when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews. the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food.

impeachment runs against the history, i am a litigator, was a litigator, it breaks down separation of powers. congress and the president, relationships in the future and one of the disappointments is every lawyer, every congress has lawyers, every one of them had constitutional law, it wasn't incitement. the first is the senate dismisses the case which would be smart because the nation will be further divided by a trial. the second option is chief justice steps in and decides this is a moot issue which he could do and the third is we go to trial. if we go to it right away, the article is delivered right away and voted at the house, now rests with the senate, the legislative agenda the president biden would bring forward, we have a delay in the nominations,

a scheduled for the nineteenth, as a dartmouth grad, what you do is drag the nation further into extended division and the united states is weekend divided from within, china, iran and north korea, somehow we are vulnerable. it is not smart politics, snap judgments generally made on email motion tends to be poor and affecting the constitution, turning impeachment into a no-confidence vote, in some ways it will undermine respect for the first amendment, every american has to feel vulnerable and undermine bipartisan nature president biden would like to be

commenting. todd: your answer highlighted the political and legal aspect. i want to slant political right now. if i am sitting here and i am joe biden, and get my agenda put in place i don't nancy pelosi to delay and tell the senate to slow roll this. will that happen? >> i would go a step future and the statement is been made, the damage to the constitution has been done. i would go to the senate and encourage republicans and democrats to put this behind them, to move to dismiss or encourage the chief justice to do that. it is a sword of damocles, it will erode the chance for bipartisan support not just on

nominees a good nominees out there, i know tony lincoln but it is a situation where you create consensus. what we need is greater consensus not just around ending political violence and working together. that's what founders want to do. >> >> we appreciate changing the narrative on that. and new jersey jim owners from october orders. >> we have no money in our bank account. every single dollar we have, a blatant violation. jillian: they are not backing down, we will be right back next.

>> and define covid-19 orders facing an even bigger uphill battle. and $170 from the bank account. >> we have not charged member since april 1st. to pay our bills and fight our legal bills, it is a clear and blatant violation of constitutional rights and ability to defend ourselves in a court of law. >> all future fund the general collects will be transferred into cash, tweeting if you think

that will make a stand down your delusional. governor andrew cuomo temporarily allowing a dining in parts of new york under orange zone restrictions, the move follows the state supreme court granting of a pulmonary injunction to a number of restaurants who sued over the designation. those areas will operate under these until court proceedings are involved. orange zone to new york city will not be impacted. the governor's offices of strongly disagrees with the decision and is reviewing it. in the next hour we speak to one of the business owners responsible for that ruling. todd: president-elect joe biden unveiling the covid-19 rescue plan calling on congress to spend $2 trillion. >> the crisis of suffering is in plain sight. we have to act and we have to act now. to return on these investments, racial equity will prevent

long-term economic damage and the benefits far out to pass, far surpass the cost. todd: heritage foundation research fellow joel griffin joins us with what this could mean for your family. here are the key components of the plan. we will pop them up for the viewer and i will highlight the standout, $400 per week increasing unemployment benefits, $1,400 stimulus checks. as for the cost of all this, the two things that stand out to me on this full-screen are the $350 billion in state and local government territorial government and the money for a more focused approach to vaccination. he review is this narrowly tailored enough to get money to those who need it most? >> this plan is not nearly tailored. this is another example of massive federal spending and

much is wasteful spending, on the shoulders of future generations. talk about stimulus checks, we are giving stimulus checks to tens of millions, action will be gainfully employed and focusing a little cash on checking account, we are borrowing that from future generations. we know that in the past 6 months they took several of these, people receiving the money and most are saving money because you can't go out and spend it how you usually would because businesses are closed. follow the lead to georgia, idaho, florida and you are seeing a v-shaped recovery, economy that is bigger than it was pre-pandemic and places like california and hawaii are pressured to because they are shutdown. todd: what should biden push for instead? >> we need liability protection for businesses that are safely

reopening to allow them to escape the wrath of trial lawyers looking to make a quick buck and we need targeted temporary aid, people who are impacted in service sectors. a lot of bars and restaurants haven't opened. this is a state issue. states that every opened are seeing an economic boom and things like a white, new york, california, are still in the midst of the worst recession of our lifetime. todd: we are seeing some of those democrat run areas coming around and only the trend continues. and and $2,000 to $5,000 annually for new yorkers, to get that money. >> new york 7 under the leadership of mayor the blasé.

