>> iowa republicans told her democratic counterparts take all their time -- all the time they need. make it accurate. sean, back to you. >> sean: thank you. as the president said, the best is yet to come. a big show tomorrow night, here's laura. ♪ >> i'm laura ingraham and mrs. the ingraham angle from a buzz in washington tonight. midnight hero on the east coast, the historic state of the union address from president donald trump. it stood in sharp contrast to the pettiness from pelosi and most democrats in the chamber. of course the rousing speech comes on the heels of the democrat party completely embarrassing itself in iowa, but they want to run a country. they can't even run a caucus. so sad. we can't miss the reaction we are going to have tonight from eric trump, congressman steve scalise, sara carter, matt schlapp, victor davis hanson and more. and raymond arroyo is also here. he's going to take us through some of the most revealing

moments from inside the house chamber tonight. and the man who replaced john bolton as national security advisor, ambassador robert o'brien. he joins me tonight to tell us what will change under his stewardship. the first, the not ready for prime time democrats. that's the focus of tonight's angle. the democrats bungling of the iowa caucuses, it shouldn't have surprised anyone paying attention to this party lately. after all, what have they actually accomplished over the past three years? think about it. watching this party operate in the trump era has been like watching a slow moving car cra crash. >> chaos and confusion in the iowa caucus. >> it so awkward, so embarrassing. >> this is an unmitigated disaster. >> a horrible showing. >> just pathetic. >> it's pathetic. embarrassing. >> this is a disaster and available for democrats and for iowa. >> laura: when you really think about it, last night was a

perfect embodiment of the democrats's abysmal record. when they revamp health care it fails. when they set up a website, it fails. >> there certainly are some challenges that could be smoother, it could be easier to access. >> nobody says the site is working the way we wanted to. >> laura: when they try to go head-to-head with china, they fail. when they're supposed to protect our personnel abroad, they fail. and then they lie about it. >> it began spontaneously and benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in cairo, where of course as you know there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video. >> laura: i will never forget that. when they promise to improve race relations, they fail. they're just not capable of doing the job.

>> i'm sorry, you're fired. get out of here. >> laura: and the brilliant answer to the election of a populist america-first president, donald trump back in 2016, was to what, move their party further to the left. the party establishment allowed radicals to have outsized influence, which meant obama's party of hope and change became aoc's party of revenge and socialism. and of course endless investigation. this is a party whose nominating process is already ruined. with joe biden, the only guy who maybe had a chance of a broad-based appeal is left now staggering toward new hampshire. >> you know, i really think what's on the ballot this time his character. character is on the ballot this time. >> i'm counting on you, to make sure you send me off in a way that there's nothing to come back from yet, but i would like you to rocket me out of her to

make sure this thing works, okay? >> laura: okay. contrast all of this, all of this chaos with one of the most successful presidencies, if not the most successful presidency of the modern era. >> their economy is the best it has ever been. our military is completely rebuilt. our families are flourishing. our values are renewed. our pride is restored. and for all of these reasons i say to the people of our great country and to the members of congress, the state of our union is stronger than ever before. >> laura: well, he deserved to take a bow at tonight's state of the union. incredible list of accomplishments, and incredible track record. by any objective standard, if there is fairness left in any avenue of the media, peace and

prosperity, it's made possible by trump's america first policies. they are actually implement it and they work. from trade to border enforceme enforcement, from pressuring nato on dues to deregulation, this agenda is improving the lives of americans at all income levels, all ethnicities, all races. >> the on employment rate for african-americans, hispanic-americans and asian-americans has reached the lowest levels in history. >> laura: there was hesitation for the democrats to apply for that, by the way. by the way, he did all of this -- all of this -- while being hounded and investigated and defamed relentlessly by democrats. and you know what? the democrats don't trust you to choose your own president in november. they were afraid of you. if they don't like you very mu much. check out these polls though. on the trump economy, well, his

approval rating is a staggering 63% today by gallup. in the g.o.p. writing trump's coattails. 51% of americans viewed the g.o.p. favorably. that's up 8% since september. heck of a job, adam. if the first time the republicans favorability has exceeded 50% since 2005! heck of a job, nancy. it's trump's party now. again, this is all a sharp contrast to those democrats who just couldn't set aside even for one night their hatred of this president. all the democrats know how to do is punish wealth creators, apologized for america, level baseless accusations and play the victim card. they trashed the successful while demanding handouts for the

