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 their case and for that

reason the senate rightfully acquitted president trump. >> no one had allusions that the president would be convicted but we made the fight for truth that we made the fight for facts and created a bipartisan impeachme impeachment. that can never be erased from history, never. >> this was a ridiculous accusation against the presidency itself and to my colleagues who voted for conviction. i think you put the presidency at risk. i don't question your motives but i do question your judgment. >> ed: chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill, what's the fallout following the president's acquittal? >> the only real surprise was mitt romney voting guilty on abuse of power. >> the great question has two senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it raises the level of the high

crime and misdemeanor. yes, he did. >> on that charge, it was 52-48. he voted with his party against obstruction of congress so that was defeated 53-47. house democrats failed to deliver in the trial. >> had a case that was so flawed that the president's attorneys did not have the power to cross-examine the witnesses against them. he did not have the opportunity to present evidence for him. he did not have the opportunity, he was not given due process. >> this morning, the house impeachment managers expressing their disappointment and is not entirely clear the judiciary committee is already talking about subpoenaing john bolton, former national security advisor so it's not clear the democrats are ready to move on. >> ed: as you can see from her

screen, going to go to the president live in just a moment or so when the keynote wraps up, he is on the dais right now with speaker pelosi who was at the podium a few moments ago, a full report saying that he was looking on as the president displayed some newspapers that headlined, interesting considering the fallout where you were on the hill by nancy pelosi ripping up that copy of his speech. >> house republicans are asking nancy pelosi to be censured, kevin mccarthy blasted her on the house floor. >> she had no right to destroy this document, especially one filled with such impactful stories of american patriots. whether she likes it or not, these great american stories will be remembered by history, not a rac erased. >> more reaction when nancy pelosi addresses reporters later this morning. >> ed: sounds like the battle

is just beginning, things were starting this off. >> sandra: let's bring in senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, good morning to you speaking at the bright breakfast there but as many are noting this morning, expecting the president to take a victory lap at noon, at the prayer breakfast they are in washington and just heard from mike emanuel this is not over yet. already hearing from jerry nadler, a subpoena for john bolton as possible. >> spent the first two years of this administration basically saying he has a smoking gun of russian collusion and of course them mueller report prove there was nothing to do that. spent the last six months trying to convict the president and impeach them over something that never happen. so i fully expect they will try for a third act here before the american people ultimately hold them accountable in november, but is not doing anybody any good. i think the president is going

to focus on the senate republicans are going to focus on things like the economy, and people are actually focused on it. to make your former boss went on hannity last night and told everybody how he really feels after all this. >> this was a thoroughly political maneuver. it was, it was stupid. backfired. the president has got the best numbers he's had since he's been in office, all looking at better numbers than they were before impeachment started, so if this was all about the november election, it seems to be we can conclude at least in the short term here this is a colossal political mistake. >> sandra: as i mentioned, the president held up that newspaper in washington acquitted. here's "the new york post" covered this morning. "trump's turn to rip." so what is the next move on the part of the president after all of this? >> he should enjoy a victory lap here. this is one of the most ill-conceived events in the history of the legislative

branch. they basically set aside the business of the american people for six months on an absolute witch hunt that ended predictably in total defeat on partisan line. i'm sure he and his colleagues feel liberated to speak at this point after having to sit for three weeks and silence and it must be nice to provide rejoinder for a little bit of that. but yesterday filed for five more judges, they're going to quickly turn the page on this and get back to the business of the american people. >> sandra: certainly seem to dsuggest that in the state of te union. here's the post, house impeachment managers say trump will be vindicated, the senate won't be either. they are making the case that there cannot be an exoneration with what they say was not a legitimate trial.

you heard chuck schumer and others say they will always be an asterisk next to that acquittal. >> is absolutely ridiculous and you remember back when everything that president trump said about the institutions, a grave threat to our democracy but that's pretty much what that that is saying the framers of our constitution when they gave the senate the full power to exonerate or convict the president of the united states don't have that power if you disagree with it which is complete and utter nonsense. numbers are at an all-time high over the last three years, it's a regrettable episode that most people want to put behind them and democrats made a grave mistake if they continue here. >> sandra: will be very interesting, those next few moments as we await to hear the president in washington. thank you. a lot more on all of this coming up in our next hour, we will be

speaking with press secretary stephanie grisham and get the white house reaction to the president's acquittal just hours after it all happen yesterday. >> ed: not just have the president a few minutes from now, but at noon eastern. he has his news conference at the white house given his propensity to push back, fight back, he might be going after mitt romney, might be pushing back on jerry nadler and adam schiff who want to keep on investigating the president so we have a wild morning ahead. >> sandra: won an amazing scene they are to be looking on at washington at the prayer breakfast to have the president about to speak at nancy pelosi sitting right there to his side. >> ed: these folks have been going at it for a long time and i suspect we will see a lot more battles. in the meantime. we've got some results from the iowa caucuses, they are almost all in. 97% of the precincts reporting, pete buttigieg holds a very narrow lead over bernie sanders in the delicate battle with joe biden in fourth. now taking a day off to regroup ahead of new hampshire.

our man on the ground in manchester, he has details. good morning. >> good morning get a lot of questions being asked here, like joe biden has taken the day off the campaign trail speaking just up the street here in downtown manchester, yesterday meanwhile was attacking the front runners sanders and pete buttigieg. listen. >> he calls himself a democratic socialist. we have already seen what donald trump is going to do with that. i do believe it's a risk for this party to nominate someone who's never held an office higher than mayor of a count of thousand people in indiana. >> meanwhile, a new "boston globe" poll has sanders head followed by pete buttigieg and warren. >> ed: in the meantime, we can see that the president is being introduced now it's he will be

speaking in a moment or so. as you noted, got the news conference later at the white house where he may be throwing some barbs, upset about how this played out in recent months, but the prayer breakfast is a chance for us in unity. had a lot of predictions before the state of the union that he wouldn't be able to resist talking about impeachment but he did resist and wanted to talk about his positive vision and his agenda. >> sandra: also at noon eastern time expected to take a victory lap, nancy pelosi holding her weekly news conference at 10: 45 eastern time. >> ed: here's the president. [cheers and applause]

>> president trump: thank you. thank you very much. i am working very hard for you, i will tell you. and sometimes you don't make it easy and i certainly don't make it easy on you and i will continue that tradition if i

might this morning and i don't know if i agree with you, but i don't know this author's going to like what i'm going to say. but i love listening to you, it's very great, thank you very much. and thank you congressman for the great job you've been doing in the relationship on the help, you are a warrior, thank you very much. kevin, you are a warrior, thank you. the job you've done is incredible. wasn't supposed to be that way. a lot of extra work, unnecessary work. it is wonderful to be with the thousands of religious believers for the 68th annual national prayer breakfast, from the first one where i had the privilege of being asked, i've been with you for a long time for that. and we made tremendous progress, tremendous progress.

i don't think anyone's done more than all of us together during this last three years. and it's been my honor, but this morning we come together as one nation blessed to live in freedom and grateful to worship in peace as everybody knows, my family, our great country and your president has been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. they have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. they know what they are doing is wrong but they put themselves far ahead of our great country. weeks ago and again yesterday,

courageous republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude, and strength to do what everyone knows was right. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that's not so. so many people have been hurt, and we can't let that go on. i will be discussing that a little bit later at the white house. we are joined today by two people whose faith inspires us all. our amazing, wonderful friend vice president mike pence and

his wonderful wife karen. thank you to all of our great political leaders out there, so many that have been working with so hard over the last three years and we've accomplished so much went to members of my cabinet in attendance, secretary mike pompeo, david berner, betsy devos, robert wilkie, and administrator. joining us. [cheers and applause] for this cherished tradition are a lot of friends in the audience, and many really have

become friends. they are political leaders, they've become great friends. that's all like it to me anymore. that and the enemies of the allies and we have them all. we have allies, we have enemies. sometimes, the allies or enemies but we just don't know it. but we are changing all of that. but thank you all for being here. i also want to welcome foreign dignitaries from more than 140 countries, that is something. everyone here today is united by your shared conviction. we know our nation is stronger, our future is brighter and her joy is greater. when we turn to god and ask him to shed his grace on our lives. on tuesday, i addressed congress on the state of the union and the great american comeback,

that's what it is. our country has never done better than it is doing right now. our economy is the strongest it has ever been. and for those of you that are interested in stocks, looks like the stock market will be way up again today. according to the latest gallup poll that just came out a little while ago, a few minutes ago, american satisfaction is at the highest level ever recorded. can you imagine? that is from gallup, no friend of mine. 90% of americans say they are satisfied with their personal lives. how about that? is in that something? just came out today. they must have known i was going to be here. in everything we do, we are

creating a culture that protects freedom and includes religious freedom. as i said on tuesday in the house chamber, an america we don't publish prayer, we don't tear down crosses, we don't ban symbols of faith, we don't muzzle preachers, we don't muzzle pastors. in america, we celebrate faith. we cherish religion. we lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sites to the glory of god. [applause] so much of the greatness we have achieved, the mysteries we've unlocked and the wonders we've built, the challenges we've met and the incredible heights that we have reached has come from

the face of our families and the prayers of our people. before america declared independence, patriots and all 13 colonies came together in days of fasting and prayer. in that bitter cold of valley forge, washington and his men had no food, no supplies, and very little chance of victory. it reminded me a little bit of 2016, very little chance of victory. except for the people in this room and some others believed we were going to win. i believed you were going to win. but what we did was have an unwavering belief that god was with them. i believe that too. god is with the people in this room. before a single skyscraper rose up in new york city, thousands

of 4 american families donated all they could to build a magnificent st. patrick's cathedral. when buzz aldrin landed on the moon, he said houston, i would like to request a few moments of silence, then he read from the bible. at every stage, our nation's long march for civil rights was inspired, sustained, and uplifted by faith, prayer, and devotion of religious believers. to protect faith communities, i have taken historic action to defend religious liberty including the constitutional right to pray in public schools. [cheers and applause]

we can also talk about the johnson amendment, we can talk about mexico city policy, we have done a lot. but i also recently took executive action to stop taxpayer dollars from going into colleges and universities that spread the poison of anti-semitism and bad things about christianity.

we are upholding the sanctity of life, the sanctity of life. [cheers and applause] and we are doing that like nobody has ever done it before from this position. we'd better get out and vote on november 3rd. we have a lot of people out there that aren't liking what we're doing. and we are pursuing medical breakthroughs to save premature babies because every child is a sacred gift from god.

