politics. page of the new york times. adams charged with bribery and fraud, the article says this that the mayor and former police captain who ran on a lawn order platform was consumed by accusations of corruption of years accepting free airline tickets, lavish overseas accommodations and illegal campaign donations from turkey. in return for the gifts and donations, mr. adams used his influence as brooklyn borough president and later as mayor to assist turkish officials with issues they were facing in the city. prosecutors said most notably in obtaining safety clearances from the fire department for a new high-rise turkish consulate building. let's take a look at the front page of the new york post. feds charge mayor for exchanging

favors. here is the u.s. attorney from the district of new york announcing the charges against the mayor. >> we are announcing campaign finance, bribery and asked -- conspiracy charges against eric adams, the mayor of new york city. mayor adams engaged in a long-running conspiracy in which he solicited and knowingly accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign donors and corporations. mayor adams took these contributions even though he knew they were illegal and even though these contributions were attempts by turkish government official and turkish businessmen by influence with them. we also allege the mayor sought well over 100,000 dollars in luxury travel benefits from some of the same foreign actors who arranged any of the illegal campaign contributions. these benefits included free

international business class flights and opulent hotel rooms in foreign cities. the mayor had a duty to disclose these gifts on his annual public disclosure forms so that the public could see who was giving and watched. as we allege, year after year he kept the public in the dark. he told the public he received no if's even though he was secretly being showered with them. we allege adams accepted these knowing they would be gifted to him because of his position and in exchange for some of those improper benefits he intervened in the new york city fire department inspection process for a building owned and operated the turkish government. guest: we are getting your reaction to that news, the first sitting mayor of new york city to be indicted on the front page of the new york times details on those charges, if you'd like to read it it's one count

conspiracy to commit wire fraud and accept bribes, one count of wire fraud, two counts of solicitation of a contribution by foreign national and one count of bribery. here is the new york city mayor eric adams responding to those charges. >> we are not surprised. we expected this. this is not surprising to us at all. the actions that have unfolded over the last 10 months, the leaks, commentaries, the demonizing, this did not surprise us that we reached this day. and i wait to hear our defense before making any judgments. in about 30 minutes you will hear a story of the case that is

in front of us, the story will come from the federal prosecutor and i ask to wait and hear our side to these narratives. from here my attorneys will take care of the case like they take -- like i take care of the city. the day-to-day will not change. i will continue to do the job for 8.3 million new yorkers that i was elected to do. and the 300,000 plus employees other cities government who continue to do their jobs because this is what we do as new yorkers. it is an insult to the people of the city that anyone would say that they won't do their jobs while this case proceeds in the background. we are dedicated public servants and i have been one of them for many years. and they are going to continue

to do their job moving the city forward every day. it's an unfortunate day and it's a painful day. but inside of all of that we will finally rebuild, why for 10 months i have gone through this. and i look forward to defending myself and defending the people of this city. as i have done throughout my entire professional career. >> here is the wall street journal with the headline how eric adams became new york city's first indicted mayor. it says he once declared himself the face of the new democratic party, started his term as new york second black mayor and amid background chatter of how he could play a bigger role in national politics. it was an open question among

some strategists and established democrats how others in the party emulate adams's pragmatic insight and -- plain spoken approach to politics when many invented voters found them too liberal not of touch. stubborn crises of crime and immigration and the past 10 months of the mayor's term have been dominated by inquiries into the conduct of adams and his confidantes. after prosecutors charge the mayor thursday with bribery, fraud and campaign-finance is the big question is will you resign. it says the indictment is left adams fighting for his life, who spent most -- more than two decades with the new york police department before entering the politics of the most populous bureau in the city. >> this is former president trump asked about mayor adams

and the indictment in a conference in new york city yesterday. [video clip] >> i don't know the mayor but he's been fairly generous to me in statements for a while paid i thought you had the merce -- worst mayor ever prior to him. i will say this i watched about a year ago when he talked about how the illegal migrants are hurting our city and the federal government should pay us send we shouldn't have to take them and i said you know what you'll be indicted within a year and i was exactly right. because that's what we have. we have people who use the justice department and the fbi at levels that have never been seen before. so i wish him luck, i don't know anything about what he did, but i told a lot of groups, that group was there. when they mentioned that i said

