involvement, skills on the court. he joined at 17, youngest player at the time in the nbaa 20 years here, 18 as an all-star. they this four daughters including 13-year-old jean jianna. they were on a way to a tournament when they died. along with a pilot and six other passengers. the chopper took off from john wayne airport in orange county near where bryant lived 9:00 a.m. crashing later in the santa monica mountains. the plane built in 19991 had no incident record and operated by a reputable local company and flown by experienced local pilot witnesses say. heard the helicopter flying low. engines struggling vanished in the fog and he saw a fireball. fta and ntsb have dreams on the ground. weather could be a factory there was a heavy marine layer yesterday though this helicopter is rated to fly in zero visibility.

other speculation, mechanical. pilot errors a bird a drone strike because it was flying so low. >> we do know an there was an issue of visibility and a low reeling. ceiling. the actual conditions at the time of impact that is still yet to be determined. >> we had none operating in the area at the time. >> why? because of the weather? >> because of the weather. >> also on board orange coast college baseball coach john and daughter alyssa. brian wrote a poem called dear basketball. made into film and oscar in 2018 to which his daughter g.g. he gave credit. >> talk about as a family and my little 11-year-old gianna says you always tell us to go after our dreams she says man up.

she is 11. i had to man up and go for it. fans of bryant took to the streets. symptom to staples, others to the sports academy where they shared memories and honored a player synonymous with the city. law enforcement has been critical of tmz for reporting these fatalities because they could notify next of kin. the coroner says it could be several days before the other passengers are identified. back to you. steve: william, i have a question for you. that particular helicopter, the s-76 s. usually flies with two pilots. yesterday just one. any idea why? >> i can't tell you, steve. i know it was two engine, considered a very dependable aircraft. this particular company, this pilot, according to other pilots, that we have spoken, to highly reliable. i can't tell you why. back to you, steve. steve: all right. thank you very much, william. brian: let's bring in former pro-basketball player, played against kobe. brock, the whole basketball

world -- not only the basketball world but almost in every country that plays basketball understood his or her kobe was. wanted to be him in many ways. what was it like playing against him? >> >> you know, it was unbelievable, unique experience. i got to train with him. i got it play against him. and he was different, like you said, because he grew up in italy so he was a global icon. he had a different understanding and respect for the game. and, you know, he was a star in a city who loved its stars. it's just unbelievable tragedy. as you know, brian, you are a great sports fan and everything, it's hit the nba family really hard. ainsley: tell us about his past. you say he grew up in philly. philadelphia. traded to the lake ares, played they're for 20 years. was his dad a basketball player, too. >> yeah, so joe bryant was a basketball player. he played for the sixers and played overseas which allowed to kobe to grew up

in italy. en sonny his advisor rigged the draft the general manager the lakers really liked him. 30 minutes into the draft workout i have senile enough. put the word out he was going to play in italy. they tried to sabotage the draft so he could get to the lakers. kobe was so unique and intense in everything he did. and, you know, if you stripped away all the show time and all the bright lights, he would be as unique and authentic as any player who has ever played in any park or playground anywhere any time. steve: when he signed that nba contract because he was only 17, his parents had to cosign it at the time. you say, brock, that kobe bryant was essentially the bridge between michael jordan and lebron. explain that. >> he was, he was inintergenerational. who is going to take the throne and be the rest to

make the crown. first real mega star to play in the social media era. i know lebron. i have played with re lebron. he looked up to kobe as anything. his legacy, as much as anything a father with unborn child or child that's young. i wish you could have seen kobe bryant play. that generational and that special. brian: especially appreciate it. mike tyson did that talk about 1910 and 1890. and kobe was in awe of the people that came before him. that's all he did. and he went, as soon as he established himself, he went back to those guys to learn more about the same and that humility never left him. those guys showed up at his retirement and his final game. and when they hung his jersey. >> so, brian, you obviously know your sports. and kobe emulated michael jordan. he was the closest thing we have seen to jordan since. in an era where everybody loathe managers sit out

games and risk averse with their health and body. he never missed games. warrior ultimate competitor. he did that on the court and off the court with his family as you could see the way he was raising his daughters up until the end. steve: certainly a sad day. brock, thank you very much for joining us today from austin, texas. ainsley: i can't imagine what his wife and three girls, what they're feeling this morning losing their sister and their dad. everyone the grammys honored him last night. everyone was talking about this yesterday. we are all talking about it this morning. anyone who has commented on it who knew him said he was such a hard-worker. brought it every game. brian: he did. and when you are the best and also the hardest worker, such a rare combination. seven minutes after the hour and some facets of this story and discuss it throughout the morning. president trump's legal team will resume their defense on impeachment today. steve: this all comes as democrats ramp up calls for john bolton who suddenly in the "new york times" to

testify. ainsley: mark meredith preorders john bolton's book began on amazon. mark? >> you can imagine this is going to be a very busy day ahead. senators had the day off on sunday from the impeachment trial. they will be getting back to work this afternoon amid that news you were just talking about. the former national security advisor john bolton. on sunday, the "new york times" first reported that bolton and his upcoming book will say that president trump told him the reason he was delaying sending foreign aid money to ukraine was for political investigations. specifically into democrats and possibly joe biden. the president said overnight bolton may be selling a book here and is denying this is about politics. democrats are jumping on the story saying exactly why they want bolton and others close to the president to testify in a senate trial. a majority of senators would have to agree to compel that additional testimony. those arguing the case

overnight, house democrats put out a statement jumping on this they wrote, quote: senators should insist that mr. bolton be called as a witness and provide his notes and other relevant documents. the senate trial must seek the full truth and mr. bullet ton has vital information to provide. already a number of senate republicans have said they are not really planning to vote to support additional witness testimony. it's unclear whether this bolton news in all of this. we are expecting those lawmakers to be back here around 1:00 for the trial. the president's defense team will be on the senate floor. back to you guys. steve: mark, thank you very much. that story mark is talking about. number one story in the "new york times" right now. money to ukraine tied to inquiries of bullet ton book says. it says over dozen bees of pages this is the book they to make sure there wasn't secret stuff. somewhere along the way the

"new york times" wound up with somebody leaked a copy to the "new york times." and the way they describe it, over dozens of pages mr. bolton described how the ukraine affair unfolded over several months until he departed. for example, it says in the next paragraph, secretary of state mike pompeo acknowledged privately that there was no basis for by the president's lawyer rudy that the ambassador to ukraine was corrupt and believed mr. giuliani may have been acting on behalf of other clients according to the bolton transcript. ainsley: disagrees with this. he was up late last night tweeting about it. i never told john bolton the aid to ukraine was tied to investigations into the democrats including the bidens. i never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. if john bolton said, this it was only to sell a book with that can said, the transcripts of my calls with president zelensky are all the proof that is needed. in addition to the fact that president zelensky and the foreign minister of ukraine said there was no pressure and no problems.

