different thinking to your new role right like I saw the the new slogan that will welcome folks to Manhattan uh you know hello gorgeous right as you know like that doesn't that feels like something someone has said years ago and they've been like no that that's too silly we're we're not silly we're a city and it's like no you got to do something so how are you starting to kind of bring that Tyler um uh kind of special sauce to to your new world of politics to to in essence still do the same thing you always do which is get attention and make people interested in things

yeah i and i think it i think our big wins so far in the office again lends itself to the exclusivity that exists wherever you are and so the first example of that for us was back in february the trump administration removed the pride flag from from stonewall The Stonewall Inn and the Stonewall National Monument and the borough president, he's the first openly gay borough president in the history of the city, has always been a major leader on issues like that.

So he was uniquely positioned to take a major role in the response to that.
47:33
And we, you know, kind of, you know, broke that story, created the rally around it.
47:38
There was some incredible legal groups who fought in the courts on that front.
47:42
But kind of being the lead voice on that story lent us to a ton of exposure, whether it was in new media or old media.
47:50
On the sign, again, that's another exclusive power that the borough president has.
