announcement from the attorney general leticia james. let's listen. major announcement. >> the independent investigation has concluded on governor andrew cuomo sexually arrested multiple women and violated federal and state law. the investigation found that governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and non-consensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women. the investigators corroborated and substantiated these facts through interviews and evidence, including contemporaneous notes and communications. this evidence will be made available to the public along with the report. this investigation was started after a number of women publicly alleged that they had been sexually harassed by governor cuomo and on march 1 of this year, the governor's office made a referral to my office pursuant to state executive law 63.8 regarding these allegations. executive law section 63.8 permits the new york attorne

leticia james also mentioned this was a violation of federal laws. she talked about this being a hostile work environment, which may interest some federal regulators to look into these charges, and there is a political aspect. the new york legislature is already investigating this. they have their over separate investigation. we heard from the head of the assembly who said they will read this report closely but they're moving on their own timeline. we have heard renewed calls in washington for cuomo to resign. >> we have heard democrats all say he should resign. it sounds like from his statement that he is ready to fight this. i wonder what options he has because i am not 100% clear on how it works at the state level. on the federal level, if a president is impeached, as we have seen a couple of times now, there has been a trial in the senate. they decide guilt or innocence. i am not sure how it works on the state level but i think an impeachment would immediately bring cuomo out of office. tina: there would be an impeachment in the new york legislat

. >> leticia james is talking now, and says that new york governor andrew cuomo has violated federal and state laws in creating, and these are the big headline points out of this report, in sexually harassing multiple women including current and former state employees as well as others that the governor and his team retaliated against those who came forward with their stories, and that executive chamber was rife with fear and intimidation and a hostile work environment this has been one of the ongoing accusations that the governor created a toxic work environment for those who were under his supervision and care the governor has repeatedly denied these claims. we're listening now, what this means for the governor, what it means going forward, because there are multiple investigations going on right now. independent investigations about his handling of covid in nursing homes and whether he and his aides tried to cover up what the real impact was of covid in nursing homes. there is an investigation into that book deal he got, writing about leadership during the coronavirus pandemic and

and leticia james is still investigating whether the governor used state resources on his $5.1 millioniminal charges that could come from the sexual harassment conduct that was detailed in leticia james's original report. stay tuned. >> john campbell, thank you for the update. we'll be in touch in the coming weeks. >>> the economy is reopening anand you are paying. the latest numbers prove prices are going up on just about everything right now. m m what are products are we seeing inflation take the biggest toll? >> reporter: women's dresses up about 19% in price over the lass apples and milk up 6%, fresh fruit up more than 8%, meat up nearly 11%. we talked to one food distributor who said he's seen incredible price increases. >> instead of a normal 2 to 3% increase, it could be a 10, 20 or 15% increase. i've been doing this 35 years. i'm scared to the point of are they going to stop buying the product. >> we have to eat. what can i say? a lot of teams i have to g compromise. >> reporter: of course companies are paying workers more these days. unfortunately those fatter paychecks are no

what we are seeing the state attorney general leticia james, the rules are going to apply to you.is the real problem, cat. he's got really powerful figures inside his own party determined to take them out. really, first of all he is a horrible human being, he is a creep. what someone wants to be the new governor of new york it's either attorney general james, it might be de blasio. this is an internal party take out. they have decided cuomo is now wildly inconvenient. the giving him evidence and the rope to take him out. i will note this, cats, you know this is a hit job because someone wants to be governor because they don't want to the rest home a policy that cuomo used to kill over 15000 elderly because that might be damaging to other governors like whitman, newsom and murphy. it's a job someone is trying to be governor wanted to cuomo out. kat: ned mentioned have not wanted to follow his own rules. he himself made the law structure that sexual harassment did not need to be pervasive or serious in order to be illegal. why would this guy do that if he was doing all of this? >> k

the thing is everybody always knew this investigation being run by leticia james who may also have aspirations to make a run for the governorship. >> everybody knew this was the time bomb and i think by virtue of the fact that hasty doing a 180 on cuomo this afternoon, that shows the way the wind is blowing here in new york. >> this report had as well about information within the governor's staff about attempts to potentially put together a coordinated effort to discredit some of these victims, allegations of retaliation, harassment, of trying to silence people. mention of staffers and aides as well. jonathan, melissa der rosa is one whose name has come up again and again as part of this conversation. what potential liability would aides, people within his office who knew about these things who may have been taking part in the alleged retaliation, what worry should they have at this point? >> first of all, that's a critical linchpin for impeachment. much of this conduct is occurring on state ground. also, if you are coordinating or allowing a campaign retaliation through state officials, you a