lawbreakers. after what they've put this nation through, this president through, and even their own party through, the democrats need to lose the next election, and badly. they need to lose the house after this epic impeachment bungle. and they need to lose the presidency by a larger margin than last time. trump has to pick up more stat states. then maybe -- and then maybe next time they'll offer a realistic plan to actually grow the economy in the real world. then maybe they'll understand how to use leverage and trade in foreign policy. if somehow any of these top democrats won the presidency -- by the way, they actually wouldn't run the government. the government would run them. so the swamp in the deep state, when they don't have anyone to fight against or plot against that they do withdraw or resist its over for you and me. our freedom, our prosperity, forget it, down the tubes. the graceless democrats must be

held accountable by the voters for their gross dereliction of duties, their vicious campaigns and notifications and frankly, after last night, their sheer incompetence at all levels. finally, trump is getting us back to an america where excellence is rewarded and not punished. where borders matter, where objective facts matter, where results matter. and you bet where accountability matters. so now is a time certainly not to turn it over to the b team or more accurately the d team. if we stay the course, you bet as sinatra sang -- >> ♪ the best is yet to come. won't it be fine ♪ >> laura: i'm telling you you've got to replace that mr. president. rolling stones out the door. put in chairman of the board. and that's the angle. joining me now, sara carter, fox news contributor, host of

the sara carter podcast, also with mema, match lap. chairman of the american conservative union in house minority whip deep skillets. sarah, man, the list of accomplishments in three years with all these angles they filed on his back going after -- we're going to talk to eric trump in a few moments. and then that graceless response from the democrats. that tells the story. if anyone is watching in america, that tells you all need to know about where we're headed. >> that's right, tells you all about where you need to know about where the democrats are headed in that is to lose the 2020 election, because believe me, this wasn't just ripping up president trump's speech. it wasn't about president trump, it was about all the people that were standing there representing the american people, veterans like my husband, who where they are being honored by president trump as well as others were there fighting opioid addiction. and i think the president did something that was so remarkable tonight, it was so powerful. he actually reached out and

brought the american people on for the ride. he said you are the reason for this great success. it's you the american people that made this happen. this isn't about me. i wouldn't be here without you. and with the democrats did was actually stunning and disgraceful and they are going to pay for it in 2020. >> laura: must've been around on lemons and all the giants at safeway's in town. i've never seen a sari a bunch of-looking people than at the speech. nancy is doing everything, looking around, fixing her nails. i don't know what she was doing, matt, but those little images, she might have thought she was being cute and defiant. i think most regular people think not cool. >> if i were a political cartoonist i'd love to do like a motorcycle, took over of your mirrors when he decided trump 'space. if he could have seen what pelosi was doing behind him think actually realize he's having a big effects. or when they are quick children, remember al gore and the 2000 debates with george w. bush with all his signing them open, making noises, she looked too childish and i think the american people -- you go through all the lists that sarah

just talked about and you talked about in your angle, i have to say when people say he's the greatest president, the greatest conservative president. i back away from that, but then i listen to the list. it's spectacular. we all have to the american people what's going on, because guess what? there's not too many places on the dial where they can hear the truth. >> laura: congressman scalise, the other networks response, their faces told the story of how great the speech was tonight and how formidable this list of accomplishments. this is how jake tapper described it. >> i thought the whole evening with a few exceptions like the tuskegee airmen and a soldier returning from afghanistan, was pretty partisan on both sides. president trump gave a speech that was really not aimed for most of it on uniting the room or uniting the country. >> laura: reaction. >> they are in meltdown. adjuster member, jake tapper had to tweet out earlier today that president trump had a 49% approval rating.

highest rating he's had, you talk about 50% g.o.p. rating. these numbers are scaring them to death. when they watch the meltdown they had in iowa -- what a contrast. a party that cannot run an election. i mean, you could probably pay some college kids with a case of beer to write an app to count votes for less than 200,000 people. if they couldn't pull it off last night. so now they want to run the country. they want to make a case when president trump lists all the accomplishments like matt said, these are real compliments that are benefiting every family that was left behind. millions of people. the working men and women that washington had left behind. republican-democrat like that president trump reached out to four years ago, they voted for him. they are going to show up again in november to reelect this president because he's delivered on his promises. >> laura: iowa was something to behold. we've heard the last three years the democrats complaining that trump is hurting people's faith in the democratic process. that people aren't going to trust votes anymore because of trump and russia.

