WEBVTT - Cancel Control Continues 0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:03.400 All right, Happy Friday. Glad you're with us? Right down 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:05.640 our toll free telephone number. You want to be a 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.200 part of the program. Thanks Scott Shann at eight hundred 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.120 and nine four one, Sean if you want to join us. Well, 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.520 I don't know what's gonna happen here. Joe Biden's gonna 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:20.840 have to go after a Democratic governor who's gone all Neanderthal, because, 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:26.400 according to the Harvard Current, the Governor Ned Lamont announced 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.560 yesterday I didn't see this yesterday that he will now 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.760 roll back COVID related restrictions in Connecticut's starting on March 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:41.199 to the nineteenth, including allowing restaurants to operate at full capacity, 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.920 loosening rules on sports and entertainment venues, and lifting the 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:52.560 state's travel ban. Unbelieve, Connecticut's new plan defies quote guidance 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.200 from the director of the US Center for Disease Control 0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:00.680 and Prevention, who recommended earlier this week that states slowly 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:04.679 in reopening. How come Florida can stay open? They have 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:10.520 the highest percentage of elderly population. And from day one 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:16.679 that was mission one for the for Rhonda Santis. He 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:22.800 literally mobilized every state government agency in Florida to protect 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.880 the elderly, you know, like people that live at America's 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.160 friendly his hometown, the villages, and they have a very 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:37.360 high percentage of older Americans that retire in the Great 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.040 State of Florida because of the weather and the sunshine 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.640 and the lifestyle. It's a lot better and you don't 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:49.040 pay state income taxes. It is unbelievable to me that 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.840 you know. Look, and let me be clear here now, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.520 if you're going to run into older people, in other words, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.280 those that are susceptible to the most problems related to COVID, 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.640 you have you know, be responsible, wear your masks, socially 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.560 distant if you're an older person, and yourself if you 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:18.400 have an underlying condition, if you have a comorbidity, if 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.000 you have a compromised immune system, work with your doctor. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.560 I strongly recommend considering the vaccine. I'm not going to 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.440 tell people how to live their lives. That's going to 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.040 be between you and your doctor. You're gonna have to 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.680 make those decisions together. But at least we can still 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.400 we're at the end of the road here, you know, Joe. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.079 We're gonna have three hundred Americans vaccinated over the summer, 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.400 three hundred says it twice in one's beach. Okay, but Annity, 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.720 how dare you say he looks weak and he's frail 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.359 and he's cognitively struggling. You know, last night on TV 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.120 I actually showed Joe Biden debating Paul I think it 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.160 was Paul Ryan in twenty twelve, and then Joe Biden 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:04.119 in twenty twenty sixteen. Before he left office to today, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.799 he sent me two letters saying, by the way, can 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.200 you send me some stimulus money for companies here in 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.840 the state of Wisconsin. We sent millions of dollars. Play 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.160 the radio, make sure the television. Excuse me, make sure 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.160 you have a record player on at night, the phone, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.560 make sure the kids hear in words. Now they got 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.680 a new plan. Trust me, it's not gonna cost you anymore. Folks, 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.840 follow your instincts on this one. We hold these truths 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.600 to be self evident. All men and women creatively go. 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.280 You know that, you know the thing they put one 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.360 foot in front of the other, they keep going. That's 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.160 the unbreakable spirit of the people of America. That's who 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:55.080 we are. And Representatives Shirley Jackson, Lee al Green, Sylvia 0:03:55.160 --> 0:04:02.000 Garcia Lizzie Pinelli, excuse me, Chanel, and what am I 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.080 doing here? I'm gonna lose track here. It's bad. Sorry, 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.119 it's bad. I don't know what's going on, but it's 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.680 it's getting it's getting real. And you know, the foreign 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:20.280 press either they're all radicals like Hannity, or they see 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:25.440 what I see. Now, here's the other thing. Hostile regimes, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.920 you know, run by hostile actors. Oh, I can run 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:34.960 off the names of a few Putin Russia, President Chi China, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:41.960 Mullah's Iran, Kim Jong un North Korea. They're they're watching also, 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.520 so little you know who is making the decisions here? Okay, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:53.120 I can take some questions now that annoying bars and 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.960 tone sound that's not we can't have that. I don't know. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.039 And then now we got this disaster, unmitigated disaster of 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.159 two trillion dollars. Look, in thirty three years, I have 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:10.880 talked a lot about waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, high taxes, 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:15.800 government overreach, government bureaucracy. I've seen I've seen more money 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.800 wasted than you could shake a stick out they used 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.920 to have. I've used to run through the list of waste, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.960 fraud and abuse and money's going to study the mating 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.560 habits of the Japanese quail or something insane, things like 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.599 that National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities. This one 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.880 point nine trillion dollars COVID bill, Well, the only way 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.800 to improve it, as Senator Kennedy Louisiana just said, is 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.839 with a shredder. That's the only way you can improve it. 