mr. cuomos after his son, andrew was sworn in to a second term as new york governor. >> what a life his parents came from italy with no money. they could not read or speak english. ran a grocery store. mario, you can see him right there, he was an athlete. he played minor league baseball. but it wasn't his physical strength it was his words and how he spoke them that electrified democrats. the keynote at the 1984 democratic national convention. remembered by many as one of the most powerful speeches of a generation. he liked to say you campaign in poetry you govern in prose. he knew how to do both. >> tributes are pouring in from all sides of the political world.

what is mr. cuomo being most remembered for this morning?he was a three term governor first elected in 1982. a proud progressive at a time when ronald reagan was president and trickle down economics was the theory of the day the idea if you gave tax breaks to the wealthy and big businesses that the entire economy would benefit. cuomo pushed back at that and jumped on to the national stage in 1984 at the democratic national convention, electrifying and audience that at the time was really looking for a leader. >> a shining city is perhaps all the presidencies from the portico of the white house and veranda of his ranch where everyone seems to be doing well, but there's another city. there's another part to the shining city, the part where some people can't pay their mortgages, and most young people can't afford one. >> cuomo supported civil rights. he was pro-choice, despite his strong catholic faith a faith that led him to be against the death penalty something also very significant especially in the big state of new york. >> the highest off

"the new york times" also reported today that before mr. cuomoovernor disbanded the anti-corruption panel that sought to investigate the outside income of lawmakers including mr. silver sued to block that inquiry. the sudden closing led to a criminal investigation and the circumstances of the shutdown by his office which took over the commission's cases and promised to continue its worth. the case against mr. silver xwan began in june of 2014 and was aided by the commission work. we have that wrinkle there, the shot at the governor. >> this is marvelous because sheldon silver and the other leaders of the legislature wanted this commission shut down. why? >> this. >> because it was looking at this very issue of outside income. why did cuomo shut it down? so he could cut a deal with him to get help on his legislative proposals. >> good government. >> but he shut down this corruption deal and now the u.s. attorney -- >> okay. >> it's bad for cuomo. >> i have one theory about politicians. it's always worse than it looks. because if it's better they'l

mr. cuomo colleagues on both sides of the aisle of a man of conscience and eloquence steered by his roots and strong catholic faith. kauld politics and ugly business he turned down runs for president in 1998 and 1992. he delivered a fiery keynote address at the democratic national convention in san francisco. here's one moment from that address that perhaps best sums up his personal and his political philosophy. >> we believe as democrats that a society is blessed as ours the most affluent democracy in the world's history, one that can spend millions on defense and be able to find work for those who can do it care for the elderly and hope for the destitute. >> there are words that continue to resonate in today's political debate as they did 30 years ago. just hours before his death, mario cuomo's son, andrew was sworn in for his second term as new york governor. mayor cuomo was 82 and our thoughts and prayers with our friend and colleague chris cuomo on his loss. thank you. "ac360" starts right

the times says mr. cuomo seemed to disdain politics even as he embraced it.at an ugly business it is, he liked to say,y et he revelled in it sometimes a ruthless one, and blake, you were writing about. >> he was aware. if you look at him, he was never meant to be a politics. it was not his design. a lot of these politicians, you can see them growing up they're plotting their little chess match. he was a land use lawyer and almost got drafted into politics. when he was in the later years of his life and i was working on a campaign in 2001, the may mayoral candidates they wanted his endorsement. when he was asked on the campaign trail why you haven't endorsed anyone cuomo essentially disassembled said and said no one has asked me. it wasn't true we were asking him very much so ultimately what he was doing is holding out until he got the best deal for his son andrew. he was running for governor the next year too, but the lessons that i learned from that is cuomo was actually quite a good player of it. and a devoted family man. >> and he didn't want to give the a

cheryl: i think times were a little more tense for mr. cuomo he was tackling a much larger issue than our current mayor is tackling when you have millionaires and billionaires returning around in new york city paying taxes. cuomo didn't have all those luxuries back in the 80s. david: could it be that cuomo was a man before his time? his message, john and i think it was wrong, but would it have resonated better in the obama era? >> i think so. even looking forward to 2016 we have elizabeth warren who could be potential challenger to hillary clinton. to be honest i see cuomo as even more centrist than this incredibly leftist wing of the party we see in the form of de blasio. and mario's son, andrew, the current governor, he is being a check on de blasio. it is all sort of jumbled at this point. david: all right. let's move on to the second subject. rest in peace, mario. chris cuomo used to work here. a wonderful, wonderful guy. will that slow down the economy? talk about what kicks in. new employment mandates. fines will be tripled. we have a who

why he did that last week the feds arrested the most powerful politician in new york state besides mr. cuomoof the new york state assembly indicted on massive corruption charges may be forced to give up speaker position. probably will go to jail. silver says he is not guilty but this is amazing story of alleged corruption. here now to tell us more about it it the anchor of the kelly file miss megan. what's the worst thing silver allegedly did. >> kick backs of $4 million. state grants, for example he says he has no relationship with one doctor who refers as bestos patients to a law firm that sheldon silver happens to be a partner at. he doesn't have to show up to work at said law firm according to the complaint. instead, he just says to the doctor, please send all the sick asbestos patients to that law firm and then the law firm allegedly gives sheldon silver millions of dollars and then sheldon silver takes $500,000 worth of taxpayer money and say hey, doctor use this for research it's out of the goodness of our heart. >> these are allegations he denies. >> sheldon, looks like the guy who s

mr. cuomo never explained why he shut it down. it is an embarrassment that will follow him forever. attorney general eric holder is to be commended. let me repeat that holder is to be commended for allowing the u.s. attorney in new york to pursue silver. >> over his decades in office speaker silver has amassed titanic political power but as alleged during that same time silver also amassed a tremendous personal fortune through the abuse of that political power. >> now, it took decades to get sheldon silver. talking points believes he will be convicted because this man has done more to harm new york state than any other human being alive. hey shellie, it's karma. get it bud? and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. more details on the two situations race and corruption. with us attorneys and fox news analysts kimberly guilfoyle and lis wiehl. are you surprised that the justice department is not bringing any charges? >> absolutely not there was no evidence. when you looked at the evidence the grand jury got, you had eyewi
