everything your trip needs for everyone you love. expedia. for everyone you love. managing lipids like very high tryou diet. exercise. tough. but if you're also taking fish oil supplements... you should know... they are not fda approved... they may have saturated fat and may even raise bad cholesterol. to treat very high triglycerides, discover the science of prescription vascepa. proven in multiple clinical trials, vascepa, along with diet is the only prescription epa treatment, approved by the fda to lower
5:14 am
very high triglycerides by 33%, without raising bad cholesterol. look. it's clear, there's only one prescription epa vascepa. vascepa is not right for everyone. do not take vascepa if you are allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. tell your doctor if you are allergic to fish or shellfish, have liver problems or other medical conditions and about any medications you take, especially those that may affect blood clotting. 2.3% of patients reported joint pain. prescription power. proven to work. now with a new indication. ask your doctor about vascepa. >> i think the president's principal defense, you saw it in the answer that was interposed over the weekend, is very simple. this is an entirely partisan and, therefore, illegitimate effort by house democrats to remove a president from office. and the remedy for that is the united states senate, as
5:15 am
envisioned by the framers of the constitution. cheryl: that was attorney robert ray on sunday morning futures, talking to maria bartiromo about the defense strategy that the president and his legal team will you us l wik when the trial begins in the senate. let's bring in republican strategist, kelly sadler and democrat strategist. your expectations for what the defense team is going to say, it's believed they will use the constitution as defense for the president. >> absolutely, the president did nothing wrong here, nothing that brings this up to a high crime and misdemeanor, the standard for impeachment. the house rushed this through. it was a very partisan trial. it was a sham of impeachment where the president's lawyers were not present. this time over on the t senate, we are going to hear from the seven house managers and in a very calm, cordial way and we'll
5:16 am
hear the rebuttal from the president for the first time ever where he and his team will be able to make his case. i think you're not going to have those opening statements like adam schiff had that were full of errors and blatant high partisan lies that mitch mcconnell will keep this very straightforward and very bipartisan. cheryl: chuck schumer came out last night and he says that he wants to see witnesses, he wants this to be a fair and impartial trial. the problem is, is that the senate is controlled by mitch mcconnell and the republicans and there's a possibility that they're going to pull a trigger switch and actually have -- give the legal team for the president the chance for ask for a dismissal and then grant it. what is that politically, in your mind? >> it's not just adam schiff that's wants to see witnesses, it's the american people, north of 70% of whom have said that they want a fair trial. they want to see witnesseses. they want to see documents released. and we know that every single senator will raise their hand
5:17 am
and swear an oath to do impartial justice during this impeachment trial. and that means on this mlk day that they will be judging president trump on the content of his character, on his actions, in relation to the constitution. and it's really important to note that, that this is not about partisanship and who has ever heard of a trial without witnesses? that doesn't even pass the smell test. cheryl: donald trump junior said to maria, fine, if you want to bring witnesses, bring witnesseses on both sides. >> the house all the time in the world to bring as many witnesses forward that they wanted to. nancy pelosi held onto this for a month. they should not be doing the work the house should have done in the first place. >> that's not the way -- that's not the way trials work. you wouldn't see prosecutors and you wouldn't see judges, which
5:18 am
they're supposed to be jurors and judges, ignores evidence that comes in later, a after the trial, initial trial documents have been submitted. it doesn't make any sense to ignore it and try to turn this into a partisan problem. evidence is evidence. you have to hear it and you should let the people decide. what you have -- the senate is under an obligation to do impartial justice. that means allowing the evidence in so that they can weigh it in order to do that and uphold the constitution. the gao came out with a report, said that when president trump withheld congressionally approved aid, 400 million taxpayer dollars, withholding it was illegal, to do service to his -- >> let me remind you about something else about the report. cheryl: go ahead. >> the gao report found president obama acted illegally four times,. cheryl: one at a time, guys. >> [ overlapping speakers ] cheryl: it's too early of to be
5:19 am
talking over each other, it's only 5:00 in the morning. kelly, i don't want to bring -- you brought up a principle. i don't want to go there. i want to ask you, there is comparisons between this impeachment process and the impeachment with bill clinton. they're saying it's more part p san this time around. >> -- partisan this time around. >> it's more partisan because the house didn't do their due diligence, they didn't go to john bolton, they didn't sort out what executive privilege means. by them not doing their job and having a partisan sham of an impeachment, this is what the senate has to look at. it's not the senate's job to build the house's case, period. >> it's the senate's job to do impartial justice which means allowing evidence which the american people want to h want . cheryl: we'll have to see tomorrow. kelly, laura, i appreciate all the energy on this holiday.
