Ben Shapiro makes major prediction on 'stunning' Cuomo report

CROOKS AND POWERFUL UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO GAIN FROM IT BEN SHAPIRO THE AUTHOR OF THE AUTHORITARIAN MOMENT HOW THE LEFT AUTHORIZED AGAINST THE -- BEN SHAPIRO JOINS US NOW. I WISH I WAS SURPRISED BY WHAT I SAW PLAY OUT IN FRONT OF US TODAY. AGAIN I LIVE IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA WHERE WE STILL HAVE GOVERNOR RALPH NORTHAM WHO LITERALLY EVERYONE CALLED ON TO RESIGN AND STILL THERE CAMPAIGNING ACROSS THE COUNTRY -- CAMPAIGNING ACROSS THE COUNTY TODAY FOR HIS WOULD BE SUCCESSOR. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU SAW TODAY FROM LETITIA JAMES AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON ANDREW CUOMO? >> GOVERNOR CUOMO CAME INTO OFFICE TO GRAB AS AND KILL THE ELDERLY HE IS ALL OUT OF THE ELDERLY. THE FACT THAT LETITIA JAMES LAID THOUGHT CASE ABOUT SHOWER. AND SEXUAL PRESSURE AND RETALIATORY WORK ENVIRONMENT AND ALL OF IT AND THEN SHE SAID AND I'M NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT KIND OF TELLS YOU HOW THIS IS ABOUT TO PLAY OUT. YOU WILL RECALL AS YOU JUST MENTIONED EVERYONE CALLED ON RALPH NORTHAM TO RESIGN AND JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGNING WITH RALPH NORTHAM. YOU EITHER DIE A HERO LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME A VILLAIN OR LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO CAMPAIGN AND FUND RAISE. >> Ben: ONE OF THE THINGS YOUR BOOK TOUCHES ON IS THE DEMAND PEOPLE HAVE IN THIS TIME TO HAVE MORE AUTHORITY FROM GOVERNMENT. EVEN AS THE FAITH IN INSTITUTIONS DECAYS THERE IS THIS ODD THING THAT HAPPENS WHEREAS WE HAVE SEEN YOU KNOW, HAPPEN IN MEXICO AND PLACES AROUND THE WORLD WHERE MORE AUTHORITY IS GIVEN TO THESE FOLKS WHO HAVE ALREADY SHOWN THEMSELVES COMPLETELY TERRIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO USING IT. YOU BELIEVE IN INSTANCE THAT CUOMO IS JUST GOING TO HOLD ON TO POWER AS HARD AS HE CAN AND JUST KEEP FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THIS, IGNORING WHAT BIDEN IS SAYING, IGNORING WHAT OTHER PARTY LEADERS ARE SAYING AND JUST, YOU KNOW, TAKING A LESSON THAT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THAT AUTHORITY YOU SHOULD NEVER GIVE IT UP? >> ABSOLUTELY. NO ONE WANTS TO BE AL FRANKEN AND LEFT OFFICE WHEN THEY COULD HAVE JUST STAYED AND LIVED IT THROUGH. I ACTUALLY THINK WHAT YOU ARE PROBABLY ABOUT TO SEE FROM GOVERNOR CUOMO IS WAG THE MASK SITUATION IN WHICH THE DELTA VARIANT IS USED AS AN EXCUSE FOR HIM TO PUSH NEW MEASURES THAT ARE REALLY AUTHORITARIAN IN NATURE AND THEN HE WILL BE CHEERED BY THE PRESS AGAIN FOR NOT BEING RON DESANTIS BECAUSE THERE REALLY HAVE A DESIRE BY A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE TO BE CONTROLLED FROM ABOVE EVEN IF THEIR LEADERS ARE CORRUPT AND VENAL AND TERRIBLE THE WAY GOVERNOR CUOMO IS ALL THIS CONTROVERSY IS NOT HOW HE KILLED HALF THE ELDERLY PEOPLE IN NEW YORK. THE DOJ ACTUALLY DROPPED ACTIVE INVESTIGATION INTO HIS COVER-UP OF THAT WE ARE JUST TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING WE HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME HE TREATS WOMEN HORRIBLY. THE FACT FOR CUOMO IF HE WISHES TO WE GAIN ANY SENSE OF POPULARITY AND CREDIBILITY. MY GUESS IS THAT HE IS GOING TO GO BIG AGAIN ONCE MORE ON COVID. >> YOU KNOW HOW CORRUPT THE MEDIA IS WHEN IT COMES TO COVERING THESE TYPE OF SITUATIONS OR POLITICIANS OF THE IDEOLOGICAL VIEWS THAT THEY HAVE OR CLOSE ENOUGH TO IT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PARTY LETTER AFTER THEIR NAME. I KNOW IN NORTHAM'S CASE AS SOON AS IT BECAME APPARENT HE WASN'T GOING TO BE REPLACED. HE WASN'T GOING TO BE STANDING DOWN THE MEDIA ESSENTIALLY WENT SILENT AND PRETENDED THIS WASN'T SOMETHING THEY NEEDED TO BE ASKING ABOUT. DO YOU EXPECT DEMOCRATS TO ACTUALLY HAVE TO ANSWER FOR WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITH ANDREW CUOMO IN THE COMING WEEKS OR DO YOU BELIEVE SIMILARLY THE LAST TIME AROUND CERTAINLY KNOWING HIS CONNECTIONS OVER AT CNN THAT HE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THAT KIND OF MEDIA PRESSURE? >> >> NO IT WILL BE ONE NEWS CYCLE AND GONE. I WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME THING. ALL WE HAVE TO DO TO FIGURE IT OUT WATCH THE HUMAN WIND SOCK KRISTIN GILLIBRAND AND SHE WILL TELL US IN A COUPLE WEEKS WHETHER IT HAS BLOWN OVER. >> Ben: YOUR BOOK IS INTERESTING AND TIMELY ONE IT SPEAKS TO ALL THE THINGS WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT IN THIS PANDEMIC. THAT AMERICA IS GOING TO INVEST EVEN MORE AUTHORITY IN OUR GOVERNMENTAL LEADERS WHO HAVE SHOWN THEMSELVES SO INCAPABLE OF RISING TO THIS MOMENT AND SO TERRIBLE AT ACTUALLY PUTTING FORTH POLICIES THAT MADE THINGS BETTER IN SO MANY INSTANCES. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THIS ATHORN IMPULSE AS WE SEE IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY? WHAT CAN INDIVIDUALS DO IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND STATES TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN? >> WE REALLY DO NEED TO BAND TOGETHER AT THIS POINT. THERE IS NO QUESTION IF WE GET TOGETHER TOGETHER WITH OUR AL THRICE WE DO FORMULATE THE MAJORITY. I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN A VERY HARD CORE MINORITY OF LEFT WINGERS WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COW PEOPLE INTO SILENCE AND MOVE FORWARD INCREMENTALLY. A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF PLIGHTNESS AND APATHY HAVE DONE NOTHING. THE BLOW BACK IS COMING
