about on monday, stay home. carley: new york's three major airports have canceled 75% or more of flights scheduled for today. the city is also rescheduling vaccination appointments for seniors. now, the storm caused headaches for travelers up and down the coast with storm shoppers in new jersey forced to dig into their cars. the national weather service says the state could see up to 30 inches. in virginia, slippery conditions caused this fire truck to flip over. all four firefighters inside escaped thankfully without injury. virginia state police say they responded to more than 360 car crashes ba between midnight and 9:00 p.m. on saturday. things were slightly better in the nation's capitol which has seen only a few inches so far. it is still d.c.'s heaviest snowfall in nearly two years. the storm came in from the midwest where it dropped 13 inches of snow in parts of chicago.

the heavy snowfall forcing the roof of a building to collapse into some cars. thankfully no one was hurt there as well. many cities have already declared a state of emergency as snow continues to fall as you can see. it's coming down pretty hard right here outside fox news headquarters in new york city. brian: nothing you can't handle, carley, i'm convinced. carley: thanks for the confidence. it. brian: meanwhile japan miss dean all over. this one of the few people not surprised by the snow. she has been telling us about this for days. janice? janice: the snowfall total also be really impressive especially around the new york city area where some of the heaviest bands are going to set up this afternoon and have very strong winds and some blizzard conditions especially maybe for parts of long island up towards new england. so there is the storm right now. take a look at it. now, for the philadelphia area we have that credited freezing rain are sleet line that's going to cut back on some of the snowfall totals i think in

philadelphia. in new york, it's all snow. it's going to be all snow throughout the day today. we have the cold air in place and in some cases close to two feet of snow. that would be the most snowfall around the new york city area in five years. winter weather advisories are posted but i wouldn't be surprised to see some blizzard warnings later on today as some of those wind gusts off the coast will be near hurricane force. we will keep you up to date. steve, ainsley, brain, back to you. steve: it is dangerous. if you can, stay home, and watch tv. j.d., thank you. meanwhile mark meredith, our correspondent is live in washington, d.c. as 10 orepublican senators are set to go to the white house for a meeting with joe biden. mark? >> good morning to you. the snow is not going to stop president biden from sitting down with senate republicans later today about the best way to talk about the way to stimulate the economy. handful of republicans had requested this face-to-face meeting. they requested a covid they want the 1.9 trillion-dollar price

tag reigned in. they want to spend $600 billion overall. a thousand dollars stimulus checks phased out by income levels pretty quickly. also extend the enhanced unemployment benefits. also offer up more money for food assistance programs. >> we are targeted to the needs of the american people. treating our tax dollars as if they are our tax dollars not just money to spend. and putting it where we need to come out of the pandemic. will. >> democrats, including senate budget chair bernie sanders so far not thrilled with republicans' efforts to tracy both the pandemic and recession. >> if republicans want to work with us, they have better ideas on how to address those crises, that's great. but to be honest with you, i have not yet heard that. >> democrats may also have trouble selling smaller packages to supporters. d mg treat tweeted this on saturday. stimulus is a down payment on the total of $2,000 direct payments. remember there was a lot of talk about sending individual checks

for 2,000. that tweet generated all sorts of negative feedback with some accounts calling it pathetic. others saying if they don't mail out $2,000 checks. the democrats could lose their majorities in the midterms. steve, ainsley and brian. a lot of people wanting to know if they are going to get a check or not. steve: exactly. interest. ainsley: #biden lied because he from $2,000 checks. he just added it 1400 to the 600. at. ainsley: the 600 came from the trump administration people want 600 in addition to the biden hundred. that's why it was trending. it rick scott looks like bipartisan invited all of these republicans to the white house nice to sit down and hear both sides. when you hear bernie sanders say we are going to push this through. we could use reconciliation. bipartisan is not as important as getting this money out and getting this relief package. we have the votes on the democratic side to pass this through. rick scott was saying we just can't afford it and this is just

pay back to the liberal left. listen to this. >> this is all being led by bernie sanders who is now the democrat head of the budget committee. this is all bernie sanders idea of where we should go. republicans believe in targeted relief. this radical left agenda that is not worried about the fact we have $27 trillion for the debt. not living close to our means. this makes no sense. this is payback to the liberal left whether they say they don't care if the republican votes for this. that's not working with republicans. and so he is just saying they are going to, you know, push this radical left agenda, you know, across the finish line, it's going to hurt american families because their taxes are going to have to skyrocket. brian: you know, nothing rick scott said that's not true. later on in the afternoon when the 10 republicans release their plan and comes to up $600 billion. direct payments of $1,000.

want it more targeted. caps of 50,000 for an individual. 100,000 for families. 4 billion to bolster behavioral and substance abuse services. okay with that 160 billion for vaccine development distribution. but can we forget things that have nothing to do with it like transit. forget things like $5 minimum wage because has nothing to do with covid-19 relief. keep in mind we spent $4 trillion throughout the pandemic? can we understand what rick scott just said that we canterbury ourselves in the will future. it this is money we don't have. we don't know what it's like you go into overdraft and money on frnget as a country we should collectively be feel the stress. what i also thought was key was this guy named joe manchin, as bernie sanders says every democrat is going to go along with this. bernie sanders probably doesn't know how to get ahold of joe manchin. he was sitting in west virginia and saw the vice president of the united states a couple days ago giving an interview to the local station saying we're going to go without republicans. and she says i saw that interview is. i couldn't believe it.

no one called me. try to find a bipartisan pathway forward. that doesn't sound like a guy sign off on a socialist who makes sure everyone gets their money and the rich pay their fair share. steve: maybe we will end up actually seeing some bipartisan on negotiation. brian: my hope. steve: the it republicans are 600 billion. the democrats are saying 1.9 trillion. maybe they will meet in the middle somewhere. yesterday jared berntsen the white house economic says people could care less about the budget process reconciliation or regular orders. really, when it comes down to it, ainsley, to your original point. the average american just cares about that check. they are going to get a check in the mail. they don't care how they get it. ' all right. meanwhile. talk a little bit about what is going to go. we saw chicago had a big snow storm yesterday and it was storming over the bargaining table. regarding the teacher's union.

as you know, they have had some problems out there, teachers will not come back because of covid concerns. well, yesterday the mayor made it very clear. issued an you will may tim. here it is regarding teachers and today. >> all teachers, pre-k through 8 and cluster teachers must report. if you do not have approved accommodation, we expect to see you back in class. those who do not report to work, and i hate to even go there, but we'ring are going to have to take action. let's avoid that. steve: what would the action be? it's quite substantial. apparently, if they don't show up by today, they will have their google suite cut off at 5:00 today. so essentially they will not be able to be teachers in chicago. the teacher's union says that will lead to a strike, ainsley. ainsley: yeah, they say it will go to the house of developings f

that happen. some of these teachers don't feel safe. lori lightfoot says if you have a medical condition and approved to stay at home, we understand that not all teachers can stay at home. at the very beginning of this i remember we were all so nervous about it and doesn't want our children exposed and didn't have the answers. in april and may we were gladly zooming and doing remote learning be your kids. it didn't have a choice. nice from a parent's perspective sit back and listen to what they teach my daughter in school and really get to know her teachers. but then throughout the summer everyone is like why hope we are going back to school and pray we're going back to school. those of us blessed enough to have our kids back in school so grateful. grateful to the teachers realize teachers our our heroes. my sister was a teacher. grateful. 's what's happening in chicago is hard. people open up and we learned how to do it safely.

steve: chicago, ainsley the catholic schools are have been open since fall. ainsley: we have a guest coming up. amy jacobson it. she said out of the 130 religious schools there has not been one reported teacher student transmission. this union is not putting our kids first. instead, focusing on political agenda. brian: here is what the teacher just said. put that tweet up for a second. teacher's union. chicago public schools bargaining team was instructed not to attend negotiations today unless our teachers clinicians, nurses, librarians and other rank and file educators are prepared to make major concessions. meanwhile the chicago public school system as a fact check told by chicago's union leadership they were unavailable that is a repeat of exactly what i just said. so, basically what we are looking at this. they have a deadline, just don't tell me that you care about minorities, hispanic and african-american kids because they are suffering the most. the stats by far they will have the hardest time to roar. they don't for the most part, sadly have the wherewithal and

the high speed interpret to be able to keep up. these kids are getting lost in the system. it's to the to be kids first. the rest of illinois is going back to school. just not there. i think the number is, in terms of cases. i think it is down in illinois 70% of coronavirus cases. get back to school. of the system that i'm in right now is not overrun with cash. but for the most part you find out it the kids that tested positive in school. that school, that class is isolated. everyone gets an email throughout the whole town, and then they find out what school is open. what isn't, and for how long. it's been working for the last few months. this isn't about money. and if it is about money, get a press conference together and say my it problem is the ventilation. we will fix it. people that bring the bake sales and the garage sales for all these school systems on daily basis, might be underfunded. funding is not the problem. here is laurel golden of the chicago school system. she is a parent. and she is extremitily upset.

