1:05 am
in the united states. some folks can easily park themselves in a nice place with good computers and zoom into school and inner city baltimore that's a different story. right now, the feud is magnifying inequities in education. todd: another fox news contributor and mother of nine, how does she do it, i'm having trouble enough with one, rachel campos duffy says unions hold way too much power. she joins us live coming up. capitol hill, lawmakers consider tightening eligibility for the next round of stimulus checks. jillian: democrats are planning to unveil a $3,000 child benefit as part of the relief package. todd: doug luzader joins us from washington with more as president trump's impeachment trial starts this week. >> reporter: the tax credit expansion looks like it will be part of the democratic plan here and it may be paid out on a monthly basis. we'll see where that heads. that $15 an hour minimum wage looks like it's going to hit the
1:06 am
floor. >> i put it in but i don't think it's going to survive. i prepared as united states on a separate negotiation on minimum wage to work my way up from what it is now. >> reporter: is president biden wrong? >> i hope he is. from a political point of view, it is absurd, to tell someone who has a decent union job, making 55, 60,000, sorry, you're not eligible. >> reporter: the president is sticking to his push for $1,400 stimulus checks, republicans want something closer to 1,000. there is debate over the income cutoff. joe manchin wants the cutoff to be set at $50,000 a year for individuals, couples it would be 100,000 to get that $1,400 payment. the phaseouts would be $75,000 for individuals and 150 for couples. republicans are talk about lower amounts, kind of across the
1:07 am
board here. the stimulus checks would be $1,000 instead of $1,400. the cutoffs would be 40 to $50,000 for individuals, for joint filers it would be 80 to 100,000. and all of this as the senate gets ready for this week's big impeachment trial with most republicans arguing that it is not constitutional. >> it is unconstitutional but more than anything it's unwise and it's going to divide the country. they can't let go of president trump. they're going to keep kicking and kicking. >> reporter: democrats say that this is all necessary. we still don't know at this point how the trial is going to play out of. we don't know how long it's going to be. we don't know whether witnesses are going to be called. todd and jillian. todd: is there ever a calm week in d.c. anymore? this isn't going to be the one. >> reporter: i'm looking for one. todd: doug, thanks. jillian: thanks, doug. freshman congress woman nancy may says the real problem with
1:08 am
impeachment is that it puts everything on hold when she says there's so much work to be done. listen. >> next week with the impeachment, the senate can't do any other business, can't take up other business while there's an impeachment trial going on. we have to hit pause for the entire week, unfortunately. and then there are so many other opportunities for us to work together. for instance, an infrastructure package. i would love to see that in the next couple of months. that's a great place for democrats and republicans to work together. but the question is, with all the money spent during covid-19, is how are we going to pay for it. no one's really willing to talk about that. we can put a great package together but how are we going to make cuts elsewhere to pay for it without raising taxes on the hard working american people. jillian: the democrats' stimulus relief deal will likely get done sometime in march. todd: a final salute for an fbi agent killed in the line of duty. loved ones and colleagues mourning the loss of the special agent at the funeral in south florida. the service was one day after

