presidency that we have to preserve. senator sanders and those would destroy that. liz: thank you for your service to our country. thank you for having us in your home. thanks for watching. lou dobbs is next. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody. the democratic party is in disarray after self-destructing in the iowa caucus catastrophe last night. the dimms unable the release any results from the caucuses last night. they blamed the failure on a faulty app that was supposed to be used to provide transparency to limb state in vote were confusion. coding errors that were made, coded by a technology company filled with veterans from hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, going back to the obama administration as well. the president seizing on the

radical dimms dysfunction, he tweeted there is. when will the democrats start blaming russia russia russia instead of their own incompetence for the voting disaster zwhrawft happened in the great -- that just happened in the great state of see you what. the it didn't stop pete buttigieg from claiming victory nor the bernie sanders camp from claiming victory. when the first results were released with 62% reporting, biewpt judge and sanders were -- buttigieg and sanders were in the lead. as the dimms reel, president trump ascends. the president receiving the largest reelection vote? iowa for any incumbent in the

history of the caucus. the president's success coming as he prepares for his third state of the union address tonight where his message will focus on the great american comeback. independent support is surging. his acquittal in the radical dimms' pathetic efforts to overthrow this presidency comes tomorrow. this president's accomplishments are unparalleled in american history and with a roster of achievements never before seen. president trump's address tonight will be another spring board to reelection. the president's administration is also keeping a focus on the deadly coronavirus. 23,000 people have been affected worldwide.

almost all of them in china. 492 peeled killed. one fatality in hong kong, one in the philippines. in the united states health officials say a child under quarantine at the march air reserve base in california was taken to the hospital with a fever. the child was evacuated wuhan, china on board an aircraft last week. federal officials the considering strict screening measures expansion at american airports. >> we are also look at maritime and land? ports of entry. not just airports of entry. lou: the first patient to test positive for coronavirus in america is doing bert.

he's recovering in isolation at his home. health officials are still monitoring him. joining us tonight is the secretary of health and human services, alex azar. great to have you with us. >> good to be with you, thank you. the coronavirus is obviously spreading in china. it is amongst other things troubling to many people to see that there are more people dying in china, there are also as we see johns hopkins reporting on those cured, that number is not moving up to even 5%. what is your feeling about the curate and the survival rate, if you will, and the mortality rate here. >> we are still learning about the disease's impact in china.

it's so important to get the chinese to agree to the world health organization. we have been requesting this since january 6. we are hoping the exphien ease will act quickly on that. we are seeing a flair rapid spread of this disease in china. it's hard to get a handle on the severity. we don't know how many people might be affected in china. we are hearing 23,000. but it could be many more who have smaller level symptoms and aren't presenting at the hospital. lou: is there intelligence on what the chinese are doing? is there intelligence on other countries, whether it be in southeast asia, europe, a con fir dense level you can ascribe to it about how many cases

actually are out there? >> at this point we have to take the chinese at their word on the reporting of 23,000 cases and 400 fatalities until we can get on the ground. but my message for the american people would be the risk to any american is really quite low. what president trump is doing is take appropriate steps to keep that risk low. those are the measures you talked about. lou: i'm trying to get to kind of bring it down from the 30,000-foot level and get to the point people are worried about. they are worried about whether we understand the incubation period. how it compares to flu and sars and swine flu and others. can you give us a sense of how confident the public health officials are that they understand the incubation period and the severity of it, whether

expressed by mortality rates? >> i understand your concern and questions there. the mortality rate, we are seeing about 2% mortality from the chinese reported data. but let's say there are 100,000 individuals. i don't know. 100,000 who are infected, but it's not a serious case and they have not presented at the hospital. it could be significantly lower. in terms of the incubation period. with the coronavirus we see a 2-4 day i cu -- incubation peri. but this is a new strain. we have to get to the bottom of what is the incubation period. historically with a respiratory

illness the big spread is not going to come from people who are not symptomatic. but we have to know more about that to make sure this is like past instances of the coronavirus. lou: while the american people understand from you and our president that the risks remain low, and how soon a vaccine is likely to be created and how soon effective anti-virals can be produced that are effective. >> just today i approved a first dying no next united states. within a move getting the genetic sequence from china. our geniuses at the cdc developed the diagnostic and it will be getting shipped out to 170 labs in this country to allow faster diagnosis and

