00:00New Yorkers are facing twin crises in this moment.

00:03An authoritarian administration and an affordability crisis.

00:07And it will be my job to deliver on both.

00:09I will not mince my words when it comes to President Trump.

00:12I will continue to describe his actions as they are, and I will also always do so while

00:18leaving a door open to have that conversation.

00:21I spoke about how my city hall will stand steadfast with Jewish New Yorkers in fighting

00:25the scourge of anti-Semitism across the city, and making that clear in the actions that

00:30we deliver on from January 1st.

00:43Two questions again.

00:44The first one, has the mayor or anyone invited you to City Hall?

00:47Do you have plans to go to City Hall to meet with you in the coming days?

00:50What should New Yorkers know that you were asking from Mayor Adams during the transition

00:55of the city?

00:56At a time where immigrant communities and the people I serve are under attack.

01:01As we stand here today, 1.8 million New Yorkers...

01:04When you got the news and they called the race for you last night, how did you celebrate?

01:08What did you do?

01:09What was the first thing you did?

01:10Yeah, I'm an Arsenal fan.

01:12I have to be honest, when you said you were from Sky News, I just got very excited.

01:16Could you repeat the question one more time?

01:19My message to ICE agents and to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to

01:28the same standard of the law.

01:29If you violate the law, you must be held accountable.

01:32And there is sadly a sense that is growing across this country that certain people are

01:38allowed to violate that law, whether they be the president or whether they be the agents

01:41themselves.

01:42New Yorkers are facing twin crises in this moment, an authoritarian administration and

01:47an affordability crisis.

01:49And it will be my job to deliver on both.

01:51It will be my job to stand up for the city and also to ensure that we do not look at Washington,

01:56D.C. as if it is the reason for all of the problems right here in New York City.

02:00And I will not mince my words when it comes to President Trump.

02:04I will continue to describe his actions as they are.

02:07And I will also always do so while leaving a door open to have that conversation.

02:13Because it cannot be understood as if it is an argument between two individuals.

02:19I have not spoken to Jonathan Greenblatt.

02:21I take the issue of anti-Semitism incredibly seriously.

02:25And last night in my speech, I spoke about how my city hall will stand steadfast with Jewish

02:32New Yorkers in fighting the scourge of anti-Semitism across the city and making that clear in the

02:37actions that we deliver on from January 1st.
