SNEAKO - SNEAKO's Full Interview With The Mayor Of NYC Eric Adams

00:00:00 What do you call this place? The Mayor's Mansion?

00:00:02 This is Gracie Mansion.

00:00:05 Every mayor lived here but Bloomberg.

00:00:10 This was downsizing his luxury.

00:00:13 Why did he not live here?

00:00:15 He had a beautiful townhouse.

00:00:18 And he wasn't trying to switch.

00:00:22 So you live here?

00:00:23 Yes, this is...

00:00:25 And you must want the best cigars.

00:00:27 These cigars are amazing.

00:00:30 This is my sister.

00:00:33 I'm sick of smoking bad cigars.

00:00:36 He wanted to get it right.

00:00:39 So he said instead of smoking someone else's cigars,

00:00:43 he has his own cigar that he does.

00:00:47 And...

00:00:48 What is it? Nicaragua, right?

00:00:50 Nicaragua and Cuban Cheats.

00:00:51 Yeah, yeah.

00:00:52 If you were to move those bottles...

00:00:54 No, I am. That's why...

00:00:55 Yeah, but we're doing this...

00:00:56 They're doing their rolling now, right?

00:00:58 Yeah.

00:00:59 Look, this is what comes in.

00:01:00 A pack of four.

00:01:01 Perfect.

00:01:02 600 out of four.

00:01:03 Wow.

00:01:04 These are eight, seven years.

00:01:06 World's finest.

00:01:07 Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

00:01:08 My pleasure.

00:01:09 I got you.

00:01:10 You a cigar guy?

00:01:11 Yeah.

00:01:12 You are?

00:01:13 I didn't know he lived in New York, man.

00:01:14 Yeah.

00:01:15 This guy?

00:01:16 Mm-hmm.

00:01:17 You're singing your praises.

00:01:18 I appreciate that.

00:01:19 No, I do.

00:01:20 I don't like a lot of people.

00:01:21 I see it.

00:01:22 Amber was singing your praises as well.

00:01:23 Yeah.

00:01:24 The best.

00:01:25 The Pierce Morgan ship was the best.

00:01:26 Do you mind if we take a group photo?

00:01:27 No, without a doubt.

00:01:28 Jordan, you want to grab in?

00:01:29 Yeah.

00:01:30 Yeah.

00:01:31 That's awesome.

00:01:32 Yeah.

00:01:33 I can see it.

00:01:34 Yeah.

00:01:35 I know.

00:01:36 I can see it all.

00:01:37 Yeah.

00:01:38 I can see it all.

00:01:39 I can see it.

00:01:40 I can see it all.

00:01:42 Yeah.

00:01:43 I can see it all.

00:01:44 Yeah.

00:01:45 I can see it all.

00:01:47 Okay.

00:01:48 What's up, Chad?

00:01:52 All right.

00:01:58 One, two, three.

00:02:00 Is he in it?

00:02:01 I don't know if I was, but this is my...

00:02:03 I'll do a few plans.

00:02:05 Eagles.

00:02:05 These are yours, right?

00:02:07 Pleasure to be in.

00:02:08 Yeah, no, no, no.

00:02:09 Feel that.

00:02:10 One, two, three.

00:02:14 One, two, three.

00:02:17 Wish I had my suit on.

00:02:18 Usually I'm...

00:02:18 No, you got to float like that.

00:02:21 You got that, Justin?

00:02:22 Yeah.

00:02:22 You rolling also?

00:02:24 The photo?

00:02:24 Yes.

00:02:25 Both.

00:02:26 Are you an Eagles fan?

00:02:27 Yes, I'm filming in this.

00:02:28 All right, cool.

00:02:29 Okay.

00:02:31 Yeah, cool.

00:02:32 Keep the chat open so you can see if there's a problem.

00:02:33 I'm not from Southland.

00:02:35 Yeah, that's why I was asking.

00:02:37 I was making sure.

00:02:38 You sure you don't want anything?

00:02:39 You good?

00:02:40 I'm good for now.

00:02:41 Okay.

00:02:44 You have the lighter on, sir?

00:02:46 I don't have a...

00:02:48 You got a lighter on you?

00:02:49 That's on swag.

00:02:52 I have a cutter.

00:02:53 I just need a lighter.

00:02:54 You got extra cigar?

00:02:55 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:56 You got extra cigar?

00:02:58 I have a regular lighter.

00:02:58 Yeah, there's some upstairs.

00:03:00 There's a whole bunch.

00:03:01 And in the car.

00:03:01 Tell Marv to grab me in the car.

00:03:02 I just put my mouth in it.

00:03:03 Otherwise, I would...

00:03:04 No, no, no, no.

00:03:05 We got...

00:03:05 I got to tell him he has his box.

00:03:06 I have my box in the car.

00:03:08 Marv, you want to get some cigars?

00:03:09 I don't know.

00:03:09 Get this one out of the car?

00:03:12 You want the ones in the car?

00:03:13 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:14 We have a couple.

00:03:14 I have a couple in the car.

00:03:20 Amber, I'll send you the pictures, too.

00:03:21 Okay, yeah.

00:03:28 So can I ask, how much do these cigars cost?

00:03:31 It cost me $18 each.

00:03:33 I bought the whole factory.

00:03:34 I went to Cuba to find, to buy an old Gullwing, the Mercedes Gullwing, so you know, the 56.

00:03:40 Let the doors go up.

00:03:41 I collect those.

00:03:42 So I bought one that's like, you need a full restoration.

00:03:44 I went to Cuba in quest to find the best cigars. 0.98

00:03:48 And it was all garbage. 0.97

00:03:50 Because it's like, the soil's depleted and everything. 0.92

00:03:52 So I found out where the factory is.

00:03:56 I ended up buying half a volcano in Dicaragua, the best.

00:03:59 And it cost us like $18.

00:04:05 We sell it for $200 a minute.

00:04:12 Yeah, Phoebe. 0.99

00:04:13 Do you mind if I have one?

00:04:15 They're going to get it in my car.

00:04:16 They're going to get it in my car.

00:04:17 I only have three.

00:04:19 Do I have anything in the car?

00:04:20 That's three.

00:04:23 Where do we have them?

00:04:27 Mm-hmm.

00:04:29 How long are you guys here for?

00:04:31 Don't worry.

00:04:32 How long are you guys here for?

00:04:33 Are you living here?

00:04:34 No, I live in L.A.

00:04:35 I'll get her to come over here. 0.99

00:04:36 How long are you here for?

00:04:37 Yeah, I was told there's another one tomorrow.

00:04:42 Get a coffee or something tomorrow.

00:04:44 I'm going to give you a box.

00:04:45 That would be the best thing.

00:04:46 Yeah.

00:04:46 You're going to love it.

00:04:47 I don't want to be premature, but we can.

00:04:49 I mean, we could do something.

00:04:50 Like the tape brokers. 0.51

00:04:51 I've sent Romania so many boxes. 0.60

00:04:52 We could do something just to go with the temporary success.

00:04:56 Oh, really?

00:04:56 Let me finish this and I'm going to, you know, put the fillers out.

00:05:01 Tell us again.

00:05:01 You know his show?

00:05:02 That's what he smokes.

00:05:03 Oh, okay.

00:05:04 So that's his.

00:05:05 Michael Jordan's favorite cigar.

00:05:07 It's like the best.

00:05:08 Smell good.

00:05:08 Yeah, they only made, we only make, produce about 900 every year.

00:05:12 Gotcha.

00:05:13 And it has no fillers, no chemicals.

00:05:15 It's the most organic cigar you will have.

00:05:18 And the best presentation going, you know?

00:05:21 It comes in his own Italian-made humidor.

00:05:23 Mm-hmm.

00:05:24 Four inlays.

00:05:26 And you're not lit.

00:05:28 Well, yeah.

00:05:31 You know, you have another lighter, do you, Ma?

00:05:33 Yeah.

00:05:33 Someone's getting cigars out of the car?

00:05:35 Yeah.

00:05:35 Yeah, I have a, I think I have a box.

00:05:38 This is in the car.

00:05:39 If you have a box, let's grab a box, and I'll drop some off tomorrow.

00:05:43 He doesn't want to go in his private stash.

00:05:46 You don't have this one in the car?

00:05:48 If you don't need to go, use water, hang it down.

00:05:49 You see that one?

00:05:51 But just try to keep us.

00:05:55 That specific box?

00:05:57 It's your only baby?

00:05:58 Yeah.

00:05:59 Yeah.

00:05:59 I don't know.

00:06:01 Is there any one specific you want?

00:06:02 No, no, no.

00:06:03 Whichever one you guys want.

00:06:05 I don't, are you, this wasn't in the car, Sally?

00:06:07 Hey, you want some specific you want?

00:06:09 Oh, let me go see.

00:06:10 Yeah, right on the floor.

00:06:11 I'm going to need to begin to know which one it is.

00:06:13 Yeah.

00:06:14 He's got to pick one for me.

00:06:16 Hold on, but, well, let me see if they got, because I'm almost sure I have some more of this.

00:06:20 It's been a while.

00:06:21 I let it correctly, right?

00:06:22 Yeah.

00:06:23 Yeah.

00:06:24 They're leaving it out because it doesn't use, we don't use any fillers in it.

00:06:27 It's all leaves.

00:06:28 You want to wait for the other one?

00:06:29 Yeah, we can do that.

00:06:31 Yeah, yeah, let me find it.

00:06:32 I'm almost sure I have.

00:06:33 Can I borrow that some?

00:06:34 Absolutely.

00:06:36 And see if they get.

00:06:36 Let me light you up.

00:06:37 Amber, I'm a filmmaker.

00:06:39 Oh, are you?

00:06:39 I actually got my master's and screenwriter and all that.

00:06:42 I started off on The Backyard Again.

00:06:44 Are you familiar with the show?

00:06:45 Backyard Again?

00:06:46 Yeah, I was Tyrone and Moose on The Backyard Again.

00:06:48 Oh, okay.

00:06:49 And that kind of like gave me my bread and I started making like documentaries and like

00:06:52 feature films and stuff and then I went off to school and everything for it.

00:06:56 But now I'm working on a limited series.

00:06:59 There you go.

00:07:00 I'm a secret agent and we're trying to stop Cloud Chase and Zonis. 1.00

00:07:02 And I make music so they send me on missions to go perform at different spots.

00:07:08 And like if people like the music too much, they start turning into zombies and I got

00:07:10 to take them out and stuff.

00:07:11 My pleasure.

00:07:12 Oh, that's cool.

00:07:12 So when you go and check the hip-hop music, that's cool.

00:07:15 That's unbelievable, dude.

00:07:16 You can hash it all the way here in the Asheville floor.

00:07:19 Yeah, I'm great.

00:07:20 Yeah, this is probably going to take an hour or so.

00:07:23 It's not just because it's my company, but it's the world's finest.

00:07:26 Yeah.

00:07:26 Like I've had every single major hotel all over the world is carrying it.

00:07:30 My kids mostly.

00:07:31 Yeah.

00:07:32 It's more of a passion, not for money.

00:07:34 Oh, oh, oh.

00:07:34 Just totally.

00:07:35 Five and 12.

00:07:36 Okay.

00:07:37 Okay.

00:07:38 They're on personality, right?

00:07:39 Oh, yeah.

00:07:39 They both look exactly like me, too.

00:07:42 I got lucky.

00:07:44 So we're live right now where this is the mayor's mansion.

00:07:48 How do you say this correctly?

00:07:49 Gracie Mansion.

00:07:50 Gracie Mansion.

00:07:51 Yes, yes.

00:07:52 The home of Eric Adams.

00:07:53 Thank you again for having us, smoking some cigars.

00:07:55 Absolutely.

00:07:55 Amber Rose for setting this up.

00:07:58 And it's a nice summer night in New York.

00:08:00 You're a busy guy, so I appreciate you taking the time to do this right now.

00:08:03 And, you know, part of being able to stay busy is to do this.

00:08:08 At the end of the night, you know, sometime with my son, we'll sit out on the porch and

00:08:13 smoke a cigar and just, you know, really just bring down that temperature because it's

00:08:19 non-nonstop.

00:08:21 Being a mayor is hard, but being a mayor of New York is a mayor on steroids.

00:08:26 You know what I mean?

00:08:26 You're essentially a governor.

00:08:28 It's that level of responsibility.

00:08:30 The prestige of the New York mayor is unlike any other in the United States.

