    Oct 30 2024
    Speaking from the Ellipse in Washington last night, where Donald Trump had rallied his supporters on January 6th, Kamala Harris reminded voters of the Capitol insurrection and Trump's outspoken threats to democracy. The former president continues to stoke fears of widespread voter fraud, making unfounded allegations to assert that if he doesn't win, the whole thing is rigged. Congressman Dan Crenshaw was among a handful of Texas Republicans who voted to certify the 2020 presidential election. But today he's sitting firmly in Trump's camp, and promoting his vision for America. He joins the show from Texas.

    In Tbilisi, Georgia, voters have come out to protest the results of this weekend's elections, as opposition leaders claim the vote was tainted by Russian interference. Outside observers report "troubling" conditions, citing "pervasive intimidation" of voters inside and outside polling stations. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili is leading the opposition response. She says recognizing the elections "would be tantamount to legitimizing Russia’s takeover of Georgia."

    Former Trump Officials Sound the Alarm, While Some Are Back in His Camp
    Oct 26 2024
    This week, Christiane explores why some former Donald Trump officials are backing him again, despite warnings from senior figures like John Kelly and General Mark Milley that a second Trump term would see him govern as a fascist. Gordon Sondland was Trump’s former EU Ambassador, testified against him during his impeachment trial, was fired, and is now backing him again. He joins Christiane to explain his change of heart. Legendary investigative journalist, Bob Woodward, discusses his new book “War," what he learned about Biden while chronicling his presidency, and warns that a second Trump term should worry everyone. Then, Stacey Abrams and Melissa Etheridge speak with Christiane about the role of protest music in shaping politics in their new documentary Louder: The Soundtrack for Change.

    Is Israel Using Human Shields in Gaza?
    Oct 24 2024
    A UN report warns Gaza is at "breaking point" and that Israel's relentless bombing has reduced life expectancy, education and standard of living back to 1955 levels. The IDF justifies its attacks, claiming Hamas and Hezbollah are deeply embedded among civilians. Which makes a new report particularly horrifying. Correspondent Jeremy Diamond investigates claims that Israel is forcing Palestinians to act as "human shields" in Gaza, to avoid putting its troops in harm's way.
