Trimmed or broken up? >> no, the president is still fighting for his framework that he put out there, but i think that hes also acknowledging that there will have to be compromises and we wont get everything we want, but we will continue fighting for those portions of the package that dont get included. so, remember, the package was scaled down from initially well over $3 trillion, now its in the $1.75 trillion neighborhood, so there are things that we will not get, but were going to continue to...

>> look, we need immediate action. weve already had double the number of shootings in manhattan than we had last year. that cant continue. some of these fixes are long term. i think we can move immediately to begin to support young people in our communities, to interdict guns that are flowing into the community and, yes, to be on the street and seizing some of the guns that are out there with sensitivity to not repeating mistakes of the past. the mayor has said we have to start showing immediate...

And its hard to deal with that, i think, in the sort of political context. and when you look at what is happening in your hospitals. >> absolutely, what we are looking at is that omicron is half of severe in terms of creating hospitalizations as delta. it is mild or, but not mild. especially because it looks like it can transmit at 2 to 4 and maybe six times the rate of previous variants. meaning, that it may wash away any potential benefit of it being mild. our point is that its happening and i...
