9:02 am
those outside of washington you might hear scif thrown around a lot. it is acronym. sensitive compartmented information facility. in common vernacular where you go to keep a tight lid on information that is shared. no matter what the house does, senator lindsey graham says the fair shake in the senate is all the president is looking for. >> i think he wants to have his day in court that he didn't get in the house. it would be nice to have a lawyer present. it would be nice to request witnesses. i guarranty you, he will get a better deal in the? the senate than the house. his mood is to go to the state of the union behind him and talk about what he wants to do with the rest of 2020 and next four years. reporter: if speed is what president is after, house democrats say that is real problem. if it is fairness, they're all for that. >> threshold issue here, george, is will there be a fair trial. will the senators allow the
9:03 am
house to call witnesses to introduce, documents. that is the foundational issue on which everything else rests. one thing that the public is overwhelmingly support of that is a fair trial. reporter: president will watch carefully to see what exactly adam schiff has to say. he as you know arthel, led the house impeachment effort. arthel: the president what is on his schedule for today. reporter: very busy times for us. going to florida, back to washington, to austin, texas where the president will make his way next. i had a chance to go to the farm bureau convention. it is a very big opportunity for the president not just talk about two massive trade deals, arthel. as you know we talked a great deal about the usmca and of course the china trade deal which impacts farmers but also about subsidies that are crucial to what farmers all across america have been needing in the wake of this back and forth this, on going trade battle between the u.s. and china.

9:05 am
correspond neil sean. what is the reaction after stunning royal announcement that the royal couple will not be introduced as royals? >> well-done, eric t has stunned everybody, we know from last week they hoped to be sort of half in royals but the queen, very shrewd, lady, intelligent lady, decided no, you want to go alone, you will go alone. as far as titles they may wish to pay back the money for frog more college. they may want a independent life. when they look together, they will look at doing a tv interview to set the record straight. rightly said, everybody is having a go at meghan saying she is him taking away. we don't know whether it is harry is taking them away. fair to level the field out. eric: take it from personal point of view. here this young man, loses his mother in horrible car crash.
9:06 am
lives in fishbowl. has a royal life. discussed crusading for mental health. the fact he suffered from anxiety and depression. it can be a role model in dealing with mental health, mental illness and these issues. do you think that will come out, this was such a personal, emotional decision by him? , particularly to and his family? >> you're right. i met prince harry on number of occasions. you think he is very hyper or down. there is never a middle ground. i think meghan is good influence on him in many respects. a lot of people won't like what she has done. there is good and bad for every side. harry is looking for new direction. meghan will thrive in the new life, she is used to that, let me put it bluntly, she has two babies to look after. she has baby archie and baby harry who has to adapt to brand new way of life. that would be quite tough. i would imagine a lot of
9:07 am
pressure. they have only been married 18 months or so. not a long time. eric: your heart has to go out to him in all this. that goes king edward, be a abdicating the thrown in 1936. parallels with wallace simpson the american interloper came in to reject the monarchy, to break it up. is this a rejection of the monarchy or his family or not? >> i think harry met someone. he tried to apparently explain what comes with me. and you know, remember there was a few girlfriend before meghan. chelsea david, people like that and they rejected that life. because it is a very different life. we all had high hopes for the meghan, she is beautiful, glamorous, self-assured a breath of fresh air for the brittish monarchy. we loved her over here. the queen is very upset on a personal level because she can't understand probably what she has done wrong because she welcomed
9:08 am
meghan with open arms on to the royal train. up at balmore and christmas and thinks like that. it is different for her because she capinged tactics completely. i hope meghan and queen have points at ironing that out, what went wrong. eric: neil, finally part of her statement, it says, harry, meghan, archie, will always be much loved members of my family. my whole family's hope today's agreement allows us to build a happy and peaceful life, what is tacit in that last phrase is that they haven't had a happy or peaceful life as royals? >> well, now they have got to find out what it is like to be totally independent and hopefully, you're right, eric, hopefully these brand new ground, brand new territory, they have to look forward, remain positive. there is a very telling lien in that particular document. it is going to be reviewed in a year. let's see where we are in a year.
9:09 am
hopefully, they're in happier place, perhaps not returning together individually, whatever. as they move forward. big challenge for them both. eric: certainly is, when you have a to hail a taxicab or drive the car yourself. go to the supermarket and pay. see what life is like for the rest of us commoners. >> absolutely. eric: neil sean from london. >> of course. eric: arthel. arthel: thousands of gun rights advocates expected to rally outside of virginia's state capitol tomorrow. the annual event comes after the straight legislature passed three gun control restrictive laws. they are taking extra precaution after arrest of a three members of a white supremacist group late last week. >> no one wants another incident like the one we saw in charlottesville in 2017. we will not allow that mayhem and violence to happen here.

