small-cap growth box, or not. i don't know, it had a great year last year. [closing bell rings] liz: david waddle, president of waddell and associates. the dow, too close to call. that will do it for the claim man "countdown." melissa: record territory on wall street. all major averages hitting all-time highs at some point today as the rate of new coronavirus cases in china is slowing. the dow looks like it will close about flat on the session. it was in the red. now it is up a tiny fraction, off session highs though after boeing reported zero commercial plane sales in january, following the grounding of the 737 max. the s&p 500 and nasdaq both in the green, marking new record closes for those two for the second day. i'm melissa francis in new york. this is "after the bell." hey, connell. connell: hello, melissa, i'm

connell mcshane reporting live from bedford new hampshire. voting is underway in the first of the nation presidential primary. the polls begin closing about three hours from now. here in new hampshire, anything can and sometimes does happen. so bernie sanders, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar. elizabeth warren, all of those candidates today have been in the state, literally fighting for every single last vote but joe biden? the former vice president is leaving here tonight. heading early to the state of south carolina, he won't be here when the results come in. one of many stories we're following. we'll have much more on the race in new hampshire throughout the program but we begin with these all-time highs on wall street, at least for the s&p and nasdaq. our panel today, gary kaltbaum, kaltbaum capital management. we're joined by liz peek, columnist for foxx news.com. both gary, liz are fox news contributors. working in politics where i am in a moment. but the market, liz, not any

huge movement today. in fact looks like the dow will settle fractionally lower if anything. there is not much they can really keep it down in a significant way, whether coronavirus one day. politics, the federal reserve chairman. seem like the market wants to go up, or at least not go down. what do you make of things? >> all depends on earnings. it it depends on growth and consumer. all the information we have gotten over last couple weeks have confirmed the jobs market is incredibly robust. earnings are coming in pretty well. they did for the first quarter. earnings expectations and by the way, gdp growth estimates are rising for this year. i think once again we're sort of looking at better news coming in than was expected. against everything else, that is really what's key. i think that is what is driving the market. connell: now i said i would work in a little bit on the political side, gary because of where i am. we don't even know frankly what will happen here in

new hampshire. you're welcome. tonight, or do we know at this point hot democratic nominee will be all that, if you look at what is likely, polls, betting markets, most likely democratic nominee, senator bernie sanders, a democratic socialist. i don't know if investors factoring that in, thinking about what that might mean. have you, and if we were to get that far? >> everyone of his policies goes against what i think this country is about and what corporate america is about, and freedom is about, not government taking over everything is about. that is what i think he is about. the worry is, markets will reflect. i think they will eventually. we've had moments in time where i watched managed care stocks, hmos get destroyed because of something he said. this is definitely something to watch. i can promise you if he is the nominee on that side there will be industries you will see haircuts in the markets. i'm not sure which, i'm not sure when. but i expect it. melissa: democrats targeting

amazon. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are among the 15 democratic senators who are calling on jeff bezos to, among other things, publish reports on workers injuries. meanwhile, amazon saying, why don't you come take a tour? liz, what do you think about this one? >> i think amazon has become the walmart of 10 or 15 years ago. this is the company that everyone has set their sights on for unionization. the company has 300,000 workers in the united states. no unions. is a perennial target of left-leaning politicians because they think union membership is going to help them and they think it is, the panacea for workers across mechanic whose wages have lagged over the last couple of decades. amazon, just for the record, is paying everyone in the company at least $15 an hour. that is their internal minimum wage. melissa: right. >> they provide incredible benefits. also training. one of the things amazon has

gone out to do, take a huge swath of their employees, provide worker training and also free tuition to various kinds of schooling this is really not a company that should be targeted the problem is it is big, profitable and they don't pay much in taxes. >> they enable a lot of small businesses and mom-and-pops to exist. they go on and sell products through amazon. amazon helps them deliver with a marketplace. amazon reaches almost everyone from a consumer perspective too. sometimes i wonder when politicians go after amazon, they may not realize how many fans they have. liz, hang on one second. we have earnings coming in right now from lyft. let's go to susan li who is reporting. susan: much stronger quarter than expected, melissa. first time in lyft's history they crossed a billion dollars in revenue in one single quarter. topping estimates on top-line

