steve: thank you, griff.rian: some of the latest polls show mayor pete anything at the heels of elizabetofbernie sanders. ainsley: the president was basically exxonner rate of you had. the impeachment hearing is over. the approval rating better than it's ever been. the democrats couldn't figure out iowa. it was the joke of the weekend if you watched "saturday night live" and some of the sunday shows we will get to you in a moment the oscars and how they joked about it. jen psaki said the democrats should really be worried. watch this. >> looking back at this week, you know, the iowa democratic party got a lot of attention for a good reason for the disaster that was. president trump is at 49% as you said. watching the state of the union, i also was struck by the fact that he was trying to tell a story about his appeal to african-americans across the country. i may sit here and think that's laughable but people watching may have bought that. he is a good producer. a good producer of visuals. and he also is now

brian: griff, do you know what their slogan is?think they need a new slogan because no one knew how to use it. steve: all right. griff, thank you very much. a smart phone app. that's not too smart. let's bring in jason chaffetz. former fox news contributor and former chairman of the house oversight committee. he has a very long business card. earlier, jason, i said we may not know who won, but we do know who lost so far. the iowa democrats are losing big because it's like -- it's giving the republicans an opportunity to say if they can't even run a little caucus in a little state, the state of my birth, how can they run the government? >> no. this is playing right into the democratic -- the way the democrats are doing this plays right into republican hands, exactly. how could they -- they can't even run their own party let alone the country. that will be the narrative moving forward. i feel bad for the people of iowa that spent millions of dollars and untold i -- they worked hard, they volunteered. i feel bad for those people. the

griff: are you going to vote for biden. >> for bernie. griff: for bernie, why?s agenda. he has been fighting for women's rights since he started in the senate. definitely for bernie. griff: how are you going to vote. >> i'm in a pickle. i like biden, i like yang. do i like mayor pete as well. griff: dr. biden i have a possible vote here. you have got to convince her. griff: a woman was walking to work passed me here. i asked her who are you voting for she said warren. really going to be interesting. seven candidates taking to the debate stage tonight, brian, ainsley, and steve. steve: griff, thank you very much. i was reading in the des moines register, the problem with all the app. in iowa. there are a number of iowa officials who think that what happened was the dnc told iowa to install a security patch on the app. 48 hours before. and their app. and the security patch didn't work right and that's what screwed everything he up. and then when people got on the phone, there were hundreds of other people who were pranking them because it's like yes, i have got th

griff is talking to a few of them. good morning, griff. griff: good morning, pete, dean and jed.re in charleston, what you are looking at. here is how this works. you have the voters showing up here. they check. in and then they got a ballot and then they will take the parking lot over to these voting machines over here. and it's very blank ballot. and they put their paper ballot. in they choose the things that make their elections and then they take that ballot, which then has the official choice and then they feed it in that machine and then it is electronically recorded. and that is why it runs really pretty smoothly here in south carolina. and we expect that at the end of the day, the vote countings won't be very difficult to get. but, it is all about whether or not joe biden, who stakes so much of his claim here will win or whether a surging bernie sanders may do well. i talked to one voter, 26-year-old gentleman who didn't want to go on camera. he said he voted for sanders because he thought he would be best to take on trump and could fight back the best. however, joe biden

griff: well, we'll see.t area who knows only time will tell. meanwhile you asked me brian whether or not i was following president trump or president trump was following me. it turns out president trump is following democrats. it is a rally in three days, but he did this in iowa, new hampshire, and nevada and now same thing next week in south carolina. we can't go in because of secret service has to complete their sweep but several hundred supporters now have come in, and started lining up outside vegas. you've seen them come all night they got a jumbotron the president will take the stage at high noon but some of the supporters were crossing the street a was able to grab a few and say do you think any of these candidates can take on president trump and defeat them especially that billionaire, mike bloomberg. here is what they had to say. >> i think they spent a lot of money for nothing. griff: you don't think he can go head-to-head with donald trump? >> he can try but i think no one can out debate donald tr

