>> have a great day, everyone. >> we are still awaiting the results of last night's caucuses, technical glitches reporting issues to iowa democrats are describing inconsistencies for the first official contest of the presidential race is in disarr disarray. i am sandra smith in new york. >> ahead of the big state of the union address for the president meanwhile the iowa democratic party now manually verifying the results with final vote totals expected perhaps it's sometime today. the biggest election mess since

20 years ago, did not stop democrats from claiming momentum before heading on to new hampshire with next week's primary coming up. >> it is too close to call so i'm just going to tell you what i do know. >> you won! >> i have a good feeling we're going to be doing very, very well here. today marks the beginning of the end for donald trump. >> we know there is delays, but we know one thing, we are punching above our way. we met we are going to walk out of here with our share of delegates, don't know exactly what it is yet but we feel good about where we are. >> iowa, you have shocked the nation. by all indications, we are going on to new hampshire victorious. >> ed: to sort out all this mess, you've got democrats

claiming victory before they even have the result. >> that's right, good morning and really it is not the night that iowa democrats wanted because the story isn't about who one but rather the disaster that was caused by an untested app. let me show you here, haven't had an update about this new app that was supposed to record the results causing a major problem, a telephone backup system that was also supposed to support it, that not working. what we got was a short conference call from the chairman here explaining things, take a listen to what he said. >> verifying all precinct results, we are expecting the results later today. we want to emphasize this is a recording issue, not a hack or an intrusion.

we are updating campaigns and we will continue to provide updates as they are available. >> that's going to take a long time because you have more than 1700 precincts that now have to manually do it and don't forget as well that we have three tabulations instead of just one number, there are three that they're trying to do. meanwhile, a lot of questions being asked about this app, we've learned that dhs neither tested nor vetted this new system, the acting secretary was asked about a little earlier. here's what he had to say. >> able to test that out from hacking perspective. they declined so we are seeing a couple of issues with it. i would say right now, this is more of a stress or load issue as well as a reporting issue. >> so a very frustrating night for iowa democrats as we still wait to get some results soon. as you mention, all the candidates claiming some sort of victory and what is sizing up to

be a very close, likely four-way race. >> ed: waiting for those results to come in and the next couple of hours, thank you. >> sandra: we will see, big question still. chaos and i was spelled out on the front page of "the new york post" this morning. there is the cover as questions are raised about the legitimacy of the contest of the future of that caucus system. former speechwriter for george w. bush and fox news contribute or, what a mess it was last night. >> i pride myself that at a certain point i just decided to go to bed and not wait up. when you have 1700 precincts and they didn't really change the rules so much as the reporting and they're going to report three sets of numbers you have to expect there might be some contradiction. >> sandra: it led to the president claiming victory, "big win for us and iowa tonight. thank you." followed up with this one, "the democratic caucus is an unmitigated disaster.

nothing works just like they ran the country. remember "the five" million dollar obamacare web site. the only person that can claim a very big victory in iowa last night's trauma." >> is literally true and as you pointed out, all the democratic candidates are claiming victory. they have a legitimate one because part of the deal of iowa especially as the first test in the election cycle is if you win, you get the claim victory, talk to your campaign workers, people wake up to a new powerhouse's are a confirmed powerhouse of the race and they are deprived by that. i think a lot of this will be forgotten but also it may have deprived especially to the lesser candidate like amy klobuchar or pete buttigieg, may have deprived them of the momentum they would otherwise get. >> sandra: "the new york times" this morning and i bring this up as ted cruz which is on our network a few moments ago made a very similar point going for an advantage but in

"the new york times" this morning, a handful of leading candidates release their own candidate and sought to use the uncertainty to cripple mr. biden who had led in most national polls but appeared highly vulnerable and iowa. advisors to three different campaign suggested the final outcome couldn't represent a tepid finish based on their own internal data in his campaign did little to refute that analysis. full disclosure, we've got the biden campaign at the top of the next hour so we will get their response. your thoughts on that? >> they may be right on that. they are right, the glitch may have helped biden rather than focusing. we had known it last night, the headlines would all be about who we replaced my number one how they. leading nationally but struggling in some of the states. so it may be the best of a couple of bad worlds for joe biden. >> sandra: you immediately started hearing from all of the campaigns, general counsel for the biden campaign released it for all to see and in it said

this. "we believe the campaigns deserve full explanations and relevant information regarding the message of quality control that you are employing and an opportunity to respond before any official results are released." so we will get their reaction and find out if anything has been conveyed from the iowa democratic party. >> we don't know whether they will be lawsuits or whatever coming out of this. my impression is it is forgotten, but whoever would've got the bump if they are not also dominant in new hampshire and south carolina, they have been robbed of something because some of these candidates really bet the farm on iowa so to speak by putting all the work in there. this seems very unfair one way or another. >> sandra: to reiterate the words of senator cruz thing i feel bad for all of the volunteers. this is a severe on the ground effort. i want to finish off with your piece in "the wall street journal" this morning, tuesday night trump, i guess what happens tonight?

the state of the union. i relentlessly optimistic state of the union. what do you expect from the president tonight? >> i expect him to be selling american greatness and to have an optimistic vision for the united states moving ahead. and he makes these insults about michael bloomberg not being tall enough for elizabeth warren being pocahontas, there is a genuine optimism to how he talks about the american worker and the american people and the american future and i think the challenge for democrats is they can attack donald trump but they have to do it in a way where they don't seem to be sneering at his supporters were sneering at american greatness and so far, i don't think they've threaded that needle. >> sandra: all right, we will hear from the president, that is happening tonight in the middle of all of this at impeachment continues on capitol hill this morning, going to hear those. thank you for joining us at the

top of the hour this morning, thank you. >> ed: watching iowa but also waiting for those results, but the white house preparing for tonight's state of the union right here on capitol hill. the president expected to tout a booming economy on the eve of a final impeachment vote in the senate. white house correspondent kevin corke is standing by, he is live from the north lawn. good morning. >> great to have you with us, ed. we know the highlights, now it's a matter of seeing how the president will deliver the goods. this speech expected to run about 90 minutes has the president addresses the nation. he will spend a great deal of time talking about the incredible economy that the company right now is in going in particular the blue-collar boom. we also expect the president to talk about supporting working families, lowering the cost of health care, safe and legal immigration and protecting national security. so while the speechwriters put the finishing touch on the remarks here, mention his

impeachment and likely acquittal tomorrow. he was press secretary stephanie grisham. >> i don't think so. i think this has gone on for too long and if you look at the ratings, the american people are frankly bored of it. i don't think people want to hear that. people want to hear what the president has done for this country and what they're planning to do for this country so it will be very forward facing, it will be very optimistic. he wants to tell the american people going forward for them. >> stephanie grisham earlier this morning, meanwhile us for a special guest tonight, a veteran in the war in afghanistan who got a job working on a project an opportunity zone and will be one of the special guest tonight as will the deputy chief of the u.s. border patrol. so while much of the nation and for that matter the majority of democrats in congress will in fact attend, a few as usual will

miss the speech. he missed the last one, the hills says wilson will also miss the speech and i am bernie sanders of course on his way to new hampshire looking to get a leg up in the competition there. i have already recessed looking for a little background, little nuggets about a possible surprise tonight, i promise to share it but for now back to you. >> ed: thank you for staying on top of that. in the meantime, sandra. if you like a few hours ago, we never imagine this was coming. >> sandra: what a mess. we will see, chris stirewalt is going to join us in the next block on that. but will we see something this morning? could it be throughout the day or even into the night when we see some results? >> ed: i've been checking with all kinds of sources and nobody has any idea and frankly at this point, it is better to get it right than to try to rush it out this morning. is such a mess that even when the results come out, some point

today or tomorrow, who's going to believe them? a lot of campaign saying what happen here, what happen here. this is a mess, a lot of people now calling for the dnc chairman mr. perez to take the blame. going to be a lot of heat on this. we will have democratic senator and ask him about him. to met the biden campaign joining us top of the next hour as well. thank you how in washington. meanwhile, new developments on the coronavirus, the death toll rising to at least 425. more fatalities then in the sars outbreak with over 20,000 cases around the world. we are going to have a live report on that coming up. plus, president trump set to deliver the state of the union address tonight. he is expected to tout the booming u.s. economy and the achievements of his first term. fox news politics editor chris stirewalt will be here to weigh in next. hello, chris. >> we cut taxes at the highest amount ever in the history of our country. there's a revolution going on in

this country

listening and observing are critical skills for scientists at 3m. one of the products i helped develop was a softer, more secure diaper closure. as a mom, i knew it had to work. there were babies involved... and they weren't saying much. i envisioned what it's like for babies to have diapers around them. that's what we do at 3m, we listen to people, even those who don't have a voice. at the end of the day, we are people helping people. >> he is winning as he likes to say but his policies are showing realist results for americans. people are saying bigger paychecks, people have jobs, families are in a better condition than the previous administration.

