Episode Overview

In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, NYC Mayor Eric Adams returns to The Breakfast Club to address major topics as he seeks reelection in 2025. The discussion covers the mayoral race, perceptions of his leadership, city crime, media coverage, criticism from political opponents (notably Zohran Mamdani), handling of migrant and asylum seeker influx, and broader issues of race, policing, and public policy.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mayoral Race and Dropout Rumors

• Media-Driven Speculation: Adams addresses persistent rumors about him dropping out of the 2025 mayoral race, attributing them to deliberate media tactics meant to undermine his campaign by damaging fundraising prospects.
  • Quote: "When you hear that the mayor's dropping out over and over again, your funders are gone." (03:32)
• Financial Hurdles: He explains how ongoing court battles over $4 million in campaign financing have critically restricted his outreach capabilities and impacted his re-election run.
  • Quote: "Now I'm in court with campaign finance board... They owe me $4 million. They don't want to give it to me." (03:33)

2. Shift in Public Perception

• Media Influence vs. On-the-Ground Reality: Adams believes negative media coverage, not actual policy outcomes, is the root of declining approval. He points out a lack of reporting on his achievements, especially in housing, education, foster care, and minority business growth.
  • Quote: "Where do people get their opinions from? They pick up the papers..." (04:49)
  • Quote: “Nobody knows my story.” (05:43)
• Engagement with Communities: Adams insists he maintains a unique presence among the people and lists numerous data points and personal stories reflecting his involvement.
  • "I've never stopped being among...[people say] Eric is among us." (09:00)

3. Crime, Public Safety, and Perception

• Metrics vs. Feelings: While statistics show crime is down, Adams acknowledges people’s daily experiences often lag behind the numbers, shaped by sensational headlines and memory of past city violence.
  • Quote: "It doesn't feel as safe as the numbers would say it was. Why do you say that?" — DJ Envy (10:35)
  • Quote: "Sometimes people are living in the past of what they felt before." (11:23)
• Policing Strategy: Adams credits a mix of visible policing on subway platforms and mental health interventions for crime reduction, mentioning historic drops in shootings and homicides and significant removals of illegal firearms and street homelessness.
  • Quote: “The lowest numbers of shootings and homicides in the first seven months of this year in the history of the city.” (09:08)

4. Leadership Team, Diversity, and Political Attacks

• Historic Appointments: Adams highlights the unprecedented diversity of his administration, linking attacks on his character and leadership to discomfort with his empowerment of minorities.
  • Quote: "You don't have enough gray haired white men around you. You looked at my administration, brother, [it] looked like us." (13:49)
• Comparison to Previous Black Mayors: He draws parallels with past black mayors, noting how media and political opposition eroded their support bases.
  • “This is the same thing happened with David Dinkins... they eroded his base of support.” (14:07)

5. Media Criticism, Race, and Narrative Shaping

• Role of the Press: Adams repeatedly asserts that both positive and negative perceptions of mayoral leadership in Black communities are driven by media narratives, especially from white-dominated outlets.
  • Quote: "I think we're underestimating the power of the media in this city..." (14:52)
• National Context: He notes that "black mayors across the country" were targeted with the migrant influx and associated crises.

6. The Migrant & Asylum Seeker Crisis

• Federal Promises vs. City Responsibility: Adams argues that NYC's role as a sanctuary city means providing essential services, not encouraging unregulated immigration, and he blames the federal government for the funding and policy burden.
  • Quote: "It was the federal government responsibility to seal the border..." (16:39)
• Long-Term Costs: He describes the $7.2 billion migrant crisis hit as a driver of painful trade-offs—a loss of resources for housing, education, and youth programs.

7. Campaign Messaging and Opponent Critique (Zohran Mamdani)

• Challenges From the Left: Adams is critical of challenger Madani's campaign, calling his platform unrealistic (“snake’s oil salesman”—25:49). He claims Madani's promise to freeze rents is empty, as most rent categories can't be frozen by mayoral fiat.
• Perception vs. Reality: He argues Madani successfully exploits the “pain” of working-class voters, while Adams’s real, data-driven measures for affordability get little media attention.
  • Quote: “Perception is reality.” (21:18)

8. Policing, Reform, and NYPD Misconduct

• Rising Misconduct Reports: When challenged about increases in NYPD misconduct, Adams points to both easier reporting practices and systemic issues. He stresses his record of police reform, including his founding of "100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care."
  • Quote: "Police abuse and misconduct is not new...this is what I've always fought for, to make sure we could have safety and justice at the same time." (29:00)

9. Trump, Corruption Charges, and Political Independence

• Dismissal of Indictment: Adams defends himself against allegations that he is beholden to Trump after a federal indictment was dismissed, clarifying the legal record and emphasizing the political roots of many attacks against him.
  • Quote: "It was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't come back." (33:59)

10. Poll Numbers, Campaign Viability, and Strategy

• Despite being fourth in the polls, Adams is confident based on past upsets and insists campaign funding is necessary to communicate his story directly to voters.
  • Quote: “The only one that's running for mayor that has ever won mayor is me.” (36:38)

