Bill as soon as next week, but republicans still want less spending than democrats. The gop is balking at the president s proposal which has a price tag of nearly 2 trillion. Lets go to david spunt now live at the white house. So, david, i mean, the National Debt has been going up for years, so why are republicans balking at it now amid a Public Health crisis . Reporter hi, arthel. Many republicans are asked this on a daily basis, and theyll answer it differently. For instance, senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina wants to provide more direct payments to the american people. He was in favor of that 2,000 mark, said listen to my fiscallyconservative friends, the time is now because we are in a pandemic. So it depends on the republican. Speaking of the time is now, thats what President Joe Biden is saying as far as this nearly 2 Trillion Covid relief package concerned. Biden went on the Campaign Trail for almost two years, was talking about working with republicans, working across the aisle to get deals done. Now the gridlock, the reality of gridlock In Washington is, no question, settling in as we go further along with this covid relief package. Remember though, arthel, democrats still have the majority in the house, they have the majority now in the senate, also the white house. But the president says he wants to do things in a bipartisan manner first. If republicans dont want to jump onboard, hell move forward anyway. Millions of people are out of work, unemployed, future millions or that are held back for no good reason other than our failure to act. So the choice couldnt be clearer. We have learned from past crises the risk is not tining too much, the doing too much, the risk is not doing enough. Reporter no question this measure is expected to easily pass in the house, then it will go to the democraticrun senate. Pat toomey, joe manchin and Susan Collins of maine, the senate will be decided, important voteses will be decided by the Vice President , kamala harris. You can expect that shell vote to pass this measure, this covid relief measure x. Then we get back into talking about former President Trump. In his last few weeks in office, he was pushing these 2,000 direct payments to the american people. Actually, House Speaker nancy pelosi agreed with him, she said its one of the times i can agree with you on this. The question is now will the republicans in the house and the senate, arthel, that agreed with President Trump on those 2,000 Stimulus Payments will agree with President Biden on the matter. Arthel . Arthel well, lets hope that politics can step aside for the sake of the people. David spunt, thank you. Eric . Reporter thank you. Eric and, arthel, speaking of coronavirus, now a third Covid Vaccine could soon be authorized for use here in our country. Johnson johnson saying it has applied for Emergency Approval next month, that that after its singleshot vaccine, they say, was 72 effective in preventing moderate to severe covid19 in a nationwide Phase Three Trial. That, though, is well below the Efficiency Rate of the pfizer and moderna twoshot vaccines that are already in use. Meanwhile, New York City will soon allow Indoor Dining to resume with limited compassty. Restaurant owners struggling, as you know, to try and stay open during the pandemic including in atlanta where Charles Watson is standing by headquarters for the cdc, of course. Charles . Reporter yeah, you know, it really is the fight for restaurants here in georgia and across the country to keep their doors open. We spoke to the owner of the Silver Skillet here behind me that tells us business is just not profitable right now. It is kind of a game of averages. Well have a good month where all the bills are paid, then well have a month where were not quite that close. We are not making any money. We are not making a dime. But the rents paid, the bills are paid, and the employees are making some money. Reporter you know, and states like california, new york and michigan, as they begin to put plans in place to ease covid19 restrictions, thousands of restaurants across the country are in a financial freefall with as many as half a million at risk of closing for good according to the National Restaurant association. Back at the Silver Skillet, theyre just pulling in enough to keep the doors open as the pandemic rages on. The owner says not knowing what the future holds is really the scary part. What keeps me up at night is not knowing whats going to happen. Whether its due to political requirements that we have to sustain and maintain or whether its just the pandemic itself is continuing to linger this thing would just go away, everybody get their vaccinations and maybe wed get back to full speed. Reporter you know, eric, even in a state like georgia where covid19 restrictions are more relaxed, its hard for business owners, and industry the experts say it could be until 2023 when folks start to see things go back to normal. Back to you, eric. Eric you know what they have at the Silver Skillet . Fried catfish strips with your omelet. Chicken and waffles. That a place looks absolutely great. If youre in the atlanta area, go to the Silver Skillet to try to support them and your local restaurants. Arthel i was just saying that i would have ordered pancakes, bacon and grits. Now back to the news, everybody. