kristina partsinevelos is in the middle of that. kristina? >> neil, this storm is moving quickly. we've been standing here the past 40 minutes and the snow started falling heading from the med atlantic to the northeast. what we should expect, like you mentioned, snow, lots of snow. strong winds and ice. what you're seeing here in times square right now is already just a little bit of snow on the ground. people are being told to head home because there are certain threats. that would be power outages, falling trees and ice. very dangerous if you're drivering. in new york city specifically, you had mayor de blasio announce that all in-person learning would be cancelled. if the kids are watching right now, that doesn't mean it's a snow day because you still have to go to school but virtually tomorrow, this is a similar case from virginia to philadelphia. in new jersey though, i don't want to focus on new jersey because this snow could potentially hit 1 to 2 feet. new jersey is expected to get it bad, which is why the governor, governor murphy over there, he declared a state of emerge

kristina partsinevelos has more. reporter: david, right now i would like to admit it is 43 degrees.re, this undoubtedly will have a negative effect on outdoor dining. restaurants across the country are trying to weather pandemic. they have got closures, restrictions and a lack of direct federal aid. and i say this because the stimulus package that was unveiled yesterday had nothing that was directed towards restaurants. so some restaurant owners like this one in staten island decided to take it up into their own arms. he was arrested yesterday. this is danny presti after several warnings. because he served customers indoors. this restaurant owner is not the only one. there are several across the country unfortunately getting into trouble with the law. they want to stay hope. they feel they have no choice. other restaurant coalitions and groups taking legal action against the rules in certain cities and states. but you have this bipartisan stimulus package that came out yesterday. i spoke to the cofounder of the independent restaurant coalition, who said there was nothing specific fo

kristina partsinevelos is live in port chester with more. kristina? reporter: that's right. standing in front of a gym right now, f45 in port chester, that is closed. it's been closed for a month. that's the problem. you have politicians scrambling to close businesses for a second time in nine months. we know in new york city, they just announced as of monday they will be closing indoor dining. but in certain pockets, like port chester, they have been closed for already a month. they are called containment zones. that's why right now i'm in an orange zone but literally, literally just around the block, you hit the yellow zone and that's when gyms can be open and other businesses can be open. so it's extremely frustrating for a lot of the business owners here. they just found out, though, that salons and gyms can reopen at 25% capacity as of monday. but it's been so devastating to their business thus far. listen in. >> my back door is rye so my front entrance was on that side, i would be allowed to operate. >> behind us here in rye brook, they are actually operating as usual.

key thingshe two kristina hooper is watching in 2021. she is from invesco. to have you with us. we'll look at potentially getting a stimulus package passed in congress, but also, you have rising numbers of hospitalizations, of cases, 300,000 deaths in the u.s., as well as potentially another lockdown in new york city. which is the dynamic that wins out, given valuations are as high as they are right now? vaccine: clearly, the is the most important thing. keep in mind that just a few months ago, we were hearing from experts who suggested we might not be able to arrive at an effective vaccine to combat covid-19. we are in a much different place. we have a light at the end of the tunnel and it is bright. having said that, we do have headwinds. we have this rising level of covid-19 infections that seem very difficult to control in countries like the u.s. and we have a lack of fiscal stimulus. we have been starved for fiscal stimulus. we see another important policy support and that is central banks and the kind of accommodating monetary policy they provided. she

kristina partsinevelos is in new york. and, kristina, the landlords are going to need some help.because somebody still has to pay the bills. you have tennants, no doubt, are struggling. and that's why lawmakers have come forward with direct relief and moratoriums on evictions, but opponents are saying an extension of the federal moratorium on evictions until at least january 31st doesn't really help landlords because they still have to pay their taxes and their utility bills. >> we've got the small mom and pops, and they own a property or two, and they could end up in real trouble. they could lose their life savings, they could lose everything. and i think that's, i think they're really on the verge of that happening at this point. >> reporter: mom and pop own roughly about -- or landlords own roughly 40% of the properties across the country, fewer than ten buildings, and black and latinos are struggling to pay their more -- mortgages as their communities are disproportionately affected by the pandemic. here in new york you have lawmakers putting forward a new bill that would ban

