7:00 pm
ght? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody. tonight we are bri good evening, everybody. tonight we are bringing you the latest on the outbreak of the china coronavirus. it's killed at least 41 peoplee and infected more than 1000 others nationwide. and around the world. while the virus is obviously still starting, we can tell you as of right now, the number of cases beyond china is not particularly alarming. in the united states, a second case of the debbie coronavirus has been confirmed. the patient is a chicago woman in her 60s. the centers for disease control today announced monitoring 63 other potential cases of the
7:01 pm
virus in 22 different states. public health officials are watching all these cases closely and remain confident and optimistic about the slow pace of the spread of the disease. we'll have the latest for you tonight on what's being done to stop the virus from spreading. we are also bringing you the latest from capitol hill and what appears to be the conclusion of the radical dems opening arguments, a party of eight wrapping up. there are three days of deception and lies directed at the greatest president. he carries on people's business despite all this and continues to surpass any present record in his first three years in office. it appears most of the radical dems against the president motivated at least in great part by adam schiff. and his loss for airtime. house managers led by schiff and he's given himself almost a third of the allotted 24 hours.
7:02 pm
that means six other democrats also house managers, will have nothing approaching the socialist standard with their leader who's still from senate floor. the dems likely sacrificing a number of congressional seats. to allow the shift to take center stage in what is surely an audition to replace diane feinstein went, and if she were to decide to retire. the left wing obligingly gushing over shifty shift. >> i don't think any of us knew it would be an impassioned from congressman adam schiff. >> emotional closing there. >> is very strong, passionate , thoughtful. it was all those things. emotional appeal to a sense of what right. what's right for the country.
7:03 pm
>> heard a powerfully emotional direct statement to the senate. >> they are referring to the same fellow who says he doesn't trust the american people to decide who should be president. imagine those accolades. tomorrow morning, the president's defense team takes over. we can date the president is taking issue with. tweeting this. after having been tweeting unbelievable unfairly in the house and having to endure hour after hour of lies, fraud and deception by shifty schiff, chuck schumer and theirrew looks like my lawyers will be forced to start on saturday. death valley and tv. foxes told the legal team taking note of the president's concern and planning to hold a short session tomorrow about two to three hours long, then they will provide senators a review of
7:04 pm
what they plan to afford from the bulk of their arguments which will take place in monday and tuesday of next week. the radical dems talking about joe and hunter biden so the republicans we are told will likely speak of the bidens corruption. also, it doesn't appear they will ask for a dismissal of the trial. joining us tonight, one of the members of the president legal team, jim jordan. he's also the ranking member of the house oversight committee and member of the house judiciary committee. congressman, great to see you. you are in the throes of the shifty schiff team. what do you make of what they've done over these last few days? >> the 24 hours doesn't change the facts. the facts have always been on the president side. for months now, they say don't
7:05 pm
change. the transcript shows no quid pro quo. he repeatedly said there was s o pressure, no pushing of the investigationwa. the ukrainians didn't know at the time of the call and they took no action. there is no announcement of the investigation before. no matter how long adam schiff and democrat talk, it won't change. it's interesting all the adjectives used to describe chairmanships presentation, all the things they said. it reminded me of president reagan, it's not the review that counts. it's what happened at the box office. i think since november, the voters will speak loudly and clearly. trump will win in a big way. >> and take the house? >> if he wins big, we can definitely take the house. he's doing a good job putting it together, i think the president, there's a good chance he wins in
7:06 pm
a big house way. >> one of the conditions we've seenan is, how many people in te house, how many republicans line up behind the president? what we've seen so far shows an unprecedented unification and unity within the party. we are also seeing it in are you surprised by it in the senate? >> i think we are. we've heard nothing of any senators not wanting the articles or even both bringing in witnesses. think about that, they've been talking almost 24 hours, you are saying no republicans, i think it's a great sign. it's so strong on constitutional grounds for the president, we can also argue the lack of due process in the house proceeding where we couldn't call any witnesses, but argument is the
7:07 pm
facts. >> this is to me, interesting. senator mcconnell said the session tomorrow will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run for several hours. what will happen in that period of time? out ahink they will lay framework for what they are going to present. again, they will come up with been working with the great lawyers, will have a strong case for the president because they've got the constitutional arguments they can make. obstruction of congress, my colleagues say is what the founders call the declaration of powers. they have a strong argument of constitutional grounds. a strong argument on the lack of due process that took place in the house and fend they can argue the facts, they are so strong, what happened in that short time. when they were being held so strong they have that case to make as well. they will really get into a on monday.
