ainsley: for now. brian: it's over. he has been acquitted of both charges. one mitt romney agreed with and one he didn't. 52 and 53 republicans. you didn't get the 67 no votes. so the patient around noon will officially give us his response to the verdict. steve: in fact, about two hours from right now he will be at the 68th annual national prayer breakfast. we will take you there and see what he says about spirituality and things like that. ainsley: he is thanking god this morning, right? can you believe mitt romney defected. steve: i know. brian: in a big way. ainsley: voted with the democrats for abuse of power. steve: "new york times" split senate clears trump on each count in finale of bitter impeachment battle. our long national nightmare is over. there is trump's turn to rip and, in fact, that's exactly what kevin mccarthy said. did you see his tweet credit? let's run it. >> acquitted for life.

brian: and there won't be any ramifications for him ripping that because it wasn't an official document unlike nancy pelosi's choice. there is the story from the house to the senate. and immediately, according to many, a very greed democratic party ran to the microphone to say it was a sham. we didn't have any witnesses. this was rushed through. the president isn't acquitted of anything. i don't know who is listening. ainsley: did you notice when kevin mccarthy ripped it in the background the findlay painting of ronald reagan. you know findlay, he is on our show a bunch. he painted portraits of us. steve: when i held up the daily news our long national nightmare is over i left out the part far from it. they are not happy about what happened. if you are keeping score, according to the "wall street journal," the score is james madison 1, nancy pelosi 0. when you looked at the final tote, it was far from the two thirds super majority that our founders wanted to make sure is required to

knock somebody out of a job when they had the keys air force 1. ainsley: they would need 67. steve: yep. didn't get it. ainsley: in order to impeach. or in order to get him out of office. brian: he said i will be making a public statement tomorrow at 12:00 from the white house to discuss our country's victory on the impeachment hoax. chuck schumer doesn't feel like it was a hoax to our great surprise. >> now that our republican colleagues have rejected a fair trial, truth with a giant asterisk next to the president's acquittal. the asterisk says he was acquitted without facts. he was acquitted without a fair trial. and it means that his acquittal is virtually valueless. steve: and so we're going to -- you know, now that it's really up to the people of the united states, with

the november election to decide whether or not donald trump stays in office, but what you look here going forward is because they were unable to call witnesses, the democrats were, although that's not really the job of the senate was to do that, the republicans are going to have to court the democrats who are going to say there is a cover-up because we didn't get to call witnesses, which is what we are supposed to do. mitch mcconnell said, look, this was political from the get-go. >> this was a thoroughly political maneuver. if it was, it was stupid. it backfired. the president has the best numbers he has had since he has been in office. my members who are in tough races are all looking at better numbers than they were before impeachment started. so, if this was all about the november election, it seems to me we can conclude at least in the short-term here this was a colossal political mistake. brian: in the gallup poll anyway he is up to 49%. it was 39% in september

before the impeachment mess began. right now 56% approve of you who he is handling the economy, up 10 points since this impeachment thing began. 43% say they are very or somewhat worried about maintaining their standard of living. that was 63% a year ago. so people feel better while the president was supposedly going through and our country was supposedly going through things that were supposed to grind us to a halt. yeah, they ground to a halt in washington. it was tedious. it was endless. but overall, it seems to have gone boomerang effect for the democrats who wanted to bloody the president. ainsley: it went on for months and months. they had testimony from 13 witnesses in the senate. depositions from 17 witnesses. 180 senators ask questions or senate questions. 193 witness video clips. 28,000 pages of evidence and despite all of that, congressman jerry nadler said it is likely that they will still subpoena john bolton. >> the senate likely that

your committee or some combination of committees will subpoena john bolton. that's what you are saying? >> sure. >> did the speaker sign off on it? >> excuse me? >> has the speaker signed off on it? >> i don't know. [laughter] brian: is he trapped? steve: nancy pelosi and chuck schumer have done something to actually help donald trump because donald trump's base is motivated. look at it. it was completely partisan. nancy pelosi said back a year ago. this can't work. unless it's bipartisan. and she kept that because she kept that talking point up here because she knew unless she was trying to stand up to the president of the united states and prove to the resistance that she was a good speaker for these times she would have been primaried and many of her members would have been primaried. i am surprised if that does not prove to be the case come november. ainsley: his approval rating

this morning 49%. even those three republicans that are in districts where they could vote the other way, the murkowskis, collins, they voted to acquit him as well. steve: what about doug collins down in alabama. he essentially signed his eviction papers yesterday by voting to convict in a state that overwhelmingly went tore donald trump. that is going to be a political ad from here until the first tuesday in november. doug jones is going to be out. brian: senator sessions, once again, he was going to have a tough time anyway. i don't know if it helps saying reluctantly. he says he reluctantly voted to. steve: that's not even good spin. ainsley: you have all the facts now about the vote yesterday. but now everyone is talking about nancy pelosi ripping those papers and wondering if she pre-ripped. if she pre-tore them. brian: the answer is yes. ainsley: yes. there is evidence. brian: she is making little tears in the back. she acts as if we can't see her.

she is rush limbaugh. she is back there tearing. can you see the tear right there. steve: can you see where she ha has father rating. ainsley: she was stacking those papers. that's what she was doing. steve: it was premeditated. remember of the president came in and did not shake mike pence or nancy pelosi's hand. unhappy with that because he dissed her. he didn't shake either hand. but now she has got to answer for the fact that she tore up an official document. matt gaetz is talking about referring it to the department of justice for destroying a public document. there is also some movement to censure her. lee zeldin was on with laura ingraham last night and said this about all of that pelosi stuff. >> now, she should be censured. it was a disgrace. it was an embarrassment. basically from the inside out, nancy pelosi has poisoned. she is now poisoning the house of representatives and congress and our country

because it started off with her getting rolled by her far left, which has basically taken over the democratic party. brian: lee zeldin last night said that and also jonathan turley wrote. this says nancy pelosi should resign. the house has had its share of infamies great and small real and symbolic and personal infamies from brawls to kaines. but the conduct of nancy pelosi will go down in infamiliar any as a chamber long been a tradition. this is totally unethical. ainsley: do you think she made the decision to make little tiny tears when she was up there. steve: no she was going to do it from the get-go. she wanted the imagery. she got it. brian: to me, it's nuts. it shows how out of control this whole thing is the fact that she was gyrating and staring out and she looked like a kid that just got caught or couldn't wait to reveal something, just staring over to the right and her caucus. and somehow trying to mind

meld with aoc who didn't even show up because that's how they feel about this president. ainsley: i'm going to have the last word. i'm mad at how this is all going in favor of him. he has had a really good week. steve: right. ainsley: i think she was saying i'm going to have the last laugh, last word because i'm so furious that was her way of having revenge. steve: she had to prove to her resistance she was standing up. she has a limited role when she is standing by behind the president of the united states. she knew what she was going to do and she did it. if she winds up getting censured or ethics violation, that is crazy. by the way, regarding mitt romney, it was bipartisan in the vote for conviction by one. mitt romney -- note "the washington post" has this headline, no senator ever voted to remove a president of his party from office until mitt romney. and mitt romney is now suddenly the democrats' favorite republican.

and if you saw louie gohmert on our air last night he was wearing a button that said mitt, quit. ainsley: i was watching that would you have with chris wallace. he said these are his convictions. brian: please don't bring religion. you are not bringing it into it. for him to bring religion into it. has nothing to do with religion. my faith makes me do this? are you kidding? what about your faith in this case meld together? i mean, that is unbelievable for him to bring religion into. this his faith. we already know how he felt. he gave a speech at 12 noon candidate trump how worthy he is for the office. this was his opportunity to show it. to me, it has nothing to do with faith. ainsley: please send us your comments friends@foxnews.com. steve: i think a lot of people are guided by their faith. brian: that was totally insincere my faith makes me want to convict donald trump when two years ago you already said he was unworthy for the office? this was just an opportunity to prove it. that's all it was for mitt mitt romney. ainsley: hand it over to

senator in american history to vote to convict his own party's president. president trump tweeted in response had hailed presidential candidate mitt romney devoted the same energy and anger to defeating a faltering barack obama as he sanctimoniously does to me, he could have won the election. read the transcripts. brett tolman used to work in the senate. top lawyer there have you known mitt romney for a while. what has he doing yesterday? >> it was puzzling because it really showed perhaps a senator that hadn't thought through the positions he had and may have been driven, i think, more by emotion and ego than he was legal analysis. steve: well, going forward though, you know, he knows the political consequences of it. you know, he is the one republican. mitch mcconnell got everybody else in line. just as chuck schumer did and mitt romney.

