markle's charge of race system. that allegation blowing up in their faces? thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. we begin tonight with the rising calls for new york governor cuomo to resign or be impeached after the sixth accuser comes forward, potential sexual assault allegation referred to the albany police by a state attorney for the governor in accordance with new york state law, warning the allegations you are about to hear are disturbing. they may not be suitable for children. the "times-union" newspaper in albany reporting that an unnamed female staff member, part of the governor's executive chamber specifically alleging governor cuomo, quote, aggressively groped her late last year at the governor's executive mansion in albany, new york. cuomo reportedly asked her to help fix his phone. they were alone in cuomo's
3:04 pm
private residence on the second floor. he closed the door. allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fon dell her. the unnamed state worker reportedly told cuomo to stop. democrats control both houses of the state legislature so they determine cuomo's destiny. joining me new york state assembly, democrat angelo santa barbara. this is a new next level threat to cuomo's political future, a criminal complaint potentially, a sexual assault charge potentially. what is the your take on the story when you heard it? >> it is deeply disturbing allegation. it is, it's putting our state capital in further chaos you know, you know, really we should have, we should have taken action after the first allegation but now we're at six allegations. now these are the even more serious allegations of a crime. albany police department is
3:05 pm
involved. things are getting worse each passing day. i will say what i said from the beginning the governor should resign for the good of the state. he should realize what he is putting new york state through right now by staying in office and should take it upon himself to resign. there is, almost 131 lawmakers out of the 213 that think he should leave office. there is growing calls for his resignation. these allegations are being taken very seriously. leaders in both houses are calling on him to resign but i do not believe this governor will resign without impeachment on the table. elizabeth: there are three scandals, sexual harrassment allegations, now, sexual assault, coverup of covid-19 nursing home deaths, putting covid patients back into homes for the disabled. hundreds died allegedly connected to cuomo's order yet to be rescinded. get back to what is happening right now. half a dozen times cuomo called for other politicians to resign over sexual harrassment.
3:06 pm
he has been bullying lawmakers, calling them on the phone to yell at them, calling on them to stop asking him to resign and alleged smear campaign against another aexcuseer, lindsey boylan. her personnel records were leaked to the media. is this connected to cuomo? >> you know, these are all, based on what we have right now, the, we can move forward with, these are all impeachable offenses. i think that is what we need to be talking about right now. this is a pattern. now he is being exposed for what he is, leaking sensitive documents that should never be released. he has, withheld nursing home data. he pushed department of health officials to alter data. he pushed his staff to hide information. there are a number of charges here that we already know about, that we can go forward with, but the most important thing is that the fact is this, that there is
3:07 pm
an fbi investigation, doj and the ag investigation going on. he has, he has a pattern of abusing his power, interfearing, controlling, manipulating. we cannot allow him to stay in office. no doubt he will continue to do that. these investigations need to move forward but with him in office, no doubt they will be interference. we have a state budget that is due. you know, longer he stays in office, the more he will use state and federal dollars to pressure or manipulate even further. i think at this point he cannot be part of that process. he should be removed, so this state can move forward with the important work that we have to do. these investigations can continue without interference. elizabeth: yeah. sew you're saying he uses the budget also to bully as well, that is what you're alleging. final word, is the impeachment push a serious one? >> it is serious. i think it is the way to move forward, the way to, he is not going to take this legislature
3:08 pm
seriously. he has not in the past. he does not want to be a coequal branch government. i think going forward there is only one way forward. that is introduce the articles of impeachment. elizabeth: new york state assemblyman, angelo santabarbara. thanks for joining us. let's get to ford o'connell, gop strategist and attorney. kamala harris running away, democrats literally running away from questions on governor cuomo. kristin gillibrand say so far, sexist, to ask a female lawmaker on this, when she went full on against brett kavanaugh. your thoughts. >> obviously they're ducking and dodging it. they don't want to address it because it is politically dangerous. if democrats defend cuomo at the federal level they will look like me too hypocrites basically pilfering supreme court justice brett kavanaugh on sexual harrassment allegations. this is a lose-lose. if they say you should throw
3:09 pm
