00:00Mr. President, do you view the mayor-elect as the true leader of the Democrat Party?
00:06And do you think Leader Schumer's and Leader Jeffries, you know, have to follow his lead?
00:10Well, look, I hope they have great leaders.
00:13This is a man that right now I think is focused on New York City.
00:17I really think he has a chance to do a great job.
00:19We're going to help him, but I really think he has a chance to do a great job.
00:23But I'll let you answer that.
00:24You consider yourself the leader of the Democrats.
00:26I think it's more appropriate for him.
00:28I consider myself the next mayor of New York City, and I keep my horizons firmly on New York City.
00:33And I appreciate the meeting with the president, which focused again on the five boroughs and whether New Yorkers could afford to live there.
00:39By the way, being the mayor of New York City is a big deal.
00:43I always said, you know, one of the things I would love to be someday is the mayor of New York City.
00:48Being the mayor of New York, and especially now, because I think you're at really a turning point one way or the other.
00:55It could go great, or it can go in a different direction.
00:59And I think you really have a chance to make it great.
01:02I appreciate what you're doing.
01:03Mr. President, you say you love New York City.
01:05Mr. Mark Dowdy, does New York City love President Trump?
01:08New York City loves a future that is affordable.
01:10And I can tell you that there were more New Yorkers who voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living.
01:17And I'm looking forward to working together to deliver on that affordability agenda.
01:21Mr. President, are there still topics that you see that's who you disagreeing on in the future?
01:25And do you think you'll have more meetings like this?
01:27There will be topics that we disagree on.
01:29I think we'll probably come to a conclusion.
01:31And ultimately, he'll convince me or I'll convince him, you know, it's for the good of New York.
01:37Ultimately, it's for the good of New York.
01:39I don't care about affiliations or parties or anything else.
01:43I want to see if this city could be unbelievable, if he could be a spectacular success, I'd be very happy.
