buzz meter, on apple itunes or amazon device, any place you get really good pod casts. we'll be back here next sunday, 11:00 a.m. eastern. we'll see you then with the latest buzz. enjoy the game. eric: the battle over reopening schools during the pandemic is heating up on this sunday. chicago mayor lori lightfoot tomorrow planning to lock teachers out of remote learning if they don't show up for in-person classs in the morning and the teachers' union in philadelphia telling members not to report to schools tomorrow over safety concerns about the coronavirus in our of classrooms. hello, everyone. welcome to america's news headquarters. here on the fox news channel. i'm eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hi, everyone. some parents are saying their children are struggling with
9:01 am
remote learning. critics telling the white house to follow the science, take the recommended safety precautions and reopen schools and do it now. mark meredith is live with more. hi, mark. >> reporter: good afternoon. the white house says it's waiting for final cdc guidance to get a better idea of when schools could safely reopen. pressure is building on president biden to take a more direct stance on the issue as teachers unions in two major cities are refusing to let their staff go back to work for now. unions in philadelphia and chicago vowing not to let teachers return to class because of concerns about safety precautions and the slow rollout of vaccinations. local leaders are accusing the unions of dragging their feet on reopening, chicago's school system threatening to lock teachers out of online teaching if they don't get back to work. last week the newly named cdc
9:02 am
director says the data suggests that schools can safely reopen and mass vaccinations are not a requirement for getting kids back in the classroom. that language was later walked back. the white house is trying to walk a fine line in establishing president biden's position. >> the president is absolutely committed to reopening schools. he wants them not just to reopen but to stay open. he wants to do that in a safe way. we're going to rely on cdc guidance which again is not officially out yet, to determine the best way to do it. >> reporter: now, during the campaign president biden vowed to be the most pro-union president he could be. he also pledged to reopen most of the nation's kindergarten through 8 schools within his first 100 days in office. the white house insists it's still possible but they need more money through a stimulus package to get the job done. republicans, they are not sold on this logic. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell tweeting congress spent massive sums for schools in 2020, hardly any of it has
9:03 am
been spent yet. federal funding is not the issue. it's big labor moving the goal post on kids and parents. when you look at the campaign data of donations that have been out there, where you see the nea donating significantly overwhelmingly to democrat candidates, causes, that's not necessarily new or of surprising. it establishes the close ties that the unions are going to have with democratic decision makers and the other x factor in all of this, something that so many parents no all too well and both parties admit is a real problem is the mental health consequences of keeping students out of the classroom. we hear reports of suicides increasing, mental health issues, that will be a big part of the he debate. you can bet with so many teachers wanting to know if they're going back, unions trying to decide how to take a stance and the white house having to balance the priorities, this will be an issue that's not going away any time soon. arthel: hopefully for the sake of the students, the parents and everybody -- teachers as well, everybody, that they can rectify
9:04 am
this fairly quickly. mark meredith, thank you. eric. eric: so, should you send your child to school and what if your district only imposes remote learning. the chicago teachers face a moment of truth to show up or not show up in the morning. charlie hurd is with us. do you think the teachers union in chicago will strike in the morning and boycott over the demands to get students back in the classroom? >> certainly i wouldn't be surprised if they do. but i think stepping back a little bit, i think that what's so interesting about this whole story is just how much the political winds have shifted over the past eight or 10 months, people like mayor lori loughlin were among the earliest, strongest proponents of shutting down for the virus and without passing judgment on all of that, clearly what they have heard, what people like her
9:05 am
