case, however, they say they found what they-- (inaudible) evacuate the area and a motor later, a big burst of flames as rv explodes in a ball of fire and the force of the explosion shattering windows and knocking down trees and causing structural damage to a number of buildings in the area. today, the city of nashville is hailing these six officers as heroes. we're told they ran into danger trying to get people out of harm's way. at least one officer suffering temporary loss of hearing following the large explosion. >> and when they got there. the danger continued to increase and they took swift action and started working in the streets and the neighborhood to clear residents from the area and cleared pedestrians from the area and they put themselves in between good and evil. >> to explosion went off right in front of and damaged at&t's data communications center, causing telecommunications issues and in a statement this morning, at&t says, quote, we have two portable cell sites operating in downtown nashville and with numerous deployed in the area and the region. and tennessee governor bill lee says he's toured the blast site and with president trump. leland: we'll get to that with trump, but how much of downtown is sealed off. there was a curfew starting last night. the debris went about six blocks. how far away are you? >> well, leland, right now, we're about a quarter of a mile away from that blast site. there's a good portion of downtown that's still sealed off. obviously you have federal and local officers up the road trying to investigate this-- (inaudible) in the area blocked off, and of course, that curfew you mentioned goes until 4:30 sunday evening so folks are cautioned away from this area. leland: i imagine a mess for the people that live down there, as well. charles watson on the ground in nashville. back to nashville if we get a press conference in the coming hours. >> joining us now a former fbi agency who took part in the oklahoma city bombing and he authored "how to spot a terrorist before it's too late", thank you for being here. given your expertise, who or what do you feel is the target here? >> well, my concern is the target may have been police. the fact that this was set off on a christmas morning early hours, downtown, where people don't congregate, yet, calls were made to 911 reporting gunshots, police run towards the danger, run towards the gunshot. that may be who the bomber expected to be there when he set off the detonation. >> have you seen anything or heard anything like a warning that plays prior to an explosion, prior to an event? >> in all the investigations i've seen and been involved in, i've never seen a warning before, but that makes me further concerned was law enforcement the target. clearly, this individual took the time to make sure that the public was not going to be injured. it panicked people in the area, and they wanted to flee the area. it's up to police, the heroes of this sorry torques direct people away from the damage that occurred. >> and the police chief there says that-- the folks in downtown nashville now are safe. that there doesn't seem to be a secondary threat that they need to worry about. what about the departments on alert this time. especially since you're talking about the possibility of police being the target. >> i can assure you after this occurred, the departments across the country as well as the federal agencies were heightened alert, and steps were taken to make sure that areas were swept and kept clear, and people looking for anything that might be suspicious. and now they need to focus on the area and determine who was this, why was this done and does he have any connections to anyone else? >> in terms of the materials and forensics done on the ground there and that will be done in the lab, and you hear about the blast debris going about six blocks, what does it tell you about the materials and types of explosives used here? >> well, from what i've seen, it was powerful, yet it doesn't appear to be particularly sophisticated type explosion. it's not uncommon to have debris go for many blocks. oaks bombing we had debris blocks and blocks away. but one of the key pieces here is the vehicle, despite that it's turned down, vin numbers are carved into parts of that, and including the axles. i'm thinking it's recently purchased by the person who committed this or perhaps stolen, but never the list they'll be able to track the history and find out who hospitaled it at the time. >> and we do know from the oklahoma city bombing, those serial numbers comes in an immediate and most important point when we're talking about the source of origins. >> people were concerned why was the fire continuing to burn. specifically fire department and officials know you don't want to apply water because you have all of that evidence and likely dna evidence. and the ert, evidence response team are processing that and it's going to bring answers in the next few days. >> we're hearing that authorities have found some sort of human tissue out there. how difficult is it after an explosion to test that forensically and test who that might be? . the scientists at the laboratory can do amazing jobs. if the person who was behind this tissue was found and had a criminal record and spent time in prison there's a dna data base to identify who that individual is. at the very least it will give them something to work with in the future to ensure proper identification. >> one last question. everything that you've seen and heard from the reporting and your experience, do you feel like this is something that's a group effort. that it could possibly just be one individual out there? what is this telling you? >> this has all the earmarks of a lone wolf offender which can be the most disconcerting to law enforcement. when you have large groups, they can be investigated, leads will pour in from one area or another, but that one person working on their own in the quietness of their home, very difficult to find out before the fact. that he is why they need the public's help in law enforcement to some and prevent these things. >> john, thank you so much, we appreciate your expertise this morning, have a good one. >> you, too. kristin: thanks. leland. leland: president trump says he's receiving updates on the explosion, and mark travelling with him from mar-a-lago. we've heard a lot of things, but not about nashville. >> you're right, president trump hasn't made any on camera comments or even tweeted about nashville. and there are questions about what's going on behind the scenes. the white house put out a statement hours after the blast saying the president was getting updates, regular updates on the situation and offered thoughts and prayers to those injured and working on the case. the president keeping a low profile since arriving here with the first lady and has not taken questions from reporters as he has the last several days, we haven't had him a chance to ask about nashville or whether he