he came from italy with nothing for a new life. his family depended on him. he sacrificed so much. isaac payne barney f. hajiro elijah bacon michael valente he is our family's hero. who are the heroes in your family? howie: it never would have happened in russia, vladimir putin forced to take aggressive questions from a free press but he used that forum at the geneva summit to trash america in deeply dishonest way, he couldn't answer why his political opponents keep winding up dead or poisoned and imprisoned. so he did the what aboutism thing, he portrayed the capitol riot as a bunch of ordinary demonstrator, some arrested for, quote, unclear reasons, not the

law breakers they are, some of whom of use brutal violence against police. >> people went into u.s. congress with political demands. 400 people are now facing criminal charges. howie: and then the russian auto crat mentioned black lives matter, as a way of deflecting from murderous tactics. nobody is buying his propaganda and of course america's enemies are going to use our problems against us, but if any russian journalist had asked about the crackdown and the killing of political rivals as abc's rachel scott did, saying mr. president, what are you so afraid of, that person would probably end up behind bars or worse. i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. ♪ howie: ahead, former trump

economic advisor, larry kudlow joins us on a wide range of issues, jon stewart talks up the wuhan lab leak theory, why that turns out to be serious shtick and we'll unveil a feature called buzz beaters. stick around for that. the reality, the geneva meetings didn't accomplish much was less dramatic beginning with pundits trying to analyze the russian leader's body language. >> he looked stern. >> stern? i thought he looked cul. howie: as biden fielded questions, the media split into warring camps over whether the sessions were worth it. >> there was a lot of hype around this meeting. >> what is something concrete that you achieved today and what were the consequences you threatened. >> whether i stopped it from happening again, knows i will

take action, like we did when this last time out. and so there are no threats, just simple assertions made. >> the so-called summit with vladimir putin did absolutely nothing to advance any american interest in any way. that's a fact. >> even if you're a rank partisan, you see that these meetings require real expertise because there are real consequences to being out-maneuvered, which biden was. >> he's not america first because he doesn't want to be the bad guy even if being the bad guy is good for america. he wants to be loved more than respected. >> i can't think of a more successful diplomatic trip in the 21st century than this one, simply because we finally did the basics, we weren't going around talking about wars we were starting or wars that we were in. >> the summit is not only a potential reset for the u.s. slash russia relations, it's a

cap stone for president biden. >> now you'll have the same puppets, pigeons and pawns say biden needed to talk tougher when they said nothing when trump took putin's side over american intelligence? give me a break. howie: joining us now to an a lies the coverage, guy benson, host of the guy benson radio show and podcast and clarence page, columnist for the chicago tribune. the divide isn't between liberals, it's that this was a normal business like meeting that could yield results down the road. what's your take on the coverage? >> i mean, they're rooting for biden. i think most americans are rooting for our president but i also think it's reasonable to ask the he question, to your initial part of the point, howie, what exactly was achieved here aside from these two men

getting together, you mentioned the what aboutism and the shamelessness of vladimir putin. there was a references in the montage to the helsinki summit which i thought was a low moment in the trump presidency but while talks in the word of a president is important, it matters, results matter more and the fact is, in the last week or two we've seen a pipeline green lit by the biden administration or at least they've held off on sanctions which is a big, big, geopolitical strategic win for vladimir putin and then they've also announced the biden administration that they are freezing at least for now some military aid to ukraine which seems like a pretty big deal. i know russia said they were drawing down some troops and let's keep an eye on it but results matter a lot and the media needs to focus on that. howie: even liberal commentators said there were no concrete results but they liked

the tone. would people on your side be so patient under a republican president? >> well, i think the big story here was comparing a helsinki with geneva, comparing biden with president trump, who stood up there next to vladimir putin and said that he believed the word of putin over that of his own intelligence services. guy's right, that was a low point in diplomacy. this time, it's all a he question of expectations, howard. if you expect biden to behave like an experienced politician, an experienced diplomat, someone who know these issues and would not move us closer to world war iii, move us towards more talks to try to end the cyber attacks that are going on in this new cold war, i'd say in those terms he succeeded. howie: the next question, the media built this up to an unbelievable degree, who will

