big winner but faced with the evidence people are fleeing their policies, do these democrat states double down and bolster the policies that force these people to leave in the first place? makes no sense to me. can you explain it? >> it happens at the country level too, not just the states. it happens in africa and asia, all over the world, some places are different institutions that condemn them to this. the good thing for us is we have good evidence in the united states that republican policies are working at attracting people and creating jobs, you see it in south dakota, a stay with the lowest unemployment next to utah and nebraska less than 3%. what has happened in new york now? millions of people unemployed all over the country in the blue states, red states are billing, we need to double down on the policies in contrast with biden and markets are form well, some people flee 2 hours. >> it was a pleasure talking to you, thank you for joining us, have a good day. still to come, a fly inside miami airport, brawl over a fight for seats. >> people really wanted the seat.

1:25 am
>> what about the neighborhoods where these injection sites will be located? what protections are in place to protect those folks? >> no protections in place. the government is going to make the determination and you have to live with it. i don't know when was the last time you were in san francisco but it is not a good place to visit. it is unsafe, unwieldy and unmanageable and people are fleeing san francisco and moving as far away as sacramento which is an hour and 40 minute drive just to get out. >> going to san francisco all the time it was great, 2019, i was scared out of my mind. appreciate your time this morning and your insight. jillian, over to you. >> 25 after your, dana white beating down on politics in sports. >> they don't want to hear what your opinions are or you are voting for or what you're doing, they want to get away from everything in their life. >> how the us the president plans to keep politics out of the ring and president biden will mark his first 100 days in office this week. how to small business owners think he is doing? join us next.

1:34 am
very few people show up. we've never seen this before. jillian: are you also having the same situation and i also know you are planning on giving raises to your employees and different benefits? >> that's true. we just announced we are moving our full-time starting salary to $15 an hour for care issues and line cooks and seeing the same thing, a lot of no shows to interviews. i've been in this business since 2001 and this is the biggest struggle we have ever had filling roles in our country. >> what is the reasoning for that? >> i think there's a lot of reasons. we are battling expanded jobless benefits absolutely. there are still people who are
1:35 am
locked down, taking care of at risk children or family members. i think there's a little bit of, we need to educate people more about the benefits of going out and getting a shot, studies show that if you are vaccinated your -- common sense to go out and apply for job. there is a multitude of things we are facing as small business owners and accounts of the pandemic. it is rearing its ugly head in 2021 will be a tough one for the industry. >> felt like you put a lot of thought into this and solutions as well. before i bring you and i want your opinion on why you think this is happening. >> with the acceleration of unemployment benefits it is very hard to get people to come and work. i also feel there is a little bit of, people have been home for over a year and to get them to come to work it is a little harder. one of the things we are trying

1:37 am
and collect unemployment than to actually go work. one of the small business owners raise their wage to $15 an hour. these federally mandated wages the biden administration are trying to push forward are not necessary because economic prosperity takes care of this and we saw this happen in 2007-2009. thank goodness we have programs in the trump administration that saved 51 million jobs across the country because many small business owners arrived but the biden administration is proposing crazy things especially the tax on small businesses with many proposals on the table that will increase taxes but these unemployment benefits, a major issue. we called this out way earlier, and it is across the country. jillian: what would you do to try -- what would be an instant thing you can do to change it and make it better? >> the biggest concern is the unemployment benefit. as soon as those expired that

legislation. it has not been one of the more controversial bills, doesn't get much attention by the university system and i honestly haven't seen much of a reaction but i would add based on the way the bill is written it can arm all kinds of different points of view. if you are a student with left leaning beliefs with a conservative professor this would arm you and it goes further than that. if you're a student and feel you've been racially discriminated or misogynistic we discriminated against this arms you to create evidence to protect yourself in the classroom. this is nothing but helpful for students. it is a great piece of legislation for students period. will: appreciate your insights on this. thanks for letting our viewers no more about it. jillian: atlanta police officer rescues the driver from a burning vehicle.
