e r on fnc. thanks for watching. i'm paul gigot, hope to see you right here next week. ♪ ♪ >> well, welcome to des moines, a super-sized weekend on tap. president trump is putting the finishing i touches on the state of the union address. an end to impeachment trial is coming, in fact, it paved the way for his expected a acquittal wednesday just hours after that state of the union address. welcome to "america's news headquarters," i'm ed henry, live in des moines, iowa, site of the other big story that's brewing, the very first presidential contest of 2020. that is just two days away. back in washington democrats needed four republicans to join
1:01 pm
them in voting for new witnesses in the trial, but only two gop senators broke ranks in a 51-49 vote. strong reaction now from both sides. >> if the president's acquitted, it's not really much because with it wasn't a real trial. >> for all intents and purposes, this impeachment process is over. throughout all of it the house managers never proved their case, and so so their strategy, as you know, was just a hail mary. ed: a hail mary, he says. kevin corke is standing by with more reaction from the president's team in west palm beach, florida. but first, lucas tomlinson wraps up the latest from capitol hill where democrats pushed that acquittal until after the big speech tuesday night. >> reporter: last night senator lindsey graham said publicly what many republicans were thinking privately. >> i went to the school of hard knocks, and you know what i believe about all this? it was a bunch of partisan bullshit in the house, it
1:02 pm
continued in the senate. it's going to end wednesday. the president's going to get acquitted, and it's going to blow up in their face. >> of course, democrats don't see it that way. >> if the president is acquitted with no witnesses, no documents, the acquittal will have no value. >> reporter: as you mentioned, ed, the senate narrowly rejected the motion 5-49. only -- 51-49: only two republican senators defected, mitt romney and susan collins. senator collins didn't want to be blamed for the wednesday impeachment vote after the state of the union. quote: there was a multi-party disagreement about how the senate should proceed. it was not held up by the pod rates. senator collins believed before senators cast their final votes, they should have the opportunity to stand up and briefly state their reasons. she did not care what day that occurred or how much time the members got. here's what the schedule looks like next week. at monday on -- on monday at 11
1:03 pm
a.m., closing arguments begin. attendance is mandatory. at 3 p.m. senators will deliver individual remarks on the floor. on tuesday attendance is optional, and on wednesday senators make their final remarks at 4 p.m. the court of impeachment reconvenes, chief justice john roberts presiding over the historic vote. democrats had hoped to flip other gop senators, but the senate in recess this weekend four democratic senators running for president have rushed to join you in iowa. ed: we'll be looking for them, lucas. thank you for starting us off today. the trial set to resume on monday. just one day before the president delivers his annual state of the union address in the house chamber. kevin corke is our correspondent live in west palm beach, florida, not far from where the president is spending the weekend. good afternoon. >> reporter: good to be with you, e.. the white house is obviously
1:04 pm
ready to move on past impeachment even though the final vote to acquit the president won't happen until wednesday x we say that with the confidence that it is unlikely by any measure that there would be 67 votes to remove him from office. the fact that the senate was willing to move on and reject the call for more witnesses on sop of the 17 that the house already had and adjourn until monday, well, it means they're also ready to rend arer a verdict. but that's not sitting well with the speaker of the house. it is a sad day for america to see senator mitch mcconnell humiliate the chief justice of the united states into presiding over a vote which rejected our nation's judicial norms, precedents and institutions which uphold the constitution and the rule of law. so now the question is this: why not wrap things up before the state of the union set to take place tuesday night? >> look, we all wish that it could have been, and perhaps it should have been. we were told that we couldn't get it done between now and
1:05 pm
then. in the meantime, this is a victory. it's a huge victory. we got this evidentiary issue behind us. >> reporter:'s mike lee there. meanwhile, the white house team working, as you point out, ed, on the president's remarks. sources telling fox news the theme will be the great american comeback and will lay out the vision of relentless optimism with a particular focus on the blue collar boom supporting working families, lowering the cost of health care, safe and legal immigration and protecting national security. as you can imagine, we don't anticipate seeing the president on camera today, although he did make his way out on the links as we saw there on twitter. if that changes, i promise to let you know. for now, back to you. ed: kevin, thanks for staying on so much that. let's bring in arizona republican congressman andy biggs, he, of course, is a member of the house judiciary committee and is chairman of the influential house freedom caucus. thanks for coming in.
1:06 pm
>>ing thank, ed. good to be with you. ed: a lot covered by democrats and republicans about what we've seen in this trial, where we go from here, but i think maybe lindsey graham caught all of our ears, and let me try to put this in a family way, partisan b.s., how do you react to that? [laughter] >> well, i think he's right. this has been going on for years, as you know, and it started before president trump was elected with the actual spying on his campaign members by some intelligence agencies. and then it just continued, it's one thing after the other. but i think what we've seen here has been, frankly, a disastrous move on the part of the democrats. they've pressed for witnesses acknowledging, however, that they didn't let republicans even call witnesses in the house. they've tried to basically turn everything around into a process argument when we were complaining about process in the house, they basically rammed it down our throats. it's just awkward and weird. ed: you've also had the
1:07 pm
contradiction that you and others have pointed out where the house managers were trying to make the case in the trial that they had the president cut and dried, they had the evidence to impeach him. it budget, as they claimed, a -- it wasn't, as they claimed, a rush to judgment, but then they needed more witnesses to prove their case. which one was it? >> the reality was they never had anything because there was never anything done that qualified for any of this. so when they said that, i just -- the first time i heard it, ed, i literally laughed out loud because i said how can you plausibly with a straight face say two different things that are absolutely 180 degrees apart in they're the ones who set the artificial deadline. they're the ones that prevented the due process in the house, and then you get to the senate and it's like, oh, well, we need more. we need more. ed: congressman, now that the trial coming to an end, one would expect, maybe each hope both sides could say, okay, there were big disagreements, but let's move forward. but instead before we get to the
1:08 pm
state of the union, we find out the democrats want to delay things, have some speeches and make sure the president is not acquitted before walking into that house chamber triumphantly. do you see that as being infantile, immature? >> yeah. i think some of this stuff borders on the -- it's ludicrous. i mean, what they're doing is their basically -- they're basically telling the american people, you know what? this has never been about what's right or wrong or what's just. what this is about is trying to embarrass this president, and that's what i see here. that's one last swing at the piñata, to be honest with you. ing. ed: on the question of right and wrong though, let me push back on the fact that even a republican in lamar alexander who was pivotal here in saying, no, i'm not going to vote for more witnesses said in his statement, he was quite critical of the president and said he believ the phone call, the president's conduct was inappropriate. >> yeah. i saw that, ed. and i 100% disagree with him.
1:09 pm
in fact, the people who are monitoring the phone call outside of alexander vinldman, everybody else who was monitoring kind of had my reaction. when i saw the transcript i said, are you kidding me? what are we doing here? and i think mr. , you know, senator al sachedder is certainly entitled to his opinion, but i disagree with him vehemently. ed: okay. last question then as we look forward instead of backwards toward this big tate of the union on tuesday night, what's your advice to the president? obviously, you've made the case democrats have been doing this since before he was inaugurated. they're going to make the case that you and others were turning away from what they think was inappropriate. talk about the american comeback ahead of his re-election that kevin corke was reporting on. try to turn the page from this and look forward. what's your advice to the president? >> well, i'm hoping x i believe he will deliver a speech much like he delivered at davos where he basically was to optimistic. i mean, you just felt like
1:10 pm
here's a guy that understands that he is actually coming out of this victorious. the democrats, self-inflicted wounds he doesn't need to pile on. he can be gracious. but i really tell you, he was so optimistic in davos that i thought, you know, this is the message that needs to go to the american people. we are coming back. things are improving. this is a time to be looking forward with optimism and not to be looking backwards and, with pessimism because things have improved dramatically in the three years he's been president. of. ed: you can see the president starting to build that case likely tuesday right through november, congressman andy biggs, we appreciate you coming in. >> thanks, ed. good to be with you, as always. ♪ ♪ ed: let's turn now to the race for the white house. the democrats who want the president's job. 2020 democrats putting on a full court press on the ground in iowa ahead of the first mom night contest. that comes monday night. some senators who were stuck in