cuomo under the bus, kamala harris loses a huge political ally in terms of wanting to be president in 2024. elizabeth: but this is, this is a credibility crisis now for the democrats for them to be behaving like this. watch kamala harris here. watch this. >> to do what this will do in terms of intergenerational impact, lifting half america's children out of poverty, it's a big deal. so thank you. >> any comment about governor cuomo? elizabeth: okay, walking away from questions about cuomo. didn't walk away when she went on to in prior years to attack brett kavanaugh, let's listen to this. watch. >> i believe her. she is putting herself out there knowing that they are going to try to excoriate her. xi is doing it i believe because she knows that this is an important matter. she has the courage, to come
3:10 pm
forward. she has nothing to gain. >> i believe you. i believe many americans across this country believe you. how do you reconcile your statement about a conspiracy against you with the treatment of someone who is before this body not very long ago? let's speak the truth, it was denial of justice for the women of this country and sexual assault survivors, men and women in this country. let's speak that truth. elizabeth: we're going to see speak the truth speech from kamala harris from governor cuomo, allegations there? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. because this was, the way eshoesed me too against brett kavanaugh as a political tool to hammer republicans. right now andrew cuomo is a democrat. if she opens up the can of worms it could come back on joe biden given allegations by tara reid and lucy flores. she will want it to go away,
3:11 pm
duck it as long as possible. frankly republicans and media need to hold her feet to the fire. she is not being honest. she is doing what is best for kamala harris. elizabeth: again it's a credibility crisis as well. being a supporter of the me tee movement but being tight-lipped when, listen we were about due process. everybody deserves due process but the due process was abused for brett kavanaugh. the other thing to is, cuomo coverup, he wrote a book during the pandemic. he had press conferences where we're going to show later in the show, how he manipulated those press conference, topspin what was going on behind the scenes. the question is, did he profit from the book? did he write the book to get a job in the biden administration while he is covering up in his own book nursing home deaths and what went on with putting covid patients back into group homes? so those are the two issues there. the big issues here. so many angles, ford.
3:12 pm
your reaction to that? >> cuomo's book was boo boosting cuomo. he want ad job in biden presidency. his new hampshireed policies in nursing homes got thousands killed. we can't let those people be forgetten. the democrats don't want to own up to this because the scandal is bigger than cuomo. new jersey, pens vang, michigan, adopterring same people, covid positive patients back into nursing homes when thousands died around the country. democrats definitely want this to go away. elizabeth: got it. ford o'connell, thanks for joining us appreciate it. coming up fox news contributor jason chaffetz, media critics, including abc news and "the washington post," president biden lack of accountability there, unchecked power. the first president in a century not to let reporters ask him questions at a press conference. not even nixon, reagan, trump,

not the prior 15 presidents is doing what biden is now doing. the story next. >> not only coming off of a president who was one of the most accessible presidents even though he often sparred with reporters, taking questions all the time, president donald trump and the press, now we have one the press wants to treat with kid gloves. he is still unable to go out there mainly because the staff won't let him. ♪. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) ♪ ♪ you the lincoln family of luxury suvs.

♪. elizabeth: welcome fox news contributor jason chaffetz to the show. jason, it is always great to have you on. okay critics say credibility crisis hitting the white house. the president just a few hours from now will make an address to the nation on covid but he is the first president in a century to have gone nearly two months without heading a press conference with reporters asking questions. the prior 15 presidents did not do that. abc news, "washington post," calling him out on it. what do you say? >> look like in the graphic, have to go back to president hoover. something is not and right, the day and age media is omnipresent, news is happening 24/7, to have a president of the united states, a new one, somebody, joe biden when he was a senator, he was never bashful
3:18 pm
getting in front of the microphone, even when he was vice president. there is something really wrong here and i think there are questions that need to be answered about that. combine that with the fact they haven't done anything with the state of the union to announce a specific date to address the nation. elizabeth: yeah. he said in january he would address congress next month but he didn't do it in february. let's snow you what "the washington post" and abc news is saying. that he has got to be held to a start of accountability. this is unchecked power. he signed a nearly two trillion covid relief bill. 91% of it had nothing to do with health care expenditures and the question is, is the white house blocking questions of biden, why? what are they worried about? the reporters can't ask biden directly about how he killed jobs by canceling the keystone pipeline, he put lives of people at risk with the wiping out trump's border policies and he accepts that china's brutality is a consequence of quote, different norms.