>> they want to be in school. they want to be with their friends. i don't know how to explain it to them so that they can understand. they have it who live in the suburbs. they have been going to school since september. all day every day. one of my little ones today he asked me yesterday do i have to do remote learning again or are we actually going to school? i'm like i'm sorry you have remote learning. he said i don't want to do that anymore. there is a way to get the schools open and to have it be open safely. and the children see that and they just don't understand why their teachers don't want to come back to the table and negotiate and get the schools open. it it's affecting the entire family. brian: biden says we have to get the kid back to school. comes down gets questions to jen psaki and others they don't double down and say i'm disappointed what's happening in chicago. disappointed because we have done everything that's been asked. i'm keeping a close eye on it. skate around it. working things out and doing. this no you are not working things out. another day going by and they

are not if there school. steve: brian, you are mice missing a dynamic that a lot of people across the country don't understand. that is the fact that the union and lower light foot hate each other. and it goes back to her election. because they, the union actually endorsed her opponent. and they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to make sure she was not the mayor. fast forward to today and she is the mayor. all right. it let's talk a little bit about we have been talking over the last 72 hours a lot about game stop stock as you can see right there. it has gone up 1545% since january the 12th. and because there was such a run on the stock the wig professional and institutional and hedge fund leaders lost their shirt, essentially. one company melvin capital, a hedge fund lost 53% on all of their investments in january in

one poster from one of the amateur posters said only 47%? let's go. so, anyway, fast forward to today, how is robinhood, the trading app., where so many of these people have been traded, how are they going to react? we know they stopped trading last week. well, now they are going to just really restrict -- they had restricted stock sales on 50 different companies. enough to it's down to i think just 8, including game stop, ams, some of these organizations you have seen in the past. are what they are doing is trying to limit them. what's interesting is it all comes down to it's a war between the professionals on wall street and these amateur investors who touring the pandemic people are doing a lot of day trading and things like that. last night, chuck schumer, the majority leader, tweeted out last night. he said we cannot have a stock market where players are also refs. the it will fec and game stop

must happen asap. so washington has taken note, ainsley. ainsley: josh hawley weighed in on this. the republican from missouri. >> these day traders retail investors they have been subjected to more criticism and more scrutiny by the wall street types than the people who single single-handedly crashed the financial system in 2008 and then got bailed out by the government. it's incredible double standard. they vehicles posed that double standard. and it goes back to concentrated power. whether it's on wall street, whether it's with tech. we need to go after it. and we need to let every day folks have their share, have their power. that's what the constitution says. we the people. if. ainsley: so eight of the companies are still restricted. it was 50 as you said. the ones that are lifted to it american airlines, starbucks, g.m., bed, bath and beyond: when it comes to game stop five

shares one options of. steve: you already have to have game stop stock are bine brian last time i had a tootsie roll i had to ice my jaw. is it ever fresh. steve: cool outside. brian: interest i don't know what happened to that. i don't know. ainsley: still around. brian: we used to advertise it a lot. g.o.p. protesters are part of the reoccupy wall street over this game stop stock. i will say this you wall streeters who feared elizabeth warren and the democratic party. you voted for them. i know both sides are outraged now front and center whether it's on zoom or not and tee off on you and see who emerges. steve: because why is it that wall street can make all that money and suddenly when the little guy is able to make some money, they clamp down on him. it's just not fair. and that's why suddenly people are taking notice as we are. brian: right.

your job was going away in december. what happened? >> we were on a project for a company that this a pig farm and they were in partnership with another company. they were going to build the pipeline all the way to texas. the way with the pandemic and the election coming up, the people they were partners with had pulled out earlier in the year and said they were going to wait and see what happened. and we got to a point where they felt that they couldn't spend any more money, so they put a halt to us. and they basically it oust one of the guys that got laid off. steve: you told me during the commercial someone one of the considerations was that since joe biden had won the election his climate change policies could impact your business and so the investors were saying, you know what? we better be careful and we are going to have to lay people off, right? >> right.

i mean, it's -- to me it's unfeasible to do solar and stuff like that. it's something that is not proven. no matter what they say, it's something that we throw money at all the time just to keep it running. steve: and you have worked in the solar and wind fields as well, right? >> right. yes, i have. i worked for a gas supplying company i designed and installed solar systems on remote communications and remote metering. and it took a lot of money to get the systems up and work. but they were a lot of work to keep them running. and then the lifespan is very short. steve: sure. now, joe, when the biden administration pulled the plug on the first day, of the xl keystone pipeline, 11,000 jobs just poof, just like that.

but, you know, the administration and spokespeople said look, we want all those people to get high paying union jobs as soon as possible. all right. you are one of the people impacted by the biden administration's climate policies. where are these jobs. >> well, these jobs they are nonexistent in the united states. i mean, they're offering -- you can get retraining and stuff like that. or can you go down to walmart or the grocery stores right now. and they will give you a job that's not even a third, less than a fox all star kerr of what i was making. steve: so, joe, what are you going to do? >> well, mostly i'm going to survive. that's all i have did all my life. i used to chase jobs all over the united states. and i'm getting to the point now that i'm going to retire here in six years and i'm not very hip on running back out on the road

and trying to chase jobs all the time. i would rather stay home. i mean, i have only been home for -- well, 20 years. and i'm going to be 64. i mean, i spent a lot of time out on the road. steve: a lot of people are sadly in the same boat you are in right now. we wish every the best of luck in finding one of these new jobs one of these high paying union jobs that does not exist according to you. joe, good luck to you out there in wyoming. >> okay, thank you. steve: and thanks for tell your story. all right. >> no problem. steve: i wanted you to hear that and a you just did. all right. meanwhile, let's go back to one of our top stories, no deal in chicago overnight as the teacher's union has refused to return to the classroom today. harley from a parent who demands the teachers stop with the politics and put the kids first. plus, the biden administration reportedly diverting $30 billion from america's farmers to fund his agenda. where the money is going

steve: 6:40 in the east extremity weather. barreling down the east coast. up to 20 inches of snow could fall here in new york city. the city's three major airports have canceled at least 75% of their flights today because of a lot of snow and high winds. ainsley: down in virginia slippery conditions causing this fire truck to flip over. all four firefighter inside did escape without any injuries. brian: if you have a map take it out. the storm moving from the midwest where chicago neighborhoods saw 13 inches causing this roof to collapse.

janice dean is tracking the storm. they are used to it but no one is used to their roof collapsing. janice: no. exactly. we really have to take precautions on this. we are in the thick of it. the worst of it really coming this afternoon for the new york city area because we are going to have those whiteout conditions and those strock winds as the storm cranks up offshore. let's take a look at the satellite radar imagery. we have a bit of a cut off from the snow line and the central new jersey area towards pennsylvania. but all snow for new york city, jfk, newark, reporting light know. and those winds offshore 40 miles per hour and, again, that's going to get even stronger as we get into the afternoon, so blizzard conditions are very possible. and this is going to be with us not only today but through tuesday, not only that, not only the snow, coastal flood watches and warnings in effect as those winds continue to pound the coast line. so flooding is also going to be an issue with this winter storm. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. steve: it's not just a blizzard.

it's a nor'easter blizzard. man o man. j.d., thank you very much. meanwhile, a little less than three hours from right now the stock market is set to reopen after the wall street saw its worst week since october. also in the wake of the game stop trading scandal that happened last week. ainsley: today robinhood narrowing list of restricted stocks 50 companies to it will just 8. game stop is still on that list. will. brian: charles it the host of making money here to react. charles, is this over? >> no, definitely not over. ainsley just mentioned the robin hood list. today can you buy one share of game stop and five options. five call options, i guess. so it's certainly far from over. in fact, i think it's only beginning. particularly for a large swath of this country. younger would be investors and traders millennials from both sides of the aisle, you know, who have watched the financial system that one time went

bankrupt and wall street got bailed out. their parents 401(k)s did. and then they also looked in retrospect at what their parents were told to buy. g.e. was the ultimate stock. nokia buy it at 36, it went down to 4 bucks, 2 bucks. how about ibm. they spent the last 20 years buying billions of dollars of their own stock and the stock still collapsed. the list goes on and on. the this is not just a rebellion. it's a revolution based on what these kids have seen and also they are pointing out a lot of unfairness -- unfair practices on wall street. steve: that's right. because the little guy, charles, has figured out how to make money. you bet against people who are shorting the market. in other words, those people are betting on the market and that company going down. they say do you know what? it's a good company, i'm going to prop it up and suddenly that stock has gone up 1545% in a

month. charles: yeah, but i do want to make the distinction, you can short a stock if it's 100 bucks and think it's going to go to 80 for a trade. what we have seen over the last several decades hedge funds able to short to smithereens. every time you sell a stock suspects not going to the horse track and buying a ticket on the horse wins or loses. you play a role. you sell a stock, it goes down. the marketplace is very simple. if there are morsellers than buyers the stock goes down. if you artificially sell a stock and sell it and goes to 10 to 9 and goes to 8. not only are you forcing it down trigger nervousness throughout the investing community throughout investors. they start to sell and do your bidding for you. it's a game that's worked remarkably. given some people in this country the ability to earn a billion dollars a year. and by the way, these aren't stocks. these are companies that have people working for them,

