have left this evening. please set your dvr and never miss an episode. we're always be independent. let in the your heart be troubled. laura ingraham up next. have a great weekend. *** . >> laura: this is the ingraham angle. now we're told that some of dr. seuss' books are racist. now they are claiming kids can be racist before they are even able to read. we'll bring you the shocking documents plus the completely bizarre interplay between nancy pelosi and joe biden on a recent zoom call. we have that and more on "friday's follies." we bring you the second mystery guest.

the big reveal later in the hour but first from the moment donald trump took office, you know, he was cast by the left as a dictator with sinister plans for the country. >> president trump's inaugural address, i thought, was negative, was dark, was dystopian. >> donald trump is authoritarian. >> the kind of corrupt dictator in the making. trump is. >> from beginning to end donald trump has been an anti-democratic president. >> laura: of course, all of that was just projection because now the democrats control both chambers of congress and the white house and we're seeing just how dark and dystopian their agenda really is. it's perhaps most evident in the lockdown of our washington's capitol. >> this will be the new real here for a little while. this is why the fence is still

up. that's why national guard is still here. >> it is appropriate that we keep that security in place. it's not going to be business as usual when it comes to security. >> we should have them here as long as they are needed. >> laura: it's never going to be safe enough because remember who they want to be protected from. you. you're certainly a bigger threat to them than, i don't know, the untold number of covid infected migrants pouring into the country. but you better not point that out or biden's media enforcers will lash out with a typical smear. >> this has a racist twist to it. blaming migrants from central america for bringing covid. haitians migrants and try to blame them for hiv. >> laura: again, it's not a covid. if it was, they would want our border closed down. because they need you silenced. ostracized, demoralized, as they

import new voters to offset and eventually replace all you old people, you traditionalists, all of you guys who know your history, they want you replaced and they want cheap labor and so far things are going according to plan. today we learned that the biden administration is evaluating a virginia military base as a possible site to house unaccompanied migrant children amid a sharp rise in the migrants arriving at the u.s.-mexico border. on tap for a record number. of course, we're never going to get reliable information from the border about the biden administration because they are more focused on turning our vast national security apparatus against you. >> we're watching the threat stream, the information on social media and other sources with respect to this particular day, march 4, but quite frankly, we're vigilant every day as we must be when the threat is as acute as it is in the domestic

violent extremism context. >> laura: wait a second. isn't it past march 4. i think the threat of march 4 is over. now in case you're wondering when this all goes away, the answer is simple. it will not. until republicans take back congress. and then take back the white house. until then your visits to the capitol, we call it the capitol hill green zone because it looks like baghdad now. it's going to be a lot like renowned journalist -- said saying security was tighter than i have ever seen before, tighter than after 9/11 and tighter during presidential inaugurations. how long will the new heightened security posture would be the norm? it will be like 9/11, he remarked. we'll get used to it. oh, no. no, no, no. let's be candid. all of the security, all of the fences, all the razor wire, fact that biden does not hold press conferences, it's all the result of the fact that we have a press

corps that's no longer interested in asking real questions. holding democrats accountable. look, when we were kids, in the years after watergate the press would have gone nuts. if the feds just started closing down entire parts of washington, citing these nonspecific threats but now they just nod and say, essentially, isn't this wonderful? in the long run, all these lockdowns, all the razor wire, all the troops in d.c., will simply make the federal government more out of touch and, in turn, it will encourage more protests, and, you bet, more support for the america first agenda. now, i don't think it's going to hurt us at all, and it's going to help convince voters that they actually cannot trust the elites that are currently in power, because they don't want to hear from you. they certainly don't want to see you in washington but all of this is still bad policy. it's absurd. and it's certainly ridiculous

that we're among the few actually complaining about it. joining me now, former speaker of the house and fox news contributor, newt gingrich. six weeks into biden's first term, and the reaction to everything that i think that's been happening since he was inaugurated is to control the population, leave the border open, and then condemn the critics. where does this end? newt: i think it ends with a huge repudiation. you've got to go back home as a democrat and defend censoring dr. seuss while protecting a fence around your own capitol, you've got a bigger and bigger burden to carry, and nancy pelosi has been piling devastateingly bad votes on her members. it's almost like they have concluded they are going to lose control so they have got to get it all done in the first two years because they will lose the