rob: griff jenkins live in des moines where a tight race appears to be shaping for later tonight, heyiff. >> good morning, that's right, first in the nation, up to iowa voters, they will gather at 7:00 p.m. central in 1,680 pri sinks, first they will stand in quarter of room for preferred candidate, if that candidate doesn't reach 15% threshold they will have to make a second choice, they'll be the first expression, the final expression and the state delegate equivalency, the last one traditionally determined the winner, new calculation by the way may open the door for multiple candidates to claim some sort of victory but one thing is very clear and that is this is wide open, unpredictable, the winner is uncertain, of course, biden and sanders have been neck and neck on top of the most recent polls but pete buttigieg and warren have really had a lot of energy. we talk today warren supporters, here is what they said. >> i'm supporting elizabeth warren because of plans on justice reform. >> i love energy, she's the most organized candidate i've ever seen. >> i'm caucusing for tom steyer

thank you so much, griff.ing night at the 92nd annual academy awards to tell you about, the show going hostless for a second year in a row. >> we both have hosted the oscars, they don't really have hosts anymore, why is that? twitter.

[cheers and applause] >> and the biggest winner parasite, the south korean hit is the first foreign film to ever win best picture. yeah, joaquÍn phoenix speech went a lot of different areas, so you have to

emily: good morning, griff. griff: good morning, emily, jason, and pete.e arranged the bells by the way to ring right when i started talking to you. listen, we sought gloves come off last night. we have been waiting for all these debates to see it. we finally got it. although, the person they were attacking was a bit of a surprise. it is that surging mayor pete buttigieg. watch some of the lesser tier candidates go after him. >> it is easy to go after washington because that's a popular thing to do. it is much harder to lead. and much harder to take those difficult positions. we have a newcomer in the white house and look where it got us. >> moving this country beyond where it is now in significant ways. one of the ways to do that is to make sure you have someone who knows how to get things done and can lead the free world at the same time. >> you have to have experience to take him down. this is not a question of he's a nice guy who is going to listen. we need people with experience. that's why i'm worried about mayor pete. griff: it wasn't just pile on p

ainsley: griff jenkins live in south carolina with more, hey, griff.n the background behind biden is perhaps south carolina influential james clyburn endorsing biden yesterday. biden taking aim at sanders, you are talk about pelosi being okay with socialism, well, biden is not, listen. >> i was asked to come in to campaign, alabama to montana. did anybody ask bernie to come in? doesn't mean he's a bad guy, holding onto united states congress and united states senate. griff: up the road on the grand stand in myrtle beach bernie sanders holding a rally there and mayor was absolutely backing sanders, sanders supporters say he's pretty much unstoppable, watch. >> how does it feel to be a bunch of radicals? revolutionaries? [cheers and applause] griff: can anyone stop bernie at this point? >> i hope not. >> more momentum from bloomberg, that could be competition from bernie but right now i see bernie as a front runner. >> i wouldn't say unstoppable but it'll be difficult. >> trying to stop the sun from rising in the morning. >> tough road for bernie to clim

griff what's the latest? griff: george, jason, lisa, and pete.e state. officials scrambling to not repeat the disaster that iowa was, they've already scrapped the app. they gave in favor for that for this google application which they partially scrapped. they will still use it for raw totals but when it comes to getting each precincts results to headquarters they go with the good old telephone and we'll see how that goes meanwhile candidates making their final push in closing arguments, to have their best fit to take on donald trump. listen. >> when we stand up together, they aren't going to stop us. >> well i don't know about a woman but i'll tell you elizabeth warren can beat donald trump. >> the good news is the field is narrowing. the better news is we're all taking really closer looks at the other guys now. >> they aren't bad folks just not democrats. >> now mike bloomberg is not on the ballot here, but elizabeth warren was not done bashing him. he agreed to release the nda's of three woman but for her it wasn't enough. listen. >> it's just

and as for joe biden, well, griff pointed out he did have some gaffes.his strongest debate out of the last 10 debates. so, as you look at the polls going into south carolina, i think biden still wins in south carolina but ultimately i don't think bernie can be stopped. ainsley: but you know what? last night if you watched the debate it was more about being heard? they all wanted to talk over each other. they wanted to have that big moment when they had some soundbite that everybody was going to play in the morning. steve: like the last debate. ainsley: what i wanted to learn was about the issues. i want to know, bernie, how do you plan on paying for medicare for all and they questioned him about that. steve: do you have a couple hours? ainsley: they said no, two minutes. buttigieg says number keeps getting lower and lower change the number constantly. amy klobuchar said something really interesting. she said this is going to cost three times our economy. not the federal government. the entire economy. how are you going to pay for this? brian: klobuchar w