plans to sign or veto the 900 billion stimulus package. and he tweeted about it. i simply want to get our great people $2,000 rather than the measley 600 that's now in the bill and also stop the billions of dollars in pork. the president has not said that he would outright veto this stimulus package which is tied to a larger 1.4 trillion spending bill and the president has been complaining too much money has been going to foreign aid as opposed to money being spent at home. we haven't heard from mitch mcconnell, but the president for the second time has accused mcconnell not doing enough to challenge the november election outcome. and we know that lindsey graham has been out here talking to him and graham tweeted that he believes the president is invested in trying to get the additional payments out there. with less than a month to go in office, it will be interesting to see if there's an appetite for this. >> and mark, new definition for working vacation for you and i guess the president as well. >> leland, i tell you what, it's told here, it's 53 degrees here. i know, so sorry-- ments i wonder if the control room has any violin music to start playing for you. we'll work on that for the 1 p.m. hour. stay warm, buddy. >> thank you. ♪ >> meanwhile, millions of struggling americans could see a lapse in expanded unemployment benefits beginning today amid looming uncertainty over coronavirus stimulus bill and asishah hasnie has more. >> 14 million americans are set to lose their federal unemployment benefits to the tune of $300 a week. and it all comes down to this. this week the president demanded changes to that $900 billion bipartisan coronavirus package, saying that he wants to see americans receive $2,000 in direct payments rather than the $600 currently in the bill. now, the package would have extended those unemployment benefits through march, but if the president does not stein sign it, two pandemic programs will expire, the pandemic unemployment assistance and that's affecting 7.3 million workers, and also, the pandemic emergency unemployment compensation affecting 4.6 million workers. of those, 4.6, more than half can still collect extended benefits, but cash strapped states may have to pay half of that, essentially leaving a ton of already struggling americans high and dry. >> i really don't want to be on government money at all, but i don't have any other options as of right now. >> i'm going to take the first job that i get, even if it's something i don't want. even if it's for less money. >> now, even if the president were to sign this bill tonight, which is not expected. it puts the states, with an update to the new law which could delay the rollout of the benefits. the house is expected to take up the $2,000 remedy on monday and on tuesday, the senate does come back, not clear yet exactly what steps they're going to take to move forward. alicia. >> so many americans watching so closely. aishah hasnie in new york, thank you very much. leland: "the washington post" has great reporting on this. and with us from michigan and communication policy, debbie dingell. you were angry and animated on thursday, fair to say you feel the same way. >> happy day after christmas, leland. i've talked to so many people who are just plain scared. you just talked about what's going to happen on unemployment today, but really, they're going to be evicted during the holiday. families struggling to put food on the table. you've soon the stories on this network about the long lines of people to just get help with food. people are scared. people are desperate. i have about 10 restaurant owners that call me every single day worried not just about their restaurants, but their employees. now, i wasn't happy. i would liked to have seen more money go into that payment-- >> let me put it this way. everyone agrees that americans are hurting. my friend mike allen at axios and his words in the back drop, stark pleas, and words he collected from newspapers around the country with stories you talked about. where do we go from here. the president has until monday. either the government shuts down or he signs the bill. do you guys have a contingency plan? i know most of congress is planning to be on vacation this week. >> well, i think you'll see on that date, the house will be there. we will take a bill on the stimulus payment. i don't know what the parliamentary part will be, we have yet to here from senate mcconnell. leland: when you say the house will pass it, you'll pass 2,000-- or the amendment the bill legislation introduced on thursday while i was in chair that in order for it to pass on thursday, the speaker majority leader and the minority leader had to approve it. republicans did not approve it on thursday. so, we will come back in on monday, it will be on the floor in some fashion. and we will have the opportunity to vote on it and i think that the house will pass it. the question is, what will the senate do and not only do we need to get covid relief out there, but you talked about the second part of this. the government will shut down at midnight if we don't do something and that would be the most irresponsible thing in the middle of a pandemic. leland: politico described it as it is america in limbo. do you think that's a fair characterization? >> i think that's a perfect-- because, a perfect description. we worked very hard, leland, to get a compromise. this bill wasn't perfect, a lot of things i didn't like. a compromise. it's a down payment. if he doesn't sign-- >> i want to get to the veto override. because we've got covid relief and funding the government, and we don't know what's going to happen. the president still might sign it. he did not say he was not going to sign it, lindsey graham's tweet notwithstanding. you have the authorization skt that the president did veto and he wanted to look at parts with big tech and lindsey graham tweeted on that and to see the changes. do you think you'll have enough republican votes to get to a two-thirds vote and override the president's veto. >> i talked to republicans, when we passed initially, there was two-thirds and i think they'll hold on the house side, but no one knows on the senate-- >> just so i understand what's going on behind the scenes. you all, meaning democratic leadership is starting to whip republican votes and get a whip count in terms of whether republicans are going to defect on this? >> i don't know if it's an official whip count, but i'm talking to republicans and significant number of republicans that voted the first time. i think two-thirds in the house. leland: as you point out the senate is the real question and the implications for the georgia senate race as well. we appreciate talking to you, and enjoy the trip home. >> happy-- get rid of 2020. leland: good so see you. republican french hill from arkansas will be around in the neck hour. stick around for that. tomorrow, my good buddy mike emanuel in with chris wallace and check your local listings for time and