Exactly. This guy is pandering words without action. He's going after Guiliani yet letting his DA go soft on hard crimes. My neighbor got stabbed during a mugging and his suspect got out after 2 days since he survived. Trash leader.

[@jonmendelson1104]

My dad had dyslexia and people didn't know about it at that time (early 1970s), so when he was in high school they thought he was dumb. When he was graduating, his school counselor told him he was too dumb to be an engineer (which is what he wanted to be) and should be a locksmith. His house had been broken into a few times, so he designed and built a keypad lock for his house, then told the counselor he'd been a locksmith and now he wanted to be an engineer. He went on to college for engineering and had multiple patents in engineering and did very well for himself as an engineer.

[@tonyregusters8133]

Great interview!!!!

[@raymonds.9021]

I'm not from there but I still can't get over the fact that in nyc the mayor has any control over education. I guess it means they can make changes more easily than a school board alone but thats a lot of jobs for one person. Of course they have to have things voted on by city council and they have a separately elected school board but in nyc the mayor has a large amount of power to run stuff by themself

[@GoldenBearKarl]

I hope can implement the programs he's discussing, cause it could be the framework for other cities. He's also right about the food we eat. I went from fibromyalgia, type 2 diabetes, infertility, sleep apnea one year after I stopped eating sugar and carbohydrates. I'm down 60 pounds, diabetes in remission, having a regular cycle every month. Never in my life have I had a cycle every month before I'd get 1 a year, maybe. No longer suffering from aches and pain in my joints. I'm clearer mentally sleep apnea improved but not gone.

Food regulations is a massive issue! I have a friend that had massive amounts of acne when she lived in the US. She lives a reasonably healthy diet. When she moved here her acne cleared up completely. Her comment, "must be the meat".

I live in a densely populated city similar to NY city but rarely see homeless or (evidentally) mentally ill people on the streets. Difference between us and the US is we have universal healthcare and no guns. Republicans can argue all they want for them but they are the root causes of many issues in US

[@DB-sy6xc]

What’s guns got to do with homeless? They don’t have any, they’re expensive.

[@user-st3wd3jb8o]

Real difference is your city is not ruled by Democrats we have here. It is not guns or healthcare that created more homeless but the policy. Homeless problem is much less in Republican run cities with the same healthcare and gun issues.

[@Wood-In-My-Eye]

I think everyone should watch this interview. From elementary schools on up. So much great knowledge and truth. I love the way the Mayor speaks about things that are an issue.

I wish Trevor would get rid of the audience. They’re the worst. Trevor asks how he’s going to stop crime. Adams completely ignores the question and gets a round of applause.

[@blakrumba]

He is so right, being poor doesn't make it okay for us to risk our freedom by committing crimes. I grew up poor and I'm not saying I wasn't tempted to steal, but I was aware "This could cost me a lot more than I want to pay for that thing"; It's a balancing act. It's hard, but it's a balance.

[@williamsdonnel2878]

But did you committ other crimes and get away with it?

[@deliagarcia438]

Wow! Education is KEY! My Mother had an 8th grade education and worked as a janitor, raising 5 children. We grew up in a small town in Illinois with one public school and excellent teachers. My physics, chemistry, biology teacher, Mr. Hunt took me under his wing and helped me dream post graduation. He and his wife took me on college visits on their own time and helped me apply for a scholarship. I worked to save what I could babysitting, house cleaning, corn detasseling, typing . . . anything I could to earn a dime. I graduated as the valedictorian and eventually became a physician. I don't know where I would be today had it not been for education and teachers that cared! It's the obvious answer for all children!

Give me a break guy doesn’t answer any question honestly

[@TheFreedomMedia]

I'm sorry, this was a really softball interview. In 6 months, he’s essentially waged war on unhoused New Yorkers. He's made extreme budget cuts to the Department of Education ($215 million), affordable housing, and parks. All the while he increased the NYPD's budget by $90 million. His Rent Guidelines Board just raised rents on 2.4 million New Yorkers. The biggest jump in stabilized rents since Bloomberg was mayor.

[@mauroinentertainment]

Thank you. I'm sick of people giving this guy a pass. He's literally done nothing to improve NY. But just because he's not in a constant news cycle; nothing is really scrutinized. Also, I'm a little bothered by how many people saw this interview & could possibly think he'd be a great president. It was a softball interview & he really didn't give any straight answers.

