his weekend in mar-a-lago as lawmakers brace for a busy week in washington. the senate impeachment trial will resume monday afternoon, while trump is set to head to congress tuesday to deliver the state of the union. welcome to america's news headquarters. we head west to palm beach or down to west palm beach where kevin cork has more about the president's agenda. kevin. >> reporter: its is a very good chance that the president trump will spend part of the weekend here. the president will obviously spend part of his time here, preparing his speech. all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, so the president tweeted this early this morning. he said he was getting out there on the links and getting a little exercise this morning. as for the speech itself, the theme will be the great american

comeback. the president we are told will lay out his vision of relentless optimism. and including topics such as the blue collar boom, supporting working families, lowering the cost of health care, safe and legal immigration, and of course protecting national security. but trace, over on capitol hill, the rancor does continue. speaker nancy pelosi says this on twitter, it's a sad day for america to see senator mcconnell houme milmcconsistent- mcconnell humiliate the supreme court justice of the united states. one more note, i want to pass along to you while we have a moment. you may have seen a tweet on the president's twitter feed. it was actually a he retweet about the possible death of a top al-qaida lea leader. we have not confirmed the death is accurate but the president

did retweet it so i thought that might be interesting and perhaps even a tip, the name of this particular leader is -- just want to make sure i have it here. qasim al-raymi. we'll keep watching that and see if i can get confirmation for you. >> jennifer griffin also working on that. kevin, thank you. as lawmakers prepare for the next phase in the impeachment trial, senate democrats are blasting republicans with minority leader chuck schumer saying, quote, an acquital is meaningless without new witnesses. lucas tomlinson breaks it down. >> reporter: chuck schumer is outraged over the republicans vote to block any new witnesses from appearing. mitch mcconnell said house democratic managers had every opportunity to make their case. he said never have they paused an impeachment trial to go after additional witnesses. we have no interest in establishing such a new

precedent, particularly for whom individuals the house expressly chose not to pursue. chuck schumer thinks the impeachment trial is now a sham trial. >> to not allow a witness a document, no witnesses, no documents, in an impeachment trial, is a perfity, it's a grand tragedy. >> reporter: the senate narrowly rejected the motion to you call additional witnesses. only two republican senators defected, mitt romney and susan collins. democrats hoped to flip senator lisa murkowski and other republicans like rob portman who explained his vote. he says he believes some of the actions were wrong and inappropriate but he does not believe the actions rise to the level of taking him out of office. here's what the schedule looks like next week. monday, 11:00 a.m., closing arrestingmentarguments in the s. at 3:00 p.m., senators will

deliver individual remarks on the floor and on tuesday they will spend all day speaking on the floor. wednesday, senators make their final remarks and 4:00 p.m. the court of impeachment reconvenes with chief justice roberts presiding over the historic vote on the two articles of impeachment. the democrats needed four votes to bring witnesses forward, but they only received two. that gave democratic candidates a chance to head back to iowa before the iowa caucuses on monday. >> lucas, thank you. joining me now to discuss the lee l fall aspects of -- legal aspects of the impeachment trial and the precedent being set is attorney and constitutional law expert ken belkin. as a constitutional law expert you have got to bees fascinated by the chief justice, john roberts, saying he would not break the tie. i want you to listen of to the chief justice and i'll get your response on the other side. >> if the members of this body elected by the people and

accountable to them divide equally on a motion, the normal rule is that the motion fails. i think it would be inappropriate for me, an unhe'll lengthed of usual -- unelected official to assert the power to change that result so the motion would succeed. >> your thoughts on that? >> my thoughts are simple. there's only one case you can look towards, and that's andrew johnson's impeachment. the chief justice at the time, he did vote to break ties on certain issues. but they were procedural issues, adjournments, scheduling conflicts, things of that and-a-half. it's not appropriate for the judge here to impinge on the jury's role by adding his vote on substantive issues. the senators are the jurors. they are the ones who have heard the arguments thus r far. they are the ones that render the final verdict. >> i know you said you were against having witnesses as well. if the democrats could go back and rewind the clock about 45

days, do you think they would take a do-over and actually call witnesses that they wanted while they had the chance? >> no, i don't think so. i don't think this has ever been about getting to the truth because the truth is, the articles of impeachment they brought forward are deeply flawed. they don't rise to the constitutional burden of treason, bribery or other high crimes misdemeanors. abuse of power, not a crime, obstruction of congress, technically a crime but not in this instance. this was a sham on their part. >> it's fascinating. i want to put this poll up. this talks about did you want the president he removed, do you not want the bu president remov. 47% say yes, he should be impeached and removed, 48% say no. you look down a little bit and you can see that independents, it's 44, 48%, this really -- all