house by a big margin in 2010. so i think, i mean, 2022, which they did lose in 2010. i think the real challenge here, and you're picking up on some of the weirdest stories that are out there that aren't political, we have, you know, so-called education people saying, oh, three months, the baby is already racist. you've an entire class of people who by any reasonable standard are crazy. and if you look at what the national education association, the largest teacher's union recommends to replace dr. seuss, you know, the prince who liked to cross dress at night, that's literally win of the stories, and you have to think, how does this fit with the average american vision? dr. seuss last year sold six million copies. last year alone, has sold, i

think, 600 million worldwide. >> laura: newt, i have to ask you a question, let's say there was a christian family, a bunch of christian families in the midwest, maybe outside of kansas city and they don't like a book that's being taught in their elementary school because they think it pushes sexual agenda on the kids. and they complain saying, you know, that offends us, and offends our sensibility. when they ask for books to be removed what happened? they are called, what? >> sure. look. probably called bigots, but that's what the reaction will be against. i think what you're seeing is an absolute breakdown of the american people's belief that government is on their side. i think it's partly because of covid, because of shutdowns, because of, you know, as you yourself pointed out, when your government is so afraid of you that it has to put up razor

wire, and turn washington, d.c. into a downtown baghdad there is something profoundly sick going on. i'm an optimist. i think the american people 4 rebel and next year's election will be a disaster for the liberals. because i don't think they can go home and defend any of this. but in 1994 two years after bill clinton won we got 54 seats in. 2010, we got 53 seats. any one of those would guarantee the end of all of the radical ideas for the rest of the biden administration. so i think it's important for people to be tough right now, speak out right now, i think, for example, a lot of the stuff they are going to grind through the house will never get through the senate. and i think if we go to work, we could have a remarkable election next year.

>> laura: speaker pelosi, tear down this wall. that will be the new rallying cry. great to see you tonight. here's some good news americans are more optimistic than ever about covid and the outlook postcovid. according to a new gallup poll a record 60% of americans say it's improving, which of course, it is, but that doesn't mean dr. doom is having any of that. >> you have circulating variants in the community. some of them have increased capacity to transmit, and some are less protected by the vaccine. you want to plan that you will be able within a reasonable time to pull back, but not at a time when we have circulating variants. >> laura: there he goes again. of course, study he's relying on, to claim that these variants can thwart vaccines is far from rock solids. for starters, it's a pre-print, which means it's not peer-reviewed and when you read it it's clear there is nothing

to be worried about at all. out of the 2,000 people tracked in the study zero died from the terrifying new strains. so obviously, the current vaccine and the naturally acquired immunity that we all get if we're exposed to various coronaviruses offers some protection. remember, we were supposed to be overwhelming the hospitals, not vanquishing every trace of virus on the trace of the planet but the goal posts keeps shifting. join us, former hss covid adviser. dr. alexander, how much longer can they keep up this fear mongering over the variants, the science does not seem to be on their side? >> hi, laura. thanks for having me. i agree with you. the scientists -- what we're seeing, we don't have the data, we don't have any evidence to show that the variants are more pathogenic.

we know in a when the virus mutates, it likely becomes more infectious, and that's what we're dealing with right now. people like dr. fauci and sometimes -- as they move these goal posts, look, public health is not just about controlling an infection and infection control. it's about chronic health also. we're going to have a lot of mortality in the years to come. because of these lockdowns, and for reasons that escape me, really, dr. fauci and the cdc, they squandering a tremendous opportunity because they do a miss service to the american people. we have this report that came out yesterday about obesity being such a major risk factor. covid exploits risk factors and covid has exploited obesity in the american population, particularly young minority populations, and that's where

president trump's economic zones was so successful. >> laura: dr. alexander, what's really frustrating, and i'm not a medical expert but i have the privilege of knowing smart people, we were interviewing dr. stephen smith, i think it was in march of last year, and this was at the very beginning of the pandemic, he was treating all of these covid patients, and he kept talking about metabolic syndrome, and the problem with people with high bmi, body mass index. that's such a huge problem. it was in italy early on. it was one of the main co-morbidities along with hypertension, pre-hypertension, diabetes and so forth. he said at the time america needs to go on a diet. that's one of the things we can do and you never hear fauci talk about that or d-3 or ivermectin.

