On #TheUpdate this Thursday, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa and and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, the two men running to become the next mayor of New York City, offered starkly different visions at their first debate about how to lead the nation's largest city out of the pandemic, improve public safety, and lead the city of nearly 9 million people for more powerful storms driven by climate change. Scientists have temporarily attached a pig's kidney to a human body and watches it begin to work. The feat is a small step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants. And bottlenecks at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have spilled over into a neighborhood where cargo trucks are clogging residential streets. Residents of the Wilmington area just north of the ports have complained that trucks are backed up in the streets at all hours of the day and night.

But Adams was not ready to become a statistic.There was a better option besides medication and shots of insulin:food. Within three months of adopting a plant-based diet,he lost35 pounds, lowered his cholesterol by30 points,restored his vision, and reversed his diabetes.Now he is on a mission to revolutionize the health of not just the borough of Brooklyn, but of African Americans across the country. Armed with the hard science and life stories of those who have transformed their bodies by changing their diet,Adams shares the key steps for a healthy active life.He shows us how to cut down on salt, get more fiber, and substitute beef, chicken, pork, and dairy with delicious plant-based alternatives.He explores the origins of soul food as deeply important to the Black community, but also one rooted in the horrors of slavery-and how it can be reimagined with healthy alternatives.

The New York City Democratic mayoral primary winner will be determined using ranked-choice voting tabulation, CNN projects. Voters in the Big Apple had the option to rank up to five of the 13 candidates in the race. Since no candidate will win a majority of the vote outright, the New York City Board of Elections will tabulate voters' ranked choices to determine the winner. The nominee is expected to be determined by mid-July and is heavily favored to win the general election in November. As of Tuesday night, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia and civil rights attorney Maya Wiley were the top contenders in the initial vote preferences among voters. These results could change once absentee ballots are included and the ranked-choice tabulation is run.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: A groundbreaking report from ProPublica shines a light on how the worlds' richest people are avoiding paying taxes. Meanwhile, leftist teacher Pedro Castillo has a narrow lead in Peru's presidential election, while his right-wing opponent is making wild claims of fraud. And lastly, the United Mine Workers strike is in its third month, and workers on the picket line have weathered physical attacks while the media and Biden Administration stays silent. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Nonprofit investigative outlet Propublica got its hands on the scoop of the year so far, showing us the dirty details of how billionaires hide their wealth and avoid paying taxes. That may sound like a familiar refrain, but the data involved is stuff we've never seen before. Propublica says the massive trove of IRS data was provided to them in a raw, unedited form, and the story out on Tuesday is the product of weeks of careful editing and reporting. The data shows that Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Michael Bloomberg and many other billionaires often pay precisely zero dollars in federal income taxes, despite their massive net worth. Propublica reports that they gleaned this through the massive dump of data, which shows not just tax records but investments, stock trades, gambling winnings and even the results of audits. Put together, it tells a story that we all know: that these people are not paying their fair share. For years, though, that's been an easy truth for many in government to avoid, which is why reporting like this is so vital. Already, it's reignited calls from Elizabeth Warren and other prominent politicians to institute a wealth tax, which would put a tax on any person's total net worth, not just their income. It's almost a given that these billionaires would seek ways to get out of that too. But the fact is right now, they don't even have to try. Peruvian Leftist In Lead for Presidency A huge presidential election is underway in Peru. Voting ended on Sunday, but the margin is razor thin as results continue to filter in. Right now, though, there's good news: the leftist candidate, a teacher named Pedro Castillo, is up by roughly 70,000 votes. His opponent, of course, is crying fraud. Her name is Keiko Fujimori, and she's the daughter of Peru's last right-wing dictator, who is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for his role in civilian massacres. You can see how this race is shaping up already. Analysts told the Guardian that Fujimori's fraud claims were an act of desperation. International observers did not report any irregularities in the election. It's worth noting that Fujimori has been accused of various counts of campaign corruption, similar to her father. Castillo, meanwhile, is the former leader of Peru's teachers union. He's currently the top candidate in the Peru Libre party, which has pretty strong marxist policies that favor widespread resource nationalisation, higher taxes, and import substitution, according to the Guardian. Castillo has also pledged to rewrite the Peruvian constitution in a more equitable way, which the Guardian reports has terrified the country's elite. All these themes should sound familiar by now -- so fingers crossed Castillo becomes the latest big winner for the global left wing. Warrior Met Workers Weather Attacks on Strike We touched on this yesterday, but there's a story in Alabama that deserves a closer look. For the past two months and change, 1100 workers at two coal mines owned by a company called Warrior Met have been on strike, as their union battles a management force that seems prepared to do anything to break them down. The miners are represented by the United Mine Workers, which was forced to make huge concessions when mining companies started to go bankrupt a few years back. But now, as the coal industry has recovered some post pandemic, the workers are still living on a razor's edge. So they did what organized labor has done for centuries: they stopped working. But now the UMA says that Warrior Met is pulling out the stops to break the strike, including in at least three instances hitting striking workers with vehicles driven by people associated with the company's management. In the Week magazine on Tuesday, writer Ryan Cooper made a great point: where is Joe Biden on this? When Amazon was brutally suppressing a Union campaign in the same state, Biden released at least some acknowledgement of labor's right to organize there. But when it comes to coal, the Biden Administration is silent, even though the barest mention of the Warrior Met workers could drive a huge amount of attention to their plight. Keep an eye on this story this week -- with any luck, it'll start getting some traction in the wider media. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: The confusion we're all feeling with the Democratic party isn't unique to the left. NBC News reports that a survey of new democratic focus groups found that many voters quote "have trouble describing a clear positive vision of what the Democratic Party stands for.” endquote. That's on the party leadership, and they're running out of excuses fast. French President Emmanuel Macron got slapped -- yes, slapped in the face -- by a protester during a public appearance on Tuesday morning. Heads of state feeling the heat! Imagine that. We've got a very odd tidbit in the New York City Mayoral Race today: it's unclear to anyone where Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams actually lives, and Politico reports that he's often seen arriving at his office at midnight or in the early morning. He said he was living in his office earlier in the year to combat COVID-19, and may have just... continued to do so while campaigning. Bit strange, but ok! And finally, a small point of well, not hope, but who knows. The Intercept reports that Republican Senators aren't sure that Joe Manchin's infuriating defense of the filibuster will hold, meaning that if his GOP overlords are nervous, there might be a chance that someone in the Democratic party can get through to him. We'll see! AM QUICKIE - JUNE 9, 2021 HOSTS - Sam Seder & Lucie Steiner WRITER - Jack Crosbie PRODUCER - Dorsey Shaw EXECUTIVE PRODUCER - Brendan Finn

