half the people have enough savings? i understand the numbers but still, are we better off, worse off? this is one of those things it's like we having same argument for the last 100 years. david: we will for the next 100 years. see you next time. liz: okay. we have in breaking news mode. look at the live shots, the "fox business alert." president trump is on the move this hour. he is heading to his rally in colorado springs after a big turnout. both at his speech in california and later at a rally in phoenix last night. now colorado supporters have been pitching tents overnight just to get in. tend degrees freezing cold weather. look at those shots. the president's approval rating, we have news breaking here, hit a new high in the latest "real clear politics" average of polls. look at that. he has a 46% notch there. plus a new "gallup poll" shows the president's highest approval rating to date, 49%. gallup says, that greatly

increases his chances of being reelected. more out of ballup. americans are increasingly positive about the state of the union. 45% satisfied. now it has not been this high since 2005. look at that. 2/3 say economic conditions are excellent. fox news alicia acuna is on the ground at that rally in colorado with more. alicia. wow, they're piling in right now. great to see you. reporter: a lot warmer in here, liz, than it is out there. we were talking with a lot of folks. president scheduled to take the stage here at broadmoore arena in colorado springs. in less than an hour he will be joined by vice president mike pence and others. this place holds 8,000 people, this arena in particular. it is packed as you mentioned. so many of them have been here since yesterday. this is el paso county, a place candidate trump won easily in 2016 although he did lose to

hillary clinton statewide. the conservative strong hold in colorado, folks here are really hoping to deliver to the gop this time around. the folks we talked to in 10 to 20-degree weather. they endured to get a seat inside. they said it is something they can handle. >> freezing, frigid, miserable but you stayed, why? >> we like president trump. we like the progress he in our country and he shares our values. >> never get a chance to see president live very often and we're here more importantly to support the president. >> do it again in a heartbeat. reporter: another trump made an appearance in colorado yesterday, lara trump, his daughter-in-law, senior advisor to his re-election effort. also colorado springs gop senator cory guarder in, he is defending one of the considered most vulnerable seats. facing former colorado governor

and former presidential candidate john hickenlooper. all six of these presidential hopefuls have been in the state or have plans to be. colorado is joining the super tuesday crowd this year, liz. this is the first time in 20 years that colorado will have a primary. it had a caucus system last two decades until things got messed up last go round. voters decided the caucus system -- going with primaries. liz: you did a great job. it is so loud there, it is hard to hear. you did a great report. we could hear you loud and clear. alicia acuna rally for the president in colorado. now to this. democrat debate, it was pretty bad. people keep saying it was really hard to watch. the democrats attacked each other but not the president. no talk of policies. the biggest loser? the democrats candidates credibility. that is what we're hearing. this story, the bloomberg bubble has burst. democrat fears that bloomberg's

performance is so bad he will not be able to hold his ground against the president in a debate. look at this news breaking, michael bloomberg trying to rewrite the history of his debate performance tweeting out an edited video of his performance at the debate to make himself look better. it he edited out all the bad pa. >> i'm only one here to start a business. is that fair? liz: okay. here is the broad zoom perspective. we'll get more from michael bloomberg. democrats did not come off as uniters or optimistic or aspirational. the president says that democrats are having a full-scale meltdown. critics say the party leaders feel it is nuclear reactor core meltdown to the floor. bloomberg admitting president won last night.

>> the real winner in the debate was night was donald trump. because i worry that we may very well be on the way to nominating somebody who cannot win in november. and if we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base like senator sanders it will be a fatal error. liz: let's take you back to the rally in colorado with trump 2020 campaign communications director tim murtagh. you watched it i presume last night. what was your reaction when you watched it? >> well, i mean that assessment is exactly right. it is a hot mess. is a train wreck. it is a complete meltdown, whatever you want to call it. whatever is going on the democrat side. whoever gets thrown free of that wreckage they have pot going on there is going to be lined up against a president that has been running free and building up steam for the last three years. we have another rally going on here again. we're raising money for the president in record amounts. his approval rating is reaching all team highs. this is a juggernaut that president trump has built for his re-election efforts.