1:12 pm
election. former secretary of state john kerry has been out on the campaign trail with him today trying to make that exact same argument and drive it home. >> there's only one candidate running for president in this field who has shown the ability to pass major legislation, to build the coalitions that you need, to be able to go and campaign in states that i'm telling you one of the others were inviolented to because they would have lost votes, not won them. that's the difference here. joe biden went to 24 states, he worked for 65 candidates, and he played a critical role in helping us to win back the congress of the united states. >> reporter: but other candidates make that argument as well. in the most recent fox news poll, it was found that if the general election took place today, six democrats would beat president trump. wilden is at the temperature of -- biden is at the top of the

[laughter] ed: he's all over the story, every inch of it. in the meantime, the iowa secretary of state is addressing concerns about misinformation ahead of monday. our correspondent mark meredith is here in the capital city of des moines. mark? >> reporter: good afternoon, ed. iowans have proud of their -- are proud of their caucus, but as you mentioned, there is some concern out there about the possibility of misinformation spreading online that could impact some caucus-goers. "the washington post" first reported this week that the democratic national committee was sending out only resources from d.c. just to be on the safe side to make sure they can respond to any misinformation that may pop up. the chairman of the state democratic parties here in iowa tweeted this out this week. quote: it's our top priority to insure everyone has accurate facts about the caucuses. that's why we're diligently tracking any disinformation, but we need your help too.

1:32 pm
know until very late in the game that there weren't going to be witnesses. i think everyone's giving nancy pelosi a lot of credit for orchestrating this around the state of the union. this may just be a coincidence. i want the process to play out -- ed: budget it democrats telling us that nancy pelosi was the master strategist, she knew everything -- >> no, no, no, she's pretty good. but the bigger point is that voters on the ground here and if across the country are watching what's going on in washington and watching the senate republicans how they feel, democratic voters cover for president trump, and they are ready to go to the polls and start voting because they know he's not going to be removed through this process. they know we have to beat him in november, and a lot of voters want to nominate someone who can get democrats more senators. so if we are in this place again, they actually have a chance at a fair trial or more oversight. ed: byron, republicans covering for the president, that's how he got off. >> it's not exactly over, and
1:33 pm
nothing good can come from this delay for the president is and his team. >> yeah. >> not so much because of the state of the union symbolism, but because of the possibility of more mischief between now and then. going into this, republicans feared a kind of a brett kavanaugh situation here in which there were new allegations, and democrats would demand that things has been to be slowed down and northbound trafficked, and that's -- investigated, and that's what we have seen. it should have happened today, and delaying it until wednesday just gives you until then to maybe something else -- ed: yeah, congressman barr mentioned that, maybe there's another bombshell, i think he said it sarcastically, congressman, because we've heard this bombshell, and then a lot of them seem maybe to fizzling out, and the president's still headed for acquittal. let's talk 22020 politics. what's your view in terms of how all this is playing out for democrats? you' e this report in politico that there are some people in the dnc quietly talking about

beczar, and the campaign manager for -- bizarre. he put out a tweet saying, rashida, you're all good. we love your passion and conviction -- [laughter] don't change. so the message from the bernie sanders camp, you see it right there on twitter, go for it. beat up hillary clinton. >> it looks right now that the democratic party establishment is, again, trying to figure out a way to shaft bernie sanders. by the way, while they're opening the door and saying welcome to michael bloomberg, perhaps getting him in the next debate by changing the rules. so they don't look good. and given the raw feelings that still exist, the fact that the bernie/hillary divide never fully healed in these last four years and now it's a bernie/biden divide, it's still intense like that, i don't think they can treat hem again like they did in 2016. ed: who's going to win iowa, byron? >> bernie. >> joe biden. ed: congressman?