Born and raised in Brownsville, Borough President Adams was drawn to a career in public service from an early age and had a 22-year career in the NYPD, rising to the rank of Captain. While in the NYPD, Adams was a leader of his fellow Black police officers and an outspoken critic of police violence. In 2016, while serving his first term as Brooklyn Borough President, Adams was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, having lost vision in one eye and experienced significant nerve damage. Against the advice of his doctors, he decided to use a plant-based diet to treat his diabetes and was able to reverse the diagnosis in just a few months. Since then, Adams has been a vocal advocate of plant-based eating and food-as-medicine, and has implemented healthy eating programs across the borough.In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country.

There are few people with more credible voices on police reform than Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.  As you’ll hear in the interview, Adams talks about how his experience of being beaten by the police while in custody as a black teenager led to him become a police officer himself for two decades, and then ultimately to a life in politics.  After serving in the police force, Adams was elected as a state senator in New York where he championed police reforms, including opposition to the then-stop-and-frisk policy, and he’s now in his second term as the chief executive of New York City’s most populous borough, Brooklyn. And while it’s still early, Adams is already considered by many as a frontrunner in the November 2021 mayoral race in America’s largest city. (Current New York City Mayor Bill di Blasio will be termed out of office.) In addition to discussing technologies from the private sector he believes could be helpful in preventing lethal use of force by police, we also discuss how Adams’ adoption of a plant-based diet reversed his diabetes, gave him back his health, and what he thinks private businesses can do to advance public health. Discussed in this episode The 8 Can’t Wait platform of police reforms backed by President Obama Bola Wrap technology to safely and painlessly detain people How Not to Die by Michael Greger, MD You Are the Placebo and other books by Joe Dispenza

