republican tsunami come november. and joe biden's moment of truthful his campaign that get house on winning big. for the latest opinion poll has bad news for the former vice president and good news for bernie sanders. we begin with fears of a global coronavirus. officials say it is only a matter of time before it spreads to the u.s. the only question is how many will be infected and how many will die? the effects to keep it from spreading from mainland china have failed. >> the difficulty is that other countries besides china are now having community spread. we're seeing it in italy, in japan, we're seeing in it south korea and iran.

when that happens, it becomes ever more difficult to prevent it from coming into your country. >> none of the krass if san francisco. the city's mayor has declared a state of emergency. the u.s. president seems to be down playing the threat posed. but as jerry diamond reports, what the president is saying behind closed doors is very different from his public statements. >> reporter: sources telling cnn that president trump has privately expressed frustration about his administration's efforts to contain the coronavirus epidemic even as he attempts on project confidence publicly. >> i think that's a problem that will go away. >> reporter: president trump's optimistic note cops even as officials warn cases will rise in the united states. >> i think that whole situation

will start working out. a lot of talent. a lot of brain power is being put behind it. >> reporter: but sources tell cnn, behind the scenes, the president is not so confident in that brain power and is upset that americans who tested positive for coronavirus were quarantined in the united states. and that his administration plans to quarantine some patients in the pro trump state of alabama. >> he was completely under aware of this. he was annoyed that these individuals had even been brought back to the continental united states while they were still infected. >> reporter: the president's frustrations reflecting a growing concern in the white house that the viral outbreak will be a bigger challenge than previously thought. recent outbreaks in italy, south korea and iran hiking global cases to 80,000 and triggering fears the disease could become a pandemic. >> this is a rapidly escalating epidemic many different places we have to tackle super fast to prevent a pandemic.

>> weeks after lawmakers called for more funding, the white house finally asking congress for $1.25 billion in emergency funds to build out a $2.5 billion federal effort. for some lawmakers on capitol hill, it was too little too late. >> the administration noose plan to deal with the coronavirus. no plan. the trump administration is trying to build an airplane while already in mid flight. >> if you low ball something like this, you'll pay for it later. i hope the administration will look at this as something that they cannot afford to let get out of hand. period. >> reporter: bipartisan outrage grew as administration officials fielded questions on capitol hill. >> you're supposed to keep us safe. the american people deserve some straight answers on the coronavirus. and i'm not getting them from you. >> i disagree. >> reporter: cnn, the white

house. >> deny sis an infectious disease he expert and the director of the emerging threats division. he is with us from washington. thank you for taking time to be with us. i guess at this point, if anything, the u.s. government had a response team within the white house. a group of experts working off the viral emergencies before we get to the edge of an epidemic. and you helped design the group. jut as the coronavirus was emerging, the whole thing was shut down. so the timing couldn't be worse. as they put it, trump has sabotaged america's coronavirus response. how do you see it? >> well, the coronavirus response, first off, has the predictable event. we knew eventually there would be an event, a coronavirus and influenza that would pose exactly this problem. and for years, there is been a

significant effort to put in place a kind of preparedness capability that's would make us toward respond for events like this. kr cdc has a preparedness plan for what local communities can do. the challenge has been significant reduction main resources. it is one thing to have a plan. it is another to put that plan into execution. and you don't execute a plan in the midst of a pandemic. you run it beforehand. make sure everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. and the actual response is almost a muscle memory response. we're not in that position now. and i think a lot of that has to do with the contraction of

investments and resources under this current administration. >> three weeks ago, just before the super bowl, president trump told fox news the virus in his words was under control and being shut down. a similar question came up again during a news conference in new delhi and again, president trump seemed to play down the threat. here he is. >> the coronavirus which is very well under control in our country. we have very few people with it. people are getting better. they're all getting better. >> there's an obvious line between trying to calm an anxious nation and then on the other, underestimating the threat level. it seems, is the president underestimating the threat here? >> reporter: well, i think there is a clear underestimation in his words. the rule for public health response is that you pray for the best and plan for the worst.