11. Social Media & Old vs. Young Voters

• Adams admits his social media engagement is a weak point and not a personal focus, emphasizing traditional campaigning to reach 55+ consistent voters.
  • Quote: “I'm not a social media expert. I don't know, I'm the first to tell y'all...” (38:01)

12. Brooklyn, Gentrification, and Support Bases

• When prompted about Madani’s supporters, Adams warns against “classist” gentrifiers who displace original community members, without equating this trend to any particular race.
  • Quote: "Gentrification to me is not ethnicity...It's a mindset. Classism." (42:51)

[DJ Envy]

The Breakfast Club. Lon Larose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, the mayor of New York City. Mayor Eric Adams.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Welcome.

[Eric Adams]

Good to be here. Nice to be here and talk about the city.

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling, brother?

[Eric Adams]

Good, man. You know, I mean, I took my hand off the steering wheel a long time. Let go. Let God turn on my gps. My God position the satellite. He got me here. He's gonna take me to the next level.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know the question everybody keeps asking? Are you dropping out of the Merrell race?

[Eric Adams]

And you know what? I answered that 101 times. And no matter how I answer it, they come back with the same. Seven weeks ago, when they first raised that, I had something at Gracie Mansion. I said, listen, I'm here to the end. They wrote that he's dropping out. They say, then he's going to. He's going to Saudi Arabia. I said, no, I'm not. Then they wrote I was going to be heard. No, I'm not. I was going to meet Donald Trump at Yankee Stadium. No, I did not. What people don't understand when you run for mayor, one of the most important aspects of running for mayor is raising the money. People couldn't beat me at the polling site, and so they orchestrated and organized to really undermine my campaign. When you hear that the mayor's dropping out over and over again, your funders are gone. Now I'm in court with campaign finance board. They owe me $4 million. They don't want to give it to me. I spent $8 million the last time I ran. I'm down to now half of that now. So they have undermined my ability to get my message out by making sure they cut off all the ways I could raise money to get it done. So now I'm in a point. Now when I'm meeting with my funders, they say, eric, they keep telling me you're dropping out. So our goal is to finish this race, but we have to win this court. That's in case. This case that's in court right now to get our $4 million.

[DJ Envy]

I do have a question. When you first came in office, it seems like the city loved Mayor Adams, right? They loved you. Loved the fact that you were touching the people. You were outside. You were doing things that a lot of mayors wouldn't like. You were on 42nd street giving away food. You were doing a lot for the city. You were popping up in Harlem, in Brooklyn, in Queens. And then it became a turning point where people started to not like Mayor Adams or start to dislike. Why did that happen? Do you Think it was an orchestrated thing. Why do you think people started?

[Eric Adams]

That's a great question. That's a great question. Think about it for a moment. Where do people get their opinions from? They pick up the papers and they start reading the papers and they start saying, okay, this is what's happening in the city. When I go to town halls, when I'm at 40 projects, when I go out to Astoria and I start sharing what we have done, people say what I didn't know that there was when I won mayor. Here's the inner story that a lot of people don't know when I won mayor. You can't win citywide in this city without winning what's called the New York Times Belt. Upper west side, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights. I lost all of that. The everyday person in the street say, this guy is one of us. And from day one, go look at how I was covered. People don't know I built more housing in the city than any mayor in the history of the city in my individual years. They don't know that low income New Yorkers no longer pay income tax because of me. $19 billion in black and minority owned businesses that I put in. They don't know what I'm doing for foster care children, paying their college tuition, giving them life coaches until they 21. They don't know what we're doing about homelessness, putting people into permanent housing. Nobody knows my story.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask a question. If they don't know, then, if they don't know, then is it really getting done? Because if the people should be the ones that's impacted by what you're doing, so why wouldn't they know, right?

[Eric Adams]

There's a couple of things. People who go through it, knows it all the time. They write to me, they stop me in the street, they tell me about the housing they got, my universal after school program, what we're doing about dyslexia. Folks on Rikers, I've been on Rikers island more than any man in the history of the city, speaking with the inmates, giving them the services they need. So those who are recipient of it, they know. But when you pick up the paper, the average day person that's sitting down reading, all they know is that, hey, this guy is out all the time partying. No, I revitalized my. Our nightlife industry. A by yourself. Multi billion dollar. Multi billion dollar industry. Multi billion dollar industry. Before I became mayor, they were closing down these industries where black and brown people were opening their own businesses. They were closing them down. That Stopped under me. I said, we no longer going to go in and close down the heart and soul of how these businesses start and how they employ 100,000 people who are getting jobs through it. So what you do now during campaign, you take your campaign money and you able to go over the media and speak directly to people. I don't have the money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Over the past weekend, you didn't attend any public events while a lot of the rivals were out campaigning. And. And people use that to fuel more speculation that you're preparing to drop out. So how do you respond to that?

