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
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
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.
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
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
