[♪] [♪] judge jeanine: hello and welcome to "justice," i'm judge jeanine pirro. thank you so much for giving justice a huge audience with more than 3 million plus viewers last saturday. so tonight as we gear up for super bowl sunday, let's go for another big score. on the field to help us get there tonight, republican congress manage jim jordan, mark meadows and doug collins. as well as senator tom cotton and kim letter by strassel from the "wall street journal." and trump campaign manager brad

pasd --.i want to take this oppy to thank our friends, specifically democrats nancy pelosi, adam schiff, jerry nadler and the whole unhinged lot of them for guaranteeing the reelection of president donald john trump in 2020. their nonstop hate, hypocrisy and hysteria has so exhausted us that we honestly can't wait to the re-elect him again. their political stunts have been a cholesterol waste of time and sealed his reelection. though technically it hasn't happened yet. you senators had to drag this out until next week and couldn't work through the weekend.

why? i keep asking myself why these democrats keep making liars and fools of themselves. the president is a russian asset. no, says robert mueller. the president is an illegitimate occupier says the oval. >> no, says the electoral college. the president is as described in the dossier. no says the chief judge of the fisa court as well as the department of justice. the president is a racist. no, says african-american unemployment and ben carson's opportunity zone. the president will ruin the economy. no says the stock market over and over and over again. and the latest ukraine claim? no says the best evidence, the real evidence, the transcript.

and ship * says the president -- adam schiff says the president's misconducting not be decided at the ballot box because quote we cannot be assured the vote will be fairly won. adam, are you side or do you think we are. aren't you embarrassed yet? why the democrat party, allegedly the party inclusion and openness is at this moment in time the most obstructive, non-below deductive -- be none productive group of haters can only be attributed to their kn be hate. he's only occupying space. judge jeanine: they are like a bunch of thugs gang up to

destroy the president. they use impeachment to overturn the will and the election of the american people. the funny thing is, they call the * a monarch, dictator, fascist. but they accuse the president of doing what they do every day. they have the chutzpah to complain about the senate trial when they held their case in a star chamber. they say the president's claim of executive privilege is proof of his guilt. when the whole point of the executive privilege is to

protect the constitution and the separations of powers. they look like fools fighting to get to the camera first trying to get as much face time as possible. watch schiff try to pull back nadler. >> any other comments the senate would been from it hearing before we adjourn for the evening? >> mr. chief justice, members of the senate. judge jeanine: i think i want a moratorium on the i word. i am so over impeachment. but i won't be over wednesday, they will do it again. they will find another so-called whistleblower or a foreign agent they will pay to make up lies about our president. so i say to myself, self, what

are these fools doing in congress? they could care less about user. >> immigration or heroin coming through the southern borders. they can't even give the president credit for take out two of the world's worst terrorists in a matter of weeks with know collateral damage. the commission -- the military is rebuilt, the economy is soaring. i want to thank our friends the democrats for take off their mask and exposing their hate, their condescension and their disgust for the rest of us. i also want to thank the democrats for uniting the republican party except for mitt. we didn't want mitt anyway. and i want to thank donald trump. not only for teaching the

republicans finally how to fight, but for putting up with the nonsense that he goes through every day for the rest of us to make america great. and that's my open. let me know what you think on my facebook and twitter, #judgejeanine. coming up, adam schiff resorting to one of his wishful thinking made up scenarios trying to pin something on the president that hasn't happened. >> let's say rudy does another end for the president, this one in china. he says we'll give you a favorable deal with respect to chinese farmers as opposed to american farmers. we'll betray the american farmer in the trade deal, but here is what we want.