they are way behind all of these other countries. >> definitely, we have a lot of good science now on this early treatment that you just mentioned. for elderly high-risk people but back to that point, the issue is that metabolic syndrome, excess weight in the stomach area, high blood pressure, high sugar, et cetera, we know this is a serious risk factor especially for the minority possiblelation and i think people like dr. fauci should use the podium to have this serious conversation, to dramatically reduce the risk, and i've been looking at this medical cabinet, this is not new. this data has always been there. they have actually squandered and failed this opportunity. >> laura: and now we find out according to a new japanese study that the idea of doubling masking, which we were lid --

ridiculing from day one, double masking has no effect. little help in preventing the viral spread and you're not surprised by this because you've been questioning this idea that masks or not mask, you're going to have much of a difference in the community and they don't have that data, do they? >> right now we've looked at all of the data and we've seen that the mask mandates are very ineffective. more importantly, the mask, the blue surgical mask, cloth mask, are not acceptable as stand alone. they must be used within a compendium of other steps. that was done with some damon any models. >> laura: dummies, not people, we've got to go but the study was done on dummiesing and some

dummiesing. >> a radical d.a. is also facing a serious challenge and he has himself a surprising opponent. maybe california is waking up, plus were your kids racist . we'll show you the documents next. out here, you're a landowner, a gardener, a landscaper and a hunter. that's why you need versatile, durable kubota equipment.

>> laura: governor gavin newsom isn't the only one facing a recall. victims rights advocates in l.a. county have launched a campaign to take down george gas con and now that effort has a prominent new supporter, the l.a. county sheriff. trace gallagher is on our west coast news bureau and he has the latest. >> you talk about infighting. the los angeles d.a. is at odds with l.a. law enforcement, victims rights advocates and even his own staff who sued him and won. it was over putting an end enhancement to california's three strikes law and it turns out the felons are also privy to gascon's far criminal left reform agenda.

a man was about to be transferred to a prison in los angeles county so he devised a plan to get his sentenced reduced and shared the plan with the l.a. county d.a.'s office. listen. >> i hate -- [ bleep ] i'm going to do what i need to do to get back into the l.a. county court system. >> gascon's policies are boosting crime and the numbers support that. the l.a. county sheriff says in the first two months of this year compared to last homicides are up 170%. aggravated assault 13% up. car theft up 75% and arson up 41%. that's a big reason victims' rights groups have launched a recall effort. watch. >> for us to have to walk these streets again with them on the street, knowing that they are going to do it again, it's not fair. please. just get this man out of here.

>> the recall effort needs to gather 580,000 voter signatures in five months, and the recall vote likely wouldn't hit the ballot until 2022. in the meantime, the public battle between the l.a. county d.a. and l.a. county sheriff goes on. laura. >> laura: trace, this is fascinating. now l.a. county sheriff alex -- sheriff, how important is it to all of the victims of crime out there, in california, and potential crime victims, that gascon be removed from office as soon as possible? >> it's extremely important, because he represents, his policies represent a threat to not only victims of crime but just your average law-abiding citizen anywhere throughout the county you read the statistics on the rising crime rate and now he's reducing the consequences for sleep.

crime. -- for crime. all of these things that are traditionally used to keep the worst of the worse locked away, and keeping the public out of harm's way. he's opening the doors and flood gates to all of these people as early as possible. that, i cannot support that. >> laura: during a lecture at usc's law school this happened last year, gascon gave a really twisted version of the history of policing. >> policing in this country started to do what in many parts of the south? >> catch slaves. >> catch slaves and bring them back and then after the civil war, it was to keep black people in their place. >> laura: so sheriff, that's incendiary. so prisons are like modern day slavery. has nothing to do with crimes

committed, nothing to do for retributive punishment. it's about slavery. what does that do to the community and race relations? >> well, the sad thing is that our blacks and our latino communities in l.a. are the ones that will bear if brunt of this ill-advised policies. the overrepresentation of victims of crime is in the black and latino communities, and unfortunately, they are the ones who will take the brunt of it, and the people supporting these policies are far removed from the problem. they are behind -- gated mansions. their secure communities, manicured lawns where they don't have the problems of day-to-day survival situations because of high crime rates. >> laura: he also hired one prosecutor who used to be a defense attorney, a criminal defense attorney, a public defender named tiffany black -- and she's so radical, she wants to abolish prisons altogether and then she sent out a tweet

