apart. will: we are in the same state though so that's nice. same state, same studio. jedediah, love to have you back. probably hopefully coming back soon we can't wait for that day. jedediah: yes, i absolutely will be and i was going to say, pete, at some point you are going to be up offer the roof i heard. i think that's what's being recommended next for social distancing measures. just saying i heard it through "the grapevine." pete: i would do that i just bought a pair of electric socks with battery power heated electric socks. sick of having my feet be cold. i looked it up and of course it exists and keeps your feet warm for five hours. i can't wait to use them. maybe use them on the roof top. will: sounds dangerous. pete: could probably burn your toes. jedediah: ing are president-elect biden unveils vaccine distribution plan to administer 100 million doses in 100 days. mike pompeo reveals intelligence that says researchers at the wuhan lab caught coronavirus in 2019. lucas tomlinson is demands an investigation. >> president-elect joe biden 100 days in office. >> the plan is as clear as it is bold. get more people vaccinated for free. create more places for them to get vaccinated. mobilize more medical teams to get the shots in people's arms. increase supply and get it out the door as soon as possible. ing this will be one of the most challenging operational efforts ever undertaken by our country but you have my word can and we will manage the hell out of this operation. >> this comes as a team of researchers finally made it to china to investigate where this virus began. secretary of state mike pompeo with harsh criticism quote for more than a year the chinese communist party ccp has systematically prevented a transparent and thorough investigation of the covid-19 pandemic's origin. choosing, instead to devote enormous resources to deceit and disinformation. nearly 2 million people have died. their families deserve to note truth. the ccp's obsession with secrecy and control comes at the expense of public health in china and around the world. some americans have called on china to pay reparations for the damage done to the u.s. and global economy not to mention the horrible death toll, will, jed, pete? pete: lucas, thank you very much. appreciate it. no surprise on the communist chinese and the origins of this. remember when all the people pointed to the lab and the lies early on were called conspiracy thirsts now we know the wet market thing walls a cover for what happened in the lab. whether it escaped accidentally or not we don't know. the fact it was released earlier is being released chinese have never been open or honest about this at all. yesterday as it relates to covid-19 and recovery, joe biden gave a speech. he also gave a speech the day before. 9 speech the day before was about the stimulus checks yesterday was about the vac seep yesterday is when he told us he was going to manage the hell out of covid-19. will came by me in the hospital this morning and said he is going to host of the hell out of this show and i knew he was serious. as a result i'm looking for his commentary this morning and i know it's coming. this is a part of what joe biden talked about with his stimulus plan and what you -- he hopes to see congress do. $1,400 stimulus checks on top of the 600 already passed rounds it out to 2,000. federal minimum wage across the nation. not just for federal workers but every business $15 an hour. 400 billion for fighting covid-19. and then you have got 350 billion for blue states effectively a blue state bailout. moneys going to states cities and others whose balance sheets are out of whack. of the editorial board had this response to whether a he wants to do. this blow out has nothing to do with economic stimulus. nearly all of the money is for income restriction. so, meet the people in genuine need but most to advance long-term democrat social policies and to massage constituencies like teacher's unions and state politicians. so, money to the people, will, but maybe not as targeted as it should be or there is an agenda behind it. will: first, money to the people, that's not new that was negotiated just a few weeks ago when the trump administration passed the first or rather the second covid-19 relief bill. in fact, congressman dan crenshaw pointed that out, this guy has no idea that all of this was just passed into law. stop plagiarizing the last relief bill and tell democrat governors to open the economy. but as you point out, pete, this goes far beyond simply what was passed a few weeks ago by president trump. this goes into what i would call an unemployment trap. a two sided crush on the idea of employment productivity work. think about the disincentives on both sides of this equation, jedediah. on one hand you have a $15 minimum wage further crushing small businesses across this country. you put that on top of the lockdowns and how do you operate a small business that can remain in the black. on the other side, you increase unemployment benefits, disinseptember advising people to go back to work. the point is you have a two sided crush on the idea of productivity employment and work. crushing those who would like to hire, disincentivizing those who would like to work and you have a problem in this country that essentially tells everybody sit at home. no problem. no need for productivity and work. jedediah: yeah. you know, and when you look at it, the bullet points sound really good, right? you read through it really quickly oh you wow he is going to do stuff to help people. sit and analyze this stuff. talking point minimum wage sounds problematic we know the implications of that policy. sound really good oh everybody is going to walk away and more money. everybody want people doing work to get paid justly for that, would. the problem is that businesses have just gone through something they have never gone through before with these lockdowns. they are really in crisis mode in many cases and they are going to have to meet their bottom line somehow. so that's either going to involve firing people if you raise that minimum wage. they are going to have to raise prices. they are going to have to do something or another thing that we don't talk about enough is the transition to technology in many parts where they are just going to say well, we can either hire someone at this price, which is problematic for us or we can have a machine do the work and have people just pull up, for example, in a drive-thru and enter their information on a computer what they want to order. things like that. government bureaucrats always forget that the government is different. they have the advantage of collecting a ton of tax money from people and they also don't have to meet a bottom line. they can go into the red and they do plenty. businesses cannot afford that reality. so i think it's important when you look at this breakdown from the biden camp that you don't get starry eyed like we are in z wizard of oz it everything sounds great. businesses and poor people around the country. steve hilton host of the next revolution talked about biden's new covid relief proposal afternoon he certainly has strong prosecute on it. take a listen. >> the insanity of trying to impose these kind of policies across a vast continent like america it's not just illiterate have one pay policy for the whole country. actually anti-american opposite for everything the founders intended for decentralizing power. that's the first thing. that also applies to many other aspects of this package that biden has put forward which includes a whole host of unrelated expansions of the federal government that are going to be permanent. have nothing to do with the virus. it's just sneaking in all the things they have been wanting to do for a long time. jedediah: yeah, another important point, obviously which we saw with obamacare is once you expand certain areas of the federal government, it's very hard to walk them back. you often never walk them back. so i think when you have -- you are going to have a big government president now. you are going to have a congress that is geared toward big government policies. republicans better at least step up and have these important conversations about what it would mean to roll back some of these programs and if in any way that would be possible. i'm not just speaking about this. i'm speaking about any big government policy that gets brought to the table and gets pushed assertively by a democratic congress and president. pete: blue state bailout is the pay back to blue state governors. i dropped my pen, i dropped a mountain dew yesterday. i get very excited about this. getting a bailout from washington, d.c. i like your analogy of the two sided crush. i haven't had a two sided crush since high school when i ha crush on both mindy and amy and i didn't know what to do about it. will: i imagine you struck out with both. pete: , naturally. you are exactly right. and both sides you are crushing businesses and the big myth here is all the speeches joe biden want to give if you don't let people open up, you will create a dependency culture that you can't get out from underneath. will: absolutely. with so much information fired at us on a daily basis, some news stories coming at us through our televisions and news feeds. hard to know where to stand right thing to think. how to process everything. i would submit that a pretty good hack on where to stand on most issues in life is to find out where charles barkley is. he is usually right. and in fact if the popular consensus is over here and charles barkley is on the other side of the issue, nine times out of 10 side with barkley over the popular consensus. last night on nba's tnt inside the nba show charles found himful? that one out of 10 scenario where he happened to be wrong and everybody else was right when it comes to vaccine distribution. listen to this. >> we need 300 million shots giving 1,000 to some nba players. >> what about nfl. >> nfl. i was getting ready to say nfl players. hockey players. listen, as much taxes as these players pay, let me repeat that, as much taxes as these players pay, they deserve some preferential treatment. >> for life and death? >> yes. will the amount of money you make no, no, i said taxes not the amount of money you make. >> that's taxes. >> the amount of taxes these guys pay. will: look, charles is purely authentic, independent, thinks for himself. and i love him for it. he is just not always right. and i would tell him that to his face. this time charles is wrong on how we should distribute this vaccine. jedediah: that's a bonkers thing to say. i hate to say it any other way he is entitled to his opinion. obviously vulnerable communities, senior citizens, frontline workers let's get them vaccinated first. i think i'm still in a little bit shock, will, from that segment. pete: i'm sort of oddly tempted to want to agree with him because of the source, right? if i heard someone else say it i would be like huh-uh. charles barkley he is on to something. will: maybe he is on to something. pete: i thought really hard about it and i still don't know what he is on. to say i kind of get it but these guys are also by the way young athletes that are going to be fine. will: he is wrong this time. jedediah: in large part, yes. pete: i'm still figuring it out. jedediah: i'm going to turn to headlines now beginning with fox news alert. a officer is hospital lived after a standoff. the officer exchanged gunfire with a suspect at a california apartment complex. the suspect died in the shooting. a second suspect was arrested after an hour's long manhunt. the officer's condition is unknown at this time. it's unclear what led up to the shooting. and nearly 5,000 boxes of ice cream are possibly contaminated with covid-19 at a chinese factory. authorities reportedly seizing about half of the infected batch after three samples tested positive for the virus. the rest had gone out for sale. customers are told to contact the health department. all of the company's 1600 employees are in quarantine. and the mega millions jackpot growing to $850 million. wow. after no winners in last night's drawing. the jackpot is now the second largest in mega millions history point 1. be $5 billion prize in 2018. the next drawing is on tuesday. 640-million-dollar powerball jackpot is up for grabs as well. that drawing is tonight. and those are your headlines. i will now be buying tickets to all those powerballs and one of us has to win, right, guys? will: i don't know about one of us. somebody has to win. i don't know about one of us. pete: i bought a couple of them yelled for my wife. we will see. don't buy that ice cream from china it might have the virus in it. whoa, who saw that story coming?

