relief bill. jillian: the senators are urging the president to support calls for bipartisan negotiation as one prominent democrat appears to dismiss them. congressman joins us now. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. jillian: we know democrats are talking about the potential for reconciliation. do you think they go ahead and do this without republicans or do you think there's an actual chance of getting this done in a bipartisan manner? >> well, i would hope that they would want to reach across the aisle and get something done that everybody could support but they're already setting up reconciliation. i heard senator sanders say a few things. so while i'm hopeful, i hold back a little bit thinking that this is going to go exactly a bipartisan way. todd: let's go through this. it seems focused to me, $600 billion in total, let's from through some of the highlights. you have the money for covid related issues, healthcare spending. you have the $300 per week

federal unemployment benefits through june. and then you have $1,000 stimulus payments. however, it's focused on individuals making $50,000, $100,000 for families. making sure it doesn't give money to those who are making $500,000 a year or something like that. wouldn't this plan accomplish the goal of helping those who absolutely need it the most with a much smaller price tag. >> absolutely. we need to focus on small businesses and individuals and workers that are suffering. we don't need to look at a broad-based, broad brush stroke to bail out states that made decisions in the past. this is a price tag that the biden administration has on this. it's going to put our kids into debt. they're talking $2 trillion for their bill. the best stimulus is a job where somebody can go to work and they can get that check every papered and move us forward. jillian: let's listen to what

bernie sanders had to say on sunday, get your reaction. >> the issue is not bipartisanship. the question is addressing the unprecedented crises that we face right now. if republicans want to work with us, they have better ideas on how you to address those crises, that's great. to be honest with you, i have not yet heard that. jillian: joe biden spoke so much about unity in the runup to the presidential election and even in the transition period and now as president biden he's still talking about unity but when you hear things like that, you wonder what's going to happen with unity over the course of the next few years if we're already at this point. >> it's very concerning. i actually heard senator sanders say these crises, not the covid-19 crises. i'd like him to define which crises is he talking about. because he's talking about climate and i know the president has signed executive orders that have eliminated jobs and we really need to pin them down on

what their definition of these crises are. todd: while we go back and forth and back and forth, the people that need this money desperately, the businesses that need the money desperately don't get it. we continue to wait. congressman fred keller, we'll have you back to get an update. hopefully it will be a good one. >> thank you, sir. they tried this before when they held up the stimulus that was ready in august and the speaker didn't run it until december, so they need to get off the dime and get things moving for the people that need it. jillian: congressman, thank you. and still to come, the pentagon pausing plans to vaccinate prisoners at guantanamo bay a new report shows the taxpayers spent millions of dollars. todd: new york city seeing a surge in shootings and homicide in 2020 but city council is now voting to reduce the nypd footprint. new york city councilman joe bay

>> the police are unhappy. the community is unhappy. the activists are unhappy. and all new yorkers are unhappy a because crime is going through the roof. the relationship has to be restored. police have to do their job. and the community has to feel respected. todd: new york governor andrew cuomo backing calls for police reform as the new york city council announces a sweeping bill package aiming to reduce the, quote, footprint of the nypd. here to react, new york city councilman, joe borelli and founder of the wounded blue

lieutenant, randy sutton. joe, the city council has tried to make it sound as benign as possible, reducing the footprint. in reality, what does this mean for new york city? >> well, let's start here. we totally shouldn't take their word for it that this is going to have no impact on the ability of the police department to protect us from crime. i mean, just look at the last year's worth of legislation that the council has already done, from reducing the head count to criminalizing cops for doing their job. i don't think we should trust what the city council and the body says will help police officers. this is only going to have the impact of making it more difficult for any member of the nypd to basically investigate, arrest and then bring a prosecution against a potential perp. todd: lieutenant sutton, let's look at the numbers. new york city violent crime in 2020 compared to 2019, it was a banner year last year for criminals in the big apple. homicides up 41%, shootings up

almost 100%. now let's look at what the new york city council wants to do to reduce the, quote, footprint and obviously the big thing that stands out, ending qualified immunity, investigating history of bias and requiring the confirmation of the commissioner. what will this do to the men and women on the street trying to keep our city safe? >> as we have seen, the policies put forth by de blasio, by cuomo have literally made the streets of new york city run red with blood. you look at what the city council is doing now, they may try to make it sound like it's benign but this is an outright power grab. this is all about politics. this has nothing to do with the safety of the citizens of new york. and the citizens should not be fooled by what they are seeing really placed before them right now.

