Not long into the pandemic in 2020, Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean lost both her mother-in-law and father-in-law to COVID-19. They had been staying in nursing homes in New York. Months later, Dean would discover that it was likely the actions of then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that led to the deaths of her in-laws.\xa0\nDean says it was not that Cuomo issued an ignorant order to send the COVID-positive elderly back to nursing homes that troubled her, but rather that Cuomo intentionally tried to cover up the number of deaths that resulted from his actions.\nInstead of losing herself in grief, Dean made it her mission to expose the truth and hold Cuomo accountable.\xa0\n"I remember when my grief really turned to anger, and that was seeing ... the Cuomo brothers [Andrew and Chris] on CNN, joking around when thousands of people were dying," Dean says, adding, "it was just gross negligence, just unbelievable."\nIn her new book, \u201cI Am the Storm,\u201d Dean tells her story of helping to take down one of the most powerful men in New York. She also shares the stories of more than a dozen other men and women who have turned their hardships into a force for good.\xa0\nDean joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to share how she, and so many others, have turned hardship into purpose.\xa0\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
