Im joined now tonight by the mayor of New York City, mayor eric adams. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Obviously we wanted to come on to talk about immigration and what is happening in the city and we will get to that in just a moment. On this disturbing story about what we learned today, this raid being carried out, this man not only threatened President Biden allegedly but also Vice President harris, the attorney general, the District Attorney here in manhattan, alvin bragg. Do you feel threats to Public Officials have gotten worse . What do you think is driving that . I think a combination of over proliferation of guns in our country. The Real Mental Health illnesses we are seeing. And just social media. I have been stating this over and over. We had a summit in new york to see the impact of social media on our young people but even adults and those threats. You have to really commend the fbi for taking the threats seriously and carrying out a proper investigation. Are you more nervous to be a publicly elected official today . You are always concerned. I have a great detail. Nypd, they know their job very well. We allow them to handle it and do what they say to do and we continue to look at instructions from our Intel Division when we get those threats. They assess them well and make sure things are done properly. New york city is dealing with an unprecedented influx of Tens Of Thousands of people seeking asylum. You say it is going to cost about 12 billion to care for them the next three years and said you need federal help. Do you think you are going to get it . Yes, i do. I believe we have dhs team on the ground here now and there is something that our team, Deputy Mayors and deputy mayor in charge of this initiative. We have been walking through, Business Leaders walking through, a congressional delegation, to see exactly what is taking place. We were successful to keep this from spilling on to our streets for over a year. What you saw in front of the Roosevelt Hotel was that it was just overwhelmed and the dam finally burst. What you are referencing for people who dont know is just recently the system clearly broke down. 200 migrants were sleeping outside on the sidewalk of the Roosevelt Hotel just around the corner from Grand Central station. Who was responsible for that image, seeing those people sleeping on the sidewalks . I am the mayor of the city of new york. I take responsibility for anything that happens in this city. It is my obligation to make sure that new yorkers are safe. We received an overwhelming number of individuals and already reached the maximum of how many people we could house and for that period of time could not place people in the Roosevelt Hotel. We still have to abide by restrictions for occupancy, for safety. We were able to find them temporary shelter in another location. We cannot state this wont happen again. We received over 90,000 people in our city and i have stated for sometime we need help. This is a National Crisis and should be handled by National Resources and policies. What do you say to white house officials who see your calls for federal help. Yes they are the dhs team and going to report back to secretary mayorkas. The white house is saying new york already has gotten money from the federal government, more than any other city that is not a border city. What do you say when they say you are getting more help than other places. You started off the broadcast, the number is 12 billion over three years. We already spent over A Billion Dollars already. And to state that a hundred Million Dollars could address a national 12 billion problem, were saying we need more and we need others. We need a strategy at the border. We need to allow these migrants, Asylum Seekers to do what i believe is the most american thing to do and that is to work. What is more antiamerican than not being able to work . Has the white house responded when you say you want them to speed up work permits for them to be able to begin work sng which are already shorter than other periods. Has the white house said anything to you on that . There is such a backlog of cases that the spirit, the energy that within six months people would be able to get a job is not a reality. Some will probably have to wait from a year to a year and a half. That is a long time for new yorkers to have to carry this burden. That is part of the ongoing conversation were having with the white house right now. That is the hope we have with the dhs team here and my congressional delegation and other elected officials, i take my hat off to the governor of massachusetts who also stated the same thing. There must be a real strategy to deal with the crisis. You are asking the federal government to declare a state of emergency. So far they have not done so. What is your relationship with President Biden at this moment . I think i have a great relationship with the president and with my colleagues across the country. We have to separate a disagreement on a topic with do we have a relationship. There are many issues were facing not only in this city but this country. If there is a place i disagree i am going to be honest about it. We certainly have seen that. Have you spoken to him about these specific asks that you have . Yes we have. When was the last time you guys talked . Last year when he was here. I spoke with the white house staff and teams and we sent three of the mayors from houston, los angeles, we sent them to sit down and we want to speak with the president on this. You havent spoken to him in 2023 frmth no i have not. I spoke with authorities and our team has been communicating with the white house as well. Do you support his reelection bid . Yes i did. I made that clear before. I believe he is moving the country in the right direction and we need to continue to move in the right direction. I can separate what i believe an issue we disagree on how we are addressing it with what i believe over all is needed for this country. My number one obligation is the people in the city of new york. Speaking of campaigns in early july the manhattan District Attorney indicted six people including a former new York Police Department officer in this Straw Donor Scheme that sent donations to your campaign for mayor in 2021. Neither you nor anyone in your campaign has been accused of wrongdoing i should note but were you aware of any of that or what is your response to those charges . No, not aware at all. I follow one rule. Follow the rules. The District Attorney is conducting his investigation. It was clear that our campaign had no participation in that and it is just an unfortunate situation. I have a lot of faith in the das office, da brag. He is going to follow this to conclusion. You are not worried anyone from your team would be ensnared or have legal i think they laid out exactly what happened than thorough investigation made a determination that our team had nothing to do with it. Okay. It has been a challenging summer here in new york. I mean, not only what is happening with migrants. The situation at rikers jail has gotten so bad federal authorities are considering taking it over. I know you disagree and dont believe that is necessary. There is also a Law Enforcement investigation into a former member of your administration. When you look at The Big Picture of all of the problems New York City is facing do you feel that you and your administration can adequately handle those issues . You tell me when was a time you didnt have a lot going on in new york. That is true. Your predecessors will say they had a lot on their plate as well. You are dealing with a lot this summer. Just from the last few months i want it. Winners want the ball when the game is on the line. They dont pass the ball. They want the last shot, the last at bat. They want to kick the field goal. Look at the reality. 