[Eric Adams]

Same thing about this Charlemagne. No matter what I said, they did it anyway. We were sitting down behind the scenes, sitting down with funders, sitting down with the campaign team, figuring out our strategies to go. I could be out. I'm outside all the time, brother. You know, I could be outside running around the city all the time. But anyone that knows how to build their institutions know there's a time for you to meet with your team and strategize what the next steps are. Just running around around the city is not how you win a campaign. And they don't have day jobs. I do. I still got a day job. I had the UN Coming, a major security issue that we had to make sure was correct. I had the High holiday. I had the Rosh Hashanah come in, making sure we deal with threats. So I still have to run the city. It's not just about running around shaking hands. I had a job to do, and I got to build my strong campaign, and that's what we're doing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I give you credit for that because, you know, they were giving you flack for not being at the African American Day Parade. But I've seen you at events like. Like the Heaven up in Harlem event that Og Daniel did.

[Eric Adams]

Right, right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That wasn't like a scheduled thing. You were just there. Right, right.

[Eric Adams]

And I don't listen. There's never been a man in the history of the city that's been among the people like I have. You know, I'll drive through Brownsville, and all of a sudden, I see a closed barbershop or closed hair salon. People sitting in the back smoking a cigar. I'm popping in there, talking to them. How you feeling on the ground, folks? What's happening on the ground? You know, I can walk through any community in this city, and you see from the Upper west side to Harlem to Brooklyn, people see that, you know, Eric is among us. And I've never stopped being among. There's nothing special about me. You know, you know, I never come across that. Listen, I'm the man. I'm special. No, I'm the same dyslexic, South Jamaica, Queens, hole in your sneakers, cardboards in the bottom. I'm the same person, brother. Same person. And they never had a mayor like me. And they never want to see that mayor do it again. What we did for black and brown people in this city is amazing. Think about this for a moment. A lot of people don't realize this. So who are the victims of shootings in the city? Black and Brown. 23,000 illegal guns off the street. The lowest numbers of shootings and homicides in the first seven months of this year in the history of the city. Who is street homeless? Black and Brown. We removed 3,500 people off our streets into permanent housing. Permanent housing. Who's in our department of education? Black and brown. Other ethnic groups are in, but predominantly black and brown. And we have improved education in our city. Outpaced the state in reading and math, universal after school programs. 150,000 children into pre K. Who was summer youth employment. Black and brown. 100,000 summer youth employment. That we've done, never been done before. So what I'm saying is, when you pick apart my success and my policies, you have to say to yourself, this guy has gone after those who ignore for years.

[DJ Envy]

I agree with you. But you know, the thing that we talk about all the time is we hear all these numbers and stats, right?

[Eric Adams]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

And we talk about, we hear about crime coming down, but a lot of times it doesn't feel like that.

[Eric Adams]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

And maybe that's what we hear in the stories. Like, you know, I'm driving in today, police officer punched in the face and knocked onto the train tracks and pulled out. You know, shooting here, shooting there, shooting it there. It doesn't feel as safe as the numbers would say it was. Why do you say that?

[Eric Adams]

And that's a great question, brother. Think about this for a moment. 5.6 million people ride our subway every day. 5.6 million. We have five average of five felonies a day on our system with 5.6 million, I mean, those numbers are astronomical. And so when you, a city of 8.5 million people, when you take the worst thing that happens in that city that day and you plastered on the front pages, how are you going to feel? People? When I inherited the subway system, when I became mayor, no one wanted to be on the subway system. We put police officers on there. We went down to make sure we got people with severe Mental health issues off our system. We removed the encampments. People were living on the side of highways. They were living in boxes and tents on our streets. And. And so, no, people don't feel that way because it takes a lot of time before your perception view the reality. Sometimes people are living in the past of what they felt before.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So when you put more police presence on the subways, it bought the crime.

[Eric Adams]

It was a combination of things we did. When we did an analysis, we saw that a lot of people say, well, we want the police walking through our trains. That's not where the crimes were happening. The crimes were happening on the platforms. And so when we did a combination, number one, put our visible presence on the platform. And number two, going after those with severe mental health issues and getting them the care that they need. A thousand people we took off the streets. And so you're right, brother, when you say, okay, you're giving us the numbers. But when you run a city, you have to run it based on indicators. You have to run it based on something to determine if you're moving in the right direction. Because when bond rate is determined, are we going to tell people to invest in your city? We need to see these indicators. The bond raiders raised my bond. They said, this guy has gone through Covid, 237,000 migrants and asylum seekers lawfare, where they hit him with some bogus federal charges. Out of all of that, this guy has still moved the city forward unprecedented levels. So the numbers don't lie. I can say whatever I want. But when you analyze, here's where the city was, here's where the city is. We have more jobs in New York. In the history of the city, I broke the record 11 times. Most small businesses in the history of the city. When I came into an office, black unemployment was four times the rates of white unemployment. We dropped it by 20% in the black and brown community. We turned this city around. Now what people are pissed off at, look who I did it with. First black woman to be a first deputy mayor. First black woman police commissioner, A first Hispanic male to run the Department of Correction. First black to be a chief advisor, first a Dominican in the history of the city, to be a deputy mayor. First Filipino to be a deputy mayor, first Indian to be a deputy mayor. I changed the landscape of the city.