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is responding for the first time to a damning report by his own Attorney General on nursing home coronavirus deaths. The report says officials undercounted those deaths by as much as 50 . In a Press Conference friday, the governor reacted with grief and anger and placing some of the blame on the Trump Administration. Alex hogan is live in New York City with more. Alex . Reporter hi, arthel. Im here in new york outside of governor Andrew Cuomos New York City office. The governor did respond to that report, as you mentioned, this week saying a lot of the information was already known. The numbers, the bottom line number doesnt change. You die in a hospital, you die in a facility, thats your total number. Reporter the report released thursday finding that new York Governor Andrew Cuomos policy in march requiring Nursing Homes to accept covid19 patients during the pandemic may have increased this risk. The new York Department of Health Finding that more than 12,000 people died, 4,000 more than reported. The initial numbers do not count patients who were infected with the virus and later died at hospitals. Cuomo saying no one is to blame but then shifting the focus to the federal government calling out the Trump Administration for playing politics. The former assistant secretary of health firing back, saying that it was far from federal guidance. That is completely nontrue. What Governor Cuomo said is the Nursing Homes had to take back these patients. In no way was this federal government guidance. That is just absolutely wrong, and he cant shift the blame. He has to own this one. Reporter so a lot of Family Members since those comments and even today speaking up, a lot of criticism saying that they are asking the governor for an apolo sky apology, for more accountable, mainly responsibility from their political leaders. Arthel in. Arthel thank you, alex. Eric . Eric well, for more on that troubling decision to send infected people to Nursing Homes, lets bring in wall street Editorial Page assistant editor james freeman, also a fox news contributor. You know, james, for governor andrew cuomo, this is turning into a pretty shocking scandal. Questions about his stewardship, how he really handled the pandemic, even though the guy earned an emmy, he wrote a book. He was lauded and praised, you know, for his video presentations, but all this challenges the narrative. Its really disgraceful. Obviously our colleague, janice dean, has done great work raising the alarm on this and others have as well. Just so people understand, this is a longterm, aggressive coverup effort by the Cuomo Administration thats finally coming undone. You go back to last summer when Governor Cuomo had his Health Department put out a report that seemed to exonerate their management on the nursing home issue, the Albany Times Union newspaper last summer tried to get the underlying data to that report. They were denied over and over again. At one point they were told by the Cuomo Administration that they were dc the government was on a diligent search for the data. If they didnt have the data, how could they have exonerated themselves in the report . This has gone on and on, at one point citing Privacy Restrictions x then they wouldnt even provide blank copies of the surveys they had sent to Nursing Homes, so there was no possible eric do you think they tried to hide this . Do you think this was a purposeful well [inaudible conversations] eric cover it up. You are i do. I think as clear in the thats clear in the record, and i think you see as they now acknowledge once the truth has come out what real number was. The governor is now making a very dubious claim that the overall death tolls would have been the same regardless. Im not so sure. If his policies had not been fold, if wed had a more honest look at them earlier, perhaps things could have turned out differently. Eric you know, you mentioned janice dean. Janice e her his sean, her inlaws both died of coronavirus. They were in an a assisted living facility. She has been crusading about this. What has she gotten from the administration in they dumped on her. Yeah. Nothing but [inaudible conversations] and an effort to discredit the Truth Tellers here. We really need to emphasize new york has been almost a unique disaster. It has, of course, the largest number of overall covid deaths to date in the united states, its on a per capita basis, its number two behind new jersey which is following the same awful policies. And at the same time, we saw this mortality you also had a crushing of the economy where new york to this day has one of the highest unemployment rateses in the country eric you know, Governor Cuomo james, let me interrupt you for a second, he says that the rates in Nursing Homes are 5 better than other states across the country. Look, he said in the Previous Report that he was following federal guidelines, that the state was following what the Trump Administration was putting out, that it was okay to put people back into Nursing Homes, they said, if the Nursing Homes can handle someone who potential wily would have had coronavirus. And a lot of these infections came from staff. So what do you think about the governors defense . It was a new york state order that sent those patients to the Nursing Homes. It was new york state policy, often at odds with trump policy and recommendations. You remember a lot of media folks enjoyed last year presenting cuomo as kind of the successful alternative to whatever the white house was suggesting. Cnn, i think theres a special responsibility for promoting this guy as some sort of model for the country. We now know both on the Public Health level and on the economic level his policies were a disaster. And i think his corrupting of the data was especially harmful because new york add had the early surge. This is obviously a virus that no one knew much about last year, and were still learning. But if the approach had been honest, if the numbers had been clear, perhaps, perhaps some of these sensible doctors who have been saying for months and months and months you should focus protection on elderly in Nursing Homes and allow the rest of society to continue to operate which we now realize was the right approach, not the cuomo approach, things might have turned out very differently and for the better. Of. Eric it is so sad and shocking, and they say new york was one of the few states that counted these deaths of people when they went to the hospital. The nursing home patients, if they died in the hospital, they counted them not as a nursing home death. Now they are, and theres still questions about that. James freeman of the wall street george, to be continued. Thank you. Thanks, shaun. Thanks, eric. Eric and later on our arthel eric, thank you very much.

