mike: fox news alert, mike emanuel in washington. we want to take you to chicago where mayor light'is giving update for parents on schools. let's listen. >> agreement that opens up the school doors for safe in-person learning for our prek cluster and k through 8 students. this agreement was about making sure everyone in our school communities just aren't safe but also that they feel safe and feel that they lived experience and fears and frustrations have

been heard. and pending the ratification of this tentative agreement by the ecu house of delegates, this important milestone marks the moment for each of us to reflect and to heal. we need to do this for our city, for our communities and for our families and most importantly for our children. i want to first specifically speak to students and parents. as a parent of a 12-year-old i know that the last year has been especially hard on you. we were compelled to close schools last spring on short notice stand up remote infrastructure that too many of you trying to navigate with all of the support that we would have liked. we learned a lot from the

experience. cpi worked diligently to provide more devices, better connectivity through chicago connected and other supports for students and families, but we still all know there's no replacement for the kind of support and security and certainty that in-person learning provides. i have watched remote learning classes and i know how hard it has been for so many of you. at times i have walked away having borne witness with a broken heart because i know that we must do better for you. it is these experiences and my own as a parent that have made me more determined to make sure that every parent has the opportunity to make a learning plan for their child that is best for them. that is what the struggle has been all about. i also know that this very

public dispute over the last few weeks has absolutely been the hardest on you, our parents and our students. you have told me directly and you have told us that you feel like as parents and students, you have been held hostage and they your voices have been drowned out. i want you to know that i am we have heard you. mike: you're listening to chicago mayor lori lightfoot, big battle between the mayor's office and the teachers union, they reached a tentative deal taking the final steps in terms of getting children back in the classroom will require ratification from the teachers themselves. we will see if that happens. mark meredith following all of this from wilmington, delaware traveling with the president today, good afternoon, mark. mark: mike, good afternoon to you. parents are frustrated and local leaders are up access and

teachers split on whether or not it's safe to go to school or not. it's been a big issue in chicago and looks like they have a possible agreement there, there's still a lot of questions about other cities across the country as they try to decide when is the best time to get back to school. we heard from so many of the teachers unions that are concerned about ventilation in school and not strong rollout of the vaccines for teachers nationwide. local leaders have been claiming that the unions have been dragging their feet the whole time saying they have been doing what they can to keep remote learning and teachers out of classroom. as for president biden, it's not only focused on health and education, this is a political issue. the president has been trying to decide what's the best line here to walk because he has a lot of support from teachers and teachers unions and trying to understand what the health community is going to recommend from the cdc. we heard from the white house press secretary on friday as they try to guide what school districts should do next. >> 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 and we are going to rely on cdc guidance which, again, is not officially out yet to determine the best way to do it. mark: now, the white house says schools can reopen faster if congress approves $1.9 trillion package. this is a deal that's been worked on but likely going to pass on party lines without any republican support and so it's interesting as we are hearing from a number of republicans saying, well, why are schools not open already that include senator ron johnson of wisconsin. >> follow science supports policy prescriptions. the science says that children are not generally car years, the seasonal flu is much more dangerous to children than covid is so why not open up the schools? mark: that's an argument we heard from a number of republican lawmakers and i imagine a lot of parents as

well. when you look at some of the donations that have been brought out by the teachers unions over the years it's not necessarily a surprise, they long supported democratic candidates but when you look at the numbers you see how overwhelming donations are to democrats whether on the hill or elsewhere and we will look at the close ties that the unions may have when it comes to democratic decision makers and also talking about the mental health aspect in all of this, mike, something that you and i have talked about before. the students waiting at home wanting to know when they'll be able to go back to school or not. this news out of chicago certainly getting a lot of attention not only there but nationwide as this debate continues. mike. mike: no doubt about it, mark meredith leading us in a snowy wilmington, delaware. let's turn to texas democrat congressman henry cuellar, congressman, welcome. >> thank you so much. mike: first your reaction to chicago, third largest county, your thoughts, sir?

