00:00 Governor, I mean this with due respect, but how stupid do you think New Yorkers have to
00:08 be to believe that this congestion pricing decision wasn't politically motivated?
00:13 I will never think that the voters and constituents of New York are stupid. Those are your words,
00:17 never mind. All I know is I encourage you to go to the next diner with me and I'll probably
00:21 be there Monday morning. Sit with me and watch the people come over and thank me. That's
00:27 all I need to know. That is all I need to know. And if they were saying we love the
00:33 idea of paying more money to come into this diner because I live outside in another borough
00:37 and I'm not taking the subway today, you know, I haven't heard anyone say that. I've not
00:41 heard a single small business owner say I'm really looking forward to my New Jersey customers,
00:48 the hardware store that was featured in the news just a couple days ago, the owner, who
00:53 says it's going to increase the cost of deliveries, I'm going to have to pass it on to my constituents,
00:57 and my New Jersey customers are already saying they're not going to come. That's real stress
01:04 and real pain, and that is all that matters to me.
