00:00:00.000 Yes, Sean, it's sort of amazing.

00:00:02.000 They don't talk about the hospital Ship Mercy that was also sitting in New York Harbor vacant so that Andrew Cuomo could send your grandmother back into a nursing home infected or amongst other infected people that led to the deaths of thousands of people.

00:00:14.000 That's the insanity of the left today.

00:00:18.000 You know, honestly, that is probably the bigger scandal, although it seems like perhaps the Democrats are sweeping them under the rug in lieu now of The accusations against our groper in chief as governor of New York.

00:00:32.000 It's sort of amazing because on today as International Women's Day, I was beginning to think that the left don't actually believe all women.

00:00:41.000 I sort of feel like they were going to give a pass to Democrat congresspeople.

00:00:45.000 The person you mentioned earlier, Andrea Stewart-Cousins, last week she actually said, well, If another accuser comes out, then he should resign.

00:00:55.000 Now, bear in mind, three had already done it, so I guess if you're a Democrat governor, you get that kind of leeway.

00:01:02.000 The left is really busy spending a lot of time trying to cancel characters, cartoons, like Pepe Le Pew, when they could be actually trying to cancel people who are actually behaving like Pepe Le Pew times 10, and that happens to be the governor of New York.

00:01:18.000 This kind of stuff is disgusting, Sean.

00:01:20.000 It's gone on too long. 0.94

00:01:22.000 The Democrats get a pass.

00:01:24.000 Those passes are a one-way street.

00:01:26.000 They only go towards Democrats.

00:01:28.000 If this was a Republican in this situation, whether it was one scandal, both scandals, a fraction of those scandals, this thing would have been over a long time ago.

00:01:38.000 But Andrew Cuomo gets to get away with it.

00:01:40.000 If you look at the people Who have accused them?

00:01:42.000 They're all tied to the Democrat Party mechanism in New York, it seems to me.

00:01:47.000 How many more are there, Sean?

00:01:49.000 How many more are there that are just afraid to come forward because it would be damaging to their career in Democrat politics?

00:01:56.000 I understand that. There would be reprisals.

00:01:58.000 You think that people in the quo machine won't go after those people? 0.89

00:02:02.000 I can almost guarantee you that there are a lot more that are just either afraid to come out for those reprisals or don't want to do Damage to the Democrat Party in New York, which is about as corrupted and ridiculous as it gets, and we're seeing that with our very own eyes.

00:02:18.000 The media made this guy a hero. 0.85

00:02:20.000 They made him a deity.

00:02:22.000 He was literally 49 or 50 out of 50 states in terms of performance, and yet, because he was willing to talk poorly about my father, they gave him a throne and a specter, and they let him do his thing.

00:02:34.000 It was a joke, and it was a sham, and I think we're starting to realize that now.

00:02:39.000 You know what we're not hearing, Don?

00:02:40.000 We're not hearing, I believe.

00:02:43.000 Finally, some Democrats have been shamed into saying, oh, this is serious, but we've got to give due process.

00:02:49.000 They didn't give it to your father.

00:02:51.000 They would never give it to anybody with the last name Trump, let's be honest.

00:02:54.000 They didn't give it to Brett Kavanaugh.

00:02:56.000 Let me ask you, throw out a question, and I know it's a hard state.

00:03:01.000 Would you ever consider running for governor of New York?

00:03:09.000 By the way, that's kind of mission impossible.

00:03:12.000 Yeah, now, listen, I think you need someone who's a fighter.

00:03:17.000 I just have no interest in that job.

00:03:19.000 I think that would be like the tortures of the damned.

00:03:22.000 So, you know, the answer is no for me, but I'd love to see someone who's actually willing to fight, someone who would actually take that on.

00:03:29.000 If you look at what's going on in the city, it's a disgrace.

00:03:33.000 Greatest city in the world.

00:03:34.000 It's like a zombie apocalypse happened.

00:03:38.000 I feel like I'm watching I Am Legend when I go to work.

00:03:41.000 It's disgraceful.

00:03:42.000 And what they did, destroying businesses.

00:03:45.000 If COVID disappeared tomorrow, Sean, and you flipped on the switch, it would take Probably a decade for New York to get back to the way it was, and it's because of incompetence.

00:03:55.000 Not because of anything else, and we know that because we've seen states like Texas and Florida be able to behave competently and not destroy their economies in the process.

00:04:06.000 Alright, Don Jr., always good to have you.