insistence of house leaders to impeach trump by christmas. many simply do not want to hear that the blind rush to impeach guaranteed not only an acquittal, but an easy case for acquittal. let's bring in andy mccarthy, he, of course, is a former u.s. assistant attorney and fox news contributor. andy, thanks for coming in. >> my pleasure, ed. ed: how do you respond to professor turley who, obviously, has been outspoken before, he was the lone voice of dissent when the house judiciary committee pushed forward these articles of impeachment, and he's now saying, look, i warned you. it was going to be a rush to judgment, why'd you push forward anyway? >> well, i do agree with him that the procedure was are defective in the house, and that hurt the case. but i actually think it's kind of a cart before the horse situation. i think the procedure in the house was hadty because the case -- shoddy because the case was not good enough. in other words, if you had a case of real misconduct, if you

had a nixon or clinton situation where you could debate whether the president how can removed or not but the misconduct was clear, obviously and pretty appalling, then it would have been very easy to say we need bipartisan buy-in into the investigation. at one point i think it was said that the house vote to have an inquiry into nixon was something along the lines of like 404-10. ed: right. >> and i think the reason they had a hadty investigation, ed,ing was because it was not obvious misconduct. they even had to keep happying their theory of what it was, and they needed to have, they needed to cut corners in the investigation to get it over the finish line. ed: well, it seems to me a key question to answer what we're getting at here at the center of this is whether or not the house democrats should have subpoenaed folks like john bolton. we heard at the trial from impeachment managers like ad apple schiff that, to all this

would have taken a year to get john bolton to court, we had to move forward. professor turley in this series of tweets i mentioned he believes it could have taken main two months to go to court with a subpoena and try and force both -- who's right on that? >> well, you know, look, i think that i have actually not much sympathy for adam schiff on a number of things, but i have think for him on this point because i do think there's a bait and switch going on in the sense that the republicans said and the president's counsel said in the senate trial, oh, you should have are subpoenaed them, you should have literated, you rushed. but in point of fact, when they go to court the trump justice department tells the court it's none of your business, this is a qabl between the political branches. so so they get them coming and going. on the other hand, ed, it sounds to the the me like bolton's pretty hot to testify. i don't know that it would have taken that long.
1:46 pm
and the one thin i would say overarchingly about this is isn't over. there's no double jeopardy in impeachment. double jeopardy a criminal law concept. this is not a criminal law proceeding, and there's nothing -- the house has not shut down its investigation. there's nothing that says they won't bring in bolton and continue this. ed: well, and last question on this then. there's obviously the political question of why, you know, the democrats wanted to delay this past the tate of the union, maybe in deny the president the official acquittal to he could walk into that house chamber quietly. undoubtedly, still trying to do so, but beyond the politics, the actual legal questions coming forward, byron york was warning about the tonight for most mischief. when the case over, it's over. but in this case, there's still some procedure to move forward. and this is the potential for a, quote-unquote, another bomb
1:47 pm
scherr from the bolton book or -- bombshell from the bolton book. should the president be concerned this is still not done? >> well, i think he should be concerned about that anyway, ed, for the reason i just said. even if we get out of the four corners of this senate trial, that doesn't mean that the house impeachment investigation is over. and to my mind, what this has always been about sames think they're really had a real riskic idea -- realistic idea of moving the president has been the politics of 2020. as long as they think that they can bruise trump up so that their goal is to try to make him unelectable in the stretch run of the campaign. sure, there could be all kinds of stuff between now and then. ed: andy mccarthy breaking it down, have a good rest of the weekend. >> you too, ed. thank you. ed: all right. the super bowl kicking off tomorrow. find out what with you can expect on the big day. don't forget, it's coming on fox. ♪

