Eric Adams. Eric Adams went over to, he went to go visit Biden in DC. He went to go visit Biden in DC. And Biden said, I got something for you, Eric. Let me go ahead and bring y'all up to speed of what's going on over in New York before I head down to Houston. Adams sending out a disheartening message today about the ongoing migrant Cris. Now, the mayor says that he isn't and didn't leave his meeting in DC with any optimism. 

He claims no hope is on the way right now. News Force Melissa Russo in the newsroom with more on those pretty strong comments. Melissa? Well, you know, it's not an easy place for Mayor Adams to be, Natalie, traveling down to Washington for the 10th time yesterday to try to get more aid for migrants and the humanitarian crisis here and then leaving without any good news. Ordinarily, he would be diplomatic and he would say, oh, they're working on it, which is what he said yesterday while he was still in DC. 

But today, the mayor flat out admitted that he left empty handed. I did not leave with optimism. I left with the cold reality that help is not on the way in the immediate future. Mayor Adams went to go and holl at Biden, and Biden gave him a big no no. Don't come over here asking for nothing now after you've been talking tough, we already got the FBI on you. 

Mary Adams. Yeah, he went over to Washington, and first he threw the Biden administration under the bus, and he said, listen, man, it ain't my fault. It's Biden's fault because you were supposed to be standing on business. Remember that? When you said that you was a sanctuary city and you ain't budging and you was holding the people up. But now that we have over 180,000 students on the streets of New York because they're homeless and the shelters is fully built out, yo, in New York, and I've already shown this, migrants stepped out of the new tent city and they jumped back on the bus and they went over to the hotel. 

Eric, Eric, Eric, you can't cut the budget. Billions and billions of dollars in New York and think that Biden is going to save you in an election season. Man, don't you know that Trump is all over by. Trump is on Biden like a wetsuit. Trump is on Biden like clay. Trump is on Biden like Dennis Rodman was all on Shaq. Trump is on Biden like Ron Artes was at the palace for the malice at the palace when Ben Wallace pushed him and then the whole palace attacked him. 

Trump is on Biden like a wet suit. Biden is trying everything in his power. He got federal investigations, civil, criminal, all kind of stuff. Hunter Biden just got indicted again and arrested again. They found drugs inside of the White House. Biden was one of the toughest Democrats that you've ever. I mean, the dude literally wrote the bill that locked up black people. Justifiably or not, that's a completely different conversation. 

But I mean, the dude has pivoted and made a 180, so much so that he had a trans party on the government flow in Washington DC to where they was taking selfies. Biologically born men was hanging out on a White House lawn at a party that Biden was at. This is how much of a fight Biden is in in order to make sure that Kamala Harris is going to be president of the United States one day. 

Because I'm not even sure that he has all of his cognitive functions to make the decisions that he's making on a regular basis. His son is embroiled. And you thought that you was going to walk over to DC and get billions and billions of dollars? I mean, they just came out with a poll that said that they don't like the way that Biden is handling the Ukraine war and the Israel situation. 

And you thought they literally just kicked the can down the road in order to continue to fund the government. And they say right after the new year, we're going to revisit this. The government ain't even fully funded. We are 333-4353, $6 trillion in debt as a nation. And you thought that you becoming a sanctuary city was going to get Biden to give you billions of dollars to throw down into a black hole with no long term solution. 

How did that work out for you? Those words today, a far cry from what Mayor Eric Adams posted last night when he said it had been a very productive day in Washington, DC. He met with New York lawmakers, but also with Biden administration officials. It's a mixed messaging. Biden wouldn't even face this dude. He had to meet with his admin. We have the number one generating tax revenue city in the entire United States of America, New York, with over 8 million people there. 

And Biden wouldn't even sit down with him. They did a photo op with Biden's people. They treat Eric Adams like a side chick. They're treating Adams. Yo, listen, New York, let me bring y'all to the front of the congregation. Yo, Mayor gets no respect over in DC. I know it's a lot of tent cities over in DC. It's literally just blocks away. Anybody that said, I just did a Patreon meetup in DC. 

It was lit. If you go to DC, you're going to see a bunch of homelessness, a bunch of tent cities. There's going to be some protests. Me and Brittany B. Last year, me, Brittany, we both went up to the White House. We was over there viewing it and they had a bunch of crazy people protesting in front of the White House and stuff. But let me tell you something. 

One thing is for show and two things is for certain. You get no love over in Washington DC. You get no love over in DC. They basketball team might be bad, but you not getting no love. They may have changed their name into the Washington commanders, but you not coming up in here. You not getting no love over here in d to the c coming out of city ball regarding this ongoing cris that really has kind of been unfairly dealt to Mayor Adams, but he really needs to find a way to handle this situation. 

Otherwise this is going to be his borderloo moment. We did not walk out from DC with any level of optimism that anything is going to dry faces. Forget all of this. Let's just go straight into the press conference. I want to see what he said directly coming out of his mouth. I don't want no analysts, I want to hear what he said. Because this man with no mustache told this other man with no mustache, I'm going to have you sit over there in a corner, meet with my people, and then get on back over to New York because you're wasting taxpayer dollars flying here. 