of this stuff really did not move the needle like democrats thought it would. >> it was doomed to fail from the start. everyone knew it. and it's quite the coincidence that they brought this impeachment proceeding in an election year. in my mind, this was never about getting to the truth or constitutional basis for impeachment. this was about a political move for yoforpower, to dirty the prp in an election year. >> i'm amazed that we have closing arguments on monday, the game's over. we know the president is not going to be removed from office. you have democrats giving closing arguments on monday. what's the focus? is this for po posterity. you know your client is acquitted but you still have to give closing argument. >> at the end of a trial, each side gets to lay out their arguments and it's up to the

jury to decide. i think we all know what the result is going to be. >> that's the question, if we know the results, we know that monday are closing arguments, there's going to be some work done on tuesday. the vote really to acquit or not comes on wednesday. in between there, you have the state of the union address and the he question becomes, if you're president trump do you go into the state of the union address feeling robust and emboldened or is there a cloud lingering over you? >> i mean, i think he should feel emboldened, if he's acquitted, which it's anticipated he will be, under the eyes of the law he has done nothing wrong. and we have to remember that. and we have to respect the fact that he is acquitted. if someone is acquitted at trial in a criminal trial, we can't go around saying they did it or they were guilty. they were acquitted in the eyes of the law and the constitution that i swore an oath to uphold, he is innocent. >> and i've got go, ken. what do you make where maybe a

couple democrats also vote to acquit the president? >> well, i think it would speak to their standing on principle. because the charges put forward do not make out impeachable offenses and i respect the fact that they would uphold the constitution. >> ken, good to hear from you, sir. thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth warren is back on the campaign trail, as the t senate impeachment trial takes a break for the weekend, alyssa kunya is following warren as she makes her final pitch to voters before the state's caucus. alyssa. >> reporter: hi, trace. senator elizabeth warren is set to take the stage here in he cer rapids at any moment. she is trying to mak make upperr time that she spent in dc this week. at an earlier event she opted to not do the famous selfie line she usually has, instead she did

a group photo. her message to volunteers was we need you and everything you've got. >> this all comes down to this pivotal moment and it launches right here in iowa. in living rooms just like this. we're going to make this happen. and you know, you often wonder if i had been there at some point in history, where would i have been, what would my contribution have been. well, now you know. because this one is it. >> reporter: today warren is celebrating her one millionth individual donation. we've also seen her message she has been delivering in the final push and with the traction not where they hoped it would be at this less stage, we're hearing less policy specific arguments and much more viability and ability to beat trump. the fourth quarter, she spent more than she raised but still

started 2020 with nearly 14 million on-hand. here's a look at her standing. it shows her running fourth right behind mayor pete. but polling ahead of caucuses here in iowa is notoriously difficult. in fact, trace, as you may remember, earlier this week monmouth university reminded everyone this would be a five-way contest. >> the yo applause right on cue. millions are getting ready to watch the super bowl on fox and in person in miami but amid all the fun, there are serious concerns about human trafficking. doug mckelway explains how police across the sunshine state are coming together to help combat the issue. >> reporter: for host cities, the super bowl presents a chance to shine in the spotlight of tens of millions of viewers, to profit from tourism, but also to crack down on human trafficing. >> we have zero tolerance here.

we'll come after you. >> reporter: before last year's super bowl in atlanta, police made 169 human trafficking arrests, up from 110 in minneapolis the year before. expect more arrests this year in miami. >> we partnered with uberer, we partnered with the trucking association, we trained drivers to spot on the interstate coming down to the super bowl because that's how they'll come. >> reporter: this year's super bowl coincides with human trafficking awareness month. >> at age 13 i was brought into this country. i survived trafficking along with 19 other girls. you are never too old, too lost or too broken to begin healing. >> reporter: that's where william barr said technology is helping and hindering, sometimes leaving a digital trail to offenders, sometimes masking that trail. >> now we're seeing military grade incrytion being marketed.

