Partnership for New York City

[laughs]

And, uh, I find myself here in, uh, the partnership for New York City.

Just out of curiosity, what was that four days like?

[lips smack] I mean, I did craziest things that you could imagine.

Quote, this week we saw a huge gift to Miami from Ken Griffin of Citadel, $3 billion.

When people have second headquarters and second offices, the philanthropy doesn't double, said Steve Fulop, the president of Partnership for New York City.

It gets shared between different places when Ken Griffin, who had a presence in New York City and a presence in Chicago, goes to Miami and gives that money away.

It is a loss for us.

And when you run them off like Mamdani, you have less money to do these things.

Two sources, according to the New York Post, briefed on the matter, said Mamdani's closest city hall advisors, known as the bullpen, a reference to the open plan war room where the mayor and his top aides sit desk to desk to plan political hits, are looking to target senior executives with their taxpayer-funded troll farm just months after an ugly spat with Citadel founder Ken Griffin, who, again, just took $3 billion worth of donations and put them elsewhere.

The insider said the self-styled Democratic socialists are zeroing in on top bosses at the Partnership for New York City, explicitly looking to capitalize on a leadership transition earlier this year at the city's premier business advocacy group.

The Post revealed Mamdani was hatching a plot to roll out his tax-the-rich agenda in early fall to try to solidify a massive influx of money from the state at the start of 2027.

But this is the most dangerous thing Mamdani has ever attempted.

Now, there's a thing called the Partnership of New York.

It's a bunch of business leaders.

Remember that awful Kathy Wild ran this thing? They got a new person running it.

A great show to start off the morning with.

Steve Cates, otherwise known as Dr. Sky, what the heck is going on up there? Mike Lombardi, Steve Phillip, the New York City Partnership, John Terrett on financial news.

Sarri Harper, the Carnegie Deli is open.

Listen to the top picks of the day.

Well, Governor, thank you for coming in this Sunday morning, and thank you for expressing your views, and let's catch up again soon.

Well, John, hopefully it'll be next Sunday.

What's going on in New York City? Well, there's nobody better to talk to than Steve Phillip, and he is the president and CEO of the New York City Partnership.

Well, Steve Phillip, we had UN week, a lot of meetings, a lot of conferences.

Hi, my name's Anushri Sridhar.

I'm the Director of Innovation Programs at Partnership for New York City.

We are a New York City-based nonprofit that seeks to mobilize the private sector for public good and ensure that New York City remains the global hub of innovation, economic development, and upward mobility.

I run two of our three public sector innovation programs, including the Environmental Tech Lab in partnership with New York City Department of Environmental Protection and the Buildings Tech Lab with New York City Department of Buildings.

The goals of our program is to ensure that the city and startups have a shared way to test their technologies for greater good.

So let's just like jump in to what is the Partnership for New York City? When we were talking earlier, I remember a few months ago, there's a few organizations, there's a fund, just break it all down for us.

Sure, yes.

So the Partnership for New York City is a New York City-based nonprofit, and we seek to connect the private sector resources here to the public sector.
