♪ [national anthem] ♪ ♪ ♪ so much to say ♪ so much to say pete: you might know the man by his tune. look who is here griff jenkins, lisa booth. this is your pick. griff: i will admit it. dave matthews is my band. the house managers have had a whole lot to say. lisa: for those at home who don't know we get to play dj and pick our own songs. you will be hearing that throughout the next four hours. pete: so much has been said. consider this edition,

saturday edition your edition detox. republicans get their rebuttal today t today from the president's lawyers. griff told me some things before the show things he has seen behind the scenes. griff: far from over. pete: over but far from over. i guess that's how i see it. four great hours on the program. stay with us. just a few hours after us presidenpresidentpresident trumt the mic. lisa: now it goes to the defense. griff: mike emanuel with what is on tore today. >> how it's president trump's legal team's turn. they have been waiting for this opportunity for months. >> but you know what it comes down, to i just

listened to manager jeffries at the end there. really trying to remove the president from the ballot in 2020. we are, what, 10 and a half months out from an election. and they don't trust the american people to make a decision. >> last night house democrats wrapped up three days of arguments in favor of impeachment. >> from all over the world, they look to us. increasingly they don't recognize what they see. they look to us because we have a roughly law they to us because no one is above la law. so i ask you, i implore you, give america a fair trial. >> but once again house judiciary chair jerry nadler raised some eyebrows with his language. >> this is a determination by president trump that he wants to be all-powerful. he does not have to respect the congress. he does not have to respect

the representatives of the people, only his will goes. he is a dictator. >> the initial issue this week with nadler is when he said that republican senators not in favor of more documents and witnesses would be engaged in a cover-up. that clearly irritated some senators really on both sides of the aisle. meanwhile, we expect the president's attorneys to convict things off about 10 locke a.m. eastern time for about a three hour session today. back to you in new york. >> thanks, mike. pete: you wonder whether the democrats are regretting to bring jerry nadler on the team. he has been insulting the very republican senators he would need to win over, especially with that comment. also, had you adam schiff saying that the rumor is he heard in anonymous news sources that republicans have been told their head is on a pike if they vote for witnesses or against the president. and audible gaffes, even from murkowski and collins and others saying that's not true. if you offended the people you are trying to convince,

that's tragic. griff: job the house managers to sway the opinions of at least 20 g.o.p. senators to remove the president from office or even to call witnesses. the headline today in the "new york times," right there, key g.o.p. senators display few hints of being swayed. that is an unbelievable headline in the "new york times" to admit that the job of the house managers convincing these key moderate republicans to say their within is not being met. you are not seeing it in the hallways when they go to the mics. they are not indicating that they may be. pete: not even hearing rumors. lisa: they're not trying to. that's not the intent here. the intent is not to get to 67 votes in the senate for a conviction. the intent is not to try to persuade the moderates. otherwise we would hear different rhetoric from people like jerry nadler and adam schiff. what happens when did you go into someone's house and criticize. of course you are going to offend and not go over well. the entire thing is not

about ukraine. 95 democrats on the house on july 17th voting to pave the way for impeachment green resolution. you had maxine waters in may of 2017 calling for the president's impeachment all before that july 25th phone call with president zelensky. it's not about ukraine. it's not about convincing the moderates. this is just about damaging the president. pete: that's a lot of what you will hear from the president's lawyers. they say today will be a trailer a preview. not as many eyeballs on the senate floor. bulk of the argument will come on monday which will be interesting to see how they take that on. we don't need another subcommittee foreign affairs hearing on ukraine politics. they will make the argument this has always been about getting the president. we will bring that to you. griff: 8 hours, three days. they are saying we don't need that much time because it's gone on and on. the president was weighing in yesterday saying this long, drawn out, as he calls it, witch huntington is not having a positive impact on

the american people. we will see what he has to say. >> the republicans are doing a fantastic job respect and in some cases love the republican senators. they're fantastic. and i think the whole thing will be over with fairly quickly. they have no case. it's a hoax. schiff is a corrupt politician. he lies, he cheats, he steals. he's a corrupt politician. he made up my statement and my phone call. that's why i released the transcript. i released the transcript that's perfect. the fact is that it's a horrible partisan witch huntington and it's been going on for three years. lisa: she looks familiar is that rachel duffy. pete: she had a chance to be back stage after the march for life. you will see exclusively on "fox & friends" this morning. all morning we will play more of that interview. congratulations to rachel. she did a fantastic job. you will see more of it. again, in washington, you

had what was going on in the senate chamber and then you had the march for life, which the president was the first president ever to address that march. griff: 47 years it's been going on and he was the fest to do it. we gave it ample coverage here at fox news. here is a little bit of the president talking there. listen. >> we are here for a very simple reason, to defend the right of every child born and unborn, to fulfill their god-given potential. [cheers and applause] together, we must protect, cherish and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life. [cheers and applause] they are coming after me because i am fighting for you, and we are fighting for those who have no voice. and we will win because we know how to win. [cheers and applause] lisa: something so important

about what president trump said. you have got to look at the u.s. supreme court decision roe vs. wade majority opinion justice harry blackman and this is what he says if this suggestion of personhood is established, roe's case collapses. the fetus' right to life would be guaranteed by the 14th amendment. when you hear people on the left and the media not want to talk about the fact that life begins at conception. that's why. they don't want that personhood to be established because then it would deny them the ability to have an abortion. pete: absolutely. that's a big argument the president has put in place two justices who changed the trajectory of the supreme court with cases coming before that court soon. you would think, this is a huge constitutional moment. this is significant. the president of the united states going behind this movement for life in our country. well, if you turn on the evening news, in this country, guess how much they actually covered it. abc, nbc, cbs, abc gave it 15 seconds. that's not enough time to play a clip from the

president speaking. nbc and cbs ignore it completely. you talk about the media in this country. it's not just what they say. it's what they don't say. wasn't just at night, griff. griff: we obviously aired a good bit of it. if you look at our competitors, cbs, nbc goose eggs. pete: are they your competitors if they never win. griff: they are news organizations. president dlg. you would cover in some form. anchor reader and roll some of the video. not even that. lisa: do you guys remember i think it was maybe one of their first interviews when president trump took office he interviewed with david muir on abc news and he was asked about the woman's march and the president turned it around on him. you know march for life is coming up. you won't cover it. his face dropped. they are not used to having someone call them out. go back and watch it. i found that fascinating.

griff: reagan said you dance with the one that brung you. for the people that wondered whether this would be a pro-life president. conservatives voted him in office, i think this, in some ways, may help him the fact that it was ignored but, yet, he was there with them come november this year. pete: great point. i was in the office when the rally started. looked at all the other stations and thought of course they are not covering it. all right, we have additional headlines this morning as well. and, later, we will get -- five u.s. service members rescued after a helicopter reportedly makes an emergency landing in waters near oak that with a island in japan. local media reporting mh 60 helicopter. unclear what forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing. when we get more info, we will bring it to you. pete: deadly coronavirus now spreading confirming a second cases right here in the united states. doctors diagnosing a chicago woman after she recently traveled to china where the virus started.

63 patients are now being tested for possible symptoms across 22 states. the virus now claiming at least 41 lives and infecting more than 1200 people in china. chinese officials are scrambling to contain the deadly infection by shutting down all public transportation. and president trump revealing the new space force logo. the blue and white symbol representing our country's newest military branch. the president says he worked with military leaders on the design. some people say it looks very similar to the star fleet command logo on "star trek." i think you might say that. lisa: what say you? pete: i think they are right. expects some royalties for the design. >> maybe they should deserve some credit. it's tha takei. sorry i pronounced it incorrectly.

under president trump william mcginley. bill, good morning to you. take us inside the president's defense team. what do we expect today? >> good morning, griff. thank you for having me. i think a couple of things that we need to note at the outset. first, is the democrats have gotten for their presentations of their evidence. what we need to do is separate style from content. the president's team is going to come out and go directly to the merits of the case. the president did nothing wrong and expect them to go to the heart of that issue and demonstrate that the second issue is they are going to point out the evidentiary and procedural flaws of the house process but also the gaps in the facts and presentations made by adam schiff, jerry nadler and the other house managers. their presentations, while slick, were riddled with factual errors, misstated the law. and their constitutional theories were wrong. and i would expect the president's attorneys to come out and give a forceful defense of the president but also point out all of the flaws in their arguments. griff: bill, you see in the "new york times," a headline

i was holding up there saying the key g.o.p. senators display few hints of being swayed. see witnesses? >> the arguments they were laying out weren't designed to convict and remove the president. instead what they were designed to do inflict political damage in anticipation of november there were two audiences they were trying to play. to say one was the senators sitting in the well of the senate, and it's clear, based upon the reporting, their arguments were actually counter productive. they offended senators that they needed to switch over to try to get witnesses. they failed to convince anybody of the merits of their case. instead what they are doing is produce a series of 30 second political points that could be made by the democratic ad makers in november. this is a flawed strategy. i think it's why you see that the gallery, the reporting says the gallery is half full. the reporting says that the senators that they are trying to sway to either come over to get witnesses

or otherwise are actually hardening in the republican camp because they keep going in and offending the people that they need to actually vote with them. and the other thing is the american people are tuning this out. we all know that the president is going to be acquitted and exonerated at the end of this trial. this is an outcome-determinative issue. instead, they are usersing it as a political sword against the president. griff: we shall see. bill, let me take to you one other topic that is the justice department ended the surveillance of former trump campaign advisor carter page sooner. the judge in that ruling, saying that if not earlier, there was insufficient, predication to establish probable cause to believe that page was acting as an agent of a foreign power. what say you? >> i think this is a very significant story. i think but for the impeachment trial, this would be something that would be leading the headlines across the nation. remember, the fisa court is something that is operated in secret. because there's no attorney there to represent the other side, the government has a

heightened duty of both candor and accuracy in the information they present to the court to determine whether there's probable cause to conduct the electronic surveillance. it's clear that in this case both the doj and the court have said that the carter page warrants, the two that were thrown out, were fatally flawed and are no longer valid. griff: well, we will see. maybe there is fisa reform on the horizon. i don't know. bill mcginley, thank you for joining us. we will see what happens. it will be a busy day although it's a saturday. >> thank you for having me. griff: joe biden says his administration would punish ice if they deport illegal immigrants caught driving drunk. >> you only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed and i don't count drunk driving as a felony. griff: our next guest lost her police officer son to a drunk driver living in the u.s. illegally. she joins us with that message for the former vice president. that's next.

pete: we have a few headlines for you this morning. the governor of texas sharing a message to thousands of californians fleeing their state for texas. governor greg abbott tweeting in response to a report number of people moving from california is up 36%. he said remember those high taxes burdensome regulations and socialist agenda advanced in california? we don't believe in that we believe in less government and more individual freedom. if you agree with that you'll fit right in. good for texas. and the nypd police commissioner is blaming the recent crime spike on new york's new bail reform laws. >> in the first three weeks of this year, we are seeing significant spikes in crime. if you let out individuals that commit a lot of crime,

that's precision policing in reverse. we are seeing the effects in a very quick time and that is why we are seeing so concerned. pete: makes sense to me. sings the start of the year robberies are up in the city more than 32%. car thefts up 61%. burglaries 18%. compared to last year. bill de blasio wanted to be our president. lisa down to you. lisa: thanks, pete. 2020 hopeful joe biden going after ice saying the agency should not support drunk driving illegal immigrants and threatening agents with punishment if they do. listen. >> you change the culture by saying you are going to get fired. you're fired, if in fact, you do that you only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed and i don't count drunk driving as a felony. lisa: wow, our next guest lost her police officer son brandon mendoza when an illegal immigrant driving drunk hit him head on in 2014.

