I think it tells you that they'd like to have any and all conversations other than the fact that an ICE agent killed a woman yesterday. That's the discussion that they would prefer not to have in this city, in this country, because it's one for which they don't have any answers. And we know that she leaves behind children, she leaves behind a family, she leaves behind friends, she leaves behind an entire city. And this is something that the administration cannot answer for, because frankly there is no answer justifying that kind of an action.

It's hard to truly make sense of that statement. All I can tell you is that here in New York City, we know that it's possible to be a New Yorker, to be an American and also to be an immigrant. I'm one of the examples of all three of those things in one. And yet what we have seen time and again is an attempt to have cities and states give up immigrants to a federal administration's attempt to fulfill its pledge to create the single largest deportation force in American history. And as the mayor of New York City, I'm going to stand up for everyone

Luulen, että tämä tulee monista keskustelua, joita olen ollut puheenjohtajana, ja joita teemme olleet, joka on kuitenkin täyttänyt sitä, mitä olemme tehneet muodostamaan suurin piirtein Yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain yhdysvaltain

but frankly a result of New Yorkers who knocked on more than a million doors, who made more than a million phone calls, all in the hopes of winning the city that they deserved. And today's announcement, where the governor committed $1.21 billion to taking the first steps to establishing universal childcare here in New York City, it's a commitment that will provide universal childcare for every three-year-old, and start to provide universal childcare for every two-year-old in New York City. And that means we will be taking off what has come to be a 22.5%

I think it makes it all the more important to start initiatives with city and state funding coming together in a partnership to deliver for New Yorkers, because we're seeing an attempt at the federal level to play politics with our kids' futures. And I am heartened by the confidence that Governor Hochul has shared in our chances of winning the battle in litigation in court against this attempt. But we need to make clear that not only will we fight to retain the support that working class New Yorkers receive today,

Valtuutettu ei ole vielä pyytänyt minua, mutta olen arvostanut yhteistyötä ja yhteistyötä, joita olemme rakentaneet. Se on ollut yksi, joka on keskittynyt turvallisuuteen. Se on keskittynyt tuottamiseen New Yorkista. Ja minun täytyy kertoa, Jenni, että todennäköisesti viime aikoina se ei ole aina ollut sellaista yhteistyötä majoittajien ja suomalaisen välillä. Se on näyttänyt, että siellä on kaksi eri ympäristöä, joita he edustavat, kun todennäköisesti me kaikki edustamme New Yorkista. Ja olen arvostanut tämän valtaistamme, valtaistamme Hokelaa, jolla on käsiteltävä tarpeen valtaistamme tuottamaan New Yorkista.

You know, I called the president and I said directly to him the thoughts that I had and that I was also about to share with others across our city, which is that this was an act in pursuit of regime change. It was something that was violating both international law but also federal law, and it was something that I was in opposition to. And I wanted to both say that plainly and directly, and I've appreciated the fact that when I have conversations with President Trump, they are honest, they are straightforward, and they have New Yorkers at the heart of it.

I think the reality is, is that for centuries, we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.

And we are going to trend in transitioning to treating it as a

A collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently.

And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.

I was trying to be the host for a second.

You know, I think I am aided by the fact that I have not given much weight to polls and favorability in the past, which is part of the reason why I'm sitting in front of you.

So I think it comes back to the fact that we ran a race on an affordability agenda.

It spoke to New Yorkers living in the most expensive city in the United States.

we have to now deliver on that agenda.

I think kind of the premise of your point is that this is the moment of hope, and then the question of what comes next.

And even beyond the transition as a high watermark, oftentimes campaigns, there's already a temptation of nostalgia for what the campaign was.

we have to ensure the campaign is not the story we look back on.

It's the path to the story that we've yet to start.
