how many tests in buffalo? how many tests in albany? then i have to put together an army of tracers. i will take all of that. but don't make me feel guilty when governor hogan goes to south korea and buys test kits. symptomatic folks could not get a test in western new york. do to ramp uptate testing here? this is an area that has lagged behind. gov. cuomo: as estate, we are testing -- as a state, we are testing more than any state in the u.s. more testing per capita than any country on the globe. that is what we are doing in new york. we are doing more faster than anyone else. better and we have to do more and we need more tests and that is what we are talking about. you asting will educate you are making your transition to reopening. how do you get across the swamp? stone to stone across the morass. one step at a time. make sure you are on firm footing and then you look for the next stone and look for the next stone. the testing tells you where the stones are in the testing tells you when to pause and that is why you need the testing.

you need more in rochester, buffalo, more across the board. that is why i am going to washington. >> when you head down to the white house today, i think it is fair to say you have had to walk a fine line in your dealings with him. him, is criticism for praise for him. how are you going to handle this today? gov. cuomo: life is a fine line. being in government is a fine line. everything is a fine line. tell the truth. just tell the truth. i said to the president -- i said that to the president from day one. he has no problem telling me when he disagrees and he tells me when he agrees. i have no problem telling him when i disagree and when i agree. fine line, you can try and figure it out or just tell the truth whatever it is. think there has been a lot of iscussion about testing, but don't know that people have really -- in many ways i think we are talking past each other. i have seen the federal government's point that it is up to the states and i believe it is largely up to the states but even the federal government will stand there and make

buffalo grove police department, president of the international association of chiefs of police. when this is over, whenever this is over, do you think it brings permanent changes to policing in this country? guest: i think you may see some changes. what we are learning now is the setting changes we have had to make of not sending officers on calls that are not conical calls for service, are there holding them in the queue or contacting the caller back and saying you can take this report over the phone, we are happy to do that and send you a copy. most agencies, like buffalo grove, have a format on our website where you can report certain crimes through our format, and we can take police reports online. those reports will still be investigated and approved. you can print a copy for your insurance company, if you need it. there are a lot of things we will clearly take a look at and say maybe we should do these things more permanently, because this has become more efficient or as -- for us. host: hea

reporter: the tesla plant in buffalo. elon musk said 9, 10 days ago that he was going to start producing ventilators there as fast as possible. have you had any discussions with him, with tesla, and is anything going on at that plant with ventilators? gov. cuomo: does anybody know? i have been a little hyper focused. sec. derosa: we have been talking to tesla. they are not talking about making the entire ventilator, they are talking about a part of the ventilator. they are trying to get ramped up and running as soon as possible. correct. gov. cuomo: the problem with ventilator construction is the supply chain. nobody can make you a ventilator in two weeks. that is general motors, that is ford, that is elon musk. i don't care how big and how powerful. you can't make ventilators that fast because there are parts that have to come from other countries. their timeframe frankly does not work for our immediate apex. whether we are talking two days or 10 days, you are not going to make ventilators at that time. reporter: the pre

buffalo has a problem, we run to buffalo or rochester. when you get up to that point and the locality we are working with to prepare for that high point. on elected surgeries, we stopped elected surgeries for all hospital in ts in the state. that was one of the ways to increase capacity. now we are at a point where some of the upstate hospitals have significant financial burdens because they're not doing elective surgeries which is one of the places they make money. can we have lower vacancy, we don't need those beds for new york city people or buffalo people or anyone else, why not let us start going back to elected surgeries if we don't need the capacity. that's a good question. we have been looking at that. it is my question of balance and the dial. you let them do the surgery and they'll fill up the beds. what happens if you have a need for those beds because of coronavirus and you don't have the beds because someone is doing some form of elective surgery. we'll announce for that. it has some variable of taking the coronavirus rate in

anything anyone needs in buffalo to fight this virus when it hits buffalo, will be there. if it comes from montauk point, and i have to get in the truck and drive it to buffalo, it will be there. that's the way we have governed this state, that's the way we have operated. that was our mentality post-9/11, that's how this state has operated for the past ten years, and that's how it will be going forward. whatever any community needs, we will be there. now, i understand the fear. well, if i lend you my ventilator, what happens when i need the ventilator? that was fdr and the garden hose. first of all, smart is you don't want your house to burn down, don't let the neighbor's house burn down. when the fire hits the neighbor's house, it's in yourself interest to put out the fire on the neighbor's house. not only is it the right community, moral, ethical thing, it's the smart, practical thing. why did oregon send us 140 ventilators? because they're very nice people. yes, governor brown is a great leader. why else? because they see the fire spreading. and they say better we put o

colleagues in another part of the park have arrested someone suspected of having killed the buffalo. in his group and got away. the rangers confiscate the meat of the animals here have protected status no hunting is allowed. that came from their communities of course. they came with. a spear at least. in the process of cutting and cutting where they need. cole incident and they moved in swiftly at the dentist from this specific outpost so. they moved into italy and they managed to one of. their race paras off. the storehouse poaching traps are piling up but. it's an uphill battle the more the rangers find and dismantle the more made by the poachers there are people who have dedicated their lives into manufacturing these some of this. men are made from. boards of motor bikes which are everywhere in the shops so a person will walk into. as if he's going to ride spares for their model break he does not on a motorbike and he asks for the acceleration of clutch cable which he can easily by at a cheaper price and we turn it into a snare and bring it into the park some of the traps collecti

what about upstate new york, the buffalo area where you are at?ost: -- guest: we are not in crisis like new york city is. it is here. we are on lockdown. we are taking this very seriously. aware that our neighbor, new york city, a few hours away, is struggling so much. within weeks, we could be in the same position. host: let's go to bob in auburn, maine. good evening. caller: yes. example that an you are an 18-year-old student who would have graduated in the next 30 days and who would have started college at harvard or princeton orate -- or a similar top major college in the fall. now your father is now going to $7,500ut seven point -- for the next four years. that $30,000w that is going to be higher. think that the japanese are going to continue to hold at 2.5% interest, you know that that is not going to happen. by the time that 18-year-old college student graduates from college, the national debt has doubled. host: the debt we talked about at the top of the program is now in excess of $23 trillion. from your area of expertise, how does that im
