(DCNF)—Bravo host Andy Cohen launched into a seemingly drunken nearly two-minute rant about former Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams on CNN’s New Year’s Eve show Thursday.
Cohen gave his slurred commentary about Adams’ sole term at the helm of New York City ten minutes after midnight, around the time Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James swore in the former mayor’s socialist successor, Zohran Mamdani, during a private ceremony. The host, holding a drink, suggested that Adams “partied” during his mayoral tenure but did give him credit for mitigating New York City’s rat problem, during his rambling remarks from Times Square on CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live With Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.”
“Watching the final moments of Mayor Adams’ chaotic … I just want to say he got his pardons,” Cohen said at the start of the rant. “I’m just saying, great, you got your pardons. Go off into the sunset.”
“We’ll fiddle with what we have, with what you’ve left us with. Go dance away. We’ll see you at all the parties,” Cohen added, gesturing with his free hand. “You partied your way through four years … all the clubs, we’ll see you there. You got the pardons.”
President Donald Trump did not pardon Adams but instead, his administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) directed the Southern District of New York in February 2025 to drop federal criminal charges including fraud and bribery — related to accusations he accepted illegal gifts from Turkish government officials. Two months later, a federal judge dismissed Adams’ federal indictment with prejudice, meaning the specific case against him cannot be brought again.
“I just want to say, goodbye Mayor Adams. You did it. You did it. You did it, didn’t you?” Cohen continued.
The Bravo host then conceded that Adams may have “dented the rat population” of New York City.
“I love how quickly you turn … but he did do great work on rats,” Cooper weighed in.
“I think he got rid of some of the rats. But isn’t that a metaphor of sorts?” Cohen added, prompting Cooper to burst into a fit of laughter.
“Well guess what? It is 2026 and there are less rats,” Cohen went on to emphasize.
“Fewer,” Cooper said, correcting his co-host’s grammar.
Adams in 2023 notably appointed an official to serve as the city’s first ever director of Rodent Mitigation — a position that was popularly dubbed the Big Apple’s “rat czar” — and gave her a $3.5 million dollar budget to reduce the number of the city’s rats.
Cohen previously garnered attention when he gave a similar drunken rant about Adams’ predecessor, former Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, on New Year’s Day 2022 — minutes after the two-term mayor departed office. The TV host, who has publicly supported other Democratic candidates for office, blasted de Blasio for doing what he called “the crappiest job as mayor of New York.”
“The only thing that Democrats and Republicans can agree on is what a horrible mayor he has been,” Cohen said about Adams’ predecessor. “So sayonara, sucker!”
On Wednesday, in the final hours of his mayoral tenure, Adams told a reporter that on the day he leaves office, he will “have a single malt scotch and smoke a cigar.”
Adams initially ran for reelection as a Democrat but later switched to running as an independent, only to drop out of the race altogether. He later endorsed independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo — who like him remained a registered Democrat — who lost the general election to Mamdani.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