[@stanbyme7874]

Rent subsidized Apts in NY are ridiculous. They are passed generationally from family members. That is wrong. People like AOC(I use ONLY because she’s a Public figure-not as an insult) that make the $$ they do shouldn’t be in rent stabilized Apts. There needs to be reviews after a certain amount of time like Welfare. Like welfare, it is not a lifestyle, it is a bridge gap to help people get on their way. Seeing people occupying apartments for 20-30 yrs is ridiculous. Meanwhile, younger generations are struggling.

[@zo62]

You think Viacom is going to let him

[@TheFreedomMedia]

​@@stanbyme7874 You are referring to rent controlled apartments and there are only about 16,000 of them left in NYC. The overwhelming majority of renters impacted by the Mayor's major rent hike are living in rent stabilized apartments. Over 2.4 million people. That's really a punching bag issue that's used to bring attention away from the fact that most rent stabilized apartments are barley affordable and (can cost as much as 2,700 per month) and there needs to be real policy changes to protect vulnerable tenants from bad actors (not talking about mom and pop landlords) or we will see a major increase in homelessness.

Kudos on defining such a complicated point. Making theft easy to avoid for low income ppl who still contribute to society, even though that is not their actual intention(survival), is a complex subject because theft is parallel but not equal to being low income. Making it easy to apply and be accepted to programs that do not affect a credit score or loan application is a vital part of lifting the one we need to lift.

[@emilyquinn5047]

Mr. Adams makes a wonderful point. Come be a part of the community instead of pretending it doesn't exist. When I moved to Point Breeze in Philadelphia, a majority African American and Asian neighborhood; I didn't really understand the culture. But when I discovered it, as well as all the local spots that have existed for decades I fell in love with the neighborhood even more. This guy knows his city inside and out and its a really tough and thankless job but I think he's the man for it.

But instead.... he complains about how much is spent on education?? WHAT? Where is the joke? Worse, where is the sense in this jump? 16:00 this part has me confused.

On the first floor of the building is a "Sacred Circle" Clinic owned by my Tribe (the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Indian Reservation) where tenants can see the Doctor, a few full-time Therapists to receive therapy sessions, alcohol & drug counseling, & Sacred Circle staff to help tenants learn how to survive living in an apartment building, with building activities, & different support groups for tenants.

Did Eric Adams answer any questions? I'm still trying to process his answers.

[@pipersecretp3]

But I did learn he has dyslexia. Was that one of the questions?

[@NxInfinite]

@@pipersecretp3 uuh, not sure... I mean, he answered with living in Brooklyn, not Jersey... was that toward the same question?

[@stephenbrodie5617]

He was all over the place and outright didnt even answer so many of Trevor's questions I was hoping it wasnt just me who noticed

[@NxInfinite]

@@stephenbrodie5617 Eric Adams definitely pulled from the playbook, for sure.

[@sageflower2680]

I love how he still refers to his Mother as "Mommy." It is the sweetest!

[@jlindo9326]

Very impressed by both

[@xAngelThatHasFallenx]

Rent has literally doubled in the last few months and the subway is full of cops who sit on their phones while the crime they’re supposed to prevent still happens. Not a great start.

[@julierusso9616]

I didn't know the Mayor is in control of the Rent Guidelines Board?

[@xAngelThatHasFallenx]

@@julierusso9616 the mayor literally appoints members of the RGB

[@xAngelThatHasFallenx]

@@julierusso9616 no problem! There’s actually a lot the mayor can do to prevent a rent crisis, I’d highly recommend reading some local NYC news about it.

[@tonytooshort]

Wow. What a fcking interview. From my new favorite journalist and interviewer, the renowned Mr.Noah. love you Trevor keep doing your thing brother ✊🏽

[@saiyan26]

It's funny that he seems a lot more passionate about arresting turnstile jumpers than bringing down rent prices.

[@raymonds.9021]

Definitely not because of his cop background

[@MajorHenryL.]

He meant incompetent right?😅

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

Too many metaphors to cover real answers.

[@bxjibaro73]

Mayor Eric Adams is definitely a "BROOKLYN DODGER" on some of those questions. 😆 🤣 😂

[@freefalln]

I sincerely hope Eric can do the things he is trying to do. He needs much more time than elections allow to achieve his goals. Hope he keeps getting re-elected until those goals come to fruition. All those people need his vision and caring! Please NY, wake up and see the change!!!

