there in the white house where the border situation is boiling. a bipartisan compare of lawmakers, senator cornyn and congressman henry cuellar toured a detention facilities. the dhs denied their request to have cameras. we did hear a lot about the border from the president just moments ago. also today a victim of cancel culture? new york governor andrew cuomo says he's not going anywhere after an avalanche of calls for his resignation and a brand new explosive allegation. you have aoc calling for him to step down. how judiciary chairman jerry nadler and other new york democrats in congress all saying step down. >> people know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth. let the review proceed. i'm not going to resign. >> martha: so a republican congresswoman said that his day us are finished. attorney leo terrell joins us in minutes. first, bryan llenas who is covering this story live in new york. lots of breaking news on the cuomo story today. bryan, tell us the latest. >> martha, good afternoon. last count, 20 federal lawmakers from new york, that is the majority of new york's congressional delegation including some of the most prominent members are now calling for governor -- new york governor andrew cuomo to resign. representatives alexandria ocasio-cortez and jamal bowman, particularly zeroing in on the six accusers allegation that question know groped here. they said the fact that the latest report is so recent and alarming and raises concern about the staff. governor cuomo can no longer effectively lead. new york's representative jerry nadler, chairman of the house judiciary committee wrote this. "the question before us is squarely a political judgment. governor cuomo has lost the confidence of the people of new york. governor cuomo must resign." the majority of new york state lawmakers, 125, also calling for his resignation or impeachment. an impeachment investigation has been launched in the state assembly. cuomo says he's not going anywhere. >> i'm not going to resign. i was not elected by the politicians. i was elected by the people. politicians who don't know a single fact but yet form a conclusion and an opinion are in my opinion reckless and dangerous. >> meantime a seventh accuser has come forward. reporter jessica bakeman writing a first-person account of her experience as a reporter covering governor cuomo. she wrote in part, "andrew's hand hat been on my arms, the back, my waist. often enough that i didn't want to go to the albany press corp party. he uses sexual innuendo to stoke fear in us. that is the textbook definition of sexual harassment." martha, the governor said i never harassed anyone or abused anyone. i never assaulted anyone. martha? >> martha: thank you, bryan. bryan llenas in new york. my next guest has been calling on governor cuomo to resign a month now. she calls for an investigation into the covid death scandal at the nursing homes a year ago. let's bring in nicole from new york. good to have you with us, congresswoman. you have been out in front on this issue. what is your feel as a new york politician for where this is headed for the governor right now? >> i have to tell you, the democrats in new york have for the most part stuck together and now with this avalanche of them calling for his resignation, i feel the end is near. i feel that i have been alone a long time that when i said the way the governor mishandled the nursing home was wrong and criminal and needed to be an investigation. after that, we learned his own chief of staff admitted there was a cover-up, the attorney general had come up with a report saying he underreported the number of deaths and the patients put in the nursing home. after that he threatened a state legislature of his own party. i think that that in itself was reason for the governor to resign, which is why i called for his resignation at that time. now we're seeing lawmakers coming out and calling for his resignation because this is all compounded by now seven different women that have come forward saying the governor had sexually harassed them. the question that he did not answered a today's press conference was did he have what he would say was a consensual relationship with any of his staff members. that is completely inappropriate. they may view it as harassment. he may view it as a consensual relationship. so my question is for the governor, did you have a consensual relationship with anyone who was a member of your staff. if you did, you have to resign. this is corporate america, he would be gone already. i do believe that you're entitled into an investigation but we're talking about seven women now. my initial resignation was simply related to the nursing home scandal. >> martha: you know, the question was asked today in his telenews conference. he was taking phone calls from the press. somebody asked him what you just said. is there a misinterpretation here, did you consider the relationships to be consensual, were you in any romantic relationships? he refused to answer that question, congresswoman. no doubt there's going to be more to come on that. he says that he is a victim of politics and cancel culture. watch this. >> politicians take positions for all sorts of reasons, including political expediency and bowing to pressure. but people know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth. >> martha: what is your reaction to that? >> it's unbelievable. this guy has some nerve saying that he won't even take any responsibility or apologize to the families of 15,000 individuals that lost their lives due to his mismanagement and hen he tried to cover it up. he's been so quick to call for others to resign in similar situations, even those that have been accused by one accuser for sexual harassment. i can think of three that he had immediately called to resign. you know what? it's not the politicians that did elect him. that's why the people must make their voice heard. they need to call their state legislators and call their members of congress and apply pressure and go to enoughcuomo.com and add their name. he wants to see the people to call for him to resign. all the pressure he's receiving from editorial boards, members of congress, state legislators is irrelevant to him. so let the people speak out, speak out enoughcuomo.com. >> martha: thank you, nicole malliotakis. joining me now, leo terrell, civil rights attorney, fox new contributor and jessica tarlov. great to have you with us. leo, he said i have business to do and a budget i have to do, we have to get vaccinations out to the people of new york state. he said i've been under public scrutiny since i was 28 years odd. new yorkers know me and know the facts. what do you think about what is going on here? >> he's getting good legal advice. he's trying to change the narrative to focus on his job as governor. he's going to try to run out the clark. he's going to argue he's entitled to due process. let the investigation take place. so let's run out the clock. i think today was very clear to me, short of impeachment, he's not going to resign. he's trying to change the narrative. the question is can he change the narrative because we're in the court of public opinion. he believes that he can control it by ignoring it right now. that's how i saw his press conference. >> martha: leo, he does have the right to due process and there's two investigations going on. whether you