3:19 pm
so reporters can't ask about that now? >> they have just passed the but bill. the president passed the largest spending bill in the history of united states of america. compare that to donald trump, donald trump should have been winning awards for his openness, transparency and accessibility. vice president kamala harris. she is no better. she is not answering questions. when she is at events, reporters in close proximity she is ignoring them. makes you wonder that begs question are there puppeteers behind the scenes, don't want to allow the president and vice president to answer questions. they were supposed to be the return to normality. that was the excuse for joe biden this is not normal behavior this is not the way it is supposed to be in an open and transparent republic like the united states of america. elizabeth: yeah. let's watch the president ignore a question about when he will hold a press conference. watch this. >> mr. president, when are
3:20 pm
you -- what about surplus? when will you hold a press conference? elizabeth: so he is, the president is allowed to step forward and sign a bill that likely will have to raise taxes on lower and middle-class americans, he allowed to say, make misrepresentations, that, there were no vaccines available when he got vaccinated, so did the vice president in december. so did the health care workers. what exactly is going on with joe biden that they won't let him answer reporters questions? this is not what america is about. what is going on? >> it begs the question about his cognitive ability to think and speak on the fly. this is not who joe biden was even a few years ago, but it is week after week. even when he is reading a teleprompter, that you see these gaffs time and time again. not remember the name of the
3:21 pm
secretary of defense, to struggle to get out the words the pentagon, that happened a couple days ago. there has got to be a way for reporters, not just the chosen ones, but reporters of all sorts to the whole political spectrum to ask this man questions and allow him to answer them without being prompted by his staff. elizabeth: jason chaffetz, always great to have you on. come back soon, okay? we love your perspective. up next, former acting homeland security secretary chad wolf, more on the white house team denying, trying to deny what mexico an officials in central america say is plain as day, the border crisis. the worst is yet to come. tens of thousands already getting into the country. central american officials are warning bad actors from the mideast and asia are trying to cost. they warn that biden is creating a bonanza for criminal cartels.
3:22 pm
this is something biden warned about just seven years ago. the story next. >> the only one reason you hide facts because the truth is too ugly to let anybody see. the truth is ugly. open borders are bad for our country, bad for our law and order foundation. they're bad all around.

sir, great to have you on. okay, the border crisis is deepening. it is a humanitarian crisis. up to an estimated 39,000 illegals already got into the country? secretary of state antony blinken, jen psaki white house press secretary still saying it is not a crisis. what is going on there? >> yeah, it is absolutely a crisis and i think most average americans, the majority of americans see that now. mexico is calling it a crisis. "the washington post" is calling it a crisis. the folks that are not the department of homeland security and the white house. they need to be straight up with the american people, honest with the american people what is going on down there. i think at the end of the day, we have to ask ourselves is this what the biden administration was this their plan all along, attract individuals coming to the border, allowing them to the interior of the country, releasing them into the interior of the country, everything they have done since inauguration day is leading up to this and
3:27 pm
pointing in that direction. so i think that is a question that certainly needs to be asked. elizabeth: you know, texas is deploying troops to the southern border. is that where it is going to lead? mexico is saying, and is joining the border states saying, yes, this is a crisis. that the biden administration, quote, is enabling a boom time for drug and human traffickers who are targeting migrants trying to cross, trying to recruit them, physically, sexually assaulting illegal immigrants. what do you say? >> i think that is actually very accurate. the way the biden administration saying it is okay to make the dangerous journey up from central america, they are putting profits in the pockets of the cartels. they're making a very dangerous journey, very cruel and inhumane message they're sending. what they are doing at the end of the day, they are providing false hope, a false sense of the ability to stay here in the u.s. what we know is the majority of
3:28 pm
these folks are claiming asylum but they don't qualify for asylum. 90% do not qualify. so at the end of the day they have to be removed from the country, deported, returned to their home countries. that is a very difficult thing to do. i think the biden administration needs to be up front with the individuals, tell them as such, if you want to come here for economic reasons or want to come to rejoin your family you can certainly do that but there are legal pathways to do that. as far as texas is concerned i think it is great what they're doing. i think it is historic. i don't know when a state has not, or has deployed resources to their border without the federal government being involved. usually the federal government has to ask the state to get involved like this. so i think they're very concerned there in the state of texas. elizabeth: chad wolf, great to have you on. thanks for joining us. really appreciate it. let's bring on to the show texas republican congressman troy nehls.