struggling to make a living. and that's something we need to remember as well. ainsley: makes those of us who are invested in the stock market very nervous because it's out of our control. toll us about this story, president trump had the 30-million-dollar fund and he used it to help out the farmer as who were struggling and joe biden is going to redivert that money to tackle climate change. this was in politico. the trump administration used it to bail out farmers suffering from its trade wars. thought biden administration wants to deploy 30 billion pot of money in the agricultural department to tackle climate change, support restaurants and kick start other programs without waiting for congress. so, climate change most people would rather help the farmers about what about supporting the restaurants? that sounds like a good thing. >> but that's just -- ainsley, that's just -- it would be 1% of the money. that's fake. that's not -- they want you to zero in on that. that's why they tossed it in there. let's get back to the farmer part. when president trump took on

china, unlike any president in history, china said well, we will zero in and try to deliberately hurt american farmers. you know, and that was to me an act of war. so the trump administration took this program that by the way is designed to help farmers. and it has done this for many, many decades. in fact, the obama administration used it as well on average $12 billion a year. so, they want to money as at the bus stoppably set aside for farmers ups and downs pretty difficult industry. trade wars not with understanding. great years get trade right for all americans. now all of a sudden the soybean prices when trump left offices the highest sips 2014. now let's look away from the farmers. now let's ignore them and take this money set aside to safe

them during periods of roughness and put it towards a different agenda. carbon capture. let's not be diverted by this idea that they are going to help restaurants. that's not what they are trying to do here. they will help a couple and check a box. this is strictly to hijack money that's designed to help the american farmer and go for the clean energy agenda. brian: most of which voted for trump divide the trade wars because they bubblinged up on the long run. right track to rebalancing. the new nafta usmca left benefited the farmers too. we watch you because you are the host of making money. watch you at 2:00 until you are done. whenever you are done then we will stop watching. steve: i think you should continue to watch fox business and fox news channel. brian: really going to focus on charles. interest. jillian: charles is done now. it calling on the burr moodss military to release the pro-democracy leader and

brian: i'm going to pretend like i don't know the answer to this question but play along. with the media covering for new york governor andrew cuomo. questions raised after a woman's mother died in a nursing home last april. says nbc news told her to change her words during an interview on the state's crisis. here's what ended up making it on the air. >> new york state failed my mother and failed thousands of people's mothers and fathers. brian: she originally said governor cuomo failed us. the woman in that video dawn best joins us now. dawn, how did it happen that when you said governor cuomo failed us it ended up being new york failed us? >> well, i would like to say governor cuomo failed us now and am i allowed to say it on your program? brian: yes. >> all right.

here we go. well, i kind of got used to it because the media was never letting mow say governor cuomo all along and being cut out of every interview that i was in. and so the next starting every sentence they asked with governor cuomo so they couldn't do that for me. so then they were forced to literally ask me to cut out governor cuomo's name. lester holt's show is the only one to do it. so, what happened specifically on that show was i was telling them that governor cuomo failed us. his book should be named, you know, not lessons in leadership, it's levies in failure. she stopped me and said to me can you say that differently? can you say that a different way without governor cuomo's name and just say new york failed you? so i had no choice. new york failed me. brian: nbc news who was the reporter? >> kristin -- i don't know her

last name. brian: and how did they get new york in that line? did you repeat it instead of governor cuomo. >> absolutely. to say new york and to take governor cuomo's name out. now, i was very, very accustomed to that and, you know, i just wish that governor cuomo did as good a job of protecting the elderly as the press has done all along protecting him. brian: that report came out was scathing but he doesn't acknowledge it. keep in mind, too. let's talk about your mom for a second. she was getting great care, you said, 24/7 until the pandemic hit. she ends up dying of dehydration. how does that go back to the governor? >> i would like to know how this happened. my mom was in the best nursing home getting the best care being watched 24/7. fine, health undera happy. and within three weeks of his deadly directive where he sent the covid positive patients into

the nursing home my mother was dead from neglect. that is because the nursing home was overrun with covid patients. i know this because the doctor told me when i called and asked what was wrong with my mother said and this is a quote fran sick said the covid is everywhere. it's in every unit. the doctors have it. the nurses have it and your mother may have it. i had her tested she didn't have it. it was dehydration. my mother died of neglect because of governor cuomo. brian: you don't think it was the hospital that just stopped looking in on her because they were overwhelmed by the coronavirus. >> well, she was in the nursing home. in the nursing home they were giving her the best level of care and the nurse was were wonderful and they did care. i believe they were doing the best that they possibly could but under the circumstances they couldn't handle it. you can't have people -- they are short staffed as it is. they could not handle what he put on them. and the nursing home begged him

not to send the covid patients there. they knew it would happen. not the proper ppe equipment. cuomo knew it would happen at the time. after the 325 directive, he said that it was like fire in dry grass. testimony. brian: like an ember and all they tied and they still don't have the correct number. close to 13,000. but one of the things he said is what difference does it make whether they died in a hospital or they died in the nursing home they still died. >> yeah. that was pretty unbelievable the things that he said. yeah, makes a huge difference skewed the numbers and did it purposefully. one of the states who do that he knew that his record in new york -- his record of deaths, fatalities in nursing homes is the worst in the whole country. in order to cover for it, when a

person got very ill in a us inning home and they can't breathe, they send them off to the hospital. the people could have died one hour later. they are not counted as nursing home fathers. they are nursing home fatalities. but he if the numbers. that's what happened. we have been screaming from the hilltops forhe numbers. and took them a very long time to finally do that. brian: so i watched of the whole press conference after the report came out on friday. and one thing he said is well my dad died. i was angry, too. there was no one to lash out of at. how do you feel about that analogies of his dad passing but no one for him to be angry at? >> he has no compassion. he has no remorse. it's outrageous. it's infuriating. we have -- our family and unfortunately i'm not alone. there are thousands and thousands. three times as many people died in the nursing homes in new york than died on 9/11. and everybody needs to let that

sink in and these are healthy people that he put covid patients in there. how would you like to sleep next to a covid patient tonight? a 3rd grader would know not to send covid patients into a nursing home. it's inexcusable and i believe that he did it for political reasons. the federal government provided him with. brian: how do you feel when he says i was just following cdc guidelines? >> it's a complete lie. part of the cuomo cover-up. the media was complicit with it. and it's a complete and total lie. he signed the 325 directive knowing what would happen. i believe his actions are criminal. he needs to be held accountable. the democrats have done nothing all this time. we have begged them -- the only democrat that helped us all along because governor cuomo failed his uncle. brian: dawn best i hear your sadness with the passing of your

mom and how it happened. dawn, thanks so much for joining us. i appreciate it. keep in mind, too. we reached out to nbc news and cuomo's office for a statement, have not heard back yet. let's start our next hour. huchinger down and stay home. a massive nor'easter pummeling the east coast right now. janice: this is a big one. this will go down in some of the biggest snowfall totals in history. >> republican senators head to the white house today to caulk code relief. democrats' promise of are shortly. >> republicans want to work with us that's great i have not heard that. >> push this radical left agenda. it will hurt american families because their tax also have to skyrocket. >> the chicago mayor insist teachers go back to the classroom. teachers who don't show up will be disciplined. >> knows need to report. those who do not report to work we will take action. >> if there is a strike we will see the union in court. we have a lawsuit ready to go on

behalf of parents. >> robinhood limited trades on stock boosted by day traders in order to protect hedge glundz goes back to concentrated power whether whether it's on wall street or big tech. we need to go after it. ♪ ♪ ainsley: we begin with extremity weather. we have a live look at queens, which is in new york as a nor'easter hits the east coast overnight. brian: okay. it seems like you can drive on those roads. ainsley: it's going to get worst though. brian: could be the worst storm they say for new york city in 20 years. steve: they are calling it a state of emergency and only essential workers can be on the streets and carley shimkus is one of them bringing us the news as thousands of flights have been canceled this morning throughout the area. all of the way from d.c. right up through new england. carley: you said it, steve. we are getting a little bit of a break right now, thankfully. it's probably going to be short lived. new york city bill de blasio's message is hunker down and stay home. he declared that state of emergency yesterday as this storm is expected to bring as

much as 24 inches of snow. >> this is not a storm to under estimate, take it seriously. if you do not need to be out and about on monday, stay home. carley: crews worked throughout the night. 750 salt spreaders and 2,000 plows are at the ready. ready to clear those roads. the storm though causing major headaches for travelers. new york's three major airports have already canceled 75% or more of flights scheduled for today. the city is also rescheduling vaccination appointments for seniors. by yesterday morning maryland state police responded to 3 '0 crashes. sleet and freezing rain this morning will follow. another round of snow this afternoon in the state. in virginia, look at this. slippery conditions caused this fire truck to flip over all four firefighters inside thankfully escaped without injury. a virginia state police say they

responded to more than 360 car crashes between midnight and 9:00 p.m. saturday. the storm came in, guys, from the midwest, where it dropped 1 inches of snow in parts of chicago. the heavy snowfall forced the roof of a vacantn to some cars. thankfully no one was hurt there. many cities have already declared a state of emergency, just like here in new york city. it would usually be a snow day here. because of virtual learning, guys, everybody will be learning but just from home. so, no snow day here in the big apple. ainsley: all right. carley. thank you so much. >> you bet. ainsley: hand it over to january i was in and she is going to tell you what it is like in her area, hey, janice. janice: still getting the snow and ongoing throughout the day and very strong winds bringing the potential for blizzard conditions for parts of long island north and west of new york city. where we think we are going to get the jackpot snowfall totals that's where we have our winter weather warnings. and advisories that stretch all the way up towards maine.

