with a bottle in his hand. he was spotted as a seventh woman comes forward with allegations against him. detailed alleged instances of unwanted touching and humiliation by the governor. >> 24 new york congressman including chuck schumer, kirsten gillibrand and alexandria ocasio cortez are demanding cuomo reside. they join 135 state lawmakers which is enough to impeach. we are here with pete texas, will cain, these are astounding numbers we are seeing, 7 people, plenty of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle coming forward saying it is time. maybe he should take a polygraph which he suggested brett kavanaugh do. or face accountability, the funniest part of this is blaming cancel culture, pulling words -- cancel culture, not what i did but cancel culture, it is laughable at this point. >> at this point i don't like trial by media. you are innocent until proven guilty, investigations should happen. i don't like those aspects of it. at the same time this is a power moment for andrew cuomo, can he survive, how far does he fight. one of the cutest tweeted in the deleted tweet what it all comes down to. it calls into question the judgment and courage of potus and kamala harris. at the end of one of them saying if kamala harris was coming out against other accusers in other instances, brett cavanagh, where is she on this when and where is joe biden, all of new york is against governor cuomo, even his own party but what does the head of the party think about the situation. >> i share your concern about trial by media and accusations and to listen of evidence for conviction, we in the public coming to conclusions but that's not a standard andrew cuomo or joe biden or kamala harris have live up to in the past most notably when it came to brett kavanaugh so it does draw into question the two senators of new york called for governor cuomo's resignation where is the president of the united states and the vice president? janice dean tweeted the only way new york governor cuomo goes is if joe biden says he must go. >> it is important to remember kamala harris made a moment for herself in the brett kavanaugh hearings, she was brutal against him and said things like i believe her pretty early on. how do you have that separate set of standards. it's not lost on me that brett kavanaugh was in senate hearings, a supreme court justice position, i understand that but that doesn't make the charges of sexual harassment any different. they are a little different, many accusers here and these are aids and recent instances as opposed to things that happened back in the day where the person who was making the claims can't seem to piece together her own story so there are some differences but if you care about sexual harassment charges and are the type of first and who doesn't wait for the evidence, i'm not but some of those political figures are then that should be universal across the board. interesting to see the double standard that has been applied hearing whether or not kamala harris will have something to say about this and whether she will stay quiet and for how long. molly hemingway weighed in on this and the reason she believes democrats are calling on cuomo to resign right now. this is from special report. >> a lot of people in the media and the democrats are calling on him to resign so they don't have to deal with the fact that the real scandal is how he handled the coronavirus. they spent so long praising him as if he has done good things when he was a very bad leader who made bad decisions. they are hoping to get rid of him on the sexual assault allegations rather than face responsibility for how they were all involved in his nursing home scandal. >> the nursing home crisis is the crisis no one wants to talk about. it cannot be shoved to the side. matt gates pointed out andrew cuomo serve the purpose many people needed, he was there counterpoint with donald trump, he was a hero to their donald trump as a villain. he no longer serves that purpose, donald trump is not there and they don't need andrew cuomo. they can now sell him out. the secondary crisis which should be the primary crisis, the nursing home crisis cannot be forgotten. another story that won't be forgotten is the crisis at the border and it is a crisis, mounting crisis, a storm that is gathering as numbers project to go up over the coming months. senator john cornyn of texas had this is another crisis the democrats hope is pushed to the sidelines even calling it a controversy or concern, anything but a crisis. >> you heard it described in a number of ways, the director of homeland security said it was a challenge, not a crisis. one of the people there responsible for taking care of these unaccompanied minors were being processed at that facility said this is a category 5 hurricane in the gulf with topical storm force windss on the coast. it is coming. everybody i have heard from today said this is just the beginning, and things are going to get much much worse unless we step up and do something about it. >> just the beginning and only one demarcation point you can point to where this started, the welcome mat that was the biden administration but henry cuellar went with john cornyn to the border to talk about are one of the points he made is when the biden administration went to the border or their representative did to look at what happened they didn't talk to anybody, they didn't talk to border patrol agents, to talk to people who were affected to live near the border. they got briefed, like when members of congress go to war zones and get briefings from the generals of officially what is happening but not talking to people and what they are feeling, that's the voice you need to hear. border patrol agents or what griff jenkins is doing on the border you get the real deal. it is out of control and the administration doesn't have a plan. jedediah: i'm hearing a lot from democrats, chuck schumer being the latest example, trump made a big mess and we are going to take some time to clean it up. give us a minute and a these people are arriving right now in this very moment, this is now president biden's watch that this is happening on. this is not the trump administration anymore and these people have been incentivized to come here under the promise that they would be allowed in. all sorts of promises have been extended so this is now a biden problem. i don't want to hear it blamed on a former administration. the question is what are you going to do about what is happening on your watch in this moment right now and it deserves an answer particularly for people living in those border towns, those cities who are really concerned about the spread of covid-19 and a lot of things that are going on, can these people be housed in these facilities. are they going to be overwhelmed, these