as players threw punches at the end the last night's blow out. police had to be called in to break up this fight no. word on if anyone is going to be punished. >> have a good day. steve: we have a fox news alert. it is 12 noon right now in davos, switzerland. we are awaiting a news conference with president trump as he is wrapping up day two at the world economic forum there in switzerland. ainsley: that's right. this follows the bilateral meetings with the leaders of kurdistan and the leader of iraq how see there. pete: chief white house correspondent john roberts joins us live from davos as president pushes his america first agenda. good morning -- good afternoon. >> pete, ainsley and steve good morning to you. or is it afternoon. he pushes the agenda and edge of the envelope. run from this live shot to talk to him at this press conference that he just announced a couple minutes

ago. in his bilateral meeting with the iraqi president, we should points out this is the first time that the president has spoken with an iraqi official face to face since the president ordered the takedown of the iranian general qassem soleimani. in the wake of that the iranian parliament passed a resolution saying it wanted all u.s. troops out of the country. president trump raised the idea of leveling sanctions on iraq if the united states wasn't treated well. the president was asked about both of those things this morning just a couple of minutes ago. let's listen to what he said. >> what is the plan to iraq. >> we're talking about a lot of different things. you will be hearing whatever we do. they like what we are doing. and we like them. we have had a very good relationship. i can only speak for my administration. and we are down to a very low number. we're down to 5,000. so we are down to a very low number. historically low. we will see what happens. >> are you still considering

sanctions against iraq? >> we will see what happens. because we do have to do things on our terms. >> we will see what happens. they do have to do things on their terms as he does with the united states as well. saleh, we should point out, he is a kurd, but he was skill concerned about what the repercussions of taking out soleimani will be, so we will keep following that into the future and see where that relationship goes. the president worked late into the night but so did his legal team there in washington. the president woke up this morning and just as finishing up in the senate. on his way into the conference center the president was asked what he thought about the proceedings so far. listen here. >> mr. president, good morning, are you happy with your legal team? >> they are doing a very good job. >> did you watch the trial. >> we have a great case. >> senate in earnest. the president will be leaving on air force one in

about an hour's time. so the president will be most of the way back to the united states by the time things get underway. he will get to watch some of it on air force one. some of it at the white house, too. when he gets right back. we have this hastily called news conference, steve, ainsley, and pete that i have got to run to. pass it back to you. break down and go live from there. steve: john roberts live from a little afternoon. go ahead and take off the microphone. take the thing out of your ear. turn around and run down the mountain. >> do you want me to run up the stairs of the library in philadelphia again? steve: you already did that and it was a classic cable moment. ainsley: thank you, john. we are expecting impromptu press conference the president is going to speak soon. broadcast it live to you. the president will go to zerich will he will board air force one and head back home. pete: seen this before on the world stage. as things unfold the president wants to put a cherry on top of the

proceedings and provide his point of view after a couple days dog on the worlkaycupdays. he spoke to maria bartiromo which will air on the channel very shortly. here is a portion of what he said. >> he is wasting his money. he is not going to win. he can't. he is a terrible speaker. he can't speak properly. he is not a charismatic guy. he has got money. he will spend as much money as he can. >> hillary clinton about bernie she said no one likes him. no one wants to work with him. he gets nothing done. pelosi has anymore jury duty. are they colluding against bernie. >> when hillary says nobody likes him. nobody likes her. that's why she lost. nobody liked her. and it wasn't even close. 306 to 223. she is the one that people don't like. i think if i had my choice,

in terms of personality, i might take him over her. but i probably would take neither. [laughter] steve: the he was referring to at the very beginning was mike bloomberg, former mayor of the city that the president used to live in new york city. ainsley: said he is wasting his money. steve: wasting his money, indeed. what's interesting about that particular clip and see the entirety of what he spoke to maria about was he didn't really talk much about impeachment. we saw him walk through the hall there and he said i got a great team. i've got a great case. yesterday when asked about it he simply said it was a hoax. he is not getting into the nuts and bolts. clearly that is a legal and political strategy. don't get into the weeds while it's going on. pete: focus on the great work being done in the economy and the -- and everything that he has showcased at davos. ainsley: he was tweeting jobs, jobs, jobs. brad parscale who is running his campaign will be on

today. there was an article, an interview with the guy who helped bloomberg win all the mayoral interviews in new york. kevin she canny. he said right now if the election was held i think president trump is probably reelected and then he complimented brad running a campaign in six states. not just running a national campaign and doing exceptionally well. steve: we should see the president of the united states, we are going to have impromptu news conference and currently brad brad parscale scheduled to be with us this hour as well. it's 6:06 here in the east. it was 4 hours ago. about 2:00 in the morning that day one of the impeachment hearing concluded and there you can see one of the escalators below the u.s. senate. ainsley: yeah. the chief justice is going to go get some sleep and then he has cases this morning supreme court and have to be back at the senate. senators approving the rules after nearly 12 hours of

debate it. got so heated at one point that chief justice john roberts had to step in. >> i think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the house managers and the president's counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world's greatest deliberative body. steve: he said that after jerry nadler was talking about how if these senators here do not go ahead and vote to allow witnesses, then they are complicit, they are obstructing justice. they are part of the cover-up. pete: that's right. the president's team pushed back on that. the chief justice had something to say. griff, you are live from statuary hall with the moments good night, good morning, whatever it is. >> they say nothing good happens after midnight. that's why shortly before 1:00 a.m. chief justice roberts had to reign things in citing a 1905 precedent

when the house manager used the word pedi fogging putting undue amount of emphasis on petty details. the dishonesty accusations of the house managers part of that here is some of what we heard from messrs nadler and schiff. >> i see a lot of senators voting for a cover-up. voting to deny witnesses and absolutely indefensible. obviously a treacherous vote. >> president trump gave his word he would drain the swamp. you have seen his personal lawyer go to jail. his campaign chairman go to jail. his deputy campaign chairman convicted of a different crime. the list goes on and on. >> he was also, chief justice roberts upset with the personal attacks at one point. pat cipollone leading the white house team taking a stab at nadler. it wasn't the first time we heard from trump's defense team and their case that

they were making that basically the discovery period is over. listen. >> the time for the house managers to bring their case is now. they had their chance to develop their evidence before they sent the articles of impeachment to this chamber. >> they are asking you to use your office to remove your political opponent from the ballot. that's wrong. that's not in the interest of our country. and to be honest with you, it's not really a show of confidence. >> 3:00 a.m. they passed down party lines 53-47 majority leader mcconnell's framework for this trial. mcconnell hasn't ruled out witnesses. we could possibly get there next week. 11 mention by minority leader schumer shot down no. republican crossing the aisle except for one senator susan collins on one amendment allowing briefs,

making that a 52 40eu 8 vote. really only time will tell whether or not schumer's strategy of trying to get all this throughout in what was a marathon day will work or not. it all resumes again at 1:00 today with a lot of sleepy senators and certainly an exhausted chief justice i presume. guys? steve: thank you very much, griff. luckily it's so exciting. if you watched some of it snippets. we are showing you the good stuff. it was unbelievably boring. i don't know people can follow it. ainsley: basically republicans approve the rules. democrats over and over and over. we want witnesses. we want witnesses. schumer wants 11 different things. different amendments. including subpoenaing mick mulvaney and including subpoenaing john bolton. the republicans have said no, no, no, no, no. some republicans are saying maybe in the next phase we'll there are those holdouts, those that might vote with the democrats on this. the democrats, if they all 45 vote for witnesses, if those two independents vote for witnesses all it would take is four republicans to

say yes. and then there would be witnesses. right now republicans are saying no. pete: we will see what happens with that we watched so that you don't have to watch the entire thing. if you watched it, you felt like you were watching opening arguments. those haven't even started yet. this is just the debate over the rules. i was sitting back last night thinking this is a circus. my wife jen corrected me. at least sir curses are entertaining. this is just a show you know how it's going to end 53-47 on every vote. now you have three days to endure of the house managers, the democrats making their case. ainsley: i don't think the majority people watched they turned to us to be able to summarize it for them because it was so long. steve: turned it on oh, wait, didn't i hear this a couple weeks ago? don't i know how this is going to end? pete: hear it again tomorrow? steve: yesterday, actually, with some of the opening arguments we heard yesterday and the day before very clear what the talking points are. unless they allow witnesses, which are supposed to be interviewed during the house

procedure because the senators just sit there as the jurors and figure out okay, they presented all this stuff democrats going after if the republicans don't allow witnesses, it's a cover-up. they are implicit. there is no due process and that is regarding what adam schiff was talking about all day and your state senator lindsey graham tweeted about it last night. ainsley: he said quite frankly having adam schiff lecture the senate about fairness and due process is like listening to an arsonist talking about fire prevention. pete: he is not wrong. i felt the same way watching. the tone of schiff and nadler was this lecturing shaming tone of senators like do your job. uphold your oath. ainsley: meanwhile they didn't do their job. they should have called witnesses in the house. pete: that's the hypocrisy. is that really affective? are senators going to be shamed by house members you? are right i just advocated my responsibility.