00:08:34 Well said.

00:08:35 And across the globe, you know, we have the UN here, so you have people from across the

00:08:42 globe that they come and visit here.

00:08:45 And it's an international position.

00:08:47 And, you know, just as the role as the mayor of being able to visit a lot of different countries,

00:08:53 you know, being back and forth to Africa seven times, China six times, South, Central America,

00:08:59 Caribbean.

00:08:59 I mean, that's what makes the city.

00:09:02 And so when I meet people and they know that I have enough respect to go visit their homeland,

00:09:07 then they come here and they embrace their adopted land, you know.

00:09:11 But nothing's better than a good cigar and good conversation.

00:09:16 Absolutely.

00:09:18 Absolutely.

00:09:18 I'm still, I'm waiting for my cigar.

00:09:20 They're getting it from the, from the car right now.

00:09:23 Oh, there it is.

00:09:23 There it is.

00:09:24 Okay, here we go.

00:09:25 Here we go.

00:09:25 Look at that.

00:09:26 Look at that.

00:09:27 There we go.

00:09:31 And I love the presentation.

00:09:33 Sean, this is Sean's cigars.

00:09:35 I like different cigars.

00:09:36 But this is definitely, you know, BCK's, you know, the Billionaires Club.

00:09:42 Why don't you tell us about it, Sean?

00:09:45 So it's eight, seven years, world's finest, comes in a volcanic section of Nicaragua.

00:09:51 We use these in seats.

00:09:54 It's more of a passion, more than a profitable avenue for me.

00:09:59 But I just wanted to have the world's finest, and that's where it is.

00:10:04 Okay, thank you.

00:10:05 We'll cut it, cut it for you.

00:10:07 Okay.

00:10:08 So where did you two meet?

00:10:09 Was it yesterday the first time that you were able to meet Amber?

00:10:12 Yeah, you know, and, and, you know, what's interesting is that, you know, a lot of people,

00:10:18 they judge each other based on longevity instead of character and energy.

00:10:24 I'm a big energy person, and when I sat down, she was with a good friend of mine,

00:10:30 and we, we sat down and just, was just kicking it for a moment.

00:10:33 But you could see that authentic energy.

00:10:37 People would look at Amber, and they'd see her physical appearance, but the anatomy of

00:10:45 her spirit is authentic.

00:10:46 Absolutely.

00:10:46 And I think it's, I think it's part of your life story.

00:10:50 You know, like I said earlier, people, they know our story, our glory, they don't know

00:10:56 our story.

00:10:56 Right.

00:10:57 And you got a powerful story.

00:10:58 Thank you.

00:10:59 Yeah.

00:10:59 I do get judged a lot on the internet for my story.

00:11:03 Right, right.

00:11:03 But it always, for a woman, excuse me, it's always harder, our triumph and like things

00:11:10 that we go through being in survival mode. 0.92

00:11:13 Sometimes we get the shitty end of the stick on the internet.

00:11:17 But I, you told me a little bit about your story growing up.

00:11:20 I don't know if a lot of people know, you know, the stuff that you've been through growing

00:11:24 up in New York.

00:11:25 And, and it's, you know, it's that evolution and it made me who I am.

00:11:30 Yeah, same.

00:11:31 You know, uh, the most, um, powerful parts of that journey is that I'm not supposed to

00:11:37 be here to mayor of the greatest city on the globe, you know, growing up.

00:11:41 I, you know, Amber, I used to walk inside my classroom.

00:11:44 I used to get up every morning and I would say, you know, God, please don't make me read.

00:11:48 Because if I read that day, all the children in the school, they would mimic me reading.

00:11:55 And laugh, I would be in the cafeteria, the gym.

00:11:58 They said, let's, let's act like we're reading, you know, because I was undiagnosed dyslexic.

00:12:03 And, you know, I was stumbled over the drawers.

00:12:05 And I think, I think one or two of the teachers would intentionally have me get up and read.

00:12:11 And so I could be humiliated.

00:12:13 But, uh, they used to have on the back of the chair, I walk in the classroom, they would 0.98

00:12:16 have dumb students on the back of the, back of the chair. 0.96

00:12:18 And I just said, you know, why am I even going to school going through this? 1.00

00:12:21 What was that, the 80s?

00:12:23 No, no, going 70s.

00:12:25 70s.

00:12:25 Yeah, 70s.

00:12:26 And so this was 11, 12, 13, you know, 14.

00:12:32 And then around 15, I said, why am I, I'm not even going back in.

00:12:36 I, you know, started just hustling, running, running numbers, buying the nickel bags, making

00:12:42 eight joints.

00:12:43 So $3 to help my amount.

00:12:44 And then at 15, my brother and I got arrested, you know, and, um, the cops took us to the

00:12:51 103rd precinct where they, they, they kicked us in our groin over and over and over again.

00:12:57 We were, we were urinating blood for a week.

00:12:59 We never told anyone.

00:13:01 We were quiet.

00:13:01 I didn't tell my mother until I became an adult.

00:13:04 You know, I, you know, I sat down and shared it with her.

00:13:07 But it, it pushed me through.

00:13:10 And the most powerful part about it is when mommy came to the precinct, the 103rd precinct,

00:13:14 and to pick us up.

00:13:16 And I heard it.

00:13:16 They were all laughing at her.

00:13:18 You know, you know, she had arthritis.

00:13:21 She came in the precinct, you know, hugging her Bible and carrying in one hand.

00:13:25 And I didn't see her, but I heard her.

00:13:28 And they said, you know what?

00:13:29 They would never be anything.

00:13:30 My brother and I, we both got arrested together.

00:13:32 They said, they would never be anything.

00:13:34 And mommy said, I'm just going to pray.

00:13:36 I'm going to pray.

00:13:37 And so that day I said, you know what?

00:13:40 I sold mommy into slavery and I'm going to buy her back. 0.99

00:13:44 You know, you know, you know how back in the day when, when your family members in slavery,

00:13:48 you were, you were earning back and buy their freedom.

00:13:50 And I said, I'm going to buy mommy freedom.

00:13:52 And I went on a four, I like to say a four payment plan.

00:13:56 The first payment I paid when I became a captain in that same police department.

00:14:01 Second payment came when I became a state senator.

00:14:04 Third payment came when I became the first black law president.

00:14:07 And I was paid in full and I became the mayor, you know?

00:14:11 I know, that's right.

00:14:12 That's part of the story.

00:14:13 Wow.

00:14:15 When did you decide you wanted to go into politics?

00:14:17 It's amazing.

00:14:18 It's an amazing story.

00:14:19 It sure is.

00:14:19 I was a, I was a lieutenant.

00:14:24 I was a lieutenant in the 88th precinct.

00:14:27 And I used to do midnights.

00:14:31 88th precinct is in Clinton, it's Clinton Hill.

00:14:33 So you're from Brooklyn?

00:14:35 Yeah.

00:14:35 I was born, I was born in Brownsville.

00:14:37 Moved to Queens.

00:14:38 Like Mike Tyson.

00:14:39 Yes, yes, yes.

00:14:40 Matter of fact, Mike Tyson Miro used to be up in Brownsville.

00:14:44 You know, I was born in Brownsville.

00:14:46 I grew up in Queens and then returned back to Brooklyn.

00:14:53 And what happened was, one day I was doing midnights in the 88th precinct.

00:14:58 And there was an 11-year-old boy that was arrested either two or three times in one week

00:15:04 for an arm run robbery, a gunpoint robbery.

00:15:08 And when I came into the precinct, I saw him there cursing everybody out.

00:15:14 He was at the front desk when you come in to get processed.

00:15:16 And he's cursing everybody out, calling people in Memphis, calling this, calling this.

00:15:20 And so I said, you know, I told him, I told him, you know, they had to process him.

00:15:24 They put him in the juvenile room, handcuffed him to the bar.

00:15:27 And later that night, I said, what's up, Richie?

00:15:30 How you doing, brother?

00:15:35 And so I told him, when I went to him, and I said, oh, hey, you got another lighter?

00:15:40 Yeah, you got a cigar lighter.

00:15:41 Yeah, please.

00:15:43 I was going to say that.

00:15:43 My boy.

00:15:44 And so I saw him that night.

00:15:49 I went into the juvenile room where he was.

00:15:52 And I was like, I was like, yo, young soldier, you've been arrested several times for armed robbery. 1.00

00:15:58 He spit at me, cursed at me, you know, F you, F you. 0.99

00:16:01 So I went back. 0.99

00:16:02 Later that night, I went to the soda machine, brought him some soda and some snacks.

00:16:06 And I just put it down.

00:16:08 I didn't say anything to him.

00:16:08 I just put it down.

00:16:10 Around 2 a.m. in the morning, I went back.

00:16:12 I said, you need anything else, you know, young blood.

00:16:16 And I said, what's going on?

00:16:20 You know, why are you getting caught up like this?

00:16:22 He broke down and started crying.

00:16:23 His mom was on crack, you know, on the streets. 0.99

00:16:31 His dad was serving a homicide bid upstate.

00:16:36 He was at the school for months and no one checked him.

00:16:39 He was raising himself.

00:16:40 And so I remember that day so clearly because I said, you know what?

00:16:45 By the time he's arrested, he's already downstream.

00:16:50 We're pulling him out of the river. 0.95

00:16:52 We should have taken our asses upstream and prevented him from falling in the river. 0.96

00:16:56 And I said, I can't do this just by being a cop. 0.83

00:17:00 And I've always felt that you've got to do something differently.

00:17:05 And it's almost 40 years ago, I woke up in a cold sweat.

00:17:10 I was sleeping.

00:17:11 I woke up in a cold sweat where God said, you're going to be the mayor January 1st, 2022.

00:17:18 And I would tell everybody I met, people used to think I was on medication.

00:17:23 You know what I'm saying?

00:17:24 Everyone I saw throughout the years, I said, listen, I'm going to be mayor January 1st, 2022.

00:17:29 And everybody that knew me because it was the message I got from that feeling from God was let everybody know.

00:17:38 Because I don't want anybody to think you stumbled on it.

00:17:41 Because people got to believe, and my belief in God is so strong, in the ancestors.

00:17:48 Every night before going to bed, I give thanks to my ancestors and I give thanks to God.

00:17:53 But I stay true to that mission.

00:17:56 In spite of all obstacles, if you could have somebody perfectly imperfect like me go from arrested, rejected, dyslexic,

00:18:03 and now elected to be the mayor of the biggest city, that's only God.

00:18:07 Bars. 0.86

00:18:08 But God.

00:18:08 Bars, for sure. 0.98

00:18:09 Rejected, dyslexic, to elected.

00:18:13 Right.

00:18:14 To elected.

00:18:15 Now, he could have had me.

00:18:17 To elected again.

00:18:18 Right.

00:18:19 Yeah, that part.

00:18:20 I could have been elected to a small town somewhere, but no, he said, I'm going to elect you to the most important city on the globe.

00:18:26 So, if a cat is sitting on Riker's right now, they can say, wait a minute, my man was in jail.

00:18:32 If somebody's sitting in school, they have a learning disability, they say, my man had a learning disability.

00:18:36 If someone is in a homeless shelter, see, my man was homeless.

00:18:39 Right.

00:18:40 So, I think God has used my life to say to people, no matter where you are, it's not who you are.

00:18:45 You know, and that's what really impacted when I met you.

00:18:48 Your story just resonated with me, you know.

00:18:51 It's very similar.

00:18:52 Right.

00:18:53 Yeah, it is.

00:18:54 Right.

00:18:54 It's different, but similar, for sure.

00:18:58 Overcoming adversity.

00:18:59 Right.

00:19:01 Overcoming adversity.

00:19:02 And every day, people are overcoming adversity.

00:19:06 And then when you look at the journey, you know, when I was studying to become a lieutenant, somebody pulled up next to my car, and they called out my name, and I looked to the left just in time, and they had a 9mm.

00:19:17 As a matter of fact, Jordan, you was just born, you was just a baby.

00:19:20 Yeah, I remember that story.

00:19:21 Yep.

00:19:22 They had a 9mm shot at my car, and I hit the gas fast enough that it just shot the back of my window.

00:19:28 And a bunch of older African-American women, when they saw the story in the paper, they came, and they were just praying for me in front of my house, you know, after what happened.

00:19:42 But when you look at that, and that's why what people say right now, you know, when you got indicted, Eric, you were still waking up doing the job, you know.