calling the lapd barbarians. so those are the types of people he chooses to hire as prosecutors? are you kidding me? >> it doesn't end there, unfortunately. we have -- the d.a. formerly ha dismantle that unit. >> laura: sheriff, support for black and latino community for recalling him, what is it? given the fact that they are going to be the victims of this increased crime rate? >> the support, i believe, will be very strong, and if you look at hawkins, for example, she represents mothers of murdered children, she's out there on the front lines. these are the people demanding this recall, and my job is to support victims of crime and where they want to go and i'm definitely here to support them. >> laura: sheriff, thanks so

much for speaking out. i know this is a very unusual dynamic with the sheriff versus the d.a. you guys generally would have a great work relationship, so this is just untenable. unsustainable. thank you so much. we'll be covering this, and this week, we were told that well known children's books and characters are, in fact, if you didn't know it before, racist. apparently some books by dr. seuss perpetuate white supremacy. those same grinches who stole reading are also stealing the adorable chimp known as curious george. that's also racist. what if your kids can become racist before they can even read? is that even possible? that insidious theory is being endorsed by the arizona department of education and the department's equity tool kit claims that babies can show signs of racism at three months old, and that white children at age five remain strongly in favor of whiteness.

joining me now is a journalist. who uncovered this propaganda. taxpayer dollars are plans and lessons. >> that's exactly right. they are essenti perpetuate the ideology of the new racial politics telling people that not only is the average citizen a racist but babies can become racist by three months old and develop into full-blown racist by age four or five. this is not only counterfactual or unscientific it goes against everything most americans believe. it's ridiculous but it's also insidious. it's worked its way into the department of education in arizona that i'll remind you, has a republican governor and republican legislature. >> laura: i want everyone to see this. the arizona department of education also recommends this huffington post piece that says

white parents can and should begin addressing issues of race and racism early. a even before their children can speak. chris, where is governor docy, the republican governor, shutting this down? >> he's got to shut it down and i would encourage him to launch a full investigation. they are turning education into politics for kids to become anti-racist crusaders before they even know their abc's. this is deeply disturbing for most families who want a public education, to give their kids the basic skills to make it in life, and not just turn into left wing activists. >> laura: i want everyone to see this video, and it's one of the resources that the arizona department of education created or offers for teachers. check it out. >> the first thing you can do is work towards becoming more aware of your own implicit biases. what are some prejudices that

you might hold that you're not aware of? second, let's acknowledge that the consequences of slavery and jim crow laws are still affecting access to opportunity today. as a result, we should support systemic changes that create more equal opportunities for everyone. increasing public school funding and making it independent from property taxes would be a great start. >> laura: first, i want to know how much they paid for that chris, because it's so badly illustrated, and animated. number two, it looks like something out of sesame street. the bottom line is just propaganda, pure and simple, and the teachers, i'm sure, feel under pressure, even if they don't agree with it. >> yes, i've talked to teachers all over the country that are feeling this kind of woke onslaught. they oppose this but they are scared to speak out. but the fundamental dynamic that you need to understand is. this bureaucrats within the permanent public agencies are now starting to weaponize the bureaucracy, weapon size the education system against the values of most --

>> laura: chris, thanks for continuing to expose all of this. >> thank you. >> laura: joe and nancy zoom together and why is general psaki talking about breakfast favorites. our mystery guest, five grammy nominations. the big reveal a little bit later. r a lot less oral pain medicines. and improved quality of life. that's why we recommend salonpas. it's good medicine.