additionally, i met with president zelensky at the united nations. democrats said i never met areleased the military aid to ukraine without investigation and conditions amend far aahead of schedule. i allowed ukraine to purchase javelin anti--tank missiles. my administration has done far more than previous administrations. brian: times reporting said they shared the manuscript with others is false. they said they did it through the process. and the process, obviously, is corrupt. if john bolton's lawyers are telling the truth here and they just submitted it in and it's leaked out, if that is, indeed, the case, more evidence that people within the administration are actually against the administration. and the other thing is, devastating timing because this thing was on the fast track to closing out without witnesses on friday. only mitt romney pretty much saying i want to see witnesses. everybody else saying i have

heard enough. this gives fuel to senator schumers of the world, adam schiffs of the world to say i need a witness and he wants to testify. steve: when you say devastating timing, it's got to be a coincidence, right? brian: unbelievable. steve: come out hours before the senate impeachment is going to start at 1:00. going to be talking to stephanie grisham. she is going to be talking to us in the next hour to talk about this and, of course, the white house is pushing back. they are expecting the president's lawyers to go full bore on this later today. ainsley: if they do call witnesses, then the president will push back, call it executive privilege, say he is not allowed to talk. say that's the law. this could go on for a long time. steve: i still don't think they are going to bring witnesses in. brian: one thing i know for certain is jillian mele is prepared with the other stories. two huge stories even more, right? jillian: a lot of news today. let's begin with this fox news alert there are now five confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the u.s. the latest in arizona.

the patient lives in temp pee recently returned from china the epicenter of the illness. worldwide 2700 cases confirmed. 08 beam have died. chinese nurse is blowing the whistle on twitter. she says 90,000 people are infected. that's 33 times what chinese officials are reporting. the mother and stepfather two of missing idaho children found in hawaii chad and lori day bell vanished after cops began asking questions about their missing kids. the pair who have been linked to a doomsday prepping group showed little emotion when confronted by a reporter. >> there is people around the country praying for your children and praying for you guys. why don't you give us answers? >> that's great. >> that's great? police are searching the hawaii home. joshua and 17-year-old tylee have not been seen since september. we will make history together. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu making

elizabeth warren? >> i don't think newspaper endorsements ever meant very much in presidential races, steve. but they mean even less now. last week the "new york times" endorsed elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar. they called warren a gifted story teller. [laughter] >> that's one way to tell it. and then yesterday the des moines register says she would treat truth as something that matters. where is the factual record for that statement at the des moines register? they said that she doesn't have these radical ideas. i don't know did they see the vape fro videotape with the forgive all student debt. i think he thinks it's a radical plan. her numbers have been cratering in iowa and elsewhere since the fall since people began to understand what medicare for all was about. if you read the editorial, steve, it's like they are living in a parallel universe. they say well, you know,

there is more to the stock market. there is more to the economy than just the health of the stock market and the unemployment numbers. well, maybe, but that's, you know, those are two pretty key indicators. the des moines register is on its -- you know, it's a ghost of its former self. they have a fifth of circulation they used. to say chain was sold to cost-cut are smaller chain. they had to move out of their headquarters downtown. steve: nonetheless, howie, they are the number one that paper this iowa. they threw their weight behind her. here is what they wrote about her and the economy. warren doesn't measure the health of the economy by looking at the stock market and unemployment rate that doesn't count long time jobless or chronically unemployed. she measures it by how working families are doing. many are not doing well. and warren seeks major reforms to help them. howie, it comes back to the whole question that ronald reagan, so effectively used back in the 1980s, that is are you better off today than you were four years

ago? and when donald trump eventually asked that, once he gets past this impeachment thing and is full bore on re-election, a lot of americans are going to say you know what i kind of feel like i'm doing better than i was four years ago there are obviously exceptions. >> the register said the economy is stacked against working people. the most in 50 years. that's exactly the opposite of the reality. i think the people see every day on the street and you certainly see it in the economic statistics. blue collar wages, the two lower piles of the economy are going up faster than the top quintile. detected from reality. the des moines register in the past among the democrats endorsed paul simon how did he do in 'will 8, bill bradfully 2,000. john edwards in 2008. hillary clinton -- excuse me john edwards in 2004 and

[laughter] ainsley: how do you feel? brian: sorry. steve: 1:00 take up impeachment with the justice of the supreme court presiding. figure out whether or not there are witnesses. dan bongino, fox news contributor, former secret service guy former new york

city cop. dan the breaking news is somehow the "new york times" got their hands on a copy of john bolton's manuscript turned into a book shortly march 17th available on amazon. apparently it says bolton was told trump wanted to continue freezing money to ukraine until they helped with probes of the bidens. but we heard him say in the transcript he wanted president zelensky to look into the bidens and what happened in 2016. so, is this a big, big, big story? >> [laughter] listen, this is like the biggest box of air popcorn you have ever seen. it's like you ordered something from amazon, a brand new computer and the box arrives and you are all excited and digging through the air popcorn and get to the bottom and find out you are looking at the both the box and there is no computer. there is nothing here. i can prove it to you. buried in this story in the "new york times'" own story

is a line that this conversation about holding up aid, which was paid out by the way legally before the deadline, a fact that will never change but, you know, gets in the way of adam schiff's stories. buried in the story it says oh, yeah, and this conversation happened right around the time president trump got back from this meeting. well, they leave the date out. well, steve, why do you think they would leave the date out? because they are the slime and they don't want entrepreneurial people like me to figure out that the date was august 18th. well, why is that significant? because the ukrainians didn't even find out for another, basically two weeks that the aid was bein even on hold. follow me here. this is some big huge pressure campaign against the ukrainians deliver on biden or no aid. and, yet, this conversation happened before the ukrainians even knew the aid was held up? do you know the "new york times" annihilated its own story and they just didn't expect that people would

actually read because some of their liberal readers, i guess they can't. but, yeah, it's a dumb story absolutely nothing here. brian: i'm not a lawyer. never tried a case. i imagine if you are the trump team, you have to put in to the scenario that the president was wanting an investigation into what happened with the bidens in 2016. that should be part of the explanation as opposed to the perfect call, i just wanted to root out corruption. so, it's a subtly. but do you believe, dan, too fuels those wh who say bolton wants to testify and if you didn't say anything you feel wrong to him do you think it's harder to rationalize not having him as a witness? >> listen, i'm going to throw it out there. testify to what? i brought this up with griff jenkins this weekend. i'm not kidding. testify to, what. brian: brian i will answer you. >> amuteable facts here. number one, the aid was delivered before the

