Democrats crying foul over President Trump of the word exoneration for convicted felon and former confidant roger stone, but the president laying out a vision of redemption beyond stone, so is there a vision of trump justice taking place, or is that this something built around political expediency . Weve got analysis from top legal scholar Robert Jordan straight ahead. Welcome to fox news night. Im Kristin Fisher in for Shannon Bream tonight and lets get straight to chief breaking news correspondent Trace Gallagher live in our newsroom with the latest on the democratic race. Good evening to you. More on that breaking news, it appears that bloomberg strategy is and that those in the Democratic Party establishment who believe a Bernie Sanders nomination could be a liability. Political reporting that Michael Bloomberg is trying to convince Democratic Party officials currently aligned with joe biden and other moderates to instead align with him. The goal being in a brokered convention, Party Insiders would deliver the nomination to bloomberg over sanders. We shall see. Meantime, in the water political spin, there apparently are no more losers, meaning a crafty political operative would try to spin the Cleveland Browns into the new england patriots. When the Bloomberg Campaign try to paint last nights debate as a win, it mightve been a bridge too far. For example, critics call bloombergs debate performance data, unprepared, and the worst ever. To fights back, they had to spin and edit. Watch part of what actually happened last night followed by the bloomberg version. Look. Im the only one here whos ever started a business. Is that fair . Okay. I think im the only one who has ever started a business. Is that fair . Having those silent dumbfounded heirs going on for 20 seconds, and bloomberg got pulverized on social media, quoting great job editing. Like you, a total farce but you bombed big time last night and it was glorious. A joe biden spokesperson wrote may be next they can make a deep fake where the mayor actually answers joe bidens question about releasing employees from nondisclosure agreements. Speaking of those ndas, and be seen on reporting that over three decades, 17 women have taken legal action against bloombergs action, none made at the trial. The defense bloomberg used during last nights debate is the same when he used last month on the view. Watch. So have no desire . We had an agreement. We couldnt do it if we wanted to. Incidentally an awful lot of the woman would not want to do that. Maybe its you, but i dont think so. Elizabeth warren who got rave reviews for going after bloomberg during the debate was still at it today. Look. Last night, it was my job that we got a little closer look at mayor bloombergs in order to understand that of all the people standing up there on the stage, he is the riskiest one for the democrats. Hes the most vulnerable in a general election. Democratic president of candidate tom steyer who was not in the debates as the Democratic Candidates spent so much time tearing each other down, he thinks the big winner was donald trump. Steyer of course coming up in a bit. Kristin you wonder what he does different heading and the South Carolina. Thanks so much. Former top advisor roger stone sentenced to more than three years in prison for his case has been at the center of these ongoing tensions between President Trump and his Justice Department, calling a difference of opinions, shall we say, within the department of what the denims and recommendations should be. Legal invader is here with more Leland Vittert is here with more. What side the judge cited with this sentencing . The obama appointee on the bench agreed that career doj prosecutors overstepped when recommending a seven to nine years sentence for trumps disgraced advisor. Puts them on the same side of the attorney general which as we have seen over the past week or so isnt necessarily the same side as the attorney generals boss. The president. Roger stone still cant talk about his case because of a back down the gag order but had a smile leaving court today. A judge sends him to three and a half years, less than half what the government originally asked for. Spoke sternly, at times almost yelling at the notorious trump confidant and dirty tricks operative. This is not campaign hijinks. This is not roger just being roger. He lied to congress, lied to our elected representatives. Roger stone will not be sentenced for who his friends are or who his enemies are. The president thinks its a partisan hit job. I want this to play out. I think thats the best thing to do because id love to see roger exonerated and id love to see it happen because i personally think he was treated very unfairly. The judge compared stones sentence to Scooter Libby who received 30 months lying and obstructing justice lying to Vice President dick cheney. He parted libby in 2018 for democrat adam schiff foreshadowed his response to a possible pardon, tweeting to pardon stone when his crimes were committed to protect trump would be a breathtaking act of corruption. Roger stone and everybody has to be treated fairly. This has not been a fair process, okay . As the president notes, theres more to play out. Stone is free tonight because as attorneys want a new trial. One of the argument centers on the jury is for women who did not disclose social media posts that were critical of the president before being picked. The president weighed in on that all too tonight. The case not looking good for the Justice Department with justice in quotation marks. Kristin thanks. Amid these tangles with the Justice Department and is an attorney general, we are getting a better understanding of the president s views on justice. Any marks before tonights rally, the president try to strike a tone of empathy and redemption where he commuted the sentences of 11 people from