Ain't happening. So the fact is the migrants have gotten way too much. I'm the mayor of our people, the homeless, the destitute, the emotionally disturbed, the veterans. You know, In this recent bloated $118 billion budget, you know what the city council did with Eric Adams, Adrian Adams and Justin Brannon, who is the financial Chairman? They gave 55 million more dollars to migrants and only 4 million to veterans. Yet on Veterans Day, we love our Veterans Memorial Day, July 4, Flag Day. Did they even know until life that when flag day is June 14th, you think any of these candidates know because they weren't flying American flags on June 14? (23:33–23:50)