3:29 pm
congressman, i want to show this again, even joe biden warned in 2014, by the way welcome to the show, joe biden warned in 2014 don't come here illegally. you will be physically, sexually assaulted, extorted, recruited, pulled into drug and human trafficking gangs, forced to do things like major crimes. why is he now silent on this? >> i don't think you can truly honestly believe anything that comes out of his mouth but as your previous guest, mr. wolf was right on target. this is not only a crisis according to "the washington post," this is a humanitarian crisis and what is interesting all of my, democrat colleagues up here, they all, they won't use the word, the term crisis and it's sad, it's a sad state of affairs down there. i believe that this president is, he is almost aiding and abetting human trafficking enterprise. he is encouraging individuals to travel through mexico, from
3:30 pm
south america, travel through mexico. and he is encouraging them to come on in, come on in to the united states. it's a big problem. it should be a concern for everyone of us in this great country. elizabeth: you know, they're doing sophies it cad attacks on the border, drug and human trafficking cartels. using whatsapp, facebook, even youtube to organize. setting up fake travel agencies. using sophisticated technology including drones to check the migrant flow. digging tunnels. mexico and central america repeatedly warn that this is a serious issue. i want to ask this, if you can't protect the border, what about other crises you can't protect? >> absolutely. it is amazing. because the human traffickers, the drug smugglers, they actually love this. they, they understand that our ports of entry, the number of immigrants and unaccompanied minors that are flooding our southern border it is taking an
3:31 pm
enormous toll on the border patrol. they're busy processing these individuals. it gives them an opportunity to go through our southern border and they're undetected. so these drug traffickers, human traffickers, they just love this. as a matter of fact they would like to see this continue for the days, weeks, months ahead, because actually the president, if you're watching, you are aiding and abetting this criminal activity and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. then what it is, i'm a former county sheriff. it is going to be local and county and state law enforcement to clean it up. we have to clean up the mess. you mentioned earlier that the governor, and he has, governor abbott sent the department of public safety down to the border to augment border patrol. they need assistance, the sad part the texas taxpayer is paying for that. i believe governor abbott ought to send a bill to nancy pelosi. she should fill out a check that
3:32 pm
says pay to the order of state of texas, $400 million. that is what it is costing. then in the memo sections because because congress, you nancy, failed to do your job to keep the american people safe. elizabeth: what are you hearing in washington why they're not stepping up? >> i just think this is -- i think joe biden, i don't know if he is actually making the decision on his own but i think it is just a way to pander to his base. he has been talking about trump and his wall and his immoral conduct for the past four years as it relates to immigration and i think he is just taking a position. it's the wrong position. it's a dangerous position. it's a reckless position, and the american people are going to pay for it. i hope more people that watch the different, watch this station and actually hear from the border patrol agents, the people that are working on the ground, listen to other members of congress that have actually been down to the border and
3:33 pm
share their stories, i think the american people are going to wake up. it may cause the democrats to reverse course. we certainly hope it does. we certainly hope it does. elizabeth: congressman thanks so much for joining us. really appreciate it. >> thank you, god bless. >> you've been watching the fox business network. we're coming into bottomed of the hour. just ahead west virginia governor jim justice back with us. democrat governors in five states now under fire. they put covid patients back into nursing homes. the michigan democrat governor faces even threats of criminal charges. also this new debate, how is it that any governor is allowed to enact executive orders affecting our senior citizens and our disabled when courts have ruled dozens of times that their orders are unconstitutional? that debate next. ♪.

