What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Weather rose in the southeast. I'm Kathleen Maloney, Fox News. A major nor'easter is crushing the Carolinas and Virginia. Fox Weather's Hallie Meyer is in Greenville, North Carolina.
Top snow report coming out of North Carolina was just shy of two feet, so over 22 inches worth of snow. Incredible.
What weather events are affecting the Carolinas and Virginia?
That was over in the mountains, some elevation there. Here in Greenville, they're averaging about 8.5 inches, but there was a snow report of 15 inches, which would, in theory, make it the snowiest day they've seen on record. going all the way back to 1896. That's where the previous record stands at around 13 inches. But yesterday, the snow came on fast and furious. We had snowfall rates close to an inch, an inch and a half per hour, and it was a very light, fluffy, powdery snow that can only happen when you have very cold air in place, something that is somewhat rare for the South and the Southeast.
This weather causing major disruptions to airline travel. The partial government shutdown now in its second day with DHS funding taking center stage in the dispute. It's expected to continue as Democratic leaders say they won't help pass a funding bill.
If House Democrats would vote yes, the government could reopen Monday night. But now it's going to take until at least Tuesday. Republicans may need to pass the bill on their own. Chris Murphy of Connecticut is the top Democrat on the panel, which funds ICE. The bill would only fund DHS for two weeks, and Republicans oppose Democratic demands for ICE agents to remove masks and carry IDs. Now, Johnson believes the House can align with the Senate on Tuesday. That would end the partial shutdown. But some House Republicans could oppose the deal. They believe Democrats are trying to keep ICE from doing its job.

President Trump says he has instructed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem not to deploy federal agents to Democrat-run cities unless they ask for it.
President Trump says it's the responsibility of local governments to protect state, local, and federal properties in the face of protests. He says the federal government will step in at their request, but first he says they must say please. The president did say he has instructed ICE and Border Patrol to protect federal buildings, but they should serve only as a backup. Meantime, Minnesota officials faced a legal blow over the weekend after a federal judge rejected their bid to block Operation Metro Surge. U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Menendez ruled state and local officials have not met the legal burden required to justify an end to the operation.
Fox's Madeline Rivera. Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing conservative Speaker Charlie Kirk, due back in court this week as his team fights to block the video of Kirk's assassination from being shown.
This hearing is a continuation of the January 16th hearing during which Robinson's attorneys argued the prosecution should be kicked off the case due to an alleged conflict of interest they say is due to a child of one of the prosecutors being in the crowd when Kirk was murdered. And they claim that any video of the shooting is irrelevant to their motion because it, quote, is graphic and likely highly disturbing to any person who views it negatively impacting Mr. Robinson's constitutional right to a fair trial. And his defense also said it plans to ask for cameras inside the courtroom to be banned during this week's hearing as well.
Fox's Chanley Painter. Jury selection begins tomorrow in New Mexico in the first standalone state trial against Meta, the parent of Facebook and Instagram. Prosecutors accused the company of allowing its platforms to become a breeding ground for child predators and say its systems pushed harmful content on kids.
