Summary

What does it really take to keep America’s biggest city from falling into chaos? Dr. Phil sits down with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry for a no-holds-barred conversation about juvenile gangs, violent crime, and a justice system that’s letting criminals walk free. But it doesn’t stop there — they tackle the disturbing rise in antisemitism, from attacks on Jewish residents to hate-filled rhetoric on college campuses. With over 90,000 ghost cars and 20,000 illegal guns taken off the streets, this is a battle to save the soul of a city. Mayor Adams says, “This is Gotham… we need to be Batman.” Because if New York falls, what happens to the rest of the country?