>> laura: it's friday and that means it's time for "friday follies." for that we turn to author of the forthcoming book "the beast who stole heaven," hitting bookstores next week. fox news contributor raymond arroyo. the white house press secretary is taking questions in a new way. >> each week, laura, general psaki responds to the

appropriating questions, not the border crisis or the administration's plan to turn the election upside-down. no. the important stuff. it's tonight's marquis milarky. >> what did you have for breakfast this morning? >> what is biden doing to create unity in our country. this is what the president ran on and what he's focused on every day. it's about his actions every day, his rhetoric and how we all speak from this government. >> the unifying rhetoric of president biden and how they speak for this government. we saw so many examples of that this week. for instance, this unifying moment, when he reacted to governor abbott opening up texas. >> the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that everything is fine, take off your mask. forget it. >> then there was this unifying

racial moment. >> it's amazing, indians of descent -- americans taking over the country, my speech writers, i tell you what -- >> why is he so racially obsessed? accomplished people are taking over the country. their race is secondary but biden seems stuck in his old ways, laura. >> you can't go to a 7-eleven or a dunkin' donuts unless you have a slight indian accent. >> laura: really going to the greatest hits there, arroyo. the old biden. every time someone does something, a governor or a mayor, that's not in line with the medical cartel, we're going to stay locked down and quadruple mask forever they have to dismiss them and defame them and demean them, that's all they now how to do because the science is not on their side in the way they are handling this. >> if he where are a children's

illustrator, he would have been cancel for these comments but all of these are distractions, dogs, valentine's, press secretary, marquis milarky is meant to keep from us this reality. joe bide isn't not really in charge. this was from thursday. watch. >> am i supposed to speak or is -- going to say something? i was told i was going to -- did you want to say something? i'll be quiet. >> this is his default position. i'll be quiet. what do i do? where do i go? what? and the curtain comes down. it's very sad to watch, i have to say. >> laura: he looks like -- many of our relatives when they are getting into their later years. look, we all might be there sooner than we would like, but it's not reassuring, that's all. >> no, it's not. laura, turning to another topic, nobody likes getting shots or vaccines. there is nothing worse than a

doctor or a nurse who prolongs what i call the shot suspense. they make a big production. they put on the gloves. then they have to swab you like they are priming a wall. then they have to tap the skin, soften it up. just get the shot in and get it over with. so it was nice to see dolly parton, in addition to singing during her vaccination, she dealt with this drama far better than i would have. >> do what you're going to do, do it. i'm just the patient. i didn't know you were going to be so clumsy. i hope you do better -- laura, for a second i thought she was going to sing her hit, i want to slug you, but she didn't do that. she restrained herself, and look, this woman gave them a million dollars for research at vanderbilt.

the least they can do is speed up the action. don't make her wait. raymond. raymond. she could have cooked an entire break pass for six people with grits, eggs, bacon, and fresh squeezed juice before they finished that vaccine. that is the worst -- they always have trouble getting the needle n't know. the blood never comes out or whatever. so they are always doing this, and don't you love it when they try to go in and get the blood and, they go, oh, this is not working, we'll go in with a butterfly. they have to go into the wrist which hurts a little bit more. oh, my god. i'll give you the back of my hand. >> let's give dolly big points for restraint there. i was amazed by her grace under fire. before we go, laura, nancy pelosi introduced joe biden the other day at a zoom event with democrat lawmakers, and she used her grandchildren. >> my grandchildren have for many, many years been long-time friends of joe biden.

i took them for candy at a place in new york where they have swinging doors. i hear them come down. in order to open these doors, we do not say open sesame, we say, open biden. that's our magic word. open biden. love it. [laughter] >> one pauses considering what she just said. this could be the watchword for the entire party at this point. anything they want they just say, open biden and he signs the paper, and off it goes. but after hearing this, i think most viewers will want to say, close nancy. have a good weekend, laura. >> laura: raymond, it's the same thing with dr. fauci, may i, remember mother may i, remember that game? mother may i take three steps? dr. fauci, may i go see my mother who i haven't seen in a year?

mother, may i travel to oregon? mother -- dr. fauci, that's the new kid's game although at some point it will be canceled. just a warning to everybody. it will be canceled. raymond, great to see you have, a wonderful weekend. tonight's mystery guest, a clue, half of a dynamic duo. the mystery guest reveals himself next. yeah, i'm just an i.t. manager. okay, this is "just" an i.t. manager destroying cyber threats with a vengeance. we've edited out the violence. no, it's not violent. i'm just using sophos to defeat cyber threats. we'll never fully understand how "just" an i.t. manager does it. i use soph...(beep) "just" an i.t. manager doesn't have to tell us how he does it. we just know he does. ( ♪♪ ) i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking we just know he does.

in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

half of a dynamic duo.

