  • Terrible coverage of current events.

    I am getting less and less satisfied with the way CNN is covering the most critical current events. They are not discussing all sides of the issues. I am going to unsubscribe.

  • Unbelievable how you are becoming more and more alarmist. Isn't FOX news enough? You have people literally lying and you allow them to continue. In addition, you invite the LIARS back. It's one thing to allow different viewpoints and quite another to permit liars who shout talk over others.

    If I hear it again, I am done with Blitzer. I don't listen for or from rage/fear. Stop!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Controversial Pulte Picked to Replace Gabbard
Q: How concerned are experts about the Trump-Netanyahu call and its implications for policy?
Experts suggest the call signals tensions and a need for off-ramps on the Iran deal, with ongoing pressure from Lebanon and Iran influencing U.S. strategy.
Controversial Pulte Picked to Replace Gabbard
Q: What qualifies Bill Pulte to be in charge of the DNI given his background?
The White House has highlighted his management experience in sensitive matters at the mortgage agencies, but critics say his lack of formal national security background is a concern and could reflect a political rationale.
Cave Rescue!
Q: What makes this cave rescue so dangerous and how do rescuers manage the risk?
Experts explain that the combination of tight three-dimensional passages, ice-cold water, narrow squeezes, and vertical climbs creates extreme physical and mental strain for both rescuers and survivors, necessitating meticulous planning, step-by-step guidance, and calm, trained personnel to prevent panic and mistakes.
Billion-Dollar Backlash
Q: Do you think these charges could also be a pretext for military operations against Cuba, similar to what we saw in Venezuela?
Donalds expresses reluctance to extrapolate to military action, asserts that indictments are the judicial process but emphasizes the president would decide on any action, with skepticism about rapid escalation given current leadership in Cuba.
Slain Security Guard Was Father of Eight
Q: What is the latest on the investigation into the San Diego mosque attack?
Authorities are treating the case as a hate crime, with the two teenage suspects dead and weapons found with possible hate speech; ongoing interviews focus on the mother's calls and the suspect's profile.