angel mom and co-founder marion mendoza joins us now. >> good morning. lisa: first of all our hearts break for you. this is deeply personal for you. when you hear something like that from the former vice president, what depose through youwhat -- what goesthr. >> he is suggesting is he going to fire law enforcement officers for upholding our laws. he is suggesting that he is going to continue letting illegal alien criminals drive drunk in our country. it's been -- democrats support illegal alien crime in our country. they provide sanctuary from our laws. they provide them with so many benefits that american citizens don't get. and the list of angel families is growing daily in this country. and quite frankly, we are all sick of being ignored by democrats. and i'm pretty disgusted that our loved ones have become collateral damage in

their illegal criminal first agenda that they have got going on. we are tired of being ignored. we, you know, there are tens of thousands of innocent american victims who have been killed by illegal alien drunk drivers in this country. over 80,000 duis illegal aliens arrested by ice in one year. that doesn't even count the additional 76,000 other traffic violations that they have done. so, they're dangerous drivers. they have a tendency to drive drunk. they don't realize, you know, they don't assimilate to our society and know this isn't what you do. lisa: mary ann, why do you think that is? you mentioned this rhetoric we have seen from joe biden. this embrace from some on the left for illegal immigrants. why is that? >> because they are grasping at straws for a voter base at this point. they have promised these people. they are enticing them with free benefits promising

them. sanctuary from our laws. free healthcare, free higher education. all the things they're promising the illegal aliens flooding our borders, which they don't even provide for their fellow american citizens. so, they are holding them on a higher platform, like i said earlier? they are illegal criminal first agenda. lisa: this migrant deported from the united states. i want you to listen to something that he said and then i want to get your reaction. listen. >> of my idea is to go to tijuana and in tijuana go ahead and try to make a living until trump leaves office. once he leaves office, hopefully everything is going to go back to normal or the situation is going to get better for immigration laws, and we are going to go ahead and try to get up. lisa: how effective have the president's policies been? >> i think they have been successful. very successful. and we cannot allow the

democrats to take control of the administration or have the majority in the house or the senate because it's open borders. everybody come into our country mentality that they have is what is going to continue. and they are, like i said, they are enticing this invasion into our country because they know they are going to be provided sanctuary from our laws. the honduran coffee plantations are begging for them to work. they need over 400,000 workers there right now. these people want to come to our country they know they stick hand out. they arrive in our overburdened detention centers and start complaining about the conditions. they know the democrats will take up the fight for them. won't fight for fellow americans who have become victims of illegal alien crime in their country. lisa: mary ann, thank you very much for being here today and we honor your son brandon mendoza. thank you. >> thank you. lisa: coming up, president trump makes history, become

thbecoming the first president to speak at the march for life. rachel campos-duffy caught up with the president. she will have the interview you will only see on "fox & friends." stay with us. that's next. >> they have a lot of people out there. and it turned out to be very successful. >> unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the white house.

for letting me be out there. because the energy, the love, the joy, the cold, all of it was awesome because this is truly the biggest and longest running human rights march in history and i think that's a little bit why the president wanted to be there. i asked him that in this interview that i got to have with him right after the march so take a look. >> march for life. rachel: tell me why you came to the march today. >> i came to the march because i'm fighting for life. >> we need to stand up for what we believe in. >> i came here to march for all the babies born with down syndrome. >> my daughter, 35 years ago, i was faced with an unplanned pregnancy and i'm proud to be here with her today. how can you look at this baby and say that she shouldn't live? >> we are more than a choice. every single human being is more than a choice.

[cheers and applause] >> what does it mean to you that the president came today? >> i can't even believe. we were a part of history as an immigrant, i feel love, i feel the president came support for life.

>> he has been a pro-life president and then he really showed that even more so today. >> i think it just doubles down on the fact that he is pro-life. that is why i voted for him in 2016. >> the fact that president trump came here sent an incredibly strong message that he has not only been a great president, maybe the most pro-life president ever in policy, but the fact that he is standing here side by side with these tens of thousands of people. rachel: why did you want to be the first sitting president to address the life for march. >> a lot of groups have been under siege in this country. happened before i got here. things changing too rapidly and not good. and so i saw them. they wanted me to make a tape that they play. and i have done it for three years now. and i said, you know, i'm in washington. maybe i will just instead of making a tape i will go over. i didn't know this was going to be in big of a deal. they have a lot of people out there. turned out to be very successful. most successful one by far. rachel: your administration

just announced they are going to challenge california over their abortion requirements and their insurance. why did you make. it's going to make a lot of people angry. planned parenthood is spending $45 million against you. >> we have a group of people that are just amaz amazing. and they have been with us and we have been with them. we want to do what we feel is right. >> unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the white house. [cheers and applause] rachel: great job, rachel that must have been such a cool experience to be there and obviously to interview the president. what stood out to you the most? >> you know, when i asked people in the march. i asked all of them what does it mean to you to have the president be here today? they all said the same thing. they said everything. it meant everything to them. they have been so ignored for so long on that march and here comes the president, really edifying them. i think it has some really important significance politically.

i think the most important thing he says in that speech was he said they are coming after me because i'm fighting for you. obviously a reference to what's happening over in the senate side with the impeachment. and i think that this bodes well for him in 2020 with this group. i think he completely has their love and gratitude and joy and has their vote. when i looked at that crowd, i also realized he recruited that day an army of volunteers because, again, they felt so grateful that he acknowledged them in such a bold move. it's never been done before. pete: the media is try to ignore it second term and more supreme court picks and movement like this change can really be afoot. rachel campos-duffy. thank you for that interview. we have more as well. we know you asked other questions. viewers are eager to see them. thank you so much. lisa: great job, rachel. >> thank you. griff: turning now to headlines, covington catholic high school student

nicholas sandmann returns to washington a year after this confrontation on capitol hill. sandman tweeting picturing of himself at the march writing i will never pass on an opportunity to march for life. president trump talking about sandman right after he addressed the march for life. >> nicholas is a great young man covington high school students. they weren't causing any trouble. and you could see it was building and building and building. i hope he got a good settlement. very unfair. griff: sandman is suing several media outlets for their betrayal. he has settled his lawsuit with cnn. and the person who exposed jeff bezos' affair may have been his girlfriend. "wall street journal" reporting federal prosecutors have evidence showing bezos' girlfriend shared text messages from the billionaire with her brother who then leaked them to the "national enquirer." prosecutors are investigating whether the enquirer used the text messages to blackmail bezos.

and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath

one of his four daughters and the family's attorney saleen atalla. thank you for being here this morning. gail, let me start with you, your father is there in lebanon. he has stage four cancer. our heart goes out to you. he served in the lebanese armies in the 1980s and 1990s fighting against hezbollah the iranian backed terrorist organization. he came to the united states and became a citizen. recently your family went back there just to have a vacation because the government said it was safe to do. so yet, he gets locked up what's happening here? >> my dad was kidnapped. he went for a family vacation. he went to achieve his passport after telling him we just need it for background check and we never saw him again. on top of that, he acquired epstein virus which led to his stage 4 cancer. right now he is battling cancer. he is very sick. is he deteriorating every day.

still held hostage by a country we are giving millions in aid in every year this is outrageous we can't bring him back. pete: being retained by hezbollah which control iran control the country now he used to fight against them when he was fighting alongside israel and other american allies. saleen, when you look at the specifics and the geopolitical part of it, is iran effectively holding him hostage? >> well, what i can tell is you we are dealing with a hostage situation as you know. that's a potential murder of an innocent american citizen. everybody knows who controls lebanon, but, we need to act fast. amer is dying. diplomacy does not work. we understand shah neon

understands that and addressing sanctions. we call on our president, because we trust that our president will never sit back and watch an innocent american citizen being tortured, held hostage and dying. that's why we call on him to act and to help us bring him home. pete: what rationale is the government giving in lebanon as to why they are holding him? they. >> they are playing us. no rationale. they have their own agenda for holding him. we know this is not the legal case. this is a hostage situation. and amer is dying and we need to get him home. pete: briefly, your father is an american citizen held by hezbollah. what's your message? >> right now my dad's health is deteriorating. there is no cancer medication in lebanon. every day he is there is a

risk for him losing his life. his granddaughter is going to be born in few weeks, and he's not going to be here to witness that right now, we are scared to losing our dad. and my message is to president trump. he advocates for all americans out there. he fights for americans and right now there is a sick american, u.s. citizen who is held hostage and we need him back asap. pete: we have to leave it there his name is amer fakhoury. i>> thank you. pete: super bowl 8 days away. are you ready? getting your game on like a true armchair quarterback. personal tech like an air fryer. kurt the cyberguy hats special offers just for "fox & friends" viewers. he's next ♪ going to be a hel hell of a ride ♪ i got my game on ♪

every time i have been on the couch with you you know every song. pete: i have listened to at love radio. kwb in minnesota they schooled me. griff: maybe should have opened up the impeachment hearings with you singing river of dreams billy joel: in just a few hours president trump's defense team take center stage at the senate impeachment trial. pete: now going to the defense after house impeachment managers the democrats finish their opening arguments late last night. lisa: mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with a look at the defense team's plan. mike, what should we look for? >> lisa, griff, pete, good morning to you. in about three hours president trump's legal team takes center stage out on the senate floor. we expect the president's team will likely argue that democrats are trying to overrule american voters. >> but you know what it really comes down to. i just listened to manager jeffries at the end there.

