Discussion on Mayor's Potential and Immigration

S- uh, the mayor, you said Mr. President that the mayor-

Sorry, just before you go, the president is saying he can answer a

couple more

questions.

Oh, okay, great.

Yeah.

Um, so for both of you then, um, Mr. Mayor, the

president said that he hopes that you'll be a great mayor.

I wonder, um, what your thoughts are about that.

Also, tell us what the conversation was around TPS and immigration overall.

And then also a question for the president:

What made you think about today's,

um, I guess, uh, discussion and your time with the mayor

that made you think

he was gonna be a great mayor, or that you hope he's gonna be great

when you've had

so many criticisms for him in the past?

You know, I'll, I'll leave it to New Yorkers on your first

question to make their

judgments. Um, on, on your second question,

as the president said,

uh, I shared my, my very strong opinions about how we can

keep New

Yorkers safe, how we can keep immigrant New Yorkers

safe, and how important

immigrant New Yorkers, especially Haitian New Yorkers,

are not only to the fabric

of our city, but also to our city's economy,

to so many of the industries that

build our city, and the stability that is in the president's hands, and I

appreciate the conversation that we had and,

and the consideration to that end.

And I'll... You had your third question for the

president.

No, I, I certainly hope he will be a great mayor.

You have to understand, I want what's good for New York,

I want what's good for the

country. So if I had a choice of having him be a

bad mayor

or a horrible mayor, I don't want that.

I want him to be a great mayor, and he's certainly got potential.

Got great potential.

Thank you so much. That's all the time we have.

Thank you all. Bye.

I think it's

extraordinary. Thank you, mayor. You've been great.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much,

everybody.

See you guys.

Can you talk about ISIS, Mr. President?
