Neville Bushell: Mr. Mayor you are live. Mayor Eric Adams: Hey how are you, you know, and I'm glad you said that about the city because this is the greatest city on the globe. There's no other city like it and with all of the challenges of running [a] city of this magnitude, it is great being the mayor of it. Bushell: And you are doing a fantastic job as far as we are concerned. Sam Clarke: Yes, yes. Mr. Mayor. Mayor Adams: You're a smart man. Bushell: And we've been following you from God knows how long. You know, so we know that you're a good man and you love the city and you love your people. And we expect, despite the fact of the trials and tribulations, that you got to stand there and fight like hell to keep your job, because… Go ahead. Mayor Adams: And you said something that's so important, that I'm constantly reminding people of. As I stood at the African burial ground last week, trials and tribulation is really part of our narrative, and how we overcame trials and tribulations through our lives, really fortifies to be able to really function in trials and tribulations while they're taking place. Cause we've never been a people who threw up our hands and said, well, we just surrender. No, we've been just the opposite, and the triumph of the human spirit statue is a reflection of how we endure difficult times.