really trying to remove the president from the ballot in 2020. we are, what, 10.5 months out from an election? and they don't trust the american people to make a decision. >> last night house impeachment managers wrapped three days of making their case for impeachment with judiciary chairman jerry nadler raising some eyebrows with this line. >> this is a determination by president trump that he wants to be all powerful. he doesn't have to be respect the congress. he does not have to respect the representatives of the people only his will goes. he is a dictator. >> i spoke with texas senator ted cruz who has been talking with the president's legal team. >> my advice to them is focus less on the process and focus on the substance. focus on making the case on the merits and laying out the factual reasons for the president's innocence. the president is innocent of these charges. the senate is going to acquit him. is going to find him not guilty. the reason for that, the

house managers haven't met the constitutional standard. >> it's expected today session will go about three hours with much more defense from the president's team on monday. lisa, griff, pete? pete: mike, thank you very much. appreciate it. you were in that very position all week oak co-y position. will rogers statue. pete: you are able to focus and professional. day one you were telling us it's crowded there in that spot. what about as the trial went on? pete. griff: i suspect mike isn't with a lot of people there the first day it was just a hustle and bustle. so much going on. this is an observation as a reporter there not an opinion. the interest has dwindled. yesterday i was the only reporter for several hours with exception of a few guests and few reporter hits coming and going. it's sort of interesting to compare it. i was at a different network during the 1999 bill clinton trial. there was a real palpable sense that the president of

the united states might be removed from office. and that is clearly not there. er vote that's been taken so far has been down party lines. we know how this ends. and that's why you are sighing and another thing we are going to talk about this morning the ne the "new york po" editorial board comparing this to the movie groundhog day. do you remember that famous movie where bill says good morning, campers, rise and shine it's going to be cold out there just like it is every day. pete: you open up the "new york post" editorial at the bottom no. room for editorial. that's the whole editorial right there. that is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 -- 7 words. remember that movie groundhog day is there editorial at the bottom portion. same thing time and time again. same people, adam schiff, jerry nadler and others making the same argument and we call this the defense. it's actually the defense. the defense is going to get their chance today to both rebut what that guy has been saying but also make a proactive argument that the president did nothing wrong

here persuade the argument. the point is just to hurt president trump politically. and the reason i say that is if they were trying to persuade you wouldn't go into their house and offend them. what i mean by that we see people like jerry nadler he has gone and accused republicans of being a part of a cover-up if they don't vote for witness. we have seen adam schiff imply that republicans are afraid of president trump, that their head is going to be put on a pike if they disobey him or go against him. they are not trying to persuade. what they are trying to do is harm the president politically is with s. why you might see democrats deny additional witnesses and most certainly see them vote to acquit. pete: they have accomplished one thing solidifying

republican support. one thing you don't do if you are a broadcaster or speak something speak down to your audience. that's what they have done. griff: spoke with bill mcginley former white house secretary familiar with the white house's defense. one thing they have got to do is point out the manager's flaws. listen. >> the president's team is going to come out and go directly to the merits of the case. the president did nothing wrong and expect them to go right to the heart of that issue and demonstrate that the second issue is they are going to point out the evidentiary and procedural flawing of the house process and the gaps in the facts and presentations made by adam schiff, jerry nadler and other house managers. while slick riddled with errors, constitutional laws and constitutional theories were wrong. i would expect the president's attorneys to come out and give a forceful defense of the president but also point out all of the flaws in their arguments. pete: that defense is going to start today 10:00. cover it here on the fox

news channel. you have been suffering through adam schiff and what he has been saying. stay with us. we will play about 30 seconds of what adam schiff said yesterday. i know you have had enough, i have too. there is a reason we are showing it to you. listen what he said yesterday. >> he has shown neither remorse or acknowledgement of wrongdoing. if you can believe the july 25th was a perfect call, that asking for investigations of your political opponents and using the power of your office to make it so is perfectly fine, then there is nothing that would stop you from doing it again. president trump has abused the power of his office and must be removed from that office. what matters is whether he is a danger to the country because he will do it again and because he is telling us every day that he will. pete: dangerous, griff. griff: strong case there got

afusive praise. pete: sounds partisan. griff: go back and look we had impeachment in 1999. lisa: way back machine. griff: he had something to say when he was a senator. >> people want someone whose top priority is local concerns not national partisan ideological crusade. lisa: a little bit different. you have got the guy out there, right? adam schiff is going out there as a prosecutor trying to nail president trump. he is talking about integrity, talking about these things. this is the guy that lied to you at home about russian collusion. this is a guy who mislead you about fisa abuse who said, look, there is nothing to see here. even though the inspector general came out with 17 errors and omissions all in the direction of hurting president trump. this is a guy who told you that he had no contact with the whistleblower. well, guess what? even "the washington post" said four pinocchios, this

is a guy we also learned just recently mislead about a conversation, a text message exchange that lev parnas had. this is a guy repeatedly dishonest with you. yet, he is being, you know, basically put out there like a hero from so many people in the media and the left. it's ridiculous. pete: such a hero, he is not going to win. thankfully is he done and the president's defense team gets the next three days for all the reasons you outlined. as the senate trial goes on, griff. how many senators are there running for senate in that chamber? three for real. griff: only with milk and water and fidget spinners and pounds of candy. pete: disadvantage. stuck in there can't be campaigning. griff: bernie sanders is neck in neck even though the polls have biden in february. february 3rd is iowa caucuses. sanders is really feeling the disadvantage that he has of being off that trail as

is. lisa: kevin mccarthy says he thinks nancy pelosi intentionally held the articles of impeachment to help joe biden what do you think? pete: i heards theory. who knows. joe biden still has to campaign which is his biggest disadvantage. bernie sanders feels like it's a disadvantage for him, listen. >> it disappointing to me not to be in iowa talking to the people there. i'm accepting my constitutional responsibility. but what i'm saying obviously i'm at a disadvantage. >> do you think it places biden at advantage over you. >> politically in the campaign yes, it does. he is able to go out and talk to people it's important. griff: none better for him than aoc. pete: he called up comrade cortez and says i need a socialist to go to iowa on my behalf. she is popular with folks on the left. here's the problem. she went to iowa to campaign

for bernie sanders and she forgot one thing, his name. listen. >> we need to have medicare for all. i don't want us to measure our economy by the nasdaq and the dow anymore. we have lower life expectancy. worse health outcomes, lower income projections. we need to bailed transcendent interactional movement that is rooted in justice. that is what this campaign is about. griff: as a reporter to be very accurate what we are telling you here and i will head to iowa next week. she never once mentioned bernie sanders many name. lisa: pete, almost like it was about her. pete: do you know what it takes to give a speech for another candidates to never mention their name almost impossible. maybe it is. griff: let us know what you think. now we are turning to your headlines. the warden of the new york

jail where jeffrey epstein died is getting a new job. the associated press reporting the warden is starting a leadership position, believe it or not, at low security prison in new jersey next month. attorney general bill barr reassigned the warden to a job at the bureau of prisons pennsylvania after epstein's death last year. the financier's death is still under investigation. to the pentagon we go. 34 american troops are diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries after the iranian missile attack earlier this month. half of those soldiers are being treated in the u.s. and germany. last week the pentagon said at least 11 service members were being treated. iran launched the missiles after the u.s. killed the country a country's top. no americans were killed in the attacks. and elizabeth warren is defending her student loan plan after this confrontation. >> my daughter is getting out of school. i saved all my money. >> god bless you. >> am i going to get my money back? >> of course not. >> so you are going to pay for people who didn't pay

any money and those of us that did the right thing get screwed? griff: the 2020 hopeful responding to the passionate dad's concern over her proposal to wipe out student loan debt. >> look, we build a future going forward by making it better. by that same logic what would we have done not started social security because we didn't start it last week for you or last month for you? >> warren wants to cancel up to $50,000 for those making less than $100,000 a year and make public college free. those are your headlines. pete: it's become a real problem for her. totally dismissive. he makes a very concerted argument. she has no answer. she is already going down anyway. satisfaction among americans hitting levels we haven't seen in 10 years. why? the booming economy. lisa: that's right. charles payne says get ready for more winning. he's here to talk about the economy next. ♪ ♪ i got the magic.

pike. i have to say, when i read that, and, again, i don't know if that's true. but, when i read that i was struck by the irony. pete: that was adam schiff yesterday. the house managers making their case for impeachment against president. one of the people in that room was senator marsha blackburn republican from tennessee. she joins us now this morning on "fox & friends." senator, thank you so much for being here. >> good to be with you. thank you. pete: here we have schiff again quoting anonymous reports that he can't confirm. let me ask you, were you ever told by republican leadership that your head would be on a pike if you go the wrong way with the president? >> not at all. republican leadership has encouraged us to do exactly what we have been doing. which is to look back at the record from the house and to do our due diligence so that the decisions we make are going to be wise decisions. to make certain that we're true to the constitution, that we are going to render a fair trial to all

involved. and that's exactly what we have been doing. pete: senator, reports are that when adam schiff made that accusation on the floor there were audible gaffes. in fact, senators are not allowed to speak some said that's not true that heads were turning from people like lisa murkowski and susan collins who a lot of folks are looking at how their vote. what was the reaction on the floor? >> the reaction on the floor was exactly as was reported there were several of us that just said that's not true. he should have retracted that as at that point in time. you know, it's the same thing that has caused people to gaffe when we were called liars. when we were accused of participating in a cover-up which was a crime. when we heard the president called a dictator when we heard him called a monarch and when we heard him called a king. we bear in mind that they told us what their entire purpose is re-litigate the 2016 election.

keep him off the ballot in 2020. to make sure that the american people don't have the opportunity to vote for him again. i thought adam schiff's remarks were astounding. on the section day in his opening comments. basically what he said when he was saying do you know we can't trust he won't treat again. we can't trust that the ballot box will be protected in the election. basically he was saying we don't trust you, american people. you messed up. in 2016 and voted for the wrong guy. we are not going to give that you opportunity in 2020. we're going to change the process and control who you can vote for who has the ballot box. who has the election. pete: it doesn't work to talk down to any audience, especially an audience of senators. >> exactly. pete: held captive li in a senate chamber. i have got to get onto the next topic. vindman was a key witness in

the house. his name has been brought up multiple times by the house managers. you have also had a back and forth with this colonel including this tweet thursday from you. you said adam schiff is hailing alexander vindman as a patriot. how patriotic is it to bad mouth and ridicule our great nation in front of russia, america's greatest enemy. his commanding officer has reported for a long time lieutenant colonel vindman political activist in uniform. reported to have leaked the phone calls and worked with the whistleblower. yet, you are being told, you can't criticize someone like him because he wears our nation's uniform. >> and we honor the service of every man and woman who has chosen to serve our country. look at what the house republicans record tells us from the work that they did. we know that lieutenant colonel vindman went outside of his chain of command. he leaked the call to two

individuals outside the white house that had been reported in the record. we also know as you said in 2012, he had disparaged the nation before a group of russian soldiers. and that was reported by his commanding officer and by that commanding officer's supervisor. we know that tim morrison has said he had the unfortunate habit of disregarding the chain of command. so, these are things that are known. it is important that as we look at context for why somebody says something, when they say it, that we bring this to account. pete: the attorney for vindman had this to say a member of the senate allude talking at a moment when the senate is undertaking solemn responsibility choose to take to twitter to slam a member of our military is a test to cowardice.