and who's to blame? they actually -- and some people tried to blame trump for iowa. i've seen some "new york times" reporter saying well, he shook the faith in the system, and that was kerosene on the fire in iowa. i think maggie abraham tweeted something. >> that's just nonsense. if anything, the democrats have basically lost faith in themselves. and let's talk about this app. this is so important to the democrats. so important to them and they can even manage to get there after work. he didn't even take the offer from the department of homeland security to basically test of the app, so now we're going to put them in charge? they're going to win the election come up with them in charge of, what, our health care? everything else that they want to do, socialize everything so they can have these horrendous apps and websites to basically manage the american people? >> laura: our experts are better than their experts. our cabinet, trump 'his cabinet is better than any cabinet and i think in my lifetime without a doubt. who are the elites here?

they've been wrong on china, the housing bubble. they screwed up on foreign policy, bungle after foreign policy bungle. they couldn't do a deal with europe. they couldn't do a deal with china. they couldn't do usmca. trump has shown them up on every level and it's driving them bananas. >> this is the thing -- >> laura: they're crazy. >> this is the thing at the outset of president which we had a lot of people say we don't know how he will act as president. >> laura: opera ten. >> they are saying where we collected two any republicans except for the guy to my left the premises things that are empty words and don't do it. donald trump that i'm actually going to do the list, but more specifically, he would say don't get stuck just philosophical words, how is it working for the middle class? if it's not working we are going to discard it. he strong practical thinking, common sense. >> that's what businesspeople do. >> laura: it says a lot about common sense appeal. it's like what your own mask on before you try to help others on the plane. if america was going down we can't up the world, we can't rebuild the world if we are ailing ourselves and he took that to heart.

and i saw the president with a lot of heart tonight. we are going to get into some of this with raymond arroyo later. but i teared up several times during the speech tonight. i was -- whether it was rush limbaugh or the soldier, but i know every president does those. but he hurts deeply for these american military personnel. >> this president more than anybody cares so much about law enforcement, our men and women in uniform. he rebuilt our military at a time -- keep this in mind. president trump took office, we had more men and women in uniform dying from training exercises more than combat missions. buy a five to one margin. flying on a plane, training at an american military base. you had a higher likelihood of dying than being in afghanistan. he fixed it. when that soldier walked in and his wife and kids were there, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. but to watch democrats sitting, sitting instead of applauding, killing of terrorists. sitting instead of applauding. a girl being able to get opportunities in life because

she doesn't have to go to a failing school. >> laura: that was revealing. of course rush limbaugh, who announced his cancer -- just dear friend of mine and inspiring to so many. >> he was truly touched. >> laura: you see the president is very close with him and then to hear members of the u.s. media and their comments, watch. >> he was trying to make appeals to the african-american community. it can't be forgotten that he was awarding the metal -- rush limbaugh who has a history of making derogatory comments about african-americans. >> laura: jim acosta is disgusting. it was a disgusting comment. i disgusting comment and false. >> is absolutely false. this has been the narrative of the democrats. this is what we saw in the obama administration. you played susan rice. lying to the american people. they lied to the american people continuously. if the russian hoax was a bunch of lies. they've used of the media and their friends in the media unfortunately to disseminate all of these false narratives.

but what makes this so remarkable is that the american people aren't buying it. they are not buying it. >> laura: every time they lose they cry racism. every time they lose they say you're a mean or opposing a foe. it's insult after insult with the accused trump off, match left, it's what they do routinely. >> that's right, and when jerry nadler's wife is sick with cancer, i tell you what, i saw a lot of tweets from political enemy saying this is where -- >> laura: god bless her -- >> god bless rush. >> laura: an american hero for so many reasons. for if you, thank you for being here tonight, important night for the country. victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institute is joining me now. victor, president trump touted his biggest achievements of course, including all the experts they thought it was impossible to do a deal like the usmca, china trade deal. so he's reshaping politics for the republican party and also i think reshaping it for the democrats. >> i think he is. he's taken two or three of the major issues of our time and in