i came in and he was pretty strong about it. he said this is really unfair to make us carry this burden, we shouldn't be doing this, this is new york city. i just passed recently madison avenue, the roosevelt hotel. nobody was recognized in midtown. he came out strongly against it pretty was right by the way that it's ruining our country per he was honest and i said he will be indicted within a year and that's what happened. i noticed the indictment is very old, it goes back a long time. they went way before the statute of limitations. so i wish him well but i said he will be indicted because he did that. you take a look, that's what they do. these are bad people, they cheat and they do anything necessary. these are bad people and we need an honest justice department, we need an honest fbi. >> that's former president trump yesterday we are taking your

calls, we are having a bit of trouble with our phone lines this morning but please do not give up. continue to call in we will get it fixed. but, to give you a update on the hurricane now tropical storm it's weakened to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 miles per hour. it's now over georgia and it continues to weaken while moving further inland over georgia, about 40 miles east of macon and about 100 miles southeast of atlanta moving north at 30 miles per hour. that was a 5:00 a.m. about two hours ago. and it says it made landfall in northwestern florida. the category four storms as forecasters warned, the enormous system could create a nightmare storm surge and bring dangerous winds and rain across much of the southeastern u.s..

there were at least three storm-related deaths. hurricane center said helene warmed ashore thursday near the mouth of the oslo river in the big bend area in the gulf coast. it had maximum sustained winds estimated at 140 miles per hour. that location was only about 20 miles northwest of where hurricane it value came ashore last year. at nearly the same ferocity that caused widespread damage. they're quite a bit of people reporting power outages we certainly wish them the best. fema administrator ian criswell was a white house briefing yesterday and she was asked about fema's resources and their ability to respond to this storm. >> this is likely to be the 21st billion-dollar weather or climate disaster this year. so do they have the resources on

this disaster on something like this. >> we have absolutely continuing to support the lifesaving response that we need to for this event. i think everybody is aware we went into funding as her disaster relief fund was running low. the reason we do that is to make sure we have enough money for an event just like this. we want everyone to know we have exactly what we need and there are no limitations in our ability to support this disaster. as we continue to go through the recovery bill from all these disasters that also takes personnel and we will continue to work through with states and what they need. and how we can adjudicate those resources but we are seeing an increase and we are seeing a strain on the staff with more of them deployed for longer periods of time helping support the communities recovery. >> also related to the money here, pretty substantial losses projected in terms of the profit-sharing.

and there's no new money in the cr as far as this is concerned. any you'll have to go back for supplemental. >> we put a supplemental request in it doesn't give us supplement at this time. i will give the ability put forth in the president's budget. we are already through inf $9 billion in projects that we have put on hold we cannot reimburse communities for. once we left ins and once the cr goes into effect we will be able to pay those without a supplemental we will be back in ins probably in the january timeframe. host: we certainly wish everybody the best in the path who's already been affected by that storm. we are taking your calls this morning, we have been having some trouble with our phone lines so we apologize for that. do not give up.

the numbers are democrats, 202 --202-748-8000. republicans, 202-748-8001. independents 202-748-8002. give it a try and hello, you are on the air. good morning. is it jerry? caller: yes it is. host: you got through. caller: i kept getting caught offer some reason. host: we are having technical troubles, sorry about that. go right ahead you are on the air. caller: this is jerry from kansas and i was going to ask you anyway democrats one of the going to admit that quite frankly eric adams hasn't done anything that the other -- eric

adams has done. taking money from foreign countries like the bidens have done with china and russia and the clintons have done the same thing. and quite frankly democrats seem to be racist they can get rid of him because he's black and they are a threat to democracy because he was elected by the people so trump is giving you the fact that he was elected and there's no other way to get rid of him then to indict him. so usually the democrats stick together but eric adams crossed the biden administration by saying that they were allowing illegals and president trump said a fact that he be indicted within a year and he is. thank you for taking my call. >> is this doug? are you there? >> good morning, go ahead. caller: ok.

i would like to know why we can't put trump in office if he's more capable and when biden was acting it was maybe two years ago when they said there were floods in california and there wasn't and flu over helicopter and i don't know if you know what's going on on the east coast but i knew what was going on because i lived in california and i watched trucks full of water. host: we are talking about eric adams, the indictment in new york city. you have a comment about that? caller: i just have a comment that biden is just --, his vice president is incompetent and they both need to be under amendment to. host: we will get to open forum later in the program so you can certainly call and during that time. janet. is it janet? caller: yes. host: what's your name?

