tv The Reid Out MSNBC August 3, 2021 4:00pm-5:00pm PDT
4:00 pm
moment by someone who, well, you see right there, just took the mic. he is the majority leader. that does for me. thank you as always for spending time with us here on "the beat." you can find me online @arimelber on social media. good evening, everyone. i'm jonathan kapart in for joy reid. late this afternoon, president biden joe biden joined the chorus of the investigation. >> are you now calling on him to resign? >> yes. >> and if he doesn't resign, do you think he should be impeached
4:01 pm
from office? >> let's do one thing at a time here. i think he should resign. >> it includes chuck schumer and gillenbrand. they said the governor can no longer remain in office saying they will expedite the impeachment investigation. and yet cuomo was defiant today, digging in his heels despite the damning revelations unveiled by attorney letitia james. >> andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women.
4:02 pm
the investigators found that governor cuomo's actions and those of the executive chamber violated multiple state and federal laws. none of this would have been illuminated if not for the heroic women who came forward. >> the evidence backing those conclusions is documented in a scathing report of more than 160 pages. investigators conducted 179 interviews, 41 of which were under oath. they received 280 tips and gathered 74,000 pieces of evidence. they found cuomo sexually harassed 11 victims who described being, quote, violated, humiliated and terrified. according to the attorney general's office, it was all part of a disturbing pattern of conduct. >> the governor hugged executive assistant number one and reached under her blouse to grab her breast. there were also several occasions on which the governor grabbed her butt. the governor also, several
4:03 pm
times, inappropriately touched a state trooper assigned to the unit to protect the governor. he took his open hand and ran it across her stomach from her belly button to the hip where she keeps her gun. the governor pressed and ran his fingers across the chest of a woman while reading the name of her company whose logo was on her chest. the governor crossed the line many times when speaking with charlotte bennett. he told her he was lonely and wanted to be touched. >> those findings open up cuomo to possible impeachment and even prosecution. but bear this in mind, because this was a civil investigation, any decision on criminal charges must be left to law enforcement agencies. and, in fact, the albany county district attorney today announced they have an ongoing investigation into cuomo's conduct. for months cuomo has denied any wrongdoing, and he did so again in a pretaped address that he released after the a.g.'s findings were made public today. >> i want you to know directly
4:04 pm
from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. that is just not who i am. and that's not who i have ever been. >> in a signal that he won't go quietly, cuomo and his attorneys released an 85-page rebuttal. i'm not sure if that's going to help him. what's worse than an executive? one with no friends. maya wiley is a former candidate for new york, and a former special advisor to governor cuomo. kim, let me start with you. i want to play what governor cuomo said in denying the allegations from charlotte bennett. have a listen.
4:05 pm
>> i have heard charlotte and her lawyer, and i understand what they are saying. but they read into comments that i made and draw inferences that i never meant. charlotte, i want you to know that i am truly and deeply sorry. i was trying to help. obviously, i didn't. >> okay, now hear charlotte bennett respond to governor cuomo in an interview late this afternoon. >> do you think he's gaslighting you? >> absolutely. he is trying to justify himself by making me out to be someone who can't tell the difference between sexual harrassment and mentorship. he sexually harassed me. i am not confused. it is not confusing. i am living in reality, and it's sad to see that he's not. >> at one point he said that he was trying to help you work
4:06 pm
through a difficult time. did that seem like that was his intention? >> no. his intention was trying to sleep with me. >> assembly member kim, how on earth does governor cuomo think that he can remain governor of the state of new york one more minute after something like that? >> it's absolutely ridiculous. i want to first acknowledge charlotte and the other woman who bravely and courageousing stepped up. especially at a time when we have a culture where we do not believe women. they stepped up and took a responsibility to hold this executive accountable. there is a clear conduct of abuse of power and it is our duty to hold him accountable. if he doesn't step down, we must impeach. >> susan, you know, in the montage that we showed, the prosecutor mentioned executive
