of course, eric trump is back with us. i'm watching this.merican people, 288 days, they are going to make the ultimate decision here. i've watched every promise your father has made in the campaign that he has kept. we see record low unemployment records. they can't even praise him for killing a terrorist, soleimani. would you think the political impact is? this is not your second rodeo. >> we have nine months to go. but you have to remember, my father had been in office for exactly three seconds, sean. you know, the irony of this whole thing is maxine waters has been in government for 30 years. she's had 15 terms in the house. think about that, right? nancy pelosi, for 33 years. she is down 16 terms. i could go on and on. yet, the problems of this country were created by my father. she wants to impeach them. my father is not one of them. he's not a swamp creature. my father has been independently successful. he doesn't need this job. that is why they can't stand him. quite frankly, he's getting results that they could never get. they detest

here to respond, eric trump, executive vice president of the trump organization. eric, biden has a gun a foreign policy decision of right and my calculation, i, thinking about for two decades. now he is lecturing your father? >> iran thought they could get away with murder like they did the last eight years under he and obama. these were the two individuals that gave iran $150 billion, including planes full of cash. pallets worth of cash that they threw over there to try to appease this country. the country hasn't dealt with strength in a very long time, until my father came along. how many more oil tankers need to be captured? how many more drones need to be shot out of the sky? how many more u.s. embassies have to have molotov cocktails thrown over their walls? i could go on and on but somebody finally has to punch back and my father did that very effectively. he did it with a man who has killed hundreds and hundreds of americans and i'm proud of him doing that. make no mistake, my father is a very calculating person. he's very, very measured. this will be intere

( laughter ) and as soon-- ( applause ) as soon as he got the warning, trump descended several flights of stairs to the situation room. wow. that does not sound like trump. what on earth could have motivated him to shamble down several flights of stairs to the situation room? and there were sandwiches piled on a sideboard in the room.

when you look at what happened to republicans and the house, they were in very red districts where eric trumpular and they were freshman and they still aren't. they're freshmen democrats and they still voted to impeach. that may go along more party lines on the right and left, regardless of people saying, look at susan collins. >> not a single republican voted on that impeachment and several democrats did side with republicans. that's another reason there is focus on the republicans. >> bret: we shall see. there is more tea tomorrow. next up, the latest on the democratic presidential race. ♪ so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa can you help keep these iguys protected online?? easy, connect to the xfi gateway. what about internet speeds that keep up with my gaming? let's hook you up

eric trump's close personal assistant for almost all of his life and all the other women on the bus. when i finish i wanted to get a picture of the trump women on the bus. six women on the bus, five of them are african-american. the only white person is laura trump. you never heard about it, it was never in the news. the only one that got any fame switched.a, who they recognize it, they see it. the president has great pride in those numbers because he feels he has been able to accomplish what humphrey wanted to do, what lbj wanted to do. 6 million people have gone off of food stamps. lbj gave them food stamps and subsidized housing. the police would go around and look to see if there is a man in apartment.if there was they could lose welfare because they were claiming to be a single mom. the father had to be chased out, someone from the welfare department will be here today. you have a whole generation of young people raised without a dad. you have an increase in crime, which was natural. trump is very proud of what happened, and it doesn't matter to him if he doesn't get credit for.

of politicians leveraged their parent's last name because if that were the case, we'd be calling eric trump and donald junior and a whole host of other trumps who do that very same thing. and i don't think that's what senate republicans want, and frankly i don't think it's relevant to the ultimate question of guilt or innocence of president trump. >> ashley, as no one needs to remind you, so much of this is through the looking glass. you had lindsey graham, former champion of ukraine and a guy who very much looked up to a guy like bolton. lindsey graham, rand paul today were floating out the notion that bolton wants to get rich, that that's bolton's real motivation. do you think that look, do you think that kind of talk is going to really stick? >> well, i will point out it's not just from lindsey graham and rand paul. you had the republican national committee the other day sending out talking points, slamming john bolton, who while people have criticized him as out for himself and a wily infighter, has been a lifelong republican who i believe has served in every single republican administr

eric: president trump sat down with an exclusive interview with laura ingram.ecision to take out the rating general qassem soleimani. new details of the imminent threat that prompted the u.s. to take action. to kill the notorious terrorist who have american blood on his hands. they are live at the white house with the very latest. president trump is defending his decision to order the killing of that i rating general even as some lawmakers are trying to limit the presidents options when it comes to military use with iran. laura had a chance to sit down for a one-on-one interview with the president. she asked about the decision to kill qassem soleimani in what may have been in the works that lead to the president's decision to strike. >> baghdad would have been the lead. it could've been the military bases were a lot of other things. it was imminent and that all of the sudden he was gone. >> the house approved the resolution to limit it. that resolution passed a party lines. now two senators mike lee, they want to pass the no war against iran act. we have a stat

. >> eric trump was on laura ingram's show last night, asked about this, biden's problems, is he fatally he was in the senate for longer than i was alive, yet he blames all of america's problems on my father. he gave iran $150 billion, they end up building missiles they shot at one of our air bases, here's a guy who has a son who profited off of the presidency of the united states or the vice presidency of the united states, took $1.5 billion from china a couple days ago, abc reported that his brother was doing the same thing when it came to charter schools in florida, this guy has a lot of problems. aside from the fact that he lacks charisma. >> that too. i tell you, i know we talked a lot about it. with iowa coming, i'm fascinated by how the caucus growers, how they vote, with 45% undecided. if you don't get 15%, you have to vote for the second choice. where does this scattered democrat party come out of the ashes of iowa. i don't think anybody knows. >> if you look at -- any of us lack charisma next to donald trump. but i would say he just has that kind of personality. among the field

all these things are the very challenge that the trump administration had to correct. eric: finally, how do you think this will play out, jim. >> wow. that took a lot of chutzpah. they broke the agreement. the trump administration went in and trashed the agreement. everything we sinced experienced, downing of drones, attack on air ramco in saudi arabia, attack on bases, now this back and forth. none of that happened when we had the nuclear agreement. none of that happened. when president trump got out of the nuclear agreement he promised that iran would behave peacefully. they could -- eric: jim. eric: iran has been attacking did. >> that is opposite. eric: iran has been attacking the west. israel, the bombing of the -- argentina. on and on. >> none that happened during the iran deal. talk about what iran deal between 2015 and time that mr. trump broke the iran deal. they did none of this. none of it. they broke it and said, we'll force them to do our will. we'll make them submit and all will be peaceful and exact opposite has happened. now the u.s. is in the business and t

eric: that is fox presidents news with president trump last night.y are kicking off their arguments. it's after a three day with the house and teach meant managers. the democratic senators are demanding more from witnesses, while former republicans bolts and approve witnesses, he is the real clear politics national politics. phil good to see you then. just a few minutes ago he said they would not be witnesses. but what is the headcount look like? is there bolton, or hunter biden or mick mulvaney possibly called next week? >> we've heard a lot of ongoing speculation whether or not the democrats are joe one to one trade, maybe bolton for biden. when heard a lot of theories so far, but at the end of the day that basic senate arithmetic remains. republicans control the chamber and so far mcconnell has been master of the senate. he has maintained his caucus, gotten everyone on the same line, i think senator was correct a moment ago and it seems unlikely that at this point the white house, or senate republicans would want witnesses. because so far, the pre