it was a split decision. he voted for conviction on one and acquittal on the other. but, nonetheless, every time he walks through an airport, somebody is going to remind him of that vote. >> no question. look, he's been cloaked in the robes of flattery and the left's disdain of president trump receiving praise, i think, for his vote against witnesses think about the logic of what he concluded. he fought hard to get additional witnesses. indicated he needed them in order to make an informed decision on the vote to convict or not. and then ultimately didn't need such witnesses and voted to convict him without those witnesses being called. so it wasn't based on sort of a heart felt thorough analysis of what the house managers presented. steve: don't you think ultimately, brett, it comes down to he just does not like donald trump? >> yeah, and i guess that's what is sad about it because the only real documented

history here is his disdain for president trump. i believe he was embarrassed that he didn't get the position in the cabinet, i think he was mortified that he had to seek his help in getting his, you know, the support to become senator, and i think he calculated wrongly here. and it's hard because his only defense is to then say he is making a vote of conscience but i would take on a legal and factual question i would take analysis f facts and history of impeachment over some moral judgment that's being placed because you don't like the targets of an investigation. steve: right. and don't you think part of the calculation that mr. romney did, senator romney did, brett, was just the fact that i'm sure when he was running for president and he was a republican party nominee he thought a lot about the president's

demeanor and if he were elected by the people of the united states, be president, he would operate at a certain level. and he probably just doesn't like the disruptive nature that donald trump, you know, operates on as he tries to drain the swamp and all the other things he is up to. >> that's exactly right. i mean, to senator romney, the person that he thinks ought to be the president is someone more in the mold of himself than donald trump, who is brash and confrontational and he is real and not pyes. so i think he struggled with that. and figured i can go ahead and vote this way. it's not going to have any legal meaning in terms of whether it removes a sitting president. i can do it and receive the praise from the left as i

do. steve: no senator ever voted to remove a party from his office until the senator from utah. mr. romney. >> that's right. steve: mr. tolman, thank you for getting up so early there in salt lake city. >> thank you. steve: president trump is set to speak at the national prayer breakfast this morning, maybe in about 90 minutes we will see him. what can we expect to see in the speech? our next will b guest will be te tony perkins is coming up next ♪ ♪ you better to get to knowing ♪ showing ♪ we made usaa insurance for members like martin.

ainsley: clock clicks towards primary day. you look at the polls, it looks like bernie is ahead there. right? >> oh, boy, let me tell you. it's exciting here now. there is a little snow fall and you mentioned the storm in the intro. big storm. someone fired up. big storm is the candidates coming here with sanders and buttigieg in a near virtual tie coming out of iowa. the new "boston globe" suffolk university poll here let me show it to you sanders is leading 25%. he is up 1% from yesterday. buttigieg is at 19%. that's up that's up 4 points for him. biden 12%. that's a three point drop. warren at 11%, holding steady in fourth. and the voters here 14% say they are undecided. now, it's interesting to note that biden is off the trail today. put out a note saying he is, quote, meeting with advisors. meanwhile the mayor with momentum, pete buttigieg certainly getting a lot of attention and that's drawing

fire from biden attacking both buttigieg and sanders. listen. >> he calls himself a democratic socialist. well, we have already seen what donald trump is going to do with that but i do believe it's a risk to be just strait up with you, for this party to nominate someone who has never held office higher than mayor of 100,000 people in indiana. >> that attack from biden. he told a judge in a crowd that he started his race a year ago with just four staff members. no name recognition. and no money. a lot has changed since then. guys? brian: it's like the jimmy carter formula. here is the thing. i give biden credit. he admits it. at first he said i want to wait for the votes. he basically said it's a gut punch. you better send me out of here like a rocket in new hampshire or i'm done. >> good point. he is not making any campaign stops today. his wife dr. jill biden will

do all of the surrogate things today and tomorrow is a very critical debate here in manchester and former vice president biden is really going to have to latch on to some momentum if he is going to stop what appears to be, by all accounts, a two-man race right now. brian brian no stops. my goodness. ainsley: few months ago we never would have seen that coming. thanks so much, griff. steve: do you know who joe biden can thank in part to his place right now in the polls, nancy pelosi by opening up the can of worms with ukraine that would automatically give the republicans fodder every day to bring up burisma and hunter biden. and did that impact? you got to figure it did. ainsley: and i don't think she cared about it because she so badly wanted this president impeached. she didn't care who was going to be thrown under the bus. steve: you have to think about the collateral damage. joe biden in part collateral damage to the impeachment. brian: that's true. he also gave her the stage alone while bernie sanders,

klobuchar and elizabeth warren sat there in purgatory listening to these senators drone on or these house managers and biden had the whole thing to himself with mayor pete. and he went backwards. because the more you see him, the less you want to see him. steve: and pete buttigieg was at the top of the polls about a month ago in iowa and it looks like he has razor thin win in iowa. ainsley: will it ever really be over for the democrats. judge napolitano on the never ending push against the president. steve: how are you, judge? ainsley: hi, judge. ♪ ♪ never really over ♪

[laughter] brian: he works for fox news. [laughter] brian: that's your intro judge napolitano. >> not a very forceful statement but congressman schiff was asked yesterday if his committee is going to subpoena john bolton. why would these committees be talking about subpoenaing

witnesses who they didn't subpoena last time after the president has been acquitted? because there is no double jeopardy protection. stated differently, they could impeach him again if they want, notwithstanding the political fallout which i think would be horrific, for the exact same offense with the exact same evidence and perhaps more evidence. if i rob a bank and i'm found not guilty, and then the government finds more evidence that i was guilty, they still can't charge me again. but, for impeachment, there is no double jeopardy protection. i'm sorry to tell this to the president at this hour of the morning after his triumph yesterday but that's the law. brian: practical political protection. >> profound. i cannot imagine that there is an appetite for this anywhere in the country except in certain deep pockets which do not dominate in the house of representatives. steve: you know, the democrats were all in. they really believed that they would be able to present the evidence that would turn some heads of republicans. they turn one head in utah. but, ultimately, you know, it's like, you know, after

the 49ers were beaten by the chiefs. you know, the 49ers are going to go well, yeah, i will go back next year but it's not like i want to play the game over right now. >> right. the key in all of this was the vote not to hear witnesses. the democrats' hope was something would come out of the mouth of one of the witnesses which would turn everything around. i have seen that happen. not an impeachment. i have tried 150 jury trials. a jury trial, a witness testifying under oath is always risky. but when they barred live witnesses and we knew what the evidence was the house had and it wasn't enough to persuade republicans in the senate. it was just a matter of time. ainsley: well, they had the votes. it's going to happen, probably. >> oh, boy. want to go through this again at the height of the election? brian: don mcgahn when the court rules don mcgahn back to the. >> friday. brian: taxes and supreme court they expose that that will be another. ainsley: if they know he has another chance of winning

they will try whatever they can. brian: hurt him. >> don mcgahn thing and his personal taxes and corporate financials could open up another can of worms, which could be a field day for the democrats. we should know about those rulings very soon. steve: at the same time, the president's personal approval ratings keep going up because independents, along with republicans, realize -- >> -- at noon today is the president going to say i forgive you or is he going to pow? [laughter] steve: i bet he does come out and say you know what? let's try to do something. >> that would be wonderful. steve: we will know at noon. judge, thank you. right behind you. >> where is jillian? brian: always catches you off guard. steve: speaking of chiefs. hshe has some news. jillian: panic on the super bowl parade route in a car breaks through a safety barrier. several police cars chasing after the driver in kansas city and crashing into the car to get it to stop. two suspects pulled out of the car and arrested. the driver is under

investigation for drunk driving. this happened before the parade began. thankfully no one was hurt. still, tense and scary moments there. now to this. security cameras capture arson suspects accidentally lighting themselves on fire. watch as they pour gasoline all over furniture and one man flicks a light tore gas. he unintentionally sets himself and the other guy on fire. both of them running out of the building. they haven't been caught. it's unclear if they were seriously hurt. new york's green light law which allows illegal immigrants to get drivers licenses is stopping legal residents from getting travel perks. listen up. acting dhs secretary chad wolf tells tucker carlson new yorkers are banned from some trusted traveler programs, included global entry which allows for faster entrance into the u.s. >> they can enroll or reenroll in these trusted traveler programs that custom and border protection

morning at 8:00. >> as you said, at the state of the union faith was really at the center of the speech. it's been the center of his administration. this morning the focus is going to be on international religious freedom. this administration doing a lot. in fact, i was with mike pompeo yesterday reaffirming that the top foreign policy of this administration is religious freedom. and so the president is going to highlight some of those countries where there is persecution taking place. and this is actually one of the largest prayer -- national prayer breakfast in history. people coming in from across the country. there has been a lot -- around the world coming in for side meetings. it's going to be a great into what has turned out to be a great week for the president. ainsley: 3500 people from more than 100 countries will be in attendance. he has fought for religious freedoms. he has appointed judges that are conservatives. how important is this to you? >> well, it's extremely important to a lot of americans. especially for those that understand that really the

foundation for america be a great nation are the values that come from faith, from the christian faith in particular. and so this president has not only ceased the war on people of faith. but he is building a ball workework where people of faith can. you hear it in almost every speech that he makes. the good thing about this ainsley, as we call other nations to stop the persecution of people of faith. america needs to lead the way by allowing people to live their lives according to their faith and that's what this administration is doing. ainsley: what is your opinion of mitt romney saying his faith prevents him from acquitting the president? >> well, mitt romney is free to do as he chooses. you know, but this president, there is none like him when it comes to the issue of advancing religious freedom. his speech on tuesday night was not just rhetoric. he now, after three years, has a record to back up everything that he says.