00:19:51 Because people knew only Eric the mayor.

00:19:55 They didn't know that. 0.99

00:19:56 Man, you know how much shit I went through? 1.00

00:19:57 Right. 1.00

00:19:58 No, for real.

00:19:59 No, for real.

00:20:00 Do you still feel like, because sometimes with me, I still feel like, even though I've been out of it for a long time, that I still sometimes feel like I'm in survival mode.

00:20:09 Like, I wake up in the middle of the night, and I'm like, there's things that I have to do.

00:20:15 Like, I think about the next day, and I think about, because that's been most of my life.

00:20:19 Do you still, do you feel like that sometimes?

00:20:21 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:20:22 You know, I think that you hit it on the head.

00:20:27 But, you know, because we still are in survival mode.

00:20:31 We are still, you know, I'm still fighting every day.

00:20:35 You know, when you look at what I'm trying to do in the city, and, you know, many people didn't want me to be elected to be mayor.

00:20:46 You know, I mean, I'm a bald-headed, earring-wearing mayor.

00:20:50 There's never been a bald-headed, earring-wearing mayor.

00:20:53 That's not.

00:20:54 That's not.

00:20:55 You know, so yes.

00:20:57 And you know.

00:20:57 And you inspire me, because I'm bald-headed, and I wear earrings.

00:20:59 I want to be the mayor one day.

00:21:01 You know?

00:21:02 You're going to be the mayor.

00:21:03 You're going to be the mayor in California.

00:21:05 Exactly.

00:21:05 See, I relate to that, you know?

00:21:09 You're probably the most relatable mayor that I've seen in my lifetime.

00:21:13 The former mayor, Bill de Blasio, correct?

00:21:15 Mm-hmm.

00:21:16 Is he from New York?

00:21:18 No.

00:21:18 He was raised in Boston.

00:21:21 He's from Boston.

00:21:21 Yeah.

00:21:22 That's not his real name, right?

00:21:23 Bill de Blasio is a fake name.

00:21:24 Yeah.

00:21:24 I'm not.

00:21:25 I think it's something with a W.

00:21:27 I think he changes his name.

00:21:28 Yeah, that's not his real name.

00:21:28 It's a real friend?

00:21:29 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:30 He changes his name.

00:21:31 His name is not his real name.

00:21:31 So, yeah, he's trying to pose as, like, this Italian New Yorker, but he's really from

00:21:36 Boston, and, you know, but you're clearly, one thing, people will say a lot of things

00:21:40 about you.

00:21:41 You're very clearly a New Yorker born and bred.

00:21:42 I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm New, I'm New York.

00:21:45 When I walk, when I walk into my press conferences, I'm playing.

00:21:49 I'm Jay-Z.

00:21:52 You know, I'm straight, straight.

00:21:54 Jay-Z, I was going to ask you that.

00:21:55 Who are your top three favorite New York artists?

00:21:57 Well, number one, my son.

00:21:58 That's right, that's right.

00:22:02 And we out now, you know what I'm saying?

00:22:05 We out now.

00:22:06 You know?

00:22:07 But, um, um, I, I was a big Biggie guy.

00:22:11 Uh, uh, Biggie, uh, uh, Jay-Z, um, I like Ja Rule as well.

00:22:18 There's a couple of good artists.

00:22:20 Yes, DMX, you know, God rest his soul.

00:22:23 Nas, Nas, you know, Nas has a message in his music.

00:22:27 And he, he, what I love what Nas did, Nas took the music and turned it into a business.

00:22:32 He's, he's doing very well on restaurants.

00:22:34 He's doing some good stuff.

00:22:36 Um, there, there's a couple of, you know, uh, up and coming, uh, young, uh, musician and

00:22:43 artists.

00:22:44 Um, I forgot my brother's name that we lost his life in, in California.

00:22:48 And he was Pop, Pop Smoke, Pop Smoke, Pop was, was, was so talented, man.

00:22:53 I know.

00:22:54 His mom and dad, we did something together.

00:22:57 Oh, really?

00:22:57 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:58 You know, I got a crazy story about Pop Smoke.

00:23:00 Uh-huh.

00:23:00 Um, he was, he was on his way to my house the next day because he wanted to bleach one

00:23:07 side of his hair.

00:23:08 Look at that.

00:23:09 Wow.

00:23:09 And he, and I saw him out and he was like, how you get your hair so well?

00:23:13 I was like, I bleach it.

00:23:14 I do it myself.

00:23:14 He was like, will you do it?

00:23:16 And I, he was going to come to my house the next day.

00:23:18 I think I was, um, pregnant with my son.

00:23:21 Wow.

00:23:21 And that morning I woke up and I saw it on the news and I couldn't believe it.

00:23:26 Wow.

00:23:26 Yeah.

00:23:27 He was only 20 years old.

00:23:28 Yes.

00:23:29 Wow.

00:23:29 That's deep.

00:23:30 That's deep.

00:23:31 Yeah.

00:23:31 Think about that.

00:23:32 Think about that talent, man.

00:23:33 He's a baby.

00:23:34 I was supposed to go with him to California.

00:23:36 Wow.

00:23:37 I used to write songs for him.

00:23:39 That's, he's a, he, he was a good kid.

00:23:41 He had a great personality.

00:23:42 You wrote songs for Pop Smoke?

00:23:42 Yeah.

00:23:43 His mom and dad.

00:23:43 You write rap songs?

00:23:44 Yeah, I do.

00:23:45 All right.

00:23:46 I got to hear something then, man.

00:23:47 So, yeah.

00:23:48 So he, he, you know, I met him many years ago before.

00:23:51 He was Steven Victor, his manager.

00:23:52 Yep.

00:23:53 Very tight with him.

00:23:54 So we went, we would spend time together.

00:23:57 He didn't know much about watches.

00:23:58 Yeah.

00:23:58 Like, what should I, you know, he's like, you blows and stuff.

00:24:01 I'm like, no, no, no.

00:24:01 Let's do football tech.

00:24:02 Let's do this.

00:24:03 Let's do that.

00:24:03 Yeah.

00:24:04 And the day before we were going to look, he asked me, he says, come on, come to California.

00:24:08 I got to house this.

00:24:09 Wow.

00:24:10 Steven couldn't go.

00:24:11 So he's like, why don't you go with him?

00:24:13 And you remember that, right?

00:24:15 And I remember not be able to go.

00:24:19 Mm.

00:24:19 And I got a call from Steven Victor the following day and said, you know.

00:24:24 So my son's father was business partners with Steven Victor.

00:24:27 That's how I knew Pop Smoke.

00:24:28 Oh, University Music Group?

00:24:29 Yeah, that's why he. 1.00

00:24:30 No shit? 0.99

00:24:31 I'd rather not talk about that. 0.99

00:24:32 Oh, okay.

00:24:33 But that's how I knew Pop Smoke through Steven Victor.

00:24:35 Oh, rest in peace Pop Smoke.

00:24:37 Yeah.

00:24:37 What are your thoughts on drill music?

00:24:39 Because that drill era, I mean, it started in Chicago, but New York really took it to another level.

00:24:44 Right.

00:24:44 Do you think it had an effect on the culture of crime?

00:24:46 Yeah.

00:24:47 And let me, you know, because Jordan and I talk about this often.

00:24:50 You know, it's not the music, it's how the music is being exploited.

00:24:56 And there are clear correlations.

00:24:59 When you talk about urinating on somebody's grave right after they die, when you talk about, you know, some of the music being used to feed the violence.

00:25:09 Because the artistry, I had a group, I had a meeting at City Hall with all of the top drill music, Mayno put it together for me.

00:25:19 And, you know, when they understood what I was saying and I was able to show them the correlation where you had a shooting in one morning and then the next morning you had people desecrated in the grave of the person and his crew got upset.

00:25:34 Then you had another shooting in the afternoon.

00:25:36 And so the industry is using that violence to sell records and is using that violence for notoriety.

00:25:44 And we're using our, we're losing our young soldiers.

00:25:46 So do the music, you know, but if, if, if, if you could only imagine if God forbid someone took out my son and the next thing you know I see you on YouTube talking about how happy you are to take out a son.

00:25:58 You're compelling me to react.

00:26:00 Right.

00:26:00 And that's what the, that's what the industry was doing.

00:26:03 And we, you know, we had a conversation with the industry and say, you know, you guys are making paper, but I'm seeing too many, you know, too many bodies lying, that's lining up because of what you are exploiting on social media.

00:26:15 So it's not about the lyrics.

00:26:17 It's not about the music.

00:26:18 It's about when it's used for retaliatory action, taking out other young people.

00:26:22 Because we're, we're losing a whole generation, man, to, to this violence.

00:26:27 And, you know, young people at that age, they have so much heart, you know, and when that heart turns into taking out another young person, that can't happen.

00:26:38 Well, it's calmed down quite a bit.

00:26:39 Yeah.

00:26:39 The New York drill music was really big post-COVID.

00:26:42 How were you responsible in slowing that down?

00:26:46 Because I, I personally, I feel a lot safer walking around, taking the train than today, than I did 2020, 2021.

00:26:52 Let me, let me tell you what's happening in the city.

00:26:55 I inherited a city where crime was off the hook in the trains, over proliferation of guns on our streets, particularly in communities of color. 0.96

00:27:04 No business wanted to come here.

00:27:05 You know, things were just, just off the chain.

00:27:10 Right now, three years, three years later, they told me it was going to take me five years to turn around the city.

00:27:15 Three years later, we have more jobs in New York in the city's history.

00:27:19 We broke the record 11 times.

00:27:22 We dropped unemployment around black and brown people by 20%.

00:27:26 We took 22,000 illegal guns off our streets.

00:27:30 This last six months, five months, and we're going to do it in the sixth, we had the lowest number of shootings and homicides in the history of the city.

00:27:39 Because that's what I'm saying.

00:27:41 Every other major crime, robbery, burglary, grand loss, everything is decreasing.

00:27:49 And so you feel, the goal is to make people safe statistically, but also feel safe.

00:27:55 You know, we got 4.6 million people that ride out subway every day.

00:27:58 4.6 million, we only have five felonies on our subway every day.

00:28:02 Out of 4.6 million.

00:28:04 But what has happened in the city is you wake up every day and you see the worst thing that happens in the city of 8.5 million people.

00:28:12 And you say to yourself, oh my God, this stuff is out of order.

00:28:15 Oh man, this city has come back.

00:28:17 Our nightlife, Richie, as you know, our nightlife, restaurant open.

00:28:21 People say, well, you know what, you hang out all the time.

00:28:24 No, brother, I got to have a nightlife.

00:28:25 I got to make sure, because if my restaurants are open, my private clubs are open, my clubs are open, then my waiters, my busboys and girls, my cooks.

00:28:34 Everyone's flourishing.

00:28:34 We employ a lot of people.

00:28:35 Right, right.

00:28:36 And I'll be honest.

00:28:37 The hospitality industry employs a lot of people.

00:28:39 You know, a lot.

00:28:40 $30 billion industry.

00:28:42 $30 billion industry.

00:28:43 I live in L.A.

00:28:44 And everything is closed down.

00:28:46 I mean, all the restaurants are closed down.

00:28:49 All the stores are closed down.

00:28:51 It's really, really bad over here.

00:28:52 You know, I come to New York maybe like once a year, and I've been here for a week, and it is cracking out here.

00:29:00 Everybody's outside.

00:29:01 Everyone's open.

00:29:02 Everyone's working, making money.

00:29:04 You know, there's a huge difference from Los Angeles to New York.

00:29:08 We say we outside.

00:29:10 Yeah.

00:29:11 We outside.

00:29:13 We outside.

00:29:14 We outside.

00:29:15 No, we really are outside right now.

00:29:16 We really are.

00:29:17 This is outside.

00:29:18 This is a beautiful place.

00:29:19 The water's here.

00:29:20 We do a lot of entertainment on the 10th, you know, a lot of cultural events, Diwali, African-American, Juneteenth.

00:29:30 I made Juneteenth a paid holiday here in the city.

00:29:34 So this is a place where people never were able to come here the way it is now, you know.

00:29:41 And I wanted people to feel empowered, man.

00:29:43 These are your tax dollars.

00:29:44 And people come here, and they feel empowered.

00:29:48 It's the first time they come in here.

00:29:49 It's about being mayor is substantive and symbolic.

