♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show you're watching affects business network we begin when you're congresswomen nicole malliotakis and jim trusty let's turn to the legal part, jim, first to you we have for new york district attorneys without probing the sexual harassment findings by the new york ag, do you expect charges against cuomo and his team. >> there hard to know but it's certainly a possibility and it's because two competing principles, the first is criminal cases are never the same as they appear on paper we don't see these prosecution memos or reports and they can be distorted in terms of how strong a case would hang together but at the same time in this report there is ample cooperation,, retaliatory conduct, independent witnesses that saw victims that had been completely shaken up by the creepy nature and behavior of this man, i do think there's a possibility of charging some
10:04 pm
fairly low-grade but consequential charges such as forcible touching based on the account and collaboration. elizabeth: we hear you the criminal cases have a high bar have to be beyond a reasonable doubt but there's a lot of evidence it's a retaliation against the accusers, that seems to have legs, your take on that the state attorney general office is finding cuomo and his team actively retaliated against the accusers, what do you say? >> the governor's well-known for being a bully, a matter of a fact and assembly member had been bullied by cuomo for just standing up for his uncle who had passed away in one of the nursing homes due to the mismanagement of the governor this is something well-known throughout albany which i serve there is a state legislature and i tell you it's a governor, it's his team and i will say this that is probably why there are votes to impeach him right now, he doesn't have many allies not
10:05 pm
even with his own party people have had enough of him in the judiciary committee will meet on monday to discuss where we go from here in terms of the investigation, i think it's very possible that he will be impeached if he does not resign. elizabeth: we hear you the impeachment appears to be on a fast track, let's talk about lawsuits, the congress woman is making a point the retaliation angled here, the legal experts are also pointing out that these victims consume andrew cuomo in the state of new york for damages, his senior staff was aiding and abetting him enabling his toxic bully behavior, covering it up could this team be in jeopardy along with cuomo in terms of lawsuits? >> they could have title vii issues, civil towards a could be pursued in terms of battery, the report laid out a culture within the executive mansion that was
10:06 pm
extremely enabling, there is times or they dismiss it as being fear driven, people were so afraid of his mercurial conduct they didn't want to find themselves on the wrong in of a cuomo temper tincher. a lot of enabling and conspiring to retaliate that is the type of stuff that extends the liability to his aiders and abettors pretty cleanly. elizabeth: congresswoman in terms of your contacts in new york state and also in d.c., how does cuomo politically survive this, the allegations of one of the accusers, former aide to cuomo that he groped her under the blouse it was albany's police department earlier thisok year and the police spokesperson at that time said this may have risen to the level of a crime. how can he hang on here? >> i don't think he does i was
10:07 pm
on your show a couple of months ago saying he should've resigned over the nursing home scandal, now you have everything all member of congress representing new york state plus the president of united states and a little while ago is state democratic chairman saying he should resign you have 82 members of the state assembly which will vote to impeach and you only need 76 votes, b the majority i do believe the governor survives this i said all along he was going to go whether it be by resignation, criminal conviction, impeachment or at the ballot box next year but i think his days are certainly numbered and i would give it a couple of days until he decided to cannot survive in impeachment trial. elizabeth: the other thing we have to talk about was how msnbc and cnn and the other networks gave him a pass treated him as the love god, in hollywood he got in any there's a lot of adulation there, now we have the congresswoman pointing out the
10:08 pm
espresident, nancy pelosi, the entire congressional and senate delegation the governors of new jersey, pennsylvania, connecticut and rhode island calling for him to resign, the editorial from washington post say he should resign, his lieutenant governor say the accusations are repulsive and unlawful, talk to me about what the media's role in pay-tv different picture of andrew cuomo. >> a lot of these people came lately in terms of the condemnation of this governor, you have a lot of enabling we seen that pattern in the mainstream media anyone who says the right thing this is donald trump's expense becomes a darling brothers michael avenatti or this governor who iv hailed as a poster child by joe biden for handling the pandemic. it takes a lot for these folks to turn on them as not insignificant but i don't think we should draw our moral cues
10:09 pm
from the media or politicians who only lately turned on him for all of the misconduct, don't expect a lot of professionalism from his brother when it comes to professionalism he was basically treated like he was used as an attack dog whenever brett kavanaugh pretty quickly, the ag report city to complete the allegations about the governor was handled by people around him who protected him so the victims with the accusations is still bleak for them, anyen unwelcome sexualized attention from governor cuomo was viewed as a better alternative to getting verbally abused or the toxic experience in the executive chamber, that's fromm the ag report, should it come as a surprise when the ag issued his report on the nursing home scandal, we saw how his own chief of staff covered up information, she even admitted that she covered up information because she was afraid of the department of justice why so many colleagues of mine are disappointed that the d.o.j. is not pursuing it. otgovernor cuomo has different
10:10 pm
standards he went after three summary members of his own party when they were accused of sexual harassment from 2013 on and they didn't even have it investigation or due process,ou the governor now when you have this five-month investigation, 7400 communications including text messages and e-mails, 150 people including those close to the governor and surgeon is a administration, those who served the state troopers to protect him who collaborated these stories fromes these victims and he does not want to resign he thinks he is above d the law, he signed into law the sexual harassment law that he violated. elizabeth: to your point and aide to governor cuomo stephanie benton according to the state ag forge the governor's signature on a state document testing that he had completed a mandatory sexual harassment training in 2019 when he did not.
10:11 pm
the ear what you're saying republicans out of new york saying to the doj why did you drop coverup of investigation into nursing home deaths? congresswoman i want to be action to this cnn's role in msnbc's role, their ongoing role in basically giving cuomo a pass all through last year, you can imagine the victims, their torment at home, day in and day out the networks propped up governor cuomo as a love governor that he single and ready to mingle, never once did they give credence to his accusers last year to their pain some that did a lot of networks didn't these networks many are saying these women, he is a huge apology, let's watch this. >> new york's andrew cuomo has become an outspoken voice in athis crisis with his blunt in