and i will just say this, as i travel the country, people of faith, christians in particular, evangelicals, are enthusiastically supporting the president. you mentioned earlier you guys were talking about his polling numbers. there's a reason. as he is attacked, people lock arms around him because they know he is fighting for the things that they care about. ainsley: yeah. we know -- we are all flawed. but do you feel like god is using him? >> without question. ainsley: what makes you say that? >> without question. he is the man for this time. when you look at the hostility toward faith and what happened in the last administration, you couldn't have a typical republican come in and just say oh, this is bad we're going to stop it. what he is doing and what makes the left so mad is that he is dismantling the infrastructure that they have used to advance an anti faith, big government agenda. and they are not going to be able to jump back in the driver's seat and take off again. it's going to take them

decades to rebuild if this president continues to be able to advance the agenda that he gave to the american people, which they support. ainsley: okay, tony. gosh, i wish i were sitting in that room with you today. we are going to take it live when he starts to talk this morning. it will be the first time we have heard from him since he was vindicated in this impeachment trial. thank you for being with us. be please blessed. >> thank you. have a great day. ainsley: you too. 12 cases of the coronavirus now here in the u.s. even scarier a newborn just tested positive for it. what you need to know, that's next. president trump set to give a victory speech at the white house today after being acquitted of the impeachment trial. pam bondi is on the president's legal team, and she is going to join us live at the top of the hour. ♪ ♪ before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn, marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts

specializes in infectious diseases. first off, doctor, do you believe that we are getting closer to some type of vaccine because there are reports of success. >> there are closer to a proof concept a vaccine that can move quickly into clinical trials. it's not just about making a candidate vaccine. also about scaling up production. doing safety and efficacy trials. while we may see this going into humans in trials in the next couple of months it's probably not going to be yesterdayy in a commercial scale for years. this is a long process. brian: with this baby now testing positive for the virus, how is that unique? it's actually not very unique. children are susceptible to infections especially from their mother and newborns and don't have much immunity. we know the actions from the baby and mother, for example, if the mother is infected or caregivers is very intimate and there is a lot of chance for transmission. so i don't think this really changes the trajectory.

we know anybody can be susceptible to this virus including newborns. brian: you also say that quarantines really don't work. >> when you are talking about an infectious disease like this that's spread through the respiratory route that has a human-to-human transmission. likely spreading in china for weeks before it was actually noticed. the quarantines are not going to have a measurable impact. the case counts are still going to group. that's not really how you control a respiratory illness. it's not going to be something that can be contained. we need to move from that strategy to preparing our healthcare for what is likely to be a pandemic. brian: 350 americans have arrived back home from china now under a two week quarantine. we will have a chance to see if they do test positive in that time when they get done with two weeks and come out clean, should we feel as though they are out of the woods? >> yes, i do think we should feel we are out of the woods. most people think incubation

is 6 days. 14 is the upper limit. these people are being tested routinely being monitored. if they get through that there is no chance they are not carrying it. but we have to worry about community spread in the united states. it's going to come here irrespective based on what we do based on transmission characteristics. brian: how important is it for our countries, especially the major countries to start communicating with each sorry so we all get on the same page a manhattan project for the globe? >> i do think this is something long overdue we always faced the threat of infectious diseases. after anthrax we have gotten better dealing with infectious disease emergency. what we need is coordinated approach to many different threats that are out there so we can actually take these threats off the table and go after them one by one and remove, for example, coronavirus which we have been worried about 2003 and sars. remove them from the list of targets that we need to go after. because there will continually be new ones and need to have a coordinated approach that goes after them one by one and makes

the country a lot more resilient. steve: if brian: is there something a tamiflu on steroids that will allow me to survive. >> there are two drugs that are being tried in capitol hill call trials. one hiv drug being re-purposed if there is some evidence behind it at least antidotal and experimental drug that is being used in compassionate use where they are using it experimentally under certain conditions and they're going to do a clinical trial to figure that out. we do have antiviral compounds on the way that maybe beneficial. we need to study them appropriately. steve: dr. adalja thanks so much. >> thanks. brian: tim scott, pam bondi, newt gingrich and so much more. p are. t listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan,

♪ lovely day. brian: i never knew they were saying lovely day. i thought they were saying what is this? steve: lovely day. 55 minutes from right now we understand the president is going to be leaving the white house compound up to connecticut to the hilton where he will be appearing at the 68th annual national prayer breakfast. we will see that live this morning. ainsley: maybe he will pray for brian what is this and lovely day. they sound nothing alike. brian: the refrain is what

is this i didn't know it was lovely day. ♪ a lovely day. steve: ultimately the producers put these songs on so we can talk about it's a lovely day. the president's point of view would be after he has been acquitted yesterday by the senate. ainsley: well, at noon today the president after the national prayer breakfast which we are going to take live. the president is going to address the nation about the impeachment saga. brian: he says he is going to discuss the victory over the impeachment hoax a different way to say it as the senate voted to acquit him. steve: coffin corc joins us from the white house starting out to be a loly day because we have you on the show, kevin. >> great to be with you guys. a lovely day indeed especially for this president if you consider what he has been through over the last several months. this impeachment now behind him. it ended as expected. 53-47. 52-48, the lone surprise was the lone republican defector. let me share a statement from stephanie grisham she went out there after the vote was over and expressed the frustration, perhaps, of

the white house. she had a lengthy statement that read in part the sham impeachment attempt concocted by democrats ended in the full vindication and edges sonner ration of president donald j. trump. as we have said all along he is not guilty. she goes on to add this. the senate went on to reject the baseless articles of impeachment and only the president's political opponents, one democrats and one failed republican presidential candidate voted for the manufactured impeachment articles. so as the white house now looks to take a bit of political advantage of what many of the president's backers believe was a partisan exercise, weaponizing the impeachment process. the president isn't going to forget the man who broke rank. certainly not any time soon. of course, talking about the senator from the state of utah, mitt romney. let me share a tweet from president trump. he had several yesterday about this. but this one in particular about mr. romney. he said had failed presidential candidate mitt romney devoted the same energy and anger to defeating a faltering barack

obama as he sanctimoniously does to me, he could have won the election. read the transcripts. bad blood there perhaps to get worse as we move forward. could be a tough time here in the nation's capital for the senator from utah. a lot of people feel like he is the courageous thing. the national prayer breakfast coming up not terribly long from now. we expect to visit from the president of kenya later today. we will have it all for you. now back to you. steve: you are leaving something out, kevin. i believe according to the internet it's your birthday. >> oh, thank you. ainsley: it is a lovely day. >> can i share this with you thank you for the birthday wishes. it is also the birthday of ronald reagan, tom brokaw, babe ruth and bob marley. steve: and kevin corke. >> and kevin corke. there you go. thanks, guys. ainsley: we are glad you were born. >> thank you. god bless. ainsley: god bless you. steve: let's bring in pam bondi a member of the president's defense team, a

lovely day you would say it is because the president was acquitted yesterday. the "wall street journal," pam, has got the headline james madison 1, nancy pelosi 0. >> i love it. that's right. good morning, i miss you all. ainsley: how are you feeling. >> feeling great and so is president trump by the way. he is feeling great. we have the right president at the right time. and he cannot be deterred by this sham impeachment and, you know, we showed this yesterday with his pure vindication of all of these bogus charges against him. so it's a really good day today for the president. brian: so, what senator schumer is saying you can't accept this verdict because it was rushed through. there were no witnesses. there was no trial. >> okay. let's talk about that. so what about in the house? do you remember what happened back in the house in judiciary and intel? we weren't allowed to call any witnesses. the president wasn't allowed to appear with his lawyers. the witnesses that they called weren't allowed to have their attorneys present.

