1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome again, Clay Travis buck Sexton. New 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: York has come undone vaccine passports required and right now 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo responding to report New York 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: Attorney General found that he sexually harassed eleven women. We 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: go live to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: press conference now here in my home office. Let me 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: be clear that never happened. She wants anonymity, and I 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: respect that, so I am limited but what I can say, 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: But her lawyer has suggested that she will file a 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: legal claim for damages that will be decided in a 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: court of law. Trial by newspaper or biased reviews are 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: not the way to find the facts in this matter. 14 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: I welcome the opportunity for a full and fair review 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: before a judge and a jury, because this just did 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: not happen. Other complainants raised against me questions that have 17 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: sought to unfairly characterize and weaponize everyday interactions that I've 18 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: had with any number of New Yorkers. The New York 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: Times published a front page picture of me touching a 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: woman's face at a wedding and then kissing her on 21 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: the cheek. That is not front page news. I've been 22 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: making the same gesture in public all my life. I 23 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: actually learned that from my mother and from my father. 24 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: It is meant to convey warmth, nothing more. Indeed, there 25 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: are hundreds, if not thousands, of photos of me using 26 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: the exact same gesture. I do it with everyone, black 27 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: and white, young and old, straight to an LGBTQ, powerful people, friends, strangers, 28 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: people who I meet on the street. After the event, 29 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: the woman told the press that she took offense at 30 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: the gesture, and for that I apologize. Another woman stated 31 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: that I kissed her on the forehead at our Christmas 32 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: party and that I said chow bella. Now I don't 33 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: remember doing it, but I'm sure that I did. I 34 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: do kiss people on the forehead. I do kiss people 35 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: the cheek. I do kiss people on the hand. I 36 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: do embrace people. I do hug people, men and women. 37 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: I do, on occasion say childbella. On occasion, I do 38 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: slip and say sweetheart or darling or honey. I do 39 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: banter with people. I do tell jokes, some better than others. 40 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I am the same person in public as I am 41 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: in private. You have seen me do it on TV 42 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: through all my briefings and for forty years before that. 43 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: I try to put people at ease. I try to 44 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: make them smile. I try to connect with them, and 45 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: I try to show my appreciation and my friendship. I 46 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: now understand that there are generational or co trural perspectives 47 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: that frankly, I hadn't fully appreciated, and I have learned 48 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: from this. Now. The state already has an advanced sexual 49 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: harassment training program for all employees, including me. But I 50 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: want New York State Government to be a model of 51 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: office behavior, and I have brought in an expert to 52 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: design a new sexual harassment policy and procedures and to 53 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: train the whole team, myself included. I accept responsibility and 54 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: we are making changes. Other complaints relate to the work environment. Now. 55 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: I have always said my office is a demanding place 56 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: to work and that it is not for everyone. We 57 00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: work really, really hard. My office is no typical to 58 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: five government office, and I don't want it to be. 59 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: The stakes we deal with are very high, sometimes even 60 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: life and death. We have to get the job done. 61 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: I promised you that I would, and I will. But 62 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: now a number of complaints target female managers, which smacks 63 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: to me of a double standard. First, when have you 64 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: ever seen male managers maligned and villainized for working long hours, 65 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: or holding people accountable, or for being tough? A strong 66 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: male manager is respected and rewarded, but a strong female 67 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: manager is ridiculed and stereotyped. It is a double standard, 68 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: It is sexist, and it must be challenged. Also, remember 69 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: where we are today. We are living in a superheated, 70 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: if not toxic, political environment that shouldn't be lost on anyone. 71 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: Politics and bias are interwoven throughout every aspect of this situation. 72 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: One would be naive to think otherwise, and New Yorkers 73 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: are not naive. I understand these dynamics. My father used 74 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: to say, God rest his soul, that politics is an 75 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: ugly business as usual. He was right. But for my 76 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: father and for me, it's worth it because despite it all, 77 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we get good things 78 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: done or people, and that is what really matters. And 79 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: for those who are using this moment to score political 80 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: points or seek publicity or personal gain, I say they 81 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: actually discredit the legitimate sexual harassment victims. That the law 82 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: was designed to protect. My last point is this I 83 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: say to my daughters all the time that as complicated 84 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: as life gets, is as simple as life is. My 85 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: job is not about me. My job is about you. 86 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: What matters to me at the end of the day 87 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: is getting the most done I can for you. And 88 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: that is what I do every day, and I will 89 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: not be distracted from that job. We have a lot 90 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: to do. We still have to manage the COVID beast. 