hello dana: bernie sanders described aptly how i feel about the middle east. there is no room for antisemitism or any other violent rhetoric. Bernie makes this clear. So far as Trump and Maga folks are concerned they use the situation as a political lever….. like Trump most of them don’t even know who Fredrick Douglas is, let alone Rabbi Leo Baeck i’m sure they’d say the same of progressives such as myself or bernie. A sort of ideological circular debate. Trump represents the Spirt of our times to a large extent. Again i’m sure his ilk would argue the opposite. netanyahu is nothing like Trump but in my view he is also a Titan and not an Olympian. Another of Trump’s appeal to his base is that of a “bad boy.” Resentment and inferiority feelings might be a common denominator with Hitler and his base. Trump’s appeal is to the shadow of American society, as was Hitler’s to Germany in his day. But Trump’s appeal is quite shallow by comparison. He doesn’t carry the numinous aura of an archetype, which instills fear and trembling. In our time superficial is popular, much more than profound or visionary, and that’s why he’s successful to the degree he is. This is the nature of postmodernity. Trump is, in a sense, a man of these times. Maybe he does belong on the cover of Time magazine after all. He represents well the spirit of these times.” Murray Stein I don’t agree with everything Bernie says, but Bernie forces us to check our projections. Having Bernie uncomfortable for you, i can tell. but it’s brave and a good start. nice work Dana.

I like Jake Tapper that he does an excellent job with the follow up questions and doing his homework on his guest. Diana bash just kind of seems to ask questions and allows them to make false statements without any follow up or correction.

I’m 40 years type 1 diabetic, insulin dependent. What I’m telling you is a fact. I or anyone can go into Walmart pharmacy (for the last ten years) buy a vial of insulin, no prescription, no doctor, no insurance (please pay attention now) for $24. Anytime during the last 10 years. No insurance, no doctor, no prescription, voila. Thus, the hoopla about reducing insulin costs is ?

Dana, Great questioning of Donald Trump’s lawyer today.

I am really impressed by Ms. Bash who is always calmed, composed, and clean during interviews.

A great show to hear republican lies. As long as they keep letting the GOP go on the air and spread proven lies they will continue to lose viewers. We are sick of the steamrolling lies and bullies. I will not support air to the lies of the Trumps. Goodbye CNN

These are the people that claimed they had the “smoking gun” of ‘Russian collusion’. Democrats collaborated with the FBI, who were given cover by the corrupt corporate media, to perpetuate the DNC/HillaryPig narrative. Time to SILENCE these evil, pathological liars. They hurt this country every day.

I find it extremely refreshing to hear interviews with leading politicians which do not allow evasive pivots and dismissal of important questions. Holding politicians accountable is fundamental in good journalism. This podcast is especially effective in forcing politicians who dodge and ignore questions to respond. Responsible and honest leaders do not need to ignore questions, pivot, or dismiss topics which they declare to be unimportant. In this age where truth and open discussion are less frequently offered by elected officials, we need more aggressive and hard hitting interviews such as this podcast provides.

quit acting and saying banning automatic weapons and high capacity magazines is up to a imaginary bi-partisan vote. the gop, is totally 100% against banning. biden wants congress to do this because he darn well knows if he does a ban by executive order the next gop that becomes pres will end it and that is why congressional gop need to vote to ban military weapons to civilians. dems are already and have been for years ready to vote to ban them. you know darn well it is republicans stopping a ban so stop saying it is up to both parties. blahhh

I used to always watch CNN and SOTU in particular. However I think this increasing appeal to show “both sides” has really hurt their reporting and reputation. Being well informed does not mean giving air time to cooks that have praised, justified, allowed and sometimes helped plan the attempted 1/6 coup against a legitimately elected government trying to do its constitutional mandate. Every time I see any “official” being interviewed where they are politely allowed to justify their fringe MAGA ideology I just switch podcasts remembering all the pain and suffering their guys brought to this country and it frankly disgusts me. I strongly recommend listening/watching something other than CNN. Good luck with getting ratings up.