emerge bloody and battered, there were graphics, it's politics over personality and by that standard, and i said this the week before, it was always going to be a bust. >> yeah, i mean, look, people, a lot of folks in the news media they hated him, they all voted against him for the most part. the they were rooting hard for him to lose. but they miss president trump because there was drama with him, for good and for bad. right. and the world war iii comment from clarence, with all respect, i don't think president trump moved us anywhere at all close to another world war. there were peace deals achieved under the trump administration that were pretty historic. so he gave them -- it was a simbiotic, sometimes dysfunctional relationship. you didn't know what he was going to do. it was exciting. there was going to be controversy. they were ready to blow up any story into this international incident. with joe biden it is a little quieter, a little sleepier, you

could say more normal, more traditional. that's fine. but the hype machine is not going to work with a politician like joe biden and rather than doing comparisons, trump versus biden on style, it should be as i mentioned in my previous answer on substance and results. howie: the next day the new york times had a headline praising biden for his stubborn optimism and the washington post praised him for his strategy of pessimism. that clears that up, clarence. i don't know. it didn't seem to matter that the president and his own people were tamping down expectations. tv wanted drama. it was almost a sense of deflation when the meetings were relatively short. >> howard, maybe i'm an -- i am an old man. i remember when this was normal. you didn't expect the president to give you a lot of international drama each time he stepped up at the podium. instead you got what joe biden

gave us, with low expectations, but proof that we're making mo progress, moving in the right directions, that's what americans were looking for when they voted for him, i believe. americans have had a hard time -- really caring about foreign affairs anywhere unless we have american troops involved and a deeper american committee. .howie: we do have new forms of warfare, like cyber hacking. people asked him did you neten t threat -- threaten him, would you retaliate. it could be framed as diplomacy or timidity depending on the point of view of journalists or pundits. >> with all the chest thumping the democratic party has done in recent years about russia and the threat of russia, the rhetoric wasn't as sharp as i was expecting. my critique going in was they

will say the right things and they'll leak with the readout that the president was harsh and he laid down the law and i was going to say okay, that's fine, russia deserves it but to sound like a broken record now, language matters less than action and results and the trump administration i think was pretty tough on russia in terms of their results and policies. i was a little bit surprised that they actually didn't do that. they didn't really try to at least signal to the world that the rhetoric was tough and i would like to know for example some follow-up questions for the media down the line, what was the thought process behind that list of 16 institutions not to attack. seemed like sort of a strange move. howie: okay. but it is hard, clarence, i think for the press to get overly excited when the president himself says oh, you know, we won't really know for six to 12 months whether anything i'm doing is working here. >> well, you know, thank you, guy, great story for our assignment there. but frankly, as far as these

talks were concerned, again, president biden said six months or so down the line we should see some results, that's the kind of pace with which the framers set up our government here, to move slowly and deliberately, not quickly and passionately. we have a situation where the cyber attacks in particular, joe biden accusing russia of cyber attacks is certainly true. it's a terrible thing. but you've got to be careful dealing with that because like you used to say down home, you don't stop preaching. the u.s. is known to make cyber attacks around the world as well. howie: let me jump in here. i need short answers on the last round. what about president biden mending fences with nato allies after the trump years. the media were fawning over that. there was a story, part of the club, biden is a member of the cool kids club. >> he is, much of the european

establishment was rooting for him in the election. trump was more of a disrupter. we know that. that did yield some results. my big question coming out of the g-7, they signed a piece of paper about needing more answers from china about the origins of the virus or else what. you know. that's my biggest open question and it seemed like that statement really didn't have a lot of teeth and entrusting that to the w.h.o. again that failed the first time in china's pocket, i don't view that as a sign of strength. but they definitely all linked arms and did it. howie: clarence, you say boring meetings are what used to be normal, but did the pundits only care about the optics, which is it wasn't a very exciting outcome there. >> howard, that's the pathology of the press that we love conflict. we're drawn to it. and when we don't have visible conflict, it's a bad story for tv. but also remember putin doesn't really care about the united states as much as he cares about

his own constituents in russia. that means he has to come across as strong on the international stage, come across as someone who loves his country and russia first, just like president trump said for america. howie: he tried to play to the western press more than i expected. ahead, larry kudlow on coverage of the biden/putin summit and much more, when we come back. jon stewart says what most of the media would not say for so long, covid could well have come from that chinese lab. ♪ sometimes you wanna go ♪ ♪ where everybody knows your name ♪ ♪♪ ♪ and they're always glad you came ♪ welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you. tracfone wireless gives you more control. just swap your sim card welcome back, america.

