PBS/CNNs Christiane Amanpour joined CBSs Stephen Colbert for her second late night comedy show appearance of the week on the Wednesday installment of The Late Show. The duo freaked out over the possibility of a second Donald Trump term and that the rest of the democratic world is similarly freaked out and over the same issues‚ such as American pro-lifers allegedly being comparable to Iran and the Taliban.Amanpour informed Colbert that the rest of the world is watching your electionvery‚ very closely because thatis really preoccupying them. Having had a collective nervousbreakdown the last time.They are trying to proofthemselves againstColbert then interrupted to ask‚ So‚ the world freaked out as much as some of us did?Amanpour qualified her remarks‚ As much as some of you did. Some of the world. I mean‚ there were parts of the world that didn';t freak out. Mostly the autocratic parts of the world.The duo then listed off several people who allegedly would be comfortable with another Trump win‚ including Hungarys Viktor Orban‚ Russias Vladimir Putin‚ Chinas Xi Jinping‚ Turkeys Recep Tayyip Erdogan‚ and Saudi Arabias Mohammed bin Salman.Colbert followed up by declaring that the idea of a second Trump presidency makes Americans fearful. What specifically‚ I assume the world is freaked out about the second possibility.Naturally‚ Amanpour agreed‚ but instead of immediately diving into foreign affairs‚ she claimed the rest of the world is alarmed by American pro-lifers‚ Well yeah‚ I mean look‚ youve just been talking about something freaking out Americans‚ which is this Arizona law from pre-Civil War and that is being really looked at especially in democracies where there are codified women';s rights and human rights. France‚ for instance. On International Women';s Day‚ March 8‚ actually signed into law a constitutional amendment to guarantee a woman';s right to make choices about her own body.If an American state legislature passed legislation with identical language as Frances amendment‚ Amanpour would claim it was a radical‚ right-wing denial of womens rights because the limit in that law is 14 weeks.Amanpour continued‚ insisting that you either support abortion or you oppose human rights‚ This was sort of a demonstrationof will by‚ you know‚ a country that';s verysupportive of your revolution‚to show that this is universalhuman rights and that womenactually need to be treated likeadults and whether it';s Afghanistan‚ Iran‚or the United States‚ a bunch ofgrumpy old man shouldn';t bemaking essential decisions.While Amanpour didnt explicitly say Taliban‚ considering the Taliban runs Afghanistan‚ it should be obvious who she is talking about. The Iran and Taliban analogy isnt new for both Amanpour and Colbert. Hillary Clinton used the analogy in a softball December 2022 interview with Amanpour‚ while Colbert used it in a March 2023 rant against the Supreme Court.Here is a transcript for the April 10 show:CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert4/11/202412:05 AM ETCHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: In the world‚they are watching your electionvery‚ very closely because thatis really preoccupying them.STEPHEN COLBERT: So‚ theyAMANPOUR: Having had a collective nervousbreakdown the last time.They are trying to proofthemselves againstSTEPHEN COLBERT: I guess‚ I really didnt take that into account all the time.