>> whether it's in chicago or here in laredo, texas where i'm at or san antonio, there's a debate with some of the teachers, some want to open up and some don't want to open. in fact, yesterday i had one teacher that told me let's not open up and the other one said, hey, we have to get them back to open it up. it is a difficult situation that the school boards and, of course, the texas education agencies, we do want to open up but how do we find the balance with the health of the individual? mike: is it time for the president to get tough with the teachers and say, look, you're essential workers and we need to get back in the classroom? >> some teachers are asking me if they are essential workers and as you know they are not under category 1a and 1b. so that's the thing, until we start getting vaccines, we need to go ahead and think about how

we talk to the educators. mike: now, to a story first reported by the washington post and confirmed by us here at fox news, u.s. immigration and customs enforcement preparing to issue new guidelines to agents this week that could sharp curve arrests and deportations as a member with a border district, do you find that alarming? >> you know, i've been looking at the numbers, in fact, i have called the white house and i've been trying to see if we can get the new leadership at the -- at the homeland security to tell them what i've been saying since even before the election, i said, hey, we have to be careful as to how to deal with the borders because what i'm seeing now at the borders, we are seeing groups coming in. you might not see the caravans but you're seeing large groups of 50 to 60, in fact, in my area we had 263 individuals the last weekend, two large groups, so the thing is what do you do with those individuals and then what are we do about deportation and

we have to find balance of what i have to do. i support ice, i support the men and women that are there. we just have to find that right policy and certainly we want to do that as the member of congress on the border. mike: do you worry with the new administration that migrants and smugglers may be thinking it's a little bit easier to get into the united states right now? >> oh, that's been happening for under president trump, under president obama and certainly we are seeing it now. the numbers that i've been seeing -- i talk to the men and women on the ground. i live on the border, i don't come visit. the numbers are increasing. the smugglers are very, very smart in how they do the strategy. they'll send people one area, large groups and border patrol goes over there to process those individuals, they smuggle drugs on the other side. so the drug cartels are very agile and they have strategy and they read what the policies are. so if the policies give the

impression that there's an open border which i'm not saying is an open border, then they go to try to take advanta loopholes and that's what we are seeing with unaccompanied kids and family units coming into the united states. and one last thing, mexico has just changed its migration law where they said that they're not going to detain any kids or even family units, so that even makes it harder for us to send some of those family units back to mexico. mike: latest reporting suggest fewer arrests for ice, fewer deportations and obviously president biden has taken some executive actions related to immigration. does all of that make it harder for you to get a deal on capitol hill for some kind of immigration reform which is always a tough issue? >> well, you know, i support comprehensive immigration reform, but part of that, you have to have 3 things, you have to have border security which includes deportations, you have

to have guest work e plan and what do you do with 11 million undocumented people that you have. security has to be a part of it. there are policies that we had under president obama that i think we need to look at and implement and, in fact, as you know, president obama did actually deport more people than president trump did and i say that because he focused on the people that were a threat to our security or our security or even national security. mike: so you want to hear more from the white house, sir, about the latest policy related to ice? >> oh, definitely. actually i've already placed an information so i definitely want to talk to them because, again, i don't just come visit the border, i live here at the border. i talk to the men and women that do their jobs whether it's border patrol, customs or ice or air marine, i talk to them on a daily basis. in fact, i talked to about 3 of them yesterday and i'll be talking to more later on today. mike: congressman henry cuellar

from the great state of texas, thank you so much. >> thank you, welcome back. mike: another key issue for lawmakers is impeachment. the senate trial of former president donald trump will begin on tuesday, still they say the process itself is just as important despite whatever outcome we may see and a handful of republicans like wyoming congressman liz cheney appear to agree. >> if i were in the senate i would listen to the -- the testimony, i would listen to the evidence. if you're a senator, you have a responsibility to be a juror and i think that's very important, but i obviously believe and did then that what we already know is enough for his impeachment. mike: joining us from some insight on the trump team strategy moving forward, senior adviser to the 45th president jason miller. jason, welcome. jason: mike, thank you for having me. mike: what's the approach of the former president's legal team and mounting his defense? jason: thank you once again.