i will have to cross the aisle and vote with you adam schiff. it doesn't feel effective. ainsley: they made really good points that drove it home for me. the house have the ability by the to impeach. they did that they sent their impeachment over to the senate and then they go and argue. they are not supposed to call witnesses. i heard lawyer after lawyer say if you this in a regular trial. if you came to trial and say i want to call witnesses. they would say you don't even have a case. that's what the president's team said. pat cipollone, who is the president's lawyer said this is supposed to be a trial. they want new witnesses because they can't prove their case. and then jay sekulow said even if they did come. even if you subpoena mike mulvaney and john bolton, they are not allowed to talk. they are protected because the constitution says they are advising the president and those conversations are executive privilege. steve: they want the argument they want to have that political argument if front of the country over whether or not mic mulvaney. pete: is it in front of the country if it happens at 1:00 a.m. steve: prime time out on the

west coast. pete: c-span prime time. steve: remember in the run up to this and the vote in the house. the democrats said the secretary of defense overwhelming. now they are saying we need more evidence. we need more witnesses. the president did sit down the last two hours with maria bartiromo and talked about this the hypocrisy of what's going on in d.c. >> who knows? but, if this were president obama instead of president trump, if this were the other side, people would have long ago been in jail. i will till we have a great attorney general. he is highly respected. he is a highly ethical man. self-doing a fantastic job. let's see how it comes out. nancy pelosi is a disgrace to our country and ought to spend more time trying to look at san francisco which is going to hell. you look at what is going on in san francisco. people don't even recognize it as a city. steve: one of the things that apparently is going on behind the scenes in the "the washington post" apparently some democratic senators are doing some negotiating. they are talking about

actually trading hunter biden's testimony for john bolton. how does joe biden feel about that? joe, call us. just curious. pete: i have seen that sounds like behind the scenes. not any sort of official negotiation at that point. ainsley: does that mean republicans are extremely confident about what john bolton would say? steve: no. democrats are desperate to get him on the stage. pete: that's right. ainsley: they are desperate for impeachment. they don't care if it's throwing the bidens under the bus. steve: after they had two votes the vote to start on the amendments, the republicans won all and now we move on to day 2. 1:00 this afternoon you will see it right here on fox. coming up. ainsley: thousands of assessment supporters rallied in virginia. that hasn't stopped democrats from advancing new gun laws. pete: tomi lahren is live and she is coming up next. steve: no coffee allowed during the impeachment. but there is a candy drawer.

being considered this week. their messages following on deaf ears as democratic lawmakers wasted no time advancing democratic agenda in the senate. pete: have the votes and moving forward. here to weigh in fox nation

host tomi lahren. the bill at issue front and senator in virginia is red flag laws. explain what is so dangerous about the idea of red flag laws? >> two, the average person, when you talk about taking firearms from those deemed dangerous to themselves and others, it sounds like common sense gun safety reforms until you realize it's actually infringement on due process and really a domino affect that can be really horrific for second amendment rights that's why these activists were out marching. that's what we were talking about elections have consequences when you vote in all democratic legislature you give over control your rights and freedoms will be under attack as we are seeing in virginia and even the thousands of people marching saying we don't want our rights infringed on they will be ignored. the democrats have the votes so they will go onward. that's why we need to be more active in pursuit of better election results. steve: you mentioned due process.

the question is with these red flag laws, who decides a gun will be taken away from somebody? that's what it comes down to. is it a doctor? is it when your neighbor calls my neighbor is scaring me you should come and take their guns? who should decide. >> that's what's terrifying for a lot of gun right activists and americans concerned about their freedoms in general. you know, as trump supporters, we are often seen as dangerous by those who don't agree with us. are we going to have somebody call in and say we are dangerous because we are trump supporters because they call us all kinds of names. that's the snowball effect that a lot of gun rights activists are concerned about with these red flag laws. again, they start with red flag laws. this is not with are they are going to stop. they have a whole list of things they want to do a whole list of infringements. this the is first one. the one they find most palatable. it will continue on and on and on. and any incorporate fringement should worry about gun rights activists. ainsley: if you seen the red flag and reported red flag

some of these school shootings might not have happened. you don't infringe on someone's right to have a gun or a neighbor that doesn't like the other guy because of politics calling and taking his gun away. what's coming up on no interruption on fox nation? >> well, again, again, it's all about freedom as we normally talking talk about on fox nation. i actually sat down with the young leader young leaders against socialism. on a project to interview those who survived socialism and communism and she is telling the stories and i'm telling hers. ainsley: i think we have a clip. >> i talk to a lot of young people like you do, they don't know what socialism. >> i have seen opportunity to show them what it really. >> i watched venezuela collapse under socialism. >> they want big government to control you. they want to take away your freedom. >> we allow socialism to take over this country, we are all doomed. steve: that looks like a young person. the first one you spoke to from campus on college campuses though the wave of socialism and the acceptance of that idea has really

caught on in the last couple of years. >> it has. and that's why morgan, the young lady that i talked to like myself throughout trying to educate young people. they believe they like socialism because they don't know what socialism is. if we can get through to them and tell stories of those who have lived through it and survived it and they can tell those stories in a very real world example we are hoping we can change lives and shave it country. we can never be a socialist nation. pete: tomi, we are waiting for a press conference. the president is still in davos. is he going to address the press. when he does, we will take it. weigh on if you would how young people watch -- the president overseas talking about our gang busters economy versus what is happening in the senate effective layoff retirement home debates whether he should be impeached. how are young people seeing this? >> unfortunately a lot young people aren't seeing it as well as a lot of americans aren't seeing it as you talked about earlier. this is deja vu we have heard this over and over and over again.

not just for weeks but for years now. the american people and sick and tired of it. it's always great when we have the president address these people and have press conferences. the people need to hear from their president. he says it best. is he always very clear and very direct. i hope young people are listening because this man is doing great things for our country he has had to endure an endless witch-hunt that's not going to stop in the coming weeks or after he is reelected. we will see this happen again after we have this president reelected in 2020 they will never stop because their obsession and trump derangement syndrome completely overtakes their reason and love of country. ainsley: what do you make of the contrast he is davos. last week signing china deal and usmca. all the democrats are embedded in impeachment in washington. stark contrast. >> a lesser president would let this affected them far more and might be hindered from doing presidential duties and making this nation great again. our president isn't. is he rolling along and dealing with impeachment

witch-hunt but also doing great things for this country. he will not stop doing great things for the american people. he realizes he is under attack more than anything. he realizes that the american people runsd attack when we are going after a president and the administration is doing great things for the american people. he is going to keep going. that's what we expect from this president and that's why he will be reelected again. is he you will hand links well. steve: look at the polls. his approval rating going up, tomi. >> absolutely. because he is still doing great things for this nation. and he is going to continue to do those things. i think the american people are really bored with this. i think they are really tired of hearing the show boating from the democrats who don't want to talk about their own presidential nominee. they would much rather talk about donald trump and go after this president than talk about the socialist that their party wants to elect into the white house. they would much rather talk about that because they quite frankly have nothing else to talk about. it's not doing good things for them but the alternative might be far worse.

so they are picking this race and it's going to be a loser for them. then again, they don't have much else. steve: we will see what else. pete: waiting for press conference from the president in davos. we are not hearing much coverage about the democratic primary. which are what are we two and a half weeks from iowa? steve: it's still early. the press conference is supposed to happen two minutes ago. we think it's going to happen two minutes from now. we will take a two minute break or so and we'll be back with more "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

pete: we are still awaiting the press conference. deadly and contagious virus from china made its way into the u.s. president trump weighed in trying to calm the fears. >> we have one person right now as you know and quarantined and we got lucky, actually. we are in great shape. cdc did a fantastic job. immediately got the person. and we think we are in good shape. >> so do you think that people should be worried when they are traveling the airport? >> no. not at all. i don't think they should be worried. steve: the cdc centers for disease control said that the man that the president is talking about is in thinks 30's is in isolation in washington state after traveling from china. he is doing all right at this point. officials are trying to track down others he may have affected in the united states. ainsley: nine people have

died and 440 have contracted the virus. here to explain exactly what the virus is fox news medical correspondent marc siegel. we saw those images of people going checking temperature and heart rate we thought oh, sorry for them but it's not in america. now we are learning it is. should would he be worried? >> we shouldn't be worried because of what the president said. is he absolutely right. we have to calm fears. fear is a second virus here. and if we get panicked over this we are going to spread more virus because we take fewer precautions. our centers for disease control do what's called contract casing. where they look to see who this patient was in contact with over the past few days. here's the problem. they can screen you at the airport but can you go three or four days without having symptoms after you are infected. that's a very hard part of this. that's called a pro-dream. that's what i'm particularly worried about. who were you in contact before. the other problem is that the chinese officials are not necessarily fully forthcoming here. with how many people are

infected. i think the way that this is spreading that it's probably over 1,000 people and may be more deaths than nine. i'm concerned about that. we don't know how contagious yet and we don't know how deadly yet. steve: we just put the symptoms for the coronavirus fever, sore throat, runny nose, cough, headache. that presents itself like the flu and it's flu season. flu season in china, too. >> historically people saying this is so much like sars. sars was from. anna: mall to a person. they thought this was from animal to person. now it turns out it can be person to person. >> it's because these viruses change all the time. they mutate. and then they come into a form that's much easier to spread. we don't have a treatment for this. we don't have a vaccine. i talked to tony fouchy yesterday. a vaccine is in the works but a couple years away. steve: mark, thank you very much. we are going to go right now to breaking news.

ainsley: the president is holding a news conference before he leaves davos. is he work walking up to the podium. >> good afternoon, we have had a tremendous two days here. we will be heading right back after this conference and just concluded some additional meetings. we have had a lot of them. and davos has treated us really beautifully. it's been a tremendous success. everybody is talking about america's unprecedented economic success. it's really the talk of the town so to speak. sings my election, america has gained over 7 million new jobs. the unemployment rate is now the lowest in over half a century. the average unemployment rate for my administration is the lowest of any u.s. president in recorded history. which is very nice. we have some good ones. we have some bad ones too by the way. unemployment rates among african-american, hispanic american. asian americans has reached

a record low in the history of our country. the lowest. african-american youth unemployment has reached the lowest in the history of our country. so proud of that. african-american poverty numbers have plummeted to their lowest rate ever reported. doing really well. unemployment rate for women has reached the lowest level in almost 70 years. and the veterans unemployment rate dropped to a record low. unemployment rate for disabled americans has reached its all-time record. workers without a high school diploma have received achieved the lowest unemployment rate from history. so important. without a high school diploma we have a lot of great people that don't have a high school diploma so we have record low unemployment. a record number of young americans are now employed.