[applause] together, we are building the world's most prosperous and inclusive society, lifting up the citizens of every race, color, religion, and create a period of bringing hope to forgotten communities and more americans are working today, 160 million. a little bit short, just a little bit. 160 million we have never been even close than ever before. think of it, more americans are working today, almost 160 million than ever before. our unemployment are the best in the history of our country. a more specific number and

numbers if you hear me say, if you listen, african-american, asian american, hispanic-american, the best unemployment numbers in the history of our country. women, best in 71 years. i have to apologize for the women that it took 71 years but that best unemployment numbers. we are doing things that nobody thought possible. we are setting records nobody thought achievable. and to give former prisoners a second chance at life which so many people assume they worked on for so long. we have passed criminal justice reform into law and i signed it nine months ago.

and it is proving more and more that america is indeed a nation that believes in redemption. what's happening with prisoners is nobody would give them a job and often times, most of the time, get caught doing something bad, had no money, no hope, no job. now we have a booming economy and employers are hiring them into a certain extent a hard time getting people. first time in our country's history actually running out of people, we have plants moving and by the thousands. we have car companies coming from japan and germany, from lots of other places and we need

people and employers are hiring prisoners and they would've never done it except for what we've done with criminal justice reform but even before that because the economy has become so powerful. and these prisoners have done an incredible job. the employers are saying why didn't i do this 20 years ago? so it's an incredible thing what's happening to people that are given a second chance and sometimes a third chance, in all fairness. and it's something everybody in this room should be very proud about because we've always felt this way long before it was fashionable, so i want to thank you for that. [applause] as we revive our economy, we are also renewing our national spirit. today, we proudly proclaim that faith is alive and well and thriving in america and we are

going to keep it that way. nobody will have it changed, it won't happen as long as i'm here. it will never, ever happen. something which wasn't done nearly enough, i could almost say wasn't done at all, we are standing up for persecuted christians and religious minorities all around the world. like nobody has ever done. last year at the united nations, i was honored to be the first president to host a meeting of religious freedom that was based all on religious items. that was the first meeting of its kind ever held at the united nations. and there, i called upon all nations to combat the terrible

injustice of religious persecution. and people listened. i know countries that we give billions of dollars to, they listened because they had to listen. it's amazing how that works, isn't it? nobody ever played that game before. weeks ago, a 21-year-old woman who goes by the name of mary was seized and imprisoned in iran because she converted to christianity and shared the gospel with others. in venezuela, the dictator maduro has arrested church leaders. at the state of the union, i was honored to host a true and legitimate president of venezuela, one migh. a good man. i told him that all americans stand with the venezuelan people

and their righteous trouble for freedom. yesterday, our administration lodge the religious freedom alliance, the first ever alliance devoted to promoting religious liberty. really something. more than 25 countries have already joined our campaign. i want to thank secretary of state mike pompeo along with ambassador sam brownback who are both here this morning for leading this historic initiative. thank you very much. thank you. [applause] all of us here today reaffirm these timeless truths, faith keeps us free. prayer makes a strong, and god alone is the author of life and the giver of grace.

with us this morning is a pastor who embodies the miracle of faith in the power of prayer, reverend gerald to psalms from louisiana. he is an army veteran, a truck driver and a pastor. he leads the same church that his father lead, mount pleasant baptist church, which has been a pillar of the community for more than 140 years. last year, mount pleasant was 1 of 3 african-american churches in louisiana that was destroyed in fires set by a wicked hate filled arsonists. yet in the wake of such shocking evil, america witnessed the unshakable unity, devotion, and spirit of reverend and his

entire highly spirited beautiful congregation. families quickly came together in prayer. soon, people from all across louisiana came to help anyway they could. americans in all 50 states and 20 different countries heard about it, and they donated more than $2 million to help rebuild mount pleasant and the other two churches that were there. [applause] on easter sunday, just days after he lost his church, about

what it all meant, what does it mean? the easter season, he said, is a fitting metaphor for recent events. was dark the day that was crucified. was dark at night when they burned her church's. what has happened since is like a resurrection, all things are gone but it's going to be a brand-new start and it's going to be better than ever, revere reverend. better than never. fantastic. 90 day, just ten months later, careful plans have been made and construction is about to begin on the new and very magnificent mount pleasant church. congratulations. [applause]

the reverend says that we are rebuilding because that's what does, he rebuilds. that's what he does, he wants it to be rebuilt. was torn apart, but it's being rebuilt again and i will bet you it will indeed be bigger, better, and nicer than before. what do you think, yes? it's going to have your mark on it. and your father is looking down on you right now and he's very proud of the job you've done. thank you very much. [applause] very much inspire us, reverend. thank you. i want to thank everybody.

this has been very special. tell your congregation and all of your people that we have 350 million people in our country, proud americans and they respect what we are doing even those that you don't think so much like us, respect us want to be with us. they are respecting our fight, and we are in a fight. religion in this country and religion all over the world, certain religions in particular are under siege. we won't let that happen. we are going to protect all religions. we are going to protect christianity. we are going to protect our great ministers and pastors and rabbis and all of the people that we so cherish that we so

respect. america is eternally in the debt of this nation's african-american churches all throughout this country. that's why it is so fitting and so -- one of the reasons we chose this particular church in louisiana, for generations they have bravely fought for justice and lifted up the conscience of our nation and we are grateful beyond any measure. but i can say that going beyond that, we are grateful to the people of this room for the lovely show to religion, not one religion, but many religions. they are brave, they are brilliant, they are fighters, they like people and sometimes they hate people. i'm sorry. i apologize. i am trying to learn.

not easy. it's not easy. when they impeach you for nothing, and you're supposed to like them, it's not easy, folks. i do my best. but i will tell you what we are doing, restoring hope and spreading faith, helping the citizens of every background take part in the great rebuilding of our nation. we are declaring america will always shine is a land of liberty and light on to all nations of the world. we want every nation to look up to us like they are right now. we were not a respected nation just a few years ago. we had lost our way. our country is respected again by everybody. this morning, let us ask father

in heaven to guide our steps, protect our children and bless our families and with all of our heart, let us forever embrace the eternal truth that every child is made equal by the hand of almighty god. thank you, god bless you, and god bless america. thank you all very much, thank you. [cheers and applause] ♪ >> ed: that was a remarkable 30 minutes or so, the president of the united states giving his first extensive comments on his acquittal from the impeachment trial in the u.s. senate, at the 68th annual prayer breakfast and as you see

at the end they are saying when they impeach you for nothing, that want to pretend they like you, it is not easy. this came after he attacked democrats saying they had gone after his family and the country had put them through a terrible ordeal. he said this was done by very dishonest and corrupt people. he went on to attack without naming him mitt romney said he doesn't like when people use their faith to move forward and do something they know it's wrong, mitt romney of course voting on one of the article is to convict the president and finally also taking a swipe at nancy pelosi and saying when people say they pray for you as nancy pelosi famously said recently and you know they are out to get you, he doesn't like that either. so some remarkable comments from the president we just heard and now we will hear a little bit more. to my brand-new reaction, michael mccaul is a ranking republican on the foreign affairs committee. he was listening to the president's words they were in washington. your response. >> it was a perfect platform for the president after this nightmare the nation has been through the last several months

and after yesterday's acquittal. talking about healing from the nation, moving forward, the idea of forgiveness and redemption again, he had some great themes throughout the speech about religious liberty, it was very important on the foreign affairs committee, we deal with this issue all the time passing legislation, respecting the rights of tibetans who are persecuted by the chinese, and the dalai lama as well. i thought it was very timely and the giver of grace, i can't think of a better time or

platform after what this nation has been through for the last four months in the national prayer activist and look really presidential. to mark the optics from there she was, standing ovation for the president before he began speaking, and advised her feet. she did clap her hands as we anticipated the president's words. this is a live look at nancy pelosi there on the stage in washington and newt gingrich weighed in on what he saw with the speaker of the house was a former speaker of the house himself, he is said for four state of the unions by a a president of the other party, i am disgusted and insulted by the viciously partisan action of nancy pelosi, childlessness in

both our american traditions should be censured. congressman, i just wonder from you based on what we just saw, took on nancy pelosi without naming her. she said i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong, nor do i like say i pray for you when they know that is not so. what does that relationship look like going forward and the ability of congress on the president to get things done in the next few months? >> it is a very strange relationship obviously. i have never seen a speaker of the house be so disrespectful in the chamber. i was very close to the president and seek nancy pelosi ripping his speech's page by page and filling it down, there will be a censure vote on the house today and i hope it passes, but i don't think it will. we need some accountability for

this, we need some civility in the chamber, more civility in this nation and i'm hopeful with this acquittal behind this that we can now move forward to get good things that are for the american people because that's what i think most americans when they go home to get good things done for the nation. at nancy pelosi was shameful the house floor. the president deserves an apology but that won't happen. we will have the censure vote today. a team that we will hear from her, holding her conference so she is likely to be asked by reporters about that and we will see what she has to say this morning. congressman mccaul, appreciate you this morning. >> ed: this fox news alert, breaking news on coronavirus, a number of confirmed cases in

america rising to 12 including a newborn. is china doing enough to contain the outbreak? >> sandra: candidates now storm new hampshire, growing fallout from the iowa caucus fiasco. >> we took a gut punch in iowa. the whole process took a gut punch, but this isn't the first time in my life i've been knocked down. e future. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. i'm good at my condo well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.

