is that the same kiersten julie brenda believed a single witnes before the witness even said a word when it came to brett cavanagh, and now it takes seve allegations for her to speak ou against cuomo? but the governor doesn't care what they think, he says he's not going anywhere. listen to this. >> politicians who don't know single fact but forum a conclusion, and an opinion are in my opinion reckless and dangerous. that my friends is politics at its worst. politicians take positions for all sorts of reasons. including, political expediency and bowing to pressure. people know the difference between playing politics, vowin to cancel culture, and the truth . i'm not going to resign. >> it's by opening to go back and read with the media and other democrats were saying about him 8-10 months ago. they were giving him awards, they wanted him to be president they wanted him to be vice president. they wanted him to be the attorney general for the united states read what's also highly relevant when you think about i is this, most of these allegations now seven allegations of sexual impropriety, battery, oppression , they existed them, most of these alexander should accusations existed or the factual basis to wild the media was heaping praise on erie to b sure, the media will say, but w didn't know, we weren't aware, to which we will respond, why not? why didn't you know? i thought your job was to tell us what we don't already know. i thought you were investigativ journalist very tight thought democracy died in darkness in you where the lights. i thought you spoke truth to power. i thought you were all the news. well that was fit depressed by then too. i think the media didn't find these allegations last spring and summer while they were lavishing praise on andrew cuom in large part because they neve looked for it. and that is why the media aren' taken seriously anymore. there investigative journalism as only in high gear when it comes to republicans or people they don't like. their dogged pursuit of the truth took a vacation so they could swoon over their preferre political candidates. but praise the lord, i've been wondering for months, what it would take for the new york times and the washington post and kamala harris and aoc and adler and others to finally cal for his resignation. i've been wondering how much will be enough for them? how long will it be before they admit they didn't do their jobs? how long must we wait for even the slightest acknowledgment that the person they wanted to be the president, the vice president, the attorney general of the united states, had a lon history of abusing women, and the answer is it takes seven. seven allegations is the threshold for these democrats. seven, three or four, well, we're not quite ready to make the call yet. five flags while, we're getting close, but let's keep an open mind. but seven, we draw the line at seven. our principles dictate that we really get serious about this when the seventh different woma alleges abuse or criminality. the people in the media wonder why republicans think the media are biased. i don't know, let me think abou that for a second may be becaus the media are bias and in the tank for democrats. democracy dies in darkness you say, the washington post missio statement actually makes me laugh. not the concept, the hypoxia say . if you really think we believe you are the light, the objectiv committed the neutral, the tax light, that makes me laugh. you can't even find the light switch. you were too busy promoting andrew cuomo for higher office. so don't lecture us on democrac and the light. joining me now, victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. welcome to you, victor, how are you? >> very good. tell me your assessment of this. it looks like seven was the magic number. that so many allegations it took . what is your perspective? >> you're right, it's not symmetrical so the word cancel culture is a misnomer. by that i mean it's asymmetrical . the left-field that if a conservative, if you or me or your audience says something that can be interpreted, contextualizes a liberal, that' a window into our dark soul int confirmation of what they alway said. if somebody is on the left, the have woke insurance they get time and time again it's a mistake, it's a carelessness, but it doesn't cancel their existence or their career because they believe in cosmic guess cosmic morality, they lov humanity, but they don't care too much. if you are right on abortion or trying to change, you can treat the people on your staff in a different way but the expectation is always going to be an exemption for you because you're anointed can be a good person because you're ideologically correct. they are much more reluctant to destroy careers on their side because they value power, and w saw that. you have to do a lot if you're under cuomo to get counsel. we saw that maybe with al franken when he was caught with a hand on her chest, but of the that they get exemption and exemption end exemption because they feel that the are cosmically correct. it's not good for the society. we're have got common sores com over looking over our shoulders. that they sit 62 percent of americans are afraid of being canceled and saying one thing and think another. and for the right, it means tha peace will have career agendas they mask it with ideology and they saved my boss is a racist, maybe you should hire me. or if i'm at anchor at 5:00 p.m. , a competitive network will maybe get better races, so you mass that under this ideologically veneer, and then for the left, it's not good because were all sinners and we all need deterrence, but if you are convinced that you can see an incident incident, and somebody will contextualize it, what do you do? dear andrew cuomo, one, two, three, four, or five. you always think that i'm right on abortion, i'm right on union i'm right on the order, so it's a sick pathology. anytime there is a salem witch trial or degrees it happens and it's not good. it doesn't end well. >> victor commit your scholar and also i like single standard that apply to everyone. i know what due process means i a courtroom. but outside the courtroom, what is a fair way to evaluate about allegations of impropriety. what's a fair way to do it. >> i think you have to follow the constitution regardless of your ideology so if somebody makes an accusation against you of any nature commit then you'r presumed innocent until proven guilty. might understand the courtroom doesn't apply to the workplace or politics necessarily in ever place. this. of the constitution should permeate that experience and we give them the benefit of the doubt. as evidenced mounts and there i serial pattern like behavior an we have corroborating witnesses then we investigate. that is not what happened, and we saw that with brett kavanaugh . that is where we are. i think most people are just saying what are the rules, we just want to know what the rule are. we will follow the rules if you can say they are wrote out in that they apply across-the-board . that's why there's so much sarcasm, and people think we ar all thinking something and we don't want to talk about it because were disgusted with thi when it goes like this and did happen to you, it's happened to me, it's happened to your listeners, and we know the only way to rectify is to speak out and speak the truth. you not going to cancel me, i'm not your commissar, i'm not going to answer to you. you look at the evidence, the inductive, that's the only way it's going to go away. these are a majority, they are small minority that created thi culture. the thing about cuomo is he's manipulating the situation and is now saying he's a victim eve though his past record is that he was part of that culture especially cavanaugh if you're in other situation where he's been a beneficiary of the exemption given him. he has manipulated it in a cynical fashion. >> victor, always love seeing you and listening to you. hope you have a great weekend and thank you for being with us tonight. >> same here. thank you. >> yes, sir. coming up, president biden usin two speeches to tout his handling of covid 19, but sayin there will still be restriction after the nation is vaccinated. so is that science or politics?