7:08 pm
>> to underscore the.you made tonight, all of the facts are on the president's side and have been from the moment he was elected. he's also been under assault by the radical dems trying to either block his election or overthrow his presidency ever since. now we learn from judge james, presiding judge for the pfizer court, that two of the warrants have absolutely no predication. i love the fancy word you attorneys use on this. there was no cause, no probable cause, no basis and reason whatsoever. to proceed against him. that means the courts were themselves complicit in the corruption as well as the fbi, as well as the justice department. we still don't have an accounting. what you think? >> the one thing, we've been talking about this for two years. the only thing we got wrong from what took place with the fbi and
7:09 pm
pfizer court in all this, the only thing we had wrong is, it was worse than we thought. we thoughtwe they only had to americans. we didn't know they flied to the pfizer court 17 times. we sent a letter, he's a good man, a good judge. he's nonpartisan, i hope we get the answers back and put in the letter what he said to him last week. i hope we get those soon. we expect to get them. it shows how bad this was and most importantly, it shows impeachment didn't start july 2019 with this phone call between president trump and president zelensky. impeachment started in 2016 when they went to the pfizer court and they spied on for americans and wide to the pfizer court 17 times. >> it is absolutely frantic. this entire scandal.y it is, without question, the worst in this country's history
7:10 pm
and it still not resolved. congressman jim jordan, the forefront of those trying to make certain it is resolved and justice done, we thank you for being with us. appreciate it. a second confirmed case of the deadly coronavirus in the united states has been confirmed in chicago. the virus also spreading to europe and to confirmed cases in france. there are now more than 1000 cases worldwide, at least 41 deaths in china. construction crews working in the epicenter of the virus, the chinese city rapidly building to 1000 bed hospital for coronavirus patients. at least ten chinese cities and 33 million people are now under a form of lockdown, disney shanghai shutting their gates, all 70000 movie theaters in china have been closed. the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases director doctor anthony today told senators the chinese are
7:11 pm
being more honest with the public than ever in the past. >> i was there with the sars situation, they were notan p transparent. it was an embarrassment to them and it was difficult. this time around, it looks like they are being transparent. >> as of right now, the mortality rate for the coronavirus is running at just about .03%, that's about the same rate as the h1 and one swine flu from 2009. much lower than recent outbreaks and other viruses, deadly viruses such as sars armors. president trump making history march for life today. pastor robert evers among our guest tonight. he joins us later in the process to join. the only president republican president with the got to attend in person and to support the

$18 now. surpassed $100 billion, the world's second-largest behind only toyota. tesla becoming the most valuable u.s. carmaker ever. earlier this year, a reminder micro ports, three times a day, epast-to-coast on the radio network. what would vice president joe biden recently told a crowd in iowa that illegal immigrant children are more american than american citizens. listen to this. >> these kids come, they have done well, most of these kids, there's a lot of them and they are not just hispanic or asian and they have done very well. in many cases, more american than most americans because they have not underscore, they believe the basicic principles e all share.
7:18 pm
>> on and on he goes. his campaign trying to convince the left-wing to ignore corruption. when talking about bidens role in forcing the firing of ukraine prosecutor, victor back in 2016. a memo from the biden campaign tells reporters to stay on a bigger sleep that they have been discredited and debunked by authoritative sources. biden claims he had no part in the firing. could he perhaps explain this video? fromth 2018. >> we are not going to give you the million dollars. they said you have not authority, you're not the president. the president should call. that's not funny, you're not getting that. i said you're not getting it, i think it was $6, six hours. the prosecutors not fired. you're not getting the money. sativa [bleep] [laughter] got fired.