neil: kristina, thank you very, very much, my friend. following all of that in new york city. i want to go to congressman mark green for some of the reasons kristina noted and many, many others he was a no vote on this massive spending plan. he is a tennessee congressman, a physician training. we get a double bang for our buck here. congressman, thanks for joining us. you were not keen on combined $2.3 trillion worth of spending measures, were you? >> no, not at all. there were a lot of reasons. thanks for having me on the show, neil. you know, first off, just the sheer fact that it was 5593 pages handed us, handed to us with five hours 45 minutes to read it before we had to vote on it, that principle alone is enough to vote no on it. you look at the chock a block full of spending. we're a nation that is deeply in debt and to take the coronavirus and say, well, why don't we, why don't we spends millions of dollars to eradicate -- i get murder hornet, that is a big deal butter radcation programs for marijuana certainly weren't that effective. i hope that these are a little bett

kristina partsinevelos on all of that. people have been looking at these latest requirements on businesses and wondered, just a matter of time then, before states are going to have to raise taxes anyway. as christina pointed out in new jersey, the so-called millionaire's tax is already in effect. it was pretty troh active, get a load of this, beginning of this year. it wasn't a new phenomenon. you have to pony up from the beginning of the year. new york could look at something similar to go after high net worth individuals. gary kaltbaum here on that, rebecca walser on that. rebecca, how significant will this be for residents in these states if before they address any spending governors zero in on just, you know, raising more money to spend? >> you know, neil, this is a case for why every governor should have a degree in economics in my opinion and certainly a little bit of tax law knowledge. retroactive tax laws should be unconstitutional almost as a taking. that is speaking from a tax law perspective as a tax law attorne

kristina partsinevelos, all retailers in a world of pain. kristina?orter: neil, shopping centers, malls across america are hit hard, retail tenants, so many filed for bankruptcy. so many of them just are not making rent. of course a third factor too, a lot of americans are hesitant to go shopping or avoiding malls all together. that is completely dead has to do with surrounding businesses that are being closed. with mauls or stores closing that could mean a major drop in real estate tax revenue that would go to local municipalities, the money, tax revenue dollars would help support school budgets as well as the police. according to the international council of shopping centers, roughly malls across america pay $400 billion in state and local taxes. so when foot traffic is down, people are not going, this could be really bad news for municipalities, it could eventually fall on the shoulders of taxpayers. listen in. >> the local communities always overtaxed, overassessed and overtaxed the malls and shopping centers who wound up subsidizing the taxes pai

kristina partsinevelos in new york city with more. tell me about the returns.record year for holiday returns and that's because we have all been shopping online, and retailers are trying to streamline the process and mitigate any crowds. this is herald square, not that busy for a monday filled with discounts. what we know so far, according to mastercard, online sales jumped this year almost 50% but when you account for a major drop in in-store traffic, we are seeing sales, retail sales for this holiday period up only about 3%, but the national retail federation predicts that you and i and everybody that's received at least ten gifts will be returning at least one gift out of that ten. that's because many of us couldn't touch the clothes in stores. that's a whopping potential $70 billion expected to be returned to retailers which is why they are trying to fix the process. starting with walmart, walmart is working with fed ex. fed ex will come and pick up the returned item from your home, then you have amazon that is stepping up, not just saying you can return it

kristina partsinevelos following all of the implications.s are really on the brink. having said that, there is hope on the way in the form of a vaccine available for americans maybe as soon as monday and a follow-up one from moderna possibly, possibly later in the week. blake burman following all of that from the white house. hey, blake. reporter: we are certainly getting the sense now that this is a when and not an if scenario as it relates to pfizer's covid-19 vaccine candidate. i am told by a source familiar with the process that there is a belief, a belief at this point that the fda could potentially give the go ahead for the emergency use authorization tomorrow, meaning saturday. however, to be crystal clear on this, the fda, the one who eventually has the say with everything, has not yet publicly announced a date. we did, though, hear from the health and human services secretary alex azar earlier today, and he echoed that timeline. listen here to what he said as it relates to when doses could potentially be getting into arms of america

kristina partsinevelos following that in new york. hey, kristina.il, you're exactly right. you have states across the country facing massive budget shortfalls. of course politicians now need to get creative and the most notable answer especially here in new york like you mentioned is an increase in taxes. what i mean by that is you had new york governor andrew cuomo ask the federal government for roughly $15 billion in aid to help cover a projected short fall of $8.7 billion. he warned if they don't get the federal aid they may have to go ahead reducing spending, increase public employee layoffs, most notably an increase in taxes. watch. >> we'll have to raise taxes. i believe we'll have to raise taxes at the end of the day in any event but the question is, how much in taxes. balancing this budget is going to be detrimental to the state, the city and every family in this state. reporter: the tax auditing review is -- tax, potentially could be launched in january. this tax would hit wealthy secondary homeowners if they have a second home here in new

