00:00Hi, I'm curious if the announcement today and the update today has anything to do with what you're seeing in Washington, D.C., and if you're worried at all about federal overreach as you're addressing crime here in New York City.
00:17Nope. As we indicated over and over again, we got this. Our number speaks for themselves. And we do need assistance on the federal level to deal with the flow of illegal guns into our streets.
00:35And when we have shown our ability to take illegal guns off our streets, 23,000, as I indicated, and then you have a person that drives across the country and create havoc with an illegal gun, it just really hurts these inner cities.
00:54And so our numbers are clear. We're willing to share what we're doing successfully here with other cities. We've done that before. We reach, we meet every morning at 10 a.m. through Haida with our federal partners, our state partners, our city partners.
01:11So we know how to work in collaboration with our federal authorities. And I think that we are an example of what all cities can do. So, but we're not, we're not responding to some of the things that we're reading about this.
01:25New York is handling the crime situation. Our subways are the safest they've, they have been. We take out the two years from the, from COVID. And so New York, we have it right.
