CLAY: Your boy Andrew Cuomo is going full-throttle back, and he now is saying he is the ultimate victim of cancel culture, which is a hell of a pivot, but that is the argument that he is trying to make, and he came out with an ad. We played that ad. Was it last week that we played his 30-second ad that he’s running now basically claiming vindication?
BUCK: Yeah. Of course.
CLAY: And now he’s given a speech and listen to how fiery he got and listen to what seven, eight months ago was forced to resign in honor and disgrace. And now, buddy, he’s back. Listen.
CUOMO: Yes. This is the time for impatience, but constructive impatience! If you want to cancel something, cancel federal gridlock, cancel the incompetence, cancel the infighting, cancel crime, cancel homelessness, cancel education inequality, cancel poverty, cancel racism. Be outraged! But be outraged at what really matters, and what really matters is what matters to you.
BUCK: (impression) “Cancel my cable subscription. Cancel that thing where I think I’m gonna get free DVDs in the mail but it’s actually all a big scam. Cancel…”
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: This guy, you are a hundred percent right, by the way.
CLAY: He’s back, man.
BUCK: So, here’s the thing. He thinks he’s coming back. I don’t think he’s ever coming back at the national level the way he thought he was. I also think it’s probably impossible, probably he could ever about governor. But attorney general for the state of New York? Maybe. Maybe, it’s possible. He has a much longer history in politics than Letitia James does. He has a big war chest, and he is a mean, mean man. Can we just say it? (laughing) Everybody says Cuomo is like the meanest guy in politics. So we’ll do it man. He’s not done.
CLAY: Remember when I said that he was resigning to try to preserve his future political viability? I was like the only person in America arguing that, and that was the only reason that I could see that he would be willing to resign because these guys don’t ride off into the night.
BUCK: Right, because otherwise he would have gone down.
BUCK: The conventional wisdom on him even from New York State politicians that I talk to about this was, “He’ll go down to the very end.” Well, all he did was actually extend what “the very end” means.
CLAY: Yes. And, by the way, I think he may well beat Letitia James. I think he may be able to do that.