>> yeah. let's do shoe other foot for this saturday morning not gates florida. let's say he said touring the trump administration we need to establish a commission to look at misinformation in the media all those people screaming about free speech and the first amendment over the last four years i have a feeling that abc, cbs, nbc, and particularly cnn and its media team probably would be covering this 24/7. let's look at this proposal here guys for a second rein in media. a truth commission. the government regulating speech, that belongs in china or it north carolina, not north carolina, north korea or perhaps in the pages of 1984. and, look, let's say, for instance, charles barkley who you were just talking about sir charles, we all love him as you said very authentic. does the truth commission come after him pause he's wrong in terms of his opinion?

do you give president trump any credit for that? this is precode, obviously she said well the only reason why we have low unemployment is because everybody is working two jobs which at last check is not how unemployment works. would she then call herself before her own committee?

>> absolutely notna. is absurd and ludicrous, what we need to concentrate on is getting teachers it vaccinated. i recently had a mediation with a judge and he said it perfectly. evidence said it has not risen to this moment. he was absolutely right. this conversation is a bit of none seq. tour because we cannot wait until this vac screen is approved for children. we there is no data or tests done yet for parents to feel secure enough to obviously permit this vaccine to be given to their children. and number two it is completely ennis the data and science shows this vaccine is not something like the mmr vaccine where measles and mumps are an issue. diseases that have high rates of infection and mortality rate is incorporate prable to the covid-19. it's unnecessary to in and that children who are not as susceptible to the virus. children who did contract the virus they have very limited systems or none at all. teachers are vaccinated the problem is solved. i represent children with special needs. i have been in the trench since march. what i am seeing is atrocious. the system has failed our children and i can tell you that the death being caused by the closure and keeping them at home as opposed to the detriment from the virus is causing is incomparable and unless something is done very soon many of our kids are going to be lost especially children with special needs. there is no reason whether a sorry. will: that's an important point with you are making. we know the cost of children, forced to stay at home. children avoiding or not being able to take part n person learning being around other it students. on the other hand it's being painted as anti-vaccination or anti-vaccination if you have questions about a vaccine not children. parents are forced to have their children take a vaccine they know little about the affect on kids meanwhile we do know the effect of not being able to participate in normal learning. >> absolutely. let's differentiate clearly, i have been on the autism speaks directors for years i'm a huge proponent for vaccines. i have always advocated for them. vaccines don't cause autism. this situation is very different. this is a vaccine that was rushed and was developed in record time and rushed to market under extreme political pressure. so there is absolutely no reason to fault parents for having doubts about it. and not being sure about giving kids the vaccine and yet almost being extorted and told children can't go to school unless have you vaccinate. unnecessary because the science shows don't need this vaccine to return to school. it is unfair to call parents anti-vaxers. vaccines take years and trials and sampling to make sure they're accurate and have efficacy and they are safe. i have a child with special needs two other children in school. i'm a vaccine proponent. this is very different than the vaccines that kids have been given and they have to take this vaccine to go to school. but that is very different from the current vaccine that we don't know much about. even if one is approved and the data shows that it's safe for children, it shouldn't be mandatory at all because it's not necessary and the science shows it's not necessary. will: exactly we do know the toll and cost of keeping children at home emotionally and education. another hurdle on solving that problem in los angeles. thank you so much for your time this morning, georgiana. >> thank you for having me. will: joe biden unveils relief plan and planning to raise the minimum wage for $15 an hour. what would that mean for businesses. our panel of business owners weighs in next. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

for small business owners coming off of a lockdown? let's talk to some of them. joining me now is kyle noonan owner of free range concepts restaurant management company in texas. laura reid dickey are ceo of dick can i's barbecue and josh is owner of burgers fries and shakes in wisconsin. thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate it. where it sounds great $15 federal minimum wage all 50 states across the board which would be a sweeping change. of what would that mean for businesses especially when we are in a lockdown movement and trying to get out of it. >> well, like many government initiatives, they all sound great, but the problem is i listen to joe biden roll out his plan and he talked for 30 minutes about how we want to create jobs and help small businesses and i was like yeah, that's united states. i love it. then he goes first up we will double the payroll costs. wait a minute, that's counter intuitive. that doesn't work. so obviously, especially in the restaurant business, minimum wage is in certain states and certain cities a part of operating that business. now, i have to confess my company is not a minimum wage employer because the frequent ft dictates if i want great talent i have to pay well above minimum wage. this doesn't really affect me. what it does effect is the small businesses in small town u.s.a., a large company like the walmarts of the world and amazons they can absorb that cost increase. but small businesses just frankly can't because operating a business on madison avenue is vastly different than operating a business in madison, wisconsin. pete: laura, you know, the restaurant business has been hit particularly hard, margins are tight. 25% capacity. whatever capacity your state allows in certain places. what would this do to pulling out of this moment? >> it would be really devastating for the industry. and while i think we share the sentiment of absolutely wanting the best for our hourly employees and front line workers we have 500 restaurants in 46 states. that needs to be situationally managed. there is different costs of living. different competition. as kyle said you pay for great talent. i want to be able to incentivize and make those decisions in partnership with our team members but requiring a mandate of minimum wage would have completely unintended consequences it. reduces the number of hours. it reduces jobs. it reduces opportunity. what if you put this in place and not only can most restaurants not absorb that, but then you have no ability to give raises to help people build careers. to incentivize folks. so it really won't do the best for any of our frontline workers. pete: so well said. josh, how dolls it affect your bottom line? how big of an impact does it have on your balance sheet and decisions you are making as a business? >> yeah. just like the other folks, you know, here in madison, wisconsin. the area. we are market-driven minimum wage. we are above the current federal minimum wage. the proposed one would bring it even higher. that is a scary thing. you know, i think we have been blessed here in mooyah we have a great team behind us. i feel wonderful we can absorb some of those costs. the question that we have is what is this going to do? what are the unintended consequences behind the scenes? what does it too for the price of certified angus beef and cleaning supplies to keep our place safe for people to come in and eat. those are the changes we don't know that we can't expect, so we can't price accordingly. that is going to be unnerving and unsettling going forward. pete: the costs get passed on eventually in some way to either the customers or to businesses whose margins get even tighter. really smart analysis from all of you. kyle noonan, laura reid dickey and josh ferguson. thank you for what you do in providing livelihoods for so many people and understanding the devastating impact it's going to have on businesses like yours. really appreciate all of your time. thank you. >> thanks, pete. pete: jed, over to you. jedediah: thanks, pete. we have many so headlines for you now. the oldest u.s. marine has died

minneapolis. that's above your traditional high for this time of year. buff you see the radar here? most of that energy is now moving on towards the east coast. we have got some rain that's finally exited the mid-atlantic. it's beginning to move past say the start of the northeast and then we will see kind of a rainy snowy day across much of the northeast. rain along the coast. snow across interior sections especially across the higher elevations too warm to get snow across the cities. behind this storm still enough energy that we will see scattered snow showers from time to time. not going to ruin any day but at times could come across if you are driving maybe a quick white out or so. here is the forecast radar. watch what happens over the next couple of hours. we are going to see this storm move past philadelphia, past new york by 5:00 tonight still some precipitation across pars of northern new england and still some snow flying around parts of the western great lakes. all

ahmed. welcome to the show as always. first, let's get your thoughts on biden's five-point plan. it includes opening vaccinations to priority groups. creating more vaccination sites. ramping up private manufacturing getting more help to administer shots, educating americans about vaccinations i think that last point is actually key. but what are your thoughts? >> all of these are great ideas because what we have seen almost a month into the availability vaccine here in no, is a utter failure vaccine state level. there was a major error made it seems our governor had planned to distribute the vaccine through hospitals total departure from the mass vaccination plans we have had in place since 9/11 that are county based. lots of county officials are puzzled why they weren't involved. we had plans to vaccinate at churches fire departments and schools. one of the best points in the biden plan that i like is about public messaging. i have seen zero public messaging on vaccination anywhere really. a commercial. >> yet we spent half a billion dollars on one race in one state in this country. so i think there does need to be a marv education program. these are great ideas. it will be refreshing. jedediah: i think a lot of people have concerns about the vaccine because they don't know a lot about it. so i think educating people will make a lot more individuals inclined to actually go get that vaccine. >> that's right. that is a. jedediah: talk to you about lockdowns implication of this in an effort to address the contagious nature of this virus is obviously you have seen a lot of cities go on lock down, a lot of businesses shut down, there is a will new study that is actually saying hold on a second, these lockdowns aren't proving to be any more valuable than some of these other voluntary measures. here is a quote from that study by stanford researchers we do not question the role of all public health interventions of coordinated communications about the epidemic. we fail to find an additional benefit of stay at home orders and business closures. the data cannot fully exclude the possibility of some benefits. however, even if they exist these benefits may not match the numerous harm of these aggressive will measures. your thoughts as we think about what we have seen emerge in this country in the way of lockdowns? >> that's very refreshing and in fact that's not the only data that is pointing to these findings. they looked at countries like the united states france germany britain which have had extremely stringent lockdowns either nationwide or in major parts of our country as in here. and they are not finding any benefit in reducing the rate of spread compared to countries with less punitive restrictions like sweden and south korea. we see that people actually when they know about the risk modify their behavior before you crush all businesses and all activities nationwide. in fact, there is other data from u penn and harvard that locking down may help feed infections inside households and propagate household transmission. that escalates. household transmission interest responsible for 77% of cases from data in our state. other thing very important jed, i saw one of your colleagues speaking to the l.a. speaking about the loss of schooling. the loss of schooling actually shortens our children's lives. if we have a child that is dropping out from high school and skipping high school for three days a week, very likely with this radio moat learning which is difficult, it's not conducive for children, it shortens lifespan in high school children by 9 years. so, these are very real problems without providing true benefit. sweden and south korea have kept their schools open throughout. jedediah: the data needs to support it especially if these measures are going to be pretty severe. thank you doctor qhanta ahmed we appreciate you joining us today. >> thank you. jedediah: please send us your covid-19 questions. we will

