just a quick comment to what eric adams had to say. david brought up a really great point, kind of reminds me when we hear about the root causes of immigration, he is trying to address the root cause, for something got out of hand you have to adjust immediate problems first and that's a criminal there's a person pulling the trigger and that criminal and more times and not as a rap sheet that is a mile long and by the way is not just the related violence in new york city and cities across the country it is the brazen smash and grab, just this morning again a 61-year-old man in new york city was pushed into the train tracks he luckily was able to escape but michele gile last week was not so lucky. we have to address these and if you are mayor eric adams you say maybe we address the guns but we need to address the policies because that is the real issue here. david: go ahead david. david: i helped around this investigation at the bronx at the request of some of the officers there. when you have a system where the prosecutors and the low c

here's the thing, i can't speak for eric adams. he certainly ran and after winning the democratic primary made very clear that he was a blue collar mayor, that he was the mayor who was going to represent the folks in this city, a large number of new yorkers who work long hours and struggle to pay rent, who work long hours and can't necessarily buy food at the end of the month. and that these new yorkers absolutely need a mayor that's going to recognize both how hard they work, the value of the work but also come forward with the policies that are going to make their lives better. new york city's facing the end of an eviction moratorium. this is a major issue because so many new yorkers who he is talking about when he uses disparaging term low skilled are the same people who are not sure how or whether they're going to be evicted when this moratorium is over, we need to hear what the policies of this administration are going to be for those people and that's really how you become the mayor of the people is really represent the polic

it is interesting, because eric adams, _ heart-warming.k, he is following in the footsteps of a mayor who most people in york would say has not been as good as they hoped he would be, bill de blasio. and because he has got that background in policing, and emergency services, he has created and are of reassurance of authority that perhaps new york has been lacking for a few years. what do you make of that photograph? b5 do you make of that photograph? is an act to assange, it is powerful any kind of thing where you don't need a lot of narrative or description, because itjust speaks volumes, in terms of the scale of human tragedy and loss and it brings you back to what we have seen in our own country, with the grenfell tragedy and the impact that has had, entity needs to have, on many peoples lives. entity needs to have, on many peeples lives— peoples lives. and that is important- _ peoples lives. and that is important. and _ peoples lives. and that is important. and we - peoples lives. and that is important. and we are i peoples lives. and

and eric adams, who is now the mayor of the blue-blue new york city. they agree that keeping schools open is the single-most important thing they need to do in the midst of the surge. it is a surnl that, overall, is creating considerable confusion and anxiety for many americans. tonight, the fda again revising boo booster recommendations, shortening the recommended time between a second and third shot by about a month. and now, recommending the pfizer booster for kids 12 to 15. new guidance adding to already-muddied waters coming as americans who want to return to some sense of normal are growing more frustrated because the surge, such that it leads to people being out sick or required to stay home even if they aren't sick but actually are positive for covid, that is causing a ton of staff shortages, right? snow, small part of that. but workers testing positive for covid. flight crews and much like last year at this time, people standing and waiting in nar cars for hours just to get tested and wait who knows how long to get test results back. nick watt

eric adams tried to reassure parents schools will be open.end 1.5 million tests to schools. this is something parents are dealing with. it is one of the factors we have to think about when we think about this labor market and lower participation. matt: absolutely. the question is do you do what parents want you to do, do do what kids mental health demands you do, or do you try to stop the spread of the disease. even if you have less severe disease from the omicron variant , when we are looking at such massive numbers. we have been covering this -- that has to be a drastic understatement. most people who test positive never tell public health officials. you will send a lot more people to the hospital. does eric adams make the right move for parents and kids for the right move for health care workers? that is what i think the interesting debate is. kailey: a very interesting question. let's pose it to joshua sharfstein. when you think about school and children when you see infections on the rise, you think keeping schools open is the right move

eric adams says he likes the idea. >> so disturbing, like he said i need my brother to work securityause of a rise in white supremacy in new york city. really? this is disturbing, he said something that makes sense. why would you allow someone to vote that has not pledged allegiance to the country. yes, they are here on green cards, they are on the books but have not gone through the process. when asked, well, someone is able to plead their case and i understood it. you understood 800,000 votes most likely to go to democrats, that's what you understand. we see beyond this. i was talking to some immigration attorneys, they say left and right, they say one of the best things about to see someone go through citizenship, put their hand on the bible and swear allegiance to the country. we are letting people vote that don't do that. don't think democrats don't have eyes on making it a national issue. >> john: the first thing i did after i swore the oath of citizenship a week after 2011, i registered to vote, i knew i had the right to do that. brian kilmeade, thank you, hardest working man

i'm someone who is optimistic about eric adams.sio on crime for example, and he's reversing course and changing direction and he's doing all the right things and has the full support of so many new yorkers, but then when it comes to the mandates on vaccines, we can see that they just aren't working. we can see the case numbers ris ing. we can see the vaccinated becoming infected almost as frequently as the non- vaccinated population , so sticking with this mandates is only going to expand our already-problematic issues with our finances, as you report mentioned our unemployment rate right now is over 9%. it's double what it is nationally. this can only be attributed to bad economic policies. ashley: yeah, and almost every day joe we speak to business owners within new york city, who say they're barely hanging on, desperately making appeal to the lawmakers to say look you've got to give us some leeway, all the steps you've taken and to your point, what have they done other than keep people not only out of their business, but out of
