HOW THE VIRUS STARTED AND HOW
MUCH CHINA LIED ABOUT IT.
JEDEDIAH: A FOX NEWS ALERT, TWO
OF NEW YORK’S PROMINENT
DEMOCRATS, KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND
AND CHUCK SCHUMER JOINING CLOSE
TO 160 NEW YORK LAWMAKERS IN
CALLING FOR GOVERNOR ANDREW
CUOMO TO RESIGN IN THE MIDST OF
THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDAL
WHERE 7 WOMEN HAVE COME FORWARD
WITH ALLEGATIONS.
GREG JARRETT SAYS CUOMO NEEDS TO
WORRY LESS ABOUT HIS POLITICAL
CAREER AND MORE ABOUT PRISON.
WE NOW HAVE 7 ALLEGATIONS,
POLITICIANS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE CALLING FOR RESIGNATION,
IMPEACHMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK
WOULD HAPPEN NEXT AND WHAT
SHOULD HAPPEN NEXT?
>> HE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT
CRIMINAL CHARGES AND CONVICTION
AND PRISON TIME INSTEAD OF
HANGING ONTO THE REINS OF POWER
BECAUSE UNDER THE PENAL CODE
SECTION IN NEW YORK, FONDLING OR
GROPING SOMEONE AGAINST THEIR
WILL WITHOUT CONSENT IS CALLED
FORCIBLE TOUCHING AND IT IS A
CRIME.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SIXTH
ACCUSER HAS DESCRIBED ANDREW
CUOMO’S BEHAVIOR TOWARD HER AND
WASN’T THE FIRST TIME.
IF SHE IS A COMPETENT AND
CREDIBLE WITNESS AGAINST HIM AND
IF OTHER ACCUSERS WERE ALLOWED
TO TESTIFY TO ESTABLISH A
PATTERN OF CONDUCT AS WE SAW IN
THE HARVEY WEINSTEIN CONVICTION
THAT ANDREW CUOMO IS IN SERIOUS
CRIMINAL JEOPARDY, SIX TIMES HE
DEMANDED POLITICIANS REDESIGN
WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OR BY HIS
STANDARD HE OUGHT TO RESIGN, HE
CALLED BRETT KAVANAUGH
PRESUMPTIVELY GUILTY SO BY HIS
STANDARD HEAT SHOULD DECLARE
HIMSELF PRESUMED GUILTY AND YET
HE INSISTS ON DO PROCESS WHICH
HE CALLS THE DEMAND FOR HIS
RESIGNATION RECKLESS AND
DANGEROUS.
HE WAS RECKLESS AND DANGEROUS
WHEN HE DID THE EXACT SAME
THING.
CUOMO IS NOTHING BUT A HYPOCRITE
WHO IS NOW DEMANDING A DIFFERENT
STANDARD FOR HIM.
>> HE WAS CALLING FOR A
POLYGRAPH TEST.
I WONDER IF HE FEELS HE SHOULD
TAKE ONE NOW.
THIS IS GOVERNOR CUOMO ON THE
ALLEGATIONS YESTERDAY.
LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID AND GET YOUR REACTION.
YOUR REACTION.
>> I DID NOT DO WHAT HAS BEEN
ALLEGED.
I WON’T SPECULATE ABOUT PEOPLE’S
POSSIBLE MOTIVES.
THERE ARE MANY MOTIVATIONS FOR
MAKING AN ALLEGATION AND THAT IS
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THE FACTS
BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION.
PETE: YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> HE MADE DECISIONS BEFORE THE
FACTS WERE KNOWN IN OTHER CASES.
HE’S TRYING TO BUY TIME AND
SAYING LET’S WAIT UNTIL THE
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S
INVESTIGATION IS REPORTED.
I HAVE NEWS FOR ANDREW CUOMO.
GENERALLY SPEAKING THOSE
INVESTIGATIONS DON’T CLEAR OR
EXONERATE, THEY TEND TO DO THE
OPPOSITE.
DURING THE COURSE OF AN
INVESTIGATION OTHER EVIDENCE OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS OFTEN
REVEALED. IT IS INCRIMINATING.
IT IS INCRIMINATING.
IN THE END I WOULD SUGGEST THAT
IS GOING TO BE A LOT WORSE WHEN
THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CONCLUDES THE INVESTIGATION.
CONCLUDES THE INVESTIGATION.
AS A PRACTICAL MATTER ANDREW
CUOMO IS FINISHED, JUST DOESN’T
KNOW IT YET, HE HAS NO DEFENSES,
NO SUPPORTERS, PEOPLE WON’T EVEN
RETURN OR TAKE HIS TELEPHONE
CALLS, AND THE REASON IS SIMPLE.
HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BOOLEAN THE
POLITICAL -- MINISTER PEOPLE
WITH THREATS, INTIMIDATION AND
RETALIATION.
FOR YEARS THEY FEARED HIM BUT
THEY DON’T FEAR HIM ANYMORE,
BECAUSE HE’S NOW POWERLESS,
WEAKENED AND AS A LEADER HE IS
IMPORTANT.
SO I SUSPECT THINGS ARE GOING TO
TURN OUT BADLY FOR ANDREW CUOMO.
HE WILL LIKELY RESIGN ONE’S
CRITICAL MASS IS REACHED IN THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND HE
REALIZES NOT ONLY WILL HE BE
IMPEACHED BUT LIKELY BE CONVICTED SO I SUSPECT HE WILL
CONVICTED SO I SUSPECT HE WILL
RESIGN.
JEDEDIAH:’S APPROVAL NUMBERS ARE
SINKING, NOT SURE WHAT POLITICAL