. >> a devastating indictment of governor cuomo by leticia james, accusing him of sexually harassingnvestigation as leticia james, the state attorney general noted, this was five months long, 179 former individuals interviewed and over 74,000 pieces of emails, text messages, documents to corroborate what these women said happened. you may remember the exclusive interview with one of the victims, charlotte bennet, who said the governor, at 25 years old, had asked her about her sex life, if she ever had sex with older men, saying it was inappropriate. everything we heard today is what we've been reporting and hearing for the last several months, that women said they were sexually harassed, comments. and this was a toxic work environment, which is what we heard from letici james. governor cuomo said he did nothing wrong. in fact, an interview that he reread it said i was eager to get to the facts. well, the facts today point to what the attorney general said, that the governor of new york state harassed women, violated their rights and these were state and federal crimes that were commi

but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat. so me to is continuing within the democratic camp. andrew cuomo will no longer be the governor of the state of new york. and at this point, it seems like the fallout from the new level of awareness respond by the me to hash tag campaign on social media is continuing with andrew cuomo, who has been governor of new york since 2011 being forced to resign. i kayla. thanks for that little bit earlier in the program, i spoke with a legal and media analyst, lionel. he says, quote, most resignation was only a matter of time. he perhaps gave one of the worst defences ever in the history of defences. i mean, it was a man who was completely divorced from reality. it's like nothing you've ever seen . you could not how possibly handled this worse, by the way, he has multiple criminal charges that are pending. this is a man who was responsible, so they say for 15000 elderly people meeting their maker rather early. b

but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat, as damaging to the democratic party. and the, and the democratic party mil. yeah, the democrats weaponized the me to movement, they used to devastating effect against red cavanaugh. it was a very powerful weapon that was brought to bear. and now it's been brought to bear on one of their own is acutely embarrassing to have cuomo, who was a cheerleader for the me to movement down to fall the him to the movement. and i think these, these, these accusations are backfiring, people are going to be very careful if for bring in charges like this again. and this whole episode leaves a very bad taste in everybody's mouth. it's been here to the day since the sputnik ve. coby vaccine was registered here in russia since then. almost 70 countries have adopted the job and that left continues to grow. ready but despite its proven track record and the ongoing threat of new overland to cover, all of our restraints split

but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat, as damaging to the democratic party. and the, and the democratic party mil. yeah, the democrats weaponized the me to movement, they used to devastating effect against red cavanaugh. it was a very powerful weapon that was brought to bear. and now it's been brought to bear on one of their own is acutely embarrassing to have cuomo, who was a cheerleader for the me to movement down to fall him to the movement. so the scandalous running chromos harassment case can even bigger after group fighting sex abuse got involved and not on the side. you might expect the leader, the charity times up does not reside after coming other 5, her ties to the new york government. you deserve more than just the you are showing other that no one has the right to strip your voice. no matter how known and powerful they are. the charities for victims of sexual harassment slocum big, no woman should be silenced regardless of how p

. >> reporter: the team, assembled by new york state attorney general leticia james, spoke to 179 people over five months, collecting 74,000 pieces of evidence. today, they accused the governor of violating state and federal laws, presenting their findings in stark detail. >> in the executive mansion, the governor hugged executive assistant number one and reached under her blouse to grab her breast. this was the culmination of a pattern of inappropriate sexual conduct, including numerous close and intimate hugs where the governor held her so closely that her breasts were pressed against his body. >> reporter: investigators say a state trooper, a member of cuomo's own security detail, described a pattern of harassment. >> in an elevator, while standing behind the trooper, he ran his finger from her neck down her spine and said, "hey you." another time, she was standing holding the door open for the governor. as he passed, he took his open hand and ran it across her stomach from her bellybutton to the hip where she keeps her gun. she told us she felt completely violated. >> reporter: and i