Arthel the dow fell 620 points yesterday closing under 30,000 to end a wild week that saw small Retail Investors spurred by social media taking on the big hedge funds. Shares in gamestop soared after the hedge funds had shorted it. The Stock Closing at 325 friday, thats up dramatically from its january 4th close at 17. 25. Another embattled stock, theater chain amc, closed at 13. 26 friday, thats way up from 2. 01 on july 4th. Now, lawmakers are talking about Holding Hearings over concerns the market may be in a dangerous bubble. Lets bring in the president and ceo of leventhal global advisers. Dominic, first of all, what does all of this mean . Just break it down for us. All right. So lets start why this whole thing happened. So lets say, arthel, i own a stock, and i dont like it because i think that stock is going to go down. Well, simply, im just going to sell it, take my money and put it someplace else. But if i want to profit from the price of that stock going down, lets say from 10 to 2, i can actually borrow shares. Lets say i borrow e from you, i will go out and sell them in the market at 10, i will wait for the price to come down, buy em back at 2 and return those shares to you. And profit the 8. So we have Billionaire Hedge Funds out there that are playing this game with these stocks thinking the price is going to go down, have sold billions of Dollars Worth of these shares hoping the price would go down, they could buy them back and return those shares. The problem is small investors is have figured out this game, and instead of the price of the stock going down, the stock has gone up, forcing these Billionaire Hedge Funds to come back and buy em at higher prices, huge losses for the Billionaire Hedge Funds, big profits for the small investors. Arthel thank you for breaking that down, and thats what i was going to ask you, how is that different from what happens inside hedge funds, and you just told us. But also, why should we care . Well, the big issue here is that the price of this company, gamestop, has gone through the roof. And to its one thing when youre pushing this lever to try to push a stock up so you could profit from it, but now we have an incredible amount of unsophisticated small investors who are just focusing on the price of the stock going higher. So we have a lot of small investors buying it not quite understanding the panics. And the other side you have very large institutional traders that have literally lost A Billion Dollars, money that they may have to go and borrow to try to pay back. They might be forced to el other stocks to sell other stocks and bonds that they normally would not want to sell, depressing the prices of the stock market which is what weve had happen this week. And ultimately, they could have to close their doors and maybe those they partner with also be in financial difficulty. So so we are dealing with a very precarious situation right now. Itll unraffle, but hopefully not with too much damage. Arthel if im one of those little guys, why shouldnt i get in the same game . Why shouldnt i, the socalled little guy, get in the game and game the system . Well, so this is exactly their argument. Theyve watched big players, the clash of the titans back when we saw this happen with herbalife and other companies, and these major institutions, investors made a lot of money or lost a lot of money. From their perspective, hey, guess what . Im going to be one of these guys, and in a herd mentality, theyre actually acting like A Billion Dollar hedge fund. The problem, of course, is they bid up the price of these companies to an unrealistic price. Sooner or later those companies are going to come back down to normal. If you end up buying the price of that stock at a high, youre going to suffer that loss. It really a game of musical chairs. The musics going to stop playing. Arthel dont stop the music ever. I love music. Anyway, back to this story. Why do or should lawmakers or the federal government care or get involved . So little investors not understanding what theyre doing and should there be some guard there to protect them from themselves. Also if you had a Major Financial Institution fall, fail in this case, would it bring down the system, would it create damage to other financial institutions. So there should be some safeguards here. But certainly the little investors are going were just playing the same game that the big boys are playing and beating them at their own game. Arthel we will continue to watch this story, and tom nick, well have you dominic, well have you back on to talk about it. Love to. Thank you, arkansas hell. Arthel take care. Eric the new deadly form of coronavirus, were told, is spreading across the country this as the next expected vaccine from Johnson Johnson, well, its not as effective as the two current vaccines on the market at 70 .