remember, governor cuomo declared war on the police a number of years ago when he forgot the lessons of 9/11, when we determined that one of the reasons for the terrible attack was the fact that the federal government entities and local government entities were not talking to one another enough. what he has done is he has actually codified the tearing apart of those relationships. so governor cuomo is part of the responsibility. mayor de blasio has -- his incompetence in dealing with criminal justice has been absolutely incredible and now the city council wants to turn politics into policing. todd: joe, when the pandemic is done, are the people take left new york city because of the pandemic and their tax dollars going to come back to the big apple in light of these crime stats? >> no. look, for many years people are willing to pay a premium to live in a city that was once as great

as new york city was and unfortunately with the rising crime rates i think few are going to be likely to return. and it's a political problem and this is an election year for the mayor and city council. we have eight or nine or so avowed socialists running for the city council and they're probably going to win. i don't think this problem just goes away if this particular package of bills is squashed. i think this becomes a long-term direction for the city council and mayor. todd: and a vicious cycle that could continue on and on and on. joe borelli, lutheran di sutton, we appreciate -- lieutenant randy sutton, we appreciate you illuminating us on this. jillian: coming up, a 100-year-old world war ii veteran hospitalized with covid-19 after raising millions to fight it. an update on captain tom moore. plus, backlash to d.c. officials demanding permanent fencing

around the capitol while democrats fight the border wall. robert kelly reacts, next.

jillian: the acting chief of capitol police calls on congress to put permanent fencing around the capitol building, a recommendation that comes after four years of democrats saying walls don't work and days after president biden halted construction on the u.s. border wall. todd: this proposal met with resistance from both sides. who is right? former border patrol chief and retired acting i.c.e. director, ron patello joins us live. are the lawmakers who want the wall who didn't want the wall on the border, are they just flossing their hypocrisy to the rest of us, saying i don't care what happens at the southern border but i need to be protected? >> they sure are. what we know about walls is that they work. i was in the border patrol for

quite some time. walls work. agents know this. the data supports it. having a wall that protects the capitol, we would rather it not be fenced off from the public but if the chief and her team down there need that infrastructure to protect the capitol and the people who work in it, then let's do it. let's build it. it's a little bit of a double standard here when we can't use it on our southern border or many of the democrats don't want to fund the border wall but now they want a wall to protect themselves. jillian: you mentioned a bit of a double standard. i want to read two statements back to back. this kind of points it out. this is the statement from the capitol police chief. this is quote, in light of recent events i can say that vast improvements to the physical security infrastructure must be made to include permanent fencing and the availability of ready backup forces in close proximity to the capitol. compare that to president biden's executive order terminating the border wall construction.

it reads building a massive wall is not a serious policy solution, it's a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security. those are two vastly different statements and thoughts to be quite honest with you. is there a middle ground to be had here? it doesn't seem like it? >> there is. we never asked for a wall from brownsville all the way to san diego. we made requirements for infrastructure on the would deer. we made requirements for technology. we also like in the chief's statement made an account for more agents and so if you have those things in the right mix, you're going to have a secure -- a more secure area. that applies to the capitol and certainly applies at the border. the fence itself, the border, the wall, it protects the agents that have to work there. they're going to be there regardless and better for them to have that barrier, better for them to have better access and technology, the right training and the right equipment. the same thing applies for the capitol. if you have the right tools, the

right training, they'll better protect it including having a wall. todd: meantime, ron, a virginia county is prohibiting law enforcement from voluntarily sharing information with i.c.e. here is their new policy. it prohibits voluntary information sharing with i.c.e., subjects employees to discipline for not of complying with the order, requires revisions to county forms to ensure certain personal information is not requested. with more and more laws like this being passed, not just in the county, but around the country and with joe biden in the white house with his executive orders on immigration, are you worried that the threats to eliminate i.c.e. are getting closer and closer to reality? >> it is not a good idea for any jurisdiction including fairfax county not to cooperate with i.c.e. who are they protecting here? they're protecting people who came into the country illegally and then were arrested or of encountered by the police department because they did something against the law.