91 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: It is not dead yet, It's not over. We then 92 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: have to reopen and reimagine our state because our future 93 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: is going to be what we make it. I know 94 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: we can do these things because I know the strength 95 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: and the character of New Yorkers. Look at the progress 96 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: we made on COVID. It is amazing. We went from 97 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: the highest infection rate in the country to one of 98 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: the lowest infection rates in the country. Nobody thought that 99 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: we could do it, but New Yorkers did it. That 100 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: shows that there's nothing that we can't do when we 101 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: work together together together as one as one community, as 102 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: one family, as New Yorkers. We will thank you. Okay, 103 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: So you had Governor Cuomo there going full sociopath for everybody, 104 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: not stepping down, Clay, I gotta tell you, man, I 105 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: knew this guy all. Oh my gosh, he was never 106 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: going anywhere. It doesn't matter what the evidence, doesn't matter 107 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: what the report finds, and now here he is. He 108 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: did exactly what we were talking about before he came 109 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: on air live there, he did the whole Okay, maybe 110 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: there was some misunderstanding generation cultural I kiss said, I 111 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: kiss people on the neck, on the face, on the nose, 112 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: with photo evidence that they had already prepared for those 113 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: of us who were watching on television while we were listening, 114 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: and I know a lot of our listeners weren't. This 115 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: was a I gotta be honest with you, This was 116 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: a master class in preparation. Regardless of what you think 117 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: of politics. This was they were prepared for all of 118 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: this report's findings. He was reading off of a teleprompter. 119 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: They were mixing in photos to back up his arguments. 120 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: When you heard him talk about how he kisses people 121 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: male female, gage, he had a smooch collage. They had 122 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: a collage was shown on both Fox News and CNN. 123 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: We're watching it here in studio. A couple of other 124 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: things that stood out, Uh, he denied everything right. This 125 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: was reminiscent of the Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky incident for 126 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: those of you who remember it. He denied most of it. 127 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: I never touched anyone because that's where you crossed that 128 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: bright red line. Right. So he denies all of that 129 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: and uh, and he said that isn't who I am 130 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: or have ever been. He leaned on the fact that 131 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: he had forty years in public But to me, what 132 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: stands out about this is he was prepared for what 133 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: this report was gonna find. They had a speech written 134 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: that I bet he had practiced because it was well delivered. 135 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: He was reading it off a teleprompter. He can think 136 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: about the way he closed. He said politics is an 137 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: ugly business, which was a quote from his dad, Mario Cuomo, 138 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: the former governor of New York. He then talked about 139 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: his daughters, just dropped them in, right. How could which 140 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: is intended to be a message I have daughters myself. 141 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: How could I inappropriately treat women? Whether that's fair or foul. 142 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: That's the message he's trying to send by mentioning his daughters. 143 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: And then what did he close with COVID? He talked 144 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: about all the progress that New York had made with COVID. 145 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: So the speech, which started with I never touched anyone inappropriately, 146 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: ended with him talking about how great of progress New 147 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: Yorkers had made battling COVID. I think, regardless of what 148 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: you think of the politics, that was a master class 149 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: delivery of a denial which really just kind of sounded 150 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: like a state of the governorship from Andrew Cuomo when 151 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: he knew everybody was gonna be watching. And by the way, 152 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: he's not resigning. So I'm right, he's not resigning. He's 153 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Everything I said he was going to 154 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: do he ended up doing. He said that he was 155 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: a little guilty, but he said he learned. He said 156 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: that COVID was the big response and we need to 157 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: keep doing it. It is classic Cuomo. This guy is 158 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: a tyrant and that's why it doesn't matter Democrat rules, folks. 159 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: He's decided he's gonna stay, So he's going to stay. 160 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: We'll come back into this because we're just it's just 161 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: processing right now, but we just witnessed. Yes, I mean, 162 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: it's brazen beyond words in some ways, but it's very 163 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: good stuff from what a master class, as you say, 164 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: in political misdirection on time too. I don't think we 165 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: can understate that every press conference is always late. He 166 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: knows top of the hour is when the biggest audience 167 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: is for all the television networks.