heather: griff jenkins where a tight race appears to be shaking up, good morning, griff. >> good morningather, up to iowa voters now, 7:00 p.m. local in precincts across the state, first gather in the room for first-choice candidate if it doesn't meet a 15% threshold they'll have to make a second choice, the red lights this year 3 tabulations, first expression and final expression in the state delegate equivalency that last one having being the traditional determining factor but the new relates may give multiple candidates reason to claim victory, one thing is clear four-way race for sure, now bind and sanders had been neck and neck in recent polls but pete buttigieg and warren have had so much energy here drawing crowds that have exceeded the capacity of the event area they are, warren was high-fiving people in an overflow room. we talked to some voters. here is what they had to say. >> i'm here for criminal justice reform, she spoke to public defenders. >> i'll be caucuses for warren, i love her candidate. >> i'm caucusing for tom steyer. >> i'm caucusing for amy klobuchar, if she does

griff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, lauren and cheryl. not the night that the iowa democrat party officials had hoped for, maybe the longest in their history, it appears a you new app to record results failed and the backup telephone system not delivering either. you can see the lights on here at the democrat party headquarters but no one is home. they've gone offsite to do the results. it was a long night. we had a conference call in the dead of night from troy price, the chairman of the idp. he says it's not about malfeasance but it will take longer. here's a little bit of the conference call. >> t at this point, the idp is manually verifying all precinct results. we expect to have numbers to report later today. we want to emphasize that this is a reporting issue, not a hack or an intrusion. we are updating campaigns and we will continue to provide updates as they are available. >> reporter: so when later today we'll get those results is anybody's guess. obviously going to take a long time. there's more than 1600 precincts that had to b

lauren: looking forward, griff jenkins, thank you very much.coronavirus pandemic weighing on the markets, the dow and s&p 500 closing down for the fifth straight session and down again this morning. so what exactly are investors reacting to? is it pandemic panic or is it the fact that bernie sanders is the frontrunner in the democratic presidential race? it's an honest question. jonathan hoenig, managing member of capitalist pig.com, he's here to unpack all of it for us. the president was talking about the coronavirus and said, well, you know, the markets are down a lot but you have to remember that it's because the democrats are a mess. >> the democrats are a mess and bernie sanders is something the markets are fearful for. you can't blame the 25 point swing simply on who is leading in the democratic race. the trend has changed. only 25% of stocks are above their 50 day moving average. less than half are above their 200 day moving average. so whether it's just the end of a very long bull cycle, the virus or any of these other factors, the mark

pete: thank you, griff. emily: that was so interesting.that was father time there and everything. that was really good. this is a primary. totally different than a caucus. different than the proportional allocation in other states. there is a declared winner that comes up. i think what is interesting, later in the show, we show you a clip of it, joe biden put out a campaign ad on pete buttigieg. just, cuts under pete buttigieg, they are really going. as biden come down, pete has gone up. i think when you see this biden ad that is online, holy cow, does he -- pete: he does. he slams him. small town mayor. another poll came out of new hampshire from the university of massachusetts. it polled 400 democrats in new hampshire this is not a joke. 62% of democrats in new hampshire said they would rather have a meteorite hit earth and kill all humans than have donald trump reelected president of the united states. that is a real poll from the university of massachusetts. 62% of democrats. giant meteor to strike the earth. emily: that is telling, gr

we begin with griff jenkins in henderson, nevada, hey, griff.: hay, those trends that fox news is putting out now certainly follow the precinct in this liberty in henderson that we have been following, let me let you have a look, you see the precinct, 20 precincts at the high school, this is just one of them, you see them at ease, they've been working now for over an hour, they've just finished their second alignment which means essentially done now it's time to record it and we got their count they tell us has bernie at 40 and buttigieg at 20, those are the only results they gave us but certainly matching that of what fox news is predicting is the trend at the very moment, the precinct site leader jennifer webb cook telling us that she felt that it was that early voting that really helped ease the process here. it ran very smoothly, we have seen absolutely no hiccups as we continue to monitor it, again, our one precinct here has got bernie at 40, buttigieg at 20, that's, of course, not representative of the entire state, just this one here in h

