WEBVTT - New York Governor Kathy Hochul Talks President Biden

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Governor Hople, thank you

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:10.799
<v Speaker 1>very much for being here, Thanks for having me so

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot to talk about. Let me start first though,

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>with what's in the news. A torrent of headlines about

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>President Biden's viability as a candidate. The Washington Post reporting

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>this morning that President Obama has expressed concerned about the

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>viability of his campaign. I think if you was such

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a stalwarts supporter of President Biden, you came out and

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>said that, reiterated that after the debate performance. Has anything

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>changed in these recent days as you've seen kind of

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the political train shift a bit.

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>What I said when I met the president literally the

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 2>day after his debate, he was here in New York City,

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 2>had a rally, a lot of energy, and then a

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>few days later all the governors gathered in Washington to

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>meet the President of the White House and ask him

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 2>some tough questions about that performance and where he goes

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 2>from there. When he said he is in it to

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>win it, he is going the distance. He is a

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 2>duly nominated candidate for president from the Democratic Party.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 3>Once he said he's in, my.

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>View is he's going to be in He's staying as

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 2>long as he's staying in this race, I am with him.

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>He has delivered for New York in extraordinary ways that

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I look forward to talking about even more. And I

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>believe in his vision for our country. So I am

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>with him as long as he wants to do this,

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and he's been an extraordinary president.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So much of the reporting has centered on conversations that

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>leaders in Congress have reportedly had with President Biden, where

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>fortunate two of them are are New Yorkers Leader Schumer

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and ha Kim Jefferies, the Minority leader. That has have

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you talked to them about this? Have you registered your

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>feelings to them in conversations.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>We have conversations all the time.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>But when people say they're having private conversations, whether it's

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>with me or the president, then private means something you

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>don't devolves the contents. I won't be talking about my conversations,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>but they know as the leader of the state of

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>New York, I have many priorities, but one on the

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>political side is wearing my hat as the head of

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the Democratic Party to make sure that they passed to

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>King Jeffreys. Becoming the Speaker of the House of Representatives

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>goes right through New York State battleground areas like Long Island,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>where I just was this week, up to the Hudson

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Valley and over to Syracuse. So I have dedicated an

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>enormous amount.

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Of my energy.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm making sure that we take back the House. Because

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm a former member of Congress, I serve in the minority,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and the representatives we have now who are in the

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>majority are not giving New Yorkers what they need, and

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>we need to change that dynamic.

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>So much of the concern that I hear from analysts

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>but politicians as well is what this means for candidates

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>down ballots. So let me have you talk a bit

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>more about that. Are you hearing any word any concern

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>from local political offices, from candidates about how this uncertainty,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this vacuum that has opened up since that debate, is

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>affecting the viability of candidates running for Congress, running for

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>other offices.

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, having been elected in the most Republican

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>district in the entire state of New York, I know

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>that every has unique characteristics, The issues are different. You

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>cannot take a broad brush and say whatever happens at

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the top of the ticket will filter down individuals a

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of it's personality driven, a lot of its accomplishment driven.

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So I think that you cannot possibly do that, but

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that we high turnout in our state.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I really do.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe that this is going to create some energy

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>and excitement and the people who've been loyal to the

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 2>president from the beginning and districts where they carry by

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent on Long Island will still be there for

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden and our congressional candidates as well. So everybody's

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about everything, but when we're not talking about enough

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>is Donald Trump as a threat to this country. I

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>want to shift the conversation from Democrats who are doing

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>what they're doing. And Democrats have always been a unwheelthy bunch.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>We used to talk about this when I worked during

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the Ronald Reagan Tip o'nill era as a congressional staffer

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>for Santa moyehand. Democrats are always a little more rough

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>and tumble with our own, but we do line up

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and get behind our candidates, and that's what I'm expecting

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to see behind Joe Biden.

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>As the governor. You have to plan for both outcomes,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>either buying re election victory or Donald Trumpert in the election.

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you about that latter scenario if passed

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>his prologue. There were difficulties that the state had when

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>it came to funding, when it came to policies. What

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>worries you the most about the prospects of that happening

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and how do you think through those eventualities.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 2>No, we're always prepared, but infrastructure is critically important. You

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>can proclaim that you're the infrastructure president not do anything

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>other than issue a press release, or you can actually

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>be the infrastructure president, which is why New York City

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>benefits from Gateway Tunnel, for example, the largest public project

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 2>done by the federal government in its history, and also

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 2>private investment upstate New York. Donald Trump did not deliver

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Micron to the State of New York. It was the

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>climate that Joe Biden created in saying we need incentives

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to draw the semiconduct industry back from South Asia plant

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 2>it right here in the United States, and I as governor,

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>was able to deliver it for the State of New

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>York with our own incentive. So that kind of partnership

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the relationship has. That's the largest private sector investment in

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.799
<v Speaker 2>American history, the largest federal government investment in American history

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 2>going on simultaneously here in the state of New York.

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to continue marching with Joe Biden if

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>it is not him. Those are areas where I'm concerned,

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the investments in our economy, the job creation initiatives, the

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>workforce development, but also the major infrastructure which creates tens

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>of thousands of good paying jobs in our state.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>You bring up infrastructure, let me use that to segue

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>to the latest polling. Note your approval rating is low

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight percent, the lowest it's been. But there is

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>a bright light I think you would say in that

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 1>polling when it comes to the decision that you made

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>at the eleventh hour to put a hold on congestion

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>pricing in New York. Forty five percent of voters in

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>New York agree with that decision. A pause is inherently temporary.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>What is it going to take, What will make you

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>lift that pause?

