new york city elected a new mayor tuesday. eric adams says he's a progressive but with a different approach. many see his message as a blueprint for democrats across the country. joining me is new york city mayor-elect eric adams. thank you for joining me this morning. i appreciate it. so you said that national democrats can't be so -- >> thank you. >> -- philosophical and theoretical that you throw out terms instead of looking at the ground and looking at what people need. so what was happening on the ground in this election and how did democrats who are not you miss it? >> well i believe clearly we should be known for what we did, the infrastructure bill is what we must use as a blueprint. i say this over and over again new yorkers and americans we are not complicated. we have a covenant with government. we pay our taxes and government we are supposed to give goods and services through the agencies and we continue to give a dysfunctional product every year, not educating our children, 65% of black and brown children don't re

you've seen the outdoor dining in new york city, it's joyous. people are out, the city is active and alive again. halloween was beautiful. there were trick-or-treaters all over new york city and life felt like it was moving forward. but that's because we have that high level of vaccination. that's given us the freedom. and sometimes you have to use a muscular approach to help make sure things go right. these mandates, i'm telling you, anyone out there listening, ceo or public leader, just do it. yeah, there's a lot of noise -- >> just do it, baby. >> -- to it because people respond to deadlines, people respond to a firm, tough decision. i guarantee you, people don't like to lose their paycheck. you say get vaccinated or no paycheck, that will get people moving quickly. the proof is in the pudding. it happened with lightning speed in this city and now it's made us safer and now things are coming back to life, and we have to end this era once and for all. >> mr. mayor, you said yesterday only 6%, 6% of city employees are out on unpaid leave right

new york city forward. >> one of your challenges is really getting new york city back into a pre-covid business and economic environment. how challenging do you think that's going to be and do you think this is going to be a tougher recovery than maybe folks in manhattan realize? >> it's going to be tough. we know that. but, you know, i'm a sports guy. the game was on the line in the mid-'80s when we were having 2,000 homicide a year, we put on bulletproof vests and turned around the city. we can do it again. new york is too expensive and bureaucratic to do business in. our agencies are focused on penalizing businesses and holding up businesses from opening. think about this for a moment. you build a hotel in new york, you're ready to bring in business travelers and hire people, and you will wait almost two years just to get a sprinkler inspection. or try opening a restaurant and wait two years for con edison to turn on your electricity. this condition happen in a city where we're trying to recover. the overwhelming number of our employees use the subway system every day. but it's prev

tomorrow there is election hearing in new york city. he has over the weekend urged again all municipal workers to get vaccinated but he has not committed to maintaining the mandate. that's something he'll look at and make a review and make a decision later. it's possible that they can change a couple of months. >> well, that would be a shame if that did happen. elise jordan, maybe it's just the old reagan conservative in me? going back to the air traffic controller strike. if you are ordered to go to work and you don't go to work and public safety is at risk, you are fired that day. we are not going to put the lives of new yorkers in any danger, you are fired and you are not the type of person we want in our work force any way that would put other american lives in danger. get off and we'll do what it takes to fill those spots. it may not be easy but reagan somehow managed to do it. deblasio should do. fire them. >> i can't square what we are seeing right now, firefighters who are immature high school students compare to the firefighter

york city. i ended up walking into a local pharmacy at the end of the day to see if they had any extra. i got lucky. it did knock me out completely yesterday, which was a surprise because i didn't have a reaction to the first two. given that, though, and given the amount of interests that i had over the weekend, i'm wondering, because of omicron, are you seeing that from other folks you're talking to out there in times square? has there been a rush to get the booster shots? >> people i talked to were getting the booster today, katy, and there was a little bit of a line this morning, but other than that, it's been pretty steady. this is a testing facility as well as a vaccination site. new york is preparing whether or not omicron has been officially detected here yet. new york state is under a state of emergency starting this friday. all non-emergency procedures will be limited, and that is to help with hospital staffing, help with hospital supplies. new york mayor bill de blasio has instituted a

let's go to miguel, you're there in new york city. maybe less of a nail biter, but this is coming at a very critical time for new york city. >> reporter: yeah, look, this is a nail biter that will be the shock of the evening. i can say that, you know, the turnout today might play some roll in this election. brooklyn borough hall, which should be very, very busy right now. it is very, very, very not busy. these are all of the stations where one fills out their ballots and then over at the end of the room is where they actually scan them through. they only had about three dozen ballots scanned in over the last two hours that they have been open. this election, both candidates hitting on crime, housing, homelessness, those big issues that new yorkers are concerned with. and it features the vegan ex-cop against the cat-loving founder of the guardian angels, very colorful individual on the republican side, curtis sliwa running against adams. it is expected because it is such a democratic city, about 4-1 registration here that the democrat

