Well, Rob Astorino, a great broadcaster, should have been the governor, was the county executive,

0:12.7

so he knows a lot about inside government.

0:15.8

Rob Astorino, how you doing?

0:18.4

I'm doing good, better than this state and city, that's for sure. So if you had been

0:23.7

governor like you should have been, what would be different right now with the migrants?

0:29.7

They would not be in New York. And I would put my foot down from the very beginning. We would not be