kristina partsinevelos is here in new york to tell us why that is the case. kristina?ut sharing. in two months servers, other employees that make tips could be forced by employers to share tips with the back of the houseworkers think of dishwashers and cooks. this regulation was put forth by the labor department. the labor department says this is about wage equality t could maybe increase the pay of those back of the houseworkers like the cooks and dishwashers and busboys or busgirls. you have to have at least minimum wage, $7.25 in order for tip pooling to occur. i spoke with the owner of the murray hill diner behind me, he said all employers may not comply. >> i don't think everyone is going to enforce that rule. like you know, other restaurants. so it might affect us in the way that we might lose employees. that they're going to look for different job if that goes into effect. reporter: tips are already stretched thin. one study shows that tips during the pandemic have dropped 83%. so we're not as generous right now. you have workers advocates argue by sharing the t

kristina partsinevelos live in new york. our businesses now bracing for lawsuits, kristina?hey could be facing a slew of lawsuits or complaints because employees or customers could get sick on their premises. like you mentioned it is because they're no included, the liability shield was not included in the second stimulus package. according to lawsuit tracker, hunter andrews, there are 6700 complaints filed so far regarding covid-19 against businesses in the united states. there is about 100, or hundreds of negligence lawsuits as well. think amazon, kroger, those are examples. mcdonald's as well. they're all facing lawsuits pertaining to covid-19 but those are big players. they can mostly incur the costs. it is a little more difficult for smaller business owners. according to the federation, or national federation of independent businesses they say that smaller businesses need protection or face excessive litigation. >> they typically are not sued by the white shoe trial attorneys. we find their victim is bottom-feeders of the trial bar who will say, if you don't give me x-a

kristina, thank you.e" is continuing to tape with live audiences, even though it is during the pandemic. lauren, how are they getting away with this? lauren: a loophole. they pay the audience members. pay them 150 bucks to show up, sit indoors as part of the live audience. so technically they're workers of the show. that's why despite all the lockdowns in the spring, and new york governor's cuomo threats to shut indoor dining in new york city if the hospitalization rate doesn't immediately level off, "saturday night live" continues to film. stuart: as long as you're nasty to president trump, they let you do anything. thank you very much, lauren. >>> goya announced the employee of the month. you can see who it is. ashley, i know it is aoc. give me the story. ashley: well, look, i don't know if aoc's picture is on the wall at goya foods but god knows she earned it. aoc named employee of the month earlier this year after she supported the boycott of guy yaw because the ceo praised president trump after a rou

kristina partsinevelos live outside columbia university. kristina, what are they up to?g against price and value of higher tuition, but many universities just aren't meeting the demand which is why students here, about 1400 students here, stu, are threatening to withhold their tuition for the following semester, arguing that fees are just too high. so they created a petition. the two major demands on that petition, first one is to lower the cost of i attendancely 10% and also to increase financial aid by 10%. there's a few other commands as well like -- demands like public safe few reform and not to come at the expense of worker or instructor pay. caught up with the student behind the petition to learn more about the rally against high fees. listen in. >> people need to be able to stay in school because we're going to one of the universities with the highest endowments in the country, one of the highest tuition rates in the country. we think that, like, it's unfair from the get go that they're charging this much. er respective of whether we're online or not. >> reporter:

and to hear kristina say the media ignored me, but i'm here and i'm sharing my story. yes she is and yes she should not be ignored we have sworn affidavits to back up everything that you have shown this evening. you mentioned the one individual sought ballots in detroit being backdated to birth dates of january 1st 1900. we have affidavits like this where they actually list out all of the circles are different ballot numbers. they have written a specific ballot number down that was dated january 1st 1900 for someone who didn't have a birthdate. these are fact driven. they are real people. you just heard from them. where is the media asking these questions? it is irresponsible and thank you for giving them a platform, sean, because their voices matter and president trump will fight for the 74 million plus individuals like that who showed up to vote for him. >> sean: there are in all of these states, correct me if i'm wrong, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that signed these affidavits under the threat of perjury. you go back to the ukrainian witch hunt and w

we have kristina partsinevelos following that. it's all the covid reason, right? the jolly mood. 'tis the season to stay home. normally this time of year, we're itching to travel, see family. penn station would be bustling with people. people are scaling back because of an increase in covid cases as well as new travel restrictions. however, the big question is, should you travel? should you tell your boss? or what would happen if you didn't tell your boss? the answer may surprise you. >> when they tell us you're going to be allowed two weeks a year or four weeks a year, totally off, that is a gift in essence. it's not a legal requirement because it's something they're offering to us by right, a purely legal basis, they can also take it away. >> they could take it away. that's the case. employers can cancel your travel requests if they deem you too risky to your work environment. they can take it up a notch. they can fire you if you hide you traveled, you come back and break a new safety or travel protocol. in order to avoid future disputes and hope it doesn't end