have heard from actual parents in her city about the ramifications of these shutdowns has been pretty amazing and i've always sort of all along thought that the politics of this pandemic are going to be playing out for a very, very long time. the fact that she has changed her position on all of this and is taking a very, very hard stance with her own teachers union, i think shows just how volatile the political situation is regarding all of this. and the fact that -- eric: that's a pretty tough -- you're right, that is -- to say you're going to get locked out in the morning if you tonight show up in the classroom, we're locking you out so you can't teach your class. >> that's full ronald reagan on air traffic controllers from a democrat mayor in a very democrat city who has always been a huge friend of unions, is a big believer in unions and, i mean, standing up to unions for anybody is a very difficult
9:06 am
thing. but especially in a place like chicago, for a democrat to be doing it, just sort of underscores just how much she must be hearing from parents and how upset parents -- and of course these are also parents who are largely democrat voters who are usually in line with unions and democratic values, so it really does underscore just how -- what a potent political issue this has become. eric: what about the real concerns that teachers have that the unions have expressed that school districts are not prepared properly? you've had teachers die in florence, south carolina, a kindergarten teacher died, houston, nashville, in san diego, manatee, florida, 97 students and staff quarantined because there were cases. what do you say to the teachers and the staff, the custodial staff that are concerned about coronavirus and what do you say to the parents who say, look, if there really is an issue, i'm
9:07 am
not going to endanger my child? >> no, it's obviously a very difficult situation. nobody is -- i don't think anybody is discounting that. obviously, the spread among children and the ability for children, the science suggests that children are not major vectors for the virus and a all of these things have to be taken -- quite frankly, i would have argued from the beginning that this is why trying to play politics with the pandemic is a very, very dangerous thing. pandemics are horrible. that's the whole -- that's why they're called pandemics, because they're terrible and they do create lots of -- it's obviously lethal. it kills people. it's a hour of i'll thing. but of course -- horrible thing. but of course the other side of it is, it's not like these parents who live in chicago who pay all of their taxes to pay for teachers to be teaching their children in the public school system, it's not like they're getting their money back because the teachers aren't
9:08 am
teaching or they're not showing up to work. it's a real difficult situation. and i would imagine if those parents could actually get their money back, they would gladly enroll their children in private schools. which is something that we're not really faced with that because nobody's getting all their tax dollars back at the moment. eric: you're right. i never heard of a tax rebate for municipal services not rendered. you're right, charlie. finally, the administration plans this week to present guidelines, what do you think they'll be, for example, 24 states mandate that teachers are in a group, as a group, that can be vaccinated but that means 24 states still don't include teachers as those first responders, the first group to get vaccinated. >> i do think that's going to be an area where you're going to see some agreement or some negotiation. i know that in washington, d.c., journalists are considered vital workers and they're at the top
9:09 am
of the list for getting the vaccine which i think is kind of come call because i -- comical, because i wouldn't put -- no disrespect to you, but i wouldn't put myself at the top of the list of essential workers, especially what you consider what a lot of other people -- garbage men, for example, what they have to do to make sure the streets get cleaned throughout every week of this. i imagine there will be some negotiation in terms of trying to put teachers on that list of vital workers who should get -- if anybody, if we're not going to do it just straight on age and we're going to do it by -- based on who is performing services that are vitale important, then i could see teachers being in that list. if that opens up to schools and gets kids back into schools. eric: i agree with you on that on journalism. journalism, objective, free and fair journalism is essential in the nation. i'm going to the back of the line.