to mike that was press secretary stephanie grisham earlier as he prepares for his state of the union address tonight expected to tout the robust u.s. economy to make his case for a second term with an optimistic inspirational and forward-looking speech we are told. it is hard to believe in the middle of everything happening right now that that speech happens tonight. >> the show must go on. and by the way, they are all interconnected here where democrats have basically driven their bus off of the cliff into a ravine and had this outing, on the president says and does as this is one political ecosystem and i have to tell you for democrats, the confidence level has to be approaching zero. they have to be very anxious and the fact that they have this

screw up, really embarrassing to screw up the president gets a layup shot. every president gets it, a prime time address of the country with a great backdrop and you get to do all this stuff. democrats have to be thinking what have we done to ourselves here? >> sandra: he has a lot to tout, though the numbers up on the screen on the economy since taking office, the unemployment rate has come down from 4.7% to a historical low 3.5%. the u.s. stock market has been soaring getting $2.3 trillion in market value and gdp growth has gone to 2.4, 2.9, 2.3% solidly above 2%. so he's got that record to tout, can he champion the message? >> sure. the white house says he will be positive, white house says he will be optimistic, not exactly

his strong suit, not exactly how he likes to do but he would be crazy to pass up the opportunity to try to be additive rather than divisive. as it goes for how the democrats are going to receive this, remember this. being nervous can be bad if it gets you off your game, if you are so scared that you can't shoot straight, that is not good. but i think back to 1992 with bill clinton won the democratic nomination against all odds. democrats were terrified ever -- so they got weird, they went to firm moderate the organs to trying something different. is going to cause them to look anew and act anew by the time they get to new hampshire. >> sandra: very interesting. meanwhile, senator lindsey graham has a suggestion for the president. don't talk about impeachment. he says this. "i think it be smart not to talk about impeachment. most people are ready to move on from impeachment.

i hope he is too. i just don't think there's a real reason to talk about it. so is there any expectation that he will take that on tonight? >> it's very hard to tell somebody who won the presidency being a brawler and a political knife fighter, it's hard to tell them now be cool and elevate the game. i'm sure lindsey graham is right, i'm not sure whether it is within this president's skill to do it that way, but we will see what happens and what we will really be watching is how republicans and democrats alike react to it if he does engage in that space and if he does become confrontational, people are staring at them were standing up to applaud. >> sandra: and nancy pelosi standing behind him. final thoughts as you are in

iowa, guide our expectations on what we may see or learn in the coming minutes, hours, days. what is it takes to get the results from iowa? >> they are far from home. here in iowa, they know that their caucus, the democrats know their caucus here is dangling by a thread already in hot water for being so white. quite right here. and democrats say they are to wait to be the first in the nation when you compound it with an error of this magnitude, this looks like it could be a terminal event. that being the case, i am we democrats know that at this point, you've got to be right rather than fast so they're going to take their time. >> sandra: we will see. in chile des moines for us this morning, thank you. >> ed: a brand-new statement from the iowa democratic party shows that election data is sound and that their systems

were secure overnight. they say the results are still being reported at this hour and their plan is to release results as soon as possible today. we will stay on it right after the break. into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove eosinophils, a key cause of asthma. it helps to prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can reduce the need for oral steroids like prednisone. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing.

don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection, or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. could you be living a bigger life? ask an asthma specialist about fasenra. it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now. yeah. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. only pay for what you need with liberty mutual. con liberty mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. only pay for what you need... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

if it weren't for the power of targeted tv advertising. it's smart. it grabs people's attention. it works. it's why comcast spotlight is changing its name to effectv. because being effective means getting results. >> ed: we have breaking details on the coronavirus still impact all around the world, our correspondent is live in atlanta with details. >> getting reports out of hong kong about a 39-year-old patient who died in the hospital this morning, this marks the second coronavirus death outside of the chinese mainland. the first occurred in the philippines, that invite a 44-year-old chinese man who traveled from the epicenter of

the outbreak and died at a hospital in manila. the philippines is now denying entry to noncitizens from china in order to prevent more infection. here, the trump administration has created new guidelines funneling travelers through 11 u.s. airports with enhanced health screening capabilities. u.s. citizens who have been to the city of wuhan or its problems within the past 14 days will be subject to up to two weeks of mandatory quarantine and other than a few exceptions, foreign nationals who have traveled to china during that period will be denied entry to the u.s. public health officials have confirmed 11 cases of coronavirus in the u.s. including a second case of human to human transmission. a traveler returning from wuhan apparently infected his wife with in california and in the san francisco bay area, santa clara county health officials have confirmed two separate cases of coronavirus both involving returning travelers from wuhan.

>> we may have more cases simply due to the amount of travel that we have although i expect that will tail off. >> ed>> the first u.s. patient s been released near seattle. the 35-year-old man had been hospitalized since january 20th when he tested positive for the virus shortly after returning from a trip to visit family and wuhan. public health officials continue to monitor him as he recovers in isolation in his home. he is said to be doing quite well. back to you. >> ed: live in atlanta, we will stay on top of that story. >> sandra: appearing to walk back some of her comments after warning congress could immediately impeach joe biden if he was elected president. senator ernst is today's headliner. we will get brand-new reaction from her at the top of the hour. plus, president trump's highly anticipated state of the union address set for tonight.

will he strike a conciliatory tone or target democrats? the day before in impeachment vote in washington. democratic senator bob casey will join us next on that.

you clean dishes as you cook, to save time and stay ahead of the mess. but scrubbing still takes time. now there's new dawn powerwash dish spray. the faster, easier way to clean as you go. it cleans grease five times faster. on easy messes, just spray, wipe, and rinse. on tough messes, the spray-activated suds cut through grease on contact, without water. just wipe, and rinse. get dishes done faster. new dawn powerwash dish spray. spray. wipe. rinse.

>> sandra: fox news alert now, iowa democratic party giving an update on the chaos that we saw unfold last night in the nation's first caucus in iowa

releasing this statement reading in part "while our plan is to release results as early as today, our goal is to maintain accuracy of the process continues to be upheld." we still await results from iowa. meanwhile back on capitol hill, closing arguments from president trump's impeachment trial wrapping. now senators will have the opportunity to speak before casting their final votes tomorrow. a chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with more on all of that. >> that's exactly right. some of the senators we are watching are those who could vote opposite their party on impeachment. lisa murkowski just sounds frustrated. >> the senate should be ashamed by the rank partisanship that has been on display here. i cannot vote to convict. >> on the other side, all are watching to see how moderate

democrats like doug jones, kyrsten sinema, and joe manchin of west virginia will vote on abuse of power and obstruction of justice. a different way to condemn president trump's behavior. >> i see no past of the 67 votes required to impeach president trump and have incidences trial started. however, i do believe a bipartisan majority in this party would vote to send your president trump for his actions in this manner. center would allow this body to unite across party lines. >> did not sound interested in the center idea. >> the president doesn't leave a lot of room for middle ground. most people would agree with that. this is about the president's conduct we are still in impeachment trial, tomorrow is the actual vote. going to continue to press that case and it's important people do the right thing. >> this morning, the senate floor just now opening up. we expect them to take to the floor to express their views on

impeachment. they have been silent throughout the trial now with their opportunity to speak and then tomorrow we expect senators to vote up or down on those articles of impeachment. >> sandra: will be watching for all of that, thank you. when my president trump will also deliv his big state of the union address, and all but certain outcome. bill clinton as president faced a similar situation in 1999, delivered a state of the union address during impeachment proceedings. joining me now is bob casey, we appreciate you worried i went to get to impeachment in the state of the union but i have to start with iowa. you are a democrat, you've endorsed joe biden, been friends for a long time. showed to the front page of "the washington post," state of the union is way at the bottom, chaos for the democrats is at the top. how frustrated are you that your party hasn't got its act together on this? >> it is very frustrating but we are awaiting the results today. i think from the perspective of vice president biden, he's going to have a strong and broad

coalition, votes in iowa as well as new hampshire and it's going to be week by week, i think he has made the case throughout the country that he is the stronge strongest. >> ed: there were some indications that that poll that came out was going to show he was in fourth place. some precincts were surprisingly he did not even reach the 15% threshold to be viable. this is early stages. he is the former vice president. how worried are you about his campaign not getting on track? >> you can put together the strongest bipartisan coalition to make the case. this is going to be about who can win the general election. in pennsylvania he is going to be competitive as is wisconsin and michigan and some other states so you need to nominate someone that can come into the general election with that broad coalition which sometimes is reflected better and later states in the earlier states.

>> ed: stephanie grisham was on fox a little bit earlier, she seemed to have some tough words for democrats even as we hear the president will try to avoid talking about impeachment and be positive. here's what she said. >> they are unhinged. they are so obsessed with taking this president down that they are now again making up crazy assertions on the floor and the american people know, they are just unhinged. they want him out of office so badly. i've got to say, i was with him in florida last weekend, it is amazing to me that he still has just focused on what is next. >> on one hand, hearing a positive vision forward but they're taking the gloves off and they are upset about what democrats have done in recent days. how do you react to that? >> the president's job tonight is to bring the country togeth together. it is not time for demonize and divide, it is time to bring the country together on a range of

issues. doesn't mean he won't necessarily refer to the impeachment process but if he is going to be the president that he should be, he should try to unify the country tonight. that's the job of being president is to bring the country together even the most difficult and divisive. >> ed: why was nancy pelosi sitting on the articles of impeachment for 33 days? you could have dealt with this. >> we had a process now where people have seen this impeachment trial without any new witnesses that should have been called, no new documents. i think unfortunate to be the lasting impact of this impeachment process with a trial that was written from day one. >> ed: so do you like what joe manchin and fellow democrats, he sat on the floor yesterday he tries to bring people together, so he said let's censure the president and move on. >> we should go through the impeachment process until it's over and that's tomorrow and

then open to listening. i am not open to censure but i want joe to make his case and hear his proposal but we have an impeachment process that has to conclude by virtue of what the constitution demands. great to be with you. >> sandra: now to the senate floor were senator mitch mcconnell is making a statement ahead of the other senators who will each be given 10 minutes to make their statements because impeachment continues on capitol hill. let's listen to senator mcconnell. >> the framers knew impeachment might begin with overheated passions and short-term factionalism, but they knew those things could not get the final say. so they place the ultimate judgment not in the lower chamber but in the sober and stable senate. they wanted impeachment rows to be fair to both sides, they wanted them to be timely

avoiding the procrastinated determination of the charges, they wanted us to take a deep breath and decide which outcome would reflect the facts, protect our institutions, and advance the common good. they called the senate "the most fit depository of this important trust." tomorrow, we will know whether that trust was well-placed. the drive to impeach president trump did not begin with the allegations before us. he was reporting on april of 2016 before the president was the nominee. "donald trump isn't even the republican nominee yet but impeachment is already on the list of newspaper editorials, constitutional scholars, and even a few members of congress." it was a "washington post" headline minutes after president trump's inauguration.

