An Unlikely Alliance Against the Mamdani Revolution ft. New York Mayor Eric Adams

34m

Not many elected Democrats come on The Charlie Kirk Show, but today Charlie is joined by the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. The two of them discuss the danger of Zohran Mamdani and why it is crucial that the right, the center, and the center-left come together before America's largest city becomes a Third World calamity. Plus, how much of America isn't even American? Charlie reacts to the news that the Trump Administration is reviewing the status of some 55 million "legal" visas to be in the United States, which has the left in a panic.

Hey, everybody.

Charlie Kirk here, live from the Bitcoin.com studio.

Eric Adams joins the show, and then also we go through the idea that there are 55 million visa holders in this country.

That's right, 55 million visa holders.

Who are they?

And honestly, why don't they have to learn English?

Buckle up, everybody.

Here we go.

go.

Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

I want to thank Charlie.

He's an incredible guy.

His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

That's why we are here.

We have an action-oriented show today.

In just a couple minutes, by the way, we have Eric Adams, Mayor Eric Adams from New York City.

I want to start today, though, with some breaking news.

I mean, there's a lot happening.

The FBI is raiding John Bolton's home.

President Trump did a whole press conference yesterday.

The National Guard, it's gone an entire week without a single murder in Washington, D.C.

And I want to just comment on that, and then we really need to focus on this visa question.

But one of my new favorite statistics is

about who's actually doing the killing and who's actually getting killed in Washington, D.C.

So, all of the critics of Donald Trump say that this is racist.

Do you notice that's the only criticism that they have, and it bears no significance whatsoever?

Well, you know, he's racist for doing this.

Do you know that during the seven years from 2018 to 2024,

there were well over 1,252 murders.

1,252 murders in Washington, D.C.

between 2018 and 2024.

Only 11 of the victims were not black.

Only 11.

So when they criticize President Donald Trump of being a racist, when they criticize President Trump and all of us as being a racist, we're actually the ones that are actually trying to save black lives from killing each other.

Of course, it's black on black crime.

Trust me, it's not the white supremacist, and that includes non-Hispanic whites.

So

it's that 11 were white and 1,241 were black.

Let me repeat that.

11 in six years were white, 1,241 were black.

So when they criticize President Trump for this National Guard takeover, someone needs to say, wait a second, over a six-year period of people being killed, 1,241 blacks were killed and only 11 whites were killed.

Of course, the blacks are largely doing the black-on-black crime.

That's not even what we're talking about.

We're just talking about the carnage is predominantly blacks that are dying, and President Trump is preventing blacks from dying, but that still is met with widespread condemnation.

And Westmore, who's such a fraud, by the way.

Westmore, who's such a fraud from Maryland.

Do you know a black D.C.

resident was 112 times more likely to be murdered in Washington, D.C.?

President Donald Trump should be given medals of freedom.

President Trump should be invited to speak at black churches this Sunday and given a hero's welcome.

President Donald Trump should be having black MAGA rallies.

President Donald Trump should be warmly received from the black community in D.C.

They should be making statues of Donald Trump.

President Trump has done a lot more for preventing black death in Washington, D.C.

Less fear of carjacking, less fear of arson.

And yet they then use the racist label.

That shows that when they call you a racist, it means absolutely nothing.

You should just shrug your shoulders and roll your eyes.

Okay, what else you got?

Oh, racist, really?

Donald Trump's a racist for rolling in the tanks and preventing blacks from dying?

That's really bizarre.

President Trump did a little pep rally with all of the National Guard troops yesterday.

But again, the Democrats, they have no data whatsoever to support their position.

None.

In other news, and I want to really narrow in on this, President Trump announced yesterday and his administration, they are reviewing all 55 million foreigners with visas for any violations.

First of all,

the number kind of took my breath away.

We have 55 million people that are not U.S.

citizens in this country.

55 million.

How foreign is America?

If you live in an American city, you probably find yourself thinking that really often.

If you get in an Uber, the driver is almost always an immigrant.

If you visit a farm, the workers are migrants.

Stop at a university, about 25 to 30% of almost all universities are foreigners.

It's happening all over, and we got a big reminder of that yesterday.