[@user-st3wd3jb8o]

I already see the change in NYC where crime is out of control under Adams. I had high hopes because of his speeches of being tough on crime. It is totally much worse than De Blasio which I thought was not possible. He talks well and that's about it.

[@freefalln]

@@user-st3wd3jb8o So sorry to hear that. Lived 45 years there, and was hoping for more from him.

[@user-st3wd3jb8o]

@@freefalln I thought he was going to be like Giuliani's 1st term and bring back more peaceful city. But it seems like he is becoming Lori Lightfoot blaming others while crime keeps going up and now basically blaming racism for his early failure. He def fooled me.

[@tayb838]

Totally agree. I hope he does too

[@J.Soffer]

Jesus that was hopeful! I haven't felt that in a hot minute.

[@jw7268]

Actions speak louder than words and sadly I think this man is paralyzed.

Amen to you Mayor Adams...from South Africa

[@laurawells3935]

When we raise up the least of us, we elevate all of us.

[@NxInfinite]

Also... 18:50 "disrespect" is a feeling, Eric Adams... How does criminalizing people in this way help the city and businesses?

[@evangdeborahmiddlebrook5770]

The NYC Mayor Eric Adams, is absolutely correct, when you don’t start where the problem is existing to begin to start the change that’s why there’s so much failure and it continues. Sometimes the doctors over medicate the people, because they don’t know how to check out if the prescription is the correct medication to take, not just give them anything because the insurance will pay a percentage of the cost. Being a welling worker and stepping out and trying to make a Real difference, and watch the changes happen. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@lolwillow188]

The punishment for false crime reporting is 3 months in jail or a 500$ fine. If Eric Adams cant get him to do at least 1 month in jail than its the same as letting him get away with it. All things considered 500$ fine isnt going to impact him, if he even pays it.

[@cantnv1]

This guy is so full of himself, I cannot listen to him refer to himself in 3rd person

[@PLFMM]

i'm not convinced....Trevor polite but didn't let him off the hook.

[@ivetmiller4842]

Awesome interview 👏🏿

[@tylerhackner9731]

I misread that as incompetent. But did I really?

[@glorious_conqueror2021]

Excellent Show Trevor ! 🎯✅☮️

[@obalogun8279]

Great conversation with both smart people

[@sharpasrain]

I like the way Trevor circled back around to the question about giving money to police regardless of the outcome and the Mayor sidestepped it twice or more times.

[@FEARisCOLD]

That fare jumping was a great question. Trevor has become a real New Yorker.

[@sisilessthan3]

bruh i thought it was mr moseby from suite life of zack and cody in the thumbnail 😅

Boom 💥! I’m reading Mayor Adams now. He’s on point!

[@julliepassos7738]

I really don't like politics or politicians, and I hardly ever comment on these things, but this really touched me. When you spoke about your dyslexia, it hit a piece of my heart. My daughter (18) was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder years ago. Through elementary school, I was by her side to help "translate" school to her.....as well as life since she was my little girl. As she went on to middle school, I slowly backed off and let her "translate" a little on her own. When she needed help, I would still be in view so I could step in and help. Then as she got into high school, I ket go a little more. She had an awesome teacher and support system there that also took the time to understand her diagnosis. So I let her do it on her own and between that and her other medical conditions, she only went to school and home. So "life" and outside circumstances, she hardly had to deal with. She has now been graduated and is at home, not working as she has depression as well as some physical issues. Recently, she found herself in a real life situation that she just does not process. I really didn't realize that consequences of what "real life" can give her for something that was never her fault.....I mean she didn't ask to be born with auditory processing, she never asked to be different. Yet, life will be thrown at her and most often, the people in this real life will never understand what "auditory processing" means and that it touches every single thought, breath, movement, feeling, or reaction, of her day. So as a parent now of an adult dealing with a condition that does NOT go away just because she graduated high school, what do I do? How do I help her, and what kind of parent does that make me? I cannot force everyone in the world to understand her, to accept her and her "invisible disability" ...let alone have people say that I am making excuses for her and coddling her. In my opinion, invisible disabilities are so much more difficult to live with that visible ones. In general, society has learned how to deal with visible disabilities. Usually it's pity, and that's not what disabled people want. So to hear " I am incomplete" really touched my heart. I truly am incomplete as a parent, but it was so nice to hear that I am not alone.

[@worthreviewing]

Too much crime and high rent in NYC. Many folks are moving out. Do something Mayor Adams-QUICK! 😢