we have the highest number of people working in our country than we have ever had before. we never had anything even close. almost up to 160 million. we lifted 10 million people off of welfare and, you know all about food stamps. we talk about it all the time. but millions and millions of people don't need food stamps anymore. it's not that we have lifted them off, which we have, but they don't need them anymore. they have jobs. they are doing really well. the u.s. stock markets have soared and they have reached the highest point that they have ever ever had. we have made at least $19 trillion in terms of wealth, in terms of wealth creation for our country. beyond the stock markets. and we are now by farther biggest economy in the world. china would have caught us. they were getting very close. it was anticipated in 2019 -- this is more many

years i'm not telling you any secrets by 2019 china would become the largest economy in the world. and right now we are much larger. but we have a great new deal with china. great deal. i would say our best relationship that we have ever had with china on top of everything else. and we're starting phase 2. phase one turned out to be much bigger than we anticipated because we have intellectual property protections. we have many of the financial deals and aspects of the financial deals that we wanted we got done. and other things. in addition to the farmers, we have got the total complete package for the farmers. and we think that -- we estimate that will be anywhere between 40 and $50 billion. the number, i think, is going to be closer to 50 billion. the most they have ever done is 16. so we go from 16 to anywhere from 40 to 50 billion that they will be purchasing. we are an economic power house like actually we have never been.

jobs, factories, companies are pouring back into the united states. that's one of the reasons i have been in davos we have had conversations with other leaders of other countries. where we have traditionally had tremendous deficits. i see you have to move factories and plants. they took a lot of them. now they are going to move them back. they are not going to move them back. the companies are moving back. the companies want to be here. the countries understand we have to balance out our trade. we are doing incredibly well in that way. one of the people that was very important for me to meet from the world trade organization is roberto asvedo he is a highly respected man. he happens to be this gentleman right here. i thought i would have him say a few words. the organization dispute running with him for quite a while because our country hasn't been treated fairly. china is viewed as a developing nation. india is viewed as a

developing nation. we are not viewed as a developing nation. we are a developing nation, too. they have tremendous advantages by the fact that they were considered developing and we weren't. and they shouldn't be. but if they are, we are. and we are talking about a whole new structure for the deal or we will have to do something. but, the world trade organization has been very unfair to the united states for many, many years. and without it, china wouldn't be china. china wouldn't be where they are right now. that was the vehicle that they used. and i give them great credit and i also don't give the people that were in my position great credit because frankly they let that all happen, but the vehicle was the world trade organization roberto and i have a tremendous relationship. we will do something that i think will be very dramatic. he will be coming with a lot of his representatives to washington some time maybe next week or the week after.

and we will start working on it. so i would like to introduce just for briefly roberto and say a few words on behalf of the wto and then i'm going to introduce larry kudlow to say exactly where we are in terms of our economy. some of you know but we have had some tremendous numbers just over the very recent past. so, please, roberto. >> thank you, mr. president. and i think it's fair to say that we have been saying for quite some time that if the multilateral system if the wgo is to deliver and perform it world in today's global economy, it has to be updated. it has to be changed. it has to be reformed. this is an agenda that is squarely before members. i don't think anybody in geneva misses the point. i think they understand that the system has not been functioning properly in many areas. that's something that we are trying to address. i'm very happy that in the

conversation today with president trump he agreed that this is something that needs to happen change. we are committed to effect those changes and this is something that we're serious about. and i am going to be, together with president trump, as soon as possible, discussing what needs to change, what needs to be affected in the wgo and we are committed to doing that of course, i will be talking to all the other wto members this is serious. this is a path we have to be on together if we want to make relevant and performing to today's requirements frankly. so thank you very much, mr. president. it's an honor to be with you and with everybody else. thank you. >> thank you. >> larry, please. larry kudlow. >> thank you, sir. i think we are coming into the new year with a lot of positive momentum in the economy.

again, i wan i want to i want to repeat the speech lower tax rates across the board. deregulation, energy independence and breaking down trade barriers for better deals for exporting. just recently we have seen all the confident surveys are strong. consumer confidence, business confidence, small business confidence, the huge stock market rally which continues i believe is a sign of business and consumer confidence and predicting an even stronger economy in 2020. also lately housing markets are very strong, we have seen some huge numbers in new housing starts and existing and new home sales. that's a great omen. it's a leading indicator. and even with softness in manufacturing last year. we are seeing now the ihs market surveys for pmi manufacturing up four straight months for the u.s.

and i think that's a terrific sign of a come back. i think the president's trade deals have inspired a lot of confidence among large and small businesses and i think it's going to add at least a half a point to g.d.p. this year. i think we are going to be moving into the 3% zone. we still have to cope with the slow down in boeing. we will see how that plays out. i think usmca and the china deals are going to add a lot to growth this year and the years ahead and the great part about this to me, i have been around for a while look under the hood with this growth spiri spurt. virtually no inflation which itself is a remarkable development it, is the american middle class it, is the american blue collar middle class, they have the fastest wage growth and, in fact, the lower wage folks are getting the fastest wage

increases, exceeding significantly from what their managers are making. and i would add, also, as the president has indicated, in the stock market rally i know it's commonplace it say it only helps a few rich people, that's just not true over half the households in this country own shares through 401(k)s and iras and brokerage accounts you look at the numbers and a great slide book on this the bottom 50% has had 47% increase in their net wealth consumer net wealth between home prices and share prices and that is a booster rocket for this economy. it not only gives them confidence. it gives them some serious spending power. and consumer spending numbers bear it out. so ours is an optimistic message and i think the president really carried the day in his speech yesterday. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much, larry. when you think that soon it

will start pretty soon. it's already started to a certain extent. i asked them to do it. china is going to be purchasing more than $250 billion worth of goods from our country. that's massive. those are numbers that nobody has ever heard of before. and that number can grow. it can grow. with time it's going to grow substantially, i predict. and then you have the usmca, mexico, canada and that's massive numbers we are talking about there. and we made a deal with japan, $40 billion and we made a deal with south korea, that's a tremendous deal also, that was a horrible deal and we turned it into a really good deal. so it was really something. while we were in davos, most of you know this, we met with the world leaders, various world leaders, including the president of the european commission who we are going to start negotiating a trade deal with because the european

commission was frankly in many ways tougher than china. i say that respectfully but that's the tway is. they have taken advantage for a long time. so we will have a deal i suspect. we are going to be make a deal otherwise we will have to do something else. i think they are going to make a deal. they haven't wanted to negotiate with past presidents but they are going to negotiate with me. the president of the swiss con federation who has been very nice and terrific. the president of kurdistan. we had a tremendous meeting. along with president sauli of iraq. prime minister khan of pakistan, and president ghani of afghanistan. in addition we met with many of the business leaders, both at breakfast today and lunch yesterday. and dinner yesterday. many of you were at those meetings at least for a little while. and tremendous numbers of jobs will be coming into the united states. a lot of these leaders, these are the biggest business leaders in the

world. and this morning was very especially. i mean, thes ---inspirational.tl and we have companies from europe, companies from asia now coming to the united states. that's where the action is, as one of them said. that's where the action is it's really been great. and now we will be going, we will be leaving and going back to washington. okay? yes. >> mr. president, [inaudible] >> go ahead. >> mr. president, do you want to hear from witnesses in the impeachment trial? your team -- >> -- i will tell you the way i look on it. it's a total hoax. it's a disgrace. they talked their tremendous case. and it's all done, their tremendous case. they had no case. it's all a hoax. it's a con job like schiff. he is a corrupt politician. now, i will leave that to the senate. the senate is going to have to answer that i have great

respect for the senate as a body and many of the individuals. i have great respect. so i will leave that to the senate. but this is the greatest witch-hunt. this started from the day i came down with the future first lady. the day we came down the escalator this started. and i watched the -- they have been driven crazy. do you know what's driven them crazy all of these record numbers on unemployment, african-american, asian-american, you take a look, hispanic american numbers that nobody is even believing. they looking at all of this and looking at the tremendous success, the likes of which they have never seen before in this country. they have never seen anything like this. >> and it's driven the democrats crazy. as congressman al green said. he is a beauty. congressman green said we got to beat him by impeachment because we can't beat him in the election. and i hope that's true because honestly they can't beat me in the election. i don't think they can.

i know what i will be running against one way or the other, it's one of them. and i think we are going to do very well. i think we are going to do well because nobody has done in the first three years, less than three years because a lot of these numbers were taken from two months ago, the end of two months ago, in less than three years, nobody has done the kind of numbers we have done. so i'm going to head back and i will be watching it. it's really going to be up to the senate and we will have them make that determination. >> yes, mr. president, you were the keynote speaker here but you shared some of the spotlight with a scanned scandinavian teen greta van grea thunberg how said. >> i didn't say anger, i said anger management. >> she had some very strong words here that the united states and other industrialized countries need to do more. do you still feel that you

are doing enough? >> how old is she? >> she is 17. >> that's good. >> what is your response. >> she beat me out on "time" magazine. >> did you hear from other world leaders and business leaders that they state that she has a message. >> no, i didn't, actually. i would have loved to have seen her speak. did i not. i think what is aspects of it are. i think that some penal are -- they put it at a level that is unrealistic to a point you can't live your lives. we want to have the cleanest water on earth. we want to have the cleanest air on earth. the numbers as you saw we had record numbers come out very recently. our numbers are very, very good. our environmental numbers. our water numbers are numbers on air are tremendous. we have to do something about other continents. we have to do something about other countries. when we are clean and beautiful and everything is

good but you have another continent where the fumes are rising at levels that you can't believe. i mean, i think greta ought to focus on those places. but we are doing better right now than we have ever done in terms of cleanliness and in terms of numbers. we have a beautiful ocean called the pacific ocean with thousands and thousands of tons of garbage flows towards us and that's put there by other countries. so i think greta has to started working on those other countries. by the way, congratulations on your show. >> thank you very much. >> they made a very wise decision. >> thank you very much. we invite you for an interview whenever you are available. can i ask you just to be clear and it's for future presidents, is abuse of power an impeachable offense? >> well, you are going to talk to the lawyers about it. but i will tell you there is nothing here. i had a very innocent conversation with a very finer gentleman president of ukraine and it was based on

that. i got to watch glimpses between these meetings i just talked to you about. i got to watch glimpses of what is taking place, wasting time in washington. and i watched. they don't talk about my conversation. they don't talk about my transcripts. remember this, when schiff made up the phony story and he peteed it to congress and the world and it was totally phony story, i released a transcript there was supposed to be a second whistleblower what happened to anymore wait, wait, otherwise i won't do your show. wait, there was supposed to be an informer. what happened to the informer? all of these people disappeared. when they saw this transcript, they said we have got problems. but they went ahead because they were already there because they had a phony concocted story made up. so here's the story. did nothing wrong. it was a perfect conversation, it was totally appropriate. the best lawyers in the world have looked at it. the department of justice has looked at it.