The Trump administration announced that along with all of its efforts to round up and send back as many as 20 million illegal immigrants, it's going to look at the people supposedly legal in America.

The administration says that anybody with a visa to be in the United States, whether it be an H-1B worker or a tourist or as a student, is subject to continuous vetting.

If you become a Marxist and all of a sudden you say you hate our country and burn our flag, you should have your visa removed and return back to your country.

If all of a sudden you become an anti-American visitor, we have every right.

We are no longer going to be suckers.

The press freaked out that the administration would even be looking.

Do you understand how screwed up the entire framing of our politics is?

That the press gets mad that President Trump wants to know who's in the interior of our country.

If you're a Somalian that came here and all of a sudden you are still an Islamist and you support Omar Fatah and Elon Omar and you're not assimilating to the United States of America, we have a serious problem.

Until then, it turns out we've barely even looked at those people and whether they belong here.

In a bombshell announcement yesterday, the State Department said that it's going to be checking for things like visa staying past the authorized timeframe outlined in a visa, criminal activity, threats to a public safety, providing support for terrorism, and directly supporting in terrorism.

Somalis, by the way, are notorious for running scam rings.

And you know what?

That sounds like something that we should have always been doing.

But what does it say that we weren't always doing that?

What it says that our leaders hated us.

Our leaders see the world as, see the world, as 8 billion future Americans who have the right to come here whenever they want, the right to leech off our nation, the right to rob or plunder or loot America.

The administration is finally saying no more.

One of the best signs the other day was when Marco Rubio, who again, Cuban, his family immigrated as refugees and assimilated, Marco Rubio announced that they were suspending all work visas for people coming here as truck drivers.

By the way, if you are a law-abiding legal immigrant who is assimilated, this should be great news for you because it doesn't cheapen or dilute the process of you coming here.

But the media, they are losing their mind over this.

They're becoming unglued.

The masks are off because they say, how dare President Trump knows who's in the nation?

How dare President Trump say that the 55 million visa holders, well, you get Zoran Mamdani because we never asked the questions of who do we allow into our country.

You get Omar Fatah, you get Elon Omar, you got Rashida Tlaib.

How dare we check on the visa granting process?

Not only do we have any right, we have an obligation to find out who's actually coming into our country.

What are they doing?

Are they improving it?

Are you on government welfare?

Do you believe American values?

Or are you just an Islamist Marxist?

And we should have no hesitation that if an Islamist Marxist is here in the United States of America, we should politely say, go home.

You can go do your Islamist Marxism stuff in Mogadishu.

Your visa is revoked.

Now, some people say, well, Charlie, what about freedom of speech?

You're not a U.S.

citizen.

You're not.

You're a visitor.

You're here on a provisional provisional basis.

You are here in a time of trial.

We're kind of figuring it out.

Are you making the country better?

Are you making it stronger?

Are you being able to make us a

better republic?

No.

Instead, what we have done is we have been led to believe that no matter what, all of the

Muslims that come into the United States, they must, or all the immigrants and whatever, they all must just be amazing.

It's just a review and a review shouldn't worry you by the way how many of them are criminals and all the criminals should be sent back home what we're getting at is a restoration of the American citizen and the American person should always be put first America first is not just a bumper sticker or a slogan we're making it a reality

Making America great again starts with making America healthy again.

Charlie Kirk here, I lost 40 pounds with the PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition nutrition program.

And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back.

I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule.

Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier.

So why is big pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite?

They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency.

Take a natural approach that isn't connected to a big pharma bottom line.

PhD changes the way you think about food.

They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule.

You'll learn to quiet cravings and finally release the unhealthy belly fat.

You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication.

Let's just, people say, well, Charlie, what does assimilation look like?

Very simple.

I think you can come up with some objective measurements.

For example, you know, not flying the hammer and sickle flag, not flying the crescent flag, assimilating to core American values, but just one that is so easy and so simple.

All 55 million visa holders should have to take an English test.

Very simple.

Take a second or third grade English test.

Do you know what's a little disappointing is how often I meet people in this country that don't speak any English?

And

I really try to have some Christ-like compassion.

I do.

But then I ask the interpreter, how long have they been here?