2016 he took positions that people said that he was either dangerous or crazy. and now they've become orthodox. we thought that china was for like the great and powerful oz with his picture on the screen that was going to take over the world, 2,030 and then trump pulled away the curtain and their small minded people with gears and levers. think what he did. the tariff -- the t word you weren't supposed to even speak and he's winning the first round of the trade war and it's almost like it's caused an internal nervous breakdown we learn about this, orwellian surveillance system and with 1 million people in reeducation camps, the coronavirus, the hong kong protest and the democracy activists. the whole country is imploding. then he looked at the middle east and he said the palestinians are not the key to peace in the middle east. i mean, they've been refugees for 75 years, we are going to move the embassy, get out of the iran deal, they don't have to give back the golan heights and syria, we will not give any more money to the u.n. all of people are saying you

can't do that i know most people save wow of the real problem is iran and the arab nations are lining up with israel and us and the palestinians are no longer the global cause and everybody has sort of accepted that. >> laura: victor -- that was nuts. >> laura: you and i have been saying a lot of this for a long time and people laughed at us, whether it was on china, how to deal with north korea, all the issues with trade and outsourcing all of our jobs and we were called restriction nest end. all the things. now trump shows that if you focus on america and make us stronger and make it harder for companies to outsource and keep jobs here, you'll actually put a downward pressure in the right places and wages will start coming up. that's actually worked. i got to play something for you. this is cnn's harry antin talking about the lack of enthusiasm among the democrats, watch. >> you go back to four years ago, already what democratic party has said is

it's about the same exact turnout. that is not particularly good. it's not as strong as it was in 2008. there is supposed to be all this excitement among the democratic party. wanting to be donald trump. maybe there's a little bit of enthusiasm problem for democrats going forward. >> laura: victor, quickly, don't you agree, this is -- -- >> they had three bad days. >> laura: obama. >> three bad days in february. the iowa caucuses an and a pathc performance by nancy pelosi and the democrats and tomorrow is not going to get any better with the end of impeachment. i think the better take a look in the mirror and say, you know what, we have to have an agenda, we don't have an agenda other than trump the demon, we have to abort his presidency. that doesn't work because he's a master of public relations experts and he's got issues where he is not invested in the status quo. he looks at the world the way it is, not the way it's supposed to be, or he wanted to be. he's a realist and they are not. >> laura: victor, so it's great to see you. especially on a night like tonight, thanks so much. and coming up, has this already

been the most successful two weeks of the trump presidency? steve cortez with some polling details, going to shock you. plus, raymond arroyo brings us the most revealing moments from tonight's state of the union straight ahead. when life changes, so do your taxes.

>> laura: before president trump delivered his stupendous address, gallup approval rating, well, look at this. it's not the highest it's ever been at 49%. four points higher than obama was the same time in 12. that tells us anything about 2020? no, it's just an anomaly, right? editor at large for -- steve cortez i'm a spokesman for america first pack. scott, what does this speech -- every president wants to tout his accomplishments. that's nothing new, everyone has

someone in the gallery. but what about the last couple of weeks and then ending with tonight in the state of the union month tomorrow with his acquittal, what does it tell us? speak of the first thing is this gallup poll tells us if the ultimate repudiation of the impeachment process and all the obsessions of official washington. voters are seeing strong economy, the president talked about tonight. they are feeling good about where the nation is. they are basing their opinions on reality, not political rhetoric. and what it says tonight -- what the speech did tonight to show us just how difficult it is to campaign -- how it's going to be very difficult for the democrats to campaign against a track record like this. you've got peace and prosperity. you really want to be the incumbent president. >> laura: 63% approval rating for the economy. >> on the economy, that's right. >> laura: steve, there's a lot of good news for the president with minority voters, at least their sentiment about things stand today, tell us. it's because also 49% -- this is

a member, by the way, that has to have democratic strategists in the media alice just pulling their hair out. 49% approval in that same gallup poll among minorities for president trump on the economy. that's an astounding number. and it builds on a fox news number from the latest fox news poll, which show 52% approval among hispanics on the issue of the economy for president trump and to tie it into tonight's speech. if you watch that speech, this was really a tour de force of american exceptionalism and up the president knows that exceptionalism can never be fully complete until minorities start to participate in economic promise of america, which they are now starting to do in record numbers by every metric. and given that, this speech tonight, i thought in many ways, laura, was really targeted -- persuasion to minority americans in terms of the topics presented, the guests who were present. it was extremely effective, and

