MAYBE UTILIZING MORE OF THE JAVITS CENTER AND "USS COMFORT"
AND I WANT YOUR RESPONSE, LOOKS
LIKE THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO
WATCHING THIS PRESS CONFERENCE.
HE TWEETED 13 MINUTES AGO QUOTE
GOVERNOR CUOMO SHOULD SPEND MORE
TIME DOING AND LESS TIME
COMPLAINING, GET OUT THERE AND
GET THE JOB DONE, STOP TALKING,
WE BUILT YOU THOUSANDS OF
HOSPITAL BEDS THAT YOU DIDN’T
NEED OR USE, GAVE LARGE NUMBERS
OF VENTILATORS THAT YOU SHOULD
HAVE HAD HELPED U.S. TESTING
THAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING.
IT GOES ON A LITTLE BIT MORE.
SO WONDERING IF YOU COULD
RESPOND TO THAT AND ALSO THE
QUESTION ABOUT THE OVERWHELMED
ICU.
ICU. >> GOOD.
>> GOOD. LET RESPOND TO THE PRESIDENT.
FIRST OF ALL, HE’S SITTING HOME
WATCHING TV, MAYBE HE SHOULD GET
UP AND GO TO WORKING EVER, RIGHT
LET’S KEEP EMOTION AND POLITICS
OUT OF THIS AND PERSONAL EGO.
IF WE CAN BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT
THE PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE. AND IT’S ABOUT OUR JOB.
AND LET’S TRY TO FOCUS ON THAT.
I HAVE SAID REPEATEDLY THAT WHEN
WE WERE TIGHTINGFIGHTING FOR ADD
CAPACITY FOR THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM
THAT THE PRESIDENT MOVED VERY
QUICKLY AND I APPLAUDED HIM FOR
IT.
IT. HE BROUGHT THE CAR MEARMY CORPS
ENGINEERS AND BROUGHT THEM TO
BUILD THE JAVITS CENTER CAPACITY
AND 800 PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH
VAV ARKS
VAV ARKS JAVITS.
JAVITS. TO DISMISS 800 PEOPLE IS
DISRESPECTFUL.
DISRESPECTFUL. WHEN HE SAYS WELL, WE BUILT IT,
WE DIDN’T NEED IT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SUGGESTION IS
WELL, IT WAS A REQUEST BY THE
STATE THAT WASN’T VALID.
IF HE DIDN’T REALLY BELIEVE 2500
BEDS WAS NECESSARY, I DON’T
BELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WOULD HAVE HELPED BUILD 2500
BEDS AND THE NUMBER CAME FROM A
PROJECTION FROM HIM, HIM.
SEE, HE SHOULD READ THE REPORTS
HE ISSUES.
HE ISSUES. THE WHITE HOUSE CORONAVIRUS TASK
FORCE HAD ENORMOUS PROJECTED
UNTIL THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
THE CDC, WHICH IS THE PRESIDENT
PROJECTED IN THE MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. SO THE PROJECTIONS WERE HIGH.
THEY WERE THE PRESIDENT’S
PROJECTIONS.
PROJECTIONS. SO FOR HIM TO SAY TO ANYONE
WELL, YOU RELIED ON PROJECTIONS
AND THE PROJECTIONS WERE WRONG,
THEY’RE YOUR PROJECTIONS, MR.
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. SO WERE WE FOOLISH FOR RELYING
DONE. I DON’T WANT TO HELP ON TESTING.
TESTING IS TOO HARD.
THE ONLY THING HE’S DOING, LET’S
BE HONEST, IT’S UP TO THE STATES
TO DO REOPEN.
BY THE WAY, IT WAS ALWAYS UP TO
THE STATES.
THE STATES. ARE YOU GOING TO GRANT ME WHAT
THE CONSTITUTION GAVE ME BEFORE
YOU WERE BORN?
IT’S CALLED THE TENTH AMENDMENT.
I DON’T NEED THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES TO TELL ME I’M
A GOVERNOR AND I DON’T NEED THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
TO TELL ME THE POWERS OF A
STATE.
STATE. PEOPLE DID THAT.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON, THOMAS
JEFFERSON, JAMES MADISON, THEY
ARE THE ONES WHO GAVE ME THE
POWER.
POWER. AND I DON’T NEED THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES TO READ THE
CONSTITUTION FOR ME, MAYBE HE
SHOULD HAVE READ THE
CONSTITUTION BEFORE HE SAID HE
HAD THE POWER TO OPEN THE
STATES.
STATES. HE DID A VERY GRACEFUL 180 AND