capitol with more on the security efforts. lucas? >> good morning, guys and will. the park service has closed the national mall limiting any protests no more than 100 people in a few designated areas. as you mentioned this the is national guard says up to 25,000 troops will now be protecting the nation's capitol during the inauguration. now the soldiers guarding with the secret service is calling the green zone around of the capitol do not have magazines in their weapons. i did not see that the beefed up rehearsal for the inauguration scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed. the d.c.'s police chief says all the city's 1300 cops will be on the beat patrolling the streets. some are warning be domestic terrorists could hit soft targets state capitols and other federal buildings. >> i think we need to be very careful and not take our eyes off the ball. simply meaning, we, washington is tighter than fort knox. you can get into for the knox faster than you can get into washington under the circumstances of the inauguration but these groups are going to be out there january 0th and we need to be mindful of that. >> there are 28,000 american troops in south korea guarding against an invasion and a war that technically has never ended. pete, jed, will? jedediah: thanks, lucas. you know, seeing those images, it can be a little scary, you look at that and say i wish it didn't have to be that way but you saw the striking lack of preparation last time particularly when the capitol where riots happened. you want to send a message out there to anyone seeking to cause trouble that it's not going to be easy to do and maybe you should just reconsider. grateful for all of these individuals that are going to be protecting us not only in washington but around the country. the this is where we are at in this country and i think that message needs to be sent. pete: there is no doubt it has a deterring effect. you have 25,000 troops and anyone thinking about doing something is going to reconsider it. and we have heard of groups that were going to rally there have effective live said we are out for inauguration day. we are not going attend. but i can say having been to a green zone in baghdad, a green zone in kabul, 25,000 is beyond excessive. it's a massive cya will will exercise. no department in 'that department or city wants to be caught unprepared the way the capitol police were on that particular day. so, more troops than can be managed, frankly, that can be housed and fed are now in our nation's capitol. and i think you can imagine other scenarios where a lot of people would be saying wow, this is really excessive considering the threat level. but, you know, if we can -- we want everyone to be safe and peaceful. we will see what happens. i will with will you draw on your personal experience there obviously you have personal experience in a green zone. it's unique and important to hear that experience you bring. i would love to offer a little bit of my own on this next story. when i was 25 i started my first of several small businesses. i wasn't any titan of industry. i'm talking about humble businesses under 10 employees. what i know from that is it's blood, sweat, and tears. it's risk, and it's stress. can i make my payments on a month-to-month basis. in short, i can only imagine what small bills owners have been through through this past year with lockdowns. it has to be an absolute fight for survival on a day-to-day basis to make those monthly payments. and then this. joe biden has proposed in his new covid-19 relief bill to increase federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. imagine the effect that will have on those humble struggling to survive small businesses already almost a year's worth of lockdowns. here is one study that reveals this particular measure raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour could cost 1.3 million jobs. on one hand, pete, you go just another blow to small businesses. on the other you might say those are already people who aren't able to work any way because their places of employment have been shut down. pete: i love your personal example it's smaller businesses like the ones you started and others today that can't survive that kind of payroll hike. mandated by the government. how how can the world washington, d.c. decide what wages should look like in south dakota versus colorado vs. downtown mid-atlantic you can't do manhattan and no some predicated on state and local elected officials make these kinds of decisions and frankly the free market is supposed to make these decisions. earlier on the program as we often do, let's talk to people really affected by. this we talk to business owners in the restaurant business and ask them what a $15 mandated federal minimum wage would do to their business. here's what they said. >> like many government initiatives, they all sound great. but the problem is first step we are going to double the payroll costs. i went wait a minute, that's counter intuitive. that doesn't work. >> it would be really devastating for the industry requiring a mandated minimum wage would have completely unintended consequences. it reduces the number of hours. it roofs jobs. it reduces opportunity. >> we are above the current federal minimum wage. but proposed one would bring it even higher and that is a scary thing. what is this going to do? what are the unintended consequences behind the scenes? pete: jed, that study we showed 1.3 million jobs lost was from july of 2019 before covid-19 and these businesses were locked down. you are trying to come out of a lockdown, reopen your business, now you are told to double your payroll costs? how can that work? jedediah: yeah. and just reflects the profound lack of understanding by a lot of politicians of the implications of these policies. you know, one common theme that i keep thinking about through this whole year is just business owners shouting from roof tops to be heard. they just want to be heard whether it's the implication of the lockdowns, whether it's them saying listen, we are prepared, you know, we know it's covid-19. we take this seriously. we want to protect our customers. we have practices in place, let us open. now you have them on the heels of that having to deal with a conversation about hiking the minimum wage and having to really explain. these are regular people. you know, they are out there and trying to make a living and they are having to explain to politicians how this stuff works. just saying hey, listen, let me give you a little bit of a lesson on what happens. it sounds good. $15 minimum wage. we can't afford to do that and here is why. i think it really represents the divide in this country between bureaucrats and just regular people out there who feel so disconnected from politicians and their policies so many times. and we have seen that throughout the entire year. on that note, we know that we have been following the actions of a lot of politicians particularly with respect to covid and a lot of the do as i say, not as i do. we saw it with cuomo. we saw it with gavin newsom. well, will magazine thought we needed a little bit of a chuckle they created a parody music video mocking the hypocritical democratic lawmakers in particular. it's worth everyone's time take a peek. >> voters come in and caught me red handed eating at the place next door. >> were there it a lot of people there. >> picture this not that many like 100 piece or more. >> how can i forget that i had in a gathering. >> just a prime example of a really big hypocrisy ♪ sir we saw you at a party. >> it wasn't me. >> eating at the french laundry. >> it wasn't me. >> you even had the clam chowder. >> it wasn't me. >> sir, we got you on camera. >> it wasn't me. >> you said we can't be super spreading. >> it wasn't me ♪ so i missed my brother's wedding ♪ it wasn't me. >> i have a wedding ♪ this is getting upsetting. jedediah: will obviously this was serious at the time. everyone was saying we recognize the severity of the implications of this hypocrisy, obviously. but you also have to laugh at these individuals. you have to really use humor in times like this which we all need. a tough year for a lot of people. we need to utilize humor to point that hypocrisy out and just say you know what we know what you are about. we know that this was not, you know, about policy really. this was about you making up a separate set of rules for yourself and the rest of the country we know what was behind it. we get it and we are laughing at you. this is really an effort to laugh at those politicians not with them and in this case i fully endorse it. will: clearly laughing at them. humor and outrage might be two sides of the same coin. but to your point jedediah, make no mistake. it's absolutely the derly outrageous what politicians have perpetrated on the american people over the past nine months. in is, i mean, among the worse hypocrisies i can imagine in the history of this country. pete: yeah. mock them. they deserve to be mocked. that's what that video is. the extent to which -- it's thought even hypocrisy anymore. it's not. they believe there is another standard. double standards is the way that they particularly live. how can i forget that i banned indoor gatherings is one of those lyrics and ultimately the last line i love the most. this is getting a little bit of upsetting it. doesn't appear that my leaders represent me at all or care at all about the impacts of the policies they ignore completely which is why videos like this resonate. will: stay home. sacrifice your mental health. sacrifice your small business. sacrifice economic ability. sacrifice your children's are ability. stay home while i travel to mexico or the french laundry. yes, mock them. and then boot them out, pete. pete: then boot them out if you can pete teeth there is really no it good transition. headline in politico caught our eye democrats ready immigration push for biden's early days. now, here is a reminder of what joe biden has talked about when it comes to immigration. listen. >> i will send an immigration bill to the united states senate with a pathway for undocumented some will get mad at me for this. but nobody is going to be deported of in my first 100 days. >>