it was absurd. it was really absurd. they had three experts. we got one. so talk about a sham impeachment. and then, you know, they wanted to impeach him by christmas. that was their thing. nancy pelosi saying let's send the articles over before they even voted on them. it was so ridiculous, the entire process. getting to the senate. and then when we did have a fair proceeding in the senate, that's when the democrats cried foul again. and it didn't work. you know, it's really going to be a stain on congress, i think, forever. it's going to go down in history as a huge stain. they cannot deter president trump. and because they dislike him, so much, they are trying to take him out of office. and they are not going to be able to overturn the election and impact the 2020 election. steve: as you know, pam, given the fact that you're in politics, this was not a criminal proceeding. this was not judicial. this was political from the get-go. and because it was not bipartisan, which nancy pelosi said if we want to get him out, we have got to have republicans.

no republican, aside from mitt romney on the one count, actually broke ranks with mitch mcconnell. >> of course. of course. because there was nothing there. and you know, it's disappointing that senator romney bought in to all of adam schiff's continued lies about the president. no one else did. and yeah, it wasn't even a close call. we shouldn't have even gotten here. and, you know, i heard you discuss with judge napolitano earlier are they going to keep trying? of course they are. but president trump will be reelected and, you know, they are going to keep trying over and over and over again because of all the great things he has done for our country and they can't handle it. this was just a ridiculous sham on our country, for the taxpayers, waste of all of this time and energy. when they could be doing all the good things that president trump has been doing for the country. ainsley: pam, you mentioned mitt romney. i watched that interview with chris wallace. and he said he thinks the president has made some very serious miscalculations in judgment.

he felt like his faith, his convictions were pushing him to vote with the democrats. he said i recognize the extent of the consequences, the blow back will be substantial. brett tolman, steve interviewed him earlier from utah, he made a good point. he said mitt romney wanted to hear from witnesses. steve: he reached out of to the white house and tried to get some. ainsley: that's right. when there weren't any witnesses that were able to come n the senate, he still voted with the democrats. >> well, exactly. and, remember, these are witnesses that they did not try to get in the house. remember, that's where the witnesses should have been heard. and ambassador bolton, they could have brought him in. they chose not to subpoena him because they thought he would challenge the subpoena, which was the legal right of the white house to do. so, ambassador bolton did not testify in the house. now, all of a sudden he has a book dropping and everybody wants to hear from him. and, there still was nothing there. even given what bolton

leaked in his book, the deal that came out. i find it interesting, too. that, you know, senator romney followed his conscience, but he pretaped interviews the day before, prior to coming out and saying what he was going to do. it's disappointing that he bought into all of adam schiff's lies. no one else did. none of us did. and if you could impeach a president for, this our country is in big trouble. our democracy is in big trouble. that's what we were fighting for. it was bigger than president trump. we are fighting for our democracy. brian: and the thing is now mitt romney has been played on every single channel because he is speaking on the same words of almost chuck schumer wrote them for him. here is the headline to the "the washington post." no senator ever voted to remove a president of his own party from office until mitt romney. so, they now have something to go on and they say that mitt romney, who they vilified as a candidate, who they came off as a money, very greedy guy who doesn't like poor people.

who they just went after his character, now all of auto of a sudden they are lauding his character. >> of course they are. bought into schumer and shift and nadler. schumer, shift and nadler they put the senators on trial. they really did. if you heard their statements and the disparaging things that jerry nadler said and adam schiff said about all of us about the senators, yet, mitt romney bought into that it doesn't matter because the president was acquitted. he was vindicated. and that's all that matters to the american people right now because we have to move on from this. steve: sure, but the house may try to do something else. >> oh, yeah. steve: because they did so well the last time. her last act while she was in camera range with the president was nancy pelosi ripped the speech in half. there is some suggestion by matt gaetz of florida, your home state that, perhaps, she actually broke the law because you can't do that as

it turns out though, in addition to the fact that they are going to file -- the republicans are an ethics complaint against her for violating the house rules clauses 1 and 2 of house rule 23 about house conduct. apparently, pam bondi. she was thinking as the president was talking about rush limbaugh, she kind of pre-tore one side so that when she stood up and made her grand rip, it was right down the middle. >> um-huh. yeah. that's interesting. yeah. we thought that was happening as well. and the way she was stacking the papers as the speech was going on. it was really quite unbelievable. so what else did she rip up? a 21-week old baby. the airman who was reunited with his family. the tuskegee airman. the last airman. the family of the military reunited. everything good that president trump has done and talked about. if she didn't like rush limbaugh, that's her problem. but to rip up the entire speech to rip up any of that speech. here is while matt gaetz are

challenging that that is an original copy. the president signed it. and we believe it goes in the congressional records. steve: it does not belong to her. >> no. it does not. it does not belong to her. you know, and she seemed like a petulant child in the way she did it, frankly. brian: what did the president tell you about it? what did he say? >> i spent a long time with the president yesterday. it's not unexpected from nancy pelosi to behave this way. they tried to shred our constitution in the house by trying to impeach him. and now she is literally shredded the state of the union speech. so, it's absurd. brian: did he specifically say anything to you about it. >> no. we didn't talk about that yesterday. in fact, i don't think he knew it was happening when she did it in realtime because he was delivering his speech. ainsley: right. think about that. it's not that hard to rip paper. how many pages was the speech? why did she have to prerip it. steve: so it was down the middle. ainsley: for her show. >> that was her show trial.

steve: it was her show. she wanted to show the resistance she is standing up to that guy behind him. >> and it backfired. steve: it did backfire. the political consequences we won't know for sure until november. pam, how steamed is the president? everybody knew it was a partisan effort to try to bloody him on the run-up to the election. he has got to be super angry that this happened? >> you know, we are going to hear from him today at noon. and president trump is actually, they took on the wrong president. that's the best part about this. he will not be deterred. we are watching him every day. we are in the white house every day preparing for this trial, watching him do the work of the american people with usmca. the prayer breakfast today. all the great things he is doing and will continue to do the china trade deal. everything that he has done he will not be derailed and they cannot shake him. he stays focused. he is working constantly. and that's what they can't handle. and that's what -- they are not going to get to him.

thithey are not. brian: pam bondi thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: hey, jillian. jillian: highway patrol officer and air force veteran is killed trying to help a stranded driver. the suspect shooting trooper joseph bullock as he pulled over in palm city, florida. another officer shot and killed the gunman. bullock served 19 years on the force. and an officer ambushed in a police chase in alabama is now identified. nic owe grier was the father of two with a third on the way. preston johnson is charged with capital murder. the final suspect charged in a burden agent's murder is extradited to the u.s. the man was brought to arizona where he will stand trial next month. he is one of seven men charged in the deadly 2010 shooting of border agent brian terry. his murder exposed the obama administration's fast and furious operation. the failed program allowed criminals to purchase guns with the intention of tracking them into mexico.

steve: we know how that show ends. brian: do we? steve: indeed. ainsley: almost 15 minutes after the top of the hour. from a landslide victory in iowa to the successful state of the union and the end of the impeachment trial, it's been a week of wins for president trump. senator tim scott voted to acquit the president, and he joins us live next. brian: plus, you can name your dog or cat whatever you want, but peta says stop calling pets them pets. ♪ ♪ ♪ you'll be enjoying that chocolate ice cream again. they can start it, and 3 days later, i know that they're going to have the results they were looking for.

