This week, the state sent a strongly worded letter regarding the city’s response to the influx of migrants. But Gov. Kathy Hochul said she remains committed to helping Mayor Eric Adams navigate this issue. Adams, meanwhile, has been pressuring upstate counties to help house asylum seekers. NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza, NY1 political director Bob Hardt and Albany political reporter Kate Lisa weigh in on the challenges the entire state is facing, as the number of arriving migrants continues to rise.

After that, the man formerly known as “America’s mayor,” Rudy Giuliani, finds himself in a mountain of legal trouble, after being indicted alongside former President Donald Trump. The managing editor of the Washington, D.C. bureau for Spectrum News, Joel Siegel, joins the “Off Topic/On Politics” team to try to unravel Rudy’s woes. The conversation also addresses Giuliani’s checkered history as a New Yorker.
