howard: this is media buzz. i'm howard kurtz. ahead we'll talk to jason miller, a top trump strategist. as coverage of the coronavirus intensifies, the u.s. had a record shattering 77,000 new cases thursday, mor more than 70 on friday. the media are tightly focused on a war of words between the trump administration and anthony fauci with the white house sending reporters a list of what it calls the past mistakes. >> dr. anthony fauci, the white house is smearing him, putting out talking points against him as though he were a political opponent. >> the white house campaign to undermine dr. fauci is dishonest, disgusting, deranged and at a time of a deadly pandemic it is the ultimate in irresponsibility. >> i don't know the political benefit of going after one of your top medical experts in the middle of a pandemic. i don't see the upside. >> there has been a sunlight slight uptick in -- slight uptick in covid deaths this month but the death toll is nowhere near where it was in april. that's good news in a difficult situation. they

then, in 2001, another loss -- howard's father passes away. >> he was the rock that i think kept howardogether in terms of having a connection to somebody, and i think it was kind of devastating for him. >> he started to spiral, he started to lose focus. >> at the same time, howard's business becomes one of the many wiped out by the internet. when you need that picture of gary coleman or david hasselhoff fast, why call howie from brooklyn when you can instantly download your choice of shots from an online catalog? for the next several years, howard lives off his savings, but eventually lands on the street, moving his trove of pictures to those five storage units in coney island. >> he loved the pictures so much, he would go without eating. it was his life and made him who he was. >> then in the spring of 2012, howard tells his cousins he fears for his life. he even makes a fatalistic request, in connection with his favorite show, "the lone ranger." >> somehow, he identified with that character. he told me at the time we make his tombstone, he wanted the word "lone ranger" somehow brough

howard: this is media buzz. i'm howard kurtz. we begin with a story the media have pounced on for the last 36 hours, president trump commuting the sentence of his long-time pal and informal advisor, roger stone who was to be begin serving a prison term of 40 months next week for lying in the russia probe. >> roger stone was treated horribly. roger stone was treated very unfairly. roger stone was brought into this witch hunt, this whole political witch hunt in the mueller scam. >> this is the most corrupt and cronyistic act in perhaps all of recent history. >> this president continues to use the levers of power and the justice department to protect himself and his cronies, punish the people who speak out or try to rein him in. >> i think the president felt as though this was not a fair trial in the district of columbia. frankly, good luck if you're a friend of donald trump trying to get a fair trial there. howard: joining us now to analyze the coverage, ben domenech, founder and publisher of the federalist, gillian turner and clar

howard: yes, it is. whether the united states of europe overstates the case -- it does -- but clearly kind of a rubicon has crossed here. they have agreed to collectively guarantee borrowing. that has been something which the germans and others have held out against for quite a long time. that i think is a very important moment and suggests that the arguments for solidarity, the work that doesn't translate well into english, that the argument for solidarity in europe have won the day, at least temporarily. so i do think it is an important moment. you can see by the fact that it took them four days to get there that they were overcoming serious issues. i am modestly optimistic about the way this has turned out, and i think we could see a stronger european recovery as a result. sit rightwhere you now, and all of your radar at the net west group and all of your discussion with the experts that are out there, how in recession is the economy right now? i'm having trouble of getting a gauge of the depth or per

you told howard, howard stern, that trump's response is second-degree murder and that he is practicallyeople by speaking complete lies. i mean, he seems to be pivoting a little this week. he's encouraging people to wear masks and social distance, but do you -- what do you think? saying that in one day or two days, do you buy the change? >> you know, i'm really worried. i feel like he's coming back to do these daily press conferences as a political maneuver. i mean, if he really cared about americans, hearing the science and knowing what's important and knowing what to do, we should be having daily press conferences with dr. fauci. and doctors. not president trump. and so i'm just going to ask cnn, all news outlets to please if he starts making this a place to, you know, make this his campaign, just please ignore him and don't let him confuse america even more. you know, the mixed messages are killing people and it's -- it's beyond politics. it has -- i don't even care if you're -- at this point, i don't care if you're pro-life, pro-gun, all of that. this is different. this isn't politic

