This week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott surprised many by visiting New York City — a city that he targeted last year with numerous busloads of asylum seekers. Speaking at a breakfast event at the Yale Club in Manhattan, Abbott largely minimized the city's problem while blaming the migrant crisis on President Joe Biden. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kelly Mena and NY1 political anchor Errol Louis weighed in on Abbott's remarks, as well as several other developments in the crisis over the last week. After that, New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is in a heap of trouble as he was brought in on bribery charges in a Manhattan courtroom. The senator is accused of pocketing bribes of cash and gold bars. Menendez claims he's innocent, while many top-ranking Democrats are now calling for his resignation. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discussed the accusations, and what the senator's political future might look like.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com Further reading: Texas governor minimizes NYC's migrant crisis and blasts Biden Menendez tells Senate colleagues he won't resign, remains defiant amid bribery charges

Even though the Latino population in New York is at record levels, there are no citywide Latino officials. A new survey of Latino voters in New York finds that Latinos themselves have a hard time naming an influential Latino leader in New York, with just under 15% naming Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Latino voters are also split in their opinion of the Democratic Party — with 40% saying that the state government does not represent or incorporate the Latino perspective. Luis Miranda, founder of the Hamilton Campaign Network, and Melissa Mark-Viverito, president of the network and former City Council speaker, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the poll they commissioned and the role of Latinos in New York politics. They also talked about how the migrant crisis needs a leading voice from the Latino community, and how some asylum seekers have encountered acts of violence and hostility upon arriving in New York.

Last week, President Joe Biden and his administration extended a federal policy for Venezuelan migrants in the United States, allowing for wider permissions like legal work permits. What does that mean for the thousands of migrants in the city, of which 40% are Venezuelan? And where does Mayor Eric Adams stand on the issue after saying the migrant situation would “destroy” the city? And how do New Yorkers feel living in a place long known for accepting immigrants? NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan speaks with political reporter Kelly Mena about all this and more.

Errol Louis is the host of NY1's Inside City Hall and the podcast “You Decide with Errol Louis.” He joins Preet to discuss New York City's recent influx in migrants. Since last spring, over 113,000 migrants have arrived in the city from all over the world. And the city's one-of-a-kind “right-to-shelter” law, which guarantees anyone who needs emergency housing will get it, is being debated among city and federal officials.  Stay Tuned in Brief is presented by CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Amid serious pressure from Democratic leaders, the White House granted temporary work permits for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are already in the country. After pressuring President Joe Biden for months, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams praised the move. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kevin Frey and NY1 political director Bob Hardt weighed in on the announcement and took a look at some of the recent protests regarding migrant shelters on Staten Island and Floyd Bennett Field.  After that, a tragic event occurred when a 1-year-old child died in a Bronx day care center after being exposed to fentanyl. Three other children were also hospitalized after exposure. Both the operator of the center and a relative are facing federal drug charges. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discussed the harrowing story, as well as what can be done about the fentanyl epidemic that threatens to overwhelm New York and the rest of the country.

This week, former New York City Buildings Commissioner and ex-City Councilman Eric Ulrich surrendered to authorities in Manhattan. District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Ulrich took over $150,000 in bribes in a multi-year scheme, providing access and official favors in exchange for cash. A former advisor to Mayor Eric Adams, Ulrich pleaded not guilty to the 16 felony counts against him. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kelly Mena and NY1 political director Bob Hardt weighed in on the inspector's alleged crimes as well as his — and his co-conspirators' — relationship to the mayor. After that, in an attempt to help pay for the ever-growing costs of the migrant crisis, Adams has directed all city agencies to make immediate budget cuts of 5%. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discusses the mayor's directive, including exactly how it will work within the agencies which already have tight budgets. They also look at the awkward rollout of this information from City Hall.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading: Ex-NYC buildings chief charged with accepting $150K in bribes Mayor directs every city agency to cut funding

As the new school year kicks off, there are big changes for city public school students. For the first time in years, they will learn to read using a new curriculum. The change is part of an effort to increase comprehension, a problem highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus, schools around the five boroughs will absorb around 20,000 migrant children. NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan speaks with education reporter Jillian Jorgensen about what awaits students and teachers this school year.

