President. Think of it. A phone call. A very good phone call. I know bad phone calls. Now we have the gorgeous word. I never thought a word would sound so good. Its called total acquittal. I want to thank my family for sticking through it. This was not part of the deal. This is a day of celebration. We went through hell. Martha President Trump taking a victory lap today on the heels of his senate acquittal. It wasnt a News Conference or a speech. He said it was a celebration coming after three years of investigations into his conduct. Mark chiefton writing for the Washington Post today. Democrats threw everything they had at trump. Hes still standing. But those same democrats are still fighting tonight showing no signs of giving up. Hes impeach forever, no matter what he says. Youre impeach forever. Youre never getting rid of that scar. Martha so what comes next . How do we move forward from here . The impeachment saga winds down and the election gears up. Thats what americans are left wondering tonight. What happens now . Christine pelosi on the escalation of tensions between the president and the speaker and trey gowdy is here. Chris coons joins me with a powerful message on reconciliation. First, kellyanne conway, counselor to the president. Good to have you with us. Hi, martha. Martha some of the president s critics after the speak said it was vindictive and vulgar. They said he should never have used that word in the white house. What do you say to that . Who can blame them. Theyve tried over three years now to get the president instead of getting the story or getting things done on behalf of this country. First it was lets find the 70,000 electors in the three states and change the results. Its the emoluments, russia, russia, russia, the phone call with the ukrainian president. Nancy pelosi should stop lying. She should stop pretending theres any kind of victory in the impeachment. The goal was to remove the president. Its always been to stop donald trump from being and continuing to be the president. Thats the goal. They failed miserably. Id ask them, what do you have left . What do you have left . You put everything you had against this. All you have left is a very disspirited chaotic democratic base. You have joe biden running around saying hes electable. The democratic voters in iowa saying youre not delectable. You have a president more emboldened to do things on behalf of the country. Martha in terms of todays celebration, in many ways you can understand him wanting to bring everybody together that worked on the case with him. Its sort of felt in some ways like it was more maybe a private celebration instead of something for everybody. Given that, does it stir up his opposition . Does all of this just continue to sort of poke the fire . I know youre going to say what can you its never going to stop. The attacking. Can the president at some point, you know, take the high road and say you know what . Enough. Lets put this behind us and move on. More that, we have said that so many times. Hes said it. To what end . Go back and look what happened after the Mueller Report came out about march 24 of last year. That is almost a year ago. The Mueller Report came out and immediately the press got nervous and wrote all of these stories. They were very nervous the tables would be turned and we would start saying what was this about . A 600page report that says nothing. Nobody moved on. They didnt move on. They moved on to the mueller testimony and then the ukrainian investigation. The impeachment got 77 times more coverage than the trump economy. Its gotten probably million times more coverage than his position on School Choice or position on life. You have a president that is trying to bring the country together. Look at that speech, the state of the union. Hes honoring the best of america. We dont have celebrities in the first ladys books. We have ely from missouri that was born at 21 weeks and a healthy thriving 2yearold. We show the best martha i understand that there are numbers that show that it was very successful with independents. And nancy pelosi lied. She lied from the podium. Martha about what . That obama started this economic recovery. The fact is, he presided over the slowest economic recovery since world war ii. That we now have a 50year low on unemployment and the growth rates are through the roof. She lied about healthcare. Nobody calls her out. Martha i want to ask you about healthcare, if i may. Nancy pelosi said the white house wants to kill preexisting coverage of medical conditions. Shes lying. Martha what are you doing to preserve preexisting conditions . Im part of a small team working on healthcare. When americans think about healthcare, they dont want another protracted argument about insurance. They believe it means improving Health Outcome and preventing disease. Were working on that. Martha does the president want to continue to cover preexisting conditions . The answer to that is 100 absolutely yes. Anybody that says otherwise is lying. This. Is covering he wants to cover preexisting conditions. May i remind everybody, next month is the tenyear anniversary of obamacare. Yes, it helped some americans but ten years later, the big lie, you can keep your plan, keep your doctor, that was wrong. We still have millions and millions of americans, martha, with no type of Health Insurance whatsoever. Obamabiden promised keep your plan, keep your doctor. Martha its clearly going to be a big topic as we move forward. Its very important to make sure that americans have coverage. Martha one last question. If joe biden who knows what will happen in New Hampshire and south carolina. His numbers have declined a bit in New Hampshire and also dropped 5 in south carolina. If the biden candidacy fizzles, will