. >> reporter: kristina and karl had met in north dakota where karl was stationed in the air force. when he was discharged they came to his home to make a life. was she a good fit? >> absolutely. she would give it out as well as take it and laugh on the way. >> stand right there, chris. karl, get closer. >> they were a cute couple. christina, the little cheerleader from california. karl the rough-and-ready country boy. christina's sister colette liked the way karl made chris laugh. >> they would laugh and joke. he was this big barrel chested guy and my sister only four eleven. >> he got work in the local stone quarry and it wouldn't be long before he and christina had three kids. aaron, levi, and katie. >> she'd be on the floor playing with them or teaching them or instructing them or coddling them. and it wasn't just her kids. it was all of our kids. >> look at those two lovely people over there. >> reporter: christina seemed happy. but karl wanted more than a life working the quarry, and christina's father, art alexander, offered a ticket out. a job with a future working in his he

has it just closed for good, kristina? port board yes. this is an institution.the 21 club just announced they are closing their doors. this restaurant bar opened up in the 1930s prohibition era. served politicians, presidents, frank sinatra, ernest hemingway, it is closing its doors. i reached out to the company. they said it is not feasible to open up right now this comes on a day today, monday, indoor dining is now banned in new york city indefinitely at least for the next two weeks or so. on friday governor andrew cuomo said that he is read a lot of data about contact tracing but he said restaurants and bars are the 5th main source of new infections so regardless of that, the fact that restaurants and bars are number five, he still went ahead and banned indoor dining. this is major blow to restaurants. why i happen to have a restaurant owner right next to me here. he is owner of a italian restaurant chain in brooklyn as well as queens, right? >> right. all brooklyn. reporter: this is absolutely devastating to the industry. now you have a second time indoor di

kristina partsinevelos from new york city. actually now at the beginning of little italy. right near canal street. we've been driving around. the city is quite dead. freezing rain became snow here in new york city. this is another blow to the restaurant industry. you see this structure. some spent more putting wood, this is pure plastic collapsed due to snow. not just one structure, if we continue down hester street, another structure collapsed. these are very scenario streets. in this neighborhood a lot of streets are closed on weekend for pedestrians. it is difficult when snow is here. hence the reason why city suspended outdoor dining. honestly many people are not out here. i can understand why they don't want to eat. look here, you can see the damage done from the storm, just how bad it is. this comes from indoor dining. outdoor dining is now suspended. we spoke to one business owner who talked about how difficult this storm, i guess the poor timing of this storm i should say. listen in. >> they're just cutting off another

tell me more, kristina. scrambling to close down businesses for a second time in nine months, stu, but what's happening here in new york is they are creating containment zones. i'm in port chester, about an hour outside of manhattan. it is an orange zone. in the orange zone, businesses deemed risky or non-essential have to shut down like gyms and salons, including the bloom hair salon right behind me. i spoke to the owner who is really quite frustrated because he's been closed for almost a month but literally three blocks away is connecticut and you can just drive to another salon that's open. listen to what he has to say. >> -- behind us here in ryebrook, rye, harrison, they are operating as usual indicating that it is safe to get a haircut there but not safe here. they can just go down the street and get their services. reporter: stu, it's frustrating for a lot of business owners and it's a situation we are seeing across the country. take, for example, the border between virginia and tennessee. there's lit

pete: kristina, thank you very much, appreciate it.lus bill causing six gop if senators to vote against it including an outraged rand paul. >> if free money were the answer, if money really grew on trees, why not give more free money? why not give it out all the time? why shop at $600 a -- stop at $600 a person? why not $1,000? why not $2,000? maybe these new free money republicans should join the everybody gets a guaranteed income caucus. brian: that's rand paul. he joined rick scott, ted cruz, mike lee, marsha blackburn, ron johnson in voting against this passage. let's bring in "special report" anchor bret baier. hey, bret. we saw the need for rental assistance, we understand 10 billion for the postal service, funding for covid-19 vaccinations in schools. we did not think we were going to get the kennedy center stuff, the pakistani jnder studies things -- gender studies. it seems like some lawmakers were caught by prize too. how does this stuff happen? >> listen, this is an omnibus bill, and this is what happens in this process whic

