00:00I think he's different, and that can be in a very positive way, but I think he's different than,
00:04you know, your typical guy runs, wins, becomes mayor maybe, and nothing exciting. He has a great
00:09campaign manager standing over there. The president was the president, and those are also
00:14part of the message of our campaign was to take on a broken politics of the past. We don't have
00:18a situation where we're in the wealthiest city in the history of the world. We had some interesting
00:25conversation, and some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have. You know, we had,
00:30both of us, we had the highest inflation in the history of our country the last four years
00:34under the Biden administration. I was going to ask exactly that. Why do you think there's so much
00:39more, you know, so much excitement around what they do in some form of... Because I think he's
00:43different, all right? I think he's different, and that can be in a very positive way, but I think
00:48he's different than, you know, your typical guy runs, wins, becomes mayor maybe, and nothing exciting.
00:55Because he has a chance to really do something great for New York. New York is at a very critical
00:59point, and he does need the help of the federal government to really succeed, and we're going
01:05to be helping him. But he's different than, you know, your average candidate. Hey, he came
01:10out of nowhere. I said, he has a great campaign manager standing over there. He came out of,
01:16he came out of nowhere. What, did you start off at one or two? And then I watched, I said,
01:21who is this guy? He was at one, then he was at three, then he was at five, then he was
01:25at nine, then he went up to 17. I said, hmm, let's get a little bit of trust there, right?
01:32And then all of a sudden, he wins a primary that nobody expected he was going to win. It's
01:36a great, a great trip. I mean, it's an amazing thing that he did.
01:40I see Democrat policy specifically as being a problem, and I'd like that be a question
01:45that both of you can answer.
01:47Look, I think that there are many things in our city where we have to own the responsibility
01:52of it, things that existed long before the president was the president. And those are
01:56also, part of the message of our campaign was to take on a broken politics of the past.
02:01And I ran against a number of candidates who represented different versions of that past.
02:04And what we found time and again is that working people were left behind in the politics of
02:09our city. And what we're looking to do is put those people right back at the heart of
02:12our politics so that we don't have a situation where we're in the wealthiest city in the history
02:17of the world, and yet one in five can't even afford $2.90 for a MetroCard.
02:22Mr. President?
02:23You know, we had some interesting conversation, and some of his ideas really are the same ideas
02:29that I have. But a big thing on cost, you know, the new word is affordability. Another
02:35word is just groceries. It's sort of an old fashioned word, but it's very accurate. And
02:40they're coming down, they're coming down high. They were, you know, we had, both of us, we
02:44had the highest inflation in the history of our country the last four years under the Biden
02:50administration. And we've got inflation down now to a normal number. It's going to go even
02:54a little bit lower than that.