>> it's time for schools to reopen of safely. safely. you have to have fewer people in classrooms. you have to have ventilation systems that have been reworked. our cdc commissioner is going to be coming out with science-based judgment within i think as early as wednesday. jillian: president biden says it's time to get back to class. this following weeks of intense negotiations between cities and teachers that have left students's education hanging in the balance. todd: why hasn't the president called out teachers and their unions for continuing to declay. here to discuss, congressman james comer. that is the question, right, congressman? if he wants kids to go back to class asap, shouldn't he be calling out and telling the teachers unions cut it out already? >> absolutely. he mentioned the cdc. the cdc has been saying for
1:17 am
months that in-person learning is safe and these schools know the safety precautions and the students have embraced wearing masks in the school systems where they have in-person learning. i can speak with confidence that my wife and i, we have three kids in the public schools and they've been having to do the virtual learning and it's criminal what we're doing to these kids over the last 12 months in not having in-person learning and joe biden could stand up to the teachers union, tell them to do what's best for the kids and get in schools right now. jillian: let's give you an update on two cities that we're following, chicago, we'll start with there, and this is a tweet by the teachers union that reads we don't have an agreement with chicago public schools, the mayor and her team made an offer to our members late last night which merits further review. we will continue with our democratic process of rank and file review throughout the day before any agreement is reached. now in philadelphia we have stuff going on there as well.
1:18 am
let's pull this up. physician is from the philadelphia federation of teachers, it reads under that cruelty and disregard for the lives of educators and school staff, i can't think of another reason to push forward with a reckless plan to reopen unsafe mrs. for thousands of staff on monday, being today, where we know that some people are expected not to show up for school today. look, there's an article in the philadelphia inquirer, that has quotes from teachers who say we're ready to show up, ready to go to work but we're not ready to go in unsafe buildings. apparently a lot of teachers have questions about the safety, about the ventilation, things like that in the buildings in the cities that are 100 years old. where does the fault lie when they feel as though their questions aren't answered? >> well, i believe that we've had 12 months now to address these issues. you have certain school systems that moved quickly to ensure that any upgrades, any types of
1:19 am
ventilation systems that needed to be installed could be installed. we've had a lot of money that has been sent directly to school systems over the past 12 months in the cares act and other stimulus bills, to try to reopen schools. and there are a lot of schools reopened all across america. but in the big cities where the teachers unions are the strongest, they continue to be shut down and joe biden realize as do most of these mayors in these cities and most of the democrat politicians that they probably wouldn't be in office were it not for the support of the teachers union. one thing i never heard the teachers union say is kids learn more virtually than they do in person. because everyone knows that they learn more in person, yet these teachers unions still refuse to go back to school and at least have hybrid learning or some type of learning where we can get these kids back in schools and do it safely and i think we can. it's been proven in most of the school systems across america
1:20 am
but unfortunately these big cities still let their teachers union run the show. todd: 30 of seconds on this final topic. dhs confirming new biden rules for i.c.e. that point to viewer arrests and he deportations and more restrained agency. how concerned should we be about this change? >> we should be very concerned. the democrats campaigned on a platform of defunding the police and abolishing i.c.e. what we've seen with joe biden immediately right off the bat, he essentially abolished i.c.e., tying their hands, allowing for open borders. the biggest success in the trump administration was the border security and the biggest failure in the biden administration was the lack of security. with the new order of we're going back to the old ways of open borders with the obama,/biden administration. jillian: thank you for being here. appreciate your time. todd: this week marks four

jillian: welcome back many this week marks four years since libby german and abby williams were murdered while hiking in indiana. despite thousands of tips and updated sketch of the suspect, no arrests have been made. libby german's mother believes the investigation was botched and she joins me now. thank you for being here. i wish we had more answers at this point. i know you do as well. tell me how you're feeling right now and why you think this was botched. >> it seems to get worse.
1:25 am
from the beginning i thought the investigation was kind of crazy, considering they called off the search that night at midnight, having not found the girls. that was mistake number one. i think the biggest mistake was letting it go four years without being solved. these girls deserve justice. i don't feel like we're giving them anywhere near what they gave us. jillian: we'll pull up the timeline here. the thing to note is there was a new sketch that was released in 2019. you'll see it on the next screen. even though a new sketch was released. we don't have much information out in the public to try and help solve this crime. do you think that's part of the problem? is there anything else that's come to light that you want the public to know? >> i wish there had been something new but there hasn't.
1:26 am
i do believe that has -- that the second sketch confused a lot of people, it confuses me. really still not sure what i'm supposed to be looking for. so i try to go by more the picture that was taken from libby's phone. that's not a very clear face so it's hard to see. jillian: there was that audio recording of the suspect as well that was taken by libby. let's go ahead and play that right now. >> [ indiscernible ] jillian: when you hear that and when you see that image, what does that make you feel? >> makes me sick. i can't even say those words. it's really hard to hear them still. i want to put a face and name to the person who said them.
1:27 am
but it's still -- it causes a lot of anxiety to even hear that recording. i can't imagine what they were going through. jillian: i know. it's awful. do you believe the killer will be caught? >> i do. he's going to mess up somehow, some way. i believe that libby and abby did everything they could to all but hand us his head on a silver platter so it those be solved. jillian: what do you want us to know about these beautiful girls? >> they were just great kids. and right now they should be getting ready to graduate high school and it's really unfair that they're not, you know. they're very smart, happy dash happy-go-lucky kids and the whole world missed out by them not being here. jillian: i know the world is still wanting answers, i know you are as well and i hope that