Meanwhile, President Biden is Making A Push to try and safely reopen the majority of k8 schools in the first is 00 days 100 days of his presidency. California governor gavin newsom is Warning Schools may not open this Academic Year if all the teachers and staff have to be vaccinated. Christina coleman live in los angeles which has been so hard hit by covid19. Christina . Reporter yeah, it definitely has. Many parents just want their kids back in school, theyre exhausted and tired of all this back and forth between unions and the School Districts, but the fighting continues. This week the California Teachers Association pushed back against reopening by sending a letter to the governor that says an aggressive plan focused on statewide Safety Measures and effective Vaccine Rollouts for Essential Workers including educators is needed. Newsom, who would like schools to reopen for some students within the next couple of weeks, reportedly told the union, quote if we wait for the perfect, we might as well pack it up and just be honest with folks that were not going to open for inperson instruction this school year. Chicagos mayor, lori lightfoot, is taking a stand saying chicagos Public Schools will reopen for elementary and middle schools monday even though the union and the School District still in negotiations, so this could lead to a teacher strike. Union leadership has chosen to disregard the science on reopening schools and instead replace cdc guidance with their own gut instincts. Unfortunately, yet another day where we in the cps kept fighting for our children. And in this day, the ctu leadership has failed. Reporter tension is also mounting in massachusetts. Governor Charlie Baker announced seniors 65 and older moving those up in the states prioritybased Covid Vaccine rollout.

Meantime, bidens chief of staff, ron klain, is reiterating the notion that more Financial Investments in Public Schools are needed so they can reopen stayly are, pushing for bidens safely, pushing for bidens 1. 9 Trillion Covid relief package. Eric . Eric christina, thank you. Arthel A Second State has now confirmed a case of the new south african covid19 strain. Marylands governor making the announcement today. Just two days after the strain was first detected South Carolina. This as Health Officials predicted the u. K. Covid variant will be the dominant strain in the u. S. And worldwide by march. Meanwhile, johnson and johnson revealing its singleshot vaccine was found to be 72 effective in preventing moderate to severe covid19 in a nationwide Phase Three Trial but only 66 in a larger trial worldwide. The company says it plans to apply for Emergency Use Authorization in the u. S. Early february with the product ready to ship immediately following approval. Lets bring in dr. Marty makary of Johns Hopkins university. Hes joining us now, he is also a fox news medical contributor. So, dr. Makary, whats your take on the Johnson Johnson vaccine . Would you recommend are it . I would. You know, 72 effective is pretty good and, remember, its not an apples to apples comparison with the other pfizer and Moderna Vaccine because theres a lot more variants out there now. So with all of the vaccines, it appears that the effectiveness is lower with the new mutations, so something to keep in mind. Arthel so do you know if Johnson Johnson is developing a second shot . Yeah. Actually, all the companies are working on a second shot. That is another version of the vaccine to address the mutations. Moderna was really the most effective in talking to the media about that, j j says theyre doing the same. You know, j js trial with this new vaccine that was done in south africa showed only 57 protection, and thats probably because of the south african variant. Arthel im going to get back to that in a second, but i understand that Johnson Johnson, the vaccine was created using a different virus rather than an mrna technology. Does that make it more or less effective . This is a technology thats been around for a while. It was used with ebola successfully. Its a virus that does not cause illness in humans, but it does generate that Spike Protein so the body can start the immune response. Arthel so back no these variants, i mean, are we in a race, dr. Makary, against the virus and its characteristic of mutating or reproducing new strains or variants . I mean, can the current vaccines keep up . Yeah, absolutely. Were at a real Critical Point right now, arthel, because were seeing a rapid deceleration in daily cases in the united states, a 40 reduction in daily are new cases over the last three weeks. But at the same time, the new variants pose a