but mr. trump tweets persisted." why did the d.n.c. refuse to turn over its server to the f.b.i." and "where are hidden and smashed d.n.c. servers?" there were more than 140 servers in the democrats' network. but mr. trump created an image of a single box of incriminating information. >> trump: where is the server? i want to know, where is the server? and what is the server saying? with that being said, all i can do is ask the question. my people came to me-- dan coats came to me and some others-- they said they think it's russia. i have president putin; he just said it's not russia. i will say this: i don't see any reason why it would be, but i really do want to see the server. >> pelley: that statement, letting russia off the hook, forced president trump to issue a retraction the next day. through all of this, vladimir putin wasn't just standing idly by. he was working to shift blame away from russia. >> kendall-taylor: what we can see is that russia did what russia does, and that is piling on. t

reagan put in with a smile and mr. trump follows with a smear, we're going to have a better america and be better people for it. [applause] >> and stephanie dickens. right here, over here. hi. mr. steyer: hi, just want to make sure we get to this lady over here. but first. >> thank you. stephanie dickens from iowa. i believe we need sweeping changes. we need to do drastic things. mr. steyer: transformational. >> ok, transformational. i also believe we need to be -- -- it has to be a win-win. we have to be willing to get along with our counterparts. i kind of get the impression you want to go in there like a bulldozer and be like, it's my way or the highway. i'd like to get this done. i have a two-part question. mr. steyer: i would but to respond to that, of course. >> but also, i have not heard about your foreign policy and i want to see how that will transfer over into your foreign policy ideas. mr. steyer: let me say this. first, you will never hear me say a disrespectful word about republican voters. because i don't feel

mr trump's presidency. this was given to me for my birthday and i really liked it and that's part of my collection here in the room where i spend some of my time do you actually think that he is making america great absolutely in the way in every possible economical . way considering that you know g.d.p. is above the roof. job. crowd is almost gone in america and i think he's been a very successful president at least financially as a businessman with the business background he's been more successful than a lot of his pretty presidents it's interesting that they say that because he is riding very high in the polls according to gallup 63 percent of the americans approve of the of his handling of the economy which is a record not only for trump but also for any president since 911. in your view is it primarily due to the real deal the deliverables or is it primarily he is talent if not obsession for self marketing well i think it's a combination of both but there is a reality behind the numbers and considering

mr. trump is running on because he is not a subtle man. he says it all the time. he said it very clearly in december in florida to a group of american citizens. he was at the american israeli conference and he look at a group of people like you and he said," you do not like me and i do not like you. voteou are all going to for me because if the democrats get control of this economy, they are going to destroy it in 15 minutes, so even though you do not like me, you all have to vote for me." that is his campaign. let me elaborate -- that is what he said. let me interpret what he really meant to say -- what he really meant it to say was, "i am a credible -- criminal. you and you% of despise me. if i came to iowa city, you would not let me in the front door of your house and you would never let me sit down to eat dinner with your family. " [applause] but you are all going to vote for me because the democrats are a bunch of socialists. they do not understand job growth or prosperity. even though you

because mr trump is obviously a bit older than me and has much more experience i asked him i said how do you manage you know business and she. business because how does one has to benefit the other and is that listen the more success you pick up public publicly and show business the better it will help your business and you know since i met him it's been 78 years ago and i've applied that formular. even more. precisely to everything i've doing business and it's really working you know whether you open a developing the restaurant or you build a building an apartment building you know being the face of the building. and kind of promoting it in your social media today or just visiting it the recording you know the story is a really positive the reflects on your business model it adds value to what you do if people like you and believe you and i think you know he is he is the biggest inventor of that form i heard him say once that he learned from his father the value of every penny and he said specifically that the reason he turned out the way he did was because his father pushed him and

as expected, mr trump struck an upbeat note in a speech that set out a case for another four years in office. let's get more on this story from samira hussain who joins me from new york. she was watching that very long speech in which he boldly claimed he'd done so much for the us economy. in almost 80 minutes, we heard from us presidents donald trump really talk about the us economy. it's because that is something that has been going very well during his presidency and remember, this is the state of the union address that was given it during a year he is fighting for real election. it is unsurprising that the president spent the first part of his speech really dedicated to really highlighting his economic accomplishments. let's listen to what he said. in just three short years, we have shattered the mentality of american decline and we have rejected the downsizing of american's destiny. we have totally rejected the downsizing. we are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago and we are never, ever, going back. how does what he had to say in that speech matc

but white house lawyers insist their transcript of phone calls between mr trump and ukraine's leader,ou what our ukrainian ally said. "it was normal. we spoke about many things. i think when you read it, nobody pushed me." only the third presidential impeachment trial in us history will wrap up next week — with closing arguments starting on monday, and a final vote on wednesday. the republican—led senate is virtually certain to acquit donald trump, who will try and frame this bitterly—partisan saga as a washignton witchhunt, as he revs up his reelection campaign. this is our moment in history... but democrats campaigning in iowa ahead of monday's caucus — the first poll in this election season — hope voters will pass a different verdict on donald trump's fitness for office come november. that was ben wright reporting — hejoins me now from washington. but the numbers in the senate were a lwa ys but the numbers in the senate were always in trump all ‘s favour, weren't they? they have been throughout this trial, but there was a question throughout much of this week about whether or not t

