Transcript

00:00That's my history.

00:03Was the president wrong when he said yesterday, Eric Adams is a great guy, I helped him out.

00:09Was he wrong when he said he helped you out?

00:11Well, go back on the campaign trail.

00:12First of all, I never met President Trump prior to him running for office.

00:17We need to be clear of that.

00:18Almost 60 years of my life, I never met him.

00:22On the campaign trail, he was clear.

00:24What they're doing to Eric Adams is wrong.

00:27Now, I don't know about you, but if you were facing 33 years in prison for doing something

00:32that was not wrong, and if someone said what they're doing to you is wrong, my mother said

00:39thank you to those who speak on your behalf.

00:42And so I thank him for pointing out that I was targeted for fighting for the city of New

00:48York, and I thank him for doing that.

00:50Anything else, you have to go to Washington, D.C., and you have to speak to the president,

00:54because I'm just the mayor of the city of New York.
