Eric Adams' Victory Speech as Projected Mayor of New York City

Published | Video Starts at 23:29

You're seeing the hate that New York has created. And it's time to stop that hate. But let's be clear. Let's be clear here. As I talk to my gang members, January 1st, the conversation stops. You won't shoot up my city. You won't stab young people in school. You won't sell drugs and guns on my street. I am extending an opportunity to get out of gangs and get in a job, get into school, become gainfully employed. We are not going to just talk about safety. (23:29–23:43)
