[♪] lou: good evening, everybody. tonight we are bringing you the latest on the outbreak of the china coronavirus that killed at least 41 people and infected 1,000 others nationwide and around the world. while the virus is still spreading. right now the number of new cases beyond china is not particularly alarming. in the united states a second case has been confirmed. the patient is a chicago woman in her 60s. the centers for disease control said they are monitoring

potential cases of the coronavirus in 22 different states. they remain confident and optimistic about the relative slow pace of the disease. we'll have the latest for you 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 end of the opening arguments about it radical dimms. their lies and hate directed at the president who continues to surpass any president's record in his first three years in office. it appears most of the invective against the president motivated in most part by adam schiff and his lust for air time. the house managers have given schiff almost a third of the

allotted 24 hours. that means they won't have equal time with their leader who is still bloviating from the senate floor. it's surely an audition to replace senator feinstein if and when she were to decide to retire. the left-wing media is gushing over shifty schiff. >> i don't bleach:anyone thought it would be such passion from adam schiff. >> it was passionate, thoughtful, cogent, all those things. >> his emotional appeal to a sense of what's right. what is right for the country. >> i heard a powerfully

emotional direct statement to the senate. lou: they are referring to the senate. he said he doesn't trust the american people to decide who should be president in the 2020 election. tomorrow morning the president's defense team takes over. a weekend date the president has taken issue with. after having been treated unflair in the house and having to endure hour after hour of lies by shifty schiff, just like my lawyers will be forced to start on saturday which is called death valley on tv. the legal team is planning to hold a short session tomorrow, 3-4 hours long.

the bulk of their arguments will take place on monday and tuesday of next week. the radical dimms talking about joe and hunter biden. so the republicans will likely speak of the bidens' corruption. joining us tonight, one of the members of the president's legal team, congressman 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. we are in i guess you would call the final throes of the shifty schiff team. what do you make of what they have done over these last few days? >> the 24 hours of talk doesn't mean fact. the four facts that don't

change. no quid pro quo. president zelensky said there the was no pressure. the cranans said no aid was held up at the time of the call. and there was no investigation before they received the aid. i think it's indicating all thing adjectives used to describe chairman schiff's presentation. it reminds me of president reagan's quote saying it's not reviews that count, it's the box office. if he wins big, we have great candidates we are recruiting. if he wins big we can retake the house. we are helping recruit candidates. i think the president -- there is a good chance he wins in a

big way. lou: how many people in the house, how many republicans line up behind this president? what we have seen so far shows an unprecedented unification and unity within the party. are you surprised by it in the senate? >> i think we are. we have heard nothing, any republican senators wanting to vote for any of these articles or vote to bring in witnesses. and we haven't even brought in our case yet. you have seen no republicans break rank. we haven't put on our case yet which is so strong on constitutional grounds. the lack of due process in the house proceedings where we couldn't call any witnesses or

white house counsel there. lou: senator mcconnell says the session tomorrow will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run for several hours. what will happen in that period of time? >> i think they will lay out a framework for what they are going to present. we have been work the white house counsel. the strong constitution arguments they can make. obstruction of congress. obstruction of congress is what the founders called separation of powers. the unfair process that took place in the house. then they can argue the facts. what happened in that short time period when aid was being withheld. lou: to underscore the point you made at the outset of our

conversation 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 dimms trying to block his election or trying to overthrow his presidency. now we learn from the presiding grujt fisa court that two of the carter page fisa warrants have no predication. there was no basis in reason whatsoever to proceed against him. that means the courts were themselves complicit in the corruption pass well as the fbi and justice department. and we still don't have an accounting. >> not yet. the one thing -- we have been talking about this for two years. the only thing we got wrong with what took place with the fbi at

the fisa court, the only thing we had wrong was it was worse than we thought. we thought they only spied on two americans. it was four. we didn't know they lied to if the fisa court 17 times. we sent a letter to the judge. i hope we get the answers back that we put in the letter mr. meadows and i sent to him last week. what came out today showed how bad this was, and it shows impeachment didn't start july of 2019 with this phone call between president trump and president zelensky. it started in 2016 when they went to the fisa court and lied to the fisa court 17 times. lou: it's absolutely rancid. and it's still not resolved.

congressman jim jordan at the forefront of trying to make sure it is resolved and justice done. a second confirmed case of the deadly coronavirus in the united states has been confirmed in chicago. the virus also spreading into europe and two confirmed cases in france. there are 41 deaths in china. construction crews working in the epicenter of the virus, the city of wuhan, building a hospital for the patients. 33 million people and 1 cities are under -- and 12 cities are under lockdown. disney shuttingn down in shanghai.

