| 0:00.0 | Mr. New York, Mark Simone, on W-O-R. |
| 0:05.0 | Hey, we're reopened. |
| 0:08.0 | New York has reopened. |
| 0:09.0 | It was 472 days that we were in that pandemic. |
| 0:15.0 | 4702 days. |
| 0:17.0 | Remember it began? |
| 0:19.0 | It was March last year. I guess it was late April, beginning of March. When did the lockdown begin? It was March 15th or March 20th or something like that. Right around St. Patrick's Day. So, yeah, that's right. But it was late April where everybody started talking about locking down. And remember, Governor Cuomo was late on the lockdown. I remember, this is hard to believe, but Mayor de Blasio was ahead of him, thinking ahead of him. Remember Mayor de Blasio said, we've got a lockdown. We're going to have to shut the school system. And the governor stepped in and said, absolutely not. |

If you go around some |
| 1:31.4 | restaurants, you'll see out on the street, they've put those plexiglass dividers that they had |
| 1:35.9 | in between tables. Those are all gone. If you're just joyous over this reopening, everything |
| 1:43.0 | back to normal, remember one part of it is restaurants no longer required to space the tables out. |
| 1:51.6 | Back to the old system where the next table is half an inch from you. |
| 1:56.2 | So you'll see that starting to happen. |
| 1:59.4 | Back to normal. |
| 2:00.8 | Hey, the big debate is tonight. |