the quid pro quo is we wanted you to do an investigation of the bidens. you know the one. the one the president has been calling for. they would say that's okay. judge jeanine: joining snow now with more, jim jordan, mark meadows, and doug collins. do you feel like it's almost over or do you feel like it's going to go on and on. that was so much like the parody he ran in the house. this guy is making up stuff. he's so over the edge. i'll start with you, congressman mark meadows. does he need a lobotomy or what? >> adam schiff not once but dozens of times making up fiction tall narratives that he's -- fiction tall narratives

he's trying to sell to the american people and they are not buying it. he will do it in his closing remarks monday, then they will start all over again because they only know how to do one thing, and that's impugn the reputation of this president and try to replace their will for the will of the american people. judge jeanine: congressman collins, schumer said it's not a real acquittal without witnesses. what do you say to senate. >> it's just a joke. you look at the process we came through. they brought 17-0 witnesses and withheld one transcript. they never had a fair process. for them to have the audacity to say this is not a fair trial with what came out of the house. i think the american people are

not watching what's happening. when you do the make-up stories schiff does. when you have chuck human were putting the integrity of the senate on trial. they knew they didn't have a case, so what they did was we'll say the republican senators are the problem, they are corrupt. we'll just blame them and that's what they are doing. judge jeanine: you try cases, anyone who tries cases knows you don't want to insult the jury. you don't want to start by saying you are part of the cover-up. i want to hear from maybe the last time. give me the four reasons why this was not a crime. hit it, jim jordan. >> first of all of, presumptions, assumptions and lies don't beat the truth and

the truth has always been on the president's side. we have the transcript. no quid pro quo in the transcript. we all read it. president zelensky and president trump said there was no linkage of the aid to any investigation. the ukrainians didn't even know the aid was on pause. and they didn't do anything. no promise of an investigation so there was never a quid pro quo. judge jeanine: were you guys embarrassed when adam schiff got when jerry nadler approached the podium allege said jerry, jerry, jerry. i felt bad for them. >> i wanted to say that for a long time. i wanted him to say stop stop stop. because it's been one painful statement after another attacking this president over

and over. and chairman nadler built up 30-40 years fighting with president trump when he was developer trump. he can't stand that president trump its successful and he did what he said he would do for the american people and that's put them first. judge jeanine: congressman meadows, i want to ask you about what we are talking about with congressman schiff. he says things all the time that aren't true. he will say things like there is a lot of evidence here or the president -- he never met with the whistleblower. his team never met with the whistleblower. >> or the fisa applications are all okay. or that he has information on russia collusion. it goes on and on and on. here is what i think we ought to do. we ought to put forth a rule in

the house that you can't impeach a president on strictly partisan lines. let's call it the trump rule. where never again does any president whether it's this president or any future president has to go through that. we'll be proposing that to make sure my colleagues will never use this as a weaponized tool to go after a sitting president. >> mark makes a good point. when they started this, september 24, nancy pelosi announced they are going to do this investigation. no one predicted a democrat would vote with us and then switch parties. you know what's going to happen wednesday? i think it will be a bipartisan vote in the senate. it doesn't matter how much disdain the left has for us.

the truth wins in the end. judge jeanine: going back to you, congressman collins. nothing can be done to schiff? he has lied in the chamber. there is no question he has lied. there is such a thing as hyperbole and exaggeration. but outright lies. do you guise play basketball or baseball together? does anybody want to play with that guy on a team? >> nobody wants to be around him especially on our side. you just don't trust him. everything he couples with is hyperbole. let me tell you what is happening. they have brought down the level of the standard for impeachment to a scary level. more importantly, they have also torn down the rules of the house so bad now they just made it hard for people to believe it. when they said we have one ends

in mind, impeach donald trump, they said we don't care how we get there. we have to raise the discourse back up sotomayor can people trust us. the democrats have no purpose and no way to win an election. they try to tear him down because all they can do is fight against him. congressman meadows, you are not going to be running again. when is your term up? >> january third of next year. i have got another year. judge jeanine: what do you think is going on in pelosi's head? do they just make believe it never happened and keep moving. >> they will come before their audience and suggest that it would have all kinds of basis in fact, yet they know the facts don't support it. but this is about nancy pelosi

staying speaker. had she not done this, she would have had a revolt in the progressives. so this is about her power and her ability to stay in control. judge jeanine: congressman jordan, will joe biden and hunter biden ever be investigated. >> it won't happen in the house. but it will be up to jurors johnson and graham. but on the house side, it will never quit. they have been going after this president since before he got elected. jean require want to congratulate the thief you for bug such staunch supporters. thanks so much. what a week ahead. the iowa caucus, the expected acquittal of a president and the

state of the union. senator tom cotton joins us live next. guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'. well now there's score!, from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. it's no wonder walmart offers score! in more locations than any other performance enhancer. unleash your potential in the bedroom, with score!.