channel and tomorrow, howard kurtz takes a look how the media is it reacting to president trump's latest pardons. it's amazing what's happened since the pardons and now, that's sunday 11 a.m. eastern right here. >> president-elect joe biden has also been briefed on the situation in nashville, issuing a statement on the bombing. jacqui heinrich is following in delaware. >> yes, the biden administration says that he's been briefed. president-elect and jill biden wish them speedy recovery. there are no presidential events this weekend, but work for vetting potential incoming cabinet members. his choice for attorney general drawing more scrutiny as his son is being looked into tax affairs. and merrick garland, senator doug jones from alabama who lost to former auburn football coach tommy tuberville, and sally yates. his secretary is already looking at representation. and having a cabinet that looks like america is important, but biden's legacy on race will be judged by his picks, willingness to pursue policy changes that per sue systemic racism. one said biden owes us and we have not forgotten. and a longstanding relationship with the president-elect and is seen as a strong union voice. he hedged on a question whether he would accept a cabinet spot a day ago. >> i have not spoken to the president-elect since he got elected. i was on a zoom with him. he spoke to the u.s. conference of mayors along with the vice-president-elect and we didn't have a personal conversation, but they're great people and they're making right decisions across the board. whatever they decide i wholeheartedly support. >> the congressional black caucus, hispanic caucus and asian pacific islander caucus are voicing their picks as biden fills the last three cabinet posts. a few moments ago, a brief part of the statement we received from the president-elect on that unemployment benefit bill the covid-19 relief bill urging president trump to sign that document. it's the day after christmas and millions of families don't know if they'll be able to make ends meet because of president trump's refusal to sign. back to you. >> jacqui heinrich, thanks. leland: new information

we have no idea. it was a total surprise. in fact, when i was briefed this morning, i thought maybe it was going to be a propane explosion from an rv, and it turned out to be an intentional act, but we're going to follow up on every lead. we're following up on tips that come in now and we'll continue our investigative efforts. >> and this morning op fox news. >> it's important for investigators to be motive agnostic and let the information speak. i would guess right now, that investigators are starting to develop pretty solid ideas of what is happening. >> there was a ground stop at the airport because of communications issues and that's since been solved. and a scare not too far away. i shouldn't say not too far away, but cincinnati, ohio five hours north there was a scare of an rv near a federal building and authorities checked that out and turned out to be nothing. and federal and local partners, say they want tips and they always say no tip is too small. >> your sources saying anything about bulletins, warnings, threat traffic that either happened before this or put out in terms of guidance since then for law enforcement to be on the look out for? >> not specifically they've put out. you've heard the chase there on the ground say why christmas morning? he was asked about this, if christmas was a specific attack that may have not only been aimed for nashville, but other cities. at this point he said at least publicly there doesn't appear to be that. we're not hearing anything of that at this time. but at this point, it appears that this is a planned event. i mean, this is everything that we've heard so far, this was something that was planned. this was carefully calculated, especially with those recordings that were playing from that rv. leland: all right. david spunt at the doj. thank you. alicia: for more insight let's bring in former secret service agent and before we get started i'd like to put up a picture of the heroes of what went down in nashville. these would be the six police officers who went to warn people and evacuate those and in the immediate areame. we could be talking about a much different event if it weren't for them. part of the reason i wanted to put up their faces and i talked to a fbi investigators who theorized maybe the police were the target because of the way the timeline worked. what are your thoughts on this on observations? >> thankfully, yes. it's very interesting, we had the initial report of shots fired, which normally a call of that nature brings a rather heavy law enforcement response to the scene where the call directored directed them. and the other thing was the recording that was playing. and this is one of the things investigators are looking at all evidence, including the recording. it's interesting in the sense that this recording could have been playing games with law enforcement in terms of this could have been a setup for them, it could have been an ambush. it could have put law enforcement on the clock, 15 minutes to save as many lives as they could. we're certainly not dealing with a suspect who had a conscience here, in indications or that he was not trying to impact lives. when you have explosives that has that entire impact that destroy an entire block, conscience couldn't come into play. alicia: what does the timing tell you? christmas day, 6:30 in the morning. there had to be just a general understanding there weren't going to be a lot of people around. does the timing anything tell you anything here? >> the timing alone right now based on where we're at with the investigation does not. what is open is that a lot of information is now coming in as the evidence is being gathered. and each piece of evidence is going to kind of tell their own story and then they'll pull that information together to really tell the overarching story of where this started and how it came to be. but the interesting thing is we don't know if this was the primary location where this device was meant to go off. we know that based on surveillance video that the vehicle entered the location several hours prior to that, but we don't know if this was deliberately set to go off at that location at that time or if it went off ahead of schedule. so luckily, christmas day, and the timing of the explosion, traffic was down about in all of those structures you had innocent public lives, you had people living within their apartments, so there could have been a lot of lives lost if it was not for the heroic action of those law enforcement officers. >> in terms of the investigation we now know that the if ib fbi is leading this investigation. it began in the hands of the police department. how is the coordination happening? how are they keeping this at an efficient pace that so folks get some answers? >> yeah, so this is one of the great things that the fbi does in terms of