new york city will be a champion. >> you've talked about some important issues obviously in new york city. although you and eric adams won your election, surprisingly a series of ballot issues that would have made it easier to vote lost or failed. how surprised were you by those results? what will it take for new york to modernize its voting laws? >> so i, you know, we worked really hard to bring in the consistency and my run was a catalyst for this new electorate to feel heard and to feel seen. so i will work really hard to push to make voter registration, to occur on the same day, to make it easier. so many folks who wanted to change their party affiliation didn't know why there were so many challenges. and so this has opened up an opportunity to do better around voter education and to prioritize language access and to prioritize bilingual organizers in this work to ensure adequate social and ballot education. council woman-elect, thank you and congratulations again on your historic victory. >> coming up, it's not often that i agree with nikki haley but i gets never say never. i gu

people say new york city is back. new york city's marathon is certainly back, as well. people did the restrictions in place. show a proof of vaccination or have a negative test before they run. some spectators wore masks but the enthusiasm, the cowbells back on. there's what the spectators had to say. >> it's great. like seeing the flags, the music. everything. like everyone is cheering for everyone so it's great. you are against the time and not like anybody else. >> i think it's crazy. the people cheering up, the people everywhere and it feels very nice to have the support for the runners. >> reporter: yeah. just in incredible. in 2019 the last time this marathon happened there were 50,000. this year 30,000 and started them in more waves for space. talking to the runners that's why they love it. they love it so much as you well know. 2:08 was the men's -- his time. >> wow. >> reporter: and yeah. just incredible times for both of the runners there. 2:08 the time there for that. fastest run. so much excitement, yasmin. >> think about that. 26.2 miles. it is incredible.

i got to say new york city was crazy. we'll be talking to mayor de blasio about this. you can tell foreign tourists were in town yesterday because the whole place exploded. it was very exciting to be in new york city and having actually taxi drivers complaining about the fact that traffic is worst now than it was before. >> the same with subway. >> and i am going all the way. >> i thought i bring this up for a reason. jean, everything i do is i do for a reason. talk about your lovely and beautiful talented wife, ava, i know she has an art exhibit that was halted for a long time because of covid. when is that going to become available? >> now scheduled to be in april. >> fantastic. >> i will give i exact date in a while and make sure everybody is informed when that happens. it's very exciting and what is christmas in new york without the millions of foreign tourists flocking your way on the sidewalk? >> it's not christmas. what is new york if you can walk down fifth avenue and so it's back. >> any immortal words? pretend it's a city. just don't stop. do you see that her

craig melvin here live from msnbc headquarters in new york city. this hour we are laser focused on the global effort to contain the new omicron variant. right now the cdc stepping up its booster guidance. forget the idea that you can get a booster. experts there are now saying you should get a booster. in just a few moments we're going to hear from dr. anthony fauci about those boosters. why he says even though they were created before this new variant even existed, they still offer you some protection here. critical information from one of our nation's top doctors in just moments. >>> also this hour, we're watching the white house. president biden set to speak. also set to sign three bills into law aimed at helping veterans. later this hour he will head out of to minnesota to continue his infrastructure sales pitch. we'll go live to the white house. >>> also happening right now, jury selection getting underway in the trial of a former minnesota police officer who is shown on body cam video shooting and killing a 20-year-old named dante wright. her

adams just the second black man in history to lead new york city. the nation's biggest. and tonight, he is promising to get things done his way. >> i'm going to be a broccoli mayor. not going to like it when you eat it but, long-term, you are going to see the benefits of it. >>> and the shocking allegation that's being made by the attorney for the armorer on alec baldwin's film. is sabotage to blame for the deadly accident?