robert boyd veg to Rod Blagojevich to crystal munoz who was in prison for 11 years for a marijuana charge. We are a nation that believes and redemption. We believe in second chances. We have thousands of people in prison that have stories like johnson, thousands and thousands of people. I love doing it. You know, you can be poor, you can be a middle income, you can be rich, injustice is injustice. Kristin lets get with roger george, mccormick professor of jurisprudence at princeton university. Professor, what does this we can you about how President Trump may be reshaping the Justice Department . Im not sure hes reshaping the Justice Department. Hes got himself in a little bit of a tiff with his attorney general. His attorney general, of course, a person of incredible stature in the Legal Community and served as attorney general before. As a general matter, i think its a bad idea for the president to get in a tiff with the Justice Department. Of course, what happen as your reporter pointed out is that judge jackson gave a reasonable judicially independent sentence to stone, 40 months very considerably less than what the being called rogue just official 40months in jail is no fun for anybody. Kristin deftly not. The question will be is President Trump going to pardon him in the president is signaling thats exactly what hes going to do. The words he used were very good chance of exoneration for roger stone. In making these kind of comments is what the attorney general said he did not want President Trump to continue to do, so if im bill barr tonight how am i feeling . Well, i think you are concerned that the president will do things that undercut your performance. In fact, the attorney general barr used very strong terms, at one point he said the president is making it impossible for me to do my job. Thats a pretty strong thing to say and i think he would prefer that the president stepped back a bit. The president has a part in power. Its right there in the consultation. He has the executive. He can do that. There are times where its appropriate to do that. Im sure attorney bar doesnt have any objection to him using that power, but he should step back from the stone case and the other cases and let the Justice Department, let the attorney general do their work. Kristin what do you think the possibility is that President Trump ultimately pardons him . The president said he still considering it but at the end of the day do you think President Trump will pardon roger stone . I do. I think the odds are 99 . The question about the possible misconduct by the foreman of the jewelry, the woman that trump himself referenced in his remarks, that misconduct would give a ground for the president to justify a pardon. Kristin take a step back and you look at all of these pardons that President Trump has done over the course of this week. Hes also passed some bipartisan criminal Justice Reform, the first step act. Do you think President Trump is in a way heading into election day trying to seize the mantle of empathy and compassion from democrats . No question hes doing that and i think hes hoping to break into some sectors of the voting public what republicans have historically not done well and where he himself has not been all that popular, especially minority voters. And with some of the pardons he has issued and some he may yet issue, he may actually build some support for himself in minority communities but certainly criminal Justice Reform earned him some points in the Africanamerican Community where injustices have been a big issue for a long time and President Trump went in and did something that obama didnt do, clinton didnt do. Trump i think is playing this in a clinically savvy way which is not to say that he doesnt actually believe in what hes doing, but it certainly helps them politically. Kristin it so interesting because last night before the debates started, a former Obama Press Secretary robert gibbs, he said that she actually use the word empathy. He said, are we going to see an candidate who shows empathy on the stage tonight . We now know that this is one of the bloodiest debates weve seen so far this cycle. So did last night really play into the president s hands . It certainly did not help the democrats. Its fair to say the winner of the denver credit debate last night was donald trump. The democrats seem to be moving themselves in a position where two people who have a significant chance of winning the democratic nomination are an avowed socialist and someone who seems to be playing to the stereotype of a plutocrat. Thats not a good place for a party to have a nominee. You do not want a socialist and you do not want a plutocrat, but they seem to be in the lead. What seems to be uniting the democrats and the only thing uniting the democrats right now is rather extreme social liberalism which creates its own problems with lateterm abortions and so far and so on. Interestingly we might for the first time in a long time see a convention that actually chooses a nominee, a convention that is a convention and not a coronation. Kristin some reports are to be believed, it appears that former mayor Mike Bloomberg might be really trying to push for that kind of brokered convention. I wouldnt be surprised. Kristin professor, thank you very much. President trump trust wrapped up night two of his through rallies in three days swing out west. Tonight, he was in Colorado Springs stumping for the states vulnerable republican Senator Cory Gardner and trying to keep colorado in play 2020. We choke when you was at the rally and joins us live with all the highlights. Hey, alisha. All right. We seem to be having a little bit of trouble with the audio. Ive been to a few rallies at myself and it happens. We will try to get that report when we come back. Coming up, we are going to be examining the debates over the bernie bros.