lieutenant considerable vindman will continue to do what he has always done. serve our country dutifully with harsh. i have served with people that served with him. they said he has a left wing partisan perspective. we serve we are allowe allow our view that doesn't make him untouchable. >> my responsibility is to protect the constitution, to make certain that we render a fair trial. i'm going to continue to do that. and to make certain that the service that i render to the nation is there to protect freedom free people and preserve freedom for another generation. pete: absolutely. >> that's my job. pete: uniform is to be protected but it's not a shield. it doesn't mean you are immune from doing wrong things or being exposed. >> that's right. pete: marsha blackburn, thank you for your time and courage this morning. >> good to be with you. pete: lisa, over to you. lisa: gun control measures in the virginia house days

and have principled view of the constitution. now this opinion is saying well, actually judges can't be members of the federalist society despite the fact they long have been. they have tried to maintain balance by saying you can't join the american constitution society, kind of a liberal organization. but they create this huge carveout for the american bar association which, while it claims to be neutral, is actually incredibly liberal. and that own opinion even acknowledges they take positions on so many issues and they are all progressive liberal outcomes that they're looking for. griff: got an important point there you are saying that the federalist society does not advocate on specific legislation, correct? >> yeah. they don't advocate for legislation. they don't file amicus briefs. they are very careful not to hold positions on specific controversial issues. it's so funny because the american bar association does all of those things. they actually have a lobbying shop. they have -- griff: let us show our audience here. we put bullet points to explain. this the american bar association supports legislation on the federal

and state level to finance abortion services for indigent women. support several measures to effectuate strong federal gun control. urges congress to enact legislation to remove marijuana from schedule 16 the controlled substance act. so, ultimately, this draft opinion, you say, is unfair. >> absolutely. if you are going to say that a group that takes none of these type of positions like the federalist society is off limits for federal judges, it's impossible to the not to bring the aba into that. lobbies for legislation, files regular amicus brief has 129 pages of their policy agenda all of which is very left wing as well as sweeping in a lot of other organizations that judges have traditionally been involved. in you know, religious organizations. or veterans groups. lots of civic organizations. we want our judges to be able to be involved and continue to do. this is really unfortunate development. and it's not a logical opinion to have one size

censured. it's not lost politics. griff: carrie, why is this happening? why are they circulating this? why not? >now?>> senator whitehouse and others on the left angry at the federalist society. they see the success with which this group has promoted originalism and constitutional view of government. that's actually not something that's right or left. that's saying we read the law and the constitution as they are written. it's a threat to the liberal dominance of the court which used to just kind of say well, we do what the liberal outcome is regardless of the law and we'll just make up the law as we go. that's something the federalist society has stood against. it threatens the liberal control of the courts. i think that's why they're trying to attack it. griff: a draft opinion. we will see where the story goes. carry severino, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks. griff: this rocking baby is taking the internet by storm. up next, meet the dad behind this viral ac/dc cover

because we have roughly law. they look to us because no one is above that law. so i ask you, i implore you, give america a fair trial. >> after issue tailgating a number of senators earlier in the week by suggesting they could be engaging in a cover-up. house judiciary chairman jerry nadler raised some eyebrows once again. >> this is a determination by president trump that he wants to be all powerful. he does not have to respect the congress. he does not have to respect the representatives of the people. only his will goes. he is a dictator. >> some key republicans say they were puzzled by some of the closing arguments made by democrats. >> one of the most remarkable moments of the entire day was when adam schiff ended the night by saying republicans had been told their head will be on a pike by the president if they vote against him. that is completely totally

false. and all of us are shaking their heads like where in the world did that story come from? >> about two hours from hearing from president trump's legal team for an abbreviated session today a more full defense will be offered on monday. pete, griff, lisa? griff: all right, mike, thanks. pete: reaction from the reports significant when those statements were made. but, griff, you have said last hour that the energy on capitol hill just isn't the same as the clinton impeachment because everyone knows how this one is going to end. griff: exactly, it's a forgone conclusion that the president will be acquitted. the only thing really waiting to find out is whether or not we could see witnesses. only take four republicans to vote to decide whether or not we will see witnesses. but that's not going to come now for several days because you have at least today, two more days for the white house defense and then you are going to have 16 hours, how many ever days that takes for written questions from the 100 senators. then you get to this four-hour period of debate where this witness may come back up. lisa: can you see some of

these moderate senators vote against witnesses. because, look, have you got people like susan collins who very much respect institutions. they very much respect those traditions. we saw that in her vote to confirm brett kavanaugh. she cares about due process. i think she can look at this and say. pete: she cares about her re-election, too. these are squish senators? squish states they talk about process and principle and the constitution everybody does. they are in swing states so they want to placate one side and be careful. same script murkowski and collins all the time. lisa: she is look at this and say it's entirely political. pete: yeah, correct. lisa: 95 democrats on july 17th voted to pave the way for impeachment? pete: 49 republicans already been. lisa: calling for the impeachment before the call took place. pete: murkowski and collins can see that too. i don't buy it. come down and call it what it is. i would argue their case

something made easier to your point because of schiff and nadler and representative mark meadows who is on the president's defense team had this to say about that. >> adam schiff talked about the president being a russian asset again. we had jerry nadler talking about him being a dictator. and this is not about the american voter. this is not even about about the senate. this is about their own fragile ego. the house managers so much want to make an impact that they are out there exaggerating mischaracterizing. and instead of it being the end of a president trump's presidency. this is going to be the end of a joe biden nomination. griff: we will wait and see what happens. to your point list you are making. lisa: pete does not agree. griff: adam schiff admonished by chief justice roberts because of language not conducive to civil discourse. and schiff and nadler not

only making those things nadler using the dictator label in his closing last night and schiff insulting the g.o.p. senators for suggesting they were warned by the administration head on a pike. >> cbs news reported last night said that g.o.p. senators were warned vote against your president, vote against the president, and your head will be on a pike. now, i don't know if that's true. vote against the president and your head will be on a pike. i have to say when i read that, and, again, i don't know if that's true. when i read that i was struck by the irony. griff: to your point, it may be the case that even some democrat senators choose that because of the way the managers have presented it that it in any way den greats the most deliberative body in the country. i don't know. it may be not in the favor of. pete: i don't know if it's

true. when you say something, that it offends your audience and then you say i don't know if it's true. the choice that a collins or murkowski has is adam schiff or president trump. you think by voting with adam schiff one time you are going to win over liberals in your state or others that are going to vote with you. they are just making the case, i think, easier for republican senators like that to say. at this point we have heard from people. let's vote to move on. you are just insulting me now. lisa: ask yourself. this if your objective was to persuade. would you go into someone else's house and insult them? no. this is about politics. and you look at that guy right there, adam schiff, this is someone who has lied to you at home about collusion. someone who has mislead you about fisa abuse. found out michael horowitz said 17 errors and omissions all going in the direction of hurting president trump. this is someone who told you he didn't have contact with the whistleblower. guess what? "the washington post" gave him four pinocchios. let's listen to someone who has been in a room. this is what senator marsha blackburn from tennessee had to say.

>> the reaction on the floor was exactly as was reported. there were several of us that just said that's not true. and he should have retracted that at that point in time. you know, it's the same thing that has caused people to gasp when we were called liars. when we were accused of participating in a cover-up which was a crime. when we heard the president called a dictator. when we heard him called a hun narcotic. when we heard him called a king. and, of course, we bear in mind that they have told us what their purpose is re-litigate the 2016 election. pete: they have been trying to defend joe and hunter biden as well. they did a preemptive defense of those arguments. i wonder why they are doing that? i will let you answer that while this is all going on. while we are talking wall to call about impeachment. this network is the only one covered the march for life. we are going to bring rachel campos-duffy's interview with the president back to the program here exclusive to "fox & friends." also the economy. which is gang busters and

again not a single left room newsroom in this town or in washington or california americans are happy with the economy we have. in fact, look at this number. it looks underwhelming on its face but here is why it is important. 41% of americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the u.s. you say well, why is not over 50. this the reason this is important it hasn't been this high since 2014. 15 years since the americans have said, you know, we are a dissatisfied bunch, general liberation we are happy with the way things are going. lisa: what is over 50%. "the washington post" poll found 556% of americans approve of president trump's handling of the economy. 38% disapprove. 6% there with no opinion. and why this matters is because when you are trying to defeat an incumbent. you have to convince americans there is a need for change. i think the challenge for democrats is if you have joe biden. is he basically represents the past, right? so he -- are you going to convince americans go backwards to a less rate economy or bernie sanders is he about huge change or

resolution. why would people want that when things are going well. griff: a saying in politics grab them by the pocketbook their heights and minds will follow. charles payne said this earlier. >> if you break it along political lines, only 14% of democrats are satisfied. >> interesting. >> that's kind of sad. because, if you do have a job, right, a few years ago that wasn't a guarantee. if you are getting a raise, if you can see and feel the prosperity around you, it's unfortunate that you won't allow yourself to enjoy it or embrace it. things are going to get better this year. all signs point to a big housing boom this year to go along with the stock market boom. people have to be thrilled. you have to be happy. pete: they are, absolutely. you know who is not thrilled hillary clinton because she is not in the white house. still not there. but she is still talking. i don't know if democrats like that. lisa: she is out of the woods. pete: out of the woods and on hulu in upcoming documentary. candidates to include bernie sanders. here's what she had to say.

he was in congress for years. he had one senator support him. nobody likes him. nobody wants to work with him. he got nothing done. so, clearly, hillary didn't like bernie in 16. so she rigged it against him. still doesn't like him. lisa: senator sanders had some thoughts on that. take a listen to what he said. >> sorry for what secretary lindt had to say. i know she said that nobody likes me, right? i mean, this is not the kind of rhetoric that we need right now when we are trying to bring the democratic party together to defeat the most dangerous president in american history. >> when is the last time you spoke with senator clinton? >> it's been quite a while. lisa: griff, i think people are underestimating bernie sanders. he almost won iowa in 2016. he won new hampshire by double digits. what do you think? griff: 49.6 to 49.4. within .2% in the medicare from all proposal in sanders outlier in 2016. now it's the main event. is he really on top there have you got biden who has been in iowa. it may actually help sanders

in one scenario, interestingly, ironically, that he is stuck in washington and he will come in if this trial goes the way we think it is. he will get there just in time for the caucuses. we will find out. pete: bernie has deep support and people feel like he is authentic guy. i don't know if i can pay for it all. i think it's the right thing to do. bernie bros are still there speaking of bernie, we have additional headlines as well. bernie sanders admits just mentioned, it's impossible to know how much his social plan also actually cost americans. >> well, look, we have political opponents. >> you don't know how much your plan costs? >> you don't know, nobody knows. this is impossible. >> you are going to propose a plan to the american people and not tell them how much it costs. >> of course i will. pete: one estimate was $60 trillion. others have it north of $100 trillion. sanders, of course, as you know, wants healthcare for all, free college, and student loan forgiveness especially for illegals. the family of an indiana

toddler who fell from her grandfather's arms to her death off a cruise ship is clamming royal caribbean. cruise liner. salvador knew the window was open and held his granddaughter out the window. attorney tells fox news a recent inspection of the ship shows they didn't have proper warnings posted near the window. >> at a minimum, if they weren't going to follow code that they should have had some type of warning in place even if they had just used four simple words that were prominently placed caution, window is open. chloe would still be here. pete: now he is facing a homicide charge in lowe's death. and president trump making history. first president to speak at the march for life in d.c. >> i am fighting for you, and we are fighting for those who have no voice. and we will win because we know how to win.

