They are showing Cuomo's earlier ragging of Trump.
He's kicking Trump's ass all over the tv screen.
"Has he even read his own report?"
LOL!!!
could only find the entire briefing -- it's the last 15 or so minutes:

(8,820 posts)The one and only reason that MSNBC allows a few programs like Rachel's is that she is making them a SHIT LOAD of revenue. The rest of the time they remain silent or in fact subtly enable LARD ASS and his band of Merry Minion co-conspirators.
Rachel's show, and a few other's, blatantly shows the Republican's number one quest: "Money, even ahead of Party Loyalty"

(42,770 posts)First of all, if hes sitting home watching TV, maybe he should go to work, Cuomo said.
He said Trumps announcement of new guidelines for reopening the U.S. economy was meaningless.
He didnt announce anything, Cuomo said. Hes doing nothing. ... All hes doing is walking in front of the parade.
Cuomo said he had repeatedly thanked the president for sending the USNS Comfort hospital ship to New York Harbor and using the military to set up a temporary hospital in the Javits Center in Manhattan.
What do I need to send, bouquet of flowers? Cuomo said. How many times do you want me to say thank you?
Thank you for having the federal government participate in a federal emergency, the governor quipped.
Cuomo pointed out that New York relied on projections from the White House coronavirus task force for the number of hospital beds the state required.
Mr. President, if you want to point fingers ... we built more beds than we needed, Cuomo added. Our only mistake was believing your numbers.

(81,243 posts)And now we'll see what's left of trump - after Cuomo mopped the floor, the stairs, the driveway, the street, the onramp to the start of the interstate route from New York to California, and the interstate route from New York to California in its entirety with him.
DAYUM. Talk about being owned. Andrew Cuomo OWNS your ass, donald, you padded bloated orange pustule.

(27,311 posts)trump last night saying he's letting the governors handle opening their states....This was a day after the governors told trump he didn't have the right to tell them how to handle reopening. Apparently, Andrew didn't take kindly to trump's attempt to rewrite history, and dragged trump for all it's worth. Tonight's briefing is going to be lit. Get your popcorn.
stillcool
(32,626 posts)that he provided Cuomo with beds that weren't used, and the U.S.S. Comfort(?) or whatever the medical ship was called. Trump did the schtick about Cuomo calling him all the time, and how he gave Cuomo everything he wanted, which Cuomo didn't even need. Hence the references to the CDC, The White House Task Force, and Peter Navarro. Cuomo calculated beds needed, through those government provided projections. So instead of ragging on Cuomo, Cuomo says fire your own people, and read your own report.

(5,810 posts)I listened to the last 15-20 minutes of this video. I laughed, cheered and pounded my chair! This is a MASTER CLASS IN ASS KICKING. Should be required viewing for all who anticipate needing to kick a little ass in the future.
Key points to note:
Keep your temper under control. (You think better that way and can make a better argument.)
Have your facts handy. Have them in front of you and on Power Point slides. Use them often.
Insert humor as needed. Dont be afraid to laugh at yourself.
Say the hard truths without fear or sugar coating it. Just say it.
Dont be intimidated because someone is a Big Wig. If he is guilty, so be it.
Always use his bullshit against him

(5,942 posts)And the geography lesson he gave Trump - "That's not a puzzle Mr. President, it's a map of the United States, and all those squiggly lines - those are the states," or something to that effect.
I wish to hell every elected official would stand up to the lunatic "leading" our country.

(3,327 posts)not president, shape shifter 45, since he's been infesting the white house. New York, is my home state, I've been watching Governor Cuomo's daily briefs on Covid-19, since they began. He is very informative, honest and he cares about the well being of the people of New York, who he server.
I can't stand to look at The vile orange blob, I tried to listen to the white house briefing , but couldn't to listen to his trump interrupt members of the task force. It was all about him.

In general quarantine/isolation falls under the powers relegated under the police powers of the state in accordance with state constructions and the 10th Amendment of the Constitution.
However, under the Interstate Commerce Clause the feds could likely order some form of quarantine /isolation of travelers between states. This would require rapid testing and extensive tracing of potential exposure, which the states will probably start. They would not be able to exclude the CDC and PHS from acquiring this info.
Also, the executive under the PHS laws, and in conjunction with various other Presidential and federal powers, has the ability to assist the state if the governors request it. The Executive Branch may also order reestablishment of quarantine/isolation of individuals determined to have the disease or been exposed to it. This can be done during a highly contagious epidemic, as declared by Executive Order, and with a determination by the head of the CDC that the state is failing to properly and appropriately deal with the epidemic,
This was analyzed by the CRS in 2014 (IIRC). I reviewed it shortly after it was published. It is their research and analysis of the law as it not necessarily a definitive statement of the state of law.
Most all of the issues above would be subject to court review. Historically the courts have given great deference to the analysis and actions of the Executive Branch, unless explicitly forbidden by a relevant law.
But then again, although an epidemic it can be argued there has never truly been a situation exactly like this before. An appellate court would likely suspend at least portions of any lower court restraining order.
Once more we would likely end up waiting for the Supreme Court to rule. With probable delays it would probably be moot by that time.
Big problem is that it involves executive powers, and the members of the Court have leanings on that topic.
Hopefully, Trumps explicit delegation of power to the governors to determine opening of their state will negate some of the above. That would probably require an analysis of all his statements including his threat to step in if they determine that lifting restrictions is inappropriate.
Note: Quarantine involves exposed individuals
Isolation involves those with the disease
Sorry for the length (seems to have happened several times recently). Just trying to add some thoughts on the issue. Please take it for whats its worth based on your own analysis of the matter and accept that it is offered in good faith.
Edited to correct date of CRS Report from 2018 to 2014