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.760 It's useless, and it is only nine percent six hundred 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:55.680 and what twenty eight page liberals Socialist Democratic wish list, 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.640 and they're ramming it through the Senate. It'll be a 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.880 fifth fifty tie Kamala Harris breaking the tie vote. If 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.159 unless Murkowski or Ben Sas the Jackass or Mitt Romney 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.560 go the other way. You got literally billions and billions 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:18.359 of dollars to ball out big blue states with high 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.880 taxes that never balance their budget, live within their means, 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.919 or fund their pensions. And the people that are going 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.799 to be paying for it are the people that elect 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:33.960 responsible governors, responsible red state legislatures that you know, balance 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.479 their budgets, fund their pensions. They're gonna be stuck footing 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.760 that bill. New York Bingo. They're gonna get at least 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:46.080 fifty billion dollars fifty billion. There's one hundred and thirty 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.680 billion in this for school funding. I didn't find out 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.159 till last night. I've been telling you that some of 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.280 these moneys for emergency COVID relief aren't going to be 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:58.159 spent til twenty twenty two, and then twenty twenty four. No, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:02.000 it stretches out to twenty twenty eight. They're figuring they 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.880 could do. They want to grab every single dime they can. 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.640 Now when they can get away with it, you get 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:13.680 to use the reconciliation process to circumvent the legislative filibuster, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.440 meaning you need a sixty vote margin only once. This 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.080 is how they passed Obamacare. Remember Scott Brown was going 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.680 to be the fifty first vote against Obamacare. Now they 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.840 got it a billion dollars. Okay, So there is some 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.160 stuff for vaccine confidence activities, whatever that means. They're giving 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.160 money for COBRA payments for illegal immigrants. In this bill. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.600 They're giving literally hundreds and hundreds of millions and billions 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.360 of dollars to foreign countries healthcare plans. I'm like, this 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:50.280 is madness. We cannot afford this, this is insanity. And 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.360 then on top of it, then we got the madness 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.440 known as HR one. Now they're gonna have a harder 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.880 time with that, assuming Joe Mansion and Senator Cinema of 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.840 Arizona hold the line and don't go along with ending 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.880 the legislative filibuster. But I thought that Mansion in particular said, 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.520 you know, g D whatever you know for crying out loud, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.680 what part of no, I'm not ending the legislative filibuster. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.040 Don't you understand like he's getting pissed off, you know, 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.200 getting the question thrown at him at this point, which 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.120 is not bad. That's a good thing for everybody. I'll 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.960 tell you. This thing at the border is getting really 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.680 bad too. Now we've got immigrants that are testing positive 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.240 for COVID. Now we showed video of detention centers this 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.160 week on Hannity, exclusive footage. Not only have kids in 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.760 these tents with foil blankets. Whoever heard of a foil blanket? 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.480 I mean, it's insanity. They won't let anybody see the 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.800 cargo shipping containers that they're putting these kids in. Can't 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.160 see no cameras a lot, But we're told there are 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.040 butterflies in there. They have tiny windows, these shipping containers 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:00.480 and they have bars on the windows. And I can't imagine, 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.959 even with butterflies on the walls, that these things are 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.920 any good. But now we've got a health crisis at 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.320 the border. Now they're literally moving people to other states. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.760 State governors are having a fit over this, as they 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.400 rightly should. One House Democrats sounding the alarm. Ten thousand 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.480 illegal immigrants are now entering Texas every week. We had 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.600 Governor Abbitt on Hannity last night. Under Biden's open border policy, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.200 ten thousand illegal immigrants a week. A lot of these 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.760 are our kids. Now, what we ought to be doing 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.880 is saying stopping them at the border, health checking them, 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.400 to protect our personnel down at the border and ice 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.920 and border security agents. And then we ought to be 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.680 saying where you're from, Okay, here's a bus, get on 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.760 the bus and go home. We'll take you home. But 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.360 we don't do that. That's what they do in Australia, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.400 that you know that you can't even reach the mainland. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.840 And if you're ill, they'll take care of you. They'll 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.160 get they'll nurse you back to good health. They'll give 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.880 you enough food and enough water to make the journey home. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.760 But you're not getting an illegally. And you know, we 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.240 do have people that still hate America, people that are 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.280 still involved with radical extremism, that want to bring harm 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.040 to American towns and cities. And I think COVID ought 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.200 to teach us that maybe we ought to think about 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.920 health checks for anybody entering the country. There's no social 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.600 distancing in the videos we showed you last night. There's 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.880 no mask wearing of any of the videos of the 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.360 migrant families that are coming across. And Henry Quay are 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.000 the congressional district is near the US Mexico border. He 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.440 warned a ten illegal immigrants apprehended in a single border 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.640 sector in Texas in one week, where weeks, maybe days 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.079 away from a crisis on the southern border. Well, that's 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.520 the opposite of what Biden is saying, in the opposite 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:54.400 of what the Director of Homeland Security is saying. The President, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.440 President Trump and exile to quote Acosta, our borders totally 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.880 out of control thanks to the disaster as quote leadership 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.240 of Joe Biden. Our great border patrol ice agents have 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.520 been disrespected, to mean mocked by the Biden administration. A 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.960 mass incursion into the country by people who should not 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.120 be here is happening on an hourly basis and getting 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.600 worse by the minute. Many of criminal records, many others 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.000 are here spreading COVID, which they've even had to confirm. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.520 Interior Enforcement has been shut down. They've now instituted catch 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.680 and release again. As a side note, ICE officers are 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.200 desperate to remove convicted criminals, and Biden won't even let 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.920 him do that. The spiraling tsunami at the border is 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:44.679 overwhelming local communities, depleting budgets, crowding hospitals, taking jobs from 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.720 legal American workers. And when I left office, we'd achieved 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.319 the most secure border in our country's history. Under Biden, 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.040 it'll soon be worse, more dangerous, more out of control 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.319 than ever. And he said he's violated his oath of 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.240 office to uphold the constitution and enforce the laws. Well, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.679 he's not enforcing the law. He's bypassing the law. It's 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.040 like he's bypassing an entire coequal branch of government with 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.240 the stroke of a pen, with every executive order that 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.240 he signs. Unbelievable. Now, we'll see what happens. It's not 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.720 going to work out, well, just not. But this is 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.680 what's happening. Biden administration looking for more ways to release 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.760 migrant parents and children into other states, moving them to 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:32.160 other states. We reported last night migrant children see Biden 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.760 stop on deportations as an invitation. They're wearing Biden shirts. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:41.000 Let us in Border Patrol Council. The crisis has spread 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.960 from Rio grand straight through to San Diego. Three months 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.560 a peak border crossing to go. Greyhound CEO says migrants 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.280 need to show proof that they're not COVID positive before 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:57.400 boarding our buses. We had Governor Abbot saying Biden is 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:02.920 not just endangering Texans, he's injuring all Americans. We can't 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.800 get to see anything. Montana Governor slammed by everybody. Meth. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.840 This is where meth's where. Ninety percent of the heroin 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.640 in this country comes from our southern border and fentanol. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.640 On top of it, losing three hundred people a week 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.200 in this country because of opioid addiction.

Get your dose of independence 0:14:41.200 --> 0:15:00.120 and liberty every weekday right here with Sean Sean Hannity. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.200 I mean, I'm looking at this today. The Supreme Court 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:16.720 has now dismissed a number of cases testing the Trump 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:21.200 administration's planned to withhold law enforcement grants from cities that 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:25.040 refused to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security efforts to 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:28.480 deport non citizens arrested by local police, in other words, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:33.160 sanctuary cities. So now the Supreme Court has dropped those 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:38.680 cases at the request of Biden's Department of Justice. The 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.760 Court had yet to decide whether it would hear the cases, 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:46.160 but they acted shortly after the Biden administration. State and 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.960 city governments New York and California all asked the justices 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:55.800 to dismiss depending appeals. Yet lower courts in New York 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:01.960 San Francisco shockingly reaching varying conclusions. Is about the Department 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.080 of Justice's authority to withhold funds to Congress that authorize 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.560 that it authorized to assist local police departments. I mean, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.840 that just takes the whole issue of I mean, think 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.480 about this. I thought aiding and abetting in a criminal 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.840 activity was a crime. If you're in this country illegally 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.520 and you end up in the justice system, and you 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:30.480 have local states California a sanctuary state, or cities sanctuary 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.600 cities that refuse even when people have served time in 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.720 jail illegal immigrants and they are released, they don't turn 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:45.800 them over as the law requires to ice to be deported. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.480 They don't allow that. Well, then what happens in the 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.160 case of like oh, Kate Steinley for example, or any 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.440 of these other high profile cases. And that is only 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.480 the tip of the iceberg we've interview. You'd enough families 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.919 that have lost loved ones because of sanctuary city and 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.200 state status of individuals that we had arrested that we're 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.960 even incarcerated then are then protected by the state, by 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.600 the city, and not handed over to the proper authorities 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.360 as the law would otherwise require them to do. Now, 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.440 if you did it as a conservative, if you've spent 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.840 on the sidewalk or your jaywalk, expect to go to 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:56.760 jail for ten years. It's unbelievable. Continuing to build a 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.520 foundation for conservative victory. Victory. Now back to the Sean 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:06.240 Hannity Show. All right, thanks Scott, shouting twenty five to 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.880 the top of the hour, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:10.600 you want to be a part of the program. I mean, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.240 the walls are beginning to cave in on New York 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:18.480 Governor Andrew Cuomo. And here's the fascinating aspect of this. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.520 And I think I have figured out in my conservative 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.240 brain why this is happening the way it's happening. Not 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.960 that hard to figure out. Actually, when Ron Kim state 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.960 representative talked about the threats the bullying of Cuomo and 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:35.920 then I think it was The New York Times, he 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.600 had a reporter say, Yeah, that happened to me too, 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.680 because I'm watching this convergence of events unfold. And you've 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.320 got the New York Times as liberal left wing as 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:53.480 they are going after Cuomo as hard now as they've 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.000 decided to go after him. And then you have even 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:01.200 the New York Senate majority leader Demo krat Andreas Stuart 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:05.240 Cousins saying, well, Cuomo shouldn't resign unless a fourth accuser 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.600 comes forward, which, by the way, that in and of itself, 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.800 that statement is like, huh oh, So there's a magic number. 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.520 If you get the four accusations, that's the tipping point, 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.600 that's the straw that breaks the camel's back. But the 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.440 other three you can get away with three, but not 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:25.040 four accusations. Now, again, I'm somebody that believes due process, 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.159 presumption of innocence. You know, it's fascinating that the I 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.280 Believer caucus, I don't hear anybody saying I believe these 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.600 women the way they did in the Kavanaugh case. These 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.600 are serious. We most investigate, that's all I hear. We've 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.560 got to have due process. They all sound like me, 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.960 except I do it whether it's a Republican or Democrat, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.000 and I'm intellectually honest and consistent something the mob and 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.920 the media is not in something that Democrats are not. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.440 And it's now happening in two different ways. I saw 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:56.639 this late last night. We actually ended up getting it 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.760 into Hannity, the TV show, because it broke just beforehand. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.760 We're almost within like minutes of each other, at least 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.960 me finding it. The Wall Street Journal and The New 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:11.280 York Times, both of them and the AP two come 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:16.159 up with stories about how Cuomo's health Department confirm reports 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.680 that members of the COVID nineteen task force in New 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:26.560 York literally purposely altered a state health Department report in 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:33.000 June to specifically omit the full number of nursing home 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.000 patients killed by coronavirus. Now that's in June. Now what's 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.640 fascinating about that is now we're getting a timeline coming 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:44.879 together here, and then it negates the argument that was 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.080 the original whistleblower making Well, we didn't want the Department 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.320 of Justice, which is now investigating it, to get a 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.760 hold of these accurate numbers. Well, that wouldn't even be 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.239 within that time frame, because June of last year, I 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:03.280 promise you'd nobody was investigating the nursing home scandal in 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.040 New York or even thinking about it. We're basically trying 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:09.560 to We were all gulping water dealing with something that 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.760 nobody The only person that got it right ended up 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.320 being Donald Trump in in terms of being able to 0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:19.880 do stuff like build hospitals, provide ppe ventilators, everything that 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.879 these states were not prepared for that their own health 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.400 departments that said they're gonna need it's not a matter 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.800 of if, a matter of when you'll need fifteen thousand, 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:32.480 seven hundred ninety three ventilators, and they bought none. Clomo's 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:36.439 own health test for us anyway. So you've got the 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.639 Wall Street Journal, New York Times citing documents and people 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:44.880 with the specific knowledge of what happened in Albany, New York, 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:50.640 and the Cuomo administration's internal discussions, and both those papers 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:55.800 and the AP reporting that AIDS, including the Secretary to 0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:01.359 the governor, Melissa de Rosa pushed state health officials to 