I thought the Christie promotional book tour was bad but Tapper suggesting the President invite the twice-impeached, document stealing former occupant to the funeral of the Queen was the stupidest thing said on cable news this week (including the pro-seditionists on the Murdoch channel)

Dana Bash, Jake Tapper: Great Reporting,

Guests say ridiculous things and the only one willing to push back is Jake. Dana doesn’t pivot well to worthwhile follow ups and will ask some variation of the original question before just moving on. It’s infuriating how poor of an interviewer you can be and still have this prestigious position. It’s not about her being too far left (she is btw), but is about her not challenging literally anything that the most ridiculous guests say.

Great guests, but Ms. Bash is a horrible interviewer!

Wwe Wwe Wwe Qwe Wwe Wwe Wwwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwwwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwe Wwwwwe Wwe Wwe Wwe

Make Dana the full-time host. She seems fair and unbiased, unlike Tapper who may as well be broadcasting from Democratic HQ. I just delete the podcast when he is hosting.

Just look at the guest list… 90% leftest… even worst they aren’t challenged on their propaganda.

I like all high level interviews with good questions. However, Dana is why too confrontational. I would like to see her stop repeating the same question when the guest already answered. It feels like harassment

Recently we are not getting new episodes till Monday when the stories are already old

Propagandist crap

But I don’t watch anymore due to the annoying whooshing noise.

Why did you not ask the republican governor Hutchison why he file a motion to make illegal much abortion related procedure, yet during the same interview (at the beginning) he claimed to remove a mask mandate i his state? You (Dana) should’ve asked “why would you not demand a state-wide-mask-mandate BUT you demand what women can/cannot do w/their OWN bodies?” What about “FREEDOM!” C’mon stick up for the LEFT! The RIGHT has an entire media force on their side. We just need the truth media on OUR side and not just trying to sound “UNBIASED” for superficial journalism sake! 🙏

Jake pushed the Russia hoax lie for 3 years.

Great to hear answers from so many high level officials to numerous, tough questions. That said, interviewers sometimes come across as impatient/too aggressive. Please kill the loud, whooshing transition noise — really annoying.

Thank you, Dana, for your challenging but fair questions that clarity issues and controversies. Very interesting and captivating show.

Jake Tapper is such a pathetic little weasel but he loves drinking the democrats piss warm chango though! Lol loser!

Wow, I watched him for the first time tonight and I will say it’s my last. He has an obligation to try to “pretend” to stay neutral and deliver the truth. Sadly, this was not the case. He came off as an old, angry man. Move on and delete him from your programs. You can do so much better. I will try your program again. We all deserve a chance to change and see the error of our ways! In case you’re wondering, I am not some young millennial. I am a white, educated female and I am an independent.

Libtards at their best

More fake news from one of CNN’s biggest liberal operatives.

Unbiased doesn’t mean stupid. You continue to nail the difference between a biased opinion and holding a guest accountable to the truth. That’s a very hard line to walk these days! Keep up the great work.

I love how you interview both sides and try your hardest to hold these ridiculous people accountable. One criticism thou (and it’s not just your show it’s all of them that do these kind of interviews) can’t we just have one less guest and not feel like we’re speed rounding every interview. It seems like all these shows try and jam way too much into one show and then you have to speed y’all and sharply cut people off.

So weak in erasing comments.

Veterans don’t want to privatize medical care

I heard Danna this week. She has balls. Good job !!! Keep pushing those questions don’t let them go there with their talking points .