journey. elizabeth: jim trusty, your final word. >> real quick it seems like we might've moved towards a justice when it comes to his misconduct and his obstruction in his attacks on these victims himself it's incomplete if the nursing home factor in the dishonesty i with d.o.j. and responding to information request, if that is not factored and it's going to be at incomplete story when it comes to cuomo's accountability. elizabeth: nicole malliotakis and jim trusty, thank you for joining us it's good to see you. up next kristin tate and robert or on the skating ag report raises questions about cnn anchoror chris cuomo his role in advising his governor brother on the sexual harassment allegations, the state investigators want to know why chris cuomo got confidential information about state workers and operation you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business, that's up next.

10:18 pm
against his accusers the new york attorney general is questioning why did the cnn anchor who did not work for the state, why did that person get confidential state information about state workers and state operations that impacted state business? so what is your take ont? that? >> is a great question to ask and it only confirms when a lot of folks across his country specifically, republicans andub conservatives when they talk about the media biased, look no further and always remember this right here, chris cuomo should never, ever interview his brother ever if you want to call that an interview. but secondly, the idea that he was advising him and has access to personal information on these women, it's disgusting, the children this is in journalism this is a family both of these
10:19 pm
obviously brothers came up with a father who was the governor of new york at one time but it is an undeniable relationship between two brothers, it was not journalism cnn should be ashamed of themselves and chris cuomo could not be employed by cnn any longer. elizabeth: is he going to get impeached. >> the only thing that is saving him as his rags ignorant .elizabeth: look at this e-mail in february to his brother the governor's team of advisors at the draft of a statement the governor could use responding to the charges the language in each are identical they merely each other this is strange behavior. >> it's an absolute shame cnn should be ashamed and all
10:20 pm
throughout 2020 cnn aired regular primetime band between thegh cuomo brothers, one of the segments was particularly cringe where they come i think you played earlier in the show where chris cuomo held up a c nasal sb i think it was an attempt at comedy and another segment he told his brother he's a bestuoan politician in the country, by making light of this terrible situation, cnn really destroyed whatever credibility they had left and they created a conflict of interest that made it impossible for the network to accurately cover andrew cuomo and this year all of a sudden when the sexual misconduct allegations came forward and were made public, chris cuomo said all of a sudden he can't cover his brother. he never should've been covering his brother, the good or the bad weather network didn't decide to stop the coverage until all of the news about andrew cuomo became bad it's shameful, unethical and at the part of wife cnn ratings, people are
10:21 pm
tuning out. elizabeth: to her point, chris cuomo testified by thenv state g in his role in advising the government and how to respond what she saying the cnn anchor said on march he cannot cover what was going on with his brother but behind-the-scenes he is advising his brother secretly, he's helping orchestrate the response and governor cuomo attacks his accusers, taxi investigators tries to discredit and delegitimize them, this is denny behavior that were not sure that the general public understands the details and nuances when you see what happened, how shocking is it to you that this was allowed to go on. >> it's not surprising to me it still shocking that it would happen and to your point about
10:22 pm
the governor strategy, it was in part informed by his brother who told his brother how to handle the media, how to gond about ths and to try to discredit these women and his brother knew about it and knew about the strategy and was okay with it this is someone who is a major evening anchor with the news outlet. elizabeth: chris cuomo advises that brother and goes on to attack the governor the governor start gas lighting in attacking the accusers, this legal experts are saying this could be to avoid criminal charges because it's about reasonable doubt so there playing reasonable doubtge early on as cnn be in the anchor and the governor doing this by attacking the women even attacking the investigators they talked about including dumping opposition research to go after
10:23 pm
kim, and the reasonable doubt of eyes of accusers of criminal charges, not same is going to get to that but this was a game plan and he could've been coming on the road, your take. >> it's absolutely disgusting, i feel heartbroken for the 11 women we shouldn't forget about that or some t scandalous is not just limited to the 11 accusers got, we watched the media and tell us andrew cuomo was a gold standard to some 15000 elderly new yorkers died of covid because of or partly because of cuomo's nursing home orders, he went on to lie about hisea nursg home order in the death toll for a year straight while he wrote a book about what a good governor he wasn't it was the media imglowing coverage that allowed him to be so reckless with human