Oh, they've been here for 30 years, and they don't speak any English.

Yeah, I'm sorry that

that's an immediate symbol you have not assimilated to the United States of America.

And I know so many Cubans, Venezuelans, and Colombians, and Nicaraguans, and Poles, and Hungarians, and Japanese, and Vietnamese that did learn English, actually.

They came here and they learned the language out of an immediate sign of respect.

And it's not even good for them not to learn English.

It holds you back if you're here.

It actually holds the entire nation back and it creates this balkanization.

A common language is the glue that holds a country together.

Without it, you have no unity.

You just have tribes.

We're already fractured enough as a country.

Adding dozens of competing languages only deepens division.

People always say, well, we're a successful multicultural experiment.

For now, multiculturalism is a very, very difficult project.

In fact, we should have uniculturalism, one culture, Americanism.

We have one culture that you assimilate towards.

One.

We should not put up with all these different pockets of culture.

You assimilate towards the American culture.

Of course, you can have history and traditions.

And I mean, we play Scottish bagpipes, for goodness sake.

The point, though, is that you are Americans.

You're not, we need to get rid of this hyphenated American.

Well, I'm a Vietnamese American, and I'm a Indian American, and I'm a Nepalese American, and I'm a.

No, no, no, you're an American.

And the most important component of that is learning English.

Let's just take one example.

If you get pulled over by a police officer and you don't speak English, how do you talk to that police officer?

The police officer says, oh, you have a taillight out.

No comprende.

Or whatever.

It could be any language.

It doesn't have to be Spanish.

It's an actual technical question I have.

If somebody comes to the United States and they speak Hindi and they're driving and they shouldn't be driving, that's the other thing.

We should not be granting driver's license unless you speak English.

Our road signs are in English.

A public safety alert is in English.

If you come here, you should make yourself a proud first generation American.

Millions and millions of immigrants already did the hard work of learning English.

This is a very simple way to vet the 55 million.

Go through the 55 million and just issue an English test, all 55 million.

I don't know how it looks.

Maybe go to DMV.

Logistically, it's kind of going to be a nightmare.

So sample it.

Do like an audit.

1 million out of 55, you just have been called in for an English test.

And if you can't speak English, then more serious conversations are going to need to be have.

You have an opportunity to learn English.

You could, you have the Rosetta Stone app.

I mean, it's not that hard to learn English if you want to learn it.

By the way, every year we spend billions on translations and interpreters and multilingual ballots and duplicate government services.

We are one nation and one language, and that's how you build unity.

We do not have 330 million interpreters on call.

If you come here, you got to learn English.

We don't bend the country to every nation or every language on earth.

And again, selfishly, it would actually increase their marketability for jobs.

I mean, it's very simple stuff.

And they say, well, diversity is our strength.

No, unity is our strength.

Stop saying diversity is our strength.

There's no evidence of that.

Is diversity the strength in India?

No.

Is diversity the strength in South Africa?

No.

No, unity is our strength.

A combined mission is our strength.

Togetherness,

an agreed-upon cultural identity, an agreed-upon people and purpose, not division.

If a pilot has to speak English to land a plane, a visa holder should speak English to live in America.

Very simple.

Very, very simple.

America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever.

We should be unafraid to do that.

But for the 50, we have 55 million foreigners in this country.

And I'm sure many of them are wonderful people.

I'm sure.

I'm sure some of them are ones that I know.

But we got to take a step back and say, guys, that you're no longer a nation.

You're something else.

You're a colony.

The idea and the perspective of what we think of the United States of America, I think

needs to be a little bit reconsidered because we have this 30, 40-year-old picture that anybody can come here.

Anyone should come here at any time.

And it's just not that simple.

TikTok has helped U.S.

businesses contribute over $24 billion for the U.S.

economy.

That's real money flowing into small businesses.

Like Arizona Taco King, who went viral on TikTok and hit $1.3 million in sales in their first year.

Now they're hiring more staff to keep up.

Or Bluff Cakes, who started as a home baking side hustle and became a national cookie brand, or the She Mechanic, whose business tripled in just a year with help from TikTok.

Now she's in a bigger space with a bigger team.

