theway is to clean up corruption of the andrew cuomo administration. we also need to get rid of cuomo's, and core and get better standards provided by our own teachers. we also need to get rid of the unsafe act. right now, the privileged and the well-connected are doing very well under andrew cuomo's term. the rest of us, not so much. that is who i am representing. >> mr. mick are met, you have one minute for your -- mr. mcdermott, you have one minute for your opening statement. >> i want to thank everyone who sponsored this debate. i want to give a special thanks to governor cuomo for insisting that i be here. not for him, i probably would not be here. thank you, governor. listenre to ask you to closely what is said in this debate. don't listen to democrats or republicans. listen as fellow new yorkers. you will get to a point where we can empire were -- can and power new yorkers to take their lives back, so look carefully and listen carefully. please, listen to everything that is said. the libertarian philosophy that we espouse them a one of individual

the question was who is going to be andrew's cuomo andrew cuomo in part. >> i would say i didn't haveose: you tried to be both. help me and i really mean this seriously. nothing i'm going to say to you now you don't know. there is this sense that somehow there is about you something that's somehow rubs people the wrong way occasionally. do you understand that? i mean does that resonate with you at all. it may go back to the prince of darkness in albany. i don't know where it comes from. there's a bit of that because i ask people what should i ask him and they say all the things i've asked about what do you want to accomplish and about foreign policy and about learning from law. but they also say is he. >>nchyp i think charlie it depe. i think campaign manager for my father as a young person created a certain image and was a certain role. and by the way, that blew the job. you're a campaign manager running against the system, it is all up hill and it's new york politics and it is rough and tumble. i think -- >> rose: at all costs. >> well, it's just, this is hard ball and it's the fast

one way is to clean up the corruption of the andrew cuomo administration. we also need to get rid of cuomo's common core and get better standards provided by our own teachers. we also need to get rid of the unsafe act. right now, the privileged and the well-connected are doing very well under andrew cuomo's term. the rest of us, not so much. that is who i am representing. >> mr. mcdermott, you have one minute for your opening statement. >> i want to thank everyone who sponsored this debate. i want to give a special thanks to governor cuomo for insisting that i be here. not for him, i probably would not be here. thank you, governor. i am here to ask you to listen closely what is said in this debate. don't listen to democrats or republicans. listen as fellow new yorkers. you will get to a point where we can empower new yorkers to take their lives back, so look carefully and listen carefully. please, listen to everything that is said. the libertarian philosophy that we espouse them a one of individual liberty, individual freedom, and strong adherence to the con

is there a bit of too much ambition to soon in andrew cuomo? is that one of the lessons?> that was lesson 1, 2, and three. i think that was -- it was an overreach in running for governor. coming out of the clinton administration. it was a terrible political judgment. >> there is the sense that somehow, there is about you something that somehow rubs people the wrong way occasionally. do you understand that? does that resonate with you at all? it may go back to the prince of darkness and albany. i do not know where it comes from. there is a bit of that. i asked people, what should i ask him? what do you want to accomplish, learning from loss, they also say, -- >> i think it depends. campaign manager for my father as a young person created a certain image and it was a certain role and by the way, that was the job. you are campaign manager running against the system. it is all up hill and it is new york halle, and it is rough-and-tumble. >> win at all costs? >> this is hardball and it is the fast pitch cage, and that is what it is. it is new york politics. you do not have the

now for voters working families andrew cuomo is a signal to andrew cuomo that i'm voting for you but i'm to the left. it's a way of pushing candidates to the left in states where fusion voting, but that is actually few and far between. the bigger cases are places like north carolina, places, frankly, like the presidential electio election 2000 which i think gives ajita. >> democrats have ajita given the 2000 election situation. >> but the presence of another line. >> yes. >> you either don't want another human being in that line because they may end upstanding neck to you in a debate, or they'll still your thunder. don't you want to ko-op their message. >> andrew cuomo gave the working families' party a budge of things they wanted from pushing to commitment for pushing for a living wage to internal deal in new york politics where he had to campaign against a bunch of senators who had swapped the senate to republicans. he had given up and negotiated a bunch of things with the working families party. there was controversy but there was victory for labor in the state. >> betsy, there is

andrew cuomo's first run for office ended in a collapse. rst interview about the book. >> i had a blessed youth in many ways. and in my career i was doing great. i was in washington. i was one of the youngest cabinet secretaries. i was in the white house, i was flying around on air force one. everything was great. and then it seemed back -- >> married to a kennedy. >> yep, it seemed like one day i woke up and all of a sudden everything was terrible. it was living my nightmare. i came back. came to new york after a great time in washington. and i ran for office. the same office that my father held. with distinction for 12 years. and it was a disaster. >> you had to withdraw. >> right. >> his book governor andrew cuomo documents his rise and fall in politics and in life including his unsuccessful bid for governor in 2002. and a year later his separation from wife kerry kennedy. you didn't want a divorce? >> no. >> you believed you could work it out you believed you had problems as many marriages have problems? >> you know denial was a powerful

