he's a republican in westchester. >> a big win in november. >> really big win. >> yeah, pro-gun, anti-gayife republican, right, who won a sweeping election victory, and he won it on taxes, right? that's often how you see republicans come in in these states. he can win on taxes if the ruling party, the democrats can't get it together on keeping taxes in line, property taxes, especially, are very high in westchester. what we saw here is him focusing like a laser on the message of taxes. his democratic opponent kind of flailing, calling him a tea party guy. it didn't work. i think that is actually a roadmap for the party in a state like this, although i think it would be easier if you have a republican more in the bataki mode, who is pro-environment, has one single issue where he's more left than right. >> susanne, andrew cuomo, how serious are his presidential ambitions? >> that's a good question. i mean, i think right now a lot of it is dependent on will hillary run. >> of course. >> and 2016 is coming up. he's going for a second term now. and i think right now, his line is he's very focus

she's from the maria fareri children's hospital at westchester medical center. so, why are ticks trouble? >> so, not all ticks are trouble. certain ticks can carry diseases that they can transmit to people, and those are the ticks that are trouble. >> what sort of diseases can they carry? >> so, that depends on where you live. certain ticks can cause diseases such as lyme disease. another one is rocky mountain spotted fever. and there's lots of other diseases that you see throughout the country. just depends on where you live. >> so, how can we avoid being bitten by ticks? >> so, ticks like to live in wooded areas, long, high grassy areas. when you're going into those areas, you should wear long sleeves, long pants. you should tuck your pants into your shoes and socks, and wear bug spray, spray bug spray, preferably one that has deet in it. and light-colored clothing is also something good, so if the tick is on your clothing or starting to crawl, then you can easily identify it and pick it off. >> okay, so we do all that. are we done? >> no. the most important t

i bought it in new york, westchester county.was simple, i bought it at the westchester mall. >> the short hills mall is where elon musk is one of his new jersey shops. what do you think about this? >> i think it's a great car. consumer reports rated at 99 or something. it's fantastic. i think it's a silly discussion. if they don't allow them to sell it, they will show room it and not for the price on it and tell people they have to go to connecticut or new york to buy the car. it will not stop the consumer from buying the car. it's just hurting new jersey in terms of any sales tax or revenue they will be getting from the sales. i'm not sure i understand that. i think it is protecting an antiquated system. progress says there is another way to do business. we should open it for the new way to do business. >> do you hate buying a car from an auto dealership? >> i have several other cars that are not teslas and we have had long-term relationships with a number of dealers. >> what color is your model s? >> it is silver. >> nice. up,

income tax, 10% state income tax, city taxes, county taxes, you got the highest property taxes in westchesterll can't, still more people are in poverty. what are they doing wrong that ten states are doing right? why did three and a half million people leave new york? >> richard fisher said, who is the head of the fed, if you took out middle class jobs created in texas you'd be underwater in that sector. middle class jobs the lesson is straight forward if you will empower people, people long for freedom from overtaxation and overlitigation, freedom from overregulation if you free them from that, then, the jobs will be created. we shouldn't be having a conversation about minimum wage we ought to be having a conversation about maximum wage. 95% of the jobs in the last ten plus years, over 7% of all of the jobs in the private sector were created in texas. 95% of those, sean, were above minimum wage. >> two things i see as an outsider watching texas with an eye of maybe moving there. in all seriousness. i watch oil, on private lands because federal leases are down 50%. >> right. >> got it. okay. a