00:29:54 The substantive is bringing down crime, bringing jobs, and all that good stuff.

00:29:57 But the symbolism of touching their lives.

00:30:01 Like last year, I got re-baptized on Rikers Island, our jail, with the inmates.

00:30:06 I was on the road with the...

00:30:08 You got baptized at Rikers?

00:30:09 Yes.

00:30:09 I was on the road with all the inmates, and I got re-baptized with Reverend Sharpton and Reverend Daughtry, you know, who was one of my spiritual leaders.

00:30:18 And those inmates sitting on that road with those brothers, and they say, you know, the mayor's here getting baptized with us.

00:30:24 You know, I've been on Rikers Island more than any man in the history of the city, you know, because remember I said I'm dyslexic.

00:30:30 But 30 to 40 percent of those inmates have a learning disability.

00:30:35 So the real crime is not only what they did on the street.

00:30:38 The real crime is that we didn't give them the resources that they needed.

00:30:42 Because I could have easily kept, you know, selling weed.

00:30:46 I could have easily continued to run numbers.

00:30:49 If I didn't stumble and learn I was dyslexic, I don't know where I would be right now.

00:30:54 And that is what I have to fight to change.

00:30:57 Is part of your objective getting the New Yorkers who left to come back?

00:31:02 I was born here, and then after COVID, when things really, the city was shaky for a while.

00:31:06 I left to Florida for two years, and I recently came back in December.

00:31:10 And things seem to be on the right track, and I love it again.

00:31:13 But how much of your goal as mayor is trying to get people who went to Texas, went to Florida?

00:31:18 How do we get those people back?

00:31:20 Yeah, many of them fled.

00:31:21 And I like to say this is a, you know, a paraphrase Arnold Schwarzenegger moment.

00:31:27 Well, they'll be back.

00:31:30 And our slogan.

00:31:32 Right, right, right.

00:31:33 I love New York again.

00:31:34 Again, you know.

00:31:36 I love New York was a famous slogan.

00:31:38 We now say, I love New York again.

00:31:41 You know, because we're falling, people are falling in love again with New York.

00:31:46 No matter where you go on the globe, we have the best food, the best diversity, you know, a great educational system.

00:31:56 Our streets are getting cleaner and cleaner every day, safety.

00:32:00 And what many people don't want to acknowledge, we have the best shorties.

00:32:03 Oh, come on, man.

00:32:05 Hands down.

00:32:05 That's a controversial state.

00:32:06 That's a controversial state.

00:32:08 Hands down.

00:32:09 Hands down.

00:32:10 Miami closed second.

00:32:12 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:13 Great.

00:32:14 L.A. third.

00:32:14 I don't want to disrespect Dan Burr.

00:32:16 I'm in Philly, so.

00:32:18 Oh, Philly.

00:32:19 You guys won the Super Bowl.

00:32:20 Yeah.

00:32:21 See?

00:32:22 How did you make your way to L.A. from Philly?

00:32:25 Oh, that's a long story.

00:32:27 That is a long story.

00:32:29 But I've been in L.A. for 15 years.

00:32:30 Wow.

00:32:31 Yeah.

00:32:32 I have my kids out there, so that's all they know is L.A.

00:32:35 You know?

00:32:36 Which city?

00:32:38 Sherman Oaks.

00:32:39 Okay.

00:32:40 Yeah.

00:32:40 Okay.

00:32:41 Good city.

00:32:42 Two legs close to all of it.

00:32:43 Yeah.

00:32:44 It's nice.

00:32:44 It's suburban.

00:32:46 Right, right.

00:32:46 You know, it's nice.

00:32:47 It's good for the kids.

00:32:48 Jordan did a stint.

00:32:49 You did a stint.

00:32:49 Yeah, I was working at Universal Pictures.

00:32:52 Okay.

00:32:52 And I was staying on Sarah Street off of, like, North Pass, Alameda.

00:32:55 So I used to ride my bike through Sherman Oaks all the time, man.

00:32:59 It's nice over there.

00:32:59 Oh, my goodness.

00:33:00 It's very calm.

00:33:01 It's very calm.

00:33:02 I actually got a question for both of you.

00:33:04 Look at that cigar.

00:33:04 Hold on.

00:33:04 Look at the ashes on that cigar.

00:33:06 That's good ash.

00:33:06 Look at that.

00:33:07 Is that how it's supposed to be?

00:33:09 Yeah.

00:33:09 It is.

00:33:10 I don't know anything about cigars.

00:33:11 Come on, now. 0.87

00:33:12 Sneeko keeps asking me. 0.97

00:33:14 I'm going to ash you like a cigarette. 0.90

00:33:16 He taps him on. 0.98

00:33:17 You don't even ask you.

00:33:18 Look at that.

00:33:19 That's the perfect thing.

00:33:20 He's a professional right there.

00:33:21 He got the box circles.

00:33:23 This is it.

00:33:26 Pussed down right there.

00:33:27 I ain't mad at that.

00:33:28 Yeah, the cigar was a bit too much for me.

00:33:30 I had to dive mine out.

00:33:32 When did you two realize you were superheroes?

00:33:34 At what age?

00:33:36 Because you're both amazing in your own field.

00:33:38 But when did you realize, you know what?

00:33:41 Can't nobody mess with me.

00:33:42 I am who I am.

00:33:43 I'm Eric Adams.

00:33:44 I'm Amber Rose.

00:33:44 So, I used to tell my friends, and they'll tell you to this day, because I'm still friends

00:33:50 with a lot of people that have been like 30 years.

00:33:52 Love it.

00:33:53 And I was about 10 years old, and my friends would be like, when I'm 16, I'm going to have

00:34:00 a baby.

00:34:00 When I'm 15, I'm going to have a baby.

00:34:02 And I used to be like, I'm going to live in Hollywood, and I'm going to be famous,

00:34:07 and I'm going to get the hell up out of here, and I'm going to have a better life.

00:34:11 And I used to say that all the time, and my friends, my friends, yeah, my friends used

00:34:15 to be like, girl, you're delusional, you, you know, I was homeless with my mom when I 0.55

00:34:19 was 15 years old.

00:34:20 Three, three. 0.98

00:34:21 And, and they used to say, you don't have nowhere to live, you're going from house to

00:34:26 house, you know, trying to get, we used to get, there was a Chinese corner store,

00:34:32 and the chicken wings were 25 cents.

00:34:34 And I used to go get, you know, two chicken wings, maybe a little fried rice.

00:34:38 Right, right, right.

00:34:39 If I had a couple dollars, or I would get a, maybe if I had a dollar, I would get a

00:34:44 scratch off and hope that I would win $20.

00:34:47 And I just, I don't know, I guess kind of like what you said, how you used to pray and

00:34:52 manifest it, and it happened because there was no other option for you.

00:34:57 That's kind of how I felt.

00:34:58 I felt like there was no, I didn't know how it was going to happen.

00:35:02 Right, right, right, right, right.

00:35:03 And it just, it happened in a way that I did not expect, but I just knew that I wanted

00:35:11 a better life.

00:35:12 Isn't that something?

00:35:13 Yeah.

00:35:13 You know, and, you know, living homeless or the verge of homeless, to push through that

00:35:20 is not an easy thing to do.

00:35:23 Well, my mother had mental health issues. 1.00

00:35:26 Her mom committed suicide in front of her when she was 10 years old.

00:35:30 And so, her and her siblings.

00:35:34 So, my uncle was in prison for murder, and then he got out of prison, overdosed and died.

00:35:44 Your mother's brother?

00:35:45 Yeah, he did 38 years, and they let him out, and then he got out.

00:35:50 My other uncle was a heroin addict.

00:35:52 My aunt overdosed and died.

00:35:54 So, my whole family's pretty much dead from overdoses, which is why I've never done a

00:36:01 drug in my life.

00:36:02 I smoked my little cigarette.

00:36:04 I've never smoked weed.

00:36:05 I've never done coke.

00:36:06 I've never done ecstasy.

00:36:08 And I think that was a blessing for me, in a sense, going to a lot of funerals and seeing

00:36:15 a lot of people die from drugs.

00:36:17 It made me never want to touch a drug in my life, and it really saved my life.

00:36:22 So, yeah, I never told that story.

00:36:26 I'm telling it on stream now, but, yeah, I never really told that story because, again, 0.97

00:36:32 I just, I let people talk shit about me on the internet. 0.98

00:36:36 Right, right, right. 0.99

00:36:36 And I deal with it, and I say, you know what?

00:36:40 It's a blessing and a curse. 0.97

00:36:42 I can deal with people talking shit on the internet, but it provides me a life that I've 0.93

00:36:47 never had before for me and my children. 0.98

00:36:49 Well said, well said.

00:36:50 And you know what's interesting, you know, whenever you campaign, you have to, you go

00:36:56 out in the street, you hand out flyers, you tell, you know, we have information about

00:37:00 where you are.

00:37:01 And I'll never forget when I was campaigning to become a state senator.

00:37:05 You get up early in the morning, you'll give out thousands and thousands of flyers.

00:37:08 And people would take it and look at it and see, oh, man, this is the Brother 400 Black,

00:37:14 man.

00:37:14 We love you.

00:37:15 We're with you.

00:37:16 And then that one person would take my flyer and look at it and throw it on the floor and

00:37:19 like, you know, F you, man.

00:37:21 I'll never vote for you.

00:37:22 I would forget about the thousand that had nothing but positive affirmation.

00:37:27 It's like that sometimes, yeah.

00:37:28 And I remember that one person.

00:37:30 It gives you drive.

00:37:32 You understand what I'm saying?

00:37:33 It gives you drive.

00:37:34 Right.

00:37:35 And we have to learn how to ignore the critic and focus on people who are showing you love.

00:37:44 The good people, yeah, that are showing you love.

00:37:46 Yes, absolutely.

00:37:47 And nothing personifies it more than the internet. 1.00

00:37:51 I mean, the social media, I mean, you have a whole bunch of losers, man. 0.98

00:37:57 That are trying to, that's trying to, they look at you and they probably, their life is 0.98

00:38:03 not what it is.

00:38:04 Instead of saying to themselves, let me learn from what Amber did.

00:38:08 Yeah.

00:38:08 You know, let me reach out to her and say, hey, sister, what are some of the positive things

00:38:12 you can tell me?

00:38:13 How did you overcome so I can overcome it?

00:38:16 If people spend their energy doing that, they won't be in that dark place that you're in.

00:38:21 You know how I overcame that?

00:38:23 Mm-hmm.

00:38:24 I realized that a comment on social media is not as bad as how my life was growing up.

00:38:31 So, it just, you know what, it conditioned me for this life that I have now.

00:38:38 Love it, love it, love it.

00:38:39 Because I said, okay, you know, I'm bald, I look like Mr. Clean, okay, cool.

00:38:42 You know, that doesn't compare to what I've been through in my life, so I can laugh it

00:38:48 off and just, you know.

00:38:48 I love that.

00:38:49 And, you know, just text them back and say, you look like Mr. Clean's grandmother.

00:38:55 You know?

00:38:56 That's pretty funny.

00:38:57 Tell me about the tattoo.

00:38:58 You know, Jordan and I are going to get a tattoo.

00:39:00 Yeah, man.

00:39:01 Do it.

00:39:01 What's up?

00:39:01 We ain't got none.

00:39:02 We ain't got none.

00:39:03 No, don't get any.

00:39:04 Don't get any.

00:39:04 Neither one of us.

00:39:05 I know.

00:39:05 People are like, how you going to say that?

00:39:07 But don't get any tattoos.

00:39:08 What's your favorite tattoo?

00:39:10 I like my Hollywood.

00:39:11 I was going to say, I'm going to lie right there.

00:39:13 Because I always said, I was going to live in Hollywood.

00:39:15 Hold on now.

00:39:16 Now, who's this here?

00:39:17 That is a really bad portrait of my mom that I need to get fixed.

00:39:21 Because that really doesn't look like her, and I'm mad at the tattoo article.

00:39:26 But, yeah, I have my two pugs right here. 1.00

00:39:29 I had them for 15 years.

00:39:30 They were like my first children, before I had children.

00:39:33 They actually recently just died in the last two years.

00:39:36 And I love dogs.

00:39:37 I want a dog so bad.

00:39:38 I know.

00:39:39 I know.

00:39:40 Let them run around.

00:39:41 I might get a girl. 0.98

00:39:43 I got my 215 for Philly.

