1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: You had Governor Cuomo, aided by his brother Chris Cuomo,

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: telling a fantasy, a fantasy that New York was doing

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: it right, that New York was saving lives, that New

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: York was protecting people like no other state in America

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen. The New York was making the tough

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and hard decisions to shut things down before anybody else

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: was even thinking about it. And then there were people

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: that started to praise Governor Cuomo as this amazing leader

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: and they were giving him these, you know, big media

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: hugs on TV about what an amazing, incredible job that

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: he was doing. And then in the middle of a pandemic,

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: when people were dying left and right, Governor Cuomo decided

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: to ink a book deal where he would make himself

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money and write a book about

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: his leadership, right, write a book about how amazing he

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: is at fighting COVID, like he was a superhero. So

17
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of all this, while people are actually

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: dying in New York and the numbers are going up,

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: he's writing a book. Now. I doubt he wrote a

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of the book. I want to be clear about that, Okay,

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: I just I don't see it. I highly highly highly

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: highly highly highly doubt that he wrote a book. He

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: had a ghostwriter. But he's spent a lot of time

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: working on the book, he said, a lot of time

25
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: sitting down talking about the book. Right, He spent a

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: lot of time just going over this book and chatting

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: about this book and explaining what he wanted to say

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: in this book. And then he got awards for his

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: handling and did this tour which was like a victory

30
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: lap while people were still dying from COVID, and the

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: media praised him. Then the whistleblowers, and this is five

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: six months ago now started coming forward saying, hold on

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: a second, guys, this is not okay. What are you doing.

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this? Why are you acting like

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: everything is okay when clearly everything is not okay. Why

36
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: are you acting like this guy did an amazing job

37
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: when he didn't. But but nevertheless, they were trying to

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: turn him into Governor Cuomo, into what Rudy Giuliani became

39
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven. They were trying to turn him

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: into America's governor the same way that organically, by the way,

41
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: not through propaganda, Rudy Giliani became America's mayor. Forget whatever

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you think about Giuliani. Now Giuliani was America's mayor. I

43
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: remember seeing him speak at a major conference after nine eleven,

44
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: and he was a rock star. And he was a

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: rock star. Not because of propaganda, Okay, he was. He

46
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: was a rock star. Not because there was a book

47
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: that he wrote while they were still trying to get

48
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: people out of the rubble down at you know, down

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: at it ground zero. He was a rock star because

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: he had a real response that was authentic and organic,

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: and he did an amazing job. And when you do that,

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: you deserve to get praise. When political leaders do something right,

53
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: they deserve to get accolades. But what we saw with

54
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo was not accolades. It was one propaganda because

55
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: you already had people out there that were dissenting, explaining, Hey,

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: you're making terrible decisions, you're not paying attention, you're destroying

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: people's lives, Governor Cuomo, your lockdowns are hurting people. We

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: saw suicide rates go through the roof. We've seen homicide

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: rates go through the roof. We've seen violence go through

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: the roof, child abuse go through the roof. In New York,

61
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: all of this was happening, But there was a bigger

62
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: issue than any of the things I just mentioned. Okay,

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: there was an even bigger issue. And the bigger issue

64
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: was an issue that everybody in the media should have

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: been paying attention to, and that was the unbelievable rate

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: of death that was happening in nursing homes. And there

67
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: were some that tried to sound the alarm. I'll give

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: you an example, a full disclosure. A lady who I

69
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for, who I would consider

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: to be a friend, Jannisteine at Fox News Channel. Both

71
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: of her in laws died in nursing homes, and they

72
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: died because of an order of a mandate from the

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: governor that if you were COVID nineteen positive and we

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: need to get you out of the hospital, then what

75
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: we would end up doing is taking you back to

76
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: a nursing home, and then you were infecting everybody in

77
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: the nursing home, and then people were dying in the

78
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: nursing home. And even after they knew that this was

79
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: a bad decision, Okay, even after they knew that it

80
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: was a terrible decision to do this, they still kept

81
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: doing it. Even after they knew that people were dying

82
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: because this decision, the governor continued to move forward and

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: do it. And you have to ask yourself the question,

84
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: why why would you keep doing this? Probably because you're

85
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: not paying attention, Probably because you're too busy writing a book,

86
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Probably because you're too busy patting yourself on the back

87
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: and giving yourself a love fest to yourself. And the

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: media is having you on TV talking about you're America's governor.