one way we need term limits is to clean up the corruption of the andrew cuomo administration. we also need to get rid of cuomo's common core. we also need to get rid of the unsafe act. i am running because, right now, the privileged and the well protected are doing very well. but the rest of us, not so much. that is who i am representing. >> mr. dermot, you have one minute. >> thank you. my name is michael mcdermott. i'm the libertarian candidate for governor and i want to thank everybody who sponsored this debate. a special thanks to governor cuomo for insisting that i be here. if not for him, i would probably not be here. i tell you that __ i am here to ask you to listen closely to what is said of this debate. don't listen as democrats or republicans, just listen as fellow new yorkers. we have to get to a point where we can empower new yorkers to take their __ their lives back. please, listen to everything that is said and the libertarian philosophy that we established as one of individual liberty and individual freedom. that is what we are here to do. thank you very much and

cuomo ate the andrew that time could not apologize? rex those words are hurtful. he knows how i feel. it was a tough place. i had always been helpful to him , obviously, from his first campaign. i was in washington, i had started a new family, i was an assistant secretary of the department of housing and urban men which is a big deal, a senate confirmed position, etc. i was not in a position to leave my family and leave my job and york.k to new i do not know if it would have made a difference. in the justl that loyalty family sense, i should have been there? yes, i do. >> he also had this thing that he liked to come back to albany and sleep in his own bed. >> always. from anywhere. >> even if he was in san francisco. >> always. >> that famous speech. he came back. if some of that in you? >> not to that extreme. i think he got there over time. ie basic point started that am the governor of new york, i get paid to be the governor, i should be here. something happens, a storm, flood, i should be here. aroundi am gallivanting the country or gallivanting around the wor

it is andrew cuomo. ..

it is andrew cuomo. .. they feel the curriculum and this whole package is a test and punish regime, not a support and improved version. it nears the curriculum, it ignores a lot of other things that are about education, inquiry, question, collaboration, i want local affairs, teachers and school boards to make the decision about assessment the in the with the kids need. they're the ones who care most about kids. mcdermott: , gore is an abomination virtually. i have a nine year old. we go through 3000 homework every night. i end up having to do most of it for her because she doesn't to be. unfortunately, i don't get it either. i read it i don't understand. listen, 8.6 is 14. it's not eight plus two is 10, taken away from six to make for, take eight plus two, at four. eight plus six is 14. that maybe minimizing it. the problem is we have to do a lot to common core and we can do. astorino: it's been an an unmitigated disaster everyone admits that. the role it was terrible. emendation is terrible. this is the fe

these two guys, you could write a whole movie about andrew cuomo and chris christie. this just embodied their two leadership styles so much, which was kind of this, screw the experts -- they didn't even tell new york city what -- they didn't seem to consult with anyone. >> right. we know best. it's shocking. the difference in tone between the event that cuomo and chit chit did on friday compared to what christie -- compared to what comb cuomo and deblasio did could not have been more stark in one event, the city event, all about the health experts. >> technocrats -- >> and then it's exciting for me because i see the deep history of new york city's public health infrastructure rear its head and come to -- >> which is an amazing thing with an amazing history. >> right. then on friday you see everybody panic, and then -- they'd only announced -- christie only announced the state's plan on the 22nd of october, and made it -- gave -- theirses -- nurses union at that event, only three hospitals named. they were in the process of getting their people trained and then they di

so that was andrew cuomo on thursday. one day later, the same governor andrew cuomo and new jersey governor chris christie decided to hold another big press conference together. and at that big press conference they anonced, no, everybody doesn't know what they are doing. specifically, the federal government's guidelines. the cdc guidelines for how to manage ebola risk. they said those guidelines were not enough. they were not tough enough for new york and new jersey and so these tough governors were not going to follow cdc guidelines anymore. they had a better idea. they decided it was a better idea to impose mandatory 21-day quarantines on all medical professionals returning from west africa. ebola does not spread from people who are asymptom attic or from people who don't have the disease attal. but new york and new jersey announced they were going to quarantine asymptomatic people anyway whether or not they had the virus. why? because it seemed safer to them. as governor christie explained at the press conference, the