sales. estimates coming in 1.07 billion. estimates for 91.84 million. much narrower lost than expected. analysts looking for something closer to a buck 39. much healthier margins here. guidance better than anticipated. first quarter of 2020, lyft guiding us for a range. i will explain why they're guiding for a specific range, another billion quarter for them. 1.055 billion, to 1.06 billion. estimates were calling for something closer to 1.046. that is a beat. also for the full year in 2020. >> they said we're looking for 4.57 billion in sails. maybe 4.65 billion. better than what analysts were looking for. i got of the call with the cfo brian roberts of lyft. he is telling us they will like uber did last week, get to profitability earlier than 2021. he won't put a specific quarter to it.

expect them to get to profitability this year in 2020. he says that our focus is on profitable growth. i think entire industry is focused on profit growth which we think is really healthy. i asked him about ab5 quickly. this is very important to the gig economy players like lyft and uber. we believe the drivers classify as independent contractors. it is important to have control when and how they work. we have 100% focused having a measure that protects drivers flexibility. lyft like uber is bringing forward their expectations for finally making money outside of the expenses. back to you. melissa: susan, thank you for that. reading the pulse of the economy, federal reserve chair jerome powell testifying today, facing tough questions from lawmakers. go to fox business's edward lawrence on capitol hill with the latest. edward? reporter: melissa, one of the big things he is watching the coronavirus very closely. he says there has been minimal impact on the u.s. economy so

far. but the chinese economy had a impact. there is concern it could spill over globally. one very interesting point that came out of the testimony today, is that when asked what the most important risk to financial stability for the u.s. is, powell says it is cyberattacks. he said that he never really gets that fully comfortable feeling that we are fully protected from hackers. >> you know the thing that which worry about a lot is cyberattacks. i think we have a great gameplan for traditional you know, issues lake bad loans and things like that. it is more cyberattacks. really the frontier where you worry. we work very, very hard on that. all the agencies do. we all work together. the institutions themselves work really hard. that i would say is a major focus. reporter: powell testified the u.s. economy is in a very good place. he indicated that the fed will be on the sidelines for 2020 unless the data coming in changes. now one thing very interesting with all of this, today one of

the members of the squad, ayanna pressley, the representative from massachusetts, actually may have come down on the same side as president donald trump. listen to this. >> when more americans have jobs today if the fed had not increased rates over the past three years? >> i don't know, we're at 50-year low. it is a fair question. reporter: the federal reserve chairman had to think about it just a little bit. maybe president donald trump and st. louis federal reserve president jim bullard were right in 2018. the president tweeted about all of this. i will read one of the tweets. i will read part of it. they don't have a feel for the market. they don't understand trade wars this is a tweet from december 2018, after raising rates four times in 2018. the fed has cut rates three times in 2019. now on the sidelines. back to you, melissa. melissa: edward, thank you. back to cornell -- connell in

new hampshire. connell: thank you, melissa. we'll talk about the race. the voters are deciding in the state of new hampshire as we speak. senator bernie sanders is looking to win the democratic primary just as he did in the year 2016. he is leading in the pre-election polls with former south bend, indiana, mayor pete buttigieg. giving him a run for his money as he did last week in the state of iowa. chris wallace kind enough to join us here in new bed bored. >> this is not wall street. this is new hampshire. this is what you need to wear. i've been doing this since 1980. connell: you have seen a few. >> i have seen a few. connell: what story lines stand out to you? >> there are two big stories we know about. others may surprise us. i think almost certain bernie sanders is going to win. that is a big story. given the fact that he basically, it is a little bit sketchy but appears to have won iowa and is going to win new hampshire and is now leading in three national polls, not

joe biden. bernie sanders is front-runner for the nomination at this point. connell: remind me a little of 2016, if you agree, we were talking about the never trump candidate if someone would emerge to take on president trump and never really did head-to-head. talking about voters, we'll play a little bit of this, reacting sangers voters, they love him. other voters are seem to be looking for alternative to sanders. listen from new hampshire. >> i am thinking about, speaking with this woman here, we're thinking mostly about our kids, the future what is in store for them. i think there are a lot of problems in this country need to be fixed and i think pete is the go-go i to do it. connell: you don't really want to vote for bernie sanders. why is that. >> no. frankly i think i don't want to be age it i think he is too old. connell: he is too old to be president, period. >> i think he is really far to the left.