[DJ Envy]

Do you feel like that's the way, that's the reason why you're being attacked so much? Because you've done so much, you put so many minorities on.

[Eric Adams]

I think it's a combination. Someone told Me one time they say, listen, Eric, you don't have enough gray haired white men around you. You looked at my administration, brother, my administration looked like us. And so what did they do? They said, you know what, let's start just tackling him in his community. This is the same thing happened with David Dinkins. You know, go back and look at the stories at David Dinkins and see how they had the community start saying, well, you know, David Dinkins is always dressing up in a suit. He's not, he's, you know, he's not one of us anymore. And they eroded his base of support. So our folks just stayed home. You know, they just did it just enough to have him, to have our folks stayed home. This is, you know, I'm the second black mayor in over 30 years. We have not had a black mayor in 30 years. And I learned from David, who, Mayor Dinkins, who tutored me and told me, and I said, I'm going to go in with a clear agenda of how do we help those who have been underserved for years. And we did it. The record is clear.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But a lot of your criticism comes from black people, though.

[Eric Adams]

Yeah, but why, Tell me, tell me why, Charlamagne, where they get their opinions from? I keep, I think we're underestimating the power of the media in this city. Where do they get their opinions from?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think it's white media shaping narratives negatively about you?

[Eric Adams]

Well, I, I, no, I don't think, you know, you can't say only the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

White media in general.

[Eric Adams]

Right? Okay, look across the country. Look across the country. Look at the black mayors across the country, and look what they're doing and bringing down crime across the country.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I give you credit too. You were the first person that at least put that on my radar. Last time you was here, you said there was an attack on black man.

[Eric Adams]

On black man. So look under the previous administration. A lot of people want to talk about it. Under the previous administration, the migrants and asylum seekers went to Chicago, went to Los Angeles, went to Houston, went to New York. What was the same in all of those cities? They were all black mayors. And check this out. This is the thing that a lot of people don't realize. They say, okay, Eric, the migrants and asylum seeker issue is over. Everything is fine. No, it's not. Cost us $7.2 billion. That is $7.2 billion that I could not put into 500 million into chronically absent children, a billion dollars into senior housing, 500 millions into more programs for our youth. Formerly Incarcerated. That money is going to have a long term impact on our city. We're going to see the byproduct of what that previous administration did to us. We're going to see the byproduct of that for years to come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But a lot of that is Democratic messaging fault because, you know, you created sanctuary cities and you said that those people were welcome here. So what a lot of those Republican governors did was put those people on planes and buses and send them to those so called sanctuary cities. And then when y' all got overwhelmed, y' all was like, whoa.

[Eric Adams]

They said, well, let me give you my version of it. You know, let's understand what sanctuary city is. Because a lot of people conflate sanctuary cities. What we say at sanctuary cities, when somebody buy this bottle of water, they pay taxes on this bottle of water. Those taxes allow you services. So if your child needs to be educated, they should be allowed to go to school. If you're a victim of a crime, you should be allowed to call the police. If you need medical care, you should be allowed to go to the hospital because you're paying taxes. You don't walk into a grocery store and someone say you're undocumented. So I'm not going to give you the tax. No, you are allowed to get those taxes. When we tell people if you come here, we're going to treat you with respect. We're going to make sure you get the services that your tax dollars are paying for and we're going to make sure you're treated with dignity and respect. It was the federal government responsibility to seal the border so people can say what they want about the current administration. When they sealed the border, we stopped getting the flow. I was getting 4,000 a week. And the federal law say you can't stop the buses from coming in, Eric. You can't even allow them to work. You can't even allow them to volunteer and give them a stipend. And the city law said you're going to feed, house, clothe and educate the children. So I'm following the law when they came into the city. I don't control who comes into the country, but I have to make sure while you're here, your children are in school. If not, they're going to be the victims of abuse. By staying home. I got to make sure if you need medical care, you could go to the hospital. If not, you're going to overrun my emergency room and people will prey on you knowing that you can't call the police. If you're A victim of a crime. So it wasn't that we said, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was always saying, whoa, control the borders, don't put this on cities. The cities are having to fulfill the obligations of federal government. And in spite of that, we moved the city forward. You know, people will tell you, you know what, the guy did move the city forward. You know, the guy did turn around of the city. The guy did improve employment, improve housing, had the city say we got it, we got it. You know, but you know what, he's too close to Trump. But nobody tells you. I took this administration to court more than any mayor in the country. They sued me, you know, more than any man. And when we needed the administration, we were able to get, call them to get the things done. So it's not like I'm not under anyone's thumb. I'm running my, my city, I'm fighting for my city because I know the impact it has on those communities. What do you say? Yes. What do you say to people that have given up on council altogether? Because I know you, you, you talk about the numbers and everything. You say numbers don't lie. But a lot of people, they not paying attention to the numbers. They paying attention to what they're going through. You know what I'm saying? They see their day to day life. It ain't safe for them. Crime is down and I mean crime is up to them. They not making no money. They, you know, without a doubt. Listen, is it expensive to live in New York? You're darn right. You know, you're darn right. Jordan. My son tells me all the time, he's like dad, you know, but think about it for a moment. What I said in 2023, a year in office, I sat down with the team, I said, listen, I don't have any control on the price of bread, but I could put bread back in the pockets of New Yorkers. We put $30 billion back into the pockets of New Yorkers. What does that look like? Free high speed broadband for NYCHA and other homes. That's $159 a month. We dropped the cost of childcare. If you have two children in schools, we dropped the cost in childcare. We dropped the cost of childcare from 22, 220amonth to less than $20 a month. That's another $200. We're paying off medical debt. If you're a low income New Yorker and you have medical debt, we're paying that off for you. You no longer have to pay for that of universal after school program for free, paying the college tuition of night of of our foster care children. So when you start picking apart our programs, it comes to a total of $30 billion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So why are those actual actions not resonating with people? But Madani's messaging of affordability is because if you actually already are putting more money back in people's pockets, why is it not, you know, resonating? But his messaging of affordability is without a doubt, brother.

