Cuomo Calls His Mom During Live CNN Segment to ‘Prove’ David Holmes Could Hear Sondland Call

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: “Mom, can you hear me? All right. So if I were holding the phone here, I’m with Dana Bash. I always let her talk because she’s so smart and I shouldn’t say so much. Can you just say hello? Mom? She probably can’t hear me. Mom, can you hear me?"
M. CUOMO: "Yes, I hear you. When you talk to me, I hear you."
CUOMO: "I’m talking to you. Say hello to Dana Bash."
BASH: "Hi, Mrs. Cuomo. How are you?"
CUOMO: "All right."
UNKNOWN MALE: "I can’t hear your mother, Chris. I'm sitting across the table."
CUOMO: "This is not on speaker phone."
UNKNOWN MALE: "I’m sitting across the table." [crosstalk]
CUOMO: "It's regular phone. It’s two feet away from Dana. She can hear my mother. I’m not sure mom can hear us. Mom, thank you very much. Thank you for not saying anything that will get me in trouble. I’ll call you back. I love you."
