Why Trump Reportedly Offered NYC Mayor Eric Adams A Job
President Trump reportedly offered New York City Mayor Eric Adams a job in his administration to help give Andrew Cuomo a better chance of beating Zohran Mamdani.
- 10 minutes
An anonymous source who spoke to Politico
has indicated that New York
City Mayor Eric Adams has been offered
a job in the Trump administration
as long as he drops out of the race
for reelection as New York City mayor,
[00:00:17]
which would, of course,
help solidify the percentage of voters
that would back Andrew Cuomo.
Because, like, let's keep it real.
If you're supporting Eric Adams,
you're not going to turn around
and support Mamdani, right.
[00:00:33]
The one who's further to the left.
You're likely to back
Andrew Cuomo instead.
And it looks like this was
the plan all along.
So again, that would leave
just three candidates.
Zoran Mamdani, who up until this moment
really did seem poised to win,
[00:00:50]
Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
Now, Politico reported
that Adams's position would be, of course,
in the US Department
of Housing and Urban Development,
which, Okay, just note to all
administrations in the future you can
[00:01:07]
appoint people to HUD who aren't black.
Like, I feel like there's this weird trend
going on and it's it makes me a little
uncomfortable, to be honest with you.
But look, that's that's an
entirely different tangent.
The fact that Democrats are willing to
[00:01:22]
work with Donald Trump in order to destroy
Zoran Mamdani's chances at winning
the mayoral race in New York City,
tells you everything you need to know
about corporate Democrats.
This is what corporate Democrats are.
Guys, I need you to really take it in.
[00:01:38]
And when I say take it in,
I'm not saying take it in.
Be upset about it now and then.
When it comes time to vote, you end
up supporting the Democrats anyway.
Yeah, I'm saying it. Okay.
Democrats need to learn a lesson.
If you're not going to do right
by the American people, if you're going to
[00:01:55]
go against the will of Democratic voters,
there will be consequences.
Unless they get that message across,
they're never going to change.
So anyway, again, Eric Adams,
a Democrat, according to Politico,
has been offered a job in the Trump
administration specifically to get him
[00:02:13]
to drop out of the mayoral race.
So a white House official
would neither confirm nor deny that Trump
advisors are talking with Adams.
Adams did not directly deny meeting
with Trump, probably because he did
during his recent jaunt to Florida, and he
notably did not give a definitive no.
[00:02:33]
When asked if he plans
to drop out of the race for mayor.
Adams and Trump have a history together,
as some of you may already know.
So the Biden Justice Department hit Eric
Adams with a slew of corruption charges.
So Adams went out of his way
to win Trump's favor in order to maybe get
[00:02:53]
a pardon, maybe get the charges dropped
if he, you know, won the presidential
election, which, of course he did.
So the charm offensive absolutely worked.
And the Trump administration
has let Adams off the hook.
Now in August.
Andrew Cuomo reportedly told donors at a
private fundraiser that given a three way
[00:03:12]
competition between himself and Mamdani,
Trump would intervene to help him out.
Are you not proud, Cuomo?
Like working with Daddy Trump
in order to increase your chances
of winning the mayoral race?
I mean, this is like a disgraced
former governor of New York, got a bunch
[00:03:30]
of seniors killed in nursing homes,
has a bunch of credible sexual harassment
and assault allegations lodged
against him, and this guy feels entitled
to be the leader of New York City.
What a freaking joke.
But anyway, there's more.
[00:03:46]
I heard Chris Cuomo gets really upset
when people attack his his brother,
his big brother, his disgusting, entitled,
pathetic, you know, politician brother.
Now, Cuomo said again,
this is back in August.
I think we can minimize sleaze vote
because he'll never be
[00:04:04]
a serious candidate and Trump himself
as well as top Republicans
will say the goal is to stop Mamdani.
And you'll be wasting your vote on Sliwka.
So I feel good about that.
Of course you feel good about that now.
[00:04:21]
During a different meeting with New York
City business leaders, Cuomo reportedly
stated, quote, I know personally Trump
doesn't want to fight with me personally.
I don't want to fight with him. Right.
[00:04:37]
So I don't think he's going to be eager
to create a conflict with us
because you guys are the same.
Really.
Like when we talk about the Uniparty,
this is a mask off moment
proving that the Uniparty exists.
All the theater about how these guys
hate Trump and oh, MAGA is so terrible.