we know even before the speech based on these polling numbers but this message is resonating with black and brown citizens in this country. >> laura: and scott, we heard van jones on cnn, watched this meant he said, we better pay attention to minority voters. others on his network were kind of blowing up the image, they think it might have connected, but gosh, i mean, you're if you do when you're if you don't if you're president trump. if you don't try to act more inclusively than your trash. if you do, then it's symbolism. he can't win matt, scott. >> you know, the president is never going to win with democrats, but that's not the objective. he's trying to win with voters. in his outreach to african-americans is not going to win him a majority of the african-american vote, but it will increase his support a little bit. his outreach for the hispanic community is going to have an impact. and when you're talking about constituencies that the democratic party feels that have been their most loyal and could

supportive constituencies, that's a real problem. if that's what they're tearing their hair out. an overall support for what's really happening in america. >> laura: it was a fascinating thing to behold. gentlemen, thanks so much. up with us now is raymond arroyo. we have a lot to get to. what was happening, the gestures, facial expressions, sitting, standing tonight that tells us a lot, raymond? this was something to see. it democrats sitting on their hands. >> welcome a lawyer, look, there was something here that really for everybody. if you look closely. i want to show you this. obviously it was the centerpiece of what we saw tonight. pelosi ripping up that state of the union speech. here's the problem, laura. she's whipping up not only things she disagrees with, but the things she stood for, the things she applauded. she's destroying -- the president signs the state of the union address and hands it to the speaker. that petulance, and anger, what we saw there is a glimpse of what fueled this entire

impeachment crusade, laura. and she tried to explain herself. watch. >> that was the courteous thing to do. >> laura: wow. she tried -- well -- >> she tries to toss this out. she grew too great of yourself, it was a despicable play of petulance, temper tantrum. what i see there, one of our twitter followers that may be those with articles of impeachment she's shredding and frustration. >> laura: there angry. raymond, the segment we just did, adam schiff -- gave the republicans an eight-point boost in favorability since september. >> but laura, this was a one-off. this was the culmination of a series of disrespectful moments throughout the state of the union. you'll see here while the president was speaking, the speaker seems as if she's checking her portfolio. well, maybe that's the impeachment manager's reports, i don't know. but she slipping it, reading it, looking at, and analyzing it. and what its overture tears it up like it's trash and throws it away.

i've never seen anything -- >> laura: the most moving moments. >> first of all, there was the tuskegee airmen come with a hundred-year-old charles mccain and his great grandson who was there, that was gorgeous. but then there was two others that had us in tears. first was on the president recognized radio icon rush limbaugh is battling lung cancer and he surprised him this way. >> in recognition of all that you have done for our nation, the millions of people a day that you speak to and that you inspire and all of the incredible work that you have done for charity, i am proud to announce tonight that you will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom. [applause] >> suresh got the metal -- got the presidential medal here. then there was sergeant townsend, williams and his family reunited. a beautiful moment. this is a president, laura, who understands images, he knows how to communicate.

what are going to the pro-life march or acknowledging -- reuniting servicemen and their families -- >> laura: the children were shocked. >> that's what he did today. it was powerful. i had tears and i could hear it all the way down the hall. >> laura: we were crying and nancy pelosi at least when i looked over at her was not standing at that part varied when the soldier came -- the sergeant came. >> petulant, petty, this will not serve her well as the leader of the democratic party. >> laura: women, if there is a gender gap better because it's been a pleasure seeing that tonight. exclusive reaction to the president's state of the union from eric trump.

our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. they help us with achievable steps along the way... so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe? i don't think so... what do you think, peanut? nope! honey, do you think we overdid it? overdid what? see? we don't think so, son. technically, grandparents can't overdo it. it's impossible. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

this day has never wbeen closer.. today, the leukemia and lymphoma society, is leading the way to cancer cures. at lls, beating cancer is in our blood.

♪ >> laura: president trump 'a state of the union speech tonight was just awesome, okay? full of reasons to be proud of a booming economy, more opportunities for the inner-ci inner-city. people across all economic spectrums and of course the touching moment when a u.s. soldier was reunited with his family. but here's msnbc's brian williams immediate take away. >> to the president here engaging for the second time the chief justice, who is sitting as a judge at his impeachment trial, which continues tomorrow. to the republican chance of four more years prior to the start of the speech. the dark parts were dark, the bizarre parts were bizarre. down to the awarding of the medal of freedom. the rush limbaugh. >> laura: you know who's dark and bizarre? and sadly is brian williams.