which leads the delegates, pete buttigieg has 550 and bernie sanders has 547 when the popular vote, the number of people who came out to the caucuses, it is more like 25% to 21%. a much clearer burning lead. >> ed: most of us are doing what you see now, the delegates are important but the graphics show but when people came out to vote in the first alignment that we kept talking about, bernie sanders in terms of actual votes is in the lead and you have to wonder how upset his camp is that it's being reported that he is in second. >> extremely upset, it plays right into the hands of the bernie sanders theme from 2016 at the dnc hurt me and the bernie bros get really angry about this. for pete buttigieg, it is also a problem because yesterday he had a much larger lead in the state delegate equivalent i know it

looks like it is even possible that bernie sanders is going to tie him which may mean that for the first millennial candidate for president lined up from iowa not getting a big boost but getting a participation trophy. >> ed: first millennial candidate and yet using snail mail apparently in iowa in part, not totally. there's a "new york times" piece you can see on a private conference call, iowa democratic leaders revealed more about how the reporting process on monday night when so arrive. and it is in the story, it says snail mail used in part for some of the tally sheets from precincts. how could we be in 2020 and still snail mailing this? >> that's a really good question and they want to get affidavits from every precinct to prove they were actually tracking all the votes, counting all the votes and it wound up taking them for days or whatever, we may find the final answer today but he did not get the boost he

could've gotten if the vote had been announced and there is no clear winner but more important, what you may find is a very large split in the party between the sanders faction from the establishment faction. >> ed: i've got 30 seconds, bernie sanders just revealed he raised $25 million in january so he has a big war chest. joe biden comes away from fighting the current count is zero delegates. so new hampshire and south carolina are getting more and more pressure. >> all important for biden to prove that he is viable post new hampshire and in south carolina because what happens come super tuesday, bernie sanders has $25 million become super tuesday, michael bloomberg has 400 plus. it's not around the time at any presidential election when the party gets buyer's remorse. you four years ago and usually there's no one there to capture that and this time it might be.

>> ed: watching on in michigan, no snail mail with him. all over it. >> sandra: homeland security banning new york from trusted traveler programs as part of a state law that limits cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

>> sandra: it has been a week. here and now with fox news media analyst and host of media buzz, good morning to you. it is hard to believe we all started out in iowa earlier this week and here we are less than 24 hours after the acquittal of the president and the senate, it has been a few days. >> with is one of the best weeks of the trump presidency, unbelievable iowa fiasco rubbed

bb to judge and bernie sanders of their moment in the televised son when you combine that with a pretty well-received state of te union speech at nancy pelosi was cheered by democrats ripping up the speech. i think it looks kind of petty for the otheride and getting his highest approval rating 49%, he comes out of this stronger than he went into it and i think it shows once one party impeachment, but did not work with donald trump. >> sandra: meanwhile, mitt romney's vote was the only one to cross party lines and here is just a sampling of the media reaction to it. >> he has changed his place in history. >> this was a profile in courage and that they were still mavericks. >> that was a real act of courage. >> i would like my four children to be like that. >> sandra: a maverick, a real

act of courage, everybody still talking about the sentence grabbing the headlines this morning. >> so many journalists, liberal commentators tailing him as a hero and a man of principle, far different, drastically different from what they said about him when he was running for president in 2012 when he was a capitalist who enjoyed laying people off in a flip-flop or, tied his dog to the roof of the car. so now suddenly because romney voted against the president of his party and agrees with the media consensus, just tailing him because they are affecting statues to mitt romney. as he predicted with chris wallace many conservatives in the media trashing him, calling him judas saying he should resign because of what he describes as a vote of conscience. a lot of people changing their position based on this vote by the senator from utah. to my card to keep track of all of that. we will hear from nancy pelosi and a bit and the president at

noon eastern time today. then as far as 2020, off to new hampshire. howie kurtz will be with us through all of it. thank you. >> ed: meantime, the president fresh off that center acquittal and now taking digs at democrats, the speaker, and it met romney this morning and remarks at the national prayer breakfast. not the last time we will hear from him today. he has a news conference coming up at first, stephanie grisham is our headliner and she joins us next. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said... i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa the ups and downs of frequent mood swings

too much just moments from now, nancy pelosi scheduled to give her weekly news conference, report is expected to ask her about president trump's acquittal in the senate. might hear something about this morning's prayer breakfast as well bear that just happen moments ago, we will get brand-new reaction to all of that in just a moment the federal white house stephanie grisham standing by. i'm but first, an update on the coronavirus as we await a news conference from health officials this afternoon, the 12th case has now been confirmed in the united states. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i am sandra smith. >> ed: i am ed henry. another busy morning. a coronavirus continuing its rapid spread in china where a newborn is now this youngest person to be diagnosed, the death toll is rising. >> sandra: topping 500 with nearly 30,000 people infected globally. coming out of the state of wisconsin. >> ed: our correspondent is

live in atlanta with an update, good morning. >> they were not 12 confirmed cases in the u.s., the latest patient coming out of wisconsin, a traveler to beijing where the patient was exposed to people known to be unaffected according to public health officials upon arrival in madison, went to uw health university hospital for testing and now recovering in isolation at home. >> anyone who has a confirmed coronavirus, their close contacts need to be evaluated and monitored as appropriate. >> the state department continues to evacuate americans and noncitizen family members from china but they will remain under 14 day quarantine at military bases in the u.s., among 167 passengers arriving at the station, including a child who developed fever or cough were taken to local hospitals for further treatment and testing.

178 passengers arriving at travis air force base, a small child developed a fever on the flight and was transported with the mother to a nearby hospital. >> children have fever for a number of different reasons, being evaluated at this point and put in isolation and tested. >> another child who developed fever after arriving a at the ar reserve base last week has tested negative for the virus, so that child and a parent were discharged from the hospital and returned to base to finish the remainder of their quarantine with 193 other passengers on board. meanwhile, more passengers aboard a team cruise ship have tested positive for coronavirus. they include two americans. this brings the total to 20 confirmed cases from the diamond princess cruise liner which was at yokohama port. the infected passengers were

transferred to nearby hospitals but the remaining 3700 passengers have been instructed to remain on board that ship in quarantine in their cabins. >> ed: thank you. >> my family, great country, and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal, some very dishonest and corrupt people. they have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. >> ed: president trump, you saw him live just a short time ago at the national prayer breakfast calling out his opponents in the wake of his acquittal at the impeachment trial. >> sandra: meanwhile, set to speak again just under two hours from now from the east room of the white house with the

reaction ahead of that is today's headliner white house press secretary stephanie grisham. good morning and thank you for being here. what will we hear from the president when he speaks at no noon? >> not going to get too far ahead of him but he gave a little preview this morning at the prayer breakfast. he is going to be honest, going to speak with honesty and with humility and he and the family went through a lot. going to talk about just how horribly he was treated and that may be people should pay for that. >> ed: when you say the president is glad it's over, on the other hand of the sound to us like a summer because democrats like jerr jerry nadlee saying the for john bolton even though there's been no acquittal, the investigation goes on. >> i actually went to bed last night thinking i wonder if this is going to be over or if they are going to continue on with their antics and we are certainly prepared for that, since the president went down

the escalator so we are prepared for them to continue to try to hurt the president rather than try to help the country. in the president meanwhile will continue to help the country, he travels tomorrow to do some things with opportunity zone. he stays focused and that's just how it will go. >> sandra: i just heard you say when people don't do what is right, they will pay for that. the president seemed to target nancy pelosi without naming her at that prayer breakfast this morning saying he would be discussing a little bit more as to what is next at noon today. here is a bit of what he said about nancy pelosi. >> nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that's not so. so many people have been hurt, and we can't let that go on. and i will be discussing that a little bit later at the white house. >> sandra: what is the president suggesting there?