whoever is unlucky to come out on the democrat side is going to get steamrolled by president trump on his way to re-election. liz: democrat amy klobuchar warning with what happened last night that democrats are not going to inspire turnout. she said that on camera. she is saying they're worried about turning out independents or the moderates to come out of the house and vote. democrats are running out of time. 60% of the delegates will choose in the next three weeks. i want to turn to michael bloomberg editing back his performance. here is what happened. >> i don't i this look at donald trump and say we need someone richer in the white house. >> the mayor says he has a great record, he has done the wonderful things. the fact of the matter he has not managed his city very well, when he was there. >> we are giving a voice to people saying we're sick and tired of billionaires like mr. bloomberg seeing huge expansions of their wealth while half a million people sleep out on the street tonight. >> i would like to talk about

who we're running against, a billionaire who calls women fat broads and horse-faced lesbians. and no, i'm not talking about donald trump. i'm talking about mayor bloomberg. liz: say this about the michael bloomberg's tweet of his debate performance. of course campaigns are going to show themselves in the best light. that was just one line in tweeted out video. your reaction, tim? >> i think mike bloomberg is finding out it is a lot easier to spend half a billion dollars on tv ads than it is to stand on stage to actually defend your bad record and i think what else is clear from that debate is that bernie sanders is still the front-runner on the democrat party. he has been that way for a while and for an entire year or more he has been the intellectual leader of the democrat party. everybody on the stage, everybody running on that side has been running on bernie's issues. whoever comes out as the standard-bearer after their convention will be running on bernie's big government socialist platform.

it doesn't matter who it is. liz: to your point, i have to also make a note here, let me turn quickly to michael bloomberg. bloomberg falsely claimed he had a change of heart of "stop-and-frisk" at the debate. while mayor, bloomberg vigorously defended it in court and public speeches up until a month before he launched the 2020 campaign of the president has his support of stop-and-frisk in places like chicago with out of control gun violence. your reaction to that? >> mike bloomberg has to remain consistent. this is character issue of the does he support it or does he not. until recently he was a steadfast supporter of it. the question the language that michael bloomberg used to defend the "stop-and-frisk" policy, as the president sported it but the way you described trohing young black men up against the wall and take young black men and xerox them he labeled an tire

group of category of young black men all of them as criminals. just the way he talked about it is not acceptable in american society and certainly is not going to wash in a democrat primary. we've seen that. that is among the many things he will have to answer for on that side. they are gipping to call him out on it. again it is easier to spend half a billion dollars on tv ads. he found that out last night. liz: turn to bernie sanders. he is flying first class, accused of that, supporting socialist policies. he thanked las vegas medical care in a hospital in las vegas after he had his heart attack in october. republican consultant brad blakeman, pointed out that hospital was in the private sector, the private health care system. turn to bernie sanders's bad night last night. let's watch bernie sanders performance. >> what a wonderful country we have. the best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three hours. what did i miss here? >> you missed that i work in

washington. >> that's the first problem. >> live in burlington, house two. >> that's food. >> and like thousands of other vermonters i do have a summer cabin. >> most americans don't see where they fit if they have to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all thinks that money ought to be the root of all power. >> this is ridiculous. [cheering] we're not going to throw out capitalism. we tried that. other countries tried that. it was called communism and it just didn't work. liz: almost started hearing boos. the majority of voters, tim, say no to socialism. i mean npr marist poll says they don't want a socialist as president. about 60% say that. look at numbers now. nearly 60% of independents don't want it. >> well that is not who is involved in the democrat process over there. their primary, their primary is driven by the aoc wing of the party. it is radical fringe of the democratic party will select

their nominee for president. we see bernie sanders as the front-runner. he is the odds on favorite to be the nominee. he is talk about his three houses there. the last one he identified as a cabin he got there. in the soviet union they would call that a dasha. next time asked about it, sure i have my dacha not on the black sea exactly but up there in vermont. liz: here is the thing, amy klobuchar raised this point. she said that bernie sanders single-payer legislation that would wipe out everything, it would wipe out medicare, medicaid, schip, tricare for soldiers, it would wipe out everything, tim. she said that bernie now, right now, today, does not have 2/3 of even democrats senators backing this legislation. so obama officials, clinton officials, everybody is saying this. why should voters go for this when not even his colleagues in the senate back it? >> look, bernie is trying to sell this as his big idea, how