director anthony fauci said the chinese are being more honest than they were ever in the past. >> i was there during the sars epidemic. this time around they are being transparent. lou: the mortality rate for the coronavirus is running at .03%. that's about the same as the h1n1 swine flu. but much lower than the recent outbreaks of other deadly viruses such as sars or mers. president trump make an appearance at the march for life today. pass for robert jeffress joins us next to talk about the president, the upon president

with the guts to appear in person and support the right to life. joe biden orders the left-wing media not to report facts. we'll take that with up with john solomon. stay with us. much more straight ahead. i'm your mother in law. and i like to question your every move. like this left turn. it's the next one. you always drive this slow? how did you make someone i love? that must be why you're always so late. i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise. my son, he did say that you were the safe option. and that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. so get allstate. stop bossing. where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. this is my son's favorite color, you should try it. [mayhem] you always drive like an old lady? [tina] you're an old lady. i've always loved and i'm still going for my best,

even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? sharing my roots. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you.

[♪] lou: on wall street today stocks closing lower. the dow fell 170 points. but well off the session lows. the nasdaq down 88. the savants telling us it was primarily because of concerns about the spread of the crone a virus. -- the coronavirus. we might have the expression by many wags in the business press, the fact that earnings have been somewhat disappointing. gold at $1,571 an ounce.

tesla's market cap surpassed $100 billion. tesla becoming the most valuable u.s. car maker ever earlier this year. listen to my reports coast to coast on the salem radio network. former vice president joe biden told a crowd in iowa that illegal immigrant children are more american than american citizens. >> these kids come, they have done well. most of these kids, there are a lot of them, and they are not just hispanic, they are asian pacific islanders as well and they have done very well. in many cases they are more american than most americans are. they have done well in school and believe the basic principles

we all share. lou: his campaign is trying to convince the national left-wing media to ignore claims of corruption. a memo from the biden campaign tells reporters to stay clear -- state clearly that they have been discredited and debunked by authoritative sources. biden claims he had no role in the firing. can he explain this video from 2018? >> he said with we are not going to give you the 1 billion dollars. if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.

son of a [bleep] he got fired. lou: joining us, the editor-in-chief of his new media outlet, "just the news. " what do you make of the giuliani campaign telling reporters not to believe their lying eyes. >> joe biden has been trying to censor this from day one. all the rhetoric in the world can't erase the facts on the ground at ukraine. he's not the victim of a smear campaign. he's not the victim of an unfounded conspiracy theory. he's the victim of his own failure to see that when he oversaw ukraine when his son worked with burisma, it seems

only joe biden doesn't seat wrongdoing in his conduct. lou: let's turn to an abc news report. former giuliani associate igor fruman reporting on a dinner in 2018 in which it's alleged the president said get rid of the former ambassador marie yovanovich. we are told that was turned over to investigators in congress. my question is, she wasn't fired until 14 months later. what in the world is the big deal here? >> early on when i wrote my story everyone said i was the reason she got fired. the concern of the ambassador and her stewardship of the embassy goes back a year before my reporting.

at the end of the day, the president is going to fire her because he didn't like the color paint she painted her office. it's a red herring. why was our embassy so incompetent that it couldn't fight this issue in ukraine. lou: why don't we understand what is clearly a dissident moment here. there is so much attention on her. and there was so much attention from the left. she had sponsorships from every corner. around her. and we don't understand -- i don't understand why. i haven't seen a written report of why. and it goes on. there has to be more to this story than any of us now understand. >> we know for sure the embassy

was funding a group that george sors founded. that should be a concern to us. the biggest thing that should concern america, every year we get a new ukrainian prosecutor. and they have done such a terrible job of rooting out corruption. they created a new court in september, they took immunity away from the parliamentary members in ukraine. donald trump forced the first real corruption reforms in ukraine that joe biden and barack obama never accomplished. lou: the radical dimms are bleating nonsense when they should have been talking about the president they put in the white house did nothing for

ukraine and watched silently as russia took over crimea. can you imagine what would happen if president trump had went in oval office when russia took crimea? >> while that was going on hunter biden was there greasing his pockets from a poor broken country after russia's invasion. $2 million a year. they think what hunter biden did was perfectly fine. lou: they are having trouble with their candidates. when talking about students not having to pay back their student loans, running into parents who had to work two jobs to do just

that and their children were also working to pay off their loans. john solomon, always delighted to have you with us. thank you so much. john solomon is the editor of "just the news." we urge you to find out what this new media outlet is all about. jeff bezos being played for a fool. federal prosecutors in manhattan have evidence that suggest bezos' girlfriend gave text messages to her brother that he sold to the fashion fall inquirer and then -- sold to the national even firer. the prosecutors are ease's getting whether "national enquirer" publisher american media attempted to extort bezos.