caller: jeff. host: go right ahead, you are on the air. caller: how are you doing. host: i'm doing ok. caller: i just want to respond to that last caller, the level of ignorance and disinformation from these republicans is astounding. you know the law knows no color, no political persuasion or whatever. eric adams if he is found guilty he will be held accountable just like the republicans lord and master donald trump. so, hunter biden has been investigated by the trump -- biden administration as well as bob menendez and these guys are democrats. they just give up the kool-aid and they worship a criminal, a

known sexual predator, a draft dodger and cult leader and these people are mentally disturbed. they are just mentally disturbed. host: looks like we lost that one. let's try. hello, you are on the air. caller: good morning this is peter from seattle washington. i think the mayor should hire clarence thomas as an attorney there in the same boat. that's all i wanted to say. >> let's try this one, is it carol? caller: hello. are you there? >> is the c-span? >> you are on washington journal, good morning. caller: this is carol. host: go right ahead.

what did you want to say about the indictment against mayor adams? caller: mayor adams did no more than what trump did, i don't know why they're resting trump or any opinions. he's not the president of the right -- asking trump or any opinions paid their always asking him like he's an authority on something. and he is nothing for it he is a criminal. trump is a criminal. it shows it in new york. he did more than what this guy did and is getting away with it. host: carol, this is on x from andrew from punch bowl news who says -- who quotescmer, senator chuck schumer of new york saying this, no one i above the law including the mayor of new york city. the charges are serious and the legal process should now py out immediately and ir. and this is the statement from

hakeem jeffries omhe house minority lear,he indictment of a sitting mayor is aerious and sober moment for new york city. like every other new yorker he is entitled to the resumption of innocence. that principles ntral to the administration of justice in the united states arica. a jerry of the mayors peers will now evaluate the charges in the inctnt and ultimately render a determination. in the meantime i pray for the well-being of our great city. betty. hello? what's your name? betty. >> go right ahead, what's your comment on mayor adams indictment. >> what i think is they need to get the democrats in the senate

and this country will come back to like trump says, make it great again. people are hurting and all and they go out, it's not surprising when they went after him. anything you say, and we have the right, i was born american and i'm always going to be an american. and they don't have the right to tell us what to do. where the ones who put them into office they're supposed to be doing for us, not for everybody else. don't do nothing for us. >> yesterday at the white house briefing, the press secretary was asked about the indictment of the new york city mayor. >> the democratic mayor of new

york city eric adams has been charged with wire fraud and using campaign funds from a foreign government. does the president think he should resign. >> numb not on a particular ongoing matter i will at the doj handle that. >> matt in missouri, are you there? caller: how are you doing. host: i'm doing ok. caller: a few callers back a woman called in and started ragging on biden and said we are talking -- you said we are talking about adams and you can call later and hit the button and hung up on her. but then two calls later a guy calls and saying all of this about trump and his supporters are called members and he's a sexual -- convicted of a sexual -- first all he's never been convicted of any sex crime. i wish any democrat would show that.

and the same people that fell for the jussie smollett thing of the same people falling for her. we all know it per nothings can happen. he's can get his money back. it's just can it take two years to do it. you can walk into a courtroom and say he raped me and get $90 million paid it doesn't work like that. there is no evidence. she doesn't have any memory of it other than -- host: are we talking about a different case? if you don't mind getting back to the eric adams we are to do that for the first half-hour of the program. caller: now that i got that out about the call thing. why hasn't anybody been said about we know that biden has over $30 million from china, four years ago exactly biden stat on the stage saying my family never gets any money from china. i don't know any of my sons

business partners. now they have the laptop -- host: there is a house committee on or a subcommittee on the -- i guess those allegations. if anything happens that will definite show up here on c-span. tricia. caller: yes. host: go right ahead. caller: good morning. host: yes good morning, go right ahead. caller: thank you. i'm wondering why everyone is evading this topic about -- i'm wondering why there evading the topic about eric adams. host: go ahead what did you want to say about it? caller: he's been, he hasn't been convicted yet but just like

