andrew cuomo's got a ton of baggage.verybody -- does everybody remember that? we're going to see how long and how short people's memories are. keep in mind the radical left, i don't even think andrew cuomo is left enough for the left wing that we've got going on in this city. bryan: well, look, 66% of new yorkers think the city's going in the wong direction, that according to the manhattan institute poll, so so we'll see how the city deals with its local politics. with that, i do want to bring up this point about a eric adams and the charges being dropped. this is a washington post op-ed. the title here says trump's justice department bungles the eric adams case dismissal. the department created the ugly impression that i raw politics controlled its decision make makes -- making, and it goes on to say the damage here is the bribery allegations against adams were underwhelming, it's the ugly impression of raw political force controlling the justice department decisions. what the do you make of that? i mean, at what point

we have these rumors out there andrew cuomo might be running.chul is a little bit concerned he will be able to do some rounds on her. she is perhaps using this crisis with eric adams because it is theatrical spirited when it's theatrics from the beginning. she has never had to remove eric adams or physically incapacitated and that's not clear in a major cause, major crime. what we have seen the justice department actually will drop those charges. these are people not calling for eric adams to resign or waiting his removal when indicted but only now he is cooperating with federal law enforcement and the trump administration that they think they can remove him. that is not lawful. speech a very interesting perspective and she's not playing checkers that chas. and laymen turns, she has a better relationship with eric adams than she does governor cuomo. she is worried about being the next mayor but do you think that will happen? i think it is a possibility. the polling numbers are there and if mayor adams continues to follow trajectory where he's no

if it's not going to be eric adams at this point, it looks like it's going to be andrew cuomo, a man charged with numerous acts of sexual harassment, among other things. i mean, this is a very sad reality for new york city right now. so when i say he has one chance to fix it, it's almost like a prayer that something gets better in this city. and the mayor shows that leadership to help us get out of this mess. >> here's why i ask whether he has a chance to fix it. when you look at what happened surrounding him, never mind the case being dropped by the trump administration. and by the way, the deputy attorney general has said it wasn't dropped on the merits of the case. it was dropped because he wouldn't be able if he was doing this and being in court, wouldn't be able to go through with with donald trump's initiatives on immigration. so it wasn't about the merits of the case. but when you look at what happened surrounding mayor adams, you had and i have to read this because there are so many. you had so many people resign. a whole bunch of aides. but the first deputy mayor resigned, t

we know andrew cuomo or formally disgraced governor of new york, is waiting in the wings and is pickingssue because he has had a complicated relationship with black leaders and black community in the past, and so we're still unclear. also, the court of public opinion keeps changing. there are many people who are disappointed in eric adams. you know, as the second black mayor of new york city, however, is the city thriving? it could be much better. we've had way too much turnover and lack of leadership. i think many people wish his managerial style was stronger. but is it surviving? absolutely. are there certain communities that are very happy? business, labor, real estate, they're still afloat. so it's not as though new york city is falling off of a cliff. and we know that that does matter when we go to the to the election booth. and for who's supporting the mayor financially and otherwise. >> right. but then it also is important for governor hochul, who has said that as long as manhattan and as long as as long as new york city is able to continue being functional, as long as voters are

um, at one point when i was mayor and her predecessor, andrew cuomo, and i had some conflicts duringovid era, he dangled that threat. it's not even a threat that should be dangled lightly. so i would say this is a very thoughtful process that the governor has to bring to it. i do think the original case was weak, but what changed here? i think for so many people was this fascinating sort of turn of the screw by the justice department to not just either drop the case or say, we're going ahead with the case or a pardon. they came up with something none of us expected. we're dropping the case, but maybe we're not really dropping the case. and again that put that put adams in a seemingly captive role that the only person could get him out of was him. and what does he do? he goes on fox and friends with tom homan and and just doubles down the fears that people had that he was in some form or fashion, captive. that's what has set this crisis off. it's not just a legal thing, it's really a political thing as well. but that said, no governor should ever look at a situation of taking out a de

and she's got andrew cuomo potentially waiting in the wings as somebody who's going to run for mayor,could be quite a challenge for her. speaking of challenges here in federal court behind me, that's going to be the big question for judge dale hoe is how much he wants to challenge. what is something that is typically very a very simple process, the idea of dismissing a case. it is based on the courts and the laws of the country, typically just a formality that federal prosecutors would come to a court and say, look, we now want to dismiss the charges. a pretrial that is, when they're in trial. that's a bit of a different process. but we're in the pretrial phase phase. and so basically, it's up to them to say whether or not they want to bring charges and whether or not they want to dismiss them. the only two things that could potentially come up here. one is a case that goes back over 70 years ago that was brought up in now former acting u.s. attorney danielle sassoon's letter to attorney general bondi prior to her resignation. resignation that is basically addressing the fact that cou

some of the factors weighing in on governor hochul's thinking might be the impact on andrew cuomo, theredicament here, because if adams were to resign, what? stopping department of justice to rescind the deal and just say, hey, guess what, we're going to bring this back. you know, so this is this is complicated on a number of levels, but right now is tomorrow's point. it's the biggest city in the nation, really, seemingly without any leadership at the helm. >> yes, jonathan. and an. >> unprecedented situation. i mean, i think, you know, you saw this. >> as the. >> reporting started to make clear. >> last week. >> that the pretext for, for the, for. >> the. >> for giving this, this not a pardon, but a commutation in a sense of the removal of the, of the indictment with without prejudice that, that the pretext for it was that it would interfere with the governor's ability to do his job, or the mayor's ability to do his job, which, of course, you know, we have a grand tradition of indicted mayors in america. the mayors all over the country have been indicted on corruption charges over. >>

legal considerations, also political ones, including the fate of former new york governor andrew cuomohe judge will make the ruling. reverend al sharpton, thank you so much for joining us this morning. american british co-chair and former white house infrastructure coordinator for the biden administration, mitch landrieu. thank you as well. good to see you, mr. mayor. mika, back to you. >> all right. >> president trump is blaming. ukraine for russia's invasion nearly three. >> years ago. >> he made the comments yesterday after. reporters pressed. >> him on. >> ukrainian officials not being involved in the diplomatic. >> talks between. >> the. u.s. and russia. in saudi arabia. >> i hear that, you know, there's upset about not having a seat. well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that this could have been settled very easily. just a half a half baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without, i think, without the loss of much land, very little land without the loss of any lives and without the loss of cities that are just laying on their sides. you hav

early days of the pandemic, where for all the many other mistakes he made, i thought governor andrew cuomoothers today, but especially from the democrats? >> i think. >> that you cannot overcommunicate you cannot wait and have private discussions. you know, again, jeffries, schumer, i think they want to do the right thing, but we need to be seeing much more from them. you can't just wait for a whole strategy and then start messaging. you can't wait for that. you have to start communicating with the american people now and telling them what is happening, showing them you're going to stand up. and then of course, there are the legal avenues as well. but until these republicans fear for their jobs from anyone other than donald trump, they're going to. >> be. >> beholden to. >> him instead of the constitution. >> yeah. 2017 2018 nancy pelosi took it upon herself to be the face for the democrats opposition. we're not seeing a singular figure do that for the democrats, at least not yet. bring in. let's bring into this conversation now, former u.s. ambassador to russia michael mcfaul. he is direc
