in new york for the new york times, how would you assess new york public healthcare response to this pandemic? you may have some of the most close knowledge of any reporter in the country on this and i think you're going to be a popular person as we really start to see where things went wrong. >> i remember putting out a report, we talked about this last spring looking at the hospitalizations, case rates and death rates among immunities of color in new york and one of the points the city report made was people and communities of color were so much more likely to be working frontline jobs and jobs with a couldn't socially isolate, whether that was working emts, coverage of the emts on the front lines, there were so many people who were not able to check themselves in at home and isolate and they bore the a brunt of the virus in the early weeks in new york last spring and on top of that i remember talking with doctor sam who worked at bellevue and he was talking about how he saw these headlines in the earlyea weeks of the pandemic, about the pandemic laying their health disparities are

attorney for district of new york. gloria, this time last year, cuomo was busy writing a book how he led new york and beat covid. clearly he is in a different place this year. what is he thinking now? >> i think he is thinking he wants to fight. it is very clear from the little we heard from the governor so far that he wants to put up a fight, when he released that video statement when the report was first released, he was trying to defend himself and making the case i think to the public that he believes he should be able to defend himself, explain himself. he apologized to some of the women that accused him, and he has been trying to excuse all this as a misunderstanding, misread intentions. i think it is needless to say there's plenty of evidence that the attorney general put in the report that this went far beyond misrepresented intentions by the governor. >> dan, it is always good to see you. i haven't seen you in a long time. unfortunately when you're here, it means somebody is in trouble. the governor does not r

but it is the new york game that with the popularity of the new york press, their enthusiasm for the game, their constant coverage of the game. eventually it is the new york game that's going to win out. of the things we have just shown you, everything in here is original with the exception of this blow-up of the illuminated manuscript. one of the things that surprises a lot of people when they come to the library of congress and they see this exhibit or they hear us talk about it is that we have very large sports collections. we are a premier secret sports archive if you will here at the library. through copyright, we have received everything from early rule books to team directories or handwritten histories of leagues and things. so there is a great deal of material that we have here to work with no documenting not just baseball but a number of sports. next i want to show you something that was recently rediscovered that had been hidden away from a desk drawer for years. these are the founding documents of american baseball. so here we are in front of what's been called baseball's

what are you expecting for new york city. obviously it is supposed to make landfall sunday, not exactly clear, you can never predict exactly where it makes landfall. >> after this, i am holding a press conference to tell people of new york city first of all be very careful tomorrow. i want people off the streets, staying home and safe, heavy winds, rain in new york city. it will be worse in other places like eastern long island. really concerned for friends and neighbors there. in new york city i think wind and rain are the first issues of concern. some coastal areas we are concerned about flooding. last we are hearing, it will be late night tonight before we see anything. but we're going to get ready, have a variety of measures to protect people. number one thing, good news about new yorkers, they hear the messages an act on them. that's why 75% of adults have gotten it. i am telling all new yorkers stay home tomorrow. stay out of harm's way. >> what do you hope folks around the country watching this concert, around the worl

lawmakers throughout new york state are calling for governor andrew cuomo to resign. >> that says the latest report from the new york attorney general found that cuomo sexually harassed 11 women. he's also accused of working to try to retaliate against one of his accusers kron four's basal. john has the latest from capitol hill. >> you should president joe biden and top democrats on capitol hill are calling for governor andrew cuomo to step down. the reported actions of the governor were profoundly disturbing inappropriate and completely unacceptable senate majority leader chuck schumer announced he and new york senator kirsten gillibrand, stand by the investigation's findings act. i continue to believe the governor should resign still working deal with. as i said, i continue to believe that he should resign other congressional democrats, including jerry nadler, brian under jones, carolyn maloney, grace meng and alexandra ocasio cortez say cuomo should leave office quote, for the good of new york state. republicans are also calling for governor cuomo's resignation. >> new york republi

so our story begins the backdrop for our story begins in newburgh, new york. this is a long the edge of the hudson at the end of the revolutionary war. not too far today from fdr's hyde park or west point, anybody's been there. so the main battle of the revolutionary war was about of yorktown which was september and october 1781. after yorktown that would be the last major battle of the war. after yorktown for about two years there was what we could call a cold war. the british hunker down in new york city. george washington and the americans went up the river to newburgh which you see writer in my slides, and for almost two years they just hunker down in this cold war. it would be longest headquarters but a new type of challenge emerged. that was the challenge of boredom. without fighting the army had not been paid. they were hungry, bitterly cold winter after another bitterly cold winter, and washington was worried that the army would fall apart just as we are ready to seize victory in the revolutionary war. so go ahead and go to the next slide. so what happ