With thousands of migrants arriving in New York City every week, Mayor Eric Adams raised some eyebrows when he said the crisis could “destroy the city.” The mayor's strong words drew a wave of responses from across the political spectrum, with liberals generally criticizing him and conservatives praising him. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kelly Mena and NY1 education reporter Jillian Jorgensen weighed in on the mayor's words. And with hundreds of thousands of children returning to public schools, the “Off Topic/On Politics” team looked at several of the major issues on parents' minds this September, including migrants being absorbed into classrooms and a possible bus strike.   Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com Further reading: Mayor worries migrant issue will 'destroy' city City faces challenges ahead of start of school year

The nearly constant shifts in our relationship with the internet have permanently altered our lives and they show no signs of slowing down. In her new book, “Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet,” Taylor Lorenz, a technology columnist at the Washington Post, documents these shifts and the rise of social media. The book chronicles what Lorenz calls the “history of the social internet.” Lorenz joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss her book, as well as her career in tech journalism. They also discussed how “mommy blogging” was the true beginning of content creation and pioneering revenue streams; the significance of going viral; the downfall of Vine; the role of Netflix in the writers' strike; and how former President Donald Trump's social media campaign could fare in his third election cycle. They also touched on Lorenz's struggles with long COVID and how she uses her platform to strengthen communication around the virus.  Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Clarence Jones for a NY1 profile in 2008. In 2013, it was an honor to share the stage at the 92nd St. Y and moderate a conversation with Clarence, Harry Belafonte and Julian Bond to commemorate 50 years since the 1963 March on Washington. And it was fascinating to speak with him this week, 60 years since the March and Dr. King's “I Have A Dream” speech, a speech Clarence helped write. He is one of the most important unsung heroes of the civil rights movement, a behind the scenes mover and shaker as attorney, advisor and occasional speechwriter for Dr. King. Now 92 years old, he is one of the last living lions of the civil rights movement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As migrants seeking asylum continue to come to New York City in droves, some residents are fighting efforts by the city to place the newcomers in their neighborhoods. One of the protest leaders, former mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his fight against the policies of the Adams administration. Their discussion focused on the migrant influx and how Sliwa has been arrested three times in the last two weeks. Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels, explained why he thinks many asylum seekers are “jumping the line,” and why he thinks they should be housed at Rikers Island. They also touched on Sliwa's long career in radio, his role as an animal-rights activist and tips on how to be a successful organizer.

Increasing pressure on the White House, Gov. Kathy Hochul this week delivered an address on the migrant influx, amplifying her plea for assistance from the federal government while declaring that the city's right-to-shelter mandate does not apply to the rest of the state. She also announced new state aid in the form of $20 million in funding, a shelter site at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and a plan to connect migrants with potential employers while they await work authorization.  NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza, Kelly Mena and Dan Rivoli discussed the crisis and the political risks for Hochul. Plus, they analyzed the first Republican presidential primary debate, where outspoken 38-year-old political outsider Vivek Ramaswamy grabbed the spotlight.

In 1984, a subway straphanger named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teenagers who he said were trying to mug him. The case soon drew national attention — with Goetz being celebrated as a hero by some New Yorkers, even after he was charged with attempted murder. The city was reminded of the Goetz case this past May after 30-year-old Jordan Neely was placed in a fatal chokehold by a man who said he was defending his fellow subway passengers. Noted podcast host and producer Leon Neyfakh was in the middle of producing a six-part audio documentary on Goetz called “Vigilante” when the Neely news broke. He joined NY1's Errol Louis for a look at the Goetz story and how he thinks the killing of Neely indicates how little has changed in four decades. They also discussed how he began his podcast career, why he created the hit podcast “Slow Burn” for Slate, and his thoughts around his latest project “FIASCO.” Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

This week, the state sent a strongly worded letter regarding the city's response to the influx of migrants. But Gov. Kathy Hochul said she remains committed to helping Mayor Eric Adams navigate this issue. Adams, meanwhile, has been pressuring upstate counties to help house asylum seekers. NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza, NY1 political director Bob Hardt and Albany political reporter Kate Lisa weigh in on the challenges the entire state is facing, as the number of arriving migrants continues to rise. After that, the man formerly known as “America's mayor,” Rudy Giuliani, finds himself in a mountain of legal trouble, after being indicted alongside former President Donald Trump. The managing editor of the Washington, D.C. bureau for Spectrum News, Joel Siegel, joins the “Off Topic/On Politics” team to try to unravel Rudy's woes.

On a Thursday afternoon in 2003, the power went out in New York City. Rush hour commutes turned into walking across bridges or sleeping on the steps of Penn Station. Neighbors left their dark and quiet apartments and congregated on the streets outside of their buildings. Now 20 years later, Pat Kiernan speaks with his NY1 colleagues about what it was like covering the largest blackout in North America — when nobody could watch television.