>> reporter: for all the advantages the super bowl offers to you address this worldwide crime -- >> an estimated 24.9 million people trapped in forced labor or commercial sex trafficking. >> reporter: some say it's unfair to link it to the super bowl because statistical evidence that human trafficking increases during the super bowl is inconsistent you clue sieve. a university of -- inconclusive. a university of minnesota says super bowl does have an increase for advertisements for sex. another study found there is no evidence that the super bowl causes an increase in sex trafficking compared to other days and events throughout the year, though there was a noticeable increase in law enforcement activities intended to locate victims. that's not to say that human trafficking is not a huge problem. it is. one that's all the more difficult to address because it thrives in the shadows of homelessness, broken families, run-away teens, and mental

illness. in washington, doug mckelway, fox news. a new case of the coronavirus confirmed in the u.s. today as world health officials work to help tackle the outbreak. we'll speak to an expert from johns hopkins university about how you can stay healthy. after the break. i'm your mother in law. and i like to question your every move. like this left turn. it's the next one. you always drive this slow? how did you make someone i love? that must be why you're always so late. i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise. my son, he did say that you were the safe option. and that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. so get allstate. stop bossing. where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. this is my son's favorite color, you should try it.

[mayhem] you always drive like an old lady? [tina] you're an old lady.

trace: live pictures out of iowa where bernie sanders is holding a town hall event at simpson college and bernie sanders has got some momentum, which depending on who you talk to is kind of scaring the democratic establishment. bernie sanders is running a strong number two in iowa, clearly with a grain of salt you have to take some of these eye a polls. it's difficult to get an accurate gauge. we should note that bernie sanders is in fact the number two right now, a very strong number two running just behind joe biden, give or the take a few points. meantime, the number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. growing to eight people today with massachusetts officials confirming the first case in the state, this as the u.s. faces pushback over the entry ban on

foreign nationals who recently visited china. lauren greene following the latest updates on this. lauren. >> reporter: we'll have more on that case, that first confirmed case from massachusetts in a moment. the virus is now a worldwide health organization problem, a worldwide health emergency according to the world health organization. the number of cases is nearly 12,000 with at least 259 deaths in china, the epicenter, with so many unknown factors about the virus, precaution and prevention are he key and airports like lax, people wearing masks to protect themselves as it's now clear the virus can spread from person to person. yesterday, the u.s. issued a public health emergency, barring entry of foreign nationals who visited china within the last 14 days. scientists say 14 days is the longest incubation period for the virus. >> foreign nationals, other than immediate family of u.s. citizens and permanent residents

who have traveled in china within the last 14 days will be denied entry into the united states for this time. >> reporter: meanwhile, eight cases so far have been confirmed in the u.s., that latest case a man in his 20s who lives in boston and recently visited wuhan, china. other cases are in washington, california, arizona and illinois. american, united and delta have halted flights to and from china for several weeks and that news brought the dow tumbling yesterday, losing a little more than 600 points. according to health officials, the coronavirus is from a large family of viruses that can cause a range of illnesses like sars. that deadly open deadi dead -- epidemic was from 2003. this new strain has never been seen in humans before. the first cases in china had some link to open markets where seafood and live animals were sold. symptoms include runny nose, headache, cost, sore throat and

fever and there is no known vaccine. >> we're learning every day about what this unusual virus does. there's no approved drug. we're looking at some experimental drugs. we and a number of other organizations have started developing a vaccine. >> reporter: health officials say what's crucial in fighting the outbreak is getting accurate information about cases from affected countries, in particular china, where the outbreak began. trace: lauren greene live for us in new york. for insight, we turn to infection disease and pandemic preparedness expert at johns hopkins university center for health security, dr. amoss adoljia. the scary thing is we don't know how the coronavirus is transmitted. >> i think it's become very clear now that this is transmitting efficiently from human to human as a respiratory virus, similar to what influenza does.

that changes how we approach the virus. there's different measures you take when it's an animal to human transmission, versus a human to human transmission and it becomes difficult to control. trace: that's the question is how common is the yo human to hn transmission. people were saying animals to human might be it. we know about a case in illinois where the wife apparently transmitted to her husband. how much do we know about the disease itself? >> we do know that it's transmitting efficiently from human to human in china. we have seen limited transmission in other countries, for example, in germany they have multiple generations of cases of. we've seen health care workers get infected in france. we know this can transmit. that kind of changes -- that changes from what we were saying earlier. we learned more about the virus having this capacity to efficiently transmit from human to human. that makes it daunting to try to interrupt the chains of transmission. we're in the middle of flu season. trace: what do you make of the

response to this, doctor? are we doing enough? is it appropriate? is it not enough? we talk about the flu killing between 12,000 and 5 # of thousand people a -- 50* 0,000-0 people a year in this country. this this being handled appropriately in your estimation? >> that's an important question. i think the declaration of a public health emergency which will mobilize organizations to try to divert resources to controlling the outbreak and mitigating it and preparing the health care system, that is very important. i do not think the travel bans are warranted. i do not think quarantines are warranted. i think we need to monitor and screen people as they come in and educate them about symptoms. this will end up being a community transmitted virus and severeity won't be what we are seeing in china. it will fall substantially. there are more asymptom matic