sweeping victory in the iowa g.o.p. caucuses. we knew that but the turnout was impressive followed by a roaring state of the union address. most have said it's the best speech he has given. yesterday afternoon he was acquitted of impeachment. so where does he go from here? we know where the democrats will go. they want to continue investigations. but let's ask one of the people the president has the most confidence in. he is g.o.p. senator from south carolina tim scott. senator, where does the president go from here starting at noon today when he actually gives his reaction to the acquittal? >> brian, i think the answer to the question is up, up, up. the bottom line is that his poll numbers have never been better. he has the most impressive state of the union speech i have ever sat through. i will tell you that the room was electric. this president, our president, did the most amazing job bringing -- seeing the reunifying of the family, the soldier from fort bragg, seeing his kids. watching his wife's face

simply melt because she missed her husband so much. seeing the tuskegee airmen. watching the little girl who is going to have a scholarship because of -- scholarships provide the greatest opportunity for the best future. president trump was on fire. i think the truth of the matter is not does where does he go from here but where do we go as a nation. the great american come back, the story is written before our very eyes. brian: i should have been more specific. prescription drugs could be some crossover and the other one would be infrastructure. i know how much want to spend where are you getting the money. can you get something done in that time? >> absolutely. i think we can. the bought lin bottom line the president senator barrasso's bill, grassley widen compromise on prescription drugs. those are two good places to start. i am not there yet on the

grassley-widen compromise. i think we have to do a better job of protecting the free market than the bill does. the president gave us marching orders as relates to make sure we focus on the american people's priorities. don't spend time re-litigating impeachment. let's spend time working on behalf of the american people. he talked about the strong economy, the lowest unemployment rate in 70 years for women. the fact that asians, unemployment rate is below 3%. he talked about opportunity zones and bringing more resources back to the poorest people in the country. he is focused not on his legacy but on the legacy of the american people. that is a good place for the president and the united states to be. brian: i want to end on opportunity zones. i know that's what you have been leading. i do want to talk about mitt romney. mitt romney not only said i'm not going to vote for this. he actually thinks the president should be expelled from his job and cited his motivation his relationship with god. >> yeah. i will tell you, i think it's always a dangerous place to be saying that god

told you to do something specific. especially when you have a lot of god-fearing people who are diametrically opposed to your position. but, more important, brian, i think god gave us, if you read through matthew 22:37 and 39. it says love god with all your heart and with all your mind. with your mind, you have to think through what was presented to the united states senate? we had a case that was so flawed that the president's attorneys did not have the power to cross-examine the witnesses against him. he did not have the opportunity to present evidence for him. he did not have the opportunity to present witnesses for him. he was not given due process, so one of the challenges of coming to the conclusion tha that mitt came to on what basis? and that is one of our responsibilities. i'm very careful to say what god told me to do because

that is a tough -- it's tough to respond to that but there is a lot of scriptures that tell me i better use the brain he gave me in pursuing justice and righteousness. brian: right. we also know that nancy pelosi prays for the president every day. lastly, 9,000 economically challenged neighborhoods in our country. you are addressing them through the opportunity zones. you have capital gains tax breaks for people that want to invest. how is it going? >> really well. because of the president's support. we have seen almost $68 billion getting ready to be deployed threat this dethroun in 9,000 areas where the average poverty rate is almost 30%. think about the fact that our average poverty rate is 12.5%. the president is focusing his laser on the most vulnerable people and frankly, that makes the democrats lose their minds.

there's a people with a brain that explodes. that's what happens when president trump starts talking about bringing back more resources to the most vulnerable folks, when he starts talking about the lowest hispanic unemployment rate. when he starts talking about the highest increase in wages came from the poorest americans who are working. the story of the american comeback is a story that starts at the most vulnerable fragile people on the economic ladder and moves up. brian: and if you thought this tax breaks and the president was just for the rich, you would not want any part of it because i know you. that's not what you are about. these opportunity zones are exactly what makes tim scott tim scott. senator, thanks so much. >> god bless. brian: you got it. straight ahead. the media is worried president trump could sway black voters after the state of the union address. >> he talked about the criminal justice reform. he talked about opportunity zones. a warning shot across the bough at democrats he is going enough black folks to cause us a problem. brian: how concerned should

christopher harris joins us from good morning. >> not good morning. great. it's a great day. i would argue it's probably three of the greatest years since maybe jesus walked the earth with his ministry. also, yeah, good morning to you. great day. steve: what do you make, christopher, of the outreach that the president, according to the "new york times," is making to the black community? >> you know, i'm going to give you a name. frederick fleet. you probably never heard his name, but back in that fateful night in april 1912, he was the guy up in the mast on the titanic saying iceberg ahead. steve: right. >> that's who van jones is right now. he is telling the democrats iceberg ahead. i know things might seem like they suck right now if you are a democrat. really, you should be grateful it's some of the greatest times to be alive some of the greatest times to be an american. because your nation is peaceful and prosperous. all americans -- even though you try to push identity politics. all americans across all the

little identity check boxes that you try to create are actually prospering. ainsley: the "new york times" is slamming the president saying is he courting the black voter he did during the speech that wrote. this during the speech peppered with theatrics mr. trump's overtures to black voters were not subtle. his gestures earned him accolades from his administration but others criticize mr. trump's checklist style approach as pandering. what do you think? >> that's hilarious. i mean, look, i have had this permanent tan my whole life. i just didn't put it on in the makeup room. i have been around black folks and the black community my whole life. here is what i know. every two years, every four years, every election cycle what happens is democrat members come in to black churches and start pandering. somehow they all start develop negro dialect and start singing negro spirituals and hymns and they leave and don't come back for another two to four years. what the president has done is actually talked the talk

and then walked the talk. steve: christopher, ultimately, do you think the black community is going to support his, you know, his overtures and what he has done so far or will it be one of those things like we have seen in the past? >> iceberg dead ahead. that's what the democrats need to realize. there is an iceberg dead ahead of you. the dnc has some problems within their big tent. they like to act like they are a big tent. but the reality is there is a hierarchy within the dnc and a lot of black folks are starting to realize that they are at the bottom of that hierarchy when it comes to priorities. even when they had their perfect candidate, barack obama, what happened for black folks? nothing. what's happening when you have conversations with the average black person, what we say in whisper tones is like hey, obama didn't do anything for black folks. that's what's happening. that's the conversation that's taking place in the black community. democrats are starting to realize it. van jones is telling them. this they are scared. and they have every reason

to be scared. ainsley: craverchristopher, reay quickly he got 8% of the black vote in 2016. what do you expect it to be in november. >> it wouldn't surprise me if it doubled and wouldn't surprise me if it went over 20%. ainsley: wow. steve: iceberg dead ahead. what was the guy's name. >> frederick fleet. steve: christopher harris from unhyphenated america. thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. ainsley: coming up, the moment everyone is talking about. but did nancy pelosi practice ripping the president's speech? steve: she was so good at it. former house speaker newt gingrich has never done that he said she should get in trouble and he is next: ♪ goodbye ♪

i introduced bill clinton four times when i was speaker of the house. one time in the middle of the scandal. i used the right phrase, she didn't. every time the president was cordial and we talked to each other. the idea that she would tear up his speech is so childish and so beneath the dignity of the house. i agree with jonathan turley who is a democrat who wrote this morning that she really should be kicked out of office for demeaning the entire nature of both the constitution and of the house of representatives. he is delivering a constitutionally required address so in a sense she is ripping up a document that exists under the constitution. brian: i have got to ask something, newt. how do you introduce the president and how did she introduce the president? you don't just say here's the president. >> no. you say it's my high

privilege and personal honor. ainsley: was that the first time it wasn't said? >> to the best of my knowledge, it is. now, i will say historically, george washington went up, got such a disgusting response from the congress, he refused to go back. and every one of his state of the union after that was sent up in writing, read by the clerk. and there is not a spoken state of the union until woodrow wilson in 113. well1913. with nancy pelosi's behavior you could see why washington was angry. what she did, first of all, she is not introducing donald trump candidate. steve: i know. >> she is introducing the president of the united states for a constitutionally required state of the union. and she just proved last night how divided the state of the union is or the night before last by the kind of petty, childish behavior that she personally

exhibited. steve: well, you know, regardless of what side you are on, she is either a hero or she is a villain when she did that. but, clearly, newt, she did the entire impeachment proceeding in the house to appease her super left flank. because she doesn't want her top leadership. >> right. steve: and the rank and file to get primaried by super progressive people and completely change the nature of the democratic party. she had to deliver. so at the very end she did that as punctuation okay, i'm done. i did all i could. >> look, i don't know why she did it, i actually don't care why she did it. it was historically unique. it was unconstitutional. it displayed to the entire country how vicious and petty the democrats have become. and, by the way, in terms of the internal maneuvering, i was just looking this morning. the news media is totally misreporting iowa. sanders got the most votes in the first round. he got the most votes in the

second round. the only reason buttigieg is getting all this press is that the iowa process is rigged. but the fact is, sanders came in first in popular vote in both the first and second ballots. steve: right. >> it tells you how desperate they are to stop him that we have been through this week of sanders not being recognized. he is the frontrunner for the democratic party right now. ainsley: and for new hampshire, too. according to the "boston globe" the poll says he has 25% of the folks in new hampshire and buttigieg is behind him at 19%. he is up 6 percentage points. steve: yeah. james carville is horrified by the direction the party is going in. we saw him say that yesterday. >> he should be. look, if they nominate and, of course, the problem they have got in the house of representatives they have over 200 members, what i call the radical 200, who signed on to all sorts of goofy bills. they have made all sorts of goofy votes. they want to go home and pretend they are not aoc. the truth is they are aoc.

