monday. have a great super bowl weekend. trish regan is next. good night from new york. we should go. [♪] trish: tonight the senate all but assuring president trump will be acquitted. voting down a motion more more witnesses to testify. good evening, everyone. i'm trish regan. the dimms are o-3, mueller, kavanaugh, ukraine. meanwhile, the intrigue, right? >> russia, if you are listening, 2020 is open for investigation. this morning not only is the senate about to ready to acquit the president for interference in a foreign election.

the senate is saying it doesn't even want to hear all the evidence. >> this is a cover-up plain and simple. a fair trial needs witnesses. >> you need documents. the documents don't lie. trish: the sky is falling. right? these trump haters. they are shouting at the sky. they are blaming the universe on the one-year anniversary of trump's election. our nation has seen major policy successes, job growth, prison reform, the killing of the number of one and number two at isis. the killing of the leader of hes bow la. and one of the most central

issues. president trump: probably the biggest reason i ran was the unfair chain. china, mexico, canada, japan, south korea. trish: he knows how to get stuff done. and this ability to just plow through all the bullshit. has it ever managed to rattle the elites? i think it's ticked off the deep state at foggy bottom. career bureaucrats that never liked him in the first place are con sphierg get him out of office. we know about comey's fbi, we know about peter strzok and lisa page. but the latest revelation really reveals the level to which our national security council will go because they believe the president is wrong on

everything. >> did you ever lie to your country. >> i don't think so knowingly. but i'm able to spin things just like american politicians. >> you have would lie to preserve the truth. >> if i had to say something i knew was false to protect national security, i would do it. trish: remember those remarks from john bolton as i walk you through the timing of what just went down. things are not going well with john bolton. he screwed up venezuela. >> ambassador bolton looked pale, ijtd kaitd with body language there was nothing much he could do about it. and in the course of that discussion said rudy giuliani was a hand grenade pat was going to blow everyone up. trish: meanwhile, sean misko, an

nsc aide alongside john bolton joined adam schiff's committee staff in august a. august. the same day the whistleblower submitted his complaint. the same day the whistleblower met with adam schiff's staff. then the alleged whistleblower filed a complain. the whistleblower report goes public. and adam schiff does his victory lap. >> what we have seen already is damning. i found the allegations deeply disturbing. and i found them very credible. i want to thank the whistleblower. this whistleblower has already had a tremendous impact a

exposing wrongdoing by the president of the united states. we have note spoken directly with the whistleblower, we would like to. trish: only one problem. >> we have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. we would like to. trish: only problem is he did. his office had to follow up by releasing the following statement about the fact that they had talked with the whistleblower. the whistleblower contacted the committee on how to report possible wrongdoing within the jurisdiction of the intelligence community. you have the whistleblower who goes work for adam schiff and a whistleblower who works with adam schiff's team to file this whistleblower complaint. all as it's going down, john bolton is struggling with the president, eventually gets fired, then the whole thing gets

public as far as the whistleblower goes. and we haven't gone the to the nsc and joan bolton's book and how it got leaked. when adam schiff says stuff like this you need to take it with a grain of salt. >> the president withheld aid to ukraine to help him cheat in the election. what is note okay is to withhold foreign aid to cheept in an election. he's still trying to cheat in the next election. trish: remember where this is all coming from, right? this is adam schiff. when you talk about who is trying to cheat. that's who it is. the nsc oddly -- think about the fact they are they were around all of this from the beginning. comey, mueller, the doj. they were unsuccessful.

