please welcome, brian stelter!>> stephen: you should. i don't understand why anybody's on tv without people chanting their name. ( laughter ) it seems like a waste of camera special education. nice to have you here, mr. stelter. big news today -- >> what? >> stephen: governor cuomo resigns. as a media professional, as a communications analyst, what did you make of his speech? > well, i was sleeping. i took a nap. i slept through it. my kids get up at 5:00 a.m. by noon, i get exhausted. i saw he was about to give a speech and i thought, he's not going to resign so i went to sleep. >> stephen: you hit the hay. no way he was going to resign. you know the ideas trump was going to get carried out of the white house hanging on to the desk, i thought that was going to be quoam o. then i wake up and my wife is telling me to wake up, come see the speech. i thought he buried the lead. he went onbound onbound on and then mentioned he was resigning, that's bad practice. >> stephen: and then went off of that into the legacy of

brian stelter. perfect company man. are you applauding him or the joke?he cuomo crisis on colbert. >> "new york times" reporting that's true. chris was helping his brother. has it created any conflict at cnn behind close doors? are people mad at him? is he in trouble question might >> some people are mad at him. i have a source that since chris was on the phone with his brother this week. >> is your source named cuomo? >> it is not. you need to have boundaries. you need to draw a line. >> he doesn't have boundaries. >> does. i don't know about the governor. >> greg: he said there's nothing in the journalism ethics books on how to deal with the situation. i guess it doesn't have a section on "duh" either. nice to hear someone mention boundaries when talking about the cuomos. limited chuck todd. >> his career was either permanently over our almost permanently over and he chose the path almost permanently over. i expect in my lifetime andrew cuomo to probably run for office again. >> greg: chuck had only got five years to live. but the body is not even cold

. >> brian stelter joins us now. that was quick.the shortest host of jeopardy ever. maybe this is will be a quiz show question in the future. mike richards taped five episodes yesterday. new season began yesterday in production in west hollywood. so he taped five episodes but now he's out and today's tapings are canceled and guests hosts will be back starting next week. all of this leading up to the new season premier on television in september. this is going to be a special moment, a handing of the torch from the alex trebek era off to a new host of jeopardy. sony picked mike richards because he's the executive producer of the show and they thought he did a great job when he tried out. but it was a very controversial choice a couple of weeks ago. there were a lot of other guest hosts who were very curious or very disappointed that the producer of the show was suddenly becoming the host. and it doesn't seem like sony did much vetting of him. because the ringer published quotes on wednesday showing a lot of offensive remarks in richa

cnn's brian stelter has the answers to your questions. >> welcome to "jeopardy!"s, out from the host podium, just one day after he started taping the new season. and now "jeopardy!" a show synonymous with smart, is mired in scandal over richards' offensive comments about women and minorities and sony's failure to vet him. >> everyone is talking about this. >> reporter: richards is a long-time tv producer and host who became the "jeopardy!" executive producer last year. he briefly overlapped with alex trebek, who kept hosting during pancreatic cancer treatments. when trebek died, they needed a new star. ken jennings filled in first. and then richards. >> and now here is the executive producer of "jeopardy!" mike richards. >> reporter: he implied that he was filling in because a-listers like savannah guthrie and aaron rodgers could not get to l.a. as covid cases were on the rise there. >> it was very literally at the last minute that the decision was to step in and keep the show going. >> reporter: some viewers liked him a lot, but questions persisted about his dail

cnn chief media correspondent and host or anchor of "reliable sources" brian stelter joins us. this is not a one, two, three strikes you're out. this is her fourth infraction. why is she allowed to continue spreading misinformation? >> you got it. there are five strikes on the twitter platform. she is up to number four with covid misinformation. every time she does it, every time twitter takes action they suspend her for a longer period of time. now she is timed out for a week and eventually will become more severe. to your question why is it acceptable at all, it is because twitter is trying to balance the needs and expectations of its users to find accurate information and not be lied to and not see dangerous information with pressure from right wingers like marjorie taylor greene who say they should have unencumbered access and say whatever they want on the platform. it is ultimately a private platform. twitter can do whatever it wants, but every time it takes the action it invites a backlash from the like of mtg. >> also on the misinformation account and accountability, dom