he gets it passed through congress is his problem. he is running on this as a centerpiece of his campaign. we have to take him on his word. that is all we have to go with. what he is proposing, what is sort of dogma for most mainstream democrats is "medicare for all." that is complete government take over of the health care system. that means the elimination of employer provided health insurance. that means the insurance you get through your job is gone. it means that tens of millions of union workers across this country will lose the benefits they negotiated for. as you mentioned, schip is gone. tricare is bonn. it means the government takes over every decision. it means the government is between you and your doctor. that is not what this country was built on. it is not what our health care system was built on. it is not what our capitalist society knows. it is what bernie is running on. we have to take him at his word. that is the centerpiece of his campaign. for now he is the front-runner in the democrat process. he again remains the intellectual leader of the

democrats. they're all following his lead. they're all debating his policies. liz: we have to go, but the system he is advocating doesn't even exist in. it doesn't exist in the nordic model. they have co-pays and deductibles in canada. in nordic system they have half the population of l.a. county in scandinavia. final word tim. then we got to go. >> thank you. this is the brand of big government socialism that bernie sanders is advocating. there is no question about it. it is not just health care. it is the "green new deal." he is the front-runner. he is the intellectual leader of the democrat party today. liz: tim, great to see you. come back soon. >> great to see you. liz: next story coming up, susan rice on the stage with john bolton at vanderbilt university last night, susan rice said, if she had first-hand knowledge of gross abuse of presidential power, she would testify. so why didn't john bolton. here is the thing. susan rice has been accused of gross abuse of power. we'll break it down coming up.

obstruction, lying to congress and witness tampering. edward lawrence at the courthouse with more. edward? reporter: roger stone will serve three years and four months as the maximum under the sentence. there was more under each count. here is how it breaks down, liz. count one, obstruction of justice was three years. counts two through six. lying to congress. witness tampering stone serves 1months. all concurrent. they're running at same time. that is the reason he serves the 40 months that is the most unthis. he will have a fine of $20,000. all of this is on hold for a retrial hearing. the defense on stone's team argues that the jury forman was biased against stone from the beginning of this process. during the hearing judge amy berman jackson said it was stone who inserted himself in the incendiary issue adding that he lied. president trump considering a pardon or commuting stone's sentence but holding off.

listen. >> i'm not going to do anything in terms of the great powers bestowed upon a president of the united states. i want the process to play out. i think that's the best thing to do. because i would love to see roger exonerated and i would love to see it happen because i personally think he was treated very unfairly. reporter: and again he does have the chance for a retrial. now the department of justice has to file a motion, a rebuttal to that retrial motion by tuesday of next week. then a hearing will be scheduled for that. now if the judge decides no, on a retrial, then stone will service a sentence starting two weeks after that decision. after that we wait to see what the judge says. liz: edward lawrence, thank you very much. it didn't go well for rod blagojevich at a second trial. he was convicted of corruption at a second trial. always good to see edward law

recognize. president trump spoke about it today. >> the forewoman of the jury, the woman in charge of the jury is totally tainted. when you take a look how can you have a person like this. she was a anti-trump activist. what happened to him is unbelievable. they say he lied. but other people lied too. just to mention comey lied, mccabe lied, lisa page lied. liz: okay. look at this. , another juror on the stone trial besides the forewoman admits anti-trump bias in an interview with cnn watch this. >> i think the actions of the president and of the attorney general called, cast doubt on the bedrock of equal administration of justice. that is so important to our

country. i think he damages our democracy by attacking this way. i wish he would stop. liz: bring in the next guest, tennessee senator marsha blackburn. good to see you, senator. >> you too. liz: this jury said quote, we follow ad rigorous process. what is your take on all this. >> listen the american people, i will tell you especially tennesseans. they see a two-teared system of justice. and they know donald trump has not been treated fairly just like so many of them have not been treated fairly by federal age is. they have grown ill and fatigued with this process. they think that it should be equal treatment, equal access. equal justice and they understand donald trump's frustration and they want to see people held to account. liz: okay. sew here's the thing. it is an important point you're