they are also investigating whether bezos' telephone was hacked by saudi arabia. up next here, the radical dimms rapping up their 24-hours of lies. it has taken days and days to get their story out. now it's the president's legal team's turn and we take that up with special advisor to the president, tony sayegh. president trump commends china for its steps in tackling the outbreak in china. we'll be right back. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchemel... cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance

mostly honduran migrants for illegally crossing into mexico from guatemala. they will be processed and sent back home. mexico says they are still searching for 200 people who are at large as they say. joining us tonight is christian whiton, stormer state department senior advisor in the trump and george w. bush administrations. sebastian gorka host of the program "america first." thank you both for being here. christian, let me start with you. the pentagon a -- announcing they are going to fight the ban against u.s. companies selling to huawei? they put out this sanctimonious

abstract argument about it? what is going on over there. >> huawei is if you look qualcomm and apple and put them together and put them under the control of the chinese party, that is what you would get. maybe throw the ns tax in there as well. they are a chinese company stealing technology from us and the free world. i think esper is off his rocket. but the real culprit is steven mnuchin. it's treasury objecting to any efforts to get tougher on china, north korea and iran. they are the ones that seemed to veto this new rule that would have changed the amount of foreign technology pane american

company could sell to huawei. lou: this defense secretary, say what you will about mnuchin, going on with his specious nonsense about orders of consequence that must be contemplated by effective leaders. what pompous bull. 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 you. up to now i have only heard good things about secretary i esper t now i have to seriously rye assess. his statement makes no sense. this regulation would have put a limit on how much american companies sell overseas to

huawei it's about securing supply chains for u.s. companies. that's backwards. they are selling to huawei. so even the statement is absurd on the face of it. christian is absolutely right. you have to understand huawei works for the interests of the communist party of china which is a primary strategic threat today. lou: why is there so much obvious conflicted thought here within the administration on whether huawei is a threat to u.s. national security or not? if it is not, trite as you would any other country, or company, chris. but if it is a threat to our national security, this is not something for the compromise of the board room, this is something to bring a hammer down

on, is it not? >> usually it's the state department making these ridiculous arguments. they spy on us and steal our secrets but we want to have good relations with china. it's the other part of government. pompeo and pence are on board. wilbur ross is on board with where the president wants to go. potentially mnuchin over at treasury. it's like the world is upside down. lou: wouldn't you like to be the defense attorney for the chief financial officer of huawei in vancouver in the proceedings against her for extradition to the united states? why should we extradite her? the secretary of defense says

it's not a problem. this is the kinds of nonsense -- this is a novel in american english. >> let me send a message to secretary esper. peter navarre so, lighthizer and the national security advisor for asia are all on the president's side. you know who understands the threat from huawei? donald, jonathan trump. lou: jonathan or john. lou: i will just go with donald trump, president of the united states. he's clear on the threat. lou: i think the problem is

sitting or there in the defense department coming up with really nonsensical pronouncements. tony sayegh next. stay with at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? 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. oh, your she's landed.ed. and she's on her way to our house. what. i thought she was coming next weekend. i got it. alexa. start the coffee. set the temperature to 72. start roomba. we got this... don't look. what? don't look. lets move.

chinese government is tackling the deadly coronavirus. it has infected 1,000 people nationwide. 2 cases in the united states. 41 have died in china. joe biden ordering journalists to blur the truth if not suffocate it over his involvement in the 2016 firing of ukrainian prosecutor viktor shokin. the radical dimms wrapped up their arguments on capitol hill allowing the president's team to begin presenting the president's side of all this. that's tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning eastern time. joining us now, special advisor to president trump, tony sayegh. let's tart with if we -- let's start with impeachment, the

legal team. the president was making it clear he didn't want to spend a lot of time in the death valley of tv time. >> we'll take a few hours tomorrow to outline our case. it is a strong case and i don't think we'll need to take the 24 hours the democrats have taken. they don't have a case. they are treating the trial asking a long infomercial. we'll respect it as a trial where you present facts and evidence succinctly to the senators. we believe the president has done nothing wrong. lou: everybody knows he has done nothing wrong. the american people know it. they paid attention to this nonsense the dimms spun up. adam schiff who is a professional, serial and amazingly committed liar has