Hey Bish, it’s really easy for you to say, “make a compromise, take $400/week instead of $600.” I realize that $200/week means nothing to you. Well, that’s a decrease equal to $800/month, the difference between me paying my rent and me being evicted. So why don’t you show some empathy. Think before you say something that stupid, again. People are hurting. I’m hungry. But I’d rather wait a couple weeks to get the right amount then to only get $200. This shouldn’t even be a debate. We break off billions for these corporations but we can’t help citizens? What the f has happened to this country? You and the Republicans have no idea what it’s like to pull state unemployment. It’s appallingly low-mine represents 26% of my prior salary, and I get the max. This whole ordeal has been embarrassing and the GOP’s true colors are exposed. My government doesn’t give an f about me. I am an upstanding citizen, I pay my taxes, I work hard. I’ve never drawn anything from the federal government but the one time I do,I’m made to feel like a freeloading loser.

I couldn’t hear the podcast till the end, CNN, which was the best channel in the US before Trump’s administration. They are just aiming to damage the current president picture, although I am not a supporting him. We need unbiased media not a democratic tool.

This guy’s ratings are so low, he makes Al Sharpton’s look good. Total zero.

When are you going to get really tough on these interviewees? You constantly let them off the hook with their double speak gobbledygook. Dana bash did a much better job. Why not say the truth? You cannot answer this question. You are lying. That is not true. Why are you betraying us citizens.

Please don’t let them gaslight and change the story. The media is our only remaining defense from this criminally malignant administration that has the blood of tens of thousands of people on their hands. How many more will die as a result? Trump has said, many times, that he’s hampered testing. He also refused to take action for three months, yet blames China? He’s also muzzled the CDC and tampered with the real mortality numbers, rejected WHO’s testing which works, hampered the dispersal of medical supplies, sent our protective equipment to China once the virus was known to be here and our medical workers were dying from lack, instigated violence around wearing masks(which can save countless lives)...you have to wonder why it looks intentional and deliberate to create the maximum number of fatalities. Those are important stories. Don’t talk to the mouthpieces, their job is to spin and hide crimes. Talk to the actual people who are trying to save lives. We need to know the TRUTH, to save as many lives as possible. Everything is corrupted by this administration, when you interview the people trying to hide their crimes, you give them a platform to deceive. interview the ones impacted by the truth. The media is our last line of defense. This virus hasn’t even finished the first wave. Why are they thwarting protecting the public??? That’s what we need to know and address. Please ask the right questions to the right people, inform the public and save lives.

Leftist garbage show that usually ends with a brow beating of conservatives. There are so few actual political journalists anymore. Tapper is simply a leftist opinion man, not a journalist.If he can’t be honest about his job description, I can’t take him seriously.

Thanks for your courageous interviews and asking hard questions! But please don’t let them evade or make political speeches!Thank you for speaking up for millions of people!!

Jake, I like your show but I am ashamed of Sen. Rick Santorum! Actually I’m embarrassed to admit that I voted for him in the primary for the presidency. I used to think he had my best interest but now I see that he is a fake. Can you possibly find someone else to represent the Republican Party on your panel? It really bothers me to remember that I ever voted for him. I have to keep changing the channel when he speaks. Help! Thank you Jake.

Do you ever go in public with those views ?? Just curious...

Be a good American and don’t nit-pick the process that protects us.

I am unsubscribing from this podcast - I cannot take the liberal bias talk of Jake Tapper anymore. The sad part is, he apparently does not even know he is bias. I have been watching political shows on TV for decades, and podcasts for many years. I use to be able to hear unbias talk from the moderators - but no more. Sad. I cannot stomach the liberal bias of Jake Tapper anymore, so am unsubscribing. Hopefully CNN will find someone to moderate the show in the future who can be unbias, and then I can start listening again. Jake Tapper - grow up.

Jake you are sharp toned. You interrupt people. Be calmer and less angry sounding!

...inviting Kelly Ann Conway to your show. It’s painful to watch.

It’s good information & very informative, I listen too all of this for a living in the car, the haters need too stop hating and stop living too FOX B-Sfyit news, it’s not helping making America Great again.

Dana Bash is a great interviewer. She is lots better than Jake. For that matter, all the female interviewers on the Sunday shows are better than the male. I am very impressed with Dana.
