  • 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.

Can Cruise Ship Outbreak be Contained?
Q: Could hantavirus cause another shutdown similar to COVID?
Dr. Gupta explains that the risk of a pandemic is very low, with the reproductive number only just above one and transmission tightly linked to close contact during symptoms, which reduces the likelihood of a COVID-like global outbreak.
War Powers, Gas Prices, and Security Threats
Q: What's the legal deadline under the War Powers Act and how might a ceasefire affect it?
The guests explain that the War Powers Act imposes a clock for congressional authorization and that a ceasefire is argued by some officials to pause the 60-day clock, but others contend there is no pause button and the clock continues, creating a central constitutional dispute.
James Comey's Indictment and Global Turmoil
Q: You're a former federal prosecutor. How much of an uphill battle will it be to prove this case?
Ellie Honig argues that the central issue is whether the Instagram post crossed into a specific, real threat rather than protected speech, and notes the difficulty of proving beyond a reasonable doubt given the ambiguity of the phrase '86' in context.
Exploding Wildfires, Heightened Tensions, Canada 'Sucks'
Q: What does the insider trading data signal to you about presidential announcements and market behavior?
It suggests a pattern where trading activity spikes around presidential announcements, which could indicate exploitation of nonpublic information or at least a perception of it, prompting congressional inquiry and tighter oversight.
Trump's Fed Pick Grilled
Q: Do you foresee independence from presidential pressure in setting monetary policy?
Yes, Warsh affirmed independence and said he would act in the Fed's lane, separate from political pressures.
