"in filing an ethics complaint against speaker pelosi for destroying the president's state the union speech. her conduct was beneath the dignity of the house and a potential violation of law. nobody is above the law. she must be held accountable." meanwhile, the president has some choice words for the speaker. just a few minutes ago you saw it live here on fox. >> they are vicious and mean. vicious. these people are vicious. a

american people. >> the gloves also came off in the house speaker's comments earlier today. she called the president's state of the union a manifesto of mistruths. she said he looked sedated. to you believe she's stooping down to his level? >> no, i believe she was more restrained than i probably would have been considering how much she he has insulted here her. he's gone right at her faith. she's just one of the most prayerful, faithful persons that is her rock. and her north star. so i think she's showing a lot of restraint. she's tlog work with him on a lot of issues he talked about if he's sincere about infrastructure and prescription drugs. extend those deals and we will sign them. we're ready. >> impeachment is now over. but the house judiciary committee chairman says you guys will likely subpoena john bolton. why didn't you subpoena him in the impeachment was in your hands? >> it was the senate's job. they should have subpoenaed him. they didn't. we sought to subpoena him during the house inquiry and we were told we houwould have to see hin court. the reason we may have an interest in bringing him back is thot to relitigate

' eric holder said of conservatives when they go low, we kick them. the natural extension of this kind of rhetoric from the top is actual violence, mob-like behavior, and we have seen antifa rioters beating conservatives up with crowbars. every time a right of center speaker comes to a college campus, students riot and destroy property. there is a culture of violence exploding on the left. trish: is it getting worse? i feel like it is. i think i see video like i just saw. is it going to get ratcheted up? >>

manifesto of miss truth. it is very hard for us to get you to talk about the issues we are working on. attentionto get the of the americaneople to say, this is not true. this is how it affects you. >> they are vicious and mean. these people are vicious. nancy pelosi is a horrible person. she wanted to impeach a long time ago. she said, i pray for the president. she may pray, but she prays for the opposite. i doubt she prays at all. susan: the morning after the state of the union, the image of the speaker at the end of the speech tearing the president's speech apart. i am wondering, in history, the animosity between these two leaders. has there anything -- has there been anything like this? professor green: we have come a long way from sam rayburn and dwight eisenhower. this idea you work together even if you are in separate institutions. the idea the speaker should be deferential to the president. that is not what we are seeing now. there is a way in which that is a sign of healthy, vigorous partisan differences. if you disagree, you should not be afraid to say so. this is what troubles me and i have written about theirs

manifesto of mistruths. >> the president began his address touting his triumphs and a strong economy. >> to those watching at home tonight, i want you to know we will never let socialism destroy american health care. >> the president did not mention the word impeachment during his address. instead he just ignored it altogether. >>> we're getting reaction to president trump's state of the union address. in the bay area, no surprise, a lot of negative reaction. governor newsom tweeting i believe with all my heart that america stands ready to reject the dark, discriminatory dangerous policies of donald trump, and to do it by record margins. let's show up. let's vote. senator kamala harris tweeting in part we heard a lot of words from him tonight but his actions make it clear his complete disregard for our most fundamental values including the rule of law. and eric swalwell saying, well, that was mostly appalling and ending with that hashtag. >>> happening today, the trial for the man accused of stabbing and killing 18-year-old nia wilson will get under way in alameda county. john lee cowell stabbed wilson on the platform of macarthur b.a.r.t. station in july of 2018. her sister was stabb

so in my view it was a manifesto of mistruths, of falsehoods blatantly, really dangerous to the well-being of the americany 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 be

the manifesto presented in page after page of the address last night should be a call to action for coverage who expects truth from the president and policies worthy of his office and the americaneople. the american people deserve the president to have integrity and respect for the aspirations from their children. the statement goes on from there. nancy pelosi's office tweeting out about the handshake moment, the convict of the offered hand and democrats will never stop exchanging their hand of friend championship for the people and e'll find conground where we can and where we cannot. plenty of reaction to both of those events. i want to show you a few member reactions talking about steve scalise, the whip of the house, the congressman saying it is a new low for pelosi ripping up the speech on national tv. the speech was about american heroes and american workers. she decided that was worth literally tearing apart. absolutely disgraceful. and then this tweet from the house after the speech at around 10:45 p.m. eastern, the white house saying speaker pelosi ripped up one of our last surviving tuskegee airmen, the survival of a child born at 21 weeks, the former families of rock