andrew cuomo has been my best campaign worker. he has pushed people. the teachers are angry. public workers are upset with him. the parents are upset with his common core high-stakes testing regime across the board. schools are underfunded. my city lost one quarter of its teaching staff and cuomo is about go into his fifth austerity budget. in the fracking issue is huge. i think after the election, he is going to go with fracking. that is what this signals say. i'm the only candidate for a ban on fracking and a commitment to clean energy. all of those things is pushing people our way. oruomo created a new party help support the creation of a new party, the women's equality party. and many people believe he is trying to do a counterweight to the working families party, which, ironically, endorsed him, but he really is not seeking their support. could you talk about the women's equality party? >> it is a new wrapper for the old package. in terms of women's equality, he is said nothing about childcare are paid family leave are raising the minimum wage. most minimum-wage workers

working for andrew cuomo is a signal i'm voting for you but i'm to the left. it is a way to push candidates in the left with fusion voting, but that is few and far between. the bigger cases are places like north carolina, places, frankly, like the presidential election in 2000 which i think gives progressives ajita, an i think you see more of a move of libertarian among republicans than greens among democrats because mainly democrats generally have ajita about ele electability. >> but the presence of another line. you either don't want another human being in that line because they may end upstanding next to you in a debate, or you want to steal their thunder, don't you? don't you want to preempt their message? >> look at what happened in new york. andrew cuomo, where he gave the working family's party a bunch of things they wanted pushing from the commitment to push for a living wage to internal deal in new york politics where he had to go campaign against a bunch of senators who would swap the senate to republicans. so he had given up in negotiated a bunch of

and one day, it will be over and that's okay. >> rose: andrew cuomo for the hour, next much

those workers also got a pep talk from andrew cuomo. he went to the training and told the crowd that knowledge and training would defeat this disease. he encouraged them to remain calm and confident -- excuse me, competent in their profession. just two days after that training session, that training in new york has gone from being preparation to being actual medical practice. at a press conference tonight, officials urged everyone to remain calm. they stressed that ebola, while it is a scary disease and often a fatal disease, it is not easily transmitted. no one who has not had contact with the bodily fluids of a systematic ebola patients is at risk for ebola even though new york city has its first patient. they announced that the disease detectives have traced to him and has his movements. though that patient had spent time out and about, including going to a bowling alley, officials said visiting the high line. he did do some degree of self isolation in the past week. >> he did attempt to self isolate, and we are still getting clear t

andrew cuomo, the governor of new york for quite a while.he talked on tv to charlie rose and david letterman. that was pretty much it. we did two things this morning that we rarely do. we attended an event about infrastructure and we went to queens. we asked him about the political impact of the ebola crisis and how he thinks the obama administration has handled things. >> governor, do you have a sense of how ebola has affected the electorate, how the midterms to be affected by it? >> you have a schizophrenia right now or you have two competing tensions lack of confidence in government, lack of police in government, washington is grilt locked. they can't get anything done. they can't pass a budget. oh, my gosh, ebola which now calls for a superior level of confidence. by the way isis, terrorism superior level of confidence and i think what you're seeing is that lack of confidence is now running into a real anxiety about a problem that only government can handle. we don't need government. we don't need government how do we handle ebola? how d

this policy somewhat different from andrew cuomo's warning last week that these travelers, health careght be held at government-related facilities. >>> at the same time, president obama is calling for monitoring instead of quarantine. the u.s. army has decided to put troops returning from these three west african ebola-stricken nations in mandatory isolation. they will not be able to have physical contact with their families or anyone else for 21 days. the administration explains the dufrgs between soldiers and civilian volunteers as a matter of efficiency. >>> an ebola treatment could be the next billion dollar drug from pharmaceutical companies scrambling to cure the outbreak. the u.s. government is expected to award contracts worth more than a billion dollars based on drugs on other potential disease outbreaks like the anthrax vaccine. >>> an early start on "your money." asian shares higher. european shares high her as well. u.s. stock future, nothing much yet but it was a great day for stock yesterday. the dow climbed 187 points. >> remember that awful week we had. >> what did i sa