perhaps the nsc with john bolton's help thought it could reverse the will of the american voters. voters many believe were just so dumb they would vote for president trump. >> you could put half of trump supportersn into what i call the basket of deplorables. racist, sexist, exen oh foik, is latch phobic, you name it. you elitists with our geography and maps and reading. trish: the last laugh is going to be on them. justice is prevailing tonight. the president will be acquitted. it's over. it's done. and he has won. schiff, bolton, the whistleblower, they have lost. joining me, former deputy

national security advisor under president trump, kt mcfarland. one of the things you told me which i found fascinating is in one of your first meetings you met with all these deep state types, and you said look, this is what the president wants, they said no, this is our policy. and you said no this is what the president wants. walk me through that dichotomy, how challenging it was for him and his hand picked team members to drill down and effectively no motor his policies as opposed to the policies that had been in place. >> this is really the core of the issue. who is in charge. you said it well when you said 3 million people voted for donald trump to be president. they voted for him because they wanted to change direction. and what i think the people who were the professional governing

class in washington. the people i have written about in my new book, they can't accept that in 2016 the american people rejected them. and they can't accept the fact that donald trump carried out the policies he promised he would do. they were contrary to the deep state, the washington establishment career politicians. they now how to undercut and sabotage a president. their attitude is presidents come and presidents go. we are here forever. you can't fire them or reassign them. they have job security for life. know matter how well they do or what they do. that's the problem. trish: they think they know so much better, whether you are talking about comb yims team or the mueller investigation or

ukraine, there was an element there. and i suspect john bolton has his own issues and his own revenge. but there is an element there including at the nsc and state that had it with this president and they don't want him anymore. >> all the people you mentioned in your essay as you led into there is, they all worked for me. they are people i didn't want in the same room with me because i didn't now where they were -- i didn't know where they were going when they left the room. were they whispering in the ear of their favorite reporter. all they succeeded in doing was getting trump supporters energized and more supportive of the president. the media, they are irrelevant. you will never convince them

they were wrong. but they are increasingly becoming irrelevant as the ratings show. as john bolton, i think it will boowill -- will boomarang on hi. trish: do you think he had a hand tonight? >> i don't know about that. he didn't agree with the president for some policy reasons. and bolton has a certain arrogance about him as do a lot of these people do. they think they know bert and they don't think trump is very smart. and they are so wrong. the reason i think it booko d -- it boomarangs on bolton. he changed the architect of the

middle east. he stood up against china. the first president to do it. trish: tonight we have a primetime quiz. the top four largest american companies. they spell a popular american political slogan. can you guess wait might be? tweet me your answers. the slogan will be revealed. i think a lot of you might like it at end of the show. cnn injecting race into another place where it doesn't belong. >> he has emboldened white supremacists. >> that sounds like a certain leader that killed members of my family and 6 million other jews. >> he has given oxygen to racists.

trish: cnn is accusing president trump's coronavirus task force of not being racially diverse enough. is cnn going to fact check this? probably not. as the senate gets closer to an acquittal vote, nancy pelosi is saying the president cannot be acquitted. listen. >> he will not acquitted. you cannot acquitted if you don't have a trial. and you don't have a trial if you don't have witnesses and documentation and that. trish: did you hear that? >> he will not be acquit. you cannot be acquitted if you don't have a trial. trish: this is crazytown. this what happens when liberal fantasy world caves in on

themselves. they go into some sort of denial. my next guest will say the senate will have an acquittal vote and the dems will have to make peace with that. 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. sorry! he's a baby! of course i'd love to take an informal poll.

i used to be a little cranky. dealing with our finances really haunted me. thankfully, i got quickbooks, and a live bookkeeper's helping customize it for our business. (live bookkeeper) you're all set up! (janine) great! hey! you got the burnt marshmallow out! (delivery man) he slimed me. (janine) tissue? (vo) get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. the easy way to a happier business. his stylist browsed hundreds of styles for him so that tonight,. john could feel totally himself. let us find your perfect fit at stitchfix.com.

some people say that's ridiculous. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real. what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website.