89
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: You're doing it right. Look how amazing New York is,

90
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: when actually New York was failing, failing miserably. And then

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: people start giving you awards, and you're flying around the

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: country to get these awards, all of course liberals giving

93
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: accolades to liberals because that's what they do, all while

94
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: people are actually dying. Then you have the media start

95
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: turning on conservative governors that we're doing the opposite of

96
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: what Governor Cuomo was mandating in New York. Insert a

97
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: guy that most of you didn't know the name of,

98
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of De Santists Governor to

99
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Santis in Florida. The media started to turn on him,

100
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: trying to write stories about him, saying that his decisions

101
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: were causing it costing people their lives, that his decisions

102
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: were disastrous, that his decisions people were dying because of

103
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: and Governor de Santis decided, guess what, I'm going to

104
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: fight back. I'm going to fight back with the stats.

105
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to fight back with the reality of what's

106
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: happening on the ground. I'm going to fight back and

107
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: tell you what's really going on, and I'm going to

108
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: tell you why we're doing what we're doing. We're being responsible,

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: what we're keeping people open, We're being responsible, but we're

110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: not ruining people's lives. And the media continued to pound.

111
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: The media was doing everything they could to find horror

112
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 1: stories in Florida's they could blackmail or shame publicly shame

113
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: to Santists and the other Republicans, talking about how stupid

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: and evil they were and how dumb they were, how

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: they were costing people's lives, except the stories didn't materialize.

116
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: While this was happening, there were more whistleblowers coming forward,

117
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: more healthcare workers coming forward, more people trying to tell

118
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the stories that the governor in New York was actually

119
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: his policies were actually responsible for people dying. I'm not

120
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: overstating that that's a fact. Well, then then there were

121
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: people that came forward and said, hey, Governor de Santis

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: is the real you know, look over here, this Florida

123
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: guy is terrible, not not Cuomo. Right, they started this

124
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: misinformation war from the media. Of course, it's always based

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: out of you guests at New York and as Then

126
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: liberals in New York started to say, hey, these policies

127
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: are really hurting the city and the state of New York,

128
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: and you guys are responsible for people dying. What did

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: they do? They double down? How dare you question us?

130
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: How dare you attack us? And then people said, well,

131
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: hold on, these numbers don't seem right. And then they said,

132
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: you're a conspiracy theory. I'm talking about death count numbers.

133
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: People were saying, there's no way that these numbers are accurate.

134
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: Now you had healthcare workers that were saying, there is

135
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: no way that these numbers were accurate. The media is

136
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: still refused to port on the story a story that hey,

137
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: maybe more people are dying and assisted living facilities because

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: of the policies of Governor Cuomo than are actually being reported. Well,

139
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: insert a whistleblower. Now a governor Cuomo aide has told

140
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: New York Democrats and the administration that their administration. Cuomo's

141
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: administration actually purposely hid the nursing home data to keep

142
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: it from Donald Trump and the Department of Justice. This

143
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: newly released data shows the nursing home desk were much

144
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: higher than previously being reported. While everybody was talking about

145
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: how amazing Governor Cuomo was doing, why I was writing

146
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: a book while he was getting awards, while he was

147
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: touring the country as this propaganda of America as governor.

