You know, I want to take this moment
because you spoke about President Trump, and you
may be watching right now, and I just
want to speak directly to the president, which
is that I will not be a mayor
like Mayor Adams, who will call you to
figure out how to stay out of jail.
I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew
Cuomo, who will call you to ask how
to win this election.
I can do those things on my own.
I will, however, be a mayor who's ready
to speak at any time to lower the
cost of living.
That's the way that I'm going to lead
this city.
That's the partnership I want to build, not
only with Washington, D.C., but anyone across
this country.
I think it's important because too often the
focus on the needs of working-class Americans,
working-class New Yorkers, are put to the
side as we talk more and more about
the very kinds of corrupt politicians like Andrew
Cuomo that delivered us into this kind of
crisis.