significant risk. Theyre more contagious, they may be more deadly, and the vaccines are increasingly working less effective as more mutations happen. And given the current rate, its pretty clear people are going to need to come back for another vaccine more frequently than previously thought. Arthel perhaps once a year . I dont think itll be as frequent as the influenza virus, but pretty frequently. Arthel whats the best . Until we can get the majority of americans vaccinated, how do we protect ourselves . I think the standard precautions, i also think we should be maximizing first doses. You know, a lot of states are holding back their second doses. They should be maximizing people to get first doses. I dont think it makes sense from a saving lives standpoint to give somebody a second dose when youve got vulnerable highrisk americans not getting the first dose, and we know the first dose confers pretty good immunity, 8090 . It increases over time, and no one has ever died because they missed or delayed their second dose to date. Arthel so youre saying get the shots in the arms as soon as possible, and then you feel confident that the second doses will ship and be distributed and arrive at their proper locations in time for that second date dose even if theres a little bit of a delay. Yeah. Delay is not our major concern. Our concern is a race against time with the new variants. You know, 50 million vaccines, arthel, have been distributed, but only 54 have been given in peoples arms. So about half the supply is sitting around right now. Some states are doing better and others are doing worse. States that are doing better, ironically, are ones with very small departments of health. West virginia is doing best, 81 of their supplies administered. North dakota, south dakota, theyre second and third. These are small departments of health that work efficiently. Meanwhile, maryland, massachusetts, california, illinois have distributed not even half of their supplies. Those are larger departments. Arthel yeah. And ive heard on a Press Conference the other day that the West Virginia governor got a shoutout for tining such a good job. Do you feel confident well, im not going to ask you that question. It seems that the Biden Administration seem to be very diligent about getting this Distribution System in order. We wish them well, we hope for the best, thats for all of us. What can we do . Should i double mask . Arthel, ooh ive been wearing a surgical mask in the Operating Room for my entire career, and if its worked for me for 25 years, i think a simple Surgical Grade mask works for everybody. Now, if youre high risk and youre losing a poor quality mask, a cloth mask, maybe a second mask could make sense. Arthel okay. Thank you very much, dr. Marty makary, appreciate your with advice. Thanks so much. Arkansas a take care. Everything eric very good advice. Meanwhile, Overseas Moscow is cracking down on protests in support of kremlin critic alexei navalny. His brother was put urn house arrest yesterday, this as the United Nations Security Council is set e to discuss this coming wednesday a proposal to possibly intervene in the standoff and investigate navalnys original poisoning. Kitty logan is live in london now with the very latest on that. Hi, kitty. Reporter hi, eric. Yes, will there have been Widespread International criticism of navalnys arrest. Hes still in jail ahead of the next protests by his supporters tomorrow. Navalny appeared in court on thursday. He accused the government, the russian government, of trying to intimidate him. His appeal against his arrest was rejected. Of course, navalny was detained back on january 17th as he returned to russia from germany. He was recovering from a suspected poisoning. Last saturday were some of the largest demonstrations in russia in many years in several cities, all calling for his release. Thousands arrested during those protests. Among them, navalnys wife x. This week that net closed even further with the arrest, as you mentioned, of navalnys brother, or just one of a series of raids on homes and offices linked to navalnys family and supporters. President biden has voiced concern about this in a call with vladimir putin, and Russian Police are already warning people to stay away from that protest planned in moscow for sunday, but it seems that navalnys supporters are very determined. Eric . Eric all right, kitty, well see what happens. Thank you. Arthel. Arthel outrage as millions of americans wait anxiously for the Coronavirus Vaccine while the pentagon is now offering vaccines to Guantanamo Bay prisoners including the accused mastermind of the 9 11 attacks.