00:39:46 I got Slash from Guns N' Roses because he's biracial like me.

00:39:51 And I was just always a huge fan my whole life of Slash.

00:39:55 And he has a black mom and a white dad as well.

00:39:58 And I don't know.

00:39:59 I just always thought he was cool.

00:40:00 Now, your mom is black? 1.00

00:40:01 And my dad is white.

00:40:03 Italian?

00:40:04 Italian-Irish.

00:40:05 Okay.

00:40:05 Yeah, okay.

00:40:06 Yeah, from Philly.

00:40:06 You know, East Coast.

00:40:07 Italian-Irish.

00:40:08 Yeah.

00:40:08 How did you grow up being biracial?

00:40:14 Sometimes it was difficult because I'm more white passing.

00:40:19 So I always had to be like, I'm black.

00:40:22 I'm black too.

00:40:22 I swear. 0.76

00:40:23 I swear.

00:40:24 And then they would see my mom and they would be like, girl, you're adopted. 1.00

00:40:27 Shut up. 1.00

00:40:28 It's not your mama. 1.00

00:40:30 But it was interesting.

00:40:32 Yeah.

00:40:32 I love being biracial though.

00:40:34 You're what, Sean?

00:40:35 I am, uh, my mother is French-Australian.

00:40:39 My father's Indian.

00:40:41 Mm.

00:40:41 That makes me black. 0.96

00:40:42 Do you have biracial?

00:40:44 Richie, what do you mean, Richie?

00:40:46 My dad's Moroccan-French and my mom's Puerto Rican.

00:40:49 Mm.

00:40:50 Oh, wow.

00:40:50 And what do you think, though?

00:40:52 Your fifth.

00:40:52 I am, my mom's Filipino.

00:40:54 Yeah, my mom's Filipino.

00:40:56 My dad is half black and quarter Jewish, quarter white.

00:41:00 Mm.

00:41:01 And look, it's just sitting here.

00:41:03 Mm-hmm.

00:41:03 You know that?

00:41:04 Look at, look at the whole flavor, the mix.

00:41:06 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:07 New York mix here.

00:41:08 You know, New York mix.

00:41:10 I love it.

00:41:10 Is it difficult being a black politician?

00:41:14 In a, see, I mean, it's majority white.

00:41:16 What's that like?

00:41:18 Well, you know, and I always talk about when I, when I walk around City Hall at night.

00:41:24 Yeah.

00:41:25 In City Hall, you have all the mayors, their portraits are up on the wall.

00:41:30 Yeah.

00:41:30 And routinely I walk around and I stop at David Dinkins' picture because David Dinkins was

00:41:38 the only other African-American man.

00:41:40 He was the only other mayor of color in the city of New York.

00:41:43 Are you the first black guy?

00:41:44 Dinkins? 0.55

00:41:44 I'm the second.

00:41:44 The second.

00:41:45 He was the first.

00:41:45 Dinkins? 0.55

00:41:46 30 years ago.

00:41:47 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:47 I remember Dinkins.

00:41:48 30 years ago.

00:41:49 I remember Dinkins.

00:41:50 And I stand in front of this picture and I just, you know, I've talked with him.

00:41:54 I, you know, it's, it's, the weight is unbelievable.

00:41:58 And, you know, God, I believe God, whatever I went through, he prepared me for this moment.

00:42:06 And it's, it's challenging because, you know, people don't think that you're able to, you

00:42:13 know, to overcome, you know, Hey man, I didn't go to Harvard and Yale.

00:42:17 I went to jail.

00:42:18 I got a lot of bars.

00:42:21 You know what I'm saying?

00:42:21 I just think about that.

00:42:22 He should have been a rapper over here.

00:42:24 But think about that for a moment.

00:42:26 You know?

00:42:27 Right, exactly. 0.99

00:42:28 So, you're, you're, you're, you're never, you are, you are too black for others and you're 1.00

00:42:33 not black enough for your folks. 0.99

00:42:36 You know, so you're always in, you're always in this place where, um, yeah, you drop black 1.00

00:42:42 unemployment, you know, yeah, you gave high speed broadband and nice to deserve this.

00:42:47 You paid off college tuition for foster care of children.

00:42:50 But there's always, when you have other people telling your story, then people don't really

00:42:56 know your story.

00:42:57 And so that's why, that's why it's powerful what, you know, what you're doing, Amber, and

00:43:02 what you're doing, because what, one of the positives of social media, you can bypass

00:43:08 those who control the narratives for years.

00:43:11 Right.

00:43:12 You know, I'm no longer dependent on those who control the narrative.

00:43:17 Now I can sit down with someone like you, where you can stream and you can hear the

00:43:20 long version and not the soundbite, you know, and people are, you know, I've, I've done,

00:43:25 you know, a couple of, uh, platforms.

00:43:27 I saw you do a stream a couple of weeks ago.

00:43:30 Yeah.

00:43:30 Walking around on this, um, don't remember his name, but that was pretty interesting.

00:43:33 Yeah.

00:43:33 It was an IRL stream.

00:43:35 Right, right, right.

00:43:35 Right, right, right, right.

00:43:37 And a good guy too, man.

00:43:38 We had a nice conversation when he sat down and he had a powerful, so Philly too.

00:43:42 Okay.

00:43:42 He had a powerful story, you know, with his family, similar.

00:43:45 Uh, and, uh, now he's doing his stream and just having real conversations.

00:43:49 People need real, authentic conversations, you know, and that's my goal, man.

00:43:55 My goal is so the next person that comes after me, they know they can do it and they don't

00:44:00 have to pretend.

00:44:01 Just be who you are, man.

00:44:03 People, people are, people are going to critique you.

00:44:05 They're going to tweet you.

00:44:07 They're going to say all sorts of negative things, no matter what you do.

00:44:09 So you're masterful to be who you are.

00:44:11 That's a fact.

00:44:11 And you're right, it does give a voice to a lot of losers that before the internet,

00:44:16 they never had a voice.

00:44:17 Their opinion never mattered at all.

00:44:19 It is about drowning that out.

00:44:20 Their opinion still don't matter.

00:44:21 At all, right?

00:44:22 Their opinion still don't matter.

00:44:23 But they're heard now.

00:44:24 Right.

00:44:25 Yeah, they are heard.

00:44:26 And they call us.

00:44:27 Like you see what's playing out on our streets right now, you know, in, um, in America,

00:44:32 you know, people out there.

00:44:33 I mean, you had two people today, um, elected officials that were assassinated.

00:44:38 I saw that.

00:44:39 Yeah.

00:44:39 You know, in Minnesota.

00:44:40 They went to their homes, they assassinated, uh, the wife and the husband, all because

00:44:46 of their political position.

00:44:48 Yeah, it's sad.

00:44:49 Right.

00:44:50 You know, think about that.

00:44:51 That's, that's, that's, that's, that is the level of hate, man.

00:44:54 Pain is real, man.

00:44:55 People are real.

00:44:56 You know, you talk about your mother going through, uh, mental health issues.

00:45:00 That's where we are now.

00:45:02 People are in a dark place, man.

00:45:04 When you're in a dark place, you want to, you want to hurt yourself and you want to hurt

00:45:08 others.

00:45:08 Yeah.

00:45:09 You know?

00:45:09 You know, that's, that's what we say.

00:45:10 Hurt people hurt people.

00:45:12 Without a doubt.

00:45:13 You see it over and over again.

00:45:15 You know, can I, because people do say that, right?

00:45:18 Mm-hmm.

00:45:18 I really don't believe that statement.

00:45:21 Tell me about it.

00:45:22 What?

00:45:22 Hurt people hurt people.

00:45:25 Because I feel like there's so many, I'm hurt, you were hurt, I'm sure you were hurt.

00:45:29 I don't believe that either.

00:45:30 Yeah, because it's like, that's a powerful statement.

00:45:32 Yeah.

00:45:32 We've all been hurt.

00:45:34 We've all been hurt.

00:45:34 We've all been poor.

00:45:35 We didn't turn to violence.

00:45:36 Right.

00:45:37 We didn't, we didn't go out and kill people because we felt bad.

00:45:40 Mm-hmm.

00:45:41 You know, I just, you know, and I hate to be insensitive.

00:45:44 I feel like there's just weak-minded people.

00:45:46 I was going to say, weak people hurt people.

00:45:47 Weak people hurt people.

00:45:48 I like that.

00:45:49 I like that. 0.93

00:45:49 Some of the most privileged people kill people.

00:45:51 Yeah.

00:45:52 Mm-hmm.

00:45:52 I mean, some hurt people.

00:45:53 Some of the most, some of the richest people in the world hurt people.

00:45:56 Mm-hmm.

00:45:57 Mm-hmm.

00:45:57 Think about it.

00:45:58 If you're hurt, you know how it feels.

00:46:00 Yeah.

00:46:00 So you don't do that to others because you know how it feels.

00:46:02 Yes.

00:46:03 So I feel that if you're hurt and you go through a lot of mental trauma, whatever, you actually

00:46:08 become better.

00:46:09 I'm a better mother because of what my mother went through.

00:46:12 I'm a better mother to my children because I don't make the same mistakes my mother did

00:46:16 with me.

00:46:17 Mm-hmm.

00:46:17 You will never want to feel.

00:46:18 Yeah.

00:46:19 Your kids feel what you felt.

00:46:21 Absolutely.

00:46:21 So when you're hurt, you want to not hurt people.

00:46:25 I think you hurt less people.

00:46:26 But what he said, weak people hurt people.

00:46:29 Mm-hmm.

00:46:29 And it's really true because it's like, who cares about a political view?

00:46:33 When I, when I endorsed Donald Trump, I still had a bunch of friends.

00:46:37 My personal assistant that's been with me for 10 years, he voted for Kamala.

00:46:42 Mm-hmm.

00:46:42 I didn't fire him.

00:46:43 Right, right, right.

00:46:44 I said, we live in a free country.

00:46:45 You're allowed to make your own decisions and who you want to vote for.

00:46:50 That's okay, you know?

00:46:51 But I, I feel like a lot of the times it's like, let's just have different political views.

00:46:56 We can all coexist together.

00:46:58 It doesn't have to be that bad.

00:47:01 Why did you decide, you know, um, to go with Donald?

00:47:07 You know, what was the reason?

00:47:08 What, what, what, what was the reason that you said, you know what?

00:47:11 Because you were a Democrat before.

00:47:13 I was.

00:47:14 And you decided that, hey, now I want to go with.

00:47:15 I posted a picture of a trash, overflowing trash can. 0.64

00:47:19 I said, what is Donald Trump doing here?

00:47:20 Mm-hmm.

00:47:20 That's what I posted the last election.

00:47:22 Mm-hmm.

00:47:23 So, my political views changed drastically because I felt slighted.

00:47:28 I felt like the media lied to me.

00:47:31 Mm-hmm.

00:47:31 And I don't like to be lied to.

00:47:32 Mm-hmm.

00:47:33 And when I saw the five second clips of him saying things and I'm like, oh, this is a bad guy. 0.97

00:47:38 He's racist. 0.92

00:47:39 Mm-hmm. 1.00

00:47:39 He doesn't like black people, right? 0.95

00:47:41 That's not true at all. 0.95

00:47:41 And then I saw the whole clip and I'm like, oh, y'all really played in my face.

00:47:47 It pissed me off.

00:47:49 That's true.

00:47:49 I was upset.

00:47:50 That's me here.

00:47:50 I know him personally.

00:47:52 He's probably one of the nicest guys.

00:47:53 He's one of the nicest, funniest people.

00:47:56 I know.

00:47:56 And he loves black people.

00:47:58 He does.

00:47:59 I belong to Mar-a-Lago.

00:48:00 Yeah.

00:48:01 At that club, there's more black people working.

00:48:04 Mm-hmm. 0.66

00:48:04 More immigrants working than white people.

00:48:06 Mm-hmm.

00:48:07 At Mar-a-Lago, at his house where he lives.

00:48:09 Yeah.

00:48:09 And I see how he is with people.

00:48:11 Even everything that's going on now.

00:48:13 I know in a long time.

00:48:14 I talk to my friends and they're like, he hates Mexicans.

00:48:16 I'm like, girl, you don't know nothing.

00:48:19 Just stay out of politics, girl, because you don't know nothing. 1.00

00:48:23 It's like, I don't understand how you can't look at everything and then make a decision.

