Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson tonight, man, the world is changing fast. We say that often because its true its kaleidoscopic every morning we wake up in a brand new country and its hard to keep track of the change, because there are so few mile markers but Heres one heres, one measure of the change. It was less than a year ago that millions of us gathered around our electronic hearts in anticipation of Andrew Cuomo receiving a coveted Emmy award Jim ever that night, even by the standards of fraudulent. As a rule, all editions do not accept Emmy awards that would require admitting that they are actors but Andrew Cuomo postmodernist. He is had no problem. Hes been playing a character from the godfather for decades. You are the highlight clips that

they played as Andrew Cuomo received his statuette flatten the curve flat liquor. We talk about social distancing, New York is been getting the short end of the stick for this federal government from day. One right across the board lets stop just for one moment: the partisanship flatten the curve flatten the curve flatten the curve, its iconic its like go ahead and make my day or may the force be with you. We will never forget it. It will live on forever in our common culture. As you can see why Andrew Cuomo won best performance by a sitting governor such passion such intensity, the delivery seemed almost lifelike in its sincerity, talk about method acting for. Second, you can all most imagine enter running a large american state sitting in his office in the capitol building making Compex policy decisions about whatever they make complex policy decisions about barking,

urgent orders to aid like a governor. It was a remarkable performance. In fact, looking back that night at the Emmys last November was the effigy of Andrew Cuomos Career and you could have lived on it for years, dining out mining, the memories of his hated playing progressively smaller venues. Doing an annual fan show in San Diego, but he chose not to Andrew Cuomo, is wiser than that hes bigger humor members. Well, what happened to Marlon Brando when the godfather series ended the long decline? If so, today, Andrew Cuomo quit TH business, he left at the top of his game Heres his announcement wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that state government should be doing, and I cannot be the cause of that New York. Tough means New York loving and I love New York, and I love you and everything I

have ever done has been motivated by that love, and I would never want to be unhelpful in any way, and I think that, given the circumstances, the best way I can help now is, if I step aside and let government get back to governing hes, so tough hes running away hes, so tough hes quitting with word that claim a lot recently and watching that tape. It is possible. We have sold Andrew Cuomo Short, we told you his enemy in November was the high point of his career, but in fact what you meant just saw may have been the single greatest performance of his life im resigning, not because I killed all those old people in nursing homes. No because my closeness advisor went to federal person for corruption, nothing to do with it, not because I have a soupy creepy personally. By the way, it is an entirely possible that I am a made member of the mafia, not at all im resigning from my job, because I love the state of New York.

If, ladies and gentlemen thats, what love does it resigns? Pretty remarkable? Could Al Pacino have delivered those lines with a straight face, not a chance? Instead of enjoying it, they media missed the art of it. They took it seriously. They thought it was real. Today, theyre telling you that Andrew Cuomos resignation is a watershed moment, its a win forth, the Metoo movement, a somber, remind reminder on CNN. They got complete the carrot away, as they often do, and particularly self hating male anchor. Is there any other kind over? There was so awestruck by Andrew Cuomos speech that he immediately yielded the floor to the ladies coming to his female colleagues. It would be wrong. He said, for a man to weigh in on news this great thats how toxic Andrew Cuomo is buried. Andrew Cuomo is a living investment to men everywhere, even newsreaders, who periodically identify as men on CNN thats. What theyre telling you now far be it for us on the

show to defend Andrew Cuomo. It is awful weve said that for years and we havent changed our view. Havent changed our view, but still it might be worth asking obvious questions before we move onto the next victim. For example, if enter was harassing someone he women enjoying the state capital in New York. How can we just learned hes been doing it? Andrew Cuomo has been in office for almost eleven years. Watts of people say now they knew he was a creep. They knew before they certainly didnt. They told us that enter was God like in case you dont, remember it. We have the tape Governor Cuomo out there day after day after day, everything Trump isnt, honest, direct, brave, even lifelong Republicans, tell me they look at Cuomo. They are, like God, theres a leader for those of you who have been wondering why New York governor, enter Cuomo has been garnering, the nickname Americas governor. I think he saw it