broadcast center. joining me now, former philadelphia eagles running back reno mahi. we appreciate you coming in. >> hey, thanks for having me. glad to be here. ed: you know, last year some say it was a great game because it was an offensive struggle. they like that sort of old school football. myself, i don't know how you approach it, but i like to see a lot of touchdowns. we've got two quarterbacks who might light it up. >> yeah. i was actually -- i played offense, i was on the other side of the ball, but i enjoy good defense. i love seeing the battle of the defense. i'm super excited to sea see what the dekens can do to -- defense can do. ed: everyone likes to talk about the quarterbacks, and we'll talk about mahomes and garoppolo in a moment, but i have to say that i sort of woke up to this in the nfc championship game because i didn't follow san francisco all year. that rushing attack, mean, they host one of their running backs in the first quarter to an injury, and it didn't matter because the rushing attack was
1:53 pm
to fierce. >> no. and that's what make for, like, a great super bowl team. when you've gotten an amazing ght end like the rock says, the people's tight end, you got that combination, you're going to to have a great running game. so when when the quarterback can obviously defeinted on the o ruins that just pushed the defense back. people have been canning me throughout the week, they've asked me what i thought. it's going to come down to coach spag, and for the chiefs, the d coordinator. he's going to be the different maker, in my opinion. >> you mentioned the defensive coordinator, but the highway coach for the kith chiefs andy reid who's been in the big game. as you though, they lost the super bowl, but he's been around -- i hate to remind you. i didn't mean to -- >> appreciate. [laughter] thanks for bringing that up. ed: yeah. that for myself and i know a lot
1:54 pm
of people, no disrespect to san francisco. andy reid lost a son, as you know, to drugs, he he's struggles. it's very emotional for him. winning a super bowl would probably put him gnat hall of fame. talk about andy reid when you prayed in neff, now he's with kansas city x he's never won the big one. >> no, i think a lot of time was we as gaps or even as country, we put so much on wenning, we put so so much on someone losing and someone winning. and i think what andy has taught me the years that i got to may for him and just being good people, working hard and being good people. and if there's ever a time for us to think about that and all that's happened this woke and things that happened with kobe, you know, when you're sitting around watching the superwell game, with grateful, you know?

1:56 pm
at the end of the day, i'm mostly excited for just being able to be in a great cup and end you the entertainment that this game provides. ed: i knew about coach reid losing a son, i didn't know you lost a child. our hearts certainly go out to you and your family. hope you're doing well. you put this in perspective by putting it in the context of the has of kobe bryant. we appreciate you coming in. >> we're doing great. thanks for having me. ed: there's only one place to watch the big game, on the fox broadcast sec, kickoff between the nine's and chiefs tomorrow right from miami, 6:30 eastern. we've got a brand new hour of news coming up. stay with us, i'll be back. before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before

2:01 pm
>> democrats are claiming we need new witnesses. we heard testimony from 13 witnesses, reviewed hundreds of pages of briefings, thousands of pages of evidence, we've satisfied our duty as the trial court of impeachment. >> i was so deeply disa a disad and a dismayed. there's no vindication, no victory for the president. there is a court of you appeals, the court of public opinion. we have to take our case to the voters in november. ed: november coming quickly. we have fox team coverage this hour, kevin cork standing by with more from the president's team. we start in washington with lucas tomlinson, wrapping up the latest from capitol hill. >> reporter: with the issue of calling additional witnesses now settled, republican senator ted cruz used a football analogy ahead of the super bowl which airs on fox tom he ro tomorrow . >> for all intents and purposes this impeachment process is over. throughout all of it, the house