9:10 am
just because you raise your at a news conference -- i'm with you on that. one more topic, immigration. the president wants a pathway to citizenship over eight years for illegal immigrants. he has dropped president trump's asylum requirement that required the three central american countries, guatemala, el salvador and honduras, that immigrants coming through there have to get -- wanting you asylum in the us, they have to get through the process there first. what does it do? does it make it easier for more my grants to try to flow into our country? >> it opens up -- turns on a neon welcome sign for migrants to try to come to the border. one of the successes of the trump administration was dealing with the caravans and dealing with the flow of migrants into the country at the southern border which of course leads to all kinds of horrible, horrible situations, not only is it bad for americans and american
9:11 am
workers, but it's also really bad for those people who take that dangerous trek across the desert to come to our of bore decks only to be stopped at the -- border, only to be stopped at the border. through those agreements that the trump administration made with those central american countries, to stop the flow in the first place, that was a tremendous success and i'm really scratching my head as to why joe biden -- i understand joe biden has a different political philosophy about what to do about illegal immigration and what to do with illegals who are already in the country but the idea that he wants to open that can of worms back up and have these caravans coming back to the border, creating the situation where you have to detain people at the border, you have to separate children from adults, it's a he very complicated situation and for the life of me i can't understand why joe biden would reverse those things that everybody will agree fixed that part of the problem at the
9:12 am
border. it seems like a -- he's asking for problems that he just doesn't need. eric: yeah, well, sadly -- and they are still -- especially those three countries. finally, do you think -- he's announced a bundle of money to try to help the situation and we've had that before in the trump administration. can whatever american taxpayers throw at central america, can that stop the in-flow of illegal immigrants? >> well, we've seen under the trump administration that it really did and if you talk to border patrol people and the people who study that flow to the border, it was a tremendous success and i get that people want to politicize everything but if you take the politics out of it, you can't deny that that was one of the successes and you're right, obviously they -- the trump administration sent money, not only to mexico but other central american countries to help build a buffer there so that people wouldn't cross through three or four countries to get to our country, not because they're seeking asylum.
9:13 am
you're supposed to seek asylum in the first country you reach. it was a tremendous success. why joe biden wants to undo that is beyond me because he will come to greatly regret that because it's not -- it's not a winner for them. eric: all right, charlie, always good to see you. thank you for joining us. >> great to see you. eric: arthel. arthel: a black lives matter watch turning chaotic after several in the crowd who appeared to be members of antifa threatened to burn down d.c. let's go to david spunt, live in washington, with details. david. >> reporter: good afternoon. this began yesterday afternoon. it started out very peaceful. authorities in d.c. were on march with several different groups. they're trying to put it all together right now. yesterday afternoon into the evening, as you mentioned there were some tense altercations. i want to point out it started out piecefuly as a way -- peacefully as a way to honor
9:14 am
black history month. then a little chaos ensued as night fell. several different groups joined in large numbers, those on the ground spotted what appears from what we can tell to be an antifa flag. this happened north of dupont circle in washington, d.c. several videos show d.c. police pushing protesters back. no serious injuries to report. that is the good news. or arrests. those on the scene noted the flag was an anti-fascist action flag, carried by a group yelled in black. the group said, quote, we are leer tonight, black lives matter and despite black lives matter, black people are still dying at the hands of police, paid for by our tax dollars. speaking of police, the washington, d.c. metropolitan police department tells us there were no arrests last night and again no serious injuries. arthel. arthel: thank you, david. eric. eric: arthel, the centers for

eric: in new york city the house that ruth built, babe ruth had, now the site of the latest vaccination center as new yorkers have lined up for the coronavirus vaccine. but there are troubling reports that elsewhere hundreds of vaccine doses went unused. alex hogan live in new york city with that disturbing report. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, eric. as this storm rolls in, new york governor andrew cuomo is announcing there will be even more cancellations for vaccine appointments. now, 976,000 vaccination doses have already been administered in the city but of course not without some distribution problems that we've seen. so last week council member mark
9:20 am
trager tweeted a video of a vaccine site in he coney island that did not have any patients inside. he called out the city, saying that he was told the center didn't update its website for available appointments. >> i already knew that we had a shortage of supply in the city. but what i also witnessed was a shortage of urgency and a shortage of getting this right. >> reporter: the city health department responding telling fox today, quote, sites were open that day to accommodate a limited number of rescheduled appointments from the prior week. every dose was used over the course of the weekend. the mayor receiving and addressing the vaccination efforts and lack of accessibility for minority groups and to fix the disparity it's opening week he end for the city's largest vaccine mega site. de blasio and other you lawmakers celebrating the transformation of yangy stayed -- yankee stadium. it has the highest rate of
