Our mayor, Eric Adams, down in D.C., testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee, that's James Comer, about being a sanctuary city. And Adams, you'll remember, was real bullish on a sanctuary city. Oh, bring the migrants in.

That's the way the Statue of Liberty and, you know, usual stuff. Now he's not so bullish, not so much, that the city had to spend millions and millions of dollars to house, feed, process, the undocumented who came here, who are coming here still. And then a crime, massive crime wave from foreign nationals in New York City. So Adams goes down there, and you know about the controversies that the Trump administration says that they're not going to prosecute him now on bribery charges. And Adam has been a little kinder to Donald Trump. Some people think there's a deal, all of that.

So you know the controversy. But here is Eric Adams today with Congressman Connolly of Virginia. Go. Mr. Mayor, I want to be really clear. Were you pressured in exchange for the dropping and dismissal of criminal charges in your indictment to cooperate with the Trump administration on all fronts with respect to immigration? Did any such conversation take place? I think I was extremely clear.

I cannot hear you, sir. I think I was extremely clear. No quid pro quo, no agreement. I did nothing wrong but serve the people of New York City. Okay, so I don't know there is a deal or not. You know, a lot of times this is the way it goes. So you want somebody to do something, and that person is president or a senator or a governor or a mayor.

So you're not going to ask him to do that personally. So Trump's not going to call, hey, Eric, I want you to do this. But they send somebody down, they being who's ever wanting a favor or who's ever wanting cooperation. So the Trump administration sent somebody down, most likely a lawyer. And they would meet with maybe one of Adams' lawyers. All right? So there's no face-to-face.

And they say, look, you know, you need to cooperate with us. If we can work something out, then we'll take a look at your other problem. That's how it's done. So that gives deniability to all the major players like Trump or Adams in this case. Well, I don't know, but implied is that Adams will not defy the Trump administration in ICE. And the proof of that is that ICE now has personnel on Rikers Island. So if a person is arrested and sent to Rikers and they don't have credentials to be in the country, you got ICE right there to take them out.

That never happened before because the far-left progressives who control New York City, they want unlimited immigration open borders. They don't want Homeland Security to be supervising anything. And Adams went along with that. But suddenly Adams didn't. conversion I don't okay

you are right to be skeptical I am a journalist I'm always skeptical but this stuff does just happen deals are made all the time by third parties and Adam is really up against it because the perception is he is cooperating

with Donald Trump who the progressive left despises So a lot of his base thinks he sold out. It's like Joe and Mika on MSNBC. Once they went to Mar-a-Lago to do a little tete-a-tete with Trump, half the audience disappeared because they hate Trump so much. They go, oh, these are sell-outs, that kind of thing. So I continue to say our analysis yesterday was that Andrew Cuomo will be the next mayor of New York.

I believe that will happen because Adams doesn't have much of constituency. see. Now, one caveat to this, I kind of like Adams. When I've spoken to him, he's been respectful, but I don't see the problems that he solved. He can point to crime statistics going down. Okay, that's true. But the fear level is very high in New York. Very high.
