| 0:00.0 | This is CBS Eye on the World with John Bachelor. Here's John Bachelor. |
| 0:11.9 | The mayor of Manhattan and the five boroughs, Eric Adams. The New York Times, in Mexico |
| 0:19.8 | Adams, praised migrants. He also told them to stop coming. The issue of course is migrants |
| 0:25.7 | from the southern border, especially Venezuela's. I welcome Harry Segal of the city, a senior |
| 0:32.6 | editor, and a columnist at the New York Daily News to sort out what we know so far about |
| 0:38.8 | New York City's overwhelming burden of migrants who continue to arrive despite the fact that |

| 1:46.9 | Harry? Can we tell? Good evening to you. Good evening, Jack. Look, Mayor Adams is in |
| 1:55.6 | pretty deep over his head. He's broke president to the world. He's conducting his own diplomacy |
| 2:03.6 | from Mexico and Central America while Anthony Blinken, the secretary of state is also in |
| 2:10.6 | the region. And he's delivering this message to migrants. He's saying to business people, |
| 2:16.0 | come here. It's great to the migrants. Don't come here. You're going to be absolutely |