is it straight up donations they have the same world view they wink and nod or is there an institutional way that it happened? >> of course that's true with you that wouldn't be enough to create a legal argument, that's classic crony capitalism. here there is a unique legal argument the carrot section 230 liability protection specifically for these technology platforms which said that if you censor your users, they still can't sue you in state court. that's the carrot. but they combined that with the stick where liberal lawmakers explicitly all of last year threatened these companies and said that if you don't remove that hateful speech, then we are going to come after you, we will be swift and break up these companies. and that carrot, when combined with that stick, there is good supreme court precedent on, this creates state action. and that -- all that says is that these companies ought to be measured against the standard of the first amendment just like the state. that doesn't mean all violent content or anything else is permissible under the first amendment but it does mean these companies are bound by the first amendment. jedediah: vivek, that's what i'm trying to reconcile here how to protect freedom of speech in these outlets whether we are talking about twitter or parler and reconcile that third party companies are saying listen we don't want to be associated with -- i'm using parler in this instance because that was what was in the room front and center. we don't want to be associated with them right now because they are nod moderating comments that call for outright violence. so you want to protect the rights of these private companies but you also want to protect the freedom of speech rights of individuals on these platforms. that's what i am having trouble with right now. >> i agree with you i'm sympathetic to that the first amendment is well trodden ground though. actual incrimes to violence or obscenity are not protected speech. but classical political speech, making a political statement, even a political statement that proves to be wrong is protected speech. and what we are seeing right now, let's put aside the incrime to violence. put aside the insen at this. we are seeing a soviet style ideological purge exactly the kind the content the first amendment was designed to protect. put aside conservatives. ron paul, he is one of the guys i admire. is he a libertarian candidate for the president of the united states, he had a face book account locked. there is nothing about incitement to violence that he said to my knowledge. this intigger than just that. will: unless we think this is just about tamping down incitement to violence these things are happening on facebook and 'twitter. it's parler. principle they are withholding. vivek ramaswamy, thank you for your perspective this morning. >> thank you. will: atilis gym has been battling the state for it for months. arrested and fined. now the owners are saying they have had their bank accounts drained. those gym owners join us live next ♪ i need you right now ♪ ♪ jedediah: it is time now for news by the numbers. first 432,000. that's how many acres of farmland bill gates owns. he now owns more private farmland than anyone else in the united states with acres reportedly stretching across 18 states. and next more than $57,000. that's how much someone is bidding on a $0 bill with a del monte sticker on it. the auction houses the sticker got on the bill touring the printing process which you can tell by the treasury seal over it. and finally 72 hours. that's how long you would have to unplug to win the refresh challenge. travel site trips to discover offering three nights at secluded air bnb stay away from screens for the entire trip and you will win a $200 cash pony news. sounds like a plan for me. i would be on poured for that, pete. pete: i agree. sounds great. a new development in the ongoing battle between the state of new jersey and atilis gym. the gym owners claim the state seized their legal defense fund to the tune of more than $100,000. in fact, $173,000 seized out of their bank account. atilis gym co-owners ian smith and frank join us now. ian and frank, thank you so much for being here. we have been tracking your story from the beginning. >> thanks for having me. pete: you have insisted as free people you should be allowed to run your business and respect your customers which you have done. yet, the state at every turn has blocked you, including taking your doors off the hinges. now you are living in your gym. they have taken your money legal defense fund. what is the rationale for that, frank? >> they are saying that they can do whatever they want, basically. they actually fines with us. and we are in the appeals process. and we woke up on a wednesday morning and our bank accounts were empty. and to top it off, actually, the attorney general of new jersey is trying to say that they did not actually seize our funds and we have given access to our bank account and it specifically says it's an execution by the state of new jersey. pete: they are saying they haven't seized your funds yet we have a statement from the attorney general's office, here is a portion of it. they say this information is not accurate. the state has not seized their bank account funds. however, the state has obtained judgments against the owners and intends to collect on them. the total due and owing is a result of court entered judgments to date is $134,000. whether that effects the expire balance of the gym's funds is a question to ask the bank. so they are saying that is money you owe and some bureaucratic speak for other reasons, yet you have ongoing litigation and they -- this money is meant for that yet they seize it. ian, how do you fight back against this? >> will 8 or 9 months frank and i have been in this fight take punches roll on with them and move onto the next thing. as much as this is a gross violation of our right to counsel, it's a clear interference with that. we just keep moving. we immediately put in a call to help to our many amazing supporters both locally and around the country to help. and we have received that help. we have over 1,000 t-shirt orders to get packed up over the next couple days and get those out and we are going to continue to raise funds and from now on we will be operating with a crypto wallet and the state won't be touching that money. there is absolutely nothing that will take us out of this fight. pete: you are going cash, you are going crypto and saying hey, ultimately we need this money to survive for the ongoing legal battle. frank, what's the legal battle? what are you hoping you can get back from the state that has taken so much from you? >> i mean, all we want is actually all of our rights back. we'll want to take the powers away from these governors and these executive orders aren't laws. they're mandatory requests. and they have overreached on everything they have done. i mean, we want to actually make these governors in every state responsible for what they are responsible for and be made -- held accountable. we have had 10 8,000 people come through the door. in fact 10880 as of last night not a single outbreak. outbreaks in long term care facilities 14,000 active covid positive cases that are linked directly to the long-term care facility. so, who is the number head here. of the 9 million people that are trying to live their life or the actual few tie havranek call leaders that actually tell us what to do and they don't follow their own rules. pete: you answered my last question. i always ask anymore people have gone through your doors without an infection and here we are at 108,000. amazing what you guys have done to respect your customers. ian, i'm going to -- send me -- text me your address for that crypto account i will send you some money over bit coin today. why not?

>> it's absolutely outrageous. when you think about it. look what else they have done here in new york. the mayoral and the city council put $1 billion nypd after this. you saw democrat elected officials actually raising money for a fund to bail out rioters and looters after they were arrested. now seeing more insult to injury literally. we had hundreds of police officers who ended up in the hospital because they were injured by those very rioters. and now we're seeing our attorney general going after them including the chief of police who was injured himself at the foot of the brook lynn bridge. so, you know, this is the backwards mentality that we're seeing from the left. this is the double standard that we're seeing from the left. and i think a lot of people here in my community are very upset the way that our nypd is being mistreated by it local government officials, state government officials and now the attorney general. are. jedediah: seems like an opportunity for the a.g. to hold people accountable for inflicting violence on that community. interesting choice of words by her. thank you congresswoman. >> appreciate it. thanks. jedediah: we are heading over to rick reichmuth who i hear has weather for us. rick: are yeah, jedediah. big storm yesterday across part of the northern plains. really windy conditions. that storm is weakening ally with the as it pulls off towards the east. but now it's bringing rain. brought rain overnight. across parts of the mid-atlantic. that's winding down. see some snow back behind it. this morning we have some really heavy rain, in fact some thunder going on across parts of massachusetts, so a lot of moisture. you don't see that too often in january. rain on the southern side of this. snow across far interior sections and across areas with some elevation. there is some maybe 6 to 12-inch snowfall totals good news for some of the ski resorts who could use that moisture. behind this we will see a series of disturbances continue to come through. won't be as strong but throughout the day today. maybe a quick band of snow cause white whiteout conditions across the roads won't add much in the way of accumulation. show you a couple of the stories we are watching. one of them across the southwest. record breaking high temperatures are with us a couple more days before a lot of wind moves. in excuse me, and finally by tuesday into wednesday, a little bit of colder air begins to move in across parts of the far northern plains. all right. jedediah send it back to you. of rick. will: all right, rick. i think i will take it from here. i got it jedediah?

is. >> good morning. well, this petition is not about president trump. it's about branding his 75 million supporters as white supremacist who support the horrendous type of violence we saw at the capitol. this is about ensuring that anybody who supports conservative values does not have access to jobs, does not have access to social media platforms and does not have access now to their own college degrees that they paid for and earned. president trump did not go to harvard. he is going to be out of office in just a few days. and so this is -- the story is really coming full circle because it is ironically on these college campuses, these elite institutions where students are learning this cancel culture behavior and now they want to turn around and rip away college degrees from americans who earned it simply because they disagree with their political views? it is very frightening. i would tell you to write it off as the complete nonsense that it is. but we saw just last week harvard revoked congresswoman elise stefanik's ability to serve on the harvard institute for politics. so cancel culture on college campuses is alive and well. will: it's tempting to dismiss this stuff as the fringe lunatic's voice but that fringe lunatic's voice is increasingly becoming mainstream. take a look what he the petition says no secret harvard graduates worked hard to recall 'to your point, this isn't just about president trump. it's also not about those who necessarily objected to the certification of elections either. your point that it's bigger that it goes to actually the conservative mindset and conservative people out there who are the targets of silencing, i think is bolstered by dan crenshaw's name being on the list. he didn't satisfy any of those requirements. he didn't object to the certification of the election. >> absolutely. the fact that congressman dan crenshaw was specifically named in the petition is quite frankly insulting. this is a -- one of our war heroes who lost his eye fighting for our country defending our values, defending our ability to have free speech. and then harvard students and graduates turn around and launch a petition to take away his college degree, not because he challenged the electoral college as you pointed out. he didn't even do that. this is clearly a larger effort to target conservatives, remove their credentials so they can -- they don't have an ability to hold these powerful positions and have influence over our country. i mean, this is coming from the same school that houses a scholar who wants home schooling to be illegal. the cancel culture is very dangerous. i really think it is far past time for president-elect joe biden to step up and put a stop to this that is happening. if he really cares about uniting the country he has to stop this behavior that is ripping our country apart. pete: that's right. harvard university started as the theology seminary now it creates marxists. wonderful. kelsey bar larr, thank you for your time. thank you so much. >> thank you. pete: fans returning to the stands in florida as the nhl allows the panthers to open for home games. how they are making it happen. how they are doing it coming up next. ♪ ♪ it's time for the lowest prices of the season on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring?