00:48:30 You know?

00:48:31 Right, right, right.

00:48:32 People don't want to do that.

00:48:32 Look at both sides.

00:48:33 Then make a decision.

00:48:34 Right.

00:48:35 You know?

00:48:35 Do your research.

00:48:36 And now allow others to do so.

00:48:38 And so, you know, when I got indicted, and a lot of people, no one really read the indictment.

00:48:47 I didn't.

00:48:47 I was indicted because I called the fire department and asked them to do a building inspection for a building that we were trying to get open because the president of the country was coming here.

00:49:02 And when I texted the commissioner, I said, can you have somebody go do an inspection?

00:49:08 And if you can't, let me know and I'll manage their expectations.

00:49:11 They said, well, Turkey upgraded you when you flew.

00:49:16 I don't know who don't try to get an upgrade.

00:49:18 And they said, we're now saying that you committed bribery because you called the fire department and you pressured them to inspect the building, not to pass the inspection.

00:49:28 I was facing over 30 years in prison for them.

00:49:31 Over 30 years in prison.

00:49:32 He was on the campaign trail.

00:49:35 I never met Donald Trump.

00:49:36 Never met him.

00:49:38 He was on the campaign trail saying, look what they're doing to this guy.

00:49:42 You know?

00:49:42 He identified with what happened to his family.

00:49:45 Right.

00:49:45 He saw it as what happened to me.

00:49:47 And so he was on the campaign trail.

00:49:50 We never met, but he was saying, look what they're doing to that man in New York.

00:49:53 So what do you think was the reason that you were targeted like that?

00:49:57 We had an overflow of migrants and asylum seekers coming to the city.

00:50:03 Oh, the hotels, right?

00:50:04 Yeah, 237,000.

00:50:06 A lot.

00:50:06 Right.

00:50:07 And I went back and forth to Washington.

00:50:10 I met with the President Biden twice.

00:50:12 I went back and forth to Washington and saying, listen, this is not sustainable.

00:50:16 It costs $7.7 billion, would it be?

00:50:19 And each time I went, they didn't do anything about our border.

00:50:22 They didn't secure the border.

00:50:24 They were all coming to New York.

00:50:25 And after 10 trips to Washington, after playing with the President, they didn't want to listen.

00:50:31 It was devastating, the city.

00:50:33 And I said, listen, they told me, be a good Democrat, be quiet.

00:50:36 I said, listen, I'm not going to.

00:50:37 I was elected to help this city.

00:50:40 And when I started criticizing them, all of a sudden, you know, they stepped to me.

00:50:46 They played dirty.

00:50:47 Right.

00:50:47 Dirty?

00:50:50 Dirty.

00:50:51 You know? 0.98

00:50:52 But you need to talk about how they've been chasing you just about all of my life.

00:50:56 You know what I'm saying?

00:50:57 Right, right, right.

00:50:58 That was always.

00:50:59 From some time, the FBI has always been chasing you.

00:51:02 Yeah.

00:51:02 And me not being a politician, being on the outside and watching everything, you've been

00:51:08 making sure the city has been safe.

00:51:10 You have been making sure the city has been booming, like, entertainment-wise.

00:51:13 So it makes no sense for anyone to come after you for some tickets on a plane, for some international

00:51:18 stuff when you're already Mr. International with New York City.

00:51:21 Right, no, without a doubt.

00:51:22 So it was because you spoke your mind.

00:51:23 I'm only saying it because I'm not a politician.

00:51:26 It's some BS.

00:51:27 You poked your chest out and they got mad about it.

00:51:29 So maybe we all have that in common.

00:51:31 I used to be a Democrat.

00:51:33 I voted for Bernie Sanders in 2016.

00:51:35 And then when I saw what the Democratic Party did to rig it against him, I voted for Trump.

00:51:39 So it seems like you're no longer part of the Democrat Party.

00:51:42 No, I'm still a Democrat.

00:51:44 I'm running on the independent line for office.

00:51:48 I'm still a Democrat.

00:51:50 I believe that it should be what your principles are and what you should stand for.

00:51:57 Because a Democrat is not a monolithic party where everyone believes the same thing.

00:52:01 You know, 79% of New Yorkers agree with me that if you are undocumented and you commit 1.00

00:52:07 a violent crime after you save your time, you should be the board.

00:52:10 You got to go.

00:52:11 Right.

00:52:11 And many people don't believe that.

00:52:13 They don't believe that no matter what.

00:52:14 And, you know, what's interesting, those violent Venezuelan gang members, like I went 1.00

00:52:19 down to Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico to talk to the people down there.

00:52:25 They said, these violent gangs are destroying us.

00:52:29 And many of them made their way up here through our borders.

00:52:32 And when we decided that, listen, you can't stay in this country if you are violating your

00:52:39 privilege of being here.

00:52:41 And those gangs are preying on women, they're forcing them into prostitution, they're taking

00:52:45 their papers and forcing them into prostitution, they're threatening their family members at 0.93

00:52:50 home, they are shooting innocent people.

00:52:53 And so there's a, in a Democratic Party, the far left of our party embraced the belief that

00:53:00 no matter what you do, you should still be able to remain there.

00:53:03 And I said, that's not how I roll.

00:53:05 Absolutely.

00:53:05 That's not how I roll.

00:53:06 I think our party's losing its mind.

00:53:07 There's a lot of, not all of them, of course.

00:53:09 Right, right, right.

00:53:09 It's when it's so absurd that they're allowing crime, they don't, they look the other way.

00:53:14 I think that's why, that pushed us more.

00:53:17 This way?

00:53:18 It's so absurd that they're allowing Madani.

00:53:21 Right, right, right, right, exactly.

00:53:24 He's not wise enough or old enough at all to.

00:53:27 I'd like to change subjects real quick.

00:53:29 Dad, I'm going to talk to you about the feminist movement, but Amber, I'm going to talk to you 0.93

00:53:34 about the slut walk. 0.97

00:53:35 Okay.

00:53:35 How do y'all feel about the feminist movement in New York City as far as women being empowered,

00:53:42 women finding great jobs, and women being figures in this city to be a staple? 1.00

00:53:47 Hmm.

00:53:49 So I no longer do the slut walk. 0.97

00:53:51 Yeah, I know. 0.93

00:53:51 I'm talking about that walk. 0.95

00:53:52 Okay, so the slut walk was very misconstrued. 1.00

00:53:56 They thought I was promoting promiscuity to young girls to be sluts. 1.00

00:54:00 That's not what the slut walk was at all. 1.00

00:54:04 We raised a lot of money to help women that were survivors of sexual assault and rape.

00:54:10 Um, we also got them counseling.

00:54:13 We donated to Trevor Project, which was about young gay kids that wanted to commit suicide 1.00

00:54:18 because their families didn't accept them. 0.96

00:54:20 So we did all the right things in slut walk. 0.97

00:54:23 The name slut walk just, I mean, people just didn't want to research it and they just assumed

00:54:29 what it was.

00:54:30 Um, so that's one of the reasons why I stopped doing it.

00:54:34 And also, um, I'm no longer a feminist because men and women are not equal. 0.88

00:54:42 We're just not equal.

00:54:44 We're never going to be equal in a lot of ways.

00:54:47 And I'm okay with that, being a woman.

00:54:50 Um, I feel like if there was no men on the planet, women would probably suffer in a lot 1.00

00:54:57 of ways.

00:54:58 We would suffer too if there was no women here. 1.00

00:55:00 I'm just letting y'all know right now.

00:55:02 I agree.

00:55:03 I agree.

00:55:04 And I feel like we need each other.

00:55:05 Yes.

00:55:06 Yes.

00:55:06 Um, and, um, you know, I, I think that, um, I personally believe in gender roles.

00:55:14 It's a personal opinion.

00:55:17 Um, but yeah, I'm no longer a feminist for that reason, which is why Sneaker was just 1.00

00:55:22 saying that we both lean more right now.

00:55:24 Um, because what we initially believed in on the left is no longer that it's more leaning

00:55:32 right.

00:55:32 Um, just common sense, logic, things of that nature.

00:55:36 Yeah.

00:55:37 Um, it just got a little too extreme for me.

00:55:39 Right.

00:55:40 And, and that's why I moved.

00:55:42 And that's interesting.

00:55:42 Because you, you, you, you voted, you said, you know, Bernie Sanders in the primary.

00:55:46 That's powerful.

00:55:48 Yeah.

00:55:48 And then switched and voted for Trump in 2016 and 2024.

00:55:52 Me too.

00:55:52 I voted, I voted for Bernie Sanders as well.

00:55:54 Yeah.

00:55:55 Yeah.

00:55:55 For sure.

00:55:55 And, and, and, and, and, and so similar to what they did with Bernie, they did with Biden.

00:56:00 Mm-hmm.

00:56:01 You know, they, they, you know, compelled him.

00:56:05 First of all, it's clear now that they knew that he was, you know, dealing with some cognitive

00:56:09 issues.

00:56:10 Right.

00:56:10 And, and the, the, the whole, the institution covered it up.

00:56:14 The media covered it up.

00:56:16 They don't want to acknowledge that.

00:56:17 And they covered it up.

00:56:18 You know, the whole institution covered it up.

00:56:21 And let me tell you something.

00:56:22 You know, people don't want, there's a book I tell everybody about.

00:56:24 They get upset when I talk about it.

00:56:26 Cash Patel's book, um, uh, uh, government gangsta.

00:56:30 Government gangsta.

00:56:31 I'm telling you, people, every American should read that book because there is a, you could,

00:56:37 they use the terminology of deep state, whatever term you want.

00:56:42 There's a permanent government that's connected.

00:56:45 The media is part of it.

00:56:46 Correct.

00:56:46 The prosecutors are part of it.

00:56:49 The government officials have been in the gang for 30, 40 years.

00:56:52 They all know each other.

00:56:54 And when they, let me tell you something, Amber, when they come at you, man.

00:56:58 I'm just waiting for my turn.

00:56:59 I feel like they hate me.

00:57:02 Let me, let me ask you a question.

00:57:04 I know.

00:57:05 You know, look, I mean, what are you going to do?

00:57:08 I got to live my, my, my true self.

00:57:11 Right.

00:57:12 Have you ever watched Scandal?

00:57:14 Yes.

00:57:15 Love Scandal.

00:57:15 Right.

00:57:16 Yeah, love Scandal.

00:57:16 You know, Paul, I'm surprised.

00:57:18 Wait, how, how accurate is that?

00:57:20 I asked all.

00:57:21 Very much.

00:57:22 It is, right?

00:57:22 Very much.

00:57:23 You know, you know who they say it's based on?

00:57:25 It's based on Steve Cohen, the owner of the net, the nets, they say.

00:57:29 Really?

00:57:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah, very, think about this for a moment.

00:57:33 Here in New York, there's a prosecutor's office that's called the Southern District.

00:57:38 Okay.

00:57:39 One of the most powerful prosecutor's office, and all of them, they, they are, they openly

00:57:45 say that we are solvent.

00:57:48 And, you know, solvent means you answer to no one.

00:57:51 Mm-hmm.

00:57:52 They don't feel the answer to the president.

00:57:54 They don't feel the answer to their voice in Washington.

00:57:57 They feel that they are a solvent entity.

00:57:59 And when I hear, I say, I say to Americans.

00:58:01 You better watch it, man.

00:58:02 Yeah, I say to him.

00:58:04 Go after you, man.

00:58:06 They go after you.

00:58:08 Andrew and Tristan Pate right now are getting prosecuted by the Southern District Court of

00:58:13 New York.

00:58:14 Yeah.

00:58:14 All the way from Florida.

00:58:17 They moved it to New York because of what he just said.

00:58:20 Yeah, no, no.

00:58:20 They think they're.

00:58:22 Sobbing.

00:58:23 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:23 There's no one sobbing in, in America.

00:58:26 You know, everyone, the president answers to some.

00:58:29 You know, he wants things done.

00:58:31 He has to go through the Congress and the Senate.

00:58:34 As the man, if I want something done, I have to go through the state and I have to go through

00:58:38 the city council.

00:58:39 No one is solvent.

00:58:40 America is based on a principle that no one is solvent.

00:58:43 So when you have an entity with that much power that states that we answer to no one,

00:58:48 that's not in the Constitution.

00:58:50 Where do you get that from?

00:58:52 You know?

00:58:52 Right.

00:58:53 You know, you, we all answer to someone.