valuation. we already have a candidate vaccine. it take a long time to work on a vaccine. months to get into clinical trials and manufacture production. i know you respect a great deal that tony fauci is thinking the year timeline. it's the tough measures the president put in place. we'll keep control our borders. use surveillance and use the best public health system. that's how we are standing on the front lines protecting the american people. lou: the president addressing the american people. the president said all along he wants healthcare to be a republican issue. and he has made it an issue. is he going to versus that as far as you know in tonight's

address? >> absolutely. he's going to take a victory lap on the incredible, historic steps he has taken on healthcare, bringing healthcare costs down and improving healthcare for all americans. he will talk about how he's delivering on his promise for a patient centric system that treats you like a human being, not a number. he will talk about ending the h.i.v. epidemic, solving chronic kidney disease, bringing drug prices down, and you will talk about how he's going to protect us from a socialized takeover of healthcare and making it better. lou: thanks so much. senator rand paul is sometimes a lonely fella. right now he's the only one in the u.s. senate with the courage

to speak out certain names, detime convention orthodoxy. senator paul is trying to understand why protections that do not adhere in law to whistleblowers have been extended to at least one individual who is believed to be a whistleblower. rand paul is the only senator raising the important issue of the public's right to know and the press' freedom to speak his name. here is senator paul earlier today. >> during the proceedings i asked a question that was disallowed. and i'm going ask that question again this morning because the constitution does protect debate and the asking of questions. i think they made a big mistake that allowing my question. my question did not talk about anybody who was a whistleblower. my question did not accuse anybody of being a whistleblower. it did not make a statement

believing somebody was a whistleblower. i simply named two people's names because i think it many important to know what happened. we are finding out the fisa investigation was predicated upon 17 lies by the fbi, by people at high levels biased against the president, and it turns out it was an illegitimate investigation. everything they did was untrue and abused government to do something they never should have done in the first place. lou: senator rand paul. and we'll take up his view as to why these answers are so important. we'll have that later in the broadcast. we would like to you vote in tonight's poll. do you believe the american people have the right to know the name of the so-called whistleblower. cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs tonight. still ahead, the radical dimm impeachment farce is scheduled to end tomorrow. will it? we'll be talking with a member

market value nearly double what it was. ford losing $20 billion. an unsuccessful relaunch of the ford explorer. 2020 radical dim candidate andrew yang has found a way to blame president trump for the dimms' caucus catastrophe in iowa. he tweeted this. it might be helpful to have a president and government that understands technology so this sort of thing doesn't happen. it may be helpful for the democratic party to perhaps understand how to code, to test the phone lines that were linked to ex-hillary clinton campaign staffers.

it would help if the democratic party knew what they were doing. they can't blame this on just the democratic party in iowa. this was a reference and a group of national dimms having their way with technology and technology precip pro kaitd last night. -- technology reciprocated last night. not many people i talked to can explain what the numbers mean to the outcome of last night's caucus. the department of homeland security offered to test that app for national security issues and the dimms declined. senate majority leader mcrd called the radical dimms' impeachment articles incoherent.

>> we must vote to reject the house abuse much power. vote to protect our institutions. vote to reject new precedence that would turn the framers' design to rubble. vote to acquit the president of these charges. lou: joining us tonight, house minority leader kevin mccarthy. let me start with -- you have been out in iowa with a whole lot of folks. this is one of the most amazing pictures. we'll have it later in the products cast, i'm assured. that picture of you guys on the airplane with your keep america great hats is amazing i have to believe you are not mourning as you watched the dimms go off a

cliff in iowa. your thoughts about what they did and whatever else occurs to you. >> they have no one to blame but themselves. it's like they used hillary clinton's server and bleached the results. i wondered why. you had joe biden see you what to himself the last two weeks and he couldn't put it away. you had bernie sanders a democratic socialist leading. mayor pete in his own city he couldn't get re-elected mayor. and elizabeth warren in third and biden in fourth. here is a president with the united states-mexico trade agreement. the agreement with china. dealing with the middle east. look at the current numbers for

republicans and his own approval rating and much higher than where barack obama was at this time. this president will get re-elected because he kept his promises and did what he said he was going to do. lou: if ever a person were made for the job, that's this president. let me ask you this. the democrats as they are demonstrating ineptitude, and obviously not great familiarity with the technology they want to use, this is a party that is simply it seems disappearing before our eyes. they have 12 candidates, six of them in the iowa field, now new hampshire field if one could keep up. where are they headed? what are they doing? >> they are lost. and they keep changing their rules because they do not want