This episode is packed with nuggets of wisdom that will change your life and the world for the better if taken to heart.  I had the honor of sitting with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and was filled with hope for our future. At age 15, Eric Adams was beaten by police.  This traumatizing incident inspired him to become a police officer to help reform NYC policing from the inside.  He co-founded “100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care,” an advocacy group that rose to nationwide prominence speaking out against police brutality, racial profiling, and departmental diversity. He served 22 years on the force and retired a highly respected Captain.   We recorded this episode one week before the death of George Floyd and I feel we need Eric’s guidance more than ever right now. Eric is what I call a real-life superhero who is creating real reform and real recovery.  He traded in his blue uniform for a blue suit when he was elected to the New York State Senate and has earned widespread praise for creating innovative programs on issues ranging from conflict resolution to child abuse prevention.   What touched me most when talking with Eric was his kind heart and his passion for helping others.  He is on a mission to serve and strengthen his community and shares how change is possible and hope is available.  You can get through the toughest times, handle the most painful experiences, become more resilient and create a safe community. Eric shows us how! Here’s what you will learn:⁣ Eric’s pivotal experience with the police How you can turn your pain into purpose How to develop a never give up mindset Being your own advocate for your health and wellbeing  The power of community, giving back, a support system, and the social bank of life How to process trauma instead of ignoring it Reversing Type 2 Diabetes The life-changing benefits of a plant-based diet How to create reform and strengthen your community   The astonishing power of words and how they can change your life Taking the time to get to know yourself and transforming your mind, body and soul Eric’s 100 point system Being driven by purpose, being in the present and enjoying the journey to the destination Resilience--recovering from covid as a country.  Get in touch with Eric: www.brooklyn-usa.org Facebook @BKBoroHall Twitter @BKBoroHall Unlock your highest potential and start living the life you deserve!

With all that’s going on, will all the tension in the air, and with all the systemic issues that are being talked about, what if the main solution was to just have dinner with someone of a different perspective? After all, everyone is human and everyone eats and I felt the best way to understand someone is through a good dinner? Eric Adams, Borough President of Brooklyn, New York, believes that a simple dinner can solve a lot of our problems. We’ve had this episode in the bag since March, as in right as everything was locking down, things have changed a lot and there’s no better time to launch it than now because it deals with a lot of issues that is currently affecting the United States. Eric’s had a tough life. Eric didn’t know he was going to be a politician but a terrible string of events changed his life. Eric wanted to be in the computer industry but after he was beaten by the police, he decided to be a police officer and now he’s the President of the Brooklyn Borough pushing a ton of initiatives to make Brooklyn better. This interview is an inspiring example that no matter what your background is, or no matter what type of disadvantages you have going for you, you can strive to fix the problem. Eric brings a great perspective on finding big problems and using unique systems to solve them. One example Eric and I talk about in-depth, is the Breaking Bread, Building Bonds initiative. Another is how he reversed some serious health conditions by altering his diet. Thanks to Andrew Noyes from the JUST Foods team for forwarding this opportunity. If you want to hear more about Eric Adams, I highly suggest listening to two episodes from James Altucher. They go much more into Eric’s life and also gives a great glimpse of not only the life of Eric but how he’s trying to solve the problems that are happening. More Podcasts on Eric Adams James Altucher Ep 509 about Eric Adams' life in more detail James Altucher Ep 596 The Current State of Things with Eric Adams About Eric Adams Borough President EricAdams is also extremely passionate about issues of food justice within the context of racial justice. Diet-related disparities particularly affect racial/ethnic minorities, and the Borough President's promotion of plant-based nutrition in communities of color is an essential tool to tackle these disparities. Breaking Bread, Building Bonds is a new initiative from Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. There will be one hundred dinners across the city, with ten everyday people each from all various ethnicities, identities, and faiths. A particular emphasis will be placed on engaging young people in participating in these dinners, but most notably will involve New Yorkers who are not typical thought leaders or are otherwise significantly engaged in civic life. The goal is to use the tables to have different groups from all over the city sit down and learn from each other. These dinners, which will begin in the early part of 2020, will hopefully empower everyday voices to be new ambassadors of intersectional unity. Show Notes How do you introduce yourself?: I use elected office to deal with crises What’s your title?: Brooklyn Borough President. Brooklyn is the largest borough You didn’t start out being a politician?: I was actually interested in computers NBUF – Police Brutality Why did you go form police officer to a politician?: When I started to dive into it, I found to realize that I have to fix policies and fix the system. 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care When you were running for Senator, who were you, supporters?: Because I was an ex-cop, my relationships in the conservative part of the city did well. What I learned through this journey, we don’t talk to each other so we decided to do a very cool dinner Breaking Bread, Building Bonds Initiative We started an initiative where we would have 100 dinners and have 10 people per dinner and just have people talk to each other. I don’t think people appreciate the lubricating value of the meal How do you choose the people?: We have a link that sorts you out. We have the host get 3 people from 3 different backgrounds. No one can have the same background We look at all backgrounds but we can get specific. For example, Blacks can be Caribbean and Jewish can be Hisidic Can I have an example of a dinner you hosted?: We had 6 people from different South Asian communities. One of them was a Shik, another from Nepal, Punjab, Beijing, Mississippi etc. They explained their food, costumes, praying, and politics How do you break the ice?: We all sit down on the table.

