>> let's be clear, this means that this trial was a sham. >> everyone of these republicans should be held accountable for them obstructing justice, they will be seen leaving this trial. >> it's really shameful and an episode in our history that will be known for many, many years. >> you cannot accuse this guy for cheating every time he beat you or you look like sore loser.

>> the democrats have a pathetic attempt over trump state of the union address. and to ruin super bowl we stand for the rest of us. >> the leaked manuscript with their roles saying it's a terrible turncoat. >> i think very little of the man that i once known because he has turned his back on the president. he turns out to be a petty snarling guy. here's the conclusion i can come to pray he is a back stopper. republicans in washington are shocked to discover he has betrayed his former boss donald trump, they should not be shocked. that is who john bolton is. come on the show john bolton your country wants to hear from you and i would like to hear from you. if you have a story you would like to tell the people, come on the show.

>> i don't like the idea of people making john bolton out to be a liar, he is not a liar so many commentators have flipped on the former national security advisor. as iowa tomorrow the caucuses, the media is worried that bernie sanders could work under win the nomination. >> right there mark joins us live in iowa. in super bowl sunday between the san francisco 49ers and the kansas city chiefs and the tragic death of kobe bryant not to mention impeachment. i am however, this is "mediabuzz". ♪

when did it become clear the impeachment will be wrapped up after the new york times got access to john bolton's manuscript after the pressure to republican senators to allow witnesses and a gop back the effort. everyone knew his game over. the president and democratic leader reflected in the media coverage are going impeachment or the trial itself has been a tragedy. >> i just got impeached, i got impeached. they want to know, poison our democracy and overthrow the entire system of government, that is not happening i can tell you that. >> this country is headed towards the greatest cover-up since watergate. the president's acquittal will be meaningless because it will be the result of a sham trial. >> joining us now to analyze the coverage of matthew continetti with the american enterprise institute. susan for ratio the correspondent for the washington

examiner, and capri cafaro the executive resident at american resident. along with the democrats they are not only calling the president certain acquittal a tragedy, they are saying it almost does not count because the trial had no witnesses, do you think the left leaning are demoralizing. >> they are backed into the double standard which we often see. if the trial was a sham what was the impeachment? because the question in the trial was our we going to have witnesses. in the witnessing question that they wanted were not called by the house. do you see the double standard there in the double standard of the treatment of pelosi versus mcconnell. >> they argued that they were left by the administration. >> they did not go to court. you also see the double standard of the treatment of the managers versus the president's lawyers. philbin is just as good a lawyer as adam schiff but shifts adam schiff gets all the coverage.

>> doesn't have it a bit of an aroma of sour grapes and how the media is on trump's impeachment and conviction. >> i think it shows you how invested the media is in their particular point of view. if you take a look at how the conservative media covered the house portion of this impeachment, it was this is a sham, this is a partisan witch-hunt and hearing during the basement of the house, no transparency. now the shoe is on the other foot the impeachment process has been the gop -controlled senate and now you see left-wing media saying the same kind of thing. a partisan sham, no due process, it is a rigged trial, no witnesses. so i think both aspects of the media are trained to follow a narrative that backs up their own individual partisan meeting.

>> the final vote is scheduled for wednesday a day after, some of the media trying to keep ukraine allegations a life and i don't just mean through wednesday. even though the trial has an obvious outcome. to keep the story alive for the trump reelection campaign. >> let's see if they can do that. there are a thousand new cycles between now and the election. so much can happen. it all depends on the democrats talking about more and more allegations coming out, more evidence coming out and you can be sure the media will promote that stuff and paint a picture that the trial was unfair because more information is coming on rocketing a thorough airing of all the charges, that's definitely a possibly. >> just before the trial on friday they added a a second sty that backing me two months before the perfect phone call with vladimir zelensky that trump asked him, bolton to contact ukraine's leader and meet with rudy giuliani and discuss the investigation the

president wanted on the bidens and burisma. president and rudy giuliani denying this, is not a big story? >> it's worth reporting and it will be another story when his book drops. but senators life lamar alexander even if everything bolton said is true, it does not amount to an impeachable offense. all of these bombs are only blowing up in washington, d.c. once you go outside the beltway people are confused and uninterested in the story. >> are you outside the vote way? >> people are not necessarily talking about this yet they're concerned about the primaries and watching things like iowa and new hampshire. they are generally dismissive of this entire process, i think they see the media bias and there is a lot that is making people to now. they feel this is a done deal and we know the verdict and outcome is going to be acquittal so they wanted done.