New York City is currently spending $9.8 million per day on the migrant crisis, according to Mayor Eric Adams. At a press conference this week, Adams announced that nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived in the city since spring 2022, and more than 57,000 remain in the city's care. He stated once again that the city is long past its breaking point and called on the Biden administration to declare a state of emergency. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena, and Mornings On 1 anchor Pat Kiernan, discuss the situation, and whether the federal government will come to the city's aid.   The team also breaks down a lengthy profile of the mayor in this week's New Yorker magazine. They also look at his tricky relationship with the press and how some of his actions have been perceived by the media. Finally, they talk about whether anyone will challenge Adams when he seeks reelection.   Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading: City on track to spend $12 billion on migrants without federal, state intervention

Former President Donald Trump was indicted for the third time this year, facing four federal charges for a plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election. This week's indictment includes six unnamed co-conspirators with all signs pointing to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani being one of them. NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza, education reporter Jillian Jorgensen and political anchor Errol Louis discuss the legal woes Giuliani, who is a former U.S. attorney and was once known as “America's mayor,” is facing. The team also breaks down new rules that restaurants and other food businesses will soon have to follow. The City Council approved the city's outdoor dining program, which will require businesses to remove outdoor sheds during the winter months. Also, in an effort to reduce rats, restaurants and bodegas have to use proper trash cans instead of piling trash bags on the sidewalks. But as Cuza explains, the industry is pushing back. Finally, New Yorkers will now have to request cutlery, napkins and condiments with takeout and delivery orders. Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com

The migrant crisis has been at the center of almost every political discussion in New York City for over a year. As the wave of new arrivals shows no signs of slowing down, Mayor Eric Adams says the city needs federal help because its resources are stretched beyond their limits. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams recently took a trip to the White House hoping to obtain assistance. He joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his meeting and what he hopes will happen in the future. They also touched on Adams' recent clash with the City Council over housing vouchers, his views on congestion pricing and what to do about the problems that continue to plague Rikers Island.

With thousands of migrants arriving in the city every week, Mayor Eric Adams this week announced the opening of a large new relief center in the parking lot of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens Village. There has been resistance to the announcement from Queens officials. NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza, education reporter Jillian Jorgensen and political director Bob Hardt discuss the new site. They also talk about the hiring of Lisa Zornberg, who will serve as the mayor's new chief counsel and be on the front lines in any legal battle over the migrants.  After that, a fight is brewing over New York's congressional lines. A group of Republicans is filing an appeal after a judge ruled that the state's congressional lines must be redrawn by a redistricting commission. The fight could ultimately play a major role in next year's fight over the control of the U.S. House of Representatives. The “Off Topic/On Politics“ team gets at the heart of a complicated legal showdown.

The myth of a monolithic Latino vote has been shattered in recent national and local elections. With a wave of new migrants coming to America from many Spanish-speaking countries, voting patterns are shifting in a community that is complicated and diverse. Recent analysis of the 2022 midterm elections found that first-time Latino voter growth was driven by younger voters, especially in Arizona, Nevada and Florida. What will this all mean for elections in 2024? On this week's episode, NY1's Errol Louis was joined by several experts for a discussion about the upswing in the power of the Latino electorate. First, he talked with Arturo Vargas of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. Then, Louis sat down with two of his colleagues: Karina Kling, host of “Capital Tonight” in Texas, and Alex Cohen, political anchor at Spectrum News 1 in Southern California and the host of “Inside the Issues.” Both discussed how their states have been affected by recent demographic changes. And finally, Eli Valentin, an authority on Latino politics in New York, stopped by to talk about the issues that drive Latino voters to the polls.   Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

Facing a growing population of migrants, Mayor Eric Adams announced that the city will limit shelter stays for single adult asylum seekers to 60 days. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena and NY1 political anchor Errol Louis weigh in on this policy change and whether it can be successfully implemented. They also discuss the mayor's announcement that the city will be passing out flyers at the U.S.-Mexican border to deter people from coming to New York City. The mayor also appointed the first Latino to be the city's top cop, Edward Caban. Caban replaces Keechant Sewell, who resigned suddenly last month. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team discusses the role of a police commissioner in the Adams administration and how Caban may be able to outlast the short term of his predecessor.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com Further reading: Adams limits shelter stays for adult migrants to 60 days Edward Caban named new NYPD commissioner

In 2003, something almost unthinkable happened at City Hall when Brooklyn Councilman James Davis was killed by an assassin in the chambers of the City Council. The shooting sent shockwaves across the city, with New Yorkers stunned that a murder could occur in the building, which is heavily guarded by police.   To reflect on Davis' legacy on this week's podcast, NY1's Errol Louis is joined by New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Davis' brother Geoffrey and three people who were inside City Hall on that fateful afternoon: state Sen. James Sanders (who was then a city councilman), Democratic consultant Lupe Todd-Medina and former NY1 political reporter Michael Scotto.