9:21 am
covid-19. workers explain that no ones is allowed inside without an appointment for health and safety reasons. already, all 15,000 appointments this week are booked as the city ramps up the rollout of doses. new york is expanding the eligibility for vaccine qualifications to people who have pre-existing conditions and that will begin on february 15th. new york governor andrew cuomo announcing a positive change that today is the first day of the lowest hospitalization numbers in new york since christmas day. eric. eric: that is really encouraging. alex hogan reporting in the snow, more than eight inches expected in manhattan. thanks, alex, arthel. arthel: thank you. the cdc now reports that more than 39 million doses of the covid vaccine have been administered so far. that's about 66% of what has been distributed. and this comes just days after
9:22 am
johnson & johnson asked the fda for emergency use authorization for its one shot vaccine. with the agency setting a meeting on that for review later this month. that means that pretty soon the u.s. could have three vaccine options. here is dr. anthony fauci. >> right now, this is what we have. these are the contractual arrangements. they're coming off the line as quickly as we k and as i mentioned, not only will there be more moderna and a pfizer does as we get through march and april, but then we'll get j&j or jansen online. we heard about the favorable reports. that's a single dose vaccine. so things will continue to get better. arthel: joining us now is dr. aashish jha. thank you for joining us. i want to acknowledge the more than 460,000 americans who have
9:23 am
died of covid-19. and now to that johnson & johnson single shot covid-19 vaccination, if it gets approved by the fda, seems like that's what dr. fauci is saying, it does have to go under review which i understand is going to take place february 26th. the cdc will ultimately decide if it will get distributed and who gets priority. but here's the question regarding that. should people be worried that if they take the johnson & johnson shot that they will have less protection than those who take the pfizer or moderna double shots? >> first of all, thanks for having me on. it's a really good question. the short answer in my mind is no. i'll tell you why. so first of all, the headline number for johnson & johnson is a little lower. but rex it was also being tested against the south africa variant. against the u.s. kind of main dominant variant, the j&j
9:24 am
vaccine is almost as good in terms of headline numbers. but the real number, the one that we really care about, is hospitalizations and deaths. and the johnson & johnson vaccine appears to be every bit as good as moderna and pfizer in preventing hospitalizations and deaths. arthel: if the pfizer and moderna shots were not tested against the south african variant, will they still protect us from that variant and any other variant that might crop up? >> so far, the evidence says that almost all of these vaccines are going to perform a little bit less well against the south africa variant. that basically means people are maybe more likely to still get infected. obviously, that's not great news. but they do all still seem to be -- again, this is preliminary. but they seem to be effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths, even against the south africa variant. a lot more to sort out. i think all of these vaccines are still looking reasonably good even against that variant. arthel: will we eventually have
9:25 am
a choice in which shot we can take? >> i can imagine late into spring or summer people very well might. i think right now we're really just focusing on getting people whatever vaccines we have available. i mean, certainly there's no real difference between pfizer and moderna and so people don't have -- generally don't have a choice and they shouldn't worry about it. they're about the same. j&j is a single dose. that's an advantage for many people, maybe people who are slightly less high risk are going to get that first. i think we'll have to sort all this stuff out. by the time we get to the summer, we might have four, five, six vaccines authorized at which point people may have choices. arthel: what if you have already had both of the pfizer or moderna shots? you've been through the two week or so incubation period. you've got the full effect of the vaccination. what are you free to do now? i mean, can you travel finally to go see your family? what else can you do?
9:26 am
>> so first of all, i think there are two things for people to think about. first of all, obviously if you've gotten both of your shots, you are far more protected, far less likely to get sick. we've seen nobody die of the virus once they've been vaccinated. it may not be 100%. while there's still a large outbreak happening around you, it doesn't dramatically change behavior. it's when other people start getting vaccinated, the number of infections come down. i think a lot of the things we value like getting together for a cup of coffee or going and seeing your parents and traveling, all of that becomes much, much easier and much, much safer with the vaccine. so my take is, i've gotten one dose so far. ism going to get my second dose in a couple of weeks. and my expectation is that probably won't dramatically change my behavior in the very short run. but in the weeks that follow, hopefully as a lot more people get vaccinated, we'll all be able to do a lot more. arthel: right now, my mom has both of her shots.