TikTok is helping small businesses thrive, and now that's adding up to more jobs, more growth, and over $24 billion flowing into the U.S.

economy.

Okay, everybody, joining us now is the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams.

Mr.

Mayor, thank you for taking the time.

I know that you've had a very eventful morning.

It is your first time on this program.

Mr.

Mayor, I want to give you an opportunity to further introduce yourself to our audience and our national platform here of the state of the race in New York City and the stakes, which are quite high and have captured the imagination and the attention of our great nation.

Mr.

Mayor, please, the floor is yours.

No, thank you so much.

And I've been talking about this for several months now,

really almost a year now, about what's happening with our children, particularly the radicalizing of our young people.

There's a role that's

what we're teaching them and what social media is doing with them as well.

And that's what we're looking at in this city.

You know, I've been the mayor for three and a half years, and I inherited a city where we had COVID, over 200,000, 37,000 migrants and asylum seekers.

Crime was high, job performances were low, unemployment was high, and there was really a lack of hope of the future.

And within three and a half years, we've turned around the city, the strongest economy in the history of our city.

And you look at the last six, seven months, lowest number of shootings and homicides and people shot in recorded history of the city,

more jobs in this city's history.

Low-income New Yorkers are seeing the benefit from our policies.

We put $30 billion back in the pockets of working class people.

That's everything from

low-income New Yorkers pay no income tax in the city because of my policies.

Reduced the cost of child care.

We've made our city safer and we're moving in the right direction.

And so now we have a young man who may have identified good ideas, but he doesn't have the experience to do what he's saying, and he can't do what he's saying as the role of the mayor.

And when you think about it,

Charlie, I was a paper boy, a mechanic, a dishwasher.

I worked in

the as a clerk, a police officer, all of those jobs.

He was a rapper.

an assemblyman and now he wants to be the mayor and that's what we're up against and we can't allow that to happen we've come too far so there's there's a lot of truth to that mr mayor and look i will say since COVID, New York certainly has more energy and more spark back.

I don't think it's back yet to where it should be.

And I still think crime, we need to keep on locking it down and cracking it down.

But let's narrow on Mamdani.

And let's just look at not just the polling, but the betting markets.

I mean, the betting markets,

Polymarket, they have a whole prediction index, and they're saying Mamdani has an 80 to 90 percent chance of victory.

And part of it is because of the split field.

You got Slowa, who should drop out.

He's at 17%, or whatever.

And Cuomo's in there.

Is there any hope hope of a consolidation of a field?

Because our concern and our audience, Mr.

Mayor, and we're very non-ideological on this, which is we cannot allow Zoron Mamdani to become mayor of New York City, period.

Hard stop.

You and I both agree on that, and I'm here to help any way I can.

It's a very pragmatic approach.

And you, as a former cop, I know you agree you do not want to see the New York City police force curtailed back.

So is there anyone that is going to drop out?

Is there a consolidation strategy?

Is there a behind-the-scenes meeting?

Because right now it seems the dividing is actually benefiting this radical zeldron mamdani that's a great question that you're asking uh so let's do an analysis of it uh when you look at this distance from the primary

that took place in june madani was at one percent andrew cuomo was uh up in the uh high 20 percent and those same markets had andrew cuomo winning a race in about 80 something percent because at one time he was up 36 percent in the poll.

And if you go back to 2021, when I ran for mayor, I was down 13, 14 percent to Andrew Yang.

And this is a very unique race.

I think it's going to be one of the highest turnouts in our city's history because of the passion.

And then when you look at the primary,

only 9 to 10 percent of the voters voted.

2.5 million Democrats have yet to voice their concern, a million independents because of the way our system here in the city and several hundred thousand Republicans.

And so the train has left the station on consolidating a ticket.

And you had two weeks after the primary to get off the ballot.

Now, no matter what happens, you're going to have five names on the ballot.

That's not going to change.

It will be five names on the ballots.

And so the real call is to get the 15% of people who have not registered but eligible to vote registered and get the numbers out to the polls for people to vote.

Right.

So I guess what you're saying is that we're going to have this divided field.

And so the way I look at it is Mamdani is just going to have to try to get upper 30s, low 40s, and run a very radical race.