adam schiff this week. why isn't that ever brought up. lisa: let me ask you that why isn't it. >> why isn't it? lisa: i want you to answer it? >> the bias of omission, lisa. we have this conversation before. we need to leave that out that would step on the narrative that adam schiff to many americans isn't a trusted source. when he is up there for hours and hours on end and isn't fact-checked you can go ahead and say that he was dazzling. but did it have an effect is the question? david axelrod said something very interesting last night on cnn and he, of course, was a senior advisor to obama. he said he was at a democratic focus group in chicago. democratic voters. and for the first 80 -- 80 minutes of that focus group impeachment didn't come up once. james comey, when he testified before the senate intelligence committee in 2017, 20 million people watched. michael cohen when he watched 16 million people watched. now, you can't even get 9 million people watching impeachment across all these networks. repeat some jeopardies of jeopardy are beating

impeachment across networks a people don't trust people like adam schiff. don't think he is all that dazzling. and fatigued and frustrated with the process. pete: well-said, can't top that george stephanopoulos at abc. former clinton staffer. he was part of the live broadcast. there was one of the president's attorneys was speaking. they were taking -- here is a visual right there. in the middle of it, he is trying to get them, it appears, to cut away from the shot or something, he is making it, you know, hey, hey -- emotion and cut back to him. the viewers will say did he not want to hear what the president's team had to say? what do you make of that? >> you are a host. have you all hosted did you ever tell a producer to get out of something or the producer tells you the other day. pete: you can try. >> look george stephanopoulos communications director and press secretary for president clinton backs in the 190s. dots sean spicer get that job going forward? how would liberals feel about that? yeah, the bias is apparent.

you can't be southeastern doing that even if it was innocent it doesn't matter perception is real. griff: thanks for being here. more "fox & friends" coming up after this. 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. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa

slavery. >> that's not a racial slur. >> if you are chained up and doing work, right? pete: host of position nation david webb. >> slavery must be the new buzz word for the democrats because aoc used it around mlk day. but no surprise here that pete buttigieg or i like edge edge edge edge. decided to go forward on crime and criminal justice reform approach. go in on breakfast club is not new. kamala harris did it. lied about her, you know, age thing with tupac because it's a big reach into the black community and he has a problem with southern black voters in the carolinas where they determine the primaries. but, some other facts matter. crime, since buttigieg was elected mayor of south bend went up 50%. violent crime rates 50% just

about increased. so, how does he translate that into votes for blacks? his policies have failed. yeah, he is young. he is hip. he is new. and this looks good for the democrats. but to the voters out there asking where's the substance in pete buttigieg. pete: clearly has not translated. his support new england black voters in south carolina is currently at 2%. up from zero. i guess he is making some progress. you can't say that mayor pete is not a smart guy. you can even see in that clip, he understands the logic of the argument ultimately to compare someone being locked up to what slavery was. he had to be pulled into it. does even being pulled into it help him. >> no. but here's the problem. he has to be pulled into it. if you are an honest person and he is not in this case, you deal with it for what it is. if somebody asks you or i a question, pete. and the premise of the question is wrong, what do we do? we say your premise is wrong. let's talk about the issue.

he is simply making the play charlie main the god is the big player in the black community because of the syndicated radio show and that's why they go to it. pure politics. the senators are stuck in d.c. except for bernie, private plane back to iowa. and buttigieg has an opportunity here. biden can't break out because he can't get anywhere beyond a certain percentage. maybe for a little while buttigieg can use this to hang on and make it to super tuesday. the mayor is not going anywhere. in reality, he is not going to be the candidate. look out for him in the future. he is a very hard core leftist in sheep's clothing. pete: it just looks like pandering to me. >> pure and simple. pete: david webb, thank you very much. check him out on fox nation as well. appreciate it. well, an estimate you had 100,000 people filled the streets of d.c. women's? march? no this is march for life the one that's actually

we want to get to your film as well. before that, you were at the march. explain to our viewers what the it was like to be there and the momentum of the cause. >> it's always very encouraging to see hundreds of thousands of people come out for this cause. people of all ages, all ethnicities. you have democrats, republicans all joining us for life. every time i have an opportunity to go, it is kind of like being in a huddle and everybody getting together and encouraging each other before we go out and continue to fight for life. this is an issue i believe that is shaped in a partisan way right now. it shouldn't be that way. standing for the vulnerable should be something everybody can get behind. lisa: benjamin, as pete said, let's get to your film. this documentary is called divided hearts of america. here is a clip. watch. >> a landmark ruling in municipal court today supreme court today legalizing abortions. >> a decision is best made between a woman and her doctor. >> in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip

we have seen laws that have been enacted on both sides. there is all these one liners that each side says. so my journey through "divided hearts of america" is getting to the issue. what is abortion. what are the implications if we don't deal with this in the correct way? griff: we can't bring you on the show today without asking you for a super bowl prediction. county 49ers stop the explosive offense of patrick mahomes? >> are you a 49ers fan? lisa: sounds like it. griff: i think you would agree this kansas city offense has just demonstrated how explosive they can be. >> they are. griff: a real problem for the 49ers. >> you look at the past two games. they were actually behind in the last two playoff games against tennessee and houston. somehow able to come back. we know how explosive their offense is the thing that gets lost an old saying that the defense wins championships. while that's not all the time true, when you look at san francisco's defense, they have four players who total combined for over

total sacks. it's huge to contain mahomes. san francisco can get the win. if not, the chiefs are able to not get behind early and keep pace, i think it will be hard for san francisco. i don't have a winner. can i see both sides winning. at this point, it's a little too early. i think we are in for a very, very exciting super bowl. griff: new to put your money on somebody, who do you? >> i would put my money on the team that's able to start fast. griff: very well said. pete: you are a great football player, benjamin. you may have a future in politics. griff: indeed. be sure to watch the super bowl on february 2nd only on fox. don't miss brian, ainsley and steve starting friday january 31st. lisa: watch divided hearts of america which is benjamin's.

griff: the trump administration announcing new crackdowns to help secure our southern border. cbp and ice seizing 25,000 tons of shipment of

goods last year. what does this mean in helping border crisis. mr. commissioner, you had a big conference yesterday about this breaking down. deal just signed with china. tell me what you are doing? >> good morning, griff. thanks for having me. really important announcement yesterday, a direct result of the president's memorandum from last april, directing us at the department of homeland security to really put forth an action plan to directly impact the trafficking in illicit counterfeit items. look, griff, as you mentioned, over 27,000 seizures of counterfeit goods were affected by cbp just last year. worth over $1.5 billion. that's $1.5 billion of lost potential revenue for the actual trademark holders and american businesses who hold these trade marks.

and, $1.5 billion worth of less than optimal commodities purchased by consumers, oftentimes presenting health and safety risks to the purchasers here in the american public. that is what we are combating it. is a very important effort. another part of the national security efforts of the u.s. customs and border protection. griff: it's both an economic and possibly physical threat to the u.s. i want to hit another topic we have talked a little bit about. we have been playing a tape, some hondurans. we saw another caravan coming. one who are did you know ran get here. plan to wait out the president. president trump for another administration. >> yes. griff: i'm going to play that for our viewers i know i know you can't weigh in politically. watch. this my idea is to go tijuana and in tijuana i'm going to go ahead and try to make a living until trump leaves the office. once he leaves the office, hopefully, everything is going to go back to normal

or the situation is going to get better for immigration laws and we're going to go ahead and try to get up. griff: deputy commissioner, as you know, i spent a lot of time in tijuana along with the caravans. maybe this is plan for some. without addressing the political side of, this what lessons have you learned in this last year of unprecedented numbers. should this be the case as the migrant says? >> well, griff, a couple points here. first, i would emphasize the fact here that we're still in a crisis. we have made some significant strides in effectuating absolute change along our southwest border. 70% decrease in the amount of illegal migrants that we have apprehended from the peak of the crisis in may through december. but, make no mistake about it. we still are averaging over 1,000 apprehensions in a day. former secretary, in fact, stated that that is a

crisis. and it absolutely is. so, this administration, us at the department, us at cbp will continue to work with our international counterparts and put forth the initiatives that have effectuated this change there is a lot of unfinished business here. particularly when it comes to the work that need be done here by the u.s. congress. i mean, right now, the initiatives we put in place and the work we have done with mexico, with our northern triangle partners essentially is more than what our very own congressional leadership has done by putting forth permanent changes in to the legal framework that is still wrought with loopholes and presents challenges to us both from a humanitarian perspective and a national security one. griff: all right. deputy commissioner robert perez thanks for joining us tonight. we appreciate all the work your men and women do. thank you, sir. >> thank you, griff. griff: coming up, getting ready for the super bowl on fox with the ultimate feast. don't missed grilled ribeye

for both teams during the super bowl. mostly the 9ers but ended his game with the chiefs. a lot. lisa: i think he just wants to get drunk. pete: i think so. 1.4 billion how many chicken wings americans are expected to eat over the super bowl weekend. american chicken council big weekend for them record-breaking amount is up by 2% compared to last year. rick: per wings per american. 4.5. griff: i think there is going to be montana drinking game as well. as the chiefs and 49ers get ready to face off on super bowl on fox. we are helping you get red jr. to the best super bowl party. lisa: chris colmes joins us now. >> thank you for having me. lisa: tell me about this spread we have got here. it looks delicious. >> i think most of the country, i'm from boston. is pretty glad they watched the patriots in the super bowl this year. but, there is one more game to be won. that's the food game. so, today, i want to take super bowl food to the next

level. so we have a lot of classic things that we see on the table. but, with a little bit of spin. today, we are going to make a lobster guacamole to really impress your friends. if you are down south in other parts of the country where you don't have access to lobster crab can be a great edition. we have thousand island, reuben, nachos, upscaled chicken, buffalo sliders roasted instead of fried. keep it healthier for the new year. really cool queso fundido dip. make a little guacamole please smash the garlic. lisa: i asked if i could the smasher. >> a good smart is smacking up raw garlic. lisa: i'm thought as good as. this and i'm getting -- i got my sleeve in there i'm sorry, i failed. don't have to be so gentle, hit it. >> smashed up nice, and go with our avocados here. we can do a couple.

okay. supposed to be good. the that's the whole idea. little bit of avocado in there. >> boston guy. that's where lobster comes. in. >> no doubt. pete: lobster with avocado. >> we are putting grapefruit, too. this is different than your classic guacamole that you see everywhere on every menu. we are using grapefruit which goes so well with lobster and nice alternative to using lime which is fun. i like spice personally. and we are going to smash this up. and nice, nice. and honestly, i think bringing the best food to the super bowl party is the way to go. but,. lisa: that's how you get invited back. if you are not the best making super bowl foods as alternative in the area. super bowl packs available for delivery from boston shop. pretty cool. griff: you get the quack it's good, lobster is fancy but steak is how you win the

game. >> steak is a crowd pleaser. be honest. grilled steak. put our lobster on top of here. we grilled up a couple steaks, what we do to finish off, we just put steaks inside the taco and then we have this lobster guacamole, right? then this becomes a surf and turf taco. you start with a steak taco add lobster then you are really impressing people. rick: that is smart. lisa: delicious. >> i think we are having a good time. >> i think the bottom fell out. >> what's the idea with the go bags. >> with city living people don't have a lot of space. griff: thank you for being here. check it out. you can win your super bowl game if you want. i'm going to read this because pete is still chewing big hour still ahead. jason chaffetz, neil ciewfd,

griff: fox news alert in just one hour president trump' defense team will take center stage at the senator impeachment trial. pete: it's going to the defense, after house impeachment managers the democrats finish their opening arguments late last night, while you were sleeping democrats slamming president and republicans as they finished presenting their case. >> this is a determination by president trump that he wants to be all-powerful, he does not have to respect the congress, he does not have to respect the representatives of the people, only his will goes. he is a dictator. >> president trump's team is expected to spend about three hours on opening arguments today and a more detailed defense will

be mounted monday. pete: and we're awaiting those if anything develops on the senate floor this morning we will bring it to you. the timeline can be a bit fluid so we're watching that when it comes. you'll see it in the meantime let's bring in jason chaffetz, fox news contributor former chairman the house oversight reform committee jason thanks for being here this morning really appreciate it. you've watched proceedings. the democrats effectively ended with insults, and by calling president a dictator. is what went on on the senate floor yesterday is it effective and what should people takeaway? >> it's disgusting, and i think it's offensive and when you have people like lisa murkowski whose critical to what the democrats want to do, say as much, i don't think it bodes well. remember jerry nadler is the chairman of the house judiciary committee he started his presentation when he first went up by saying the facts are undisputed, which is just not true at all, and he ends by calling president of the united states a dictator. that is so fundamentally wrong.