9:27 am
she's in her incubation period right now. once she hits that point, can she travel to come see me, for instance? >> i think if the outbreaks are not large -- this is the problem. 95% protection means you still have some risk. if there's a large outbreak happening in your community, even that some risk can be a bit challenging. in terms of your mom, i would say can she travel? much, much safer to travel after she's gotten the second dose, much safer to see and spend time with family. so it is -- i do think it makes a dramatic difference on those things. arthel: what if where you got your first shot no longer has vaccines for your second shot? what do you do? can you mix brands? >> we have no data about mixing brands. this has been a really interesting question. the u.k. is doing some studies on mixing and matching. and there's theoretically it might be okay. what the cdc is saying right now is if you absolutely have to, you can but you really should
9:28 am
avoid it. largely because we're in an evidence-free zone. we haven't studied it. so most places that -- any place that's given you the first dose will be able to get the second dose. if it's delayed by a week or two, i wouldn't worry about it. no reason to believe that's going to cause any problems but you need to get the second dose ideally the same second dose. arthel: what if it's beyond two or three weeks, really quickly, because i have one last question i want to squeeze in. >> it's not great. i think again, we want to get it as soon as possible. even beyond that, you do need that second dose and you need it as soon as you can get it. arthel: okay. should teachers be tops on the vaccination priority list, so they can feel safe to get back into classrooms? >> yeah, i think there's almost nothing as socially important as getting kids back to school. having kids at home has been a devastating thing and i think we should be doing everything we can to get kids back to school and i have advocated that and a lot of states, i think the thing that will make teachers feel
9:29 am
more comfortable and feel safer is vaccinating them. i'm supportive of that if that helps get kids back into school. arthel: so teachers should be top on the list so they can feel safe to go back to classrooms, kids can learn in the classrooms which is best for them? yes? >> absolutely. arthel: thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: eric. eric: good advice for mom and for teachers. coming up, winter storm bringing heavy snow to the northeast less than one week after a previous storm pounded the area. and this. fox nation, discovering new clues in what happened to jimmy hoffa. will authorities act on what we found under a dirty plot of industrial land in new jersey? our is airing on our streaming service, fox nation, riddle, the search for james hoffa, what we discovered, exactly where it's claimed jimmy

9:35 am
testimony. it is moving very quickly. we're not going to see that 20 to 30 inches of snow that folks saw a week ago. instead, we're going to be seeing snowfalls getting closer to only a couple of inches here in new york city. there will be areas outside of some of the major metropolitan areas where you'll see more snow, that's something we'll be paying attention to. you run into areas of new england, there are going to be spots getting up to six inches of snow, eight inches of snow. this is so quick moving, it's out of here by 6:00 p.m. on the backside of this system, boy does it get cold. look at the temperatures, particularly getting back into the great lakes, the upper midwest. those are your current temperatures. you put in the wind chill or what it feels like when you step outside, areas getting down to negative 20, negative 30. we could see spots at negative 50 over the course of this sunday, plenty of reason to stay home and stay inside. and enjoy that warmth. where it is a little warmer, getting down into florida, tampa, where we have the super bowl. it has been a soggy morning there but the good news is, if
9:36 am
you want a little bit of offense, all of that rain, those systems will be clearing up. we're looking at a nice forecast by the time football rolls around this afternoon so that will be great. back to you. arthel: adam, that's about six hours from now with the kansas city chiefs facing off against the tampa bay buccaneers and the big game is going to look a little different this year. phil keating is live in tampa with the details. hey, phil. >> reporter: hi, arthel. happy super bowl sunday. in fact, super bowl sunday is here, the most unique in the nfl's history, unique because of the coronavirus pandemic and all of the health and safety restrictions that are in place. but the excitement level is still very rich. there may be fewer fans in raymond james stadium tonight, there will be the least amount of fans than any super bowl in the previous 54. and there's also going to be the two quarterbacks, the big matchup, the old versus the
9:37 am