7:19 pm
>> joining us g now, john solom. foxbusiness and jupiter. abby editor-in-chief of his new media. great to have you with us. what you make of the campaign telling reporters not to believe there lying i? >> at the end of the day, joe biden from day one, that's why the attacks occurred on me. he has one problem. they can't erase the facts on the ground in ukraine and at the end of the day, contrary to joe biden's portrait of himself, he's not a victim of a smear campaign. he's not the victim of an unfunny conspiracy theory, he's a victim of his own t failure to see when he oversaw u.s. ukraine policy while his son was cashing in $200 million, he crated the appearance of a conflict of interest, state department
7:20 pm
officials that adam schiff called last fall, they saw the appearance of conflict of interest, they knew joe biden should have stepped aside. it seemed to me only joe biden doesn't see the wrongdoing in his conduct. >> let's turn to abc news 'sreport. a giuliani associate, with president trump at a dinner in 2018 in which it is alleged the president there said get rid of the former ambassador marie yovanovitch. we are told that's been turned over to investigators and congress and my question is, she wasn't fired until 14 months later, what in the world is the big deal here? >> also, early on, they said i was the reason she got fired. concern about the ambassador and
7:21 pm
her conduct in her stewardship of the embassy goes back a year before my reporting. time and time again, we are finding out the timelines of democrats in front of the media had. was wrong from the start. at the end of the day, the president could have fired because he didn't like the color of paint he painted the office. he had that power. it's a big red herring. the bigger issue, why was it so incompetent it couldn't fight corruption in ukraine? >> so incompetent. frankly, why do we not understand what is clearly a dissonant moment here? there's so muchh attention on hr and there was so much attention from the left. she had sponsorships from every corner. we don't -- i don't understand why i haven't seen a written report of why and it goes on. there has to be more to the story than any of us know understand. >> we know for sure the embassy
7:22 pm
was funding a group that they found it to carry out ukraine policy. that should be concerning to us. the biggest thing that's concerning americans is the pattern in ukraine and are embassy, every two years we get a new ukraine prosecutors. two years later they claim that guy, it's like groundhog day the movie. they've done a terrible job of getting out corruption. the first current time ukraine took action was one president trump withheld that eight. they took immunity away from the parliamentary members. donald trump forced the forced real corruption that joe biden and obama never accomplished. >> he also provided the military assistance that they so desperately needed as the radical dems blabber on, bleeding nonsense when they should have been talking about why the president in the white house did nothing for ukraine and in fact, watched silently as
7:23 pm
russia took over crimea. can you imagine what would happen if president trump had been in the oval office when russia took crimea? >> when i was going on, hunter biden was here with an average amount of $2 million a year being paid from a poor broken country after russians invasion. put that in perspective, to play dollars a year is 30 times the average american household a makes. god help them when they get to the elections and they need real people who make 60 thousand dollars a year, they don't see hunter biden being perfectly fine. >> they are having trouble already, they talk about permitting students not to pay back their school loans. running into the parents who have worked two jobs just to do precisely that.
7:24 pm
it's appalling what they are advocating at this time. john solomon, delighted to have you with us. we appreciate it so much. john solomon, the editor of just the news. i'll find out what this new the outlet is all about. jeff bezos being played for a fool. prosecutors in manhattan havee evidence now that suggests his girlfriend, lauren sanchez gave text messages to her brother. that he then sold to the national enquirer and then published a story about visas extramarital affair with sanchez. the prosecutors are investigating whether national enquirer publisher american media attempted to extort bezos. they are investigating whether bezos telephone was hacked by

7:31 pm
it. what is going on over there? >> keep in mind, it's basically like if you took apple and put them under the control of the chinese communist party, that's what you get. maybe throw the nsa that mix, too. the technology company, it's thatre information from the free world and the administration has been making life harder and urging allies not to use this in their 5g network and not any other government. i think he's off the rocker with his comments today. stephen minh nguyen at the treasury department, it's treasury that's been objecting to virtually any efforts to get tougher on china and north korea and iran. the other ones who seem to veto this new role that would change the amount of american technology where a foreign company could sell profit.