and the strong winds, i mean, we are going to have wind gusts close to hurricane force winds especially for eastern long island up towards maine. here's the additional snow. so we have already had about five or six inches on the ground in, no. an additional 8 to 12, looks like boston four inches for you look at lancaster over 2 feet we think in terms of west of the new york city area. philadelphia might get a few more inches than originally an tis pavemented earlier this morning. there is the criteria for the blizzard. so, 35 mile-per-hour winds or greater for a duration of three hours or more. so, i wouldn't be surprised if we did see blizzard warnings in effect as we get throughout the day and by the way, an all-day event on monday into tuesday. so a slow moving system will keep you up to date. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. steve: thank you, j.d. brian: it's my pleasure to bring in senator tom cot top on the senate banking committee and a big time impact player on the republican side senator, welcome

to monday. >> good morning, brian. brian: so we know about and we will put these up on the screen how many executive orders joe biden did in his first 10 days in office. he is not going to stop there apparently. we will talk about this in a little while is he doing something maybe bipartisan when it comes to the relief bill. let's talk about what he is going to do on immigration. i mean, is he just going to start naturalizing people on immigration, unilaterally? >> yeah, brian. of all the executive orders that the president has signed in his first few days in office, i think the ones that impact jobs are the probably the worst. we all saw what he did on the keystone pipeline that cost more than 10,000 high paying good blue collar union jobs. but these immigration orders are going to have an even more sweeping effect. at a time when 10 million americans are still out of work or struggling to get the hours they need, joe biden through his legislation wants to give amnesty to 15 million illegal immigrants. through that legislation of some of these orders, he wants to invite millions it or more guest

workers to come into the country offer get people with bogus claims of asylum the opportunity to come here and work while they wait for their claim to be adjudicated if they ever show up. it's not good for american workers. hurt jobs for americans and putting american workers last. brian: we are in a pandemic. good job. >> yeah. i mean a lot of me migrants coming no way to screen their background for either health or security. president trump negotiated with the mexico with the remain in mexico policies. showed up at our border from another country and remain some claim of asylum remain in mexico as opposed to being released in our country and being told back to come back pretty please some hearing. by would we rip up a bilateral agreement with mexico, our partner to the south that is working to give migrant workers the opportunity to come to this country and work for months, if not years until they maybe, maybe, perhaps, show up for a everything ha.

steve: well, just as we see with every new administration they try to undo so much of the previous administration if they are from another party, and that' as to be what joe biden is up to. he is also the president has a meeting later today, senator, with ten of your colleagues on the republican side at the white house. they apparently called the white house yesterday and said, hey, we have got a counter plan to the 1 pulp billion-dollar democrat bill. and nobody from the other side has reached out to us, mr. president, so we are reaching out to you. the big question, senator cotton is, joe biden ran on unifying the country. on being bipartisan. here's his chance. >> yeah. that's exactly right. joe biden did run as a unifying candidate. that was the theme of his inaugural address. yet, have you got his close ally bernie sanders now on television for the past 10 days saying it's time to push aside the

republicans. there is no time to even speak to them. plow strayed straight ahead on far left agenda. i commend susan collins and 10 republicans who sent the president this letter and asked for this meeting. last year we passed multiple coronavirus relief bills. many of them passed unanimously to help get people the support they need to make ends meet. to say put food on the table. keep a roof over their kids' head. vaccines out to the american people more than 1 million shots per day. that was all done on a bipartisan basis last year there is no reason by joe biden can't work with republicans on bipartisan legislation if he is willing to push bernie sanders to the side and work with republican senators and republican congressman. ainsley: right joe biden, president biden have invited those 10 to come to the white house sit down and come up with a bipartisan plan. bernie sanders says he is offered bipartisan it's more important to get this amount of money, this it's $1.9 trillion.

listen to this. >> the question is not bipartisan. 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 to address those crises that's great. to be honest with you i have not yet heard that. >> does your party have the votes to pass the relief package through the reconciliation process if you decide to go that route? >> yeah, i believe that we do. because it's hard for me to imagine any democrat, no matter what state he or she may come from, who doesn't understand the need to go forward right now in an aggressive way. ainsley: does he have the votes? >> i would be very doubtful, ainsley if bernie sanders has the votes for some of thinks proposals. remember is he a socialist silk stocking socialist send checks

for thousands of dollars to families making mother than a quarter of a million dollars a year. that's his proposal. that's what he wants to do right now. i don't think many democrats want to send $1,000 checks to families making a quarter of a million dollars a year. republicans said let's make sure this relief is targetinged. can't get the hours they need. obviously our vaccine distribution system could use a little more support as well. that's the kind of targeted relief we passed just a few weeks ago at the end of december and we are open to doing so again. what we are not wriggle to do is to have a budget busting bill that is not even related to the coronavirus in so many ways. we need to stay focused on the needs of the american people and keep those relief programs tightly tailored to those needs. brian: you didn't hear any big rush for bernie sanders over the summer. and through the fall, he has got to quickly pass the bill. you didn't hear that you didn't hear it from nancy pelosi. enough to they are in a massive rush. because time is wasting. meanwhile we already spent 4 trillion. forget to add that in.

talk a little bit on iran. this man got arrested for acting as an agent of iran and pushing propaganda. he previously penned a "new york times" -- you are familiar with this. you know this process. editorial piece about this. and put the staff in an uproar. here is a quote from assistant a.g. his name is araby. pitched himself to journalists at american public as a neutral objective expert on iran however all the while he was actually a secret employee of the government of iran and permanent of republic of iran to the united nations being paid to spread their propaganda. this is hiding in full view. >> first off we have way too many registered agents of foreign governments in our country cooking things exactly like this. writing podesta, going on tv. lobbying congress. i'm glad the department of justice is continuing to focus on this problem whether it's iran or china or any other country. remember what the "new york times" did last year. when i published an op-ed

sayings we should send in the troops if necessary to restore order. within be a up can pell days had a melt down in the news room. put editor's note on my op-ed even though they couldn't cite a single factual error and supported by the majority of mefn people and last few weeks i have been supported by a lot of liberals when i said of the same thing about the violence at our capitol. i think it's been 8 years now and this alleged spy for iran's op-ed still doesn't have an editor's note at the "new york times" it. goes to show you what the sensibility of the "new york times" editorial board is. steve: i think we have had that idea. senator, thank you very much for joining us on this snow day. >> yeah, thank you all and everybody stay safe out there. ainsley: you too. steve: indeed. all right. it is 7:12 in new york city. jillian joins us with an alert. jillian: let's combine be with this. 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

9/11. over time it warped into something it wasn't. it turned into a day care facility for terrorists. that's certainly what it is today. they are never getting tried. they have all these rights that they shouldn't have. and ultimately it's so contorted the bureaucracy takes full control of it that the contemplation of giving vaccines to ksm makes sense to somebody in the pentagon 20 years after 9/11. that's how far we have gone from the original mission which is emmy come pat tants tried in military tribunals war crimes against american citizens. instead get constitutional protections, lawyers and international organizations and now vaccines. and who does it cost? the american taxpayer. brian: right. oso now they play soccer and volleyball and all these rights that they demand and people actually go to fight for them. some americans lawyers do. you say at gitmo it cost the american taxpayer between 9 and be 13 million. super max prison, for example, if we put a prisoner in colorado 78,000. and i imagine their life is a lot more hellish. whether a really is maddening too, pete.

