00:00And now a message from the office of Mayor Eric Adams.
00:03Hi. I'm one of Eric Adams' staffers,
00:05and I just wanted you to hear from me personally
00:08to clear my name and the mayor's,
00:09who is a morally and ethically perfect man and leader.
00:13Did Mayor Adams leave $10,000 cash inside my drawer
00:16to pay for an international business class flight
00:17on Turkish Airlines?
00:18Yes.
00:19Is he guilty of bribery, conspiracy, fraud,
00:22and soliciting illegal foreign campaign donations?
00:25Does the Q train run on Saturdays?
00:27Absolutely not.
00:28People, and I don't want to say who,
00:30the United States Southern District Court of New York,
00:33are saying that Mayor Adams took various bribes
00:35from the Turkish government.
00:37What would those bribes even serve?
00:39Helping a Turkish consulate skirt some building codes?
00:42Yeah, probably.
00:43I think they wanted a hookah lounge in the lobby.
00:46Who doesn't?
00:47Get all of our staffers Turkish hair transplants?
00:49Sure, yeah.
00:50Everyone's tired of looking at ugly bald guys.
00:52Can you blame us?
00:53So we had to take a little Turkish delight to do it.
00:56Isn't it worth it to have less pre-K funding,
00:58a smaller public library budget,
01:00and increased youth homelessness?
01:01Okay, these are the bad things.
01:03Who put this in the prompter?
01:06Okay, can someone tell me something good he did?
01:09Oh, okay.
01:13This is blank.
01:18Now don't forget,
01:19Eric Adams has made so many firsts as New York City Mayor.
01:22Like being the first mayor to ever be indicted
01:23while in office.
01:24Pretty cool, huh?
01:25Plus, he's the first mayor to actually live in...
01:30He does not live in New Jersey.
01:33He lives in New York.
01:34I mean, have you seen the photos
01:35of the mayor's beautiful and real apartment in Bed-Stuy?
01:38Yes.
01:40And he's probably the first to stay
01:41at the St. Regis Istanbul in the Bentley Suite.
01:45Can we cut that actually?
01:46No.
01:47Okay, okay.
01:48Well, as Mayor Adams has said,
01:51everyone knows that New York City
01:53is the Istanbul of America.
01:55Everyone knows that New York City
01:58is the Istanbul of America.
02:00Is the keys of America.
02:02Is the soul of America.
02:03We are the Tel Aviv of America.
02:05Shit.
02:06Can I just be real with you guys for a second?
02:08Okay, two dozen people connected to Eric Adams
02:10are involved with open investigations, all right?
02:12The school's chancellor and the police commissioner
02:13have resigned after having their phones seized.
02:16I'm the one who texted,
02:18delete all texts about turkey trip.
02:19And the mayor responded, always do.
02:22That was me, okay?
02:24I didn't know you could access texts
02:25after deleting them.
02:27I don't want to go to jail.
02:29Mayor Adams has failed to close Rikers.
02:31I'm not going to survive, all right?
02:33If you're watching this,
02:34this will probably be my last message as a free citizen.
02:37When I texted Mayor Adams that I got him
02:39a turkey club from the bodega,
02:42I meant that I had secured Turkish funds
02:44from Dr. Mehmet Oz.
02:45Yeah, that one.
02:46I gotta go.
02:47Suri, how to delete all texts.
02:50And book me a flight on Turkish Airlines.
02:53This is still blank.