My attorney, who is a non political 199 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: former federal prosecutor, has done a response to each allegation 200 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: and the facts are much different than what has been portrayed. 201 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: That document is available on my website. If you are interested, 202 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: please take the time to read the facts and decide 203 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: for yourself. First, I want you to know directly from 204 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: me that I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate 205 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: sexual advances. Governor Cuomo there saying that the facts are different, 206 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: which is another way of saying, and welcome back to 207 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck Show. I am Buck Clay and 208 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: I are here, and we are I gotta tell you, 209 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: I can't say I'm a little bit surprised about what 210 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: just happened. As I told you right before Cuomo went 211 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: on air, he's not resigning. He's gonna do a little 212 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: bit of the I'm saving you from COVID, a little 213 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: bit of the I'm a better man. He did this 214 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: whole thing about how he's an advocate for sexual assault 215 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: survivors and how he kisses everybody on the cheek or 216 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: everybody on the wherever. And here we are now hearing 217 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: from Cuomo Clay. He's saying that the women are lying, 218 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: but he won't say that, like you can't say the 219 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: facts are different here than you know, either you touched 220 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: women in places you shouldn't or you didn't. I think 221 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: it's interesting that he's trying to play this game. I mean, 222 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: he is skating all around the edges here. He's saying 223 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: some of the accusers are lying, and that should be 224 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: we should be clear about that, which is in direct 225 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: contravention to what he would say if a Republican was involved, 226 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: like what he said during the Justice Kavanaugh hearings. But 227 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: big picture here, what he is trying to do is 228 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: give enough doubt that he has political cover to not 229 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: have to resign. And then in twenty twenty two allowed 230 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: the residents citizens of New York State to render a 231 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: verdict on whether they believe he is worthy or not 232 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: of continuing to be governor of this state. So the 233 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: general public, and this is always an interesting point, the 234 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: general public is more forgiving and or you could also 235 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: say potentially not paying attention enough that they don't demand 236 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: in these situations. Look at what happened with the governor 237 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: of Virginia and all of the you know he was 238 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: posing in the KKK outfits everything else. However, we should 239 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: mention already people are abandoning ship, and the question is 240 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: how many people will This is the Senate Majority Leader 241 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: Andreas Stewart cousin. She said, this report highlights unacceptable behavior 242 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: by Governor Cuomo and his administration. As I said when 243 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: these disturbing allegations first came to light, the governor must 244 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: resign for the good of the state. Now that the 245 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: investigation is complete and the allegations have been substantiated, it 246 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: should be clear to everyone he can no longer serve 247 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: as governor. Our highest elected offices must reflect the values 248 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: and integrity that profess and New Yorkers hold. Dear. I 249 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: think the I think the Attorney General enter investigators for 250 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: their thorough investigation. I also want to give a special 251 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: thank you to the courageous women who bravely step forward 252 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: to shed light on this awful situation. We all we 253 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: owe him a detacratit this, this means nothing. She will 254 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: do nothing.

They're not gonna do a damn 259 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: thing because he's too important to the Democrat power apparatus. Ultimately, 260 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: he knows New York New York State politics better than 261 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: anybody else in the game. He runs this state with 262 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: an iron grip. They're gonna He's gonna say, they your 263 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: point about the referendum on him is critical.