what we are seeing from the democrats is cancel culture on a constitutional level. i mean, the fact of the matter is impeachment only exists for one reason and that's to remove someone from office. well, president trump is already out of office and so for the democrats to try to change the u.s. constitution to impact one man shows really how vindictive and petty they are with this but in addition to the unconstitution nature and i won't go into the facts that chief justice roberts isn't even overseeing proceedings, we also have the fact that they are trying to put the first amendment on trial. if we were to go through the list of what democrats will be comprising this jury have said just in the past year alone, we would probably have to impeach probably about half of the democratic caucus in the senate as well. the other thing that i'd point out mike as well, is we start to lay out the timeline, real timeline with some of the bad factors -- again, the events on january 6th were horrific and they should never happened and

nobody that considers supporter of president trump could participate in any violence like that because president trump is antimob violence and has been outspoken on this, but as we lay out the timelines, the democrats can't have it both ways. they can't say that the president is singularly responsible because of his speech but go backwards to things that happened before he is speaking. we will make it clear in trial this week. mike: i want to get you to respond. >> there's clear precedent for the senate moving forward on impeachment trial even after an official has left office. i don't think our job ends because the president has left office but in part because impeachment comes with provisions to remove a person from office but disqualify them from future office. mike: jason, how do you respond and is this about 2024? jason: well, i have to hand it to the senator there, he's saying the quiet part out loud.

this is all about the democrats trying to prevent president trump from coming back and running again in the future. mike, really important thing that folks at home ought to realize. after the next week or maybe a week and a half or so, democrats are going to go back to their normal ways, they'll go back to trying to raise taxes and push more terrible trade deals and all the things that the democrats on the hill go and do. they know that this has no chance of winning. there's no chance of the president actually being convicted here. this is designed to try to implement political pain, so to speak, over the course of a week, a week and a half and then they will move on. they are not even taking this seriously. mike: jason, here we are a month and a day after the mob attack on the capitol, looking back on it, do you think president trump regrets anything that happened that day in terms of perhaps something else he could have done? jason: well, i don't think that there's anything else that the president could have done. i mean, his first two tweets of the day were telling people to -- he rejects violence and to be

safe and he doesn't want any violence at all. i know that the white house had offered help to the capitol to make sure they had everything that they need and mark meadows spoke on futures with maria bartiromo right here on fox. this goes back to my earlier point, mike, the president has made clear over and over that he deplores mob violence. you would have -- even looking at his words on his speech on cheering on lawmakers on being peaceful and patriotic, that's -- that pails in comparison so some of the inflammatory rhetoric from democrats. mike: jason, we heard a lot about unity, any sign of that at all today?

jason: no, i support president trump and i make no bones about. what they are doing is pushing everyone in ideological corner. if you're on the right, you're not only going to watch these tv channels or look at certain websites. and if if you're on the left, you'll look at your channels. going after a president after he left office, will only divide the country. i think it's a real precedent for the country. mike: jason miller, adviser for the 45th president, thank you so much. much more on fox news sunday, chris wallace has exclusive interviews with chris murphy as they take part of impeachment trial and you can catch rest of exclusive interview with liz cheney, that's coming up here right after the show. mike: fox news alert, former secretary of state chuck

mike: chaos erupting at a st. louis area prison yesterday where several inmates broke free from the cells setting fires and throwing objects including mattresses and a station kery bike out -- stationery bikes and officers had to use teargas. can be felt by workers in the energy industry and some worrying that president biden's policies will only further reduce job opportunities. laid off keystone pipeline worker key allen and greg

barrett, gentlemen, welcome. >> how are you doing? good afternoon. >> lynn, let's start with you, father of 3, welding for 34 years, hired cancellation of the key -- how did the cancellation of keystone pipeline affect you? >> i have one boy going to college and i want them to have more than what i had. with them canceling this right here, it was a real shot in the foot for me because i'm home now and like i say, i need a job, and i need to take care of the children. i have to grow and make money. mike: greg, you have been a welder my understanding for more than 20 years, what are your work prospects at this point? >> well, at this time i really don't know. this was a big project, i don't really know. it's kind of the future is

uncertain. i hope we can get this changed where we can go to work. mike: we have a map we can put up on the screen showing the pipelines running through the united states of america. obviously this administration making a priority to try to shift more toward green energy. lynn, your thoughts about basically how things are looking in terms of the traditional energy industry going forward? >> it's pretty grave right now. oil and gas is what drives the world. it's not going to be solar or windmills. it's going to be oil and gas and the thing about it is there's lots and lots of people out there that's in the oil and gas industry and you look at all the taxes that are being cut out of this, laid off workers, schools are losing and the families are losing and the thing about it is like john kerry wants me to go get another off. you know what, that's a slap in the face because i pay -- paid