>> and the truth is the democratic party is now lurching so far to the left milwaukee is going to be a circus when the democrats have their national convention. brian: lastly, do you know who invested in that app. that failed so the buttigieg campaign. >> now, come on, brian. come on, brian. i don't want to hear any conspiracy thoughts just because the buttigieg campaign paid for the app. and it totally screwed up iowa. brian: right. >> that somehow buttigieg has responsibility for screwing up the app. brian: i was irresponsible. >> i can't believe that. brian: mr. speaker, i'm sorry. >> that's frankly the kind of deplorable behavior that i have come to really love. that's why i love you. keep going, don't slow down. ainsley: didn't they change the rules there though in iowa because bernie complained about how it was -- how it affected him when he was running about hillary and you are saying changing the rules still hurt him? >> it still hurts him. what's funny, i just looked it up before the show.

what's funny is in the morning coverage, bernie is ahead. brian: i know. >> in the first vote. he then ahead in the second vote. steve: right. >> he is three behind in the delegate allegation. the only thing the media wants to talk about is over here. brian: ap. >> if you look at it bernie won iowa and buttigieg did not win iowa, period. brian: and he has all this money, too. steve: in new hampshire they just have the one go around. they don't have a number. ainsley: your prediction bernie against president trump? >> i just did a newsletter that said bye-bye biden, hello bloomberg. i think i'm beginning to think they have a brokered convention and that milwaukee is going to be the most interesting democratic convention since 1968. brian: right. steve: excellent. >> i'm looking forward to milwaukee. brian: we will see if we have milwaukee's best. appreciate it, mr. speaker. ainsley: thank you. jillian is over there. she has headlines for us.

and for that nasty dust on my floors, my sweeper's on it. the textured cloths grab and hold dirt and hair no matter where dust bunnies hide. no more heebie jeebies. phew. glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering. 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. steve: all right, fox news alert, live inside the washington hilton in northwest washington, we are waiting president trump's arrival at the annual breakfast, live pictures from inside. the event is hosted by members of the united states congress and organized by the fellowship foundation which is a nonprofit religious organization designed to bring together political religious and business leaders. if there was ever a time that washington needed to get together it would be on thursday morning after a wednesday acquittal to have president of the united states on impeachment charges. he was vindicated yesterday, let's see as we look how many

democrats shake the hands of the president as he goes down to take his seat. ainsley: nancy pelosi will be saying the prayers to have poor. steve: and persecuted. brian: never know. i wonder if she will pray before or after, i know she prays for him every day. remember ben carson made raw -- a name for himself and was keynote speaker, he got a call little bit later, listen, you want to apologize, no, i don't think so. ainsley: 3500 people are there representing 100 different countries around the world. we were in the airport yet. people were getting off the planes from different cities and they thankfully watch "fox & friends" and were heading to

prayer breakfast. steve: it's unusual for him, he's right on time, he's supposed to leave 10 minute ago. when he's traveling, there's no traffic. brian: carpool lane? steve: actually, brian, they can turn all the lights red and stop all the traffic from the white house right up connecticut to the washington -- ainsley: never thought about that. steve: it will be interesting to hear the president's message to the prayerful there at the prayer breakfast. but yesterday we saw the president be vindicated by the u.s. senate, largely along party lines aside from mitt romney who today is either a hero or villain. it would be interesting, aside from this the president will be

speaking at noon today essentially talking about his victory. ainsley: look at the front cover of new york post. trump's turn to rip the impeachment papers. brian: curious to see what the president does, he tweeted out against mitt romney, if he was this tough on barack obama he would have been president right now and this president would have been running for first term and romney in second. the other thing would be, does the president say, pointed out or does he say for the last 5 months we've been at each other's throats, i have 8 months in this term and hopefully four more years, we can get infrastructure done and prescription drugs done, i hope to see somebody by this weekend, overtures by this weekend from democrats who come together or committee set up with kevin mccarthy and others to try to get something done in the next 8 months. almost forced democrats to say no. steve: well n -- in state of the

union, the president did salute members on both sides of the aisle for getting stuff done, but impeachment thing is going to leave scars with democrats and you to figure the last thing nancy pelosi wants to do after she was unable to remove him from the presidency would be to give him a win. don't look for anything to happen legislatively in washed. it's -- washington, d.c. he has to win. brian: usmca mattered to them. if you're in the moderate districts and you took in 2018, you went along with impeachment even though it wasn't in your best interest, are you going to punt on infrastructure and punt on prescription drugs knowing that there's already crossover on both of them? to me it's in their interest and at one point you have to tell leadership, out of the way.

ainsley: chuck schumer said the republicans got their way but this was not a fair trial, he said there will always be an asterisk next to the pose's name. listen to this. >> now that our republican colleagues have rejected a fair trial, truth, there's a giant asterisk next to the president's acquittal. the asterisk says he was acquitted without -- he was acquitted without a fair trial and it means that his acquittal is virtually valueless. steve: doug jones.

brian he was probably toast anyway. very interesting to see what happens with the senate of alaska lisa murkowski. steve: i think the asterisk this was the first time in american history where the vote was completely partisan. you know, it was so far away from two-thirds majority in the senate that james madison and framers had in mind. pam bondi a member of the president's defense team was with us an hour ago, she's looking at it from a legal perspective but historical perspective and political perspective and for the people who said, yeah, boot him. watch. >> it was so ridiculous, the entire process, getting to the senate, then when we did have a fair proceeding, that's when the democrats cried foul and it didn't work. it's really going to be a stain on congress forever. it'll go down as huge stain.

because they dislike him so much they are trying to take him out of office and they won't be able to overturn the election, at the 2020 election. ainsley: jay sekulow said he's glad it's behind us. steve: nebraska senator, he's a republican, not always on the president's team, he was explaining why he voted to acquit and he said, quote, you don't remove a president for listening to bad advisers but eventually taking better advice from better advisers. brian: ben sasses said that also and barr, attorney general, if they are going to come after you, they will come after you

but color inside the lines. he doesn't belong in ukraine undermining national security adviser, that's what got him in trouble. steve: if you were watching christopher wray, he was asked, has the president asked you to do any investigating of hunter biden or joe biden or barism or anything like that and he said absolutely not. brian: that's the point. steve: the president can ask personal attorney to do -- >> do you think it was good move sending rudy giuliani to ukraine? >> listen, he was the only guy he trusted. brian: you have the justice department, that's what got him in trouble, you can't send attorney wild-catting in the ukraine. ainsley: it's done, it's over, the congress has spoken, yesterday, yesterday or 2 days ago we were watching the speech, nancy pelosi is back there behind him. ainsley: she's trying to stay

busy and look down, she looked at her people. steve: rolling her eyes. ainsley: i was just thinking that he was doing to look busy, she might have been pulling the papers down below the desk and ripping them a little bit so that at the end of the speech she would have a clean break across the pages, you can see the breaks. brian: claims was a snubbed by the president who didn't shake her hand, how do i -- how do i get back at him? ainsley: she was stacking everything back there and that's what she was doing and pulling under the desk. >> nobody was watching. ainsley: do y'all think she planned before she went up there? do you think it was a conversation with democrats to do at the end? steve: given what she did at the finale she should be out of there. >> the idea that she would tear

up his speech is so childish and so beneath the dignity of the house, i agree with jonathan charlie who is a democrat who wrote this morning that she really should be kicked out of office for demeaning the entire nature both the constitution and the -- the house of representatives, remember, he's delivering a constitutionally required address, and so essentially ripping up a document that exist under the constitution. brian: think about it, 6 months ago the republicans were looking at 19 retirements, many of which in tough states and they are looking at a situation where they are being outraised almost 2 to 1. nancy pelosi do what she did and you see rivalry about impeachment. if you're kevin mccarthy now we can galvanize the country and try to take back the house, you saw what happened when they lost it, it was terrible for your

party. ainsley: approval rating this morning is 49%, among republicans 94% like him and among independents, 42% like him. bernie should have won in iowa according to newt gingrich if they hadn't changed the rules. so if this is bernie against president trump, he's so far left i can't imagine that the center of the left would choose for bernie, they might vote for this president. steve: mccarthy who was with us yesterday, later in the day apparently if the republicans take control of the house, this would be a good campaign rally cry for the republicans, if they win the house and take nancy pelosi's gavel away from her to have investigations of how this all went down and they may actually try to expunge the impeachment from the president of the united states. ainsley: they could do that? >> they can.

look, she's in charge right now, if you put us in charge, we will do that. ainsley: impeachment for a period of his life. brian: try today reverse the whole nixon and we will work on johnson, it'll be great.

