coronavirus relief bill. i have been in support of one for months. but you have to look under the hood to see what it says. obviously, we need to help those workers who are still unemployed or still can t get the hours they need because people like gavin newsom and xavier becerra have shut down their restaurants or bars. we need to help businesses that are struggling to keep their people on payroll. we need to make sure that schools can stay open as is the case in arkansas or reopen across the country. we need to make sure that we have the money to get the vaccine out as quickly as possible. rather that the total amount of spending in this bill some of which will be money we didn t spend in the cares act and we have available to spend on these high priorities. i will be looking at what the actual priorities and policies are of the bill. ainsley: senator, thanks for being with us. thank you all, merry christmas. ainsley: let s hand it over to carley she has headlines for us. carley: w
the northwest. unfortunately we are not getting into the areas that really need it. like california. so as we look for the next several days, looking at the potential for some moisture working its way into the northwest, as well as the southwest, a little bit of rain fall across portions of the mississippi and ohio river valley. some snow for the great lakes. the area of concern today is going to be southern california, where those santa ana winds are gusting again. critical fire danger. winds in excels of 50 to 60 miles per hour next couple of days. the rest of the u.s. looks pretty darn quiet which is what we will take. steve, ainsley and brian, back to you. ainsley: quiet is good. brian: thank you, janice. appreciate it. steve: getting kids back on the playing field. students athletes in some states right there, still on the sidelines private schools including one on long island letting kids play. how they are doing it safely. the lesson for america coming up
pineapple saloon and grill. she was complaining, remember, she set up her $80,000 tent in the back and shut down outdoor dining she noticed nbc show set up a tent next door pointing to there while they were going to have catering while shooting a show. she just says she feels she said i was on board in the beginning but she feels like like the leaders are so disconnected. listen. in the beginning, i was all on board and when things were changing, you know, in short notice and things, i thought well, maybe they are just disorganized. they don t know any better. they have known how the winter was going to be since march. i don t care they care. i think they are so disconnected? what s going on in the middle and lower class that they just make random arbitrary decisions without even thinking of the consequences. ainsley: meanwhile the leaders go out of and they spend what