5:20 am
thank you for getting up early for me. lauren: let's take a look at your money this morning. the dow stands about 650 points away from 30,000. markets closed today for the mlk holiday. futures are trading slightly to the downside. dow down 32, nasdaq down 11. up next, prince harry breaks his silence. >> the reasons, it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. i no, i haven't always done it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option. lauren: a glimpse into the state of mind of the duke of sussex. we have a live report from london on harry's first remarks on mexit. cheryl: big tech's privacy problems, are they stopping efforts dead in their tracks? you're watching "fbn: a.m." ♪ always been a matter of trust. s have debt we might die with.

5:27 am
this is great, but where can i use it. apple pay first came around, it was several years before you could use it everywhere you go. you still have to have your credit card, even the apple card has the magnetic stripe on it. we've got a long ways to go before we're going to be scanning the palm of your hand. there's privacy concerns, because every data would be -- every data terminal would be an amazon terminal. cheryl: i vote eye scan. nobody asked my opinion. brett, thank you very much. you can catch brett on fox news headlines, 24/7, sirius xm channel 115. prince harry is speaking out for the first time about the megxit drama, he's insisting he had no other option but to step away from his royal duties. lauren: amy kellogg is live in london for us, details on the speech everyone is talkin talk g about. >> reporter: he gave the speech in front of a charity that is
5:28 am
very near and dear to his heart that deals with young people who have hiv in africa. and he said that he wanted to tell the truth as best he could about what really went on. but we frankly will never really know exactly what was at play and at stake in that decision that he and meghan took to step away from being senior royals. he let it be known that it was the media but there are also rumors of so many family riffs. >> it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. the decision that i have made for my wife and i to step back is not one i made lightly. it was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. and i no, i haven't always done it right -- i no, know i havt done it right, but as far as this goes, there was not another option. >> reporter: harry said he wanted to continue to serve the
5:29 am
queen but that was not possible. he made a point of he defending his wife who has come under much fire in these days, often blamed for causing the turmoil. he said they shared the same values and meghan was the same woman he had fallen in love with, at meghan's father lashed out at the couple for leaving the royal fold. >> she got every girl's dream, every young girl wanted to become a princess and she got that. it's kind of embarrassing to me. >> reporter: the queen said to have been deeply hurt by all of this, put on a brave face, smiling at church yesterday, giving a strong show of support for prince andrew who has had his own pr problems after much fallout from his friendship with the late convicted pedophile, jeffrey epstein and it did look like it was very symbolic, the queen smiling, with this other prince, showing that she is putting some very uncomfortable family moments now firmly behind

5:36 am
netflix's subscriber growth slows down that disney is gaining. i think if in the u.s., which is the most crowded, the most densely crowded market for the streaming services, it's possible you'll see a little bit of an incremental slowing on their part in the early phases of all these new ott launches, basically. lauren: are we just maybe years away from some company coming out with a la carte streaming, so if you want to watch the morning show from apple and the crown from netflix, you can pick exactly what you want to watch and bundle it together? is that where we're headed with this because there's so much competition out there. >> right now there's so much in the market and that specific model which is a la carte or purchasing is already there. i think you'll see over the near term loads and loads of consumer choices that are out there from ad supported nbc universal, just announced peacock this week, to an hbo max offering, obviously
5:37 am
disney is of out there, so there's quite a few products that will be in the market. you'll probably see a lessening in one, a gain in one of the others, but, yeah, i think there will be tones of different ways to purchase or just stream products. lauren: now that prince harry and meghan markle have given up their royal duties, who do you think makes the play if any of services for them? do you think it's netflix? do you think it's disney? >> i think anyone would be interested in talking to them. the real thing with he netflix, which i'm bullish of netflix, they are strong internationally, different from other services, they want to establish themselves with more and a more original content. so if i was betting on it, i would say netflix would be more interested in something like that, yeah. lauren: and apple just got a big win. they just signed julia louis dreyfus, she has the most number of emmys, she started with sign seinfeld, started with broadcast