it's on the ballot today in minneapolis and in new york city. but this is how we try and arrive at a different understanding of how we use the police. >> in many ways even try to start that conversation in a number of circles, errol. as we look, too, the other thing getting a lot of attention in new york city, vaccine mandates. we know that curtis, the republican, very much against bill de blasio's mandates in the city. adams mostly supports them. that, too, is sort of emblematic of what we're seeing around the country. yes. i would tell you, though, erica, i was a little surprised. i moderated a number of debates for local officers in new york city, and i was surprised at the extent to which whether opposing vaccine mandates became immediately pli ly politicized. mostly republican and conservative party candidates say that vaccine mandates are terrible. they say that they are pro vaccine but they're anti-mandate, in some ways a distinction without a difference. it's very surprising how quickly it became a rallying point for candidates. it seeme

new york city is 90% vaccinated. it's safe to be in new york. it's safe to come back into your office and into your building but maybe things are changing in a permanent way that we haven't fully grappled with yet. >> when you talk to business leaders privately, they will say i'm dyeing to get my employees back, not to crack the whip but because there's a difference between a business functioning and operating and optimizing. right when you think about that optimization for so many businesses, that's not happening. some tech businesses have said, guess what, we can work for home forever but for others there's a missing link. businesses are trying to solve for it. >> do we have a sense what the occupancy rate is across the hudson? >> it remains low and to get the hard numbers is difficult because you're not going to find people that want to share them. certainly not anyone who owns a building in this town. >> let's talk about the tale of two economies. you have outrageous numbers as far as people going back to work. i think adjusted gdp growth. t

at the worst height of the pandemic in the world in new york city, new york city firefighters and fire officers went to the -- >> address what i'm asking you here. >> i'm going to, yeah. >> the problem of being pro-vaccine and anti-mandate. >> well, we have -- again, we've been exposed to the virus very early on. many of our members got sick, and they have a high -- >> it's not the same. just today, the cdc is pointing to research that shows there is more consistent immunity when it comes to the vaccine than infection. that's not something you can hang your hat on. >> well, it's more consistent, but the osha has also come out with a standard that they can use vaccine and testing, which we've had previously to this mandate. our infection rate from that testing, we had over 6,000 tests, less than one-half of 1% of our membership tested positive. that's lower than the public's rate. so the vaccine and testing program we had previously has been working, so there is no reason to impose this mandate, especially when it wasn't negotiated and collectively bar bargained. >> 77% of fdny now vacc

former police captain eric adams elected as new york city mayor. we'll take a closer look at him next. what is it? so you can get to know your new granddaughter. we're so glad you're here. ♪ come on over! oh honey... she just needs some time. how was school? you ought to be very proud. i'm proud of you. here's another picture of your mommy. she smiled so hard, her front tooth popped out. goodnight grandma. did you call me grandma? ♪ >> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ since suzie's got goals, she'll want a plan to reach them. so she'll get some help from fidelity, and she'll feel so good about her plan, she can focus on living it. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. we're carvana, the company who invented car vending machines an

new york city mayor, remember, this was back in julian assange. the progressives lost that primary and then, of course, virginia a projected loss to the democrats. so i think there's going to be a lot of reflecting upon what happened last night, what's happened in the last few months. i think that there are a lot of voters who said, you know what, we want to pump the brakes on the democrats and progressives. let's take another look. we want more people moving towards the center of the aisle. >> harry, you're about to go to sleep. anything else before you go night-night? >> yes, i am about to go night-night. i have been awake 21 hours. look, the fact of the matter is the real only question left is new jersey. we pointed out the beginning of the segment. a far closer call for phil murphy than anyone thought it was going to be. it's pretty clear across the board in these races and something i didn't even mention, on long island, you see a bunch of democrats losing. this is not just one place where democrats are losing. we are seeing it up and down th

minneapolis, boston, buffalo, new york city, and atlanta. now, the races are a bellwether for where the democratic party stands on several critical issues including policing. joining me now, cnn's senior political analyst john avlon. john, good evening, sir. >> good evening. >> so all of the stuff that we talked about over the last couple years, policing, everything, it's all coming together tomorrow night. let's start with minneapolis because we know what happened over there. there was a huge debate over what to do with police in the wake of george floyd's murder. and then there's an amendment on the ballot that could end up replacing the city's police department with a department of public safety. is minneapolis putting defund the police to a vote? is that what this is? or am i wrong? >> i mean, basically yes. but i think it highlights what a disastrous slogan defund the police has been. because if you dig an inch beneath the surface folks say look, that's not really what it means. here's what the amendment would do. it would take the poli

new york city says all adults who want a booster shot should get one, bucking federal guidelines. could this help the u.s. get ahead of a winter wave of covid cases. >>> plus some detroit lawyers and housing advocates are ringing alarm bells. as many as 1 in 10 tenants facing eviction say they've been duped or rented houses they didn't actually own. hey didn't actually own. at t-mobile for business, unconventional thinking means we see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most. whether it's ensuring food arrives as fresh as when it departs... being first on the scene when every second counts... or teaching biology without a lab. we are the leader in 5g and a partner who delivers exceptional customer support and 5g included in every plan. so, you get it all, without trade-offs. unconventional thinking, it's better for business. i just heard something amazing! now for the first time one medication was approved to treat and prevent migraines. nurtec is the first and only option proven to treat and prevent migraines with one medication. onederful. one quick dissolve ta

