00:00I know last week you were asked about this and you didn't want to weigh in, but do you see any similarities between the DOJ investigation into Cuomo right now as he's running for mayor and your investigation from the DOJ? Do you see any similarities?
00:15Okay. First, do you guys realize that I'm hearing a lot of terms that people are saying about election interference? Do you realize that they were trying to have a trial with me during my election? I mean, do we realize that?
00:32Yes, okay. And so y'all keep saying the unfairness of what's happening here. Not one of you said it was unfair what happened to me. Not one of you. No one stood up and said what they're doing to Eric Adams is wrong.
00:47Um, so I'm not, I'm not going to do to him what was done to me. Let him handle, let him speak to his lawyers. Let him, the DOJ do what they have to do. I'm not going to do what everyone did to me and how my name was destroyed for 15 months. Destroyed. And everyone was popping up. Uh, all of a sudden they forgot due process. So I'm not going to do that.
01:13There's a process. Let the process go, go forward. And for those who say, uh, the election interference, I believe Trump was on trial while he was running for president. Unless I misread that Biden said his justice department was politicized. I said it. Trump said it. Children, uh, parents who were put on FBI wait lists because they were fighting for their children. They said it. Come on. Who are we kidding?
01:43No, I'm saying I'm not going to do to them what they did to me in my book. I'll talk about this time, but you got to wait to read my book.
