The only question is the extent of the fight. And I think the fight would get heightened because Trump would come into New York the way he has with other cities. Term one, he [Trump] sent the National Guard into 20 cities. This is not a new phenomenon for the President, but he never sent them into New York. 20 cities, but not New York. Why? Because he knew that was going to be a different level of fight. Right. But yeah, no, it's, it's a fight. (17:43–17:54)