taxes for a long time and i don't owe nobody and i work. mike: what about that point, greg, john kerry says we will get you new jobs in the energy sector that are good paying, your thoughts? >> i hope he can hold to that but i don't see it happening. we have a lot of time invested and being doing what we do, takes a lot of time, a lot of investments, you just can't -- can't just roll over to something else doing what we do. i mean, you could be -- you could weld in power plants and i don't see, in solar panels, i don't see it in any of that with what we do. mike: lynn, what are you hearing from other colleague that is were working on the keystone xl pipeline along side you? >> they're in the same shape that all of us consumer we are

just hoping for the future and hope the best and that we get hired out somewhere because we can't put in resumes, we have to take a welding test and we have hands on stuff and we are a tight-knit source and everybody is looking and trying to find different jobs because we understand all of our jobs are temporary. i hire onto get laid off and go to another. but with biden wanting to shut down all the oil and gas he just makes it even tougher for a person like me or thousands more out there with families that's got children that they have to put food on the table and good insurance for and build them a future. mike: greg, let me give you final word from you. >> i wish i knew what the future held for the pipeline and welder, i really don't.

that's something these projects take a long time going through all the red tape and the government. it's not like they just happen overnight. the contractors and the -- and the gas companies themselves, they anticipated this big job so they probably did not put the permits in place to get any other thing going and they were anticipating this job for a long time. i'm sure that a lot of the newer projects are not going to be able to come right along because they have a lot to go through, a lot of planning to get through to get to new things and if this doesn't happen. mike: thank you so much for your time. >> thank you, god bless america. mike: god bless. we are hours away from kickoff with the tampa bay buccaneers getting ready to host the kansas city chiefs, this year's super bowl will look different thanks to the pandemic. phil keating with a preview of

tonight's game. >> without a doubt, this is going to be a super bowl like none other. fewer people in the stadium stands and fewer super bowl parties in neighborhoods across the nation. in fact, there are a lot of sports bars around the country that are simply not going to be open just to follow the guidance and not encourage big crowds to gather. the old man, the greatest of all time, tom brady and the young guy, the kid, patrick mahomes, winner of last year's super bowl and the game is just a little bit more than 5 hours away. take a look at a little bit of a tailgate party about 5 blocks away from the north side of the stadium. it's off stadium property where

tailgating is forbidden, the guys can actually do it. they are setting up the tents and they will have a fun day of it. for the first time in super bowl history one of the two teams playing is in home stadium. fireworks every night downtown from the city's iconic pirate ship. the super bowl fan experience spread out over 4 locations along the scenic river walk and crowds of buccaneers, chiefs and football fans in general just simply super excited. due to the coronavirus, different scene. mask wearing is mandatory at all events. if you're caught not wearing a face mask, you will get the yellow flag. to get inside the stadium, you'll first have to get a temperature check and health string, the least attended super bowl ever, 25,000 spectators, capacity is 75,000, so that is going to be a stadium one-third

capacity. in fact, live-size cutouts on the seats that fans paid, $100 each for, will outnumber the real people. it's going to be 30,000 of them. now for quarterback tom brady, he's hoping to set yet another record. actually this is a record. it's his tenth super bowl appearance and he hopes to set another one and win his seventh super bowl. for quarterback patrick mahomes, this is the second straight super bowl and he hopes to repeat that phenomenal comeback he did down in miami in the fourth quarter last year where the chiefs came from behind and beat the san francisco 49ers. and on the field, will be something that we have never seen before in the super bowl, a woman named sarah thomas, she'll be wearing the black and white stripes, the first time a woman will be officiating a super bowl. mike: i think it would be a classic and will come down which

quarterback has the ball last. you heard it here, if not, forget that i said that. it looks spectacular right now. any chance of weather around game time? >> no, the rains -- heavy rains, loud thunder woke me up at 5:00 o'clock in the morning as a matter of fact, it swept through the tampa bay metro area early this morning and now you can see, blue skies, sunshine is like 74 degrees, it's absolutely ideal. the chiefs are the favorite here. the visiting team, 3-point favorites making tom brady and the patriots -- the buccaneers, sorry, habit, the underdog. so we will see what happens out of it but the game is a rematch from week 12 in the season when the chiefs beat -- beat the buccaneers 27-24. mike: we have slush and snow in washington. so this is reason number 8,000 why it is great to be phil keating, gets all the best assignments, phil, great to see you, enjoy the game.