>> laura: we've been giving you hints throughout the show and it's finally time to find out who our mystery guest is this week. number one, this apprentice host add reality show. number two, five grammy nominations. number three, he's half of a dynamic duo, so who could bit? mystery guest, reveal yourself. those were easy clues. it's country music star john rich of big and rich. we did the democrat version, okay, because we have to make it easy for the democrats, john. also hosted pursuit with john rich exclusively on fox nation. john, thanks so much for being with us. >> yes, ma'am. surprise. i'm glad to be here.

thanks for having me on. >> laura: i want to start with something a little different because i think, if my memory serves me right, that your early dream was not necessarily to become a country star, but to become a team roper for the rodeo. okay. first of all what is that? and second, what would you have done if you weren't a singer, really is that what would you have done? >> oh, laura, you're so -- come on, you don't know what a team roper is? where i grew up in amarillo, texas, ain't a whole lot going on except for cows and combines and agriculture and probably one of the coolest things you could do would be to be a team roper so one guy ropes the horns and one guy ropes the heels. and, you know, you impress all the girls if you can head and heel so i used to stand outside waiting on the school bus, and i had these plastic steer horns sticking out of a bail of hay,

1-2-3, throw it and pull it back. my original big dream. >> laura: you're also a college football fan, we share that in common and your song coming to your city, has been the theme for espn's college game day for 15 seasons. so how did that partnership come about? >> well, so, you know, big and rich, we put out these big high powered energetic country songs. we got this one, coming to your city, and college game day, way back in the day, they said, we're going to start going town-to-town, and that new big and rich song is perfect coming to your city because that's what we're doing and we partnered up with espn, and man, you look up and cowboy troy and me and big kenny, a 15 years of college football, man, it's been pretty cool. >> laura: john, you have a bar in your home in nashville that's legendary. okay. and you claim that you write a lot of your songs there.

i want to get proof of that okay. what exactly about that bar lends to your creativity, to get the juices flowing? >> first of all, do have i bar in my house or i do have a house in the bar? that's a big debate. you would have to come up and see it sometime. you know what? you should broadcast this show from my bar. >> you've been telling me that. >> laura: let me just tell everybody watching this, john rich has been telling me the same thing for about 15 years. okay. you're going to come, we'll have a big party. it will be great. crickets, get nothing. so now on national tv, i totally have you. okay. totally have you on this. >> the door is wide open, laura. any time you want to come but i'll tell you, i do write a lot of songs there because it's looking right at downtown nashville which is music city and there is so much talent down in that town. you understand, not only who is currently there but who came through prior to that, all the greats came through, and so to

sit there and have a little whiskey, pull out an old gibson guitar, it's a pretty inspiring spot to sit. >> laura: all right. cash and colt. your songs? >> they are. that's my two boys. >> laura: explain the names. >> they are 9 and 11. cash and colt. cash was named after my all time favorite singer-songwriter. nobody did it better than johnny cash and as a songwriter you couldn't resist the cash rich. this dude won't have any trouble meeting girls named cash rich, and colt, he was name after america's greatest gun maker of all time, sam colt so if you put cash and colt together, their nickname is guns and money, okay. >> laura: i knew it. okay. i was able to figure that out pretty easily but i just needed to hear that from you. it's time for "this or that." the game is simple. i'll name two things and you just pick whichever you like

better. we'll put 30 seconds up on the clock and try to get through as many of these as we can. we start now. this is easy now. johnny cash or johnny carson. >> johnny cash, man in black. >> guitar toilet. or guitar shaped pool? >> i'll take the guitar shaped pool. >> which is more country, texas or tennessee? >> oh. i would say texas, but tennessee helped us out at the alamo. >> laura: barbecue, texas or tennessee? >> got the smoke, got the smoke. >> laura: all right. well, i was actually going to go to one more but we'll have to save it, john, for your next appearance. john rich. john rich, i'm glad you didn't go into roping. i'm glad you went into music because otherwise we wouldn't be having so much fun. thanks for joining us. great to see you, as you always. >> thank you, laura.

appreciate it. >> laura: and there is a lot more of my conversation with john rich. so go to foxnation.com right after the show and you can watch the full interview. but coming up, you think cuomo's scandals are bad? we found reason to disqualify all of the new york city mayoral candidates for their behavior.