the investigations continue into biden and burisma or will that story go away from your perspective . This president is always going to want to know countries like ukraine are fighting corruption and the new ukrainian president that ran successfully on an Anti Corruption agenda will make good on that promise. That is the point from the beginning. I dont think the polls and joe biden matter much to his fortunes. I wrote in the Washington Post his this fiction of electability is not true. Donald trump disproved that in 2016. Electricity and focus on lect lectoral college wins every day. The white house is not running the investigations. Thats up to other departments. What is most important, we at the white house dont choose who sat on the board of burisma, a corrupt Energy Company in ukraine and we certainly dont choose who runs on the democratic side in 2020. I think most important question for joe biden, who is now known more as Hunter Bidens father, where is president obama . Why do three candidates now including Mike Bloomberg have and Elizabeth Warren have ads narrated by former president obama now . Theyre trying to run on the fact that they were close to obama and he martha he would disagree. No doubt. Martha thanks, kellyanne. Thank you. Martha so already here tonight, speechwriter to george w. Bush and richard fowler. Fox news contributes. Richard, let me go to you first. What did you think of the president s speech today in the white house . And Kellyanne Conways response. This is a moment for the white house to move on and talk about they just passed a trade deal with canada and mexico. Instead, he took a victory lap which seemed to be like you said, a private party made public to the American People. Im not really sure why. All of this does is divides this country. Its the job of our president to unite the country, even given in a world where he doesnt care that democrats are willing to work with him. He promised these things that he would get done but he cant get them done without the house of representatives. Maybe its time for an olive branch instead of a stick. Martha mark . Uniting the country by impeaching the president. The democrats have done a good job of uniting. The president is bitter and has reason to be bitter and angry. Nancy pelosi is bitter and angry as well. The impeachment was an absolute disaster. Put aside the rhetoric. The gallup poll that came out in october, before when the impeachment inquiry started, 39 approval for donald trump. Today, 49 in gallup. The highest hes ever had. A 10 rise as the hearings and trial taking place. The people that said he shouldnt be removed from office were 46 at the start. Now 52 . His the number of people that think that he should get a second term has risen from 41 to 52 . 94 support in the golf than the high 70s for obama. Martha no doubt about that. A disaster for the democrats. Martha let me play this for the president today. Watch this. If they find that i happen to walk across the street and maybe go against a light or something, lets impeach him. So well probably have to do it again. These people have gone stone cold crazy. Ive beaten them all my life. Ill beat them again if i have to. Martha richard, is there exhaustion on the side of democrats for this effort . Is there a feeling that it would be more productive to not keep going with all of these investigations . Listen, that argument is very i sympathize with that argument. With that being said for this president to compare what happened with his call with the ukrainians to him crossing the street is like comparing apples and oranges. There was wrong doing in the car. Republicans will admit that. Did it leave to was it impeachable martha or should it have gotten to this process is question. Thats right. There comes a time in every president s career, legacy where they say now is a time to focus on civility. Now is a time to be a leader. The president hasnt found that yet. No contrition here whatsoever. Richard, she just tore up his state of the union hes still the president of the United States. It doesnt matter. She this is part of the prop. Martha and and in order for that to happen the dynamic in some material way has to change. But these two will keep going at each other. Theres no doubt about it. The next nine months, the focus turns to the election. Well see what happens here. Thanks, martha. Martha the president labelled nancy pelosi as a horrible person after she tore his speech at the state of the union. Nancy pelosis daughter christine will respond for the first time next. I had nancy pelosi sitting four seats away. Im saying things that a lot of people wouldnt have said. But i meant every word. honk i hear you sister. Thats why im partnering with cigna to remind you to go in for your annual checkup, and be open with your doctor about anything you feel physically and emotionally. But now cigna has a plan that can help everyone see stress differently. Just find a period of time to unwind. A location to destress. An activity to enjoy. Or the name of someone to talk to. To create a plan that works for you, visit cigna. Com mystressplan. Cigna. Together, all the way. And i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. I tore up a manifesto of mistruths. I dont need a lecture from the president about dignity. It was appropriate. Martha the ongoing feud with president and nancy pelosi boiling over today. The two trading more barbs through the media. They have not spoken in months and there doesnt appear to be a thaw coming. The president blasted nancy pelosi during the National Prayer breakfast, held up a newspaper heralding his acquittal of the house as she sat feet away. A celebratory speech in the east room of the white house, the president took aim again. Nancy pelosi