Why is that a case with your supporters . I dont think thats the case. Thats not true. Kristin fallouts tonight from that moment into the pit where mayor Pete Buttigieg to challenge senator sanders over the behavior of his supporters bred socalled bernie bros have been accused of bullying tactics and Keith Ellison said today, can someone send me an example of a bernie bro being bad, to which republican congressman Steve Scalise who, remember, he was shot nearly killed by a selfdescribed standard supported back in 2017 . He replied, i can think of an example. Lets bring in tonight power panel. Democratic strategist katlyn figaro and reuters correspondent jeff mason. Hard to argue with that respon response. Absolutely tough to argue with that. The only people who are arguing with that and attacking him are anonymous people on twitter. Myself, even working for Bernie Sanders, i think that was really a powerful statement for him to make, to rely how real this can get for a lot of folks who are being driven by the type of toxic environment weve seen on social media. I think a lot of people unfortunately forgot about that incident, that wouldve been great for mayor pete to be great to bring some concrete examples on what actually happened to the congers men. I think that we really should be quiet, those who want to say, what about this happen, what about that, what aboutisms, respect the fact the man lost his almost lost his life, Bernie Sanders has to continue to tell his base and supporters that the stuff acceptable. It surprised that mayor pete did not bring that up. Jeff mason, how big of a problem are the socalled bernie bros for Bernie Sanders . I think some of bernie band down mike sanders opponents want to emphasize it as a problem. If you look broadly at Bernie Sanders performance, hes the front runner, doing extremely well in the polls, did well in iowa and New Hampshire and looking good at the next couple of states coming up. It would be misleading to suggest that the bernie bros are really having a huge impact in terms of tamping down the enthusiasm that people have for him right now. But you saw the criticism on the stage, played the clip of mayor pete, and i expect well probably continue to see more of the Democratic Candidates who are trying to tamper down Bernie Sanders momentum where they continued to raise this issue. Kristin the big headline, of course, from the debate last night was mayor bloomberg just getting a real pummeling from all the other candidates on stage and it really continue today. Listen to Elizabeth Warren, senator Elizabeth Warren, who was on the view today and well get your reaction on the other side. The democrats should not appoint someone who has a history of embracing racially outrageous practices. After his performance tonight, i have no doubt hes about to drop tonight another 100 million. Why would the performance lead to more spending . In order to try to erase americas memory of what happened on the debate stage. Mike bloomberg, drop out of the race beat keep putting your money into a help democrats beat donald trump and take your ego out of this. Kristin jason ranz who was a seattle talk show host joins us now. Thanks for joining the conversation and i will start with you. How much do these attacks from warren on bloomberg, how much do they help her question mike i dont think it really helps her, not in the short term. Kristin everybody said that she had such a great performance last night. She did have a great debate performance. Unfortunately all it did was we can Michael Bloomberg and not actually help a campaign. She is going after the same exact voting base as Bernie Sanders. By not going after Bernie Sanders, i dont know if youve done anything to carve out the amount of support that he has. Shes going to go into nevada this weekend, may be come in at number three, more likely number four, go into South Carolina where shes going to be a distant fourth or fifth. I dont necessarily see what her plan is going to be other than for ten shes no longer sort of further to the left of a Pete Buttigieg or Amy Klobuchar and in a situation where youve got a convention that is going to be brokered, maybe she comes out and says, put me, im not quite as far to the left as Bernie Sanders and im not someone whos trying to buy the election like Michael Bloomberg. Kristin do you think senator warren should have gone on the attack . I was following her and New Hampshire and just talking about how shes the candidate of unity, now we are seeing a different side of her. Is it too little, too later . Its because bloomberg was an easy target. A new kid on the block and a billionaire, the epitome of it all. Let me give it to you straight shot with no chaser. The first disclaimer is i gave her the winter, im a huge Elizabeth Warren fan, but not a there was not a candidate on that stage being accused of Sexual Harassment within the workplace, joe biden was accused of personal touching in peoples us space but senator warren represent incorporations. A company that represented that women were trying to sue for breast implants. At the end of the day, every one of us have an issue with criminal justice and so forth and