attention in terms of reaction from one of the accuser herself. bennett addressed the video calling it fake, saying it was inappropriate, unnecessary, and i believe in her words downright weird. look, you have a governor who almost two years to the day signed a law, the strongest law in any state in the united states, to help women file claims of sexual harassment and now we re learning from this report that a day later he harasses a state trooper, according to latisha james report. the larger point to be made i think weekly is that this was a taxpayer funded video which charlotte bennett called, quote, propaganda, in which the governor continues to call her a liar in the video. so i mean, it s a continuation i think of what the report laid out as egregious aggression. howie: even the liberal talking points of memo said cuomo wants
union for interviewing the executive assistant number one. here s why. we learned from the report that when melissa derosa, cuomo s top aide, the one that leaked confidential files to reporters to discredit lindsey boilen, the first accuser that came forward, the report finding had that unlawful retaliation. the executive assistant participated with the aide, melissa derosa in whiting out some names before the report on boilen could be released. she then accuses of course the governor of groping her, reaching under her blouse and touching her breast and so i think the role that the media has now is to make sure that every single stonies overturned, that everything comes forward and to use their i think fundamental role which is to be the fourth estate to hold governors and governments accountable. shine a light. howie: it may well be that
there s a lot of moving targets that we deal with today. tomorrow we have executive assistant number one to an drew cuomo going public in the interview, the senate is debating the infrastructure bill. we ll watch all that for you and i ll be talking about it jupe online,on the podcast. we re back here next sunday, you know the time, 11:00 eastern. we ll see you then with the latest buzz. (burke) deep-sea driving, i see. (customer) something like that. (burke) well, here s something else: with your farmer s policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. (customer) that is something else. (burke) get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum this isn t just a walk up the stairs. when you have an irregular heartbeat, it s more. it s dignity. the freedom to go where you want, knowing your doctor can watch over your heart.
and i read the appendix as well which is kind of scary stuff. howie: of course, it s an investigation that he asked for because now he s attacking the investigation. last question, i ve got about a minute. now that the other democrats are coming out, when it s people like bill de blasio the new york mayor, saying yes, cuomo should he resign today and he should be tarred and a feathered and all that. does the press have a responsibility to say some of this is payback for the relations an threats that governor cuomo issued even against some of his nominal allies. yeah. and if you read the new york post where i have an affiliation with them, i m a columnist for them, people have been saying that and i think it s listen, none of these guys are perfect. think about bill de blasio, talk about people in glass houses, you know, you mismanaged the city during the summer of love last year where we were having riots and downtown manhattan was being ransacked is calling on
somehow perfect avatars of everything we would like to see in leadership parties. it s a reminder we should not put these people on such a pet pedestal that you ignore the capacity they have to do sometimes terrible things, things that we have to be honest about as opposed to pretending and waving our hands away as if that doesn t matter because of which side of the political spec spectrum they re on. howie: i think it s a great point. it wasn t like the president didn t know about this side of the governor s personality. top editors said he screamed at them when they ran a story he didn t like and they refused to talk to him off the record. we talked about the attorney general s report. it he focused on top aides enabling behavior, trying to keep him away from being alone with certain women, a couple saying they would be fired for doing anything like that. so it wasn t just andrew cuomo but it was the people around the governor. listen, i think ben s point about whether or not the m