and he his message, he has been out there for a long time. it is an insane message. connell: that woman gets to the electability argument. he is too far to the left. is there a never bernie candidate quote, that could emerge after new hampshire? >> there are several. i don't think a single one emerges after new hampshire. but you've got buttigieg. you have klobuchar who seems to be the hot candidate here. seems to have gotten a bump out of the last debate last friday. warren, biden. that is the other big story. two stories. one sanders will be the clear winner here and biden will be the clear loser. he has already announced he is not going to be here tonight. he had a part scheduled. he is getting on a plane, flying down to south carolina. he is getting out of dodge and the main storyline he wants to make tonight when he goes out to greet voters, new hampshire, what was that? that it is all about nevada in 11 days and south carolina then after this. connell: he is on his way as we

understand to the airport right now. i guess, yeah, sending that message, yes he can live to fight another day in south carolina. but if he were, not out of the question to finish fifth in new hampshire. >> tremendous, tremendous loss for him. this is a guy who has, his whole argument is electability. he is the best candidate to take on donald trump. if you can't even beat this field and you keep losing, not only losing by a little bit, but fourth in iowa. fourth or fifth here. that gets to be hard. you know what gets to be hard? the donors. the people that want to beat donald trump and put their money on a person beating him. you could easily by joe biden by end of this month, as we head into super tuesday, 40% of the delegates from virginia to california he could be in real money trouble. connell: well-prepared chris wallace. >> well-dressed anyway. connell: see you on sunday. chris wallace on "fox news sunday." you watch it on your local fox

affiliate and the fox news channel. we continue from new hampshire. at this point voters heading to the polls are there, at this very moment. but will the president's message, which we saw last night of a strong economy resonate with the voters here? we'll take that side of it. speaking with the state's governor, republican chris sununu joins us live from here in new hampshire in just a few minutes. back in new york, melissa, what else do we have. >> connell is never cold. he is fine. don't worry about him. turns out everything old is new again. samsung is banking on people feeling nostalgic with the launch of its latest phone. all the details next. growing threat to america's dominance in space. why russia's latest move could spark a major and costly confrontation with washington. ♪. ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪

♪ connell: all right, betting on the economy. president trump making a bold prediction last night on the state of play here in the state of new hampshire. he had a campaign rally in manchester. let's take a listen. >> we have the best economy we ever had. with your help november 3rd we'll defeat the radical, socialist democrats. we are going to win

new hampshire in a landslide. connell: joining us now the governor of the state of new hampshire, chris sununu. thank you governor coming in. a lot of energy last night. >> that is what happens at a rally for the president. he claims he will win here, i believe he said in a landslide. he lost here last time around but barely. 0.4% to hillary clinton. how do you look at new hampshire in 2020? >> well a couple of things. in new hampshire we're a purple state. a landslide could be 2%. that is kind of the way it rolls here. our economy is strong, no doubt about that. what he has done with the tax cuts, regulatory reform, our trade to canada very important to new hampshire. those are things he can share a lot of credit in. we're number one state for pro-business. we're number one state for economic opportunity. more jobs available, lowest poverty rate. lowest unemployment. all the amazing statistics create opportunity not for government, but for the individual. for families. they're making more money.

they do have more opportunity in the live free or die state. the democratic primary only heavily contested. there is enthusiasm there. we'll see. turnout in iowa was not what some democrats hoped it would be. we hear from voters, talk to a lot of them acknowledge that. for example, i was talking to a physician at pete buttigieg -- you're right. the economy is strong on a macrobasis. the stock market. all the rest. but the, but usually turns to personality. but maybe they're not satisfied with how president trump handles himself. what do you say. >> come the end of the day come november, if that is the real issue, i don't like his tone i will vote for a socialist and drive big government socialist ideas to our country and bring economy to a screeching halt for themselves and their family, no, it is not going to happen, it really will not. there is gal vannized base on the democratic side. they are investing a lot of money but at the end of the day