The biggest producer of saturated fat was meat What do you eat now?: I explore a lot of spices because they do wonders to the body I break my fast with a nice green smoothie, for dinner, lentil pasta with a simple sauce and tofu Burlap and Barrel – Ori Zohar How do people do Breaking bread, building bonds?

Civil Rights Lawyer Norman Siegel, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams

If you think one person can't make an impace, think again. In 2016 at the young age of 54, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams listened as his doctor gave him a grim diagnosis of Type II diabetes. Sadly, he felt it was an inevitable fate because of rampant family history. What didn’t sit with him was relinquishing control of his health and realizing that he was going to be on medication for the rest of his life as his body continued to deteriorate. Refusing to be buried by this diagnosis, Adams did something that would change the course of his life forever. Instead of googling, “Living with Diabetes,” he typed, “Reversing Diabetes” and a seed was planted. Fortunately, that seed has produced a bountiful harvest of hope and inspiration. In just three short years since that diagnosis, Eric Adams has made a remarkable personal recovery plus a resounding impact with whole foods plant-based initiatives in New York City. He has lived a rich life committed to public service as an NYC Police Officer, New York State Senator, and Brooklyn Borough President. But this new chapter may be his most vital act of service yet - improving the lives and vitality of families and children in New York and beyond. One person can, indeed, create meaningful change and leave a legacy of hope. Will you be the next? .

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2016. Unwilling to surrender his health destiny to the medical profession, Adams did some research, adopted a plant-based diet, lost 30 pounds, and reversed his condition. And he didn't stop there. Instead, he committed to making Brooklyn into Ground Zero for healthy living.

On Saturday morning shortly before 10 a.m., 11 people had their lives taken from them when a gunman walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and opened fire onto worshipers. This week we look back at how Brooklyn responded to this disaster and what measures are being put in place to prevent this from happening here.

For the season premiere of The Farm Report, host Lisa Held sits down with New York City Council Member Rafael Espinal. Born in East New York, Espinal is a lifelong resident of Brooklyn and currently represents the 37th district, which includes Bushwick, Brownsville, Cypress Hills, and East New York. As a Council Member, Espinal has taken on urban agriculture as one of his primary issues. In August 2018, with the support of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, he introduced a new package of legislation that would create a comprehensive urban agriculture plan to promote and support farming across the five boroughs. Together, Held and Espinal discuss the community, economic, and environmental benefits of urban farming, what city government can and should do to encourage it, how to balance the interests of different players—from community gardens to venture capital-backed hydroponic farms—and how New York City’s path towards urban agriculture legislation fits into a larger trend of local governments across the country figuring out how to manage, support, and grow farming and gardening within city limits.

Episode 72: Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams by Max & Murphy

With the Trump administration embracing private prisons, and a crackdown on all crimes, how police departments operate will come under scrutiny.  We treasure what we measure so why do police metrics count captures and kills but not conflicts resolved? Could a change in metrics change police practice? And is "progressive policing" an oxymoron with no place in a radical agenda?   Laura sits down with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman, and Professor Emerita Judi Komaki to discuss lowered crime rates, a decline in Stop and Frisk policing, and changing practices around drug arrests. A model can exist where there are trusting relationships between the public and police, but it needs data, training, and a change in attitudes -- on both sides, say our guests. After serving as an NYPD police officer and New York State Senator, Eric Adams became the first Africa-American man to be the Brooklyn Borough President in 2013. | Donna Lieberman has been the executive director of the NYCLU since December 2001, during which time the organization has been a vocal critic of Stop and Frisk. | Judi Komaki is a professor emerita of organizational behavior, whose work focuses on how good data can improve organizations' policies.

Recorded on September 20, 2015 at the Brooklyn Book Festival.