4:07 pm
assistant number one. in the report, there was something in there that you, as someone who has been a staffer for principals and also governor coe, i want to read something. the governor claimed that it was executive assistant number one who was the initiator of the hugs while he was more in the reciprocal business. he testified that he would go along with tight hugs that executive a assistant 1 initiated because he did not want to make any one feel awkward about anything. there is no way that a staffer would initiate this from anyone, especially a governor of a state. >> i have not ever seen that happen. anyone who knows andrew cuomo
4:08 pm
would know it's not something you would do. i can't imagine at a moment during my tenure with the governor reaching out and hugging him and him thinking that would be acceptable behavior. it's just absurd on its face value. but what's more important is that what makes him think that that is an acceptable thing to say? how does he think he can get away with his behavior blaming these women? first for saying they don't understand when they're being sexually harassed, then to claim that they reached out to him? there are so many things in this rebuttal which are disgraceful and that the governor -- it just has to stop. it's time for him to step down. he probably won't, but this is going to go down a bad road for him even worse. he has no friends in albany tonight. and i would also like to just kind of give a shoutout to
4:09 pm
assemblyman kim. he in many ways started this calling the governor out as a bully. you don't see that with a state legislator ever with governor cuomo. he called him out hard, and i think that gave a lot of credibility to these other women coming out, because they saw how he went after them and they didn't stop -- and he didn't stop. i really think he deserves credit for opening up the door for the toxic environment of this governor's office. >> assembly member kim, do you want to respond? >> people in albany have known about the governor's abusive style of governing for years. >> we're having trouble --
4:10 pm
>> -- if they weren't going to take anymore -- >> we're having trouble with assembly member kim's audio. we're going to try to get that fixed. and i want to say it is so good to see you again. i want to play what the albany district attorney played today about the possibility of criminal charges. >> based on what you've seen in this report, is any of the behavior described and attributed to the governor, would any of that be considered criminal? >> well, the allegations early on certainly led myself and other prosecutors with concurrent jurisdiction to believe that criminal activity, in fact, had taken place. but we will conduct our own independent investigation. it will be done expeditiously and we will arrive at those concludes. >> maya, you're former u.s.
4:11 pm
district attorney. what do you think. >> first i want to the -- use his power and there's nothing surprising or new in that from governor cuomo. it is actually criminal. read the investigation report and the allegations, and frankly, we knew this back in the spring and even march from leslie boylan's complaints. the accusations are at a minimum forcible touching. that is a crime in new york state. it is a misdemeanor, but each individual incident is its own count. there are a lot of counts in this case. there is also the issues of
4:12 pm
many. ly. we have two saying these women are incredible and they have corroborating evidence for each claim, and secondly, we should all be disturbed that the most powerful man in the state is willing to use that power, frankly, to abuse women. that's what this report concludes and it's not new. >> right, a lot of evidence in the report is text messages and everything else done contemporaneously. the idea that the governor is pushing back and saying, no, this nooefr happened. or it can be misconstrued.
4:13 pm
ly. >> many many accountability of an executively, a mandate accountable, so we can learn what we did wrong. not only is this above women, but i'm not sure how. we need to hoimd accountable so we can fix it and not make the same mistakes moving forward. >> i i -- >> i do it with everyone, black and white, young and old, straight and lgbtq.