brian stelter is the most shameless person in america news media.is shameless and a shame. you have to go out of your way to figure out how to put some kind of positive spin on it, which becomes absurd. it is the theater of the absurd. he is ignoring it because he is linked to the problems that exist. to say that you are the highest rated show on a day on cnn is not saying much at all. you also don't want to say i was the best car wreck and people slowed down a lot to watch the disaster that's unfolding. this is for a network that likes to shame other networks and takes the high road and say they are better than everyone else, to be making excuses for this individual who has participated in covering up dynamics by helping his brother if you will, that's the shamefulness and they need to step up and admit it and try to get some some kind of a high road here. they're not doing it yet. >> harris: we'll see, we'll cover the news as it happens. it hasn't happened yet. tammy bruce was in focus today and i'm grateful. thank you for watching "the faulkner f

i'm brian stelter.uly there were numerous news stories about phil valentine, a conservative talk show host in nashville, who had downplayed covid-19 for months before getting sick and getting hospitalized. his family members said he regretted his vaccine mockery, and there is no doubt that he did. the vaccine almost certainly would have kept him out of the hospital. valentine's condition worsened earlier this month and the news stories stopped, the updates on his condition stopped. and now i am sorry to report that phil valentine has died. as i said, he did eventually express regret at questioning the vaccine, but that came too late. and these news headlines this weekend are all about this one example, this one life lost too soon after battling covid-19. that brings me to this stage now and donald trump who was at a rally in alabama last night getting cheers from the crowd, cheers that suddenly came to a halt when he touted the vaccine. >> take the vaccines, i did it, it's good, take the vaccines. that'

because when you have brian stelter defending you, well, your story is already over. >> kayleigh: yesrian going on to say we covered this as we would have any other story, except the fact that your 8:00 p.m. hour, your prime time hour stayed woefully silent through all of this. do you believe a word of what brian seltzer is telling us? >> no. it's usually the case in the situation. and he is an impressive figure because not only is he the senior media correspondent for cnn and also the host of reliable sources, but also apparently is the lead in crisis management and p.r. so, boy to balance four jobs like that is very impressive, except he is not very good at any of them. that was more of the cringe worthy interviews you will see on colbert. kudos to colbert calling him out in who his sources are who else would know about chris cuomo talking to his brother than chris cuomo. so, anyway, you have got to look at this objectively though. all right? the way you do that is to read chris cuomo's own words. in may, quote: i understand why this was a problem for cnn it will not happen again, h

brian stelter joining me now. so brian, what are we learning in this lawsuit?t wing tv trifecta. they filed suit against fox news and now they are suing news max and one america news. but to the tune of almost $2 billion alleging defamation because the channels were pushing vote fraud lies last winter. here is a quote saying news max and oan and both endorsed and amplified a series of false lies about dominion in order to serve their own commercial purposes. company suing patrick burn saying he's responsible for bank rolling and promoting a campaign about dominion that reaches millions of people. they're suing to set the record straight. they were pushing voter fraud lies last winter. so dominion and smartmatic trying to clear up their names. an we so show you the other figures that have been sued to hold people accountable for the big lie. it is news max, it is oan and figures like mike lindell and rudy giuliani. these might take months or years to wind through the system but it is a effort by the voting companies to set the record straight. >> an effort to se

meanwhile steven colbert last night converted cnn brian stelter about his colleague's involvement inis brother. is that created any conflict at cnn behind closed doors? is he in trouble? like some people are mad at him. i have a source that chris is on the phone this brother this week. >> he is not he is not. you've got to have a boundary she got to draw lines for. >> he doesn't. >> he does actually break. >> really? i think chris does i don't about the governor. laughably claimed all of this is uncharted territory. but you did is inappropriate you are on the phone with your brothers aids of course are going to talk to your brother. >> they didn't talk about his brother with the trouble started. >> is also a management ruling. >> he was that way when his brother was on the show pretty much every night during the covid crisis. it seemed like an odd conflict of rules for. >> it is an odd conflicts. we open the journals of ethics but there's no page for this. will chris keep the prime time news getting her worldly brothers cuomo fall together? the panel is back it's been a few years as

we have brian stelter who is driving around looking for pockets of concern. , i'm a weather geek, chris. i hopped in a car after reliable sources. we're in battery park, the lower tip of manhattan we'll flip the dash cam on as we make our way across lower manhattan towards the south end seaport. these areas were under water during super storm sandy. it's remarkable to see the amount of rain that some of these communities are dealing with. right now the flash flood warnings have expired in new york. in connecticut, new london, groton, we're seeing those flash flood warnings right now. these different rain bands sitting on different areas. people who were watching the concern here on cnn last night, when you saw that tremendous rain band come into central park, we now know it was the w wettest hour in new york city history. almost two inches, a record going back more than 100 years. it might tell us something about the new normal of climate extremes. you see the dash cam here, nothing major to report in the city. the governor and the mayor are pretty pleased wit