. >> earlier in new york, governor andrew cuomo and mayor bill deblasio held a news conference alongty officials. here's part of it. >> today testing confirmed that a patient here in new york city had tested positive for ebola. the patient is now here in bellevue hospital. we want to state at the outset, there is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. ebola is an extremely hard disease to contract. it's transmitted only through con tangt with an infected person's blood or other bodily fluids. not through casual contact. >> we have had a full coordinated effort that has been working literally night and day, coordinating city, state and federal resources. coordinating and drilling from airports to transportation to subway stations to ambulances, to hospitals. so we are as ready as one could be for this circumstance. >> the patient is presently hospitalized in isolation at this hospital. the patient is a 33-year-old doctor working with the famed human services organization, doctors without borders in guinea. he completed his work in guinea on the 12th of october and left guinea on the

andrew cuomo listened to the pressure from the white house. anyone returning from africa can be quarantined for 21 days but it can happen in their home. they will be able to see their family and be reimbursed for any lost income either by the state ir employers don't do it and they will be open to unannounced visits from state health officials. it's a middle ground from where he was on friday and where the administration would like him to be. >> what about the chances that the administration has toughened some of these rules on ebola quarantine? is there any chance of that? >> there is a chance of that and the administration faces its own pressure for being seen as not being as tough of the governors of new york and new jersey. chris christie defended his similar roles despite the pressure from a nurse who is in quarantine right now inergy z hospital and says her treatment is inhumane. she says she is asymptomatic. hadadministration, they just the president and his team are likely to step up the rules for those coming back from west africa, no

at a news conference, andrew cuomo said he is try to balance the need from -- containing the ebola with the protection of new yorkers. >> i understand some people may believe the 21 day home quarantine is a burden. i would ask for their cooperation and understanding. remember what we're trying to balance. we're trying to balance aid to protection and the public health of new yorkers , and addressing the fear and concern of new yorkers. >> under name -- a nurse named kaci hickox became the first under care worker quarantine. she is then placed in an isolated tent inside a newark hospital, despite testing negative for ebola. she is brenda fighter 21 day quarantine in court, saying the order violates her constitutional rights. the world health organization says nearly 5000 people have now of 10,000ebola out known cases. but the actual death toll may be significantly higher in guinea and liberia, in sierra leone, the three worst hit countries. on sunday, the u.s. abbasid or to the united nations samantha power kicked off a visit to west africa in guinea. >> i want to say to the guinean peop

could never trust him as governor. >> the governor is supposed to represent all the people, but andrew cuomo only represents elitist liberals in the city. cuomo does not care about you. that's why cuomo forced extreme gun control. cuomo banned popular rifles, magazines, and violated the privacy of law-abiding gun owners. andrew cuomo took constitutional freedoms away from you. take the governor's office away from him. >> trust is everything to me. that is why for all we have accomplished to fix state government, our job is not done until we have cleaned up the legislative corruption in albany, so i am appointing a new independent commission, led by top law enforcement officials all across this great state, to investigate and prosecute wrongdoing. the politicians in albany will not like it, but i work for the people, and i won't stop fighting until we all have a government that we can trust. >> andrew cuomo is spending millions of our tax dollars on ads that are not true. guess what state ranks dead last in economic outlook. cuomo's new york. has the highest property taxes in the nation? cuom

you really feel your taxes have gone down under andrew cuomo? they haven't. in westchester, we cut property taxes but taxes still went up because andrew cuomo failed to do what he said he was going to do and get rid of these mandates from albany. we can be a great state again. plan ont my robasterisk.com. robastorino.com. [speaking spanish] >> i wish this was the first of several debates. i think they had seven in the state of connecticut because we barely discussed the issue. i am falling at 7%, that is a record for a progressive candidate. i'm the only one that wants full employment, who wants a minimum wage that is a living wage, that is for single-payer health care, for full and equitable funding, for full public campaign financing, for progressive tax reform policy that would give tax cuts to 95% while raising 20% more revenues. these policies i think our policies the majority of working-classnd people support. we can win this election. tothis will bring our debate a close. thank you to our candidates and to the league of women voters for helping to nice

we expect to hear from new york's mayor bill de blasio, and governor andrew cuomo. what we've seen, sanjay, the patients who test positive for ebola, when they receive treatment quickly, whether it is blood plasma transfusions, so it gives the antibodies to the patient, that seems to have worked or be beneficial in several cases. and also any experimental treatments and also treating the other conditions. treating fevers and you know, night sweats, all the supplemental issues. >> yeah, replacing fluids. people who have ebola tend to become very dehydrated very quickly to the point where that alone could be potentially fatal. so replacing fluid is very important. replacing even normal blood because sometimes as you know people can have bleeding problems if they have an ebola infection. and then as you mentioned, two other big things. the transfusion, it will be important to see if there is blood available that matches his blood. dr. kent brantly, as you know, anderson, you talked to him. he donated his plasma, a few times full of these antibodies. and we talked about

