6:04 pm
pass. republicans think there should be consequences for democrats because of impeachment. i asked house speaker nancy pelosi about that this morning. when you hear that rhetoric from the white house, these types of environments, what does that make you think? >> i think they should rein in their comment because what they're saying is, there will be payback to us for upholding the countstution of the united states. reporter: there was a vote on the house floor today to try to sanction house speaker nancy pelosi for how she conducted herself during the state of the union speech, ripping up the president's address afterwards. democrats moved to table that republican opportunity there. you know house speaker nancy pelosi and democrats are trying to figure out what's next. the question how do they balance doing legislation or do they do additional investigations? there is kind of an impeachment hank over right now in washington, when it comes to these investigations, pelosi said democrats quote we'll continue do oversight, when it comes to issuing a subpoena for john bolton, there are no plans
6:05 pm
to do that at this time. liz? liz: chad pergram, thanks so much for the update. as chad was just reporting, democrats nancy pelosi, adam schiff, jerry nadler, they're also still berating and attacking senate. democrats out with a new "washington post" op-ed, no vindication for trump in the senate. media in washington still coming to grips with this, the president is running the news cycle and it looks like it is moving on. at the time's laak about it with former federal prosecutor katy cherkasky. he is tearing into his opponents. he is dominating messaging. dan henninger of "the wall street journal" says he almost blocks out the sun. >> president trump definitely ended this thing much better than when it all began. he probably has good reason to celebrate at this point. liz: i would like your reaction to democrats and the media lashing out at the senate acquittal. watch this. >> he will not be acquitted. you can't be acquitted if you don't have a trial. you don't have a trial if you
6:06 pm
don't have witnesses and documenttation an that. >> the president's acquittal will be meaningless. there will be a permanent asterisk next to the acquittal of president trump written in permanent ink. the elections may not have a fair result. the very charge goes to the fairness of our elections. >> actually quite scary. i think we're in a very scary moment. liz: the rhetoric, katy, your opinion, you're out there, you have a close eye on what americans think. you wonder whether all of this will cost the house democrats 31 moderate seats, those that, officials who are up for election in districts that the president won in 2016? maybe could lead to a gop sweep of the house this fall. you wonder, look at polls. the voters are split. they don't really like the rhetoric either. go ahead. >> absolutely. it is really convenient for the democrats to come out with talking points to berate the process because it didn't turn out the way they wanted.
6:07 pm
senate has authorities to make rules, as far as additional witnesses and if there is not anything relevant coming to light there is not a point to endlessly conduct those sort of hearings. this could really cost them in the elections, i agree with that. liz: to your point about trump 2.0 re-election, facing impeachment 2.0. john king says double "jeopardy" does not apply in politics. mining they could do it again. there is criminal investigation, civil litigation. congressional injuries. they want mueller probe grand jury materials. nancy pelosi says she prays for the president. the president shot back at a prayer breakfast saying he doesn't believe that. here is nancy pelosi's response. watch. >> he is talking about things that he knows little about, faith and prayer. it is also an act of kindness he looked to me like he was a little sedated. he looked that way last year too. but he didn't want to shake hands. that meant nothing to me. liz: your reaction?
6:08 pm
>> some people just never know when to say die. i don't think this is gaining any points for for nancy pelosi or democrats in general and i think at this point for election purposes they really need to move on from these topics. liz: the president was very clear about his feelings on the trump russia probe. watch this. >> we were treated unbelievably unfairly. you have to understand, we first went through russia, russia, russia. it was all bull [bleep] liz: you're reaction? >> he has good standing to say that at this point. he has been through a lot. the democrats have come up with basically nothing. so at this point he has all the right to say he has been acquitted. obviously acquitted, maybe even exonerated. liz: did the mueller probe result in conviction of individuals, right? >> absolutely -- liz: but no collusion. no evidence of collusion? >> sure.