>> people should be held accountable. the democrats should be held accountable for not only what they did to the president and to his family but the country. people need to understand what the democrats it was dishonest and it was corrupt and it had no other motive then to take him out in 2020. people should be held accountable for anything they do to try to hurt this country on this president. >> ed: in terms of accountability, calling for some sort of an ethics investigation about nancy pelosi ripping up the pieces of paper, matt gaetz was even suggesting it was criminal. this was the president going to go after nancy pelosi over that and what is his reaction to her ripping that up? >> i don't think he has to go after her any more than the public sees what she did there and as our polls continue to go up, there is continue to go lower and lower in that act that she did was just an example of that. didn't just tear up some papers, she tore up a speech that had american heroes in it. she tore up a speech that had a vision for our country and what's worse, she had the speech

pretty torn before she stood up to do it. so she needs to be held accountable for that. they were more important things going on than silly little childish antics i continue to fall. >> sandra: meanwhile, here is chuck schumer on the president's acquittal talking about there will always be an asterisk next to it. >> now that our republican colleagues have rejected a fair trial, truth, there was a giant asterisk next to the president's acquittal. he was acquitted without facts, acquitted without fair trial, and it means that his acquittal is virtually valueless. >> sandra: writing this, trump will be vindicated, the senate won't be either.

being denied a fair trial in the senate. the white house responds. >> it is amazing to me that they forget that the president was denied any fair due process starting with the house, starting with nancy pelosi. i don't mean to be disrespectful, but they are being sore losers. the story is the president is not guilty. the story is something he didn't actually do. they are being sore losers, they are going to probably concoct some new schema new scandal but until then, there is no asterisk there. it's what a successful president we have. >> ed: saying it was his faith that guided him in voting to convict the president from one of the articles. how disappointed are you that this was not a bipartisan acquittal as some where the president had been pushing forth to didn't get any democrats to vote to acquit and had one

republican who is voting yes. >> certainly i was disappointed but sadly wasn't surprised. you put party inside and religion aside, i just had to wonder, was mitt romney even listening because if he was listening, he would not have voted that way. i am old enough to remember when mitt romney was doing all he could to become secretary of state. i was there when he met with the president at bedminster, i was there when he went to dinner with him in new york, i remember when he wanted to be secretary of state just like in 1994, i think he is flip-flopping. >> ed: the president seriously considered mitt romney, was that a mistake when he said he went through all that, from any one of the job the president was talking to him about? >> he talked to many people for many positions. that's a natural thing to do. >> sandra: before we let you

go, it was fascinating for many to watch nancy pelosi stand up for the president this morning ahead of his speech at the prayer breakfast and she applauded along with everyone else, a standing ovation there. i don't believe we all ever saw nancy pelosi and the president interact or handshake, the president talked about redemption and he talked about reconciliation and forgiveness has a prayer breakfast. does he have any plans to reconcile his relationship with nancy pelosi? >> a mention in there that he is going to try his hardest but that it is difficult when somebody has been out to try to ruin your reputation and your political career that's going to be difficult to do. the president hasn't stopped trying to work with democrats on the other side even as they've been putting him through this, that is how usmca got past so he will continue to forge ahead for the country and try to get work done. >> sandra: should at a minimum apologize for ripping up that

speech, we might hear from her if she were to do that, with the president except that apology? >> i think she absolutely should apologize for that but also should be apologizing for what you've done to the country for the past few months or so until she does that, i'm not sure we are going to accept any apologies. >> ed: we appreciate you coming in and being her headliner today. in the meantime, the markets are up watching that as well, record highs from the dow. straight ahead, weighs in on the reason for all the optimism. >> sandra: record highs they are and then met romney as we just spoke about the only republican to convict president trump so what does that mean for the utah senator's political future? >> it is going to get very lonely and again, the consequences are significant. they are enough that it may be a very difficult process for me. for veterans. ks va mortgage rates have dropped to near 50-year lows. newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year.

dow up 16 points but as i mentioned, new record high. the new high from the dow but on what the president was speaking at that prayer breakfast this morning, so the numbers i continue to boost this market. >> it's tough to put cause and effect on political events, we always try to but impeachment from the beginning was a known out, and that's what market participants always look at, they know the president is going to be acquitted, he was

acquitted so not much movement in the market as a result of that but if you have strong manufacturing numbers as we've had this week, than the market can keep going up. wasn't that long ago we were talking about an economy that would be slowing down even going into recession, nobody talks that way anymore. now, there is talk of an economy that previrus before the concerns came in from china, an economy that was picking up some steam. >> ed: are those concerns about coronavirus still out there seems economically. >> is a headline this morning that china is cutting the tariffs on items coming in from the united states, which on the surface sounds to your point like the concerns are easy but it could be the opposite. you think about it, out in iowa last week when talking iowa farmers on friday and one of the things that they pointed out and it could be playing out in real

time is after phase one of the trade deal was signed with china, they haven't actually seen any buying and they were concerned that if china's economy really slows, it goes through a recession because of that i can try to make good on its promises? so now there are some analyst looking at that and saying where they cutting the tariffs? that makes their food cheaper to buy and maybe they are cutting it because they have to because their economy is slowing down. >> sandra: is it fair to say we are entering tax season or somewhere near it? >> ed: some people feel like we are always in tax season. >> sandra: turbotax has a report as a company charged at least 14 million americans for tax prep that should have been free last year. looking at it this morning, they were put out by propublica and inspector general at the treasury department looked into them so on the service they say two and a half million people

was eligible among which the little bit deceiving but if you look at the real numbers because some people choose to have someone do their taxes for them or they want to pay for a more advanced system, there is a system that a lot of people just don't know about that the irs has partnered up with some companies like h&r block and you can use it for free but what happens according to this audit, the companies will steer you in to a system where it sounds free, but it's not. there are some fees attached to it. so overall what they say is there's 34 and a half million people's that use their software to do their own taxes. of those, 14 million paid and could have received it for free. so it seems like they didn't really know about this, the story getting some attention, people will look around and say why don't i look at this system that is called u.s. free file? that's what the program is called in some people have

complicated lives were it's not enough for them but many people that probably could be using this. and just don't know about it. >> ed: i can just email you. >> sandra: get started now. ever too early. >> that's the one thing they say, death and taxes. >> sandra: we will see you at 4:00 as well. thank you. >> ed: meanwhile, taking aim at a new rule to keep agents from making arrests in and around courthouses, how the agency's having pushed back. >> sandra: met romney voting with democrats to convict the president and his impeachment trial so what is the possible fallout from his political career? are a team has a lot to say about that and more next. >> they will be some people who might be happy with it and they might be called democrats. as for the most part, i think republicans are very upset about it and i for one disagree with him and disagree with them

strongly look, this isn't my first rodeo...

abuse of power, the senate going off on that, but romney is now facing some backlash from breaking ranks with his fellow republicans. when my former national republican congressional committee communications director who is an aid to romney during his 2020 campaign. and axios reporter, good morning, all. you use the word for met romney, discovered that campaign, obama would call him the king of outsourcing and all the rest of my the democrats are saying he is a hero and meanwhile wanted him to be president back then, now saying he is an outcast. >> i will say it's extremely frustrating to see democrats, they called him a felon, said he gave a woman cancer, called him a decent honorable man and said he put people back in chains back in 2012. at the end of the day, i was surprised and also not

surprised. i genuinely thought republicans would all vote to acquit on this. i figured we would see something along the lines of where it was wrong but not impeachable but on the other hand, he has an incredibly decent man doing what he thinks is right, certainly the republican party disagrees but i'm not going to say a bad word about him. >> sandra: the president chose to take them on in the prayer breakfast this morning without naming him. >> yesterday, courageous republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude, and strength to do what everyone knows was right. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. that was the president a few moments ago at the hilton in d.c. >> it is a little rich to come from the president at a breakfast that is supposed to be i'm old enough to remember when

this was a unifying breakfast who has his own problems over the years. when my problems with his face? >> in a sense of there's a lot of questions about how deep his own commitment is. >> ed: let's not question people's faith. >> the issue is set under romney spoke truth about what he felt so to question him doesn't seem to be the appropriate thing to do and i think it was the right thing to do and frankly the republicans would have done it if they weren't in this position which is the position of a lot of strength in a position where he doesn't need more money after he gets out of office, he doesn't need to worry about his reelection by the time that comes around, no one is going to remember that happen. >> ed: saying there was a price to pay for people who came

off the president and sandra pressed on that. i wonder what all that means? what is the president going to say at noon? >> i think if history is any guide, i don't think this is the last the president will say about met romney. you guys remember when john mccain voted down the aca, the president still talks about him. so i think met romney is going to get a lot of criticism from the president for a long time i imagine. but again, i am not quite sure how severe that price is going to be for someone like mitt romney who has already been the republican presidential nominee. i don't know how much more he wants out of his career. >> sandra: this morning and "the wall street journal" and op-ed, the caucus night mess in iowa comes as the president is on an unlikely role. so what happens next onward to new hampshire? >> i think you were going to squeeze mayor pete and they are

being from the neighboring state, very sophisticated organizations. he put all his chips and iowa. he needs to come to the top two and then we have joe biden, he doesn't have an event today at all. i don't know what he's doing what he has to really do a good showing. >> ed: you are the democrat and there were reports that there's going to be a shake-up, pushed at the iowa field director yesterday saying what in the world were you doing? >> those of us here, it is never a good idea when you are taking up your campaign staff, not a good sign. but what i will say is i have a slightly different take on this, a surprising twist in this is going to be the rise of former new york city mayor michael bloomberg who doubled down after iowa because he's got the money and all these people are going to find as we all know the money starts to dry out very quickly without enough

victories and momentum, you can say you're going to stay until the end but you can't. and he's going to have a lot of real problems and they're to look to particularly if it becomes quickly it's a two-person race between a someone like bernie and michael bloomberg. that could take this whole contest in a very unexpected direction for someone who just got into the race. >> this race has always been about lanes. there is a very progressive lane which is bernie's traditional lane and then warren has been trying to compete within their and in the moderate lane which is and we see pete buttigieg obviously won that competition among the moderate democrats and iowa and i think biden is going to try to make a comeback and michael bloomberg could make an appearance too but this race is primarily between the left thinks of the party and the more center. >> when i hear the idea that pete buttigieg is more in the center, i keep getting emails

from republicans saying hang on, he is pretty liberal. the window has shifted. >> i hear you. >> that's fair enough that when you compare him to bernie, he looks like a republican. i think the biggest warning sign about joe biden is the fact he only has $9 million cash on hand and that was new year's eve a month ago. bernie raised $25 million last month, so in these expensive states, they have close to 20 cash on hand and most of biden's donors have given the legal maximum contributions so can't go back to the well on that. >> sandra: should get his actual peace in here because he makes this point, the bigger the iowa mess, the worse the democratic field looks. the stink won't last but also coming off several weeks of good news. sign the u.s.-mexico canada trade agreement, and also help from his opponents until his party settles on the presidential nominee,