but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat. it seems like the fallout from the new level of awareness spawned by the me to hash tag campaign on social media is continuing with andrew cuomo who has been governor of new york since 2011, being forced to resign to discuss the issue where joined a live now by a journalist and author, daniel lazar, thanks for being with us here in our international. thank you. so, cuomo was defiant during his resignation. speech though, he supported me to movement when it as to the other alleged sex, passed without trial a taste of his own medicine maybe. oh, unquestionably. yes. i mean that the democrats flocked to the me to banner. they supported all the way they play down fears of you know, of lynch mob, justice they, they said that women should be believed that they should be taken at their word regardless of you now without any indication of a need for corroborating evidence. so yes, so andrew cuomo was that very

but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general leticia james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat. the scandal surrounding chrome was harassment case can even bigger after a group fighting sex abuse got involved, not the side. you might expect the leader of the times up charities, and i resigned them after coming up to 5 for her ties to the new york governor, her organization actually supports the victims of sexual harassment. you deserve more than just the you are showing others. no one has the right to strip your voice, no matter how known and powerful they are. support by the new york attorney general alleges the roberta captain helped review a letter by cuomo attacking in, diminishing the allegations of one of his victims. she later explained that the 2 jobs are incompatible with each other. i can offer the degree of transparency about my firms matters now being demanded. since that would be contrary to my responsibilities. as a lawyer, roberta captains mentioned in that report last sexual assau

and so what was kaplan's involvement report released by the new york attorney general leticia. james mentioned multiple times as somebody who allegedly tried to will help them editing . helped and drafting a letter by andrew cuomo, which was widely criticized for diminishing the claim of his victims and castigating them. that letter eventually published no, pardon, anyone agreed to find the letter. nevertheless, understandably, the victims of sexual abuse won't impress, given kaplan, the position and responsibility around 30 victims wrote an open letter calling on kat planned to resign for her involvement in this letter. which to describe as victim shaving and castigating, and cooling on her well, really saying a position was quite untenable. given these allegations, this is what she had to say in a resignation statement. i can't offer the degree of transparency about my firms matters now being demanded. since that would be contrary to my responsibilities as a lawyer is even more ironic given the capillaries actually be telling you representing elizabeth james carol. she's the right.

and quite frankly, i thought when i watched all the charges in leticia james's shock in the water, she's can face job bill was looking for a job. so the progressives are all over this right now. but when he's, when, when the investigator said that he sought retribution against women in the workplace, that came forward as whistleblowers. i said to my brother who is with me, that's it. grow, he's gone because whether it's harassment and i don't want to to people lose that jobs over allegations, there is due process in this country. but if you see gretch abuse against employees to tell the truth against government officials, then you're out the door and at the as me now they're just going to pile on and make sure his career is over. well, john, i don't know what the bad thing you hear about italians. all i hear that they're the best cooks ever and we can all go with worry. i got you the last 4, do you think this is the last? we're going to hear of andrew cuomo, the democrats want them to disappear because what this is exactly what they don't want to have out there in the public when we hear

leticia james announced the results of that investigation about an hour ago.ject we welcome tina davis, bloomberg's legal executive editor. thanks so much for jumping in. let's stick to the law. there will b

11 brave women, a report that was conducted independently by the office of the attorney general leticia jamese's sufficient evidence to proceed with impeachment proceeding. >> you share on twitter that you've experienced harassment in your chiareer. i'm curious what your reaction was when the governor played that picture montage. >> i do it with everyone, black and white, young and old, straight and lgbtq, powerful people, friends, strangers, people who i meet on the street. >> what did you think about that? >> first i want to give my full sympathy to all the victims who endured these egregious sp experiences and took a heroic step forward. as a survivor of sexual abuse, seeing that video and just thinking about what's going through the minds of these victims triggered an emotional disturbance. i felt it was a way to dismiss our suffering, our pain and to use it as a coverup to say i am not the person that these women have said i am. so it was quite disturbing. i did not feel that it was an apology or he was apologetic to any of stlthese victims. i think it was a way of him saying i am innoce

they'll have to go over attorney general leticia james' report, but members are not ready to go forward. before they draft articles of impeachment, they'll wait for a response from andrew cuomo regarding not only sexual harass mnlts, issues with nursing homes, his book, and the construction of the mario m. cuomo bridge. governor cuomo has until the 31st to respond. he has not been changed, denies any wrongdoing, and he says he will not resign. >>> melissa derosa was mentioned multiple times in the report alleging the governor had sexually harassed multiple women. she said the last few years have been emotional and trying and she thanks her colleagues. in a new quinnipiac university poll, 70% say it's time for cuomo to step down compared to 25% who say he should stay in office. even 57% democrats who elected him to the highest state in office three times say he should resign following the attorney general's report. >>> coming up, vaccines for educators. plus, will covid booster shots be needed, and if so, who's going to get them first? we'll have that when dr. patel joins us in a moment.