"the campaign to impeach president trump has begun. "the washington post" said. the articles of impeachment before us were not even the first ones has democrats introduced. this was a go around number of roughly seven. those previously alleged high crimes and misdemeanors included things like being impolite to the press and to professional athletes. it insults the intelligence of the american people to pretend this was a solemn process reluctantly begun because of withheld foreign aid. no, washington democrats position on this has been a clear for years. their position was obvious when they openly rooted for the investigation and they were

disappointed when the facts proved otherwise. it was obvious when they sought to impeach the president over and over. here's their real position, mr. president. washington democrats think president donald trump committed a high crime or misdemeanor the moment he defeated hillary clinton in the 2016 election. that is the original sin of this presidency. that he won, and they lost. ever since, the nation has suffered through a grinding campaign against our norms and institutions from the same people who keep shouting that are norms and institutions need defending. a campaign to degrade our democracy and delegitimize our elections from the same people who shout that confidence in our

democracy must be paramount. we have watched a major american political party adopt the following absurd proposition. we think this president is a bull in a china shop, so we are going to drive a bull dozer through the china shop to get rid of him. this fever led to the most rushed, least fair, and least thorough presidential impeachment inquiry in american history. the house inquiry over president nixon stood many months. special prosecutor's investigation added many more months. with president clinton, the independent counsel worked for years. takes time to litigate executive privilege which happened in both those investigations, litigating privilege questions as a normal step and investigators of both parties understood was they

responsibility, but this time, no serious inquiry, the house abandoned its own subpoenas, they had an arbitrary political deadline to meet. they had to impeach by christmas. they to impeach by christmas. so in december, house democrats realized the framers nightmare, a purely partisan majority approved to articles of impeachment over bipartisan opposition. and after the speaker of the house delayed for a month in a futile effort to dictate senate process to senators, the articles finally arrived over here in the senate. over the course of the trial, senators have sworn video testimony from 13 witnesses over 193 video clips, we have entered

more than 28,000 pages of documents into evidence including 17 depositions. and our members asked 180 questions. in contrast to the house proceedings, our trial gave both sides affair platform. our process tract with what they adopted for the clinton trial 20 years ago. just as they argued at length in 1999, we recognize that senate traditions impose no obligation to hear new live witness testimony if it is not necessary to decide the case. it is not necessary to decide the case, let me emphasize, the house managers themselves said over and over that additional testimony was not necessary. to prove their case.

they claimed dozens of times that their existing case was overwhelming and incontrovertible. that was the house managers. saying that evidence was overwhelming. and incontrovertible. at the same time, they were arguing for more witnesses. but in reality, both of the accusations are constitutionally incoherent. the obstruction of congress charge is absurd and dangerous. house democrats argued that any time the speaker invokes the house sold power of impeachment, the president must do whatever the house demands. no questions asked. invoking executive branch privileges and immunities in response to how subpoenas becomes an impeachable offense itself. here's how chairman schiff put it back in october, "any action

that forces us to litigate or have to consider litigation will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice." that, mr. president, is nonsense impeachment. that is nonsense. impeachment is not some magical constitutional trump card that melts away the separations between the branches of government. the framers did not leave the house of secret constitutional steamroller that everyone somehow overlooked for 230 years. any congress subpoenas executive branch officials with executive privilege, the due sides either reach an accommodation or they go to court. that's the way it works. so can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? how would democrats in the press have responded if house

republicans had told president obama we don't want to litigate our subpoenas over fast and furious, so if you make a step foot in court, we will just impeach you. people just impeach you. of course, that's not what happen. the republican has litigated it subpoenas for years until they prevailed. so much for obstruction of congress. and the abuse of power charges just as unpersuasive and dangerous. a gave into temptation they impeach a president without alleging a crime known to our laws. now mr. president, i do not subscribe to the legal theory that impeachment requires a violation of a criminal statute,

but there are powerful reasons why for 230 years every presidential impeachment did in fact allege a criminal violati violation. the framers explicitly rejected impeachment for maladministration. the general charge under english law that basically encompassed bad management, a sort of general vote of no confidence, except in the most extreme circumstances except for acts that overwhelmingly shock the national conscience, the framers decided presidents must serve at the pleasure of the electorate. and not at the pleasure of house majorities. as hamilton wrote, it is one thing to be a subordinate to the laws and another to be dependent on the legislative body. so house democrats sailed into the new and dangerous waters,

the first impeachment unbound by criminal law. of the country the most fair and painstaking process, the most rigorous investigation, the most bipartisan effort. instead, we got the opposite. the exact opposite. the house managers argued that the president could not have been acting in the national interest because he acted inconsistently with their own conception of the national interest. let me say that again. the house managers were basically arguing the president had not been acting in the national interest because he acted inconsistently with their conception of the national interest. a conception shared by some of the president subordinates as well. this does not even approach a case for the first presidential removal in american history, doesn't even approach it.

such an act cannot rest alone on the exercise of a constitutional power combined with concerns about whether the president's motivations were public or personal and a disagreement over whether they exercise of the power was in the national interest. they gave our nation and ultimate tool for evaluating a presidents character and policy decisions. they are called elections. they are called elections. if washington democrats have a case to make against the president's reelection, they should go out and make it. let them try to do what they failed to do three years ago. and sell the american people on their vision. for the country. i can certainly see why given president trump's remarkable achievements over the past three years, democrats might feel a

bit uneasy about defeating him at the ballot box. but they don't get to rip the choice away from the voters just because they were afraid they might lose again. they don't get to strike president trump's name from the ballot just because as one house democrat put it, "i'm concerned that if we don't impeach him, he will get reelected." the impeachment power exists for a reason. invoking it on a partisan whim to settle three year old political scores does not honor the framers design, it insults the framers design. frankly, it is hard to believe that house democrats ever really felt this reckless would reveal 67 votes crossed the rubicon.

was their vision so clouded by partisanship that they really believed this would be anywhere near enough for the next presidential removal in american history? or was this all in an effort to hijack our institutions for a month-long political rally. either way, the demon has been on full display but now it is time for him, the demon to exit the stage. we have indeed witnessed an abuse of power, a grave abuse of power by just the kind of house majority the framers warned us about. so tomorrow, the senate must do what we were created to do. we have done our duty,

"there has been close calls before but nothing approaching that catastrophe of february 3rd, a date that will live in the electoral

infamy" our panel now, both from the fox news decision desk. good morning to both of you and thank you for being here. i will start with you first. can you tell us what happened last night? they were still so many unanswered questions and it seems we might not get results today. >> the short answer is no, i can tell you what happened last night. the first thing you heard as they were the problem with the app they were using to transmit results from the precinct caucuses over to the party. then we heard the party said no, that's not the case, the app is fine but they have a backup system involving not just the electronic transmission of votes but also a paper trail in the party is arguing there were discrepancies in the count that they needed to reconcile before they release the results. i haven't heard anything beyond that. i think at this point, we are going to get a dump of all of the results both the first alignment and then the delicate equivalent which is what everybody was really interested in, but at this point, what's

the point in rushing and now? were not going to get any credit for getting out at 10:00 a.m. eastern as opposed to 3:00 p.m. so i am skeptical we are going to hear anytime soon. >> sandra: and part of the statement says it's part of our investigation we determined with certainty that the underlying data collected by the app was sound because that was in question. at the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting only partial data. so what more we learning here? >> one thing we can say with a whole lot of confidence as this is not rigged. something is rigged, it benefits the people that rigged it and this is the absolute worst outcome. >> sandra: that would be in response to what we are hearing from the trump campaign after all this, sent out a tweet "quality control equals rigged? ">> that is slightly more ridiculous than the outcome of the caucuses last night which is

just a travesty. wasn't rigged, no way around that. this is a total diminishment of the iowa caucuses. even if they do put their results out presumably they will sometimes, the impact is greatly diminished. couldn't make victory speeches, that's one of the purposes of iowa to see who connects and who doesn't and now we are bumping into the state of the union address, we have new hampshire. >> sandra: final thoughts. >> i agree with chris's statement that it's really disconcerting when both biden and the president talk about. he met i asked you a question with ten seconds remaining.