[Eric Adams]

Think about for a moment because what he has done successfully, it says, I'm going to identify the pain that people are feeling. Yes, Eric is addressing it, but you're not learning about that. I'm addressing it because it's not being covered. We need to be clear on that. And so what he has done successfully is said, I'm going to identify the pain that people are feeling. I'm just going to tell them anything that they want to hear.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it shouldn't be no pain if you're actually addressing the issue.

[Eric Adams]

But going back to what all of you said, perception is reality. Think about it. Think about this for a moment. He's putting out a proposal saying, I'm going to freeze your rent.

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100 can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Honey German]

Hola, it's honey German and my podcast, Gracias Come Again is back. This season we're going even deeper into the world of music and entertainment with raw and honest conversations with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I didn't audition.

[Eric Adams]

I haven't auditioned in like, over 25 years.

[Honey German]

Oh, wow. That's a real G talk right there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah.

[Honey German]

We've got some of the biggest actors, musicians, content creators and culture shifters sharing their real stories of failure and success. You were destined to be a star. We talk all about what's viral and trending with a little bit of Cheeseman, a lot of laughs, and those amazing Vivras you've come to expect. And of course, we'll explore deeper topics dealing with identity struggles and all the issues affecting our Latin community. You feel like you get a little whitewashed because you have to do the code switching.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I won't say whitewashed because at the end of the day, you know, I'm me. Yeah. But the whole pretending and co, you know, it takes a toll on you.

[Honey German]

Listen to the new season of Gracias. Come Again as part of Michael Tura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Eric Adams]

He can't. You can't freeze Freeze Nycha rent, you can't freeze Michelama rent. You can't freeze market rate rent, you can't freeze affordable housing rent. You could only freeze. And he can't even really freeze it. The board has to freeze it. Of the rent guidelines Board has to freeze it if you're part of one portion of housing in the city. So now everyone is running around the city. That's in Nycha, that's in Michelama, that's in market rate. Say, okay, he's going to freeze our rent. So.

[DJ Envy]

So he's selling dreams.

[Eric Adams]

The guy is a snake's oil salesman, man. The guy. And not only did I think about this also for a moment. You got a daughter? Of course I got two. I got four. Excuse me. Right. How do you feel if your daughter. I don't know if she's an athlete or not. Your daughter is an athlete. She plays volleyball. She goes into the locker room and, you know, after the game, take a shower. His mindset is that a male that thinks he's a woman can walk inside that shower with him and take a shower with him. I don't rock that way. Think about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I'm laughing.

[Eric Adams]

That.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That feels. But that feel like an old play now. Eric Adams like that, man. Adams, I feel like an old play that you just ran. Like that felt like that felt like something out of the Trump playbook from. No, I agree, but I'm just shocked that you went there.

[Eric Adams]

How about decriminalizing prostitution? You know what? Prostitution. I just cleaned up prostitution over the city by connecting sisters and people who are victims of sex crimes. I've given them the services and support they need.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He wants to decriminalize prostitution.

[Eric Adams]

He wants to decriminalize prostitution.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah. Diddy would agree with that.

[Eric Adams]

Yo, shut up, man. You know?

[DJ Envy]

So why is mom Donnie bad for the city?

[Eric Adams]

Why do you think he shouldn't be? A couple of things.

[DJ Envy]

Tell us the reason why. Because right now it seems like he's winning in the polls. And like Charlamagne said, people are really standing behind him.

[Eric Adams]

People? Come on, people. I heard it, man. When you think about all the movements across the globe in history and how people, when they're in pain, how they resonate those who give them these false humps. I'm promising. This is not new. This is not new.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I understand what you're saying, but why are they in pain? If you are telling us you've done all of this stuff to relieve their pain, Is it perception or reality? I'm confused.