represented schumer said he is innocent until proven guilty. our former president been found guilty of numerous charges and nothing still has happened yet. so i'm not understanding why everyone's debating the point they keep bringing up trump like he is a god and he's above the law but he's not. thank you. >> jan in pennsylvania. caller: i wanted to say it doesn't make a difference if it's a republican or democrat, those politicians they know the rules and they know the law. they know what they're supposed to do and what they can do as far as campaign money and so forth. i don't care what party it is. if they break the law and they are found guilty by court then you are guilty. and just like someone they shouldn't be allowed to run for

president found guilty and all that. so i don't care whether -- what your race is or religion is, what your party affiliation is. if you break the law and they know the law. a lot of those people have a legal background. so if you are doing something there and you break the law, yes whoever you are you are found guilty. then yes you should step down from politics. i don't care what party because they try to have one set of rulings just like for trump, but he's been doing things for many years. but all the things he does and has done and then they say oh it should just be swept under the rug and whatever. if they treat everybody, both parties when they break the law and are found guilty the same and make him leave politics

completely, they can run again for office. that would be the right thing to do. host: here is democratic new york congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez commenting before the indictment came out. [video clip] >> right now i think this is squarely about mayor adam's ability to govern new york city and for the new york city governance needs to be fully staffed to serve the people of new york city and frankly under this constant stream of scandals i do not know if the city will be able to even for all these resignations and vacancies at this point. so it is a very unfortunate time. we do not want to see this happening in our city unfortunately it is and i think so we can continue to staff the administration of the city it would be best for mayor adams to step down. >> we are taking your calls, this is steve in massachusetts.

>> good morning. i just wanted to say really think the doj, our country is turning into russia running around in their legalizing everything that's going on and they choose and they pick who they attack with pelosi's husband who just sold $1 million worth of stock the day before visa got into trouble. that seemed kind of odd. political prisoners which is going on in this country and were turning into a third world with the assassination attempt of donald trump, nothing to see there, nothing going on. the bidens, nothing really going on there. they pick and choose who they are going to attack, their political opponents and it goes on and on. it will come out whether or not eric adams took rooms and had flights and that will come out but to have the running around

attacking people politically which is that is what it looks like to me, is a serious problem and people have to worry whether or not they hate america or than a hate donald trump. thank you. host: we will switch over to open forum if there's anything else you would like ttalk about you can certainlyiscuss this topic of the indictment of mayor adams or anything else that might be on your mind, policy, of the campaign, the numbers are on yr screen and it's 202-748-8000 free democrats, 2-748-8001 for republicans paid independents 202-748-8002. l's talk to joseph in maryland. hello, good morning. >> good morning and thank you for taking my calls. i want to say this. i came into thewe aspire to be .

now, seriously, america the world is watching. it reminded me of ere i came from. . this is the same thing we keep seeing why we should wait until someone have their opinion thewe can go after what the person has done. this is known ahead of time what these people are doing. now, it shows they said something democrats don't like to hear from their side and they are going after him. we saw this same thing from cuomo. why only democrats? it doesn't matter if it is

democrat or republican. we should apply the law at the right time. we shouldn't wait until things are happening and then go after them. this is just harassment. we are going after these people for a reason, because they oppose. convincing people not to talk or say their mind. we should not let it go that way. that is my opinion, seriously. with the election coming, people should take out their voice and express this. in the country where i came from, we can see it happening every day. the only thing different here is you cannot arrest someone and put them in jail. without any reason. it is just the same thing. i don't want to be in the same

thing -- the same thing in a different place. host: we got that point, joseph. stephen and gladstone, micga says, corruption should not be tolerated on either side of the aisle. he should have hisay in court. that was by text. we will talkow to bart in springville, alabama. democrat. good morning. caller: i will say this about the guy talking about the doj picks and choose. when donald trump was in office he had his picks and choose. the doj was a gang. what i will agree with with the guy from maryland, this whole thing is nothing but the same

thing. this is a third world nation now. you got people that is just plain out corrupt for political gain. donald trump should not be a felon. he's running for president. if obama would have done that, everyone would have had him in jail. host: bart, i am happy to announce our phone lines are back up to normal. i appreciate your patience this morning. robert in washington, d.c. independent line. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call, c-span. the guy who was talking about trump, biden, $30 million to china. i know the republicans over the