given it a sign-off. there was nothing wrong. they never thought i was going to release the conversation. they probably didn't think we had transcribers or we had transcribed or taped. but they never thought we were going to release it. when we released that conversation, all hell broke out with the democrats because they say wait a minute, this is much different than shifty schiff told us. so, so we are doing very well. i got to watch enough. i thought our team did a very good job. honestly we have all the material. they don't have the material. >> i asked you because your attorney says it's not. alan dershowitz does not permit impeachment on abuse of power. criteria. for future presidents is abuse of power an impeachable offense? >> it depends. you take a look at this and from what everybody tells me, all i do i'm hun national weather service. i make great deals. i have made great deals for

our country. now working with the wto probably surprised by that long-term abusive situation. i make great deals for country and honest deals. when you read that transcription, and by the way, it wasn't one call, it was two calls. nobody likes to talk about that. there was one call which was perfect and then there was a second call, i guess a couple months later which i guess was perfect. the president of ukraine said it was perfect. the foreign minister of ukraine said it was perfect. so if we have a transcription, we have the call, and we have the person on the other side of the call saying it was good, now, here's the other thing, they got their money long before schedule. they got all their money. what nobody says is very important to me. why isn't germany paying? why isn't u.k. paying? why isn't france paying? why aren't the european nations paying? why is it always the sucker, united states, that's one and the other thing i wanted

to check very carefully and it's very important is corruption. and we do that, too. this was a perfect call and i think we're doing very well. [shouting] >> china trade deal we expect human rights in hong kong to be part of this discussion. >> we are discussing that already, yes. we would like to see if we can do something. again, we are doing a trade deal and it's very big deal. phase one is done. phase 2 is being discussed. we are discussing aspects of your question, yes. >> mr. president. >> mr. president. >> the call was perfect. >> mr. president, thank you, just to clarify we know the senate will set the rules for witnesses, but what do you want? at one point you demanded witness -- >> -- by the way, i will tell you what i think, it's such a hoax, i think it's so bad for our country when we have the head of the world

trade organization here and he has to listen to this nonsense about a call that was perfect. nobody talks about. i never see them talking about the transcription. i never see them talking about the call because there is nothing to say. you read it. somebody should sit there and read it. everybody is going to say you mean that's an impeachable event? if that were impeachable lyndon johnson would have have had to leave office in his first day. kennedy would have had to leave office his first day. it's a hoax. it's you understand it's a hoax better than anybody. it's a hoax. and that's the way it is. yeah. go ahead. >> mr. president a question on iran. initially you said repeatedly to americans that after iran retaliated for the soleimani strike no americans were injured. we now know at least 11 u.s. servicemen were air lifted from iraq. can you explain the discrepancy? >> no. i heard that they had headaches. and a couple of other things. but i would say and i can

report it is not very serious. >> you don't think that potential traumatic brain injury is serious. >> they told me days later. you have to ask the department of defense. i don't consider them very serious injuries relative to other injuries i have seen. i have seen what iran has done with roadside bombs to their troops. i have seen people with no legs and with no arms. i have seen people that were horribly, horribly injured in that area, that war. and in fact many cases put those bombs put there by soleimani who is no longer with us. and i consider them to be really bad injuries. no, i do not consider that to be bad injuries. no. >> mr. president, trade deal, timeline for that and if you don't hit that timeline, are you automatically going to go or is there another avenue other than -- >> -- great question, actually. i don't have a timeline but maybe i do on my own mind. they have to move relatively

quickly but they have to treat us fairly. the european union was formed pretty much for this reason, i suspect. if you really think about it. why was it formed. they formed there airplane company which does he have nicely and now it's doing better than ever because boeing has not had a good time of it. they have -- they better start recovering fast. i hope they do. they have good people in there now. they have great people in the company. they have great people leading it now. hopefully that will be taken care of. i have a date my mind. and it's a fairly quick date. and if we are unable to make a deal. then we will do even better. we will do even better. but they haven't treated us right. look, the united states has been losing 150 billion and more for many years. 150 billion. more. i mean, really more than that with the european union. they have trade barriers, where you can't trade. they have tariffs all over the place. they make it impossible.

they are frankly more difficult to do business with than china. we have a great relationship with china now. we had some testy moments. very testy. beyond testy. worse than a lot of people would understand. but we got it done. and i think phase 2 will go nicely also. but with the european union and frankly i wil will be honest i wanted to wait until i finished china want to work on respectfully europe. but europe, you know, so beautiful, i guess, a lot of us come indirectly from europe isn't that nice? but they are actually more difficult to do business with than china all tough do is ask boris. i think boris is going to be okay, too. he has a lot of guts. i think he is in a good position, which they would have never been able to do before boris. i have a very specific date in my mind.

[inaudible] >> i think we will have a deal before. >> with the eu? >> i think so. they have to do that. look, i'm not saying it from strength or from weakness. i'm just saying they have to do it. they wanted to make a deal. our nation, our country wanted to make a deal under president obama. the eu refused to talk to them. and then they said no, no. we like it the way it is. of course they like it the way it is. they are making 150 billion plus, right? and as you know president bush desperate to make a deal. they wouldn't even talk to him. we will have a deal. if we don't have a deal we will do even better. >> is it true that you are considering extending the travel ban and if -- >> -- yes. >> if so which countries. >> we have a travel ban, it's a very powerful ban. and a lot of i heard a reporter recently say he lost the ban in court. they didn't say that we won it in the supreme court. i would say that's a little

deceptive, john, wouldn't you? they said he lost the travel ban. i didn't lose the travel ban. the travel ban was lost in the lower courts and won in the supreme court two years ago. no. we are adding a couple of countries to it. we have to be safe. our country has to be safe. you see what's going on in the world. our country has to be safe. so we have a very strong travel ban and we will be adding a few countries to it. >> can you give us a sense about the region. >> it's going to be announced very shortly. okay? >> mr. president. >> okay, john. >> thank you, mr. president, in regards to the proceedings going on in the senate, would you like to see this over quickly? would you like to see a thorough examination of the facts? what did you make of the dust-up between the white house counsel pat cipollone and jerrold nadler last night and are you absolutely against john bolton testifying? >> you are asking a lot of questions. first of all, jerrold nadler, i have known him a long time. he is a sleaze bag. everybody knows that pat

cipollone is a high quality human being. i was very impressed with that he had great emotion yesterday. pat is a brilliant guy. i have never seen that emotion. that's real emotion. that's because he knows this is a hoax. and i was very proud of the job he did. i have known jerry nadler for a long time. he has opposed many of my jobs. i got them all built very successfully built in new york. but, so we have yet another fight. isn't it amazing. isn't it surprising? isn't it amazing? if you look at other aspects or other parts of your question, i think that -- i would rather go to the long way. i would rather interview bolton. i would rather interview a lot of people. the problem with john is that it's a national security problem. you can't have somebody

whose in national security. if you think about it, john, he knows some of my thoughts. he knows what i think about leaders. what happens if he reveals what i think about a certain leader and it's not very positive and that i have to deal. it'sing about going to make the job very hard. he knows other things. and i don't know if we left on the best of terms. i would say probably not. you know. and so you don't like people testifying when they didn't leave on good terms. and that was due to me. not due to him. so we will see what happens. but, when you have a national security where you could call it presidential prerogative. you can just call it the way i look at it. i call it national security. for national security reasons. executive privilege, they say. so that would with john would certainly fit into that when you are a national security advisor, like this gentleman is doing a fantastic job, robert i think it's very hard.

i have actually gotten along well with john bolton. he didn't get along with other people. a lot of other people. when he knows my thoughts on certain people and other governments and we are talking about massive trade deals and war and peace and all these different things that we talk about, that's really a very important national security problem, i think having somebody. other people, mic mulvaney is probably around here some place. i would love to have mic go. but i think he has really expressed himself very well when he did a chris wallace interview. that was a very powerful interview. that was a long, tough -- chris is a very tough interviewer. a very talented guy. and, you know, i think there is not much he can add. he has been great. i will tell you what i don't like though i would like to have mike pompeo testify again that's a national security problem. i would love to have mike pompeo but it's a national security problem. i would love to have rick perry. rick perry has said i would love to testify. please let me testify.

he knows it's a hoax. he would love to testify. but we are dealing with national security. we are dealing with one other thing. our country has been tied up with this hoax from the day i came down the escalator. we have been fighting it, i have been fighting it from the day i have been elected. i would say probably long before. it could be long before i came down the escalator that some people have said that, which is hard to believe. wait, john. it's hard to believe. we have been fighting this. i would rather have -- personally, i would rather go the long route. it's horrible for our country. our country has to get back to business. we have people that are corrupt like adam schiff, who misquotes -- i don't mean misquotes, makes up a statement. he had no idea that i was going to release the transcript. he never thought i would do that. and for that i thank the president of ukraine. because we got their approval. he had no idea i was going

to do that. these are corrupt people, some of them. and some of them are just playing the political game. but, if you look at the poll numbers, my poll numbers are the highest they have ever been. if you look at the funding numbers. if you look at what the money raised by the republican party just set a record. nobody has ever done this before. it's because of the impeachment hoax. >> i have three. >> my husband had three. >> six. six in the family. >> thank you very much. do you plan to show up in any way, shape, or form at your trial. number two, you called kenneth starr a disaster in the past. do you still feel that way about him now and three, lev parnas has come forward and said you knew everything he was doing. >> he is a con man. i don't know him like a groupy. he shows up at fundraisers.