and so why wouldn't they want to share that information with i.c.e., whether voluntary or formal task force mechanisms, et cetera. it makes us all safer when the police and federal agencies including i.c.e. cooperate together. it makes the communities safer, reduces the strain on the border. it's a bad idea for these jurisdictions to protect criminals who are in the country illegally. todd: to my question, is this the beginning of the end of i.c.e.? >> it remains to be seen. there's obviously and ideology out there that says we don't want to do immigration enforcement anymore. we've seen this administration go a little bit soft at the border on immigration enforcement. so it remains to be seen what the new policies are going to be. i'm not hopeful. i don't think that -- there's a requirement here to protect the american people. we all want a secure border and an immigration system that has integrity and so we need to continue to ask for a representative to give us that.

jillian: there's a difference between what some see as protection that's necessary and not. we're going to continue to follow it. ron, thank you as always. good to see you. >> good to be with you. todd: we are also monitoring this fox news alert. the u.s. is calling on the burmese military to release the pro democracy leader and officials detained in overnight raids. the takeover is reportedly over the military's claims of voter fraud in last november's election. secretary of state anthony blanken saying in part, quote, the united states stands with the people of burma in their aspirations for democracy, freedom, peace and development. the military must reverse these actions immediately. jillian: jared kushner and his former aide are nominated for the nobel peace prize. attorney alan dershowitz nominated the pair for their work on peace deals between israel and arab nations. kushner says he is honored to be

nominated for the prize. the u.s. is being warned to brace for the spread of the u.k.'s variant of covid-19. todd: benjamin hall joins us live from london with the latest developments. ben. >> reporter: good morning, todd and jillian. hospitalizations in the u.k. have been soaring. deaths have also been soaring. and the great fear is that in the u.s. if the vaccination program isn't sped up, the same could happen there. 467 cases of the u.k. variant have been found in the the us you across 32 states so far. it is thought the real surge will happen in the next six to 14 weeks, based on how it spread in the u.k. the u.k. is currently hospitalizing twice as many people as the u.s. has ever done even in the entire number and that's with a population five times smaller. the vaccination program needs to be sped up. >> telling people to evacuate in a nice blue you sky day is going to be hard. i can tell you that hurricane is coming. we're not going to deny anybody their second dose.

we know if we get a number of first doses in people, particularly 65 years of age and older, we can do a lot to reduce the number of serious illnesses and deaths in the next big surge which is coming. >> reporter: about 50 million vaccines have been distributed in the u.s. so far. it is that crucial second dose which is so essential. the moderna vac signs 80% -- vaccine is 80% effective after one dose. it's not just the u.k. variant, there's the south african variant. the u.k. variant is more transmissible. the south african one is considered to give a more severe illness. that is headed toward the u.s. jillian: binge medicine -- benjamin hall, thank you. todd: the pentagon pausing the plan to give the vaccine to guantanamo bay detainees. the press secretary tweeting no detainees have been vaccinated.

we are pausing the plan to move forward. all this as it is revealed more than 161 million taxpayer dollars, your money, has been spent housing 9/11 mastermind for the past 17 years. a lieutenant colonel who lost his brother in the 9/11 attacks will join us with his reaction coming up next hour. jillian: a dramatic rescue you to save a baby after a police chief ended a crash in pennsylvania. watch this. [sound of sirens] [dogs barking] jillian: oh, my gosh. look at this. an officer diving into a car window to get an 8-month-old infant that was inside the flipped car. police arresting the driver after he led them on a chase. officers say the suspect refused to pull over after making threats to harm his child. police say the baby is okay.

oh, my gosh. that's hard to watch. i mean, that's -- it's incredible that they were able to do that but that's frightening. todd: unbelievable. still ahead, an iconic california highway collapsing, a look at the incredible damage and what caused it, coming up.