I just help me understand, though, if Cuomo is not going to budge and you're going to remain in and Slowa is going to get 15 to 70% just as a novelty candidate, then

this is why the odds are showing in that direction.

Let's just kind of ask this question differently.

At least, will there be an all-out offensive campaign exposing Mom Doni and

what he wants to do and his radical ideas to send social workers instead of police officers?

He wants to arrest B.B.

Netanyahu if he comes to New York City.

He wants to sanction the state of Israel, just as like stuff off the top of his head.

Not to mention, he wants to have government-run grocery stores.

And so I suppose

will there ever be a moment where a deal could be brokered or is just everyone going to stay in the race and we might end up with a radical winning a plurality?

Right.

And no, it's so important what you're saying because the concerns are in layers.

Number one, I think there's a unified call by pragmatic, intelligent people in this city that we don't want Mandani to be the mayor of the city of New York.

His extremist policies, not believing in family, what I believe in, his belief of having prostitutes on our streets.

He believed to legalize prostitution, which is horrific when you think about it, and so many other areas.

I can go policy by policy

on these areas.

And then when you go to the next level.

Please do, though.

I think you should, though.

But

go to the next level.

I do want to make sure we, because

we ought to be more aggressive against this guy, but go to the next level.

I interrupted you.

Sorry, sir.

Yeah, no, it's okay.

The next level is Andrew.

The city I had to fix was what Andrew created as governor.

He succumbed to the far left to do our bail reform laws.

A police officer was just shot today

involving a person who just got arrested yesterday.

And it's because of those laws that Andrew put in place that allow this repeated violent offenders to come on our street.

He passed the cannabis law where illegal cannabis shops were all over our city until I closed down 1,500 of them.

You look at the

number of

our elders who died in nursing homes, 15,000.

It was his policies.

It was his policy that closed the psychiatric beds that we had people on the street.

I had to remove 3,500 people who are living on our streets to give them permanent housing.

And so when you look at the next level, we cannot have our city turn into what Andrew did to our state.

And that is why we must be smart about this.

Yes, the top number one call is to not have Madani win, but we cannot go backwards in this city while we're doing so.

Look, I agree.

And so

I want you to interject more on, just kind of explain more.

on, okay, your vision versus what Mom Donnie will do.

And look, I don't think New York is where it should be yet.

You did inherit a mess during COVID.

The stats are going down.

But what would Mom Donnie look like?

Paint a picture for the audience of what would happen specifically.

There was a big story about how New York Police Department will flee the city.

And who is really his type of voter that he is going after?

And what is your message to a Mom Donnie voter?

What is your message to someone that thinks Mom Donnie is going to make New York free and wonderful and all these different promises?

So kind of bring us more into it.

And again,

you are the mayor of New York City.

I know that you're probably exhausted hearing about Mom Danny all the time, but it's the hand that you were dealt.

He's the favorite.

He's polling well.

He is probably going to be mayor unless something dramatically changes.

So please prosecute the case more against Mom Dani and the reality that he would bring to America's largest city.

Yes, and

I'm not exhausted of hearing his name.

This is the business that we're in.

When you win a primary in a five to one Democratic city,

there's a belief that it's an automatic win.

I don't believe that, but let's peel back his policies.

And it's not only Mindani, that's also important.

And to your listeners, it is the DSA.

That is who represents him.

And that's who

exactly.

That organization.

If we get it wrong here in New York, you're going to see major cities across our country fall like dominoes.

And if you want to know what a Mindani, New York looks like, look at some of the other cities where encampments are everywhere, a high level of crime that's taking place,

failed socialist policies.

And so the idea of making cities affordable, we got that.

And that is what he has sold to people, that everything would be free, basically.

And the issue around affordability.

And I understand that.

And so the concept, we understand that clearly, affordability.

And that's why we put $30 billion back into the pockets of working class people.

So when you say the difference between the two of us, I remember as a child, my mother being given broken promises and just to find out that

those who promised them did not deliver.

He's smart enough.

He has been highly educated from very wealthy families.