jon stewart, the left's favorite comedian was on cbs with stephen colbert when he embraced with a few laughs the theory that had been previously verboten. >> there's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking wuhan, china. what do we do? you know who we could ask, the wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. the disease is the same name as the lab. and how long have you worked for senator ron johnson? >> let me tell you -- [laughter] >> you could be right. howie: guy, why has it gone viral that jon stewart, who is not just a funny man but a social critic, pretty much endorsed the wuhan lab theory on late night television. >> because so many of the guardians of the consensus refuse to even entertain that possibility for months and in fact ridiculed, mocked, punished

and censored people who just articulated an intuitive completely plausible theory that has been viable all along. so for jon stewart to come out and say what he said, where he said it, on colbert's show on cbs, making his friend uncomfortable, enraging online leftist, it was significant because he was pointing out and puncturing the absurdity of the previous conventional wisdom and consensus, that it's a conspiracy theory, when for the reasons he pointed out it makes a lot of sense on its face. we need to get to the bottom of it. we need the actual facts, i hope will eventually come out. but this has always been a viable theory and jon stewart i think in a fun way pointed out exactly why. howie: sometimes comedy can illuminate the truth. it was said on facebook, what --

if it was said on facebook, a month before, your post would have been deleted. colbert didn't seem happy and neither did his audience. >> i'm going to disappoint you by not disagreeing with guy. howie: be my guest. >> i know jon stewart. i love him. i love what he does something like this, goes against conventional wisdom. he did a story on the cross fire show on cnn, on live tv, by pointing out the contradiction. he's not the first person, the first comedian to point out the lab theory, there may be something to it. bill marr had a government health expert on his show, happened to mention it and you could hear an audible gasp in the audience. because this bit of unconventional wisdom, wuhan, there may be something to it,

reinforced on the left and among many of us in the middle and sometimes we go overboard. we should always be open to any option here. howie: i interviewed jon stewart many times. he does delight in this sort of thing and doesn't feel bound by the normal restrictions that, quote, journalists do. plenty of conservative pundits who rip jon stewart for being a left-leaning comedian, are treating him with strange new respect. the national review called this a turning point for comedy and for america. >> well, yeah, because he said something that i think was clarifying, that bucked his own side. so that's interesting. it sort of adds an element to the story that will get your attention. but you howie, to broaden it out beyond the comedic aspect of this, i want the audience to think about what a disgrace to

journalism it is that journalists in the country refuse to seriously consider and give real treatment to a viable theory about where a virus started that has killed 600,000 people in this country. it was not allowed. you could not speak of it. if you did or like senator tom cotton you were raked over the coles. that is an unbelievable failure of journalism over the last year. i'm glad that jon stewart showed up and did what he did. i think it shines spotlight, it's an awkward thing for the media that participated in basically this coverup to the delight of china. that is the opposite of journalism and i think one of the biggest failures of the industry in recent memory. howie: some liberals went nuts online, calling stewart a racist, anti-chinese, all because he broke with the media's disdain for this theory which president biden has ordered a review of this by intelligence agencies. final thoughts.

>> the racist charge comes from different issues, the rage from the left is over president trump's use of china virus and kung-flu that weaponized the wuhan research controversy. that caused a reaction on the left that went overboard as well. fortunately, jon has helped steer us back towards the center. howie: maybe the fact that he's not on tv every day, that gives his words more weight, as does his advocacy for first responders. thanks very much for a great discussion. up next, joe biden goes off on a cnn reporter and then apologizes. what does that say about his view of journalism? and then, larry kudlow is on deck.

geneva news conference when he got clearly irritated with cnn's katlyn collins. >> why are you so confident he'll change his behavior? >> i'm not -- howie: he circled back to reporters before getting back on air force one and said he was sorry. >> i owe my last questioner an apology. i shouldn't have been such a wise guy with the last answer i gave. >> that is completely unnecessary from the president. he did not have to apologize, though i do appreciate that he did there in front of the other reporters. howie: joining us from dallas, steve krakauer. why did president biden go off on katlyn collins over what seemed like a standard question and what do you make of the liberal backlash against her. >> i think that latter point is the real story here and the real disappointment. i don't know what -- joe biden is not used to getting even rehe