i don't know anything about him. i watch rudy. rudy is a terrific person, great crime fighter. best mayor in the history of new york city by far. solved the crime problem in new york. and i think it's very unfair the way the media has treated rudy giuliani. i will say this. parnas, i don't know, other than he probably contradicted to the pain along with tens of thousands of other people. and i take -- i mean, this weekend i was taking pictures with hundreds of people. they contribute to the republican party and i stand there and i take perks and every once in a while i will look at somebody and i say gee, i wonder when that picture is going to be in the "new york times" or the "the washington post" or on fox. you know, it's one of those things. i think rudy is a high quality person. >> why is he not on your legal team. >> because i don't want there to be a conflict. i would love to have rudy on my team. he could be a witness at some point if this whole sham continues. i would love to have rudy on the team. rudy is on my team just so you understand.

i would love to have him up there. it could be that he would have a conflict. rudy giuliani is somebody that i think the press has been very unfair. greatest mayor in the history of new york. think of it and one of the greatest crime fighters of the last 100 years. and he hates to see what's happening pause he knows corruption really better than anybody. >> kenneth star, how do you feel about that. >> ken starr is a terrific man. i did make that statement. i didn't think that bill clinton should have been impeached. and i thought it was terrible. i didn't know ken starr. i didn't think that bill clinton should have been impeached. i was pretty vocal about that. i didn't know ken. but what i do know is he was very smart. he was very tough. he was very talented. but in a certain way i was sticking up for clinton, for bill clinton. i sort of still feel that way. what he did was nothing

good. it was a lot of lying going on. there were a lot of things, lot of bad things with me there is no lying, no nothing. they don't have nothing. they don't even have a crime. they say only one that's ever been impeached i didn't commit a crime. then you get into high crimes and misdemeanors. but i didn't commit a crime. so i have great respect for ken but i didn't think that frankly bill clinton should been impeached. >> show up at your trial. >> i would love to go wouldn't that be great. >> why don't you go. >> i would love to sit in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces. don't keep talking because you may convince me to do it. >> do you think cipollone would want you there. >> i think he might have a problem. [laughter] i think he might. and by the way i think they have done a really good job. i think the other side has so lied. i watched the lies from adam schiff. he will stand and look at a microphone and talk like he is so aggrieved.

major sleaze bags. they are very dishonest people. very, very dishonest people. when somebody will make up a statement that i made when you remember the statement 8 times quid pro quo. 8 times. think of it. how can you say 8 times? that would mean i was asking somebody 8 different times for the same thing. what kind of a conversation would that be? if you asked once, that would be fine. if you asked twice -- how can you ask 8 times? they would say you are a loony tune, right? then he finished by saying don't call me, i will call you. and then i said that. he made that statement, don't call me, i will call you. he didn't say he made it up. now, ultimately he had to, in a sense apologize. he can hardly apologize. he had to apologize fortunately we had a tape. we had the transcripts. i am so happy that i had the transcripts. because it showed he is a liar and he is a fraud and

they continued to just go on and on. this has happened with me with the russian hoax. this has happened to me. i called it the witch-hunt. greatest witch-hunt in american history. and the mueller report, which exonerated. no collusion. after all of that two years, there was no collusion. and then what happened? jill stein from the green party gets called a russian agent by crooked hillary. and then tulsi gabbard, i don't know either of them. but i know they are not russian agents. gets called a russian agent. this is what these people do. they demean, and the press plays in because the press largely is their partner. and you know, one thing, if we could straighten out the press in our country, we would have a place that would be so incredible. the press is so dishonest. so corrupt. i read it all the time. i don't mind bad stories.

i deserve bad stories sometimes. but when i do something great or good, let it be written about good. same thing with other people. the corruption in the media, ace call it the fake news media is unbelievable and hopefully everybody is going to sort of learn a lesson. people got pulitzer prizes for their coverage of me. and it turned out they were totally wrong. other people sean hannity, rushbo. a lot of great writers got it write. they didn't get pulitzer prizes. they got it right. the russian hoax has a terrible thing. the dossier was a phoney deal, paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc. and used in the fisa courts totally illegally. this was a takedown attempt of a sitting president of

the united states. and we caught them. so let's see what happens. >> mr. president. >> mr. president. >> mr. president, would you consider delaying the state of the union if the impeachment trial -- >> -- no, you know, a very excellent writer, bob woodward, this time i will actually give him an interview, he said you are enjoying this, aren't you? i'm not enjoying it. you act like you are winning and you won. you are actually enjoying it. i said i'm not enjoying it. i'm doing it because it's very important what i'm doing. i consider what i have done here with this whole witch-hunt from day one, with the insurance policy, with the horrible statements made between strzok and paige and mccabe and comey who lied to congress and did so many other bad things. he lied and he leaked. when i finish, i think this

will go down as one of the greatest things i have done for this country. these are bad, corrupt people. these are bad people. and very bad for our country. thank you very much, everybody. thank you very much. steve: well, there you go. we have been listening for the last, i don't know, about 40 minutes the president of the united states at the world economic forum new davos, switzerland, he started out talking about the economy and then when he opened it up for questions because it is a news conference, naturally they wanted to know about the impeachment. regarding witnesses, he said he would leave that to the senate. regarding jerry nadler he said the president said i have known him for years he is a sleaze bag. he said of pat cipollone his attorney. he said he was very impressed with his performance yesterday. it was very emotional and he was very proud of it. ainsley: we all expected him to talk this morning after davos because is he about to get on air force one and head back to washington. this is his opportunity to talk about impeachment. defend himself, talk about his record, which he did. he talked bun employment numbers, lowest in years. created 7 million new jobs,

havhave you been able to click a button and make calls. click a button. i want to see what events my neighbors are doing. steve: directly connected. >> directly connected with us. it's taking the app. and the phone which we all have. you all have them sitting here on the table, and using that as the mechanism to communicate. so that we don't have to do it by hey, give you a call be over there. in realtime every day be connected with the campaign, the president and get closer to the election. pete: honest question here, as we watch the president in davos talking about our economy, we are suffering through what's happening through what's happening on the senate floor, when you look at independent voters, how engaged are they in the minute-to-minute the day-by day what's going on with impeachment? >> i actually asked that question. we ended up doing focus groups across the country. i was actually kind of shocked at how much people were clicking this off. they just -- they don't even actually know what's going on. yeah, this impeachment seems

like political theater. hundreds of people a few raised their hand to say i know what this is about. they see the economy. they see their jobs. they are doing well. they just -- you know, they already don't like congress so much. they already don't truths trust him. they see this as theater and i think it's boring. it's just boring. i mean, i did choose 9,000 tv channels, netflix or amazon or i can watch the impeachment. which is like watching paint dry. i couldn't even watch it last night and i'm paid to do it. ainsley: michael bloomberg's campaign manager said this about you brad is not running a national campaign. brad is running a campaign in six states and he is doing that exceptionally well. right now if the election was held, i think president trump probably is reelected. and that's one of the reasons mike bloomberg got into this campaign. is he referring to arizona, florida, michigan, north carolina, pennsylvania and wisconsin. you studied these states. are you worried about those states other others.

>> first mr. she canny, than she sheiky thanksfor sayine about me. greatest campaign on earth. not running in only six states. what he meant to say these are the six states that are kind of like win i wouldn't agree on which states they are. swing states versus -- he didn't say we are in 17 states. pete: what the is core of the trump team focus. >> growth states, new hampshires, new mexicos, the minnesotas, nevada, states we didn't win in 2016 i do think we can win in 2020. unbelievable numbers we got out thereof, new mexico rally was the greatest rallies i have ever seen where just the new excitement hey we can win this state increased latino voters. florida and ohio, they haven't even talked about those because we are doing so well. north carolina, the michigan, wisconsin. you have arizona. those states are still, i think arizona is pretty good for the president.