mr. trump guilty of the abuse of power charged. he's the first u.s. senator ever to vote to convict the president from the same party in an impeachment trial. let's go to our senior congressional correspondent manu raju. what's the reaction? >> reporter: the reaction has been surprise from the republican side of the i'll. mitch mcconnell said he was surprised and he was disappointed by romney's vote. democrats, however, are applauding what romney did. chuck schumer applauded the move and said it was a sign of a bipartisan vote in the senate, essentially robbing the republicans of the argument that essentially this is all done on a partisan basis now that mitt romney has broken ranks and joined on abuse of power voting to convict the president on that charge. but he did vote to acquit the president on obstruction of congress. just moments ago nancy pelosi told reporters that mitt romney's move was, quote, very courageous. republicans for the most part in the senate say there's not going to be an

democrats should be very nervous about what's going on because mr. trumpon the economy and he's basically saying you shouldn't care if i'm a criminal. you shouldn't care if i'm a raci racist. all you should care about is what i can put in your pockets and the democrats are terrible on the economy. he should be worried and choose someone who can beat them and to beat him you'll have to go after him on the economy which i can do based on my more than 30 years building a business and understanding what creates growth and jobs. that was my argument last night is we got to beat him and we got to beat him op the economy or we're going to lose. >> right now you're polling at 3% in new hampshire after spending more than $20 million advertising there. you're spending more than three times any other candidate by the latest numbers we have. if you koents come out on top next week, what does that tell you? >> i say this, the other thing a candidate has to do to win the nomination and beat mr. trump is put together a diverse coalition across this country. if you look a

so unlike mr. trump, i have over a decade-long history of working in politics as an outsider, and we have never lost. you don't have to wonder about whether i can be successful because i've taken on oil companies in terms of clean energy. i've forced tobacco companies to pay their share of health costs to the tune of 3 to $4 billion a year into medical to support the lowest income californians. i've beat tobacco companies. i've beat utilities. i've beat drug companies. so when you think about me, it's true that i've not held elective office. but if you believe what i believe, which is that this is a government that is broken and has been bought by corporations, you have to ask, who will take them on? is it going to be an outsider like me who has a decade of successful experience, never losing to corporations, coming to d.c. and taking them on and pushing for things like term limits for congress people and senators? or is it going to be someone inside the beltway? and the last thing i want to say about be

republicans are expected to acquit mr. trump in the senate. house speaker nancy pelosi's actions last night are especially remarkable because she's usually the one working to keep democrats in line. you'll remember back in december when the house voted on the articles of impeachment she shushed her caucus to keep them from celebrating. last night we clearly saw a slightly different, more emotional pelosi. >> sure did. >> katherine johnson on capitol hill, thank you. >>> president trump avoided any mention of his impeachment trial during last night's address. he's expected to be acquitted today and senators are set to vote this afternoon on the two articles of impeachment against mr. trump. maine senator susan collins announced she's voting to acquit the president. she said the house's case did not meet the burden of removing the president from office. collins was one of two republicans who voted last week to call witnesses and documents in the trial. that vote failed. >>> the iowa democratic party released partial results of its presidential c

steyer: mr. trump did make the statement in front of the american israeli conference pretty much word for word what i said. and i think what it reflects, carlos, is this, he is saying to americans, that it is not about his personal relationship with them or how they feel about him. that it is really about his ability to run the economy. and what i was trying to say to the people here in iowa city, but also which i've been saying is look, i don't think he is good for the americans on the economy. i think he is incompetent. i think what is going to make him lose in the fall is that he is running on the economy and he happens to be an incompetent manager of the american economy, and a bad for the american people. and i believe that my 30 year record in the private sector of building a business from scratch and actually having to understand what causes prosperity, what causes real growth in the economy, that i'm someone who can take him on and show the world that he is a fake, that he's been bad for americ

mr trump isa and ethical and effective.trump is a very formidable campaigner, has a very strong base. so, you know, the democrats need to get their act together. but we will see. democrats need to get their act together. but we will seelj don't together. but we will see.|j don't know who you, which side you are on and here but if you are to vote democrat, who would you vote for? i would like to say at this early stage. i'm going to keep my cards close to my chest is what we been hearing from them for months, it is not that early. it is early in terms of seeing how the american people respond to the american people respond to the messages. i think the lesson of 2016, at least for me in terms of political risk, has been careful not to take your guidance from things like twitter and finding out what the american people are actually thinking and what they say they're thinking this is what they actually vote for who they select. it can be very different to what they admit to. and that is what hasjust transpired in the last elect

