>> a little billy joel to get you moving this morning. you are watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning. thank you for starting the day with us. it is going to be a very busy one. all eyes on capitol hill as donald trump's impeachment trial officially begins, the president calls on republican reinforcements to defend against the democrats. kevin cork joins us from statuary hall with what to expect today and the lights are on in the capital. >> indeed they are on. we are ready for business and an important day in washington as we look ahead to the senate trial. the impeachment trial of the president of the united states, 67 votes is what would take to remove the president for office, incredibly low that that will happen but the president's attorneys are pushing for a quick acquittal. let me tell you what the

president says about this process, he's talking about chuck schumer calling him once again crying chuck, the two sees asking for fairness when he and democrat house members works together to make sure i got 0 fairness in the house. what else is new. on capitol hill it is not just republicans but the president's legal team but says this should never have happened in the first place. >> donald trump should not be on trial, he should not have been impeached by the house. he has a team that is in a sense chomping at the bit ready to go because this is our first chance to defend -- with actual due process. >> a member of the present that legal team. house managers issuing a statement that reads in part the framers deliberately drafted a constitution that allows the senate remove presidents who abuse their power to cheat in elections, betray our national security

and ignore checks and balances. the general consensus in washington is this will be a fairly speedy senate trial no more than a couple weeks but we heard ted cruz say it to take 8 weeks or more if witnesses are called. shannon: we will depend on you. great to see you. arkansas governor asa hutchinson was in impeachment manager during the impeachment hearing and he said democrats fight for witnesses prove they don't have the open and shut case they have been promising the american people. >> the house is in a bind because they sent a case that was not fully investigated, all the witnesses were not interviewed, they didn't go to the trouble of making sure they had a case fully developed and so now they are coming over to the senate and saying finish the job, we knew witnesses over here because we didn't pursue those diligently on the house

side. whenever you do not have substantive crimes set forth in clear detail in the articles of impeachment and rely on abuse of power alone, that is empty without underlying crimes. that make sense to the american public whenever the constitution refers to high crimes and misdemeanors. >> hutchinson says mcconnell's rules resolution is similar to the procedures that played out during the clinton impeachment trial. much more on all of this coming up but it turns out donald trump will not be watching the impeachment trial from washington, moments ago the president landing in davos, switzerland for the world economic forum. in just over an hour he will take the world stage for a speech on the booming economy, he will encourage businesses to invest in the us. he will meet one on one with several leaders including the

new european commission president, the first woman to hold that position by the way. the us embassy in baghdad is on alert after three rockets hit nearby. so far no one has claimed responsibility for the rockets in the green zone where government buildings are located. there are no reported deaths. this comes as antigovernment protests in baghdad are escalating. at least three protesters were killed monday. iran officially swearing-in a replacement for iran's most powerful general, soleimani. esmail ghaani his vowing revenge for the us air strike that killed soleimani. >> they hit him in a cowardly

peacefully protest anti-gun bills after days of speculation about possible violence. griff jenkins was at the event and spoke to the protesters and joins us now with more. >> reporter: it was a very large crowd and a peaceful crowd and we have the official numbers, 22,000 total folks, 6000 on that capital ground, 16,000 in the streets. in this live shot we talk to the crowd. it was very boisterous. here's what they had to say in their message to the governor. >> legislation leads to accomplished stage. we have to protect ourselves, and individuals right to protect themselves. >> he's looking out for certain groups of people. >> leave us alone. >> if you don't come out and get active and let them know how you feel they can do whatever they want. >> he is starting this fight

with america. >> if you pass something too extremely will not comply. our rights come from god, not richmond. >> after the event the governor praising law enforcement and saying thousands of people came to richmond to get their voices heard. when people disagree they can do so peacefully. the should evoke strong emotions and progress is often difficult. we spoke with philip vancleave, the president of the citizens defense league that the rally on and he was stunned at all the people that came from across the country. >> people from across the country as far away as california and washington state to come here just to stand side-by-side, the united states is viewing virginia as the canary in the coal mine. >> reporter: the doors behind me to the capital in just a few

hours, we will start hearing the bills that are before the legislature with regards to hand gun-control. while it was a peaceful event, the fight of those continues, we will have to see what happens in the commonwealth. >> griff jenkins, great job, thank you so much. the time is 10 minutes after the top of the hour and mitch mcconnell unveiling his rules for the senate impeachment trial. how will it work? attorney general is the process will expose how partisan democrats have been all along and she joins us up next. >> we don't have that, the democrat party is not a left party, the democratic party is a center or center conservative party. >> alexandria ocasio cortez calling out her own party, the new direction she wants democrats to take. ♪