3:39 pm
away from the people and everything. that is the last thing we've done here. there are big things that happened and everything. you have to own up to them, stand up, stay transparent and everything, keep the trust of the people. elizabeth: all right. so we've got probes ramping up of democrat governors michigan, new york, pennsylvania. prosecutor in michigan saying potential criminal charges against the governor. how is it that any governor is allowed to make executive orders that affect the health of seniors and disabled when courts found dozens of these orders unconstitutional? 170 orders were tossed out, including the nursing home order in michigan. how is it they are allowed to do a end-run around health laws? >> well, liz, to be perfectly honest, this is a little bit out of my wheelhouse, from the standpoint of executive orders, we made executive orders here as well but from the standpoint of those executive orders that
3:40 pm
absolutely pertain directly to the peoples health and everything, you know, exactly what has happened here, is no question that it is deeply concerning. i mean that is to say the very least. you know i keep going back to just one thing and that is just this, along the way, none of us had a playbook and this is tough stuff, really, really tough stuff. and we really got after it in west virginia doing the right things. elizabeth: yeah. >> first-in-the-nation, testing of nursing homes, all the vaccination stuff, getting it out way we did and everything but, right with that, we realized what the issue was. the issue was this disease attacks the every derly first and foremost and with that you had to do anything you could as a governor with all the great health team i have to protect the elderly. elizabeth: yeah. >> this is a catastrophe beyond belief, it is really sad. it is really sad.
3:41 pm
elizabeth: it is really sad. it's terrible, governor and the thing is, you know, we remember 9/11 in new york, people were told stay in your seats, don't leave, don't leave your office. people are saying what are we putting up with the pandemic with executive orders like this? so many more executive orders governors did people are questioning is that the right way to go. let's watch governor cuomo manipulate information to cover up what was going on behind the scenes at his press conferences for which people said were so transparent, he won an emmy for them. it is more insidious than we realized. watch this. >> we tried everything to keep it out of a nursing home. why did the state do that with covid patients in nursing home? it is because the state followed president trump's cdc guidance. no numbers were changed. whether a person died in the hospital or died in a nursing
3:42 pm
home, it's, the people died. people died. but who cares? 32, 28, died in a hospital, died in a nursing home, they died. elizabeth: who cares, governor, your final word? >> well, liz, that is awfully weak and we know that and, and you know, every day that i have a death in the state of west virginia, we read that person's gender, age, and the county that they died in and, i reflect on it as saying please don't let these people become a statistic or a number but, liz, it is, it does mean something. it means everything to these great people that their wisdom, we lost and all their loved ones and, i don't say anything. you know, i'm not a politician.
3:43 pm
i don't blow smoke at anybody. i'm sure we made a ton of mistakes here but we have been completely truthful and completely transparent all the time. i think that is all people can really ask for. elizabeth: yeah. >> and in this situation there were tons of things covered up and people do matter. and you know, wrong practices need to be exposed and so, so you know, i think there is a whole lot wrong with what was being said that i just heard. elizabeth: hey, governor, so great to have you on. we love having you on. we love your perspective. come back soon, governor, good to see you. >> liz, thank you so much for everything. thank you. elizabeth: sure. same here. coming up fox news contributor deneen borelli, prince william breaking the silence. royals now battling back against prince harry and meghan markle's charges of racism. that allegation looks like it is blowing up right now in their faces. the story next. ♪.