nassau and westchester counties have requested information from the new york attorney general leticia james' office saying criminal action could be on the way. district attorney david suarez is announcing he's already opened a criminal investigation into alleged behavior in the capitol. >> the allegations early on led myself and other prosecutors with current jurisdiction to believe that criminal activity had taken place. but we will conduct our own independent criminal investigation expeditiously. >> in addition, lawyer for cuomo's first public accuser lindsey boylan tells the "new york times" she plays to sue the governor and advisers for retaliatory actions taken when she came forward. will cuomo resign? rebecca traister, writer at "new york" magazine has been covering the saga, good to see you. city newspaper saying no longer a matter of if but when. political observers who have known cuomo for years. it's interesting, he's combative and said he would not resign, after the findings came out, pushed back hard. what do you think is happening here? >> well, i'll be very fascinated if his s

investigators deputized by new york attorney general leticia james found cuomo violated state and federal laws by sexually harassing employees and that his officer retaliated against at least one former employee for going public with her allegations. the report also found that cuomo and his aides fostered a toxic work culture cultivated by a climate of intimidation and fear. >> andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making comments. >> the pattern was not limited to members of his own staff, but extended to other state employees, including a state trooper who served on his protective detail. there are 11 complaintants whose allegations are set forth in great detail in the report. >> the governor hugged executive assistant number one and reached under her blouse to grab her breast. this was the culmination of a pattern of inappropriate sexual conduct including numerous close and intimate hugs. the governor also several times inappropriately touched a state trooper assigned to the unit to protect the

it was a stunning press conference today when democratic attorney general leticia james and the lawyers she hired to investigate sexual harassment charges against the governor revealed what they found, including accusations from a state trooper that have never been made public before. >> the governor also several times inappropriately touched a state trooper assigned to the unit to protect the governor. in an elevator while standing behind trooper he ran his finger from his neck down her spine and said, hey, you. another time she was standing holding the door open for the governor. as he passed, he took his open hand and ran it across her stomach from her belly button to where the hip where she keeps her gun. she told us that she felt completely violated to have the governor touch her as, as she put it, between her chest and her privates. >> that state trooper tied identified in the report as trooper number one described the governor's behavior as, quote, flirtatious and creepy. the attorney general's report says the governor asked her, why don't you wear a dress? trooper 1 replied it w

> 14 days from now, andrew cuomo will no longer be the governor of new york in the weeks since leticia jameseased her report detailing allegations against 11 women sexual harassment allegations against the governor made by 11 women. the message from democrats, from president biden and the entire new york congressional delegation and from a majority of state lawmakers was clear, resign or you will be impeached. jay jacobs told lawrence last week he called governor cuomo and delivered that message directly to him. >> i just stressed to the governor that i thought it was time for him to resign. i thought his legacy was too important to allow us to go through this protracted impeachment process, which i think would damage it. >> does governor cuomo have the same information about the vote counts? >> i've told him that. i was very direct with the governor as to where support was and that he didn't have the support anywhere that he needed it. i was very clear about that. >> that gentleman used to actually be a supporter of governor cuomo's. today governor cuomo denied the allegations against him.

leticia james reacting, quote, we must do all that we can to support the haitian people both in the immediate aftermath of this earthquake and in the months to come. my thoughts and prayers are with the people of haiti and here in new york. again, people in this haitian community here in new york say for the most part, everyone i've talked with, that they have been able to contact their relative, but their fear is what the destruction and the damage will look like in some of the areas. the prime minister there announcing that there will be a state of emergency in haiti for at least a month because of this earthquake. eric? eric: all right, alex, thanks so much. arthel: and, of course, we wish the best for the people of hay she under -- haiti, and this latest disaster comes as they are also bracing for tropical storm grace which is expected to hit the island on tuesday before florida later next week. meantime, the florida keys getting a lot of wet weather as tropical depression fred moves through. the storm could regain strength as it heads north towards the panhandle. fox weather meteorologis

elizabeth: i like your reaction to what the attorney general leticia james said today. >> these interviewsnd pieces of evidence reveal a deeply disturbing, yet clear picture. governor cuomo sexually harassed current and former state employees in violation of federal andti state law. elizabeth: what is your reaction. >> power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and he's been there a long time and he's acted with impunity and i think it's finally catching up with him. just because you say something is unlawful does not mean that is criminal, his vulnerability is at the statene level but he seems very vulnerable. we have seen a trend in recent years as politicians doubling down it happened in virginia a few years ago were several state officials were accused of bad things and they have been hunkering down andan hanging in and iju don't think he's going o be able to. elizabeth: we hear you loud and clear let's listen to the investigator and the attorney who worked on this probe describe what the victims allegedly went through i would like your reaction to the soundbite, watch the.