He's smart enough to know what he's promising he can't do, such as free buses.

in order to do free buses it's going to cost about three billion dollars he stated that he's going to get the three billion dollars by raising the taxes on the top one percent income earners in our city mayors don't raise property taxes

the assemblymen will raise the property tax.

He is the assemblyman.

He's just lying.

And this is the problem, is that he's just going to keep on doing this.

He's going to keep on promising stuff and keep on lying.

So I have some suggestions.

Mr.

Mayor, we are united in the front that we must defeat Zone Run Mom Donnie.

The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, is with us.

So, Mr.

Mayor, everything you are saying is very rational.

I mean,

I would propose that in the next couple of months, you need to just flood the zone with more police officers, make the subways the safest they've ever been.

Do everything you can, make it the safest city ever, make it that you could eat off the streets of Fifth Avenue, because that will be such a refutation of anything Mom Donnie is saying.

But since what you are saying is rational, why is it?

Where is the disconnect then between Mom Dani's high probability of victory according to the betting markets and what you are saying?

Where is the disconnect and how do you plan to close that gap?

Yeah, and you're so and you're and you're correct.

And I just want to put a footnote here.

The last few months, the subway system with 5.6 million riders daily is the safest it has ever been when you take out the two COVID years.

We have an average of five felonies a day out of those 5.6 million riders.

These police officers are doing an amazing job.

And the disconnect is, number one, I didn't run into primary.

Number two, I experienced probably the most horrific law affair on a sitting mayor in the history of this country.

And I had to get past that law affair and able to now get my message out.

And it overshadowed the success of the city.

No one would argue how we turned turned the city around on every area that you look at from public safety to economics to working families and what we have accomplished.

Now I have to get that message out and use my campaign dollars to communicate directly to New Yorkers.

Yes.

And so the in let's let's kind of close this up here.

So this has become a national race.

You're on a national program right now.

We have a ton of followers in New York City and the state of New York.

And what we want, honestly, Eric Adams, Mr.

Mayor, we just want Momdani not to win.

This is a very pragmatic approach.

And there has to be at some point a checking of everybody's egos.

And when it comes to when the when the rubber hits the road and you are the sitting mayor, so you have a much higher,

you have a much better argument because you've won the mayor's race before than Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Saliwa.

But I think it would be a tragedy.

It would be an unspeakable disaster if everybody just remains and keeps on going if, for whatever reason, there is

a consolidation, if there's no consolidation, and I know I keep on coming back to that point, but Momdani wants all of you guys in the race fighting amongst one another.

Final question, Mr.

Mayor.

How accurate is this polling?

Can these races change very quickly?

And

please, Mr.

Mayor.

Yeah, no, great question, Charlie.

Think about it for a moment.

Andrew Cuomo was 36 points up in the poll, 36 points.

The distance from now to the primary, Mandani was at 1%.

Same thing happened when I ran in 2021, when Andrew Yang was beating me by 13, 14%.

I was number three in the polls during that race.

So what happens, the race really is defined in the last three or four weeks.

That's when people are back from vacation.

They're paying attention to the races.

If you prematurely decide that you're going to wrap around one candidate that can't bring it over the finish line, then you will give Madani the opportunity to move forward.

You have to have the legs to run through the city a clear message.

Andrew spent $35 million when he ran into primary.

His message was heard.

People did not accept it.

Now is my chance to get my message out clearly.

Now, people will say, well, you're the city mayor.

People know you.

No, they know my name.

They don't know my record because I went through 15 months of lawfare in this city.

You were certainly targeted.

And I think part of it, we're out of time, Mr.

Mayor.

Some of the continuing news of all the criminal probes around people, around you is not helping.

And here's my last piece of advice.

Every power you have as a former police officer, flood the zone.

Make it America's safest city.

The same way President Trump is making D.C.

very safe.

If you make New York as safe as it was in its heyday, and I know that is your goal and your ambition, public safety can be a real-time refutation of Mom Dani's smooth-talking timeshare salesman.

I'm going to go promise the world, everybody.

And the more you can lean into that, the better.

So, Mr.

Mayor, thank you very much for your time.

And the last moment I will say, the last thing I'll say, we must defeat Zelran Momdani.

Thank you for your time, Mr.

Mayor.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Take care.