case, cases with mild symptoms and a small number will get severe disease and require hospitalization and icu care. i think that will change the risk perception of the virus as time goes on. trace: if you talk to medical experts that do support the travel ban, what their contention is they're afraid that as the coronavirus makes its way into countries that do not have as robust a health care system as we do, that it could spread very rapidly and it's not going to be treated well and that they will -- the death toll will be high and those people could end up coming in this country in high numbers. what do you make about that argument? >> it is true the resiliency of the health care system will impact how they deal with it. we've got likely asymptomatic transmission, respiratory virus that spreads through coughs and sneezes. we know this was probably spreading in china for two to four weeks before it was announced and people traveled already. so there are likely mild cases that aren't being tested all

over the world. we're testing people that have strict criteria. it's probably more widespread than you know about even today. trace: what do you make of the fact that the eight cases now in the united states, the people who have the coronavirus appear to be doing pretty well in the scheme of things apand then you hear about china where the death toll has risen, i think it's at 270 plus now. what do you make of the difference in how the virus is being handled by different people? >> i think that with coronaviruses you have the spectrum of illness. some people have mild illness, some have severe illness. the fact that you have the number of deaths in china speaks to the fact that it must be widespread. that means there's a sea of people with mild infection that aren't being diagnosed or tested in china. what we're seeing in the united states is probably more representative of what this disease is like, that it causes mild illness, pneumonia in some

individuals and doesn't require hospitalization in many. i think that's the story we'll tell about this virus. it will take some time for all the data to be analyzed and get the full picture. that's what it's looking like to me. trace: great insight, sir. thank you so much. >>much.pete buttigieg making sel stops in iowa today. mike toe bi tobin is standing bn debuke. >> reporter: the president says he'll be exonerated. mayor pete reacts on the campaign trail. you'll hear about it coming you up.

trace: a live look now in cedar rapids, iowa, elizabeth warren speaking at cole college. warren has always been right there, a talking about biden and then warren and sanders, well, now, the conversation as we run up to the iowa caucuses is about biden and sanders.

elizabeth warren has fallen pretty significantly in the polls in recent weeks. she was up there, now she's down. so she is trying to reinvigorate her campaign and she will have to go back of course to dc on monday for arguments and then go back for the iowa caucuses on tuesday. more breaking news out of iowa as it comes in. meantime, pete buttigieg is trying to build momentum in iowa this weekend with several campaign events of his own. mike tobin in dubuque with the latest on that. >> reporter: mayor buttigieg has interest, you can see the crowd of people lining up to get into the fieldhouse to get a look at him. the biggest reaction we have seen from the crowd thus far is when he cuts right to the message that he is the guy to beat donald trump in the general election. in a brief poll, we were able to get some reaction from mayor buttigieg about the president's statement that he is going to be exonerated.

>> at the end of the day, this is not only about the president's abuses of power, this is about our everyday lives and the president turned his back on workers and farmers, this is a chance to make sure we run an election that's not just about him but more than anything it's about us. >> reporter: the only democratic rivals out buttigieg is paying attention of to in the last couple days are the guys at the top of the polling, senator bernie sanders and former vice president joe biden. buttigieg says with sanders you have a choice between revolution and status quo and nothing in between. as far as joe biden, buttigieg says democrats need fresh new ideas and they need to leave politics of the past in the past. he says he is the guy to lead the new leadership. trace: mike, thank you. well, best selling author mary higgins clark in 2011 ringing the opening bell on wall street. she died yesterday at the age of 92 in naples, florida.

as he makes his ph final mush in thpush ifiowa this weekend. >> reporter: senator bernie sanders seems happy to be out of washington, d.c. and in iowa, back where he's trying to make the final case a that he should be the one to take on donald trump in november and you're right, he is campaigning today, seven different campaign stops over the next two days, three today, four tomorrow. the second one he had today was here at the college of simpson college and he had a very rousing audience here. they were quite excited to hear from him. and a lot of talk about electability and who is the person best able to take on donald trump in november because there was an article in politico saying that some people in the dnc are floating the idea of perhaps changing the rules at the convention of to take away the power of the super delegate.

