LA, with my friend Ian. Ian: There we go. We thought we’d do the World in 60 Seconds for you. Ashton: 60 seconds. Ian: That’s it. Ashton: That’s it. Ian: Ready? Ashton: Whole world? Ian: Whole world. All your questions. Ashton: Get ready. Ian: We ready? Go. Ashton: The World in 60 seconds. North Korea: will China clamp down? Ian: No, they’re not going to clamp down, and South Korea and the United States are going to collaborate more as a consequence. Ashton: Not at all? Ian: Chinese hate that, I know. It’s rough, but no, they’re not going to clamp down. Ashton: As deep in trouble as they are in right now? Ian: As deep in trouble. Ashton: They don’t want support? Ian: The Chinese ultimately do not want North Korea to fall apart. They’re not willing to go hard. Ashton: Okay. Syria: who benefits more from peace talks failing: ISIS or Assad? Ian: Bashar Assad. He’s taking more territory every day. The Russians love it. Ashton: It’s unbelievable. Ian: Isn’t it horrible? Ashton: It’s crazy. Ian: I know, nonetheless, ISIS still getting hit. Ashton: It’s crazy. Alright. US elections: is Rubio a serious contender? Ian: He is a serious contender, but I think it’s too early to say. I think there are still three or four. Ashton: What about that last debate? Ian: It was pretty bad. Ashton: Chris Christie kind of beat him up a little bit. Ian: He said the same thing every time. Ashton: Even after he got called out on saying the same thing, he said the same thing. Ian: Many times. I think there are still a good four candidates on the Republican side that could get the nomination. Ashton: Okay. India: in 15 years, could they get a permanent seat… [Off-mic]: Time. Ashton: Was that 60 seconds? [Off-mic]: That was 60. Ashton: I talked too much. We gotta finish the question. I took some of your speaking time. Ian: You did. Ashton: People don’t want to hear what I have to say. Ashton: India: in 15 years, could they get a permanent seat on the Security Council? Ian: I think it is more likely in 15 years-time that the Security Council doesn’t exist than any new permanent seats are going to be established. Ashton: But you believe that about any multi-national organization. Ian: The G-Zero will tell you that. There you go. Ashton: He hates multi-national organizations. Ian: I don’t hate them. I just don’t think they’re as strong as most people believe they are. Ashton: He didn’t like Woodrow Wilson, and he doesn’t like this. Ian: League of Nations. That was your favorite international organization? Ashton: I’m just saying. It’s kind of like the first international organization, right? Ian: Ashton’s old-school. Look at the hat! Okay, buddy. Good seeing you. Ashton: Good seeing you.