will: thanks so much, lucas. this next story is not one that should be relegated to a footnote in history. not a headline we can simply waive our hand at. one of the biggest miss appropriation of government policies in our lifetime. listen to this. according to this fox news headline and this study mandatory lockdowns may not be any better at controlling covid-19 than less restrictive measures study finds after 19 month of crushing our economy and small businesses it turns out maybe that wasn't the best way to fight covid-19, jed. jedediah: yeah, i think when you look at outdoor dining closures in particular and then preventing school reopenings, those were the two points that really left me scratching my head where i think people really started to ask questions. then there is also the obvious reality that if you prevent people from going to businesses, from going to restaurants, they are going to gather in their own homes. they are going to invite people. a desperation. people can't sit alone in one room by themselves in perpetuity what wound up happening is that you gathered in your own home and those were actually turning into the real super spreader event. not these businesses that were opening safely and saying we are going to operate at this capacity. we going to have people come in and out with this regulator. we have it under control. the great irony of it all the ended up taking lockdowns in a place of desperation wound up spreading the virus more. we spoke to dr. qhanta ahmed a pulmonologist this morning she talked about the implications of the lockdowns and how she feels they have basically played out in terms of benefit and cost. >> countries like the united states france, germany, britain which have had extremely stringent lockdowns either nationwide or in major parts of our country as in here. they are not finding any benefit in reducing the rate of spread compared to countries with less punitive restrictions like sweden and south korea. we see that people actually when they know about the risk modify their behavior before you crush all businesses and all activity nationwide. in fact, there is other data from u penn and from harvard which shows that locking down may actually help feed infections inside households and propagate household transmission. jedediah: yeah, now imagine you are the owner of a business that had to shut down and may not reopen and now you are listening to that and you are saying, you know, all i ask is that you follow the science. business owners want more than anything to protect their customers. if they wound up having a business and customers were coming in and out and getting sick constantly, they would no longer have a business. that would be the consequence of that action. those business owners had a true investment in keeping people safe. more than any politician or bureaucrat would. it's just really sad to watch how this has all unfolded. pete: don't worry grandpa joe is going to manage the hell out of it by inducing more mask mandates, more shutdowns, mock lock jowns more scientists telling you what you need to do with your life from washington, d.c. opposed which many have been saying from the beginning to applying personal responsibility and common sense to personal conduct and your own risk threshold so that you make decisions as a free citizen for yourself, for your family, for vulnerable people and not allow politicians to use arbitrary justifications to crush your life. arbitrary justifications that change your life like you can go to walmart but you can't wait socially distanced in a line and vote in person so let's change our entire voting scheme and make it all mail out balloting with no excuse. every rationale has been used to change every aspect of our lives because of bureaucrats and democrats and joe biden is only going to make it worse. there is one more nugget a preview of this kind of insanity. my 10-year-old son is in a basketball league in minnesota. governor walls a democrat is saying while you play basketball, you have to wear a mask. will: really? pete: in the game, in practice in the game. is he a point guard running up and down the court. they did make an exception though in their ultimate wisdom for swimming. you don't have to ware a maverick while swimming so you don't have to waterboard yourself while you are swimming down the lane but you have to wear -- it's insanity. how many 10-year-old are going to grab the mask and grab the ball and pass over here. it makes no sense, he can't breathe while he is playing basketball and that's what experts tell us we should be doing. experts are also trying to disperse funds from washington, d.c. joe biden has talked a lot about that as well. and as always, that is usually utterly inefficient. barstool sports is doing it a different way with a fund that's raised up to $26 million to this point. they have a new donor who is speaking truth this morning. i usually find ways not to be fans of the packers there it is 26 million bucks for the barstool fund for small businesses but aaron rogers is turning me no a fan somehow. here he is talking about his donation and politicians who don't follow their own rules. >> what dave and his folks are doing with the barstool fund is life changing money. it is sustainability for these people. it's just not having a reliance on the government to help you out because obviously it's shown that's not going to be the way they are going to do it. they are not even follow their own rules. how many people have gotten caught. don't travel, don't leave the state oh here is so and so on a vacation. don't -- here is so and so at a salon. don't eat out at a restaurant unless you are wearing a of course that and separate oh, here is a picture of the governor of california violating those rules. will: are i'm with you, pete, i don't have many reasons or don't look for reasons to root for aaron rogers he has ripped my heart out as a dallas cowboys fans. he is absolutely right. what it illustrates by the way is that hypocrisy and that ineptitude of government helping people out is reaching everyone across the political spectrum it is showing people out there even those who are not particularly political how ridiculous everything has gotten, jedediah. jedediah: yeah, it's really simple. government is not always the answer. sometimes they are a part of the problem. take an existing problem and make it worse or elon gate it. and as you said before, pete, the relate is in these times appeared in others, you have to rely on personal responsibility. you have to rely on other people. you have to be able to have some confidence in business owners and in other people. i think that's what's been really disappointing to this whole process. i feel like there is a distrust, you know, that comes from government toward people, that comes from people to each other. there is an odd trust sometimes that some people have in government sometimes as this government is going to come in and fix everything. and i hope that it opens some eyes throughout this process that that is not exactly how it all goes down. maybe we need to reevaluate the way we view government and the role had has played throughout history what with it has done wrong and what it has done right. regardless, we are going to move on to another topic. we are talking a lot about free speech these days. there is a big interview that is set to air on "fox news sunday" tomorrow with tim cooke the apple ceo and in that interview one of the things he does is defend his decision to remove parler from its app. store. take a listen. sneak peek. >> how did you decide to balance free speech with objectionable content? >> we looked at the incrime to violence that was on there -- we have only reincident ised them if they get their moderation together they would be back on there. chris: isn't big tech restricting speech? >> we have an app. store that has about 2 million apps in it and we have terms of service for these apps. we have rules and regulations and we just ask that people abide by those. jedediah: yeah, once again catch this full interview with chris wallace tomorrow and hear more of what he had to say on that. i think the problem here, again, is, you know, i looked at some of the content that was on parler reemerged. people were taking screen shots particularly after parler had said we are going to come out and sue amazon. a lot of the screen shots. some of them were problematic. i mean, you can't call for violence against amazon -- you can't say amazon trucks should be blown up and look like you are inciting violence. that need to be taken seriously and if you are violating your own terms of service that is a problem. i think the issue people are having here is they are saying okay, if this is your problem, if 'you have a legitimate gripe with companies not following their own terms of service and nod adequately moderating these site why is it only come out for parler when we know it has appeared on facebook and twitter why are you targeting one company and not the others? that is a legitimate gripe. pete: that's right if you want to play the screen shot game go to facebook and twitter and instagram and screen shot all day long violent things or things people have said that would be in violation of the content rules. yet, in this point it looked like collusion to me, will. all these bigger tech companies saying hey, parler, you don't have a seat at the table because you mentioned me i don't know if it was on here or of the break it all blends together for me. talk to a tech guy that said when you grow that fast as parler did you can't keep up. will: i have a tech friend who says in the tech many people are talking about when you are early stage and hyper growth the way that parler was, you simply don't have the ability to keep up with moderation of every single thing being posted. the more important point is it's about ideology, because as both of you have pointed out you can find those same violations of terms of service and moderation on twitter, youtube, or any other social media platform. this was about ideology. the that's why parler got disbanned or banned. disbarred, whatever. deplatformed. pete: any one of those. will: keep coming up with more words. jedediah: all right. we're going to turn to some more headlines now in this hour. we're going to begin with a fox news alert. an officer is hospitalized after being shot in an overnight standoff. police say the cop exchanged gunfire with the suspect at a california apartment complex. the suspect died in the shooting. the officer's condition is unknown at this time. a second suspect was arrested after an hour's long manhunt. it is unclear what led up to the shooting. and health and human services secretary alex azar ripped cnn after the network reported that he resigned in response to the capitol hill riot. azar tweeting contrary to the cnn kyron i am still here serving the american people at hhs. i believe it is my duty to help ensure a smooth transition to president-elect biden's team during the pandemic and will remain as secretary through january 20th. in a separate tweet azar confirmed received a letter of resignation but only as a part of the routine administration. girl scouts adorable sales pitch to a neighbor's doorbell camera proves to be the best way to sell cookies. take look at. >> this hello i'm alli would you lining to buy some girl scout cookie unless would you like one or two or three or four or five?