>> we have known the outcome since a beginning but the media treated the latest polls a bombshell. critics and new york times is pushing this but in the manuscript news in the manuscripts if they got a hold of. >> there is no question this is been the topic. i think we will see what happens. i think it's interesting john bolton has not come forward even folks like vanity fair are not taking debate to get on tv. >> he is welcome want to be but he does not want to take that step. let me read the president's tweet, i never instructed don bolton to set up a meeting with rudy giuliani. that meeting never happened. but he says the people in the senate were also there. it seems a little strange that on a leaked account of the manuscript would not the exact quote. >> what really bothers me about the coverage, exactly that. you saw a lot of these in the early mueller stories where we really know what's going on,

it's an interpretation. news and stories aren't often an interpretation by a reporter. in this case it can be particularly dangerous. we don't even know what to manage scope says. i don't know if the reporter ran the many script but my understand there getting translation from someone else who had the manuscript. >> if you don't know the source you don't know their agenda. you also don't know the context and the exact wording and i'm not saying this is going to turn out differently what weird he know bolton is saying sounds logical. but we don't know what the full quotes are but we will find out. >> i pixel but he will sell a lot of books. we should know the white house has a copy of the book and everybody will be worried about classified information and say that's not what the book said. how is it that any conservative commentators, we sell this at the top are announcing him as a snake when he's been such an

icon in going back to his days as acting unit basilar in these years is fox news contributor. how is it that turn has been so dramatic. >> i think it's a question of timing. the release of this book bolton is following the comey president who releases tell all in the middle of the presidential election rather than a precedent of bob gates to come out with evidence of obama's presidency. it is a feeling of betrayal on a lot of concerns. you would note frederick carlson had consistent. [laughter] he did not like bolton before and he does not like it now. >> let me put up the presidents tweets about john bolton full throated and attacking. a guy who cannot get approved for the ambassador to the un years ago, the bush administration could not get approved for anonymous senate approved job gets fired because

frankly we would be in world war six by now and goes out and immediately writes a nasty and untrue book. i don't know what happened world war iii but are the conservative meeting following the lead in saying bolton, who the president hired, is some terrible guy. >> the wheel is still spinning on whose side he will land on. i am hearing from the other side, he needs to go to the microphone and say what he knew. since there's no calls for him to testify in the senate. >> so he could be vilified by both sides in the end because he could've done more in the impeachment trial to show the president the allegations are true and the other side at least he's created the scare of suspicion. >> let's turn to the components on the left, there was a warmonger, a knife yielding bureau kat and other praising him as only mannequin save the

republic. >> the other argument for the view at the time is what they will actually do. even publications that are very well known on the left are now talking about john bolton sitting there saying and looking to him as someone who has integrity and believe his word as previously in the bush administration he was public enemy number one along with carl rose and cheney. it is what is convenient for the argument now. >> it all has to do with trump. this does not matter where you stood before. all that matters is where you stand in relationship to trump today. >> i agree with that. >> a list of people in different circumstances, racks, or jeff sessions or anthony or omarosa or the president has turned on all those or they have been acquitted or whatever it's a most like the bottling. >> the one thing that i found in the mainstream media, they love

a crossover someone who is on the republican side and now crossing over against trump. they become the favorite. -- >> strange new respect for somebody who evolves not so much going in the other way. >> anthony did an op-ed today saying he was swept under the bus about john bolton for the washington post. >> and he also threw his former boss under the bus saying he's terrible we should defeat him and was wrong about trump. >> real quick six minutes from now how does diastolic, will the impeachment in the acquittal proceeding history or will it be a remaining issue in the campaign. >> if you look at the polls now it is divided along party lines, i don't expect that to change but there's one thing i tell you looking back to the clinton impeachment. people say that was a net loss for the republicans.

but the next election cycle was al gore's time and he did not let bill clinton campaign on with him. some people forget about this, he went back and said while the impeachment did have a lasting effect let me get a break and when we come back alan dershowitz on the media as he gets hammered on the impeachment defense as a senator. and right there martha mccallum from iowa. roven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. but how do i know if i'm i'm getting a good deal? i tell truecar my zip and which car i want and truecar shows the range of prices people in my area actually paid for the same car so i know if i'm getting a great price. this is how car buying was always meant to be. this is truecar.