steve: welcome back. the united states is being warned to brace for the widespread of the u.k.'s variant of the covid-19 strain. benjamin hall joins us live in london with the very latest developments. ben? >> good morning, steve. four to six weeks ahead of the u.s. hospitalizations here are soaring, deaths are soaring and the great fear is if this vaccine program can't be rolled out across the u.s. more effectively the same will happen there. there are at the moment 467 recorded cases of the u.k. variant in the u.s. across 32 states. but it is thought the real surge in the u.s. will happen in the next 6 to 14 weeks. based on how it spread here in the u.k. in fact, the u.k. is currently hospitalizing twice as many people as the u.s. has ever done even at its highest number and that's with a population five times smaller which is why this

vaccination program must be spread up. >> at this point the good news the vaccines that we have appear to be still very effective against this vaccine. it's a message to all americans that what happens elsewhere in the world can effect us and that we need to do everything we can to control this pandemic. >> over 30 million vaccines have so far been distributed in the u.s. that's far fewer than hoped. and that second dose is still considered to be the essential one. the moderna vaccine as an example is 80% effective after one dose but the pfizer vaccine just 52%. these vaccines record pace. operation warp speed outstanding success. the rollout has not been as fast as they would have liked. now the race is on for more of these variants both the u.k. and south africa can one really leach the u.s. steve? steve: that's exactly right. benjamin, thank you. ainsley? ainsley: thank you, steve. president biden signing

executive order to prevent and combat gender discrimination allowing transgender women to compete in women's athletics. it reads in parts children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom the locker room or school sports. but two you i'd tahoe collegiate athletes fighting back fairness for athletes shouldn't be a political issue. one of those students cross-country runner madison kenyon and her attorney christiane that holcomb they join us now. good morning to you, ladies. >> good morning, thank you for having us. >> good morning. ainsley: madison tells us how this effects you. >> i competed against a biological male cross-country and indoor track. it's super frustrating and very unmotivating to lose against a biological male in your own sport and having persons experienced that i decided to get involved in this lawsuit. because i felt like it was the best way for me to get my voice out and fight for the opportunities that should be preserved to women. it. ainsley: chris christian that

how about you from a legal standpoint how is it fair. >> see how the agency implements executive order. sends a message loud and clear to athletes like madison you do no matter. federal law is really clear that we have women sports as a separate category to ensure that female athletes get to be champions and get to have fair and level playing field. ainsley: madison, it's a sensitive topic. why is this important to you. >> this is important to me because i have experienced it. i know how unmotivating and frustrating it is to lose to a biological male and see them on the podium in the female sports. i don't think any other female should have to experience that. ainsley: christiane that, you want to include everyone and you want people to feel loved and accepted, is there an alternative? is there a compromise here? >> well, we certainly think there is a place for everyone in sports. the real question is where is it most fair for everyone to compete? men and women are not identical.

and this has really showcased well in sports. the whole reach that we have women sports in a separate category is to showcases the physicians logical differences and ensure that female athletes like madison get a chance to be champion ares, to get the podium spot and relationship with her talent. ainsley: has there been talk of having a third team or third competition. >> i have certainly heard that's one suggestion. again i think at pot what we need to be doing is ensuring that the female sex category is protected. because there are those physical differences between the sexes and make it unfair to importance females to compete against physiologically superior athletes. ainsley: thank you so much. keep us posted on how this works out in court. >> thank you for having us. ainsley: you are welcome. thank you. critics claiming the first and second families have optics issue over using positions of power for personal gain. profiles in corruption author peter schweizer is on deck next.

brian: nor'easter barreling down on the east coast. dropping 20 inches of snow in new york city. right now only an inch or two. steve: it's a little more than that. it's coming down and more later. the areas' three major airports in new york city, newark, laguardia and jfk about as you can see about 75% of their flights have been canceled so

far ted. ainsley: well, in virginia, slippery conditions causing this fire truck to flip over, thankfully all four of the firefighters got out and escaped without injury. >> brian: that's great. the storm moving from the must where chicago neighborhoods saw 13 inches causing this roof to collapse. janice crane to is tracking the storm overall and where it's heading, janice? janice: this storm is developing into a full-fledged nor'easter with the winds coming from the north and east and dumping quite a bit of snow maybe over feet of snow, the most snow we have had in new york city for five years. we had 27.5 inches back in 2016 and that was a record breaker for the most snow in new york city. i don't think we will get 27 inches but we certainly could get upwards of more than a foot. maybe up towards 20 inches of snow. the wind gusts along the coast, 30, 40, 50 miles per hour and that could cause blowing snow and whiteout conditions.

so, that's why people are urged to stay inside, not only the potential for whiteout conditions but those strong winds could bring power lines down, power outages and tree limbs. here's the forecast temperature and radar as we go through time. this storm is going to to be with us throughout the day today into tuesday and even tuesday afternoon. we have got some lingering snow showers going into wednesday. so, a very impactful storm for many of the big cities like philadelphia, new york, up to boston as well. here are some of our forecast models. i will tell you there is a bit of a discrepancy, maybe not a bit but quite a lot of a discrepancy between the gfs which is the american model and the euro model. i mean, look at that, 3 inches to 13 inches for philadelphia. new york city 8 to 12. this is additional snow that we have already seen on the ground and in scranton 13 to 15 inches. boston looks like within this model forecast we're not getting the snow totals that we were originally forecasting, and

that's because snow is really hard to forecast and once you have some of those heavier brands bringing 1 to 3 inches he of snow an hour, that's when you are going to start to see these snow totals really uptick. there is what we are dealing with. we are still going to be dealing with certainly measurable snow for philadelphia, even baltimore, up to new york. hartford and then boston there right on the line of, you know, just a few inches to maybe a little bit more than that. but there's the last three hours. you can tell all snow. appear all-snow event for parts of philadelphia. you are right on that freezing rain sleet line for philadelphia, and new york, 28 degrees and all-snow event. so, yeah, we could definitely be in the jackpot for some of the most snow totals in and around new york. we will keep you up to date. we call this now casting. because we are forecasting in the present time. really is one of the hardest things to forecast when it comes to meteorology. ainsley: all right. thank you, janice. brian: you do it well.

ainsley: you told us it was coming. we knew it. we are all prepared. thank you. joe biden's younger brother frank promoted his florida law firm printed on inauguration day. brian: good news is he is not even a lawyer. it red part the two biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environment issues to the forefront. that was part of the ad. it. steve: frank biden pictured steve has not used name to get clients. next guest is skeptical. peter schweizer is the president of the government accountability institute he joins us right now. peter, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so, in this case we are not talking about hunter biden who now, according to the "new york post," is an artist although he still has business connections to china. now we are talking about frank, the brother, who very curiously, his agency ran that ad on inauguration day. it smells kind of bad. >> yeah.

it smells kind of bad because it is kind of bad. look, everybody is familiar, a lot of people are familiar with the hunter biden story. the problem goes much tea party than that. this is a pattern within the biden family. i call them the biden five because there are five family members who have cashed in on joe biden's career. and frank is one of them. frank may be now saying that he has never used his brother's name or his connections to his brother to advance his career, but he has admitted in the past that he did so. and that it was beneficial and this is the problem, really. you know, when you are investigating corruption, you are looking for patterns of behavior. and with the bidens it's been a pattern for 45 years. it involves five members of the family, and they really have no incentive to change because they have never been caught. they have never been held to account. so unfortunately we can expect more of this, i think, going forward. ainsley: politico is claiming that president biden did talk to

his brother and said you need to be careful. they are quoting this: for christ's sake watch yourself. don't get sucked into something that would, first of all, hurt you. is it unethical, is it illegal? >> great question, ainsley. it's hard to know the specifics of what he was going on. what's interesting about that quote you read is, notice that the entire focus is on frank not getting hurt. steve: right. >> there is no mention of this is going to be bad for the country. of this is going to raise questions about the credibility of my administration. the entire focus is on the biden family. and that's part of the problem. when we elect public officials, they need to take the public trust seriously. not just talk about it but act on it. and they have not done that in the past. think about all the issues involving hunter biden, the ukraine deal, the china $1.5 billion private equity deal. the chinese government transferring the almost $5 million to hunter biden. joe biden has never said that

there was anything inappropriate or anything that even looked bad in any of those relationships. and so that's the inherent problem. whether they are legal or illegal, we certainly need to look at, but, of course, the problem is that this is bad because it's corrupt. and there are plenty of things in washington, d.c. that are legal but i would argue is also corrupt. brian: peter, no one would cover this story if the election was still -- was coming up. the fact is it came over. the only reason they wrote it or even discussed it or even had that quote or else they probably would have gotten the account frozen on twitter. jen psaki was asked the question in one of her daily briefings. here's what she said. >> i'm sure the president is committed to ensuring we have the most ethically vigorous administration in history. it's the white house's policy that the president's name should not be used in connection with commercial activities to suggest in any way that could reasonably be understood to imply his entorresment or support.

brian: that made the loose leap. maybe she thought that peter doocy was going to get a chance to ask a question. other people are asking now. steve: he was off that day. brian: your thought, peter? >> yeah, it's good that the media is finally paying attention. the problem is when we have elections we expect people to be able to make informed choices. a lot of people did not know anything about hunter biden's business dealings precisely because the media was not covering it. look, joe biden for all the things that his press secretary has said, when he was vice president of the united states literally flew his son on air force 2 to beijing, china, where his son closed a $1.5 billion private equity deal with the chinese even though he had no background in china and no background in private equity. so you can issue statements. words are cheap in washington, d.c. what matters is what you have actually do. and there is, unfortunately, no evidence that joe biden takes any of this seriously or that

they are going to change their pattern of behavior. brian: right. by the way, i think he is still invested in that chinese company which is unthinkable. steve: it sounds like it. let's see what happens with frank biden and that big sugar lawsuit down in florida because that is the issue that his law firm is handling. all right, peter, you are also in florida. have a great day down there. >> thanks. steve: all right. it is now exactly a quarter before the top of the hour. and jillian joins us right now with another fox news alert. jillian: that's right. good morning. let's start with this. at least a dozen homeless activists are arrested after attempting to take over a washington state hotel. [chanting it pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon] >> the activist group had reserved rooms for one night but then reportedly demanded pandemic housing. other guests and hotel staff forced to shelter in place for several hours. some say activists were armed

with batons, hatchets and knives. it officers used pepper bullets on the hostile crowd. unclear what charges they will face. today face masks will be mandatory for travelers on flights and public transportation. the new cdc requirement goes into effect just before midnight. the is to curb the spread of coronavirus. passengers, trains, subways, buses, taxis and ride shares. kennedy center has received almost $270 million from congress in the last five years and paid its president more than 5 million. that's according to a report by forbes. the center for the arts received $25 million last year in coronavirus relief funds used for its payroll. when asked about the president's pay the center's chairman says that it's competitive. okay. now, check out these adorable pair of pandas having a good old time playing in the snow. giant pandas are having the ultimate snow day at the