years, putting two and two together, the republicans usually don't like -- i remember when reagan was in office come the air traffic controllers, he opened the doors diplomatic relations with russia. bush broke down and opened doors with china. biden had nothing to do with china at all. it was bush who opened the doors to the u.s. and china. what is little known is bush is who brokered the deal between the u.s. and china. his son opened that dialogue

between the u.s. and china. then, as republicans go on, and i listened, they are not really of topic informed. they call about, say, gas prices. most don't remember in 2004 that gas prices reached five dollars plus per gallon. that was 20 something years ago. they are complaining now but the cost of gas. people don't remember is that is when they added ethanol to the gasoline. so -- host: robert, we will go to lance in austin, texas. republican, good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: good. caller: i would like to bring up the fact of fentanyl and the effect it is having on the youth and younger people in america. it's a big problem.

china has put us in a bad spot. i don't think these people should be treated like they are drug addicts. i think they should be treated as if they are victims. it is the way that they have been able to infiltrate us. china and mexico, they don't have us in their good graces. i don't think enough people are putting concerns to that. it is killing people every day. so many young high schoolers have died from this. there is a good way to regulate it and go about it. i think some at -- some advocatation should be put forth to this. host: can i ask how old you are? caller: i am 32. host: have you seen the impact of fentanyl on people you know, friends and family? caller: every day. several of my close friends have died from fentanyl. i have people who use fentanyl

around me every day. it's giving a false narrative. it's not exactly what the media portrays it to be. not everybody dies from fentanyl. a lot of people who build up a tolerance to it, they are on this every day. they are not dying from it, but it is something they're scared to get off of but would like to. the withdrawals and everything like that, it's a scary thing to go forward with. host: do you carry narcan with you? caller: yes, both the nasal and intravenous shot. you can see people when they have nodded out, overdosed, and stuff like that. it's not happening to people who are every day users. it is happening to people who are taking normal street drugs

-- i say normal, but prescription drugs like xanax that are normal scripts. kids are trying to get a xanax to calm down from the pressures of high school and getting something laced with fentanyl when they are not expecting it to be. that is where a lot of overdoses are happening as opposed to -- host: they are buying the so-called xanax on the street? why are they not getting it from a pharmacy? caller: there is a big halt on the dea with doctors. they put their licenses on the line if they overprescribing. there is only a certain amount of people that they can prescribe. whoever is grandfathered in are the ones seeking that out. when i was in high school, only prescription pills were

available for people anywhere. mexico is sending all of this pressed medication. everything is laced with fentanyl now. i carry test strips to test if fentanyl is in a particular substance. it is like it is in the cheerios. host: lance, appreciate you calling in. doug in rust, texas. caller: how are you doing? host: good. caller: i used to be a republican, but they got to where they wouldn't pursue these matters of corruption in government. democrats -- there are democrats out there that know -- just party and set up what they should be doing. if we don't hurry and turn this around, we ain't going have no country. the border alone is enough reason not to be voting for

kamala harris. trump, he is not somebody i would go out and have a barbecue with, but at least he loves this country, you know. he does what he says he's going to do. you pretty well know what he's done. i think we need to worry about this deficit and turning this world around or we are going to be in trouble. thank you. host: here is john in el paso, texas. republican. caller: yes, good morning. how are you? i am calling from el paso. you know what, it is shameful what happened with the mayor in new york, but there are a lot of other ones doing the same. another person is escobar in el paso who is a state representative doing the same thing. she is getting paid by all of these minority groups and

they're letting all of these migrants come in. she is sponsoring a candidate in el paso who is running for sheriff, who does not have any experience whatsoever, just because he is a constable. that is the only thing he's got for himself. it's very sad. this individual, the same thing. he does illegal arrests and stuff like that, but he's going to get caught. now, he is a constable. he hasn't resigned from his office. that is illegal in the state system. it is like the mayor in new york. they are doing things illegally. veronica and beth o'rourke are doing the same thing. they're pushing their little cronies, having them do all these things, you know. it is very sad with that mayor in new york did, but like i said, there are other people

running these towns, especially here in el paso, you know. the democrats, you know, there is a lot of them out here. it's overwhelming. the republicans are a minority in el paso. veronica is one of them that decided to support individuals like that -- host: let's go to upstate new york, buffalo, democrat, eric, good morning. caller: good morning. how are you doing? i wanted to touch back on something that happened. -- sebastiagorka called me a racist bigot because i talked about immigrants. then i see him on kamala harris. you have to look that up. i'm not going to get into tha but i wanted to respond. i don't have nothing against immigrants. as a matter of fact, god said take care of the least of us. they have no idea these people

