DR. PHIL PRIMETIME SET TO AIR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS ONLY ON MERIT TV™

Adams Talks of Indictment, Immigration, and Homelessness:
“No American should go through what I’m going through,” says Adams of the indictment.

DALLAS, TX (Dec. 12, 2024) – “Dr. Phil Primetime,” hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw, will air an exclusive interview with New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday, December 16 at 8 PM ET only on Dr. Phil’s Merit TV™ — the broadcast cable, streaming, FAST, and free app TV network founded by McGraw earlier this year. 

 The interview recorded Friday (13) at the mayor’s historic residence, Gracie Mansion, covers critical topics, including Mayor Adams’ indictment, immigration challenges, and his efforts to address homelessness. The discussion follows a Thursday (12) evening tour of the Herald Square and West 4th Street subway stations, where His Honor and McGraw explored the mayor’s PATH initiative, which provides resources to assist homeless and mentally ill individuals in leaving the streets.

 In a candid exchange, McGraw asks Adams, “You’ve been indicted as a sitting mayor by a grand jury. Why do you think that happened?”

 Mayor Adams, replies that he believes it stems from him being vocal “during the migrants and asylum seekers issue.” 

 “The only consolation to this,” Adams continues, “is that mommy’s not alive. I would not want my mother to watch me go through this.” 

 Dr. Phil and Mayor Adams further discuss the indictment in the edited video. https://f.io/2AiWo1Nb (Clip Courtesy Dr. Phil’s Merit TV; Photo credit Eric Anthony/Merit TV)