managers never proved their case and so their strategy as you know was just a hail mary. >> reporter: mitt romney and susan collins were the two republican senators to defect. democrats hoped to flip lisa murkowski but failed. she said, quote, given the partisan nature of impeachment, i've come do the conclusion there will be no fair trial in the senate. i don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything. it is sad for me to admit that as an institution, the congress has failed. some republicans said president trump was unwise in allegedly asking ukraine's leaders to dig up dirt on joe biden and his son, hunter. senator rob portman said i believe some of the president's actions in this case were wrong and inappropriate and i do not believe the president's actions rise to the level of removing a dually elected president from office and taking him off the ballot in the middle of the election. next week, on monday at
2:03 pm
11:00 a.m. closing arguments begin, each side has two hours. attendance is mandatory. 3:00 p.m., senators will deliver individual remarks from the floor. on tuesday, senators will spend all day speaking on the floor but their attendance is optional. on wednesday, senators make their final remarks on the floor and at 4:00 p.m. the court of impeachment reconvenes with john roberts presiding over the historic vote on the two articles of impeachment. with the senate in he recess this weekend, the four democrats running for president sprinted to iowa for last minute campaigning before monday. ed. ed: lucas, thank you. the senate impeachment trial set to resume as just noted, just one day before the president heads to the capitol and delivers his annual state of the union address. kevin cork is live in west palm beach, florida, near where the president is spending the weekend. kevin, good evening. >> reporter: you're right, listen, no public events planned for the president today. given the brevity of time between now and delivery, it's a pretty good bet that he's going to spend a fair amount of time working on that state of the
2:04 pm
union address which is coming up on tuesday. i think it's fair to say all work and no play makes jack a dull boy or at least the old saying goes. the president echoed that when he said he was getting a little exercise this morning as he made his way out to the links. the theme of the speech will be the great american comeback. the president will lay out a vision of relentless optimism and expect him to touch on about five major issues, he's going to talk about the blue collar boom, something we have heard a great deal about, he'll talk about supporting working families, lowering the cost of health care, that should be a key, sae and legal immigration and protecting national security. on capitol hill, to be candid, the rncor -- rancor endures. speaker nancy pelosi said this on twitter. it's a sad day for america to see senator mcconnell
2:05 pm
humiliate the chief justice of the united states into pro presiding over a vote which rejected judicial norms, precedent and institutions which uphold the constitution and the rule of law. i want to point something out to you, ed, before we let you go. i noticed on twitter the president retweeted a nugget about the possible killing of anil kai da leader -- an al-qaida leader, qasim al-raymi. we haven't confirmed that. we're continue to follow that story. when we confirm that, we'll get it to you. ed: all aa loan, as you note -- all alone, as you noded, but never dull. joining us now, jenna ellis, constitutional law attorney. jenna, thanks for coming in. >> great to see you, ed. ed: i notice the president just tweeted you out one of his supporters was asking a question on social media, why is it that the four democrats who serve in
2:06 pm
the senate, running for president, are allowed to vote on whether or not he should be convicted. the president retweeting that and saying he thinks it's crazy. i heard it from a lot of viewers. how do you feel inside the trump campaign that four of the democrats, amy klobuchar, bernie sanders and the rest, they're able to participate and very few people are saying anything about it. >> it's an interesting part of our constitutional process. i think the founders did not ever really fully anticipate that the senate would be so partisan and split and they really had faith in our process, that senators would actually look at the rule of law, look at the article two, section four, and treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors and actually vote with the law over partisan politics. we quoted alex an deer hamilton -- alexander hamilton and others through the process and they didn't want it to be political but it has been. that's unfortunate.
2:07 pm
i agree with those who say this is for their own partisan gain and they should recuse themselves and they should be so straightforward that they can say, listen, this has become a political process but really under the constitution the senate had has full power to trial impeachment so that does include, unfortunately, people who are running against the president. ed: i ask that in part because amy klobuchar is here because there's no trial proceedings this weekend, she's here on the ground in iowa. she had an event and said this about the president and the truth coming out. >> you know what? the truth is not going to come out five years from now. it's not going to come out five months from now. it's going to come out five days from now or five weeks from now. ed: byron york was on earlier, saying that he wonders if democrats are going to try to get some other quote, unquote, bombshell out there over the next five days, something else from the bolton book to try and stop the president's acquittal. >> you know, and they're going
2:08 pm
to try and every single time it's been presumption after presumption after presumption, bombshell this and that and it's failed. at the end of the day, four facts never change, you look at the transcript, the president is not guilty of any of the offenses that they've alleged and the articles on face aren't even alleging any impeachable offenses. the president should be genuinely, just looking at the constitution and the law, politics aside, should be a acquitted 100-0. that's not going to happen because we're in such a partisan controversial nature but i think of course the democrats are playing the 11th hour games. i don't think that's going to work for them. they're going to try really hard. the president is going to come out of the state of the union on tuesday in victory, in full confidence of the american people. his approval ratings are so high. he will be fully acquitted an exonerated. and i disagree with andy mccarthy, he was saying that double jeopardy doesn't apply, this can attach. i think that's a really
2:09 pm
interesting question and if the democrats continue to try this, this is why the supreme court at some stage may have to weigh in on this because we're in such an interesting constitutional quagmire, when they're saying no, it's just a political question, well, they have the constitutional obligation to look at this. i don't think he can actually be brought in on the same charges. i do think that double jeopardy applies, if you look at the text of the constitution. ed: very last question. i mentioned this earlier. you say, look, this has been partisan and democrats have been leading the effort. there are republicans like lamar alexander who in the end said basically i don't think this is worth removing him but he said what the president did was inappropriate. >> well, i mean, that's his opinion and that's what this boils down to is a policy disagreement and that's why we have the vote of the american people who decide who is vested with executive authority. and there are a lot of americans who love president trump. i was with him at the rally in
2:10 pm
iowa. there are so many people who absolutely genuinely love this president. he can say he disagrees. that's fine. but at the end of the day, what the president did was a absolutely fully within the power of the executive office and that's what matters constitutionally, not this partisan political theater. he's going to be fully acquitted as well he should be. ed: jenna ellis, we appreciate you coming in with your views tonight. >> thanks so much, ed. ed: the presiden president hady in iowa a couple nights ago p. democrats are descending in iowa for a final weekend of campaigning before the caucuses. some candidates serving in the senate right now, dealing with the impeachment trial. now they're able to be a little more free, honing in on the hawk eye state with proceedings put off until monday. iowa state officials are worried about the spread of misinformation ahead of monday's caucuses. mark meredith is following developments from here in he des moines. good evening, mark. >> reporter: good evening, ed.
2:11 pm
all weekend we'v seen various campaigns, volunteers out trying to get people excited ahead of monday. they're trying to get people the right information about what they need to know before they go to the cay cuss. while the campaigns are excited about monday, state officials say they are concerned about the possibility of some misinformation getting out there. the secretary of state here in the hawk eye state has said that they are closely monitoring social media sites just to make sure people are not getting confused by any information about dates and times of where they need to go and so far we've not seen any of that major widespread wrong information getting out there. officials say they are on the lookout for it. >> we're more concerned about the shift as mentioned with the disinformation and the social media gamut. we count on our local county officials that we work with, the political parties, if they see something, alert us, we'll reach out to the media to try to head it off where we can. >> reporter: now, the chairman of the iowa democratic party is
2:12 pm
also encouraging the public to keep their eyes out for any misinformation but also along with this year we've seen new technology dispatched as they'll be tracking the results as they come in real-time. there's going to be paper ballots that you'll be able to verify information that is gathered and there will be a hot line set up for questions between now and monday evening. on friday, we heard from supporters and volunteers with elizabeth warren's campaign. they told us they have been working hard, day and night, to make sure iowans know the information they need to have before showing up to caucus. >> we have so many different forms of media. we communicate with each other. but i think you have to have faith that we'll get out there, we'll let everybody know about the event and we're going to be here because we want to support this candidate, we believe in her and we want to win. >> reporter: earlier this week the washington post reported the democratic national committee dispatched resources, top cyber security experts out here to iowa just to keep an eye on things and of course the various campaigns have got their own
2:13 pm
social media campaign letting people know what they need to know. we've seen this at events, people in des moines going to person to person to make sure they have the information that they need. ed. ed: mark meredith staying on top of that part of the story. mark, thank you. in the meantime, another big story we've been following all week long, the u.s. declaring a public health emergency officially as the eighth case of the coronavirus is confirmed here in america. health officials in massachusetts now say a man from boston tested positive for that virus after returning china, the epicenter of the outbreak. all this as u.s. takes drastic action to screen passengers traveling here from china. our court reporter spoon dent lauren greene -- correspondent lauren greene has more details. >> reporter: the coronavirus is showing no signs of slowing down. a new report that a person in new york city is being tested for the virus and this as the pentagon says mark esper has