nancy pelosi is the highest profile democrat. and we are about to hear from her at the ackley news conference about 15 minutes from now. >> i think voters in november, i don't think anyone is going to be talking about the iowa debacle. obviously is a terrible start for democrats heading into this long election cycle but i don't think that's going to keep going but to your point with nancy pelosi, i think she is trying to speak for the party and is talking a lot over the past few days. not just talking. >> there is no question, democrats need to wrap this up as soon as possible, a protracted fight is not the way to go and we will see that happen quicker than we think and it comes down to a debate between what the democratic party reserves and has been held off by all these people who are never going to

win anyway. >> ed: maybe we'll finally get the results from iowa. >> imagine that. >> sandra: might as well finish off at the new hampshire democratic primary, here's the latest polling on that. bernie sanders 24.8% and pete buttigieg behind 18.6. final thoughts on that? >> there is a possibility that biden has a late surge here. i wouldn't put it high but new hampshire has a history of rejecting the trends, we saw that with hillary famously in 2008, saw that with mccain. it's my think there's a possibility of that, but biden is to put some muscle and that, and he's not holding any events today. >> sandra: he's taking the day off today. >> he went after pete buttigieg and went after sanders and if he does that, he might do a good job. >> ed: in the meantime, the man behind the biggest ponzi scheme in history wants an early

release from prison. why bernie made off as arguing he should get out of jail free. >> sandra: stay tuned for that at an immigration battle is brewing, why i.c.e. agents are pushing back against rules that stop them from arresting illegal immigrants at courthouses. has dropped by over 31% - that means the dollar is only worth about 68¢ now compared to 2000. had you owned gold, your value would have increased over 400% and owning gold is easy... with rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. gold bullion, lady liberty gold and silver proofs, and our premium coins, can help you preserve your wealth. call rosland capital at 800-630-8900 to receive your free rosland guide to gold, gold & precious metals ira and silver brochures. with rosland, there are no hassles, no gimmicks, and we have the fastest shipping around. dollar down.

her rest since president trump took office. ice says they are necessary because their detainer requests have been ignored in taking someone into custody. his considering it also, and they applaud the resistance. >> we want people to be able to come to court because if you are going to arrest them when they show up to court, than people are not going to do that. that is in place for hundreds of years. >> a federal judge ruled that common law prohibits arrests of people who are at court conducting legal matters with a traffic ticket or being a trial witness bared the department of justice is appealing that ruling and ice is going on the offensive. signed a new rule barring courthouse enforcement without a

warrant. "ice will carry out its mission to protect public safety and enforce immigration law and consider carefully whether to refer those who obstruct her efforts to criminal prosecution." >> there should be no expectation that you're going to be exempt from enforcement against something you have done simply because you have set foot in the courthouse. >> ice does not consider courthouses as sensitive locations like churches, schools, and hospitals where they will not make arrests. now several courts are deciding if courthouses should also be off limits. >> sandra: dan springer in seattle, thank you. >> ed: this fox news alert, ponzi scheme king bernie made off once to be released from federal prison early. a serving 150 euros for swindling investors out of billions but now he has terminal kidney failure and says he has only 18 months to live. let's bring in defense attorney bob bianchi on the story for this this morning.

what is your senses? he is a reviled figure obviously going through a tough time. >> after the first setback which really refines the compassionate release act which they signed into law that if you are suffering from a terminal illness and there is extraordinary compelling reasons for failure of a body oregon which here is a kidney, that you can make an application and recently in new york, 25 years in prison. he was able to demonstrate he had a terminal illness, even arguing it is clear he has this, only 18 months or less to live so he fits clearly within the confines of the law that say you can make this application and the judge did in fact he sat saying he essentially served a life sentence. >> sandra: covered the story from start to finish until he was put into that jail cell

standing outside of his apartment on the upper eastside. looked him in the eyes and this was the man who knew all along what he was doing to people's life savings, not just rich people that were affected by his ponzi scheme but now he is clearly making this case. one of his sons died of cancer and the other son committed suicide. his wife lives up in connecticut. here is what he is saying in his own words. "i am terminally ill, there is no cure for my type of disease. i have served 11 years already. i have suffered through it." his victims are going to say we are still suffering. >> my experience when i let an agency, armed robberies and things of that nature the financial crimes disasters that these people commit in people's lives for the emotional temperature was more than in all those other areas so i can clearly understand how the victims are feeling the way that they do and a lot of times these people don't get the justice they deserve but we have to go

back to what the law says in the law says if he meets that criteria just like in that case, he is entitled to a consideration at least but i'm sure of the victims go out and they scream and yell a lot, that may sway the judges. >> ed: we have a graphic on the ponzi scheme, over 37,000 victims received at least partial compensation. the department of justice has recovered 66.85% of their loss losses. a lot of people lost their life savings a lot of people were not able to call back and they are suffering still. >> that's exactly what their argument here is. their only argument is that the seriousness of this offense is so great that to release him would get a get out of jail free card and the court should consider that when balancing but the compassionate care act is saying with regard to this release. legally, he has a very solid

application here compared to other applications. the question is going to be whether they will take that one fact about how much carnage and damage he did and say he can die in jail. >> sandra: this court may now consider in light of his terminal kidney failure in life expectancy of less than 18 months is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals in our society's value and understanding of compassion. >> that's what he's saying, when you look at the sentencing code, it saying we want to have punishment and deterrence. there has been punishment, years in jail. essentially served a life sentence. nothing by releasing him will say to the public white-collar crimes are okay and they are acceptable. it's a unique situation. he wasn't dying, he would spend all that time in there but he is an under this act, we have to consider whether we are going to release him based on that. >> ed: appreciate your time. >> sandra: one of the most high-profile tech shows of the

year could be derailed because of the coronavirus. how some of the biggest companies are now reacting to that. >> ed: less, a new surveillance video raising questions about you missing kids in idaho. >> i feel like my mom would die for the kids. so to see this and here it and also be questioning why they are not being found, that's where all this comes into battle between what you think and what you feel. garcy young woman: yeah, thanks mom mother: of course and i love these flowers

when i fox news alert on the disappearance of two children from ida, appears to show the mother dumping some of their belongings at a storage facility. >> sandra: has visited the unit.

>> ed: good morning, william. >> this is important for two reasons, things that would be normally with a kid, loathing and back facts and instead of locked in a shed, also one sequence that is going to have you wondering what was in that bag. remember, no one has seen them in four months. the day after police asked where they were, their parents disappeared and refused to produce the kids. in october, rented the storage unit. she and a man believed to be her brother start moving things in and out but watch this one sequence on surveillance video. they enter the building, he looked several times side to side to make sure no one is watching, then remove the bag with a portion of the concealed cargo hanging over his arms. months later, shows up dead lease will not say why. here he is after shooting his first husband who wanted a divorce because she was having an affair.

>> was just yelling at me. >> what was he yelling at you about? >> you told me not to interfere when it came at me with a bat. >> here is the 911 call moments after alex shot him. >> what's the emergency? >> i got into a fight with my brother-in-law and i had to shoot him in self-defense. is a hurting, is he alive? >> there was blood, he's not moving. >> the court ordered them to surrender, they refused and are in contempt but now it's up to the state to file charges, also monday the state could take guardianship giving the more standing bottom line missing kids still missing. when i think you, what a story. >> sandra: the biggest smartphone to show the year is now just three weeks away but

now they were already concerns that coronavirus may ruin the whole thing. here fox news headline, what are we learning? >> this is an interesting twist, just a few weeks after the consumer electronic show which brought people and from all over the world, didn't have the coronavirus or he may have but didn't have it publicly. the mobile world congress happens every year in barcelona, it is where we find out things like 5g, so the first 4g lte phones, smartphones, everything that we hold in our hand now came out of this and this year, we are learning lg has backed out thing they are not going to go and chinese cell phone manufacturers also not going and they are citing coronavirus concerns. the other concern we are starting to see here with smartphones and any piece of technology that is being manufactured in china is that a lot of these cities where the factories are, the workers are being quarantined in their

homes. we may not -- about a week and a half into these quarantines, so we are not quite seeing the market side of it, consumers aren't going and saying you were out of this, we are not there yet but there is definitely a risk that we can be looking at. >> ed: this is something a lot of countries, 25 have been affected already, most of the cases talking about china you can see 28,000 cases, thailand 25 in other countries like russia and italy with two cases but you look at that map, it is all around the world. >> still a lot of concern about it and it is slowly having an effect. we have read over the past week or so that they were rumors apple will be coming out with a foldable iphone. they are just rumors at this point and it's kind of a good thing that they are rumors because that means apple can step back and say we are not going to make any announcements until we know exactly where we

fall in this. >> sandra: it affects manufacturing but it's a flip phone, let's be clear. >> it's going to be magical! to my back with the flip phone. >> everybody loves their phone. motorola is coming back, razor was coming back so we actually don't know and apple obviously refuses to comment on this but they did file a patent for a foldable iphone but we will see if it will open up to be a tablet or if it's going to fold shut to be a clamshell phone that most of us would like. the flip phone is coming back, it's the late 90s all over again. >> ed: thank you. in the meantime, just about an hour away from remarks by the president of the white house, set to speak on his acquittal on both articles of impeachment. as soon as it happens, we will bring it to you live and also get nancy pelosi and a little bit, stay tuned.