the investigation released by leticia james found 11 women were telling the truth when they said theuched them inappropriately. cuomo denied the allegations in a taped statement. one of the victims named charlotte bennett told investigators cuomo came on to her after she disclosed a previous sexual assault. she spoke to george stephanopoulos about cuomo speaking to her directly in his statement saying bennett and her attorney heard things he did not say. >> it wasn't an apology and he didn't take accountability for his actions. he can't once apologize and say he didn't do anything wrong. he blamed me and said that i simply misinterpreted what he had said, but his line of questioning was not appropriate. he was coming on to me and he insinuated that survivors of trauma and sexual assault can't tell the difference between mentorship and leadership. and sexual harassment itself, which is not only insulting to me but every survivor who listened to him yesterday. >> you can see george stephanopoulos' entire interview with charlotte bennett coming up at 7:00 a.m., which includes bennett ca

and the other thing that's important is that he can point at leticia james and say your report's biasedwant my job. that's a lot harder to say in this context when it's just one accuser who doesn't want to be governor. so, yeah, not a good development for the governor. david: well, if he gets off without full impeachment, nobody -- a lot of people will simply not accept that. a lot of people from the democratic side, of course, the republicans as well. david, great to see you. thank you for coming in today. david marcus9 from the new york post. good to see you, my friend. >>> well, one republican senator on why he is refusing to sign off on the infrastructure plan. that's coming next. ♪ ♪ (judith) in this market, you'll find fisher investments is different than other money managers.

it is not just because of leticia james attorney general report on 11 and counting incidents of sexualo deal with impeachment astonishing how horrible all liberals are at jobs inability to stand up for women, and our dead elderly in new york state. >> cuomo's legal team came out swinged over the weekend liz they came up with lots of technical reasons, why they need more time. the governor wants time. >> [laughter], this is over -- he will boe lucky if he doesn't get time maria, or serve time. this has gone on too long dagen is right, by the way, no one talks about this but the government of new york state is at a standstill nothing is getting done. the office of the governor is in total chaos, by the way, has been the case for months and months no appointments being made, no issues, being resolved, et cetera, people deserve better the idea would not run again a trade is completely idiotic who is going to vote for governor cuomo he lost all credibility, and i think when you when you govern as a tyrant as a bully you have no friends, and i think that is really what is at the end of the d

important as well as for the accountabilit y that many are calling for , and the attorney general leticia jamesof new york but it's an important step towards justice, i thank governor cuomo for his contributions to our state. lt. governor kathy hochul whose been in that position since 201e buffalo area, served as a clerk in erie county, she is, you know, somebody whose a part of a lot of the regional economic development councils and took pride in visiting all 62 counties in this state, will now become the first woman, first female governor of new york, after governor cuomo's resignation becomes final, two weeks from now and one other note. andrea stuart cousins who have the senator, will now become the lt. governor, meaning the two highest positions in new york will now be run by women. neil? neil: you know what's kind of interesting that one senator i believe senator who had said, brian, that you know, once a governor resigns, you can't go after the impeachment proceedings against the former governor, well that didn't stop democrats in the house and later the senate from pursuing donald trump

findings, do you anticipate the governor will face impeachment or even civil or criminal charges, leticia james is expecting. >> yeah, it will be interesting my clients are very hopeful based on reactions yesterday, to the ag report i think the -- the wonderful thing about the report is not just that they took these 11 women's allegations very seriously but they followed the evidence, and really thoroughly vetted it, it wasn't just speaking to 11 pim it was speaking to hundreds of witnesses you thousands pages of documents my clients proned have told them about witnesses, give a emails text all those things that corroborated what they said, so, what i think has to be done now people who are responsible including voters have to care neil at evidence lead where it should there should be repercussions for him, whether impeachment remains in scene yesterday assembly speaker -- that impeachment predicting will proceed quickly i i believe it appears at this point that will be on the horizon, of course, if governor cuomo were to actually take responsibility he could resign which is what he really shou