young. you've got the goat, the greatest of all time, tom brady, versus the young guy, patrick mahomes of kansas city, the hottest quarterback of the past two seasons and the game is tonight. take a live look at the south side of the footprint of raymond james stadium. fans are gearing up, the grills are out, people are wearing their jerseys. building up the excitement, although we are still hours away from when ticket holders can actually enter the stadium. for the first time in super bowl history, one of the two teams playing is playing in their home state stadium, the -- stadium, the result all week long tampa bay has been rocking in super bowl spirit, nightly fireworks, downtown from the city's pirate ship, the super bowl fan experience spread out over of four locations around the riverwalk and crowds of buccaneers, chiefs and football fans in general soaking in all the energy. due to coronavirus, this is a
9:38 am
very different super bowl, mask wearing is mandatory at all events. if you are caught not wearing a face mask, you'll get the yellow flag. to get inside the stadium, you first have to get a health screening including a temperature check and this will be the least attended super bowl ever, just 25,000 spectators out of capacity of 75,000. so that's one-third full. in fact, life-size cutouts that fans paid a hundred bucks for will outnumber real people in the stands, there's 30,000 of them. for tom brady this will be his record 10 super bowl appearance, his attempt to win another record seventh super bowl. for quarterback patrick mahomes this is his second straight super bowl. he's hoping to repeat the comeback performance in miami last year where in the third quarter with 13 minutes left he drove them and beat the 49ers
9:39 am
who dominated and led all game. sarah thomas will be inside the stadium all day long wearing the stripes, the first woman ever to officiate a super bowl. arthel, sorry your saints aren't in it. arthel: sorry what? >> reporter: i said sorry your saints didn't make it. arthel: thank you. i'm depressed now. okay, threw me for a loop there. still sad about that. but you know, it is what it is. and here we are. and you've got, what, brady, you've got mahomes and i'm going to be talking to another all-time favorite qb, yep, joe namath, coming up in a minute. >> reporter: broadway joe. arthel: yeah. i'm also reading for sarah thomas, it's about time, that we have a female ref in the super bowl. all right, phil, miss seeing you. talk to you later. bye. eric. eric: joe namath coming up. can't wait for that. in california, indoor service is
9:40 am
resuming at a limited capacity sis sunday for some california churches, after the supreme court shut down the state's on in-person reledge us gatherings. -- religious gatherings. christina coleman has the latest on what parishoners are doing. >> reporter: singing and chanting is still restricted at worship services but this is still a big legal win for the churches in this case. i am at saint monica catholic church in santa monica. it is part of the archdiocese of la which is huge with some 5 million catholics. and this archdiocese released a statement saying they are gratified by the supreme court's ruling. late friday, the high court blocked california from enforcing its covid related bans on indoor worship services. however, as i mentioned, the court left in place the covid rules with singing and chanting and limit on attendance. this comes after a case in new
9:41 am
york last year, the divided supreme court blocked the state from imposing certain attendance limits on churches and synagogues. it was good news to two large california churches here in this state, fighting the covid restrictions here, harvest rock church and harvest international ministry and south united church, they argue the covid restrictions violated their religious liberties. here's a pastor from god speak chapel, one of the churches that's defying the state's ban, he said he's grateful on the latest court ruling. >> it's a step in the right direction. it's interim relief. read the data. it doesn't hold water. we've been wide open since may 31st. it just doesn't merit what they're saying. >> reporter: however, the three liberal judges on the court dissented from the decision to lift california's indoor service ban, one wrote in the worst public health crisis in a
9:42 am
century, this forray cannot end well. prior to the ruling, indoor church services in california were not allowed in counties with widespread risk of spreading covid which was the majority of the state. state officials argued that singing could more easily transmit the virus. as for churches in this case, this is a huge legal win against the state's covid restrictions. there's been plenty of lawsuits filed over the past year over some of the state's lockdown orders including the order to ban outdoor dining. eric. eric: all right, christina, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: iran with demands for the biden administration if it wants to re-enter the 2015 nuclear deal but president biden making demands of his own. a look at relations between washington and tehran, up next. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage.