10:29 pm
down i'm sure he can have a bash on his 61st birthday but it's the right decision when we should support. elizabeth: now we have the pentagon going to make vaccinations mandatory for the military, we heard the story was coming out, the variance aree contagious and undercutting herd immunity, here's the debate it's been raised in the media and the new york times, should the unvaccinated pay higher health insurance cost, should the vaccinated have to cover their cost, what do you say? >> i love to talk about the military but to deal with this specifically, i am really shocked that that would be the decision of the secretary of defense, we've had a long-standing policy and action, unless a vaccine were fully approved, it should not be mandatory, i think we should do
10:30 pm
everything we should do to help answer questions of our troops, of our men and women in uniform but we owe them not to coerce them or force them and violate this precedent. i think it's a terrible step in the secretary of defense should tell president biden no and every effort should be made to help talk toor our troops and ge them the information they put their lives on the line the least we can do is give them the right to decision-making on an authorized vaccine. once it's approved it's a different story and we would go on with normal policy. elizabeth: we hear what you're saying this is emergency use, it's not lawful it's not in the law that you can mandate vaccines, but when they are finally fda approved, should those who are unvaccinated pay higher insurance cost, we asked that because the point is being made that smokers have to pay high insurance, people have reckless driving have to pay higher insurance, what do you say what do you think?
10:31 pm
>> i think there's a couple of considerations, it should be based on fact and risk a different person just got finished surviving and doing well, and you can with delta, there at least as protective as a person i got a vaccine nine months ago, this should be based on fact and risk and not i just coercion, number two a slippery slope, number one is going to be inherently discriminatory because you haven't disparate impact on african-americans who don't take the vaccine, do you charge elderly more because if you're over 65 vaccinated or noe you wind up in the hospital, you charge people from different geographies or socioeconomic groups, this is a very slippery would advise extreme caution, it has to be based on risk and just vaccine alone is not a risk stratification and there's a lot of unintended consequences and i would be very concerned. elizabeth: we hear you those are great points, your thoughts on
10:32 pm
ron desantis saying the white house, administration, your inundating us with covid cases coming from illegal border crossers, the governor is saying until you secure the border, stop that mr. president we don't want to hear anything from you about covid, what is your take on what's going on. >> americans, i'm totally perplexed how you can stop visitors for canada or europe who are vaccinated but allow hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated and highly contagious individuals across the southern border, you just cannot make this make sense, it's imperative that number one we either control the border to limit the amount of cases that are coming in or at the very least if a person comes in and needs to get vaccinated at the spot, this is a very important issue why not customer border protection or any of the people that biden has put a needle in
10:33 pm
people's arms that's the best way into weeks will go there be immune and not spread atop the country there's a lot of questions to be asked, none are being answered and you cannot square this circle and he can't come from canada with a vaccine or europe but you can come across the southern border and highly infectious throughout the country, this needs to be fixed. elizabeth: doctor brett girard, thanks for joining us, good to have you on. you are watching the fox business network, were coming out of the bottom of the hour, congresswoman mariannette miller meeks, social media calls offerh censorship this time senator rand paul it allows misinformation and vaccines to spread obama's former dhs secretary's warning about so is doctor fat to keep you here on "the evening edit". >> if we have good information will make good decisions trust americans up the mic good decisions and quit mandating were sick and tired of being