>> well, shockingly, our schools are less and less about teaching children math and it reading test scores coming out. up stead pushing communist ideology propaganda. in critical race theory everyone is divided into two groups. there are the oppressors, those who are power and the oppressed those who perceive to have no power. the ultimate oppressors according to them are white, straight, christian, conservative males. and what they do is they weaponize people against each other so that they can control us and really destroy authority including parental authority. this is child abuse. it's abuse of everyone, really. and it's a lie. they are claiming that in america our institutions are inherently racist. and that we always have to be suspect ever western white men and christian. this is frightening and america needs to start fighting this. don't be politically correct. fight it. it's really frightening. jed yesterday yeah. you know, rebecca i have worked with kids of all ages. i haven't taught third graders i have taught seventh grade. i'm thinking about are kidsry have tutored. the mind of a third grader trying to process and the conclusions they may that you and how uncomfortable it may be for their minds at that stage of development. i want to ask you though we asked a school board president for a statement. this is the statement that they gave to announce. the incident that you are referring to hand late last year the district had received several parent complaints and followed up with an investigation after the investigation we believe that the material that was presented in the class was inappropriate. now, the one ray of light here is it reminds parents that they do have a voice. if they are attuned to what is going on in these classrooms and they make those phone calls, things can change, right? >> well, that is very true. parents of teachers, communities, must stand up together. you know, people are afraid for a really long time or they just didn't pay attention. we must stand up and fight against this. we also have beware of several things. when i read that the statement you just read from the superintendent or principle, whoever it was, i was really uncomfortable with that because, you know, i taught for 28 years and i did teach third graders. and you know they are constantly nowadays claiming that they are doing some sort of an investigation. that's because they want to call off the dogs. they want parents and teachers to quit complaining and they want the communities to feel oh, everything is safe. that's a lie. because it's the teacher's union who have been infiltrated by communists, communist propaganda, pushing these things. and these problems are never going away. i noticed in the statement that they never said that they fired the teacher. that teacher should have been fired. they said something about it was oh it was total double talk. something about oh, this wasn't part of our curriculum. it was part of a certified teacher. they will keep bringing this back. we have to fight it. we have to push against it. jedediah: yeah. i think in these times with covid and the distance learning, parents are attuned to curriculum more than they ever have been because they are home in many cases and they are looking at what their kids are learning. so, you know, final question. we don't have a lot of time. do you think that the face of education is really changing forever as stories like this come to the surface now perhaps more than ever given the times that we are in. >> i hope. so i hope we are going to go back to what we were before. we had a classical liberal arts education that was the best in the world. and i mention that we were infiltrated our schools were infiltrated our teacher associations were infiltrated by communists. and we have to fight against this because we could get back to being the greatest schools in the world. we could get back to teaching our children to having civics lessons, patriotic education, wonderful readers. it's not rocket science. jedediah: yeah. most parents i know just want to send their kids to school for unbiased education, teach them how to read and write and add and subtract. it's quite simple for many. unfortunately live it's not what these kids are getting in many cases. rebecca friedricks, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. jedediah: still ahead the nfl divisional playoffs set to kick off today. we are previewing the head-to-head matchup on fox brady vs. brees. i don't know what that means but will cain will explain it to you next. ♪ ♪ it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute?

[laughter] all right, so with the inauguration days away the secret service sets up a lockdown perimeter in d.c., lucas tomlinson is live in our nations capitol with more on the security efforts. lucas? reporter: well good morning, guys the secret service says that anybody can do violence to the nations capitol also does nothing but to be safe the national guard says it'll deploy up to 25,000 troops from around the country to protect the nations capitol during the inauguration. the park services closed the national mall limiting protests to a few hundred people and for now the soldiers guarding d.c. do not have magazines loaded in their rifles even with the beefed up security , the it has been postponed and in addition to the additional forces d.c.'s police chief says all of his 3,800 cops will be out patrolling the streets some are warning domestic terrorists could hit soft targets outside washington in state capitols and other federal buildings and back in the nations capitol the secret service says you're not taking any chances. >> there's a great deal of a very concerning chatter and it's what you don't know that we are preparing for , so, i don't know if anyone has raised their hand to say we are coming, we will be there, but we are preparing as if they are. reporter: to put 25,000 troops in perspective, right now there are 28,000 american troops in south korea, guarding against an invasion from the north and a war that technically has never ended. the theme here in washington, deterrence, pete, jed, will? pete: lucas that's right. deterrence, even if all of those that have rifles and those that do don't have magazines it still has a deterrent effect and talking to that many people on the ground with that many people, hard to feed them and hard to house them lucas tom tomlinson still chim ing in and that's what's going on indiana north korea. a little bit of a different situation in washington d.c. where ultimately the threat level is unknown and no politician wants to be left at this point after what happened wondering if they had done enough so we'll continue to monitor those 25,000 troops in our own grown zone in our own capitol but yesterday, joe biden gave another speech about covid-19 and vaccines and it comes after the speech two days ago where he talked about a stinks plan and here is what joe biden wants to push through with 2 two drill dollars additional spending on top of what was already passed. 1,400 stimulus checks in addition to the 600 already passed, raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour that's washington d.c. dictating what employees across the nation must be paid at a minimum, 400 billion for fighting covid-19, and that 350, will, for city states and governments was not included before, because republicans insisted this should not be a blue state bailout. that's exactly what that big chunk of money is. will: absolutely and this is what the wall street journal editorial board is saying about joe biden's plan, this blowout has nothing to do with economic stimulus. nearly all of the money is for income redistribution so people in genuine need but most to advance long term democratic social policies into constituencies like teacher's unions and politicians, jedediah we talked about this earlier in the show. to me the big standout is raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour while also increasing unemployment. to me, that creates a vice grip. pressure on both ends of work, productivity, and employment. it makes it very hard for small businesses to survives to have $15 minimum wage after months of lockown, so they can't hire with those type of costs but on the other end those looking for a job now have an unemployment rising during this timeframe. we need to help people but we can't create this disincentive, this vice grip on work, productivity and unemployment. jedediah: we'll also have business owners having to explain, yet again, to bureaucrats why raising the minimum wage is a problem for them, why it creates a problem for a lot of their workers, particularly low- skilled workers why they wind up being in a position where they have no choice but to let people go, why technology is replacing a lot of employees in locations because employers are saying listen, we have to meet a bottom line and remember, unlike government that collects a lot of tax dollars, they go into the red deep as we know, they have no problem being in massive massive amounts of debt. that doesn't work when you own a business, and when you're operating a small mom and pop shop and that is the means by which you feed yourself, your family, you can't exist in the red. you have to make profit, so, everything needs to be considered like that and i'm just exhausted frankly when we have these minimum wage discussions i'm so tired of politicians preaching on this. i really just want to hear from business owners and let them lecture politicians because politicians need to hear from people who actually feel the implications of these policies in their daily life, regardless joe biden has come out and talking a lot about what he will do and what he won't do this is a first-step first indication of where i think he's headed and some of that is tuck ing in some progressive policies into titled bills that are like covid relief and then you'll see a lot about minimum wage. regardless representative dan crenshaw weighed in and here is what he had to say. this guy has no ideal of this was just passed into law, stop plagerizing the last relief bill and tell democrat governors to open the economy. key point, there, pete, is the one thing missing is you could give people, you know, x amount of dollars and i do think there are people around the country that deserve that money because they were forced into lockdown by no choice of their own, but unless you're willing to reopen the communities and allow these businesses to work, allow people to go back to work, it's not going to be a fix. you're just going to wind up back in the same trouble some situation again in a pattern of bad behavior via democrat order. pete: that's right the vice grip will you're talking about i prefer the two- sided crush but it's the same thing, vice grip on businesses, and they're not allowed to open and you know, with joe biden about to take the helm, his view of mandates and lockdowns is, you know, based on science, and going to be dictated from washington d.c. , and as dan crenshaw pointed out from that quote that you read, jed, all that spending has nothing to do with allowing free citizens to open their businesses and not be dictated to. well, does that work, this top- down mandatory lockdown approach? here the headline from our own fox news, calling that into question, saying mandatory lockdowns may not be any better at controlling covid-19 than less restrictive measures, a study finds. so, will, if now we're learning all this time it was 15 days to stop the spread, then it was a month, then it was a whole summer of riots and things like that, that the mandatory lockdowns, that everyone's been living under because they want to play their part, they don't work? can you imagine the blowback people should feel as their livelihoods have been crushed? will: this is not a footnote. this is not a caveat. this is not an oh, by the way or an oops, no harm, no foul, this is one of the most egregious mistakes policy blunders in american political history shutting down an entire economy for going on nine months is absolutely, well it's cruel. it has crushed people's livelihoods, their mental health and absolutely been something that has been punitive on individuals across this country, and to look up nine months later and go you know, that might not have been the best thing, is a little too little a little too late. this is a massive , massive reveal and a massive admission and one that people should pay the price for , jedediah. jedediah: yeah, i think when schools were closed for a really long time, far beyond the point when we knew that they were not super spreader events, children just going to school, i think when outdoor dining suddenly became an issue and you were scratching your head saying well people outside, really is that a super spreader? no it wasn't, so they weren't following the data. government bureaucrats were not listening to health officials and following the science on these, in multiple, multiple instances, and imagine, pete, to your point imagine being a business owner who had to shutdown and they never reopened again and now you're finding out all of measures weren't backed by science. to say these people are infuriated is a gross under statement. from the medical perspective we spoke to dr. konta, and we've had her on many times and she said that lockdowns aren't showing any benefits, listen to her take earlier. >> the united states, france, germany, britain which have had extremely stringent lockdowns either nationwide or in major parts of our country, and they're not finding any benefit in reducing the rate of spread compared to countries with less punitive restrictions like sweden and south korea. we see that people actually when they know about the risk modify their behavior before you crucial businesses and all activity nationwide. in fact, there's other data from harvard which shows that locking down may actually help feed infections inside households and household transmission. jedediah: yeah, because months and months and months deep into this , people were starting to have mental health side effects. they were getting depressed and anxious so what they started doing is when they couldn't go to the restaurant or go outdoor dining which was not a super spreader event they wound up inviting people into their homes which we actually know is a super spreader event, so the irony is that in an effort to escape these measures, people actually began doing things that were counter productive just by shear desperation. you can not lock people in forever with no end in sight and they start to lose their minds, all of us, every single one of us. it's against human nature. pete: and it validates president trump's approach where he said let's rush to the vaccine as quickly as we can. let's follow the personal measures try not to main date them where we can, and ultimately, open up. open your businesses open your economies. let's not create double standard s so it's not disjointed to do both at the same time, which is what the study is finding. will: you know, this news does not come to a surprise to people listening at home. they already knew the lockdowns didn't work and you know who else? pete: exactly right. will: do you know who else knew that? politicians, you've said several times, pete, that's why we see the hypocrisy. that's why they're going to french laundry and taking trips to mexico because they knew as well as anyone these lockdown s weren't necessary. pete: yup. jedediah: yeah. deeply disturbing stuff, and i think more is going to unfold in the name of facts as the months pass on. we're going to turn to some headlines a federal inmate is executed overnight. dustin higgs died by lethal injection at the federal prison in indiana. he is the 13th prisoner executed since july. he was convicted of kidnapping and killing three women in maryland in 1996. progressive congresswoman corey bush called higgs execution murder at the hands of the federal government saying the death penalty must be abolished. >> and portland city council unveils its plan to demand rep in asians from congress for black americans and native americans and the proposal also calls on washington to make june -teeth a national holiday, change the 13th amendment to ban prison labor and create a program that provides funds to minority households, businesses and institutions. >> and could a cheeto destroy the international space station? that question asked by a 7- year-old sends the social media platform into a scientific debate. one self-proclaimed aerospace engineer says it would vaporize upon impact while another argues a cheeto moving at 33,000 miles per hour could make a dangerous hole in the space laboratory and those are your headlines who knew a cheeto could be so dangerous, will wayne. will: well nobody knows, it could vaporize, so i don't know. pete: anything moving fast enough, right? will: right. well, yeah. pete: right? will: well if it's fragile moving fast it blows itself up, right? you want to keep doing this? we're going to keep doing this but on air or during the commercial. all right, still ahead the effort to recall gavin newsom is growing and democrats are finally taking notice