that was of course andrew cuomo the governor of new york. outside of bellevue hospital dr. mark siegel. dr. siegel, what's the latest from there? >> sean, this is the situation here. the dr. spencer came into the united states it looks like about six days ago. and he was feeling okay until about two days ago. then he started feeling lethargic and he stayed in his apartment. he developed a fever this morning to 103. he called 911. the fire department has these hazard technical units that can actually be test ed. and they will not let them be used for these possible ebola patients unless they've had 80 hours of this training. they came and brought him down to bellevue hospital. he was whisked into an isolation unit in the same area where bellevue treats tuberculosis patients. bellevue has a long history of treating tuberculosis, hiv/aids, so this is a very good place for this. let's hope we see a better outcome here than we saw in dallas. unfortunately, sean, he exposed many people over the past several days although when he was not symptomati

lou: andrew cuomo giving us his end the rationale of chris christie. you agree?at i know needs to happen. we went through this over a decade ago with different terms at that time. looking at the risk benefit analysis for creating a blockade, not allowing people to come in. there is no perfect answer because there are some problems that arise. but what i've advocated as a people need to sit down again with each and every one of these incidences and look to see the risk benefit analysis and make an informed decision not by politics or public persuasion but by science and will be can do to protect the american public. and so i'm sure we must consider that. lou: for you supported them in their mandatory quarantine? >> what i do support -- lou: if you don't want to answer the question, just say so. >> i do want to answer the question. but what i want to say is that before i make that decision, i want to sit down and look at the risk benefit. it's worthy of considering at this point is what i'm saying. lou: terrific and we appreciate your being here and your answer. th

new jersey governor chris christie and new york did governor andrew cuomo deciding to quarantine anyone in their states who had contact with anyone with ebola patients. they can be quarantined at home if possible. the obama administration is arguing what is unnecessary quarantines will discourage health care workers from fighting ebola at its source. >> i'm sorry if she was inconvenienced. the inconvenience that could occur from having folks symptomatic and ill among the public is a much greater concern of mine. >> we are staying one step ahead. we are doing everything possible. some people will say we're being too cautious. i'll take that criticism. >> we need to find a way when they come home that they are treated like heroes and not stigmatized. >> the texas nurse whos who car for thomas eric duncan confronted inadequate issues analyze that duncan told about the exposure to the virus. the nurses tell cbs that duncan originally said he came from africa. only later specifying liberia. he misled officials about exposure. >> what information was it he denied? >> about his travels, about

means more battles with individual governors like chris christie of new jersey who had joined andrew cuomo instituting their own mandatory quarantine. kaci hickox was released after showing no signs of ebola and chris christie said he's not backing down of other health workers return to his state. >> iiam not going to stop boy for a minute ffom protecting the people of my stateeand our region tarmac under pressuree3 fr the white house, andrew cuomo scale back the quarantine for mandatory to vollnteer in his state. >> read my book, you don't have to read my book, but stay in a home for 21 the days will help four another mixed message as der williams and 11 troops were placed into isolation to make sure that they do not have ebola after a trip to west africa. the joint chiefs recommending to chuck hagel that all u.s. troops returning from west africa be placed in a mandatory 21 day quarantine. which puts the president in an awkward spot since he has rejected a similar quarantine for health workers because it may discourage them from treating patients. >> sending u.s. troops into the hot zone

andrew cuomo takes our questions until he runs out of time. >> he talked on tv to charlie rose and davidletterman. we did two things this morning that we really do. we attended an event about infrastructure and we went to queens. we asked him about the political impact of the ebola crisis and how he thinks the obama administration has handled things. >> i think ebola -- you have two competing pensions lack of confidence in government, lack of policing in government, washington gridlock. they can't -- they cannot get anything done, they cannot pass a budget. you see that lack of confidence experientially rather than running into a real anxiety about a problem that only government can handle. how do we handle ebola? how do we handle terrorism? >> do you think the federal response has been handled well? >> i like to stay within what i know. i can tell you we have never been here. much more specific and strict and specific a protocol than before pre-and you only get one slip and one mistake. i do not see any political divider, and -- i do not get that. >> barack obama is doing a great job ma

. >> and attacking the new quarantine guidance enacted first by andrew cuomo and his new jersey counterpart chris christie. >> she knows how to treat and deal with ebola. unfortunately governor kristi apparently does not. >> christy shot back. >> my job is to protect the people of new jersey. would h care workers check on them twice a day to monitor their temperature. >> president o-- obama met with his team. the white house saying it has concerns with the new guidelines. meanwhile, the new york patient who triggered the new policy, craig spencer, remains in serious but stable condition in a manhattan hospital. >> all of this coming as we're trying to get you the correct information about ebola. a panel of experts will answer your questions tomorrow night on our sister station news channel 8. use the hashtag your voice your future on facebook or twitter. the university of maryland is dealing with several confirmed or suspected occasions of viral meningitis. the school has not said how many students are affected. viral meningitis is less severe than bacterial meningitis but still causes head