thousands, restricting civil rights, the riots in downtown, so many storefronts empty, some of them permanently. it is ironic if you go to miami, talk to so many people, refugees from manhattan. welfare for all is not the solution and as likable as andrew yang is, welfare for all, universal basic income would not bring new york city to life. steve: new york city with a $1.8 billion budget deficit. the issue seems to be even if yang does do these things with universal basic income he may be the best option on all the candidates for new york city mayor because at least he knows how to run something and bill diblasio has never given an indication he could run anything other than his city into the ground.

an interesting dichotomy we face in the primaries. what do you think? >> absolutely right. you have a mayor who had an affinity decades ago, he is with shake of our of the revolutionary and has a liking for karl marx. going back to florida. for 60 years people fleeing to the south, ruled by a regime that represses economic opportunity and people fleeing ireland from the north in search of economic freedom and wealth. mayor diblasio brought so much grief to one of the world's best cities, we need to see a change. i would like to see candidates propose things other than welfare all to restore vibrancy to such a wonderful city. todd: have a great weekend, appreciate your time. jillian: still to come, the fbi issues a new security warning putting major cities on alert and sending dc into total

selling our policy could help with our retirement. i'm skeptical, so i did some research and called coventry direct. they explained life insurance is a valuable asset that can be sold. we learned that we can sell all of our policy or keep part of it with no future payments, who knew? we sold our policy. now we can relax and enjoy our retirement as we had planned. if you have one hundred thousand dollars or more of life insurance you may qualify to sell your policy. don't cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it's worth. visit conventrydirect.com to find out if you policy qualifies. or call the number on your screen. coventry direct, redefining insurance.

gatherings, domestic violence extremists will likely increase, leads me to the question is our biggest threat nowadays here at home or is our biggest threat overseas? you have people overseas watching what is happening in the united states and they could try to take advantage of that. >> there are threat overseas but the fbi made clear countering terrorism including here at home is the number one priority. they put out a few bulletins like this through the fall but what they are telling us now is going into overdrive. they want to be sure to keep track of domestic violence extremists and this may not end on january 20th but continue through 2021. jillian: do you think our biggest threat is here at home? >> we need to take, taking great caution overseas as well with rumblings from iran and north

korea, very much focused on everything at home. we see a massive national guard presence coming into dc, never seen anything like this. everything is taking this seriously as we prepared to find loan actors to disrupt the orderly transfer of power. jillian: what is going on behind the scenes and making sure all states in the country are safe, that day itself and even beyond? >> that is the big change, fbi and local law enforcement, that they have gone into overdrive. no longer a matter of watching a protest and saying there is some ugly speech but that is okay. they have really now said we are going to look at, identify, and try to find known actors and

have great with article criteria for picking out homegrown extremists and left-wing activist who was at the capital. they know how to watch these people online in particular and they will do that everywhere, that is on alert to make sure everyone is cooperating and taking these threat indications very seriously. jillian: this is a left-wing activist charged with a capital riot. he posted a video on youtube and twitter, let's go ahead and watch a portion of it. >> we got to burn them [bleep] >> he goes on to defend himself saying i have to relate to these people and the short amount of

time to get where i need to go. your reaction to that. >> shows how thin the line between left and right when people cross over into violence, and this tells you you post something online, your active online, they have years of experience, tracking them at home, they will get you. jillian: makes you wonder why things online, they don't get caught but who knows? doctor rebecca grant, appreciate your time. todd: the supreme court's, to take place, corey johnson died by lethal injection after he was convicted of 7 murders of virginia in 1992. before he died johnson said he

weather in another section of the country. that is the key. look at it now. we have wind warnings for many states behind the system, high wind warnings for the plane states, not only the risks for winter storms but the blizzard, we have red flag warnings in effect, wildfire danger across the plane states. blizzard warnings and parts of the dakotas and iowa, wisconsin towards missouri and that means heavy snowfall but with that very strong winds for an extended duration of time so traveling will be next to impossible, and the potential for power outages. the storm as it moves eastward across the ohio valley, the interior northeast will get some snow as we get into the weekend and some areas could receive 48 inches, isolated spots over a foot. this will set the table for what is to come.