could get we are going to be paying the price. nearly to trillion dollars adde to the debt for money we don't have, it's going to be absolutely stunning. it's disappointing with 91 percent plus of the bill has nothing to do with fighting covid or delivering vaccines an what not to bail out unions and provide money for amtrak into those types of things, that's just what i think the american moment think of. you're not actually doing what you're supposed to be doing. guess what, they passed five bills, but they were very bipartisan. this didn't have a single republican on it, and i think that is a sign of how bad it was . >> for those of us who made poo grades in science which would b two of the people in this conversation, help us understand . we get vaccinated, but we still need to take precautions. >> if you look in your rearview mirror, there is nothing but devastation. if were looking forward, we hav over 100 million doses of vaccines being given out to americans. today was the highest amount of vaccines given out in one day commit nearly 3 million over 63 percent of adults, 63 and over have gotten that first shot . all the data is telling us even a couple weeks after that first shot, that over 90 percent efficacy at preventing severe covid. we are still on our way to bein in protected state. moving forward we have to make sure we get that level of immunity. the national immunity mixed wit the. every american isn't going to b vaccinated. we have to get to a level where we are comfortable. we will never get to zero risk. we are going to dance with this for a while, but the truth is w have to be able to move forward. with a reasonable amount of risk . the whole go for the last year has been to protect the vulnerable. all you have to do is look at these vaccine numbers and we ar doing just that protecting the vulnerable which is why debts have drastically gone down as well as hospitalizations. >> jason, this is something i never in my life thought i woul say, but you wrote a book and it's about not letting a crisis go to waste. tell us why you picked that topic. they would never ever be able t do otherwise. it's about the tricks in the schemes that they do in order t make this happen, but it is playing out with covid, but it plays out with lots of other crises as well. unfortunately, they leverage these things to do things politically that they would never ever be able to do otherwise. that is why they never let a crisis go to waste. >> i'm going to buy doctor safire's book. have a great weekend, both of you. >> thank you. coming up, how mexico is now blaming president biden for the growing crisis at our southern border yet the weiss house is refusing to admit there is a crisis. former secretary of state mike pompeo joins me on that in the growing threat from china. that as next. if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has plans built just for you. get 2 unlimited lines for only $70. and now get netflix on us with your plan. and this rate is fixed, you'll pay exactly $70 total. this month and every month. plus, switch today and get a free smartphone for each line. the best value and award-winning customer service. only at t-mobile. ♪ ♪ we know it's going to take many forms of energy to meet the world's needs while creating a cleaner future for all. at chevron, we're lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations, investing in lower-carbon technologies, and exploring renewable fuels of the future. we work hard to care for the homes we love. but it's only human... to protect the one we share. the worst genocide in human history also destroyed the lives of thousands of jewish survivors still suffering today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word.