but bernie sanders was talking about why he is the best person to take on trump. take a listen. >> we are united in understanding that we must defeat donald trump. number one, to defeat donald trump, who will be a very formidable opponent for a number of reasons, we need to have the largest voter turnout in american history. [ applause ] >> that's just a fact. >> reporter: sanders says his is a candidacy that has the most momentum, the most excitement and the polls really are showing that he's got momentum, at least here in iowa. and even nationally where he closed the gap with joe biden, he you now trails in national polls by just a composite of 3 and-a-half percent, he has a 3 and-a-half percent lead in the iowa caucus polls. nothing matter until we get to monday day.

the final votes will be monday night and trace, i've got to tell you, there's a lot of enthusiasm for bernie sanders that we've seen so far in iowa. they want to get that machine out. they've got the most volunteers, the most campaign offices of any candidates here in iowa and we'll see if that turns out on monday. trace: you can feel it. dan, thank you. even outside of the hawk eye state voters are paying close attention to what the presidential p hopefuls are saying ahead of the caucuses. for more on how it's playing out to folks across the country, we turn to radio host josh kimbrell. you listen to dan's reports and you look at the polls. it is kind of fascinating. joe biden is still at the top with 26% of the vote. that's down 5 points from october. and then you have bernie sanders, 23, that's up 4 from october. so you have bernie kind of trending in the right direction, josh, and that has got to be scaring the daylight out of a big part of the democratic

establishment. >> that's why you see so much conversation about how democrats may want to change the rules of the convention or what's going to be the role of the super delegates. you saw president trump this week in iowa talking about almost kind of bolstering the bernie sanders campaign, because on the republican side there's a deep desire to have bernie sanders be the nominee. thif you have a sanders candida, you could have be looking at a landslide of epic proportions, we haven't seen in 36 years. trace: if i can put that poll up one more time in the control room, for iowa again, because the thing that i find fascinating is the mike bloomberg, who came from october zero, out of nowhere and now he's doubled to 10 and a lot of people believe that mike bloomberg is actually stealing numbers away from joe biden. your thoughts? >> i think that's 100% true and

mike bloomberg spent $100 million bolstering his candidacy which has the absolute effect of pulling moderates away from joe biden. what you have right now is a 50/50 democratic party. you have half the party that says we've still got to go in a moderate direction. we can't have a total socialist on the top of the ticket. the other has moved toward total socialism with sanders. because of bloomberg's entry in the race, it's hurting biden and bolstering sanders and that may hurt the democratic chances come november. trace: we talk about the polls a lot. it's really all we have to base our numbers on. karl rove this morning on fox news, he was talking to neil cavuto, he said we should be careful of polls. listen to this and i'll get your reaction. >> iowa state, sanders ahead 24-15. it's nearly 5 point plus or minus. so sanders could be as high as 29 or as low as 19 and biden could be at 10 or 20.

we've got to be careful from the beginning. hard to poll a primary. these are relatively small sample sizes with a lot of room for error. trace:.trace: especially with 5 point margin of error, could you be anywhere. >> primaries are he notoriously hard to poll. a caucus is worse. the second choice factors into that, you have a lot of dynamics. i believe there's a good chance joe biden comes out on top in iowa on monday. sanders and biden will be duking it out all the way to south carolina. in south carolina we've seen sanders beat into biden's lead. if you're the president, you're thinking go, bernie, go, because it's great tore the. trace: what do you make of the president going to iowa. clearly, he's not going to lose iowa. he goes there and says i own this state and is going after democratting still in iowa.

what do you make of that? >> i think the president's running n aggressive ground -- running an aggressive ground game. i think the president's good in iowa. this president's pathway to re-election is to carry the rust belt again. he's going to have to carry some of those traditionally purplish or red states to win election. the usmca, the deal with china, helps the president with midwestern voters and poking the democrats in the eye in iowa certainly bolsters his political chances against any democratic nominee. trace: iowa has been a very good barometer over the years for he'll democrats, not so much for the gop. this is important to democrats. >> abs a lieutenantly. democrats -- absolutely. democrats, typically whoever wins iowa for the democrats becomes the nominee. that's why you see such a fight between biden and sanders. it may be very hard for biden to stop his momentum even in south

carolina. trace: josh kimbrell, good to see you. thank you. >> good to see you. thank you. trace: well, a little more than 24 hours until kickoff, sports fans around the country getting ready for this year's super bowl and fox has got you covered. phil keithin keating live in mih with a look at what's going on behind the scenes. >> reporter: we are at the super bowl experience. there's so much to do here for the fans. this particular location, can buy and have your own customized real genuine wilson football. they will do exactly what they do for the super bowl right here in front of you. we've got did whole thing coming up -- we've got the whole thing coming up. ♪ 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. my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise.
