A TURBULENT START TO 2026

We take a deep dive into how Trump’s America has shaken up the world order, just days into the new year. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders responds to the tragic shooting of a U.S. citizen by an I.C.E operative. They also discuss President Trump’s claim that the U.S. will control Venezuela and its oil reserves for years. Then, Christiane speaks to former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos about the threat facing his country as the U.S. leans into Latin America. Correspondent David Culver then takes us to the Colombian border, to show how the nation is beefing up its border security. Plus, a cultural reprieve with actor Ethan Hawke, as he tells Christiane about portraying Broadway legend Lorenz Hart in his new film “Blue Moon”. From the archives, a report on the historical failure of U.S. nation building in Iraq, and the students who told Christiane about the high price their country paid for international intervention. And finally, we take a look back at Christiane’s conversation with Nicolas Maduro back in 2014 and the confident composure that ultimately contributed to his downfall.