>> sandra: fox news alert, democrats falling flat on their face last night in iowa, a lot of chaos. a state party officials working furiously to figure out the results of last nights caucuses. technical problems first in the nation contest in a state of uncertainty. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i am sandra smith inc. new york this morning. >> ed: that is a mouthful trying to cover a lot right now. complicated caucus rules are confusing enough. a lot of noise as they get ready for the state of the union but last night's outcome a disaster as you noted for democrats. frustrating voters, party

officials in the campaign, candidates now heading to new hampshire without knowing who won in iowa. >> we brought together an extraordinary coalition of americans. progressives, moderates, and a good number of what we like to call future and former republicans. >> tonight as a party, we are one step closer to defeating the most corrupt president in american history. >> the first state in the country has voted and today marks the beginning of the end for donald trump. >> we are going to be here a really long time tonight. let's stay in a good spirit. >> we are going to do this, i promise you. i promise you, we are going to get this done. >> sandra: live into moana where all of that went down last night. >> good morning, this is the

third presidential cycle where the results of the iowa caucuses have been confusing to say the least. we still don't have the results of yesterday's caucus but we are told we should expect them sometime today. in the meantime, getting a little more information on what seems to have gone wrong. said it was a coding issue with the new app meant to help precincts quickly report the results of the state party. they noticed inconsistencies as reports started to come in yesterday. reportedly move to their preplanned backup measures and enter data manually while i tried to sort out some of the problems. goes on to say while the app was recording data accurately, it was reporting i would only reporting system. was identified and fixed, it did not impact thet

data accurately because of the required paper documentation we have been able to verify the data recorded in the app used to calculate state delegate equivalents is valid and accurate. precinct level results are still being reported to the idp. the party is adamant the systems are secure and there was not a cyber security intrusion. they claim independent security consultants tested their systems before all of this, department of homeland security however says they offered to test this new app but i would democrats said no thanks. campaign still saying they heard next to nothing from the iowa democratic party who knows they were to phone calls last night between the state party and all of the campaigns, three people familiar with the first phone call all were aghast calling it crazy, insane, a mess. one source told me the state party told the campaigns they were getting paper results even some presequence taking photos of their paper results and texting it to them.

some people on the phone pushed it back saying this is ridiculous, the party did not answer any questions and ended the call, all three sources told me the iowa democratic party just hung up. at some point last night, the spokesperson for the iowa democrats claims a delay on quality checks and the fact that they are reporting out three datasets for the first time. iowa democratic party gave a handful of changes to the caucuses this year and fixing or avoiding some of the issues that popped up in 2016. remember, clinton and sanders were very close to my sanders team raw vote count. the state party had not kept track of it so this the state de equivalent, three numbers in all. it seems that the changes they made meant to increase transparency and reform people's faith in this process could have cracked the foundation of the iowa caucuses. >> sandra: just an update on what we are hearing, the iowa

democratic party is reportedly holding a phone call with the campaign 11:00 a.m. central time, 12:00 p.m. eastern time although results are not expected but they are expected to provide possibly a timeline and we will be listening and watching for that. thank you. >> for more on this, let's bring in her headliner this morning, iowa senator is a member of the senate judiciary and armed services committee. is great to have you first of all. was in des moines with sandra and everything was great, having a good time reporting the story and what in the world is happening? >> iowa is a wonderful place to be and i will always defend our caucus process. however, what we have seen has e badly. but again, the iowa caucus system, politicians coming out

and interacting face-to-face with voters is very important part of the process and narrowing down who that candidate should be. we have to remember it is bipartisan, iowa launched barack obama a number of years ago as well as giving them. >> ed: want to get to that in a moment that there was also a little bit of action on the republican side, president had some family members and surrogates on the ground, how do you think it's going for him? in the general election, he wanted to make sure he has those electoral votes. >> it was pretty phenomenal,ut n incompetent president, so you can see that in iowa, folks are really excited about resident donald trump and the fact that he had so many surrogates on the ground how to various precinct locations and a great rally thursday evening the man wasn't able to be there because of some other business we had going on. but the fact that we really had

so many people in for the president and highly respected people. really stirred up the voters. >> ed: i know you can't get into the mechanics of what's going on, that's on the other side of the aisle for you but you are seeing online it is trending on social media, and iowa's first of the nation status. are you worried that critics are going to pounce on this mess? seeing chaos, all the headlines in the morning papers. will they pounce on this and take that first of the nation status away from your state? >> the president has already pushed out a tweet and said he firmly believes in the iowa caucuses in the tradition of the iowa caucuses. >> ed: also sent out a tweet saying it's a mess and shows it is a disaster. >> and he further reported that the democratic party. first of the nation caucuses in iowa again, so many voters in iowa are very well educated on the issues and on the candidates

and because we do have a large middle ground of independent voters, the majority block of our voters can register as a republican or a democrat and participate in the process. they again will be really pointing towards the direction. >> ed: would shift to the other nations business as you mention, first impeachment in the state of the union. a democratic colleague of yours but reaches across the aisle a lot and said seem to be leaning against conviction but then why not censure? why not save a phone call was an appropriate, the senate could speak on that and have an up or down vote on censuring the president and still acquit him. >> i was in the presiding officer's chair when he was giving his voice speech yesterday and he made a number of points both pro and con on conviction of the president for acquittal, the bottom line is he

brings up other methods and technologies, tools of the toolbox that we can use. bottom line for me as we are not through this yet. one step at a time, let's focus on wrapping up impeachment. the folks back in iowa are saying get this over with. >> ed: do have an open mind on the idea of once the president is acquitted as expected that the vote, do you have an open mind as a "yes" or a firm no? >> i would lean towards no, and i think the process that i have seen going through this whole escapade as set up by the house democrats, the house managers has really soured me on this entire experience. i felt that the house managers really took our constitution and threw it on the ground, drove a bus over and then for good measure backed up over it again. so this has really put a bad taste not only in our mouths but also those of our voters back home. islands expect us to get back to work.

>> ed: trying to uphold the constitution, seed and play on this one up for going on now, for speeches today both sides. real quick that. >> there was no due process at the house democrats process in the house mother called up witnesses who didn't have representation, they weren't able to cross examine. the whole thing started miserably as nancy pelosi didn't vote to do the inquiry. didn't vote to go through proper process. >> ed: reading a press release of what you've been saying, let's get to the nation's business, what do you want the president to say tonight in terms of trying to pick up both sides are pretty dug in right now i'm an election year. look and he reasonably get done before the election? >> this president has been absolutely incredible about getting to the nations business so we have a booming economy out there, to recent trade deals, big news that was buried under impeachment. very big for iowa, so we are

already seeing great things to thwart tax cuts but what more can we do? we have a few more months and this congress and with this president and his first term, we are looking at things by lowering the cost of house care, a transportation bill, so many other things that i am ones feel are important, americans feel are important, we need to get back to business and that's what i'm hearing on the ground. >> ed: we really appreciate your time. thank you, ed. from the department of homeland security now confirming to fox news that the delay in the iowa caucus results was not a cyber attack by the debacle during the first is now raising concerns for other states planning to use apps during the election cycle. gillian turner is following all of that from capitol hill this morning. >> good morning to you.

so the iowa caucus debacle overnight taking a turn this morning. cyber security experts now ringing alarm bells not just about iowa, but about what this malfunction really is going to mean for future caucuses nationwide. acting secretary of homeland security told fox news just a short while ago and the issue in iowa last night did not stem from a hack. take a listen. >> no one hacked into it so this is a stress overload issue as well as a reporting issue we are seeing. what i would say he is given the amount of scrutiny that we have on election security these days, this is a concerning event. the ghost of the public confidence of our elections. >> the agency never vetted the app before its launch last night and today the democratic party he says is still turning down offers of assistance. take a listen. >> the agency has offered to test that out from a hacking perspective.

they declined, as we are seeing a couple of issues with it. right now, i don't see any malicious cyber activity going on. >> the iowa democratic party put out a statement just a few minutes ago saying they are taking this problem very seriously. they say we have every indication that our systems were secure and there is not a cyber security intrusion in preparation for the caucuses, our systems were tested by independent cyber security analysts. the risks of relying on new technology like this are not limited to only iowa. we are now learning that nevada is going to rely on mobile apps in order to record and then later ron report vote tallies out. so this appears to be an avalanche. you met, thank you. >> ed: more on the iowa caucus chaos, the results not out yet. standing by for them. in the meantime, joe biden's senior campaign advisor will

our internal data show that we tracked ahead in many places. the mine, 72 and polk county place are we expected to be on the edge we exceeded qualifications then we expect to have delegates from there. that's a place where senator sanders won in 2016. but we are also very concerned about the failures of the process yesterday from the iowa democratic party app not working and crashing to the backup phone line that were the backup option not being answered waiting on the line and then the foundation of this process and we are hearing antidotes from folks that they were places across iowa where they weren't filled out or were filled out erroneously. asking them to be sure and very judicious about checking that data. >> sandra: i know that general counsel for the biden campaign

saying not only you want answers but you want answers before results are made public. here's a bit of that letter you are talking about saying we believe the campaigns deserve full explanations and relevant information regarding quality control employing an opportunity to respond before any official results are released. has there been any direct communication back from the iowa democratic party to the biden campaign in response to that letter? >> we haven't heard anything from the iowa democratic party. i know they put out a statement most recently. we flew to new hampshire late last night and we have a full day of campaigning to go but again, we believe the integrity of this process is too important. so folks should be careful, the iowa democratic party wants to get this right. we have asked them to be judicious, to take their time and to provide proof of the numbers that they are going to be citing. the reality is, and i think it's

important for them to know that there is no data, there is no reportable data right now. what we are tracking, what other campaigns have tracked our internal but there is no clear data on delegate equivalents. right now, we don't have any. we are looking forward to new hampshire and hoping that iowa gets it right. you have to move forward but as we await those results, some were suggesting that this was beneficial to joe biden how he was pulling heading into the iowa caucuses. i will read a bit from "the new york times" this morning suggesting that this does benefit the biden camp, a handful of leading candidates. released their own data portraying themselves in a favorable light and sought to use the uncertainty to cripple mr. biden who had led to most national polls but appeared highly vulnerable in iowa. suggested that the final outcome could represent a tepid finish