Over the past few weeks, New York City and surrounding areas have experienced some historic weather events. From dense orange skies to widespread flooding throughout the region, weather patterns seem to be changing. Pat Kiernan speaks with John Davitt, NY1's chief meteorologist, about recent extreme weather and how the city is responding.

It has been a challenging few weeks for Mayor Eric Adams, who is now midway through his second year in office. Last weekend, he spoke at a predominantly Black church in Brooklyn to take aim at the local media and complained that one of the hardest parts of being mayor is not getting the respect he deserves. NY1 political reporters Juan Manuel Benítez, Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena weigh in on the mayor's remarks and what they indicate about his ability to do his job. After that, the City Council is expanding the distribution of city vouchers for people in need of housing assistance by overriding a mayoral veto. The “Off Topic/On Politics" team looks at this rare turn of events and the reasons the legislation is both complicated and divisive.  Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com Further reading: Mayor grilled by City Council for his response to June air quality event City Council overrides mayor's housing legislation veto

One could claim, without hyperbole, that Ben Smith helped invent modern digital media. Smith, the co-founder of Semafor News, is a former New York Times media columnist and the founding editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News. He is also the author of “Traffic: Genius, Rivalry, and Delusion in the Billion-Dollar Race to Go Viral,” which chronicles both BuzzFeed's rise to fame and Nick Denton, the controversial mastermind behind Gawker. Along the way, Smith tells other tales of the many key players involved in New York City's Silicon Alley. Smith joined NY1's Errol Louis for a lengthy discussion about his book, and his years at BuzzFeed. They also talked about his blog years, the ability to make things go viral, his thoughts on Thread and how he and his colleagues may have misjudged human nature. They also weighed in on the role social media will play in the 2024 presidential election. And they touched on how so many major players in the right-wing media movement came from the same offices and companies that Smith did.

There were two big surprises in this week's primaries. NY1 political reporters Zack Fink, Bobby Cuza and Juan Manuel Benítez provide some much-needed analysis of some of the night's results. And following months of negotiations, Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council reached a “handshake agreement” on the city's budget, one day before a Friday deadline. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team weighs in on the $107 billion deal and how it will affect the city. Also, congestion pricing is really coming to New York City. The controversial initiative is scheduled to be in the city by April 2024. And finally, an “Off Topic/On Politics” host says goodbye.

Primary Day, which is June 27, is almost here in New York City with every City Council seat up for grabs in this fall's general election. While ranked-choice voting will be used in any council primary with three or more candidates, Mayor Eric Adams sounded critical of the process. NY1's Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weigh in on some races, and why they think the mayor seems to oppose the ranked-choice process.   After that, the city's Rent Guidelines Board approved increasing rent-stabilized leases in New York City; one-year leases will go up by 3%, while two-year leases will increase 2.75% for the first year and 3.2% for the second year. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team takes a look at this decision and how it will affect both tenants and landlords.   Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading:   How does ranked-choice voting work?

This week, Keechant Sewell suddenly announced her resignation from leading the nation's largest police department. The decision comes only one-and-a-half years into her tenure and at a time when all major crime categories were trending down. Sewell became New York City's first woman police commissioner when Mayor Eric Adams appointed her to the position in December 2021. NY1's Juan Manuel Benítez, Courtney Gross and Emily Ngo weighed in on the commissioner's decision, and discussed the unusually high rate of turnover in the Adams administration.    After that, City Council primaries are less than two weeks away and the “Off Topic/On Politics” team highlighted several of the more competitive races, including one in District 1 in Chinatown and Lower Manhattan. One of the key issues in that race is how the closing of the city's jails on Rikers Island could affect the district. They also looked at District 9 in Harlem, where a serious concern is affordable housing. Finally, the team briefly explained ranked-choice voting.   Spectrum News NY1 hosted two City Council primary debates for District 1 and District 9. You can watch both of the debates on NY1.com.   Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading:  Mayor offers praise, but no explanation for police commissioner's sudden exit Mayor Eric Adams endorses Inez Dickens for Harlem seat