As you know, yesterday I was in Washington D. C. To meet with our congressional leaders and to meet with the White House. And I wanted to take the opportunity at the White House celebration for the holiday season because I knew I would have a gathering of lawmakers, mayors from across the country. And I was able to speak with the mayor of Chicago and leaders from Massachusetts and others. 

And we're seeing the same thing across the entire country. Our residents are wary. Our residents are angry. Our residents are seeing the impact of the migrant and asylum seeker issue, how it is taken away from the resources that should go to the day to day services of running the city. We did not walk out from DC with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastic. At what point will any of these mayors, politicians, legislators, governors, representatives, congress members, presidents of the United States of America, city council members, treasurers? I have never and I don't know if they just teach all this in politician school or something that y'all go to when they had his backroom conversation with y'all, at what point will any politician say, I messed up? I should have never said be a sanctuary city. 

I should have advocated for my president to close the border so we wouldn't be doing this. I should have said it. I should have played it differently. I thought that Biden was going to save me, but he ain't going to save me. And so now because of my bad leadership, because let me tell you something, complaints go up. They don't go down because of my bad leadership. And it's okay to say you messed up or you made a mistake and then pivot, hey, listen, we not a sanctuary city no more. 

I thought we was going to get some money. I thought I was going to play it politically and that Biden was going to have my back because he had my back during the pandemic when we tried to get him elected, we got him in office. He never returned a favor. When are you going to have a politician to be honest? Listen, if Trump proved to y'all anything, especially when you having a conversation and you starting to understand that he's literally leading in the polls over Biden right now. 

The best thing that could have ever happened to Trump was that he didn't get elected this previous election. So now you got an opportunity to really see what you got in office, and you got your borders knocked over and everybody is leaving trash over there in Arizona as they continue to cross the border with no border patrol. If anything could have happened at worked in Trump's favor is the fact that y'all really got y'all another Biden administration. 

I'm sorry, another Obama administration, because it showed you that you weren't appreciative. And so what happened was now, you see people, they don't want politicians speak. They don't want you to tell them what it is that they want to hear. They want you to rip the band aid off. Tell me it's gonna hurt, but just tell me how it is that we can get better in the end. 

That's all they want. Inflation out of control. Sanitation is bad. Rats is running around in New York. Migrants is taking up all of the hotel rooms. Visitation from other countries, and tourism is down because we don't want to be standing next to no migrants. Tent cities is bad. Real estate is too high. People can't afford to live. Public transportation is horrible. People still are not a target. And shoplifting, theft is out of control. 

Crime is running rampant. Everything is just going bad all across the board, even to the point to where Cardi B said, I don't want to endorse nobody. And you sitting here talking about it's his fault. They saying it's your fault. And then you acting like a scoring side chick going to visit and knocking on the door. And he's saying that, listen, go and talk to my mama. They treating you like a side chick family. 

They're treating Eric Adams like a side chick, a scoring side chick that just got broke up. And he said that, I'm not leaving my wife. You came unannounced. You was not invited to come to Washington, DC to talk to me. And I'm not giving you no more money. I'm not giving you no more money. You came unannounced, Ama, tell her I'm not here. You still in the basement playing video games. 

Change. It is clear that for the time being of this crisis is going to be carried by the cities. Here in New York City, as you know, we had a very painful November plan that we had to produce, and now we're looking forward or in the direction of how do we address the $7 billion budget deficit that we have to address in January. And these men and women behind me who are service providers in some way or another, they see firsthand of what these cuts are doing and will do. 

This is not the budget we want to pass. The budget we wanted to pass, clearly invested in children and families and those who are in need. We are at an antenna. Invested in children and families and those that are in need is literally a white lie. What he's saying to you is we invested in migrants. We gave them free health care, okay? We gave them places to live in hotel rooms at exorbitant rates. 

And we spent the money continuing to make all of the contractors and the hotel owners all of that. We made them richer. Okay? He's saying that we made sure that we fed them, we clothed them, we gave them shelter, we gave them everything. We even let and advocated for people to open up their homes to these people because we stood on business and said that we're a sanctuary. 

No, you didn't give it to the people. You gave it to people who you didn't even know was coming in there. And then Texas said, oh, okay, you want to be the tough guy? Let me get a bus up there, divert a couple back more to Chicago, send some over to Denver, Atlanta. Here you go. Yeah, you ain't want to get tough on the border. So that's what you mean. 

Translation for the people that's in the streets, for the people to see, students like myself. This is the C student translation of what he's saying situation right now. And it is painful for us. It is painful for the city. It hurt. And I think that you see, that's the same thing that she said. It hurt. It's painful. I know it being reflected in the polls is because our federal government actions have taken a toll on the people of this city. 

We're going to continue to do our job in this administration, but these are extremely challenging times. And as I left Washington, D-C-I did not leave with optimism. I left with the cold reality that help is not on the way in the immediate future. It is going to be at this moment. It's going to be up to New Yorkers and this administration to continue to navigate this challenge that we're facing. 

It's going to be a lot of flower bringing and slow singing over in New York. It's going to be a lot of flower bringing and slow singing over in New York. Y'all ready? Y'all ready? Y'all ready? Eric Adams is telling you. He's warning you. He said, listen, it's going to be rough out here in these streets. Ain't nobody coming to save us. We got to save ourselves. .