>> ed: fox news alert on the impeachment acquittal as we await new reaction, welcome back to "america's newsroom." i am ed henry. >> sandra: should be hearing from the speaker at any moment now. president trump set to address the nation in less than an hour but first, nancy pelosi is expected to speak at her weekly news conference. both bitter rivals were at this morning's national prayer

breakfast where the president blasted the dishonest and corrupt people behind his impeachment. also use that breakfast to praise republicans who had the strength to acquit him. here is the press secretary just a short moment ago. >> people should be held accountable, they should be held accountable for not only what they did to the president into his family and the administration but the country. people need to understand what the democrats did was dishonest and it was corrupt and it had no other motive than to take him out in 2020. people should be held accountable for anything they do to try to hurt this country and its president. >> sandra: live with more from the white house this morning. >> an hour from now, the president will be in the east room of the white house to talk about all of this. his remarks this morning are any indication, what he says an hour from now was going to be scorched earth. the tradition has been at that prayer breakfast to be

apolitical but as he walked in, held up a of "the washington post" and "usa today" with headlines that read acquitted in with house speaker nancy pelosi seated on the dais, he let loose including taking a not so veiled swipe at her and mitt romney. this in here. >> they have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. i don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. nor do i like people who say i pray for you when they know that that's not so. >> the last time a u.s. president appeared before the nation post-senate acquittal was february 12, 1999 when bill clinton arrived in the rose garden and said this. >> i want to say again to the

american people how profoundly sorry i am for what i said and did to trigger these events in the great bird and they have imposed on the congress and on the american people. >> the chances we will hear that in an hour are slim to none and slim just left town for an idea of what he is going to say. an hundred 66 episode of seinfeld from 1997 we learned about festiva's and the airing of grievances when he said i've got a lot of problems with you people, now you're going to hear about it. >> sandra: we will indeed, john roberts thank you. >> ed: john roberts covering a lot of ground this morning. fox news contributor and david novella, chairman, i feel like we should take a deep breath for a moment, try to weigh all of this from 1999 saying after the

acquittal in the senate i am profoundly sorry to now the president letting it rip at the prayer breakfast. >> people on my side of the aisle missed that presidential difficult room, dignity, humility and tone and that is something that a lot of trump supporter's love that donald trump doesn't have it and it's quite the opposite of. i think people forget that in acquittal does not mean innocent, it means not guilty and that's the different. david knows that too but in addition when you look at bill clinton historically, people don't go president bill clinton who was acquitted. they remember him as one of the president that was impeached and so will donald trump historically. >> ed: talking about the dignity of bill clinton and democrats and that it's lacking now, watching the state of the union the other night when nancy pelosi was standing behind this president and ripped up his speech.

>> absolutely, i provided post date of the union analysis here on fox and of course i was watching. when she did that and, i have to say first off, i was like really, no, not a good idea but secondly, although she is house speaker, she is not the president of the united states and her response was that it was a speech of lies and that she ripped that up, she has a responsibility has house speaker not just the democrats, but to the entire house body so although it may not have been in the best taste, you can't even compare it with the list of things that have been inappropriate that have come out of this president's mouth over the past four years. >> let's talk about cause and effect. the president was acquitted yesterday and hours later, china gets rid of $50 billion in

tariffs on u.s. products. they realize the president isn't going anywhere and as the u.k. now was going to be looking for a trade partner post brexit, you have president trump now still in position to deliver jobs for americans, better quality of life for americans, and certainly while season one concludes here on democrat impeachment as they get ready for season two as they've already kind of given some indications wanting some new investigations to occur, we have the president continuing his work towards getting jobs for americans and as we look towards november, americans are going to vote how their interests are being taken care of and in category after category as the president recited in stat after stat during the state of the union, we are a stronger nation.

>> ed: we had mike mccaul on the show earlier it was basically saying it is time today to censure nancy pelosi. you were just talking about all the president's accomplishments and there were many. laid them out in the state of the union with jobs, low unemployment, all of that. does it make sense for your party to come back and say let's spend more time now, you investigate the presidents we are going to investigate hunter biden. we are going to censure nancy pelosi. you want to go down that road? >> what's more important is what legislation gets passed on the president talked about criminal justice reform, a big win for him in a big win for republicans but let me say this, a democratic lighthouse had two democrats voted against impeachment. a republican led senate had one republican vote for conviction. arguably, the democrats are twice as divided as republicans on impeachment. as we move forward particularly

with such a strong state of the union address and you have 82% of independents who like the speech, a strong number of democrats who like the speech and you had 95% of republicans like the speech, this is a president that has been a strong spot right now to push the agenda he laid out in the state of the union. >> ed: makes a fair point about this president who after a series of victories is basically his highest approval of this president. >> it went up 73%, 74% and that's why i've always maintained this was not political because democrats knew speaker pelosi knew that this was a risk politically but they felt it was a constitutional responsibility to do so. i want to say two things to what david just said. you're going to talk about legislation, democrats have passed over 400 pieces of legislation, sitting in what is called the senate graveyard with

a republican majority controls. >> ed: i appreciate it, sorry to interrupt we have a speaker of the house and want to hear from the democrats, he or she has. >> 's statement of the state of the union. what happened instead was the president using the congress of the united states as a backdrop for reality show presenting a state of mind that had no contest with reality whatsoever. was quite appalling to hear the president say that 150 million families in america that are faced with pre-existing medical conditions, a benefit that is afforded to them in the affordable care act that he is protecting that benefit. when in fact, he has done everything to dismantle it. that misrepresentation is

appalling and so clearly untrue. and next, he talked about another issue of concern for working families, the issue with the cost of prescription drugs. as i said before, seen grown men cry across the country because of the constant fact that they cannot afford their prescription drugs and meet other obligations to their family. we had talked about negotiating with lower prices, that's the only way you're going to get lower prices, during the campaign said it was going to be crazy, maybe means not at all and said that before, plus the president's statement had sent stocks soaring it for him to represent as he was working on that. we had been working on it, we were hopeful to get something done. and then talked about saving medicare and social security,

when in fact in his budget that he submitted of $2 trillion decreased in medicare and medicaid combined including in terms of social security to reduce the disability benefit and social security. rights of the kitchen table of america's working families to serve up these falsehoods. what is appalling also was when he was trying to discredit the triumph of the obama administration on the economy and i've given you a paper on this put out by the joint economic committee under leadership of our house vice chair on that and it talks about all the things, job creation and

the rest but to succinctly put it when president obama came into office, the unemployment rate was 10% when he left, it was 5%. so president trump did not inherit a momentum of job creation when president obama came into office, the stock market was at x thousand in. when he left, it was at 18,000. again, momentum. the administration was able to build. during the eight years of president obama's presidency, he reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars. instead, this administration is increasing that and of course with their tax cut, their tax scam with benefits going to the top 1%, the increase the national debt by $2 trillion. and therefore tried to pay for itself but instead they went to

medicare and medicaid to try to pay for that. but we are not doing that and then during the eight years of when president bush was president, job growth was slow under president obama, we came to more than 14 million private sector jobs during his presidency, and that is far more than what this president has created. and then during this presidency, we rescued the auto industry and all that that brought back to the economy. during the administration, more than 20 million people were afforded a quality health care but in addition to that, 150 million families with pre-existing conditions got a

new benefit that enabled them to have access to health care as well as other benefits up until 26 years old can stand the benefit, being a woman no longer pre-existing condition when he talks about going to make health care, the fact is he did not inherit a mess. he inherited momentum of growth in our economy and many more statistics are in what i hope you will read because it was appalling to hear him try to take credit for something and call what president obama did a mess that he inherited when in fact, it was a great advantage to this country, president obama's policies took us to that very positive place of growth and job creation and deficit reduction. and i talked to my members and

they have ideas and always say what is your idea due for growth, for creation of good paying jobs and reducing the deficit? let's see how it meets those standards. with the president has done. so him to make it that he did all of this stuff, he still has an even match for the growth in the stock market if you call that a real measure of success and in some respects, it is a good indicator but is not an indicator of what is happening at the kitchen table for american working families where they are concerned about the fact that many of them have not received a raise in a very long time. 40% of them could not find $500 for an emergency. the president goes on and says it took many more because of the growth, many more people are not on food stamps. you kicked them off. people are not taking advantage of this, no, you kicked them o

off. and that just isn't a fair thing to do in our country. so in my view it was a manifesto of mistruths, of falsehoods blatantly, really dangerous to the well-being of the american people if they believe what he said. so again, do not want the chamber of the house of representatives to be used as a backdrop and by the way, a serious breach to start shouting or more years the floor of the house, totally inappropriate. we are very excited about how we are going forward to honor our promises to the american people, going to lower the cost of health care by lowering cost of prescription drugs and -- maybe just three benefits from it

people should know, that it will lower the cost of prescription drugs for them, it will also increase benefits and medicare, dental, and the vision and the expansion of medicare which is the biggest expansion since its inception of that benefit will apply to not only medicare, but the reduction in cost but for insurance plan. very excited about the hr three. lowering the cost of prescription drugs and protecting pre-existing medical conditions benefit. the infrastructure of america anna resilient way. we thought we were good on both of those scores because we had negotiated with the white house on it until the president decided to go with pharma instead of with the american

people. we thought we were on a good path with negotiating administration and what the infrastructure bill would contain. broadband and the rest, talked about so many plans. he sent over $200 billion plan which he then said it is a bad plan. is and it is too much burden on the locality and then of course, lower health care costs, bigger paychecks, cleaner government. we think we have a shot in the first two but not on the third. that's not something that he or the republicans had as a value. so yesterday, the senate acted first time in history that the senator has voted against his

own president in a decision regarding impeachment. god bless him for his courage. this morning, the president said when people use faith as an excuse to do what he said bad things, whatever he said was so completely inappropriate especially at a prayer breakfast. so again, we will be expanding what we talked about before about our infrastructure bill, expectation, water systems, broadband, urban desert broadband, very important to health education, commerce and the rest for your country and then we will go further with our initiatives on industry, infrastructure for school construction and housing initiatives and initiatives that relate to the needs of our veterans will be unfolding some of that in the week ahead. so we continue to do our work,

bipartisan bills on mitch mcconnell's desk, if he had one i wish you would do a background check legislation which would save lives. so it is an interesting time as we go forward. we will also be taking up in the next week the e.r.a., legislation related to the e.r.a. and a great deal of excitement across the country see what happened in virginia hoping to move the date to include that in that number. especially in this year when we have served the 100th anniversary of women having the right to vote. i know you're going to say, chad. what happened to the 49ers? >> i will ask that. >> when you're thinking of it, think about your own team, okay? [laughter] >> we are going to get the first round draft pick. >> there was always that.