6:09 pm
and there was things that took place as far as the way that people spoke to investigators and kind of underlying issues that didn't deal with actual collusion by any means. so was it important to look into it? maybe initially but i think it got taken way too far and it never materialized into anything that the democrats really wanted to find. liz: katie, what is really interesting, washington insiders are calling it the trump bump. it is unexpected. no one saw this coming. trump may have the electoral momentum. polls may find even bigger trump bump from the confluence of the iowa caucus meltdown, strong state of the union, acquittal, personal best in gallup approval ratings at 49%. your final word? >> looks like everything really really converged to president trump's democrats at this point. democrats lost a lot of momentum they were hoping to bain through the process. that is good news for the president. liz: good to see you. come back soon.
6:10 pm
>> thank you, liz. liz: there is a big escalation in the brand new fight breaking out between the trump administration and sanctuary states. here's what's going on. homeland security blocking new york residents from filing new applications for expedited airport screenings. it is called globe entry. why? because of new york sanctuary laws. new york democrat governor andrew cuomo slamming this, saying political retaliation. bryan llenas with more. reporter: liz, effective immediately all new york resident essentially will not longer be able to enroll, reenroll in the trusted traveler programs like global entry, century, fast and nexus and tsa precheck is not expected by all of this. acting homeland security secretary chad wolf says that the move is a direct result of new york's new green light law which allows undocumented immigrants to apply for drivers licenses. the law also prevents federal
6:11 pm
immigration officials from assessing or accessing any dmv information without a court order. wolf says i.c.e. relies on dmv information for most of their arrests in new york and without that information they can't thoroughly do their job to vet applicants for travel programs. >> i.c.e. uses that, investigating criminal networks, they're using personal data from the database to look up an individual's date of birth, their photo. they're using that as they build that case. they can no longer do that because of what new york did. reporter: today new york governor andrew cuomo attacked president trump calling this latest move, quote, ludicrous, a political stunt meant to fuel his base and force the state to change its sanctuary policies, shielding undocumented immigrant from deportation. >> this unbounded arrogance. disrespect of the rule of law, hyper political government, and
6:12 pm
this is another form of extortion. reporter: meanwhile, 21-year-old riaz khan was arraigned this morning in queens for rape and murder of a 92-year-old woman. khan is in the u.s. illegally from guyana. six weeks before the murder he was arrested for assaulting his father and was then released. president donald trump during state of the union mentioned this. mentioned that new york's sanctuary laws are to blame for that murder. liz? liz: bryan, thanks so much for your reporting. come back soon. we'll have more with texas republican congressman brian babin later this hour. next we break to you, the heart-breaking story of the whistle blowing doctor in china who tried to save lives, by warning, he was one of the first to warn about the deadly coronavirus on the move. he died after contracting it. he was harassed and silenced by

coronavirus out of china to turn into a worldwide pandemic. it is in 28 countries. it is highly contagious. the speed of its spread around the world, breathtaking. more than 28,350 cases and 565 people now dead. fox news's jonathan serrie joins us from atlanta. jonathan? reporter: the centers for disease control and prevention is sending test kits to public health departments around the country and internationally to speed up detection of the new coronavirus. >> anyone who has a confirmed coronavirus, their close contacts need to be evaluated and monitored. reporter: 12 confirmed cases in the u.s. most recent, traveler returning from china. recovering in i.c.e.lation. bill and melinda gates pledged $100 million to enhance efforts to fight the outbreak. in china a infant born to an infected mother in wuhan tested
6:18 pm
positive for the virus despite efforts to immediately isolate the child. other babies have tested negative. further stud needs to determine whether the virus can spread from the mother to the child in the womb. in japan, 20 passengers in a cruise ship moored in yoke can hama port. the state department continues to evacuate u.s. travelers to wuhan, bringing them to u.s. military bases for 14-day quarantines. >> they are not being restricted to the rooms. we're asking them to have social distancing. reporter: 540 patients were here. six were taken to hospitals for testing developing fevers or cost. one child tested negative for the virus. an official who reported early alarm for the outbreak, acquired