for biden based on their own internal data in his campaign did little to refute that analysis. i will give you an opportunity to respond. >> i'm responding now to say it is just not accurate for a campaign to suggest that what the data has right now because we do not have state delegate equivalents but i can tell you what we tracked and saw on the ground and they were places in polk county where we ran ahead of our numbers, but the reality is we don't have any state delegate equivalents and that is hohow the nominee is chosen, soe are moving forward but also asking for accountability. and we are moving forward. >> sandra: it is understood, the biden campaign put on those results once they are out. >> it truly depends on how they

have checked the data. we have proof of preference, all these things are really important but the reality is that we are in new hampshire today campaigning for a very full day, we will be here all week looking forward to the primary on tuesday, the slate of delegates -- a slate of endorsements from two for tuesday states today including arkansas, we have the caroline kennedy endorsement, former ambassador from japan. it is going to be a long call. >> sandra: are you being told about the scheduled call now with the campaigns, we are learning that this is happening. >> i did hear there was a call at 11. >> sandra: you were not expecting results on that call, correct? the timeline potentially when we might see those. final thoughts as you head off. >> sandra: my final thoughts

are we are excited about this process, we have always said that this was going to be a long hard-fought journey and we believe that no person should be the democratic nominee without demonstrating their ability to build a broad and diverse coalition. we have done that, we will continue to do that and we told those other folks we will see you in new hampshire. >> sandra: senior biden campaign advisor, we appreciate your time this morning, thank you. when that good stuff, see you in new hampshire but they have to deal with iowa first, the president now taking aim at the iowa mess as well as he prepares for tonight's state of the union address right here on capitol hill. what he is saying about the democratic problems that's coming up, meanwhile leaving the caucus train track in the rearview mirror are at least trying until they go to new hampshire. what's ahead on the primary calendar and a new warning of a battle on the horizon. >> and now it on to new hampshire.

[mayhem] you always drive like an old lady? [tina] you're an old lady. >> good morning. democrats with a major mess on their hands and iowa. still waiting for the final results from those caucuses

after a major breakdown of their systems and procedures to report the outcome. red-faced party officials now reporting inconsistencies while insisting there was no hack or intrusion. the front page of "the new york post" says it all. the top candidates unable to claim outright victory and they all consider themselves big winners last night as they had to new hampshire for next week's first of the nation primary. the iowa democratic party writing in a statement "while their plan is to release results as soon as possible today, our ultimate goal is to be sure the integrity and accuracy of the process continues to be upheld. we are told they are expecting couple count to hopefully shed more light on what's happening. we are going to keep you posted all morning long. >> sandra: for more on all of this, let's bring in a ceo of 32 advisors, former economic advisor in fox news contributor

and a fox news contributor joining us as well. good morning to both of you. was a late night for everyone. i know you sat down and said you were glued to coverage last night. >> we were reduced to talking about names being drawn from a hat and whether the turnout looked okay and that big screen that said results coming soon or something like that. was sort of hilarious if you are not a democrat. i think my take away from this is bernie sanders should of had an incredible opportunity assuming that he won to address the nation and solidify his excitement and enthusiasm. i thought the other big winner of the night was amy klobuchar because she jumped into an news vacuum that all of us were suffering from, commanded the spotlight, given a very upbeat excited speech and others sought saying basically we are onto new hampshire. >> sandra: she wasn't the only

candidate who took that opportunity. pete buttigieg another said there is no results are no winner, i will be the winner. >> ed: so as they were waiting, it was a debacle. i think i tweeted, i called it a blank show. think about 2008, what launch barack obama. was the iowa caucus with the big speech, 40 million people watching that gave him the momentum. would have changed absolutely. >> sandra: at one point weeded out by this time he would have given his speech last night. >> the iowa caucus doesn't always pick the winner, we know that. didn't take donald trump or ronald reagan or bill clinton but what it does is it gives you look at an incredible advertisement and narrows the field and then it gives you momentum. we have now the same number of candidates going into new hampshire as we had into iowa, seven to ten candidates

that all have five plus percent, there is truly no real front runner, you could argue still that joe biden is a moderate and bernie sanders is the popular. >> sandra: speaking of joe biden, we just talked to the campaign and i brought up with her the point that many are making this morning, "new york times" and ted cruz and others saying this benefited joe biden because he avoided the negative headlines. >> it is particularly frustrating for the surging and the insurgent candidates. joe biden is perfectly fine with this outcome because the headline in all likelihood this morning would have been something like "bernie sanders wins iowa." that has a big impact. the reason you invest in iowa. iowa rarely wins the race but it typically calls the field. >> exactly what i said, and i agree. but he won iowa and it did change the field, and narrowed

from 16. ted cruz won it and narrowed it from 16 down to half a dozen. you see what happen last night, the reason i think simone is right is because everyone no thinks he came in fourth or i think there's a good chance he comes in third because we know that the des moines polls came out but none of the rural polls came out in the rural polls favored by it in and have the same number of delegates. so i think this could be a surprise on the upside. >> sandra: you would be the first to make that case. there is still some interesting information, meeting 2016. moderate soma rates are expecting bernie sanders bumped up by thousands of thousands of

college students and young people and enthusiastic supporters, it does not bode well for bernie. he came out the winner from last night and the trump campaign but out of statement, the 2020 campaign manager for the president, democrats are stewing in a caucus mess of their own creation with the sloppiness train wreck in history. would be natural for people to doubt the fairness of the process. >> i heard in the speakers that you interviewed, this was not a rigged process, no conspiracy we all like to hyped that up. you had 1600 different community dams and churches and people raising their hand, the process was terrible because there was no outcome. what i would say about why it was for trump is because no one came out of the caucus with momentum and we still don't have a natural front runner. we have 25% or below. when obama came out, he was at

40%. when hillary came out, at 50%. the idea that we are still 20 or 25 percent does not help our party. >> sandra: it is not the fault of iowa and as long as i am president, who will stay where it is. iowa could be a toss-up state, an important state as president trump certainly should win it but it's gone back and forth in recent years but he is taking this to the bank. i would say the other person who is the loser today it was pete buttigieg. i don't know how he did of course but trending on twitter is mayor cheat because they think that is coming out so early and declaring victory is very questionable and then there were issues. all kinds of things going on. bernie sanders supporters are going to look for trouble here i think because they do feel aggrieved that he didn't get this big moment and it continues

its tremendous friction. >> i had the flack of the bernie bros, they are not easy. so mayor pete and the boss a lot of trending. mayor pete took the opportunity to say he was victorious. i know he didn't say i won but he used and he is getting hit for that on the flip side, he is actually walking out with a lot of excitement because his surrogates feel excited about the outcome even though no one knows the outcome. >> so did amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren. jim asked her thank you to both of you. >> a fun day to be a democrat. >> this day has been one of the most difficult days in recent

memory for me. i can't help but feel i'm letting everyone down with this but the upshot is that i have been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. i don't like making things about me, but they were going to be days that i'm not going to be able to be here. >> ed: a very emotional announcement from conservative radio star rush limbaugh, shocking millions in his audience yesterday when he announced he has been diagnosed with late stage lung cancer. the influential commentator says he will continue hosting the show but will be taking some days off here and there as he undergoes treatment. let's bring in family and emergency medicine dr. at city md, thanks for joining us. so obviously a very emotional announcement from rush limbaugh all thinking about it and praying for him, it's an advanced form of lung cancer.

what is the road ahead? >> my heart goes out to rush and his family. lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in this country. we have over a quarter million cases every year and over 100,000 deaths from it. but one of the major risk factors is smoking and we do know that he was a smoker. he smokes cigars. but he announced that he had advanced lung cancer so usually that means a prognosis if you catch it later rather than stage one or stage three, so right now, what's going to happen is he's going to discuss with his doctors what is his plan of care, what is his treatment regimen going to be? most likely it's the late stage surgery out of the question but there were other options such as chemotherapy, radiation, ablation. so "the five" year survival rate is usually lower once you are at the advanced stages which means

it likely spreads from the longest of the lymph nodes to other parts of the body, the liver to the brain, to the bon bones. >> ed: big picture on this, second most common cause of death in america right now exceeded only by heart disease, you mentioned 228,000 estimated new cases of lung cancer in 2020, more people in the u.s. die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer, true for both men and women when you talk about chemotherapy radiation in this late stage, what will he have to endure in the days ahead? >> the medications itself in the treatment can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, fatigue, sometimes you develop pneumonia but everyone is different. i think with prayer and a good attitude and sticking to your treatment with your doctors, there is hope. this is not an immediate death sentence because we have such great advances in medicine to

help treat lung cancer but again, the key is early detection and that's why it's so important to see your doctor routinely and regularly because if we can catch it early the mud and we can treat you more effectively and have a better risk of longer survival. even if you are a smoker, sometimes your doctor depending on your risk factors will recommend a low dose every year to catch the lung cancer in its early stages so you have a better chance of survival. when that good advice, we are all thinking and praying for his whole family. thanks for coming in. >> sandra: our best to rush. the coronavirus outbreak spreading rapidly with more than 400 deaths now confirmed in china. cdc officials confirming the second case of transmission here at home. a live report just ahead. plus, the booming u.s. economy in trump's reelection campaign, why one columnist is saying it is what will save trump from an

