Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11.
I do think there are certain times we should infringe on your freedom.
We should remember it wasn't so long ago that confidence in New York was in short supply.
What has changed is that people have stopped working together.
I know how to make decisions and stand up to the criticism every day.
You are safer here tonight than you would be on the streets of any other city in the world.