7:32 pm
>> this is quite something. this defense secretary, say what you will about nguyen, going on with this bunch of nonsense about orders of consequence, it must be contemplated about effective leaders. why is it being done out in public? doesn't somebody want to grab this guy by the ear and say wake up? >> if somebody has to do that, i volunteer here. up till now, i've only heard good things about secretary esper but now i have to seriously reassess. >> even his official statement makes no sense. this was a regulation that would have prevented u.s. companies put a limit on how much they sell over seas and the statement, it's about securing
7:33 pm
supply chains for u.s. companies. that's going backwards. they are selling, they are not trying to contain products. even a statement is absurd. >> chris is right. while way, the interest of china. which is strategic. >> why is there so much obvious conflicted thought here within the administration on whether huawei is in national security or not? if it is not, with any other country, treated as any other company. but it is a threat to our national security. this is not something for the compromise of the boardroom, this is something to bring a
7:34 pm
hammer down on. is it not? >> it is. the shocking thing is, it's like the world is turned upside down. usually it's the state department making ridiculous arguments saying yeah, they steal our secret and they are compromising all of our technologies and symptoms but really, we want to have good relations with china and we find a deal with them. it's the other part of the government, it's been completely turned around. there on board. pence is on board. with where the president wants to go. the pentagon, which should be the most, i think it's potentially against munition over treasury, it's like the world is upside down. >> the defense attorney for chief financial officer of huawei in vancouver and the proceedings for the united states, why should we extradite her? the secretary of defense says it's not a problem. to suffer company, whatever
7:35 pm
americans technology. this is a kind of nonsense, this is novel at least in american english. >> let me send a message to secretary esper. the president's advisory to national trade, the person negotiating with china and also matt, deputy national security advisor director for asia, all on the president side and you know who understands? donald jonathan trump. people need to get back -- >> jonathan or john? >> nevermind. >> i'm just going to go with donald trump. >> he is absolutely clear -- >> i don't think that's the

7:41 pm
president was making it clear, he didn't want to spend a lot of time tomorrow and what he called the death valley. wait until monday. >> we are going to take a few hours tomorrow to outline our case and it is a strong case and i don't think we are going to need to basically take 24 hours the democrats have taken because they don't have a case. they are treating this entire trial in the senate as a one long political infomercial where we are going to respect what it should be, which is an actual trial where we ask for facts and evidence in think our case essentially and we believe strongly that the president has done nothing wrong and all the facts on our side. >> he knows he's done nothing wrong. the american people know it. they say they paid attention to this p nonsense, adam schiff waa professional serial and amazingly good buyer, has been
7:42 pm
carrying this truck throughout. the people are under no illusion. i know i love the fact the president, cipollone, his attorney, talking about his passion and about his ordering and advocacy, it's terrific. cipollone has done a masterful job.b. >> an incredible litigator and jay sekulow has been incredible. they have the first opportunity, impeachment started in september without nancy pelosi even calling for an inquiry vote which is the proper way to do it in the house. >> wait a minute, i had to stop you because i'm stunned pelosi and schiff and now that would be involved in something like that. i found my nerves a little. >> the house impeachment on the
7:43 pm
71st day they invited the white house under their rules giving up our right and privilege and due process to consider being part of their trial, their sham over there. they have no interest in having that reflected. this week, the procedure motion was the first time you got to hear from cipollone and jake sekulow. the first time we are going to have to make our case and we start with cipollone taking on jerry nadler. when jerry nadler said to the centers, your composite in a corrupt if you don't essentially agree with the procedures and functions that were there. he rightly pointed out the real injustice, the real embarrassment the way house democrats treated the truth, the constitution, the senate american people. that is the pretext of this.
7:44 pm
>> it's an arrogant way cutting through the nonsense and getting to the point. by the way, nadler had a reach under, he called the president a dictator. my goodness. that's why the democrats are going to stay on this process. this is a political thing. >> like the president, iu: likeo pay attention because shifty schiff is looking for it. let's put up this of what's going on. this is ahi way wednesday 8.5 million. anonymously 7.8 million yesterday not going their way, not going their way.
7:45 pm
>> that's what you call a really bad product. the american people are saying enough. >> they have stopped buying impeachment a long time ago. if you put this into context of other very high profile congressional proceedings, i think the comic testimony, it got 19 million viewers. the mueller report got millions. the democratic candidate for president said -- >> find out where we end with this. >> nobody's asking about impeachment on the campaign trail. the american people care more about the interest of president standing up for them. national security, t economic prosperity and making sure the united states no longer gets taken advantage of as the world, part of the whole reason he was concerned mikan sincere apologies.