in need. everything donald trump does attack the immigrants is ridiculous. he can' even talk about the mayor without throwing immigrants into the picture. so, moving forward, republicans, that's not rain, because rain is not yellow. \ host: this is gail in liberty hill, texas. caller: yes, hello. host: hi. caller: yeah. i am very, very concerned at what has taken place here in my town, in my area. i'll tell you, this country has been invaded. it's sad, because -- it's

unbelievable how our borders have been wide open. no one cares about who is coming into this country. host: gail, where is liberty hill? how far are you from the border? caller: i am probably -- gosh, probably 200, 300 miles. host: i was going to say that it is ok if you don't know, but go ahead with your comment. caller: i am in central texas. what has happened with our town, i don't recognize it anymore. and the crime that has gone up. the kids are having trouble in school with -- they are

overloaded. it's just overwhelming. the traffic. just everything is overcrowded. everything has changed in this place. we are just overwhelmed and shocked, and it's really, really frightening to think that everyone is ignoring what's happening. i can't believe, i can't believe how this place has changed. we are all in shock. we just look around and think, why are they doing this? you know, i see -- it is fearful. i used to be able to leave my house unlocked. now, i have to lock my house during the day.

when i go shopping i have to look around to see when i go to go to my vehicle. it's changed. it's changed. no one is doing anything about it. you know, my grandson at school gets bullied. it's -- it's changed. it's changed. no one -- we are devastated. you know, it's not just here. when i talk to my friends in other states and stuff, they are being overwhelmed, too. they see the same thing. they can't believe it. when they go out and they go shopping and stuff, they look around and say, what has happened to our country?

host: let's talk to stephanie in montclair, new jersey, democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. i just -- why does people keep saying that the border is wide open? there is a simple solution to all this. give the money to put in more judges. hello? host: we can hear you, go ahead, stephanie. caller: put in more judges so they can vet people and more agents to catch the illegal -- those coming in illegally. i don't understand why that is so hard to understand. as far as trump is concerned, everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

and people just believe it. he's calling republicans and donald trump are calling people, the democrats, communists. i -- hello. do you know the definition of communism? come on, guys. it just blows my mind that -- and kamala harris, she should do -- fix things now. host: let's talk to larry in saint stephen, minnesota. independent, good morning. caller: howdy. host: howdy. caller: i have been watching over in the middle east. people getting shot like fish in a barrel. we seem to be right behind the people doing it. if these are god's chosen people

-- host: you've got to watch the language, larry. corpus christi, texas. good morning. caller: hello? host: hi, you are on the air. go ahead. caller: i am going to back up with the lady said earlier about migrants coming through texas. i have a hunting lease 10 miles from the rio grande river. i had to give it up because the illegals were trashing our ranch house. just trashing it. the mexican radio stations on the border, they are helping bring the illegals in on their radio programs. that needs to be looked into by the sec. host: when you say the radio

stations, are you saying the ones in mexico? caller: no, right along the rio grande river there are 25 radio stations between brownsville and el paso. every little town has a radio station. the town that i was close to was called roma. host: how are they helping people to cross the border? caller: joe biden and kamala harris sent them a program to read on the air. ok, in spanish, now. i can understand spanish because i have been around mexicans since 1949. i am not a young guy. they are saying, you can come to the border now, and you can come and get into the u.s. anywhere on the texas border.

greg abbott has done a little bit to protect that, but that is what they have been programming to talk to the illegals. monterey, laredo have radio stations programming and talking about the same thing. now, back to my hunting lease. i had to give it up because the property was ransacked by illegals. a nice, concrete ranch house. they have torn the doors off. we had refrigerators. they destroyed the refrigerators. bedding and all of that was throwed out on the porches. i know there was more than 10 people there from the evidence i see. i told the landowners that i can't be a member of the hunting

club this year because of all of the destruction out there on your ranch. he agrees that he cannot lease it out for hunting this year. that's what i'm telling you. host: charles, marengo, ohio, democrat, good morning. caller: good morning. i would like to know if you are to do a program on "from russia with love." it was on msnbc. it told about lev parnas and all of the money that they funneled to the congressman and trump. do a program on -- trump's son-in-law. got $2 billion from the arabs,

saudi arabia. that's about it. thank you very much. host: tony is next in brooklyn, new york, independent. hi, tony. caller: hi, how are you? you do a great job. i have been a c-span viewer for decades. i am in brooklyn. i lived on the border for a long time. i am back in brooklyn the last couple of years. ironically, i live in a neighborhood called little haiti. i just want to report, all of my cats -- i feed straight cats -- all of my cats are accounted for. i joke with my neighbors about it. they are the best people. i do have a comment on adams and the immigration. there is definitely an anti-immigration vibe in new york, which i've never seen before.