todd: kids could soon head back to classrooms in chicago and san francisco as cities announce preliminary deals with teachers unions. in chicago, kids could be back by thursday. the union has to you approve the deal. in san francisco, children will go back once the virus risk level goes down. the union says city leaders need to step up and make vaccines available. in philly, the union told teachers not to go back to school today. they say the city didn't old up to their end of the bargain. new york city, parents, students and local leaders are demanding the return of public school sports after nearly a year. one state leader blasting the
1:32 am
ban, saying what's happening to our youth is disgusting and unnecessary, there is no scientific justification to prevent students from playing, it's causing harm and impacting their lives. joining us now, patrick godfrey. thanks for being here. how frustrating is it to see athletes all across the country getting the opportunity to play their sports when you haven't been able to? >> yes, thank you for having me, first and foremost. but seeing all these athletes across the country play their seasons, 34 states have played a successful fall season of football and then the remaining states have scheduled a season for the spring. so seeing that is -- it's really unfortunate. it's kind of like a slap in the face to us students, us
1:33 am
teachers, our parents, our coaches who put effort into seeing us succeed and not only the work that we put in our whole lives, being a senior, waiting my whole life for this last year and this moment to shine, it's really tough. todd: sports are competitive. senior year is when you get the opportunity to shine, it's not necessarily when you're a freshman unless you're a ridiculous standout. it's a tough time to live in new york city, regardless whether you're an athlete or notice. how much worse is it because you can't play your sport? >> it's extremely worse. it's worse because i'm athletic and i like to play sports and i'm used to getting up every morning, going to the gym, going to school, and then going to work out. and since that was stripped from me it's been extremely hard. todd: that's a routine. >> this has been something -- yeah. yeah.
1:34 am
and it's been affecting my mental health and the reason why it's affecting my mental health is because it's important, right now, as kids, it's important for us to get up and go be active. with that stripped, there's nothing for us to do. todd: right. pat, you heard khalil talk about the mental aspect of this, the fact that he lost the routine that sports gave him. when we look back at this time, how bad is the damage going to be to our young people who are then young adults, out there in the working world, raising families and all that stuff. >> i think that we've, without a doubt, done incalselable damage to our of youth. we've asked them to take on a lot of sacrifices. we know that sports are an invaluable tool in teaching kids the discipline and characteristics that will make
1:35 am
them successful employees. i was blessed fluff to be a member of the national championship winning football teams. the values i learned from being a part of athletics, carry into my daily life in finance and have life-changing impacts. i think we will not know for a long time what the true damage that we've done is in this situation, but i think the only answer is let's get them back out on that field as soon as possible before that window of opportunity truly closes. todd: quick last question to the two young guys there, anthony, i'll start with you. obviously, it's not just about sports in school during this time of year. you're trying to balance a lot of other stuff, trying to figure yourself out and i'm talking about relationships and all that good stuff. how tough is it when you don't have sports as that founding principle to sort of guide all that other stuff right now? >> yeah, you said it best. we use sports as athletes as like a backbone for our lives. so you can rely on that true
1:36 am
love that we possessed our whole lives and not having that, it's tough to cope with. like you said, school, relationships, just our daily lives. so it's definitely a problem that i could speak for everyone of the athletes that we face and that's one of the main goals that we search for in getting sports back and school back so we can build together and have that normality. todd: khalil, final question to you, same question. you're trying to grow as a young man, trying to figure it out, right. sports were that foundation that really sort of was the glue that held everything together. without it, how tough is it to try to form relationships with friends and maybe significant others, things like that, do your school work, all that good stuff? >> it's very tough because i'm used to seeing a lot of kids a day and socializing with more than 30 kids a day and now i'm barely even socializing with
1:37 am
five. so that's extremely tough, not only for he me but for all the kids out there. i believe. and right now homework, it's just not the same. it used to be easier because we're in school, we're learning, you could simply ask a question. but now if there's no zoom class, it's very hard to understand. todd: and i just -- i worry that there's a large portion of quite frankly let's call them what they are, the adults, or at least people who are supposed to be acting like adults, that don't fully get that. they hear the words that you young people are saying, but i don't necessarily understand -- i don't know if they necessarily understand the ramifications of you not being able to talk to your teachers in person and all that stuff. i don't know where this is headed. i certainly hope that we get a resolution on the sports and the schools sooner rather than later because you guys deserve it. anthony, khalil, pat, thank you for your time this morning and i would be remiss if i didn't say nice helmet in the back of your shot there, anthony. maybe we'll see a super bowl

