gillibrand:: is puglisi -- ms. puglisi, foreign adversaries have tried to influence our country for a long time. russia has attempted to see our technology, through investments, through exchanges, cyber operations. as does china. so, obviously, this is problematic and serious. the question is, what aspects of this threat are new? is it simply a question of scale? how should these distinctions shape our strategy and counter their efforts? >> thank you, senator. i would say that the aspects that are new is that it is more and more in the civilian space. if you raise the issue of the soviet union, we look back, and that was very heavily military focused. some of my earlier comments about how our traditional structure of ci is focused on intelligence officers come on -- intelligence off -- intelligence officers,, is very new. it's also the scale and scope and the fact that these are central government programs that have been in place for decades. that focus on the influence, the civil technology, and, really target the

kirsten gillibrand comes to mind. she led the charge against al franken. she's been silent on this, not demanding the resignation of andrew cuomo. biden has done the opposite, saying he must step down. you think that national pressure -- you've been around state lawmakers -- can force their hand to call for and moved for impeachment? >> janice: they need to stand up today. i know that they have months ago when this first started to become front-line page in the newspaper. they did say "if these accusations are real, the governor should resign." they need to do that today and make sure impeachment is on make sure impeachment is underway. listen, i want justice for my in-laws, just as for the 15,000 that aren't able to testify. if this is easier to digest for democrats to get rid of the sky, i'm all for it. >> kayleigh: can you update our viewers on the status of justice for those 15,000 seniors, investigations? update us where that stands in parallel to these other very egregious findings here from the new york attorney general. >> janice: the attorney gene

chuck schumer and kirsten gillibrand says the governor should step aside. they add that new york deserves better leadership. >> we continue to believe that the governor should resign. >> gillibrand was the first senator to call for the ouster of al franken three years ago over sexual harassment. >> heart goes out to the women who have come forward after what they went through. i thank them for their courage. >> democrats stopped short of demanding a civil rights probe. they said they should let prosecutors do their job. house gop conference chair elise stefanik went further. >> joe biden said he should be prosecuted and he should be. multiple crimes were committed. >> a tree you of house democrats say cuomo should step down. they have not said that before. that's hakeem jeffries, greg meeks and tom swazzi from long island. neil? >> neil: thanks, chad. let's go to the former federal prosecutor. katie, again, this was not in a criminal indictment. it was and independent probe conducted and led by the democratic attorney general of new york. she stated at the

all eyes will be on senator schumer and senator gillibrand. and she's been leading on these issues in terms of al franken. you can expect that anything that they say and president biden will be very, very important. >> absolutely. and we know the two senators have already called for governor cuomo to resign. as a matter of fact, there are several officials who have kept their mouth shut while the investigation continued, but this is certainly going to put a lot more pressure, like you mentioned on president biden, but the political fallout is going to have huge repercussions all over the place, and i have to say, someone who worked in that office, i know how toxic that environment was, and how frightened people would be to speak out against the governor or even to his face, but the fact that a state trooper testified and as one of your guests said earlier, someone who carries a gun was sexually harassed by the governor still has me shaking just an hour after hearing it. >> pete williams, let's talk about that. you covered politics and you cove

this is from sundar gillibrand and myself. the reported actions of the governor were propelled -- family disturbing, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable. today's report from the new york state attorney general substantiated and corroborated the allegations of the brave women who came forward to share their stories. we commend the women for doing so. the new york state attorney general has conducted an independent, thorough, and professional investigation that found the governor violated law, had a pattern of sexually harassing current and former employees, tallied it against one of the accusers and created a hostile work environment. no elected official is above the law. the people of new york deserve better leadership in the governor's office. we continue to believe that the governor should resign. >> did you watch the governor's statement? what is your reaction? >> i continue to believe the governor should resign. >> if he doesn't, come legislature written -- impeach him? >> i continue to believe the governor should r

