it was bs, it was total junk, howard. you increasing run one of the most important shows on television engaging in media criticism because the media at large has turned from attempting, i would suggest attempting to be objective truth tellers to outright propaganda. you heard jen psaki it was low to moderate confidence of intelligence, that means detainee heard a story second or third hand related to someone else. he passed it on and gossip and nonsense but reported breathless his with finger pointing as you saw in your clips there with full condemnation of president donald trump and it was all track and the crab was designed that donald trump was not reelected as president of the united states. it was mission accomplished for the propaganda. howie: mo, low to moderate, it doesn't mean it was not proven. what were the times now describing it in the own pages as a reported arrangement. do you think looking back, the story was solid enough to go with another news organization said they confirmed it ten months ago? mo: well,

brian sicknick, howard, jeffrey smith, also christopher eny, quinton holtz. jacob chestnut and john from year ago. as we promise to remember, we carry them in our hearts forever. twice in two months have many of us been brought together here in the capitol rotunda united in grief to mourn the life and loss of heroes in uniform. just months after the january 6th assault on our democracy, the men and women of the capitol police were again called to duty on april 2, officer evans answered that call in giving his life to protect the capitol and our country. he became a martyr for our democracy. officer evans, a catholic, was killed on good friday, the saddest day of the year for many people of faith. this sacrifice recalls scripture greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. officer billy evans was a hero whose life was distinguished by dedication to our country including 18 years on the capitol police force. he represented the best of public service, selflessness, sacrifice and sheer courage in the face of the threat to our nat

i was listening to howard stern this morning, he was talking about how he goes outside with his wife beth and they go on walks and he wears a mask and his wife beth doesn't. he had on dr. -- chief medical correspondent for cbs news. doctor, who is right in the doctor says there is two answers there is the personal answer, and then there is the public policy health answer. personal answer, sure, you don't have to wear a mask when you are vaccinated and go outside. but the answer from a public policy health perspective is we want to continue to wear masks, the message is when you wear outside you wear a mask, and that's the problem. there is a difference between telling the truth and messaging. and the american people don't want messaging anymore. we can go online and we can see the statistics. we see the numbers. we see the trends. we have all the studies. it's not like 20 years ago whether you have to message us to death about a war or, you know, a pandemic or anything like that. we get it like fauci is on there the other day, yesterday, saying there is 60,000 new infections a day. i

howard kurtz joins me now. good to have you with us. first of all to twitter and how they handled this situation. they have a hand in curating and having an impact on the columns. what happened here? >> what happened here is twitter fell down on the job. it should have never taken 11 hours to reduce these tweets and i doubt it would have if they were made against an african american democrat. these taunts were blatantly a racist and appalling behavior by the liberals that posted him. and scott says he's been called uncle tom before. you want to criticize his speech last night? he's fair game. that's fine, this kind of stuff is beyond the pale. >> what did you make of joy reid? she said he suggested there's no racism in america. that's not what he said. senator tim scott has never said that he said we're not a racist nation which as i said, i never imagined we would love in the united states of america and have that be a controversial thing for someone to say in a republican rebuttal at a state of the union address. she went on to say th

. >> brit: at best i think it's a pretty sloppy piece of work as howard just pointed out. it didn't really -- it didn't really include the gist, the full measure and not every word but the full measure of governor detan tis explanation of how it happened. if it had, viewers of "60 minutes" would know it wasn't just publix that was involved that cvs and walgreen's had been involved earlier and that walmart was also involved in distributing vaccine that the state had a number of other facilities set up to cover areas that were not necessarily served by pub blix. pub blix by the way has more than 800 stores in florida so it would be kind of a natural center as people get shots there, they have pharmacies and so on. a natural place to distribute vaccine. in fact, i suspect if pub blix had not been used a lot of people would wonder why. this was not "60 minutes'" finest hour of journalism. >> bret: you know, and the political star, obviously for ron desantis is rising because of how he has handled covid. he is loathed on the left. but, is that, do you think, the reason "60 minu

i would like to start where howard left off, essentially him saying that it's fair to criticize senator scott on the substance, the content of his speech. let's start there. senator scott saying he's essentially accusing liberals of using race as a political weapon. paris, do you think that's a fair statement? >> it's a fair statement and an accurate statement because black conservatives deal with this every single day. i have been on the receiving end of this type of hatred and bigotry from the left every single time i turn on my twitter account. every time i go on social media. i got an email, a couple emails today there were some of the most disgusting things coming from progressive liberals out there saying this because i have meant not fit in the democrat box of how they think i should be or how they think i should think because i'm an independent freethinking black men in america who believes in conservative principles to help my community. it's appalling and disgusting and it should be denounced but it's not. >> kristin: richard, do you think liberals are using race as a politica

brian: so commissioner howard zucker i know you work for the governor but what do you stand for. he was basically told keep your mouth shut. he is the new york state health official. they said don't release this death toll and he didn't. and when he is asked about it, he skirts it. here is what cuomo's attorney says, the whole brouhaha here is overblown to the point where there are cynical suggestions for the plain and simple truth that the chamber only wanted to release accurate information they believed was totally unassailable. that doesn't pass the laugh or smell test. janice: to the deaths of over 15,000 elderly is a brouhaha? that's what the lawyer has to say? i think our families deserve justice and i hope it happens soon. our lawmakers in albany need to do something. this white wash of an impeachment is ridiculous. go in there today and get it done. there are at least four investigations into this governor. how much more do you need to get him out? brian: janice, on a side note, he was asked about his accusers this week. he basically says they are venal, they are publicit

trump was looked at from the outside as this three time married, howard stern regular and christian voters were always looked at as people who voted for people who were just like them. that shared their values. and with trump they received -- they took a bet on the promise that he would live up to his appointment of conservative supreme court justices but also that he would be a defender of religious liberty. he did that and more. and so he earned their trust. he may have not -- they may have not always liked his comportment but they liked that he went to the mattresses for them, right, that he stood up for their values and i think the genie is out of the bottle. they're not going to look for candidates that are just like them. they felt they've been disappointed by candidates after decades of sort of this cultural revolution going against them and against their values and these candidates often not having the backbone or the wherewithal or the skills to stand up for their values and going forward that is very important to them as they vote in local elections, mid-terms and for president.
