Overview

• Jake Tapper was caught on a hot mic saying “give me my show back” after seconds of silence during a live transition from Anderson Cooper.
• Anderson Cooper smiled on air and replied “Your show’s back,” as the broadcast briefly cut away from Tapper in Anchorage.
• Tapper apologized for what he called “real comms problems” after technical glitches repeatedly disrupted his feed.
• Observers linked Tapper’s remark to CNN’s programming shake-up earlier this year, though the network has not confirmed that context.
• In their summit remarks, Trump said no final agreement had been reached on a key issue but remained optimistic and Putin claimed they had hammered out an understanding on Ukraine and urged Europe not to torpedo progress.