moatly challenging questions from most of the media so perhaps a very totally fair question from katlyn collins, joe biden had said that he was confident that vladimir putin understood that continuing these attacks would lower his standing in the world. it was a completely fair question and a it was a kind of fair answer, a fine answer. we should be seeing arguments between press and power. the press should be pushing power to the point that they get a little rankled. the problem is that he says you're in the wrong business. that was completely ridiculous. if we want intellectual consistency, okay, now these kind of exchanges are okay. we know what would have happened a year ago, if it was donald trump in power it woulds have been while male range and this -- white male rage. soledad o'brien called it a stupid question, questioned whether she was acting in good

faith. david axlerod said it was a silly mistake and he was -- joe biden was doing what all politicians feel and this time he actually said and everyone should calm down. this was the kind of response we were getting. it was completely absurd. howie: what things you so confident -- what makes you so confident. it's a completely fair question. he didn't have to take it. did biden redeem himself by making the apology which cnn seemed to love. cnn talked about it a lot. presidents don't usually apologize. >> the framing of the a apology became the story among cnn and others in the media and i guess it was good he apologized, as you mentioned they don't normally apologize. what it shows is that joe biden is just like any other president, whether it's trump, obama, bush, they don't like to have these kind of -- to be pushed by the press. and what we have to understand is that the press needs to be doing that. the problem is, when the press then goes after the press for

somehow to -- oh, you're putting words in his mouth. it was a fair question. the press should galvanize around her. the press should be asking these tough questions. the most amazing moment if you look at this video, peter alexander gives katlyn collins a look like are we really still doing journalism here, i thought that was over in january. it was an you amazing moment. howie: while he was delivering the apology to the pool, the president said this. >> look, to be a good reporter you've got to be negative, you have to have a negative view of life, seems to me -- you never ask positive questions. howie: so maybe he has a point. but the president -- the press doesn't always ask negative questions. the press often asks and should ask skeptical questions, challenging questions, designed to throw a president or any other person off talking points. >> first of all, the negative view of life, what kind of

psycho analysis -- i'm not going to put too much weight on what president biden is saying off the cuff. this was an off-the-cuff moment. of course they should ask challenging questions and joe biden if you're comparing the kinds of questions that, say, a jim acosta was asking donald trump to katlyn collins who replaced him as the new white house correspondent, katlyn collins is asking fair questions, peter acosta was asking absurd, off the wall questions that was there to feed the resistance on twitter. reporters should ask challenging, fair questions as you say. the idea that a president should feel that kind of questioning is negative or inappropriate is completely over the top. howie: biden gets generally favorable coverage. any president can get -- donald trump was much tougher on reporters, accusing them of unfair questions but he got much worse coverage. steve krakauer, thank you.

howie: joining us from connecticut to talk about the media, the biden/you putin summit and other issues, larry kudlow, the former chief

economic advisor to donald trump. donald trump was famously and constantly combative with the press, what would have been the media reaction if he told a cnn reporter you're in the wrong business? >> what do you think? they would have gotten nuts. they always went nuts. you know, look, my thought here is president biden who i think had a very bad week in almost every single area, nonetheless if he had saved all that vehemence and fight for vladimir putin instead of this girl, katlyn collins, we would have been better off. trump would never have gotten away with that. trump could have apologized 10 times and not one in the mainstream media would have reported it. howie: the former president called into fox the other night, the night of the meeting with putin, and he said this. >> i guess the overall is we didn't get anything.

we gave a very big stage to russia and we got nothing. howie: so two-part question. should former president be criticizing his successor on foreign policy five months after the inauguration and when he said we gave putin something with nothing in return, wasn't that the same criticism of his meetings made with kim jong un. >> with kim jong un? well, that's a different story completely. but look -- howie: okay. >> should a former president criticize? okay, maybe in the old days the answer could be no but in the modern era, obama did it to trump, carter did it to trump, george w. bush did it to trump, so all those old rules are out the window. look, the substantive point that president trump is making is exactly right. we got nothing. i mean, in particular, in particular we handed over the nord stream 2 pipeline even before biden got to russia.