have all the angles covered with live teovag union, impeachment vote but we start with caucuses and griffenkins there working. >> reporter: a frustrating night for iowa democrat party officials, longest in their history. a new apps failed a backup telephone system and look at the headquarters here, you see the lights are on but no one is home. a sign saying they have left to do the results but it has been marred by a lot of errors here. we have a telephone call at 1:00 am local time from troy price trying to explain this wasn't malfeasance but it will take some time. >> the idp is verifying all precinct results. we expect to have numbers to report later today. we want to emphasize that this is a reporting issue, not a hacker intrusion. we will continue to provide updates as available. >> reporter: when we get this resolved later today is anybody's guess, there are 1600 precincts and they had 3 sets of data for the first time they began. the candidates expressing confidence and they have moved on to new hampshire. >> let's stay happy and get to new hampshire. >> we move on to new hampshire

thanks, griff. leland: meanwhile, president trump went after bernie sanders ahead of today's caucus and started off yesterday at a rally in vegas. >> bernie's too emotional, he's screaming, going crazy. >> all right, with that we bring in talk radio host, tony katz voice of minuneapolis. and what do you think about the president's road show, before a caucus he's in the state with a rally. >> smart plan, smart way to do it. newt gingrich said if he got the nomination in 2012 he would go where barack obama was giving a speech not knowing what he would say and he would immediately explain why barack obama was wrong. this is standard operating procedure and it's a good one. feel the thunder-- steal the thunder and i was there when the president had the rally in new hampshire and there was a divide in excitement. the president's supporters versus kind of the begrudging of the democrats, who they were going to be voting for. it's politics 101 and it's a smart move. leland: the president likes to talk abou

las vegas is griff jenkins out on the strip. hey, griff. griff: hey, steve, ainsley and pete.ertainly on the debate stage. there is no welcome party from the candidates to his arrival. look at this vicious elizabeth warren tweet. she says it's a shame mike bloomberg can buy his way into the debate. but at least now primary voters curious about how each candidate will take on donald trump can get a live demonstration of you who we each take on an ego maniac billionaire. let me show you who is on that stage. it's going to be bloomberg, buttigieg, sanders, warren, klobuchar and biden. already bloomberg's name came up in a town hall last night when candidates were asked whether or not they would take bloomberg money if they got the nomination. watch. >> if mr. bloomberg wins and i certainly hope he does not. i will support the democratic nominee. as of now, we have not taken -- we don't have a super pac. >> sure. i'm not going to reject that help because it came from a very wealthy person. >> now, nationally, look at the latest nbc, "wall street journal" pool. poll. you see sander

griff griff interestingly, ainsley you mentioned warren.oved the fiercest fighter on stage is aadvantaging everybody up there bloomberg did attempt to go after the frontrunner bernie sanders leading nationally in two of the most recent polls. here was bloomberg's attempt. watch this. >> i don't think there is any chance of the senator beating president trump. i don't think there is any chance whatsoever and if he goes and is the candidate, we will have donald trump for another four years and we can't stand that. >> bloomberg's campaign manager kevin put this statement out afterwards saying you know you are a winner when you are drawing attacks from all the candidates. everyone came to destroy mike tonight. it didn't happen. but obviously, not many of the pundits agree with kevin sheekey this morning. perhaps mike bloomberg is glad he is not on the ballot on saturday. the next debate where he will have another shot at it will be in south carolina next week, guys. steve: all right, thank you very much. we have been waiting to see what it look

pete: amazing griff.to spin why the loss is actually a win. in this case they have to explain why they lost. griff, thank you very much. why they lost to an independent democratic socialist not in the party at all, instead is running away with the field. lisa: what blows my mind from the entrance polling last night is that bernie sanders was just one point shy of joe biden with conservative and moderate democrats and pete buttigieg is one point behind him. this is a guy who is a socialist, right? he is a socialist. like a hardcore socialist who previously called for the nationalization of programs in the '70s, who is getting, like 22% if my memory serves me correct, i could double-check, with conservatives moderates, behind joe biden. that blows my mind, jason. jason: what he wants to do in terms of health care, what he wants to do -- by the trillions of dollars. it is a total takeover and invasion into people's lives. it takes away liberty about. when america wakes up and actually sees what this radical