candidate senator elizabeth warren, what her presidency would look like if she was elected. she is talking about a cornerstone of her candidacy, that has been her economic plans. a new book delve into what she proposes in detail. the book is titled "elizabeth warren, how her presidency would destroy the middle class and the american dream." the author is david bahnsen. he is founding partner of bahnsen group. he manages $2 billion in private equity. that is pretty provocative title. why such an alarming prediction. >> her forecasts are alarming. she talks about the planet being destroyed without big government involvement. my focus is on american dream. i like the theme aspirational society. i consider myself a part of that, i believe the life i had because i didn't buy into anyone saying you can't be a
9:28 am
successful. you're a victim of other people's actions, activities, agendas. elizabeth warren, bernie sanders in the same way, represent this sort of victimhood ideology. i want to repudiate it, getting into the policies, getting into the sort of understanding of that american dna. eric: your book delves into the details tremendously in terms of proposals and policy plans. you are a supporter of president trump but you look at this as investment advisor, someone who i assume is concerned about the economy? >> yeah. eric: what do you specifically point out to, that troubles you the most? >> i go through issue by issue. i think her radical idea, banning fracking is something horrific for the middle class much the amount of blue-collar jobs that would be lost i think to western pennsylvania and some of the rust belt states, down into her own home state of oklahoma, texas, where so many jobs have been created directly and indirectly around the american energy renaissance. i also think when you look to her attack on financial markets. you mentioned we manage a lot of
9:29 am
capital on behalf of investors. she is at war with the concept of american capital markets. she considers the whole existence of ways of finance ago american business to be threat to the middle class in fact it enabled so much entrepreneurialism. look, i want to get the policies right. i think she gets a lot of them wrong but the biggest threat she represents is this whole entire rethinking of american society that is really culturally marxian. represents everybody is a victim after rich and powerful person. which isn't true. eric: she said the economy is off the rails. the problem is wealthy people. from the her campaign, as wealthiest nation in the world we can create investments and create opportunity. tax the millionaires, 75,000 of the richest families to produce trillions. here is what she was asked about that, by judy woodward during the debate in california where
9:30 am
judy asked about the plans that would cost basically $8 trillion. >> how do you answer top economists say taxes of this magnitude would stifle growth and investment? >> oh, they're just wrong. [cheers and applause] let's start with wealth tax. the idea of a two cent tax on great fortunes in this country, $50 million and above. for two cents, what can we do? we can invest in the rest of america. eric: that is the senator's defense. how would you respond to that? >> i wrote an entire chapter about the wet tax. it is very ironic to me the left holds up certain european quasi-socialist countries what they want america to be like. they go put forward some of the policies that failed in those countries. that those countries got rid of. the wealth tax will not raise anywhere near the money she is saying. certainly not tens of trillions of dollars a program she is
9:31 am
putting forward. it is fundamentally immoral idea. it isn't practical. but worse, then all of these other things she doesn't get how it will hurt people she is trying to help. it is a tax on wealth-creating activities. so i believe overall, nice that she gets applause lines in home court advantage setting like that, but when you get concept forgiving student loans that is huge handout of people of much better income producing capability than the bottom deciles of the american economy. it is very regressive idea. so i think time and time again you see these ideas, they have rhetorical flair. they play into class envy. you get applause in a college auditorium. ultimately they hurt people she says she is trying to help. eric: a lot of people say this, they say, it is about time, so what would you tell them? >> as far as the wealth tax about time or someone like sanders and audience getting a
9:32 am
audience around class warfare. mcgovern had a shot in '72. it didn't end well he electorally. waller mondale was honest saying he will raise taxes on middle class. we know how that ended. bernie sanders did something a little different than elizabeth warren. he would raise taxes on middle class. she hemmed and hawed a long time. now it hurt her as a candidate. when i say to people it is about we attack rich and powerful. it is not illegal to be rich and powerful. where there are laws being broken we need to get the laws right. i loathe crony capitalism, wherever it is including my republican friends advocating for it but she is not going after crony capital i have. she is going after the mere existence of success, implying that it came from something sinister. it is in the american dna to aspire for success. i want to get back to that message.
9:33 am
eric: finally "the new york times" business section had this. they recognized something. they say, quote, democratic moderates warn a left ward tilt in the presidential election could alienate voters swing voters. some point to the mr. obama's recent warning that the average american doesn't think we have to completely tear down the system, we also have to be rooted in reality. >> energy and radical extreme of warren and sanders, the other argument is you don't have to tear the system down, what the obama team is saying. i know more american people are on the side moved race an reasonability than extremism and tearing down free enterprise. what is politically palatable is difficult to say in this day and age. eric: david bahnsen, fascinating book. you don't get a lot of details. you definitely do in this book.