lost all sense of leverage. that pipeline was stopped. there -- they're 100 miles short. i worked on that with others. o'brien, my new chin, many -- mnuchin. only germany wanted it. the rest of europe, the g-7 club did not want this pipeline and biden gave it up ahead of time and that's why he had no leverage. howie: you said the other day that after a meeting with somebody like putin, what you would of do when were you in the white house is you would leak the consequences of any adverse action to your favorite reporters and you were kind of puzzled that that wasn't done here. was that one of your ways of carrying out policy? >> look, here's the thing. for these kinds of meetings, it's like a billiard table shot. the two leaders don't always slam each other right next to each other although i think biden made a mistake not having a joint press conference. but my point on that, howie,

just to put it into context, i was referring to this remarkable development whereby den released a -- where biden released a highly classified document regarding the 16 most sensitive infrastructure sectors. now, that is a gift to the hackers in russia. that is target practice to the hackers in china and target practice to the hackers in iran and probably north korea as well. that should never have been put out and incidentally here too he got nothing for it. and it wasn't a complete list. that's the irony of it. it didn't include space. it didn't include oceans. it didn't include other things. it's like as our own john roberts reported in geneva, you have a nice block of homes, you can rob these houses but you can't rob these houses? huh? i don't get that. and he got nothing for it. this was a major blunder on biden's part. howie: major blunder. all right. you said on your show --

>> why hasn't the media covered this, howie? where's the media. we're covering it on kudlow. where's the rest of the media covering this? howie: you said on your show, 70% of the american media probably has the wrong adversary. what does that mean? >> well, yeah, 70% of the american media, by the way, is probably not on the u.s. side. maybe they're on biden's side. certainly weren't on trump's side. howie: on potentially on russia's side? >> well, you take a look. did anybody really criticize vladimir putin? tell me. where was the criticism of vladimir putin? and by the way, where was the criticism of biden? i mean, this was coverage -- this was like, you know, plain vanilla coverage, everything's okay. i don't know what side they're on. but i'm very skeptical, the mainstream is a left wing media. you know that.

we're not breaking news on that point. i'm saying why do you let biden get away with that stuff, releasing classified material on our key sections? why do we let putin get away with it? they didn't even criticize putin who said oh, hackers, we don't hack. the hacking is coming from north america and the u.s. and canada. that's utter nonsense. howie: it's utter nonsense. >> the media is completely wrong. howie: all right. >> the media is completely wrong. wheres the investigative reporting on this? howie: let me get you in on financial policy, president biden pushing a $6 billion budget -- excuse me, $6 trillion budget, in infrastructure, healthcare, climate change. why isn't more of the press warning about blowing up the deficit and the debt? >> well, that's a good question, howard kurtz. actually you and i would probably agree on that. there should be a lot more investigative reporting there, a lot more critical reporting. i want to say again, going back

to this biden trip and the g-7, biden surrendered to the g-7. he surrendered on tax policy. we're now going to have a global minimum tax and we're going to have a windfall profits tax that will fall predominantly virtually completely on american companies. that's part of the $6 trillion plan. remember, you're going to have a 3 or $4 trillion tax hike. you want to hear something, howie he? howie: i've got a few seconds. >> all right. just let me tell you. apple, alphabet, microsoft, verizon, home depot, comcast, facebook, j & j, intel, sony, ibm, p & g, pepsi, lockheed martin, those are the companies that will get the minimum tax and the windfall profits tax which biden has given away at the g-7 in a tax surrender. it's extraordinary. howie: i've got to let you go. the national debt rose nearly $8 trillion in the trump

administration. i'm critical of that spending with both parties. good to see you. thank you for being here. after the break, how the press is covering apologies and a democratic leaderment and new disclosures about donald trump, the justice department and the election. stay with us. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ good night syra. night, drive safe. i love you. drive safe. ok buh bye mommy.

visited the holocaust museum and called a news conference. >> the horrors of the holocaust having that some people don't -- are something that some people don't believe happened and some people deny. there are no comparisons to the holocaust. there are words that i've said and remarks that i've made that i know are offensive and for that i want to apologize. howie: separately, this is not close to being in the same category, chuck schumer on a podcast used an offensive word for mentally impaired people. >> when i first was assemblyman i wanted to billed a living place for retarded children. the whole neighborhood was against it. these were harmless kids. they just needed help. howie: schumer apologized the next day, saying he was sorry for the use of the outdatend and hurt full language. joining us now, mike emanuel. plenty are dismissing the marjorie taylor green apology