and you try and anticipate what the consequences of an event like this might be. and clearly, the event in china over the last month and a half have led to us believe that we're sitting on the cusp of a global event. the chinese have performed extraordinary, in terms of slowing the spread of this virus. and we should be thankful that in fact we've had an extra month to put in place preparedness plans for what is really an inevitable global event. and i think what we heard and the clip that you just played was there are people outside the global health community who don't appreciate just how valuable this extra time is and how valuable it is to be able to put in place the kind of preparedness response that's are needed. >> the white house has asked

congress for an extra $2.5 billion in funding to respond to the virus. and that's criticism for both republicans and democrats. senator blumenthal tweeted out, this morning's briefing should have been made fully open to the american people. they would be as appalled and astonished as i am by the inad gassy of preparedness and prevention. >> it is clear this administration is in total disarray when it comes to the crisis of the coronavirus. at the same time, larry kudlow said it is contained and cdc said it will spread. the question is when. there is no plan. the administration has no plan. >> i guess the big crucial question is, is there a plan? are they ready? not just to deal with this emergency at home but crucially,

take a lead in a global response. that's what is needed at this point, right? >> absolutely. i think what we're hearing in the various reports that you're showing is that there is an absolute concern. that we are not ready as a nation. certainly at the political level have the kind of leadership and the planning to be able to respond to this kind of event. both in terms of what is required to minimize the impact of this virus domestically, but we're also part of a global community. and as potentially significant impact that this may have in the united states, there are regions in the world where this impact will be orders of magnitude greater. they have far less resilience, health systems far less capable and we have a responsibility as a nation to be able to provide

leadership to assist and put in place the kind of support that will minimize the impact in these countries. not just countries but regions where we've seen civil wars and disorders. and we've not seen the kind of leadership from this administration to provide a global response, a preparedness response from the world. >> this is a question i hear from a lot of people. how bad will this get? >> we don't know. the truth is, we're concerned bust there is more about this virus we don't understand than we do. >> doctor, we have to leave it there. thank you for your time. thank you for coming in and we appreciate your insights and your work up until this point. >> i appreciate the opportunity. thank you very much. >> fears of a global pandemic continue to rattle the stock market. tuesday saw another big fall on wall street. the dow tumbled almost 900 points and that comes after the

1,000 drop on monday. in the midst of the sell-off, the white house tried to reassure investors. >> we have contained, this i won't say air tight but pretty close to air tight. we've done a good job in the united states. i don't think it will be an economic tragedy at all. >> trading is underway right now in asia. it was a rough start to the week for some markets. our reporter is live in tokyo. what's the headline so far today? >> reporter: well, the equity markets still believe that the coronavirus is going to wreak hafb on economies around the world. the equity markets in asia pretty much lower across the board with the exception of shanghai which has been trading pretty much around yesterday's closing levels. granted, the losses are not as steep as we saw yesterday. the nikkei is closing the day down 22,426, and we're seeing

weakness in other parts of asia as well. i think they're battling two fronts. one is the health risk. two, the economic fallouts and people are very concerned with the fact rift world, china, basically shut down in many parts of the region, and demand drawing up because of the lockdown and the spread going through not just asia but now to european cities, iran, far flung places, might trigger a downturn in check growth worldwide. and people are concerned. many economists before this outbreak going into 2020 were on the brink of recession. i mentioned japan in particular. negative growth in the final three months of the year. people are concerned if japan doesn't get up and running soon, it could technically fall back into recession. we're also seeing companies at the their employees to basically stay at home. the governor staying next two weeks will be critical. if people are staying home, what does that mean for check growth

in major cities like tokyo? >> thank you. live for us in tokyo. the first known case of the coronavirus among u.s. service members has been reported with an american soldier in south korea testing positive. what more do we know at this point? >> reporter: well, we know this individual is a 23-year-old male, according to u.s. forces korea. he was based at camp carroll about, 20 kilometers away. that is the key area of south korea in the southeast of the country that we're looking at. that was where the majority of the cases are. where the religious group at the heart of the spike in numbers is as well. so we know that did he visit another base and then went back to his existing base. he is now in quarantine at an

offbased residence. clearly there is going to be an active effort now to try to track down exactly who he was in contact with. that's what u.s. forces are trying to do. to make sure they can prevent if possible any further spread. the alert level is at its highest point for south korea. and we know from three u.s. officials, that the u.s. and south korea's military shortly will be announcing they will have to scale back some upcoming military drills that will be happening shortly. they say it is just too challenging and too difficult for both militaries to be able to function as normal at this point. so we're expecting that to be any time as well. on the south korean military side, 18 soldiers have been confirmed to have the virus on that side. and of course, the fact of the military is they are living in close quarters. it is a barracks situation which is why there is such concern

here. >> thank you, live with the very latest on that case. the u.s. service member. the number of confirmed cases globally is now approaching 81,000. more than 2,700 have died. the vast majority are in mainland china. notably, it continues to spread with new cases detected every day around the world. algeria and several you're penal countries are confirming their first cases. beyond china, south korea has the largest outbreak with more than 1100. and italy and iraq, the new he said centers of the virus in europe and the middle east. iran's deputy health minister with the latest case. he tested positive after appearing on television monday. he was clearly not well and clearly not wearing a face to c shouting match as democrats clashed in south carolina. the candidate with the biggest bull's-eye on his back, the