00:58:56 And that's, that solvent mindset is what rolled on me.

00:58:59 They were planning, you know, they were planning to, I was at the marathon and I was going,

00:59:06 I was holding the tape for the runners that come across.

00:59:08 They were planning to go surround me and take my phones while all the cameras are on me

00:59:14 at the marathon.

00:59:16 That's insane.

00:59:17 Think about that.

00:59:19 That's insane.

00:59:20 Right, right, right.

00:59:21 But you still seem optimistic.

00:59:23 It seems like you still want to stay, you don't want to lose your position.

00:59:26 Yeah, yeah.

00:59:27 No.

00:59:27 Well, you know, I turn on, every day I turn on my GPS.

00:59:33 My God position is satellite.

00:59:35 I have let go and I let God.

00:59:37 You know, God.

00:59:37 I'm going to take the wheel.

00:59:38 Yes.

00:59:38 He also wants to be mayor.

00:59:41 Huh?

00:59:41 He wants to be mayor.

00:59:42 Yeah, but if God, I'm going to work.

00:59:44 I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do.

00:59:45 But if God wants me to be the mayor, I'm going to do my job and let him do his job.

00:59:51 And when you wake up with that belief, you no longer live in fear.

00:59:57 You're no longer worried about tomorrow.

01:00:02 You know, like I said, when you look at the journey, you know, there were many times where

01:00:07 I could have been defeated.

01:00:09 And I'm just, I know what I've done for the city that I love.

01:00:13 I know how good I've been for the city that I love.

01:00:16 And I'm not going to wake up every day and say, what if I'm no longer going to do this?

01:00:19 Because there's always going, God is always going to have something for me to do.

01:00:23 So I'm looking to be reelected because the city needs to continue what we accomplish.

01:00:28 We can finish what you started.

01:00:29 Right, right, right.

01:00:30 Can't say it better, Richie.

01:00:31 No one knows that better than you.

01:00:33 You are the owner of One Oak.

01:00:36 Hold on, man.

01:00:37 Hold on, man.

01:00:38 You know, you look at Richie's story.

01:00:40 You know, we all talk about our story.

01:00:42 This brother here.

01:00:43 That's similar.

01:00:44 That's real.

01:00:44 You know, this brother here, man.

01:00:48 Should I go to One Oak?

01:00:49 I got to go to the street.

01:00:49 I got to be into a lot to do what I've had to learn disability.

01:00:53 And look where you are now.

01:00:54 Your name is on the lips of every prominent person in this country.

01:01:00 You know?

01:01:01 Yeah.

01:01:02 And you're still doing what you do.

01:01:05 You know, that's what it's about, man.

01:01:08 Dad, I'm waiting for you to be a movie star.

01:01:10 I'm waiting for you to be the action hero.

01:01:12 You know what I'm saying?

01:01:13 Someone takes the married son. 0.84

01:01:15 He go ahead and run down on them.

01:01:17 You know what I'm saying?

01:01:18 That's the movie right there.

01:01:20 Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

01:01:21 But I got another question for you.

01:01:22 I know you're asking the question.

01:01:23 But I will say, what do you feel like New York is missing that you want in the city?

01:01:35 Outside 11?

01:01:37 Yeah.

01:01:37 I'm with you with the 11.

01:01:39 Because the 11 is.

01:01:41 You want to bring 11 in?

01:01:42 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:43 That's my favorite club in Miami.

01:01:45 Come on, now. 0.87

01:01:46 We need that here.

01:01:47 Yes, I know.

01:01:48 Yeah.

01:01:49 She's going to talk about that?

01:01:51 That's me.

01:01:51 Oh, wait.

01:01:52 I got Mokdani's going to talk about that.

01:01:54 I'm on the same page.

01:01:55 Mokdani.

01:01:57 Mokdani's not thinking that way.

01:02:01 That's hilarious.

01:02:03 I don't know if they know that club.

01:02:04 That's a good Miami club.

01:02:06 Come on.

01:02:06 That's how he's not kidding.

01:02:08 He's not kidding at all.

01:02:09 That's serious.

01:02:11 We need a 24-hour district.

01:02:14 You know, this is a city that never sleeps, so, you know, we shouldn't even be taking a nap.

01:02:19 Hello.

01:02:19 You know, people get up all the time.

01:02:22 And what I've learned from my policing days is that this city is broken into mornings, afternoons, and overnights.

01:02:30 Right.

01:02:31 And we need to feed all three of those entities.

01:02:35 Because, you know, like, you know, I think one of you said, like even in your club business, you know how many people you employ?

01:02:42 Yeah, big time.

01:02:43 Big time.

01:02:44 And those people who are trying to make their way is crucial.

01:02:48 And they're proud.

01:02:48 And they owe their taxes.

01:02:49 And they owe their proud.

01:02:50 They're proud hard.

01:02:51 Right.

01:02:52 Hard working.

01:02:54 And so, but I think outside of that, we need a 24-hour district.

01:02:59 And we just need to continue our trajectory.

01:03:02 The city that never sleeps.

01:03:04 Right.

01:03:04 What does a 24-hour district look like?

01:03:06 Is it markets?

01:03:07 Is it casinos?

01:03:08 Is it clubs?

01:03:09 Is it kooka lounges?

01:03:10 Well, they're going to bring casinos here.

01:03:11 If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

01:03:12 Right.

01:03:12 I love that.

01:03:13 Oh, 100%.

01:03:14 Richie says, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

01:03:18 It's not about any other city or any other country or any other place in the world.

01:03:23 But that's stuck.

01:03:25 Right.

01:03:25 And I meet with mayors across the globe.

01:03:28 And they'll be in the room arguing who's number two, who's number three.

01:03:33 Then they'll look up at me and smile.

01:03:35 They say, we know who's number one.

01:03:36 Come on, man.

01:03:38 Come on, man.

01:03:39 I know that's right.

01:03:40 One of the things that the mayor did was the crypto.

01:03:43 We did a crypto event here.

01:03:45 And I think.

01:03:46 Yeah.

01:03:47 Yeah.

01:03:47 Are you in the crypto space?

01:03:49 I got some crypto.

01:03:50 Yeah.

01:03:51 Yeah.

01:03:51 When I first.

01:03:52 I wrote a lot.

01:03:53 Do you?

01:03:53 Yeah.

01:03:53 Please.

01:03:54 Please.

01:03:54 I got a lot.

01:03:55 Please.

01:03:56 Yeah.

01:03:56 This is the Tom right here.

01:03:58 Tom Eyre is going to tell us about the plan for the crypto as a crypto capital.

01:04:02 Yeah.

01:04:03 What do you hold the most?

01:04:03 Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana?

01:04:05 Bitcoin.

01:04:06 I took my first three paychecks in Bitcoin.

01:04:11 The city of New York paid you in Bitcoin?

01:04:12 Yeah.

01:04:13 No.

01:04:13 The way it is.

01:04:14 What?

01:04:14 Early on?

01:04:15 Yeah.

01:04:16 Yeah.

01:04:16 When I first got elected.

01:04:17 How good for you.

01:04:17 My first three paychecks.

01:04:19 Everybody laughed at me.

01:04:20 They all called me names.

01:04:21 You know what's wrong with you.

01:04:22 Now, who's laughing?

01:04:23 I'm going to talk to you.

01:04:23 It was probably like $15,000, $19,000 when you got paid at it.

01:04:27 That's right.

01:04:27 It's $100,000 now.

01:04:28 You get five extra money just like that.

01:04:29 I'm doing very well.

01:04:33 You got a rich people's laugh.

01:04:34 Yeah.

01:04:35 I got a rich people's laugh right there.

01:04:38 But we really want to lean into blockchain, Bitcoin, and particularly those who have family

01:04:47 members out of the country.

01:04:48 They could use Bitcoin, their digital assets to send money back home to their loved ones

01:04:54 and without paying those exorbitant fees from doing so.

01:04:58 And so I'm really focused on, I want my young people to learn in earlier grades about AI,

01:05:07 about Bitcoins, about, you know, blockchain, because this is an industry that's open, particularly

01:05:12 for young folks.

01:05:13 You're looking into the future.

01:05:14 Yes.

01:05:15 Without that, look at the ashes on that.

01:05:17 How did you start streaming?

01:05:31 I started streaming three years ago.

01:05:33 I was doing YouTube for 10 years before that, so I've been doing content for a long time.

01:05:38 I've always wanted to speak up and, you know, have my voice heard and make films, so I'm

01:05:44 a veteran at this game.

01:05:45 Love it.

01:05:46 You're a native New Yorker?

01:05:47 I was born on 14th Street.

01:05:49 Love it.

01:05:49 Yeah, I've lived all over New York.

01:05:51 I lived in Harlem before I got a nice apartment here.

01:05:54 I live downtown, financial district now.

01:05:55 Okay.

01:05:56 Okay.

01:05:56 Yeah, I lived in Bushwick.

01:05:57 I lived in Queens and all over the city.

01:05:59 Love it.

01:06:00 Love it.

01:06:00 Kind of like you.

01:06:01 Yeah.

01:06:02 Yeah.

01:06:03 Now, you never lived in New York?

01:06:04 I did.

01:06:05 I lived in the Bronx.

01:06:06 Okay.

01:06:07 I used to work at Sue's Rendezvous in Mount Vernon.

01:06:09 Another spot?

01:06:10 Yeah.

01:06:11 Yeah, that's where, that's how I initially got out of Philly.

01:06:14 Uh-huh.

01:06:15 And I was signed to Ford Models up here.

01:06:18 Love it.

01:06:18 And I wasn't a famous model, so I still had to work.

01:06:22 Right.

01:06:23 You know?

01:06:23 So I worked at Sue's Rendezvous, and that would make extra money, and I would send money back

01:06:27 to my mom in Philly.

01:06:28 Love it.

01:06:29 Love it.

01:06:30 Yeah.

01:06:30 Is your mother still with us?

01:06:31 She is.

01:06:32 Okay.

01:06:32 What is she doing now? 0.98

01:06:34 She don't have to work a day in her life. 1.00

01:06:36 Love it.

01:06:37 She's good.

01:06:37 She gets an allowance for being my mom.

01:06:39 Mm.

01:06:40 That's it.

01:06:41 Proud is only for me.

01:06:43 Yeah.

01:06:43 Everything's paid for.

01:06:44 Mm-hmm.

01:06:45 She got everything she wants.

01:06:46 Where is she?

01:06:47 She in Philly?

01:06:47 She's in Jersey.

01:06:48 Jersey?

01:06:48 Where?

01:06:49 Where?

01:06:49 Uh, South Jersey.

01:06:50 Okay.

01:06:51 Some people say I live in Jersey.

01:06:52 Yeah.

01:06:53 Okay.

01:06:54 Yeah, she's in South Jersey.

01:06:55 She's doing very well.

01:06:56 She goes to church.

01:06:57 She got a bunch of friends at church.

01:07:00 She takes care of the kids on Sunday.

01:07:02 Mm.

01:07:02 You know, she loves the kids.

01:07:04 So, her life evolved.

01:07:06 She's doing so well.

01:07:07 She's so happy.

01:07:08 I love that.

01:07:09 That's amazing.

01:07:09 And I'm happy for her.

01:07:10 Yeah.

01:07:11 I'm happy for her.

01:07:11 Does she remarry? 1.00

01:07:12 She never, no.

01:07:14 She never remarried.

01:07:15 Mm.

01:07:15 No.

01:07:16 Love that.

01:07:17 Who are your parents?

01:07:18 They're here?

01:07:19 My parents, they live in Connecticut.

01:07:20 Okay.

01:07:21 Yeah, they live in Connecticut.

01:07:22 I mostly grew up in, most of my childhood was New Haven.

01:07:25 Okay.

01:07:25 Yeah, I live there.

01:07:26 We had better pizza in New Haven, I do want to know.

01:07:28 Oh, relax.

01:07:29 Relax.

01:07:30 Oh, that's a huge statement, girl.

01:07:32 Relax.

01:07:33 Relax.

01:07:34 Relax.

01:07:36 That's crazy.

01:07:37 I'll debate you all day about that.

01:07:39 I'm not letting that go down.

01:07:40 New Haven pizza.

01:07:41 No, New York.

01:07:42 I'm not letting that go down.

01:07:43 I'm not letting that go down.

01:07:44 Chicago next.

01:07:45 You just got canceled.

