  • Israeli UN Ambassador, Danny Danon

    Amanpour delivered a masterclass of journalism: showing the highest degree of respect, while not allowing opaque dishonesty overlooked. I was screaming into my headphones, she asked literally every question that I wanted answers for. I still don’t REALLY know those answers—he never gave a direct response (but maybe that’s the answer).

    MY POINT: this the best-of-best journalist. Bravo.. and thank you.

  • Stick with Amanpour!!

    Christiane is the only person from CNN whose podcasts I still listen to for news. She serves it up intelligently with integrity and without an agenda.

  • Please Don’t Interrupt

    If Christiane could somehow learn to NOT interrupt important guests like David Petraeus, then I would be able to hear what Mr. Petraeus has to say, in response to her pointed questions. Rather than hearing incessant, indignant, and disrespectful interruptions from Ms. Amanpour. Let the man speak !! That is the purpose of the interview for God’s sack! Learn some respect!

    Just my observation

    Greetings, Christian. I enjoyed a segment of your recent program on Elon Musk's political views and interference in other nations' elections through his “X” media. I do, however, wish you would address the influence of AIPAC on elections in the free world, particularly in England and the USA. A review of Jimmy Carter's dated interviews may illuminate your listeners. As always, I view your program as the best, most informative, and enlightening.

    Kind Regards

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is Trump's End Game for Iran?
Q: Do you have any clear idea of the exit strategy and the precise goals two weeks into the war?
The exit strategy is likely one of two things: either an uprising against the regime or a decision by the president to call it off after achieving initial targets.
Growing Uncertainty Over Iran's Future
Q: How reliable are AI systems like Maven in military operations?
Despite claimed high accuracy, real-world performance has been inconsistent and often much lower, raising concerns about automation bias and accountability in life-and-death targeting decisions.
Growing Uncertainty Over Iran's Future
Q: What does the killing of Iran's top security officials mean for the regime's future?
It signals a potential decapitation of the top leadership, which could spur hardline consolidation and a tougher stance, but it also creates instability and could provoke internal power struggles as factions vie for influence.
US Allies Reject Trump's Call for Help
Q: What is the likely NATO response to the Strait of Hormuz stalemate?
The guest argues that NATO's role would be defensive and limited to protecting sea lines of communication, with open questions about whether troops would be committed and where the occupation risks would lie, given the complexity and potential for escalation.
Special Report: On the Ground in Iran
Q: In it, you said Congress must step in immediately to stop the military action. Explain.
Senator Kim argues Congress must provide explicit authorization and oversight, emphasizing the constitutional mandate and public accountability before continuing or expanding military action.
