Newt’s World – Episode 194: How Cuomo and de Blasio Ruined New York

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo mishandled the early days of the pandemic.  He made misguided policy decisions that killed thousands, including many seniors.  Newt’s guest is Matt Palumbo, author the new book, Dumb and Dumber: How Cuomo and de Blasio Ruined New York.