01:07:46 Yeah.

01:07:48 By the way, I'll take you to a place and I'll take you to a place and I'll take you to a

01:07:52 piece of Queens and Forest Hills, this little spot, best pizza you've ever had.

01:07:55 Come on, man.

01:07:56 I used to live there.

01:07:56 I've tried the pizza that is not compared to New Haven.

01:07:59 We got to go to New Haven.

01:08:00 I want to take pizza.

01:08:00 You said I got receipts.

01:08:02 I'm a real New Yorker.

01:08:05 I'll try to come on, man.

01:08:06 Give me one Richie, please.

01:08:09 New York's always crazy.

01:08:10 Yeah.

01:08:10 I think the past two years have been maybe specifically crazy.

01:08:14 What do you think was more wild for the city?

01:08:17 Was it the Diddy trial happening right now or Luigi Mangione?

01:08:22 I think...

01:08:22 I saw you talking about Luigi.

01:08:24 Yeah.

01:08:24 He had to be there.

01:08:26 That's interesting.

01:08:27 He had to be there.

01:08:28 Yeah.

01:08:28 When Luigi came back to the city, I met him on a helicopter because he sent a very strong

01:08:35 message.

01:08:36 You can't feed into the fear to assassinate someone in that magnitude.

01:08:40 That's why I was looking at the No King's Day flyer.

01:08:45 They had a crown with blood coming from it.

01:08:48 And we can't feed into this assassination culture.

01:08:52 Absolutely.

01:08:53 You know, that's what fed into what happened in Minnesota.

01:08:56 The guy who assassinated the elected officials in Minnesota, he had no king.

01:09:02 He had flyers in his car, no king.

01:09:05 You know?

01:09:06 And so one of the theories is that he was upset because those elected officials voted against

01:09:14 giving undocumented people health care.

01:09:16 And they were upset over that vote.

01:09:19 That's the theory that's out.

01:09:20 But one thing for sure, he had no king's flyers.

01:09:24 And so people don't realize that a lot of folks are being radicalized right now.

01:09:27 And when you look at these surveys of people saying assassination because you disagree with someone's policy is acceptable.

01:09:38 That's the mindset.

01:09:39 We're creating this.

01:09:40 Yeah.

01:09:40 You know, as you were saying, people don't want to even have a conversation when they disagree.

01:09:46 Right.

01:09:46 They think that you have to be canceled or killed on one or the other. 0.85

01:09:50 Right. 0.81

01:09:50 Right.

01:09:50 That's not fair.

01:09:51 It's not just talking to them.

01:09:52 Right.

01:09:53 Yeah.

01:09:53 Just having a conversation.

01:09:54 We have a real conversation.

01:09:56 And you know what I think it is, too?

01:09:57 I think a lot of people have never traveled the world.

01:10:00 Hello.

01:10:01 Once you travel the world, you realize how great America is.

01:10:04 Right.

01:10:04 You come back here.

01:10:06 You kiss the soil.

01:10:07 And you're like, oh, I got a corner store.

01:10:10 I can go get, I can get something two o'clock in the morning if I'm hungry.

01:10:14 Everyone that I've met in New York that's not from here, I tell them this one thing.

01:10:20 You have to leave New York to love New York.

01:10:22 Yeah.

01:10:23 Yeah.

01:10:23 It's true.

01:10:24 Sure.

01:10:25 Whenever the buildings start coming in on you, whenever you start getting really down,

01:10:29 whenever you start getting stressed, get out.

01:10:31 Right.

01:10:31 And then the minute you come back and you land in that city and you see those buildings.

01:10:36 That's right.

01:10:37 Yeah.

01:10:38 I forget how much you love it.

01:10:40 You are so happy to be home.

01:10:41 You know what I'm saying?

01:10:42 Right?

01:10:42 You know?

01:10:43 You can even go to the south of France and want to come back.

01:10:46 The problem is people stay through that pressure, through that stress, through that thing,

01:10:51 and then they just get beat.

01:10:54 Well said.

01:10:55 Well said.

01:10:56 And then they're like, I don't like New York.

01:10:57 I want to leave.

01:10:58 Yeah.

01:10:58 That's real.

01:10:58 Right?

01:10:59 That's so real.

01:10:59 The minute you start feeling like that, you leave, take a vacation, take a trip, go somewhere.

01:11:05 That's real.

01:11:05 Because that minute when you come back, there's nothing like that.

01:11:08 I'm back a lot.

01:11:09 I kind of feel like that when I go to Miami sometimes.

01:11:12 Like, I could go for a week and then I'm like, I kind of got to get back home.

01:11:16 Like, I got to leave.

01:11:16 Look at all the people during COVID that left, right?

01:11:19 I'm one of them right here.

01:11:19 Right?

01:11:20 Everybody left.

01:11:21 They went to Florida, Texas, whatever.

01:11:23 Put them to Texas.

01:11:23 And then, yeah.

01:11:25 And then they all come back.

01:11:26 That's why I love New York.

01:11:28 Yeah.

01:11:28 Yep.

01:11:28 Let's work on these taxes.

01:11:29 They know there's no other place.

01:11:30 That's a perfect, what Richie said is perfect.

01:11:32 Let's work on these taxes, man.

01:11:34 Everybody will come right back.

01:11:36 They're high in California.

01:11:38 They are.

01:11:38 I'm sure.

01:11:39 Trust me.

01:11:39 They will come right back and we work on these taxes.

01:11:41 Well, the candidates that are running for mayor, they want to increase taxes over and over

01:11:47 and over and over again.

01:11:49 That's the wrong attitude.

01:11:50 Because I'm finna move here, so, you know.

01:11:54 You got to.

01:11:54 Yeah.

01:11:55 Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it, love it.

01:11:57 Is that one of your objectives, to lower the very high taxes in New York City?

01:12:00 And, you know, no matter what we went through, from COVID to the migrant crisis, no matter

01:12:08 what we went through, we did not raise taxes and we did not lay off anyone.

01:12:14 And everyone wanted us to, you know, well, you got to raise taxes, you got to lay off

01:12:18 people.

01:12:18 And I said, no, everyone, we want to make sure the city remains an attractive city.

01:12:23 And you're judged in this city by the professionals are bond raiders.

01:12:29 They determined how well you're managing the city to decide if they're going to increase

01:12:33 or decrease your bond and send a message that if we are a good investment, they raised my

01:12:38 bond.

01:12:39 And they leaned into it and stated that, you know, this guy is managing the city through

01:12:43 all sorts of crises.

01:12:45 And because of that, we are a stable investment in the city.

01:12:49 And we're attracting a lot of businesses, a lot of jobs are coming here.

01:12:54 Is that me or you?

01:12:55 Yes.

01:12:57 Sneaker, I would like for you to ask him a question on COVID because I feel like he's

01:13:03 not being acknowledged on COVID a lot.

01:13:06 And I want to break it down a little bit more because I'm not political, like I said, but

01:13:12 Cuomo got 5 million off of COVID, right?

01:13:15 Like, my dad was over here, yeah, my dad was over here putting rubber bands on people's

01:13:20 ears with napkins, talking about this is a mask for y'all to have so y'all can be safe

01:13:25 to begin with.

01:13:27 And he was sleeping in Burrow Hall.

01:13:29 You know what I'm saying?

01:13:30 So my question for you is how do you feel COVID affected New York City?

01:13:36 But I know Sneaker got another question to ask.

01:13:39 That's a great question.

01:13:40 That's just to start off with it, you know what I'm saying?

01:13:42 Well, I think there's a number of things.

01:13:44 A lot of children stayed home and they still never came back to school.

01:13:48 So we have a whole generation that was impacted emotionally through COVID, you know, chronic

01:13:53 absence.

01:13:54 A lot of people went into dark places when they didn't go to work and never returned.

01:14:00 And, you know, no matter how much Andrews talks about it, 15,000 people died in nursing homes.

01:14:09 Come on, man.

01:14:09 People lost their grandparents, their parents, and that's real.

01:14:14 Awful laziness.

01:14:15 Right, right.

01:14:16 Awful laziness.

01:14:17 That's real.

01:14:17 And so it was a real struggle, as Jordan was saying.

01:14:21 I slept in my office throughout that whole time so I could get up early and go to the hospitals

01:14:26 and really encourage my nurses, my doctors, and handing out masks and NYCHA developments

01:14:32 and going, just leading from the front.

01:14:35 Generals don't send their troops into battle and say, how was the war?

01:14:38 They lead them into battle.

01:14:40 That is the type of leadership you need.

01:14:43 You got to lead people into battle so they can believe in, you know, believe in themselves.

01:14:48 And COVID devastated a lot of people.

01:14:51 It's the toughest place in the world.

01:14:52 I was here for the whole pandemic.

01:14:53 How were you?

01:14:54 It was the hardest place to be in during COVID.

01:14:56 Yeah, yeah, for sure.

01:14:56 People would say, people were mind-blowing that I stayed.

01:14:59 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:00 No, it was a tough period.

01:15:02 That's true.

01:15:03 Because when I was in L.A., we still had the canyons that were open.

01:15:06 Like, you could still kind of get fresh air outside.

01:15:10 It's very compact here in New York City.

01:15:13 Yeah, it is.

01:15:13 Yeah, it was different here.

01:15:14 We were ground zero.

01:15:16 Yeah.

01:15:16 You know, we...

01:15:17 Epicenter.

01:15:17 There were morgues where you had bodies lined out outside.

01:15:21 You know, people were losing loved ones.

01:15:25 Never to see them again.

01:15:27 You did?

01:15:28 You lost your dad through COVID?

01:15:29 Wow.

01:15:30 My dad, yeah.

01:15:31 It's a longer story than that.

01:15:33 Yeah.

01:15:33 He had lymphoma, found out right before COVID.

01:15:39 Cured it fully.

01:15:41 Fully, fully cured it.

01:15:43 Got COVID in the past.

01:15:44 Wow.

01:15:45 Wow.

01:15:45 Like, that's something that strikes me the wrong way.

01:15:48 Because it's like, you lost your father.

01:15:50 And other people were able to make millions off of this whole disease that we're dealing with.

01:15:54 Right.

01:15:54 And that bothers me as a human being, as a New Yorker, as someone who's just around.

01:16:00 Yeah, no, that's real.

01:16:01 So, I'm sorry you over here dealing with that, man.

01:16:03 Yeah, right.

01:16:04 Like, that was a whole situation that you had to go through.

01:16:07 Yeah.

01:16:08 Like, when you hear COVID, you think your father's death.

01:16:10 Right, right, right.

01:16:11 I don't want to think about my father's death.

01:16:12 You know what I'm saying?

01:16:13 Right, right.

01:16:14 So, like, for you to have to go through that during that time, everyone's like, oh, I survived COVID.

01:16:19 I did this.

01:16:20 I did that.

01:16:20 It's like, man, you don't even understand what COVID did to me.

01:16:23 You know what I'm saying?

01:16:24 COVID did a lot to me.

01:16:25 COVID did a lot to him.

01:16:26 And he not saying it.

01:16:27 He did a lot to him.

01:16:28 He not saying it.

01:16:29 And other people got $5 million off of COVID, which I'm bothered about.

01:16:35 So, how did he get the money from us?

01:16:37 He wrote a book.

01:16:38 Wrote a book.

01:16:40 This is your hype man right now.

01:16:42 Come on, man.

01:16:43 Hey, I'm here.

01:16:45 I'm here.

01:16:46 Listen, wrote a book.

01:16:47 I can write a book.

01:16:48 I can write a book.

01:16:50 He loves you.

01:16:52 Undoubtedly.

01:16:53 So, what's next for you?

01:16:56 What's next for you, Amber?

01:16:58 What's next career-wise?

01:16:59 What are you doing?

01:17:00 I got a lot of cool stuff coming out.

01:17:02 Okay.

01:17:03 But I'm glad that we did this.

01:17:04 Yes.

01:17:05 We got an opportunity to get to know you as a person.

01:17:08 Yes.

01:17:09 And I'm really proud of you for everything that you overcome.

01:17:14 Mutual admiration.

01:17:15 Yeah.

01:17:16 I'm very happy about that.

01:17:18 100%.

01:17:19 Thank you, brother, for taking our time, man.

01:17:21 I really appreciate this.

01:17:22 It's one of the coolest interviews you've ever done.

01:17:27 Thanks for what you've done so far and the effort you put into the city.