september 30th deadline. that is a fact. it is a fact. number two, there's no crime here and not only that brian, there are no victims either. who's the victim? i asked griff in this weekend? oh, the ukrainians, really? can you produce a ukrainian who said they were pressured? there is no victims. if you can prove to me otherwise, i will come on the air tomorrow and correct myself. where are the ukrainian victims? the victims is there aren't any. and fact number three, i have got to do it again. here's the article about democrat collusion in ukraine. ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump backfire no. victims no, crime and the democrats' corruption in ukraine is real. produce a witness for what? what is bolton going to say what of those four things can he refute in the answer is none of it. ainsley: when you have someone who worked in the administration who sat, you know, next to the president, had close relationship with him and now he is saying that the president did do that isn't that going to force some of those

republicans on the fence to say hey, we need to hear from him? >> only if you are a weak-kneed wus for what? really, i'm not messing with you. what is he going to say? a witness to what? brian: you are right. i will answer you let me just answer you. dan, let me just answer you. >> senator portman, adding to your case, also said when he had a conversation in august with the president, late august, he said you are going to be happy with my decision because the senator wanted him to release the aid. what adam schiff's and not sure what bolton will say hey, did the president bring up 2020 and say biden is my big opponent i want to blow up? he wants to find out if bolton say yes, that it is that would be a problem. you are right about the xs and o's. didn't know it was denied. the foreign minister will say they didn't feel pressure. if john bolton wants to be the republican like bill kristol who wants to blow up the president, he would --

adam schiff and company want to give him the opportunity. >> no. and here's the short answer why -- we're talking about this and i get you guys are asking legitimate questions. please, don't take this as me being overtly hostile. the problem is you are asking these questions as if there is no consequence. bolton wants to talk. what's the big deal? he may have information. do you know what the big deal is? we impeach the president of the united states for nothing. for, what, a thought crime? you can't -- i'm a former investigator. i build cases in court. please tell me why. brian: believe mime i'm not saying impeachable. >> once you allow people to throw the impeachment process out the window and impeach for thought crimes. weak kneed republicans better start to recognize that nothing bolton adds to the conversation about a substantive crime no. substantive crime ever happened. none. ainsley: each the president tweeted about it and said read the transcript. read it again. >> it's right there. steve: ultimately, dan, the

curious thing about the "new york times" story is that it drops on the day before they start the full week of the impeachment when they decide on the witnesses. that's gotta be a coincidence. just happened that way. ainsley: and selling a book. >> everything is a coincidence. a whistleblower magically appears. a whistleblower, people from the nfc are working on adam schiff's staff. what a coincidence. adam schiff is like the modern day teddy russ skin. put a quarter in his back and tell. this is the next story. bolton has the keys to the kingdom. brian: president should take between lev and igor tapes out and people writing books about him. he has to do a better job vetting his staff to find out if they actually want to work for him or not or they actually want to leak out information about him. so he has to do a better job hiring people. >> draining the swamp. i don't disagree there. steve: have a good week. ainsley: thanks, dan. steve: jillian joins us and we have crazy video.

jillian: watch this. bizarre video of a man jumping on top of the car. leaning over looking in the window. at one point the driver dragging him downtown highway. police in vancouver claimed they identified everyone involved and will release details on the case today. but, a bizarre scene there 2020 hopeful buttigieg grilled by voters over his views on abortion during a fox news town hall. watch this. >> i am a proud pro-life democrat. so do you want the support of pro-life democrats? would you support more moderate platform language in the democratic party to ensure that the party of diversity of inclusion really does include everybody? >> the best i can offer is that if we can't agree on where to draw the line, the next best thing we can do is who should drawn the line. >> he did not answer the second part of my question. >> the former indiana mayor also fielding questions about his experience.

so-called whistleblower before the whistleblower filed his complaint. we know that schiff's staff gave the whistleblower direction. i want to know what direction. i want to know what they talked about. by the way, schiff lied about that. why did he? i think we ought to find that out. hunter biden. we need to hear from hunter biden. he is right at the center of this. what was he doing in ukraine? what was he doing with burisma? and probably joe biden? what did joe biden know when he asked the ukrainians to fire that prosecutor who was looking into hunter? brian: senator lindsey graham said this about the bidens witnesses on saturday. >> i'm more intent on ending this thing now with my vote. i know a lot of people on our side want to hear from hunter biden. i understand why. i think it's best for the country to vote on the record established. i really don't want to turn the trial into a circus. there is a way to look at hunt and joe biden outside of impeachment. brian: that's where he

stands. if there are witness you want to see the bidens? >> my view is if we are going to call witnesses, we need to call all of the witnesses who are material and relevant. and you can't tell me that adam schiff and his contacts with the whistleblower and we need to hear from the whistleblower, too. that is somebody who is directly relevant here. we need to know what he or she whoever it is, i don't know who it is, you know what? we are impeachment trial now. this is about overturning an election by the people of the united states and if we're going to call witnesses, the whistleblower needs to be put under oath and explain what he knew and when he knew it. brian: have you only been there a short time but more twist and turns in this story you could possibly predict. here is one of them. leaks on john bolton's manuscript is out. one of the things he said is president trump told bolton he wanted to continue freezing the $391 million of made security assistance ukraine help investigations into democrats including the bidens. how does that change anything? >> well, i know that the

there have been 80 deaths now and those numbers are a bit more concerning youngest 9-month-old, taking youngest and oldest which is what the viruses tend to do. also alarming. this is the big news today, the chinese leadership is starting to say this incubation period is a long longer than we thought. normally coronavirus. brian: wow. >> five days of virus spread before you know you are sick and stop talking to other people. this new coronavirus in china it seems like for two weeks you have a pro-drum but you can be contagious even before you know you are sick. and that takes a lot of the rules we use to protect each other like don't sit next to people who are ill and look for temperatures at the airport. officials are debating that this that would change the infectious nature of this. once you got the virus you do seem to inpenalty for people than usual. steve: abulbasher of in summers ago when we were all worried about the ebola. the ebola, if you got ebola, you were really, really sick.