infrastructure. they'll use their joint terrorism task force across the country, which include state, local law enforcement officers. what that's going to do is officially let them respond to evidentiary leads that may go from nashville to cross state lines. >> if they get a tip from an eyewitness or something else that needs to be followed up, like evidence, they could dispatch that information, deploy a team outside on the ground in that area and have them follow up on the lead and this is where the fbi and a.t.f. are going to be able to quickly move on any evidence or leads that come in. alicia: absolutely. thank you for your perspective today. thank you. >> thanks alicia. alicia: leland. leland: well, this incident is deeply personal for so many americans and especially those who have connections to the music city. among them music star john rich, who also owns a bar near the explosion site. >> we are angered by it. we're not going to take this laying down. people make attacks like this on americans to try to push us back into our homes and frighten us out of being freedom-loving people. it doesn't work that, it has the opposite effect on us. we want to push harder with our patriotism and you don't push us with blowing something up on christmas morning in nashville. leland: that was john rich and we talked to him as it was unfolding. and what struck me was how deeply personal something can be, even when you're not directly affected by it. you didn't see it, obviously it happened in his town, but the anger that people feel down there is very real and i think it's mixed with, by virtue how little we know about about this and every detail starting there was an rv that blew up and the idea that it's intentional. and who blows up an rv on christmas morning? and the details, it makes the story much more bizarre, for lack of a better word. alicia: no u'right. so many odd details in this one that even has seasoned experts scratching their heads, but it's nice to see the entertainment industry coming and pushing back in that spirit. leland: and you think about an industry, the bars and restaurants and entertainment industry in nashville's been affected so much. we'll get into the next hour how they're trying to pull themselves up by their boot straps. and one thing is the coronavirus and the stimulus bill. and tony katz is how this is playing politically and what it means for the georgia senate race when we come back. nce to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa we're portuguese?

[laughing] that works. >> fox news alert. 2 p.m. eastern an hour and 10 minutes from now, the fbi who is leading the investigation into the bombing is going to hold a press conference. we don't know what they'll announce if anything at this press conference. obviously they put out a picture of the rv that exploded last night and asked for the public's help. we'll check with our sources about of that to see if they can get you a heads-up. meanwhile, president trump is turning up the pressure as he called for larger direct payments to americans. in a tweet he says, why would politicians not want to give people $2,000 rather than 600, tony katz, good to see see you my friend. where is this money coming from? >> i think it's still coming from china and where is it coming from? where is the need? the president is not wrong it's coming from china, but shutting down businesses in haphazard and nonscientific way and causing disaster. 600, when you see the places that they have money earmarked for, and folks from the coast to the heart of the nation, that sounds normal, that you're sending billions of dollars to the egyptian military and nothing wrong with working with the egyptian military. there's something wrong with that when you have americans that are told they can't go to work and can't feed layer families, that's the issue. leland: i had a professor in college that talked about see saw and what you can do and want to do and when things are too far out of whack, they start to fall apart. congress took six months to go herb -- they took six months to negotiate this. and they're going to talk about foreign aid? >> no, it took months for nancy pelosi to want to talk about it because they didn't want to give any political wind to president trump. we could have had help months ago, but nancy pelosi refused. leland: there may be the political facts on the ground and then there's the optics. if the president is putting republicans in the senate in the position of saying no, which it seems as though many of them are and for that matter, republicans in the house because that did not pass by unanimous consent on christmas eve, that's a tricky place for republicans, isn't it? >> well, the idea that president trump has put republicans in a tricky spot before isn't anything news. leland: fair, let's get to this point. speaking of a tricky place, you've got republicans on the trail in georgia. take a listen to kelly loeffler. >> what david perdue and i have have been doing is fighting to make sure that every georgian can live the american dream. like president trump, we're outsiders and i'll never bring washington to georgia, i'm taking georgia to washington. >> the whole stump speech never once did she talk about the covid relief and stimulus bill. >> when you talk about the person who ran against here in the special election, doug collins, he voted for relief and never has been there more of a supporter for the president. and georgia, what it says to the runoff election. the idea is that this one story runs big in in election, that's not true. even if you look at the atlanta constitution, there's a story and it's not even a headline story. where i fill in, they're not talking about this, it's a beltway concoction than real life. leland: it becomes real life when it comes to the people who needs the 600 or $2,000. and the eviction moratorium. you understand when i say i'm up against a hard break, there will be more in the coming weeks, thank you, my friend. happy new year. as we told you at the beginning of this block, we have more on the investigation into the nashville bombing. the fbi has a news conference planned for a little over an hour from now. we'll check back with our sources on what might be in that news conference. we'll be right back. (burke) well, here's something else: with your farmer's policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. (customer) that is something else. (burke) get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ where something takes us to a place where we need to ask for help; and that's what food banks are here for. i asked dale if walmart would partner with us and he said, "absolutely, let's figure out how to get this done." when you start working in an area and you're out in the stores, and in the community, you see the need. it was just the right thing to do. ♪ ♪ fox news alert, we look at some of the scenes from nashville, tennessee where there was a bombing christmas morning. the fbi will hold a press