[Eric Adams]

No, a lot of it is perception number one. A lot of it is frustration. Remember, brother, I was married for three years and eight months. Three years and eight months. A lot of this stuff is systemic. You know, not doing dyslexia screening to address our brothers and sisters who was going to Rikers. 30% of them are dyslexic. I'm doing dyslexic screening now, not dealing with mental health. You know, people are walking past, people living on the streets. We're taking them off the street. So a lot of this is systemic. You know, you gotta. You have a man when three years in eight months. They had to go through Covid. Go through a whole city dropped in our city. And in spite of that, we've addressed the issues of people that were needed. And so is it going to happen in one term? Three years and eight months. You know, really, we talking three years? We turned around. Is it going to happen in one term? No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you've made progress.

[Eric Adams]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You haven't relieved everybody's.

[Eric Adams]

No, no, we have not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Eric Adams]

No, we have not.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

What about reports, though, that, like, directly, like, go against what you're saying? Right, Because I saw an article in the New York Times and they talk about the 60% increase in police.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There was a surge in misconduct.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

Yeah, Surge in misconduct reports.

[Eric Adams]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Against NYPD officers under your term.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

Yes.

[Eric Adams]

And.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

But you talk or you speak positively of putting more police in certain places and what that has done for people. But they're saying that there are these numbers in the reports that people can go and read themselves that counter that, like how. That's not perception. That's people actually dealing with something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what are you.

[Eric Adams]

First of all, remember how I cut my teeth? You know, remember how I got into this game in the first place? I started 100 Blacks in Law enforcement who care. I was arrested. I was beat by police officers. As a child. Reverend Herbert Daughtry told me to go into the police department to fight against reform. Police abuse and misconduct is not new, you know, in the department. While I was in the department, I was fighting against police abuse. And many people believe when they shot out my car windows because of my advocacy as a police officer. So this is what I've always fought for, to make sure that we could have safety and justice at the same time. And when those police misconduct cases come up, we want to go in and make sure we take out those police officers who are abusive and abusing their authority. It's not new. This has been a long fight to do so. And while we're taking out those officers who are abusive. We're not forgetting Maura and Rivera, you know, two young officers assassinated while they're doing the job. We're not forgetting Detective Dillard, who was shot on the streets. We're not. Thanks so much. I was gonna ask for the same thing. We're not forgetting, you know, those who out there taking 23,000 illegal guns off our streets. So there's a balance. Those who are abusive, as I've always done in policing, we need to target them, and we need to get them out of the department if they are suitable to do so. But we trust me, every town hall I go to, every older adult center I go to, every community group I go to, first thing they said, eric, we're our police. We want our police on our subways. We want them on our corners. We want our police. I have never been to one town hall meeting where people say, we want our police out of the community.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, question. When it comes to the rise in misconduct complaints against NYPD officers, what do you think led to that increase? Is it more public scrutiny? Is it changes in reporting? Is it changes in behavior of the officers?

[Eric Adams]

What is it a combination? Combination people is easier to make a report. Now you have some younger officers on that have to really get acclimated to what it is, policing. So it's a combination. If you were to look at all of those rivers that are feeding the sea of misconduct, you need to dam each river and also keeping an account. And I don't know if that report showed that the number of interactions that police are having, the number of interactions with the public, how you interact with the public, how many times you're being called for service. And so each one of those cases must be investigated, and it must be carried out to do a proper investigation. If somebody did something wrong, they must be. They must be held accountable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what immediate reforms would you push to. To address that? The rise.

[Eric Adams]

Expediting the investigation before it was taking too long. We're taking years. Somebody make us make a complaint. It was taken far too long. We believe you to expedite so you could identify what officer should no longer be suitable to. To be a police officer or if somebody needs retraining, all if the person should get an infraction for the action that took place. This is what I Advocated for as 100 Blacks in Law enforcement who care as a police officer going all the way through the process. I didn't read about Diallo. I know the Diallo family. I didn't read about Abner Louima. Abner Louima came out and endorsed me when I ran for office. These people know I've been side by side with police reform nationally. I'm known nationally for what I have done around police reform. So I'm not going to become the mayor and all of a sudden betray what I have committed my life to doing dealing with police reform and misconduct. Now I also have been always strong on public, on public safety, but I can't tell you how many times I'm in these hospitals, man, talking to these, to these mothers. I spoke to the mother of a young 16 year old girl the other day who was shot in the head just playing in a park, you know, you know that young girl, 14 year old shot, that young 16 year old girl they were sending to school. I'm in these hospitals rooms. I don't just say, okay, it's a shooting, let me get lost, no, I'm going visiting these family. Man, this stuff is traumatizing. When you see the over proliferation of violence in our, in our streets. And so just as we are fighting hard to stop a police abuse, we got to step up and talk these young people down, man. These, they get. The shooters are getting younger and younger.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think anybody thinks that you're not outside and that you don't do those type of things. I mean, and that's one thing I say that people know that Mayor Eric Adams does, but there's things that always pop up in the press that make you look a certain way, even if it's not right. So that's why I love that you're here. So one of the biggest thing was when Donald Trump, they dismissed your federal corruption charges. Right. And they did it without prejudice because they said they leave it open that they can file charges later on. Right. And the press put it as well, that makes him, excuse my French, Donald Trump's puppet. Exactly where, you know, he can be used any which way. So what do you say to those people in that media, people that really believe that you're lining up with Trump and that might not be what people are lying to, especially in this election.