right there. He is conveying incredible strength in the face of this pandemic may be, Trump is just a little bit mad. The governor Cuomo has become a kind of acting president. I hope you are able to appreciate what you did in your state and what it means for the rest of the country now and what it will always mean to those who love and care, but you, the most turns out noted feminist icon, Joe Scarborough liked the cut of Andrew Cuomos JIB and honestly, that should have been a tip right there. The race, lady, was a fan too. In retrospect, those were pretty clear signs. He should have picked him up, but Heres the most obvious sign Americas, most prolific Harris, never was a massive fan of Andrew Cuomo. Of course it was these guys all know. Each others, youre governor of New York, is done. One hell of a job sort of a gold standard. Look at what you have governors like Cuomo, more out there doing just keeping everybody informed all day, I think, is doing an incredible job. I think he has been the lead

horse here. I talked infrequently hes a friend. I think is doing a great job. I really mean it hes a friend. I really mean it. They all meant it until just about precisely December of two thousand and twenty thats. When a candidate from Manhattan Bureau president, a woman called Lindsay, Boylan wrote a twitter thread that accused Andrew Cuomo of harassing her sexual harassment. The crime occurred more than two years earlier in two thousand and eighteen, but we hadnt heard about it. If there is first question, why did Lindsay Boylan wait two year to tell us what happened this guys, the governor of one of the most important states in the country? So why didnt she pipe up before say before the Emmy awards? We cant know the answer to that, but its clear she picked a significant moment to share her allegations on Twitter. She went public most immediately after the news media called the presidential race for Joe Biden. Oh,

could it be that the second that call was made Andrew Cuomo had outlived his usefulness and it might be time to crush him and move on to someone whos easier to control. If you think thats a conspiracy theory, you dont live in New York, where that kind of thinking is common. The state of New York has a long history of palace, coups and many of them, a disturbingly large number originated in the attorney generals office. In fact, Andrew Cuomo once did it. He was the attorney general of New York. Remember that he used his office to investigate his boss at the time Eliot Spitzer, the guy who wore black socks all coming back to you, and then he became governor. So this is the kind of thing that happens in New York: thats, not exec, with democracy its like late autumn and but its very common there could that be whats happening now. The current attorney general of New York as a woman called Letitia James James, does not hide her own political emissions because he no longer have to come and only cares earlier. This year she said that

AG. He thought it meant attorney general. Actually, she said it stands for aspiring governor, which she is even before she was elected to her current office, which she has missed used from day, one James about to start a political investigation against Donald trumps businesses in New York, not because you have specific evidence that they had broken the law she didnt, she didnt claim she did, but because she didnt like him, she sense followed through on that promise. Is that the kind of justice you want? So there are reasons to question Letitia James Motives, to put it mildly, and those doubts become far more pronounced. If you become one of the three living Americans who has actually read the one hundred and sixty five page report that she just produced on Andrew Cuomo, the report that led to his resignation today, the closer you read that report, the more you are likely to notice that large portions of it are absurd. They dont make sense on page one hundred and forty eight for exam Letitia James accuses Andrew Cuomo of allowing senior staff members who sit on his lap

at official functions that sounds kind of creepy as hell actually end. James Chloe thought it was. She was characterizing lap sitting as evidence of a hostile work environment all right. But if you go back to page one hundred and twenty two of the same report, you will notice this line. None of the senior staff reported feeling uncomfortable with his behavior, so they liked sitting in Andrew Cuomos lap weird. But who are we to judge Wheeler things are happening right now. How is this harassment? How was this a violation of the law? Shes, the attorney general. Her job is not to pass moral judgment on the occupants of high office in New York, but to enforce the laws passed by the legislature, thats what she has the awesome power to do that which she must not under any circumstances, misuse or else its a threat to all of us, even those of us who load Andrew Cuomo, but the report- and you should read it because its relevant now is full of lines like that, the kind of inconsistencies you

would expect, if you were reading, say a political tract, not a legal document, but again it doesnt matter now, because the report did its job. Now the race for a new governor of New York is underway boy that didnt take long candidates are lining up to unseat. The lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul she is set to take over Cuomo is gone. Letitia James is first in line, which is not the only one in line Al Sharpton is line, so is Bill De Blasio. They are both planning to run for governor. We read so do you see how this works? Andrew Cuomo was an awful governor. It pains us to raise any voice in his defense. It was a vicious partisan. He was a thug, but if we are being honest, he was not completely insane it wasnt totally untethered from reality. He acknowledged some limits to constitutional government. He wasnt say Letitia James, he wasnt Al Sharpton. He wasnt even pause and catch a breath there, because its so horrifying. He wasnt even

bill De Blasio, the most reckless and incompetent human being ever to hold elected office, a man who single handedly discredits the idea of self government. These people, just being honest, are worse than Andrew Cuomo, but because someone sat in.