probably never get worse than the flu we have today. brian: if this happened in spain or france, still very serious. but it is happening in the secretive society where candor goes -- is secondary and we are seeing clues that this is so much worse. you are making pop-up hospitals. you cordoned off an entire city. these city residents are restless. what do you mean i can't leave you? are telling 40 million people they can't go anywhere. they are having trouble getting their arms around it. i don't think we truly understand what is happening in china. >> compared to what happened with sars in 2002 that was a whole different world. then we truly didn't know what was happening. purposefully kept away from the truth. the world health organization and the president is applauding that the chinese government is trying to be transparent. to your point when you cordoned off 40 million people we don't know. people left wuhan before it started. i want to you can't keep this a secret. the world communities of scientists chip in and try

to develop solutions. brian: i saw that video of dead bodies, seemingly dead bodies in a hospital just laying with sheets over them on the floor and that is people saying essentially not that woman you see her desperate, hey, world, this is really bad. and the markets are responding. this are down 300 points. >> true economic impact will be $50 billion. that t. was that with sars. no reason it wouldn't match it today. building pop-up hospitals in wuhan. best thing to do build ers equipped. that way they aren't panicked running towards each other or run away from the area. steve: each individual to minimize the chances. >> true for coronavirus and the regular old flu virus wash your hands. we touch our face thousands of times a day. sounds like simple, washing your hands is your treatment it. is your vaccine basically and it's free. you own it. wash them. ainsley: should we buy any products like masks. >> i wouldn't buy masks.

quo, we're not going to give you this money unless you investigate the bidens. >> yes. well, as the president tweeted last night. that's just not true. actually, ainsley, i would say that i agree with you. i think the timing of this is very, very suspect. you know, our team just went on saturday and in two hours and did all of the hours and hours in 24 hours that the dems did in the senate trial. it's very clear the president did nothing wrong. suddenly, this manuscript has magically appeared in the hands of the "new york times" making very, very big claims. this is why a publisher, the same publisher that comey used, also. the fact that magically, again, the book ordering online preorder link popped up a couple hours after all of this hit it's sad but the time something very suspect. again, as the president said, that's just not true. the president did nothing wrong. and we stand by exactly what we have been saying all along and exactly what the transcripts has been showing all along. steve: right. of course, it was on

december 30th that bolton september the transcript for the national security council for review. obviously i would imagine the white house could snip out any part they wanted to. do you know anything about that? any upcoming edits that might happen? >> no. that is something that we have kept walled off for obvious reasons. could be a conflict with the trial going on. nothing that i have seen and nothing that i know about in terms of what they would remove for national security. now, i don't know if they have done anything, if they have made any edits yet for the national security and if there is any classified information out there. but, if there is, it's very, very dangerous precedent to set once again. steve: no kidding. brian: according to the excerpts in this book john bolton a contributor here upstanding and candid. steve: was a contributor. brian: but he also says that rudy giuliani may be working for personal business in the ukraine. would that change -- would

the president know anything about that and would that change his opinion of rudy giuliani if that would be the case? >> i haven't talked to the president about that. and that's a lot of speculation. i don't know if that's the case and i don't know how the president would feel about it. the president has said many times that rudy giuliani has been working in his capacity as the president's personal attorney. so i think you would have to ask him, giuliani, a little more about that. steve: well, the president was tweeting yesterday. he tweeted this out, stephanie. i'm sure you are familiar shifty adam schiff is a corrupt politician and probably a very sick man. he has not paid the price yet for what he has done to our country. adam schiff didn't like that paid the price thing. he said this on meet the press. >> i don't think it was personal to refer to the cbs story. what may be personal though and i think i have to be very candid about this, is i made the argument that it's

going to require moral courage to stand up to this president. and this is a irrational and vicodinive president. i don't think there is any doubt about it. look at the president's tweets about me today saying i should pay a price. steve: stephanie, what does that mean? he will pay a price at the ballot box or what? >> yeah. i think schiff has shockingly thin skin if he thinks that was any kind of a threat from the president of the united states. i just said this yesterday. yes, i believe it means there will be consequences with the american people and at the ballot box. talking about standing up for moral reasons to the president, that doesn't equate with impeachment. that doesn't equate with any crimes. you don't impeach a president because you disagree with him morally or via policy. so i think he has some thin skin there i think he was grandstanding once again and playing the pity card that he just got threatened by the president. i think people see through that. brian: lastly, the stunning news yesterday the president tweeted about almost immediately and the passing

of kobe bryant the age of 41 in a helicopter crash along with seven, eight others. one of which was his 13-year-old daughter. the white house response today, is there anything that's going to be going on at the white house to commemorate his life? >> you know, i will say that on behalf, again, of the president and first lady, both of them tweeted about it and the entire administration. it is a horrible tragedy and our thoughts and prayers go out to the bryant family and the family of the others who were lost, the pilot, any of the families there. horrible, horrible tragic and we just hope that people can take some time to let the families grieve and not make this too much of a media circus. brian: right. also, the president is going to be meeting with benjamin netanyahu as well as his primary opponent. what are we going to see the middle east peace plan. >> yes. he is going to meet with both of them today. this is quite literally one of the biggest problems to take on in the entire world. here we have got a president who is not afraid to do it and already, i think, gone farther than any other administration to make this

happen. i'm not going to get ahead of anything that may or may not happen. i think the fact that they are both going to be here and he is going to meet with both of them is huge news and big kudos to the president for all that he has done here. ainsley: thank you, stephanie for being with us. >> thank you. steve: it is exactly 16 minutes before the top of the hour. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. jillian: begin with this story. alabama police officer is fighting for his life after he was shot trying to stop a robbery. birmingham police say detective john was shot two times responding to a call near the church where he was working security. two suspects are in custody, including a 16-year-old who is believed to be the shooter. he underwent surgery and is in critical condition. he has been with the department since 2005. a pennsylvania man who faked being a veteran is behind bars for stealing thousands from the american legion. scranton police say christopher crawford spent nearly $17,000 of legion money on personal trips and ubers. crawford telling the legion

football field, and two olympic golds, five nba championships and a legacy that will live for decades. kobe died saturday or rather sunday in a helicopter crash along with his daughter 13-year-oldgianna, a pilot and six others. raised in italy, high school in philadelphia he joined the lakers at 17 and became an instant star. >> i want people to think of me as a talented overachiever. i was blessed with talent and worked as i had none and if i could be remembered that way that be perfect. reporter: he embraced the city and fans loved him for it. evident as flowers and tributes, jerseys and candles surround the sports center and the mamba sports center, where he hoped to return to the tournament on sunday so the chopper took of from orange county at 9:00 a.m. near bryant 's home and crashed 40

minutes later in the santa monica mountains with no survivors. built in 1991 the sikorsk y 71 had no prior incidents operated by a reputable local company flown by an experienced pilot according to sources and now a witness heard the chopper flying low and its engine struggling, moments later he saw it vanish in the fog, heard the crash and saw a fireball. weather could be one factor with a heavy marine layer on sunday, though this helicopter was rated to fly in zero visibility, faa, ntsb will investigate other possibilities, mechanical, pilot error, a bird or drone strike because it was flying so low. >> we do know there was an issue of visibility and a low ceiling. the actual conditions at the time of impact that is still yet to be determined. we had none operating in the area at the time.