the gloves were off, the claws came out and they debated like their hearts and dreams, their very futures were on the line. the democratic debate quickly became a shouting match among seven presidential candidates. the stakes could not be higher with south carolina's primary saturday. super tuesday next week when 14 states will vote. it seems everyone hates the front-runner, bernie sanders. he took brunt of the attack. >> if you think the last four years has been chaotic, divisive, toxic, exhausting, imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders versus donald trump. >> i am scared. if we cannot pull this party together, if we go to one of those extremes, we take a terrible risk of re-electing donald trump. >> if we spent the next four months tearing our party apart, we're going to watch donald trump spend the next four years

tearing our country apart. >> this is cnn's senior analyst. good to see you. so here's how sanders respond the to the consistent attack line that his nomination would mean disaster for congress is that in state houses across the country. >> of the last 50 polls that have been done nationally, mr. bloomberg, i beat trump 47 of those 50 types. if you look at battleground states like michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania, ever -- >> the polls aren't the election. >> i beat trump of the. >> so opinion polls are reflective of a particular moment in time. is that an effective counter argument from sanders? is that enough? >> to a point. there is a circular logic here. this was first debate in this cycle, and really, going back to

the 2016 race. the first debate where we began to get a serious examination of the potential vulnerabilities bernie sanders would bring to the table as general election nominee. we heard debate about his praise for castro and other left wing autocratic governments. we heard about whether he'll be effective in washington. we began to get some debate with the extraordinary cost of his agenda which adds up somewhere between 50 and $60 trillion over the next decade. a doubling of the budget, something that has never happened in peace time. we begin to get all of those aired. the problem is they've not been fully aired. certainly not the way the republicans will air them if he is the nominee. so it is a huge question whether the polls are the best case scenarios or can show a durable

race. >> this is first time, in particular about the castro regime. here he is, responding to pete buttigieg. >> where dictatorships, whether it is the chinese or the cubans do something good, you acknowledge that. >> we're not going to win these critical house and senate races if people in those races have to explain why the nominee of the democratic party is telling people to look at the bright side of the castro regime. >> and so to your point, how will he explain it? in the '70s, he was going for nationalization of industry. >> how about now? as i say, he is calling for doubling the size of the federal government. he put out, he handed chris cuomo a document last night at the cnn town hall in which he

identified $30 trillion in new taxes which doesn't even cover all of his new spending but would be the largest peace time tax increase. something approaching the level of revenue increase we had during world war ii as a share of the economy. his current agenda includes banning fracking, the sale of the internal combustion engine in ten years, only electric cars will be allowed to be sold. the federal government taking over all electricity production. eliminating private health insurance. there is a lot here and it is extraordinary to me. i've been stunned all year that he has risen through fall and nonof the other democrats have really challenged him until tonight taflt point where it may be too late to keep film amassing a lead in delegates. >> well, joe biden is having a moment of truthful he went out to sanders on gun control.

>> joe has voted for terrible trade agreements. no, no, no, no, no. joe voted for the war in iraq. my point was, not to be, i have cast thousands of votes including bad votes. that was a bad vote. >> so gun control issue a key issue for democrat voters. the castro attack, on socialism, they didn't seem the stick. so this debate was all about slowing sanders's momentum. you feel that it didn't work. he still has the momentum and he has a good chance of wrapping this up next week. >> i don't know about wrapping it up. the debate was a terrible debate. the moderation wasn't good. it was not a great night for cbs. they kept getting in the waste candidates when they twoonlth engage. it was disjoinlth, chaotic and

that prevented any of the lines of attack from being a mistake or searing as we you a last week had elizabeth warren spoke out. it is the first time they've heard about some of these vulnerabilities for sanders. certainly it laid down lines. the question is why did it take this long and is this too late to prevent him from establishing a substantial lead. it is worth noting that even post his wins in new hampshire and nevada, i believe there is only one state poll that has him higher than 25%. it is not like the party is falling down and throwing rose petals in front of him. what does that remind you of? obviously the early stages of the 2016 republican race when donald trump had the same

morality. not the front-runner. >> which is why so many are saying that. he seemed more sure footed this time. he came one a very bizarre line in the middle of this debate. here it is. >> i am really surprise that had all of these, my fellow contestants up here, would be the right word for it given nobody pays attention to the clock. i'm surprised they show up. i would have thought after i did such a good job beating them last week, they would be a little afraid to do that. >> is bloomberg getting the best campaign advice? >> well, you know, he has a brilliant campaign in terms of the advertising they're running and the organization they're building bust there's only so much you can do with the clay that you have. and his, someone said to me, his best moments in this debate were the 30 second ads that ran during the commercials. i think it is interesting. the the two debates, he was