bloomberg did not do a good job. Im not a spokesperson for bloomberg, just simply stating the facts that not one of them could cast a stone on based on their own record and so its just a really poor performance pay but shout out to her for beating him to a pulp. Clearly she won and we can go back and correct iowa, obviously but we dont even know who won that. We cannot correct New Hampshire. I think it did show her value because she was certainly being erased. Kristin i have a little bit of time left so i want to talk about a little bit of news breaking tonight. The New York Times has a new story out tonight with the headline, russia back trumps reelection and fears democrats will exploit its support. A classified briefing to lawmakers according to the New York Times that angered the president who complained democrats will weaponize the disclosure. Jeff mason, you are a white house correspondent. This is your beat. What are you hearing . Number one, thats not the type of report that President Trump wants to see. Hes on a high right now, doing very well in the polls come out campaigning in a bunch of states will the past week. You have russia coming back with a briefing done by people in his own administration. Obviously, what the briefing said was factual, that something the Congress Wants and needs to know about. He was upset about it and that apparently is one of the reasons why hes swapping out the dni. Kristin perhaps not all that surprising given what russia did in the 2016 election. Jeff mason, callan figaro, jason ranz, thank you so much. Weve got alicia a coup in your back with highlights from th the president s rally cog up. Should the New York Times published an oped by a taliban leader . Will have that after the break. What do you think . I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

Yeah, well its my money were talking about here. Joining us for karaoke later . Ah, id love to, but people get really emotional when i sing. Help from a team that will exceed your expectations. Kristin President Trump was fired up tonight writing make new highs in the polls after a pretty heated democratic debate. Alicia cuneo joining us with all the highlights. President trump really work this crowd for about an hour and 40 minutes tonight, hitting on some of his favorite topics like low unemployment and the economy and now has a new target, the democrats performance at last nights debate starting starting with mayor bloomberg. He wasnt meant for the camera. Do we agree . Wasnt exactly great last night. I think he lost too last night. Probably looks like burning, doesnt it . Looks like crazy bernie. Couldnt breathe alfred e. Neuman looked at her and said something slightly derogatory. Making a reference to when mayor buttigieg press senator klobuchar to recall the name of mexicos president. As part of his western swing, mr. Trump showed support for colorado g. O. P. Senator 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 . Weve got enough problems with south korea, with trade grid on top of that, they give the best movie of the year . I dont 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 negotiates with the taliban, Top Republicans slamming the New York Times forgetting one of the terror groups leaders and platform. Joins us from the new york news room with the story. This is an unprecedented move by an american newspaper and getting a lot of heat, especially senior staff at the paper, so the New York Times published this oped, its called what we, the taliban, want. The deputy leader of the taliban in afghanistan and hes also a wanted terrorist by the u. S. In this piece, said that the withdrawal of Foreign Forces is the talibans first and foremost a man. Accuses american of flipping goalpost when it comes to negotiations for peace. As you can imagine, reading a terrorist demands and complaints in a u. S. Paper did not go over well. House g. O. P. Conference chair liz cheney among those to talk about this, she slammed the New York Times on twitter writing this, i have some questions for the New York Times, since they decided to give the taliban and form to spew garbage, like we did not choose our war, we were forced to defend ourselves and asked, remember 9 11 . Basically referencing the talibans role in giving al qaeda a save hayden in afghanistan. And she questions whether the newspaper paid him for this piece. Thats down the casting doubts on nines portrayal of himself in the taliban by tweeting this, that the piece of haqqani which is independent of our news operations and judgmene fundamental fact that sirajuddin is behind some of the most ruthless attacks of this war. The New York Times has not commented in still waiting for their comments. Kristin thank you so much. Breaking news tonight, mayor Mike Bloomberg may be plotting a brokered convention already. Former billionaire democratic candidate tom steyer is here next. Are where in the world rather, mexicos president under fire after a series of gruesome murders, all female victims. Womens rights activist clashing with police in rick scott city square and are calling for the president to resign. Mexicos reports of them aside are up 25 over the last five years.