>> on something as important and serious as impeachment, mitch mcconnell's resolution is a national disgrace. >> it is not responsible and senators to improve or expand the case but our responsibility as jurors is to hear the case, not add to it. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell rolling out his plan for a historic impeachment trial, the resolution will allow witnesses but keep lawmakers from getting stuck in a prolonged trial. how would it work? jenna ellis breaks down the process moving forward. thank you for joining us. we know you're very busy. >> always a pleasure to join you. >> democrats quick to respond

to all this and let's bring up some of their responses and i will get you to weigh in. the goal of whitewashing the president's corruption is what this is about. mcconnell and trump want to ignore sort of intent chris coons is more like a cover-up that a fair trial. what say you? >> like the democrats have been doing since september this has been a complete circus and an optics battle and they are expecting now less in the senate and mitch mcconnell is trying to have the process work fairly with both sides which can't be said for how the house managed the inquiry so it is ridiculous the democrats are objecting. what mitch mcconnell is doing is wanting to have the resolutions go illogical phases, the first phase would be each side has 24 hours over the course of two days to

present opening statements which is the same amount of time as the clinton impeachment, rather than over three days over two days into the clinton impeachment they didn't use all their time. this isn't a complex case for either side. they can certainly do that. shannon: so the time allotted for both sides is the same but the length of days has been reduced to wouldn't that since democrats want to call additional witnesses which remains to be seen allow them to get their witnesses sooner? >> in theory yes but this is the democrats wanting to prolong this and have an optics battle and parade and circus rather than actually looking at a trial and looking at from a legal perspective which is what the president's team is doing. definitely treating this as a constitutional inquiry and something that has to abide by the rule of law, how they fare fundamental process, have due process which was denied the president during the course of the house inquiry. the democrats are not treating

it fairly and are treating it entirely partisan because during the clinton impeachment the process, the resolution was voted on unanimously so here we are seeing the democrats are just pushing back against anything mitch mcconnell wants to present and are going to offer amendments and pushing back in order to make this a partisan stance like they have from the beginning. >> the president called on a number of house republicans to bolster the event and we can bring those names of for everyone at home. what role will all these folks play and understand they will not be on the floor giving testimony. they won't be presenting statements. >> they will be presenting arguments on the senate floor. the president's legal team is very robust, a number of people, myself included presenting arguments on the senate floor but certainly helping on the team, we are

defending the president in the media, we are part of the team and these members as part of the president's legal team have been his staunch advocates, have been in the trenches during the house inquiry, they know this record better than anyone else, inside out so i was pleased to see they were named to the president's legal defense team because they have been part of this team, defending the constitution, defending the president, they will continue doing that and especially, people like mike johnson from louisiana, he has such an amazing history and career of being a constitutional lawyer and he knows the process, he knows the record inside out and will be a continuing advocate for the president. >> all about the constitution. thank you so much for joining us. we will see what happens moving forward. will there or will their won't be witnesses, that remains to be seen. carmen gregor calls donald

primary. let's keep our focus on keeping donald trump a one term president. after tense moments at the last democratic debate sanders and elizabeth warren are in better terms maybe, the senate is seen walking arm in arm, a parade honoring doctor martin luther king jr.. senator amy klobuchar was also at the march getting last-minute campaigning and before the impeachment trial, the senator said she was wrong in voting to make english the official language of the united states. >> why we don't want that to happen, because it would be such a problem for immigrants trying to do everything from access government to vote. i don't agree with that position. >> klobuchar apologized for the vote, she insists she was still progressive back then and supported a path to citizenship.

from one controversy to another alexandria ocasio cortez knocking her own party for not being progressive enough. >> we don't have a left party in the united states, the democratic party is not a left party, the democratic party is a center or center conservative party. shannon: carly shimkus with serious xm 115 here with how social media is responding to this far left remarks. >> you give an example why she feels that way, democrats can't even agree to bring medicare for all to the house floor for a vote and said something solid to this earlier this month, the democratic party is too big of a tent. in some countries she and joe biden wouldn't even be in the same party, some people disagree. one twitter user, honest question, what policies of the

2020 democratic party can be considered conservative? been on twitter says the punchline, there has to be a joke. there has to be with a joke like this. i would love to hear what nancy pelosi has to say about her characterization of the democratic party. i'm sure she disagrees. shannon: that is getting nancy pelosi in trouble lately trying to make amends with both sides. connor macgregor is looking at usc fans a little different with his pro-donald trump post. >> yesterday he posted this about donald trump, praising him saying phenomenal president, one of them anyway as he sits atop a shoulder of many amazing giants that came before him, no easy feat. early stages of term also. incredible. dividing social media, some

telling him to delete the tweet, this telling him not to get political, others praising him, macgregor - the tweet belonged to the presidential archives for the rest of eternity and you have something in common, both winners who don't get tired of hashtag winning, he was responding to a tweet by the president who was commenting on the fact that the unemployment rate traffic americans is at an all-time low. >> winning after his big win over the cowboys. and people had to pay for that. fellow celebrities including courtney cox, the stamp of approval to this. >> all those pictures circulating on social media, people obsessing, one shows brad pitt gazing at jennifer