president biden, and our federal delegation, led by senator schumer and gillibrand worked hard to secure funds for renters, landlords, workers, and more, but i am not at all satisfied with the pace that this covid relief is getting out the door. i want the money out now. i want it out with no more excuses and delays. i met with the senate speaker hasty and senate majority leader andrea stewart cosins just earlier today. and we are unified in our sense of urgency, that that money get out to the people in need. we're launching a new targeted campaign to reach more new yorkers on rental relief. and we're forming a real partnership with legislators, the city of new york, other cities and counties to get the job done. i'm hiring more staff to process applications immediately. i'm also assigning a top team to identify and remove any barriers that remain. new yorkers should know if you apply and qualify for this money, you will be protected from eviction for a solid year. let me repeat. if you apply and qualify, you will not be evicted for a year, and we will take the same focused approach to o

we artie heard from senator kirsten gillibrand. i anticipate we will hear from the white house press briefing from jen psaki. she will certainly be asked about this and asked about those comments that sandro referenced with president biden making very clear where he stands if these allegations are true and confirmed in the investigation as they were, yes, he should resign. i anticipate hearing the same thing today in the press surmounting more and more. >> sandra: head of the democratic caucus is now among the other democrats that have spoken out about this matter and obviously calling for the resignation of andrew cuomo, elise stefanik one of the lawmakers saying "must impeach immediately." we may get her to join us in just a moment. but so many questions and i feel like people that have been watching this play out and waiting for the results of the investigation in the report that we now have, they have questions about the civil nature versus the criminal nature as you heard letitia james was asked about that in the news conferen

earlier, senator gillibrand told reporters the same thing. we will show you the new york attorney general's briefing on this matter later in our program schedule. >> president biden is expected to make remarks this afternoon on the progress of vaccination efforts and the federal response to the covid-19 pandemic. from the east room of the white house, he is expected to get underway at 3:45 eastern. we will have his comments available online at c-span.org. you can listen and live with the free c-span radio app. >> sunday, c-span's series, january 6, views from the house, continues. three more members of congress share stories of what they saw, heard and experienced that day. including texas republican ronny jackson who recounts what happened in the early moments on the house floor. >> i don't know how far we got into it. i thought like five people were speaking. going back-and-forth with the democrats and republicans alternating. nancy pelosi was at the podium. she was kind of overseeing it all. at some point, i didn't really notice but they p

speaker nancy pelosi and senator chuck schumer, who is from new york, as well as new york senator kristen gillibrand, and the entire democratic delegation from new york to the u.s. capitol, have now called on him to resign. haidi: where do we go from here? emma: there is another investigation ongoing. currently, the new york state assembly is doing their own investigation into if they should impeach cuomo, and kind of just in the past hour, the biggest thing that broke was the assembly speaker, who has been an ardent supporter of cuomo from the start, he has not said that cuomo should resign before this. he said that cuomo should resign. he also said he has discussed with the majority of the assembly, he has enough people to impeach him, and i think that is a big step forward. it does not mean they are going to start impeachment right now, but he does say that that is what the assembly is leaning toward. shery: in new york, we are seeing the rise of delta cases, and this continues to be front and center. >> we are engaged in discussions about amount of resources. there will be a broad comprehensive

we took the position, senator gillibrandeing an ally of president obama, to not support her bill, to give the commanders and give the dod an opportunity to address this issue. that was a decade ago. it has gotten worse. we have the data to show -- we have seen what the work is on irc, and clearly it didn't work. and now the point about the underlying findings and the need for professionalism and the need for specialization and then the -- which i think kyleanne mentioned both of them, the cascading effect can even the small number of cases, the mishandling of the cases has a ripple effect on how people view the system and view these issues . i think the time has come, and i will say this as somebody who supported keeping command-and-control 10 years ago, that it is now time that we have to come out. we have the expense of our allies -- we have the experience of our allies. we are at a crisis with this issue in the military command we have got to address it boldly. -- in the military, and we have got to address it boldly. katherine: question to the group from allison. tina, you are ta

two senior democrats — us senate majority leader, chuck schumer and senator kirsten gillibrand, both new york democrats — have called on governor andrew cuomo to resign. here's a little of what the attorney general had to say. the independent investigation has concluded that governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed multiple women — and in doing so, violated federal and state law. specifically, the investigation found that governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching, and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women. this is what mr cuomo had to say in response to the report. i want you to know directly from me that i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. i am 63 years old. i have lived my entire adult life in public view. that isjust not who i am. and that is not who i have ever been. today we are living in a superheated, if not toxic political environment. that should not be lost

