>> right now, it's about 20- 22. mitch mcconnell just slammed trump on saturday on the floor of the senate minutes after voting to acquit him, just absolutely slammed him. this was going to happen. it really sets 2022 up as this fight between trumps -- what he calls the america first agenda and the dash first agenda of mitch mcconnell. this means everything to mitch mcconnell. if you remember, he had a terrible experience back in the tea party days in 2010, republican party nominated some really weak candidates, christine o'donnell, sharon angle, and they lost. mcconnell took it really hard. he is absolutely furious at trump over losing the senate and to georgia runoffs. basically it's a mcconnell-trump battle for 2022. >> bret: it will be the story. stand by, up next, state democrats turn on democratic governor andrew cuomo in new york. with us. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ i'm a performer. we're made for. always have been. and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. not the doubts, distractions, or voice in my head. and certainly not arthritis. voltaren provides powerful arthritis pain relief to help me keep moving. and it can help you too. feel the joy of movement with voltaren.

the information was available. if they could've just disclosed it, but they chose not to. >> he needs to get his facts together, and present us with some real data at this point. none of this is making any sense to people who actually work here, to the people who lost their loved ones, and the whole community. >> workers and democrats in the state house in new york criticizing the new york governor. a lot of media coverage now doing this, "the new york post" has been on it from the beginning, as i do. tailspin of "the new york post" today about the explanations, we are trying to explain away some of the questions around this. we are back with our panel. if by rain, where do you think this goes? it seems like obviously his star is falling quickly, even in democratic circles. >> he is going to keep fighting. at this news conference was really interesting. he does not give an inch. he doesn't admit he did anything wrong, except for maybe it will push back about lies and disinformation told about him. now it's extraordinary, we are seeing democrats go after him in new york. it today, they are saying, look, you governor cuomo at the news conference yesterday claimed to you were just following cdc guidelines and bringing those covid patience into nursing homes. at that very time the nursing homes were saying to you complaining about how many of their staff had covid. then, you pushed through an immunity, a legal immunity for them afterwards. they really want an explanation as to what happened when this revelation broke that he did not release or hid the number of patience, it causes people to go back over everything and a lot of bad feelings are coming out. >> bret: it's a number of different outlets in the number of different places that don't usually criticize democrats. >> who cares? 33, 28, died in a hospital, died in a nursing home, they died. >> it appears from inside the cuomo association is, who cares? they did. if they wanted to downplay the fact that there was a nursing home problem. it's because they thought the trump administration would use h nursing home deaths against them, which, yeah. that usually if you're not doing a good job, it gets used against you. if that's the whole point of data. >> bret: at the point is, it's crossing over to different outlets here covering the story. >> yes, and this was bound to happen. at the pandemic has been going on so long, it was bound to happen that people have been lionized as heroes like andrew cuomo had in the beginning would accumulate some mistakes along the way and start to have to be held accountable for them. especially in political environments in new york for the democratic party, it is bitterly divided among all sorts of factions. people have their knives out if you make a misstep. or something similar may be going on in california, if i can widen the view here. gavin newsom has made some mistakes out there. he is facing a possible recall effort. that's mostly a republican thing so far, but we will have to wait and see if he takes this to jump on. >> florida, take a look at the florida governor. >> we have florida had the exact opposite order. we said, you can't send a positive nursing home resident back into the nursing home. if that is the most vulnerable population. you obviously would put them in serious risk. we also did, after the first few weeks, we established covid only nursing units. if someone tested positive, they could be safely transferred, recover, go back so the other residents are protected. >> political rights this piece, the florida governor's clashes were reluctant to embrace covid restrictions. fueling chatter of a 2020 for a presidential they do. you've been lambasted a lot, now it seems to be coming out top. >> ron desantis didn't make the mistakes that cuomo did, despite all the praise he got in the beginning of last year. he's also able to save his economy and not put its people in the unemployment line like we've seen in 70 states around the country. certainly, he is at the top of the list for 2024. for andrew cuomo, he thought he was going to get away with this because there were so few media outlets covering this. are there a lot of families who aren't republicans who are discovering that their family member was put into one of these nursing homes. if you listen to his language, he talked a lot about no investigations, a subpoena isn't allowed. he's gearing up for a legal fight. that's going to matter because the media at this point has not been holding him accountable. >> we will see under the biden administration what comes next. if when we come back, tomorrow's headlines, tonight. ♪ ♪ . ...with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints. rinvoq regulates it to help stop the attack. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious infections and blood clots, sometimes fatal, have occurred... ...as have certain cancers, including lymphoma, and tears in the stomach or intestines, and changes in lab results. your doctor should monitor your bloodwork. tell your doctor about any infections...and if you are or may become pregnant while taking rinvoq. take on ra. talk to your rheumatologist about rinvoq relief. rinvoq. make it your mission. if you can't afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. keeping your oysters business growing if you can't afford your medicine, has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo get exactly what you want on wayfair. hi. last piece. -kelly clarkson?
