the mayor of miami beach has had a lot to say. here's what he told cnn. >> our city is one of the few destinations that are open nationally. most other places are closed. most other places might be too cold or both so we're getting an enormous amount of people here, more than we can handle, too many are coming, really without the intention of following the rules. it feels like a rock concert, wall to wall people over blocks and blocks, last night somebody shot a weapon up in the air and there was a riot, over things have happened that have similarly challenging and so it feels like a tinder. it feels like just any match could set it off. >> a dozen arrests last night, even after the 8:00 p.m. cur fee went into place. the streets were still full. the police were having a hard time clearing the streets in the miami baef area. those arrests are on top of the more than 100 arrests, fred, from last weekend and police had to use pepper spray on folks in the street. it's certainly a situation here, fred, back to you. >> okay, randi kaye,

that's what were seen ng in miami.e all feel that way, i'm not young anymoreav or headg for spring break but everyone certainly feels the cabin fever from all of this but they don't behave like that this is clearly gotten out of control you see the fights in the restaurants not allowed to serve outside to have an 8:00 p.m. curfew and all of that hurts business and they thought maybe this would be an opportunity to start saving money but a lot of them are adults and may not be in college and just went to miami for a good time it's a real mixed a bunch and the crowd. do you believe the miami beach police for taking the steps that they did. >> absolutely not, there should be no tolerance for this behavior for property destruction, zero-tolerance but it is time for young people and people have been vaccinated to get back to normal life and perhaps we'll see fewer of the incidents in the future and the consequences of the strict lockdown have been absolutely devastating and young people who should be in college socializing

just lastly, miami beach. what? >> right. i mean, i think it is obvious that people are not heeding public health guidance, that people are not listening when we say, don't party, don't travel. the cdc is saying, no nonessential travel, but obviously people are not listening. we're having an all-time high when it comes to air traffic since the beginning of the pandemic. i think at this point we need to pivot our strategy. instead of telling people not to do something, clearly that's not working, we need to say, how can we reduce harm? make sure, for example, you're outdoors more than you're indoors. mask wearing is a form of reducing harm, too. and i think telling people, if you did engage in risky behavior, when you return to your thome community, make sure you quarantine and test. ideally you don't go in the first place, but at least wait until you're vaccinated because that in itself, getting the vaccine, is a form of harm reduction as well. >> let's hope if people aren't heeding the warnings while partying, they will do s

and the women were taught, speaking of the miami archives, the manuals in miami are absolutely amazing. they're incredible to look at in part a because they cover such a wide range of information. the women were taught in the training how to, for example, the manuals have representations of all the fraternal organizations. some of them were taught to, you know, look for mason pins. and if there were two people onboard wearing the same pin, they were told to introduce them in flight. and, you know, they were taught to recognize, they were taught the different culinary traditions of the different places that they were flying to and how they should be serving people differently on different flights. so they were, all of these, the common thread in that section of the training really was diplomacy. and they were told they were diplomats, that they were representing the united states in the air and that they needed to be behave as such. and, you know, they were expected to what we would call -- they were also told how to, how to calm passengers down who were anxious at flying when flying wa
