00:00Morning, Mayor.
00:01So the third lawsuit was filed last week
00:03against Tim Pearson in your administration.
00:05And this one suggested that the FBI was investigating
00:09something about his role.
00:11I'm wondering if you believe that's
00:12a separate investigation from the FBI
00:15into your administration, you know, one about Pearson,
00:18maybe one about Winnie Greco, maybe
00:19one about Turkish influence.
00:20Are these three separate things?
00:21Is this one connected thing?
00:23And also, have anybody in your administration
00:26been subpoenaed, been talking?
00:28And then, totally separately, it's a year out
00:30from the 2025 primaries.
00:32I'm wondering what you think about ranked choice voting.
00:34I haven't heard you talk about that.
00:37It's not ranked on the top things on my list, you know?
00:40I have a whole city going on, and that's low on my ranking,
00:46you know?
00:47So listen, the job of this team here,
00:52we say over and over again, we have
00:56to stay focused on running the city during the most
00:58complex time.
00:59And that is our great level of discipline.
01:01This administration, we don't get caught up
01:04in all these other items.
01:06All these processes will take its place.
01:08And let them take their place.
01:11And they can't be controlled through the media.
01:13They have to be controlled through thorough reviews.
01:16And that's my response.