[00:04:55]
When push comes to shove,
it's all theater and they will work
together to destroy a candidate
who, you know, actually wants to offer
something different to constituents,
who wants to, you know,
stay in the United States,
stay in New York City and represent what's
in the best interests of his constituents.
[00:05:14]
Rather than travel to foreign countries
or ingratiate himself
with the Israeli government as a mayor.
By the way, like the fact that all
of the mayoral candidates were asked
where they would travel for their first,
you know, out of country trip after
[00:05:31]
winning the election is pretty pathetic.
It really is.
And the fact that most of them
said Israel is even more pathetic.
We're talking about the mayor anyway.
So today, the New York Times reported
that the Trump administration is also
[00:05:46]
considering a federal position for Iowa.
Wow. What a surprise.
Apparently, they believe that Cuomo
has the best odds of beating Mamdani
in a one on one general election.
So Cuomo is still polling far behind
Mamdani in the general election,
[00:06:05]
but some surveys suggest he could defeat
Mamdani head to head thanks to support
from Republican and Independent voters.
But Trump's intervention in this race
could be very risky.
So New York City is deeply Democratic,
making Trump's brand a political liability
[00:06:24]
for someone like Cuomo, who honestly,
isn't really that popular to begin with.
And that's what Mamdani is hoping for
and capitalizing on.
So here's what he wrote
just a few hours ago.
Today's news confirms it.
Cuomo is Trump's choice for mayor.
[00:06:42]
The white House is considering jobs
for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field.
New Yorkers are sick of corrupt
politics and backroom deals.
No matter who is running, we will
deliver a better future on November 4th.
Speaking of which, I want to correct
some of my previous statements
[00:07:01]
about Zoran Mamdani because he has
clarified some of his positions
that I was a little bit concerned about.
Which, by the way, doesn't even matter.
I don't live in New York City.
All that matters here is what the people
of New York City want in a mayor.
Okay, so let me be clear about that.
But previously I had said that I was
like a little bit hesitant
[00:07:17]
about Mamdani's views on policing
because he used to be a hardcore defund
the police type of person type of guy.
I also used to preach about how I favored,
you know,
defund the police type policies.
But obviously I have changed my mind.
[00:07:33]
And in a new New York Times piece,
they delve into the fact
that Mamdani has also changed his mind.
He doesn't want to lower the number
of NYPD officers, but he does want to add
mental health professionals
who would respond to certain calls, which
[00:07:52]
I think is a really, really good idea.
So I just want to, you know,
clear the record on that, because I don't
want anyone to be misinformed about
where he currently stands on that matter.
And honestly, the fact
that he is focusing on the cost of living,
[00:08:08]
he has the right priorities.
He wants to stay in New York City
and focus on the people of New York City.
He is the best candidate.
I mean, he was a joke.
Let's just keep it real.
And Andrew Cuomo is an embarrassment.
An embarrassment to New Yorkers.
So I don't think that he should, you know,
be the next leader of New York City.
[00:08:26]
But speaking of corrupt politics and
backroom deals, sludge just reported on
who's donating to Fix the City, which is
the number one pro Andrew Cuomo superPAC.
So last month,
donations to Fix the City picked up,
[00:08:42]
with the superPAC receiving nearly $1.3
million in one week from a trio of donors.
On August 21st, the PAC received another
$500,000 from billionaire William Lauder,
[00:08:58]
an heir of the cosmetics company
Estee Lauder and its board chair.
So wealthy people want Cuomo.
They don't want Mamdani.
On August 20th, the PAC received
another $500,000 from John B Hess,
[00:09:13]
the former chairman and CEO
of oil and gas company Hess Corporation.
Similarly bringing his total given
to $1 million, and in August,
Fix the City received another $100,000
from Walmart heiress Alice Walton,
[00:09:29]
a conservative donor.
The month before, it received $300,000
from hedge fund CEO David Rosen
of Rubric Capital.
So, all you need to do is take a good,
hard look at who's supporting Andrew
[00:09:45]
Cuomo, what their priorities are.
And I got news for you.
Their priorities are not what's in the
best interests of ordinary New Yorkers.
So we'll see how this develops.
But this is what corporate Democrats do.
They would much rather work with,
you know, who they consider Satan himself,
[00:10:04]
Donald Trump, than allow someone
to the left of them to win a mayoral race?
And I find that pretty gross.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets its wings.
Totally not true, but it does
keep you updated on our live shows.
