I know you know that, but there's just so much money right now that you've got. Rosenberg: No, again, they did deserve a raise and I'm glad you did do that, actually deserve more. All of these things that happen in our city do not happen automatically and we cannot treat our blue collar workers unfairly and just ignore the fact that they're making sure the city continues to run every day.

These are the men and women who are food service workers in the schools, school crossing guards. And that matches how we look after the DC 37 workers as well, our largest municipal union. And you can't have police officers on the front line and then they have to go home and worry about how do they put food on the table. I know what it takes to run a city, and one of the most important things is to make sure your city is safe. Mayor Adams: Well, the name of the game is focus. Pat Russo, all the cops said, 'Hey, tell the mayor thank you very much and keep fighting AOC because you are right on this one.' And like most things, she's wrong again. I will say that I didn't see AOC there last night, but you've been having a pretty public battle with her, dating back to last week when she was all over you because you had the nerve to give the cops a raise. One of the reasons why you get along so well with my son Gabriel, you've got dyslexia, he's got dyspraxia and you guys seem to really bond on a level about that. Look, everybody knows - who's friendly with you, like me and others that - you've got dyslexia. And there's a number of organizations this week that I attended their events that are really looking into dyslexia and other childhood learning disabilities, and I wanted to make sure I supported them and I had a few to attend throughout the week. I went to the Literacy Gala, where they're raising a great deal of money for childhood literacy. Had a lot going on and wasn't able to get there, but it brings a lot of money to the city. Hey, did you go to the MetLife Gala last night? I didn't see you there. And again, he passed away yesterday at the age of 84.

We played about two or three songs this morning. And that was great music for a time where I think music is no longer enjoyable. But listen, Gordon Lightfoot was, it's all about moving in the right direction. And if you can read my mind, you realize how big this city is. Mayor Eric Adams: It's a big city, brother, big city. With that said, here he is, the mayor of New York City, my friend Eric Adams, back for the first time in about a month. And of course the voice before that you heard was Governor Kathy Hochul talking about the new budget. Sid Rosenberg: The great Gordon Lightfoot, “If You Could Read My Mind.” He passed away yesterday at the age of 84-years-old.