the economy wins out. connell: you're a governor of a democratic contested primary almost like a team that won their round in the playoffs. you're like, who will we play in the next round. you have a rooting interest from that point because you want the easier opponent. that said, who do you think will win tonight? >> i think bernie sanders will win, but not by as early nearly as much as he should have. he had 175,000 vote. he will be lucky to get 75 or 80. 80,000 voters will walk away from bernie sanders. he has done it twice. he should have much longer ground game but he is losing actual voters. he should have done much better here. buttigieg is closing the gap. no doubt amy klobuchar is surprising a lot of folks. she is gritty, state forward, genuine and authentic that gets it done. connell: could can candidate like that, amy klobuchar, or maybe say mayor bloomberg later on, could a candidate like that give president trump a run for his money in the fall.

>> bloomberg, no. he will never get the nomination. the socialists will never let out of touch, old white billionaire trying to buy an election actually get the election. that is not going to happen. i won't believe it. he will win a lot of delegates, being part of a brokered convention which is likely to come. connell: you think that is happening? >> how could it not? bernie will get a lot of votes and delegates. biden will do well in the south, no doubt. buttigieg will not. he will do good in the midwest and other states. at the end of the day you get three moderate candidates bashing against three socialist candidates. it will be a very ugly brokered convention give a lot of momentum and big gap for the president to win in november. connell: you like the team sitting out. you don't know whether to practice or not and waiting for your opponents to fight it out. thank you governor. thanks for coming in. thank you for having us hire in new hampshire. we appreciate it. >> you bet. connell: melissa, back to you in new york. melissa: good stuff. the flip phone making a

comeback. samsung unveiling new phone, galaxy z flip. susan li with details on this one. wow, retro is in. susan: likes like the motorola razr. that is not the only device samsung unpacked at their event in san francisco. this is the z flip phone, has foldable glass this time, retailing for $1300. 1380 to be exact. goes from 4.2-inch screen to 6.7-inches. trying to make up for the debacle when they had the foldable 2,000-dollar phone. it didn't spark that much interest. they had to pull it, delay entrance into the market. it is not just the z flip. we had two galaxy s-20s. i was looking at them, aing and cooing. $1000, $1600 a piece. one is bigger than the other. 6.2-inch and 6.7-inch modest.

these cameras, talk about ultraaspect, 100 megapixels. 60 megapickles for the cheaper one. i was impressed with the presentation. the ear buds. this is galaxy buds plus. noise adjusting, $129. not noise canceling i have to be specific on that. i will have the phone to show you tomorrow in my hands. melissa: i can't wait. bring it to my office, susan. i love it. calling the president of the united states the enemy. elizabeth warren's latest argument as she tries to convince americans to support the campaign for the white house. plus more from connell. connell: yes indeed. less than three hours until the first polls close in new hampshire. by 8:00 p.m. eastern they will all be closed. some voters believe it or not may still be undecided. we'll talk about it as we continue live from new hampshire. ♪.

♪. >> donald trump is the, we remember he is the enemy, right? he's the guy who is out thereunder cutting every democratic value, undercutting economic security for hard-working people. we need to remember that's the direction we're heading. we also need to remember, a country that elected a man like donald trump is a country that was already in trouble. melissa: take that, trump voters. elizabeth warren not heading back, calling president trump the enemy during a campaign event in new hampshire. here is james freeman from "the wall street journal" he also is fox news contributor. she is condemning the country and coming very close to condemning those who voted for the president, this is a country that is in trouble. at the same time, if we put up the "gallup poll," the americans say they are better off than a year ago, 59%, that is the most optimistic reading that gallup's annual mood of the nation survey

has ever recorded. so hmmm. how does that go together, do you think, james? >> yeah, this is the challenge. they're looking for the message. obviously donald trump is not her enemy. he is her political opponent. perhaps some democrats were clinging to the hope that the investigations in congress, the impeachment process would uncover evidence that the president committed some kind of a crime. it didn't. it is hard to say he is unfit for office. the economy is outstanding. so maybe she is getting away from trying to claim that it's getting worse and getting less equal in terms of income. they're really struggling. you noticed in the last debate there was sort of a dissenter, andrew yang, we can't blame trump for everything. we can't blame him for the economy. it its technology's fault. the truth it is it is nobody's fault. the economy is pretty good. the same issue with connell and voters in new hampshire, unease

