A bombshell New York Times piece alleging that Andrew Cuomo and his aides spent months hiding the true death toll from COVID-19 in nursing homes. You know, the scandal that many conservatives like myself have been talking about for months. Apparently, aides to the New York Governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, repeatedly overruled state health officials over a span of at least five months, according to interviews and newly unearthed documents. The actions coincided with a period in which Mr. Cuomo was pitching and writing a book about the pandemic and leadership. This is the one he was writing because he knew everything. He was made into a deity by the press. Turns out it was all a cover-up. And yet, between that and 9 credible accusations of sexual harassment, he s just fine. When s he going to face some accountability from the media? And when will the other investigations into him come to a head? I don t know, but maybe it s time to pay the piper. But it'd be nice to see those who pretend to be objective and pretend to do their jobs actually do their job. I guess we'll just have to wait and see where the investigation goes from here. -R.I.P.S. We ve been asking for it for months, and now we re getting it. -Eugene Sanguin' it. -JOSH MILLER - THE PODCASTING OF THE WEEK - THE FUTURE OF AUGMENTARY CRY? - JOSH'S BECAUSE HE'S NOT GETTING AN IDEA OF WHAT'S UP TO SOMETHER? -ANDYEAH? -AND NOW WE'LL HAVE A CHECK OUT THE PUNDLEVELY?! -AND YESTERDAY? - AND IT'S HAPPENING? -THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT? - WE'D BEYOND THAT'S OKAY? -BECAUSE I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT? - BUT MORE THAN THAT'LL BE YELLING AT ME AND YEAHOOO? - SO MUCH MORE? -NICE? -THEY'LL DO SOMETHOODY? ... -THAN ME'LL GET A PUT ME IN THE NEXT EPISODE? - - AND A PEDCAST? - MAYBE? - ETC? - YES, YES? - OKAY, KIDS? -

00:00:00.000 Well, guys, today we're going to talk Andrew Cuomo and this bombshell New York Times piece that came out on Wednesday, alleging that Cuomo and his aides spent months hiding the true death toll from COVID-19 in nursing homes.
00:00:17.000 You know, the scandal that many conservatives like myself have been talking about for months.
00:00:23.000 Apparently, aides to the New York governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, repeatedly prevented state health officials This is directly from the New York Times.
00:00:36.000 Again, not something that could be considered a moderate or conservative publication, but sort of the epitome of left-wing journalism.
00:00:45.000 So this is directly from the New York Times.
00:00:46.000 I'm reading from the piece right now, April 28th, 2021.
00:00:50.000 The effort by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's office to obscure the pandemic death toll in New York nursing homes was far greater than previously known, with AIDS repeatedly overruling state health officials over a span of at least five months, according to interviews and newly unearthed documents.
00:01:06.000 Mr. Cuomo's most senior aides engaged in sustained efforts to prevent the state's own health officials, including the commissioner, Howard Zucker, from releasing the true death toll to the public or sharing it with state lawmakers, these interviews and documents showed.
00:01:21.000 A scientific paper which incorporated data was never published.
00:01:26.000 An audit of the numbers by a top Cuomo aide was finished months before it became publicly known.
00:01:32.000 Two letters drafted by the Health Department and meant for state legislators were never sent.
00:01:38.000 The actions coincided with a period in which Mr.
00:01:42.000 Cuomo was pitching and writing a book on the pandemic and leadership.
00:01:48.000 This is the one he was writing because he knew everything.
00:01:50.000 He was made into a deity by the press.
00:01:53.000 Turns out it was all nonsense.
00:01:55.000 Turns out it was all a cover-up.
00:01:58.000 The number of nursing home residents, we're back to the New York Times article, who died in the pandemic, has been a particularly sensitive question for the Cuomo administration.
00:02:07.000 As the first wave hit New York in March of 2020, the administration put in place a policy to prevent nursing homes from turning away patients discharged from hospitals after treatment for COVID-19.
00:02:17.000 Some critics blamed the approach for the large number of resident deaths.
00:02:21.000 A death toll the administration then put at around 6,000.
00:02:25.000 But by the time the policy was rescinded, less than two months later, it became clear that not all the deaths were being included in the tally.
00:02:33.000 Those who died after treatment in the hospitals were not counted as nursing home deaths.
00:02:38.000 Lawmakers and others began asking for a complete count of all resident deaths, but the governor's aides said parsing the numbers was difficult because of fear of double counting, among other possible errors.
00:02:50.000 Give me a break, folks.
00:02:52.000 We knew this. We've been asking for it for months.
00:02:55.000 Where's the accountability?
00:02:57.000 Cuomo got to write a book about the pandemic and leadership.
00:03:01.000 He's been lauded as a deity despite having one of the worst records, literally, of any governor in the world.
00:03:07.000 He's leading the calls for the governors, I guess for the Biden administration, to talk about the COVID response.
00:03:14.000 And yet, between that and, I guess, nine credible accusations of sexual harassment, he's just fine.
00:03:21.000 When's he going to face some accountability from, I don't know, CNN? When's his brother going to maybe cover it?
00:03:27.000 You know, they can do the giant Q-tip shtick, you know, and make comedy and light of all of these things. 0.99
00:03:33.000 And I guess it's all okay.
00:03:35.000 As long as you're going after Donald Trump.
00:03:36.000 I actually got to give the New York Times credit for finally doing something and actually reporting on something that so many people like Janice Dean, whose parents were killed because of these decisions, Seemingly, have been rallying about for months.
00:03:51.000 This is not new news.
00:03:53.000 It's only being covered now.
00:03:55.000 I guess because they don't view Trump as the same factor.
00:03:57.000 So maybe it's time to pay the piper.
00:03:59.000 I doubt it. But it'd be nice to see.
00:04:01.000 It'd be nice to see those who pretend to be in the media and pretend to be objective actually doing their jobs.
00:04:07.000 Again, gotta give the credit to the New York Times this time.
00:04:10.000 Let's see where it goes.
00:04:11.000 Probably nowhere, just like the other investigations into Cuomo seem to be going.