york city and the tail end of new york city. washington, d.c. looks like the worse of it is just about ending, about now to 8:00 a.m., after that you should be fine. we track line of storm and torrential rain in fell yarks heaviest around 9:00 a.m. the new york city area from 9:00 a.m. to noon, strong winds and some collapses of thunder moving through. rain totals up to 2 inches. a lot of heavy rain in the northeast. the leaves are down now. we'll get localize street floodings and for boston 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. is the worst for you. in the midwest, we have semi blowing over. you have rain changing over to snow and temperatures getting cold. so you get the idea it will be a difficult day to be flying across the country when you automatic about major hub bike d.c., new york, and chicago. as far as wind gusts, they'll peaked today. your weekend forecast, unsettle weather to the northeast on saturday. you may get some football games on sunday and on saturday, joe, and the great lakes. it's that time of the year, we are talking about c

that is new york city. and he's i think enjoying being the winner right now and taking something of a victory lap. he doesn't seem to be in a rush. >> literally a victory lap. this has been a couple laps around the room and a couple laps around the stage while we've been watching. you never ever get that moment again, which is just before you give your first victory speech as new york city mayor. you only get this moment once in life. >> not only that it's like christmas eve, you know? it's better than anything. it's all expectation and hope and possibility. there's no burdens yet. you don't have to run new york city. >> his victory speech is perfect. >> by the way, i would still argue and no one will ever be be table to talk me down from this, new york city mayor is the greatest mayoral job in america. it's the most interesting. it's the most colorful. >> and hard as heck. >> and it's hard as heck. just the subway issue alone. >> i wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. >> me either. >> you think presidents g

then it's a nice rebound in time for the sunday new york city marathon. as we look toward monday and tuesday, 60s, 70s, above normal for this time of year as we kick off next week. we're also watching showers and storms in southeast florida. you're going to see localized flooding, even severe weather as we head into the later part of the day. watch out for that. that's going to track in wet weather and flooding for parts of the southeast on saturday. so your rainfall forecast especially in florida, we're looking up to even 3 inches in some spots. there's your coastal flood threat, moderate flooding, closed roads. that will be the story for your saturday. then your rainfall forecast in the pacific northwest, we're looking at high-elevation snow, near a foot in some spots, and generally 1 to 3 inches. looking good for bill karins and willie geist. the weather is cooperating. we're looking at temperatures in the upper 30s, low 40s, which is perfect for the marathon. >> yes, it is. my job is stand ag long the road cheering them on, maybe holding up a joe scar

new york city is crowded. the restaurants are full, bars, people are spilling outside, out front, and today on veterans day, we'll gather all different groups, all different supporters, veterans from as many wars as you can think of marching up fifth avenue to celebrate their service. i'll be there with operation mend out of ucla. i've been with them for ten years and can't wait to head out once we're done today. >> wonderful. >> that's excexciting. >> wonderful. >> willie, you use the same terminology i've always used in pensacola. i look left, right, man, this baby is bumping, right? >> it's cool. willie uses it right. you just sound weird. >> well, of course i do. lemire, is brooklyn bumping again? brooklyn is moving, right? again, it's almost like the marathon was the reopening of new york city. i mean, we can't believe how many people were there. i take it it's the same in brooklyn? >> i'm in washington these days at the moment, joe. you're right, certainly more life here in d.c. than there had been. flas

rory, the medical director in new york city. the expectation is the cdc panel is going to approve these shots for young kids. how big of a deal is it going to be that our children will be vaccinated going into the holiday season? >> the fda's decision to authorize emergency use at a lower dose for children ages 5 to 11 is a game changer. we know that mass vaccination amongst children has protected people in society for frankly hundreds of years. there's a reason why people like you and me didn't die from diseases caused by deadly viruses and bacteria. while covid-19, thankfully, is not as deadly as measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, it still will protect other children and adults who are vulnerable and immuno compromised. dr. walensky may be able to sign off by tonight, meaning the kids can get the vaccine as early as tomorrow. >> really quickly, for parents who are skeptical about their children being among the first to get it, what would you say to those parents? >> i understand. a common concern that i hear is it was rushed