148
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: A top aide to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told

149
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: leading state Democratic lawmakers that the administration had, in fact,

150
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: on purpose withheld data on COVID nineteen deaths at nursing

151
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: homes to avoid federal scrutiny. According to a new Bombshell

152
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: News report, the revelation is prompted condemnation and even talk

153
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: of impeachment. In Albany, New York, the state's capital representatively, Zelden,

154
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: wants the Department of Justice to open an obstruction of

155
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: justice investigation. Quote, the families of thousands of dead New

156
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: York seniors deserve accountability and justice for the true consequences

157
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: of Governor Cuomo's fatally flawed nursing home policy and the

158
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: continued attempts to cover it up. It's clear what's happening

159
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: here is criminal, he went on to say. The New

160
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: York Post first reported that Melissa de rosa secretary to

161
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: the governor, told leading Empire State Democrats, that the administration

162
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: fear the data could quote be used against us by

163
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. During a video conference call. She said

164
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: this on a video conference call. The DOJ began investigating

165
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: nursing home coronavirus desks in four states back in August,

166
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: and New York was one of them. Quote. We were

167
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: in a position where we weren't sure if what we

168
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: were doing, what we were excused me going to give

169
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice, or what we give to

170
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: you guys, what we start saying was going to be

171
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: used against us while we weren't sure if there was

172
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: going to be an investigation, DeRosa told the lawmakers. According

173
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: to the Post report, a senior QUOMA advisor placed some

174
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: of the blame on the Trump administration in the call, saying, quote,

175
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: we explained that the Trump administration was in the midst

176
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: of a politically motivated effort to blame Democrats and Democratic

177
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: states for COVID deaths. This is how they're spinning it

178
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: last night, and that we were cooperating with federal document

179
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: production and that was the priority. And now that it's over,

180
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: we can address the state legislature that said we were

181
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: working simultaneously to complete the audit of information that they

182
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: were asking for. Now, let me explain to you how

183
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: egregious the offense is here by America's governor. Is how again,

184
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: CNN and abcnbc's MSNBC, you know where they I mean,

185
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: this was the guy, right, Cuomo was their guy. He

186
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: was the guy that writes a book in the middle

187
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: of the pandemic talking about how amazing his response is.

188
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: What we now have been told is that the New

189
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: York State, the Governor's office, on purpose, undercut nursing home

190
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: coronavirus death by as much as fifty percent, by as

191
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: much as fifty percent to save face. They didn't give

192
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: a crap if you died. This goes back to the

193
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: whistle blowers the state, by the way, and the Democrats

194
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: said everything they could silence the whistle blowers. I'll go

195
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: back to Jenisteine. Many of you know her from Fox

196
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: News channel as the meteorologist there. They blocked her from

197
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: actually testifying before the State Assembly in Albany because they

198
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: said she was political because she worked at Fox. She

199
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: wasn't speaking on behalf of Fox, She's a meteorologist. She

200
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: was speaking on behalf of her two dead in laws

201
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: that died because of this rule by Governor Cuomo to

202
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: take highly contagious COVID nineteen page who were still contagious

203
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: and forced nursing homes to put them back into the

204
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: center where they then infected staff and other elderly people

205
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: who died. And then once they knew it was a disaster,

206
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: instead of fixing the rule, they covered it up by

207
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: underreporting the number of deaths by up to fifty percent.

208
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: And his staff is just talking about it openly on

209
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: these calls. Right, Hey, we had we had a lie,

210
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: We had a lot of the citizens. We had to

211
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: cover this up. We had to underreport. We didn't want

212
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: the DOJ to use us against us, and we figured

213
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: we could wait it out till Biden got an office.

214
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: Then we wouldn't have to worry because we knew they

215
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: would cover it up for us. Right, That's what they're

216
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: basically saying here. News of the call is sparked outrage

217
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: among state Republicans and other critics of Cuomo's conduct already

218
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: and senced over his March twenty fifth directive that ordered

219
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: thousands of virus infected seniors back into assistant living facilities,

220
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: nursing homes and other long term care locations. The second

221
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: most powerful person state government and top a to Governor Cuomo,

222
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: admitted on video to the premeditated and willful violation of

223
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: state law and what clearly amounts to federal obstruction of

224
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: justice is what the state GOP chairman Nick Langworthy said.