2:15 pm
visited wuhan, china. other cases are in washington, california, arizona and illinois, as u.s. carriers halted flights to and from china for several weeks. the news sent the dow tumbling yesterday, losing a little more than 600 points. according to health officials, the coronavirus is from a large a family of viruses that can cause a range of illnesses like sars, the deadly open epidemic of 2003, but this new strain has never been seen in humans before. the first known cases in wuhan where millions now are under lockdown in order to contain the virus. symptoms include runny nose, headache, cough, sore throat and fever. there's no known vaccine. but u.s. health officials say there's still no cause for alarm. >> we still have a low risk to the american public. but we want to keep it at a low risk. >> reporter: in contrast, the common flu is a much more known danger. the season yields about 19 million victims with 180,000
2:16 pm
hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths from the a & b viruses. so this is a much greater concern. it's still not a cause to let your guard down, but there are too many unknowns about the coronavirus where health officials are being cautious at this critical time. ed. ed: lauren, thank you for that report. nearly all of the democrats in the race for the white house are in iowa where the caucus countdown is on. our preview of all the action, who has the momentum, is it bernie, biden or somewhere else, are we headed for chaos monday night? i like chillaxin'. the united explorer card makes things easy. traveling lighter. taking a shortcut. woooo! taking a breather. rewarded! learn more at the explorer card dot com. with truecar, to sell just enter your license plate and see your car's value in real time. sports package and low mileage? nice.

ed: democrats now heading into the home stretch here on the ground in iowa. several of the candidates crisscrossing the state today as the clock ticks down to the very first presidential nominating contest of 2020. we've been anticipating this. it's finally here. the president is making his presence known in iowa, holding a rally here just a couple nights ago. joining me is john fritzy, usa today white house correspondent. thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. ed: there was a new wall street journal poll a couple days ago that suggested bernie sanders has some momentum, not just here in iowa, but nationally. what's your sense about how this race is playing out.
2:21 pm
>> i think you're talking about the impeachment earlier, i think the ability of these guys to have a break and get out to iowa is huge, largely because i think it's a little unsettled right now. we do see sanders with several polls having a bit of momentum, pretty good timing for that surge, i would say. i would note that a usa today poll this week still had biden up. so i think the margins are pretty slim at this point. i think that these guys would probably argue that every little bit helps which is why they were so eager to get on the planes friday night and get out of washington and get back to iowa. ed: finally get here on the ground. interesting because we talk about these national polls and what ultimately matters as you know is what's happening state by state. here on the ground in iowa, but then the next contest a week from now, essentially, just over a week from now, would be the new hampshire primary. bernie sanders has had a pretty
2:22 pm
big lead there for a while. she beat hil hillary clinton by double digits he is from the neighboring state of vermont. state by state, sanders up as you noted just a small margin, within the margin of error. talk about that next year, we talked about sanders and biden. buttigieg's camp says sometimes they have bigger crowds than sanders. you have elizabeth warren who is hanging in the middle of the pack. you have michael bloomberg who is waiting for super tuesday. what about the second tier beyond sanders and biden. >> i think that's part of the reason why it's so important for klobuchar and buttigieg in iowa, sort of how they play, to see if they can maintain some level of viability heading into ne new hampshire where sanders and warren have a bit of a home state advantage. bloomberg is a wild card and he's obviously focused on the
2:23 pm
super tuesday states and moving forward. the shift it isshift is going ty quick. we have a debate on friday. these guys will be shifting over to new hampshire pretty quickly. so the political universe is going to shift over there and the race as you know often -- sometimes in new hampshire is affected by what happens in iowa. so again, that's why i think it's probably eager to be on the ground and done with this trial so they can get to new hampshire next by the end of the week. ed: the man at the center of the trial is not actually obviously going to be on the ballot in the caucus presince, president trump, but he was here a couple nights ago. he's got his sons coming here this weekend into monday, a lot of surrogates, we're told 80 surrogates for the trump campaign even though they're not involved in the caucuses but in the general election iowa is possiblimportant and they know e national media will be on the
2:24 pm
ground and they want to get attention. we talked to other plight l call reporters -- political reporters about the obama trump voters, they went obama in 2012 and flipped in iowa in 2016, they wanted to give donald trump a chance. how does he keep them in his column in 2020. >> i think his you appearance in iowa is one of the more interesting political stories of the week this week for whether you're talking about. as you know, they don't -- he doesn't face a challenge for the nomination but what a show of force. you're trying to remember a time when obama had certainly cabinet secretaries campaigning for him but i don't remember or recall a time when he had such a show of force so early in the race when there is no primary challenge. so i think what they are trying to do is what the campaign officials tell us they're trying to do is flex their muscle a little bit, do a little bit of a dry run for that organization, for battleground states coming up. i had a lot of republicans
2:25 pm
disagree with me on this this week, but there's something to be said for putting a show of force on the ground in iowa in the middle of a trial. you i do think that his ability to sort of command this size of presence of surrogates just as a reminder of the grip that he has on this party. so i think that that move was multifold and they're going to -- i'm sure they'll be doing it in new hampshire as well of. he's got a rally coming up. ed: he's got a rally coming up in new hampshire around that pry mayor a -- primary as well to show force. the newspaper has all kinds of pictures of the president's rally. he's getting the word out as you suggest to flex those muscles, john, appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you. ed: just two days until the first votes of the 2020 campaign of cast, we take a closer look at how some of the candidates are trying to drum up last minute support as we check in with some of our correspondents, our special live coverage from iowa continues. retirement income is complicated.