better tonight than last week. i think there's too much in his record to ever imagine him being accepted as the presidential nominee. it is exactly right. the core of the party isn't going to trust someone who has been a republican for most of his life who has the background. despite all the admirable things he's doing over the last decade or so, hard to imagine him being the nominee at the end. he still has a role to play. the question now may be whether the moderates combine between them and prevent sanders from reaching a majority of delegates or getting close enough where it is inevitable. they can find some way to come together. that may be the best they can hope for. and in such a world, bloomberg can be such an asset. >> it is confusing right now. one of the great mysteries, who will end up with it.

japan for four years and i've covered so many olympic stories. i've seen the blood, sweat and tears and thes about, he knows the of billions of dollars japan has put into the olympics. if you would say is there any chance japan would allow the olympics to be postponed or moved, i would say it would take nothing short of a zombie apock limits. we've now learned the coronavirus has claimed a fifth or sixth line in japan. these are all japanese citizens. five people -- six people have been killed. that just came in minutes ago. the way they handled the diamond princess quarantine situation has not given people a lot of faith in the japanese authority. when you talk about the olympics supposed to start at the end of the july, and you have people from 200 countries flying into tokyo in very close quarters,

hundreds of thousands, altogether, co-mingling, that's like the diamond princess on steroids. steroids, no, this is doping free. but clearly this is a serious situation. the international olympic committee is trying to assure people plans are moving forward for safe games. this is what they said. tloek continue to collaborate with all organizations monitoring infectious diseases and will review any counter measures. the rest is speculation. they're talking about that because of a member of ioc who clearly raise someday concerns and said by the end of may, they could have to make a call about whether to keep the gaming here or come up with another plan. they have not had to cancel the summer olympics cynic word war two, john. so this is a very big deal but thls a very big health crisis. right now it is all changing by the day west just don't have the toonls what will happen.

joe biden's bid for the white house is a make or break this saturday in south carolina. a new poll has the former vice president leading 27%. bernie sanders though on 23%. not far behind. the billionaire businessman tom steyer comes in with 13%. buttigieg, warren, and amy klobuchar are all in single digits. the new pole has sanders overtaking biden with afternoon voters. ryan nobles explains that is a key change from when sanders ran four years ago. >> this time senator bernie sanders is taking a different approach. after he struggled to get broad support in his primary battle with hillary clinton four years ago.

how is your campaign different in 2016 than it is now reaching out? >> good questions. we're much more diverse. that's the simple answer. we have hundreds of la teen. >> that concerted effort already yielding results. >> my god there are a lot of people here tonight. the minority vote in nevada helped in the caucuses there. still entrance showed trailing joe biden by 10 points among black voters. here in south carolina, even the skeptics have noticed a change. >> he's done a splendid job of outreach go to the african-american community. >> in 2016 sanders lost south carolina to clinton by nearly 50 points. getting trounced among black voters by nearly 70 points. the latest polls show him in

striking distance of the former vice president. some voters who may not have considered him if 2016 are keeping an open mind this time around. >> i like that he's honest. >> sanders is investing time. meeting with black leaders. addressing specific concerns with the african-american community and sharing his own story of participating in a civil rights movement. sanders has surrounded himself with prominent black leaders and activists and even celebrities who spent monday stumping for sanders in south carolina. >> our mission is to make people aware of what he stands for. that he has their best interests at heart. >> while sanders has made gains know black leaders like marsha fudge say there is still more work to do. >> black people, we're pretty conservative. we're pretty moderate people.

we're looking for someone who we think is more center left handle the far left. >> because of his poor performance four years ago, the sanders campaign didn't expect bernie sanders would have a chance to win this time around. because of these significant inroads he's making, they're now starting to think differently. tom end, the campaign is investing in his presence, expanding the ad buy across the entire state, putting in some $500,000 effort. while he will travel before the vote on saturday, he is adding events in south carolina as well. hoping to pull off an upset. cnn. charleston, south carolina. >> the director of the center at the university of virginia, larry, as always, good to see you. quickly, the democrat debate tuesday night, let's all beat up on bernie, as it is known, sanders is clearly the front-runner. he is clearly the punching bag. it was the first time he had to