people's corporation and two-time member of president obama's national finance committee don peebles. >> good morning, how are you? >> doing okay. what do you make of what's going on? you know, as a democrat you have to feel, we are not having a good week, we -- we blew it on the impeachment thing, we couldn't get that guy kicked out, then when it came to doing the caucusing in iowa, that was a mess. i was reading this morning and one of the papers about how democrats just feel little bummed out. >> look, i just don't recognize the democratic party right now. i mean, the party has turned so far left, also to see members of congress jointly dressing up in white as some form of protest or solidarity at the state of the union address is astonishing. i attended my first state of the union address when i was 17 and the country and jimmy carter was president and even then the

republicans an democrats respected the president. that is a -- i mean, just astonished and many people are, that's indicative of how much chaos is going on in the democratic party right now. steve: what about the fact, nancy pelosi, highest ranking government authority in the united states of america stood up behind the president of the united states when he was done with his 77-minute state of the union address and ripped it to shreds? >> i think it was unprofessional, undiplomatic, disrespectful at not just to the president, but to the country as a whole and i think it makes people who see her there wonder about her leadership which has already been called into question, so i mean i don't think she's helped the democratic party or herself, she's trying to hold on, i think the danger is when you try to hold onto power too long you start having to compromise your principles and your core values, politics shift and politics have

shifted under her. steve: all right, they have and as your party goes about picking a nominee james carville was on another channel and he talked about he's sitting from his point of view down in louisiana, i believe, and he does not like what your party is doing. >> why do i think are disgusted with democrats? highest turnout in 2018, we ran a smart campaign and it worked. all right. it matters who the candidate is, it matters what a party choses to talk about. i mean, 75 year's ole, why am i here doing this because i'm scared to death, that's why,let get relevant here, people for sure. steve: and one of the problems from his point of view, don, is the fact that if the standard bearer is, let's say bernie sanders who apparently won the first two rounds of the caucus

and is leading in new hampshire and if your standard bearer is a democratic socialist, that's going to be a problem for the people in the middle of your party who are looking to bring things back to where they used to be. >> absolutely, not even where they used to be but where most americans are, most americans are not socialists or communist, if you look at top 3 finishers in iowa right now, pete buttigieg, sanders and warren, none of them are electable, they will all lose in the general election to trump and the reality is they probably should, the sad reality here is that none of them reflect the party themselves, collectively the 3 of them have essentially no african-american support and african-american voters are the key to electing a democratic president. and they will have no energy for anyone of these 3 candidates. african americans are generally conservative especially on

religious issues, on various issues and they are certainly, we are all certainly -- that group of people in the democratic party are really taking a party that will alienate a large constituency in the party. >> that's why many party elders who have been on the program and we have seen on other shows as well made it very clear, when they look at slate of democrats running for president, the only one that makes sense on the person who could get elected would be joe biden, he's been there before, he's more moderate, he's not as way to the left and things like that. >> i'm not sure that joe biden is the answer to taking the democrats to the white house. i mean, i think you have to look -- steve: well, then who is? >> i think you have to look hard at mike al bloomberg, 3-term mayor of new york city. >> former republican. >> successful entrepreneurial. >> democrat, republican,

everybody kind of -- people who are really in the moderate zone tend to look somewhat conservative and liberal on various issues. i think you have to look at him and also i wouldn't be surprised to see duval patrick have a decent showing in new hampshire and a very positive showing in south carolina and that'll further the apple card, but biden is tittering right now and he's hanging on for dear life and he has to do well in south carolina. >> he said as he was leaving iowa and arriving in new hampshire that he had taken a gut punch, fourth or fifth place in caucusing, that's not good. to your point about mike al bloomberg, dnc changed the rules so that he didn't have to have a certain number of people who donated -- him money because he's financing it all by himself, he doesn't need any money, he's a gazillionare. >> if he becomes the nominee and

dangers that they would not support, i think it's bat optic for the party to not have been willing to make adjustments for cory booker but yet to make them for mike bloomberg, that's indicative that the party is scared too because they believe that sanders or warren are likely to be the nominees. by the way, it would be different if warren or sanders actually believed most of what they're saying, i don't even think they believe it, i think they are doing too many people like our party are, focusing on talks points so that they can try to have a shot at getting elected as opposed to standing up to what they truly believe in. steve: don pebbles, founder, chairman of the people's corporation joining us from miami, thank you very much. >> thank you very much for having me. brian: 27 minutes after the hour. proceedings that happened last night and what's about to happen today, senator, welcome, welcome

back, you took -- >> thanks for having me. >> a lot of people said if he doesn't vote for the president's exoneration, you took the heat and you said the president is innocent, why? >> on "fox & friends" over a year ago i talked about what the house of representatives has become, is it revenge majority, revenge majority that is trying to do everything they can to prevent the president from succeeding, we saw the fastest impeachment investigation in our nation's history, we saw the most partisan impeachment investigation in our nation's history, it gets over to the senate and had the senate actually moved the precedent that would have set, the danger it would have created for future presidents would have been unreal and the constitutional crisis that it could have created. so it was no question in any mind that as we went through process that they lacked the -- the high bar, the high burden they had to meet to remove for the first time in our nation's history a dually elected

president. i think that's what the senate did. again, i think what this shows, this is the first time that an impeachment has been used exactly the way framers said it shouldn't be used. the historical precedent, historical mark, partisan political faction to drive impeachment over policy difference and that's the policy it sets, when i ran in 2014 we changed dynamic of the country for the majority, since that time we've cut taxes, we've grown the economy, we have incredible successes for this country, but the stakes that impeachment showed are the stake that is we will be facing in 2020, do we have an america that wants to continue to build on the great things that we've been able to accomplish or do you empower people like chuck schumer or bernie sanders to take away people's healthcare to increase taxes, to increase regulations, that's the real choice and i think that's that mark that impeachment will show. >> i think that's probably going to be one of the talks points we

hear between now and the first tuesday in november, senator, you know, obviously was gigantic win for the president and the white house and for mitch mcconnell because he was able to hold all of the republicans together except mitt romney, you know, i know you can't get inside of his head but i'm sure a lot of people have said what's the deal with mitt to you? >> well, i think as senator mcconnell there's no such thing in the dog house in the united states senate, this shows that every member will come to their own conclusion whether you agree with it or not, i think that we have to realize that the same people who are praising him for his vote are the same people who called him a tax cheat that caused cancer and so the press will praise you when you do what they want you to do and attack you viciously when you don't

like what you do. brien: so what is your message to the people of colorado with this vote? >> my message with the vote is let's move forward, let's start getting things done, 2 days ago we announced $28 million for the construction of a pipeline that will serve 50,000 people with clean drinking water, this was the pipeline authorized in the 1960's by john f. kennedy, president trump actually made it happened, we were able to get this to work now, first time in over 50, 620 years, i'm in colorado springs today, i'm just a few miles away from u.s. space command, we've moved the bureau of land management to colorado, those are the things that i will be talking about to the four corners of our state and we need to move forward, we need to put this divisive partisanship behind us and start foe cushion on those things that we have

done for the country and we have done a lot of god things as incomes have increased, assuages are growing, as more people are employed in every sector of our country. ainsley: so interesting because we are waiting for the president's prayer breakfast, nancy pelosi is up there at the diaisis. what did your constituents say about that? >> embarrassing, and to see a speaker premeditated and that's why election is so important in 2020, that's why the focus on making sure, look, if we lose in colorado, we lose the senate majority, that's why people around the country, people around our state have towns the stakes because they want to take this country into a socialist direction, they want to take this country into a place where they are undoing the tax cuts and we can do better, we have

done better. steve: all right, senator gardner, thank you very much for joining us today. ainsley: thank you. steve: we will step aside, when we come back we hope to have the president at the prayer breakfast. sleep number event on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus 0% interest for 24 months on all smart beds. only for a limited time

president has arrived at the hilton, he has not yet come from behind the curtain, he's still backstage, we are awaiting his speech and very shortly actually you can see the vice president speaking with the vice chair of the event. nancy pelosi will be giving the prayer for the poor and the persecuted coming up shortly. ainsley: read scriptures and kevin mccarthy will speak and keynote address, harvard professor, washington post columnist and then the president of the united states will give remarks and then the closing prayers. brian: we will be there, cut right in, in the meantime 2020 hopefuls take new hampshire by storm after the caucus chaos in iowa which is still ongoing. ainsley: polls show that pete buttigieg and bernie sanders are in the lead forcing the other candidates to shift strategies. steve: griff jenkins live in new