because of the weather. reporter: after leaving basketball bryant wrote a poem called "dear basketball" which won an oscar in 2018 for a short animated film. >> i'll always love you for it. my heart can take the pounding and my mind can handle the grind , but my body knows it's time to say goodbye, and that's okay. i'm ready to let you go. reporter: also confirmed dead, 56-year-old orange coast college baseball legend johnantibello, his 13-year-old daughter alyssa and wife. the coroner was working on the identities of the other four fatalities. steve? steve: thank you very much. they're having trouble getting to that particular site of the crash. the new york post this morning is reporting that apparently, the pilot was warned on the radio he was flying

dangerously low before the crash at they say 185 miles per hour. apparently, flight tower audio reveals the pilot told them, " two echo ray, the id, you're still too low for flight following at this time" and apparently shortly before the crash, according to the flight data that they've got so far, the pilot climbed to 2,000 feet, and then flew into the mountain at 1,700 feet. ainsley: and there's no word why there weren't two pilots on this helicopter. normally it's a large helicopter obviously with so many people on board. normally they have two engines and two pilots. brian: meanwhile at four minutes after the hour there's so many different facets to the story first and foremost he's no longer with us for jim grey, he isn't just a sports icon, he was a friend and he was -- steve: he met him when he was two months old. brian: and his entire life and he also said he was extremely loyal to him and he got the last interview or the first interview after he officially retired after scoring 60 points

in his final game and he remembered his friend. >> you know, i'm just going to remember him as the professional, the guy who wanted the most and demanded the most out of himself and others. he was hard-charging. he was committed to excellence unlike any athlete that i know, and i've been involved in sports for 40 years and there's some great athletes, floyd mayweather , muhammad ali, tom brady, michael jordan, but this guy was so so committed to two things. he wanted to win, and he was committed to excellence. he didn't care about money. he didn't care about glory. he didn't care about fame. he was not driven by any of that it's sad. i mean, everybody who cared aboutkobe, we spent a lot of time crying the last 24 hours, and we shared a lot of great moments, and he took me personal ly on a wonderful ride. steve: the world is stunned. ainsley: tiger woods was playing

golf yesterday and when he got off the 18, that's when hiscadd y told him what had happened and he said that make sense why so many people are yelling "do it for mamba" which was his nickname. he said i will remember him for his fire and his desire to win on the basketball court and he said he brought it, every single night. brian: right and he saw a lot of himself in his daughter and his daughter wanted to walk in his footsteps and word is she was obsessed with the most successful program in women's sports history and that is the u conn basketball team because that's where she wanted to go andkobe became a huge, especially since he has four daughters a huge fan of the wnba , a big supporter of women's and girls basketball in fact he was flying to a tournament for an academy named after him, and he was very interested not only in his daughter but the entire league that he was involved the so-called academy and the tournament he was supposed to play and when word came out, everyone expected to play

against kobe's team, everybody was just stunned and all canceled. ainsley: and jim was telling us his baby his seven month old, the oldest child was what 16? steve: uh-huh. ainsley: this one of their middle daughters. steve: it is a terrible tragedy and something everybody around the world is talking about. ainsley: i can't imagine how their family is feeling. brian: seven minutes after the hour. meanwhile, president trump's legal team as we get back to impeachment talk will resume their impeachment defense today. steve: after a day off yesterday and some senators going home, it comes to some democrats ramp up calls to call john bolton who suddenly is the lead story in the new york times to testify. ainsley: mark meredith is live on capitol hill as pre-orders for john bolton's book began on amazon. a coincidence, mark? reporter: i guess we'll have to find out to read between the lines there but as you mentioned lawmakers are getting back to work a couple hours from now for the president's impeachment trial. they did have a one-daybreak on sunday but it'll be really interesting to see what happens next amid the controversy as

you're talking about revolving around the former national security advisor john bolton. the new york times first reported on sunday that bolton will be claiming in that upcoming book you were just talk about ainsley that president trump had told him the reason he was delaying sending money to ukraine was because he wanted the country to investigate democrats including joe biden. the president' defense team said the president was most interested in rooting out corruption in the ukraine and the president himself was actually saying he had nothing to do with bolton's claims he's denied them overnight and put out a tweet around midnight and wrote i never told john bolton that the aid to ukraine was tied to investigations to the democrats including the bidens in fact he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. if john bolton said this it was only to sell a book. that was the president on twitter. now, of course it's up to the senators who are serving as jurors in the impeachment trial to decide who they want to believe. democrats have been demanding that bolton should testify, they will immediate a majority of senators though to agree to

compel that additional testimony it's unclear whether or not the bolton news will create the incentive for any other republicans to decide if they want to support seeing additional witnesses come forward. we've heard from a number of republicans that said they don't believe that will be necessary as we've talked about though it'll be the president' defense team on the senate floor today. they did tell us over the weekend they expect their floor time to be shorter than what we saw from democrats last week that was by design they wanted their arguments to be shorter from what we saw. guys back to you. steve: mark thank you very much and you've got to figure what mr. bolton says and is quoted in his manuscript that somehow got leaked to the new york times will be part of what they say but then again you've got to look at the timing because this story dropped the day before the president's team starts in earnest their full defense of the president, but as ainsley pointed out earlier, it's also the same day that the book started being sold out there online like amazon, and

stephanie grisham said this about the timing. reporter: i think the timing of all of this is very very suspect you know, our team just went on saturday and in two hours and did all of the hours in 24 hours that the dems did in the senate trial and it's very clear the president did nothing wrong. you don't impeach a president because you disagree with shim morally or via policy. we stand by exactly what we've been saying all along and exactly what the transcript has been showing all along. brian: it's kind of interesting too these two guys that rudy giuliani brought into the president to provide information, i guess, about ukraine. they get arrested on unrelated campaign finance issues, really? and then one, decides to tape eg or, the guy that keeps his mouth shut release a tape of the conversation with the president? who the heck would sit there and tape the president unless you had alterior motives and then

this lev parness is calling 1- 800-andersoncooper to start saying his version of what happened. it's amazing the forces that work against the president. steve: try that. ainsley: the president he responds when someone hits him he hits back and he made up a few good points in his tweet last night but he basically said you can read the transcript, the president of ukraine stands by my story too, and he said they eventually got their money, and he said he thinks that this is just so bolton can sell books and he said why didn't bolton say this when we parted ways? steve: sure anyway so the democrats will say see? that's why we've got to have witnesses and they will probably get around to that on wednesday or thursday. probably on thursday after the written questions. meanwhile fox news poll came out , and the question was have you seen enough? and 48% say already have enough information. 44% say they would like to have more witness testimony.

