And we've seen kind of what's been happening back and forth between Mayor Adams and President Trump. How would you work with President Trump, especially when it comes to funding? I mean, look, Elon Musk and Trump stole $80 million from New York City's bank account. I found it. I rang the alarm bell. I got us into court to get it back. Of course, you work with the federal government, but you stand up and fight bullies when they take your lunch money or your $80 million. (06:59–07:04)
