Trump, July 31, 2020: 'As far as TikTok is concerned, we're banning them from the United States.'

Trump, today: 'Just so everyone knows, especially the young people, Crooked Joe Biden is responsible for banning TikTok.'

Mayor Eric Adams says on CNN that the NYPD will decide when something crosses the line during pro-Palestinian demonstrations: 'If someone makes a comment that they want to join a terrorist organization, that's going to come under investigation.'

Mayor Adams says NYPD “stand ready to respond if another request is made by the university, as they did on Thursday, when the NYPD successfully cleared encampments on Columbia’s South Lawn without any injuries.”

On Reset Talk Show, Mayor Adams stresses that the buck does not stop with him when it comes to congestion pricing and that he's not happy with aspects of the system set to take effect later this year.

'This is not Eric Adams' bill,' he says.