Eric well, or the pentagon is offering to vaccinate gitmo detainees as soon as next week including the Accused Mattsermind of the 9 11 mastermind of the 9 11 terror attacks with the Coronavirus Vaccine. You know, this decision is sparking outrage particularly after President Biden warned it may take months for the majority of the rest of us, americans, to get their shots. Danielle hoffman, former cia Station Chief, joins us, fox news contributor. So, dan, the pentagon says that the gitmo detainees, they need the vaccine before they can appear in court. Well, why not give it to the judges and the lawyers to make sure theyre protected and not these guys . Yeah, i think that would certainly make sense. You know, i know firsthand the Legal Profession has used technology very well to enable remote functioning of the legal process, and, look, we all know that detainees and prisoners are very comfortable with physical and social distancing. Youd think that they would have found a suitable workaround here as opposed to giving what is a very short supply of the vaccine which is saving lives for our citizens. Eric i mean, its stunning. Heres governor George Pataki who was the above of new york during 9 11. He tweeted this out the mastermind of those horrible attacks and the man who bragged about Beheading Daniel Parallel gets advantage d daniel pearl gets vaccinated before the Men And Women of 9 11 . Inexcusable. Theyre vaccinating these monsters . You know, the rest of us, most of us cant get the vaccination at this time . Can the pentagon reverse this . Should the pentagon reverse this, or is this humane . So i think, you know, i would think that they could reverse it. I would think based on my experience the highly likely the pentagon made the decision unilargely without getting any input from the white house. First of all, were talking about 80 vaccines, so its not 800 or 8,000 or even 8 million. And so far our government has distributed almost 50 million vaccines. Weve administered 25 million. But still, 80 vaccines is 80 vaccines, and how many lives would those vaccines save . And thats where, i think, when youve got a vaccine in short supply, youve got to set priorities. Weve already done that. Weve said that seniors and those with caron ec Health Conditions chronic Health Conditions can get them, and some of them are waitingment it would obviously obviously be the right thing to do to make the detainees go without those. And as you pointed out, this is horrifically bad optics. Youve got 9 11 First Responders who arent getting the vaccine and the guy who masterminded the attack getting one. That doesnt make any sense. Eric you know what in grandmas got to go to gitmo e to go get a vaccine. While were talking about this, dan, breaking news, folks, the pentagon has announced theyre pausing this. This is occurring as we are talking about right now live on the fox news channel. Here is the statement from john kirby, Pentagon Press secretary. Quote No Guantanamo detain knees have been vaccinated detainees have been vaccinated. So breaking news, theyre pausing it for now. Dan of match, your reaction to that. Dan hoffman, your reaction to that. Its good. This is what democracy, this is what its all about in our country. You shine a spotlight on something, and department of defense, to their credit, took a look at this and, apparently, theyve made the right decision. Good on em. Eric good on them. Well follow up on all of this, this decision, this surprise and sudden reversal to give vaccinations to the detainees including the mastermind of 9 11. Yeah, having do it remotely in court like everyone else has been doing it. Dan hoffman, former cia Station Chief in moscow and elsewhere, dan, thank you. Arthel .

Arthel oh, boy, a slow moving went stom will pile up snow from chicago to d. C. , and that is before bringing several inches of snow to New York City. And beyond. Meteorologist adam klotz has the forecast. So, adam, the city of new york as well as the outskirts, tell us the deets. Adam a whole lot of folks are going to be seeing snow. Currently, just a big rainmaker across portions of the plains. Youre seeing heavy rain currently through kansas and lifting up into illinois, but its running into colder air, and it suddenly becomes an ice storm and snowstorm, and we see watches and warnings stretching from iowa across the great lakes, midatlantic including washington, d. C. , philadelphia, new york. How much snow youre going to see, ill tell you in just a moment, but as far as the timing goes, we really see the temperatures drop and this get into some of that colder air overnight tonight, so tonight around chicago and stretching across the great lakes. Sunday, particularly late in the day, this is a slow moving storm, you start to see more of that snow along the east coast. And because its such a slow mover, trout the day on flout the day throughout the day monday into tuesday, thats one of the reasons youre going to see so much snow pile up in the next couple of days. Here are our potential snowfall totals, as much as 10 inches in chicago, running down along the coast, again, maybe 10 inches in the philadelphia area. 7 or so inches in New York City. Maybe a little bit less snow as you head farther north. The snow is not only going to be along the coastal areas. If you live farther inland, were going to see over a foot in places like pennsylvania, inland, upstate new york, so a lot of snow is on the way, arthel. Arthel the snow boots are ready.
