Tucker: If you don't think this is a conspiracy then you don’t know New York

[Music] good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight man the world is changing fast we say that often because it's true it's kaleidoscopic every morning you wake up in a brand new country and it's hard to keep track of the change because there are so few mile markers but here's one here's one measure of the change it was less than a year ago that millions of us gathered around our electronic hearths in anticipation of andrew cuomo receiving a coveted emmy award you remember that night even by the standards of fraudulent hollywood ceremonies it was a very weird moment as a rule politicians do not accept emmy awards that would require admitting that they're actors but andrew cuomo post-modern as he is had no problem with that he's been playing a character from the godfather for decades so he took it here are the highlight clips they played as andrew cuomo received his statuette flatten the curve flatten the curves flatten the curve we talk about social distancing slow the spread new york has been getting the short end of the stick from this federal government from day one right across the board let's stop just for one moment the partisanship flatten the curve flatten the curve flatten the curve it's iconic it's like go ahead and make my day or may the force be with you we'll never forget it it will live on forever in our common culture and so 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 and force talk about method acting for a second you could almost imagine andrew cuomo running a large american state sitting in his office in the capitol building making complex policy decisions about whatever they make complex policy decisions about barking urgent orders to aids like a governor it was a remarkable performance in fact looking back that night at the emmys last november was the apogee of andrew cuomo's career and he could have lived on it for years dining out mining the memories of his heyday playing progressively smaller venues doing an annual fan show in san diego but he chose not to andrew cuomo is wiser than that he's bigger he remembers well what happened to marlon brando when the godfather series ended the long decline so today andrew cuomo quit the business he left at the top of his game here's 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 he's so tough he's running away he's so tough he's quitting we've heard that claim a lot recently and you know watching that tape it is possible that we have sold andrew cuomo short we told you his emmy in november was the high point of his career but in fact what you just saw may have been the single greatest performance of his life i'm resigning he said not because i killed all those old people in nursing homes no not because my closest advisor went to federal prison for corruption nothing to do with it not because i've got a super creepy personal life and by the way it's entirely possible i am a made member of the mafia no not at all i'm resigning from my job because i love the state of new york and ladies and gentlemen that's what love does it resigns pretty remarkable really could al pacino have delivered those lines with a straight face no not a chance but instead of enjoying it the media missed it naturally they missed the art of it entirely they bought the whole thing they took it seriously they thought it was real today they're telling you that andrew cuomo's resignation is a watershed moment it's a win for the metoo movement it's a somber reminder the systemic misogyny that surrounds us on cnn they got completely carried away as they often do one particularly self-hating male anchor is there any other kind over there was so awestruck by andrew cuomo's speech that he immediately yielded the floor to the ladies to his female colleagues it would be wrong he said for a man to weigh in on news this grave that's how toxic andrew cuomo is intercom is a living embarrassment to men everywhere even the news readers who periodically identify as men on cnn that's what they're telling you now far be it for us on this show to defend andrew cuomo he is awful we've said that for years and we haven't changed our view but still since this is playing out in public it might be worth asking a couple of obvious questions before we move on to the next victim for example if andrew cuomo was harassing so many women and doing it at the state capitol in new york how come we just learned he was doing it andrew cuomo has been in office for almost 11 years lots of people say now that they knew he was a creep so why didn't they tell us before they certainly didn't instead they told us andrew cuomo was godlike do you remember that in case you don't remember it we have the tape governor cuomo out there day after day after day everything trump isn't honest direct brave even lifelong republicans tell me they look at cuomo and they're like god there's a leader for those of you who've been wondering why new york governor andrew cuomo has been garnering the nickname america's governor i think you saw it right there he is conveying incredible strength in the face of this pandemic maybe trump is just a little bit mad that governor cuomo has been kind of 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 about you the most turns out noted feminist icon joe scarborough liked the cut of andrew cuomo's 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 we should have picked him up but here's the most obvious sign america's most prolific hair sniffer was a massive fan of andrew cuomo's i mean of course he was these guys all know each other your governor new york's done one hell of a job he i think he's he's sort of the gold standard i mean look at the way you have governors like cuomo who are out there doing just keeping everybody informed all day i think he's doing an incredible job i think he has been the lead horse here i've talked to him frequently he's a friend uh i think he's doing a great job i really mean it he's the gold standard he's doing a great job he's a friend i really mean it and you know they all meant it until just about in fact precisely december of 2020. that's when a candidate for manhattan bureau president a woman called lindsey boylan wrote a twitter thread that accused andrew cuomo of quote harassing her sex harassment the crime according to boylan occurred more than two years earlier in 2018 but we hadn't heard about it so here's the first question why did lindsay boylan wait two years to tell us what had happened this guy is the governor of one of the most important states in the country so why didn't she pipe up before say before the emmy awards now we can't know the answer to that but it's clear that she picked a politically significant moment to share her allegations on twitter lindsey boyle went public almost 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 who's easier to control now if you think that's a conspiracy theory you don't 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 general's 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 elliot spitzer the guy who wore black socks all coming back to you and then he became governor oh so this is the kind of thing that happens in new york that's not exactly democracy it's like late ottoman but it's very common there could it be that's what's happening now well let's see the current attorney general of new york is a woman called letitia james now james does not hide her own political ambitions because you no longer have to nobody cares earlier this year she said that a.g you thought it meant attorney general no actually she said it stands for aspiring governor which she is even before she was elected to her current office which she is misused from day one james vowed to start a political investigation into donald trump's businesses in new york not because she had specific evidence they had broken the law she didn't she didn't even claim she did but because she didn't like him and she since followed through on that promise is that the kind of justice you want so there are reasons to question latisha james's motives to put it mildly and those doubts become far more pronounced if you become one of the three living americans who's actually read the 165-page report that she just produced on andrew cuomo the report that led to his resignation today now the closer you read that report the more you are likely to notice that large portions of it are absurd they don't make sense on page 148 for example latisha james accuses andrew cuomo of quote allowing senior staff members to sit on his lap at official functions now that sounds kind of creepy as hell actually and latisha james clearly thought it was she goes on to characterize lap sitting as evidence of quote a hostile work environment all right but if you go back to page 122 of the same report you will notice this line quote none of these senior staff reported feeling uncomfortable with this behavior oh so they liked sitting in andrew cuomo's lap weird but who are we to judge weirder things are happening right now so how is this harassment how is it a violation of the law she's 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 that's why she has the awesome power to do that which she must not un under any circumstances misuse or else it's a threat to all of us even those of us who loathe andrew cuomo but the report and you should read it maybe it's irrelevant now is full of lines like that the kind of inconsistencies you would expect if you're pleading reading say a political tract not a legal document but again it doesn't matter now because the report did its job now the race for a new governor of new york is underway boy that didn't take long candidates are lining up to unseat the lieutenant governor kathleen hoechel she set set to take over when cuomo was gone now leticia james is the first in line but she's not the only one in line al sharpton is in line so is new york mayor bill de blasio they're 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 he was a vicious partisan he was a thug but if we're being honest he was not completely insane he wasn't totally untethered from reality he acknowledged some limits to constitutional government he wasn't saying leticia james he wasn't al sharpton he wasn't even we're pausing to catch her breath here because it's so horrifying he wasn't 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 andrew cuomo's lap they may soon run the state of new york just so you know what's actually going on here hey sean hannity here hey click here to subscribe to fox news youtube page and
