york city because of those questions. >> at the end of the day, these are all about choices. these are all about public policy choices that mayors make, that city counciladers in communities make. if you start seeing tents popping up in san francisco or washington, d.c. or in other major cities, that is a choice by city officials to let homeless people do things that are dangerous for them, could be dangerous for other people, things that are unsanitary, things that might actually promote crime. not just from people living in those tents but directed toward people in those tents. it is insanity. >> i think we all agree -- >> do we? i think we all agree. >> that the gap during covid, inequality gap has widened, and there are a lot of people hurting. so the description that you were just making shows that also these new mayors and city officials have to address two things at once. just like eddie was talking about. i do think there are people who are really hurting, and it is a reason some of this is happening. >> yes. and two things can be true at once. we can have problems in covid. you know what else is true right now? there are more job openings -- >

york you would have the state governor and the mayor cheering that he was fired. so, just goes show you how confusing this gets like the governor of arizona is standing up for -- against his own city councilple for not getting mandates. you only have so much power. the president has so much power. the governor and the mayor only has so much power. confusing because everyone is on different pages. steve: it is but the u.s. supreme court has had the chance to intervene in different vaccine mandate cases where they would essentially say you can't fire people. but the supreme court has essentially said nope, we're not going to get involved in that in other words, the mandates continue. so people are getting fired and the supreme court apparently they're okay with that. brian: the president would not even acknowledge the problem with people, great people getting fired as cops and firefighters and medical workers and teachers didn't even give that a second thought yesterday. meanwhile, this was stunning news. fox news alert. actor alec baldwin accidentally shoots and kills a cinematographer and injured a director after firing a prop gun on a movie set in new mexico. he did not think was loaded.