so i'm watching and i was like wow, new york city looks like a hell hole there but i live in new york and walk around every day and it does not resemble what is -- you know. >> you know, sometimes political perceptions are little to do with reality. you can't fake shootings and murders and in new york or atlanta, they have been spiking. you may see short term declines but it's an issue back on people's minds and public safety is fundamental to people's quality of life. if you don't have that, everything else falls apart. >> very true. listen, during the pandemic, the crime was terrible. i'll get to atlanta. don't take that down. i'm not done with this part yet. thank you very much. so when -- you know, during covid, during 2020 it was high. as you said, it's going back down and it's still not great and also, i know people who were mugged and hadn't been mugged in -- hadn't been mugged in decades. so it's something very important to the people here in new york but i had been watching something like new york city does not look like the hell hole they're portraying it to be. >> no, we're

black mayor of new york city. the votes are still coming in. a little over 30% of the vote is in, and there's about a 50-point gap between adams. this is what was expected. new york is of course a very democratic city, but adams put together a very interesting coalition working class voters, union voters, voters of color, voters in the outer boroughs, he also ran not just on public safety. this is something he talked about a lot of his campaign. public safety is a prerequisite to prosperity, talking a lot also about that businesses are able to do businesses more easily cutting through the red tape. it seems like he did coming out on top. as i mentioned early on in the campaign, public safety was the center point of this race. eric adams as a former police captain himself talked often about how he was arrested as a teenager, he was beaten by the nypd, and he later joined the force to try to change it and reform it from within. while he's talked a lot about how policing is a tough job, he's also said we don't want t

so much happened, so much began on new york's lower east side. ♪ in the new york city of the '70s, nearly bankrupt, riddled with corruption, the lower east side, particularly alphabet city, was left to fend for itself. huge swaths of it abandoned, ruined, or simply empty. much of it became an open air supermarket for drugs. whole blocks taken over by organized drug gangs. rents were cheap, and the neighborhood started to attract a newer, highly energized and creative group of people who wanted to make things. music, poetry, movies, and art. ♪ it seemed at the time, everybody was a star. and for a while at least, that it was a golden time. but it was dangerous, you lived down here you had to be tough, and talented, and often very quick. now, things are different. very different. >> harley: okay, everybody together. ready. >> harley: okay, on three. 1, 2, 3. let's go. ♪ >> harley: so this is pretty much some of the last remnants of what the lower east side was kind of used to be like, you know? good old school, no elevator. >> anthony: but you didn't live in this building? >> harley: no

alarming for people in new york city. they say it could affect response times and not just the fire department but you have thousands of people within the nypd who are unvaccinated. you have sanitation workers unvaccinated. and none of those people are allowed to come to work today and not getting paid. the fire department outside this particular fire house the union leader showed up at 6:00 in the morning. >> that's our issue, is we only got nine days to comply with the mandate. the teachers got 30 days. corrections has december 1 as their date to comply. all we are asking for is extra time, to get time to file the religious and medical exemptions and get the vaccination if they so choose. >> reporter: so city leaders are accusing the unvaccinated firefighters of putting new yorkers at risk. they accuse the city leaders of putting new yorkers at risk. all eyes are on the response times and whether or not it is really going to affect whether you have fire trucks showing up in time. you also talk about the police, as well.

take a look at these new numbers from new york city. in just the two weeks since the mayor announced a mandate for all city workers, the number of police officers who got vaccinated jumped 70% and a 58% increase for firefighters. also today, the united states is lifting pandemic travel restrictions that have barred many international visitors since early last year. measures that have crushed revenue at hotels, retailers, restaurants, and of course, airlines. so let's discuss. julia ainsley joins us now and rahema ellis is at new york's jfk airport. help me understand this. i talk to fortune 500 ceos every day of the week and i haven't spoken to one who hasn't been in absolute support of vaccine mandates. even if this gets held up, is it really going to impact what's happening? >> i guess it depends on some of these republican attorneys in the courts here, stephanie. we know that republican attorney generals sued the biden administration and they have won in the fifth circuit. that's that very conservative circuit that also sided with th

we know this isn't just impacting cities like new york. other cities like chicago are dealing with this as well and you call mandates like this a reasonable request, so what is your reaction to what you just heard from paolo and his reporting here in new york city? >> well, first of all, i'm very glad that the vast majority of public workers in those cities are being vaccinated, but you're talking to a doctor here in our medical center. everyone from the custodian through the "c" suite has to be vaccinated and we do that because we think it's an ethical and human responsibility. i also firefighters and police to think of this as your responsibility. we're fighting a war against this virus. so far we've asked volunteers to roum their sleeves and fight and then the virus got re-enforced by delta and now our society is asking to draft people in. we're asking people to be obliged to do that. it's a societal contribution. it's ethical. it's professional. we all ought to get vaccinated shepard look, there's a lengthy amount of research at this p