>> sandra: put that big board up there, 455-point climb, president trump has been touting the stock market, the u.s. economy as his impeachment trial nears a final vote this week, some think the booming economy will lead to an acquittal of the president. a charles payne joining us now, host of making money with charles payne so this is rick newman, senior columnist of yahoo finance. save trump from impeachment he makes the case. >> i know rick and he doesn't like president trump. is true it is much harder to impeach a president who was

delivered this kind of economy in these kind of wage gains rebounding homeownership in the list goes on and on but the fact of the matter is they just didn't have enough to really impeach him the most people don't believe it's something to kick a president out of office for. so over, that's done. i guess that's as good as rick is going to do. >> sandra: let me read what he put in here, ending the impeachment drama, the unemployment rate had a 50 year low, the stock market is close to record highs, the economy itself probably in the late stages of the longest cycle expanded on record, consumers feel upbeat and don't have to worry about what is normally their number one concern, jobs and the economy. moving past but this means for impeachment, this economy is booming. in delivering a state of the union tonight expects them to tout it. >> the state of the union tonight. maybe the dow up 500 points, nasdaq at a new record high,

homeownership the bettis dumb at best it's been in five or six years, wages going through the roof, a state of the union versus of chaos. >> sandra: impeachment vote tomorrow at 4:00. >> it's interesting, i'm glad that rick put probably in parentheses because they've been calling for the end of the cycle for two to three years now. i could argue that we are actually reigniting manufacturing one of the keys that turn this market around from last week. the number was absolutely phenomenal. also got consumer confidence. did not bus the coronavirus. overshadowed by most of the media, american consumers not worried right now about the coronavirus but they were out there shopping at their feeling good about this country. this is the best night that i can think of for a president to give the state of the union. to mike i want to put in context of what we're seeing because we

did have a sell-off that led into negative territory. this puts us into positive territory for 2020 and the nasdaq composite which is technology names is on pace for a record close today. microsoft hitting an all-time high. tesla hitting an all-time high. >> it is a rally. microsoft, apple, google, amaz amazon. maggio rally all the way. >> sandra: sounds like you're calling for another leg up in the market. >> this time it is going to be reigniting, i've sent in your show over and over again, watch me. >> sandra: charles payne, thank you. back to you. >> ed: thank you, a kayaker who embarked on a trip of more than a week ago went missing found alive. what led rescuers to him is up next. we'll have the latest on the court battle in texas for a family is trying to save their 1-year-old.

iowa, 2020 democrats heading out now to new hampshire. we'll come back to "america's newsroom," just hours away from the president's third state of the union address. >> sandra: hello and good morning again, i am sandra smith here with the fallout from the iowa caucus in overdrive, blaming technical errors as reporting inconsistencies for the hold up. here is simone sanders, senior biden campaign advisor on "america's newsroom" just a few moments ago. >> we believe the integrity of this process is too important so folks should be careful, we think they do which is why we have asked them to be judicious, to take their time and to

provide proof of the numbers that they are going to be citi citing. >> ed: everybody watching, still live on the ground in des moines with the latest. >> good morning, have some more substantial communication from the democratic party as far as what went wrong. the chairman of the party says as the caucus wraps on the results came in, it became clear there were some inconsistencies with data that was being reported through an app they were there is no indication of a cyber security intrusion, the problem was with the code written to report the data. here is part of the statement. has part of our investigation, we determine with certainty that the underlying data collected by the app was sound while the app was reporting data accurately, it was reporting out only partial data. the data was backed up on paper verifying the results has now just taking longer. reaction from democratic caucus goers ring from disappointment to better slow than wrong.

>> is a democrat, as hundreds of thousands have participated, the fact that we are able to provide a result is very disappointing. >> this is a coordinated effort, we've been waiting for a year for these results so what's a few more hours? b>> we know there is one for the democratic party and the different campaigns but we don't know it's going to take place, will they get numbers, a timeline, or further explanation as far as what went wrong? >> the party told us they were going to be ready, doesn't look like they were. reporting the facts from the ground, thank you. >> sandra: while iowa works to straighten things out, president trump is preparing for his state of the union address tonight ahead of a final vote tomorrow and the senate on the impeachment trial. chief white house correspondent john roberts is live from the north lawn this morning. nothing going on there this

morning. >> just another dull day here at the white house. the president not only looking ahead in the state of the union but also last night's iowa caucuses because he was involved as well a lot of talk in the wake of the debacle about iowa loses its first of the nation status and the president standing up for iowa on twitter this morning tweeting "it is not the fault of iowa. is the do-nothing democrats fault. as long as i am president, i will stay where it is an important tradition pretty also thanked them for his landside win in the caucuses which was fully expected. the president tweeting "i had the largest reelection vote in the history of that great state by far. beating president obama's previous record by a lot, also 9097% of the vote. the state of the union address tonight, the overarching theme is going to be the great

american comeback. the president will be highlighting five big topics, the blue-collar economic boom, support for working families, lowering the cost of health care, safe and illegal immigration systems and protecting national security. they rated so you can follow along. lowering the cost of health care, safe and legal immigration system and protecting national security. the speech is amid the democrats final push to try to remove the president from office, it appears there is zero chance of going to happen before 4:00 tomorrow. the state of the union speech always tightly scripted but the big question here, will the president include either in the scripted text over and ad lib anything about impeachment? here is stephanie grisham from fox & friends this morning. >> i don't think so. i think this has gone on for too long and if you look at the ratings, the american people are frankly bored of it. i don't think people want to hear that. people want to hear what the president has done for this

country and what he's planning to do for this country so what will be very forward facing, it will be very optimistic. the president is not focused on impeachment either. >> this is not the first time a president has given a state of the union address in the middle of an impeachment process, last time was 1999 but bill clinton was not up for reelection so it will be interesting to see going forward how the president will leverage the impeachment process in his reelection. is possible that the president could stray outside the lines here and take a swing at impeachment. the white house is saying the speech is going to be optimistic but the president will be talking about his accomplishments "in the face of unjustified pessimism from some in congress. so that leaves it open. >> it will be a big day, a big night, john roberts, thank you. >> are cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency

has offered to test that out from a hacking perspective. they declined, this is more of a stress overload issue as well as a reporting issue we are seeing. this is a concerning event, it really goes to the public confidence of our elections. >> the iowa caucus result was not a cyber attack but the debacle during the first contest now raising concerns for other states planning to use apps, other election data devices and the cycle joining is now oklahoma republican senator james langford, member of the homeland security committee. appreciate you coming in. so first of all big picture as a member of the homeland security committee, what are your thoughts about these failures? >> lessons learned from 2016 that jack wolfe is already engaging on. wasn't enough engagement, he speaks to that, homeland security team speaks to that.

there is a hacking problem, they get back and they can rapidly do that so quickly but very specific things in a piece of legislation, work with homeland security to implement that before we get it passed and they are actively doing that. we saw the fruit of that in 2018 and we will see it again in 2020. >> ed: so you wake up this morning thinking you might know who will be the front runner and who has the momentum on the other side and instead a party on the other side talked about russia, interfering in elections and it turns out it's a democratic party themselves having trouble. >> leaders didn't get all their stuff together, it is a stress issue, just didn't have the right app, the right technology to be able to do that and that becomes a problem. it's the same thing we saw was president trump as mentioned before on obamacare when it first launched. this whole emphasis of give it to the government and the government can do everything, give us health care, give us all these things that we can do, doing the election and i was the first thing they have to be able to prove they can actually do

before i turn over the rest of my life to them. i still think it's a smart thing to be able to do. there was something very powerful about individuals they control and have some consistencies in the process. >> ed: he admitted he was disappointed he endorsed former vice president joe biden, said he can't believe they haven't gotten all of this together but then he went on to attack your party over the senate impeachment trial it is close to wrapping up. let's hear him give a fair shot. and your response. >> people have seen this impeachment trial without any new witnesses that should've been called, no new documents. i think that is unfortunately going to be the lasting impact of this impeachment process was a trial that was rigged from day one. i want joe to make his case, but we have an impeachment process that has to conclude by virtue of what the constitution demands. >> ed: referred to joe biden who he has endorsed that he's going to make his case out there. he thinks that you and other

republicans break this. >> that was the opening line for them when they started the very first day, they asked for 11 different amendments, people saying these are all the things we didn't do in a house, we would like the senate to do and it made the political argument very clear for them. went to go as fast as they could and then drag it out as long as they possibly could in the senate, not to gain more information, they needed that information and had every ability to be able to get it. said the president said no, he wouldn't turn over immediately but president clinton and didn't either, i was in the house when we were dealing with fast and furious, three years he pushed back and said he's not going to turn over documents. you go through the process and make a right, their goal was in gathering information, they knew from the beginning that their goal was to drag it out as long as they could. >> ed: now we see the finish line which could be an acquittal vote as early as tomorrow. you're going to speak on the floor later, what are your thoughts about your democratic colleague joe manchin saying hang on a second, maybe there

should be a censure of the president, the call was inappropriate but he shouldn't be removed. are you open-minded about a censure vote or no? >> when i look at the facts around the call and you get all the details on it, the way both the money was sent to ukraine and the timing of it when everyone seems to be leaving out as the timing was the same. the democrats in the house are focused on 2019 saying this is some anomaly. that timing was consistent with other years. joe manchin ends up voting with the republicans on this impeachment saying this is not an impeachable offense, that would be the first time in the history of the country a democrat has not voted straight party on an impeachment vote. >> ed: democrats could potentially vote to acquit, so what you're saying is it would essentially be a bipartisan acquittal which you when the president and others would be able to say we've moved on here. >> was bipartisan opposition, i