making senator. we're seeing media such as "the washington post," it is not just "the wall street journal," we're seeing "the hill" magazine reporting yes, william barr is doing his job trying to hold d.c. accountable. we're seeing "washington post" op-ed saying since when, should it be left up to prosecutors, what a dangerous notion that is, why is there no oversight of prosecutors and why do they have discretion to suggest punishments for defendants who they have prosecuted? that wouldn't be acceptable anywhere else. your reaction to that? >> one of the things we know is that bill barr is doing a great job and i hope he says and continues to do a great job. and you're pointing out different disparities an inequities and i agree with all of that. what people say is look, let's clean up the doj. let's clean up the u.s. attorneys offices. let's get people who are

bringing political bias and personal opinion out of the way, and make certain that we return to being a nation of laws, that abides by the rule of law, with equal treatment in equal justice. and i know bill barr has to feel like he goes in there every day and plays "whack-a-mole" with problems that are cropping up and tries to find a way to deal with this. and it is going to take a little bit of time. it is not something that is going to be done but here's the good thing, is that people are saying we know that this exists. whether it is lisa page or whether it is jim comey or andrew mccabe, or whether it is bruce and nellie ohr, what they see is people that get special treatment and then people that are harshly treated. liz: how do you think this ends up? because we know that attorney general barr testified last april that, yeah, he was going

to look into this. a month later he appointed john durham, the criminal federal prosecutor to look into it. >> right. >> dan henninger at "wall street journal" is saying when people in washington, d.c., went berzerk, went into defcon 1, went into meltdown over this. he is cleaning up what went on there, right? >> right. bear in mind the swamp is murky, it is full of alligators. you start disrupting what are they going to do? they are going to bite and that is what they have been doing. they cannot believe that donald trump has come into town. that the deplorables have arrived in washington, d.c., and they're saying we are a government of, by, for the people. and what people want to see is the people in charge, not the government in charge taking away freedoms. liz: final point, i know we got to go. i like the point from mark penn. he said five of the last six

special counsels of presidents, both democrats and republicans pardoned numerous figures. george h.w., casper weinberger, bill clinton, most whitewater figures an friends. we have to go, senator. sorry ran out of time. come back soon to be on the show. >> absolutely. >> great to see you, senator. up next the foreign minister of iran says he believes his meeting with a democrat u.s. senator this past weekend scared the trump administration. the debate. is this another example of the democrats undercutting the president with freelance foreign policy which democrats had accused republicans doing with president barack obama? that debate next. ♪. with this key to the city.

defiant and will only speak with the trump administration when the u.s. reduces sanctions. this standoff plays out as trump administration says chris murphy and federal law with back channel meetings with iran. senator murphy met with leaders in munich. iran's foreign minute story says he thinks the meeting with the u.s. senator scares the trump administration. rich edson is with us with more. great to see you, rich. reporter: good evening, liz. more sanctions against iran at the state department and there are more to come. specifically the state department was sanctioning five members of iran's election council. they are the ones responsible for who can run for office, who is eliminated who can run for office in the country especially for tomorrow's vote in the parliament there. >> iranian people know tomorrow's election is political theater. it is a republic in name only,

when the government disqualifies half the candidates running for office. millions of iranians have decided to stay home. they know they don't have a again genuine say in the process. secretary of state mike pompeo is in the region meading with mohammad bin salman to consider countering iran. he toured a saudi airbase where 2500 u.s. troops are stationed while conducting u.s. foreign policy the secretary warned members of congress against free-lancing relations with iranian officials. president trump suggested that the senator chris murphy violated a 1799 federal law this weekend in meeting with iran's foreign minister. the president has also accused former secretary of state john kerry of violating that law. it is called the logan act and it prohibits unauthorized american citizens from conducting foreign policy. >> i didn't negotiate with anybody. i did what every senator and

secretaries of state in history have done which is continue to go to conferences abroad or have meetings in order to be well-informed. reporter: senator murphy denied he was conducting u.s. foreign policy although he called u.s. administration strategy on iran a disaster. liz. liz: rich, thank you for your reporting. with more on the democrats undercutting the president, that is what president trump says it is going on and whether it is jeopardizing national security, retired colonel david hunt joins us now. colonel, two questions here, are they undercutting national security and the president and why is senator murphy doing this? >> yeah, the answer is yes. anytime -- elections have consequences. the people that are responsible, the u.s. government for foreign policy the executive branch through the state department, period, full stop, end of story. congress has done this in every administration. it is showing off.