we took the position, senator gillibrand being an ally of president obama, to not support her bill, to give the commanders and give the dod an opportunity to address this issue. that was a decade ago. it has gotten worse. we have the data to show -- we have seen what the work is on irc, and clearly it didn't work. and now the point about the underlying findings and the need for professionalism and the need for specialization and then the -- which i think kyleanne mentioned both of them, the cascading effect can even the small number of cases, the mishandling of the cases has a ripple effect on how people view the system and view these issues . i think the time has come, and i will say this as somebody who supported keeping command-and-control 10 years ago, that it is now time that we have to come out. we have the expense of our allies -- we have the experience of our allies. we are at a crisis with this issue in the military command we have got to address it boldly. -- in the military, and we have got to address it boldly. katherine: question to the group from allison. tina, you are ta

new york's two senators kirsten gillibrand and majority leader chuck schumer called on cuomo to resign. so have the democratic members of new york's house delegation. so have key members of the new york assembly and state senate who have the power to remove him from office. so has the current new york city mayor and the man likely to be

we have also heard from gillibrand who called for him to resign. he could face some pressure from other members of his party and other lume marys in the new york -- luminaries in the new york political scene. >> the way the governor described it, he was using these gestures that a politician typically does. he showed a montage of him touching people's faces, kissing them on the forehead, being kissed by people, and clearly there is a difference between that and sexual harassment between groping and unwanted advances that are obvious to the people who are involved. is it difficult to draw a legal line between those things? tina: you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt for a criminal charge but in a civil case it's preponderance of evidence. we have heard several interesting/creepy things out of the james press conference where she was describing in her report activities like making overtures towards people and saying what i would do to you if you were single, doing things like with a with with a state trooper running a finger down her back and s

chuck schumer and kristen gillibrand reiterated their calls on cuomo to resign. before today, president biden said that he too would call for cuomo's resignation if the attorney general's investigation confirmed the allegations against,. mr. biden waited in late today. >> i understand that the state legislator may be assigned to pitch. quick this is over this and other scandals. they pledged to provide this, with any relevant evidence from her investigation. judy: we turn to karen do it. she is new york state public radio's c in albany. welcome to the newshour. >> how compelling is the evidence? that the attorney general presents in this report? >> i found all of these allegations pretty compelling and most of them we know about when they first became public like in march, i cover them, i talked to some of the women but the way this report put them out, it was deeply shocking to see alof these allegations that were poorly -- pretty well corroborated. this new one was the incidence of the state trooper. she was pled out of the ranks by cuomo, chosen to be his body

pretty much every single utterly elected lawmaker in new york including senator schumer and kirsten gillibrand, greg meeks, add to the list tom suazo, alexandria ocasio-cortez are all calling on governor andrew cuomo to resign after following what was an explosive report for the new york attorney general, pattern of sexual harassment against at least 11 current and former state female employees. here's joe biden calling for his resignation earlier today. >> back in march you said if the investigation confirms the allegations against governor cuomo than he should resign, will you now call on him to resign given the investigators said the 11 women were credible? >> i stand by that statement. >> are you now calling on him to resign? >> yes. >> sean: the governor tonight claims he has done nothing wrong and is refusing to step down. his defense to all of this, he says he touches people like this all the time, apparently. take a look. >> indeed, there are hundreds if not thousands of photos of me using the exact same gesture. i do it with everyone. black-and-white, young and old, straight and lgbtq

prominent democrats are calling for him to resign including president biden, new york senator schumer and gillibrand, nancy pelosi, the governor's of the surrounding states, connecticut, rhode island, new jersey, pennsylvania and a final point to remember, you are the attorney but at the end of the day, the governor did have to authorize this probe, if this brings them down. >> i will that one more thing i don't hear people talking about, they went for the king, the king could be beheaded is a lot of people behind him in the democratic party excited about this opportunity to run for governor not the least of which is letitia james. if this brings them down ultimately brought him down. jillian: we will follow that. janice dean has been on the forefront from the beginning. heather: believes the accusations of retaliation made against andrew cuomo because she experienced it herself. >> i believe it 1000 person. i experienced it on a smaller level from one of his top aides said she doesn't know anything except the weather. other people saying you go against this guy you have a mark next to you, watch yo