with trump's personality is probably not enough to convince someone to blow up the health care system. melissa: right. and in the meantime, they're having these primaries and then president trump kind of belly-flops into the middle of whatever city they're in, has a huge rally, collecting names of people and contact information of people who are willing to come out to see him at a rally. these are people that would probably do a fair bit for him. the stats coming out of, from the trump campaign but, they say, in new hampshire, 17% of attendees who showed up at his rally didn't vote in 2016. so 17% are new voters. 25% of those who attended were democrats. can you imagine 25% of republicans being in the audience or that making up the audience of any of those democrats? it matches what they have seen in ohio. 23% were democrats. 20% were independents. new jersey, 26% of attendees were democrats.

10% didn't vote in 2016. >> yeah. melissa: that's amazing. they're going to trump rallies all the people i just mentioned. >> it has to be concerning to democrats. just from sort of a threshold issue of a incumbent who has been in office more than three years now, still getting this sort of rock star excitement around his events it's not normal. on top of that, sounds like from the data you're talking about, these are actually new voters, maybe new republican voters. maybe people who didn't vote for donald trump in 2016. you contrast that with the report from governor sununu there. we'll see if he holds up. he is saying bernie sanders even if he wins will get a lot fewers votes than he got in 2016. if people are looking for sort of enthusiasm measurements, i would say the president looks pretty strong. melissa: definitely making it a very interesting election season for us, james. come back soon. >> will do.

thanks. melissa: meanwhile lyft sinking after hours while beating on results and revenue. posting a loss of 41 cents a try. ceo brian roberts told our own susan li that lyft is on a solid path to profitability. he refused to give a timeline but insisted it would happen this year. look on the screen at it after-hours. creating a potentially dangerous situation in space. why the newest branch of the u.s. military is sounding the alarm oaf a russian satellite. much more from new hampshire. connell? connell: well it could, melissa, really kind of be anyone's game here tonight in new hampshire. traditionally that is how new hampshire rolls. it is a state of history of surprises in presidential elections. we'll break it down in the state of play in the race's final hours coming your way next. >> the republicans are energized. but we're united and that nine months from now, we are going to take back the house of

behind the short fall now. wow. back to connell. connell: wow, all right. it is the road less traveled the path through the white house may well-run through new hampshire but very few democrats who are victorious in this state end you up living at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. if you look back over the history of it, since 1952, excluding incumbents, only 2:00 democrats won the white house after they won here. jimmy carter in 1976, and president kennedy in 1960. new hampshire is home to surprises, comeback kids, surging dark horse. don't be surprises if something surprising happens tonight. we bring in the executive director of the new hampshire institute of politics at st. an st. anselm. >> thank you. connell: i looking at "real clear politics" average from 2018. obama, just won iowa, plus eight

in new hampshire. that was the last poll that couple out or the last average of the polls. next thing you know loses by two or three points. something about this state. >> sure, a lot happens in the last week. there is a lot of excitement, a lot of activity. a lot of candidates going around. from the 08 example, hillary clinton cried and touched voters with the touch point. we see klobuchar sort of doing the same thing with a pretty good debate performance. really the optics of her campaign since then have been very good. the same with pete buttigieg. he is connecting with people. connell: yeah. >> and with democrats. this is a candidate that most people had never heard of a year ago, maybe six months ago, could not even pronounce his last name. right now he will most likely pass the former vice president of the united states. so big surprises here. connell: it would be a surprise if that didn't happen the way things are going for buttigieg. i want you to listen to some of the voters we spoke to last few days. we were at a couple pete buttigieg events.

