Summary

In just three days, America chooses it’s next president. Republican Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw joins Christiane to explain why Donald Trump is an easy choice when compared with Kamala Harris, and makes the case for why Trump’s policies will be better for Americans. Next, with control of congress also at stake on November 5th, Democrat John Avlon tells Christiane about his own campaign to flip seats in the New York race that could decide the balance of power in Washington. Then, CNN’s Tamara Qiblawi investigates how the IDF’s targeting of Hezbollah in Lebanon has threatened the country’s healthcare system. Plus, Actress Keri Russell and show creator Deborah Cahn speak with Christiane about their love letter to the U.S. State Department, in Season 2 of “The Diplomat.” From her archive, Christiane revisits her conversation with the late King Hussein, marking 30 years since the Israel-Jordan peace accords, and the last time Middle East peace seemed within reach. Finally, Christiane and Bill T. Jones sit down at BAM in New York to reflect on the revival of his dance theater production “Still/Here,” originally created during the height of the AIDS epidemic, and explores the enduring themes of mortality and resilience.