we start with the caucuses and griff jenkins live. >> reporter: the democratic party not having the nighty expert to. and apps that was a new way to report the results failing a telephone system backup not delivered. let's look at the headquarters of the idp, no one is inside. they have moved off site to do the caucus results but it is clearly not working out and we have no idea when we might get those results, 1:00 am central we got a conference call, no questions, just a statement from chairman troy price. here is what he had to say. >> at this point the idp is manually verifying all precinct results, we expect to have numbers to report later today. he wants to emphasize this is a reporting issue, not a hacker incursion. we will continue to provide updates as they are available. >> reporter: the good news is it is not malfeasance. the bad news is it could be a long time before we get those results. more than 1600 precincts have to manually report and they are reporting 3 sets of data to tabulate, not one. that was a first as well compounding the problem. the candidates are moving on to

griff, super bowl today. tomorrow is the caucus. griff griff this is tomorrow.o be first to make their cases for votes know. candidates made their cases why it is best to take on president trump, we saw in the first time in a while. people like elizabeth warren and bernie sanders taking it to the voters here. watch. >> i am here right now in iowa reaching out to everyone as best i can. this is such an incredible opportunity. >> the whole world is asking whether or not the people in iowa are prepared to stand up to fight for justice. reporter: sanders drawing a strong crowd. warren as well on his heels. biden continues to have the advantage, been out here talking to crowds every day. he gave a print interview where he was feeling pressure of sanders but at the sanders rally we found the same enthusiastic supporters but found at least one person who undecided. we learned what people felt about impeachment. listen. >> i won't commit to who i am caucus for yet, but i can tell you why i like bernie and i feel like he sincerely care. >> this is movement. it truly is.

talking but griff. none of us know how to do grief right anden in if us believe there's only one way to do it. we know how to do it wrong, though. because we have allerred at various points. we have lash evidence out at loves ones and checked out of daily life. we drunk and self-medicate heavily. slept too much, and exercised and eaten too little. we have known anger and depression, we have abandoned friendships and health care. you name the tragic flaw on unhealthing coping mechanism and he he all done it but we have grown, too. we found forgiveness, healing and peace. we have realized just how much fight there is left in us, and how much opportunity has been afforded us. we have been challenged to embrace those moments of opportunity and we fully expect to continue to learn. our individual journeyys don't all look the same and they won't look like yours. but despite our differences we have learned one universal truth that as to each of us. every human will struggle in this life. our challenge is to st

tracee: griff, thank you very much. the senate will hold closing arguments in the impeachment trial on capitol hill today. president trump is expected to be acquitted on wednesday. but as one investigation ends, republicans are gearing up to start their own investigation. tracee: david spunt is in washington, d.c. as the fight against president trump appears to be wrapping. >> reporter: good morning. the t senate will reconvene later this morning at 11:00 for closing arrestingments and both -- arguments and both legal teams have to do it in four hours. wednesday they will vote on the actual articles of impeachment. that's when the senators will declare guilty or not guilty. to remove the president on wednesday, 67 senators need to sign object. the math is not there for that to happen. meanwhile, the president is back at the white house this morning after arriving late last night after a weekend in florida. >> they don't care about fairness, they don't care about lying. look at the reports that were done that were so fal

thanks so much, griff.can thank in part to his place right now in the polls, nancy pelosi by opening up the can of worms with ukraine that would automatically give the republicans fodder every day to bring up burisma and hunter biden. and did that impact? you got to figure it did. ainsley: and i don't think she cared about it because she so badly wanted this president impeached. she didn't care who was going to be thrown under the bus. steve: you have to think about the collateral damage. joe biden in part collateral damage to the impeachment. brian: that's true. he also gave her the stage alone while bernie sanders, klobuchar and elizabeth warren sat there in purgatory listening to these senators drone on or these house managers and biden had the whole thing to himself with mayor pete. and he went backwards. because the more you see him, the less you want to see him. steve: and pete buttigieg was at the top of the polls about a month ago in iowa and it looks like he has razor thin win in iowa. ainsley: wil