conference there 2:00 p.m. eastern, the last update we got was last night, 20 hours of investigated time and a lot can change. america's news headquarters from washington, nice to be with you. we set up every time we get a new detail, it brings up more questions than answers. >> public the fbi and make it a bit clearer for us. we will bring you that news conference as it happens but first, we do know police believe the attack was intentional and investigators say they found something that could be important. charles watson is on the ground with the latest. hi, charles. reporter: we know so far law enforcement has not released or identified any suspects or mode of, at least not publicly. they say they found what appears to be human remains near the site where the rv exploded here in downtown nashville yesterday. >> we found tissue we believe could be remains, have examined it will be able to let you know from their corporate the blast was set off intentionally around 6:30 a.m. local time as officers were responded to shots fired. you can tell voices rising evacuate the area. >> evacuate now. if you can hear this message, evacuate now. reporter: moments later, you see a burst of flames as the rv explained explodes. the force of the explosion shattering windows, knocking down trees and causing damage to buildings in the area. the city of nashville is hailey these six officers as heroes. they ran into danger trying to get people out of harm's way, at least one officer suffering temporary loss of hearing following the large explosion. >> obviously the danger continued to increase and they took swift action and worked in the streets in the neighborhood to clear residents from the area and clear pedestrians from the area and they put themselves in between good and evil. reporter: tennessee governor said this morning, i toured the site of the bombing, the damages shocking and a miracle no residents were killed the first lady and i continue to pray for those who sustained injuries from the blast. the governor put an emergency declaration with president trump and we will hear more from the fbi in less than an hour. hopefully they will have new details to give to us. >> if we await the news conference at the top of the hour by the fbi, can you tell us more what's going on physically, literally physically with the folks who live in and around the area, those who had to be evacuated? they and shelters? are they allowed back in? reporter: in the area, it still cordoned off right now, authorities continue to investigate the explosion. what we know so far here in nashville, a lot of the folks displaced are saying they are staying at area hotels or shelter the red cross set up not to far from where we are. >> okay. again, we will await the news conference at the top of the hour. thanks, charles. leland: let's bring in former d.c. police detective, ted williams was on the phone with us a couple of minutes after the bombing occurred. you watched this developed in real-time. i want to put up for you the front page of the nashville paper, called the tennessean, covering the whole state based in nashville. you can see the headline at the top, evacuate now. that was the warning being blasted out of the rv. have you ever heard of something like that? >> i've never heard of something like that. that tells me they were trying to warn people in the area. i've heard several people mention perhaps they are trying to tell law enforcement, i'm not sure if that is the reality. i am also concerned about recording the put out this evacuate now. the big question to me was, is as i listen to all of this, was there somebody in the rv on allowed speaker system saying evacuate now? that's something that is questionable. leland: the fact that there were possible human remains found, at least the possibility that there was a person, we don't know if they would be dead or alive was suspect or victim inside the rv when it blew up. i keep coming back to this, at every part of this story, we lived through it minute by minute yesterday morning as it was unfolding, every piece of information, it makes less sense rather than bore. >> you are absolutely right. this is a mystery. as you know, i sent yesterday and i'll say it again, a national terrorist or domestic terrorist, they want to take out as many people as they can. to detonate this at 6:30 a.m., certainly they were looking to take out that many people. i think what's going on right now, and we should hear about it in this news conference, the fbi and local authorities are doing what i define as a grid search. they cordoned off the area and what they are doing is to do a grid search and pick up as much evidence as i can and i can tell you, there's a great deal of evidence. leland: we said yesterday when we talked, it was the axle from the ryder truck in oklahoma city that broke the case wide open. the one thing number is how they got to timothy mcvay. you only need one piece of good evidence for investigators, especially the fbi to pull on that and create something out of it. this is interesting because every step of the way we realize law enforcement knows a whole lot more than they are letting on in this case. my question to you, reading between the lines, the press conference last night with the chief, what is it they know or what should we be listening for that might give us a different clue to where they are headed? >> everything centers around that rv. i think as you say, even when something explodes like that rv, there's evidence. they can give serial numbers and backtrack and follow-up on the real numbers to find out owned the rv. we know at 1:22 a.m., the rv was seen in the area on second street. leland: all right, just hearing now it's likely the fbi special agent in charge of the field office and investigations will speed through this press conference in about 50 minutes of the top of the hour. not unusual there. we put up a picture of the six officers, a number of officers responded to the call of shots fired, they saw the rv and heard the warning blasting out of evacuate now and the countdown of the timer. you think of the six officers working late christmas eve or early christmas morning, the presence of mind to evacuate people and be able to organize that on a cold christmas morning is nothing short of heroic, amazing. again, i've never heard of anything like this. >> we could say this is god's blessing, to have officers who always under these circumstances run toward danger. they knew and heard about the danger, they heard about the audio from the truck and immediately moved to evacuate the area. they did an exemplary job and take our hats off to these kinds of heroes. these are the kind of heroes we have all over this country. law enforcement officers doing their job, men and women of law enforcement. leland: that is for sure. they represent the very best and it's nice in situations like this to take a minute and see their pictures and give them a pat on the back. you can imagine, ted, we always