to have bernie sanders become their nominee. just like they did last time. now they are letting bloomberg on the stage without having to raise money? they didn't do that for tom steyer when he joined. they will do anything they can to stop bernie sanders. i was in iowa. the intensity level for republicans, president trump got a bigger turnout that any record before for any president running for reelection. they didn't mess up on that reporting. 97%. democrats will never come back to iowa because they have no chance of winning. lou: there is considerable curiosity about the sequence of events, holding the senators in washington for four weeks. giving the field to whoever wanted to take it. and he didn't, according to 62%

of the returns. i don't know what the other 32 are going to say. it looks like for all the world the democratic party is conspiring against bernie sanders, for crying out loud. first we see "the des moines register" poll disappear because of irregularities. then they can't produce the results from the caucus which they have been preparing literally for years it looks like the democratic party without protest is being taken over by bloomberg, at least the democratic national committee, and not even the candidates are protesting. >> they are always up for sale. remember what happened four years ago. the chairperson of the party, debbie wasserman-shultz had to resign the night before their convention because it became public how they were deleting

bernie sanders. it's interesting nancy pelosi held his paperwork and didn't send it to the senate when she was in such a rush to do it. the poll didn't come out and the results didn't come out. how could anybody looking at this think this party could run the country. then we have a president protecting us from the virus. making our country the strongest it's been in 50 years. lou: the president is going to address the state of this union which because of him, i can guarantee he will say something on the order of the state of the union is strong. what do you expect? >> this is what i expect. while the democrats boycott, this president will unite this nation and so them the next century is ours. we have never been stronger. the reason we are stronger is

$policy. he believes in putting america first. lou: congressman, we appreciate it. i know you are looking forward to tonight's address. have a great evening. thank you for being with us. president trump's approval rating soaring as he prepares for his third state of the union address. we take that up with the savant, ed rollins. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wherever we want to go, we just have to start. autosave your way there with chase. chase. make more of what's yours.

[♪] lou: the organization campus reform recently asked college students to react to what president trump will say in his state of the union speech. but here is the catch. the president isn't addressing the nation until tonight. the quotes were actually from democrats and these are the students responses. >> quote, the other side is

going to put y'all back in chains. >> that's inappropriate. that's racist. >> that's horrendous. >> we should get a new president. >> the president's success will be southern whether north korea can eliminate nuclear weapons. >> he's irrational. lou: they were surprised finding out the author of those remarks were democrats. president trump enjoying the highest approval ratings of his presidency. his approval among republicans is 94%. 63% of americans approve of his handling of the economy, the highest any point in the last two decades. i think it's safe to say a tough

day for the democrats, starting with the dimms caucus catastrophe that started last night and is extending into this evening. now never trump erbil kristol has joined the radical dimms. he's now a democrat. kristol tweeted this. not presumably forever. not perhaps for a day after november 3, 2020. not in every issue in every way. but for the time being, one has to say we are all democrats now. lou: no, that's not true, bill, but thank god you are. joining us former reagan political director, ed rollins. would you like to give kristol a good-bye hug? >> i don't think so. he was the master minds of the

dan quayle presidential race who ran 8th in the straw poll and dropped off before any delegates were chosen in iowa. no loss. he was a good guy but didn't have good strategy. lou: the trump approval rating 49%. everything that you can think of, the proverbial kitchen sink has been thrown at this man by the democrats. the deep state, the nation's enemies abroad, and he prevails and wins and wins. >> and will continue to win. he now has an extraordinary record to run on, voters who voted for him the last time, he went on to accomplish those things. my sense is he's getting very strong. the democrats are in total disarray.

i will give him a little bit of advice. if you want to have a side caucus. i spent a lot of time in iowa and they are nice people. you come in, you sign who you want on a piece of paper and county. if you are a biden supporters you get to be a bind supporter. lou: they probably lost see you what's caucus. >> it's a big money deal for them. $70 million in television buys were spent in that state. lou: the democratic national committee are the ones who forced this on them. now they being iowa's democratic party are paying the price for the stupidity of the dnc and the contractor they promoted to the iowa state party. >> the reality is i feel sorry for the people in iowa who

worked very hard. but it's a disaster and a national disgrace. lou: the state of the union tonight. this president, do you expect him to -- what do you expect? >> i think he will talk about his record. he has an extraordinary opportunity here to pretend the people in the audience who voted against him aren't there. just talk to the merit can public. don't speak to their level. another show no pain. this is what we have done. while you have been trying to take me down, this is what i accomplished. lou: the contrast is clear. while's taking the high road and achieving historic rates, he has quite a story to tell

tonight. up next, more from senator rand paul's defense of free speech and the public's right to know. you wouldn't think in the 21st century we would have to review our constitutional rights.