any questions? >> what do you think is the likelihood of being able to work with the president on these things given what appears to be a strange relationship between you? >> we have had a strange relationship for a while and we were able to keep government open and push back on his threats to shut down government if we didn't do this and we didn't do that and it's i'm proud of the bipartisan work of our appropriators left to their own devices, they can really work things out and we did and we pushed back on any threats of shut down so we work to on that, we have worked together on the u.s.-mexico canada agreement that he bragged about deliveri delivering, it is so far different from whatever he sent us to begin with but it does have what i said many times, it does have a framework of enforcement for protection of our workers, protection of our

environment and getting rid of his gift to pharma. sending gifts to pharma and that trade agreement, just another example of his beholden this to the pharmaceutical industry. so we've got two major things accomplished. these are things the president said he wanted to do. reduced cost of prescription drugs and build an infrastructure, especially infrastructure, hardly ever had a conversation where he wasn't talking about infrastructure. i think he really wants that, i think he knows our country needs that and we were almost there and then he was out the door. certainly hasn't changed in terms of us. people said to me why would you give him the victory on the trade agreement? as it is not a victory for him not to do that for the benefit provided by our government and

our manufacturers, our workers in our country. our hemisphere, it would be wrong. he just wasn't that important that we would walk away from what they were conceding to less but they were conceding to lessen that legislation. we couldn't go that past but we did. did we get everything? know, it was a negotiation but it was a path to a better trade agreement. >> the white house communication director has indicated the president may want to have some payback for the impeachment and with the senate did here. when you hear that sort of language and as we speak the u.s. capitol police are investigating a suspicious substance in the office of congressman schiff. but when you hear that rhetoric from the white house and these types of environments, what does

that make you think? >> let me just say that language -- first of all, it was beneath the dignity of the white house and an insult to the congress of united states and american people. so their language is nothing that surprises anyone, but they had to know when the white house speaks, those words weigh a ton. and encourage people to do things. just remember charlottesville, people were coming down that hill, it will not replace us and what was the president's statement? the president great people on both sides? so it is mysterious view of the weight their words carry and there are people out there who for whatever purpose -- i know i

constantly, i can't worry about that. but that was there even before them, president obama stirring up those same people. but i would like to think it has nothing to do with what the white house is saying, but i do think they should rein in their comments because what they're saying is going to be paid back to us for upholding the constitution of the united states for honoring the vision of our founders were a democracy, a republic that we can keep, something our men and women in uniform fight to protect our freedom in our constitution and aspirations of our children that depend on living in a democracy that is unquestioned in terms of that. we have freedom of the press to be guarding that democracy. i am not very fond of commenting on it but if it's threatening, it is wrong.

>> what is your position on that and when did this happen? >> i want to first salute her managers, i think they did a magnificent job in presenting the case for our founders for our constitution for a country. could not have been better served, each and every one of them did a magnificent job and adam schiff's leadership was a blessing to our country. i am proud of the work that the senate did in terms of their response to all of this and their unanimous vote on the house democrats for the constitution. the senate has spoken in terms of punishment, each to matter what the headlines want to carry around, impeach forever.

getting rid of that scar, history will always record that you are impeached for undermining the security jeopardizing the integrity of the election in the united states. the purpose in all of this in addition to holding him accountable and no future president thinks that she or he could have liberty to take us away from a republic if you can keep it to the second amendment, that is not what our constitution is about. so we will continue to do our oversight to protect and defend the constitution which is three coequal branches of the government, checks and balances on the other in some cases in court and that will take time. we don't need to have that come through fruition, having a strong enough case through

impeachment but those cases still exist. there were others that we say is an opportunity they can make a judgment at that time but we have no plans right now. we met the president said impeachment was a terrible ordeal put through by corrupt dishonesty and also his suggestion that you don't actually pray for him. >> i don't know the president understands about prayer or people who pray but we do pray for the united states of america, i pray for him, i pay for president bush still and president obama because of the heavy responsibility. he is so off the track of our constitution and our values, our country, they allow children grieve on the water they drink on the rest. he really needs our prayers so he can say whatever he wants.

i do pray for him than i do so sincerely and without english. gently, i pray for everybody else. i thought what he said about some of was particularly without class. when he said some people use faith as an excuse to do the wrong thing, remember what he said, got that there? it's so inappropriate at a prayer breakfast. he went to go to the prayer breakfast, all of those things, it's a prayer breakfast and that is something about faith. may not be something i agree with but to go into the stock market and raising up his acquittal and mischaracterizing other people's motivation, he is talking about things that he knows he is all about.

faith in prayer. >> i toe up a manifesto of mistruths. it's very hard for us to get you to talk about the issues that we are working on, hr three, infrastructure, he misrepresented all of that, which was necessary to get the attention of the american people to say this is not true and this is how it affects you. and i don't need any lessons from anybody, especially the president of the united states about dignity. is it okay to start saying four more years in the house of representatives? it is unheard of. it is unheard of for the president to insult people there who don't share his view as well as to misrepresent falsehoods,

some would use the word life, i don't like to use the word life, about what he was saying. so no, i think is completely entirely appropriate and considering some of the other exuberance is within it would be the courteous thing to do. >> to invite him back for a state of the union giving what you're describing. >> that is an absolute imperative for our country, for our constitution, for the land that we love from sea to shining sea which he degrades almost every day, for who we are as a people in this you are blessed to be born a native american, a nation of immigrants who he denigrates and our values which he just is disloyal to the constitution, degrades the environment, denigrates who we are as a people and undervalues

who we are, as a great country that is a good country where people care about each other and there is community. is appalling the things that he said and then you say to me tearing up his falsehoods, isn't that the wrong message? no, it isn't. i have tried to be gracious with him. i am always dignified. i thought that was a very dignified act but we will not allow any president is that capital, that chamber of the house of representatives that the people have as a backdrop for him. all presidents have guests. a constant guests. that was not a state of the union. that was his state of mind. in the state of the union we are we going and the rest. let me just show you how many guests i can draw off and let me

say how i can give a medal of honor, do it in your own office. we don't come in your office into congressional business. why are you doing that here? quite frankly, when he started talking about someone with stage iv cancer and all of that, i don't know which stage john lewis' cancers in but when he starts talking about someone with cancer, we thought he was going to talk about john lewis. a hero in our country. so in any event, i feel very liberated. i feel very liberated. i feel that i have extended every possible courtesy. i have shown every level of respect, i say to my members all the time there is no such thing as in internal animosity. you never know what because you may come together with somebody who may be perceived as your foe right now. everybody is a possible ally and

whatever comes next. don't know how many would be or how different it would be but they want us always to remember that we are one and our founders had their differences as to be. so again, i extend the hand of friendship to him to welcome him as the president of the united states and to the people's house, it's also an act of kindness because he looked to me like he was a little sedated. he looked that way last year too but he didn't want to shake hands, that meant nothing to me. that had nothing to do with my event, that came much later. and a speed reader, i went right through that thing so i knew what was coming when i saw the compilation of falsehoods but then heard the first quarter or third and i started to think there has to be something that clearly indicates the american people that this is not the

truth. and he has shredded the truth in his speech, shredding the constitution in his conduct. i shredded the state of his mind address. thank you all very much. to my we will see if she answers any more questions, delivering her weekly news conference talking about the president's state of the union address, she called a manifesto of mistruths. she referenced what she called blatant falsehood. she talked about the chance of four more years in the chambers, she said that was a serious breach to start shouting on the floor. she said the president use that state of the union as a backdrop where reality show. she basically went on to list which he called mistruths and seem to fact-check the president state of the union address taking on his talk on the economy and the stock market saying that he did not inherit a mess, he inherited momentum. >> ed: defending tearing up the president's speech saying

she was tearing up falsehoods, has called a manifesto of mistruths and that it wasn't even the state of the union, it was the state of the president's mind but in the next breath was saying that she has always been dignified, she has shown every form of respect she claims to the president, went on to also say that the congress was used as a backdrop for a reality show when pressed by chad pergram about our interview we held a little while ago with stephanie grisham where she suggested there may be payback for those who led this impeachment effort, actually brought up charlottesville and the racial tensions and said it is time to tone down the rhetoric. >> sandra: stephanie grisham was tweeting in real time during the speaker of the houses weekly news conference and we had her on the program an hour ago. she wrote this, "it is bad enough the nancy pelosi tore up a speech that honored american heroes, she is now comparing remarks about our great nation and its many success stories to