it is just his personal opinion. i know he doesn't like the president politically, but that is just wrong and that position, as a congressman, to go before the senate, and call the president of the united states a dictator. i hope they pay a heavy political price for that. >> lisa: jason what is the strongest case that president trump's team can make today and on monday? >> i think the fact. i tried to turn it back to the democrats and say what is the single-best piece of evidence that you think that donald trump overstepped the line? and they don't have anything, and when you don't have anything , you end up talking for like 18 hours trying to explain yourself. if they had something of substance, they would repeat it time and time and time again, but remember, the very first hearing on this charade started with adam schiff and his pairity , he couldn't quote the president directly from the transcript. he had to make it up. griff: you know jason, that's an

interesting point if you think about that schiff was also making a case in insulting in some instances some of the gop senators by suggesting they were warned by the administration i want you to listen to this and then react. >> cbs news reported last night that trump con any don't said that gop senators were warned, vote against your president, vote against the president, and your head will be on a pike. i don't know if that's true. vote against the president and your head will be on a pike. i have to say, when i read that, and again i don't know if that's true but when i read that i was struck by the irony. griff: is that a winning strategy, jason, when he's trying to get at least four senators to call for witnesses? >> that is classic adam schiff. i sat in the house for eight and a half years and listened to this stuff from adam schiff from the beginning. he is just a liar. he's just, i mean, he's resorted

to calling president a cheater, and all of these other things, but he takes an uncorroborated report and he puts it back in front of the senators saying this is what they told you and yet you have senators coming out saying people responsible people like james lang ford coming out saying that is just not true. that did not happen but that's classic adam schiff. take something he has no first- hand knowledge of, has not been corroborated and yet use it as evidence as something that he thinks should impeach the president. pete: okay jason so he's not citing facts which you said. he's not been effective because he's turning republicans who could have maybe voted for witnesses against him, his case has not looked strong by any measure yet if you turn on the other cable networks or the network news, this is the way that they're fawning over the one and only adam schiff. watch. >> watch adam schiff become emotional and to present his argument that is really

interesting to watch i think. very emotional closing there. >> the emotionalit y -- of adam schiff. >> during that closing argument very emotional. >> last night in emotional comments. >> democratic prosecutor adam schiff with an emotional appeal. >> you heard a powerfully emotional direct statement. >> making this emotional plea to end the session. >> his emotional appeal to a sense of what's right, to a sense of what is right for the country. pete: jason that's different than a clip we played earlier where they were saying it was a master full performance and now because he was emotional it was effective? >> yeah, emotional does not mean it was accurate or true or convincing. i realize he's an emotional wreck. i get that. i understand that, because i think that he's just overwhelmed with what he's gotten this country into but he has proven for three years straight that what he has said time and time again is factually

incorrect, and so we're going to hear for the very first time finally trump's team is going to be able to layout the facts and rebut what has been put forward and i don't think it's going to go well for the democrats. i think it's purely a partisan play on their part. >> lisa: jason, david axlerod, a key advisor for former president obama, had this to say about what democratic voters want. listen. >> i was in a focus group this morning for the institute of politics here at the university of chicago with some chicago democratic voters, and it was chilling to hear them talk about this , because impeachment didn't even come up, no one volunteered it for 80 minutes into the focus group, and we're right in the middle of the trial. when it came up they said that, you know, it's terrible what he did, the case has been proven but we know how it's going to turn out so we're not really that interested. we're ready to move on. >> lisa: so why do you think it's not coming up more with democratic voters? >> david axlerod' experience is exactly what i'm experiencing.

i was in texas yesterday. i'm in iowa today, and i could tell you go across the heartland , and people don't talk about this. they don't care about it. they think that they're picking on the president that they have been saying this for three years they've been crying wolf for three years, and none of it has turned out to be true. democrats continue this charade at their own personal, with all of this hyperbole they do so for their political future and i think they're going to lose because of it. griff: jason i want to ask a question from the view of these house democrat managers they are making the case in articleii that the president obstructed congress but yet they didn't go to the courts to compel the evidence and witnesses they are now saying they have to have, in doing so in their emotional pleas, they are accusing the president of being a king, dictated or but yet is it the case that they have failed to do their job? >> they did, because i think the only obligation of the senate is to hear the case

the house put forward. the democrats are going to suddenly spin and say that we have to hear from new witnesses, people we haven't heard before, but when they didn't pursue them when they had the chance, that, i think, look i'm the former chairman of the oversight committee. the obama administration stone walled us every single step of the way. every day i could point to a time when they didn't produce documents, they wouldn't produce witnesses and none of these democrats stood up and supported me when i was doing it so i beg to differ with these democrats, because they are only saying this because it's donald trump. they didn't say this when it was barack obama. >> lisa: do they get to 51? democrats are trying to get that 51 number to approve additional witnesses. do you think they get those votes? >> i hope not. i hope that the so-called moderate republicans don't take the bait. again, i think the only obligation those senators have is to hear the house case, not to retry, or add additional witnesses to a weak and totally partisan effort by the democrats

, but that'll be the big battle next week. remember, we still have 16 hours of questions from senators. this thing is going to go on for another week. pete: jason thank you for your insight. you know what you're talking about we really appreciate it but if i had another, the process is so predictable and boring i can't even think of another question because you've answered them all and there we are but jason thank you so much for joining us this morning we appreciate it. think about it he made such a great point he was the chairman of the oversight committee and for eight years all he did was get stonewalled and now they are yelling saying it's the trump team when to your point they never did the homework in the house if they wanted to make this because they were in such a rush but then they waited for a month but the whole thing makes people's heads spin. griff: it's a good point and to be fair about all of this even the new york times is reporting on earlier shows to that point, few key gop senators are being swayed on unnecessary -- >> lisa: how much have we heard in the media about president trump?

yet we have the democratic party on a completely partisan basis, is weaponizing impeachment, so think about the impact that is going to have in the future of this can't are both the constitution and congress. it's a big deal. pete: all right, we will, again, if anything breaks, we will bring it to you. turning now to your headlines starting with this fox news alert the deadly coronavirus spreading to 10 countries this as the cdc confirms the second case in the u.s.. doctors diagnosing a chicago woman after she recently traveled to china where the virus started. 63 patients are now being tested in the u.s. for possible symptoms across 22 states, and we got dr. n eshwat on the program earlier saying how you could catch the infection. >> if someone has it and they are coughing and sneezing you could potentially catch it that way and in china, it's spreading rapidly, but we have here in the united states, a very robust public health emergency response system and anyone flying in from that part of the world, the surveillance at the airport is there.

pete: she was emphatic to say hey no reason to upon ic we have a lot of protocols in this country. the virus claiming at least 41 lives and infecting more than 1,200 people in china. >> right now at the international space station nasa astronauts are installing a cool ing system on a $2 billion device that looks for cosmic rays. this is video from moments ago. it's the fourth space walk to fix the equipment, a robotic arm is helping astronauts on the mission. in between their space flights they are watching fox & friends. >> a baby takes center stage withac/dc hit song, "thunder struck." sensory overload. the baby's dad recorded his different sounds for over a year and then pieced them all back together to match the ac/dc

song and he joins us earlier on the program explain ing how he came up with the idea. >> he was basically making all of these baby noises that sound ed like notes so i essentially just started recording, and basically had all of these notes together from clipping them down into the individual notes and composed them into thunderstruck pete: matthew picked that tune because of its complexity allowed him to use as many clips as he could. those are your headlines. griff have you ever been tempted to make a video like that like of your daughters asking for an allowance or , you know complaining about something? griff: no but i should. and by the way if that baby grow s up to be an ac/dc fan. all right, to a fox news alert american troops overseas getting a surprise by our vice president , democratic senator richard blumenthal just made a bold blame about the evidence of the impeachment trial, senator, and juror kevin kramer responds, coming up.

>> i do believe that the evidence, the facts have been presented in such graphic and dramatic ways and the recollection of those profoundly courageous public servants who came forward , risking everything, and it will haunt my republican colleague. pete: maximizing his adjectives, democrat senator richard blumenthal making a bold claim about his republican colleagues in the senate about the impeachment trial. >> lisa: one of those is north dakota senator kevin kramer who joins us now. >> hi, good to be with you. >> lisa: senator we've seen people like jerry nadler say recuse republicans of a coverup, if they don't vote for witnesses and also seen adam schiff

essentially imply that republicans are beholden to the president or he's going to go after them politically. when you hear those kinds of insults what goes through your mind? >> well the first thing i think of is how unfortunate they're not from a normal place like north dakota or minnesota. i know there are good people in all of their states but it is so clear to me, you guys that whether it's nadler or south korea or any number of them but particularly any of those two, when they are talking to 100 senators they aren't aimed at any particular senator, they aren't aimed at any small group of senators they are aiming their words like something far from where i come from and i think there inlies part of the disconnect. the other part of it is that a lot of this , i think, is a sort of a preemptive strikes trying to set the stage, to undercut the president' defense, which i think is going to be spectacular and frankly i think it'll end this thing much sooner than i thought a week ago. pete: senator you're rightist effectively california and new york yelling at middle america and shaming them. is there any indication inside

the republican caucus, senator, that people are wavering or has this solidified republican report? >> it's a great question, because from my perspective, and i don't speak for any other senator, but for my perspective, they've certainly done nothing to win republican senators over in moderates or undecided in my view, but they've done plenty to sort of push them away, and the highlight of course was adam schiff's comments last night about citing whether it's true and admitting it, the cbs story, so, no, i think that its been just the opposite. now again i don't know what they are thinking as they wake up this morning but i be very encouraged if i was the white house. griff: senator you're inside that room. give us a sense are we any closer to seeing witnesses called or is the sense that your colleagues on both sides want to see this wrapping up? >> so i think that, again this is one of those areas where i can't speak for all of the

other senators as you know they need to flip for republican s and having said that it doesn't seem they've made that case. i've been back and forth on it myself, because frankly, we've just saw a video loop for several hours of a short video loop, for several hours of several witnesses that the house managers were able to interview and the white house hasn't been able to call a single one so in my mind if we will have any witnesses to start with the accuser, the bidens, you know, and people that could help on the president's team, but i think at the end of the day right now, we're close enough to the next election which by the way they've admitted is the alternative here that we have to let the people decide this and end it quickly. hear the defense, and you know, move on. >> lisa: thank you, senator. pete: thank you, sir i appreciate it. no talking, or cell phone. >> lisa: no. pete: well, as an estimated 100,000 people descend on d.c. for the march for life, president trump makes history. our rachel campos-duffy was

there and spoke to the president one on one, and she joins us on that, next. president trump: a lot of groups are under siege in our country and they have been for a long time. there's a lot of people and it turned out to be very successful hey frank, our worker's comp insurance is expiring, should we just renew it? yeah, sure. hey there, small business owner. pie insurance here with some sweet advice to stop you from overpaying on worker's comp. try pie instead

president trump: we are fighting for you and we are fighting for those who have no voice, and we will win, because we know how to win. >> [applause] griff: a historic day in washington as president trump became the first sitting president to address the march for life. >> lisa: fox news contributor and host of moms on fox nation, rachel campos-duffy was there and spoke to the president one on one.