todd: we are back with some extreme weather. overnight, the nor'easter barreling down on the east coast. jillian: lauren johnson from our fox affiliate in fill delvea joins us live. we know it's kind of quiet right now. you have a dog with you. hi. >> reporter: come on, girl. i could not talk to you this morning without having a dog in the live shot. you're a new puppy parent. we'll talk about her in a second. i have a tip for you. todd, good morning to you as well. we talked to you guys about a

month and-a-half ago. it was a much different scene. the street was covered with a sheet of ice. we are in a lull right now. here in philadelphia, officials are trying to warn people, don't come out and think this is all over. we had snow start falling yesterday at around noon. it fell pretty much all day, steady, not a lot. if you look over here at the sidewalk, you can see it's not much touched over there, maybe an inch and-a-half or two. we have been told from our weather authority here in philadelphia at fox 29, we could get an inch every hour this afternoon. so things are going to get much worse for us. but we are really just kind of quiet right now and maniok is one of the places we come because it's hilly over here. we try to come and check out the conditions to see just how bad it is. jillian, you've got a new dog, girlfriend. so this is a puppy's first snow, right. here's the deal. this little creature named diamond hates the snow on a normal day.

now, i came across this and i wanted to tell you about it. it's not an ad. i don't know who the company is. but it's like a little deodorant stick. it's for their paws and it protects the conditions for like hot pavement, cold pavement, salt, freezing ice and rain. get some for your puppy before you take that walk. jillian: that's a good tip for all the pet owners out there. lauren, thank you. todd: just review. i like puppies too. i want to make that clear. >> reporter: i didn't know if you had a new dog. i keep up with jillian. todd: i can put that on my new baby in case with put her in the snow and have her crawl. not going to happen. lauren, thank you so much. members of the new york young republicans are reoccupying wall street, demanding accountability in the wake of the gamestop trading debacle. >> they want us to bail them out, they want janet yellen to make phone calls to them, they want to shut down trading. are you kidding me? if you did anything like that in your day job you would be fired

and on the street. these [bleep] in wall street, they can do whatever the hell they want to do with no repercussions. jillian: carley shimkus is here with the protesters' demands. good morning. carley: good morning, guys. how about this for a throwback with a different political twist, this time it's members of the new york young republicans club who gathered to protest wall street over the gamestop stock debacle. their anger fueled by robinhood's decision to stop trading on gamestop and other funds. the ceo of robinhood said it was a totally independent decision, not fueled by anybody but themselves. take a listen. >> our decision to temporarily restrict customers from buying certain securities had nothing to do with a market maker or a market participant. it was entirely about market

dynamics and clearing house deposit requirements. carley: robinhood hit with that class action lawsuit over this whole thing. as for this protest, very different than the 2011 occupy wall street protest which turned into the pseudo homeless encampment. these folks were out for about two hours. todd: quite a difference. meantime, when you need joe manchin to pass some of your signature legislation, you might want to take a different path in trying to woke him. kristin: listen to this. vice president kamala harris did an interview with a local west virginia radio station, or of tv station, rather, and the topic of the conversation was coronavirus relief. but senator man chin is now upset saying he wasn't told about the interview in advance and sees it as a bit of a slight and appears to be complaining about the fact that the biden administration isn't working with folks on the other side of the aisle or at least people who disagree with their covid-19

relief bill. here's senator joe manchin who holds the very important swing vote on the harris interview. take a listen. >> i saw it. i couldn't believe it. no one called me. we're going to try to find a bipartisan pathway forward. i think we need to. we need to work together. that's not a way of working together. carley: manchin is part of a bipartisan group of senators who are pushing back on the biden administration's relief plan that, don't like the $1,400 check portion. they think the funding should be more targeted. jillian: someone who spent so much time and effort into raising millions of dollars for covid relief has it similar self. carley: we're talking about captain tom moore in the u.k., he raised millions of dollars for coronavirus relief. he's 100 years old, world war ii veteran. his daughter released a statement, saying he's been hospitalized with covid-19 i'm self, on twitter saying i want