a reality tv show? the dems really don't know when to stop it it is sad." she talked about the president's relationship, she was asked by one of the reporters in the room are they going to be able to work together in a bipartisan way to get anything done after all of this, she talked about their strained relationship, she referenced working together on usmca, so we will see what that holds. on the romney boat, she said god bless him for his courage. >> ed: also talked about the national prayer breakfast, took some shots at nancy pelosi, that's where the back-and-forth began this morning. also went after mitt romney not by name but said he doesn't like people who use religion to try to back up doing the wrong thing in terms of his conviction. interesting, we shouldn't forget this. you can debate the appropriateness or inappropriateness of politics at the prayer breakfast and she said clearly she felt it was

inappropriate to talk about the stock market, his approval ratings, the attacks that she went on to say this, talking about things he knows little about, faith and prayer. so the speaker of the house saying she has shown every respect towards the president and that she has been dignified and then questioning his faith and his commitment to prayer, that was something to watch. >> sandra: in reference to the tearing up of this piece, she was pressed again on that later in the news conference to which he called it a dignified act. on the shaking of the hands, that moment grabbed a lot of headlines, whether or not intentionally him not shaking her hand doesn't matter to her one bit. >> ed: we mentioned chad pergram, a lot to unpack. we will give you a chance to do that but big picture here, we went into the state of the union

with reports about how the president and the speaker had not spoken since october. has been months since they spoke and then we have a day here in the span of a few hours by the president goes after her and she fires back. where are we in this relationship? >> the speaker was asked whether or not she thought she could work with the president on future issues and she said that will be up to him. she noted that they obviously work together to avoid a government shutdown in the fall, the government was funded through this coming fall. they worked together on getting usmca passed, a very different agreement that was submitted to capitol hill, have really altered that fundamentally. you look at other issues, prescription drugs, there was a moment in the state of the union speech for a lot of the democratic women wearing white jumped up and started shaking their hands saying we want you to pass hr three, the bill for prescription drugs and then also the issue of infrastructure and

said she had never had a conversation with the president where he did not talk about infrastructure. she said i think you might be willing to work with us on that. again, you look at some of these issues, politics sometimes makes strange bedfellows and this might be where we are on the day after impeachment. granted this will resonate throughout the year and throughout the election but once you get further down the train track, sometimes things start to calm down. i will know when you talk about infrastructure, that was one of the most notorious meetings at the speaker of the house and the democratic leaders had with the president last may with a talk for 5 minutes, the president came in and the meeting was done in 5 minutes. that was a meeting on infrastructure. so whether they can work together remains to be seen but we have seen a lot of pretty intense moments on capitol hill where you've had republicans, democrats and they have come

together but we are dealing with a different intensity right now and i thought the other thing that was notable within the speaker's remarks and i asked her about some of the comments that there may be in fact payback. what that means for democrats, specifically the house impeachment managers as we speak right now when i mention this to the speaker, the u.s. capitol police are investigating a suspicious substance in the office of adam schiff, the lead impeachment manager. he has gotten a capitol police detail for months leading up to impeachment and also all of the impeachment managers had a detail during that time. we don't know how serious this is but they are still investigating and have doing so for an hour and a half right now, but pelosi indicated when people make these comments, she said their words away a ton. she said i am not fond of commenting on things that the administration says that when they say something inappropriate, they need to be called out. so that's going to be a dynamic

to watch. how far do republicans had members of the administration push for "payback against democrats for going down this impeachment path but if things calm down after a period of ti time? >> sandra: and her description off the top of that news conference, she took on the words of the president's state of the union address i described it like this. >> i tore up a manifesto of mistruths. is very hard to talk about the issues that we are working on, hr three, infrastructure and the rest. he misrepresented all of that. it was necessary to get the attention of the american people to say this is not true. >> sandra: as i mentioned, she then went on to detail how she saw those mistruths referencing the economy, the stock market, and other things. >> she talked about the fact that obama's economy was a

bigger percentage change, that he kind of picked up where obama's economy had been. something i thought that was key, she talked about and a lot of people have read into this rebuke, not shaking her hand, she said that didn't really matter to her. but she read the speech and she went through this, she said she was reading ahead, she describes herself as a speed reader, terms use of the press conference, that's what got her upset, it wasn't the handshake, it was the policy difference and i also called out the fact the president was constantly turning to the gallery and recognizing people who he had divided, rush limbaugh, giving him the presidential medal of freedom, i don't mind that they do that on your own time. we don't come into your office and do those things. she called at republicans for chanting four more years, she said that was a breach of decorum and she called this not a state of the union but this was president trump's state of

mind, her words. >> sandra: chad pergram on capitol hill for us. when i'm taking a look at the investigations that may be moving forward, a legal expert will be on the moment after this break talking about jerry nadler saying there is a subpoena coming for john bolton. verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. newday has extended our call center hours so that every veteran in america can take advantage of this unexpected drop in interest rates. one call can save you $2000 every year. to start saving on your next mortgage payment go to

>> just to put a finer point on it, you said it's likely that they will subpoena john bolton, that's what you're saying? has the speaker signed off on it? >> ed: you can see their jerry nadler, one of the democratic impeachment managers leaving the door wide open for the potential for subpoenaing the john bolton now. for more on this, former attorney and law professor at the university of california at berkeley, good to have you this morning. it is something the president has predicted for a long time saying that is never going to

end even if he's acquitted and now he thought it was perhaps turning the page, democrats leaving the door open to the investigation to continue. >> under the constitution, the democrats are entitled to do that. they don't have to stop oversight hearings. they can still pursue trying to figure out what happened in ukraine as part of their right to see the people's money is spent. the constitution even doesn't prohibit you from renewing and bringing a second set of impeachment charges including putting the country through this all again great it would be a mistake because it's going to remind people again of how bad a job the house did in conducting this investigation, how rushed and truncated and unfair and had been. >> ed: what do you think we are in this? in a few moments we will go live to the president, he started the morning off at the national prayer breakfast, didn't hold back going after his democratic critics, speaker of the house fired back a moment ago as you

just heard live here among other things, said that she had reached a hand out and friendship to the president at the beginning of the state of the union but accused him that he looked sedated to her, something getting a lot of attention, a lot of eyebrows being raised. this back-and-forth is getting pretty nasty. >> i don't blame the president for being angry and bitter and i don't blame speaker pelosi for being the same. the president has every right to be because the house of representatives and 47 senators just voted to say he is unworthy to sit in the office of the presidency. would be amazing if they just turned right around and started cooperating and working together again and our constitution does set up a system with the president and congress can continue to fight, should continue to fight and that the people decide which side they like better in the november elections. >> ed: we certainly appreciate your insight this morning, thanks for coming in. >> sandra: we are awaiting remarks from the president at the white house that should be

happening and moments from now, reaction to his acquittal in the senate on two articles of impeachment from yesterday afternoon. as soon as this happens, we will go to the president live, stay with us. is that net carbs or total?... eh, not enough fiber- chocolate would be good- snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna gives you the sweetness you crave while helping you manage your blood sugar. glucerna. everyday progress

>> sandra: we are awaiting the president. he is expected to speak after his acquittal yesterday. he is expected to speak at noon eastern time, just moments from now, ahead of that joining us is a fellow at the american enterprise institute. marc thiessen. a sewing with the state of the union. after was over, you said that was one of the best state of the union address as you had ever heard del maxine delivered or heard you have written an op-ed, "democrats threw everything they had at trump, he is still standing." your thoughts as we wait the president?

>> nancy pelosi looks very bitter. i understand why she's bitter. not only has the impeachment drive failed, it's backfired on the democrats. it has made donald trump stronger going into 2020 than he had been if impeachment had never happened. look at, for example, the polls. his approval rating is the highest of his presidency today. when the patient begin, his approval rating was 39%. during the course of the last couple months, it has risen out to 49%. the personal best, a ten-point increase, as they made the case against the president for impeachment. the number of americans who said he should be removed from office was 46% at the start of the process. now it's 50%. not only have they not convince the american people they should be removed from office, they've convinced a lot of people he should get a second turf. a lot of american saying he should get a second term was 41%, today it's 51%. they did everything possible.

if donald trump -- i understand trump doesn't like being impeached, but it's the best thing that ever happened to him and turns of his political standing with the american people. >> sandra: we will see what he is about to say in his own words. marc thiessen, we appreciate it. thank you. president speaking and just moments. we will carry that live from the white house. we'll be right back. and save thousands a year. i urge you to call newday usa now. about being a scientist at 3m. i wanted them to know that innovation is not just about that one 'a-ha' moment. science is a process. it takes time, dedication. it's a journey. we're constantly asking ourselves, 'how can we do things better and better?' what we make has to work. we strive to protect you. at 3m, we're in pursuit of solutions that make people's lives better.

>> we need you on set right now. >> this is the fox nation brain room. >> fox nation is the new entertainment service from the good folks over at fox news. start your free trial today. >> sandra: we will hear from the president and just a moment. ed? >> ed: he starts the morning at a prayer breakfast going after dishonest and corrupt people, he said, who went after

his family, went after him. we thought maybe he would be a little bit, you know... restrained there. and that he'd really let it out here. but he let it out this morning. it'll be interesting what he says now. >> sandra: the press secretary said he'll be speaking with humility, with honesty. so we will hear from the president and just a moment. stay tuned. "outnumbered" starts right now. >> melissa: fox news alert, we are awaiting president trump, set to adjust the nation after his son impeachment acquittal yesterday on mostly party line vote. the lone g.o.p. defector was senator mitt romney, drained democrats to vote to convict on abuse of power charge. but voting with republicans to acquit the president on obstruction of congress. the white house saying the impeachment ended in "full vindication and exoneration," but suggesting the president is far from ready to move on. >> he and the family went through a lot. he and this country went through a lot. he's glad it's over. he will certainly talk about that