imagine howard dean saying that about any other religion. what would the response. do you think?en, you've got to give howard dean a pass. he is a jughead. you can't take him seriously. here's the issue. when you start to scapegoat christians and you say it's because of them that these things are happening, unfortunately you fall into the trap of being like the emperor nero when rome burned and of course he could have done something about it and he didn't. he blamed the christians. it's very convenient. it's happening now. i think a lot of the nastiness that is being directed at these statues, they really has to do with something deeper, tucker. i hate to say it but there is something very dark. you saw this in the french revolution. there was a hatred at the bottom of it of god, of any kind of authority. and these people are drunk with the idea that they can, you know, somehow be an authority themselves, that they can seize power. if you really want to cut to the chase, you forget about statues of generals and things. you go right for god. you go right for the virgin mary. my go

joining me is atlanta district attorney paul howard. thank you for being on tonight, d.a. howard. i wanted you on because i watched when you announced the charges and you very meticulously went through a demonstration on how you were able to come to your conclusion, even though it was quicker than what happened with george floyd in minneapolis and we've seen no charges, as i just challenged the mayor on the case of breonna taylor. but you took pains with graphics and all to explain how i came to a conclusion. and my people that i trust and relate to in atlanta tell me they're targeting your reelection because you followed the evidence. explain to me what's going on in atlanta. are we now in a country where if a prosecutor says there's reason to make an indictment, a grand jury comes forward, that now they become the political target of fund-raising and all to try and unseat them from protecting the law? >> well, thank you for having me on, reverend al, because that is exactly what is happening in our jurisdiction. i am now fighting two folds. one is the republican party. the repub

we have former commissioner howard h ward safir. your reaction to all of this?> this is outrageous. i'm glad to see that final i people are beginning to voice their opinion of this total nonsense. what is happening in new york and chicago and los angeles is a disgrace. what we're doing, we're seeding cities and ceding areas of cities to the loudest voice, to antifa, to black lives matter. people only interested in violence and vandalism and look what happened in seattle, how that worked out. four people killed. it is outrageous. elizabeth: yeah. overall six people shot in that "chop" zone. they want to turn downtown areas into similar chop zones in cities across the country here in new york. people believe in peaceful protests for justice. two cops, two police officers ambushed, shot dead in texas. 17 people shot over 24 hours in new york city. more than the same entire week a year ago. busway drivers, firemen, fdny, they are getting hit trying to do their jobs. higher crime rates in poorest cities in new york. one-year-old was shot and killed in brooklyn. new y

to howard's income america is a wicked place that needs to come down. this book has been standard reading and universities for decades. now we have his successor, "the new york times" 1619 projects. this is another revisionist american story of history, reportedly, that claims the country began when slavery came to our shores. forget those evil founding fathers who envisioned the republic and sacrificed to create it. those slaves are the true founders in the 1619 perception peered the founding fathers are to be despised. 1619 is now part of the curriculum in chicago, washington, d.c., and buffalo schools with more coming online every day. these are the radical ideas and warped histories that are slipped into the hearts of the young. it explains the random chaos, the destruction we've been witnessing in our streets. if you believe america is an evil place founded on sin, it's got to end. now everything is on the chopping block, even mount rushmore. >> we have to return the land, the stolen land, back to the indigenous people. mount rushmore is really a n

and howard's tweet says just had a long talk with roger stone. he says he doesn't want a pardon, which implies guilt or commutation and says he thinks trump will give it to him. and then this part is in quotation marks from roger stone directly to howard fineman. he knows i was under enormous pressure to turn on him. it would have eased my situation considerably, but i didn't. now, the only way roger stone could have turned on donald trump and eased his situation considerably would be by giving prosecutors criminal information about donald trump. there is nothing else that that can be referring to. and, so, there you have on the day that he gets this commutation from the president roger stone saying to a reporter that he had, in effect, saying to him that he had criminal information on donald trump and he refused to give it to prosecutors, and therefore he deserves the commutation. this takes this case into a place where we have never been before. >> no. and this is -- this is like the case study, like the third grade case study for like how publ