hampshire as the clock ticks toward tuesday, griff, doesn't look like former vice president joe biden is having a very good week. >> well, i will tell you, steve, brian, ainsley, good morning, that's certainly the question here, it's the centennial, 100 year anniversary of the first of the nation primary here in new hampshire, this one would exciting because we expected vice president vice president to pick up steam if he didn't do well in iowa and he did lackluster job in iowa, look at the latest boston globe university poll, sanders, hometown favorite but pete buttigieg at 19%, up 4 points from yesterday, biden dropped 3% to 12%, warren 11%, 14% are undecided. meanwhile biden feeling the heat, taking off the day of the campaign, he was feeling the heat attacking sanders and pete buttigieg yesterday watch. >> he calls himself a democratic

socialist, well, we are seeing what donald trump will do with that. i do believe it's a risk for the party to have somebody that has never held office higher than mayor of indiana. steve: griff, we interrupt you. we are watching to see who he shakes hands with as he takes the dias. we believe that nancy pelosi is to your screen left, we don't think we saw him go down that end of the stage. ainsley: wonder how he's feeling today. brian: i'm sure they had this planned out not to have awkward moment. >> look at that, holding up the newspaper, acquitted. [cheers and applause] brian in a religious fashion. steve: of course, the president is going to be making a -- there

you go. ainsley: holding up the headlines. steve: he's going to be having press availability, this is the 64th, 68th annual prayer breakfast, it is bipartisan in nature, democrats and republicans. brian: well, we left the paper out. >> he will make remarks, i'm sure he will comment on this and i wonder if he will tie it to a prayer. steve: the president will be speaking 24 hours after he was acquitted, this will be the second time the president, president trump has spoken at the breakfast as cbn reported he shared the spotlight back in 2018 with house minority whip steve scalise who gave the keynote and sharing the story of how god intervene when he almost lost his life in the shooting at

the congressional baseball practice in 2017. ainsley: thousands of people there, two cochairs, one is a republican and one a democrat, john is the republican and then tom from brian's district democrat from new york, and then arthur brook will be the keynote speaker, the prayers, nancy pelosi is going up i assume to say the prayers for the poor and persecuted. brian: she's waiting for formal introduction. steve: there you go. ainsley: the president is on the other side of the podium. >> oh, lord, we thank all gathered at this prayer breakfast for lifting our voices to the poor and the persecuted, the millions who are missing or murdered because of their faith. let us pray for the lama and buddhist and prison in china or missing or for following their faith, let us pray and the one

to 3 million huegyrs in china, let us pray for adali in saudi arabia and the priest, rabbis, pastors, religious leaders around the world whose freedoms have been stolen because of what they believe, let us pray for the victims of anti-semitism including close who were brutally taken in tree of life synagogue and places of worship and communities around the world, let us pray for the countless muslims and other religious minorities unseened and unnamed who have been abducted, oppressed an abused because of what they are and what they believe, their faith. let us pray that the names of the persecuteed always live on

our lips and courage carry actions and let us pray to spark and that we treat everyone with dignity and respect. let us pray that we never become immune to atrocities that continue to challenge the collective conscious of our shared humanity. for us to faith leaders, who can mobilize the public, we pray that the moral clarity of faith moves us to demand justice for those who are suffering, and we pray that commercial never blind us to ongoing human right struggle fought by so many throughout the world. let us raise our voices in prayer as one and the struggle for freedom in the name of the father, the son and the holy ghost. amen. thank you. [applause]

brian: the speaker of the house and made remarks an rushed kind of through them and here is mark, let's see who he introduces, maybe brooks. >> to read from the holy scriptures. >> thank you, tom, these verses are part of a prayer that we as jews recite twice a day, the importance of this prayer is said in the very first line, the lord is our god, the lord is one. this prayer which has become so central to the jewish people, beautifully discusses ways in which our faith should be lived out and announces our declaration of faith in god. shamah israel, hero israel, the lord is our god, you shall love

the lord, your god with all your heart and with all your soul, with all your means and these words which i command you this day shall upon your heart and you shall teach them to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way and when you lie down and when you rise up, you should bind them assign on your hand and they should be ornaments and on door post of your house and upon your gates. if your son ask you in time what are the testimonies, the statutes, the ordinances which god our lord has commanded you, you shall say to your son, we were slaves to the pharaoh in egypt and the lord took us out of egypt with strong hand and the lord caved signs and wonders

and he brought us out of there in order that he might bring us and give us the land which he swore to our fathers and the lord commanded us to perform all the statutes to fear the lord our god for our good all the days to keep as live as of this day and it will be for our merit that we can observe commitments before our lord our god as he's commanded us. i'm thankful and blessed for the opportunity to speak in front of you today and would like to end with the blessing, may the lord bless you and watch over you, may the lord to shine to you and favor you, may the lord raise countness towards you and grants you peace, amen.

steve: fox news alert, you look at the national prayer breakfast, kevin mccarthy, minority leader for world and national leaders. ainsley: we need those prayers for national leaders. steve: new york post columnist, fox news contributor, michael, when the president came in, he could have made detour and shaken hands with nancy pelosi, he chose not to this morning.

>> yeah, could have, should have, would have, i think that's not surprising, it's actually quite comforting, though, to see them at an event like this, i mean, given -- i think this is a serious moment in our history where you have such a cold war, hot war between the president and the speaker. i don't ever recall it ever being so personal the way this is and the fact that they have not spoken since october, how does this government function? how can we continue this way? we can't, maybe the prayer breakfast will -- will -- steve stove bring them together? >> already got them in the same room and nobody is tearing anything just yet. that was pretty dramatic and not surprised. look, this is a very big event and he won and she lost. this is no two ways to look at it and she can deny it that it's not a real pa -- acquittal, it's

a real acquittal. she put that no motion. brian: we have 8 months of an election, what do you think in the interim? >> i think first there has to be breaking on the ice on some level. they have to be able to do some things, i think if they don't the democrats will be penalized more than the president for that. i mean, they have made this a war. he was willing to work with them on infrastructure, on immigration he asked them to help, they would not help on any of those things, they were all in resistance mode, that's what the democratic party came down to. ainsley: can they get back to that. can they have civility after she ripped it up and everything that's happened? >> i don't think it'll ever be forgotten, let's put it that way, but if they can work together to get things done and put that aside, i mean, that's what they always have to do, they have to get back to normal which is we don't like each other, we don't agree, but we work together for the common good on some areas where we can,

and that's still available to both of them. >> ultimately it comes down to every politician wants to get reelected, the democrats would like to keep the majority in the house, kevin mccarthy says i need 16, 17 votes to flip and next thing you know i get the big hammer, when you look who has the momentum right now is it the trump voters or is it the resistance and nancy pelosi going, yeah, i love that she stood up behind him and ripped the thing the shreds? >> they each have a constituency, democrats more or less were rewarded for all of this in 2018, they won a number of governor seats, they have been rewarded for the kavanaugh smears, all of those things, so that's the problem, both sides have a constituency and no bridge between them. brian: when you see the turnout

in iowa, republicans are hopeful that their base is mobilized because they had good base for unimposed president. ainsley: check out his op-ed in the new york post. thanks, michael. brian: back in a moment. that's the keynote speaker arthur brooks, washington post columnist. be back with the president to defeat your worst cold and flu symptoms fast. device: (sneezes) theraflu. the power is in your hands. that's a reason to switch to jackson hewitt. our tax returns come with a free lifetime accuracy guarantee. life may change. your lifetime accuracy guarantee won't. tax prep guaranteed at jackson hewitt.

>> president trump is set to speak at the moment, these are life pictures from the hilton that washington at the national prayer breakfast. >> is a professor now at harvard, giving the keynote address on the president will follow him and i'm sure he has to feel good about the audience there because the audience is part of his base. mostly white evangelicals. >> he was in the car with his wife and he just gave a story about how you should forgive your enemies, love your enemies, was at a message to president trump to forgive nancy pelosi? >> they have the newspapers that showed he had been acquitted and they held those up, it'll be interesting to see whether nancy pelosi was looking at it. the prayer breakfast is an all-day series of meetings and luncheons designed to build relationships, d.c. could use some of those right now. every president since dwight eisenhower has addressed

the audience. a steve scalise at a couple of years ago at this event when we took it live, it is one of the toughest is to get in washington. we will see where it goes and how it's covered. we will take all the president's remarks on our channel but i have to run to the radio. >> have a great day, see you tomorrow. >> sandra: fox news alert, any moment now expecting to hear from the president at the national prayer breakfast this morning, coming less than 24 hours after the senate acquitted president trump of both articles of impeachment. is going to be a busy morning. i am sandra smith. >> ed: good to see you as we await the president hearing him at that prayer breakfast, a political battle goes on. likely to subpoena john bolton and continue investigating the president. republicans want to hear more from hunter biden. >> this vote is no vindication, no real acquittal, no victory. the house managers failed to

prove
