If it was a separate city, it would be the third or fourth largest city in America.
That's a lot to learn.
I came into this office with a lifetime of experience
And still, things were thrown out at me that was unexpected.
You can't plan for COVID.
You can't plan for 237,000 migrants and asylum seekers to come to your door that you can't stop the buses from coming in, that you can't allow them to work, that you're going to have to provide food, care, housing, and educate 40,000 children.
and that that 7.7 billion dollars has must come out of your budget somewhere you can't plan for this stuff you have to have the ability to use your prior experience and knowledge to be able to come up with the right solutions and build the right team deputy mayor maria taura springer was an excellent deputy mayor and the other team members that i had first deputy mayor
of randy mastro my chief of staff camille joseph violet my police commissioner of jessica tish that's the team you need to be able to address these issues but leadership starts at the top don the leader must be able to address these issues as they come at you
uh first i think it's so important that what you just stated you said eric you have a relationship uh with the current president the president of the united states you know no matter uh who a person votes for like or dislike he's the president of the united states when people forget i had a relationship with president biden i used to call myself the biden of brooklyn
uh president biden came to new york when i asked him to come to look at the problems we were having in criminal justice and the over proliferation of guns in our city he traveled here he spent a day here with me i visited him and spoke with him several times and i went to washington several times and so having president relationships with the president when you're the mayor of the largest city
in the country, if you don't do that, that is malfeasance.
You are not doing your job.
And so because I was able to pick up the phone and communicate with President Trump, we were able to prevent a multi-billion dollar
of wind farm from being shut down.
They had a stop work order.
I communicated with the president.
He heard me.
We lifted the stop work order.
We were able to give 1,500 jobs, 500,000 houses.
We used this electricity in this area.