6:19 pm
the virus from his patients. they told the associated press that dr. lee young died. liz: dr. lee yuan, whistle blowing doctor, one of first trying to save lives by announcing the alarm. he was silenced and harassed by authorities in china. he passed away after contracting the coronavirus himself. let me bring in my next guest, former assistant secretary of state un-bush 43. he is robert charles. great to see you, first. this puts d.c. fighting in perspective. imagine a doctor in the u.s. getting arrested, harassed by the government. we ask owl your guests do you think china is covering this up? >> i think china did probably underestimate and underreport. they have a history of doing that. i also think caution and containment is always smart. but so is perspective. you mentioned a minute ago. you had 28,359 cases, of that
6:20 pm
365 or 465 dead. that is roughly 2% and if you go by comparison to the united states, just our flu numbers in a given year, in the 2019, 2020 season right now you have total of 140,000 cases hospitalized, that is 8200 dead. that is the ones that get in the hospital by the way. we have to keep perspective here. china underreports but i don't think this is sars and i don't think this is merz. liz: we're looking at a live map from johns hopkins university. you can see the spread of it. still no answers how it started. in other words, it was thought to be a cross speech sis from animal live markets. we had the debate those things should be outlawed because they are behind pandemics. "lancet" medical journal in great britain estimated 76,000 people in wuhan may be infected. china is likely underreporting, listing case as new --
6:21 pm
pneumonia. tencent, briefly listed 150,000 cases, nearly 25,000 deaths. that is about a month or so time. this thing is likely bigger. we're also talking about southeast asia censorship in broad number of countries in southeast asia. we're talking, let's see it. malasia, india, thailand, indonesia, thailand. people are getting arrested for putting up information on social media. a difficult story, sir. your reaction? >> china is a communist country. they fudge their numbers on everything from their economic reporting to their medical reporting. so i don't underestimate that for a second. i also think the truth generally will out, and will will out in some countries you mentioned. if you look at the proportions. these have mild symptoms. most are closer to the cold than pneumonia. even the state department and cdc and w.h.o. indicate fatality
6:22 pm
rates are very small. my caution, as much as we should doubt china, take precautions an contain. we need to remember perspective is important here. and the biggest impact of this will be just like with the common cold, economic impact. the common cold causes roughly $20 billion in loss as year. i wouldn't be surprised to see impact here in the first quarter. liz: understood. this is virus putting stress on already besieged system. treasury secretary steve mnuchin says he doesn't see china having any issues fulfilling the phase one trade deal. we're seeing basically u.s. companies talking about this in their warnings for their forecasts. adidas, disney, yum! brands, ralph lauren, tapestry, standard charter says the coronavirus is a black swan event. wall street is on it. you're final word? >> i think it could be a black swan event, a quarterly invent or maybe yearly impact but not

6:28 pm
debacle. reports indicate, also this. >> bernie's side saying rival democrats are potentially behind that iowa voting app. mike tobin is in des moines, iowa with more. mike. reporter: liz, things are just not convoluted enough. now you have the iowa state chair and the national chair conflicting with each other. there was a tweet that just came after 11:00 a.m. from dnc tom perez saying enough is enough. in light of the problems that emerged in the implementation of delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results i'm calling on the iowa party to recanvas. paper records sent my snail mail. reliance on a smartphone app which had not been subject to stringent testing. the chairman of iowa's democratic party responded they need to finish the original caucus tally. any request for recanvassing needs to come from the campaigns
6:29 pm
itself. if that request comes, the iowa democratic party is prepared. senator bernie sanders says iowa vote remembers the ones getting the short end of the deal here. >> that screwup has been extremely unfair to the people of iowa. it has been unfair to the candidates, all of the candidates. and all of their supporters. reporter: now with the original vote count or caucus count i should say, 97% of the precincts have been counted. with the score that counts, is, with the state delegate equivalents, pete buttigieg hold as very narrow lead. with the popular vote bernie sanders has a very narrow lead. thethe state of nevada is also a caucus state. they have got that coming up. they look what happened with the app used in this caucus.