because it took so long. what do you make of the reaction and her timing? >> my sense, howie, is we have a forgiving country and she went to the holocaust museum, she went on camera to show you how she felt about it and don't get me wrong, marjorie taylor green said a lot of outrageous things. i'm not here to defend that. she went to the holocaust museum and made a heart-felt apology. we'll see if it's sincere as time goes on. we're a forgiving country, a country that believes in second chances. my sense is she did a pretty good job cleaning up this mess. we'll see if she can clean up other messes along the way. howie: chuck shoe her -- chuck schumer said an offensive word, retarded. is he getting a pass on this one? >> my sense is the mainstream media likes to have marjorie taylor green as a punching bag,

someone they can point to saying she is outrageous. and the senate majority leader says an insensitive thing and the spokesman does cleanup and it goes away pretty quickly. i believe in forgiveness. if i mess up, i hope people will give me a second chance and forgive me. i think it should be a two-way street, whether you have an r next to your name or a d. seems like with schumer seems like he got an easy pass. howie: i was struck, he didn't issue an apology in his own name. the media is shocked by the disclosure by the new york times obtaining a bunch of e-mails that president trump sent through an assistant to the justice department in the final weeks, urging the doj to investigate unproven election allegations that failed in recent lawsuits, threatening to replace the acting ag jeffrey rosen in the final weeks when he wouldn't go along. is this a big story even though

the efforts failed. >> my thought is jeffrey rosen comes out looking like a rock star. he held his ground. i don't think a lot of folks are surprised that president trump wanted to do everything possible to try to hold onto his job as president of the united states. he felt like he should be entitled to another term in office. my sense is, it is a big story to a certain degree, a lot of our colleagues in the mainstream media love having president trump's name out there. it's good for business. but i think a big aspect of whether it's going to be a huge story or not is whether he decides to run again in 2024, it may come up again at that point a. if he stays in retirement then it should fade over time. howie: roseen said in an e-mail that he wouldn't look into a conspiracy theory of a company in italy that was supposed to use satellite technology to tamper with voting machines. i think donald trump is the leader of the republican party and that makes some of this stuff relevant today.

>> absolutely. i think republicans are going to get asked about these kind of findings whenever they come up and asked whether they defend the president or whether they're going to condemn some of the actions that he may have taken in the final days in office and so it puts the gop in an awkward spot, whether he wants to come back as speaker of the house, as president again or whether he decides to a stay in mar-a-lago. howie: mike emanuel, on duty for us. thanks, mike. still to come, chrissy teigen, that and more in our brand-new buzz meter. ♪ ♪ life can be a lot to handle. ♪this magic moment,♪ but there's plenty of magic in all that chaos. ♪so different and so new.♪ ♪was like any other...♪ if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has plans built just for you. switch now and get 2 unlimited lines and 2 free smartphones. ♪so different and so new.♪ and now get netflix on us. it's all included with 2 lines for only $70 bucks!

not a day, not a single moment has passed where i haven't felt regret for things i've said in the past. as you know, a bunch of old awful tweets resurfaced. i'm ashamed of that. piers morgan called her a woke celebrity. she insulted him years ago as a piece of blank. lynn manuel miranda is apologetic about his film. it was said he used too few minorities. he said we fell short. did the who reimagined the founding fathers as black have to apologize for the casting. breaking pink floyd news, roger waters just stuck it to facebook, dropping a bunch of f bombs, he said mark zuckerberg personally offered him a huge amount of money to use a song in

an intake grad ad. he -- instagram ad. he said he turned him back. the answer is f you. no if- ing way. i guess he has some blank you money. yosher ali is a twitter based journalist. hes was praised in a los angeles magazine profile. it reveals that he befriended wealthy women and had breakups. he moved in with kathy griffin and was asked to leave. he moved into a home owned by democratic donor susan buel, took a commission for auctioning off some art and that ended in a financial dispute. ali says he's in therapy and working on his dysfunctional behavior. i got to clean this one up a little bit, a sex scene was cut

from harley quinn's show based on batman. the creators said they showed the animated caped crusader giving pleasure to cat woman. cat woman could not be reached for comment. the new york times was denounced the babylon be has gotten strung. after getting a legal letter, they ran a correction. here's the ceo, seth dylan. >> they're using the information to smear us as being a source of it. it's malicious because they know better. howie: maybe they need a sense of humor. they run headlines, study find links with chrissy teigen.