itpatrick mahomes and then. high powered chief's offense. touchdown! face the 49ers suffocating defense. unbelievable! on the world's biggest stage.

the only place to watch it all is on fox and the fox sports app. superbowl 54. february 2nd. xfinity customers, to watch in 4k this sunday say "4k" into your x1 voice remote. >> my republican colleagues refuse to consider witnesses and dmowments this trial, the

president's acquittal will be meaningless because it will be the result after sham trial. if there are no witnesses and no documents in this trial, there will be a permanent asterisk next to the acquittal of president trump written in permanent ink. judge jeanine: that's chuck schumer blasting gop senators before the vote paving the way for the president's acquittal next week. joining us to discuss the latest in the impeachment trial, the author of the new book "sacred duty," tom cotton. chuck human were when he talks about this being a sham trial after, you know, the senate made a decision not to call witnesses. what's your take on that? >> good old chuck, jeanine. from the very beginning this

trial for chuck schumer has not been about getting donald trump out of the white house. it's about getting susan collins out of the senate. he's not going to get donald trump out of the white house and he won't get susan collins out of the senate. the democrats in washington have wasted five months of their time instead of focusing on the people's business. judge jeanine: susan collins why? >> chuck schumer said this is a win-win situation for him. either president trump is removed from office, or he thinks it's bad for republican senators who are in tough races like susan collins or cory gardner tore martha mcsally. this is for chuck about winning back the senate majority. judge jeanine: it's very

disappointing. that's the most exclusive club many would say in the world, but certainly in the country. you willv all have 10 minutes -- you will have 10 minutes to make your final statements. >> these last two weeks have been unusual in more than one way. one way in particular is that all 100 senators have had to sit silently at their disk. for a lot of these senators, it's a form of shock therapy. so they are itching to get 10 minutes of time to speak. judge jeanine: i want to talk about something serious. you were the first to actually call for a travel ban when you heard about the coronavirus and the president is instituting a travel ban. you had exceptions for americans who want to come back to this country as long as there were limits in making sure everyone

who came back was examined. but we have 8 cases in the united states, the latest in massachusetts. and one of these people, i believe just came back from china. aren't we quarantining these people? >> i want to commend the president for decisive actions to try to arrest the spread of coronavirus in the united states. i have been following this matter very closely the last two weeks. earlier this week i sent a letter to the administration and smoke the president and vice president this week urging them to halt entry into the united states for chinese nationals or anyone who has been in chain @last two weeks. if they have went in "vicinity of the outbreak, we'll monitor them for 14 days.

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. judge jeanine: do you think the chinese government has been honest with us in terms of how they identified this virus? and do we ebb know where it's from? >> absolutely not. it's well documented the chinese communist party cracked down on doctors who tried to sound alarm on social media in late december. at the very time of this virus spreading, the chinese communist party when they shared the news with the world health organization, they were crack down on difficult strength in the their own one -- crack down on dissent in their own country. '. the chinese people are the victims of this.

