Given the declining cases, given declining hospitalizations, that is why we feel comfortable to lift this in effect tomorrow.

So, New Yorkers, this is what we`ve waited for, tremendous progress after two long years.

We`re not in a good place. I`m going to be really honest with you. This is the winter surge we predicted.

What do you see in their eyes, I see two things. I see their commitment to doing what`s right. They want to help people. They want to be there for them. But also, there`s an exhaustion setting it.

This is not March of 2020. It is not even December of 2020. They`re not comparable to what we went through when we did not have vaccinations and boosters and the knowledge we have now.

This is a very bad day for Donald Trump and the NRA when we have Tish James, one of the finest attorney generals in the country, very focused on making sure that justice is done.

This was a very bad day for Donald Trump

We are over it. We are done. We want to move on. And the only way we can do that is to ensure that everyone is vaccinated.

I wear my vaccinated necklace all the time to say I`m vaccinated, all of you. Yes, I know, you`re vaccinated. You`re the smart ones. But you know, there`s people out there who aren`t listening to God, what God wants, you know this, you…

As you heard in the earlier songs today and they`re so beautiful and I thank them for lifting my heart and my soul listening to music. One of the messages was, God will keep his promise to you. And here`s my promise to you, my friends, I…

Everything I have done in life has been because of the Grace of God leading me to that place. And now God has asked me to serve humbly as your servant, as your governor.

You need to be assured that the person taking care of you is not going to give COVID to you or your newborn.

I want them to trust their leaders once again, and I`m committed to making sure that that happens under my watch.

We have found that balance and we think President Joe Biden and leaders, Senator Chuck Schumer, majority leader, and Kirsten Gillibrand, were delivering the dollars to New York state so we can help solve this crisis.

That`s what Gavin Newsom stood for and that`s what I`m standing for in the state of New York.

I`m going to use my energy and my resources to make sure that happens, as well.

This is just -- I can’t believe this is even going on in our country and with so disgusting to me is our own Supreme Court and we saw this possibly coming but actually, the reality hit us hard the Supreme Court will not stand up and…

What are they thinking?

They don’t seem to care about it. I mean, all they want to do is control women’s bodies in their state.

I want them to know there is a symbol that they need to look at when they’re trying to figure out what to do in their lives and that symbol has been with us since 1886 in the New York harbor. That’s a strong powerful woman with her hand up…

That’s grotesquely unfair what they are expecting people to do.

I guarantee I did not know I was pregnant with my first child at six weeks. I actually went on a white water rafting trip it turns out at three months because I didn’t know I was pregnant. That’s the reality of real people. We don’t always…

We are at least $50 million in damages and we anticipate the numbers to go up. But I did trigger the threshold that we are eligible to apply for a major declaration assistance.

What`s so fascinating is that the records that were broken in Central Park, for example, 3.15 inches in one hour. It broke a record literally set one week earlier. That says to me that there are no more cataclysmic unforeseeable events. We…

I'm going to be demanding answers. I want to know who knew what, when, and what could have been done differently.