answer so many of the same questionsful will this have any impact on the final result in south carolina? >> i think it will have a little impact of these debates throughout this whole process. this is the tenth one. they've actually had some impact on the process. this one, it is hard to believe that it wouldn't hurt sanders a bit with at least the moderates that he continues to attract to vote for him. i don't think they know about his history in foreign policy. but he was lucky. i don't think there was a sustained attack that went from four or five candidates after the first piece of the debate. and bloomberg as always was there to take more than his share of the arrows. >> let's take a look, a close look at that poll which has sanders closing in on joe biden in south carolina. obviously, there is the big one for biden. the news for biden keeps getting worse. on the question of commitment and loyalty. one in three biden supporters say they would consider voting

for another candidate. among sanders supporters, just over one in ten. among those 32 voted early, seven in ten, they strongly supported hip. while biden still leads among black voters, 19% backing tom steyer. so those numbers show that sanders has this committed loyal enthusiastic group of supporters. for biden, even if he wins the primary, it won't be anything like hillary clinton's land slide four years ago. and right now a close win for biden in south carolina might as well be a loss, right? >> absolutely. if this is a squeaker, a point or two, i don't think biden can claim it as win. after all, he's been way ahead for a year's worth of polling in south carolina. he who is the win about winning closely, much less losing. i think steyer has really hurt biden. he's moved up, into the upper

teens. most of his votes are mod rad votes from biden rather handle the sanders. >> i guess all of this explains why biden has stepped up his attacks on bernie sanders. take a look. >> when we rally together to defend our president, and all the progress he made, they had his back. he had his back. and you had his back. but back in washington, there was one guy with another plan. >> i think it would be a good idea if our president face some primary opposition. >> bernie sanders was seriously thinking about challenging our first african-american in a primary. >> now sanders says back in 2012, he was focused on being reelected as senator for vermont. he said he was always not obama supporter. the biden problem will not be fwixd a few attack ads on bernie sanders. >> that's absolutely correct. i do think some african-american voters were very dedicated to

president obama, won't like what they've heard. and remember the key part of. ad was in bernie sanders's own voice. and it's true, i don't think he ever made a statement that he was thinking about primary obama. he was looking for someone to do and it that's almost as bad in the eyes of obama supporters. we're at the end. and people have had a thousand messages thrown at them from the major candidates. i don't think there are p.m. people left to change their minds. there are people left to attract in the polls. that's what the candidates are really trying to do. >> two weeks ago, a surging bernie sanders, that was good news for the billionaire michael bloomberg. then he opened his mouth and things didn't go so well for mr. bloomberg. so now democrats are freaking pout a self-described democratic socialist could be the party's nominee for president. rahm emanuel, the white house

chief of staff. >> is there panic in the democratic process right now? >> i would say panic would be the adjective to describe the mood right now. >> should there be? >> yeah, sure. this is a consequential election. you don't want to make a mistake. personally, i'm friendly with senator sanders. i'm not a fan of the politics. i think it will lead to an electoral defeat. >> this is how democracy works, right? if the voters go for bernie, then he who gets most support gets the nomination. didn't dnc learn anything when they put the thumb on the scale for hillary clinton? >> no. that's the very short answer. they didn't learn much from it and they need to remember, a lot of criticism from sanders is simply going to be replayed in trump ads in the fall. if indeed sanders is the nominee. >> with that in mine, we'll finish up in the words of mitch

mcconnell. >> when the democrats back in 1980 were all pulling for ronald reagan to be the nominee because they thought he would be the easiest to beat. i think republicans speculating about which democratic candidate for president would be the easiest to beat may be a bit foolish. >> mcconnell has a point in some ways. if you look at the diagram with trump supporters in one and bernie sanders supporters in the other, it could be either way which we've seen over the years. and there is a concern, if bernie is nominated, it will be a rout. how do you see it? >> i don't think it will be a wipeout. we have strong partisan polarization. and most democrats, particularly blue states, will end up voting for any democratic nominee. they are not going to do anything that would get donald

trump reelected. so it won't be like mcgovern in 1972, losing 14 states to nixon. i think that some of the democrats who are elected if 2018 in suburban districts are very concerned. bernie sanders is not their kind of candidate. and they don't want to spend the fall running away from sanders. they want to run toward the democratic nominee. >> good point. good to see you. >> thank you. still to come, at the house of mouse in china, it is as quiet as a mouse. the coronavirus keeping the crowds at home and hitting disney's bottom line. and here we have another burst pipe in denmark. if you look close... jamie, are there any interesting photos from your trip? ouch, okay. huh, boring, boring, you don't need to see that. oh, here we go. can you believe my client steig had never heard of a home and auto bundle or that renters could bundle? wait, you're a lawyer?