>> we wanted to see the changes since our last visit, we headed back just as new leadership was taking power in washington. >> it's incredible. >> this is probably the first

time a journalist from national news has heard this. steve: our next guest getting a first-hand lack at how border conditions have changed over the year as president biden targets immigration in new executive orders tomorrow. lara logan, hosts a brand new season of no agenda return to theday and she joins us right nw from not far from the border. good morning to you, lara. >> good morning, steve, thanks for having me. steve: it's great to have you. the name of your show is no agenda, but really your agenda is to bring to light voices we have not heard and in your new season that drops today on fox nation, you are taking a look at the drug cartels which despite donald trump really cracking down on our southern border, they have flourished. >> well, the relates is, steve, and i think the headlines here that the cartels have become a shadow government in mexico. they're a parallel government. and the mexican government itself takes its orders from the

cartels. they control everything on both sides of the border. so, what you are seeing already is they have communicated to people. they have people rushing over the border in high numbers now. pretty much, you know, a lookout of the up significantly in terms of -- we are talking about thousand of people who are just running past border patrol agents and they can't keep up with the numbers. because they're waiting for that amnesty. under the, you know, new administration, if you were here before january 20th, then you will be folded into that amnesty bill. and border patrol has no way of knowing or proving how long people who have been illegal are in the country. so they are coming -- those numbers are up already. they would be up by more if it weren't for the fact that a texas judge had put a freeze on -- or had put a stay on the biden administration's hold on all deportations. steve: sure. >> which i have to say which overrides title 42, the public health consideration that was in

place, right? because if you freeze all deportations then no one is being returned under public health guidelines because mexico is a covid hot spot. steve: it is, indeed. we have a clip from your new series that is on fox nation right now on how the cartels have gotten much more aggressive. watcher this. >> we found the cartels more aggressive by the day. what jaeson jones and others called an escalating national security nightmare armed with military grade weapons, a war chest in the billions, and unconstrained by the rules of war. they are not stopping at the border. >> at the end of the day, this is the national security threat that has to be addressed. it has to. it can't just go on. >> people will look back and say how come they did nothing for years. >> for decades. this could have been stopped so long ago. steve: he is right about that. lara, he is also right, it is a national security threat. so, it will be interesting to see what joe biden tomorrow on

immigration day at the white house has in store for security on our southern border with his executive order. >> well, based on the guidelines so far that have gone out to the border agencies, they are moving from a mission of will security to one that is almost entirely about migrant care. because they are taking agents off their normal jobs. they are taking them off security patrols. and taking them off the special units like post patrols and they are already building facilities now. and basically they don't want to keep people there because under the covid guidelines you, you know, you have to have certain distances between people. and border patrol isn't even set up to house children. right? and families. let alone house people under covid. they are just going to be shipping them out as quickly as they can. with the notice to appear in the country as long as you claim credible fear, you know, these agents down the line these small stations they are not dealing with that right? they are just sending you on

your way and you are going into the country. i will say, steve, what's interesting is that right at the moment, as the u.s. is opening up its border, right? pretty much looking to more open borders, bypassing the legal immigration system that exists right now, giving people alternative paths. at the exact same moment mexico interestingly has doubled down on its border security and its border in terms of cutting off all cooperation with u.s. agents unless they go through, you know, a particular cell and mexican has to reports contacts with u.s. stripping them of immunity. this is a tough time for u.s. inside of mexico. steve: it is indeed. all right, lara logan has no agenda. awe available today on fox nation. members only streaming service with exclusive access to original content. in credit card debt. sofi helped me pay off twenty-three thousand dollars of credit card debt. they helped me consolidate all of that

telling people to hunker down and stay home. he declared a state of emergency yesterday as this storm is expected to bring snow totals up to 24 inches which is a massive number for new york city. a lot of snow crews already outside clearing times square, getting ready for the know to continue to pile up. i actually just got a travel restriction advisory on my phone right now. the storm also causing major makes for travelers. new york's three major airports have already canceled 75% or more of flights scheduled for today. the city is also rescheduling vaccination appointments for some seniors. if if neighboring new jersey -- in neighboring new jersey, snow is already piling up. snow also pounding philadelphia, like you said, highways getting a lot of snow, and the city is expecting the highest snow totals in five years. in virginia slippery conditions caused this fire truck to flip over. all four fight firefighters,

thankfully, escaped without injury. they did respond to more than 360 car crashes between midnight and 9 p.m. on saturday. things are slightly better in the nation's capital which has seen only a few inches so far, but d.c. monuments getting covered in the white stuff as well. the storm came in from the midwest which dropped 13 inches of snow in parts of chicago, the heavy snowfall forcing the roof of a vacant building to collapse onto some cars. thankfully, no one was hurt there. many cities have declared a state of emergency like here in new york city. i know it's causing a lot of makes. the vaccination appointments have been canceled, a rot of issues with bad -- a lot of issues with bad road conditions, but right now it's getting cleared out and, you know, before it gets all ugly and brown, kind of pretty too. brian: hey, carley, do you think the severe weather will hurt the outdoor dining that governor

cuomo's letting us do now? >> reporter: yeah, i would say that it would become almost near impossible. last snowstorm they did have to shut down outdoor dining and, of course, that's the only kind of dining that's allowed in new york city during the snow, the big snowstorm that hit in late 2020. so we'll keep an eye out and see if it's going to be affected this time as well. i'm sure it will be. steve: and the reason your hand is cold, it's 28 degrees but with 24 mile-per-hour winds, the wind chill currently is 14 in times square. >> reporter: yeah. i think i'm going to put my hands in my pockets now, guys. [laughter] steve: good ideas. brian: all right. it's my privilege to toss to janice dean. she'll tell us exactly why carly is so cold. janice: we are getting snow as predicted. new york city, we might get 1-2 inch. s of snow an hour with very gusty winds. so whiteout conditions, and

that's why people are urged to stay the inside, make sure the plows can do their job. let's take a look at the last three hours, all snow for new york city. freezing rain for philadelphia, and once you're on that line of freezing rain/sleet, some of the snow totals certainly north and west of new york city, that's where we could hit the jackpot. all snow with central park, rah laguardia, jfk and newark right now. and the real big part of the storm is going to happen later this afternoon when those winds crank up and the storm strength thens and those winds come from the north and the east. that's why we call it a nor'easter. and, i mean, we could see wind gusts in excess of 50, 60, even 70 miles per hour just off the coast of long island. so the potential for blizzard warnings perhaps over the next couple of hours and then the flooding as well with those winds pushing the water from the atlantic inland. that's where we have the flash flooding concerns. so there's the additional precipitation already in some

cases 5-7 inches of snow. so we could certainly get snowfall totals of over 2 feet, which is quite incredible for this area. the last time that happened was five years ago, 27.5 inches, and that was the biggest, greatest snowfall in new york of all time. back to you, steve, ainsley and brian. steve: all right, j.d., thank you very much. already the snowstorm has pushed the confirmation vote on the department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas to tomorrow. meanwhile today, the president of the united states is going to sit down at some point with ten republican senators because they've got a deal, they've got a different plan than his $2 trillion plan being pushed by bernie sanders and others. theirs is about $600 billion which is, seems like a value compared to that. meanwhile, tomorrow the president is expected to sign an executive order on immigration. and, ainsley, it just continues,

the blizzard of paper he's been signing. ainsley: so far 25 have been signed, look at that compared to all the presidents. more than all of those others combined. we were talking about that this weekend with my friends, my gosh, he's erasing everything that president trump did. senator tom cotton was on with us earlier, and he's talking about binden's executive orders. listen to this. >> out of all the executive orders that the president signed in his first few days in office, i think the ones that impact jobs are probably the worst. at a time when 10 million americans are out of work or struggling to get hours, he wants to give amnesty to 15 million immigrants, he wants to invite millions of more guest workers to come into the country or give people with bogus claims of asylum the opportunity to come ear and work while they wait for their claim to be adjudicated if even they show up. it's putting american workers

last. ainsley: so rick scott was interviewed about it, senator from florida, said this was just payback to the liberal left. he said we can't afford this. he said they're not worried at all that we are $27 trillion in debt. bernie sanders says it looks like there's going to be maybe some bipartisanship here with these ten republicans being invited by joe biden to come to the white house, but bernie sanders says we have all the votes we need on the democratic side, and he said it's more important to get this deal passed than to have bipartisanship. brian: i'm not sure he does. manchin's gone out of his way to set up two conference calls with people like senator susan collins are, senator romney, senator campbell, and he was the single reason that they got the $900 billion passed why while donald trump was in the white house. if you're with at $1.9 trillion and the republicans are at $600 billion, i have my fingers crossed there's going to be a way for them to meet.