assume this would be bipartisan opposition in the senate as well, saying this is not an impeachable offense and you look at all the facts, this is a nonstory. >> ed: do you think the president will be able to resist spiking the football tonight because of what you're saying about the potential for a bipartisan acquittal and more broadly and importantly on the substance, what do you want to hear from the president about the agenda moving forward? >> there's a lot of good news. i think you'll stay focused on the good news, all the positive things that are happening with jobs, trade issues, we have had nafta issues for a long time, china doing a phase one trade deal there, all these things were very helpful to the country as a whole. every worker, everybody every state, i think the president will focus on that. i doubt it will get into impeachment at all but i would fully expect on wednesday when the impeachment vote is done if he has cleared he will spike the football on wednesday but i wouldn't guess it would be tonight. >> ed: it'll be a touchdown when he scores on acquittal,

spike the football a political rally but not tonight. >> then he's back right up again thursday night for the national breakfast thursday morning and that's not the spot to talk about either but he'll come up and make a pretty clear statement. to make more deaths now blamed on the coronavirus worldwide with more countries confirming new cases of the disease, we are live with brand-new details. plus, president trump preparing for his third state of union address tonight as the senate moves closer to a vote on his impeachment trial. chief of staff to vice president mike pence will be joining us next with what to expect from the president's speech tonight. >> going to be a great week for this president and i was with him in florida last weekend and it is amazing to me that he still is focused on what's next. he is looking ahead already to next week and work that has to be done.

vice president pence is chief of staff, appreciate your time this morning, thank you. obviously, there is a lot to get reaction to here this morning but first, a look ahead to what we will hear from the president tonight. >> i think the president is excited to talk about everything they've accomplished in the last three years, the media coverage has been focused on this sham

investigation and impeachment but tonight has an opportunity to say in the last three years, had a remarkable economic turnaround, 7 million new jobs, lowest unemployment ever for african-americans, hispanic-americans, asian-americans, disabled americans, a record number of women employed today, it's a phenomenal story. he see what happens with marcus today, he will talk about the economic turnaround. also talked about american strength and you see while democrats have been focused on this part is partisan impeachment, this president has actually been staying focused and negotiating new trade deals with mexico and canada, a new trade deal with china and at the same time eliminating the most dangerous terrorists in the world, so it's a remarkable story that the president has to tell and i look forward to seeing him on the national stage. >> sandra: no doubt there is a lot to tout on the economy. when you look at the surging stock market again today up 455 points, the dow watching that. hugh mentioned the historic

drop, unemployment rate at a historic low. what you hear from many democrats as this is not an economy that benefits everyone. this is gretchen whitmer doing the democratic response to the state of the union tonight. here she is making that case. >> i think i'll talk about the economy and try to take credit for wall street, but the fact of the matter is it doesn't matter what's going on in the stock market to so many iowans, weeding economy that is strong, for the teacher using her own money to buy school supplies over the small business owner that has to make payroll at the end of the week. >> sandra: how do you counter that this is not an economy that benefits everyone? >> the american people know better. the average disposable income for an average family has increased $5,000 for the last few years and you look at the actual lower 50% and net wealth and that the greatest increase

in net wealth relative to the top 1% during the trump era. so the numbers belie with the democrats are saying but the reality is that this president has a great story to tell for all americans and their economic achievements and if democrats want to talk about the economy, that's great. we would love to have that debate the democrats looking at what they accomplished or didn't accomplish during the eight years of the obama administration and a stagnant economy that averaged less than 2% growth relative to what this administration is accomplishing. to mark the president responding to what we saw play out in iowa last night with this tweet this morning, democratic caucus is an unmitigated disaster rights the, nothing worse just like they ran the country. remember, "the five" billion dollar obamacare web site that should have cost 2% of that. the only person that can claim a very big victory last night's trump. how was the president, vice president and his staff reacting to what we saw in iowa last night and still have no results?

>> met with a lot of people in iowa, talked about the success of this administration, i think we look at it and believe just because the democratic party fumbled the football doesn't mean you blame the entire state and i think we relish the tradition of iowa being first. i think this administration is pleased with our success in iowa and what we have done as well. but you look at what happened on the president's right to ask if democrats can even run a caucus, how do you trust them to run the country? to my questioning whether they should be the first in the nation. here he is. >> the people of iowa are wonderful. they're wonderful people who take their role seriously but when everything is plain as day but we are seeing right now and the lack of results is this simply is not the way we can keep doing this. was a complete mess. >> sandra: i hear your sympathy coming from the

white house over the state and the many volunteers on the ground there and still no results, but final thoughts on iowa, do you think that there will eventually be any change? >> i don't think there will be change. i think i would being the first in the nation is fine. also you've seen a lot of democrats make the case and complaining about iowa that iowa shouldn't be first because it is not diverse enough as far as race or color but the reality is you look at the democrat party and their identity politics the top three candidates now between sanders, biden, bloomberg are all older white men. it's fallen off their slate so it's ironic they are now claiming that their party is the one that needs to choose a different state. i think this president is focused on doing what he did last night winning iowa decisively and going on to new hampshire next. >> sandra: does he think he can win again?

>> he has a remarkable record of not just promises made by promises delivered. whether it's the economy, national security, promises he made about paris climate deal, moving the embassy to jerusalem, he has a phenomenal record and you will hear that tonight. >> sandra: i want to finally end with impeachment as we know the senator speaking on the senate floor today, 10 minutes each they get to make their final statements before the vote comes up on the articles of impeachment tomorrow in the senate. what is the president saying about that this morning and expectations for what happens next? >> we think they will be a bipartisan vote to acquit the president and the senate. not going to waste the american people's time, it's been several months pursuing a hoax and the reality is your viewers know the money to ukraine was released in time, we actually provided aid

to ukraine when the previous democrat refused to give it to them. i think this has been a complete sham with the president has stayed focused completing significant trade deals making sure america is safer by eliminating terrorists and democrats are focused on a sham impeachment in the american people are tired of it. >> sandra: we will hear from the president himself state of the union happening tonight. appreciate your time from the white house this morning. >> ed: you never guess who i ran into, senator john kennedy. were planning to do this but you told me you want to talk about iowa. >> one in the world is going on? >> i don't know who was in charge, but whoever it was, i wouldn't let them manage a food truck. i feel so bad for the people of iowa. >> bernie sanders says he wants to take on health care and all these other big things as well. >> since most of my democratic friends are running a socialist, it's appropriate everybody gets a trophy. everybody is treated the same but you are right. these folks want to take over

and run health care for america, i don't think so. >> that was impromptu and we appreciate your quick thoughts, back after the break from washington. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ be stronger... with nicorette coated ice mint. layered with flavor. it's the first and only coated nicotine lozenge. for an amazing taste... ...that outlasts your craving. nicorette ice mint. for an amazing taste... ...most people thinkr craving. as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner. we keep companies ready for what's next.

>> sandra: fox news alert on the fast spreading coronavirus, health officials scrambling to contain the outbreak with at least 427 people that have now died including the first fatality in hong kong. with more than 20,000 cases confirmed worldwide. 11 right here at home.

i live in atlanta with the very latest on what we are learning now. jonathan? >> chinese authorities confirming that they died in a hospital just this morning, this marks the second death outside of the chinese mainland. the first one occurred in the philippines involving a 44-year-old chinese man who had traveled from wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak died at a hospital in manila and that has prompted the philippines to deny entry to noncitizens from china. >> there was no reason it should interfere with international travel and trade. we call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent. >> u.s. officials say the latest science is what's informing their actions to slow the virus is spread into this country. denying entry to most foreign nationals who recently traveled to china and are imposing mandatory quarantines of up to

14 days on u.s. citizens returning from the city of wuhan and its surrounding province. the state department is planning additional flight similar to one that landed at the reserve base in california last week to evacuate americans from wuhan. >> bringing some medical supplies in the context of those aircraft traveling into the region but we are working closely and hand-in-hand with the chinese government trying to resolve what is now this global epidemiological challenge. >> the first patient to test positive has been released from a seattle-area hospital that is recovering in isolation at home under the supervision of public health officials. the 35-year-old man is believed to have been infected with the virus while visiting family in wuhan. they were currently 11 confirmed coronavirus cases in the u.s., all of them but 2 involving travelers coming from infected regions of china and the other

two cases involve spouses of some of those travelers. to maxwell that we don't know about the spread of this virus, thinking. >> ed: president trump set to deliver his state of the union address tonight expected to highlight his accomplishments. faking a prime time case for his reelection essentially ahead of the senate impeachment vote and a contentious general election. a political congressional reporter joins me alive now. thank you for coming in. so what is your thought about big picture this whole question about whether or not the president is going to mention impeachment, he said he bets the president will wait to spike the football and stick think? >> it might be wishful thinking but i will say the president has been very restrained on twitter throughout this impeachment trial but as you know, the president is a counter puncher, this is a starting gun, he might be fired up, he might feel