we need to develop a vaccine. >> do you think we'll be able to do it in time? >> i have high hopes. some of the world's best scientists and medical researchers work in some of the most amazing laboratories and companies here in the united states. we are work on tracing and monitoring people who have been to china in the last month, they need to start manhattan-level effort because there are so many unthose. when there are so many unthose, it's best to err on the side of caution. judge jeanine: my concern people coming through the west coast and hawaii. i want to ask you quickly. do you think the democrats are going to stop or do you think they will continue to try to

impeach this president? >> i don't think they will ever surrender the goal of trying to remove this president from office. i don't know if they can get up * articles before november. f after november if they still control the house of representatives, they will do it again. judge jeanine: senator tom cotton, thanks so much for being with us. my next guest says in the end the impeachment trial came down to one be question. kimberley strassel joins me next

judge jeanine: the dems' impeachment circus is almost over. author of the book, "resistance at all costs," kim strassel joins me now with more. you wrote an excellent article crying wolf on impeachment thursday. i believe it is -- you talk about the consequences of this. and the fact that what the left

has done is by creating this non-impeachable offense, they somewhat lost their credibility. why don't you elaborate on that. >> well, look. i think part of this is what's saw happen this week is we had a very deliberately timed release about john bolton. it was put out there specifically to rattle republicans and make them believe the democratic media narrative that it was their obligation to call witness and keep going or it will hurt them politically. what you saw happen was the republicans came back to some core truths that had been there since the very beginning. one was this was a fundamentally flawed process that had come to them from the house. and no amount of witnesses would correct that, the secret hearings, et cetera. i think they realize as voiced

by lamar alexander, even if you took the scenario about what people were claiming john bolton would say, it didn't rise to the level of being something that was i am peachable. that's -- that was impeachable. that's why you saw the republicans do the right thing. judge jeanine: the manuscript came from the "new york times" within hours of the preorders on amazon. that was shabby. i don't know what role he played that timing. but it's not good and i was disappointed in him. we keep repeating the proof is the transcript is the best evidence. everything else is superfluous. >> you heard congressman jordan,

i always love to hear his four points. those four points remained relevant all through these months and will be the most relevant aspects when you have the senate move for acquittal this week. judge jeanine: nancy pelosi made the mistake of saying she would only do it fit was bipartisan and compelling. where does this leave nancy pelosi? >> all these democrats complaining about the way the process went. they caused it. this was a mistake of their own make. when you go out there and yell cover-up enough times again and again. pretty soon the alarm bells go off in republican senators' heads. they realized no platt wear they did, they could call 20 witnesses and they would still be accused of a cover-up.

donald trump will be acquitted so they have to claim was the result of an unfair trial. from now until november they will go back and continue dig up more things and investigating. but the risk to them again is american voters want to know what would come with democratic leadership. and you have had no sense of that for the last year despite them running the house because they have been too involved in this. that's the risks splitio especio their more vulnerable members. judge jeanine: how is the sham

judge jeanine: the countdown to the iowa caucuses is on as the dems make their final push.

i sat down with trump 2020 campaign manager brad parscale. brad, thanks for being us. i know you are beginning a very busy time for you and the campaign. impeachment, what's going on, how is that impacting the campaign. do does it cause you to do something differently? >> it's bringing in so much money? the fundraising is out of this world. we raised $463 million last year which is a record. the president is continuing to have a great fundraising month. every metric we have shows the president up since this happened. judge jeanine: how do you identify his impeachment over whatever the issue of the day is.

>> we send out emails and ask people to fundraise off different items. we can see the wallets open up over impeachment. emails, text messages, communications about impeachment. judge jeanine: the money you have for the reelection 2020 how does that it compare? >> we have $200 million. we didn't even start fundraising last time until john. we are way, way way ahead of the game. judge jeanine: the polls last time didn't matter. how are you going to campaign differently if at all. this time the president is the president, and he's not the underdog people didn't think was going to win. >> i don't get asked that a lot.

but there are two things that are significantly different. our ground game operation is night and day. we are in 17 states. new hampshire, nevada, minnesota. we are going to be ready in all the states. we want to win back the house and we are working with the party. judge jeanine: why only 17? >> that's one of the largest maps ever of being active on the ground. we look at the states, ohio. florida. then arizona. you now it's pretty much in there. then you have the expansion maps like minnesota where the budget in all of 016 was $35,000. now it's tens of millions. we only lost that by.5%.