washington was worried will he go to new york city for my inaugural. in ratify this estate and can even be the president if we don't have a city. and nobody seemed like new york city unlike today where everybody likes near city. thomas jefferson claims the new york city may never have as far as i can learn, ten months of winter. only two of summer and agree right now, some of the snow and instead of new york city, belongs for the company springfield. he describes new york city is overrun by dogs and garbage in a much else. so no one like new york city, this can only months in new york city and there was a deal cut. next slide. >> due will be cut new york city on june 20th, 7090, and what is probably the second most biggest dinner party in history, behind the last last supper. in the dinner party was between you can see the picture, jefferson, anderson hamilton and madison and jefferson were allies and federalist in hamilton with their nemesis in the federalist. two issues are trying to contend with. where should the capitol city b and the other was how

corrupt, petty criminal shill for the wealthy elite in new york. andrew cuomo is the reason why racism against italians is totally acceptable in new york. totally acceptable. totally acceptable. plus. he's not really italian. remember? as a new yorker, i am black. i am gay. see what he is in the hall of fame corrupt as governor. he's taken huge amounts of money from the real estate industry. he's worked with the infamously dar consulting firm, mackenzie and his administration started a weird, unprecedented policy of deleting state workers emails. after 90 days. when pressed on this, his administration said it was to save on data. you know, like when your phone is running out of memory. so you scroll past your photos, videos, apps, and start deleting individual text messages to save on data. and on top of all of it, the state version of office 365 actually offers unlimited email archiving. no, you're a boomer when microsoft office becomes downfall. i don't mean to be a just or offensive in any way. but andrew cuomo is one old, corrupt spaghetti, eat

last tuesday we had some big news regarding the governor of new york . andrew cuomo for more. we turn to our new york corresponded job for con. hello jennifer? hello, naomi. i don't know what you're talking about. you see i really, really hate new york politics, especially andrew cuomo. i've completely sworn off cuomo news for over a year now. so you haven't heard that cuomo resigned? did he really? or is this another one of your cruel jokes? a good time you convinced me? there was a pencil lodged inside my own anus. i just said it was up here but and around the corner. i didn't know you take it so seriously. but yes, it's true. he's resigning because he got caught sexually harassing several women. oh wait, that isn't funny. i shouldn't be laughing, correct? yeah, probably not. sorry, that is just not the reason i expected. cuomo to leave office makes sense. they'll get me wrong. the man is a sociopath, just not the reason i expected. so what's the reason you expected? where do i start? he should definitely resign for harassing women. but he also should have resign years ago f

and it was probably one of the few times that people outside of new york have actually rooted for the new york yankees to win. herbert hoover who was not particularly a sports fan, he still recognized the importance of baseball and sport in american life. and something he said a variation of on several occasions was next to religion baseball has furnished a greater impact on american life than any other institution and he realized especially in the early days and darkest days of the great depression that baseball was something that americans could look to for some relief, could look to for some entertainment during some very difficult times, and i think it's interesting even for someone who was not a sports fan he could recognize the power that sport had as being kind of a national balming effect for people. another feature at being at the ballpark, of course, is having the cuisine including the hot dog which is the most popular item sold at ballparks all over the country. the tradition of having hot dogs at the game goes back to actually 1880s. we have a picture here that shows a hot

i had been in new york for two years trying to find an apartment. i was also a home health aide, essential health care worker, so i worked a majority of the pandemic. the hard thing about this is new york has no rent control. what that means is landlords can charge whatever they want. for me, my experience, i did not have any good credit. at the time, my credit score was lucky 490. even when i tried to get a cosigner, i still got denied, and i am a black woman. this is something that happens a lot to us, and i feel like it is an agenda to make credit scores and rent requirements so high to wear black people cannot afford the rent. host: ok. we will let you go. the role of credit rating. we have not talked about that yet this morning. guest: that is going to be an issue -- in markets that are tight where landlords have multiple applicants for an apartment, they can be picky. they can chew somebody that has better income, better credit scores, who may be willing to pay a couple of months upfront. that is clearly a problem in places like new york where

we're all rooting for new york boy, we rooting for new york. >> rooting for new york. thank you, andrew. >> appreciate it you bet. >>> when we come back, morgan stanley's mike whichilson on the markets. what he sees happening the rest of this year. >>> futures under some pressure. dow futures down about 200 points of course, we were down pretty significantly yesterday and that turned around by the end of the day. dow and s&p setting new records yesterday. s&p down by 20, nasdaq off by 53 >>> let's look at home depot reported quarterly results earlier this morning h $4.53 a share. $41.7 billion. stock down about 3.3% this mor morning. probably just as people are looking to see when will the decline come when will you see more of a concern? that stock has done very well up to this point. >>> we heard from walmart a short time as well another dow component beat expectations and is also trading d down, down by 1.3% although, there was nothing in the numbers that would give you any reason to sell off this stock. this is another issue of selling osshesig n tdi this point. th