trish: round one, game over. what's next? nancy pelosi says it doesn't count. what is she trying to do? bring to us the brink of a constitutional crisis? >> i don't know how they can

retain their lawyer status with the comments they are make. i think they disgraced themselves. you can't be acquitted if you don't have a trial. and you don't have a trial without witness and documentation and that. >> i think peaker pelosi is right. this can't be a real acquittal. >> no trial, no vindication. >> a trial without truth, without key evidence, without witnesses and documents would render the president's acquittal meaningless. trish: then you have the left insisting the president must be removed from office because if not, he's going to cheat on the upcoming election. >> for precisely this reason the president's misconducting not be decided at the ballot box. for we cannot be asured that the vote will be fairly won. trish: that's the next line of

attack. that's what's coming. we should not be surprised by any of this given what we know the left thinks of americans. >> when you wear that maga hat you are saying build that wall. >> the credulous boomer rube. >> your geography and maps and spelling. >> you can put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. >> if you vote for trump you are the bad guy. if you vote for trump you are ripping children from parents arms. trish: all that said, remember, this is what they do when it works to their advantage. they pretend to own the moral high grounds. like when they didn't want witnesses for bill clinton's impeachment trial.

joe biden said in 1999, in a number of previous impeachment trials the that reached the judgment that its constitutional role does not require it to take new evidence or hear live witness testimony. didn't need to do it then. don't need to do it now? joining me right now is california republican congressman, tom mcclintock. good to have you here. it's a double standard. he said one thing then and another thing now? >> a couple things. in all my years i learned wet other side is calling you names you know you are winning the argument and you know they know you are winning the argument. this business of the acquittal won't matter. in a sense they are right. in order to have an acquittal you have to have a crime. the house has charged the

president with no crime. that's the first question the senate has to answer. the constitution is very specific. treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. they haven't done that they made up two charges, abuse of power and obstruction of congress, neither of which is a crime. object trucks of congress means he was asserting his constitutional prerogatives that have been asserted by every president since george washington. the executive privilege assures the president has candid advice and is able to talk candidly. and abuse of congress, that's the 18th century term, maladministration. james madison said that could mean anything. that's the grounds for impeachment, then the president

is not a coequal branch. he's serving at congress' whim. if the senate accepted either of these charges it would be outside the constitution. trish: i love transparency. i would love to see an investigation into biden inc and the whole mueller thing and why it had to come about. i think there is there there and we should look into it. but that's separate from this one. you can't give it the time of day when they didn't have the decency to take it to a judge first place. then if the president said no way, then they might have had a leg to and on when it came to obstruction of congress. they never did that. >> before you get to evidence and witnesses, you have to have a crime.

if somebody hauls me into court and says we are prosecuting you for being a jerk, my response will be that's not a crime. that's where we are with this ole impeachment fiasco. trish: they lost this round and i are predict it will come -- and i predict it will come back to haunt them. pop quiz. to the four american companies, the biggest ones, they pell out a popular political american slogan. any idea what it is? tweet me. i can't wait. cnn says president trump's coronavirus task force isn't diverse enough. my next guest says viruses don't see race. more fallout from today's

crushing blow to the democrats dark impeachment fantasy. they are still brazenly lobbing lies. gaffey joe biden says this isn't a partisan impeachment process at all. it's not partisan? you have democrats in denial. >> why why why why why?

hi guys. this is the chevy silverado with the world's first invisible trailer. invisible trailer? and it's not the trailer right next to us? this guy? you don't believe me? hop in. good lookin' pickup, i will say that. oh wow. silverado offers an optional technology package with up to 15 different views - including one enhanced view that makes your trailer appear invisible. wow. - that's pretty sweet. - that's cool. oooohh! that's awesome. where'd the trailer go? i love it. it's magic.

>> president trump ignored the law and the constitution in order to gain a political favor.

>> the president's conduct violated our bribery laws as they were understood by the framers. >> the framers would have said the highest of high crimes against the constitution. trish: when are they going to stop lying? probably never because it's who they are. just consider what joe biden said about impeachment in 1998. >> even if the president should be impeached, history is going to question whether this was just a partisan lynching or something that in fact met the standard, the high bar that was set by the founders as to what constitutioned an impeachable offense. trish: now a reporter asks fit was wrong to impeach in 1998, why is it wrong now? watch biden's answer. >>