energetic and people talking about new hampshire and what makes this process unique. let's take a listen. what is it about new hampshire? >> why make it beforehand? connell: true. >> see what happens. see how it plays out and things develop. i, in the last election i was heavily looking at republicans and i looked at jeb bush and i could see it in his eyes, he didn't have it. so, why not take every moment you can until you go to the ballot box? connell: that is the thing, neil, from other parts of the country don't necessarily understand it. in new hampshire, the people may not all meet candidates, but many of them at least see candidates in person multiple times. they really know what they're doing here. >> absolutely. the big joke in new hampshire will you vote for president ford? i don't know, i only met him twice. connell: right. >> a really good example what goes on here, my mother texting me at 6:00 in the morning today,

saying who should i vote for? i'm still undecided. connell: really. >> my own mother. you know the business i'm in. this is a state we're sitting here waiting until the last minute. we'll make decisions. that is why tonight we could see some real surprises. connell: yeah the klobuchar surge maybe, is that one you're looking for? >> they call it klo-motion at this point. there is that. buttigieg nationwide, i think a lot of analysts, he wasn't on their radar screen. connell: right. >> we've seen this for months in new hampshire with him. of course the biden thing. he has a full 18 days now to go before south carolina. that is an eternity in politics. he may be pretty crippled leaving here. connell: he is already early. headed out of here on his way to the airport at least. neil, thank you. good to see you. native of new hampshire no jacket with me. we'll go back to melissa. melissa: klo-motion i like that. technological failure that crippled the iowa caucus is now

melissa: battling for dominance in spate. a u.s. spy satellite is being followed by a pair of russian satellites according to the

commander of the u.s. space force. fox news's lucas tomlinson is live at the pentagon with the details. lucas. reporter: melissa, a sign of a new cold war in space as you mentioned, a pair of russian satellites are closely monitoring a multibillion-dollar american spy satellite in space. that is according to the head of the new space force. quote, this is unusual and disturbing behavior, and has the potential to create a dangerous situation in space. general john raymond said a pair of russian, what he called inspector satellites have been trailing the american spy satellite since late november after its launch, soon after reaching space, the russian satellite slight into two. the u.s. has currently over 1000 satellites in space. the american space command controls gps satellite, the whole constellation and its dozens of satellites. that blew dot on your iphone, melissa, that is courtesy of the u.s. military. the prom last year created the space force. the first service created since

the air force was created in 1947. the pentagon asked for $15 for the space force in the budget. iran tried to put a satellite into orbit while the islamic republic failed but secretary of state mike pompeo warned that the islamic regime uses them to develop missile capabilities. the satellites used to launch in orbit are. of course china is also looking in space and wants to get ahead there too. the pentagon is watching very carefully, melissa. melissa: wow, lucas, thank you so much for that. meanwhile, iowa 2.0. the democratic party is under fire for deciding to use another digital tool for the upcoming nevada caucuses. is that a good idea? here now to discuss it is charlie hurt from "the washington times." he is also a fox news contributor. charlie, all we have heard about the past three years the

sanctity of our elections. how we have to keep them safe. how democracy is at risk. they were the very first chance the democrats get they spend $63,000 on some app that nobody bothers to test, and it won't load, we'll never know who won iowa. now they're going off to nevada and looks like might be a similar situation? what do you make of it? >> it really is extraordinary. just when you think you've seen all the possible hypocrisy in politics, you get something like this. you know, it really is, it is not just the issue of the voting app in iowa and in nevada but of course the other place where democrats will go screaming bloody murder, if you try to do something is, when republicans push ideas for trying to do, you know, verify voters by their i.d. that's the exact same thing. anytime someone who votes that is not supposed to vote, that's stealing somebody else's

legitimate vote. so i wish democrats would be, were as concerned about that as they are about the supposed russia buying of facebook ads and things like that. melissa: yeah. >> here is the real reason this is so important i think for democrat to get it right. and i think you're right, they won't be able to go back and fix the mess they made in iowa. bernie sanders has very, very, very enthusiastic supporters. they like him very much. he also has detractors who dislike him very much but his supporters are very enthusiastic. when you look what happened in 2016 in the democratic primary it is hard to say that the clinton campaign and the dnc didn't collude to take the nomination away from bernie sanders who is loathed by the establishment. for them in the first outing in 2020 for democrats to screw it up as badly as they did in iowa, we'll see what happens here

