00:00Well, thank you very much. We've just had a great meeting. A really good, very productive meeting. We have one thing in common. We want this city of ours that we love to do very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor. He really ran an incredible race against a lot of smart people, starting with the early primaries against some very tough people, very smart people.
00:22And he beat him and he beat him easily. And I congratulated him. And we talked about some things in very strong common, like housing and getting housing built and food and prices. And the price of oil is coming way down. Anything I do is going to be good for New York. If I can get prices down, it's good for New York. And we've got them down, way down from last year.
00:49We have, as you know, I've been saying to a lot of people, Walmart said that Thanksgiving this year is exactly 25 percent less than last year. So that's good for New York. Good for everybody.
01:00But I just want to congratulate. I think you're going to have hopefully a really great mayor. The better he does, the happier I am. I will say there's no difference in party. There's no difference in anything.
01:11And we're going to be helping him to make everybody's dream come true, having a strong and very safe New York. And congratulations, Mr. Mayor.
01:20Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. I appreciate it. Please.
01:22I appreciated the meeting with the president. And as he said, it was a productive meeting focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City and the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers, the eight and a half million people who call our city their home, who are struggling to afford life in the most expensive city in the United States of America.
01:41We spoke about rent. We spoke about groceries. We spoke about utilities. We spoke about the different ways in which people are being pushed out.
01:48And I appreciated the time with the president. I appreciated the conversation.
01:51I look forward to working together to deliver that affordability for New Yorkers.