5:38 am
television, went to cable with veep on hbo and now she's with apple. does a that up apple's game here? >> in my view, not really. it's very early for apple. they have an ambitious slate of programming. i think they're doing something that should be applauded. there's been mixed reviews on some of the services. they're acting like a film studio, trying to build loads of new content from scratch with a big budget. some of the things will work, some won't work. again, they're very different than netflix. so probably just at the incremet will help. lauren: so many choices out there. thank you for the time. cheryl: our question of the day, do you think that meghan markle should cut a deal with netflix? maybe it will be about an american woman who marries a prince or is that the hallmark channel? i can't keep track anymore. tell us your answers, we're on

twitter, facebook and insta. lauren: maybe it's something that president obama and michelle obama did, they inked a nice deal with netflix. we'll see. cheryl: san antonio going toe to toe with chick-fil-a over an airport franchise. the staggering amount of legal fees they have spent on this issue. lauren: and fed up with the current standard of medical care? >> i need your help, hank. >> you're in a hospital. >> no, this is not a hospital. >> it's not. >> it's a socialist conspiracy. apparently, if you're not holding your dismembered leg in your hand, you don't require treatment. lauren: the latest trend in medicine is taking it back to the way medical care used to be. we're talking to a concierge doctor when "fbn: a.m." returns. ♪ it's like bad medicine. ♪ they're ain't no doctor that can cure my disease. he wanted a man cave in our new home. but she wanted to be close to nature.

just basically they can get the times that they want. we also have like an hour-long per year consultative appointment, they get lots of extra perks that aren't included in general medical care. lauren: you're dealing with a lot of working new parents who are stressed because they're working and they have kids and they're very anxious about all this. it's new to them. >> right. in fact, a primary person that gets the concierge service with me is a new mom. they're kind of thrown to the wolves with a baby that they don't know anything about. a lot of times those are the moms that sign up for it because they have so many questions and it's nice because they have my cell phone number, they can send me texts and photos and videos and look at this rash and hey, she throug threw this up, and dd to worry, do i need to come in. nine times out of ten, i'll say manage it this way, they don't
5:45 am
have to come in. it may save them having to bring in a baby with other sick children. lauren: you wouldn't have done that in a traditional medicine practice. i>> they don't have access to y cell phone number. lauren: that's the difference. >> that's the difference. that's the main difference. i think that's why most people sign up for it. in the beginning of setting up my practice, it's been 10 years, in the beginning i gave everybody my cell phone number. that had to change. it was too abused, unfortunately. and -- but you now you now, thet have acassess to the cell phone number, a lot of times they don't have to come in. lauren: a lot of patients in general complain that they go to see a doctor and have to wait forever, whether in the doctor's office or whether in a hospital or your jeor urgent care and tht could have deadly consequences. does concierge limit that wait?
5:46 am
>> absolutely. that's one of the main attractive things about it. patients will be able to have morning appointments before they go to work. they can have after work appointments, saturday hours, which gives them more time with me. there's no waiting around. and the traditional patients don't have to wait longer. they just don't get as much quality of time with me. so the medical care is the same but the time is different. lauren: there are 6,000 actively practicing concierge medicine physicians across the country and you are one of the pioneers. dr. kathy ward, thank you for coming on bright and early. cheryl, over to you. cheryl: give them your e-mail, not your phone. >> they hav all have access toe office e-mail. cheryl: i know what you're talking about. coming up, the sag awards happened last night. if it's any indicator of who is going to win at the oscars, there may be major upsets. we've got all the winners and the losers, coming up. lauren: the viral moment from the show that everybody is