here now is eric trump, executive vice president of the trump organization. eric, i've got to say, i've been in this town for far too long, longer than i want to admit annexing a lot of state of the union speeches. this was phenomenal. it really was. and it was a little long, but it was okay that it was long, because so many things are going well for america, but the media's take away has to be it was dark. i don't know what speech he was watching. it was incredible! >> it was uplifting, it was a credible. i think my father won reelection today. i really mean that. i've seen every speech is ever given, it been to every state of the union he's ever been a part of. tonight was his finest, finest moment. as americans we should be proud. it was just an incredible day for us. it's been a credible week for us. >> laura: when the president is acquitted tomorrow, this will cap off a week where usmca was signed, they started down the road toward at least a conversation about middle east peace, a plan.

it will be changed and worked on. but of course then the speech where we bring together families who have been separated, rush limbaugh, who -- let me -- a democrat or republican, the man is a broadcasting pioneer whose won every word you can won in radio broadcasting. a couple times. and encouraged a generation of broadcasters. in the bitterness and the meanness, does that stem from there knowing that right now at least it looks dark for them? >> first of all, they had a disastrous week coming out of iowa. iowa, the turnup for my father in an uncontested election was unbelievable. we had hundreds and hundreds of people showing up everywhere we went and trump shorts and everything else, right? they had a disastrous week. he capped it off with a speech done and they are upset. laura, they were talking about -- my father was talk about the lowest on a plane and ever. lowest female on employment, lowest african-american on employment. >> laura: they would not stand for those moments. you see the suits all in

white -- everyone is in white, the women are in white. surrender white. >> jerry nadler sitting back slouching down, pretending to clap. it's disgusting and it turns off americans. >> laura: i think women -- women, we keep hearing about the gender gap with your father. there's a big gender gap. that's repeated over and over again. i think there is something to overcome there. i say to women watching what happened tonight, how do you not take away from this that something is wrong, deeply wrong in the democrat party? you might not like everything that donald trump tweets or says, but when you watch -- the fact that nancy pelosi sits for moments that are positive for women -- >> she ripped up the speech at the end and when they are smug and when they are angry and when they are nasty, especially -- and we have so much to be proud of -- >> laura: walking out. tim ryan, bill paschal, they walked out of the speech. that was their big contribution to the conversation, walking up. >> because they know they lost. they know they lost the same tonight. they know their messages and

resonating. they know their party is in shambles. they can't throw on a basic caucus in iowa. they can't count basic votes -- >> laura: let's go back to iowa. a whole bunch of the radicals who didn't show up? they talk a good game but it was actually dudes, just show up, be grateful. they didn't. the nine of them didn't show up. so you were there in iowa last night, been traveling a lot as is don jr. and everyone is on the road. tell us about what was happening there. the poor democrats. i mean, they are still unsure of what happened. trickled in slowly today. >> i think they were trying to chill for bernie. it's on the square they tried to do that the entire time. biden had a disastrous night in the true winner, not only could they not count the votes. the true winner was trump. every single place we went, every caucus location we went to had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people showing up. again, my father was running uncontested. there's no need for anybody to come up when they were buddies coming in from pat's and bringing their children, it was on believable. the show of support was absolutely beautiful.

>> laura: dan patrick was texting me about 10:00 last night think i just left the precinct. we have record 30,000 people beat obama's number. 10:30 and fox, our show was not on last night because of the coverage. and it was like that tells you something. that that's the statement people want to make. and by the way, i want to get your response to what your dear friend, congressman eric swalwell said before president trump's speech tonight. >> we are not going to stop checking him because we learned for the impeachment process that when you checked donald trump, you stop corruptions. if you not only hold him accountable you shall future presidents with the standard of conduct is. who knows what other corrupt acts is doing right now that we should be looking at. >> laura: it is been a lot of continuing defamation of you, your brother, your family, that continues along with promises of more impeachment. >> of course, because we are winning. he made it exactly six weeks -- he ran for president. >> laura: i forgot. you just remind me. >> got exactly 0% of the vote so it's kind of interesting.

