Shooting from the hip: It would reduce the toluene group to a methyl cyclohexadiene. The pyridine group would be left as it is. I think.. depends on
the amount of Li. More base further reduction..

That double bond conjugated with aromatic ring may also be reduced. Pyridine ring is reducable by sodium in alcohol, so it MAY be reduced in condition
of birch reduction, but I wouldn't be certain whether or not and to what extent and if it's reduction would be favoured over reduction of benzene
ring.