consider what this means for ordinary people living in new york state. if the on employment rate in new york was about the same as florida, cracked only 252,400 new yorkers who are currently unemployed would have jobs today. that figures 23% greater the population of rochester, new york. 205,000 or so people. so that's the cost that you'll pay if you vote for liberal democrats. hundreds of thousands of lost jobs in new york state alone. how long will new yorkers want to keep paying that price? literally nothing is working in the state of new york. not even regular trash pickup in some parts of new york city. the city that de blasio has presided over the past seven years. i'm sure biden would also say one hell of a job, billy. the big lesson of the andrew cuomo era goes far beyond sexual harassment and proper office etiquette. the big lesson is that liberalism fails every time it's tried. cuomo should've been held accountable for his role in killing nursing home patients and for his role in killing the chance of economically viable for a once great state.

so it's a staggered comeback for new york, isn't it? >> it's a staggered comeback for new york and new york was on its knees to begin with, neil. i think that is what most people need to understand. not everyone in america is driving around midtown seeing how many storefronts are boarded up and closed and permanent. this is a permanent loss of economic growth. the onus is upon private companies in america to look to the example of 60% of all things u.s. public school districts that did a great job of in-class learning throughout the entire last school year without any major risks posed to the teachers, the staff, and the students. if that can be done in a u.s. school, neil, it can be done in a private company easily. there are many examples that have good precautions, good protocols in their office environment and i think that new york city should look very hard at trying to bring as many people back into the office and revive that economy that i love so much. neil: all right. i want to thank you very much. we switch topics on but you w

um governing the state of new york with new york city there, we have watched for the longest time. the arguments between the new york city and the state of new york. new york city is almost a nation state itself, and it's very similar to what you see in california and some of the challenges that governor newsom has, uh, with governing a state that includes. los angeles and san francisco, and it's a very hard place to govern overall. yeah, no doubt about it very challenging to govern these large states like new york and california for that matter, all right. we appreciate you coming on to give us your insight here. political analyst brian sobel thank you for doing it. have a good evening, alex. you too. take care. 00 barrier, whether some warming today and that will be the theme all week long. but of course, so we are tracking the window, at least the wind conditions right around the richmond refinery with that flare up earlier this afternoon as we take a look at the map, so we are showing you this the location. of course. we're kind of showing you in general, the wind direction so

he was doing this for the good of new york but it's also for the good of andrew cuomo because new york is going to pay anyway, right? it is still a distraction anyway? it may not be front-page news but it is still their money. for him and is particularly bad if it doesn't end now. >> he wanted to keep the $5 million and not use it for attorneys fees. the state of new york, the book deal. $5 million. and when monies for attorneys fees. i think bryan llenas gave that report, the standard of proof has been lowered to establish harassment under new york law because they lower the standard of proof. you don't need intent, just the conduct has to be deemed unreasonable. that's where the women's testimony is critical to finding a conviction or civil damages against the soon-to-be former governor. >> harris: carley shimkus with us. >> carley: leo brings up a good point and governor cuomo was the one to lower the standard. the way this whole thing played out is enough to give you whiplash. it sounded like he was laying out a case for him to fight impeachment. laying out a case to fight impeachm

i set up new york city for the company of springfield describing new york city as overrun by hogs and garbage and not much else. they spent on the months in new york city and then there was a deal. the deal would be cut in new york city june 20, 1790 and was probably the second most famous dinner party and history, i guess behind the last supper. the dinner party was between, and you can see the pictures that jefferson, madison and hamilton. madison and jefferson for allies and by federalist hamilton was their nemesis as a federalist. two big issues trying to contend with. one is, where should the capitol city? the others had republic? glorious capitol. the second argument was the assumption, we were in debt after the war so jefferson calls for the dinner party, they are going to team up and defeat hamilton. what would happen at the dinner party was they would resolve all these issues and decide basically where the capitol would be hamilton would end up playing jefferson and madison like a guitar. he played victim and got everything he wanted. he said we are not paying our debt. the s

and so instead of playing for $200,000 with the oakland a's, he signs with the new york yankees for $3.5 million. bob dylan then writes a song about this, "catfish," and we have the sheet music here. and what he talks about is how a country boy with a great arm suddenly is making millions of dollars as a professional baseball player. the following year, 1975, there are two pitchers who refuse to sign their contracts. they play the next year with unsigned contracts. they claim at the end of the season that, because they have done that, they are no longer bound to their teams and an arbitrator agrees with them. and so, what you see happening after that, is with the breakdown of the reserve clause, players' salaries are going to double, triple, quadruple, and eventually the players association agrees to a modest form of the reserve clause. a player has to put in six years as a professional before he can then negotiate as a free agent. and we have a list here showing the highest paid players for various seasons. you can see that after 1975 there is a rapid increase in the amount of money tha
