GWN anchor demands his show back in brutal live | TV Shows

GWN anchor Jake Tapper had an awkward on-air second while masking the assembly between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as he demanded his show back.

Tapper was reporting live from Anchorage, Alaska, during the pivotal Friday, August 15 assembly between the 2 world leaders. The high-stakes assembly descended into chaos during the photograph call, with reporters hurling robust questions at the Russian President.

Tapper had been offering live coverage of the assembly and had taken a break for commercials.

Upon returning from the break, the published switched to Anderson Cooper in New York, who tried to hand the coverage back to Tapper. However, Tapper, unaware that he was back on air, was heard grumbling, “I’m fine, just give me my show back.”

From the studio, Cooper responded with a smile and a joke, saying, “Your show’s back!” Despite being rattled by the interruption, Tapper proceeded to interview California Senator Adam Schiff.

The interview took a additional nosedive when Schiff informed Tapper that he had “lost” him during their dialog. “We’re having real comms problems today, I’m sorry about that. If anybody can hear me, let’s throw it back to New York,” Tapper said before the published switched back to Cooper.

However, this wasn’t the only media blunder during the talks. Despite sustaining a calm demeanor during the photograph call between the 2 Presidents, Putin appeared to shout over reporters when they started asking him questions.

One reporter queried, “How can the US trust your word? Will you stop killing?”

Putin appeared to yell at the journalists before the digital camera feed was abruptly terminated. The confrontation occurred in a crowded media room with cameras capturing every second. Putin had already confronted hostile questioning from the press while on the tarmac as reporters demanded to know if he was “ready to stop killing civilians.”

Trump told media following the discussions that he and Putin had an “understanding” and that they discovered common ground on quite a few points but clashed on many others, including what he described as a major sticking level. The assembly failed to produce an accord relating to ending the continuing battle in Ukraine.

The particulars of the talks haven’t been made public, but Trump rated them “a 10.”

He also appeared to place the burden of securing a ceasefire deal on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was excluded from the Alaskan summit on Friday. “Now it’s really up to President Zelensky to get it done,” Trump said.