appreciate you being here and will put their picture of one more time. thank you very much. talk to you soon. >> my pleasure. leland: president trump is receiving regular updates on the bombing as he spent his holiday weekend and marlo. for more, let's turn to meredith in west palm beach florida. hi, mark. reporter: president trump nominated, he has not put a tweet out about the investigation. we are used to these kinds of things in real-time. the white house was put out, he's offering his prayers for those injured in the blast. as for the president, we were told we were are not expected to see him on camera today. the white house called a list. the president has been active on twitter about over the subject, including the $900 billion similar skill and spending package, waiting his signature or veto. the president tweeted, i want to get our great people $2000 rather than the measly $600 now in the bill. billions of dollars in ports. it's important to remember the president has not said he will veto the stimulus package tied to the overall spending bill. the president has been complaining too much money is going to foreign aid as opposed to money spent closer to home lindsey graham waiting on twitter friday and wrote, after spending time with the president today, a tweet from yesterday, i'm convinced he's more determined than ever to increase stimulus payments to $2000 a person, big tech liability protection. the general consensus is were hogan's congress are not what you want to spend additional money on stimulus checks. we are talking about an expensive bill already. i apologize, the president is demanding this, it's unclear whether or not republicans will go along with his demands. we've been asking the white house whether or not we will see an update. so far, nothing from him but we will let you know once we hear from them. >> thanks, mark. ♪ leland: millions are caught in the middle of washington's dysfunction on this. in addition to the possibility of seamless checks, 600 or $2000, unemployment benefits run out this week meaning those hit the hardest by the coronavirus get no more. here's what this means. reporter: really scary times for so many americans. 14 million struggling americans set to lose out on the federal employment benefits, $300 a week and it's all happening because of what's going on in washington. the president demanding changes to the $900 billion bipartisan coronavirus package. the package would have extended the expended unemployment benefits through march at least the president does not sign it tonight, he's not expected to. two programs will expire at midnight look at what we are talking about here. 7.3 million workers enrolled in pandemic unemployment assistance and 4.6 million receiving the pandemic emergency unemployment compensation. of those, more than half will still be able to collect extended benefits and cash-strapped states, they may have to pitch in and help. it's leaving many americans high and dry. >> i've talked to so many people who are just plain scared you talk about what's going to happen unemployment today but they are going to be evicted during the holidays, they were families struggling to put food on the table. you've seen stories on the network about long lines of people needing help food. people are scared and desperate. >> joe biden released a statement about this about an hour ago fighting today about 10 million americans will lose unemployment insurance benefits, delay means more small businesses will survive this dark winter because they lack access to the lifeline they need. the house is expected to take up the direct payment debates, $600 versus $2000 in direct payments. that part of the bill monday but it's not clear what the senate will do when it reconvenes tuesday. leland: government shut them hanging in the middle there. i think democrats at least think they have the votes for the $2000 checks monday in the house. who knows what happened in the senate. thank you. >> joining us now, arkansas congressman and member of the house financial services committee, french hill. thank you so much for being here this saturday. appreciate it. for those folks who aren't following the minute to minute behaviors going on in washington and beyond and on twitter, they see a bill that passed that would help them and then they see the president coming back with the possibility of a larger payment, lizzie graham, republican ways in nancy pelosi bring this to the floor and the house. it's almost like watching, terrifying tennis match back and forth and folks are vulnerable right now. rent is due friday, what you say to americans waiting for this part of what passes for negotiation to end so they get assistance? >> we waited for months for nancy pelosi to stop fostering before the election the covid relief. with the help of president trump and secretary treasury mnuchin, we got a bipartisan overwhelming support for this $900 billion covid relief that helps our small businesses and those on unemployment rental assistance is in it and has family payment for family of $2400. in my view, the president should assign this bill because it helps american families today, his administration worked hard to get to the floor. it was unfortunate speaker pelosi asked for unrealistic things but it's important we help our families today. >> it was the presidents announcement that he wanted it to be a $2000 check that kind of banked the rug out from underneath on both sides of the aisle here. does he need to take some of the responsibility here in this delay getting help to people? >> i wish he made that pitch for $2000 over the last three weeks after the bill was passed. it might have given us more leverage to get slightly higher payment. i think it will be extraordinary hard to get the payment to the senate and the house and be timely for the american people. i sense his frustration very much that nancy pelosi tied badly needed covid relief to her annual appropriations bills but that was the decision she took. >> there are a lot of folks wondering, is there any way to separate this out so they can get what they need in the time they need it? >> i believe we should pass the covid compromise bill. if we had a motion on the house floor to vote the senate and house leadership would increase the payment and offset that through cutting appropriation amount, i think both sides of the aisle would consider that. i just question whether the time and inclination to do that will have people out there hurting need the covid certainty right now. >> for most, they just want to know how much and when are they going to get it? i would like to move on to the investigation in nashville, we are awaiting an update by the fbi at the top of the hour but i do know vanderbilt university alone, you know nashville very well. your thoughts today. >> this is a popular part of the city and my heart goes out to my friends in davidson county and nashville. it was tornadoes early in the year end now to and christmas day with this horrific and now very mysterious act. my heart goes out to them but i have every confidence in the city of nashville in u.s. attorney and fbi to get to the bottom of what kind of sick person would have done this christmas day. >> hopefully the fbi will be able to shine more light here in about 40 minutes, a little more. congressman hill, thank you for your time today. spewing