rachel what an amazing experience to be there yesterday , and then also to be able to talk to the president. rachel: it truly was in 2003 obama was the first sitting president to address planned parenthood in person and yesterday was the first time a sitting president addressed the march for life which is the longest-running and largest human rights march in american history, so quite a day. take a look at this package. >> [chanting] "march for life" >> tell me why you came to the march today? >> i came because i'm fighting for life. >> we need to stand up for what we believe in. i came here to march for all of the babies born with downs syndrome. >> my daughter, 35 years ago, i was faced with an unplanned pregnancy and i'm proud to be here with her today. how can you look at this baby and say he shouldn't live. >> we are more than a choice. we are. every single human being is a

choice. >> [chanting] >> why are young people pro- life? >> compassion for those who don't have a voice. it's something that resonates with young people. >> representative jackson you're here as a democrat and you say this is not a partisan issue. life is not about democrat/ republican, black or white just about supporting life. >> we look at this issue specifically as a democrat republican thing, and stand up for life and the vulnerable. this is a justice issue. >> there's more energy here. what is that about? >> there is no question, the energy is electric, the president will be here soon, everybody is excited. >> it is my profound honor to be the first president in history to attend the march for life. >> what does it mean to you that the president came today? >> i can't even believe. we were a part of history, and the immigrants, i feel, wanted love, i feel that the president

came and he supported life. he has been a pro-life president and then he really shows that even moreso today. >> i think it just doubles down on the fact that he is pro-life and why i voted for him in 2016. >> the fact that president trump came here sends an incredibly strong message that he's not only a great president maybe the most pro- life president ever in policy but the fact that he's standing here, side by side with these tens of thousands of people. >> why did you want to be the first sitting president to ever address this march? president trump: well i didn't do it for that reason, but a lot of groups are under siege in our country and they have been for a long time, before i got here. you know things are changing too rapidly and not good, and so i saw them, they wanted me to make a tape, that they play and i've done it for three years now, and i said you know i'm in washington, maybe i'll just in citied of making a tape i'll go over it and i didn't know this was this big of a deal but they have a lot of people out there and its turned out to be very successful, their most successful one by far.

rachel: your administration just announced they are going to challenge california over their abortion requirements and their insurance. why did you take this? do you think that makes a lot of people angry and planned parent hood is spending $45 million. president trump: i think that we have a group of people just amazing and they've been with us and with them and we want to do what's right and do what we feel is right. president trump: unborn children is never had a stronger defender in the white house. >> [applause] awesome job, rachel. rachel: thank you. you know, i asked so many people in the march, what does it mean to you to have the president be there today and the number one answer i got was everything. this is a very grateful crowd. this is a very hopeful crowd, whose already very bolstered by polling that shows that young people are more pro-life than their parents, by science, by technology, and i think that this move, by the president, is one that is really encouraging to them and i think will

probably have some very good political consequences for him as well. griff: we shall see rachel campos-duffy thanks for being here and great job out there. pete: wonderful job thanks so much, rachel. lisa: goodbye, rachel. griff: to a fox news alert, more than 28,000 patients of their trial record to the secretary of senate baking details on the impeachment trial, that's next. look, this isn't my first rodeo... and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage

pete: we're back with a fox news

alert you're looking at a live look on capitol hill. we're awaiting the procession of the democrat house managers as they formally deliver their trial records from the house, to the senate, we're told that it's more than 28,000, as you'll recall, a few days ago as part of the beginning setting the rules for the senate trial, it was voted that the entire house record be entered the senate record, apparently it took them multiple days to run their xerox copiers to 28,000 pages and here we are today, eventually we'll see them walking down that hallway with those records. >> lisa: we'll hear from the president's team today as they mount their defense, or the defense and talk about the president's side of things and we also have senator from oklahoma, jim enhoff with us this morning. senator, so as you're looking at all of this , have the house managers were persuasive? >> i don't think so. they say the same thing over and over again.

i didn't put the clock as to how many hours they worked but i was sitting there listening and we heard the same thing over every nasty word that they could say about the president, they did, and yet, they're asking and trying to get more witnesses and all of this. they just want to drag this thing out. when you finish your case, as they did in the house of representatives and then the house managers come over and they say all right we're ready now to try it and they knew they did not have a case, and so they resorted to name calling i think they did some yesterday but it was a mistake because i was sitting behind some of the more moderate republicans when they said and i want to get this right, that if they vote against the president, he'll have their head on a pike. now, he never said that, and yet , this is what schiff very cleverly talks about these things. let me tell you something else, first of all i think you know what's going to happened to. it's the first time that all of our viewers will have the opportunity to hear the other side and they are answering on a fairly short session today and then a longer

session on monday, all of the accusations that have been made. now, what they have is they have 17 witnesses, we all know what they have done, but these witnesses, not one, was the first-hand witness. they are at hearsay. secondly no crime has been committed. if you look back at clinton and nixon and johnson, they committed crimes, not this president, and the last thing, they could only find abuse of power and obstruction of congress. now, they spent a long time saying trying to make it sound like that's an impeachable offense it's not. griff: but senator let me jump in for just one second because you're talking about these witnesses and the case we're making is even though they did not do their court process, to compel these documents and witnesses, yet they're making the case and leaving their arguments to the point that you, all 99 of your colleagues and the american people, should hear from these witnesses. what do you say? >> well, you know, i don't

agree with that. they had that opportunity. they said we don't need any more witnesses, we're ready right now , and that was their idea. one of the things they want to do, all three of you guys know this. they want to drag this out so they can be beating up the president. here we have a president that's given us the best of the economy and my life and rebuilding the military that was destroyed. i mean, he's doing great things, and yet, they want to be talking about impeachment between now and november, we're not going to let them do that. let me say one other thing. 75% of that stuff that they were talking about was about ukraine, saying this president was not supporting the ukraine. in fact, of the house managers, those that were there when that decision was made in 2016, i chair the senate arms services committee. i was there and i know. all three of those that were there at that time voted against supporting ukraine with military help. all of them.

and to sit there and listen to them talk like it was president trump, it was obama to start with and then trump immediately turned around his first day in office, so look, they will use things like that, when there just is no basis of fact and what they say. but they've done it cleverly. schiff i've never seen a guy who can say things that aren't true with more conviction than schiff pete: [laughter] well you're exactly right. the ukrainians long said all we need is one anti-tank vessel because then the russians will wonder how many more we have, obama would never deliver them and president trump did. now as you talk we're watching a live picture of the hallway from the house to the senate as the house managers are bringing this 28,000-page record from the house over the senate over to the senate to be put into the record. now you said you've heard nothing criminal. you say that so then you've got a non-criminal 28,000 page hear

say report being delivered to the senate. do you anticipate this thing should be, will be wrapped up before the end of next week? ultimately you do. >> i think we're operating under a rule. we voted on it we're going to do it. they've had so many hours and i can't remember what it was so we're going to have the same number of hours. our president's handlers will have the same number of hours and they will start with a short session today, of course this is on saturday. you don't have the big audience today. monday and tuesday will be major days. now keep in mind right after that, we'll have a chance to, those of us who are the senators , who are sitting in judgment right now, will have a chance to clarify anything or ask questions, but no, i think that i don't think you need all that time and the reason that you have so many pages of information of stuff that they came up with over the last four days on schiff's group is that they don't have a case. they don't have a case so they

repeat the same things over and over again, and the thing that bothered me is i told you, because i chair that committee and to know the problems that we have and that we had before, and the very individuals who are standing up there saying bad things about the president are the ones who voted against supporting the ukraine. it's outrageous. >> lisa: senator, senators will get a chance to ask questions. what questions do you have for the house managers? >> well i'm going to have the ones that effect military because that's my area of concentration and you know, we fight the democrats every year, we pass the authorization bill for 59 consecutive years and for these the last several years ever since and including the time with obama in office, we've had a problem trying to keep america to regain the strength that we lost. keep in mind during the obama years the last five years, he dropped the military spending

down by 25%, but we're now overcoming that, but the big thing now is they're using the wrong crush there, because they're dead wrong on that. we've been strong supporters of the ukraine and we're the ones trying to help them with the equipment necessary to stop the mass murder that's taking place on behalf of the russians. griff: and senator you're seeing some of the white house defense team coming through the halls, the house managers to deliver that trial record. let me ask you as lisa asked you for a question and then after the 16 hours that you guys allotted for written questions there will be a period of some four hours of debate. do you anticipate a vote coming up on witnesses? >> yeah, i would imagine there will, they will try to do a vote if nothing else just i think that schiff is going to try to use that as we've been witnessing now for several days, because he had the opportunity

to have all of the witnesses he wanted to, they could have continued with their survey in the very beginning that set this thing up and they elected not to do it. they had all of the witnesses, according to their word, all of the witnesses that they needed and wanted, they were ready to go, and now, since their case is not strong, they are wanting now to string it out. i think the whole purpose of this is trying to make this the subject of trying to beat up the president between now and november, on impeachment as opposed to doing the things we need to be doing. this guy is doing a good job and i know all these guys over there , they hate the guy, but nonetheless, we're going to win, they are going to lose. pete: [laughter] well you've got the votes, it's absolutely right. i think we're seeing a number of other senators walk in that's ron johnson of wisconsin walking to the senate right now. senator you'll be there in a moment but just for a second take us inside the chamber. when you have breaks what are you talking about with your republican colleagues or

democrats at this point? >> well, i tell you what dominates it. i probably shouldn't tell you this , but we go back into the coat room during these breaks that we have and we only had two breaks all day yesterday and during that timeframe the major conversation was the things that they've said that were not true blatantly not true, and how to be sure that that word gets out so that we use everything that we've got, and we've got a lot of amunition there, because they base their case on things that weren't true pete: intereing. senator jim inhof e, thank you so much for your time. not as long of a day today thankfully. appreciate it. >> lisa: thank you. pete: well president trump' defense team starting to arrive on capitol hill as you've seen, these are live pictures, just off the senate floor. neil cavuto will be covering it all morning after us, he joins us live on that, next. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy,

and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof! whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby!