steve: you got some good news you said during the commercial about the state of georgia and the. >> yeah, there is a good polling coming out. public polling coming out from wisconsin. huge upticks now. democrats are finally had to go and talk about what policies they want. they couldn't sit around and say we are great. he is bad. now they actually have to say, you know, raise their hand, they want free healthcare for illegal immigrants when millions of americans trying to fix healthcare. raise their hands to socialized medicine. big government policies. get rid of your guns. all kinds of stuff, remove your constitutional rights. people are going wait, wait, wait. that's not what we signed up for. we want a economy. we want national security, great healthcare. fix our immigration problems. and now i think as those problems start to come down. they say that's going to affect my pocketbook. everybody is going to get a free education. free everything? somebody has to pay for it. that's probably going to be me. when those contrast policies come out. all the sudden the numbers

flip big. only went above 50% on approval. they are all under water. amazing what's happening when they finally have to start speaking about what they're doing for this country. steve: brad parscale. >> the boss took all my time. steve: you sat there very quietly on the couch for an hour. >> thank you. steve: president trump wrapped up his time in davos within the past half hour saying he will leave impeachment to the senate to decide whether or not to bring in witnesses. congresswoman elise stefanik is here to react and she is next. the minerals from the enamel. i like to recommend pronamel to my patients. pronamel will help push the minerals back into the enamel, to keep the enamel strong. i know it works. and i hear nothing but great things from my patients that have switched to it. i know it works. and i hear nothing but great things >> man: what's my my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. ...with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

that's verizon. >> the that the is going it have to ape that i have great respect for the senate. as a body and many of the individuals. steve: he will leave it up to the senate regarding witnesses. that's the president in the last half hour weighing in on impeachment democrats' push for more witnesses in the senate. this has congressman adam schiff, the leader of the house impeachment managers slams the senate impeachment process for not allowing more witnesses and documents. he wants them. >> not allowed to introduce evidence of his innocence. it's not a fair trial. so too for the prosecution. if the house cannot call witnesses or introduce documents and evidence, it's not a fair trial. it's not really a trial at

all. steve: here to react is president trump's legal team new york congresswoman elise stefanik. good morning to you. >> great to be here. >> so, you know, am i getting this wrong? wasn't it the job of the house to call all the witnesses, get all the information and then take the evidence the walk from the house over to the senate and say okay this is what we have gathered you decide. >> exactly right. the democrats' case so flimsy they are scrambling at this point. if you take a step back and really remember the house impeachment proceedings, republicans were not able to call our requested witnesses so adam schiff is being completely hypocritical, the only thing he has said that's accurate this is unfair trial. this is unfair to the president if you think about this impeachment process has been going for 70 plus days. yesterday was the first day that the president's legal team was even able to participate. that is unprecedented. that is not how the

precedent was for the nixon and clinton impeachment. the person who limited witnesses was adam schiff. steve: you remember when they said we want to hear from john bolton then they were going to go to court. then after of nowhere they say we are going to withdraw that subpoena from mr. bolton. they had their chance. and now they are saying that unless the senators in that house say okay, let's bring in a whole bunch of new faces, that then those republicans are part of the cover-up. they are complicit. they are obstructing justice. >> this process has been unconstitutional, unfair and unprecedented. and the fact that democrats chose not to pursue this in the courts shows they don't have a case. i think they were rushed on arbitrary deadline to get this done before the hollywoods. when it comes to witness questions, the republicans specifically and formally asked to call witnesses and adam schiff did not allow any republican witnesses to be called unless they were on the democrats 7 list it.

is unfair. adam schiff is unfair and the way is he conducting this is unconstitutional. steve: the republicans got two wins yesterday. first of all, the trial rules were passed along party lines. and chuck schumer brought up 11 different amendments trying to change the rules that mitch mcconnell wanted to follow. and every one of his 11 amendments was defeated. >> and that's a win for the republicans. it's a win for this country. and most importantly it's a win for american voters. i think what was one of the most important messages yesterday made by pat cipollone who did a very job. this is not about one election. this is about two elections. taking away the american people's vote. we have an election in less than a year. let the american people decide. steve: well, and the president said in his press conference of mr. cipollone that he had never seen that kind of emotion before. he was very proud of the performance of his legal team. there are not 20 members of the u.s. senate that are going to vote on the republican side to impeach

this president and kick him out of office. so why are they doing it? the cake has been baked. >> yeah. i think this is a waves time. when i'm home in my district which is every single weekend, i hear from voters. they want us to get back to doing the people's work. which is continuing to grow the economy. the president passed this great new trade deal usmca. we need to get back to working on behalf of the american people. they are tuning these impeachment hearings out. they know they have a vote this fall and they know the senate is not going to convict the president. the case is just not there this is the flimsy weakest case of impeachment in our nation's history. steve: kicks off again today at 1:00? >> yes. steve: good luck staying awake. elise stefanik, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. steve: todd piro is having breakfast with friends down in jupiter, florida. we will check in with him at the lighthouse diner coming

my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it,

you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. ainsley: the first day of the impeachment trial ending only five hours ago. pete: went until 2:00 in the morning. ending after 12 hours of debate. steve: they are not used to working 12 hour days griff jenkins is. he is inside the capital of

statuary hall. hey, griff. >> good morning, pete, ainsley and steve. remarkable as we are following this late, late impeachment trial just starting kicking off. the president across an ocean weighing in as well when it came to really the impeachment trial and this whole push by democrats for witnesses. here is what the president had to say. >> it's a total hoax. it's a disgrace. they talked about their tremendous case. it's all done, their tremendous case. it's a hoax. a con job like schiff. he is a corrupt politician. they are looking at this tremendous success. the likes of which they have never seen before in this country. they have never seen anything like this. it's driven the democrats crazy. as congressman al green said, he is a beauty. as congressman green said, we have got to beat him by impeachment because we can't beat him in the election. >> back here at home it was a marathon day because minority leader senator schumer tried to get 11

different amendments to call witnesses and produce new documents passed all were shot down mostly along party line votes. they were able to proceed forward. the house managers and the president's defense team who we heard from for the first time really getting vicious, nasty and personal at times. chief justice john roberts having to admonish them just before 1:00 a.m., listen. >> i think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the house managers and the president's counsel. those addressing the senate should remember where they are. >> he cited actually a precedent from 1905 when one house manager used the phrase pedestria petti fogging. pete: you are not a peti

fogger. steve: susan collins pushed for that and she got it. as you wake up on this wednesday morning, what are people all across america thinking about the impeachment? ainsley: did any of them watch it yesterday? steve: todd piro we understand is live at the lighthouse diner in jupiter, florida where it looks like it's standing room only, todd. todd: steve, i have never been to a diner this crowded. this is absolutely insane. and everybody here. [cheers and applause] todd: is against impeachment. instead of asking the question are you for impeachment, we are going to get into a little bit more nuanced answers. and we begin with ashley. ashley an obama voter, what are your thoughts on impeachment? >> well, i actually am not a republican. i'm not a democrat either. i am an independent. i did vote for obama. i voted against hillary clinton. i was iffy on trump. but you cannot argue with his results. lower unemployment. [cheers and applause] >> strong economy, fighting

for our soldiers. and i will tell you what, i will not vote for anyone -- i don't care if they're republican or democrat that stands in the way of the success that this nation is having. todd: ashley, thanks. we go over to samantha now. you say impeachment is a distraction from the president's accomplishments. why? >> absolutely. if you think about it that way, it makes perfect sense, he has all these goals. he has all of these things that he wants to fulfill. what other reason for impeachment besides wasting our time, wasting our person who and distracting americans and the president from fulfilling what we want to do. >> samantha, thank you for your time. dennis, you you are an air force veteran. you got pretty emotional. you said what is happening right now in congress is not what i fought for. why did you say that? >> we have the military out there that is still defending our rights and god bless this president for rebuilding our military. [applause] >> which was decimated under the obama administration. but here is a president that is a billionaire. he doesn't take a salary.

he don't united states it to charity. he is rebuilding our nation. and, yet, they want to impeach him. it's a sham. it's a sham. and it's a shame. and shame on these democrats that want to bring this before congress when we have fought to send them there to represent us. do what you are getting paid to do. todd: thank you for your service and your time. [cheers and applause] >> benny, you say this is all a campaign strategy by the dems. why? >> >> well, the democrats are now trying to rewrite the results of the 2016 presidential election. that has failed, obviously. and now they are trying to remove president trump from the 2020 ballot. todd: that's it from here. [cheers and applause] >> in jupiter, florida. we have a lot more answers as you might be able to tell. send it on back to new york. steve: i have never seen a crowd like that. holy cow.

steve: well, a california mother is expected to plead guilty today in the college admission scandal. ainsley: karen littlefair is accused of paying someone to take online courses to help her son graduate. molly line is outside the boston courtroom with how much jail time littlefair could be facing. good morning, mollie. >> good morning. the california mom joining more than a dozen other parents embroiled in the college admission scandal which she officially makes her guilty plea this morning before the judge. she is a newport beach california mom. facing one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. prosecutors allege she paid some $9,000 through that phoney charity ran through the rick singer to have someone take four different online courses in place of her son. those fraudulently used

grades used to get credits to graduate from georgetown in 2018. politico first broke this angle of the story that littlefare's son james working as advanced staffer for steve mnuchin until his mom made plea deal and he resigned from the post late last year. so far 14 defendants have been sentenced. one coach and 13 parents face a range of sentences from probation to home confinement to six months in prison. prosecutors are asking for four months in prison for littlefair followed by a year on probation and a fine of $5,900. 19 parents inching closer to trial including the ache tres lori loughlin and her husband. the presiding judge wants to see those trials happen in 2020. and the speculation is on as to whether or not the couple's daughters would be called to testify against their parents and about those allegations that they were told to pose for pictures on rowing machines by their mom and dad to help fake the athletic profiles

that prosecutors say helped them gain admission to ufs. back to you. steve: we will see what happens. molly line live in boston. ainsley: pete, over to you. pete: landmark legislation for faith. whether publicly funded school vouchers can be used to pay for private religious schools based on the choice of parents. the founder and ceo of the center of education reform gianno allen joins us. you called this the most important legislation in 60 years, why? >> this is is a path path breaking. this is obscure amendment that is in 37 state constitutions enacted in the 1800s essentially bars or deters parents from directing the constitutional right they have to control their child's education. and so this case has wound its way through courts in

montana because a parent, kendra espinosa wanted to do something by the way very different than those parents that you talked about in california are doing for their kids. she actually is a low income parent who wanted to choose a school for her kids, her daughters. and she is barred by doing that and discriminated against because of this 18th century amendment that was born of bigotry. pete: you are talking about the blain amendment which effectively to block people from using catholic schools. today, reformers who want to give parents choice say let the follow the kid to his school if it's a private school or a religious school and that's the challenge here is give them open, complete choice. >> well, that's right. and whether it's open or complete choice is really about a parent deciding how best to educate their child. we not only know that should be a constitutional protected right. this is invalidated by the supreme court time and time again. but it also leads to better education and so the state's interests are not more

important than a parent's interest. that's what this case is all about. and 37 states who have been hiding behind this screen of discrimination created by blame since the 1800s by the way the teacher's union supports a republic can named james blain from the 1800s who wanted to protect protestant america from those awful catholics coming to america. this is path breaking to be turned over. a big win for parents. pete: it's freedom of religion and opportunity to gave to your kids if you like. jeanne. thank you very much. the president about to return to the u.s. after big days in davos. we will bring you the highlights, next. wednesdays. at outback, they're for steak and beer.