cases a rise here in new york city. and mayor de blasio reencouraged people to wear masks in grocery stores, retail stores. and we know people already have to wear masks at public transit, in schools. so i talked to nbc medical contribuor doctor natalie azar and this is what she told me. >> this is probably the cycle that we'll be experiencing maybe forever. we may find out in two to three weeks that we can live with omicron. that if you have been vaccinated and boosted, you are still, you know, reasonably well protected and certainly well protected against severe disease. >> good news is here in the city about 77% of people of all ages have gotten at least one shot. we also know that the governor says statewide 90% of adults have gotten at least one shot. >> dr. gupta, i said it before, the white house said more than 96% of the 3.5 million federal workforce has already been vaccinated. that is great news. however, a judge blocked in ten different states the mandate for health care workers to get vaccinated saying vacci

this is bergen county, the largest county in new jersey just across the border from new york city. 51%, 52% if you round up right now for 2021. this is phil murphy. four years ago he won this county with 57%. they flatly rejected donald trump. it's more fertile ground now. four years ago, phil murphy gets 60% four years ago, down now to 56%. we'll move to virginia. with donald trump on the sidelines, republicans can make inres inroads in the suburbs. how did glenn youngkin pull this off? after donald trump won by ten points, how did he do it? number one, he managed the trump base. republicans came out in droves. they can recover the republican world dramatically in these small counties. a thousand votes here, a thousand votes there, that adds up. look here in south virginia and the capital in richmond. if you want to turn a dynamic in a state, you have to flip. this is the governors' race. he won everything down here. glenn youngkin was able to turn blue counties red and winning. close races are won in the northern virginia suburbs. glenn youngkin did not win loudoun county. you see it

look at new york city to just take one example. new york times reported in the 12 days when the mandate was force announce, and monday's deadline the vaccination rate shut up as many cities. the city's emergency medical services which operated ambulances, the vaccination rate jumped to 87% from 61. sanitation departments a vaccination rate jumped 20 points, to 82. the adult vaccination across new york city is at 86%. that is a pretty good boost in less than two weeks. brings those agency bases in line with the overall vaccination rate in the city. in fact, across all the city agencies, about 9000 employees have been placed on unpaid leave. that may scene like a lot. but keep in mind the city is over 3000 and 70,000 people on people. those 9000 people make up less than two and a half percent of the initial employees. i would've up police? well, fewer than three dozen uniformed officers have about 35,000 replaced on home paid leave on monday when the deadline expired. less than three dozen. 34 near cops were put on leave, out of 35,0

we're about to have the macy's thanksgiving day parade in new york city four days from now. should people be worried? should rules be changed? should security be different? >> one thing i do worry about -- actually, two things, is one is the idea of contagion. whether it has anything to do with this accident last night and the killing of these people, others might be thinking of an attack like this somewhere in the world. they get the idea, they see what happened, we see the media attention and then they try and replicate that. i think the other thing that i've been quite concerned about in many places, the dramatic increase in outdoor dining and that outdoor dining oftentimes is set in the middle of streets and roads. and just as someone who has worked counterterrorism a long time, i've had times where i'm just very concerned because imagine a restaurant which is completely out in the street or a lot of these structures which we put out into the street due to the pandemic, things are opening back up and i just worry about public safety in general and how we contain it. so a

new york city's vaccine mandate is officially in effect for the entire new york city workforce. more than 22,000 employees are still unvaccinated. the mayor says 9,000 of them are on unpaid leave starting today. and the city's first responders are some of the least vaccinated departments. one fifth of the entire fdny still hasn't gotten at least one shot by the city's friday deadline. now union heads are sounding the alarm about what staffing shortages could mean for quickly putting out fires or for saving lives. joining me now with the latest on the ground in new york city is nbc's kathy park. kathy, we have 20,000 unvaccinated, 9,000 not showing up for work today. what's the effect on staffing, firehouses, trash collection, which can very quickly become a problem in the city? >> reporter: hey, garrett, yeah, so union leaders for days now have been warning of the potential staffing crisis come monday when this vaccine mandate officially takes hold. but the mayor has assured new yorkers that things are moving ahead without any sort of issues. they've always had contingencies in
