and so if these women are saying madison cawthorn is a predator, madison cawthorn doesn't respect boundariesprobably truly egregious. >> you know, we reached out to kevin mccarthy, leader mccarthy's office, and got nothing back. there's no comment. it seems like that is the pattern where people just go, i didn't see the tweets. i didn't hear when he called that woman ugly or said i couldn't have raped her because that wasn't my type. it is just very different. what do you make of the cultural issue here? it feels like cuomo's attempts to run for president, which was what we all felt was coming, that's kind of done, right, on his side. but, you know, two out of the six republican conservatives on the supreme court have these kind of allegations. that didn't stop them. it seems like cawthorn could have a clear path to that or whatever else he wanted. it doesn't seem like his political future is impinged at all. >> well, again, i understand that's really frustrating for democrats, but i don't think that they should -- that democrats should see sort of policing their own as like a sacrifice that

madison cawthorn, the young new member from north carolina, among others. of us who have been scrambling to try to find vaccines for our families, this is a little bit of a head-scratcher. what is the plan? is there a plan to get everyone vaccinated so that the house can actually go back to conducting business? >> you know, kasie, that's a good question. i mean, i think it's a mix here, right? i think there are some members of congress who have suggested they're not going to get vaccines until they're widely available to their constituents, which is a fine position to have. but we're at the point, kasie, as we all know, that most americans are going to be able to get this vaccine in the next, you know, couple weeks, five, six, seven weeks. so, if congress is going to get back to business, get back to normal, get back to a place where they can be voting together instead of over a two or three-hour period, people need to get vaccinated as soon as possible. and i just think that, you know, it's not very difficult for members to get vaccinated. they could get a

it's madison cawthorn. it's basically people who -- it's government by trolling. it's people who kind of have communication staffs rather than policy staffs. and the thing is, though, none of this would work if you -- if this was a party that needed a majority of votes to govern. but that's why i think it's so important that you look at the voter suppression piece of this. >> yeah. >> as the other side of this story because their plan to retake power is not just culture war. it's culture war plus perpetual minority rule, you know, that is already, you know, somewhat baked into the structure of our government but really exacerbated by gerrymandering and this, you know, ferocious campaign against voting rights, which is like nothing we've seen since the end of reconstruction. >> right. and that is why, fernand, my question becomes where that all leaves democrats. if you have some culture war that is signaling, they for now seem to be ignoring that and choosing instead to focus on legislating. you have this piece of the culture war that you and i think i know is part

why is there a silence about madison cawthorn's accusers right now, but only governor cuomo is beingat or republican. >> john: leslie, is that due process there and i told the producers we were going to use this but we are. in an article in the "new yorker" magazine, is what cuomo said at the time. my personal opinion is given the pattern of facts and corroboration i do not believe it is possible for eric schneiderman to continue to serve as attorney general and for the good of the office, he should resign. there was no due process that the governor was supporting there and yet he wants it himself. >> john, these cuomo coverups may well end up with not only andrew cuomo in jail but also potentially as an accomplice, his brother chris cuomo. will an investigation showed that all the times chris cuomo had his brother andrew on to talk about the great job he was doing with the nursing home, it was actually part of the project to cover up what was really going on. we will have to find that out. just as we now have learned that it was during the cuomo administration that the mario cuomo b

i want to ask you, if democrats want republicans like donald trump and congressman madison c cawthorneeye to what's going on with cuomo? >> it's a serious question. the party is divided on what they want to do. for all the people who say we're pushing people out too quickly, which is not that true. there's really been a handful of high-profile democratic politician whose have lost their job in this me too era, there's a number of people in the party who say this is what the party needs to stand for, that democrats need to stand for no tolerance policy when it comes to issues of sexual harassment. it's really a difficult situation because in fact in politics there really aren't the structures to adjudicate claims like this, and claims in every professional area tend to be clouded with a lot of gray areas. there's no framework for politicians of either party to figure out what you do when prominent politicians are accused of these kinds of charges. >> right. last i checked, i don't think there was a sort of partisan out, get out of jail free card for me too allegations. lisa with "the ne

jackie: joining me now to discuss it, north carolina congressman madison cawthorn. good morning to you. >> great to see you as well. thanks for having me. jackie: i think the senator set it up pretty well there, recapping what the biden administration has done here and we are in a state of crisis right now, which the administration essentially refuses to acknowledge. president biden saying don't come isn't really enough to halt what's going on at the border and there's massive, massive problems down there. your thoughts on where this goes from here and how we can possibly try to gain -- regain some control? >> well, jackie, you're absolutely right to call it a crisis, although joe biden would say there's just a minor situation going on at the border. although his administration has dispatched fema down to the border because it is such an emergency. barack obama himself said that if we had just 1,000 migrants crossing the border every day, that it would be a national emergency. jackie, right now it's estimated there's over 6,000 illegal immigrants crossing our border