Just 283 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: to give you a quick sense of where we've been, 284 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: where we're going, we have vaccine mandate in New York City. 285 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: Get the shot or you get shut out of restaurants, 286 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: of bars, of any indoor place that the city has 287 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: control over. And also a lot of businesses, a lot 288 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: of workplaces are mandating it too. Going to affected a 289 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: few weeks. But the bombshell in the last hour has 290 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: been Governor Cuomo. First off, the report coming out saying 291 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: that he sexually harassed eleven women, created a hostile work environment, 292 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: unwanted touching, sexually inappropriate comments. The Clay and I were 293 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: talking about where does this go? Just had the live 294 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: press conference, we brought it to you with Governor Cuomo 295 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: in real time saying basically not going anywhere. They have 296 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: their facts wrong. I'm a great guy, I'm a great leader. 297 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: Deal with it. Democrat rules in effect, and I just 298 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: wanted to establish what the current president was saying. Back 299 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: on ABC News in March to George Stephanopolis about his 300 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: feelings on Governor Cuomo. Let me ask you about Governor 301 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,239 Speaker 1: Cuomo of New York. I know you said he want 302 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: the investigation to continue. If the investation confirms the claims 303 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: of the women, should he resign? Yes? I think he 304 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: probably ended up being prosecuted too. Ah Clay not only 305 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: should he resign, which, as I've said, he absolutely will 306 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: not do. And I even have a couple of bets 307 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: with New York City politicians on the Republican side about this. 308 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: One say that he's never He's not going to resign, 309 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. On another level, President Biden 310 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: said he should be prosecuted, which doesn't even seem like 311 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: it's in the cards a little bit. Well, it could 312 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: be in the cards if the ag of New York 313 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: wants to get the governor job, which actually I think 314 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: would move in favor of Andrew Cuomo here buck, because 315 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: then he can truly argue even more, this is a 316 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: politically motivated prosecution, which is difficult to do when it's 317 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: only Democrats involved. No, let's tuk a big picture here 318 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: for a minute too. You heard what Joe Biden said. 319 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Remember the governor of Virginia, in the wake of the 320 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: Everything is Racist Democratic movement, basically said I'm not going 321 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: to resign, and the media moved on, stopped covering him, 322 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: and he's going to finish out his term, right, Nor 323 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: the governor of Virginia if Andrew Homo survives this if 324 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: he is able to finish his term and or run 325 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: for reelection again in twenty twenty two. What this could 326 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: represent on a big, broad scale is me Two's over 327 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Think about this because if Democrats are unable to remove 328 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: the eleven time accused current sitting governor of New York 329 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: despite an independent investigation by the state attorney general which 330 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: confirms the allegations of the women, then how in the 331 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: world can anyone politically ever be removed. You remember this 332 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: is significant. These are not random women that don't have 333 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: a connection to his job. These are mostly women who 334 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: worked in his office, which is the definition of sexual harassment. 335 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: If this doesn't get Andrew Cuomo out of office, the 336 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: standard for anybody accused of a me too violation and 337 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 1: government Democrat, Republican, independent, doesn't matter, is going to be 338 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: look at what happened to Andrew Cuomo. This could mean 339 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: the end of me too because hashtag remember believe all women. 340 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: That's going up in smoke right now. That was the 341 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: argument that existed in the bread Havanaugh situation. I think 342 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you could argue that that already, because of the obvious 343 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: politicization of it against Kavanaugh, was no longer considered a 344 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: fair and credible standard by anybody who believes in fairness 345 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: or credibility. Yes, on the Cuomo side of things, here 346 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: you have somebody who is a very connected, powerful Democrat who, remember, 347 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: is also tied into the whole COVID narrative. He's tied 348 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: into the Democrat response in twenty twenty, the Biden campaign saying, 349 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: look at who did a great job. Cuomo did a 350 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: great job, they said, and not only was he pushing 351 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: seniors with COVID back into nursing homes, he was and 352 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: then lying about that data. He was also lying all along. 353 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: Unless you think that these report unless you only have 354 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: two options these women are lying or Cuomo is lying. 