9:35 am
give school districts tools to meet the educational needs of their students. >> the reality is all schools are embracing some form of learning platform online. reporter: students in third to 12th grades will use google classroom to complete assignments. >> we still have kind of day off. it is almost like extra assignment for classes. reporter: younger kids get sent home with a folder day before. teachers are available by email. >> i have my phone. i get email on it. that is the world we live in. technologically advanced. reporter: in the last year research shows eight states are trying the work flow. >> when you weigh the pluses and minuses, offering some virtual school days ow weigh the negatives. reporter: a professor at drexel university points out there are some challenges. >> some districts have one-to-one where everyone has an ipad, they have a chrome book, they have something like that but a lot of districts do not. reporter: still as a former superintendent in new jersey he

9:41 am
find room to pay for it. arthel: former vice president joe biden in april of 2018 appearing to praise former republican house speaker paul ryan for his stance on privatizing social security. now the video has been widely shared by the bernie sanders campaign. although the senator himself has not commented on it. but mr. biden is accusing the sanders campaign of taking his remarks out of context. >> there is a little doctored video going around put out by one of bernie's people saying that i agreed with paul ryan, former vice-presidential candidate, about wanting to privatize social security. they doctored the piece. i have been a gigantic supporter of social security. it is a simply a lie. this is a doctored tape and i think it is beneath, and i'm looking for his campaign to come forward and disown it but they haven't done it yet.
9:42 am
arthel: let's bring in alex land doctor jaffe, national political reporter for the associated press. this is the case of throwing spikes in the path of the front-runner, and if so will it stop biden's momentum? >> biden does have a point. the video was not entirely doctored, those were 20 seconds from a speech he gave on paul ryan that were not particularly cut in any misleading way. they were taken somewhat out of context. if you watch the full speech, it is clear joe biden is mocking paul ryan. that said his record on social security is up for attacks particularly in democratic primary. he long promoted social security reform. so bernie sanders has been talking about this publicly on media appearances. not on the stump. his aides have been hammering joe biden on twitter and press emails for weeks now. it is really a matter of time till this under the ground feud
9:43 am
became public. it did last night in iowa. arthel: we have a statement from the source of the original video, "politifact" on sanders's claim that joe biden lauded cut to social security and medicare. the statement reads, the sanders campaign omit what biden said next, the importance of protecting social security and medicare and to change the tax code which he said benefited the megarich. overall the point of biden's speech was to criticize tax cuts for the rich and call for more help to the middle class. and now, we have a statement from the sanders campaign. they released this yesterday and this reads, quote, joe biden should be honest with voters and stop trying to doctor his own public record of consistently and repeatedly trying to cut social security. the facts are very clear. biden not only pushed to cut social security, he is on tape proudly bragging about it on multiple occasions. so alexandra, how big of a deal would this be in 24 hours?
9:44 am
>> well, that is the thing, the bernie sanders campaign has been pushing out multiple videos, not just this one we're talking about in the speech mocking paul ryan, that suggests that joe biden has been promoting social security reform for most of his career. so at the very least this is -- arthel: reform is one thing, but reform is one thing and trying to privatize it is separate issue? >> right. and he hasn't been talking about privatizing it. at the very least it is going to put joe biden in a position where he has to explain his previous comments about reforming social security and other entitlements to bring down the costs. now that is conversation we really haven't had in the democratic primary yet. so it will be interesting to see how joe biden gets into policy issues going forward. it is clear bernie sanders sees, both of them are front-runners, particularly in iowa. they're within the margin of error in most recent polls. bernie sanders clearly season opening with democratic primary voters here on this issue.
9:45 am
it probably won't be the last we hear about it. arthel: bernie sanders will be sidelined in effect as he is one of four democratic senators who are senators called to duty in president trump's impeachment trial. so this will take sanders, elizabeth warren, amy klobuchar, michael bennet off the campaign trail. especially critical time, you know with the iowa caucuses 15 day as way. will this affect their campaigns? >> absolutely. the campaigns expect to be off the trail for most of the rest of the week. tuesday through saturday the trial is set to take place. they may come back on sunday. they will be at it in washington. that leave as scenario they may have one full week of campaigning before caucuses take place. which basically cedes ground to joe biden, pete buttigieg and honestly andrew yang, who launched a 17-day bus tour across the state. which will be advantage for
9:46 am
them. they will get more voters in front of the candidates. they will get more local press coverage. whatever candidate the senator said this is our constitutional duty. we hope the american people and voters of iowa understand that. though they are looking for other ways to get back here to campaign pro washington. i heard talk of teletown halls. skypeing into sort of events on the trail. so we'll see. they have to get creative. arthel: surrogates and the like. alexandra jaffe, thank you very much. thank you very much. we'll be right back. memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