This week, New York City faced another unprecedented event in the form of smoke from wildfires in Canada that blanketed the city and deteriorated air quality rather alarmingly. The smoke gave the city the worst air quality rating in the world, and New York's worst since the 1960s. Some critics say Mayor Eric Adams and city health and emergency management officials should have briefed the public earlier as to what was happening. NY1's Zack Fink, Juan Manuel Benítez and Courtney Gross weigh in on the city's response and also look at the larger significance of the air quality event. After that, in Albany, the legislative session is due to wrap up this week, and it looks to be ending with a whimper rather than a roar. Once lawmakers leave town this week, they are not expected back until January. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team looks at the reason so little was accomplished, the status of the Clean Slate Act, and what all of these say about Gov. Kathy Hochul.   Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com    Further reading: Adams urges New Yorkers to 'stay home' Thursday Hochul sees little progress in final days of session

As we close in on June 27, Primary Day in New York City, we continue our look at some of the most competitive City Council races. This week, we head to eastern Queens in District 23, where there is a highly competitive race in which the incumbent Linda Lee is facing criticism from her challengers for voting in favor of cutting the school budget last year. Up in the Bronx in District 13, Marjorie Velazquez looks to hold on to her seat, while facing some serious opposition in the general election due to issues around the controversial Bruckner rezoning. NY1 political reporter Emily Ngo has been closely covering these races. She joined Errol Louis for an in-depth look at the approaching primaries. They touched on the contests both in District 23 and District 13, including the highly competitive Republican primary in the 13th District, as well as the emergence of many Asian Americans running for office. They also discussed the debate around specialized high school testing and test prep.

The Tony Awards can send a surge of business to a Broadway show's ticket booth, but the absence of the awards can also mean posting closing notices. How thin are the financial margins for Broadway shows? What does it take to keep a show operating? And when does a financial hit become a financial boom? Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1's Frank DiLella and two Tony Award winners, Warren Leight and Ken Davenport, about the economics of the Great White Way.

As the state legislative session nears the finish line, little more looks to be getting done outside of the somewhat-controversial Clean Slate Act. The bill, which would seal criminal records for those who finish their sentences and stay out of trouble for seven years, has been gaining momentum and appears to be close to passing. NY1's Zack Fink, Bob Hardt and Courtney Gross take a look at the bill, and the current debate surrounding it. They also weighed in on the lack of any other significant last-minute movement on legislation as this session winds down. After that, another tragedy occurred on Rikers Island. Adding to what seems to be an endless list of violent incidents, another detainee died in a hospital with conflicting stories about what caused his death. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team take a look at the Rikers report that was issued by a federal monitor on Friday and how it raises serious questions about the Department of Corrections' leadership.    Leave a message: 212-379-3440 Email: yourstoryny1@charter.com   Further reading: State leaders say Clean Slate Act likely to pass before end of legislative session Adams defends Rikers Correction Commissioner after transparency report

We are less than a month away from June 27, Primary Day in New York City, where close to two dozen City Council seats will be on the ballot. Among the most-watched races is in Harlem with incumbent Kristin Richardson Jordan dropping out of the race in May. Two state lawmakers and one of the exonerated Central Park Five are the remaining candidates. Another tight race is in Brooklyn's District 43, which was redrawn in last year's redistricting process to create a heavily Asian district. Ariama C. Long, a reporter from the New York Amsterdam News, sat down for a conversation about the District 9 Democratic Primary and the candidates looking to fill Richardson Jordan's shoes. She and NY1's Errol Louis also touched on the housing issues that are plaguing Harlem.  After that, Annie McDonough, the deputy City Hall reporter for City & State New York, joined Errol to discuss the primary race in District 43 and the fairly new names that are on the ballot.  Join the conversation, weigh in on Twitter using the hashtag #NY1YouDecide or give us a call at 212-379-3440 and leave a message.

This week, the Adams administration asked a state court to revisit a landmark 1981 agreement that requires the city to provide shelter for homeless New Yorkers. NY1's Zack Fink, Bobby Cuza and Courtney Gross looked at the latest development in the shelter crisis while also discussing what other options the city may have at this point.    After that, the MTA is proposing its first base subway fare hike since 2015 — from $2.75 to $2.90.