Silverado offers an Optional Technology package with up to 15 different views including one enhanced view that makes your trailer appear invisible. Wow. Thats pretty sweet. Thats cool. Oooohh thats awesome. Whered the trailer go . I love it. Its magic. We do things differently and aother money managers, dont understand why. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients. Thats why were a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. So, what do you provide . Cookie cutter portfolios . Nope. We tailor portfolios to our clients needs. But you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right . We dont have those. So, whats in it for you . Our fees are structured so we do better when our clients do better. At Fisher Investments were clearly different. I did not think it was a great look over all for the democrats and i think donald trump stands to gain from that. I thought it was a great night for donald trump. I thought it was a bad night for democrats. Speed of the Democratic Party is likely not going to nominate a democrat, dont nominate a democra how did bloomberg do last night . It wasnt pretty, right . Kristin President Trump declaring victory in last nights democratic debate even though he was not even on the stage and there is a new gallup poll showing for the First Time Since he was sworn in that more americans approve of his Job Performance then disapproved. He is at 49 approval, 48 disapprove. At a comparison, president obamas job removal was at 45 , disapproval at 48 . You believe that President Trump talked about the pole at the rally tonight. Have totally failed. They have been a complete flop. And we need today have the highest poll numbers weve ever had. Today, just came out. Kristin our next guest is trying to qualify for the next debate on tuesday in charleston, South Carolina. Democratic president ial candidate tom steyer joins us now. Thanks so much for staying up so late. You have been up since 3 42 in the morning so we really appreciate it. Nice to talk to you. Kristin thanks for being on. Lets start with who you think won the debate. I know you are not onstage, but who do you think won . I think the people are saying donald trump won the debate are saying the truth. I think the democrats on the stage were so busy attacking each other that they forgot that the actual job is to tell the American People how we are going to do a better job for them than donald trump can do. Why what hes saying is untrue about the economy, hes actually doing a terrible job as a steward of the american economy, and really pulling together the Democratic Coalition that has to show up in november if we are going to beat mr. Trump. Kristin would you have attacked Mike Bloomberg if you were standing on that stage last night . Ive been saying, i listen to that debate and i wondered which party might bloomberg thought he was talking to. Its very hard if you are running as a democrat to explain stop and frisk. Its very hard for redlining for banks, and its hard to explain the speech at the republican National Committee in 2004 supporting th the i think he was at a tough st and was in a high speed because he had a lot of things in his past very hard to reconcile leading to the Democratic Party. Kristin are you surprised that the dnc change the rules enough to allow Mike Bloomberg on the stage but not you . They change the rules to prevent me from getting on the stage because actually im in second or third place in nevada. The last poll i saw had me at 19 , i met second or third place in South Carolina. The last two states i had where i was at 20 . Actually, there were no qualifying polls that would let me get on that stage and in fact im somebody who spent time on the ground, talking to people in South Carolina putting together the kind of Diverse Coalition that its going to take, not just to win the democratic nomination, not just to represent the diverse Democratic Party with black people and latinos and asianamericans and native americans as well as white people, but to bring the coalition bringing up the polls to beat mr. Trump. Kristin the real clear politics average has you in third place in South Carolina and you are in a surprisingly strong positions, some might say, in South Carolina. Want to read you something in the Associated Press just yesterday. It says, steyers aggressive courtship of black voters in the state has put him in a specially strong position that could seize support from former Vice President joe bidens that could create a lane to undercut bidens case that South Carolina will be his electoral firewall pair the Bloomberg Campaign says that unless you and others drop out, burning wins. Any chance you drop out . I think im the princeton, kristin, who can unite the Democratic Party. I think i am the person i spent a ton of time on the ground talking to people in South Carolina and we have the Biggest Group of people doing doortodoor grassroots work of annie in South Carolina. I think i can attract the coalition of black people, a collection that includes