been carrying his truck throughout. the american people are under no illusion. i love the fact that the president paid pat cipollone his attorney a great compliment talking about his passion and ordering and advocacy. it's terrific. cipollone has done a masterful job. >> he's an incredible litigator and jay sekulow. impeachment started back in september without nancy pelosi even calling for an inquiry vote which is the proper way to do it in the house. lou: i am stunned that pelosi, schiff and nadler would be involved in something that's not proper. i have to settle my nerves. >> on the 71st day they

invited the white house under their rules, giving up our right to executive privilege and due process to consider being part of their trial, their sham over there. it was clear they had no interest in our side. this was actually the first time you got to hear from pat cipollone and jay sekulow. tomorrow will be the first time we have to outline our case. when jerry nadler said to senators, you are complicit in a cover-up if you don't agree with the procedures. pat cipollone pointed out the real embarrassment is the way the house democrats treated the truth, the senate and the american people. lou: somebody called him a sleaze bag. jerrold nadler.

oh, that was the president. i thought the president has an elegant way of cutting through the nonsense and just getting to the point. nadler called the president a dictator. terrible, terrible. >> it's all hyperbole. that's why the democrats will fail. this is a political vendetta. lou: like the president, i like to pay attention to television in all of this. that's what shifty schiff is looking for. he's playing for air time. let's put up this graphic of what was going on. tuesday, 11 million people watching. then wednesday, 8.9 million. ominously, 7.8 million yesterday. not going their way, tony, not going their way. that's what you call a really

bad product that the dimms put on and the american people are saying enough. >> the american people stopped buying impeachment a long time ago. if you put it in the context of high-profile proceedings, here you are under 10. here is the problem if i can share the with you. pete buttigieg who is a democratic candidate for president. no one is asking him about impeachment on the campaign trail. the american people care more about the issues the president is standing up for them on. national security and making sure the united states is no longer taken advantage of which is part of the reason he was concerned about corruption in ukraine.

lou require apologize to you for whatever i have done. tony sayegh. president trump demonstrating why he is the most pro-life president in history and also the bravest in this issue without question. he becomes the first president in history, almost a half century of history to personally address the march for life rally in washington. pastor robert jeffress joins me on the other side. stay with us. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof! whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me.

[cheers and applause] lou: president trump 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. joining us is pasto pastor robes

rest, pastor of the first baptist church of dallas and fox business contributor. a big day in this country. the president of the united states at that rally for the first time in which that rally has been held in 47 years. we thought bush and reagan were supporters. but they were. h -- they were tepidcome fired . every democrat, everybody else running for president emraces this barbaric view of late-term abortion up until a child is born. that means anybody with a

describ -- witha scintilla of a. it's going to win him reelection. lou: people who after three years of this president, the most historic president in our country's history, in the first three years. there is no one who can touch what he has done in three years. for somebody, pastor or otherwise to be talking about his tweets is missing the point. when you look at what he has done in foreign policy, domestic policy, you name it. just to have the guts not to be intimidated by this national left-wing media that reduces most politicians and public figures to whining crying huddles of cowar cowardess.

it's refreshing to have a man in the white house who does what he says. >> i like his tweets. this ukraine stuff and this trial, this impeachment. this isn't about ukraine. donald trump committed two you be pardonable sins in the eyes of the democrats. he beat hillary clinton in 2016 and he's fulfilling every promise he made and that's make his opponents apoplectic. they are trying to get him out of office and they won't succeed. lou: california in its abortion coverage mandate requiring insurance companies to provide abortion. the president taking them straight on telling them they

are risking federal fund. >> they are violating federal law in doing this. this shows the hypocrisy of the left. the trump administration isn't blocking women's access to abortion. they are saying insurers ought to be able to offer policies that don't offer that. the left is not for choice unless it's for choice to follow their liberal agenda. lou: it's extraordinary, the degree to which this president has moved this country, the great gifts and exceptionalism of this nation to think where we were three years ago, you know, the question famously from ronald reagan, are you better off than you were four years ago. after three years, with this man in office, this country is back on track to succeed in achieving

its destiny. we are look at extraordinary potentialities, whether it's in trade or in the direction of education. or preserving life itself. it's a remarkable record this president has to take into november, if he didn't do anything more from now until election day. >> think what it will be like after four more years of this. he's doing great. god is helping us, and i believe we'll have a resounding victory in november, lou. lou: from your lips to god's ears. thanks so much. stay with us. we'll be right back. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchemel... cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. cut. liberty m...

lou: this is what congressman jim jordan on this broadcast said just moments ago about the radical dimms pitiful case against the president. >> 24 hours of talk doesn't change facts. the facts have always been on the president's side, no quid pro quo, president zelensky and president trump said there was no pushing of an investigation for the release of the dollars. ukrainians didn't note aid was held up at the time of the call and they made no investigations before they received the aid.