if leticia james thinks she has cases, get indictments against him and if the democrats in the legislaturehink this is a serious charge, let them impeach and convict him instead of trying to force him out. i would not be surprised if he won reelection next year. host: again, your thoughts on governor cuomo, the allegations against him and the report yesterday, should the governor resign? (202) 748-8000 if you say yes. (202) 748-8001 if you say no. for those of you who are new york state residents, the line is (202) 748-8002. this is the reporting of fox news about cnn and their headline "don lemon awkwardly addresses cuomo scandal immediately after friendly handoff with governor's brother." critics call the moment journalistic whiplash. john is in california. john says no, do not resign. good morning. caller: no, i don't think he should resign. the legislature should take up the issue and either impeach him or not. president biden does not run new york. he is only one man and only one vote. if he is guilty of these things he ought to be indicted. one other thing, you let that lady go on ab

apparently, the four d.a.s in each of those counties have reached out to the attorney general, leticia jamesa new york state senator, and he says there's no one who supports him in the assembly. listen. >> it's a national embarrassment. the governor must go. i think the assembly has enough information to act on the attorney general's report, bring those articles of impeachment to the senate as soon as possible. this is not political, as the governor would argue. this, if anything, is the apolitical act i've witnessed in all of my time in albany. there is virtually no support in the state legislature for governor andrew cuomo. and when i say no, i mean. i don't know of a single legislator who has spoken up in support of governor cuomo. brian: they were trying to defame the accusers. everything that he ridiculed people for put in place, new york had the zero tolerance, the strict rules and, by the way, they were going after lindsey -- lindsay boylan? is he's running as a democrat and she had interactions with him, she wanted to work for the office. rl it was all a strategy coming from the gove

there's a lot of respect for the attorney general, leticia james, a lot of step for karl hasty and andreamb. >> jonathan lemire, i don't know that i've ever seen a politician so completely isolated from members even of his own party. we get so used to republicans defending donald trump no matter what he did, whether he was using his position to try to bribe a foreign leader with defense money to dig up dirt on his political opponent or pressure his attorney general to arrest his political opponent two weeks before a campaign, i mean, even after 1/6 you have republicans that just -- they're still defending donald trump. here, there are no democratic defenders, it seems, of andrew cuomo. the president of the united states, the speaker of the house, the senate majority leader, his two senate -- his two senators from the state of new york, the assembly leader, andrew cuomo is surrounded. i don't know how this is even remotely survivable for him. >> he's more or less completely alone at this point. within new york state, a lot of the unions that backed him in his runs yesterday pulled their su

2022 and remember the favorite in many circles be the new york attorney general law enforcement leticia jameso remove him was because she wanted his job. i'm not 100% sure, no one knows what's going to happen going forward but i'd be stunned if this is the last time we ever see andrew cuomo run for a political office. brian: hillary clinton thinking about running, alveda sharpton, and the only other thing bad about cuomo is he was a bad governor. he's got a terrible track record who al pacino thought was cool, all celebrities kind of like him but he's a terrible governor. >> i don't think there's any doubt. joe biden yesterday tried to pretend that 10.5 years was a success. when you go out this way, as you guys said, thousands and thousands of people dead in nursing homes because of your failure and also, all of this sexual harassment i think you could make a strong argument that not only is andrew cuomo a bad governor, he maybe a criminal governor and also the worst elected official of the 21st century it's impossible for anyone, i believe, to have done a worse job contrary to what joe biden

investigation is some sort of a political bias or political attack by the new york attorney general leticia skrams -- james as somebody who's going to run for his office or seat has fallen on flat ears. she made it apolitical yesterday at her press conference. the two independent investigators are two people that are probably completely beyond reproach. on top of that, the governor attacked this as some sort of an attempt to get him out of office, as i said, but we have to remember that the governor's own senior counsel called for this investigation. governor cuomo welcomed the investigation. the fact that we have a public report that we're discussing and dissecting is a product of the governor's office. an independent investigation like this, the governor's office actually gets briefed on a weekly basis but because the governor's conduct is the one in question here, they said you know what, no need to do that, you file a public report at the end of this, and this is something that the governor wanted. at every opportunity that he has tried to fire salvos of this investigation or this idea of sexual harass