6:30 pm
they dumped the app. they're scrambling to come up with a new way to tally the votes. liz, back to you. liz: who would have thought we would be here. mike tobin, thanks for your great reporting my friend. good to see you. as mike reporting, caucus chaos. this is the big story hitting democratic campaign. the democrats need powerful policies to convince voters especially in the swing states to change horses midstream and not vote for the president in solid economy. we showed you the history. incumbent do not lose in strong economies. we have more bad headlines coming in for bernie. now "the los angeles times" joins other major news organizations saying battleground voters don't want bernie's single-payer plan. bernie sanders's 2016 campaign manager, simone sanders, senior advisor to joe biden. she says bernie's socialism cannot beat president trump.
6:31 pm
let's bring in my next guest, federalist editor, christopher bedford. your reaction to all that. >> the democratic party and press that enabled them playing ftse with socialists and radicals since the barack obama years. they let them in the tent. they want their energy. the problem they face here right now that barack obama exited the world stage is the most energetic portion of the democratic party are those radicals, are those socialists, young and old supporting bernie sanders. i understand, and i think they're correct, those policies are not doing well in the rust belt, the blue wall they call it, some states democrats are to rely on if they want to beat donald trump but that doesn't mean bernie sanders doesn't have the ability to win this nomination. it might be a little too late for them. liz: understood. the labor union vote in the battleground states, they have higher health care coverage rates than the national average. they have less uninsured than the national average. they will not like single payer. we keep hearing this analysis, chris. i would like your take on this.
6:32 pm
that voters feel the economy is unfair against them. but then stories show voters don't want these big government fixes that sanders is selling. kaiser health polls found same result. battleground voters don't want it. >> there is a little bit of schizophrenia with voters on some of these issues, they say, yeah, do you want free health care? of course i do. do you know how much it pays? maybe i haven't considered that. they have not begun to be the level of political advertising on what these proposals from bernie sanders would cost. but to the economy, liz, my worry here, that bernie sanders will make the skiddish stock market start to panic if he gets near the nomination. if they think a socialist can win, they might actually start to sell, sell and pull out of the economy, triggering recession just in time for the election. not good news. liz: wall streeters are saying, grab for your wallet, run for the basement. a bunch of hedge fund managers, leon cooperman saying that.
6:33 pm
president trump's re-election victory starts this week. look at "the washington post" headline there. dueling analysis about joe biden and it has to do with the african-american voter. chris, we tabulated the african-american voter correctly called the presidential winner nailed it four out of the last seven times. watch joe scarborough on this and cnn's van january. since knit 92, watch this scroll move up, four out of seven times since 1992. now, chris, the problem here for democrats, they did not turn out in 2014. the african-american vote historically, that rate of drop was, we hadn't seen that rate of drop in a generation in 2016. watch this analysis. take a listen. >> if he loses two races, suddenly these candidates that block voters in south carolina were not looking at, that would provide joe biden the firewall,
6:34 pm
suddenly they will start looking for other options. >> we got to wake up, folks. this whole bubble thing goes on. he said s-hole nations all black people will hate him forever. that ain't necessarily so. you may not like my rhetoric, look at my results, look at record, to black people. if he narrow casts that, it will be effective. liz: i've been studying this. look at breakdown county to county in the battleground, african-americans are ones who provide margin of victory. the president was loading up the state of the union with a lot of positive things that appeal to the african-american voter. final word, chris. >> van jones is one of only honest commentators on that to call that out. between historically black colleges, tuskegee airmen, other initiatives, alice johnson and others released from prison donald trump broke into the black vote and other democrats taken for granted and not
6:35 pm
followed through with promises through the years. that starts a to add up. liz: opportunity zones. chris, thank you. >> thank you. >> expanding their probe of biden conflicts of interest in ukraine. democrat as impeachment backfiring on the party and joe biden. iowa results, biden dropping to fourth. the story next. ♪
6:39 pm
♪. liz: well it appears the impeachment fallout is now hitting the biden campaign. joe biden drops potentially fourth in iowa. two powerful senate republicans are now expanding their probes into the bidens conflict of interests in ukraine. bring in conservative commentator kristen tate. she has a new book out. "the liberal invasion of red state america" she is a great writer.