>> it made be a better candidate and you have made me a better president. 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. >> today, from the bottom of my heart and very humbly, i am here to ask you to please come out and caucus for us on monday night. let us see iowa having the largest caucus turnout in the history of this great state. ed: it all comes down to this, 2020 democrats rallying last minute support ahead of monday's crucial caucuses, zigzagging the state this weekend as they look the to make their final pitch toss the voters. dan springer is one of our correspondents you across the state, he's live in des moines with the bernie sanders
2:31 pm
campaign. dan, how are you doing? >> reporter: hey, ed. i think bernie sanders is very happy to be out of washington, d.c. and be in the hawk eye state. he started in des moines, shaking hands. then he went to a college campus about 30 minutes away. later tonight he'll hit a concert and speak before that in cedar rapids, four more events tomorrow as he makes a final push to try to win the iowa caucuses on monday. the polls here in iowa and the national polls show he's getting momentum and he's now a slight favorite to win here in the hawk eye state. he's campaigning today with two of the most liberal members of congress, representatives camilla jiapola and ilhan omar. they they say his ideas are no longer considered radical, among them, free college, medicare for all and higher taxes on the
2:32 pm
rich. sanders says he's the best candidate to take on president trump because his campaign generates the most enthusiasm. >> it is a low turnout election, trump will win. i believe that our campaign is the campaign of energy, is the campaign of excitement, is the campaign that can bring millions of people into the political process who normally do not vote. >> reporter: michael moore is a big supporter of bernie sanders and he's praising congresswoman rashida tlaib who at a sanders rally last night booed when hillary clinton's name was mentioned, she was reacting to the clinton comment that nobody likes bernie. tlaib said she regrets the booing but moor moore tweeted te is proud of his long-time friend. the party establishment is very
2:33 pm
much worried about sanders and sanders seems to be taking on the establishment, poking it in the eye. we'll have to see what happens on monday night. it sounds like four years ago, doesn't it, ed. ed: els elizabeth warren is campaigning here in iowa after being sidelined along with fellow senators like bernie sanders and amy klobuchar. she's trying to make in-roads with vote he's as some polls show her trailing behind the top tier. allysia is live in iowa city, iowa. you allysia. >> reporter: senator warren just took the stage here at west high school in iowa city. she is one of three trying to make up for time not spent on the trial, time that she actually really needed. this is a candidate who saw her popularity really rise and peak at the end of the summer, only to see it then decline. earlier today she was in cedar rapids where she added a new element to her speech, a message
2:34 pm
of unity for the he democratic party. thanked her fellow competitors, those still in the race, and those who dropped out. >> people got in this out of an act of service to our country and some different ideas about how to do it, but all wanting us to build a better america. and we're down to the final strokes here but understand, we will, we must come together as a party and beat donald trump! >> reporter: warren is celebrating her 1 millionth individual donor and thanking volunteers for pushing her to be a better candidate. she needs energy and support, her campaign has been here for the last year and they'll see if the time and effort has paid off. here's a look at the real clear politics average of polls. you can see she is in fourth
2:35 pm
place, behind mayor pete buttigieg. polling is super tough which means we could be surprised by who gets the launch you out of the hawk eye state. this should give you an indication of how busy senator warren is today, no selfie lines today. she's asking supporters to understand but it's only group photos from now on at this stage of the game. she said her husband and her dog, bailey, will stick around to take all of the selfies that folks want. ed. ed: allysia, thank you for that. so bailey the dog is out there in full force in addition to the candidates. let's bring in our political panel, marie harp, and byron york, chief political correspondent for the washington examiner, fox news contributors. glad to have you back. >> thehappy tobe back. ed: you saw you nodding your head where elizabeth warren was talking unity and let's focus on beating donald trump.
2:36 pm
easier said than done. >> easier said than done. but if there is anything that can unite democrats and some independent, it is donald trump. particularly after this impeachment process where it has been clear how dangerous he is in office for most democrats. so i think that is the argument. elizabeth warren very interesting, ed, here, being the one to talk about unity, may be saying, look, you may be a of progressive, you may like me and you may like bernie but he's not helping to unify the party. ed: you can react to that with elizabeth warren who is in a feud for a while, trying to talk about unity. president trump was on the ground in th iowa, he had thouss of people lined up to see him, they didn't think he was a danger to the country. >> the one popular line for any democratic candidate is we want to defeat donald trump, everybody cheers. donald trump is not ignoring
2:37 pm
iowa. there are republican caucuses on monday night and of course the president's going to win absolutely overwhelmingly, a huge landslide. the reason he's paying attention is not because he feels like he has to win the caucuses, it's because he's working on the general election right now. ed: he beat hillary clinton by 150,000. >> barack obama won this state in 2008 and 2012. and trump turned it around in 2016 and so he not only visited on thursday, he has a whole a-list of surrogates coming here for the caucuses, they'll be appearing at caucuses all around the state. this is his family, cabinet members, pretty much everybody except him and the vice president. >> i should point out though, in 2018, in the midterms democrats flipped two house seats in iowa, almost flipped a third one in defeating steve king and there's an important senate race in november as well. it's about the president and about joanie ernst bench net's
2:38 pm
seat. ed: -- bennett's seat. ed: react to what bernie sanders was saying, that i can bring new people to the table. some say he will never win a general election. could this be a mirror image of donald trump when people were dismissing the idea that he could never win a general election. he got the base to turn out in record numbers. could bernie sanders do that on the left if he wins iowa, new hampshire and gets the l nomination? >> certainly in 2015 and 2016 there were members of the republican establishment who once they began to take trump seriously thought about changing the rules to try stop him, thought about coming up with nuclear option of an advertising blitz, thought about -- ed: keep it out of the debates, they tried. >> get the other candidates united against him, all sorts of things that did not work. and i think you have a similar situation with sanders in the sense that it's not they're not taking him seriously, they clearly are, because he has such
2:39 pm
a trouble making capacity. but there are all these voters out here and they've loyal to him for four years and they have a grudge four years old. ed: from what happened and they feel like it was rigged. let's get back to the question of unity. democrats will try to come out of iowa and say we're going to get along, we heard about warren talking about that, other democrats, buttigieg as well, but hillary clinton is hanging around and she cooperated with a podcast, called your primary play list. she talked about bernie sanders unifying the party or not. listen. >> he can do it, for one. [ laughter ] >> that's not our experience from 2016. ed: she went on to say that bernie sanders supporters she felt like were disrespectful to democratic party leaders like john lewis at the convention, shouting people down and they were disrespectful. i'm trying to understand. you're talking unity. elizabeth warren is talking
2:40 pm
unity. hillary clinton is saying he didn't help me in 2016, doesn't sound like unity. >> she's right, a lot of bernie supporters are nasty to women online, to female candidates. she's not wrong but it's also not particularly helpful right now. we're entering a phase where we're in iowa. we'll be in new hampshire next week and then we go to nevada and south carolina where joe biden is likely to win. then we go to super tuesday where michael bloomberg is on the ballot. the democratic party has a lot of work to do to sort this out in the next few weeks or months. i'm mad that hillary lost. i'm mad that bernie didn't help her now. we need to he focus on 2020, not 2016. i feel pretty strongly about that. ed: byron is smiling. >> that's the hillary cackleeee all know and love. these are old complaints and they don't look good. if we heard jeb bush complaining
2:41 pm
about donald trump, he was mean to him in the primaries, it doesn't sound good at all. she lost. she's not going to run again. she's been out of this for a while. she doesn't need to publicly complain about it. ed: we appreciate your insights and joining us this weekend. >> thank you. ed: one of the most emotional moments in nba history, in american history, as we weigh what happened, lakers fans coming together to honor basketball legend kobe bryant, a look at last night's tri about and what is the faa is revealing about the deadly helicopter crash that killed him and eight hours. we'll -- eight others. we'll have more on that coming up.y- liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i waited to get treated. thought surgery was my only option. but then i found out about nonsurgical treatments.