pete: this is jim jordan member of the president' defense team just off the senate floor addressing reporters, listen. >> during the hearing, it's all based on my presumption. so that's their key witness, and again, the guy they cited 611 times in their report. today you're going to hear the facts as we've said all along our case, the president's case, is so strong with the constitutional grounds and so strong in the fact he was denied due process in the house and most importantly, those four facts that are on his side that will never change. so i'm going to let lisa speak next. >> great. i think today is very important to report to the american people this is the first time after 70- plus days that they are able to hear the president's team make his case.

this has been an unfair process from the start and as you know the president's legal team was not able to sit in the depositions and what we heard from adam schiff and the democratic house managers was plucking portions of depositions and i think you're going to hear a lot of pushback and setting the record straight. the questions that i asked the witnesses on the house intelligence committee, not a single witness had direct evidence of impeachable offenses , high crimes, misdemeanors, bribery or treason, and just i want to comment i went home to my district last night and i was at a big local chamber of commerce event about 500 people, and almost every single person i talked to said when are we going to get beyond this and get back to work on behalf of the american people? they were excited about usmca, i represented along the u.s. canadian border so people want us to get back to work. this is distraction, and i believe the president has an incredibly strong case based upon the facts i'll turn it over to mark. >> yeah, over next couple of days what you're going to hear from the trump defense team is a

rigourous and vigorous defense using the facts. i mean for the last three days what we've had is a false narrative, actually i would say a club sandwich filled with unbelievable falsehoods, sandwiched between hyperbole and conjecture, and so as we look at this , it's time that we allow the american people to see the facts and when the facts are presented, starting today, what you'll see is a number of statements that adam schiff and my democrat colleagues on the house manager's team have made are simply not true. now, we saw that last night. adam schiff was able to offend 53 republican senators by suggesting the president of the united states said something to him and to them, that all of them knew was not true, and so

first the first time they got to experience what we've experienced for the last three months is that adam schiff is willing to make false statements when he thinks it's to his advantage. that will be called out today. it'll be called out in the days to come and ultimately the president of the united states will not be only vindicated but he'll be exonerated from these false claims. we're willing to answer any questions you might have. >> reporter: what do you think of adam schiff with comments on the floor and a lot of the republican senators weren't very happy. >> well the republican senators have a right to not be happy with a head on the pike statement. i can tell you, i probably get talking to the president more than most members of congress. not only is that something that he didn't say but it's not something that he's ever used, and so to suggest that and i'm not going to throw off on a reporter that had, you know, reported that but i can tell you that when you know the facts,

that the republican senators, and actually the democrat senators should be offended by that kind of rhetoric on the senate floor. how dare adam schiff and his team, he and jerry nadler, coming in and really going after the integrity of our senate colleagues. listen, we can all make fun between one chamber and another, but this is a serious matter and to use that kind of rhetoric was just highly inappropriate. reporter: trump's defense team is bringing in the senses to charge against the president and bringing up the steele dossier, do you think that's relevant? >> actually adam schiff and his team made them relevant. when they opened the door and they suggested that there is nothing there, as it relates to hunter biden, you know, they said a debunked conspiracy theory. when they opened the door i can tell you what will rush in are the facts that all of this , the five of us have. those facts will rush in, the defense team will be able to address it but they have a

responsibility now to address it maybe not just in this impeachment process, but they have a responsibility now that its been raised that they're going to have to investigate that, so the end of the impeachment will not be the end of the investigation into those allegations that my democrat colleagues put forth. reporter: do you want the senate judiciary committee to take-up that part of the investigation of joe and hunter biden? >> i talked to senator lindsey graham last night about a number of these allegations. he is very thoughtful and serious about trying to prioritize what his committee needs to look at. obviously, that's a decision for him to make, but again, i think that he believes that it's a responsibility that he has to address now, that perhaps was not necessarily one of the top 10 priorities for his committee. reporter: let me just add to that on hunter biden it is important to remember that republican house members formal ly requested to hear from hunter biden. adam schiff vetoed every single

witness we requested unless they were on the democratic witness list so we formally requested to hear from hunter biden because i do think the facts are important to this case but we are in a republican-controlled senate. adam schiff won't be able to pick and choose who he wants, the president deserves a fair trial so i support the senators as they make this decision. reporter: [inaudible] >> yeah, i think that it's up to them. i can tell you whether they use 24 hours or not. i don't anticipate that they will. they won't need 24 hours to actually debunk the three days that my democrat colleagues had. i be very surprised if 24 hours gives you just because the facts are on our side and it doesn't take three days to present the facts. >> yeah the facts are they're pretty quick. ukraine got the aid and there was no investigation into biden there you go. that's my case. >> anything else? thank you, all. thank you, guys. pete: all right you've been watching house republicans

screen left and we just saw house democrats screen right walking the official record of the house inquiry over to these are live videos now of those inquiry records, being brought over to the senate chamber for part of that trial opening today let's bring in neil cavuto and host of cavuto live. neil we're passing this coverage over to you. your take at this moment as we watch those records pass over to the senate? neil: it almost looks like they were delivering groceries but maybe i'm just hungry but it's interesting because if you think about what has transpired over the four days of the house managers making their case, did they manage to change any republican minds? it doesn't look like that's the case, so is this a foregone conclusion, and when you hear congressman meadows talk about the fact that the republicans might not take their entire allotted 24 hours, it seems to me that they're going to push very quickly, to end this debate , without witnesses

and maybe to wrap it up before the end of next week. now that would seem unthinkable but again, the house managers might have failed at their primary task to at least change some minds and open some republican minds to witnesses, which appears unlikely at least when it comes to getting votes. griff: and neil to your point if you look on the cover of the new york times today a headline above it key gop senators display being swayed, what do you make of the fact that the new york times is essentially conceding the point you're making? neil: and within that story too to your point, griff is this notion that witnesses change the dynamics here, the issue for republicans is will that kind of promote the house managers argument and more details to see , democratic argument and schiff's argument, we need to get these latest developments addressed and the comments, and the tape and everything else that alone

justifies on giving this a little bit more time. republicans seem unvowed here saying well you had your chance, you had your opportunity, and they're looking at that and saying not worth it. pete: absolutely. neil we'll let you get ready for your show. we know you've got a good one coming up we'll pass it to you in about six minutes. neil: thank you very much. pete: you're watching live pictures just senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, approaching the senate chamber as we approach the top of the hour, when proceedings this morning are supposed to start right there in that location. let's bring in mike emmanuel live on capitol hill with the latest make you're in the middle of the fury there. what's going on what's the latest? >> pete, griff, lisa, good morning to you guys, the buzz definitely picked up as we expect the senate to gavel back into the session in a matter of minutes. it's interesting because a lot of republicans i talked to over the past several days are saying less is more. they're hoping that the president's team will go far less than 24 hours, sure they have to mount a serious defense and defense of president trump but they're thinking that the 24

hours that the democrats used was too redundant and then there was some lines that seem to have blown up on the democrats. you had jerry nadler calling president the dictator saying that republican senators who don't support voting for more witnesses or documents are engaged in the coverup. that seemed to offend a bunch of senators and then adam schiff basically saying this is not a parking ticket, this is not a minor crime. lecturing the senators like they don't know what's going on here, this is a very serious matter and so it'll be interesting to see if some of those lines from the democrats in the closing hours may have backfired with some of the senators they need to come over to support the democrats, to vote for more witnesses and documents, bottom line we've been waiting for the president's team to get an opportunity, and here they go. we expect a few hours today and then a fuller defense on monday, lisa? >> lisa: and mike you look at some of these moderate republicans that democrats as you mentioned are trying to get on board to approve, get to the votes that they can call new

witnesses and additional witnesses, what's your read? because you're talking to these senators, and you're talking to these members at the heart of all of this. what's your read? will they get to that 51 number, democrats? >> great question, and at this point, my guess is they will not, because a lot of the democrats seem to be throwing in the towel at this point. i thought perhaps susan collins would because she voted for witnesses back in 1999. she's a very independent-minded thinking republican and so i thought perhaps she might go against the grain on this one. lisa murkowski sounded like she was thinking about it but she was also quite offended by some of the stuff that the democrats said to her during their presentation. we've heard some buzz that perhaps senator mitt romney might be interested but we've not heard anything more recently from him, and so it seems to me kind of hard to imagine that there will be four or five or more republican senators joining with democrats, perhaps after hearing about 24 hours of

arguments from the democrats perhaps they will say they've heard enough. pete: yeah. griff: speak if you will, we have had these last three days, and now it moves to the defense. the senators will change their focus. we saw all of the comments, how does the dynamic change now, as those senators sit in the same circumstances? >> great point, griff. a lot of senators were board by the democrat's presentation, because they felt like they had watched the house process. these attorneys were not engaged in the house process, so this is entirely new, and so wherever you sit on the political spectrum it'll be a new argument you're hearing today. probably about three hours or so, and then probably another eight hours on monday, and we'll see where they go from there, but it'll be a new presentation, some people are thinking oh, they're just going to attack the democrats, but a lot of senators i spoke with including ted cruz of texas say they should go after the substance here, that they believe that the democrats did not close the deal, did not make the case, and to really go after substance and so it'll be interesting to

see how they mix in the members of this legal team when you talk about ken starr and also, you know the distinguished professor from harvard, alan dershowitz, where they use them, to help make the case for president trump. pete: very different set of presenters when his defense team comes this morning, thank you very much. griff: great job, mike. pete: as mike's been talking we've been seeing live pictures from there off the senate floor. we've seen amy klobuchar, remember we got senators on the democrat side running for president, lisa murkowski whose name has come up throughout this entire process as being a potential swing vote although her comments after what adam schiff said yesterday seemed to push back on that, and then of course mitch mcconnell, whose the key to all of this , the senate majority leader has set the rules his caucus has largely stayed together, in defense of the president and that is after three days of the democrats making their case. today, monday, tuesday, it's time to hear from the president. >> lisa: and we also saw senator lisa murkowski from alaska on the screen, just there she's one of those key moderate

republicans that democrats are trying to angle for to one, get to that 51 for witnesses and then also, you know, their desire is to get to that conviction they need 67 senators so what mike emmanuel said is so important because his read, he's on the ground. his read is they won't get that 51 number for witnesses. that's important, griff. griff: well well see and you know if you're tuning in today, and you've been board so far you should watch today here on fox news channel because it is as mike was saying the first time that the white house defense team will make the case that the house managers failed to reach the constitutional benchmark of impeachment that it does not rise, we have not heard this yet. you're getting an opportunity to do so, as we get ready to hand this over to our friend neil cavuto. pete: and the president's legal team has said today, two or three hours worth, considering a trailer, an appetizer, for the main course, which will come on monday and tuesday and again, they may not end up using all of that time. we're going to bring it to you all morning long on the fox news coverage. our special coverage of the

impeachment trial, they are just off the senate floor as it begins on this saturday but the president's case being made will start in just moments with neil cavuto. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ neil: the capitol, the senate floor where the president's legal team moments away from getting first chance to argue his case in the impeachment trial and respond to house impeachment managers who just wrapped up their own arguments over the last 4 days, they were telling senator that is the president did indeed abuse his power and obstruct justice and now they obstructed the congress of the united states itself but republicans is far are not