i do believe that poll was conducted before, obviously, the bolton news dropped in the new york times. brian: also the poll does reveal that 50-44 the american people want the president removed from office. sounds like the exact election breakdown. ainsley: there's another fox news poll that shows that joe biden is not polling as well as bernie is now. we'll have to see. brian: bernie is hot but has all of those great socialist programs we can't afford. steve: apparently they are exciting the people of iowa. brian: i'll be forced to give up my trillion dollars to balance the budget. ainsley: [laughter] steve: anyway what's going on with kobe bryant and other news, but jillian joins us with a fox news alert. there's more. >> jillian: that's right good morning, a race to find seven people missing as a dock goes up in flames and destroys 35 house boats in alabama. take a look at that fire engulf ing several boats in the

northern part of the state. the local fire chief says people have died but isn't sure at this point how many we do know seven people are hurt. >> also breaking right now a plane crashing in a taliban- controlled area of afghanistan overnight. the u.s. military says it is now investigating the crash but didn't say why. local officials say the plane is a boeing that belonged to an afghan airline however the airline ceo says all of their planes are accounted for. no word yet on a cause, or how many people were on board. we will keep you updated with new information in the meantime, there's this. a rocket attack targeting the u.s. embassy in baghdad ends with one striking a cafeteria. at least one embassy personnel member was reportedly injured. there are reports as many as five rockets landed near the embassy in the so-called green zone in baghdad, while it's unclear who was responsible for the attack, a former iraqi deputy prime minister blamed the on an unruly malitia backed by iran. >> and as you can imagine there were fixed emotions at the 62nd

because it doesn't alter in any way the fundamental facts, the facts that have been clear from the get-go the idea that we have the transcript, there was no quid pro quo in the transcript, the idea that both individuals on the call president trump have repeatedly said there was no linkage, there was no pressure, no linkage between security assistance dollars and any type of investigation, and you have the fundamental fact that the ukrainians didn't know aid was held at the time of the call , and most importantly, they took no action. they didn't start an investigation, promise to start an investigation, or make any announcements that they were going to do an investigation, and they got the security assistance money so no amount of new york times reporting on some speculation from some unnamed source is going to change the fundamental facts. ainsley: what is going on with john bolton? what is their relationship like? why would he do this? he works for the president. is he telling the truth or do you think he's doing this like the president said he's doing this just to sell books? >> well what we do know is that when he, john bolton, met with president on august 27, linking of dollars security assistance

dollars in any type of investigation never came up. we had all kinds of witnesses testify to that meeting that took place, so we do know that, so this coming out of this late hour is kind of typical new from the democrats, remember during the house investigation we had this mr. holmes all of a sudden remember some conversation, that he overheard at a restaurant where they were talking to the president. even though his boss, ambassador taylor, mr. holmes had told mr. taylor about this conversation, mr. taylor never testified to it but suddenly the last week, right before we get done with hearings in the house, mr. holmes remembered this and the democrat s bring him into testify and it changed nothing because it didn't alter those four fundamental facts. steve: and at 1:00 this afternoon, the president's legal defense team is going to go to the well of the senate, and start in earnest, the big part of the president' defense. of course last week, congressman , we heard from a number of democrats, house managers, that they've got to remove this president

immediately so that he didn't rig the next election, the essentially the election interference and yet on saturday , during their abbreviateed presentation, the president's attorney said that the democrats are trying to people etrait the most massive interference on an election in american history. so he took their argument and he turned it completely around. what are you talking about? you're doing it to this guy. >> yeah, i thought pat was very effective in saying you're doing the very thing you're accusing the president of doing and trying to remove a president from the ballot from office less than 10 months before the next election. let the american people decide. i think what we really saw saturday is we saw two hours of the truth and two hours of the truth beats the 20 hours of presumptions, assumptions and hearsay, that the democrats brought to the country all last week so you'll hear more of the truth from the president's legal team today and tomorrow and then get to the questions and then i think we have a vote and the president is acquitted and we can get on with doing the

business of the american people. ainsley: so you don't think witnesses? >> i do not. not based on all of the assumptions, presumptions and hearsay, and some anonymous source telling the new york times about some draft manuscript when the facts never changed. steve: that means the state of the union will probably be next tuesday. >> definitely will be next tuesday and the president will do another great job as he's done in the previous state of the unions. steve: jim jordan, thank you, sir. ainsley: thanks, congressman. >> you bet thank you guys. ainsley: the coronavirus is spreading across the globe, five cases confirmed here in the u.s. we have a live report outside of chicago where one woman was just diagnosed. and the sports world in shock today nba legend kobe bryant killed in that helicopter crash yesterday, along with his 13-year-old daughter. former teammates and thousands of fans are paying tribute to one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness...

steve: travelers are on high alert this morning as the deadly coronavirus spreading rapidly around the globe, five cases have been confirmed here in the united states as health fors race to try to figure out what is going on with it, and control it. ainsley: gradytrimbul joins us

live from outside of chicago where a woman was just diagnosed grady, everyone is talking about this story, we're all a little worried. reporter: yes, everyone is and the woman being treated here is in isolation, we're told she's in good condition after contract ing the virus while traveling just as the four other u.s. patients did as well, and this comes as officials in china are trying to contain the rapidly-spreading coronavirus. the latest numbers are that nearly 3,000 cases have been confirmed largely around wuhan, but that number is expected to rise overnight the death toll also rising to 81 and the head of the world health organization is making his way to china to help with the containment efforts. as far as the cases in the u.s. there are five right now none contracted here. two of those in california and one in arizona, were confirmed over the weekend in addition to the one here and the first known case in the u.s. in washington state. in wuhan the government is rapidly working to build a new hospital in a matter of days and

everyone in the city is required to stay there, quarantined in an attempt to contain the virus , but earlier this morning explaining why containing the virus might be difficult. >> this new coronavirus in china, it seems like for two weeks you've got a pro-drome, but you could be contagious before you're sick but that changes the infectious nature of this and once you got the virus you do seem to effect more people than usual. reporter: and the virus even expecting impacting the stock market this morning. the dow is expected to open significantly down as investors worry about the spread of this virus and fears have hit chicago as well particularly in chinatown, where at least as of last week, the local walgreens in chinatown, had sold out of surgical masks. guys? steve: gradytrimble, live in the chicago area, thank you very much. ainsley: brian over to you. brian: the biggest story in the world right now, and the