and uk announcing a post brexit great deal of days before the united kingdom set to leave. lawmakers on both side say they are still unanswered questions. here is the latest. hi, ryan. reporter: perhaps the biggest unanswered question is how the parties to this deal, united kingdom, the world fifth largest economy with its 4,150,000,000 consumers will be affected by this deal in the long run. going into this, nearly every economic forecast that the uk will be worse off at least economically speaking and it remained in the european union however, nearly as many forecasts also said leading the european union without a trade deal would be even worse than leaving with trade deal. the uk got a glimpse of what that looked like last weekend when france closed the border with the uk after the uk announced it detected a new strain of coronavirus. they had to close the border for health reasons, that caused thousands of trucks to pile up your ports on england southern coast. france has since reopened borders and the threat no deal because of the sign all but disappeared. clearly a delight when it was announced just in time for christmas. the british parliament will have to gratify that will happen wednesday. the opposition of this country said they will vote for it because it's better than the alternative of no deal at all. one of the final snags to reaching this deal was fishing and how much access to uk gives its neighbors to its fishing watters. fishing amount to just one tenth of 1% of the british economy but it's usually political. hard to overstate how big of a deal that is. nearly a trillion dollars worth of trade between them every ye year, the trade deal supports that but it's worth remembering it's not free economically speaking as with the uk had when it was part of the european union. with the uk gained was the right to control its immigration from other eu countries. something it couldn't do when it was part of the union. the brussels europe capital was solid. the eu still has 27 countries in the trading block, he doesn't want any of those countries to leave and of course it really never wanted the uk to leave as the uk chose to do 4.5 years ago after all. quoting shakespeare, the president of the european commission said to our friends in the uk, parking is such sweet sorrow. >> thanks so much. leland: earliest shakespeare's ever made an appearance on this show. why did the national bomber play a warning before the rv exploded? with the sba is making of the 911 call, 6:00 a.m. christmas morning. coming up. ♪ we are now just an hour away from fbi update on the national christmas bombing. justice department, what we might be hearing from the fbi. reporter: the fbi falls under the justice department and on the job a few days, acting attorney general jeff rosen, he's made the full weight of the justice department available to investigators in nashville. the fbi, is the lead on the case. we don't know specifically what they're going to say but i assume it will be an update and fbi officials said stay tuned. there will be news made here. obviously during this news conference in about a half an hour or so, could be a few minutes late. i want to play what authorities continue to go over and over, it is a warning sign, a warning sound i should say, from the rv that exploded. listen. >> evacuate now. if you can hear this, evacuate now. if you can hear this, evacuate now. if you can hear this, evacuate now. if you can hear this, evacuate now. >> then the explosion happened right after that it's not something authorities typically see where they have such a warning. fifteen minute warning. authorities say the rv was the catalyst for the explosion you owned it, drove it and put explosives in the vehicle, all questions are being asked. >> we don't have anything at this time. we are following up on everything we can. by christmas morning? we have no idea. a total surprise. this morning, i thought maybe it would be a propane, it turned out to be this. we will follow up on every lead. we will continue our investigative efforts. >> former atf special agent in charge, he has experience with these exposures, he gave his take on the investigation. listen. >> i stress again, it's important for the investigators to be agnostic at this time and let it stay. i would guess right now investigators are starting to develop solid ideas of what is happening here. >> this happened near a well-known scraper, a beautiful building that houses at&t corporate offices, the last caused widespread outages across tennessee, kentucky and georgia, police agencies reported issues with 911 systems as of yesterday. the faa issued a brown stop at the nashville airport because of the munication issues. so far, the good news of 911 systems are back, it's gone at the airport but it makes you wonder and maybe we will hear this in half an hour, if this was also planned, it was more than just an explosion if the people behind this wanted to ruin and disrupt the new communication systems and make it on a larger scale. we will bring you details in about half an hour. leland: the sound you played where he said

releasing information to the public when they may need help from the public. >> it's a balancing act. it is where the strength concept comes into play,. [inaudible] they pull together fbi resources, atf resources and nashville pd and other federal resources, routinely try to investigate and anticipate possible terrorist activity. press conference gives the opportunity for some level of reassurance to the general public that they have an idea of what's going on, if they are making progress while at the same time creating a format in which people are encouraged to reach out to them with additional information. >> there are so many questions surrounding this event happened in nashville yesterday morning. especially motive and the targ target. earlier today, we were talking to a former fbi agent who also worked on the oklahoma city bombing investigation. his theory, it's just a theory, the police officers themselves are the target. what are your thoughts? >> it's hard to evaluate. all we say is it's indicated by the evidence. sometimes it's a mistake to create a theory first -- i would respect atf and experts on annual types of explosive use. the fbi understands intelligence and networks. the police department and local actives, some of them may be involved. they are tracking well the band came from the vehicle and the types of explosives. they have a good sense of what the intelligence in the metro area. they may have access to the social media and they are getting tips now. i would suspect right now