>> you want to start with the late you were just talking abou in your last segment. you want to ask it why it's a case that they can help us figure out how this and how the decided the right thing to do was to cover it up. it is still upon the spirit you want to demand that they hope the world figure this out not the least of which is to make sure something like that. why the heck is it they feel it necessary to comes by on the united states, conduct espionag here. why is it there trying to undermine our democracy. every turn, they are trying to understand the basic way of lif are people here in the united states. my beard just asking them for the sake of asking them, but it's worth doing. our administration did that. i met with the same person that secretary at lincoln will be meeting with great i asked the same questions with and the answers i got led to the trump administration taking a very serious actions to impose costs on the chinese communist party. >> secretary of state, for the rest of us who were not, we loo for themes whether it's america first or climate change. do you see climate change being a theme that runs throughout th biden administration's foreign policy? the most important thing president does is set a broad understanding of the way the country looks at the world and the way america looks at the world. weep centered this on making sure we are very focused on. we called it america first. you are prepared to trade lots of things things come up with things with the chinese, things with europeans, all which will hurt the american people all fo a lofty goal of some carbon reduction some 20 or 30 years, frankly not very likely to actually happen, that presents enormous risk in the united states. the thing that presidents have responsibility to do, and the secretary of state is make sure we know what your priorities are . >> at let's take two more stops around the globe if you will. middle east, what are you optimistic about and what concerns you in the middle east? >> i'm pretty optimistic. we laid a great foundation for peace and stability there. i have watched, i watch the economic relationships between citizens between the united ari emirates. they are going to last. these people are yearning to do business with each other. this will be something that frankly can't be turned back an are a ministration was essentia in making sure that happened. i'm confident that will continue . the administration appears to b prepared. that presents an enormous challenge to our friends in israel, we have a responsibilit to have a good relationship wit them and part of that has to be developing a strategy. >> you raise up point, a couple of weeks ago i guess, we were shooting missiles at iranian backed insurgents, in the militia, and then contemplating sitting down the note go shadin table. it's hard to figure how one would think we went back to a deal from 2015. no intention of stopping their missile program and frankly, they continue to threaten assassination campaigns this wasn't a nation likely to strik a deal that will make any sense of the united states and they certainly won't do it if they think they can roll you, if the think he will appease them. they will press their case and get a deal that's frankly good for them, but not good for the american people. >> i love serving with you and love having you on. i hope you will come back and update us. you and your family have a grea weekend. >> right back at you. it's great to be with you. >> yes, sir. the first female graduate of th citadel military college. now the first republican female to serve in congress from the great state of south carolina. you don't want to miss congresswoman nancy mason next. i'm a performer. 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. ♪♪ new tic tac big berry adventure. 100 layers of flavor for that refreshing and delicious taste. refreshing moments are just a tic tac away. ♪ you can go your own way ♪ for that refreshing and delicious taste. it's time you make the rules. so join the 2 million people who have switched to xfinity mobile. you can choose from the latest phones or bring your own device and choose the amount of data that's right for you to save even more. and you'll get nationwide 5g at no extra cost. all on the most reliable network. so choose a data option that's right for you. get nationwide 5g included and save up to $300 a year on the network rated #1 in customer satisfaction. it's your wireless. your rules. only with xfinity mobile. >> march is women's history month, so of course it is the perfect time to reflect on the contributions women have made i every whelm of our existence. jeannette rankin and margaret chase smith in politics. sandra day o'connor and ruth bader ginsburg in law. mobiles and sports. we could do this for a lot longer than a month. women have made contributions i every facet of life, culture, science, government government, history is the study of the names we know or should know, but each of us has our own history of sorts as well. most of us probably won't wind up with the wikipedia page. we have our own history, we write our own history book. how many read it or notice is u to us, but each of us writes one . is a disproportionately rolled there as well. we could start with a woman who brought us into the world, our mothers. most of them will not be recorded in history books. we won't be in any books anywhere without them and what they sacrificed and did for us in still do for us. then we start school, and for many of us it was women who tol us how to read, how to write, i was women who tried to teach me math. they were patient, they were dedicated, i just never understood why they are or letters like x and y in math equations and fractions. you want me to multiply fractions?

the issues at hand. in many of you commented on the young girl in the last murder case i prosecuted. she touched you like she did me. the power of a legacy and the sanctity of life. and it's always the right time to be thankful for the gift of life. when i was young, summer was my favorite time of the year. the days were long, it was hot, there was no school, my shirt came off the last day of school in may, and it didn't go back on until august, except when my mom drove me to sunday school. she did make me wear a shirt to sunday school. i love summer time. and then you get to be older, and life changes. school was over, and you have to put your shirt back on, and being hot all the time and drinking out of a garden hose isn't quite as much fun. and then autumn became my favorite time of

spring is the perfect time to be thankful for the gif, and everything that springs from it. so don't forget to set your clocks forward, and don't blame me for that. i never liked that idea, either. and be optimistic. spring is right around the corner. the green will win the battle. life will be victorious. and hopefully, we can make the most of this gift called life. have a great weekend. i'm trey gowdy. tucker carlson is up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." tons going on, as always, so there were a lot of stories we could have opened with tonight. but in the end, we couldn't get our minds off joe biden's covert speech. did you see that last night? the one where he seemed so sad about the lockdowns and the crushed businesses, kept kids out of school, an entire generation, he said, driven so many to suicide. yet never once mentioned or even hinted that he and his party for the very forces behind those lockdowns. i'm really sorry about your black eye, he says, as he punches
