Could Trump Really Invade Canada? | Christiane Amanpour Presents
The longer conversations drew attention. Across six uploads on Christiane Amanpour Presents: The Ex Files, the two full episodes each approached 100,000 views, while the shorter excerpts reached much smaller audiences.
Tina Brown joined Christiane Amanpour as guest co-host, bringing the former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor's perspective to a podcast built around the meeting of journalism and government. The week's most watched upload, "Could Trump Really Invade Canada? | Christiane Amanpour Presents", asks how seriously Canada should take Trump's threats to make it an American state. Recorded on October 5, it also turns to institutional responses to sexual assault allegations, Brazilian politics and royal-family news.
A specific correction recurs beneath the Canada conversation: viewers point out that Mark Carney is Canada's prime minister, not a premier. That distinction became a talking point alongside the episode's larger question about sovereignty.
The other full episode, "Can They Execute Christa Pike A Third Time? | Christiane Amanpour Presents", examines capital punishment through what its description presents as failed execution attempts. Amanpour also discusses her experience visiting a death-penalty facility. Both full conversations remain the channel's strongest sources of daily views, followed by Brown's midterm commentary in "'He's completely lost the plot'".
The channel gained about a thousand subscribers over seven days, although its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. Among nearby podcast channels, Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker had a particularly active week. For The Ex Files, the substantial conversations, rather than their short excerpts, account for the largest audiences among the new uploads.