president. he said, oh, by the way, i'm going to have a press conference. [laughter] the president did talk about the accomplishments he's made here in davos despite the fact that impeachment is really consuming the news in the united states. he had a lot of bilateral meetings with world leaders, said that investment in the united states is on the uptick as a result of him coming here, and he also really wanted to draw a contrast between the fact that he was here overseas doing the business of the nation. he did talk a lot about impeachment. a number of us asked him a question. one of the things i asked him was that dust-up between jerrold nadler and the white house counsel, pat cipollone, after nadler basically accused republicans in the senate of wanting to participate in a cover-up, and p cipollone said nadler should be embarrassed by those comments. chief justice john roberts jumped in and admonished both of

them. i asked him about that. >> jerrold nadler, he's a sleaze bag. everybody knows that. pat cipollone is a high quality human being. he had great emotion yesterday. pat's a brilliant guy, but i've never seen that emotion, and that's real emotion. that's because he knows this is a hoax. >> reporter: so the confrontation between nadler and cipollone was over the motion that chuck schumer had introduced for john bolton to be subpoenaed to be a witness. i asked the president if he would ever like to see bolton testify in the senate trial. here's what he said. >> i would rather go the long way. i would rather interview are bolton, i would rather interview a lot of people. the problem with john is that it's a national security problem. he knows some of my thoughts, he knows what i think about leaders, what happens if he reveals what i think about a certain leader and it's not very positive and that i have to deal on behalf of the cunninger it's going to be very hard -- behalf

of the country, it's going to be very hard. >> reporter: whether or not there will be witnesses at all in the senate trial is still an open question. after the opening arguments from the house managers and the response of the prime minister's attorneys, that -- the president's attorneys, that's when they could entertain the idea of witnesses. the prime minister was asked -- the president was asked would he like to see witnesses. >> do you want to see witnesses in the senate trial? >> the senate's going to have to answer that. i have great respect for the senate as a body and many of the individuals. >> reporter: a couple of other little pieces of business. my wife, who was at the press conference -- she was the beautiful woman seated next to me -- asked the president if he would like to show up for the trial. he said he would love to, but he didn't think his attorneys would like it too much. he was asked about ken starr who he once called a disaster, said he thinks he's a smart guy, he just didn't think bill clinton should be impeached. asked about rudy giuliani, he

said he would like to have him as a member of his legal team, however, he thought there might be a conk flick there. and when -- conflict there. and when asked about lev parnas, he said he was a p con man. steve: and he saidly nadler was a -- jerry nadler was a slum bag. john roberts is not only an amazing reporter, he is a brilliant husband. [laughter] anytime you can work your wife's quote boo a live quote, josh, well done, johnny. ainsley: and what do you think about your roommate -- go ahead, sorry. >> reporter: i was just going to say i don't know if you saw it, but i was about to ask the president a follow-up when he called on my wife. she says, no, no, no, he called on me, he called op me! ainsley: she did? pete: there you go. >> reporter: what am i gonna do? [laughter] ainsley: great that you both can be this together. and, john, your name's been in the news a lot. either we're talking about you

or the chief justice. >> reporter: yeah. i know. do a google search. all right. ainsley: thanks, john. pete: of course, the president in davos, one of the things he said in his press conference is we have an economic powerhouse like we've never had before. that's the message he wants to emphasize and has been emphasizing for two days whether or not the media in this country is willing to cover it. steve: i don't really think so. if you watched some of it yesterday, it was hard to follow. it looked exactly like a lot of the debate we saw in the house. ainsley: same people. steve: different background. you've got that marble and granite behind the speakers. i turned to the new york post this morning to see what how their op-ed page would cover it. the headline is on to the second day of trump's impeachment trial. and the entire story reads simply, is this thing still

going on? ainsley: that's all that they wrote. pete: that's the op-ed? aibs aibs i know, my gosh. it went on for how many hours yesterday. like, 12 hours. if you didn't have a chance to watch it all, then the republicans basically approved the new trial rules, and the democrats tried time and time again pushing for witnesses. republicans at this point are saying not in this space. pete: yeah. you want to call it a circus except circuses are actually entertaining. so instead it's the -- steve: one-ringer. pete: yeah. it's a one-ringer circus where you know what the outcome is going to be. i almost dare you to try to watch it for 20 minutes continuously. steve: great coverage on fox, by the way. pete: the insight and the high points that you want to get so you follow the substance, but you feel like you're watching what you've been watching for the last two, three, four months, and this is after they tried mueller, and that didn't work.

steve: they're all being produced by the democrats to present this narrative -- pete: that's true. steve: you've got to get rid of it -- pete: most television shows are produced by democrats. steve: what was very interesting is despite what we have heard for the last three years, there was one senator yesterday on television from the great state of hawaii who said she watched it, and she doesn't get how these republicans and the president's people, they're talking about we were out to get him since day one. that's what she said. listen to this. >> we got from the president's people really what i found they're still saying that we were out to get the president from day one. kind of a weird conspiracy theory that i have to say even kavanaugh brought up. they really believe this stuff. i find that incredible. steve: finds that incredible. democrats were not going after

this president since day one. except let's take you back to day one. >> i will fight every day until he is impeached! impeach 45! >> donald john trump, by causing such harm to society, is unfit to be president, warrants impeachment, trial and removal from office. >> he should resign, but if he doesn't resign, he should be impeached. >> what is the best thing for the country? it may be that we undertake an impeachment nonetheless. >> donald trump is either going to be impeached by the congress or at the ballot box. >> if proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes. obstruction of justice --? >> we're going to go in there, we're going to [bleep] [cheers and applause] >> it's not a conspiracy, it is factual. ainsley: this is that line from politico. this was april 18, 2016, before the president was even the

republican nominee. the headlines says: could trump be impeached shortly after he takes office? pete: all of those clips were before the supposed phone call that was so bad with ukraine, over -- all of it was before. steve: that's when it was the russians. pete: and many of them are even after the mueller report which found nothing against this president. that was their -- steve: right. pete: we forget. that's like a talking point now, the democrats have already put us through two years of breathless speculation about what bob mueller would find. he found nothing. they latched on to the closest shiny object they could, and now the most recent is a cover-up. you heard it all day yesterday, this is a cover-up. steve: and people are going to hear it all again today. democrats are trying to shame the republicans -- ainsley: i wonder if they were told to say cover-up. steve: it's a buzzword. anyway, they played mazie hirono saying it's a conspiracy, we haven't been after him since day

one. then you saw that montage of people being against him from about day one. and the president actually touched on this about an hour ago in davos, switzerland. listen to this. >> our country's been tied up with this hoax from the day i came down the escalator. we've been fighting it, identify been fighting -- i've been fighting it from the day i've been elected. i would say probably long before, could be long before i came down the escalator that some people have said that, which is hard to believe. wait, wait, john. it's hard to believe. we've been fighting this. i would rather have, personally, i'd rather go the long route. it's horrible for our country. our country has to get back to business. ainsley: yeah. people are tired of it. people want -- they elected these officials to go to washington to get things done for their families, for their communities. instead this is all just impeach, impeach, impeachment russia, racism, collusion, corruption. steve: but there were a number

of democrats who were elected to the house in 2018 to do just this, to impeach the president of the united states, because they had two years. they said you really going to let this guy get away with this? and so there were a number of people who are in congress to do this -- ainsley: maxine waters said this is not the end. if he doesn't get impeached here, they'll do it again. pete: at least they're actually keeping a campaign promise. [laughter] i guess the one upside. but the one argument the prime minister's legal team -- the president's legal team made yesterday which really does resonate with people, they're not trying to undo one election, they're trying to undo two. this is about laying the predicate for 2020. because if you looked at the can candidates they're running on the democrat side and what they're running on, nobody wants what they're selling. and as a result, they're trying to detract. ainsley: there are some that say now that they're hearing, some senators are saying, you know what? republicans said we'll give you john bolton in exchange for hunter biden.

steve: right. pete: it's not fantasy football. aibs aibs they want to impeach because they want to top them from winning again. steve: we had brad on with us about an hour ago, and he said this impeachment thing has riled people up. he calls the number of people donating money through the roof because they feel like it should not be the congress' job to take away their vote from 2016. pete: absolutely. well, we've got that, we've got much else and a few additional headlines. gillian, good morning. >> good morning, let's get right to this. trump says the u.s. has the new coronavirus, quote, totally under control as the world health organization holds an emergency meeting. a washington state man is the first reported case of the virus in the u.s. he's hospitalized in good condition. health officials believe he was sickened while visiting china where the outbreak started. dr. marc siegel joined us

earlier to explain why it's spreading so quickly. >> these viruses change all the time, they mutate, and then they come into a form that's much easier to spread. now, we don't have the treatment for this, we don't have a vaccine. >> nine people have died in china. new documents could spell new trouble for adam schiff. the house intel chairman appeared to mischaracterize text messages between rudy giuliani and his associate, lev parnas. it talked about a meeting with, quote, mr. z, well, schiff claims that it's ukraine's president zelensky, but it may actually be the founder of burisma. schiff's office hasn't commented on that report. moments ago president trump confirming he will expanding the controversial travel ban. >> our country has to be safe. you see what's going on in the world. our country has to be safe. so we have a are strong the travel ban, and we'll be adding a few countries to it. >> white house officials tell politico restrictions will be

placed on these seven countries you see on your screen right now. people may not be banned outright, but they could be barred from the visa lottery program. well, a blocked shot triggers an all-out brawl at the end of the kansas/kansas state game. check this out. >> that's not good. >> this is bad. >> the benches clearing as players threw punches at the end of last night's 60-81 blowout. police officers were called in to break up the fight. no word yet on any punishment. send it back to you. steve: i'm a little embarrassed. pete: i was trying to watch the impeachment stuff, i couldn't take it, so i turned it to espn. it was almost wall to wall coverage. one guy picked up a stool, ended up setting it down. ainsley: better not do that. pete: yeah. and kansas had blown out kansas state. so clearly, there were some words exchanged. steve: we'll keep you posted on that. in the meantime, back to the other fight.

