" It was last veterans day when that New York governor David Paterson who announced the commissioning date for the USS New York. Set for this Saturday. And the governor is and a new York state of mind he joins us live today we weren't you sir. Well I -- unfortunately this all came about. The one of the worst tragedies in American history America's attack on home soil today I think sometimes people forget about that but. Just the whole idea that wouldn't that seven I have tons of steel that came. The World Trade Center will melded together to make this beautiful ship was gonna carry Marines and supplies. It's like being in a movie its its owner surreal I'd done. So many people mayor Giuliani will come on next and it is. Just an honor one of the great honors of my life to be here today. We come back on Saturday for the commission yeah absolutely has been christened down south and now it's gonna be commissioned. Coming up on Saturday. The model for the ship is never forget and as it floats around the world is your -- everybody we can't forget. Now we we we can't forget that in the events of that day and I think it woke a lot of us are. To the fear and threat that exists internationally but had never. Crossed the shores of the United States and so that did something to be mindful of as we go through our work can and all those who lost their lives. And those who lost realize trying to save others and last year you establish the new York State Council and returning veterans and their families what does that do. Well I think that one other great tragedies in American history is. That that we have disagreed on different military conflicts and we have not always been as helpful as -- commitment to returning soldiers. France's that they area that. I'm particularly to send in this post traumatic stress syndrome. I want to -- still Germany to the military hospital and met. General Carter -- a four star general the first. Military officer of his rank to admit that he suffered. From posttraumatic stress syndrome we've had people going back to the Vietnam War who could not figure out why they couldn't re engage and society as well as the."
" That sure no governors secure New Yorkers double -- politics recently you. Up pressure's been brought you by the White House suggesting that you should step aside not run for reelection. Maybe they feel they've done in her -- the attorney general. -- a better shot at getting real -- getting elected. Governor here in New York State. Meantime there's some the Democrat party who had suggested that they -- and Hillary Clinton even though she's currently secretary of state she might want to run for governor. New York if Hillary decides to leave her job. As secretary of state. And run for governor. Would you consider stepping aside and supporting -- every day I get another speculative question you know what would happen if I don't know. PM Mariano Rivera decides he wants to run for governor and now it is the all time closer in baseball as if he wants to -- they'll let insisted that Hillary does lessen the reality is. Then I'm running for governor. And hold New Yorkers so we'll we'll. Said that if I wanna run for governor that I should. And that that they reserve the right to pick the next government people of new York and I'm gonna make sure they get that opportunity. The governor if you decide. Going forward that you don't want to reveal that are the odds are we in another one of these pictures yeah I'm -- I'm situation about your you know from your political guy. Politically you decide not to run in Hillary does decide to run which -- supporter."
" That calls for about three of four. Things to happen that haven't happened okay we have things happening every day in this state we have three billion dollar deficit and I'm kind of close. I don't really have time to engage in the fears and anxieties. The speculation is on the remote consequences of every situation. All I know. Is that we have spent money in this say that we don't have and all -- know that 49 of the fifty states are in deficit and as a national policy we've got to do something. To close that gap because -- we don't do that it won't matter -- governor you're no matter who's in leadership our country will be in default."
" I know one thing for sure. You would say that you support. The New York Yankees won last night right absolutely but even a met fan message -- head -- the working class absolutely in fact we got that mayor Giuliani came right over -- next two Gretchen. He is coming up governor we thank you very -- coming out today you're thinking what -- right here on the USS New York. Thanks so much more live from the USS New York on this very special edition of FOX & Friends who are -- two minutes stay with us."
" This -- and the -- And yeah yeah day okay. And he could be a high end the -- I needed. These -- exactly that he is that. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah I mean Tuesday and -- winds. Near. -- at night and there. I'll donate it is. You OK it's not."
