Speaker 1: While the Battle of Blue States is over, at least
Speaker 1: for now, it was a David versus Goliath matchup featuring
Speaker 1: the tiny blue, stately Rhode Island against a big, blue,
Speaker 1: giant New York State. Now. Last week, Rhoe Island Governor
Speaker 1: Gina Romando put restrictions on New York motorists trying to
Speaker 1: enter her state. State police were ordered to protect Rhode
Speaker 1: Islands borders by pulling cars with New York state tags
Speaker 1: over and forcing the potentially COVID nineteen infected New Yorkers
Speaker 1: into a two week quarantine. New York's CAPPO, Andrew Cuomo
Speaker 1: was livid. He denounced the Rhode Island governor for singling
Speaker 1: out New Yorkers, and he threatened to sue, and then
Speaker 1: he called her up and gave her a piece of
Speaker 1: his mind. As a result, the Rhode Island governor rescinded
Speaker 1: her executive order. New York drivers will no longer be
Speaker 1: singled out. Instead, every driver from other states, including New York,
Speaker 1: will be pulled over when they enter Rhode Island. Now,
Speaker 1: Romando says that it's her job to keep citizens of
Speaker 1: her state stafe, and if Cuomo wants to sue, he
Speaker 1: can go ahead. So the battle of the blue stats
Speaker 1: is over. The winner is Gina David Romando. The loser
Speaker 1: is Andrew Goliath Cuomo. Rhode Island is serious about defending
Speaker 1: its citizens. The big takeaway is borders matter. Maybe we
Speaker 1: will remember that after this COVID nineteen crisis ends, and
Speaker 1: it will end. Mark my word.