lockdown hypocrisy, including california governor gavin newsom with this parity video but it's not all fun and games as momentum builds for him to be recalled, congressman darrell issa says california has had enough, he joins us now, congressman thanks for being here really appreciate it. so do you think they will meet the threshold for the recall, and is it the hypocrisy of the lockdowns that has really pushed people to the edge with leaders like gavin newsom? >> having led the recall of grey davis in 2003, i know that no one thing causes a successful recall. it takes a series and a repetitive group of mistakes. yes, the hypocrisy of being at the french laundry with no mask, laughing and enjoying $40,000 worth of dinner certainly is sort of the pinnacle of wrongdoing but it's the nature of his constantly telling californians how to live their lives or how to not to successfully run their businesses that have worn down voters many of whom voted for him to where they're signing the petitions, where there's now over a million, less than 500,000 more to go, and he'll be on the ballot for a recall. pete: and congressman, it's because the approach he's taking is almost the cartoonish version of what a mayor or governor would try to do to their own people to include say, it's not just enough to wear a mask in a restaurant. his state tweeted out, you need to pull your mask down in between bites and then put your mask back up. it's an insane conclusion of these things, and the scary part is that people are waking up to this and there are studies to show it doesn't work. here is a headline from fox news , congressman. it says mandatory lockdowns may not be any better at controlling covid-19 than less restrictive measures, so wait until the people get the data that exposes what they already know which is that it's arbitrary doesn't work. you know, pete, the two largest producers of tomatoes and orange s in america are california and florida, but the similarity ends after that, because ron desantis as governor there, has taken a pro-liberty approach, and his people are enjoying a good life while enjoying a substantially similar rate of transfer, but certainly, a lot less mental illness, a lot less of the challenges, and i think that's what's happening. you look at governor desantis. he's popular, even among people who might disagree with a lot of other things, they feel like he's letting them protect themselves while, in fact, protecting their businesses and their lives. pete: does that flip? you mean business owners who remain locked down in california are okay with that, or -- no, business owners in california are ready to recall g avin, while in fact you go to florida, and these same businesses are open. you know, right now, there's a horse show going on in a major horse show in florida. why is it going on? well, because they're open for business. is there any reason that you can't have people on horses and have enough separation and security to be able to do both? of course not, but in california , there's a bias toward locking things down, closing things up. you can't go to your barber. you can't go here, you can't go there, and by the way, the next shoe to drop is the incredibly inept way he's handled the unfortunately the dispensing of the vaccine. we are so far behind in dispensing the vaccine. he hasn't been forward-leaning. additionally, obviously, he's also failed to pay the bill to setup the additional icu's to cover the surge that he's now having. pete: interesting. >> and again part of the surge is the vaccines are not being distributed nearly fast enough in california and there are freezers full of vaccines that are not being put into people's arms. pete: and to your point,