4:14 pm
powerful people, friends, strangers, people who i meet on the street. >> susan? i kind of get what he was trying to do. see, no big deal, i kiss everyone. would you have -- just your reaction. i can't even -- >> that's basically my reaction, i can't even. but here's the thing. he's trying to use an excuse that, oh, that's how i was brought up, his father did it before him as governor. you are not allowed to make any kind of advancement, touch anyone as an employer to an employee without their consent. this is just absurd, because even if he thinks there is nothing wrong with it, that just shows that he's ill equipped to be governing right now in this day and age. he may be at work 30 years ago
4:15 pm
when he saw his father doing it, but in this day and age, the governor or any employer should know they cannot go around kissing people. and if they don't see anything being wrong with that, and he used the offense, oh, i know. >> these ex, i was in the governor's office every day and he didn't come over and kiss me, and i'm grateful for that. >> maya, i'll give you the last word as someone who sought public office in new york city, but if you were the next mayor, you would have to deal with andrew cuomo. what's your message to viewers tonight, knowing what they have
4:16 pm
now about our governor. almost everyone in new york is trying this right now. i grab everyone's breasts. no, he doesn't. in the allegations, he would not be the loorgs candidate, baent doing it to the men p. but it comes at the cost of the tup trust. ly this is about abuse of power. this is about abusing office and this means abusing the people of new york and we just can't have it anymore. >> maya anderson, thank you to

4:37 pm
tyson announced they would expect all of their employees to be vaccinated by fall. today president biden sent a message directly to governors who are resisting such mandates even as their hospitals are setting off alarms. >> worst of all, some state officials are passing laws or signing orders that forbid people from doing the right thing. as of now, seven states not only banned mask mandates but also banned them in their school districts. i say to these governors, please help. if you're not going to help, at least get out of the way. >> this statement from the president comes as covid is once again overwhelming hospitals in states like louisiana, which is leading the nation in new cases and has become the first state to reissue a statewide indoor mask mandate that goes into effect tomorrow. joining me now is dr. katherine
4:38 pm
o'neill, infectious disease specialist, and a doctor at our lady hospital. dr. o'neill thank you so much for coming to "the reidout." you said to reuters today, these are the darkest days of this epidemic. we are no longer giving adequate care to patients. talk more about that. >> yesterday when we spoke at the governor's conference, myself and a group of physicians really just supporting the mask mandate, we talked about where we are today, which is today in louisiana, the most hospitalizations eve ever seen from covid-19 at one time. at the end of the day at our hospital, 175 patients admitted with covid-19, the highest we've
4:39 pm
had at one time, admitting one child per hour at our hospital. it doesn't get any better than this, and what it means is we're losing the safety net our hospital relies on. what is that safety net for the community? it's quick action, it's making sure people get the care they need on time, and now we're seeing delays not just in the hospital but delay in care if you're approaching in an emergency standpoint, getting out to you if you have an emergency. that's something that not just covid-19 patients but everybody depends on. >> i was going to ask you about that. there is a story in the a.p. that louisiana breaks record for covid-19 hospitalizations, but here's the key quote, health officials say the influx of covid-19 patients is damaging hospitals' ability to care for people with heart attacks,
4:40 pm
injuries from car accidents and other serious conditions. >> we're making sure everybody gets the health care they need and everybody gets the quality of care we would give to every single patient. so what we heard today in our call with the governor and our department of health, hospitals around the state who said we can't get a patient out of the hospital, nobody is accepting transfers, and these are patients who are sitting in hospitals that don't have the level of care that they need. so when we take care of mass disasters, when we take care of issues like hurricanes, we all pull together and we're seeing a fracture of that because each one is overloaded. there is no way to pull out of this together except to vaccinate and wear a mask. >> dr. o'neill, i want everyone who is watching to watch a patient at your hospital named
4:41 pm
chantal. have a listen to what she has to say. >> go get the shots. don't be like me. look at me. i'm in a hospital suffering. i got a breathing problem. got high blood pressure. got diabetes and going through all this because one stubborn mama, oh, i'm superwoman. i'm going to be all right. nope. you can be superwoman, but superwoman can shut down. >> dr. o'neill, just listening to that breaks my heart. her compelling message, will that resonate for people in louisiana, for people around the country who have yet to be vaccinated? >> i hope so, but i think what we've learned from speaking to so many people about what their hesitancy is is that everybody
4:42 pm
needs a different message. some have the message of don't delay, now is the time. but some people need the message that they really feel like they won't be harmed by this disease. they are of the healthy age, the demographic that it's not going to hurt them. i think at this point we need to realize vaccination is a team sport, a community activity, and whether or not it's going to affect you in a way that is detrimental to your health by not getting vaccinated, you affect the rest of the community. and the unvaccinated are really putting too much of a pressure on our community, so we need this to become a community effort to get rid of this infection in our community and allow that safety net to protect everybody the way that it should. >> with that we're going to leave it there. i hope everyone hears you, dr. o'neill, and also here's chantal's message there. dr. o'neal, thank you for being on "the reidout."