at least not all of them. the dimms are blaming a dysfunctional app. there were a host of reasons they are offering, but we still don't know. we don't know how they put the numbers together. but we have 62% of the reporting. the race is too close to call so we are not going to call it. more coronavirus deaths. chinese health officials are reporting 23,000 people have been infected worldwide, almost all of them in china. 492 people killed, almost all of them in china. mcconnell called the left's sham articles of impeachment.

senator rand paul speaking to the reasons to raise issues of free speech and honesty and insist that constitutional rights be recognized and enforced. senator paul. >> think about the danger to democracy letting your government apartment phones of people you disagree with politically. i don't care whether it's republican or democrat. we can't let the intelligence community's secret towards like the fisa courts to go after political campaigns. we need to change the rules. we cannot have secret courts trying to reverse the elections. i feel strongly about this. i was for this reform before donald trump came on the scene, before any of this happened. i have been for having more significant restrictions on

these secret courts. more significant restrictions on the intelligence community to make sure they don't abuse the rights of americans. this is a big deal. if there is going to be some positive aspect to having to go through this nightmare we have been through in the last several months or years now, the blessing and disguise here would be that we reform the system so this never happens to anyone else ever again. lou: joining us is robert ray. you will recognize him as a member of president trump's defense team. former federal prosecutor, former independent counsel for the whitewater investigation. it's great to have you with us. congratulations on a job well done. >> thank you. we are not quite there yet. but the expectation is tomorrow afternoon at 4 alread -- at 4:0l know.

the only suspense is whether democrats will joint republicans in voting no on the articles of impeachment. lou: senator collins and murkowski saying they will vote against impeachment. senator romney wasn't paying close attention to any of you as you went through the law, the facts, and the urgency of defending the constitution. >> senator mitch mcconnell reemphasized the point that we have been trying to make as a factual and legal matter and constitutional matter, that exclusively partisan impeachments are not legitimate our system. that's why it represents a dangerous proposition. lou: i think you did so spend

didly in d did so splendidly. >> it seems like it got through to the american people. lou: the american people didn't need to be persuaded i don't believe on this issue because they know this president has been hounded throughout his presidency. there isn't a single day we can find that he wasn't under investigation by the fbi, about it justice department, the special counsel, a congressional committee. it's appalling what this man has had to deal with. >> the president's point all along, because that has happened, the public has come to understand how dangerous that is, and the president's point, most importantly that it should never happen to another president again. lou: i love senator mcconnell's remarks about

constitutional incoherence on the part of the left to even couple these two articles which you and the rest of the legal team, you tore them to pieces. without the crime necessary to be a high crime and misdemeanor, without reference to the constitution, making up this nonsense of abuse of power and obstruction of congress. it's just mindless to see what they did. then not to have as nancy pelosi recognized historically and promised she would do as speaker, have a bipartisan approach or not have one at all. >> her words last year, early last year were that impeachments have to be overwhelming, compelling and bipartisan. whatever your views about what the democrats came forward with in terms of evidence, about the phone call and the connection

between foreign aid and these investigation, if that's the best they can couple, even if that part was established as being overwhelming, it clearly was never compelling because it didn't charge crimes and it was never going to be a i partisan effort -- was never going to be a bipartisan effort. that's what gifts legitimacy -- that's what gives it legitimacy. lou: as the president put it directly. he didn't do anything wrong. and furthermore he didn't do anything that most americans wouldn't want him to be doing as president of the united states. >> i love the fact that democrats hang a case around the fact because the president engaged in what they decide is and and errant bei high year

that's standard. >> thank you for having me as always. lou: great to see you. robert ray. up next, the new steps finally being taken by our government to replace huawei equipment. we take it up with peter navarro. your mom just texted. she is on her way to our house. what? i got it. alexa, start roomba. the lexus es. eagerly prepared for the unexpected. lease the 2020 es 350 for $389 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. lease the 2020 es 350 for $389 a month for 36 months. ♪ ♪