-- by 1.5%. >> how many states did you lose in 2016? >> i have to think about that. it was about 30. judge jeanine: the ones you lost, how do you go back at them. if you go to arizona, guns are important in arizona or healthcare. hugh do you see -- how do you decide? >> our map is expanding. last time we had to give up on states like virginia to give up on wisconsin. we have a much wired like the president going into new mexico. nevada, colorado. the states are still there.

several states the president lost in 2016 that are in much better position for 2020. the number one policy is chinese trade deals in new mexico. the people of the state recognize that. judge jeanine: the problem is the president is doing all these great things and they are saying impeachment, impeachment. >> i will tell you. i think them only talk about big government socialist policies and impeachment has given a vacuum to that independent voter. the one that says while they are talking about that, the president is talk about jobs. he's make the country safer. curbing immigration. and talk about healthcare itself. we can be out there talking to them while they are obsessed with impeachment. judge jeanine: the last time

president trump ran against hillary clinton. they say some of his vulnerabilities are the suburban woman. how does he shoirp that suburban woman vote and is it as bad as they say it is. >> i think suburban women across the country don't like politicians. they don't approve of any of them. that's one. the second thing is the president in 2016 won 50% of his vote where people disapproved of him. approval and voting are two different things. me up wife doesn't always approve of me, but she'll vote for me. that's -- approval -- how can you approve everything donald trump is doing. judge jeanine: michael

bloomberg, he's willing to put his money in against donald trump whether or note's the candidate. >> i can tell you he's not even -- he can't beat mayor pete or pocahontas. i am also not worried about soft money. judge jeanine: who do you run against? >> i would love to run against warren. judge jeanine: who is the toughest? >> i think the two-way race is between bind and bernie. d between biden and bernie. biden seems to have a ceiling. judge jeanine: who does the president not want to run against? >> the president will run against all of them at one time.

yeah, yeah yeah. i said warren was a lot tougher and i think things change. judge jeanine: get out the chips, the dip and the wings and maybe even a beer. we'll preview

6. judge jeanine: we are just hours from the start of super bowl 54 between the san francisco 49ers and the kansas city chiefs. casey, we are less than 24 hours away. what are people most excited about? are they excited about the game? are they excited about halftime? are they excited about the commercials? is it jay lo or shakira? are they singing together? >> i don't know. the atmosphere is absolutely incredible. i am personally excited. you mentioned the wings and the

dips. i am look forward to the calories that don't count. i think people are genuinely excited about this matchup. i was fortunate to talk to football hall of famers. and they are so amped up about this matchup. you have got these awesome young quarterbacks. you have got the defense in the 49ers and offense in the kansas city chiefs. you have kyle shanahan making his coaching debut. his father decorated with two super bowl titles. it will be a great matchup. judge jeanine: you covered sports in kansas city and i understand you also cover the new england patriots when jimmy garoppolo was on that team? >> jimmy gq when he was in

boston, he was behind tom brady. he has two super bowl rings at home. but he wants out there on the field. you have a young coach in kyle shanahan. so it's easy to root for the 49ers. last time they were here we went to the moon, i am a philly girl so i'm rooting for andy reid to get a ring for himself. judge jeanine: i was a kobe bryant fan. i am still sick about it. is there going to be any kind of tribute at the super bowl for kobe bryant? >> that tragedy struck everyone on so many different levels. nine lives lost. kobe bryant was a beacon who

transcended basketball. reaching out to his family and wife vanessa. roger goodell the commissioner said kobe bryant was an amazing person, we'll do something. and jay lo will do something. judge jeanine: i will live through this vicariously through you. thanks for being with us. say hi to your grandma. you can catch up kacie and the rest of the foxnation gang. rest of the foxnation gang. let's check out foxnation tthe bad news? ouyour patience might not.ay. depend® fit-flex underwear offers your best comfort and protection guaranteed. because, perfect or not, life's better when you're in it. be there with depend®.