tonight. certainly bernie sanders looks like the favorite to win here in new hampshire tonight but if they have a repeat like that in nevada, or anywhere else, and it looks like to bernie sanders supporters like the party is doing some funny business, it will be very bad for the party. melissa: they might torch the whole party. >> absolutely. melissa: from the democratic party was in an interview a short time ago and she snapped when asked this question, you know, that's why i'm in d.c. right now because we are working to make sure that nevada has the resources so that it comes off clean and it is not a problem. boy, you hope that she's right because, it is really bernie sanders folks, if they end up feeling like they get robbed again here, what would it mean for the party? maybe we shouldn't have a two party system? maybe that is where all this is going, charlie. >> it is really funny of course when iowa happened, national democrats, everybody dusted

their hands off, this has nothing to do with us, we have nothing to do with it. sort of interesting, suddenly they do have something to do with it, trying to prevent a repeat in iowa. you know, i, bernie is an existential problem for democrats in 2020. either he gets the nomination, and then i think he gets beaten pretty badly by president trump. if he doesn't get the nomination, you will have the same thing that you had in 2016 where you had those supporters convinced that they were, that the system was rigged and that they got robbed. and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that is what would be the cause of bernie not getting the nomination and if that happens, you will have a lot of people sitting on the sidelines. also i think a lot of those bernie sanders supporters, they will show up for trump just out of spite. melissa: that happened last time. kennedy was calling it the grudge vote, they went out to vote for trump because they were so mad.

that is really true. charlie, thank you. >> you bet. melissa: significant escalation against sanctuary cities. attorney general bill barr is taking new measures against certain local and state governments to insure the lawful functioning of our nation's immigration system and as part of the crackdown the justice department is suing the states of california and new jersey as well as kings county in washington state. is this move necessary to keep americans safe? who better to ask than our own david asman. david, what do you think? >> well i think that law enforcement is the achilles' heel of the democrats. everybody is talking about the economy but the democrats have gotten behind all kinds of screwy laws, rules, not only regarding immigrants, but a whole range ever things but this particuarly law that the department of justice is against in new jersey anyway, requires local law enforcement officials to tip off any illegal alien who the department of justice and i.c.e. agents want to get because they suspect they have done something illegally.

melissa: are you kidding? >> no. they are required. imagine they're holding somebody who has been accused by i.c.e. of doing something really bad, i mean, rape for murder, whatever, they have to be tipped off and given a chance to break free. melissa: amazing. >> this is what the doj is against. we'll talk by the way to ken cuccinelli. he is acting dhs secretary, former attorney general of virginia, about this rule they're trying to change in the state of new jersey and washington. melissa: i have to hear more about that. i definitely will tune in at the top of the hour, david. back to connell in new hampshire. connell: thank you, melissa. we have much more to come from the state of new hampshire as the voters keep their options open or tried to. voters have been undecided in the final hours of the race, literally deciding at the last minute. we ask them why it takes so long. that answer next. ♪.

♪ do you recall, not long ago melissa: fox business alert, president trump taking questions at supporting veterans, act signing let's listen. >> i stay out of things, but i didn't speak to him, i thought

the recommendation of ridiculous, the whole prosecution was ridiculous, i look at others that have not opinion prosecuted, i don't know where it is now. i thought it was an insult to our country, it should not happen, we'll see what goes on there. that was a horrible a ab. these are same mueller people that put everyone thre flew heli have not been involved with it. theought to be be ashamed. >> you took michael bloomberg -- 2016 and 18, you praised rudy guliani for stop and frisk

program, what is government from bloomberg said, and you believe -- >> i tell you, i looked at it, i watched him pander and beg for forgiveness, he was doing his job at the time, he went to the church, i thought it was disgraceful. i put something out it was nasty, i thought, you i'm looking to bring the country together not divide it further. when he went to a church, and apologized for everything that he has ever done that was for getting votes, i think that peoplunderstand that. >> i am. i spoke with prime minister -- i don't know who is going, he said we'll have millions of people. my only problem, last night we had 40 or 50 thousand people farm more than anyone else, but when we have 50 thousand people, i'm not going to feel so good.

he'll i think we have 5 is 7 million people from airport to stadium, he is building the stadium now. i look forward togoing to india at the end of the month. >> they want to do something. >> i don't want to say, but you would be surprised. >> talk more about recent departures in the white house. >> no, i wa not happy with the , first he reported a -- false call, it was a perfect call, it was not one call it was two calls, there were two perfect calls there was no set up, no anything, he reported it differently they went wild i said we have transcripts of t