emboldened on the eve of the likely acquittal vote so i wouldn't be surprised. it's going to be incredible. this is the first time coming face-to-face with these democrats, he is going to be in the very room when they voted on impeachment. but democrats, they have been impeaching the president the past few months, i think the president has an opportunity here to draw in contrast with democrats and say while they are busy doing that, i'm trying to work out a deal. >> ed: let's talk about that contrast because he would argue is not just the last few months but going back to his inaugural that democrats were starting to talk about impeachment. has an op-ed in "the wall street journal" this morning that says whether you prefer make america great is great again or keep america great, he is again selling greatness. the democrats challenges to produce an equally optimistic counterargument that does not sound as though they are as sour about american greatness as they are about the american and the white house. he makes an important point because since nancy pelosi was

elected speaker again, they have talked a good game about focusing on these issues and instead have focused on investigating the president. >> the big question is can they work together? they talk about infrastructure, lowering prescription drug prices and democrats to risk looking the sour if they are of boycotting the state of the union, it's an opportunity for both sides to strike a unifying tone and try to work on these issues that voters care about. >> ed: a bunch of democrats, georgia democratic rep john lewis, hank johnson, has been ill recently we should point out, all been rooting for him as he battles disease but has been very critical of the president saying i have not attended a prior trump state of the union address is and will not attend tuesday nights. i don't believe the president

has the character or veracity necessary to address congress from that podium and is not worthy of the dignity and respect afforded to his predecessors. that's the kind of statement as you know that sort of fires of the presidents followers that regardless of where they agree to disagree on policy, they do not afforded him basic respect. >> also one of the democrats and the judiciary committee who infamously brought a bucket of chicken to one of the hearings. so he has been a thorn in the side of the president. he has been a thorn in the side of the president for a while. he has boycotted past state of the unions before but just a reminder there is still a bitter divide in congress right now and it is all playing out against a backdrop of impeachment. >> ed: so the idea that two sides are going to come together to get anything done seems remote, especially a report that the president and the speaker haven't even spoken since

october. >> it's been months since i've spoken, this is the first time they will see each other in election years are always hard to get anything done legislative wise we will just have to wait and see. >> ed: we appreciate you coming in. >> sandra: the super bowl, one of the biggest and most expensive sporting events of the year, how did someone who snagged a pricey seat down in miami managed to fall asleep at the big game? we go beyond the headlines with that next.

>> sandra: it is time to go beyond the headlines where we take a break from the fast-moving new cycle in today we focus on that super bowl's news a fan who dozed off during the very exciting game and he woke up a viral video star.

joining us now, comedian and host of the quiz show every day on fox nation. these tickets were going for $10,000, he fell asleep at the big game? >> you've got to catch a nap. i believe the last time, got bumped by breaking news and we were going to talk about the fact that americans don't get enough sleep so this guy is doing what he has to do to catch a couple of z's and i just noticed on that block, of all major sports, the nfl has the least actual game time playing during the broadcast so there's plenty of time to catch a nap during the game, i think everybody should do it. >> sandra: unbelievable. so carissa maxwell is a sports journalist who got that footage of the man sleeping at the big game. she tried to follow up with him because it did go viral and everyone was talking about it and he or she writes this. "i realize everyone was expecting an update on the sleeping man. following have time, i

hesitantly walked up and asked them for an interview to find out more. he was clearly annoyed and i would say he needs to relax, but. >> relaxing is not a big problem for him. i wasn't paying attention to the game either, was looking around for people to film. >> sandra: she was keeping her eyes peeled, there are so many festivities going on down in miami, so much going on around the game and it is not just about the actual game, so many parties so he took a nap, then to this, a statement from the organizers of the in memoriam event where they're going to say good-bye to some well-known hollywood celebrities. media personalities have been dying off at an alarming rate due to unforgivable misconduct, time to pour one out for these antiheroes one last time. what is happening here? >> these are a bunch of

comedians doing a fake in memoriam because when they do that at the oscars and any award show now, they play the sad music and you see the people that died during that year. these people's careers died because they were kicked out of hollywood for various reasons. i think it's fine to poke fun at this kind of thing but my problem is they put poor lori laughlin, she was canceled so her career as in memoriam but they put her up alongside of people like kevin spacey and harvey weinstein and i don't think her offense matches that and i also don't think her career is over. i think we will see her again. i know she got canceled from her show but she will come back. she has fans and she's gotten adorable smile and i dare say i think we will see her daughter as well. >> sandra: was scarlett johansson on the list? >> she was not on the list but no one is immune. i said no one is safe from being canceled. last year, scarlett johansson

was almost canceled because she had the temerity to say that she could play anyone from any culture because she's an actress. up at the cultural warriors said no, you can't play someone who is not of your race so they will cancel you for anything now. >> sandra: we are not going to cancel you, good to have you back. >> ed: 2020 democrats still waiting on those results from iowa as they push ahead to new hampshire, the next big stop on the primary calendar. he's got some brand-new reaction and he joins me live straight ahead. ♪you make everything... groovy...♪ done yet? yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry. you sure? hmm.mmm. ♪come on, come on, wild thing.

>> ahead on "outnumbered," we await a top of the hour news conference, a call between the iowa democratic party and the

2020 campaign. will this and the caucus chaos? you are saying no. will we finally get the first in the nation floating results? i think you're still saying you know. >> plus, the president delivers his state of the union address tonight. we are told it will be optimistic and forward looking for with tomorrow, republicans are urging him to avoid talking impeachment. so will he? >> he will do what he wants to do. so we will be covering all of it. that plus our guest in the middle, who will be "outnumbered" a top of the hour. >> sandra: we will be watching. for the first time, now hearing several of those 911 calls from the helicopter crash that killed kobe bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and seven others. some callers warning about bad weather conditions from that d day. >> do you have the nearest address or cross street for that? >> i'm on the trail, i can hear this, didn't see it, just heard

a boom. >> a helicopter crash into a mountain, we heard it in malibu canyon. >> sandra: the first time hearing those calls, the investigators are now looking into whether conditions as a potential cause of that crash. >> ed: president trump on the verge of acquittal as early as tomorrow as they gear up for a final vote on impeachment. he is the chief deputy with a thin member of the ways and means committee. >> looks like tomorrow, do you think that somehow both parties after that will put the arms down and find a way to come together? >> we have a lot of issues that we need to address and a lot of the issues the president ran on in 2016 are still very much present. infrastructure, we have a plan we put on the table, a framework

of a plan, a president that at one point was ready to move forward on that, maybe get a restart on those conversations and prescription drugs is an issue we've been talking about. my guest for example is a diabetic individual, $1,000 out of pocket, the president has indicated he wants to do something, send a signal today there might be something about that. we can focus on that, we can make some progress. >> ed: he has been a critic of the president for a long time as you know and said i'm not going to sit there and watch him week from this podium, he is not worthy of the dignity and respect according to his predecessors. your colleagues are saying a similar so i get that u.s. chief deputy, he want to try to cut some deals with this president. you have folks on the left that don't want any part of it. >> i understand their point of view, i don't get along with the president all that well and disagree with him on a lot of issues but if i start deciding whether i'm going to sit on the floor of the house based on

something that's enjoyable or comfortable, i wouldn't be spending a lot of time there. this is part of the job the way i do it. and i have to give the president the opportunity even though we don't know if you will take it, the opportunity to put forward an agenda we might be able to sink our teeth into. he does, i am there. not, he's going to hear from me but at least have to give him that opportunity. >> ed: you believe it's jobs for your state of michigan, how difficult is it going to be for your party, president is going to be laying out his case for election in the state of the union. the president is building on that. creating jobs, unemployment and record lows, how important. >> argument has to be that our policies that continue to leave

some people behind we need to address those. dressed flint, michigan, our community that has been left behind by periods of economic growth, i have ideas about how we ought to address those communities, of the president is willing to join with us on that, have to take them up on it and if not, going to be critical of them for not doing that. >> ed: a big chaos in iowa, i'm sure you woke up with mixed feelings. you want your state of michigan to become first in the nation, other democrats were more worried about getting these results, what is going on here and how frustrated are you that after all this planning and everything, it looks like your party is in some disarray? to be clearly they made some mistakes, didn't plan for this moment very well. ultimately, they will have a result that i'm confident that result will be a reflection of the caucuses. i just don't like caucuses and i don't like the fact that iowa goes first so from my point of view, never let an opportunity pass. i'm going to continue to argue

that we do away with this caucus system and not put iowa in a position where it somehow gets to be the first voice of support. >> ed: that criticism is trending on social media, at a republican senator joining us from iowa pushing back and saying it should retain that status. what is your case for how a state like michigan a few weeks from now to go first instead of this archaic caucus system. >> more diverse in terms of its economy, its population, a state that benefits both from agriculture policy and manufacturing policy, racial minorities, rural areas and older urban areas, all of the challenges they face in the nation, we face virtually all of those where is in another place that might not be so much the case and it distorts the process so the folks who choose in iowa do have an outside influence on who comes out of iowa with a chance to go into michigan or

south carolina. >> ed: so we will find out shortly who is coming out of iowa with a head of steam or not. you have not endorsed anybody in the democratic primaries yet, what is it going to take for you? it could be four or five people coming out of iowa, a split decision, where you leaning out? >> i figured my role is to be a voice for michigan no matter who our nominee is so i decided some time back, i'm just going to put michigan's agenda in front of everyone of these candidates and try to force them to deal with what we have in our state so that when they become whoever it is, michigan will be a part of that conversation. >> ed: trying to leverage the power as much as he can. thank you. >> sandra: president trump on the eve of an expected acquittal in the senate delivering his third state of the union address. he is expected to strike an optimistic tone touting a robust u.s. economy and his accomplishments in office but will he stick to the script?

announced, i have a good feeling we are going to be doing very, very well here in iowa.