sports world specifically, is the loss of kobe bryant. fans around the world are in shock and sorrow over his death. thousands gathering outside his home, the los angeles lakers i should say his second home is actually staples center. they showed their respects last night. >> [chanting] kobe,kobe, kobe. brian: the 41-year-old former laker and his 13-year-old daughter were among nine people on board a helicopter that crashed outside los angeles yesterday. they are still having trouble getting to the debris field. kobe bryant is one of the greatest players of all-time , 18 time all-star, five championships two olympic medals and joining us to react, to put it in perspective like he does on a daily basis, co-host of " speak for yourself" jasonwhit lock. jason how do you process this? >> well listen, i compare kobe 's death and stick with me

here, to pat tillman's death the former nfl player who joined i think the u.s. marines and died in combat, servicing his country, and how i compare that to kobe is i think there's really two really honorable ways to die and to have emotion from americans and other citizens. in service to your country and in service to your family. kobe bryant wasn't on a helicopter headed to las vegas to party or to play golf or to do some basketball camp for nba players. he was on a helicopter with his 13-year-old daughter to go coach other 13-year-old kids. that's something i think a lot of parents, even if you're not into sports, even if you'd never watched kobe bryant play, parent s can relate to that running around with your child, being in service to your child, trying to push your child farther than you made it and being a full participant in their life, i think that has what has captured the emotion of this country, and why so many

people have such an outpouring of emotion for kobe bryant. i was not a huge kobe bryant fan i was kind of known as a kobe bryant critic. last week on my show, i started talking about kobe's passion for his daughters, passion for women's sports, his passion to be a better person than he had been earlier in his life, and talking about how much i love this new kobe bryant and here we are just a few days later. he dies taking his 13-year-old daughter to a basketball game. it was hard for me to sleep last night i think for hard core basketball fans and basketball players. it's just a very sad day. brian: it is and on the plane is other teammates, other player s and their families, and we'll learn more about the details of the crash but for now let's talk about kobe and his family. he talked about his daughter on a late night appearance. i think this plays to your point >> do you think your daughter

might want to play in the wnba? >> she does for sure. i mean this kid, man. >> [applause] >> the best thing that happens when we go out and fans come up to me and she's standing next to me and they are like you've got to have a boy. you have to have a boy and somebody carry on the tradition. the legacy and she's like i've got this! >> [laughter] >> i've got this! >> like that's right. yes you do you've got this. brian: he formed a kids academy and you also told me something in the break that you said the nba is known for great athleticism but that's not what kobe was about. what do you mean? >> well listen, kobe was known for mimicking michael jordan. he was never the athlete michael was. he was close but he was not the athlete michael jordan was and how kobe made up the difference was with his mind i think he's going to go down in history as the smartest basketball player we've ever seen, his mental approach, his

wholemamba mentality and just having that leave everything on the court. the guy shot two free throws on a torn achilles and then left to go do a year's repack. kobe had a never give up mentality and his mental edge over every opponent he faced is what made him the closest thing we've seen to michael jordan, put him on the same level as michael jordan. he's the smartest basketball player, and perhaps the smartest athlete we've ever seen. brian: who worked the hardest and got the most out of all of the legends it wasn't to say sign this. it's like tell me what made you great and that's what jerry west was able to pull out of him and saw in him and we saw that over and over again. he spoke three languages, extremely bright. >> i think he spoke seven languages. brian: wow. well, i'm still working on one. jason, thanks for putting it all in perspective and i look forward to catching up to you at the super bowl. >> thank you for having me. brian: we'll be right back. we made usaa insurance for members like martin.

>> ♪ ♪ steve: starting the week in new york we're going to end the week in miami at the super bowl and kind of a chilly start to the day. thank you very much for joining us. ainsley: hard to believe that's this week already here. brian: i have to take the sleeves off all my suits because i don't want to be sweat ing. steve: make sure to put them back on in a week. ainsley: it's a little chilly. they said it's a little chilly down in florida. brian: i don't want to catch a cold. steve: meanwhile i have a feeling somebody down in florida already is mike huckabee, fox news contributor and form former governor of arkansas and today he joins us from little rock. okay. hey, governor good morning to

you: >> good morning and i'm really feeling sorry for you guys having to go to the super bowl and suffer for the network. enjoy yourselves. ainsley: it'll be a lot of fun. steve: governor what do you make of the facts that just about 18 hours before the senate reconvenes to listen to the president' defense team make their arguments why he should be acquitted the new york times drops a story that says apparently john bolton says yes, i was in the room and i heard president say cut off the aid until he investigates the bidens what do you make of all of this? >> well the timing is just a little bit too cute and i'm sure there was nothing coordinated. steve: nothing. >> between the publishing the book and the pre-sales and the fact that the new york times which can't find real news, if they tried, they always seem to find these leaks, they ought to open a plumbing business because nobody is better at leaks than

the new york slimes as i like to call them after a long time. you know the fact is that this is more about book sales than it is about getting to the truth. the president has been very transparent very clear about what he said when he said it and to whom he said it, and i don't think there's any big revelations coming out and the fact is the ukrainians got the money they wanted they got a heck of a lot more than they got from the previous administration who gave them blankets and mre's that was all they ever got. i'm not sure what the fuss is about. i just have to believe that this is a lot of manufactured crisis as some democrats might use the term. ainsley: do you think it's going to change anything because over the weekend i heard a lot of republicans on some of the shows say that the republicans don't have, we have enough votes where we're not going to call witnesses, this thing is over with this week. then this news breaks last night the president's tweeting about it. do you think it'll change anything? will lisa murkowski and susan collins will they have to say do you know what? maybe we do need to hear from

bolton now. >> the problem with hearing from bolton is not so much about what he says but the fact he was at the highest level of national security. people need to remember that the issue of having whether it's john bolton or mick mulvaney, the president has a right to have the inner circle of his brain trust around him without the fear that the other branch of government is going to come in and pry information out of him which would in the corporate world be proprietary, but in this sense, it's still about executive privilege and i know that offends some people when they say executive privilege. so it's a cover-up. no. it's not protecting president trump but it's protecting the institution of the presidency, no matter whose president, so that president, future, whenever, will be able to talk with his senior aids without fearing that it's going to be printed in the new york times and if anybody is leaking information, be it john bolton or others, i think that's an integrity issue for them. you don't go out and tell what you know if you've been put in

an entrusted position. it's just an important matter of national security and executive privilege and every president, i don't care who he is, has the right to have that. brian: governor i'm just saying this is a scenario out there and it's most likely they put it through the national security process to get it vetted for intelligence reasons about what could appear in the book and somewhere along the process someone said oh, this would probably be effective against the president. i'm going to let it out and that's where the bolton people said something is corrupt in the process which means there's somebody else in the administration that has it out for the president, so it's working for the president. >> i think one of the most disgusting and frankly dishonor able things that has happened to this president has been people who are willing to take a paycheck from him, but could not be loyal and in fact were doing everything they can to undermine him whether it's some whistleblower held over from the previous administration , who was actually working to undermine this president's agenda.