thanks very much, kristina.hings that he brings to the table for us. that is ken golden. ken golden auctions. and he's got some terrific stuff for us today. let's start with the double fantasy album that john lennon signed, and he signed it for his awe saws sin, mark david chapman, on the night of his assassination. there it is on the screen. how much, ken? >> $1.5 million. stuart: it seems rather gruelish, though -- ghoulish, though, the night of his assassination. >> it's a very unusual piece. it's the last item, obviously, that john lennon signed. it is probably the most famous signature of any beatle on any item and, let's face it, it talks the right type of buyer -- takes the right type of buyer, but it is a famous, iconic piece, and it's amazing that the it exists today with his e fingerprints still on it. stuart: you also have, think, several letters signed by john, paul, george and ringo. i think it's from 1969 on the screen there. how did you get those, and how much are they worth? >> okay. so both the

kristina partsinevelos following all of that in new york city. hasn't it? reporter: yeah, it has. that's why dry ice producers are ramping up. you have states that are preparing for the first dose of distribution of vaccines, but the catch is, like you said, it has to be stored at really, really cold temperatures. for example, pfizer's vaccine needs to be stored at negative 94 degrees. so the solution is dry ice. you have producers that are preparing for an influx of demand, but some are a little concerned about logistics and distribution. i say this because normally in the cold months, it's quieter because you don't need as much dry ice, but ever since the pandemic, so many people have been ordering their food online so they see an increase in demand from such companies that is fresh direct, for example. so several dry ice producers are saying right now, they don't know how much they are going to need for hospitals, for nursing homes, for pharmacies. i spoke to one owner in the bronx about this wait-and-see situation. >> we will just have to lea

kristina partsinevelos on companies now that are looking at your holiday plans. on here? reporter: no. neil, it's the season to stay home or possibly risk losing your job. i know so many of us, myself included, are itching to travel to see family over the holidays. hence the reason we came to penn station. this place is usually booming with people trying to head out of the city for the holiday. but we know people are scaling back because of the increase in cases as well as travel restrictions across the country. but if you plan to travel, the big question is, should you tell your boss or if you don't tell your boss, what will happen once you come back from vacation? the answer may surprise you. >> legally and technically they could take it back but the reality is, unless they are doing that on a truly consistent basis, many of them are finding it's helpful to be as encouraging as they can and strie de strident in their warnings. reporter: that means your employer can cancel your vacation request if they deem you to be too risky to your co-workers or your work env

kristina partsinevelos is in brooklyn, december, cold out today, diners don't want to eat outside, looks3 degrees, outdoor dining is only expected to suffer, you've restaurants across the nation that are worried about whether they continue to whether the pandemic coming of curfews, restrictions, closures and now a lack of direct government aid, although a group of legislators, bipartisan legislators unveiled a $900 billion stimulus package yesterday, the cofounder of the independent coalition in her own restaurant in brooklyn, she said there has been nothing specifically catered and targeted to the service industries. >> the format of the ppe does not aid businesses like mine and other small independent restaurants around the country. we are seriously looking down the barrel of the closing gun. >> the other concern is the stimulus package does not include 120 billion-dollar restaurants act passed in the house. you have at this moment about 100,000 restaurants set of closed sense of pandemic and this is according to the national restaurant association. the survey showed that 40% of restau

kristina arampor, we are journalists, we base our reporting on the facts. there was no reporting.use it hurt joe biden. then you had widespread censorship by social media. i mean, what twitter did to prevent any individual from sharing the new york post story was beyond the pale. looking back at it, we knew what was happening at the time. but the fact that that happened right before an election, right before a presidential election, that is a coverup. it's a coverup by big tech and it's a coverup by the media to make sure that joe biden was elected. maria: and they all worked alongside the democrats who tried to make believe it was russian disinformation. in fact, you had the director of national intelligence have to come out and specifically say this is not russian disinformation. john ratcliffe joined us on this program in october when the democrats were trying to spin this as russian disinformation, john ratcliffe came on this show and said this. let's roll it. >> this is not part of some russian disinformation campaign. the intelligence community has not been involved with hun

kristina? >> reporter: yeah, that's exactly it.the governor of new york deemed this area and businesses that are high risk telling them they have to close like the hair salon behind me. it's been closed for over a month. but you have businesses literally just about less than a mile away in connecticut or that are able to stay open. i spoke to the owner about the situation, and he's frustrated because of the arbitrary rules, and and he's worried customers are just going to go elsewhere. listen in. >> new york behind us here in ryebrook, they are operating as usual. so indicating that it is safe to get a hour cut here but -- haircut there but not here. >> reporter: it's a similar situation all across the country, you have lawmakers scrambling to close town businesses for a second time, and it's very frustrating because the lawmakers decide who stays open, who stays closed. and that means small businesses could face a bleak winter with restrictions and dwindling customers, and that leaves nothing but the fight for survival. back to yo