there is no positive effect that congressman meeting with the foreign ministers in iran will have. on former secretary kerry, that is a presidential candidate probably thinking about running who has got free publicity but it will have zero effect on the relationship between the current administration and iran. it is unfortunate joke and but it played out not just against the trump administration but against all, all administration this is happens. liz: i'm going to ask my team to get ready what the president's sound bite, his reaction on that in just a second. i will ask them to move it up higher. democrats objected to it five-years ago when republican senator tom cotton and dozens of his republican colleagues sent a letter to iran's leader hey, here is how our u.s. constitutional system works. senator murphy got mad at that, you're undercutting president obama doing the nuclear deal with iran.

>> i'm shocked there is hypocrisy in congress, absolutely shocked, five years ago cotton did that. that is the problem with all this. this is very serious business. we killed the second most powerful man in iran. we got 109 soldiers with traumatic brain injury from missiles shot into an airbase we owned, we control in iraq. this is deadly serious stuff. this is a terrorist state that has killed americans an continues to kill americans. to have it played out in this foolishness of meet national munich by people who cannot affect the outcome is ludicrous to me. liz: but senator murphy attacked the trump administration in early january after the u.s. killed general, iranian general qassem soleimani, basically believed to be a terrorist mastermind but to your point after iran attacked u.s. embassy in iraq, senator murphy tweeted out quote, president trump

rendered america impotent in the middle east. no one fears or listens to us. he is trying to have it both ways. >> not a surprise they're trying. how about a big issue? how about americans are getting killed? how about we get behind the current leadership of the country to protect soldiers and to prevent protect spies and department of state people. but we do not. we go to the corners and do this nonsense and have kerry say it is okay. he wouldn't have tolerated and didn't tolerate it if republicans did this to him when he was secretary of state. liz: that is an important. you just made. that is an important point. by the way iran is crushing its protesters, murdering its own civilians, torturing them. here is the president reacting to senator murphy meeting with the foreign minister of iran. watch this. >> i saw senator murphy met with the iranians is that a fact? i saw that on the way over. is there anything i should no?

because that sounds like to me a violation of the logan act. liz: which is what michael flynn has been accused of. coal nell, here is the final point, when officials do this, they meet with leaders of foreign countries is it sort of a signal to them, wait for us, we'll come in and you can deal with us? is that how it is undercutting the president? >> yeah but the, also, iran is playing us. that is the other problem. people went over there to munich played in their hands. liz: iran is now saying the trump administration is scared, that this meeting with senator chris murphy spooked the trump administration. your final words. >> that is utter nonsense. of course they're not scared. iran is playing games. we played right into their hand. liz: colonel, great to see you. thankthank you for your serviceo our country. come back soon. liz: coming up next the big fight over john bolton saying last night his testimony would not have changed the quote, malpractice of the house democrats impeachment against president trump. john bolton said it was quote,

but with that said, he created such a smoke screen that when he says that he, he would, he is trying to promote his book and in doing so he is saying that even if the president, he knew darn right well that the president didn't do anything that was questionable regarding the people he was dealing with in the ukraine and he knew that wasn't true but he did all of this to create the smoke screen, illusion, maybe there was something there and that bottom line is, it was just a cheap attempt and shabby attempt to hock his book. that's all. liz: he has been on this show. he has been a straight-shooter. i respect your opinion, hear what you're saying. susan rice, want your reaction to this. susan rice was on the stage with mr. bolton at vanderbilt university last night. susan rice said if she had first-hand knowledge, quote a

gross of abuse of power she would have testified. correct me if i'm wrong, wasn't it susan rice was accused of grows abuse of power when she orchestrated unmasking of regular civilians working on the trump campaign, revealing their identities to government intelligence officials and connected their communications to their names while they were spying on the trump campaign? she later denied that to judy woodruff of "pbs newshour" saying i don't know anything about that. >> liz that is not surprising coming from her. you're absolutely right on target. she outed these people on purpose. she and her relationship with hillary clinton who probably will never face felony charges that she is guilty of, need to be put out of everybody's mind. she is just a horrible person and never, ever, should question anybody's integrity because she has none herself. liz: bill gavin, great to see you. come back soon. >> thanks, my pleasure. liz: up next, did you see this