7:46 pm
>> i accept it and i apologies to you for whatever i've done. president trump demonstrating why he is the most pro-life president in history. also, the bravest in this issue. he becomes the first president in history, to personally address the march for life rally in washington. we take that up right after this break. robertoi jeffers joins me on the other side. stay with us.

they are coming after me because i am fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice. we will win because we know how to win. [cheering] >> he's done a lot of it. president trump today becoming the first sitting president to address the annual march for life rally in washington. in person. the president exhibiting the political courage and standing against the intimidation of the national left-wing media, his predecessors did not stand up to that pressure.
7:51 pm
joining us now is pastor robert jeffers, member of the white house initiative, pastor of the first baptist church and foxbusiness contributor, because always great to have you here. a big day. the president of the united states at that rally. for the first time in the 47thor year's the rally hashi been hel. >> that's right. we thought reagan and bush were strong pro-lifers but they were habit compared to this president when it comes to the issue. what the president is doing is certainly the right thing to do poorly. he talked about unborn children, reflecting the majesty of god but it's also the smart thing for him to do politically. just think about it, every democrat from everybody else running for president and braces this barbaric view of late-term abortion up until the moment a child is born, that means anybody with a conscious has only one choice in november and asked for president trump.
7:52 pm
when i had a pastor say to me recently, he said i may not like all terms tweet or all of his language but at least he's not for murdering children and i'm going to vote for him. >> that's hardly something you can put on a bumper sticker butw it's the truth. his reelection. >> after three years of this president, the most historic president in our country's history. in the first three years, there's no one who can touch what he's done in three years. somebody, pastor or otherwise, to be talking about his tweet is really missing the point. when you look at what he's done foreign policy, domestic policy, you name it and by the way, just to have the guts not to be intimidated by this national left-wing media that reduces most politicians, most public figures to whining, crying, cowardice, it is really
7:53 pm
something to have a man in the white house who has a courageous heart and does what he says what he will do. >> by the way, i like his beliefs. you hit on something right there, this ukraine stuff in this trial, this impeachment, this is about ukraine. donald trump is committed with to send in the eyes of the democrats, he beat the clinton in 2016 and second, he's fulfilling every promise he made and that's making his opponent apoplectic. they're trying to get him out of office. they will not succeed. >> they are not. california and it abortion coverage mandate requiring insurance companies to cover abortion in their policies, the president taking them straight on and having them notify that they are listing federal funding
7:54 pm
if they do not drop this provision. >> they are violating federal law, the amendment in doing this. this shows the hypocrisy of the left. they are not trying -- the trump administration is blocking women's access to abortion, they are simply saying offering policies that don't offer that olr people who choose to do it. when it comes to choice, the left is not for twice unless it's a choice of their liberal agenda. >> it is extraordinary. agree to which this president has moved this country, it's consciousness, its awareness of the great gifts of this nation, to think where we were three years ago, ronald reagan, are you better off than you were four years ago? we are, after three years with this man in office, this country is back on track to succeed in
7:55 pm
achieving its destiny, we are looking at extraordinary potentialities, whether it's in trade, in the direction of education, preserving life itself. it's a remarkable record the president has to take into november. if he didn't do anything more from now until election day. >> think of what it will be like after four more years. he's doing great, god is helping us and i believe we are going to have a resounding victory in november. >> well, i have several times this week said this, god is here. thank you so much. great to see you. stay with us, we'll be right back. ♪
7:59 pm
this is what congressman jim jordan said just moments ago, about the article dems pitiful case against the president. >> twenty-four hours, the fact is only spent on the president side. they been talking about it for months now. they say don't change, shows no quid pro quo. they have repeatedly said there was no pressure, no linkage of an investigation. ukrainians held up at the time w of the call and of course they took no action. they made no announcement of investigations.
8:00 pm
>> congressman jim jordan, that's it for us tonight. reminder to grab a copy of his new book, one of the art? from crack addict to ceo, we look forward to seeing you monday. have a great weekend. good night from new york. as dep up their opening remarks in the impeachment sham. one thing is clear. this was only about a grab. one big old giant power grab. the democrats don't know how to create a thriving economy. they don't understand economics. i would argue give, they have done with china or iran. they only understand one thing. power. they want and they intend to get it. fun it means trashing the constitution on which our great nation was built.