>> thanks, mike, have a great day. mike: threatening language caught on tape in antifa rally in washington, d.c. this weekend. here what they said after the break.

mike: members threatening to burn downwards during a protest in the nation's capitol on saturday evening. david spunt has more, hello, david. david: dc police were out in force yesterday afternoon into the evening. no serious injuries or arrests even in this case to report, however, authorities had to step things up quickly as there were several tense altercations. this all began at the dupont circle of washington moving north. very peaceful event according to those on the ground, turned chaotic as night fell, black lives matter, one of the groups in large numbers, those on the

ground spotted to be antifa flag. north of dupont circle. several videos show dc police pushing protestors back. those on the scene noted that the flag was antifascist action flag specifically carried by a group dressed in black. the group stopped in front of several restaurants for a brief moment yelling, quote, no kkk, no fascist usa, the group also said, quote, we are here tonight black lives matter and despite black lives matter, black people are still dying at the hands of people paid for by our tax dollars. mike, speaking of police, dc police say no serious injuries, no arrestses to report. back to you. mike: probably the last thing those restaurants needed but thankfully no serious injuries. david spunt, thanks a lot. >> david, you bet. mike: chicago mayor lightfoot making major announcement for getting children back in the classroom. >> we are here to announce the

very good news that our children will be returning to in-person learning this week. mike: chicago just one of example of the battle between schools and teachers unions on how and when to get kids back into the classrooms. for more democratic chuck schumer and editorial james freeman. >> great to be here. mike: i want to play this video of dr. rochelle. >> schools can safely reopen and that that safe reopening does not suggest that teachers need to be vaccinated in order to reopen safely. vaccination of teachers is not a prerequisite for safe reopening of schools. mike: chris, did she go off script or was she just being

honest. >> she's being honest. in the biden administration, they don't have scripts like they did in the previous administration. so -- and i think she's 100% right, our first priority as a nation should be getting our kids back to school. here in new york most districts are back to school and have been back since september. i understand that there are concerns in some urban areas about being able to properly social distance in these classrooms and i think what major lightfoot did in chicago was work with the union to come to an acceptable solution to get kids back in the classroom. that should be being done across classrooms. it's important to development. mike: james, your thoughts? james: the president has been saying that some schools shouldn't have to reopen for months, really they never should

have closed. dr. valenski is expressing what the science tells us and countries all over the world. schools were never the super spreader events. the kids are obviously at very little risk and most of the staff are at little risk. most teachers are not in high-risk categories. the schools should be opened and every day they are not, we are robbing the kids of the skills, the learning they need to earn in the future so we are basically stealing from their future earnings every day that we have them out of class. mike: chris, a tentative deal in chicago announced by the mayor, are you hopeful this is a start of the trend of some of the big districts getting children back in the classroom? >> absolutely. and i think it takes leadership on the part of whether it'd be a major or a governor or a school board president to work with their teachers and their teachers union to come to accommodations to get kids back in the classrooms. i think it is -- it's not

something that is a political issue. unions have the right to negotiate and feel safe and they should be able to do that but the leaders of those districts on the other side should be able to work with them and work out a deal just like mayor lightfoot in chicago and congratulations to her. because the schools that are open, those kids are getting a benefit that are really to the detriment of kids who are not in classrooms and i think it's very important that we have the quality of education across the country. mike: james, i want to get you to weigh in that the biden administration is going to reduce arrest, reduce deportations and kind of take the teeth out of ice. your thoughts on that? james: well, we will see. i think people might have gotten confused watching those debates last year thinking that the difference in practice in policy twine biden and trump administrations is bigger than it actually is. but i think he's -- the president now, i think she's

going to find that you do have to enforce a border or you invite people to attempt to cross who are not coming in legally. now that having been said, i would hope that the president will now seek the deal that nancy pelosi never really wanted to try with donald trump, is to get border enforcement but also more legal immigration for people who want to come here and work and be productive citizens. mike: gentlemen, we have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time. >> thanks very if us. mike: restaurants are looking getting creative to serve customers during today's big game. charles watson standing in one doing exactly that, charles. charles: hey, mike, they have the chicken, brisket and the ribs, coming up how the popular atlanta spot is handling super bowl business during the