the incident has been fully contained. breaking news and we will bring you updates as we get them. >> a whole lot of folks in the media are vilifying alan dershowitz, the liberal law professor who joined the trump legal team and told the senate there is no impeachable offense if he has mixed motive. >> the president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment. >> that's not as nuts as you think it is. there might be lawyers that make the sound more normal -- if you're arguing the president who wants to get reelected so anything he does torts that is cool, that is just nuts. >> he is saying you cannot impeach a president when there is some sort of mixed national

security interest with the political interest. if you make the argument essentially any president can be impeached. >> allen church with is getting hammered by mainly liberal media what was interpreted as his telling them the senate can do virtually anything and not be impeached. if he thinks it justifies his reelection which he believes to be in the public interest. >> you can tell i think he did not put his point as well as he might have because he went to twitter and social media to elaborate with a lot of negative coverage. what he was trying to say in the absence of the crime is retired and passed impeachment it becomes very difficult to disentangle what corrupt motives are of a president trying for pursue public proxy. >> alan dershowitz has been on this campaign and he tweeted among other things at cnn, msnbc and other media willfully distorted my answers. the counter what he had to say was ambiguous. >> this is been pretty well covered.

the fact that alan dershowitz has gone to all the media outlets in saying his words have been changed around, that very well may be the case however, but the one problem with that is that many republican senators are actually referencing alan dershowitz argument as a reason of a statement for for taking it was clear enough for members of the united states senate are taken as certain way and now obviously he is tried to clarify that. >> he told chris wallace's morning speaking of the media, how dare they dance to respond. but he has been on every cable news channel on cnn. >> it was a total distortion, not misunderstanding, distortion of my point, it is nonsense and/or network should have never said that i said it repeatedly. >> we were only playing the clips from what you actually said on the floor. >> there is a problem there. the clips.

i think it was oversimplified, i was there when he presented the arguments. you can hear how you could pick out little pieces of apparatus all the twitter headlines in the major newspaper saying alan dershowitz is arguing he's using his own reelection to motivate himself to ukraine is a national under national interest. that is a real oversimplification of what he was saying but it goes to the fact that it's very hard to present the arguments and what they were traded to the senate trial is very carefully tell the senators you cannot say there is a smidgen of personal interest that would be impeachable because you have to go back and impeach all presidents including president obama who decided not to bomb syria for his own political motive. >> they are tweeting that your playing defense to play mildly. less than a minute left, were going to i went a few moments

saying no one's very excited about the democratic primaries and for foreign half years the main event has been donald trump, not policy, he is the issue and you relate that to a lack of interest or excitement in the democrats. >> days leading up to iowa democrats were even making the front page of the iowa newspaper in the caucuses tomorrow. now it matters more than parties or campaigns and there is no more powerful name the donald trump. >> i agree with that. i think were out of the world of partisanship about alliance to personality. >> of course the democrats have somebody that dominance the president and we will find out on monday night. capri cup aro we will see you later susan, and matthew continetti thank you for joining us. why do they think it's okay to ridicule trump supporters in another escalation about mike pompeo and indi mdr ♪

>> a fierce critic of president trump has been taking plenty of media slop for the abuse reaction. to panelist of his are absolutely trashing trump supporters. >> that is partly him and playing to their base and their audience that backs donald trump. donald trump is a smart one -- the latest with your geography and your spelling at least they know where ukraine is. [laughter] sorry i apologize.

>> there were a few things i find more offensive the ridicule not the president who is always fair game but those who support him bigoted, racist yahoos. by the way 45% support trump's in recent polls, are they all idiots? he didn't say those things and later tried to walk it back saying he never belittles people for their believes he was laughing at a joke he found funny. but as the josé should he challenged his guests why he thought it was fine and dandy to mark so many americans pray that's where he fell short. >> president trump attack fox news tweeting it is really pathetic that the network is trying to be politically correct by loading the airways with democrats after swiping at host saying this will be the beginning of the end for fox just like the other two which are dying in the ratings. i'll just make two points, the democrats during the impeachment trial or any other time is for journalism. as for the future fox just

finished the 18th straight year as the top-rated cable news network by far. odd are we will be around for a while. i want to update mike pompeo and mdr he berated mary louise kelly after she asked him about ukraine and said she lied setting up the interview. but kelly said she did not violate any ground rules when pompeo's prostate wrote we would like to stick to iran as the topic opposed to jumping around and kelly responded i am indeed back from tehran and played to start there. also ukraine and who knows what the news got will circle overnight. i never agree to take anything off the table. >> kelly who disputes their subsequent argument off argument was right. but still pompeo got a pat on his back from his boss. >> the staff reporter could not have done too good of a job would you say that. [laughter] >> a good job on her actually. >> meanwhile pompeo escalated by

taking another reporter off the plane on his trip ukraine. unfair retaliation against the news organization. ahead today super bowl and kobe bryant with the fox interview with president trump. are they treating bernie sanders as a front runner in iowa, bret baier in martha maccallum as they are on deck in des moines. ♪