>> i am brian stelter. i'm currently out once. please leave a message. any ideas for dessert. press 1 for flynn flintstone. >> yabba dabba doo! >> greg: fitting. think about it. as we watched aris walls into power, what were we doing? we obsessed over white supremacist and january 6th with our commander-in-chief yelling, never mind the bin laden look like with the rocket launcher. it's the white guy wearing face paint and a viking hat we've got to eliminate. check out this graphic about potential terror threats from the dhs. it has aged as well as steven taylor space. you wonder why kabul fell faster than joe biden walking up a flight of stairs, how about viewing opposition to mask mandates is the same threat as terrorists. talk about making all threats relative including your relatives. yeah, your aunt who wants election transparency is no different than people who flew planes into american buildings. now when your bag goes through x-ray screening at the airport, tsa won't be looking for bombs. they'll be looking for trump teachers. so your uncle who won't get vaccinated unti

even brian stelter is saying you've got to go. you've got a problem, you've got to fix this.it really bad to not heed advice from your burros? what you think guns? >> there is a lot of words to describe the cuomo's i'm a ghost chris opposite the governor when he did makes me sick. what he did was sexual harassment. but then he pathetic latched onto his brother for day in and day out there chuckling with each other and everything. but when it hits the fan he all the same goes silent does not address it on his show. i feel like he kind of owes it to the small amount of years that he has two at least acknowledge it pretty could have lied to them and said legally i can't talk about this. but this is what you're dealing with it with the power-hungry people at the cuomo's. you also look at the video the governor put out, what was that? as the ultimate cringe right there. it shows how out of touch they are. and kat, people been canceled for tweets. they have been canceled for a lot less than what the governor did. the fact he will not even really acknowledge it and he still going st

so brian stelter decided to do double duty for cnn.ot in the storm car and has been driving around seeing what's happening with the pockets of flooding in the area. what's the latest? >> we're in lower manhattan. we'll show you a couple of cool sites by the south street seaport. we'll take the roof cam and show you where we are near the skyscrapers in lower manhattan. i'll try out the remote control. something called an aqua fence on some of the buildings. you'll see this blue fence surrounds the building, surrounds the drugstore, surrounds the starbucks. it's meant to keep water out in case the east river did overflow its banks into lower manhattan. however, that's not hang. there's no sense that's going to happen. this does seem like the city has been spared by the tropical storm. that said, though, there is a flood advisory issued by the national weather service, specifically for brooklyn and queens for the next couple hours because of a heavy rain band you can see from the roof cam is having a real impact on the city. i was thinkin

here to discuss that aspect is the anchor of reliable sources and cnn chief media correspondent brian stelterynical about the government's covid response. some people feel misinformed, uninformed, and in the last typhoon days we have seen reversal on guidance. masks are required again, even for vaccinated people, and the cdc is reporting that in some extremely rare cases fully vaccinated people can spread the virus. science is a process, right? and with this unprecedented virus you can expect new data to change the approach. but at some point people get worn out, not just with misinformation, but legitimate messaging that is accurate, but can appear contradictory, especially if it doesn't fit neatly into a headline. >> yes, because even accurate but cherry-picked data can be misleading. one of the key numbers this weekend is that 99.93% of fully vaccinated americans have not tested positive for covid. in other words, the vast majority of americans who have been vaccinated have not become ill with this virus. and yet the numbers and the headlines in the last few days from outlets like "the was

i'm brian stelter. let's measure coverage of afghanistan. many are clutching onto hope.e evacuations from the country, although it has really slowed down in the past couple of days since the bombing at the airport. this is a complicated, consequential international story, but all of it is covered through a political lens. i want to ask several guests if the media has been missing the mark in coverage of the withdrawal and in the events of afghanistan. is the story being too simplified? let's bring back azrat khan, she's back with me. james fallows and eric boehlert. what has gone wrong with the coverage in your view? >> the american media have three big responsibilities. number one, to tell the story and humanize the story, and i think with some obvious exceptions, there has been a lot of coverage of the news and people understand the drama of what's happening on the ground. the second thing the media need to be involved in is accountability on how these things happen, on the military side, the civilian side. the third thing the media needs to do is keep this in perspect