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Potentially, the pause is in place because the world has

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>radically changed since congestion pricing was first initiated in twenty nineteen.

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Inflation is a factor that's affecting New York families.

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 3>When you live in the city suburbs.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Whatever we have to not be toned deaf to New

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yorkers are saying fifteen dollars to come into the city

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>right now when I'm a teacher, I'm a firefighter, thirty

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred dollars more year to work in Manhattan. It's

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a great place to work, But that's an extra penalty

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 2>of being a New York City worker.

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>If it were lower, would that be more appealing.

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 3>To There's other ways to deal with this.

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I will continue supporting the infrastructure projects that were contemplated

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 2>to be funded by congestion pricing, and those who say

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I will not will soon see I know what I'm

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about. We'll be talking about this more throughout the

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>rest of this year. Nothing can really happen until the

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>legislature's back, but that doesn't mean that we won't have

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>a path forward that addresses congestion, that addresses funding for

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>MTA projects and looks at the structure of congestion pricing.

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>And there are other models in London, they started, for example,

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>at five pounds, not fifteen.

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>It takes time, so I just can't do that.

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>The hard working New Yorkers they want relief, They want

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 2>someone who actually listens to them, and that's exactly what

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I did.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you regret how this happened? I've talked to a

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of people who say, you didn't telegraph this. This

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even something that a lot of people thought could

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>be on the table, that you could put this pause

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>in place at a very late hour, when everyone going

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>back to twenty nineteen thought it was going to happen.

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you regret the way that it came out, in

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the surprise that it had.

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 2>When I reflect back, I would simply say this. There

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 2>has been a strong reaction by those who have the microphone,

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the individuals in certain media for example, and voices that

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.679
<v Speaker 2>are very strong here from the legislature in the city.

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 3>But what we're not hearing.

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>What I hear that others are not listening to are

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the healthcare workers who are so grateful, the hotel workers

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 2>who gave me a standing ovation because they don't now

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>have to pay almost four thousand dollars more year. The

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>police officers fire for there are countless. The pizza delivery guy,

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 2>the owner of Patsy's Pizza, gave me a hug and

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>said thank you. Because everything would get pushed down to

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the sumer and prices would have gone up.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 3>So I will say this, if there was a.

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Way to mobilize those voices and give the other perspective

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and have media talk about those who simply say, we

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>finally have a governor who pays attention, even at my

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>own political cost. Yes, it was hard to do, but

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I also said I do not want to wake up

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the day after and wish I had done something to

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>relieve New Yorker's pain. And that is real. So that

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>is the only issue I would say. We could have

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>had more of the support that I know is there.

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>We had nine lawsuits opposing this, so at any point

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>any of them could have been successful, and that would

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 2>have been the death knell of congestion pricing. Right there,

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I put in a pause. I did not kill it.

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I put in a pause to consider the path forward.

0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 1>At this time, there was some speculation that you did

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>this because there was concern about the down ballot races

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about before, that you were receiving some

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>pushback or some encouragement not to do this. Any truth

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to that.

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.200
<v Speaker 2>People can always speculate about my motivation, but they ought

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to know I come from a blue collar community.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 3>I know what It's like, when you're worried about it, you're.

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Going to be able to send your kids to college

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and pick up the groceries and pay your medical bills.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 3>That's real for a lot of New Yorkers.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 2>And whether they're from Staten Allen or coming in from

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>NASA or coming in from the Bronx.

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 3>It's real.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>So we will continue focusing on the objectives that are

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>behind congestion pricing, and they.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Are meritorious and I support.

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Them, but let's just give New Yorkers a break.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>My last question is going back to the political terrain

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>here in this state. I've been watching their publican national convention,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 1>congress Woman Stephonic made the assertion that New York could

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>go red. She's seeing the terrain change dramatically in New

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>York State. Is that something with which you agree? And

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if looking back on the race that you

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>ran in twenty twenty two, you're not up for re

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>election this year, as you look ahead to twenty twenty

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 1>four twenty twenty six, are the lessons to be learned

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>from the race that you ran, which I think was

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot closer than there I say you might have expected,

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Expected, and look at the unique circumstances of that race.

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I became governor and had to run instantaneously, like a

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 2>year later. I was already up on the ballot, so

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 2>people did not have a chance to get to know me,

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and there were strong campaign forces that tried to paint

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 2>me with all the crimes that were happening in the

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 2>state of New York. And the ads were so absurd

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>that they actually showed crimes that had been committed a

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 2>decade earlier in California in ads saying Kathy Hocheles keeping

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>you unsafe for Kathy Hockels supports criminal It was crazy

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>how successfully the Republicans weaponized that issue against someone who's

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 2>married to a federal prosecutor. My son's a federal prosecutor,

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and I've always stood strongly with funding and supporting our

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 2>police and my record shows that. So that's the only

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>takeaway from that that was unique circumstance. They were able

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to paint me a certain way because New Yorkers didn't

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 2>know me yet, and now they are able.

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 3>To see what I've accomplished.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 2>So we will not be going read as much as

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody and at that convention would love to see it,

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not happening.

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Governor. Great to see you.

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much.

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Governor Cathy Hopel, the fifty seventh governor of that stayed

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>in New York
