Interview with Mayor Eric Adams on New York City Challenges and Personal Indictment

Published | Video Starts at 38:52

You don't seem to be letting it distract you. No. You know, your success is not what you have done, but what you have overcome. I overcome Covid in this city, brought us back overcome. 220,000 migrants in the city, asylum seekers, without any support from the federal government that we should have received. Overcome an indictment, but still doing the job, you know, because every day people overcome it. How do I surrender when a mother lost her child to gun violence? Yes. (38:52–39:04)