that is dishonorable. it's dishonest and disgusting, and people like that shouldn't be listen to. steve: mike before you go, back in 2008 you won the iowa caucus es. they are one week from today. bernie sanders way ahead in three polls out of iowa. what do you see happening? >> you know, bernie occupies a unique lane. i think he has a real shot at winning it and this close to it, it's possible somebody else could break loose, but with all of the other news going on, it doesn't appear that anybody has some momentum that is suddenly gaining, and there's a real shot bernie sanders could win, because the rest of the democrat candidates are sort of splitting what you might call the traditional democrat lane, even though it's more left than its ever been, so if bernie wins , democrats have got a real issue on their hands, a guy who doesn't claim to be a democrat who is now in the frontrunner position, of their own party. how about that for something to talk about? steve: something to talk about we just ran some of the review in 2008.

chuck norris was behind you. >> yes he was. no wonder i won the iowa caucus es and a bunch of other states that year. brian: thanks governor. ainsley: thank you, governor. good to talk to you. brian: by the way he's way ahead in new hampshire too, bernie, super tuesday he will be in a good spot. ainsley: he rallies are big. let's hand it over to jillian. >> reporter: let's get you caught up on the story. a mother and step-father found in hawaii. chad and laurie daybell vanished in november after police began asking questions about the missing kids. the pair have been linked to a prepping group showed little emotion when confronted by a reporter. listen to this. >> there's people around the country praying for your children. praying for you guys, why don't you give us answers? >> that's great. reporter: police are searching the couple's hawaii home. the seven-year-old and 17- year-old have not been seen since september. >> hundreds of amazon workers are blasting the company's climate control record risking

their jobs, 357 employees signing a post slamming the company for its carbon footprint and threats to fire those who speak out, one worker writing, "amazon the earth is our only home, spends more money on fighting climate change than on space exploration." amazon insists it does care about climate change and has pledged to be carbon-neutral by 2040 and use 100% renewable energy by 2030. >> well, as you know, trash talking is just part of the game sometimes. >> watch it, jerk! >> shut up, idiot. reporter: even grown men are not afraid of hurling insults so the coaching staff for this years super bowl teams are concerned about players getting into verbal spouts, according to bleacher reports and the 49ers and chiefs are both now in miami looking ahead to sunday's big game and you can see the super bowl only on fox and kickoff is at 6:30 eastern time and fox & friends will be

there live in miami starting friday. i mean trash talk is always part of the game. steve: right. brian: only part of our game on the break. thank you very much. ainsley: janice dean, she's live with the forecast outside. >> janice: i'm outside keeping you guys posted here, we were inside earlier and let's take a look here what's your name, my friend? >> brod y. >> where you from? >> florida. >> how many others are from florida? you know we're going to the super bowl you're all invited let's take a look at the maps beautiful day in new york city. we do have the potential for some lake effect snow across the great lakes, and some shower s and thunderstorms across the southeast and the mid- atlantic next storm system moves in from the west with heavy rain along the coast and mountain snow for the northwest into the cascades, the central u.s. as well. here is your super bowl forecast , we're all going on thursday, friday, saturday into the super bowl saturday is the greatest chance for some rain. we'll keep you posted but the actual game on sunday looks fantastic. just come over and take a look

at, and what's your sister's name? >> adalaine. >> hi, sweetie. we love you thank you for coming to fox & friends. ainsley: little one. steve: i saw it. meanwhile, senator and juror joins us next, before today's impeachment trial starts at 1:00 ainsley: but first let's check in with sandra smith to find out what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning, the world remembers nba super star kobe bryant this morning the sports icon and his daughter passing away in that helicopter crash yesterday so what we are now learning about that this morning , and what we're learning about the other victims on board. plus, the impeachment drama continues on capitol hill, lindsey graham and doug collins are here to look ahead at a brand new week, and the coronavirus is spreading what you need to know now, join ed and me live from america's news room monday morning. be hon, quitting smoking is freaking hard.

like quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so, try making it smaller. and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small... ...can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette at walgreens, we love smart savers.

steve: well all eyes will be on capitol hill in a couple of hours, president trump's legal team is going to ramp up their defense in the impeachment trial for a full day, rather than two days like a saturday. ainsley: so what can we expect? texas gop senator john cornan

joins us live, good morning to you, senator. what does the week look like? >> well, i think we're going to hear from more of the president 's team today. i understand that professor alan dershowitz is going to talk about why he thinks the evidence does not rise to the standard of treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors and talk about the fact that this be the first time a president be impeached without alleging that he committed any crime, so we have a non-crime for events that never actually occurred, for example, the aid did flow and the investigation, they've been talking about never did occur, so this is really a unique thing. brian: senator the other thing is a lot of people are speculat ing today is the day you try to lay out the argument that the president had a reason to worry about the ukraine 2016, because stuff that happened there, and had a reason to be curious about the bidens role, will we hear to the best of your understanding, the trump team talk about the mystery around

hunter biden and joe biden? >> well i think we've heard from the impeachment managers they think the russians were very active spinning disinformation and propaganda particularly about ukraine's role and the truth is that it's one big very confusing mess, so i wouldn't be surprised that if there's propaganda or disinformation efforts behind all of this too. it's kind of hard to know and i'm looking forward to the president's team clarifying that for us. steve: senator i'm sure we'll hear from the president's team talk about the john bolton revelations that dropped just as his book did on amazon. >> yeah, the timing is a little interesting, isn't it? but the best i can tell from what's reported in the new york times is it's nothing different than what we've already heard, and as i said, no crimes were alleged in these events never actually occurred, the withholding of aid, and the investigation, so i'm trying to get my head around exactly what is the impeachment manager 's theory of the case, and why they should provoke this

constitutional crisis. brian: senator always great to have you on appreciate it. ainsley: wish you the best, thank you. steve: stepping aside, back in two minutes. - [spokeswoman] meet the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the pressure cooker that crisps. and my side super soft? yes. with the sleep number 360 smart bed, on sale now, you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. can it help me fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable.