and a lot of people see mr. trump as sort of the best person to make that happen. he and mr. modi, as you said, are very close. they do have some surface-level things in common. they're populist nationalists. they're, of course, from different backgrounds. they have different views on the economy. there does seem to be in friendship. you saw that when president trump stepped off air force one today. he gave mr. modi a big hug. now, the real reason he's here, of course, is those optics. he has said he's expecting anywhere between 6 and 10 million people in ahmedabad to see him or view him. the population is 8 million, slightly less than he was expecting, certainly some of the biggest crowds he's ever seen abroad. this is a president who loves crowds. he went to three campaign rallies last week. you mentioned elton john. that's his campaign rally they play in the cricket stadium here in india. that's what this is all about. there are other issues on the table as well. trade certainly. the president downplaying the prospects the two countries could come up with a major trade dea

while here i'm 100 percent sure that that is purely theater mr trump it wants the american people tobelieve he's protecting us from being unfairly treated nowhere else in the world is that believed only here what the rest of the world believes right or wrong is that the united states wants a better deal that the united states economic system is having trouble which is true enough and wants to fix it or at least improve by getting better exchange relationships with china with latin america mexico canada all the countries trump has yelled at and that's what they see it's an attempt by a big player the u.s. to muscle its way into a better deal they don't want to do it they are now stronger than they used to be so what we have is mr trump playing to his audience here i just want fairness and the rest of the world to get it its heels and say we're not giving you any more you became the richest country in the world based on a good piece of ripping us off and we're not going to let you do that anymore and you can call it fairness but it doesn't change that's why we don't reach agreements be

mr. trump's allies challenged this arguing that mr. p has been tough on russia and some intelligence official viewed it as an attack. had they spoken less pointedly or left it out, they would have avoided angering the republicans. if you don't tell the truth, the republicans don't get upset. according to "the new york post", the president perceived that as disloyalty by maguire, the head of dni and his staff, and it ruined maguire's chances of becoming the permanent intelligence chief. you don't become the head if you give information to the democrats about what the russians are doing to our elections. put that together. last night the president announced his choice as the next acting director of national intelligence, richard grinnell. a fierce russian loyalist and towedy. a hard liner for trump who will do his bidding. grinnell has essentially, this is no surprise, no intelligence experience. his resume, if you want to call it that, includes serving as u.s. spokesman for the u.n. under george w. bush and he was a foreign spokesman for

mr trump spoke uninterrupted for over an hour. here is the flavour of it all. it was evil.t was dirty cops. it was leakers and liars and this should never ever happen to another president ever. i did nothing wrong. i have done things wrong in my life, i will admit. nothing wrong. i have done things wrong in my life, iwill admit. not purposefully. but i have done things wrong. but this is what the end result is.

mr. trumpis a terrible economic president. >> brennan: this is separate. >> i understand that. i'm going to address the federal reserve statement. mr. trump is runing on the economy, but he's runing on a mara lago economy where he gives benefits to the big corporations. in terms of opoids and education is how you actually develop long term prosparity and justice. and that is by investing in young people through education, specifically including universal pre-kindergarten, and my dealing with issues around the country including the opoid crisis, including mental health -- what mr. trump is doing is a very superficial juice to the economy through pals at the country club and other rich people. he's avoiding the language term prosperity of americans by making us productive over time, and that means education, health care for every american, a living wage. the wages of americans are outrageously low. it's a completely different way of thinking. >> brennan: when you talk about trying to even the pla

mr. trump should say bring it on. it also mr. biden should say come on in and investigate me. >> thank you very much ma'am. final opening statements from mr. murphy. >> hi my name is bill murphy and i'd like to select or have your vote for united states present. i am run distinct running for president because again. i was born in the united states and new hampshire where i'm approaching my 60th year of teaching social studies. i'm running because i can in the state of new hampshire where all i have to do is walk in the door and talk to a wonderful man, bill gardner and plopped on my $1000. i thousand dollars, is a lot of money for a schoolteacher. but if you really believe in your cause, then it is well spent. and that is my message to my students the students here in the room. to the cause is that important, and make little bit of sacrifice. i would have some mornings i am worried again about the news. when the president has done. i cahe has been dishonest and bullied and name called and abused women and this is not the role mod

as part of his western swing, mr. trump showed support for colorado g.o.p.or cory gardner and took aim at the academy awards and winner for best picture, "parasite." >> how bad were the academy awards this year, the winner is a movie from south korea -- what the hell was that all about? we've got enough problems with south korea, with trade grid on top of that, they give the best movie of the year? i don't know. speak of the democratic national committee tweeting about that, t how the ultrarich were oblivious about the struggles of the working class, and many slept outside to get income of the familiar lines and crowds is something in 2016, many saying that it would not translate to a trump victory. i talked to his campaign about that tonight. >> there were people sleeping out in the snow last night in the bitter cold with 10 degrees now, the crowd enormous when i pulled up, something is happening here. >> and the president headed back to las vegas for another rally right after this one. back to you. >> kristin: thanks so much. the trump administration negot
