00:00Thank you so much for everyone for being here.
00:02It is such a pleasure to be celebrating St. Patrick's Day in our city.
00:06And today was a lovely way to start it with a breakfast at Gracie Mansion before we went to St.
00:11Patrick's Cathedral.
00:12And a real occasion to celebrate the incredible contributions of Irish Americans to not only the legacy and the history
00:18of this city, but the future of it as well.
00:20And I'm looking forward to taking the questions that you may have about the state.
00:24Thank you. We're going to start with Marcia, then we'll go over to the deck. Go ahead.
00:26Mayor, at the breakfast, we were talking about the contributions of Irish Americans made in supporting the power of the
00:32New York Times.
00:33Yes, I was saying that the Irish are one of the most classic Irish attributes is that of solidarity.
00:39And what we've seen time and time again is that it has been the Irish who have been standing up
00:44whenever there has been a person or a people oppressed,
00:46whether it has been being the first Western government to ban South African goods during apartheid,
00:52or it has been this very former president that we honoured today standing up in support of fallacy and freedom.
00:58And I think people know that about the Irish.
01:00And even that that is true, even though the Irish have often had solidarity withheld from them,
01:04especially as we know that when Irish Americans first came to these shores,
01:07they found a number of businesses that would hold signs outside saying Irish need not apply.
01:12And it is truly a testament to the Irish spirit of perseverance, of struggle, and solidarity that we are here
01:18in this city today.
01:19So I'm looking for networking.
01:21I always say inspiration from the Irish, absolutely.
01:23Go ahead.
01:24I've been talking to Archbishop Mix after skipping his installation, and you know, how does that go?
01:28How does the buffer zone go?
01:30So I had the pleasure of having a sit-down with Archbishop Mix yesterday,
01:34and it was truly a joy to get a chance to sit with him and celebrate the fact that both
01:39of us are beginning our leadership journeys
01:40at roughly the same time here in New York City.
01:42And I shared with him the inspiration that I take from the scripture and the focus on the cause of
01:47the widow,
01:47on the cause of the orphan, on the cause of the stranger,
01:49and how the church has so often been at the forefront of fighting for those very New Yorkers.
01:54It'll be a real pleasure to work together with the church.
