00:00Cut the red tape, cut the bureaucracy, just cut to the chase.
00:06This should not be the usual sausage making of pork barrel, right?
00:12My congressional delegation is largely Democrat.
00:15So political custom would be, well, don't pressure another Democratic elected official.
00:23I say that is baloney.
00:25I was in New York City yesterday.
00:27It was a pretty day.
00:29There is a density level in New York City that is wholly inappropriate.
00:38You would think there was nothing going on.
00:40This is just a mistake.
00:43It's a mistake.
00:45We all have to now confront that that is a new reality.
00:50That is not going to change.
00:52You're not going to turn on the news tomorrow morning and they're going to say,
00:55surprise, surprise, this is all now resolved in two weeks.
00:59You want to go for a walk?
01:00God bless you.
01:01You want to go for a run?
01:02God bless you.
01:04But let's open streets.
01:06Let's open space.
01:08That's where people should be, in open space areas.
01:12I play basketball.
01:13There is no concept of social distancing while playing basketball.
01:18It doesn't exist.
01:19You can't stay six feet away from a person playing basketball.
01:24You can, but then you're a lousy basketball player and you're going to lose.
01:27Personal advice, stay home, stay home, stay home.
01:30Whether you stay home, remember the old expression, cabin fever, right?
01:36You stay home alone, you don't want to be isolated emotionally.
01:42If you're not alone and you're in the house with the family
01:49and the kids and everybody's together, that's a different set of emotional complexities.
01:56I remember when the kids were young, what it was like.
01:59It was pure joy.
02:01But I remember what it was like to be with them for multiple hours.
02:06You know, it's complicated.
02:08I live alone.
02:10I'm even getting annoyed with the dog.
02:12The timeline, nobody can tell you.
02:14It depends on how we handle it.
02:16Nobody has a crystal ball.
02:18Nobody can tell you.
02:19Well, I want to know.
02:20I want to know.
02:21I need to know.
02:22Nobody can tell you.
02:22It is going to be okay.
02:25Life is going to go on.
02:28We all talk about being a community.
02:30We're a community.
02:32What does a community mean?
02:34We're interconnected.
02:35We're interdependent.
02:37I rely on you.
02:38You rely on me.
02:39That's community.
02:41That's us at our best, the community of New York.