kirstin gil bland, me had an -- gillibrand had a rating of a plus then she went to the left. hochul is not part of the new york city machine. in order for her to move forward i think in her mind and certainly with the party she is going to have to go left. she supports all this, no cash bail, all this nonsense that led to violence in cities, people leaving new york, the high taxes. she has been part and parcel of all this, as well as corruption in albany. she's got the stain and stench of cuomo on her. it's going to be houdini act to say who is cuomo. ashley: a he is eligible for the $50,000 per year state pension at the taxpayers' expense. do you think he should and will forfeit that? >> he never will forfeit it. should he? absolutely. he just got $5 million for a book deal that was based on not only false pretenses, all his lies on the covid situation and less death than what happened, and yet he'll walk out the door with that $5 million as well as $50,000 a year pension. no, he should not take it at all, he should do the taxpayers a benefit for once, since they're the ones

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 2022 will be the beginnin

impeachment inquiry when it continues to keep growing, from the president on down, and senators schumer and gillibrand and new york assembly and legislators and i could keep on going saying that this governor has got to resign. >> and you know, it is a who's who of democratic politics there in new york. and jimmy, i want to bring you into this, because you have been following the story as well, and according to yasmin's report, you have a number of democrats in albany continuing the impeachment investigation, and give us an assessment of what is coming next. >> well, geoff, the impeachment inquiry overseen by the judiciary committee in that chamber, and they are going to meet monday, the and members of the committee tell me that it going to take perhaps 30 days, and maybe 45 days to craft articles of impeachment. they have requested and expect to receive ms. james' report and the evidence that underpinned it and marry it with the materials that their own investigators have gathered. the impeachment inquiry is not as narrowly tailored as the a.g.'s mandate. the claims of sexual harassment which have be

against a list of better known democrats, some names that are out there include letitia james, juror gillibrand. >> those are names, what is exciting, you haven't seen a robust democratic primary in a very long time. i think this is going to open the door for a number of people to come in, even in albany, there's a lot of people that may be considering running. you have to imagine governor hochul has the advantage because she's the incumbent, she's a strong fundraiser. only more so now that she's in office. it will be a very robust race we will see in the next year coming into this year where people start jockeying. >> susan, what are you hearing how the race for new york governor is shaping up, are there prominent republicans to get in the mix? one of the things we are hearing after cuomo's resignation, it is giving republicans hope. >> yeah. i think more republicans were hoping to run against a weakened andrew cuomo than a democrat that may not have any of the same baggage. there are three names out there. one is congressman lee zeldin from long island, second, rob as terino. ran against andr

. >> chuck schumer and kirsten gillibrand issued a joint statement renewing their efforts, calling for him to step down. >> the people of new york deserve better leadership in the governor's office. we continue to believe that the governor should resign. >> albany county district attorney says they will request investigative materials from the noew york ag on the cuomo repor and says a criminal investigation is ongoing. >> and we are also now getting more reaction from some of the governor's alleged victims. cnn's erica hill joins us now. what are you seeing on social media? what are you hearing? >> reporter: a lot on social media and a lot we heard in that press conference. if i could, i want to play more of that to get a better sense of what we're hearing from this report. 11 complainants, nine of them former or current state employees and here is a little bit more of what the investigators say they learned. >> many of whom were young women by engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging. >> some suffered through unwanted touching and grabbing of their most intimate body parts. >> t

i want to translate to the political issue, first, here is senator kirsten gillibrand with her call for resignation. >> as i said before, these allegations are deeply disturbing. i'm just reading the report now and factual evidence along with the fact that facts have been corroborated, the fact that there are 11 women coming forward is deeply, deeply disturbing. as i said already, these actions are inappropriate for the governor of new york state. my heart goes out to the women who come forward. and i thank them for their courage because this is a serious and damning report. >> i should point out, three members of congress from new york city area, king jeffries, tom squaz ee, greg meeks issued a joint statement calling on the governor to do the right thing for the people of new york state and resign. brendan, there's potential impeachment situation also in albany that could take place with the legislature. governor cuomo sounds like somebody that wants to have a fight and he is not looking to take the attorney general's report at her word and walk away. that sounds to me it means the ba