>> the last day before the iowa caucuses in most of the media is about a man who was a real threat to the nomination, bernie sanders. >> the party better wake up. if they think the faces of the party that are going to be donald trump's bernie sanders and aoc, they are smoking something. >> bernie sanders, the democratic establishment, the

more you talk to bernie sanders, the more -- >> they are colluding against bernie sanders, they did that in 2016. >> something newsworthy, bernie sanders became a democrat front runner, we did not think that was going to happen. he just had a heart attack. >> joining us from des moines bret baier and local anchor and special report martha maccallum host of the special impeachment coverage. brett i will start with you, front page headline in today's washington post. senders and an specter of socialism. >> bernie sanders whose ahead and several recent polls and virtually tied nationally with joe biden in a wall street journal nbc survey has a potential nominee meaning he's finally getting cover scrutiny. >> i think so. in part because the democratic party establishment is saying wait a second period the sirens are going off, the flares are shooting up and they are realizing that he very well

could ra when here in iowa and hamster. >> i was at a rally 400 people, a lot of young people, he has not changed his speech, a little bit about impeachment but not much. it's the same bernie. as he says i'm the original. , that is his deal. and he still has some dried here and i were from 2016 if they believed him. >> that was a good impersonation. [laughter] i think most of them have been giving bernie a past for example elizabeth warren got rid of cold >> one of the interesting things underway with the press in everybody covering the story. there is a battle over how to read the outcome tomorrow night and whether or not the sanders folks are going to try to make it look like he wins on the first-round or whether or not

the early reporting in the first-round will swamp the rest of the story and guide people away from the caucus sites because they think it's over. there is such a bottle going on in terms of reporting and coverage in the way it should be covered and all of the candidates are putting out tomorrow night in order to make sure the door slams open to the very end of the process. i think that is fascinating, how much energy there is in fear you can feel on the democratic side about what the outcome is going to be, four years later bernie sanders issue is front and center once again just like it was in 2016. it will be really fascinating to watch a. >> as i mentioned you anchor the network special impeachment coverage in the senate trial. do you believe that saturation level of coverage has an effect in most of the iowa campaign coverage until this weekend? >> i do.

i think it suck a lot of the oxygen out of the room. a lot of networks took a lot of the coverage and that was the talk of the day. now as it drags on to what looked like an acquittal vote, obviously on wednesday you still have days of coverage even in the middle of this. i do think the iowa caucus will make a comeback as far as coverage. this in itself is really fascinating even one, two or three is really going to affect the field. >> you not only had endless hours of the trial itself but you had of course bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar stop in washington have to trauma a bit to speak although the postadjusted it didn't hurt bernie that much to be out of iowa. >> while they were stuck in washington handling the impeachment trial their numbers

improved and the interesting thing, joe biden was in iowa campaigning all that time and everyone assume that would give him an advantage, he appears to have weakened over the course of that time. even if you look into the south carolina, his numbers are slipping in south carolina. what is happening to joe biden and whether or not he is in south carolina, i think we won't know until people cast their vote and caucus. it is a big storyline to follow in all of the. >> nicely set up my next question joe biden reported on special report he has defied a year of negative press and many people predicting he would collapse the 20 got the race and yet here he is strong position in iowa, we don't know how it'll come out along with sanders. why do you think the president is largely misjudged in my view biden in his staying power.

>> i think they wanted to make a storyline and it was an easy story to tell. if you look at his crowds, his performances and obviously under attack by the president and the administration in the impeachment hearing and trials. so they kind of fit. but the fact that he had this power suggest if he wins here in iowa he is likely going to bounce to new hampshire in the south carolina firewall could be oliver before milwaukee. >> indeed if that happens. i think biden has immigrated he's too old and not liberal not for the party but it turns out the party might be more moderate than everybody thinks. but also we have people to judge, elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar will put their dibs on iowa and they all need a solid showing. a lot of people have different

percentages and how many delegates to win and the rules of it, located. >> the new rules that govern the caucus reporting tomorrow night there is a lot more transparency along the way. in the first-round we will get results from the first-round than the realignment round where people look if your candidate is below 50% you will look around the room and joined with another group. and then the delegate round which is the third round. you could've potentially with three different people claiming they won the caucus and all of that was part of the battle that happened after the 2016 election. in bernie sanders between hillary clinton and the party does not want that to happen again in another confronted with the search by bernie sanders and some of the democratic party that needs to put in bumper rails so he does not get the