if you can't win on your own enter candidates our disasters an end are doing horribly in iowa and you can't count basic votes and you have no message and trump delivers a great state of the union speech, guess what, go out and make up something, totally override the democratic system in this country and trying to impeach the guy. they keep on crying wolf and it doesn't get them anything and i'm telling you, my father was going to win back the greatest victory in the history of american politics come november because americans see through their nonsense. >> laura: i said in the angle that the democrats have to be punished by the voters for what they've done. elevate the radicals, investigation, impeachment mentality. and the continuing defamation of good people who are doing their best. do you think the voters are going to punish the democrats for what they've done? >> well, they did in iowa last night and i think that's a first test and i think you're going to see that in every single state. my popular stomach father has never been more popular. people are more emboldened to come out and say i am this person. he's done an unbelievable job by every metric.

never cease? >> it's and credible important. if americans were business people overseas, lawyers overseas, aid workers overseas, missionaries and priests overseas. they have to be protected and when these terrorists think they can attack us with impunity, they've learned that president trump, those days are over. >> laura: breathed a surprised at the democrats reaction? it's like they had rocks in the pants, they couldn't get up even at these moments that -- again, i keep saying this, i've been in this town for way too long. when reagan would give a stated that -- democrats would stand up and moments like that, what's changed? >> it's a polarized town. it's sad because there are certain things everybody should get behind. the fact that the military is being rebuilt, the fact that our servicemen and women are fighting wars overseas. if those are things that ought to be beyond potter's and ship. when we take a territory killing americans, those are things we all ought to be able to rally around. i certainly was pleased when president obama looked out osama bin laden. i was happy for him and happy for the country. we need to come back.

>> laura: one pelosi is ripping up the speech, friend of mine just told me that's pelosi ripping up the stories of these americans. >> some of those stories were fantastic. as i told you earlier, i had the honor previous to this job working as a hostage envoy for the it administration. i got to know the family and i had carl and marsha mueller in the office this afternoon, it was great to see them honored and see their daughter -- >> laura: who was held as a -- held, unspeakable things were done to her and she was ultimately murdered by him. and it was great that the president was able to declassify until the story of the task force being named after her special operators that brought justice to him. >> laura: last week we had kellyanne conway on the show and she expressed her concern that there were still people burrowed into the west wing or national security council particularly who were working against the president's agenda.

and who were not helpful to the it administration. are you concerned about that? >> you know, to something that concerns me because when you work on the personal staff of the president -- so it's always disappointing to me when i hear there are people who believe their job is to resist the democratically elected president of the united states. they are his personal staff. if they can't rely on them to implement the policies that the american people -- speeone's are you cleaning house? >> what i said when i came to the nse as i drastically downsize. it has ballooned up to 236 policy professionals from -- we are going to get to the condoleezza rice, we are very close to being there. another week or two i think -- >> laura>> laura: not condoleeze an agenda, but in size? >> in size. i spoke with her, she said we are fighting the global war on terror, afghanistan, iraq, and everything else. we are trying to get back to that size. >> laura: did it grow under john bolton? >> primarily under president obama. it really ballooned up from about 110 to 236 policy

professionals. i kind of laugh when president kennedy took office, he fired all of dwight eisenhower's policy professionals. i think 70 of them at the nsc and got along with 12 people. he handled the cuban missile crisis with 12 policy professionals. so it's bloated. we're going to bring it back to a size that is efficient. and look at some of the folks that are there, really need to want to serve the president. >> laura: john bolton book to the saying trumps as a source wants bolton to be criminal investigative or possibly mishandling classified info. romney, schiff, and adler are also in west wing crossers, what you know but that? speak on the national security advisor, i'm not bill barr or the folks were looking at those issues, but i will say that when you come to work in the white house and are exposed to the nation's most sensitive secrets, classified, compartmented enter information, you have the sacred duty to keep that information private and confidential and whether it was ambassador bolton or others that

have top-secret information, they need to protect it. -- >> laura: doesn't look like he didn't protected. looks like it's writing a book and has lots of stuff in it that should be in it. >> that is something that i think will get sorted out after time -- >> laura: you are not writing a book. >> are not writing is all about. >> laura: coronavirus, china letting you and are not to help? >> china is not letting the w.h.o. an end we will have them on the team and we want to help them look. we want to stop the virus. it's a very serious issue in china, a lot of people are dying. i think the world are 17,000 people infected, and death. that's what we know about. we certainly want to help them to get on that under control. we wanted to learn so much in a drug local pandemic. >> laura: thank you for joining us tonight. busy, busy time for you and we really appreciate your service to this country. and my final thoughts when we come back. on just how amazing this week has been. not just for president trump, but for america. are you sick and tired of looking