what they are learning is helping them develop a theory moving forward but i would certainly say strange warning with broadcast first. the warning clearly means we are trying to restore destroyed property, or not necessarily injure or kill anyone. to me it's a serious aspect. i would suspect need to leave it to the investigators. >> once again, they deserve it so much, the attention. the six police officers responsible for going into this area, evacuating folks out of this area downtown. we could be talking about a much worse event here had it not been for these six men and women. >> certainly. so much depends on the responding officers. not only their courage but also their judgment the fact that they are literally next to a ticking time bomb, they were able to help people. they were still able to get out of there with only minor injuries as a trigger to their training and certainly for the education. it takes guts to stand there and go through those aspects with your child. officers are placed there to do that. they are putting their lives on the line on behalf of people they don't know. >> and we are all so very grateful. thank you so much for your time today. appreciate it. leland: support growing for recall of gavin newsom during the lockdown. thirty restaurant owners are suing him over the restrictions. one chef has had enough. next. ♪ we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz... a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can help relieve joint pain and swelling, stiffness, and helps stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. xeljanz. are you managing ...using fingersticks? with the new freestyle libre 2 system, a continuous glucose monitor, you can check your glucose with a painless, one-second scan. and now with optional alarms, you can choose to be notified if you go too high or too low. and for those who qualify, the freestyle libre 2 system is now covered by medicare. ask your doctor for a prescription. you can do it without fingersticks. learn more at freestyle libre 2 dot u.s. ♪ in california, taking. despite the state having the countries restricted lockdowns. one celebrity chef says no more and he will divide the governor. joining us now, owner and chef, andrew. we appreciate you being with us. the status update right now, how many of your restaurants are supposed to be closed that your keeping open? >> we got six in socal were patios are wide open and keeping them open right now. leland: what happened next? they are supposed to be closed but your having them open. willie sent the california highway patrol? who will tell you to stop? >> aaa.

>> i have not been made aware of any of that but they should comfortable and note the ability of the investigators is remarkable. what they can do with finding evidence or video evidence of what they can do with technology and computers and laptops and bones but the thing that makes the biggest difference is someone picking up the phone and say i saw something that looked like that than two days ago and it disturbs me. this is information back go back for a day or two it's helpful to the investigators. leland: second avenue, you know it better than most and patrolled a long time, 6:30 p.m. this is eve 12 hours before, it would have been packed with people going to bars and restaurants. certainly on a weekend would have been packed, certainly this weekend especially. tennessee is open and they can enjoy socialization. when you look at all this, the fact that it happened at 6:30 a.m. and a warning of people to leave, it doesn't fit the typical narrative we've learned about of any kind of terrorism. >> yes, it seems odd to know what the intent was of the person who put the vehicle there or reported, recorded audio but that will be important as the investigation continues. a vibrant and wonderful community, full of people, downtown is visited often. we are just glad the police officers on the scene, the six of them did very brave things early on to help people knock on doors and notify anybody they could to vacate the area. leland: just to get your perspective, we talked about this yesterday a little bit but didn't give them the credit, to arrive somewhere at 6:00 p.m. -- 6:00 a.m. christmas morning either just getting on or off a late shift in the cold morning, hearing that sound from the rv and immediately going into action, that's incredible police work especially for folks that young. >> absolutely. it tells us two things. one, no such thing as a routine call. two, the men and women of law enforcement are noble people who do noble things and put their lives on the line every day and we ought to be incredibly thankful we have these people in our communities. leland: thankful for the leadership of the police department you help train. we appreciate you joining us to achieve. talk to you soon. all the best. >> thank you very much. leland: look at the podium in nashville, one formed. five minutes from the fbi update. we'll be right back. ♪ we all have seasons in our lives where something takes us to a place where we need to ask for help; and that's what food banks are here for. i asked dale if walmart would partner with us and he said, "absolutely, let's figure out how to get this done." when you start working in an area and you're out in the stores, and in the community, you see the need. it was just the right thing to do. ♪ ♪ live pictures out of nashville where the fbi is expected to give an update on the christmas morning bombing in just a few minutes. federal agents and officers on the ground as they work to identify either a suspect or motive and the federal aviation administration has now issued a temporary flight restriction over the skies of nashville, defining them as national defense airspace. that means pilots who don't adhere to these rules could be detained or intercepted by law enforcement as we continue to wait for federal officials on the ground. leland: they do want news helicopters and drones flying about crime scenes like this and disturbing anything or just being loud. we've talked all morning how every time we learn something new about this case as it broke 8:00 a.m. yesterday, is only led to more questions rather than hard concrete answers. everything is more bizarre than the last piece of information we hope the fbi can shed some light on things. >> a strange set of details. everyone is grateful for the police who came to the rescue in downtown nashville be on our hats go off to them they will get the reward they deserve. -- ♪ >> who did it and why? you're looking at the news conference said to be held right now, fbi giving an update on the investigation into yesterday's shocking christmas morning explosion in downtown nashville. listen to officials. special agent in charge of the fbi, u.s. attorney and nashville lease chief, john drake. they are discussing this horrific explosion 6:30 a.m. yesterday. >> u.s. attorney conference. >> good afternoon. 2020 has been a tough year for nashville. started back in march