are serious when it comes to the homeless crisis. he devoted his entire state of the state address to it last night. >> a disgrace, that the richest state and the richest nation succeeding across so many sectors is falling so far behind to properly house, heal and humanely treat so many of its own people? liz: let's bring in former bush 43 deputy assistant. he's brad blakeman. great to see you, brad. your reaction to the president's take on california, san francisco, if you don't clean it up, we'll come in? they have more than half of the nation's homeless population. it is a dire crisis. >> it is. we have a democratic administration in the state. we have democratic administrations in the cities most affected by this it didn't happen overnight. this has been festering over a long period of time and it starts with the breakdown of the rule of law, starting with sanctuary cities and allowing tent cities to pop up and hurt the economy of their state and

of their cities. so donald trump is right. he took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the united states including every state in the union and if california can't protect its own citizens and create a safe environment, then it is up to the president to step in to do it for them. liz: we keep hearing lack of affordable housing. state and local policies, building codes, rent control. the governor will make 300 state-owned properties available for helping the homeless crisis there. it is a broader issue than that, right. >> it is. >> the chronic policy problem is deep in california. go ahead, brad. >> there is no doubt about it and what they have been doing they have been neglecting the problem. they have been kicking the can down the road? they have also encouraged a flight of their citizens, their tax paying citizens to other places because they can't govern themselves and now it's become a public health crisis. shame on them, california. they are the largest economy in

the union. if they were a separate country they would be the sixth largest economy in the world. what a shame the federal government has to come in because they won't do the job they were elected as a state, local, municipal authority. liz: we're running out of time. this story flew under the radar screen. finally left are saying the economic growth policies are behind the five million fewer people on food stamps. the president is tough getting people out of welfare and people to work but "the times" and think tanks says employment opportunities and pay increases made millions of workers earning too much money so it is wage growth. too much money to be on food stamps. go ahead. >> i think with the opportunity that have been afforded under the trump administration we shouldn't be having a crisis now. this is the one time where we should have a boom in every sector of the economy. let's remember, we're full

employment. this is unacceptable and this is a crisis created by the state and local authorities in california. this isn't happening like it is in any other state in the union. liz: great to see you. brad. come back soon. >> thank you. liz: coming up, now even president obama's former homeland security chief says, yes, the president's border policies are working. is that a wake-up call to democrats? will they answer it? that debate coming up. ♪. >> one of the ways we got the numbers down in 2014 was to get the mexican government to do more on their southern border. the january number is encouraging. the month of march is always an indicator of what the spring and summer is going to bring. ♪. when we started our business

when you heard jeh johnson say that, what was your reaction? >> he's correct. jeh johnson is concerned about the leftist policies coming up on the democrat side. he's concerned they are going to destroy border security. he did believe in securing the border. the current democratic crop running for president want to destroy border security all together. liz: watch this. >> i can't say i'm surprised after having lived with this issue for three years. the former vice president said it took us a while to get it right and i know what he's referring. first we created daca. then in march 2014, president obama said to me, hey, let's

figure out a more humane way to do this. let's focus on the criminals. >> that's exactly what president trump is doing. for cuomo to say president trump is going after the run-of-the-mill illegal alien which we have every right to do, but for him to say that, it's a flat-out lie. he's focused on ms134. -- on ms-13. and cuomo is using politics. liz: quote the agreements we made with mexico need to be sustainable but mexico needs to do a lot more building their own system of dealing with refugees and their border security with

central america. he's saying i agree with the president dealing with mexico. >> what he just said is exactly what president trump is doing. president trump's policies are sustainable. he's helping the mexican government build up their southern border. he's pushing all the right buttons. they have caused an existential drop in border crossing. to hear jeh johnson say that's means a lot. liz: democrats are saying this is a racist policy. and those who support the president and your work say it's about the rule of law and fighting crime. it has nothing do do with immigration. >> there is nothing racist about it. the majority of border agents

are hispanic. they are not racist. liz: lou dobbs next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. lou: good evening, everybody. the question tonight is how corrupt is our federal judiciary. amy jackson sentenced roger stone to 3 years in prison. despite the obvious bias of two members of the jury. today while handing down that sentence, ask judge jackson took a shot at the president saying this, quote, this case imem