nominee. >> chris said he would like three different winners in the contesting convention. i'm not sure if he's going to get that. [laughter] >> of course the democratic party those who do not want the socialist nominee to aggressively against sanders that could cause a backwash. finally, we do this every four years the media always gives a big boost to the iowa by ten or 12 votes and that gives you a head of steam going to new hampshire and the numbers may or may not start to change. but the criticism is grown a lot, why do we in this business put so much emphasis on the first caucus in a place that is largely wide and not representative of the country. >> there is obviously arguments both ways. the people in iowa would say they value is privilege to be able to screen the candidates and a lot of them have them in their living room, a lot of them

have been to coffee shops where there's ten and 12 people. they really screen these candidates along the way. it is a lot of retail politics. i talked to somebody who has been studying and still undecided between biden and warren and says he will make up his mind monday night. >> i love how serious the people of iowa take it. >> i agree. when you look at the outcome down the road i don't think the iowa ends up holding a disproportionate say in the matter. only jimmy carter and barack obama went on to win on iowa and then to actually win the white house as well. but it does give you playing field you get to see all of these players really go all in and i think the rest of the country gets to witness that as well. i was at andrew yang's last night and talk to people who voted for trump last time around, talk to people who are undecided between joe biden and andrew yang. these folks are paying very close attention and they love

the part that their state in the process and i think it makes it really interesting to watch tomorrow night. >> give a shout out to candidates who don't have a lot of money or name recognition. this is fascinating. i look forward to tier coverage for my weaponry to give very much. good to see you. after the break, what is it like covering the craziness on the hill during the president's trial. behind the scene look after this. get ready for the insurance-themed experience of a lifetime. it's "progressive on ice." everything you love about car insurance -- the discounts... the rate comparisons... and flo in a boat. ♪ insurance adventure awaits at "progressive on ice." tickets not available now or ever.

cameras aren't showing it which they were not. the rest of us did not see it. you cannot live tweet it. again you can step out of the room and get your phone and tweet it. >> there has been a lot of complaint in journalism that we are set up by mitch mcconnell recovering the trial. how does that affect you. >> first of all i been there for several decades, it's never in the public interest to restrict access. the capital is one of the best listening post in america if not the world. only because we have pretty much unfettered access pre-we push back hard against the restrictions and having to live through now, i was limited, there were times where we did miss out on conversations. >> rather than being wherever we wanted on the second floor of the capital where the senators me in the chamber we were behind votes and two or three areas. and what that did was allow the

senators to control, we had to be spoonfed the information. instead of us talking to particular people, they sent their messengers out. both parties did this print and they said what they had to say that moment. >> on that point chuck schumer was author and a lot of it taking life. with some of the republican senators especially lamar alexander, mitt romney, susan collins on the defense for the witnesses can attract reporters like you. >> we would catch them in the basement, these were such strict hours, we did end up talking to mitt romney and susan collins and we would find them at different hours. a lot of us regulars know where they are. early morning and later in the day we were able to catch them but it did allow them to get a lot of the coverage and the mob coverage that happens during the news events on the hill. >> and you showed up with

rather be right here right now. that's how i feel. >> the super bowl is always huge, the commercials, parties, but since the two week media with the impeachment trial, no tom brady or other big celebrity star, is there less excitement about the game itself between the 49ers and the chiefs? >> i think there has been less of a buzz unless excitement i don't know due to impeachment, that could be part of it or kobe bryant and sports fans depressed over that news. and what has transpired across the country. and maybe the whole thing going on across the nation, america needs right now the super bowl . they need to see the joy of patrick mahomes, they want to hug andy reid who has dedicated his right to football and they have to love the approach of jimmy go opera. and i really think america could sit back and let us enjoy make this a joyous occasion and hope we will have a great game and everybody will be spot on tomorrow because the country

could use it. >> i am with you on that. i scoured the coverage in controversy with some people being upset about the tomahawk chop it seems like both teams were not trying to make much news or stirring thing up in the media interviews. >> sometimes i think happens naturally and sometimes it don't. richard sherman is a guy who plays for the 49ers and speaks his mind but he's relatively quiet this week and there hasn't been many issues. i want to go back to kobe bryant, i know you want to talk about that. a lot of these guys look up to kobe bryant. he was the be like mike guy for this generation. so they all wanted to be like kobe, they saw his attitude, his approach and how he wanted to win and his motivation and the mamba mentality that he built. and all the guys that are been around for the past two decades. that was a tremendous loss that happened sunday night and that's when the teams came in and really never got to the fever