225
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo has abused his power and destroyed the trust

226
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: placed in the office of the governor. Prosecution and impeachment

227
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: discussions must begin right away. Freedom of information data released

228
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: Wednesday revealed that the nursing home death toll was far

229
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: higher than the Governor's office was reporting, and those numbers

230
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: emerged just two weeks after the state Attorney General found

231
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: that the numbers released before the end of January were

232
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: also significantly underreported. Quote. It seems every decision coming out

233
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: of the Governor's office is about Team Cuomo protecting its

234
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: own image and an interest is what a State Assemblyman

235
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: William Barclay said more than one thousand, excuse me, more

236
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: than fifteen thousand seniors died in adult care facilities in

237
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: New York State. But the governor was clearly more worried

238
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: about his image and adj investigation and political finger pointing,

239
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: and of course, writing books and talking about how amazing

240
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: he did as a governor. In a response to a

241
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: separate freedom of information request this week, state health officials

242
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: told the Associated Press that more than nine thousand virus

243
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: patients had been sent into nursing homes in the state

244
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: before Cuomo reversed the directive on May the tenth. So

245
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: you took nine thousand seniors that had COVID nineteen, you

246
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: forced them back into nursing homes in the state, and

247
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: you didn't reverse it, even though everybody was telling you

248
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: to do it. You didn't reverse it. A nursing home

249
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: plan that was killing people. You didn't reverse it even

250
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: though everyone was telling you to do it. The question

251
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: is why why would the governor be so arrogant, so ignorant,

252
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: so incompetent. Once pretty clear they weren't running the Governor's

253
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: office for the people of New York. Every decision coming

254
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: out of the governor's office was about team Governor Cuomo,

255
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: protecting his image and his own interests. That's what State

256
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Assemblyman William Barclay is now saying. More than fifteen thousand

257
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: seniors died, the governor didn't care about them. He was

258
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: more worried about his image. In a response to a

259
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: separate freedom of information requests this week, state health officials

260
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: told the Associated Press that more than nine thousand virus

261
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: patients had been sent into nursing homes in the state

262
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: before Cuomo decided to stop. This administration intentionally withheld information

263
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: from the public, from the press, from lawmakers, and from

264
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: thousands of families who lost loved ones. This is why

265
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: closed to our conversations won't cut it. If this doesn't

266
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: make it painfully obvious that we need to issue subpoenas

267
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: and hold public hearings, I don't know what will. Even

268
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: Democratic lawmakers are agreeing with what Republicans are saying, like

269
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: the one I just read you. That quote from Democratic

270
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: lawmakers on the call even pushed back against the administration's excuses.

271
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: Quote in a pandemic when you want the public to

272
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: trust the public health officials, and there is this clear

273
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: feeling that they're not being forthcoming with you. This is

274
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: really hard, is what State Center Rachel May said during

275
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: the call. She's a Democrat. So what is Team Quomo

276
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: doing now? We're being told that he's doing everything but

277
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: being honest. He's trying to get Democrats to back him,

278
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: to support him, to not have this thing spiral out

279
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: of control. I go back to the very beginning of

280
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: this story. This scumbag governor was writing a book making

281
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: money off of COVID, making money off the pandemic, making

282
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: money off of a false pretense by the way, that

283
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: he was somehow the silver bullet to saving people's lives.

284
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: That's what Governor Cuomo was. Remember, Governor Cuomo understood the

285
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: value here. He understood what a great value COVID could

286
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: be to his legacy if he could sell it that.

287
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: He understood it and did it better than anyone else did.

288
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: He understood how amazing this could be for him. He

289
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: understood the upside to this. But even as things are

290
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: spiraling out of control, he just said, I don't have

291
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: to admit it, right, I don't have to look backwards.

292
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: I don't have to go backwards. I don't have to

293
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: act like this isn't happening. I'm gonna keep moving forward.

294
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep moving forward as fast as I can.