if joe biden -- actually, if president biden acts like senator bind, they could get something done. if it's a quick stiff arm, we're not budging, we know it's going to be a long minimum two years, and that's really going to indicate, when you call up susan collins and ask her to go, if she he leaves and says i got nothing, she does not have the reputation of someone who is hard to deal with. meanwhile, christina kristina partsinevelos from fox business channel joins us as robinhood narrows its trading restrictions ahead of this morning's opening bell. kristina, it's going to be a wild day. >> reporter: yeah. not just only in new york, but it's shaping up to be tumultuous on the stock market as well. robinhood, the free trading app, that is seen as a gateway for millions of investors into the stock market. what they're doing is they're slowing down users. they have restricted trading on eight companies. these are the companies we've been talking about, gamestop, of course, amc, blackberry, nokia.

that means you can only own a certain number of those shares as of today. robinhood says they're doing this because of market volatility. nonetheless, this raised some eyebrows on both sides of the aisle which is why many lawmakers are pushing for the securities and exchange commission to look into the matter. but a lot of the damage has already been de. hedge funds are said to have lost at least $6 billion since january 1st, and that's because those hedge funds bet these highly volatile stocks would fall, you had these ap cure retail investors -- amateur retail investors push up the stock price so it was the exact opposite. we're still seeing shares for gamestop higher, and if anything, some of these retail investors have shifted to silver, pushing up the price of any type of silver mining companies. so the key point is that it's still going to continue like this, and that's going to force a lot of institutional investors, even hedge funds, to sell some of their longer term

positions to raise cash, and that could be a very, very tumultuous time for the broader market going forward into the week. back to you guys. steve: all right, kristina, thank you very much. i saw a commercial for silver on this channel. just saying. [laughter] meanwhile, so what has happened is they're clamped down on the little guys, and as we have seen, the big hedge funds have gotten cash infusions from other institutions. the senator from the great state of new york, he's the majority leader now, chuck schumer said last night, he tweeted: we cannot have a stock market where players are also the refs. the sec and congressional investigations of decisions to restrict access to trade gamestop must stop. it happened as soon as possible, ainsley. ainsley: i'm learning so much about robinhood and all the companies that they represent, some huge companies -- steve: all the companies, they're a stock trade thing platform. ainsley: okay.

so they represent -- steve: every stock the, you can find them on there. ainsley: all right, got it. so they have lifted tootsie roll, american airlines, beyond meat, bed bath and beyond, or rolls royce, you're free to trade all of those. those eight companies that are still -- look at gamestop, you can only buy one share, and there are five different call options. that's it, one share. people are upset about this. chastles payne was on with us earlier, he said the financial revolution is far from over. >> it's certainly far from over. in fact, i think it's only beginning particularly for a large swath of this country. younger would-be investors and traders, millennials from both sides of the aisle, you know, who have watched the financial system that one time went bankrupt and wall street got bailed out. their parents' 401(k)s didn't. it's a revolution based on what these kids have seen and also they're pointing out a lot of unfairness, unfair practices on

wall street. brian: and we're going to have now washington, d.c. is going to examine it, and you're going to have a situation where senator ted cruz is just as ticked off as senator elizabeth warren. and we're going to find out maybe if they want to delve deep into this how this thing is done, shed some light on it. i did notice too there's a lot of republican, young republicans from the young republicans in new york who are in occupy wall street, and they are leading the charge saying this is unfair. so this might be the one thing that brings both parties together. steve: it's just not fair because you've got, you know, the reason they stopped trading the stock last week was because robinhood was running out of cash. so they got a billion dollars from somebody else so they could open the doors on friday, but now, ainsley, they are restricting the stock, and that's what that list was. now you can only buy one share, but you already had to have had gamestop in your stock portfolio to be able to do that -- ainsley: shows you the power of

these big corporations, hedge funds and how they're trying to squash the little people. the little people are fighting back. let's hand it over to jillian. brian, did you have something? brian: yes, here's the news. [laughter] >> reporter: harsh tactics against protesters, thousands have been arrested calling for the release of opposition leader alexei navalny. >> the russian government makes a big mistake if it believes that this is about us. it's not. it's about them. actually, we're reviewing a series of russian actions that are deeply, deeply disturbing. >> reporter: blinken did not say if sanctions were possible. former san diego mayor raising more than $1 million launching his exploratory committee to challenge california governor gavin newsom. critics voicing frustrations over newsom's covid-19 response. a petition organizer says they have gathered more than 1.2

super bowl. owner of san pedro's brewing company, james brown, joins us now. good morning, mr. brown. i'm so sorry for all that you have gone through. what would you say to the administrators who are watching? >> you know, we just got through ten weeks of doing takeout only, and that was really rough. i've had my restaurant for 20 years, great little community here. we finally are got reopened on friday,s which was great because people came back, flocked back to come and see us. but one to have rules of the health department is that we can't broadcast any tv sports or anything outside. so the thing is, when the new orders calm out, we were pushed -- came out, we were pushed further, okay? it limits the amount of people we can have coming into the restaurant. we've said, look, it's a strict 90 minutes to come in and dine. so if we're going to have people for 90 minutes, a lot of people

are doing this, what does it matter what's on tv? the bigger part of that is the super bowl's a always a busy day. it's beautiful weather here, we have these great tvs, and the whole idea is that people could two outside and not go inside and spread the covid. is so what's going to happen on the super bowl, everybody's going to be forced to go back inside. so it's frustrating, you know? we're trying to get this thing knocked out, and we're getting there, but it's a little bit frustrating and disappointing. ainsley: do you feel like -- we continue to do these stories. we're excited for these guys and then something, it's like you take one step forward and then two steps back. is that how you feel? >> yeah. we've had a lot of steps forward and a lot of steps back. i think we're getting close to the stepping back period finally, the numbers, you know, i saw the numbers in l.a. county went down pretty big over the last week. look, nobody's prepared for this thing, you know in it's a

executive orders and without checks and balances, you know, becoming a law, going through congress, laying the foundation for democrats to go all in on their vow to change america like this. >> we have one goal, big, bold change in america. we are going to get that the change no matter what. there is such a demand. three huge issues we have to do, climate -- huge issue base in the country -- racial and economic inequality which has gotten worse, not better, which demands change and justice in a big, bold way. and improving our democracy. making d.c. a state, automatic voter registration, getting rid of citizens united. steve: well, that's what he can want, but does that vision of america line up with what voters wanted and what they voted for in 2020? here now, as you can see, is reporter for the washington examiner selena diaz. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: the democrats are in exactly the same spot they were

in 2009. they've got the white house, they've got the house, they've got the senate, and they thought it meant let's jam through whatever we want. and they tried to and two years later, boom, they lost the control of the unified government. that really should be their worry. if they overdo it, come two years, curtainses. >> right. exactly. this is a problem that politicians make, really often. they, you know, voters keep sending them a message with their votes, and they keep misreading it. democrats are looking at their majority and saying, oh, you know, we won the house, we have the senate, we have the presidency, but they don't look at the details. in particular if, look at the house races. they were predicted to get double-digit gains in the u.s. house. instead republicans gained 12 states. they were expected to win several senate races, they didn't. it's tied. and look down ballot. they were expected to win

statehouses, state legislative chambers across the country. what happened in they not only didn't win them, they lost them. steve: right. >> so voters are telling them, slow down, put the brakes on it. we want something a little more even. they know not telling them we want big, bold change. they got that wrong in 2009, as you point out, and they're heading in the same road right now currently. steve: well, and you look -- well, that's when they go through the house and the senate. they go through congress. right now we're at the stage where joe biden is signing a whole bunch of executive orders. and you had an op-ed over the weekend in "the new york post," biden's climate executive orders devastated these u.s. workers in a day. we're talking about how with the stroke of a pen he got rid of the xl keystone pipeline. and so people are thinking, okay, that was 11,000 jobs. but in your column, you start by talking about a woman who bought a hotel in south dakota in

september, and that day she was in tears because later in the day she had started the day with a full house. by the end of the day, it was a ghost town. but it doesn't just affect the workers impacted by the oil and gas industry, it also affects the lady who owns the hotel, the people who run the grocery store, the hardware store, the package store, the school, the taxes. you name it. these executive orders have wide-ranging impacts. >> yes, absolutely true. it's not just the direct hit on the worker or their family. it impacts their communities, how their schools are funded, the barbershops. as you said, this hotel. i'm talking to laurie cross at the hotel the, he just is weeping and, of course, i kind of wept too because you can feel that impact when policy picks winners and losers, there's always sort of someone that's