other names are in the mix of christian gillibrand, hillary clinton who may want in the this falls apart or if he hangs on until the end and doesn't run. we'll see. bryan llenas live in albany where we're waiting for more developments. hi, bryan. >> executive assistant number 1 talked about how she was groped twice by the governor in that interview. what is fascinating, we may never have known her story had it not been for the march 3 press conference in which governor cuomo denied touching anyone inappropriately for the third time. she watched the press conference at work and decided enough is enough. >> he almost has this smirk that he thinks that he's untouchable. that was the tipping point. i broke down. he's lying. i felt like he was personally saying it to me. >> she filed a criminal complaint with the albany sheriff's department. she believes that cuomo broke the law and deserves to be held accountable. the sheriff says the criminal investigation could lead to a misdemeanor arrest of the governor. cuomo's top aide resigned last night. she was mentioned 187 times in the attorney ge

. >> i go on to add you've got speaker pelosi, senator schumer, gillibrand, governors of new jersey, pennsylvania, connecticut, and rhode island. i mean the list just seems to go on here. >> yeah. >> do you think he can hold on politically, john? >> no. i think he's going to have to make a choice about whether he is willing to risk impeachment and already, you know, the vote count is coming in, but it's not looking good for him even though we haven't had a governor impeached in new york since 1913. >> wow. >> or resign or possibly there's some scenario where perhaps he promises not to run for re-election and has an orchestrated time out the door. but i don't the political winds are going his way. the lieutenant governor who wa take over on his impeachment today announced his behavior. >> you're making a very good point, but it's not like what we see with the presidential impeachment. you don't stay in office, right, and then they decide. he has to temporarily step aside and then let, i think, the lieutenant governor. >> correct. >> until they figure out what to do. then if they vote

senators gillibrand and i have released a statement a short while ago, which follows a statement we released in march calling on the governor to resign. let me read from the statement. as we have said before, the reported actions of the governor were profoundly disturbing, inappropriate, and completely unacceptable. today's report from the new york state attorney general substantiated and corroborated the allegations of the brave women who came forward to share their stories, and we commend the women for doing so. the new york state attorney general has conducted an independent, thorough, and professional investigation that found the governor violated state and federal law, had a pattern of sexually harassing current and former employees, retaliated against one of the accusers

against sexual harassment a core part of their ideal, and as a result you seen people like senator gillibrand, and of course nancy pelosi, the president, chuck schumer, all of these high and prominent democrats saying this governor has to go. i think andrew cuomo is absolutely isolated, he isn't a party that has said that they're not going to stand for this sort of behavior and as a result, it's going to be very hard for the governor to stay. there are people today that don't imagine him resigning because of the fact that he has this bush personality where he doesn't want to give up a fight. but we could see the governor impeached. >> there was nobody who watched his pre-taped response today who thought that he planned to do anything but fight this. he denied absolutely everything, cynthia, we heard cuomo directly addressed a few accusers in those prove recorded comments and one of them charlotte bennett was on cbs evening news and spoke to norah o'donnell. s evening ne>> do you think is ? you >> absolutely. he's trying to justify himself by making me out to be someone who can't tell the diff

senators, chuck schumer and gillibrand. the governor has no intention of stepping down and categorically denies the accusations laid out in the attorney general's report. it puts cuomo's fate in the hands of new york state lawmakers who were already in the midst of an impeachment hearing. declared that cuomo can no longer remain in office. so, where do we go from here? joining me we have our own yasmin who is in albany and the managing editor of "times union" brendan lyons and chairman of the investigations and government oversight committee, james scoop. i appreciate all of you here. let me start with you and a far simpler question. yesterday we heard from governor cuomo on tape. do we expect to see him today? do we expect to see any remarks? is he going to, at all, take any questions from reporters? >> i wish i knew that answer, chuck, otherwise staked out at his mention. as of now, we don't know if we'll hear from the governor today. he issued a prerecorded statement yesterday. he also issued a statement from his attorne
