Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mackenzie. Were you surprised at New York's new mayor, Zorron
Mundami and President Trump got along. You kind of called
for this earlier last week.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I wasn't very surprised. I kind of expected it to
be honest.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yeah, they got in there and they just said, oh,
let's just be nice and play together and show the
cameras how sweet we wen be, and oh look we
got some common ground here. And they're so diametrically opposed
on policies. I just I didn't think there's going to
be a shouting match, or Trump wouldn't have allowed it to,
you know, happen at all if he hated him. You know,
he's just done like his policies.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't necessarily think that they are that different when
it comes to policies. I think they're different on how
they get there and how they achieve them. For example,
they see out of eye on affordability for New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Well it's like saying, who doesn't want to support children
that have a disease? Well, yeah, who doesn't want to have,
you know, affordable prices for everybody? Well, Democrats and Republicans
do everybody works good things for good people. Yeah, and
you know, helping people out. You're right, it's how you
get there. So we'll see. I think businesses well, I
think mandonnia is is pulled away from the I'm going
(01:02):
to tax the rich and you know, go after big business.
But so far it hasn't been implemented. Businesses were quite
skeptical of that in the campaign said if this happens, tutulou,
we will see it. And you talk to anybody in
New York City A bit nervous about his position when
it comes to you know, Palestinians and where he stands
(01:22):
on supporting the Jewish population or lack thereof. There's also
the whole thing about free transportation and you know, we're
going to freeze housing and we're control it and basically
say shut the door on capitalism. I'm going to control
it all. You know, I just don't see a lot
of these policies coming to fruition because financially, you know,
it can't work. You know, it's never worked anywhere with
(01:45):
this type of policy before. So but once again, the
meeting went well. So the fact that they got along
is pretty good. Here's Donald Trump on it.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
He's from on these communists strive why you feel that way,
and also will you do anything to him from arresting
prime instrum getting up.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Because well, we didn't discuss your second part of the question,
and on your first part. I mean, he's got views
and out there, but who knows. I mean, we're going
to see what works for He's going to change. Also,
we all change. I change a lot, change a lot
from when I first came to office. It's now quite
a while ago. It's quite a while. My first term
(02:23):
was great. We had the greatest economy in the history
of our country. We're doing even better now. We're doing
much better now than we did even the first term.
And I can tell you some of my views have changed,
and we had discussions on something. I'm going to discuss
what they were, but that I feel very confident that
he can do a very good job. I think he's
(02:43):
going to be I think he is going to surprise
some conservative people actually, and it's very liberal people. He
won't surprise him because they already like him.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, there you go, and Mandannie on their side offense too, says,
you know, I got to tell you it went pretty
well for us. He's kind of praising President Trump in return.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
From thought, it sounds like you had a productive discussion,
but just seeds ago to President Trumpa's a desert trade country,
he said his first I hear in Houston having a
fascist agenda? Are you clating to attract it in these
remarks in order to proving relationship.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
I think both President Trump and I we are very
clear about our positions and our views. And what I
really appreciate about the presidents at the meeting that we
had focused not on places of disagreement, which there are many,
and also focused on the shared purpose that we have
in serving New Yorkers, and frankly, that is something that
could transform the lives of the eight and a half
million people who are currently struggling under a cost of
(03:39):
living crisis, with one in four living in poverty. And
the meeting came back again and again to what it
could look like to lift those New Yorkers out of
struggle and start to deliver them a city that they
could do more than just struggle to afford it, but
actually start to live in it.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And I've been called much worse than a desk fund,
So it's it's not that insulting.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You got to have tough skin in that arena. There's
no doubt about that. Donnie also says he and are
going to work together to make New York City affordable again.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I appreciated the meeting with the President, and as he said,
it was a productive meeting focused on a place of
shared admiration and love, which is New York City, and
the need to deliver affordability to New Yorkers, the eight
and a half a million people who call our city
their home, who are struggling to afford life in the
most expensive city in the United States of America. We
spoke about brant we spoke about groceries, we spoke about utilities,
(04:26):
we spoke about the different ways in which people are
being pushed out. And I appreciated the time with the President.
I appreciated the conversation. I look forward to working together
to deliver that affordability for New Yorkers.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Thank you very much well. President Trump also stepped in
when the media asked Mandannie if he believes that Trump
is a fascist. He asked about your comment call the
President and the fascist, and your answer was, when President
Trump and I have clear about our positions.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And our views, are you affirm that you think President
Trump is a fascist.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I've spoken about.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Okay, that's easier. It's easier than explaining it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Gett go ahead, call me one. I don't give a rip.
You know, I'm the President of the United States. I've
been called a lot worse than that. You know, there
are a lot of people that are leaving, you know,
the Ivy League, Northeastern schools as well. You know Columbia
is right there in New York. In Fact one, Auburn
University student Jacob Ruse explains why he believes in new
(05:24):
report that shows SEC schools of a record ninety one
percent increase in Northeastern enrollment between twenty fourteen and twenty
twenty three.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Definitely say politics plays a role in students' decisions to
come south. I was just speaking with a young lady
that's part of our Turning Point chapter here at Auburn University,
and she said that there was a sense of humility
and just safe, safety and comfortableness down here at Auburn University.
It's a lot more, a lot much of a slower
(05:53):
way of living down here in the Southeast, and it's
clear that people care more about the family, god, country,
and that you don't see a lot of that up
in the northeast
Speaker 1 (06:04):
One hundred percent on that one for sure.