[Eric Adams]

So think about this for a moment. It was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't come back. It was dismissed with prejudice.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, they said without prejudice.

[Eric Adams]

No, that's what they wanted. But the judge said it's dismissed with prejudice. Okay. So many people never read my indictment and I keep saying that over and over, people need to read the indictment. I was indicted for calling the fire department and asking them to do a building inspection and all the text messages are there. I said, if you can't do it, let me know and I'll manage. Their expectation, this is done every day. They took that and said, well, you know what, you got free upgrades. You paid for your flights, but you got upgrades when you flew flying. As the borough president, I was allowed to get upgrades. They said, you got free upgrades, which was not a gift. They said, we're going to tie that and say it was, it was bribery. It was bribery. And so I'm facing 33 years in prison for this, you know. And so people say, well, if you didn't do anything wrong, why would they come at you? Ask Brian Benjamin. I think all your callers should Google Brian Benjamin. Highest ranking black. Highest ranking black in the state. They indicted him also. The judge dismissed his charges. Also. When he looked at. They saw how bogus it was. Biden said the Justice Department was politicized when he pardoned his son. You know, Trump said it. So the, the president on the campaign trail, I never knew the president. I never met the president. He was on the campaign trail saying, look what they're doing to that mayor in New York. You know, that's wrong, what they doing to that mayor in New York. So when he got in, he told his Justice Department, y' all need to look at that case. When they looked at the case and they saw some of the emails and text messages that the prosecutors were doing, they said, we're going to dismiss this case. That's part of the justice system. Doj, they do it all the time. This is not new. This was not special for Eric. They do it all the time. They look at cases and they make a determination, do we want to proceed forward? That was the determination they made. And my attorney sat down and said, look at this case, folks, and what they're doing to this mayor. They got pissed off because I was not a good Democrat and I started voicing this is wrong with y' all doing for us to our city, that this is costing us too much money. This is hurting our folks. They basically said, you need to be a good Democrat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, they put you in your place.

[Eric Adams]

There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So listen, you're polling in fourth place right now.

[Eric Adams]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What makes you think you can still win?

[Eric Adams]

As, as I, as I stated, where was Madani? Where was Zoran? This distance out from the race?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He pulled it at 1%.

[Eric Adams]

Andrew was beating him by 20 something percent.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, in the primary?

[Eric Adams]

Yeah, in the primary. At, during the, during the primary. The day before the primary, there was a poll out Andrew was up by 12% the day before the primary. He lost by 14%. And so what I must do in these campaigns, because I've done it before, remember, the only one that's, only one that's running for mayor that has ever won mayor is me. You know, I beat an impressive field the last time. Andrew Yang was beating me by 14 points. You know, what I must do is I need my money. I have to be able to have folks come home, open up their mail and see my story. I have to be able to have my field team on the street that I have to pay for and my volunteers so they can talk about my story. I need to be able to do my radio ads or all the things that go with telling your story. Right now I'm dependent on my print media to tell my story, which they made clear they're not going to tell.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Me in the social media, which is terrible, by the way.

[Eric Adams]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know who the hell doing your social media.

[Eric Adams]

I'm sorry, it don't look realistic.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

A video that was going viral of you like getting ready to go out to like an event or something like that.

[Eric Adams]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

And I mean, I think it gets younger people wondering who you are and why you're doing it, but it just doesn't add well to the conversation. Yeah, it just doesn't add well to the conversation. I've always wondered what, what's the strategy behind that? Like, why do you do that?

[Eric Adams]

Yeah. You know, and this is, this is very interesting that, you know, you have, I'm not a social media expert. I don't know, I'm the first to tell y' all nothing about social media, but a lot of people are talking about the role of young people in the election. The only consistent voter in this city are 55 plus older people. They're consistent. Everybody thought that Obama, everybody thought that young people were the ones who got Obama elected. You're seeing a more and more engagement of young people. But Obama was, you know, Obama got 65% of the young people vote, but it was only 8%, 18% of the total vote. You know, your grandmother and your mom, those are the ones that come out all the time. So it's. And they're not on X, you know, you know, they, they are on probably Facebook and they still get that old fashioned television ad mailing, etc, and that's what we want to focus on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So with that said, why you be doing those ridiculous videos on social media?

[Eric Adams]

Listen, like I said, I don't know social media, brother. You know, you know, we have. We have a team of folks that we put on. They create what the social media is. I don't know it, you know, I know what I know, and I know what I don't know. You know, and I would love to, you know, you. You want to come on board, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Think you should just scream because you'd be outside. But listen, the narrative. I know we got to get out of the narrative. The narrative is if you stay in the race, then you and Cuomo will be taking votes away from each other, and that'll make it easier for Mondani to win.