355 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: This is there's there's no third option in terms of 356 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: whether he touched them or not. And so the Democrats 357 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: feel like this guy going down overall is too much 358 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: of a brand hit for them. So they're gonna make 359 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: a lot of We're gonna have all these statements, Clay, Oh, 360 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: this isn't how it range all this, and then two 361 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: days from now or five days from now or whatever, 362 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: there'll be some insurrection narrative they're talking about on CNN, 363 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: and Bro Cuomo will be there talking about how the 364 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: white nationalists are gonna take over at any moment, and 365 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: we need to have big tech monitoring all those Trump 366 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: voters because of the coup that's you know, gonna happen 367 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: at any moment. And everything we've seen today from Governor 368 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Cuomo starts to sound like background noise. Everything we've heard, 369 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: all the allegations. And this guy not only does he 370 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: stay in office, he runs for reelection, and Clay not 371 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: only does he run for reelection, he wins. Here's the 372 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: needle that I would say, Andrew Cuomo is trying to finesse. 373 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: You said either he is lying or the women are lying, 374 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: and I think that's the way most people would acknowledge it. 375 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: But remember his opening line almost was I never touched 376 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. That isn't who 377 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: I am or have ever been. That's Andrew Cuomo. Let's 378 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: look at some of the work that these sentences are doing. 379 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: Remember this was a masterfully crafted defense when he knew 380 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: already what the outcome of this investigation was going to be. 381 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: Remember Bill Clinton came on in the Monica Lewinsky response 382 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: and later would get prosecuted for lying under oath and 383 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: remember what his defense is. That depends on what the 384 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: meaning of the word is, right, because if you remember 385 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's initial response, he said there is no sexual relationship, 386 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: and his defense was that means right now, he didn't 387 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: say there was no sexual relationship. He said there is 388 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: no sexual relationship, meaning he called it off. Why do 389 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: I bring that up? If you look at what Chris 390 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: what Andrew Cuomo was saying. He says, I never touched 391 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. The word there 392 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: that is doing a lot of work is inappropriate. Inappropriate 393 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: is a term of art. What is or is not 394 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 1: inappropriate in terms of touching, in terms of commentary, is 395 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: really up to the mind of the person or they 396 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: can't say I never touched anybody because they had a 397 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: Collie dozens of photos of him doing the Fredo brother 398 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: smooch on the cheek thing. He admitted, in fact, to 399 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: touching people all the time. He admitted to the commentary 400 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: that might be involved in his office. So his legal 401 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: defense as well as potentially his political defense, comes down 402 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 1: in the same way Bill Clinton said that depends on 403 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: what the word, meaning of the word is is comes 404 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: down to what is inappropriate, What is inappropriate and how 405 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: do you define it in the context of the office 406 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 1: at play here? And the real question is did his 407 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: address provide enough political cover? You believe the answer is yes, 408 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: because Democrats don't want to do anything. You think his 409 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: response gave enough political cover for him to avoid being 410 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: forced to resign or impeached or whatever might happen in Albany. 411 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: You think the answer is yes. The question is, I think, 412 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: how will the media cover this? And think about how 413 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: the media would cover this if it were a Democrat verse, right, 414 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: if we're a Republican, Sure, I mean it would be 415 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: very different. We all know that it would have not 416 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: even gotten to this point because you would have had 417 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: like a news ticker at the bottom of the screen. 418 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: How many days since Republican sexual abuser hasn't resigned? Right? 419 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: They would do what CNN did with COVID deaths under 420 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Trump and then somehow mysteriously dropped right after Biden came 421 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: into office, which is the constant flood the zone approach. 