ed: the big game kicks off in a little more than 24 hours. the 49ers facing off against the chiefs. joining me now, former nfl player, jeremy lincoln. he played for the bears, the seahawks, the giants and the lions. good day to see you, mr. lincoln. how are you? >> ed, good to be here. glad you had me on. ed: it's good to have you. we talked about andy reid being the coach for the chiefs, he's never won the big game, he's got a compelling personal story, losing a son. coach shanahan, pretty interesting as well. he is trying to carve out his own legacy. >> coach reid, the challenges he's gone through and like you said, dealing with his son and the situation like that, to be able to grind it out and also,
2:53 pm
you know, possibly win his first one, i think everybody is somewhat, somehow, maybe you're not rooting for the chiefs but you're t rooting for coach reid. he was coaching when i was playing in the late '90s and early 2000s and coach shanahan, he came out of his father's shadow, the shadow is not that long because the father is somewhat behind him a little bit. ed: he's been in the sky box, cheering him out. he's been there every step of the way. >> yes. , yes. >>yes.he's a proud father, a prd moment for the shanahan family as well. ed: we're showing video of coach reid on the screen, with patrick mahomes as quarterback, he was mvp last year, some people say he'll be in the running this year. lamar jackson may having to say about that of course. talk about you as a retired cornerback. you've got a quarterback like
2:54 pm
mahomes, this fearsome kansas city offense, my eyes were opened to the san francisco defense, they've got a strong offense but the san francisco defense, can they stop mahomes? >> you know, as a corner, you want to say hey, get there, only got three seconds to cover these guys, you know. you get to four, five, seconds, and that quarterback can run around and make things happen. it's tough on the corners. it's tough on the safeties. with the great defensive line, they built through the draft, meaning the 49ers, you hope to get there before guys and sometimes you need to bring in the pressure. it's where do you pick your poison. they've got a lot of speed on the outside and it's going of to be a challenge for the 49ers' secondary. ed: the game being on fox, we've been talking about it all week long. where do you come down as a former cornerback? you see the promo right there. last year there was grumbling by some of us offensive minded folks about how there weren't a
2:55 pm
lot of touchdowns. some say that's the beauty of the game. where do you come down on that, offense versus defense? >> i'm a defensive guy, so defense wins games, wins championships, right. that's the mantra, that's the saying for us. but it's going to be a beautiful game to watch. i think you're going to see some mistakes early. teams taking two weeks off, sometimes it can hurt one team more than others. we'll see how that goes. it may start lulled and all defense and boom, we know what kansas city can do. i think it will be a pounded out thing, how the 49ers like to ground and pound pretty much and that kind of wins championship as well. ed: absolutely. >> i think it will be interesting to see how they set the chess match up and the first ten to 15 place are scripted, both sides of the ball. it will be interesting to see what -- you'll see what both defenses will do with offense to kind of set the tone.