aniston as she made her acceptance speech and this is after-the-fact, both smiling at each other, are they going to get back together? angelina jolie hasn't responded but the new york post created her fake reaction, saying you aren't getting it back, that is the new york post characterization of what she had to say. other speakers commented we will be telling our grandkids about this, that account for this is, hillary div chimed in with omg. blink 182, fell in love with a girl at the stag show. courtney cox like the bunge of these pictures of them together so the friends cohost still thinks a possibility. >> he went to her 50th birthday, no pictures but proof. thank you so much. the time is almost half past

thing they are talking about is stakeholder capitalism and all that business. where they have that stuff things are lousy, germany, france, italy, in america where free enterprise rains and aoc is frustrated we are doing just fine. >> we are doing more than fine. taking a look at some of the president's economic achievements, 6.6 million jobs created, 3.5% on implement, stock market an all-time high, the dow at 22 record closing. do you expect this trend to continue? >> i do expect the markets to continue to rise. and other trends we didn't talk about the people in low income jobs, minorities and women, women are starting more businesses than ever before, minorities are changing jobs more freely because they are finding better opportunities of the largest wage gains are the bottom 25%.

if you want to help the downtrodden, vote for donald trump. that is the message. >> he sent out a message on twitter on the world economic forum, heading to davos, switzerland to meet with business leaders and bring good policy and additional hundreds of billions of dollars back to the united states of america. we are number one in the universe by far. i have to ask before we run out of time. a lot of democrats, people who do not like donald trump constantly hear them say donald trump has embarrassed america on the world stage but yet he is there with the facts and how our economy is thriving so who is it that is embarrassing us on the world stage if democrats are so focused on impeachment when he is doing this job? >> we are not embarrassed, donald trump said the european state doesn't work, the

europeans have to spend less time torturing themselves about economy and all the rest and more time growing the pie. they have to do more on defense, these are things they don't want to hear democrats don't want to hear. what was one of the first things barack obama did when he took office, sliced the defense budget to have more money to spend on welfare. the world we live in when we don't have enough aircraft carriers to cover europe, the middle east and china, the south pacific, who put us in that situation? the democrats. they've got their priorities wrong. of any was embarrassing america it is the gaining on capitol hill with this bogus trial. >> donald trump has not gone overseas and apologized for america. >> he shouldn't apologize for america. that is what democrats do. barack obama didn't get anything done other than the a formal character because he spent 5 or 6 years apologizing

clampdown on migration flows from mexico to the us by forcing asylum-seekers to wait in mexico when the cases are decided. the president threatened mexico with economic sanctions if it failed to do so. the mexican president offered jobs in mexico if they entered the country in a peaceful way but by sunday mexico's immigration agency said many of those who had complied with the government's instructions would be sent back to their home country. in the discussed fusion, the statement through this spokesperson, quote, trump's threats led to a revision of what was going on at the southern border from mexico wasn't acting as a retaining wall. all risks were identified and mexico is adhering to the law. right now the trump administration has agreements with guatemala, el salvador and honduras to send migrants seeking us asylum to those countries. those asylum agreements are being challenged by the aclu. shannon: thank you. an update to a couple other

>> who should be the democrat nominee for president? the new york times isn't even sure. the rhetorical board deciding to endorse two candidates, elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar. how can the party expect all democratic voters to rally behind the additional nominee? thomas turner and democratic strategists angela doran, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. i will let you begin here. what do democrats make of this when democrats can't make up their mind? >> one thing democrats ought to make of this is the new york times sees the two women are qualified to be president of the united states.

>> the reasoning, radical and realist model, if there were ever a time to be new ideas is now. if there were ever a time, now as it. that is why we are endorsing the most effective advocate for each approach but their approaches negate each other. it comes to a 0 end game when it comes time to endorse both. >> this speaks to the identity crisis the democrat party seems to be in with their base leaning towards the more progressive socialist model and the washington dc insiders knowing they need to have a moderate to put up some sort of challenge to donald trump in november. the interesting thing is why the new york times would do

this, it is a quick paid article to pay their electric bill. no impact on the primary, neither candidate has a chance of winning the primary. the polls is neither of them having a chance in the first dozen or so states. it shows how out of touch they are in the democrat party is in a real trouble spot right now. shannon: is this an indication of problems in the party? >> it is vindication the party is broad-minded and can see -- we have new women leaders like nancy pelosi taking by and being incredibly powerful. the same is true of these two. shannon: we can pull back

responses, and elizabeth warren saying amy klobuchar and i are undefeated from elections and undefeated in new york times endorsements. and a nice short sweet. in terms of the different polls that are out right now, in this base, is there something going on and behind-the-scenes that impact biden down the road? >> everyone knows the party does not want bernie sanders to be president, they did everything they could to keep him from being the nominee. they wanted joe biden. maybe endorsing joe biden would have been too obvious. elizabeth warren is higher in the polls than klobuchar. endorsing her will hurt bernie sanders and in the end helps

joe biden. it is an effort by the mainstream media to work in cooperation with the dnc to undercut bernie sanders and the will of the democratic voters in this primary. shannon: we have a long way to go. heather: kids don't realize how good they have it. >> could get $0.75 a week allowance instead of $0.25. >> $0.75. that is a lot of money. julie: shocking salary modern-day parents give their kids.
