A lot of people texting me looking forward to this conversation.

She really is a firebrand.

We both been described in the media the last two days as firebrand.

Inna Verna Kov, the great Brooklyn Councilwoman, dear friend of mine, and I, firebrand.

She is.

Once again, out of Brooklyn, Ina Verna Kov, who decided yesterday to make the difficult decision that a lot of great New Yorkers have made, which is unfortunately moving away from courtesy.

There's no path to victory.

There's really no path to even being competitive in a loss, which I hate to say.

That's just the truth, to Cuomo.

Ina, good morning. How are you?

Good morning, said, thank you soomo. Ina, good morning. How are you? Good morning, Sid.

Thank you so much for having me on this morning.

Said, I have to tell you, before we talk about anything, I have never been more proud of you as a friend.

Because I know that you started this and it couldn't be easy.

It takes courage and bravery and guts to do something like this because I know that you

knew that you're going to get a much much back, but this is the right thing to do.

We have to do everything we can right now to save our city.

The stakes are so incredibly high.

So I really thank you for starting that.

You really inspired this. And this is something that unfortunately had to happen. We all love Curtis.

We love everything that he has done for our city. He has been on those streets for years and years.

He cares. He's somebody who cares about New York. He cares about the people of New York City.
