New York City’s mayor on Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo; socialism and corruption; policing and power; rats and redemption.

New York City mayor Eric Adams has had a controversial time in office. So why should New Yorkers trust him for another four years?

In this episode, we talk about Adams’ criticisms of Zohran Mamdani, his call to Andrew Cuomo to step aside, and yes: rats, e-bikes, and trash.

Adams also opens up about the police beating him as a teen, and how that moment shaped his life in law enforcement and politics.