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:06.080 literally edit, well the one report, said June die report, 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.480 so it counted only residents who died inside of long 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:14.760 term care facilities, not those who became ill in there 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.040 but later died at a hospital. In other words, that 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:23.240 doctoring the numbers. In the latest blow for Cuomo, you know, 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.920 now he's and I'll get to the sexual harassment issue 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:30.199 in a second. It's now two massive scandals that are 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:34.720 now I mean it's they're both percolating and boiling over 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.199 for him. When they had the sexual harassment allegations and 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.600 the interview that took place on CBS last night, you 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:45.080 got a top you got top Democrats in the state 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:49.000 have said they want those investigations to conclude before they 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.320 make a judgment about Cuomo's conduct. But in the wake 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.919 of these now, I mean again, it's coming from the 0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:59.880 media mob and democrats. This is not a partisan Republican 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:05.080 effort to take down Andrew Cuomo. Is It sounds to 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.920 me like something's been going on my read of this 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.960 for a long time in terms of how the medium 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:17.560 mob feels they have been treated by Cuomo as governor. 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:22.920 Now in his third term, and certainly Democrats in Albany 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:27.040 elected officials and how they have been treated. You know, 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:32.399 Cuomo hid the numbers. Impeach, tweeted a Queen's Assembly member 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:36.560 Ron Kim, a Democrat. He's the guy that said Cuomo 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:41.159 bullied him over the nursing home response. Now this report 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.960 was released orbut criticism of Cuomo now in the most 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.359 bizarre twisted this. This is at the time he's writing 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:52.160 his book on his great COVID leadership. This early report 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:56.280 showed nine thousand nursing home deaths. It should have been 0:23:56.440 --> 0:24:00.600 a call to action to say, okay, we've discovered we 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.960 can't put COVID patients my March exact late March executive 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.960 orders becoming an unmitigated disaster. I need to rescind it. 0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:10.720 But he didn't. He went out and defended it, knowing 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:14.199 darn well that they had been altering the numbers the 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:20.879 whole time, instructing staff to alter the numbers. So this 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:26.080 this now become this now enters the legal realm here 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:32.480 that we'd not seen before. Last night on CBS, their 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:37.040 anchor Nora O'Donnell sat down with a woman one of 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.520 the three accusers named Charlotte Bennett, that's her name. She 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:45.320 was an assistant to Governor Cuomo. This is her saying 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:48.920 that he was he propositioned her for sex. Her saying 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:52.879 the national attention, attention the governor was receiving at that time, 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.000 the praise. You know, they literally came up with the 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.879 phrase Cuomo sexual. Whatever that means, I don't even know. 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.639 I don't even want to begin to examine what the 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.600 hell it means, and I've cited where it came from. 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:09.800 But anyway, the attention made Cuomo, she says, feel like 0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:13.400 he was he was untouchable. Then she goes into details, 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:19.440 stating exactly what Cuomo was asking, started asking inappropriate questions. 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:24.159 You know, I'm lonely looking for a girlfriend. Then she 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.280 very explicitly states what she believed Cuomo was trying to do, 0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:32.640 sleep with her. Here's what she said. Governor Cuomo said 0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:37.520 that he has never propositioned anybody. Do you believe that 0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:41.560 he was propositioning you? Yes, for what? Sex? The pandemic 0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:45.280 was obviously stressful for all of us, and he was 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:50.440 on TV nearly every day talking about it. Good. So 0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:56.080 you think all this national attention may have emboldened him? Absolutely? 0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.280 I think he felt like he was untouchable in a 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.960 lot of ways. Bennett says their professional relationship took a 0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:06.280 turn on May fifteenth, when she alleges the governor started 0:26:06.320 --> 0:26:09.800 asking her about her love life and then became fixated 0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:13.040 repeating over and over again her history as a sexual 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:17.679 assault survivor. So he goes, you were raped, you were raped, 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:23.399 You were raped and abused and assaulted. Another key encounter 0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:26.320 happened on June fifth, when Bennett says she was called 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.360 into Cuomo's office to take dictation and he told her 0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:33.960 to turn off the tape recorder, and then he explains 0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:37.320 at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend. 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:43.320 He's lonely, he's tired. You've just finished dictation and the 0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:47.800 governor is telling you he's lonely and looking for a relationship. Yes, 0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:55.119 he asked if I had trouble enjoying being with someone 0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:01.480 because of my trauma. This seems highly inapprop brit Yeah. 0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:07.880 The governor asked me if I was sensitive to intimacy 0:27:08.119 --> 0:27:13.000 in his office. Yes, during the workday. You have been 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:16.520 quoted as saying that. He also asked you about if 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.560 you'd ever been with an older man. Yeah, he asked 0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:26.000 me if age difference mattered. He also explained that he 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:31.240