422 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: But Cuomo's defiance here to anybody who understands New York 423 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: State politics, how things work up in Albany, who owes 424 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: whom favors and how this system actually functions. We are 425 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: in a one party Democrat controlled state. They have an 426 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: iron grip over what goes on in the legislative legislature, 427 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: and Cuomo has a lot on a lot of people, Clay, 428 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: his family is very entrenched with a lot of the 429 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: most powerful Democrats in Albany. And there's just not gonna 430 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: be enough right now. I understand it feels like, oh 431 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: my gosh, look what just happened. But I mean, this 432 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: guy didn't didn't resign when it came out that he 433 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,479 Speaker 1: was lying about the seniors dying in nursing. It's not 434 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 1: just the end bad policies. He covered up the numbers 435 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: by fifty percent of people dying in a pandemic. If 436 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: Democrats aren't going to try to push him out of 437 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: office for a yet investigator charge him. If they're not 438 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: going to do that, they're not going to do it 439 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: over inappropriate comments and inappropriate touching. I just don't I 440 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: don't see it. But you know, we can take it 441 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: to some of the lines here too, because I know 442 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: people are probably fired up. Eight hundred two eight two 443 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: eight eight two Clay what he got Paul in Minnesota, 444 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: Bucks says I'm sixty three years old. I love to 445 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: play softball, but I've been very limited and run into bases, 446 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: and that's important. Obviously. After taking relief Factor for about 447 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: a month to paint in my knee almost gone, I'm 448 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: now able to run the bases without pain, which I 449 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: was not able to do last year. I even beat 450 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: out a throw to first after hitting a hard ground or. 451 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: Relief Factor was a game changer for me, I know 452 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: for sure, because it's been a relief factor of actor 453 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: in a big way for my wife when it comes 454 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: to her workouts.

Walking back 474 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: in Clay Travis buck Sexton blockbuster day of news in 475 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: New York City. We are hanging out, breaking down everything 476 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: live as we react. Earlier this hour, New York Governor 477 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo determined to have sexually harassed eleven different women 478 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: who are employed inside of New York government. And we 479 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: had the defense of I never touched anyone in inappropriately 480 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: or made inappropriate sexual advances. And you look, I know 481 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: that CNN is not the journalistic standard for excellence really 482 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: anywhere in the history of journalism. But Buck, as we 483 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: were sitting here in studio, we've got Fox News and 484 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: we've got CNN side by side covering stories this breaking 485 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: news story, CNN brought in Jeffrey Tuban as their legal 486 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: expert to analyze these claims. For those of you out 487 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: there who have forgotten, Jeffrey Tuban, the legal analyst employed 488 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: by CNN, was suspended four months because he was caught 489 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: treating his body like an amusement park during a zoom call, 490 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: and CNN brought him back and had him discuss it 491 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: on the air. And now, of all the people that 492 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: could be their legal analyst, looking at the behavior of 493 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, I mean, I know it's tough to laugh, 494 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: but I think even Andrew Cuomo's people would have to 495 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: be like, well, we may not be perfect, but at 496 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: least a governor didn't do what Jeffrey Tuban, the legal analyst, 497 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: has admitted to doing. At CNN, you got Jeffrey Tuban 498 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: understanding what it means to come under public scrutiny for 499 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: inappropriate behavior, that's for sure. He speaks of what he 500 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: knows when it comes to not what we say, unbecoming 501 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: behavior of a sexual nature. But look, Governor Cuomo here 502 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: totally entrenched. He is going to fight this out to 503 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: the very end. Totally defiant statement from him. No remorse, 504 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: just a lot of dancing around and making his case 505 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: as though he were his own lawyer, and he was 506 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: presenting how everything said about him that makes him look 507 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,719 Speaker 1: bad is either an exaggeration or just flatly untrue. I 508 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: do think that this is also, unfortunately, at some level, 509 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: giving a degree of cover to the vaccine mandate that 510 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: went into effect today or that was announced today, doesn't 511 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: go to effect for a few a few weeks here 512 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: in New York City from the Mayor of New York 513 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: saying you're gonna have to get the shot. I also 514 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: think you can expect, though, that Cuomo is about to 515 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: get way up on his COVID response high horse to 516 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: become this is what he's done all along. When he's 517 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: in trouble, he does a press conference and he's like, 518 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna protect you. I'm gonna make sure you're safe. 519 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna do the things we needed, you know, And 520 