295
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna keep moving forward and make sure

296
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: that no matter what I've got this that I'm in charge,

297
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 1: that this keeps moving in this direction. Because there's a

298
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: certain point where he also knew that this information came out,

299
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: his book career would be over right, there was a

300
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: certain point where the book would be done. So I

301
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: would argue that in this criminal investigation, which I do

302
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: believe should happen, that one of the main reasons why

303
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo refused to crewed up is he needed to

304
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: get the book out there, and the book was would

305
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: not be out there. There would be no book tour,

306
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: there would be no money being made if he came

307
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, we really screwed up, because then

308
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: the whole entire book would be ruined. How can you

309
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: throw a book out there that says that you did

310
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: an amazing job when you walk out and have to

311
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: admit that we screwed up in a bunch of people died,

312
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: like fifteen thousand people died because the incompetency of our

313
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: administration can't do it. That book won't sell. Actually take

314
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: that back. I think some people would still buy it

315
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: because they're stupid. But the publisher may have even had

316
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: to pull the book if that is the case. If

317
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: that is that, if that was what the governor actually

318
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: decided to do, so instead they said, oh the hell

319
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: with that, will cover it up instead. What we're gonna

320
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: do is, we're gonna cover it up, and we're gonna

321
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: make it and we're gonna act like it never really happened.

322
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix this, right, We're gonna we're gonna fix it,

323
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: and we're gonna make sure that we'll make it through this,

324
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: and the media will cover for us. The media will

325
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: take care of us, because that's what they always do, right, right.

326
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: The media always gets her back on this kind of stuff,

327
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: don't they. They're always the ones that support us when

328
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: these types of things happen, and they've done it so far.

329
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: When you've got a top aid coming out and saying

330
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: this on this call, telling the states leading Democratic lawmakers

331
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: that the administration had on purpose with held the data

332
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: on COVID nineteen deaths at these nothing homes for one

333
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: reason to avoid federal scrutiny. The New York Post first

334
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: reported that Melissa DeRosa, the secretary to the governor, told

335
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: the leading Democrats in New York State, that the administration

336
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: fear the data could quote be used against us by

337
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. During a video conference call. The DOJ

338
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: began investigating nursing home coronavirus death in four states back

339
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: in August, New York. One of them quote, we were

340
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: in a position where we weren't sure if what we

341
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: were doing going to give the Department of Justice or

342
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: what we give to you guys, what we start saying

343
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: was going to be used against us, while we weren't

344
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: sure if there was going to be an investigation. So

345
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: therefore we just said, screw it. We're gonna lie to you.

346
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: If you think the Democratic Party cares about you. This

347
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: is the lead of the Democratic Party of Governors, right,

348
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: this is this was America's governor. This was Rudy Giuliani

349
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: two point zero. Use a crisis to your advantage. Except

350
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: when Giuliani became America's mayor. It was authentic, it was original,

351
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't planned, it wasn't coordinated by his staff. Right,

352
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: Giuliani wouldn't have there trying to sell a book while

353
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: they were still going through the rubble at ground zero,

354
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: which is exactly what Governor Cuomo was doing. Hey, Hey,

355
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: let's tell everybody, I'm doing a great job. Great, Hey,

356
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: let's get us a book deal out of this. Great Hey,

357
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: oven or people were SOI dying right now, Shut up,

358
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I gotta write the book. Can't tell that story. We're

359
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna tell everybody for my own political gain. And I

360
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: got a brother on CNN that will help me do it,

361
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: and Chris Cuomo, and I got other people in the

362
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: media in New York that will do the same thing

363
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: for me. They'll tell everybody I'm doing a great job,

364
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: and maybe this will help me run for president one day.

365
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: Because if you don't think this is about politics, you

366
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: are not paying attention. This was absolutely about his political future.

367
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo saw an opportunity to become president one day

368
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: because of his response. If you don't think he was

369
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: thinking about the White House, you're not thinking. And the

370
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: media helped do it and cover it up. That's how

371
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: evil the media is. That's how evil the social media

372
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: networks are that put this propagaina out there. They didn't

373
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: fact check it. By the way, they didn't take it down.

374
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: All these crap stories about Governor Cuomo, they never censored them,

375
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: they never marked them as false news or fake news.

376
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: I wonder how many fact checkers will go back and

377
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: fact check this on Facebook, on Twitter and mark these

378
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: stories about how what a great job he did actually

379
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: is total crap. And I'll leave it at that.