[Eric Adams]

Okay? And so. And let's look at the facts of that. The ballot is the ballot right now. You can't change the ballot, you know, so no matter what happens, you can't change the ballot. There's going to be five people or even one of the candidates. Jim Walden tried to get off. The court said, no, you can't. So the ballot is. Ballot is a ballot. What people need to focus on and ask themselves is what direction do they want this city to go? That's what we have to ask ourselves. We've come so far. Do we want to go back? Do we want to go back to the running off, running out millionaires and saying that you don't want billionaires in the city who pay 50% of our taxes? That's how we have teachers and firefighters in our streets paid. Do they want people who want to destabilize our local supermarkets by saying, you have a government run supermarkets? I've been to Venezuela and Cuba. I don't want those type of supermarkets here. And I don't want to hurt my bodegas, my Dominicans, my Koreans, my Chinese supermarkets. Do you want to legalize prostitution in our city and go back to people standing around street corners?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he says yes?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Eric Adams]

Shut up, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Prostitution legalized. What's wrong with you, man?

[Eric Adams]

And so it's just a quality of life. You know who hurts the most, brother? Our communities. Our communities can't hire private security. Our community can't go into making sure that some homeless person is not defecating on their street corners or sitting in their schoolyard. Our communities will impact, be impacted by these policies that idealism collides with realism. So I'm not in favor of defunding our public safety apparatus. I'm not in favor of. We got 7,400 people on Rikers Island. He says right away he wants to get 3,000 off. You know, I'm not in favor of that. I'm not in favor of putting them back in the communities that they prayed on. Give them the services they need, like what we're doing with our credit program and training people to have their CDL license so they can be gainfully employed. But what we must do is not take our communities back. And that's the question. And if people look at you say what we must not, not take our community backwards. If people do do an analysis and say, listen, hey Eric, we heard you, we saw what you done. But this, we want to rock with this guy. Be careful for what you ask for, you know, and, and, and then look at his supporters. Look at his supporters. You know, these are the same. His heart and soul of his community are those same gentrifiers that moved us out of our communities and are disrespectful in our community. That is the heart and soul. So we're buying into a concept of a person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you mean by that when.

[Eric Adams]

You say look at, look, look at his supporters? Those are, those are the same his supporters that mean spirit pocket. Those like Indians. I'm sorry, what do you mean? No, no, no, no. When you, when you look at Harlem, Best Stuy, other parts of our community, when you saw the change of our demographics, you saw gentrification come into our, into our communities. Those are, that's the heart and soul of his supporters. That's the heart and soul of other people have bought into the message and started growing. But the heart and soul of his supporters are those same people that came in and gentrified our communities in this in the first place. Won't patronize our restaurants, wanted to change.

[Unidentified Interviewer]

White people because they're not black.

[Eric Adams]

No, not, it's not even gentrify specific.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When you say that.

[Eric Adams]

What do you mean? Justification to me is not ethnicity. Ethnicity is a mindset. Classism, when you come in and you cannot incorporate yourself into a city, that's a mindset. You know, you could, you could be of any ethnicity. But if your belief is that, hey, I'm going to come and complain about the noise that's coming from that building on the corner, that's the church folks. And that church has been here for such and such you for years. That's what I'm saying. That mindset of displacing those long term term folks from communities, is that the heart and soul of his base of support?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My last question, because we gotta get out of here. They gonna block the streets down because the UN's in town. What is Mandani doing better than you.

[Eric Adams]

Selling A lie, you know, selling the lie. You know, he was in assemblyman for four years. He missed 50% of his votes. Like, where's his record? The reason you're able to critique me is, is because I have a record of over 40 years. Over 40 years of doing this. You can't critique him, you know, and he's just selling the lies. When he was asked the other day, what is your, your policy on decriminalization, Decriminalized prostitution. I haven't figured out yet. Figured that out yet. He's going to sell a lie until he gets into office, if he were to win. So the, the reason you could sit me on this show and say, okay, here's what you've done. You know, you can't do that with them. You don't know who. We don't know who we have. You know, we have a person that's a good actor, good communicator, and knows how to tell people whatever they want to hear to get elected.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, ladies and gentlemen, Mayor Eric Adams. We appreciate you for joining us. Thank you so much.

Hi, it's Honey German, and I'm back with season two of my podcast, Gracias. Come again. We got you. When it comes to the latest in music and entertainment, with interviews with some of your favorite Latin artists and celebrities. You didn't have to audition.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I didn't audition. I haven't auditioned in, like, over 25 years.

[Honey German]

Oh, wow. That's a real G talk right there.

[Eric Adams]

Oh, yeah.

[Honey German]

We'll talk about all that's viral and trending with a little bit of Cheeseman and a whole lot of laughs. And, of course, course, the great Bibras you've come to expect. Listen to the new season of Gracias. Come again on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