99 of the jobs we lost back prednd, decrease in crime, shootings, homicides. We are seeing tourism is up. We have a doublea bond rating in the city of new york. This is the place to be right now. I didnt run for mayor to worry about woe is me. I said i want to be mayor. Why not me . Is it more challenging than you thought . Not at all. You get up every day. You do the best you can. You give it your all. New yorkers know one thing about me. Im up before everyone else and i go to bed after everyone else to make sure the city is operating right. This is the right time for me to be the mayor. With my experience in Law Enforcement, state senator, and not only that a mayor who has gone through a lot can help people who are going through a lot. I want to be mayor of tnew york. I want to ask youbo this bizarre story about a photo you carry in your wallet and you have sken very publicly it is of officer Robert Venable killed in the line of duty in 1987 and you pulled it out after two other officers were killed talking about how meaningful it was. The New York Times did a report saying the photo had been recreated, not actually carried in your wallet for decades. It was created by staff in your office. Your office denied the story and said it had been in your wallet for decades. Can you clear that up . I have the original newsletter produced by the department of the original. The original. So why would i have to reproduce something that i had the original for . The family knew me. Robert was a dear friend. There was a lot of anger attached to that story that allowed a lot of discipline. There isnt much i can do about that. I cant control what people write. No one was instructed by me to do anything with an original photo i had and carried of my friend. This was a dear friend of mine. It was a very painful moment to have it not only recreated but to state i would do Something Like that to someone that i was that close to. So you are saying just, they said the picture was found on google, printed in black and white, and made to look worn. That someone splashed coffee on it. You are saying none of that is true. I say i have the original. The one on google that theyre talking about i have the original. I dont know how clearer i can be. The family was also saying we know eric adams. Eric has been with our family. His daughter january came out and spoke about that after. And his other relatives as well. Mayor eric adams, thank you for being here tonight and answering our questions and of course if you do hear from President Biden on what is the Biggest Issue youre facing right now please let us know. Will do. Thank you for joining us in studio tonight. Ahead, much more on what we were just talking about there at the beginning o the fbi raid where a man allegedly threatening the president shot and killed in the early hours in utah this morning and wildfires are burning out of control in hawaii. At least six people have been killed. The National Guard has been deployed. Thousands of people are evacuating. Well speak to someone still on the ground tonight. Wherever you go. Wherever you stay. All you need is one key. Earn and use rewards across expedia, hotels. Com, and vrbo. Tonight we are learning chilling new details about a deadly confrontation between a man accused of threatening to assassinate President Biden and fbi agents who showed up at his utah home before dawn. Law enforcement Officials SayCraig Robertson was armed to the teeth and facing federal charges for threats not only against the president but also several other prominent democrats, the fbi, prosecutors, who have brought cases against former President Trump. All of this happened this morning and the Big Questions now, what happened when agents moved in to arrest the suspect . And how do the feds tell the difference between bluster and what is a deadly serious to Terror Threat . Lets get answers from cnns senior crime and justice correspondent and cnns National Security analyst. Thank you both for being here. These kinds the fbi killing someone is incredibly rare. Walk us through what happened. They prepare for this and it is very clear they did prepare for this really heavily because they were expecting perhaps to meet some kind of resistance. This really all begins several months ago but heats up on monday when the individual Craig Robertson posts on facebook that the president is coming to utah and that it is time for him to take action and talks about his weapon, talks about what he is going to wear. What happens is the fbi says okay we need to go in and take him down. This is a threat. The president is coming here. He is talking about killing the president. They go into really full action. They devise a plan, they go in. They put the plan together. And then early this morning, you know, while theyre suiting up, putting on all of their gear, getting ready to go after him the president is planning his trip to utah, they go in. Its dark out early in the morning, 6 00 a. M. Essentially to take him off the street. Then there is a confrontation with the fbi. They come to the house. They have a conversation with him. Something happens. Im told he pulled out a handgun and that is when the fbi shot and killed him he had been making threats against not just President Biden but several other officials as well. He referreto one of his guns i read in the complaint a democrat eradicator. It wasnt just the post recent days. He has been making these for months. For months. The fbi gets alerted to him back in march because he is posting messages about Killing Alvin Bragg the manhattan da who is prosecuting donald trump. Clearly, he is a trump supporter. The fbi knows this. They go to his house. They talk to him. Basically saying were on to you. What are you doing . Whats going on . They want to make sure he is not coming to new york to take action. There is no evidence he ever comes here but they were so worried they went there. Then what he does is he continues to post Facebook Messages threatening the fbi agents who came to him. Threatening others. Continuing to threaten the president. He also made threats toward the Vice President , the governor of california, gavin newsom, the attorney general, so this has been going on for months and months. What changes everything is he makes this post about killing the president while he is in utah. So that changed everything. Just hours before biden w