latinos, include a coalition as well as working people and working white people. The two things i think its going to take and im going to show this in nevada saturday and in South Carolina a week from saturday, its going to pull together as a party and take on mr. Trump on the economy. Kristin weve got a few seconds left. I have to ask you about the new report which says the Bloomberg Campaign is plotting a brokered convention strategy. What do you think of it . I think thats way too early. I think, in fact, we just started this process. I think we are going to come together around somebody. I think that somebody is going to be me and the party is going to pull together the coalition, the biggest coalition in america and show up in november and beat mr. Trump handily. Kristin tom steyer, thank you so much for staying with us. Good luck getting on the debate stage next week. Thank you so much, kristin. Kristin President Trump wants to put a woman on the moon by 2024. Will democrats try to stop him . The next nasa administrator joins us next. It replenishes the moisture in your mouth. Biotene definitely works. [heartbeat] tits great actually, ive been listening to audible. Its audiobooks, news, meditations. Gotta go hey you know, i do think its weird youve started commuting when you work from home. Ill be in my office. Download audible and start every day off right. Kristin there is a lot of talk about tensions between the United States and russia on earth and our elections, but right now a potential confrontation between the two countries looming in space. Im not talking about a fight over the moon. Two weeks after this Russian Rocket launch into space last november, the spacecraft that was carrying took the global space industry by surprise when it suddenly split into two. But to russian satellites did something even more unexpected. They began trailing a multibillion dollar u. S. Spy satellite, at times flying within a hundred miles of it which is nothing in outer space. Russia has been developing and decide weapons for some time in the fear is is trying to inspect or photograph where potentially even disable a u. S. National security satellite. All this confirmed by the u. S. Military, the first time its publicly identified a direct threat to a specific american satellite by an adversary. General john rayman, the head of the new space force told Time Magazine which broke the story that we view this behavior unusual and disturbing, it has the potential to create a dangerous situation in space. Its clear that russia is developing on orbit capabilities that seek to exploit our reliance on the spacebased systems that fuel our american way of life, a way of life that relies on satellites every day for gps navigation, communication, financial transactions, and military reconnaissance. Today, Vice President mike pence met with general rayman and the rest of the spaceports leadership at Peterson Air Force base. Details were not disclosed, but its precisely threats like the one posed by the pair of russian satellites that the Trump Administration says is why the u. S. Needed if space force. Kristin in addition to it establishing a space force, the Trump Administration trying to spaceguard american dominance in space with a new program called artemis. The goal to return american astronauts, a man and a woman, to the moon by 2024 and the man tasked with making that happen is nasa administrator Jim Bridenstine who joins us now. Jim, thank you for joining us and i have to start with this new Budget Proposal from the white house. You have to be pretty happy about it. Its a 2. 7 billion increase for nasa, but a budget is just a recommendation. Congress still has to approve it. To that point, i want to share with you something that was written in the hell , an oped. Getting back the money to accomplish this feat. Do you think that you and the rest of the administration can get democrats on board to find that the Artemis Program . Weve seen bipartisan support for the Artemis Program. I did an event with the speaker of the house nancy pelosi out in san francisco, it was a womens equality event. One of the key features of the event was that we need to go to the moon and we need to go with all of america and that includes women. Thats why we call the program artemis. Artemis in greek mythology is the twin sister of apollo which 50 years after the Apollo Program we are still celebrating. I believe this program established by President Trump has strong bipartisan support. Weve seen it, we felt it. We saw it in the last budget request, and now it got funded. And now we are moving forward to the 2021 budget and this is the biggest budget nasa has ever had in nominal dollars but in real dollars, its still slightly behind apollo. This is an amazing front up for the purpose of going to the moon sustainably and on to mars. Kristin there is definitely bipartisan support but i want to bring this concern from congressman kendra horn, chair of the house subcommittee on aeronautics and space and she says, the devil is in the details.