stuart: welcome back. senator rand paul released elizabeth: welcome back senator rand paul released a new video slamming youtube for centering his discussion about how cloth masks don't work against covid-19, and 95 are the ones that really work watch senator paul. >> censorship by youtube is very dangerous as it stifles debate and promotes groupthink where the truth is defined by people with a political agenda. >> back with us not a member of the subcommittee mariannette miller meeks, it's great to have you back on, why would youtube center this? >> i don't think youtube should center it and i disagree with president biden's comments that are social media outlets should be looking to center and d platform what they consider to be disinformation, we don't want
10:39 pm
information to go underground we wanted to be out in the open and discussed and aware of what's being said you cannot counterrm disinformation if you force to underground in addition to whicp science is a debate, to discussion in a dialogue and a back-and-forth and that's how you prove scientific theory if you conducted an experiment and then you repeat that experiment, when the cdc came out with the most recent guidance in the house and reimpose mask mandates they actually said to have an in or k and 95 mask that is the mask that was recommended, not a cloth mask. i think doctor paul's discussion is perfectly appropriate and we should be having that discussion and that dialogue in that debate.
10:40 pm
elizabeth: all the senator was doing say most of the masks we get over the counter don't work, they don't prevent infection, n95 masks work, what is your take on youtube with australia with their coverage of the pandemic. >> again i think it'sga inappropriate does not allow for us to be able to know what information and have a discussion in the dialogue it is very anti-science if you will because science is this suppression of ideas is how we build upon knowledge, awareness of knowledge and it's always in interchange, dialogue and for instance i remember when i was in nursing and medicine that it was type a personalities and due to stress but it happened to be individuals in australia the pointed out it could be a bacteria, it took them 20 years to convince individuals in the scientific and medical community that that was true now our treatment is drastically different. if we suppress information we

10:42 pm
suppress this information on the internet, if the information is on the internet and visible for everyone to seeun that we can counter that information, we know it's been said i will have people, all doctors have been in the position patients will bring and dreams of information orr studies offer the internet for them to discuss with the doctor if we i don't know what's being said we don't know how to counter the information, i think it's important it's there and on the open and were aware of it we can discuss with individuals and hpatients. elizabeth: mariannette miller meeks, thinking for joining us it's great to have you on next up did you know this is going on democrats the infrastructure bill want to track you in tax you based on the mile that you drive to pay for massive spending economists warned this will slam the middle class, the poor in the trucking industry

reaction, the washington post is reporting the biden administration is considering giving the johnson & & johnson vaccine to border crossers, we have the delta. another variance ripping through florida and texas, what do you think of the story. >> it's always good to speak with you, this administration fails to look unintended consequences when they make decisions, if they give the vaccine to illegal border crossers they are going to create another magnet that's going to invite people to cross our borders illegally, those people in these countries predominately were these people are coming from they don't have access to the vaccine and forgiving vaccine to the people we will create another vacuum asking people to cross our borders illegally, we currently have in the month of july nearly
10:56 pm
200,000 if not a l little bit me than 200,000 illegal border crossers, we can't deal with more people crossing the border illegally. elizabeth: hundreds of thousands of got a ways according to estimates, we have the white house, the administration, the media slamming texas importer when it's not taken into account with terms of people coming in across the border infected with covid-19, the new york times was reporting earlier this year the public health officials and shelter operators are warning that the white house, the administration was not tracking people crossing the border with covid-19 they were saying this will ignite and trigger bigger. dominic let's listen to run desantis on this, watch. >> why don't you do your job, why don't you get the border secure and until you do that i don't want to hear blip about covid from you. elizabeth: what do you say, he's

10:59 pm
everything that we do as united states citizens, the white house is not doing the same thing for the illegal border crossers which again there protecting people that aren't citizens of the united states but they're not protecting their own citizens, that is by government. elizabeth: let's stay on this were seeing the administration officials slamming americans saying we may require you to have a vaccine mandate, vaccine passports, will put restrictions on you but then we see was going on at the border we want to help everybody but this is chaos what's going on down there and t then you have a federal judgeot blocking texas governor greg abbott, executive order do not transport migrants via buses and airplanes he's trying to deal with it but we have a judge