we're just hours away from the start of day two in the impeachment trial. we're going to talk to senator john kennedy, always a great interview. he's next. ♪ she initiated tests and found out what was wrong. she's treated both my children since they were born. bridgette: i feel that my np cares about me as a person and not just if i'm sick or not. molly: and i really love my nurse practitioner because we have such a strong connection. i know that whenever i call, she'll be there for me. my name is molly and we choose nps. np: consider an np. when patients choose, patients win. wean air force veteran made of doing what's right,. not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started.

everybody knew they wouldn't pass. the purpose was to try to delay the trial. if we had granted senator schumer's motions, i figure it would have delayed the trial at least until march, maybe april. and we defeated 'em. now today we'll start hearing the prosecution's case. look, this is -- i know it looks complicated, but this is really very simple. from a larger perspective, here's what's going on. large portions of the political establishment here in washington, d.c. think the american people are morons.

and they're not qualified to pick their own president. and that's why they want to replace president trump. more specifically, this case is about two issues. why did the president ask for an investigation -- steve: right. >> -- was he investigating a political rival or was he investigating corruption. and number two, what did hunter biden do for the money? now, you answer those two questions, and we'll be ready to vote. pete: senator, the rest of us get the convenience of turning the channel or doing something else throughout the day. you are at your desk, you can't talk, you can't use your phone, you have to drink water or milk, those are your choices only. take us inside the chamber as it drags on, as you hear the same people making the psalm arguments. what's going through the minds of senators? >> well, some senators are listening, some senators are reading the briefs. i didn't see any senator who was

not focused directly or indirectly on the proceedings. we may have some more motions today. i understand that senator schumer is going to try to disqualify the president's counsel, pat cipollone -- steve: why? >> he says that he is a fact witness and has a conflict. look, if i were in senator schumer's shoes, i'd probably want to disqualify cipollone too, because he's a damn good lawyer, and he did a great job last night. but at this juncture, senator schumer, he's kind of like a teenager. he hates, he hates everybody and everything related to the president. steve: and like a teenager, he got to stay up late last night. [laughter] >> that's true. steve: senator, what do you make of adam schiff and jerry nadler yesterday essentially saying unless those evil republicans, like you, allow us to call witnesses, then you're involved in the cover-up! you are obstructing justice, and

you are complicit with the president of the united states! what's your answer to the democrats who said that a million times yesterday, and they're going to say it a million times today? >> well, it was primarily chairman nadler, and i thought it was over the top and inappropriate. he called white house counsel liars, liars, liars -- steve: right. >> -- and then he spoke to those of us who happen to be republicans in the senate and said if you don't vote the way that he, chairman nadler, wants us to, then we're all involved in a cover-up. steve: right. >> and he was called down by the chief justice. i thought chairman nadler demonstrated a little more zeal than wisdom. but, you know, it was all for naught. we -- their actions were voted down, and today we're going to start hearing the prosecution's

case. both sides are being treated fairly. same amount of time for prosecution as for defense, then the senate's going to ask questions, and then we'll be able to make a rational decision about whether we need more witnesses. i believe if the prosecution gets more witnesses, president trump is entitled to the same number of witnesses. i want to treat both sides fairly. pete: absolutely. senator and juror john kennedy joining us this morning. thank you very much, appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. pete: are you a water or milk guy? >> i'm a water guy. steve: okay. [laughter] i don't know about milk. pete: it gets warm and not good. steve: anyway, good luck to them. you'll see special coverage starting today, 12:30 right here on the fox news channel. best coverage in the business. pete: he was hailed a hero for stopping a shooter inside a texas church just after christmas,.

he sat to his right and behind him slightly. then i went back into the auditorium and stood about 5 or 6 feet to the right of richard and wassing on observing the individual. during communion the individual got up, went to the end of the i pew to, you know, take the bread and went back and sat down. then right before, you know, the prayer for the cup, he got up and went and said something to tony wallace briefly. went back and partially sat down. at that point he stood back up, and he, you know, that's when he produced a hot gun, turned. -- a shotgun. richard and i were both drawing our weapons at the same time. he turned immediately shot richard and then shot tony at point-blank range. and then started down towards the front of the auditorium, and i had people in front of me due to commotion and had to wait until i had just a split second to take the shot and drop him.

and as i previously stated, from the time he turned with the shotgun until he was down and it was over was a total of six seconds. ainsley: wow. >> now that we know he came in with the intent of causing evil because of what he had, you know, the slugs and the buck shot that he had in the gun. ainsley: so, jack, did you say that he took communion? this guy took communion? >> yes. ainsley: wow. >> communion, you know, and -- ainsley: go ahead, sorry. >> and we'd had the offering for, you know, the bread and was fixing to have the prayer, you know, for the communion cup. that's when he turned and started, you know, his, the shooting. steve: right. and, you know, after he murdered those people then in the church, you were able to neutralize him within six seconds.

there's been a lot of reaction to the fact that how many more lives would have been lost had there not been a good guy with a gun inside that church. the day after that happened michael bloomberg, who is running for president of the united states, was asked about you in alabama. and, jack, listen to what he says, and then i want to get your reaction. >> yes, it may be true -- i wasn't there and i don't know the facts -- that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people. but it's the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. you just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place. steve: jack, what is, what would you like to say to michael bloomberg about what happened in that church and why you had a gun? >> well, the, you know, when i was asked to set up the security

detail for the church, we were aware all of us are volunteer. i'm the only one that has any prior law enforcement background. we set up the detail, we did practice, and mr. bloomberg, had we operated by his standards or his wishes, the carnage would have been significantly greater because the individual still had, after the shooting, still had seven live rounds in his gun and three more in his pocket. even though the police department did arrive in roughly two minutes from the time the first call went in, by that time, you know, the carnage would have been much, much worse. ainsley: i can't believe that that -- >> and if he thinks that -- ainsley: mike bloomberg is saying that you just don't want an average guy to have a gun, but i guarantee everyone in your church is glad that you did have your gun, right? steve: and others. >> yes.

yes. and, you know, i don't consider myself an average guy. you know, the team and i practice, we train, and it's not something that we're just walking around with a gun on our hip. we do practice, you know, for different scenarios. pete: that's right, jack. you're trained, you understand how to use a firearm responsibly. you're a legal gunner. what does someone like michael bloomberg not understand about the reality that millions of americans are quite capable of using a firearm? what is the mindset of an elitist like that, that doesn't understand being armed yourself? >> you know, it comes down to, you know, preparing, you know, thinking, you know, you prepare for the worst and hope for the best. and, you know, if you don't do that, then you, you know, will end up, you know, possibly, you know, not surviving. pete: but, i mean -- >> go back in history --

pete: michael bloomberg has a security detail. he doesn't have to carry a weapon. the average person does not. >> yes. pete: do they just think you don't deserve the ability to defend yourself? what do these liberals think when they say, no, you shouldn't have a second amendment right. >> well, they are trying to take away all of our rights to own firearms, and if they -- you know, they're chipping away at that all the time. if mr. bloomberg would have his security detail turn their arms in and not guard him, he would be in the same situation as many american citizens are every day. steve: jack, before you go is the congregation still in shock? >> yes. there's, some of the people are handling the situation better than others, although there's some that are having an extremely difficult time, which it is extremely difficult. understand that there was in excess of 240 people in that auditorium that witnessed the entire situation.

and, you know, so they are, you know, some of them are definitely, you know, having a little harder time dealing with that. our prayers are with richard and tony's families, you know, the members of the congregation that had to witness that also. steve: all right. ainsley: well, our prayers are with them too. pete: jack wilson, you're a hero, and we're grateful to have you on this program. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. i appreciate your time. ainsley: god bless you, jack. thank you. all right. gillian has more headlines. >> that's right. a construction worker charged with murder after a political argument turns deadly in florida. mason trevor tony shot his foreman after a heated discussion about politics. knight was a trump supporter. both men worked on a road construction project. after the attack, authorities say tony placed an american flag next to knight's body. eight masked gunmen caught

iguanas, put them in the car, and then they woke up because it was warm, and they were really mad, and he got into an accident. so this can be a dangerous thing. no iguanas were harmed in the making of the video. let's take a look at the maps, and i'll show you how cold it is across portions of the country. i don't even have a reading in new york city, but it feels like 29 in tampa. holy moly. there's a storm system across the central u.s. bringing sleet, freezing rain and snow, and that's going to travel across the ohio, mississippi river valley, eventually here in the northeast. along the coast it's going to be too warm for snow, so i don't think martha stewart is going to get any more action on her snow blower. what is it called? snowe blower? steve: a plow. ainsley: i want to know the price tag on those things. steve: she gets rid of the snow, but i wonder if she would go out and move the iguanas if they fell out of her tree? janice: don't put iguanas into her car.

defeating 31 amendments -- 11 amendments by minority leader chuck schumer, but things got so nasty, the chief justice, john roberts, admonished them. listen. >> i think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the house managers and the president's counsel and those addressing the nat should remember -- the senate should remember where they are. >> reporter: get your popcorn ready, starts all over again at 1:00 today. we will get opening arguments, and that'll take us, perhaps, through the rest of the week, guys. we have to wait and see whether witnesses, by the way, will be called. that door hasn't been closed entirely. steve: buckle up. ainsley: where is tv's todd piro? steve: he's down in jupiter, florida, with a standing room only crowd at the diner. ainsley: how do we know you? because you're on tv. >> reporter: and i'm watching out for iguanas.