ocasio-cortez. sanders campaigned for turner while clyburn campaigned for brown. meanwhile, trump's endorsement power is being put to the test while his candidate lost last week in texas. he endorsed kerry in the sixth district of texas. joined now by "new york times" reporter robinsons -- there's two of you! you've been covering these races in ohio. i want to specifically ask you about the turner/brown race. folks are waiting for the first results to come in because this really is a battle between the two wings of the democratic party. >> that's exactly right,
4:49 pm
jonathan. the people i've spoken to on the ground really can't overstate how acrimonious and bitter it's gotten where you have a flood of politician money, luminaies in the democratic party and the movement, coming in and making their case against the other candidate. they haven't really seen anything this contentious in recent times, and i think a lot of folks there are quite unsettled by it and will be glad to have it over. that said, when that's done, i don't think you're going to have, regardless of who wins, a very clear answer about which wing of the party has the momentum behind it. it's a special election, and as you well know, most special elections don't draw very much turnout and neither side, the
4:50 pm
pro activist's left flank of the party and the leader in washington is going to concede they screwed this up and throw up their hands waving the white flag. i think we have 2022 ahead of us and a lot more races like these to cover. >> gene, i'd love to get your thoughts on this, but struck by how forward members of the congressional black caucus have been in their comments in this race. you've got chairwoman joyce beatty who said shontell brown would honor the rich history of the group not be someone who fights against it. congressman gregory meek of new york, she wouldn't, quote, come in and try to break up that unity. gene. >> yeah, this is tough stuff.
4:51 pm
look, you've got different personalities at work here, too. and nina turner, let's face it, she see a lightening rod or maybe a lightening bolt. she is a fiery speaker, a fiery person. to say that she doesn't mince words is really an understatement. and a lot of people including jim clyburn were offended and really ticked off by some of the things she said during the 2020 presidential campaign including really a cold reference to joe biden that didn't go very well. >> we got that headline. >> and so they've all piled in behind shontel brown, but turner has the money. she has more money than brown.
4:52 pm
i don't know if that's going to be the deciding factor. and as you said it's a special election. an off-cycle special election primary. so who knows what turnout will be like, but you expect it to be pretty low. so the question is who motivates their voters to go out and vote? and we'll find out i guess in a little while. >> jeremy, let's look on the republican side. what's going on in that race? ten republicans running in this -- in the primary. who's -- i mean, are all ten actually viable, or was this a race between one or two people -- between two or three people? >> well, the issue is, yeah, i think it could be wide open depending on turnout, right? it's the same wide open, actually, probably overstates the competitiveness given the sheer name recognition that comes with a trump endorsement
4:53 pm
of the republican party. but as a conservative activist pointed out to me when i was reporting on this story last week, in such an enormous field in a low turnout election a small number of votes can make the difference. and a number of the people running against the trump endorsed candidate, this energy lobbyist who was virtually unknown before trump endorsed him named michael kerry, are several people with long histories of conservative activism in the district. they're just better known political figures or at least their records of conservatives known to voters. i don't know, it should be interesting. as you pointed out, jonathan, trump lost a race last week in texas, one of his preferred candidates didn't win in a special race there. so if michael kerry goes down
4:54 pm
tonight, that is really going to be black eye and put a big question mark over the supposed political goal ticket that donald trump's endorsement is. >> gene, in the minute we have left i've got to get your reaction to the new order from the cdc, a new eviction moratorium. for 60 days, would last until the 3rd of october. does this solve the problem for the administration and for the white house? >> no, of course it doesn't solve the problem. it might -- it's a band-aid that could last until october 3rd. the president himself says he doesn't think it'll pas or he's doubtful it'll pass constitutional muster what he's doing. but chalk this up for the progressives, for the progressive wing, for cory bush, the representative from missouri who's been sleeping outside the
4:55 pm