think he's arrogant or a jerk or whoever, whatever word you want to use for him, he's entitled to that process. although he didn't want it for eric snyderman, the new york attorney general based on one article in a magazine that depicted heinous behavior, that was enough back then. he said you're out. he wants a different standard. >> he's a politician. he wants a different standard for himself. he's calling in all the markers. if they have an impeachment hearing, they have to interview the witnesses, go through the fact collection. so what he's expecting is to run out the clock. by having an impeachment hearing, there's investigation, collecting of evidence and that's what he's hoping for. 2022 is around the corner. he figures he can wait it out. short of impeachment, he's not going to resign. >> politically i get it and i think you're right, leo. jessica, you know, i've seen too many times both sides want to rob the other side of due process. democrats did it egregiously in the case of brett kavanaugh. hillary clinton, you had elizabeth warren, kristin gillibrand, kamala harris. all came after him before there was any due process afforded him. why are they standing by so silently in this case? >> i think after what we saw today from the new york delegation with more than half of congressional representatives and cuomo's home state and that includes progressives like alexandria ocasio-cortez and centrists like carolyn malone and jerry nadler calling on him to resign, there's no silence here. the white house released a statement in support of the investigation. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer caused the allegations nauseating. that's new yorkers and high ranking democrats speaking out. i agree with leo that doesn't seem like governor cuomo will go away from the office unless he's impeach. what i think he had the ability to do is to have his due process and also to focus on the issues at hand like getting new yorkers to vaccinate. step back and let the lieutenant governor sit in for him until the investigation is completed. that way he can say i understand the allegations, they're serious, i believe that the truth will come out and i'll be exonerated but i want to make sure that i'm prioritizing the citizens of new york. the best way to do that is to let the lieutenant governor stay in my place until the investigation is done. >> martha: i don't think there's much chance of that happening. leo, as an attorney, i want to play a sound bite for you. i'm not an attorney. if i were and i was listening to him say this, i would be wanting him to stop talking right now. play this about uncomfortable picture taking. >> i never took a picture with a person that said i'm uncomfortable and did it anyway. but yes, i can -- i apologized for people who i have taken pictures with and who after the fact said they were uncomfortable with that picture. >> martha: that was weird, leo. i'm not quite sure -- >> that was bad legal advice. whoever gave him that advice to say that was horrible. bad decision. you never try to justify bad conduct. i think what he did there is trying to justify conduct and the opinion of somebody that may be a victim. but i want to take one slight issue with jessica. please, let's be fair. martha, you can play clip after clip of kamala harris pounding justice kavanaugh and joe biden. their silence is deafening. it's wrong. it's hypocritical for the president and the vice president to not say this is wrong or show the same type of anger as they did with kavanaugh. this is disingenuous. >> martha: all right. i think, you know, you need to allow due process. i don't care if you're a republican or a democrat. anybody accused deserves to have an investigation play out. there needs to be a little patience in this process. it's a political pile-on for sure. the facts have to be investigated. thanks, jessica and leo. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> martha: right now, a pair of bipartisan lawmakers from texas are hosting a roundtable on the situation that they saw at the border today

he said this is a category 5 hurricane in the gulf with tropical storm force winds on the coast. he said it's coming. >> so as the meeting continues, hopefully we'll get some answers out of the press conference. what poliies can be put in place? i got an opportunity to talk to someone in the meeting. hector garza here from laredo. he's quite frustrated about the semantics over whether or not it's a crisis. listen to this. >> we want to make sure that we highlight there's a lot of unaccompanied children. we're seeing the units crossing the border illegally. >> the congressional visits, martha, don't end today on monday. house minority leader kevin mccarthy leading a dozen or so lawmakers to el paso, also under the gun dealing with the overwhelming numbers in the capacity issues getting out of control. martha? >> griff jenkins, thanks very much. joining me now, border patrol agent art del queto. he's worked the border 20 years. vice president of the national border patrol council. art, thanks for being with us today. i want to start by asking you if you can clear up what is being said from the white house on this. jen psaki, the spokesperson at the white house, says that most people who come to the border are turned away, adults, families in almost every scenario. is that what you see happening there? are people who are being confronted, being turned back around and sent home in most cases, most scenarios? >> martha, this is what is concerning. the media has done a fantastic job talking about it. hector garza just spoke about the numbers coming in. it's scary to hear the amount of unaccompanied juveniles and family units coming into the u.s. and being released. what is even scarier and more hectic that no one is really talking about is the number of got-aways. i can tell you here in tucson sector because agents are having to deal with the unaccompanied juveniles and the family units. year to date, just a guesstimate, they're looking at over 40,000 people that have gotten away. now, you can look at the numbers of what is being caught in texas, but you cannot ignore and you have to understand how scary it is when you're hearing over 40,000 people in this sector alone have got in the way. you don't know who they are, you don't know where they're coming from and you don't know their intentions while in the united states. >> martha: so you're saying they're wrong at the white house. people are not being overwhelmedly turned away? that people are being released or getting away into the united states, correct? >> the unaccompanied juveniles are staying in the united states. these family units are staying. my big issue and everyone's issue should be those individuals getting away, coming through, not being apprehended. >> martha: shocking. you know, i have to leave it there. hope you come back. it's a very complicated issue and it's amazing to see the cartel and the folks on our side just watching each other. thanks, art. good to have you here. we'll be back with more. we'll go to the white house where the president is set to depart for delaware after this. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa today, stronger immunity and better nutrition usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. are more important than ever. that's why eggland's best gives you and your family more. and t