for that. but the media not surprisingly, they're doing this to cover up for president biden. they did it to protect his campaign. they're doing it now because they want to protect his agenda and i'm concerned they're going to continue to do it all the way to 2024. jillian: let's take a listen to what white house press secretary jen psaki has to say. >> he has been working to unwind his investments but i would certainly point to you that he's a private citizen, i would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside on any updates. jillian: what do you think of what she had to say? >> she was pivoting very quickly to get away from an uncomfortable answer which was we were told that hunter biden body vest of any of his interests, foreign interests, and he has not yet done so. the question is why. and why weren't there any follow-up questions, other reporters saying wait a minute, that's not a good enough answer. what do you have -- what is president biden's position on his son continuing to hold an interest in a foreign company. and you know what, at the end of the day, there was so much made

of president trump's children and their business dealings and his, is the media really holding president biden to the same standard? i think americans see that they are not. todd: i don't know if i have enough superlatives for this story. a reporter is conflicted after her driveway was plowed, she doesn't know how to deal with the kindness. she said our driveway was plowed without being asked and did a great job. how will i resist demands for unity in the face of this aggressive niceness. i come at me from two perspectives. i'm tired, my ankles are cracking, i'm tired of snow shoveling, i'm tired of doing this. you could literally have an anti-todd piro super pac and if you came to do this i would love you forever.

i'm sick of snow. okay. but doesn't this tell you everything you need to know about the liberal left's calls for unity? >> it does. how flakey, how fake they are. i mean, listen, at the end of the day there are good people who are trump supporters, there are good people who are bernie supporters, good people who are biden supporters. what we boil down to as individuals is not our political affiliation, not our philosophical leanings, it's our moral compass. no party holds the moral compass. this la times opinion writer is unfortunately the anti-thesis of free thought in this country and she is part of the problem of driving the divide in america. to call president trump a nazi and anyone who supports him nazi sympathizers, it's insulting to regular people who just want deregulation and opportunity economy. it trivializes the millions of lives lost under hitler's

campaign of terror. that is not what we had for the past four years. and if you continue to use that kind of inflammatory rhetoric, it is going to continue to drive people apart, not together. jillian: for the record, i've not noticed the ankles cracking. i will look for it now. i have heard the complaints of shoveling. patrice onwuka, thank you. todd: hopefully there is nobody out there with an anti-todd piro super pac. if there are, i welcome the shoveling. jillian: coming up, the greatest of all time, not todd, tom brady, scores his seventh super bowl win. will cain was in tampa for the big game. he joins us for the live report. todd: plus, dr. ben carson he may well be the greatest in your row surgeon of all time -- neurosurgeon of all time, rachel campos duffy, they're both coming up.