are valid questions that deserve answering. we will cover a lot more of that in the next few hours that we head to another story because the cdc is providing updated guidance for childcare centers stressing the importance of now swearing for children to end up. mark meredith with the department of education reveals aggressive plans to reopen schools. what is the latest on that? >> most parents going back to work, the government is going to release a plan to the kids daycare facilities can get back open, the cdc releasing new guidelines for childcare centers, suggesting facility staggered drop-off and pickup times, phaseout toys and nap spaces and screen anyone going into the buildings for possible covid-19 exposure. >> the updated guidance emphasizing the importance of mask wearing, all children older than 2 years old and all staff except the when eating. >> in a report backs up what many parents of said for months that remote learning is hurting their kids mental health. a new study from the right-leaning american enterprise institute says they need to weigh the consequences of prolonged closures. >> rising cases mental health illness, concerns about suicide and declining academic problems that are difficult for students to overcome. >> the administration working on a few steps including the national school summit later this month and the clearinghouse of best practices schools have been using and more guidelines for district schools and educators going forward. governors in oregon and washington announced plans to start offering in person learning starting in april. many parents say it is the best news they've heard in months. pete:it took a covid-19 relief bill to convene a summit. that whole report addressing it, the substance, look, are we not doing this already, thus far and meeting groups of people to figure out if we can open day care centers or kindergartens? it is obscene. it has been in front of us the entire time. talking about the fourth of july, the rest of us are barbecueing, where have you been? we are ready to open, not waiting for the fourth of july. we should have long ago opened schools. this is one of the greatest policy blunders, that is not even strong enough, worst decisions we have seen in decades to keep schools closed. move on, open. jedediah: not to be controversial but i will be, they are talking about masks on children 2 years old and up. i have a 15-month-old. there is no planet on which i would put on his face a mask to sit in school all day long. he is a little person. they need to think about this and the implications, we want to get kids back to school and to do that mask wearing and social distancing i get it, i have been a large proponent of safety measures throughout the process but you need to think about a 2-year-old and what that means and what having their face restricted with a little mask for multiple hours a day will look like and whether parents will be on board with this type of insanity. it is crazy. they are really little kids. pete: coming up they say don't mess with texas and it

and business owners. take a look, watch this. near an and vanessa, two prince, different opinions on the mask mandate, let's talk about your opinions on the state lifting its mask mandate and opening up 100% capacity. >> i am totally supportive of it. i feel the immune system we were given is something that is really important. >> operates city to remove the mandate at a point when we are doing so well in the numbers are decreasing. i understand the desire to get businesses back and open. jedediah: you want businesses to make smart decision but you are okay with businesses making that decision, not the government making it for them? >> i'm vaccinated myself. i'm against removing the mass, too soon. this is the state with the least amount of vaccination and we aren't ready for that. i am okay with businesses open 100%. i'm a business owner. >> you are the bar and restaurant business and this is a welcome relief. >> we are local. i want to keep our staff safe and customers so we can stay open and have a good spring and summer. >> how do you feel about governor abbott lifting the mask mandate and opening businesses 100%? >> very -- i choose to wear a mask. i'm not overly concerned about it. >> you are not doing it because you are forced to do it that you choose to do it. >> yes. jedediah: to put in place the football field you saw, i was the dallas cowboys practice facility, a fun place to be but commercial retail development a lot of people walk around that facility and here's what i heard, 100% of people were happy businesses were open and thought they should open it full capacity. for those who regretted the mask mandate being repealed also said they thought businesses should be able to make the decision and they trusted most people would make wise decisions so while there might have been a split on whether the mask mandate should have been repealed the underlying issues were somewhat of a place of agreement, let people make smart decisions, let businesses make smart decisions and hope they do. pete: that is the loss in a lot of the conversation that has been portrayed by media, just because it's not a mandate doesn't mean those private businesses make a decision they have to wear a mask inside the establishment or people won't feel it is too much too soon and want to let the businesses open but once to ease into this. we have all been living a certain way for a long time now so for many of us it will take baby steps, others will jump into that pool and say let's reopen but personal voice does matter. in florida a friend of mine went down last week and said things are open but a lot of establishments have maintained the mask mandate. those are private businesses and people respect that when they go inside is establishments. >> i have visions of will cain in the practice facility looking for autographs. jedediah: they let their kids play on the field. it is cool. it is cold and nobody hangs out there. why would you at this point? i am encouraged to see texas lead the way as it often does. it is all about choice, let people make their own decisions. it is not that hard. if you travel during covid 19 you've seen how different people have reacted differently based on personal preferences. the media in manhattan things there will be a barbecue july 4th. the rest of america already use. jedediah: one thing i noticed 100% said they are respectful of other people's desire and wishes. whether you want amanda or didn't want to wear a mask everybody is respectful other people's decisions. pete: that is what you need as we move forward, everyone will be justin a little bit to the old way of living but we've lost touch with a bit. still ahead governor cuomo, more than half of the state's lawmakers call on him to step down.