left, you know, in the carnage. and there are, you know, i also talked to a growsly store owner in -- grocery store owner in louisiana. not only do they have the grocery store that feeds the families of the oil rig workers, but they also cater to them several times a day. that business is gone. steve: right. you know, we talked just about two hours ago, salena, with an oil field worker who was laid off about a month ago because his bosses saw that joe biden was the new president and knew that things would change. but the biden administration's been very quickment all those people laid off, we're going to get them new, better, smart green energy jobs that are union jobs. we talked to joe about that, and these are his prospects according to him. >> to me, it's not feasible to do solar and stuff like that. jobs, they're noncounterin the united states -- nonexistent in

the united states. they're offering you can get retraining and stuff like that or you can go down to walmart or the grocery stores right now, and they'll give you a job that's not even a third, less than a quarter with of what i was making. steve: so guys like joe would like to know what biden is talking about with these new green energy jobs, the union jobs. because right now he doesn't have a job. >> yes, that is absolutely truement -- true. while these green energy jobs sound fantastic, the truth is not only is the salary far below what these workers are used to making, they're also nonexistent. or if they are existent, they have to uproot their families in the communities where they have been for generations. and those ties are incredibly important to people. steve: yeah, no kidding. all right, salena, thank you very much for joining us. always enjoyable to read your columns. thank you, ma'am. >> thank you.

[laughter] janice: no, it's going to be like this throughout today, and the worst of it really coming this afternoon through this evening when those winds begin to pick up and the low offshore really cranks up and strengthens with wind gusts 50, 60 miles per hour. so blizzard conditions are anticipated in some of these regions where we're getting the heavy snow band. depending on where those heavy snow bands move inland, we could be dealing with 1-3 inches an hour. so that's going to dump a lot of

snow, in terms of totals. there are the current wind gusts of 40, 50 miles per hour along the coast. this storm really hasn't reached its height yet. that's coming later on this afternoon into this evening, and not only today, but overnight tonight into tuesday we'll get another burst of snow tuesday afternoon, tuesday evening. so this is going to be a long duration event. people are urged to stay inside, make sure that the plows are doing their job and you're off the roads. winter storm warnings in effect again from new york city, philadelphia, west and north of new york up towards boston and much of maine as well. here's additional snow, we've already received 6, 7 inches in and around the new york city area, an additional 8-12. scranton, over a foot for you. looks like, boston, you're going to be on the lower end of these snow totals but, again, we're into a situation of now casting where snow is hard to forecast,

so we'll be doing it as it happens throughout the day today. back to you. steve: janice, thank you very much. in addition to the snow there's high winds, and the worry people will lose electricity which is the last thing you want during a blizzard. meanwhile, 18 minutes before the top of the hour, kamala harris, our vice president, getting national attention for her remarks about the challenges specifically facing west virginia and the administration's climate agenda. ainsley: according to the vice president, all of those skilled workers who are in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with reclaiming abandoned land mines, what we need to do around plunging leaks from oil and gas wells and transferring those important skills to the work that is yet to be done. brian: the interview came as a surprise to a west virginia senator. here is senator joe manchin. >> 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. but with we need to work together. that's not a way of working together, what was done. brian: yeah, he is fired up. ben domenech is the publisher of "the federalist," fox news contributor. does joe biden having a democrat problem, and were we just watching it? >> i think he does actually, brian, kind of unexpectedly. we really are in the early days of this biden administration if, we aren't seeing what we were told. the talk of unity, of being at the center of the political debate, all of that's gone out the window. what we're really seeing is more what you would expect from a kamala harris administration, one that is going to be california, authoritarian, leftist, going to lean hard into environmental issues and into culture war issues, especially in the early days of this administration. we've seen that happen through all of these executive orders. and that's really, i think, or ticking off someone like joe

manchin this early in the process is a real mistake politically. it's something that you with absolutely need in terms of advancing your agenda, and i just have to say the comment about the abandoned land mines, where does kamala harris think she is, in some kind of war zone? did she confuse west virginia with some kind of hollowed-out kind of country that has that problem? i realize it's a verbal stumbling, but the truth is it speaks to how distanced she is to all the voters who ended up being the difference in states like pennsylvania and elsewhere. steve: joe biden not only has a democrat problem, but he's also got a republican problem. we would all like to see something done funding wise for covid relief because a lot of people are hurting. the democrats have a $1.9 trillion bill, the republicans are going to go in, ten u.s. senators, later today because they said, you know, nobody from the administration has reached out to us, so we're going to

reach out to the white house. and joe biden smartly said, okay, come on in, let's talk it over. do you think joe biden, who ran on unity and being bipartisan, can actually get something done where somebody like bernie sanders says let's just ram it through, is he going the take over? >> i think the bernie side of this argument is a lot stronger than biden's side. biden may be sitting down with these republicans in order to talk to them, but i think it's just going to end up being talk which is a mistake, from my intereducative. perspective. if he really wanted to achieve bipartisan end and open up the opportunity to get some other things done, then i think he would be reaching out to all of these folks who are closer to the center. instead, what we've seen from this administration in day as soon as he finished giving that unity speech, he went over to the white house and just started signing order after order that was extremely controversial, piling them up in the early days. and for all the complaints about

authoritarianism that existed under president trump, i think under president biden what we're seeing thus far is he's not really interested in doing the work to achieve the bipartisan goals. he's always been someone who talks like a bipartisan but ruled and governed and led within the senate as a partisan member, someone who really advanced those partisan goals without trying to reach across party lines. ainsley: twitter employees, they heavily favored biden over trump. brian: wow. ainsley: when you look at the campaign donations from twitter employees and their family members, biden got almost 200,000 and trump 3,000. steve: hey, hold it. who gave $3,000? investigate them. brian: yep. [laughter] ainsley: what's your reaction? >> you know, you say that kind of jokingly, but i wonder if that's going to happen. it's one of these things where i do think that we all is have reached a point now where we recognize these big tech companies are mono-partisan. they have an agenda, they have an ideology that is interested in redirecting the world as they

see fit. they see weak leadership in the political side of the spectrum in america at the moment, and they believe that they have a path forward that looks like a lot of different things, but it's corporatist, it restricts your speech, it restrictses your thought. and keep in mind, you know, this is a company led by the same person who gave $10 million to this radical race-based agenda led by abram x kennedy that talks about critical race theory and his best selling book which is going to be a project on netflix. i think that's something we really should be concerned about. these companies, they don't like you. they don't like your beliefs. they certainly don't like the fact that you've still got your gun and your bible, and i think we're going to see them continue to try to work to crush people in the coming days who are just normal people expressing their beliefs. brian: right. ben domenech if, very normal person. i think steve and ainsley agree.

calling on her to lift the state's ban on winter contact sports. their effort getting a boost from former detroit red wing superstar darren mccarty who had this to say to whitmer. >> please, governor, give us -- everything you've ever wanted us to do. i'm here today to say let us play. brian: i know the city and the state means a lot to you, but why was it important to be there for that rally? >> i think that in today's -- and this isn't political, this isn't anything. i'm canadian, so to be there was to show my support. the bottom line is, why, governor? can we have an answer, please? we're not even to the point where we just want a conversation, and i think that what detroit and we're all about, especially the sports, the community is about michigan and about people. they've done the work, i asked

the question before i even went there to the people that the i respect, and we're not getting an answer. so if i show up and bring some awareness to it so that they can get an answer to that we can move on, that's what i'm doing. brian: a lot of non-athletes think this is all about going pro. it has nothing to do with that. not even scholarship. it's about the interactions, the coming together as a team, the banding together, the wins, the las losses. you're not going to replace that by being cautious. >> here's the thing, at the end of the line when brings me into this is the mental health issue. there's an 18-year-old senior who took his life, he was a senior. and i understand, aye live -- i've lived mental health. it's about the communication. and in michigan starting from the head of the athletic association all the way down to the people in charge, isn't it saying something in the governor's say, well, you guys have done this for so long, and

everybody knows what's at stake. brian: right. >> just give us an answer, please. brian: so these are the sports they banned, football, baseball, rugby, soccer, lacrosse, boxing. 30,000 rapid tests done, guess what? three fall sports, 99.8% came back negative. and guess what? 99.9%, if they got it, would beat it, get back out on the ice, on the court, on the field. also don't you believe that it's a great lesson to the kids? in life there are obstacles, we find a way? the ref might be bad, the field might be bad, the directions might be bad, but you find a way to show up and win? >> you imagine being at the end of this covid era and what they've had to go through and percent veer? i mean, the one thing that i've got to say is that the students in michigan and the young kids in michigan that are coming forward that stood up there and spoke are well represented moving forward.

so that said, governor, give us an answer. call me. text me, i'll give you my number. brian: your star power could make the difference in the end. we appreciate you joining us today. >> thank you, brian. appreciate that. bruin brian you got it. meanwhile, we called the governor's office, we didn't get a statement, did not hear back. more "fox & friends" in just a moment.