you know, what's going on. it actually worked politically. what happened to adams is the case of a couple of things being true. he's definitely sleazy, for sure. that's no doubt about that, but he is also most likely getting payback for speaking out about the bussing of the immigrants. i used go to the roosevelt hotel in midtown. trump actually commented -- and i am an independent. there is no way i'm voting democrat or republican. that hotel, which is ironically owned by the pakistani airline, which is a government-owned airline, has been turned into a shelter. which is fine. i'm all for sheltering people who are refugees from bad

places. but the country is a mess and the people -- the governor of texas shipping immigrants up to the northeast. i remember when i did live in arizona for 13 years, people in the northeast really didn't care. that border has been open for 400 years. the southern border has been wide open. it's about economics. after the pandemic was over, the people come for jobs. i used the hire men down there because i did a lot of construction. small time, but i hired many men and women. it is all about economics. host: this is in "the new york

post." mayor adams' term has been mired with squabbles over migrant influx and border prices. dale in columbus, ohio, democrat. good morning. caller: how are you? host: good. caller: good. that's good. if possible could you read online how many lawsuits donald trump has had over three decades? i googled it. over 4000 lawsuits in the past three decades. it's amazing. i am so amazed about donald trump. he, the american people, obama, harris, anybody, these are american people, but he supports putin. putin cannot do any wrong. when the intelligence said russia was in love, why would i vote for him? i agree with putin, which is the enemy?

when january 6 came and all of those police officers and security people were getting hurt and what have you, and then he comes down and says they were great patriots. i want to know, how in the world can people support him? springfield, ohio, mike dewine said there is no problem down here. these are legal immigrants. him and vance keeps saying, no, they are illegals and we have to do something. he should be behind bars. i just want everyone to have a nice weekend -- host: michigan, independent. caller: mimi, good morning. yesterday i saw so much disinformation on your program that i actually dusted off my computer and went to the fact checker. there was a gentleman who was very upset about unrealized capital gains. it's part of vice president harris' economic program. i look it up.

the park that has been mentioned in the news that i read on the fact checker, i think it was "the washington post," it has been mentioned in the news 80 times on fox news. the part they are not saying, and i heard it last night, they are not saying that your net worth has to be over $100 million. they are talking less than 1% of the population. all of these people who are worried about unrealized capital gains, they are not hearing the whole story. also, i looked into the $25,000 in mortgage help that is being talked about. that is not free money. that is wrapped up in the end of your mortgage. you have to pay the money back when your mortgage is done. they are getting half of the information. people get so excited. the one thing that really bothered me yesterday was people talk about you have to vote in

person, vote in person. i happen to be very disabled now. with great difficulty i would be able to leave my home, but it would be very hard. so, i am voting absentee ballot. the idea that because you are disabled in this country you cannot leave your home, that you should not be able to vote, everyone should vote in person on election day, i think it is un-american. another lady called and said that her parents were still on the voters' role. she called and got them off and all that. again, i looked on the computer and it took me a long time. you can't just call and get someone removed from the voter role. i knew this could not be correct. you can't even stop your mail without going to the post office. you have to have a death certificate. you have to show a death certificate to get someone off of the voter role. i looked that up.

that is in all 50 states. the idea that you can just call up your local whatever and get somebody who has died off of the voter role is not true at all. thank you very c-span has your unfiltered view of government. we're funded by these television companies and more, including charter communication. >> charter is proud to be recognized as one of the best internet providers. we're just getting started. building 100,000 miles of new infrastructure to reach those who need it most. >> charter communications supports c-span as a public service along with these otr television providers, giving you a front row seat to democracy. >> a live shot this evening in warren, michigan, where former president trump will