to update everybody that today my father was admitted to the hospital. he was at home with us until today. then he needed additional help with his breathing. we are of course focusing on my father and will update you when we are able to. well, u.k. prime minister boris johnson even posting a tweet in response, saying my thoughts are very much with captain tom moore and his family. you've inspired the whole nation and i know we are all wishing you a full recovery. he raised about $40 million for covid-19 relief by doing 100 laps around his garden over the summer before his 100th birthday and there is queen elizabeth knighting him over the summer as well. jillian: we wish him nothing but the best. todd: prayers for him. jillian: thank you, carley. todd: take a look at this drone video of where california's pacific coast highway collapsed into the ocean. huge sections of the roadway crumbling after torrential rainstorms on friday. officials say they're assessing

the damage there. no word when the highway will be fully repaired. jillian: that's incredible. todd: still ahead, la county lifting the outdoor dining ban but now business owners face new restrictions like no tvs to air the super bowl. jillian: it's crazy. two bar owners who say the rules are hurting their bottom line, they join us live, next. ♪ hey now, you're an all star. ♪ get your game on, go play. ♪ hey now, you're a rock star. ♪

jillian: good morning. welcome back. los angeles is finally lifting outdoor dining restrictions but as owners rush to reopen, there's still one catch, no tvs which is a big problem for super bowl weekend. joining us now co-owners of 818 brewing, brian and jared olson.

i want to read you a statement from the county public health director. it reads, we know that super bowl sunday is coming up. we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. it would be tragic if the super bowl becomes a super spreader of coronavirus. brian, what is your reaction to that? >> it kind of goes with the whole theme of what the scan aty health department has done all year. they are a regulatory agency, not scientists and they have made up their own rules and it hurts not just our business, every bar and restaurant in the area. jillian: derek, this seems so ridiculous, right? you can have outdoor dining but you can't have your tvs on in the background. >> the goal here is to prevent the spread of the virus. what's going to prevent it more, by allowing bars that are already in operation and under these regulations to operate correctly at the right spacing and wearing face shields for all

the servers, all the rules they've instituted in the past, or to say no, you guys can't have tvs, we don't want people going to your establishments and everyone to gather at their homes indoors without any restrictions. jillian: that's what people are going to do and that's what people have been doing, gathering indoors. brian, how many times have you guys had to reimagine or redevelop your business plan to go along with all of the restriction that's have changed so many times? >> lost count. going back to march. i would say probably at least five, six times where we've had to reengineer and one of the main things, the last two shut downs, the regulations don't come out on time. we were told on friday that we could open. regulations didn't drop until 10:00 a.m. businesses don't know what they can or can't do. it makes it tough.

we fought through. it kept us going. jillian: how much money have you spent since last march, trying to reconfigure your plans? >> we put in a production line to start canning our beer which is nothing that we have anticipated doing. we dropped over $200,000 on that. and probably at least a good 10 or 15,000 into the tent, restructuring our outdoor operations and communication with our food vendor. jillian: wow. and now the biggest -- one of the biggest sporting events of the year, the super bowl coming up, people want to have a drink, watch a football game, have some food and they're not even going to be able to do that. do you guys have a final message to elected of irnls out -- officials out there? >> support local business. this whole year everything has been pushed on us, that we're doing something wrong. la county, we're the fuel behind

the economy. we have the small business hubs, support us. >> we're the biggest ref few generator in -- revenue generator in california, the service industry. you're hurting everybody in the state and you can see it from the homeless problem on the street to all of these recent businesses, we need to get back to normal. jillian: derek and brian olson, thank you very much. we wish you nothing but the best. keep us updated. todd: those are hard working folks in the valley. good luck to them. coming up, new reforms in la could put a cop killer back on the treatment his widow says she wants the da recalled. she is going to join us live, next.

those who do not report to work and i hate to even go there, but we're going to have to take action. todd: it is monday, february 1st. chicago's back to school battle heating up, mayor lori lightfoot ordering all educators back to the classroom after negotiations with the teachers union stalls. will we see a strike? jillian: hunker down and stay home, a massive nor'easter pummeling the northeast right now. we track the storm as cities prepare. todd: republican senators headed to the white house to talk covid relief. the democrats' promise of unity appears to be