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: this is the way it keeps going, and everyone goes, oh, Okay, 521 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: maybe he said some naughty things, but he's gonna save 522 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: me from the COVID and that's been his game plan 523 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: all along. So I'd be prepared to see, and I 524 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: know it feels like, right, now, come on, Buck, really 525 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: give it a couple of days. By Monday, Cuomo will 526 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: be doing press releases, press conferences on how important it 527 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: is that we take the virus seriously, get your shot. 528 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: Here are the numbers, here's the data. He dude, he 529 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: plays this game very well. That's the thing. This guy 530 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: knows how to do. Let's presume he's going to find 531 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: a way to skate. Let's presume that happens, and that 532 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: you're right, and that the fallout won't be severe enough 533 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: to cost him his job. Is there any argument that 534 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: me too still exist? If if you think about a buck, 535 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: if aleven different women employed by the governor of But 536 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: Democrats don't have principles, Clay, they don't care. They don't care, 537 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: so they're gonna say, oh, well that you know, they'll 538 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: just look at the way they treat news coverage. And 539 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: we talk all the time, but Russia collusion and now 540 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: where there are the insurrectionists. They have no principles to defend. 541 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: So when we worry about how they'll apply principles in 542 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: the future, I don't think it really. If there's a 543 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh like situation again, they will try the Kavanaugh playbook again, 544 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: where they can try to destroy somebody who's innocent based 545 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: on sexual harassment allegations. Now, I think maybe a point 546 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: where we can have a total agreement is it won't 547 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: work as well because of the Cuomo thing. But I 548 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: think that they're shameless, so they'd roll out. I think 549 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: they may try, but I think this effectively ends me too, right. 550 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: I mean, at some point all revolutions die. And if 551 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: eleven people who are employed in the New York Governor's 552 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: office are credibly found to have made allegations that are 553 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: believed of sexual harassment against the governor and he doesn't 554 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: have to resign, I don't see any way that the 555 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: standard for forcing someone out can be me too relate 556 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: it now, I mean Clinton was credibly accused of actual 557 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: sexual assault. Now, I know that was before me too, 558 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: but you'll still have Democrats that defend him all the time. 559 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: I mean, and by the way, the stuff we know 560 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: about Clinton is just the tip of the Iceland. I 561 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: think that's an interesting question too. Write how would Bill 562 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Clinton survive with the fact that Monica Lewinsky is an 563 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,280 Speaker 1: intern today? I think that would be a harder, harder 564 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 1: needle to thread from the Bill Clinton perspective. But to me, 565 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: the big takeaway here is one, I want to see 566 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: the fallout. Two. Andrew Cuomo was one hundred percent prepared 567 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: for this defense. He has issued as good of a 568 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: defense as he could given the circumstances. Three. Will he 569 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: be able to maintain his hold on power? Yeah? You 570 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: know where I am on this. I've been said yes, 571 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: I said he wasn't going to resign. I told you 572 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: he's gonna be defiant and that he's gonna say he's 573 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: learned some lessons. You're right about all of his And 574 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: I think it's the right only play that he had. 575 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: That's the only play because if he were to step down, 576 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: of course, that essentially an admission that everything against him 577 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: is true. It ruins not just his political career going forward, 578 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: it ruins the Cuomo dynasty. This guy you gotta think 579 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,439 Speaker 1: like cor Leoni, my friend, you gotta think godfather kind 580 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: of stuff. He's thinking about the Cuomo brand for generations 581 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: to come as well. He's not He's not gonna go 582 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: down without a fight. And I don't think he's going 583 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: down period. But are we gonna go down with a 584 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: fight here in New York? When it comes to vaccine mandates, 585 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: and also Clay, we got some updates on the Olympics 586 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: and Simone Biles and much more in the third hour. 587 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna run us through some of it. So I'm 588 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: more interested in you. You're the sports expert getting raked 589 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: over the colds for all your takes. What's gonna be 590 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: your hot take that gets crushed today? I can't wait. 591 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: Big third hour coming up. Next, you're listening to Clay 592 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: Travis said Buck Sex to fund the EIB Network