is a horrible person. She wanted to impeach me a long time ago. She said i pray for the president. She doesnt pray. She may pray but prays for the opposite. I doubt she prays at all. Martha all right. Here now, christine pelosi, the daughter of nancy pelosi and the author of the nancy pelosi way. Thanks for being here. Thank you. Martha i want your reaction when you saw the speaker rip up the pages intentionally, one, two, three in fronts of the cameras. Did you know she was going to do that . No idea she was going to do that. Nancy pelosi is a wonderful person. She prays daily for the president and for the country as we talked before. In watching that, her reaction to that speech, i thought to myself, thats an italian grandma move. I saw my grandmother do that years ago in her kitchen when there was a guest at my grandfathers house. She picked up the persons plate without comment, we heard a crashing sound. She threw the plate away, sat down and didnt say another word. I thought that martha you thought it was appropriate. I thought it was an italian grandma move. Martha she said it was the most courteous thing i could do, she said, given my other exuberances. What were her other exuberances . What would have been worse . Plenty of things would have been worse. He could have put his outstretched hand to her and she could have refused to shake it, which surprised me. I thought wait. Her hand is out there. Why isnt he shaking her hand . You hear someone give a speech in front of you and say things that you know to be untrue, he says hes protecting peoples care. Kellyanne conway just repeated that. Hes in court suing to overturn the Patient ProtectionAffordable Care act. Hes in court trying to uphold rules that will change the definition of a public charge that will hurt immigrants like his own father who came martha policy differences no doubt about that. If you lie about what youre doing martha i have watched state of the Union Addresses my whole life. Ive been there. Martha theres always president s that stand up there and talk about their policies, always people in the audience including speakers of the houses of the opposite party that dont agree that theyre saying what they see as the more effective policy. They have different views on the way to fix healthcare in this country. Doesnt mean that you rip up the speech. I mean my whole life people have sat there and listened to each other. Thats what happens at the state of the union. I thought it was surprising. I was with a panel of people, democrats, republicans. Everybody just thought wow that was a surprising move. That was one of the nicer words used for it. That was your panel of people. I was with hundreds of people last night that loved it. Martha im sure thats true. I know that sentiment is out there as well. Im just its out there for sure. To your point though, its not a matter of saying you and i can disagree. Were both speaking the truth. Its a different thing. If i say theres a lawsuit to overturn the law and at the same time i say im defending the law, im lying. That martha theres a lawsuit to overturn the law, to allow a system that they think would be better to protect people. It would provide better coverage in the end because they think that that law is not effective so far in doing so. So that to me is a policy difference. Yes, were trying to do this because we want to overturn that. Thats a policy difference. I dont see it as lies. Maybe we have a different way of listening to both sides here. I just want to play this other sound bite here from the speaker about thinking that the president was sedated. Watch this. Also an act of kindness because he looked like he was a little sedated. People felt that way last year, too. Didnt want to shake hands. That was that meant nothing to me. Had nothing to do with my tearing up. Martha im curious what your take is on that. When i heard that, i thought i think i thought he had a cold this morning. I didnt know what that remark was. Maybe he had a cold last night, too. I thought he sounded like he had a cold this morning. In any event, theres two things. One is i thought you were going to play the part where i thought you said all the things he said about mitt romney, which was bizarre. I thought in 2012 mitt romney talking about it a lot at the republican convention. I dont think it was new or a crutch. Martha a lot of people say that back and forth was over the line. Theres a couple things going on here. The house of representatives has the power. If they want to get something passed, they have to go through the house of representatives. They have to go back there. Thats how the trade deal got done after the house of representatives made it better working with labor. You want to get something done on healthcare, the budget, he will eventually have to go back to the house of representatives to make something happen. Martha true. Let me well have to wait to see what those dynamics are then. When the budget comes out, the numbers dont lie. Theyll have to thats where the stark reality will be. That proof will be in the pudding. If they want to do something on healthcare and martha all americans would like to see it happen on both fronts. One last question. During the course of impeachment, the president s Approval Rating went up ten points. That would lead to some frustration on the part of those this per sued it for whatever reason. What do you any about that . I saw that gallup pup poll. Its more heavily weighted for republicans now. And the people that decided to go through with impeachment, its not about the polls, its about the truth, this is about finding the truth and this is about making sure that we say article 2 con strains the president. Doesnt mean he can do whatever he wants. So what were talking
