Summary

Dr. Phil sits down with Hizzoner at the mayor’s historic residence, Gracie Mansion. The conversation covers critical topics, including Mayor Adams’ indictment, immigration challenges, and his efforts to address homelessness. In a candid exchange, McGraw asks Adams, “You’ve been indicted as a sitting mayor by a grand jury. Why do you think that happened?” Mayor Adams, replies that he believes it stems from him being vocal “during the migrants and asylum seekers issue.” “The only consolation to this,” Adams continues, “is that mommy’s not alive. I would not want my mother to watch me go through this.”
