Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and 'The Hill' columnist Joe Concha discuss the embattled governor on 'Hannity'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Cover it up and get a book deal
all right, Gregg. Thank you
also tonight, while many on the
left are suddenly eager to
denounce Andrew Cuomo, others,
just cant shake their deep
affection for the New York
embattled governor
today, a likely teary Eyed Alan
Baldwin bravely tweeting,
regardless of what you think of
Cuomo. This is a tragic day
party politics in this country
draw ambitious, but ultimately
isolating even socially
maladjusted men and women who
have given the current cancel
cultural likely have their
shortcomings, exposed and
magnified.
I wonder if Alec Baldwin would
offer a similar level of
compassion for Donald Trump or
any Republican.
Just asking the question.
Meanwhile, dont call it a
comeback.
We have Nbcs Chuck Todd who is
already plotting
governor Cuomos return to
public life.
He things it can happen.
Take a look
part of the punishment he was
convicted in an impeachment
trial, wouldve been no longer
being able to serve in office in
the state of New York.
I think Cuomo believes he can
live another day.
His career was either
permanently over our almost
permanently over and he chose
the path of almost permanently
over. The resignation gives him
we know the way our world works,
its amazing, the people we have
seen make political comebacks.
You can never rule out
Eliot Spitzer didnt.
He get a job on fake news. Cnn.
I dont remember
not to be outdone. The face of
the Washington Post, Jennifer
Rubin, sidestepped, Cuomos
resignation, Slaney New York, is
about to have its first woman,
Governor Evers
New Yorks Lieutenant
governor will take over for
Cuomo in two weeks
here with Reaction Fox NEWS,
senior meteorologist,
Janice Dean.
She has tirelessly worked to
hold Andrew Cuomo Accountable
ever since her own in laws.
Thats right, father and
mother in law died from Covid 19
in this nursing home scandal,
along with Fox NEWS contributor,
Joe Concha
Fox NEWS contributor, former
Arkansas Governor
MIKE Huckabee
Janice, well start with you,
you were as surprised, and then
you actually need to comment
that you never thought this day
would happen.
You are in a state of shock.
You thought it was some divine
intervention and hes going to
blame everybody else. Today.
I really did
I thought he was going to follow
his own playbook, which is blame.
Blame blame.
The New York Post and
Fox NEWS, God mother, nature,
the women,
not him, of course,
just a misunderstanding from
these women who we groped
thats what I thought he was
going to do today
and then he started to say. Well,
you know I want new Yorkers to
be tough and I love new Yorkers
and I love this states. I think,
instead of an impeachment im
going to resign,
I was shocked but ill. Tell you
this.
Yesterday we had all Morel for
my in laws.
Finally, after after a year and a
half and not evil to have a wake
or funeral or last rites or see
them before they died, and we had
it at Shawns fathers,
firehouse three hundred and twenty three
for twenty three years he was a
firefighter
my husband said: wouldnt, it be
interesting if the governor
resigned today,
we thought about it
that happened today, but I am
grateful because yesterday was
about my in laws, and I didnt
wanted to to be about
Andrew Cuomo
interesting points
governor as you look at this
from not just a political
standpoint, but the legal case
that Gregg Jarrett, very
articulately, laid out on a whole
series of issues. That, to me, is
the vulnerability now
Andrew Cuomo,
I knew it was pretty inevitable
when every Democrat in New York
condemned him then walked away
from him.
I am that pretty much he didnt
have any friends by the end of
it.
He didnt have many friends for
years. Apparently
the question is: do you see the
Department of Justice doing
their job?
Do you think the people of
New York are capable of equal
justice and application of our
laws?
Let me first of all just say
to Janice im so glad that
there has been at least a piece
of justice, not full justice,
a piece of it,
even though it has not been
adjudicated yet about the
nursing home deaths in the
cover up of the nursing home
deaths, thank God for
Janice Dean and her relentless
pursuit of the truth.
Without her, I dont think this
day would have happened
by the way governor.
Let me add to that.
I want to say I agree with you,
but I will tell you we have to
get to the nursing home issue.
This has to be gotten to the
bottom of,
and, I think, theres more than
the nursing home issue.
There is also did his staff
help write that book, for which
he was paid over five dollars million
thats a major scandal,
theres a lot of things and I
dont the National Department of
Justice at the Washington level
will do anything.
I just dont think Joe Bidens
Doj is going to pursue him
heres. What I think might
happen
it may happen in New York
between the legislature and the
attorney General
Heres, why
Andrew Cuomo, he has spent years
making enemies,
they were afraid to fight back
by keeping much just rained on
Everybodys parade.
He was a bully
thats why he got away with this
with women so long,
if, in fact, everything they
said is true
because they were afraid afraid
of him
theyre not anymore, and nobody
is
not the legislators,
the other officials.
This idea that he may come back,
thats nonsense,
theres a silver bullet in it a
stake in the heart.
This is a vampire that will not
come back out at night.
I think there could be some
serious repercussions that will
happen in New York, but not at
the federal level. Unfortunately
Joe whats, your take
on it.
Let me first condemn
Janice Dean as well.
She was alone vessel more than a
year ago, in the spring of twenty twenty
talking about the nursing home
scandal, when very few in the
media, wouldnt im old enough to
remember a spokesperson for
Andrew Cuomo, going after
Janice Dean directly, someone
who lost her in laws saying
stick to the weather. Please
guess whos getting the last
laugh now
Janice great job sticking with
that when very few in this
business would do that in
standing up for your principles
and knowing what was right
as for Chuck Todd, only the
political director of NBC News
and the moderator of Meet the
press.
How could he make this statement?
Sober
Cuomo eventually did something
that maybe over time will at
least give him an opening to may
be not be a full pariah say
and three four or five years,
and perhaps he can make a
comeback
in opening, where exactly
as president of the raccoon
Lodge
governor of the rings for
seniors Association,
Andrew Cuomo, thirty, two thousand and twenty very few
political allies
still an ongoing investigation
for the nursing home scandal,
sexual harassment allegations
from eleven women dont vanish.
They are sticky
Chuck Todd. Has a comeback could
happen
that sound you just heard
thats the great TIM Russert
rolling over in his grave
youre, not going to see
Andrew Cuomo running and winning
anything ever again.
It cant happen, given everything
we just laid out,
he could be charged criminally
in bed the time this is all
done,
Janice its
appropriate. We give you the last
word
I like what the governor said
and Joe said. He still lost your
in laws.
What you went through this week
sounds awful.
My question is: what was your
reaction at Joe Biden saying
hell of a job he did
that came out of nowhere to me.
I thought it was a tape from
last year when he was wanting
Cuomo to be his AG.
I couldnt believe that it was
from today.
I would like President Joe Biden
or Jen Psaki to give me a call,
and I will give them a rundown
of all the things this governor
did wrong, that led to the deaths
of thousands of seniors and may
be, if they listen to that, they
might have a different opinion.
Tens of thousands
when relook at the four states
that followed his lead,
he was first.
Then you have Pennsylvania and.
