00:00Mr. President, Republican Elise Stefanik has campaigned multiple times by calling Zora Mamdani a jihadist.

00:05Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office?

00:08No, I don't, but she's out there campaigning and, you know, you say things sometimes in a campaign.

00:16Isn't that sort of divisive?

00:17She's a very capable person.

00:19Isn't that a kind of lady?

00:20You really have to ask her about that, but I don't particularly.

00:23I think I met with a very, I met with a man who's a very rational person.

00:28I met with a man who wants to see, really wants to see New York be great again.

00:32And I can say again, because New York was great.

00:36You know, when I came down to Washington initially, the city was so hot.

00:41It was doing great.

00:42We were having some telltale signs of problems.

00:46We had a mayor that was not doing a great job, but still it was moving along and it went bad.

00:54It really went, you know, pretty bad.

00:56And he can, I think it's been at lower points, but it went pretty bad.

01:01I think he can bring it back.

01:03Now the question is, will he bring it back all the way?

01:05Will he bring it back greater than ever before?

01:08Which is, I guarantee, that's his wish.

01:10I think he wants to make it greater than ever before.

01:12And if he can, we'll be out there cheering.

01:15I'll be cheering for him.

01:16Okay?

01:17Thank you very much, everybody.

01:18Thank you very much.
