MY GUEST TONIGHT IS THE 56TH GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF

THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US, GOVERNOR, AND THANK YOU FOR

EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING TO KEEP OUR STATE SAFE AND THE PUBLIC

AS WELL AS I CAN BE DOING UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, ANYWAY,

>> Stephen: WELL, SIR, I KNOW YOU'RE SEQUESTERED RIGHT NOW

HOW IS THAT, HAVING THE ADULT KIDS AT HOME WITH YOU?

YOU KNOW, MY KIDS ARE 22, 25 AND 25 TWINS, THREE GIRLS.

I NORMALLY CAN'T GET THEM TO COME HOME TO VISIT ME, STEPHEN.

I NORMALLY HAVE TO PAY THEM TO COME VISIT ME.

O TO HAVE THEM WITH ME HAS REALLY BEEN A SILVER LINING IN A

BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT THERE LIVING THEIR LIFE, THE LAST

THING THEY WANT TO GO IS GO HANG OUT WITH DAD IN ALBANY, YOU

BUT THEY HAVE BEEN HERE, AND IT'S BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME

BECAUSE, WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON, IT'S JUST VERY GROUNDING FOR

ME TO GO HOME AND HAVE THEM THERE AND HEAR THEIR ABUSE,

WHICH I'M ACCUSTOMED TO AND COMES FROM A GOOD PLACE.

I LEARNED THAT LESSON THE HARD WAY, YOU HAVE TO SAY YOU LIKE

THE BOYFRIEND, NO MATTER WHATEVER YOU FEEL BECAUSE

IF YOU SAY YOU DON'T LIKE THE BOYFRIEND, THEY WILL MAR BY THE

>> Stephen: AND HERE'S WHY I THINK YOU LIKE THE BOYFRIEND

BECAUSE YOU'RE WILLING TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER YOU LIKE THE

BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE BOYFRIEND, YOU WOULD NEVER

AND THE BOYFRIEND HAS BEEN IN CLOSE PRACTICE I WANT, AND IF I

DIDN'T LIKE THE BOYFRIEND, THAT WOULD HAVE COMMUNICATED NOW

>> Stephen: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING YOU TALKED

NEW YORK CITY OVERALL -- NEW YORK STATE OVERALL NUMBERS

ARE DROPPING, BUT YOU REPORTED YESTERDAY THAT IN A SURVEY OF

1,300 NEW COVID PATIENTS, 66% OF THEM HAD BEEN STAYING AT HOME.

DO WE KNOW WHY THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE STAYING AT HOME ARE STILL

>> YEAH, IT'S ACTUALLY INTERESTING, STEPHEN.

THE CLOSE-DOWN HAS WORKED SO WELL, AND WHAT WE FEARED DIDN'T

I WAS AFRAID THAT THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS WOULD HAVE A HIRING

IFECTION RATE -- THE HEALTHCARE, TRANSIT WORKERS, POLICE.

ACTUALLY, THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HAVE

A LOWER INFECTION RATE THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION, WHICH JUST

SHOWS THE P.P.E., THE MASKS, ET CETERA, ACTUALLY WORKS.

THE INFECTION RATE IS NOW DOWN TO AN INCREASE AMONG THOSE

PEOPLE WHO STAY HOME, MEANING THE CLOSE-DOWN IS WORKING.

WE'RE DOWN TO A LEVEL NOW WHERE IT'S PURE PERSONAL BEHAVIOR AND

WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE WEARING A MASK AND YOU'RE USING SANITIZER.

BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO ARE AT HOME WHO ARE NOT WORKING, NOT TAKING

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, THAT'S THE ONLY AREA THAT WE STILL SEE

>> Stephen: NOW, 30 STATES ARE EITHER OPENING OR CLOSE TO

OPENING, BUT MOST OF THOSE STATES DON'T MEET THE FEDERAL

GUIDELINES, EVEN THE GUIDELINES PUT OUT BY THE WHITE HOUSE

NEW YORK'S NOT REOPENING YET, BUT DO YOU HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE?

WE HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC PLAN, PROBABLY THE MOST SPECIFIC PLAN,

AND THE GOVERNING PHILOSOPHY IS -- I UNDERSTAND THE ANXIETY

AND THE STRESS AND WE ALL WANT THE OPEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE,

EVERYBODY DOES, MYSELF INCLUDED, BUT YOU DON'T OPERATE OUT OF

WE FOLLOW THE SCIENCE, WE FOLLOW THE FACTS, WE FOLLOW THE DATA,

WE KNOW HOW MANY HOSPITALIZATIONS WE HAVE, WE