6:40 pm
homeland security chair ron johnson, sent a letter to the secret service. they want hunter biden's travel records. >> the latest efforts if biden used government sponsored travel to conduct business overseas. more bad news for joe biden, who was at one time the defacto front-runner in the democratic primary but has now become a long shot candidate. in 2013 hunter rode on air force two with his father to china. not long after a string of transactions that benefited his firm bhr. he was onboard of burisma, a ukraine based company, where he pulled down $50,000 a month even though he no qualifications for that job. his father was vice president and serving as point person between the u.s. and ukraine when you look at the facts this must be investigated. people are having questions about this. ultimately the democrats impeachment effort are blowing
6:41 pm
up in their faces. donald trump is acquitted. now the biden's questionable overseas dealings are front page knew. liz: these shorts are not letting up. grassley, johnson, sent letters to the treasury department, state department, national archives. we know the obama administration, they were getting complaint, state department officials during that time were worried about the conflicts involving hunter biden at burisma. go ahead. >> right and what's funny, so many americans did not even know about the story and this conflict of interest until the impeachment. now everybody's talking about it and there are so many legitimate questions here. just for reference in 2018 burisma reported about $400 million in revenue while exxonmobil reported $20.8 billion. yet the board members of exxon made half of what hunter biden was pulling down from burisma. media this whole time has been working pretty hard to downplay
6:42 pm
the accusations. they're saying republican concerns are based on conspiracy theories floated by trump but as the facts come to light, the media will not be able to down play this much longer. this is another reason why so many people don't trust many of the mainstream media journalists out there today. liz: to your point, hunter gets hired at burisma. the uk then opens up a fraud unit investigation into burisma, potential money laundering within weeks of hunter getting hired there. you know this is about allegations of getting political cover for burisma in washington, d.c., as these corruption probes were exploding. thanks for joining us. ran out of time there. so sorry. we'll have you back. kristin tate. coming up just ahead we're digging into government footnotes. more on how the hillary clinton campaign ma think lated the fbi to lawn the russia probe, but after hillary lost quickly tried

sounds like a jam-packed show. great stuff. republican lawmakers blast fbi director christopher wray's attempts to reform the fbi after the fbi fisa court abusing spicing on the trump campaign. >> the what this is way in this report is way past constructive criticism that was a major royal screwup. i'm concerned you're not taking this serious enough. are you taking it serious enough? >> i'm telling you the fbi reputation here in washington cannot be cleaned up until there are people that are held to account for the unacceptable actions here in washington? liz: joining me now former fbi assistant director danny coulson. great to see you. >> thank you. liz: the fbi lied or misled at least 17 times getting fisa court wiretaps. did you hear this, republican jim jordan is talking about a new advocate position at the fisa court that would send transcripts of fisa proceedings
6:49 pm
to congress? >> that is all bad ideas. fisa worked for 40 years. until james comey came in with deceit, deception and problems with the constitution we had problems. we don't need an advocate at fisa court. congress considered that when they passed the legislation and rejected it. we don't need to send transcript to congress about wiretap intercepts. we've seen awful things take place with our congress and i don't think we want to put them in the investigative process on terrorism matters. it is a bad idea. let directorway do his job. let durham do his job. everybody associated with the fisa disaster has been fired or under political investigation. be a little patient here. i'm a little impatient myself, i will tell you. i want this resolved. let durham do his job. if there is criminality, let's prosecute the guys. we'll see what happens. liz: danny, this is the other story we're tracking. the doj watchdog report has
6:50 pm
information about the clinton campaign manipulating the 2016 election. does say funded by dnc, the campaign getting fbi launched, the fbi mistakes, misleads, uses as probable cause to spy on the trump campaign. remember it wasn't verified. after hillary loses election, hillary and democrats make make a push to get rid of electoral college. watch this. >> do you think the electoral college be abolished? >> i would like to see it eliminated and moved beyond it. yes. liz: your reaction? >> take as constitutional amendment to do that. i don't think hillary has the authority to call for a constitution convention. i like the electoral college. it puts balance in our lives. put as balance in the political process. she lost because she was lazy in my view. donald trump campaigned her and peter, we'll see what happens the next election but we're not going to do away with the electoral college, i can pretty much assure you of that.
6:51 pm