" corey what's your reaction to that? >> the governor's been, i think , misleading the public since the beginning. this is another example with the restaurants, when the real facts came out it was clear the restaurants have nothing to do with the viral spread, they are being shutdown for no valid reason. same thing is going on with respect to a lot of businesses, same thing tonight, they have to shutdown the buffalo bills playing and the game starts at 8 :15. no reason. the virus doesn't get active at 10:00 at night. there's no science to what the government is doing. the governor is running a monarchy here and it's time for the citizens to do something about it and that's what's going on. people are rising up saying let's get to the science. let's get to the facts. let's stop the kind of stuff that the governor is saying. will: let's do that and get to the science and the facts right here right now. the governor' office has been conducting contact tracing, and just released some of that information from september, october, and november. i want you to take a look at this because this is fascinating over 73% almost 74% of coronavirus spread comes from household gatherings. how much comes from restaurants? the thing that is being cracked down on, absolutely crushed? 1.4%. that 1.4%, john, apparently is why you have to close your restaurant at half time of the buffalo bills game. why you have to close at 10 p.m. >> well, it doesn't make much sense, according to the science and the data that the state has put out. you're 52 times more likely to contract this virus according to the state's numbers, at a home environment setting, than you are at one of our restaurants. we take a lot of precautions, we go above and beyond. we comply with all of the rules, and we want to do this professionally and safely. will: and the court saw it your way at least at this level of your suit the court saw it your way there's no rational basis in fact no science as we all know now to back up crushing your businesses. happy you can be open now, john, wish you luck in the best of your legal fight going forward thank you corey and john for being here. >> thank you. >> bye-bye now. will: still ahead, apple ceo tim cook is defending the decision to remove social media platform parlar from their app store, jason chaffetz is here to weigh in, next. look, this isn't my first rodeo and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other. big difference is how you pay it back. find out how reverse mortgages really work with aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage guide. eliminate monthly mortgage payments, pay bills, medical costs, and more. call now and get your free info kit. other mortgages are paid each month, but with a reverse mortgage, you can pay whatever you can, when it works for you, or, you can wait, and pay it off in one lump sum when you leave your home. discover the option that's best for you. call today and find out more in aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage loan guide. access tax-free cash and stay in the home you love. you've probably been investing in your home for years... making monthly mortgage payments... doing the right thing... and it's become your family's heart and soul... well, that investment can give you tax-free cash just when you need it. learn how homeowners are strategically using a reverse mortgage loan to cover expenses, pay for healthcare, preserve your portfolio, and so much more. look, reverse mortgages aren't for everyone but i think i've been 'round long enough to know what's what. i'm proud to be part of aag, i trust 'em, i think you can too. trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. call now so you can... retire better because of the research that i've started to do on ancestry, with documents, with photographs, i get to define myself through the scores of people who lead to me. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com introducing new extra charged coffee at dunkin'. because it's time for a little extra this year. extra boost. extra kick. so we're extra good to go. get a medium hot or iced extra charged coffee for $2. with 20% more caffeine. order ahead plus earn rewards. america runs on dunkin'. the new myww+ is our most holistic weight loss program ever. you can choose any workout you want to fit with your time frame. there are a ton of zero point foods that i love. i never feel restricted. the new myww+. don't pay until spring! your first three months are free! >> how did you decide to balance free speech with objectionable content? >> we looked at the insightment to violence that was on there, and we don't consider that free speech and incitement to violence has an intersection. pete: apple ceo, tim cook, from his space ship defending his company's decision to pull the free speech outlet parler from the app store will: the move echoed by google and amazon promoted parler ceo to take legal action as he claims he's in hiding with his family after death threats. jedediah: here to react fox news contributor jason chaffetz. jason, welcome to the show. so, you know, we want to get your thoughts on what you just heard from tim cook, obviously, there's going to be a full interview tomorrow, people can watch that on fox news sunday but essentially he's saying oh, this isn't about freedom of speech. we're not trying to restrict that. we just have a problem with the way they moderate their comments. your thoughts? >> i think the apple position is arbitrary. it's subjective, and it is inconsistent and i think that's what's terribly unfair. i've been on twitter, since, since 2008. i have been subject to more death threats and attacks, incit ement to violence than you can possibly imagine. never have i ever seen twitter try to take any of that down. never have i seen them go after attacks on president trump, or all of these celebrities touting that they want death to the president of the united states, and it only goes one way it's the hypocrisy. it's the idea that hey, you can do this on one side of the aisle , but not on the other side of the aisle, and that inconsistency is wrong. apple has no legal liability under section 230. they have just taken this political position, which is a one way street. it doesn't go both ways. pete: jason, it's not even inconsistency because it's so consistent and it's not even hypocrisy because it's so blatant. it just is the standard, so if they can erase an entire platform in parler, what's the recourse for people who love free speech who now happen to be conservative because they love free speech is it section 230, something else, what can actually be done to level this playing field? >> i think apple, google, facebook, i think twitter, they're all subject, they're publicly-held companies and i think the biggest thing that is going to happen is that there's going to be users of the platforms themselves that will go out and sue them under unfair trade practices. that's what i think is wrong. they also have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders. how is this good for shareholder s to go out and offend 74 million americans and say that they can't communicate? the whole argument, pete, was originally, well look if you don't like twitter there are a private company then go create your own and then they did and now, they aren't even allowed to communicate, so i think those lawsuits are going to start to be flying and i think they will ultimately be successful. will: to that point, jason by the way i got a text last night from a friend who owns apple stock and they are about to vote proxy on their board of directors guess whose number two on the board of director list, al gore. you have a political agenda behind these decisions and let's not ever underestimate amazon's role in this because they are behind that meaning in the background that amazon web services hosts these websites and apple and twitter are just the apps on the front end of this stuff. if you can't even be on the internet, you're done, and amazon gets to make that call, but jason here is what's also in the background and i love this title of your book. it's they never let a crisis go to waste. the truth about disaster, liberalism. your book comes out april 6 but the issue, what happens in moments of "crisis" and what that means to not let it go to waste? >> i was in congress for eight and a half years it took me a lot of time to see this with crystal clarity, and i got to tell you, this is how the liberals operate. they take a crisis, then they go out and find all these things that the they wanted to move forward in their agenda and they would never be able to do otherwise, and guess what? the solution is always the same. more taxes, more government, more control. so they take a crisis, whether it's fabricated or real, and then they come up with all these solutions that have nothing to do with actually solving the crisis. it's not only in covid and these other things, but i got to tell you the book is full of these examples and when government figures out that they have unlimited power in a crisis, the number of crisis become unlimited that's the whole premise of the book and i think it'll be illuminating for people and i hope they get it. good book. jedediah: jason this year with the lockdowns we've seen government involvement like we had never seen it before. thanks so much for joining us today and we wish you the best of luck in your book. pete: yes indeed. >> thank you. pete: they never let a crisis go to waste, jason chaffetz, april 6. turning now to your headlines. d.c. police releasing photos of a capitol hill rioter who they say assaulted this police officer. the department says this manus sed a riot shield to pin down the officer daniel hodg es into the doorway crushing him and one protester tried to rip off his gas mask and beat him up and he's recovering from his injuries. >> take a look at this back to back rain triggered a massive mudslide in washington wiping out part of an island, the large slide just missed a row of homes on the shoreline. crews on scene reporting no structures were damaged. officials say no one was injured , thankfully. a series of storms brought at least two inches of rain earlier in the week so two inches. >> all right here is a delivery man, you can count on. an amazon delivery guy jumps on a horse to deliver packages after snow-blocked roads in cashmere, a region near the pakistan and india border. he decided to mount up after realizing customers desperately needed their orders which included medical equipment and baby food. he says he became a bit of a celebrity with people stopping to take pictures of him and his horse. is there no place amazon cannot reach? will: no. pete: cashmere, via horse in pakistan. will: the answer to your question is no. it's everywhere. pete: [laughter] let's go to rick. will: he has a view of everywhere. he's got a view across the country at least. pete: and the weather in cashmere. rick: [laughter] there you go i don't have the weather in cashmere off hand , sorry. that's one of the few that i don't know. i will tell you that you mentioned that two inches of rain, it wasn't in washington. they had so much rain this winter, its been a spot just pummeled with rain with mountain snow, 39 degrees right now in seattle, no real cold air anywhere across the lower 48, even anchorage, alaska this morning, 23 degrees. we had one storm yesterday was the blizzard, across parts of the northern plains as the storm moved off towards the east, it weakened but now a lot of rain moving across parts of the north east for the most part, new york city you're done, we'll see this tapering off by mid- afternoon for pretty much everybody and by the time it's done we'll see six to 12 inches of snow across higher elevations of interior sections of the northeast and then we have a little bit of residual snow behind this for the next couple of days won't cause massive problems but be careful on those roads could be a couple slick spots that's it. guys back to you. pete: rick, cashmere, 32 and clear i got your back anytime you need it. rick: nicely done. jedediah: that's pete's side gig , oh, man.

>> yes, it is, jedediah. these counterfeit vaccines, these phony medications, america s, they are a real public health risk and they are extreme ly dangerous and potentially life threatening. we don't know what's in it. what you need to know is that no vaccine, no covid vaccine can be sold online. they are only sold to the government, so if you see any covid vaccine, moderna, pfizer, johnson & johnson being sold online it's fraudulent, fade, stay away from it, it could be toxic and chemicals you don't know what you're injecting yourself with, you want to stay away from it and it's also dangerous because you think you're injecting yourself with a vaccine you got online but you're giving yourself a false sense of protection. by all means, we want you to get your vaccine. i got my vaccine, i encouraged my mom whose also a registered nurse who got her vaccine as well. we want everyone to get their vaccine, but be patient, wait your turn and the good thing is, being patient and waiting your turn you might have more options in the next few months we'll have a lot more vaccines on the market not just pfizer, not just moderna, we'll have johnson & johnson, novavax, astrazeneca, so we've got a lot in the pipeline coming up. jedediah: that's exactly right. well, we want to get to some viewer questions because people have a lot of questions for you today. we'll start with an e-mail from linda. she writes there seems to be no guidance for those of us that the have had the virus. do we need to get vaccinated? >> yes, linda, you do need to get vaccinated but according to the cdc, you should defer your vaccine by about 90 days if you've had covid already. jedediah: that's a great answer. okay in an e-mail from dianne, once you have been vaccinated can you still be an asymptomatic carrier? >> you can. it is possible. see the covid vaccine will help prevent you from developing severe illness or being hospitalized, but is it possible for you to still be an asymptomatic carrier and spread it to other people? yes, it is a possibility, even though it's a low possibility of that happening. that's why we say wear your mask and practice social distancing until we can get what we call he rd immunity. jedediah: and i'm guessing you can also be, this is my question just to add in, you can also be asymptomatic carrier if you have had covid-19 and have the antibodies then, same principle? >> it is a possibility, but the likelihood of that happening is low, because if you had antibodyings, then likely, you're healed or healing from the virus, from the disease, so it is possible, but we need a lot more research, remember this virus has only been around for about a year. we're still learning as we go, so you got to take those precautionary measures. jedediah: yeah, okay, we have an e-mail from connie. is the vaccine safe for people with autoimmune diseases? >> generally, yes but it's very important to make sure you speak with your doctor before you get any vaccine before you take any medicine even if it's over-the-counter. the caveat is if you have an autoimmune disease, then your body may not develop the strong enough protection that you need to fight against covid so you would definitely need it moreso than someone else that doesn't have an autoimmune disease so generally speaking yes but talk to your doctor to make sure you're getting what's best for you. jedediah: and doctor, this final question is one that i hear all the time. it's an e-mail from daniel. can people who already had covid get it again? if so, is it a more mild case? >> that's a great question, daniel. from my experience, with my patients, yes, you can get covid twice. i've actually had patients, for example, they got sick in march of last year, and then they came in again november, december, and they tested positive again after testing negative. now, for most of them the symptoms were about the same or mild, but everyone is different, so you want to continue to protect yourself, wear your mask, practice social distancing, and when it's your turn, get your vaccine, because vaccines ultimately are what's going to save lives. jedediah: yeah, well great questions from our viewers today thank you so much for your answers i could talk to you all day i have about 60 more questions where those came from from my own head but we're out of time, thank you, doctor. >> all right, thanks, jed have a good one. jedediah: you too. still ahead, he is known for his legendary music and honoring our veterans and now he's helping our nations heros again but this time with his new whiskey, oh, boy, lee greenwood is here to share his new missions, that's next. >> ♪ this land is your land, this land is my land, from california, to the new york islands, from the redwood forest, to the gulfstream waters ♪ i had shingles. horrible. a young thing like me?
