as well. stuart: i can't wait, caucuses in nevada. ashley: don't say the word caucus after iowa. lauren: february 9th, south carolina. biden is in or out after south carolina. stuart: five seconds to go. i'm done. three, two, one, neil, it is yours. neil: thank you very much. all the major markets at record highs including the dow, s&p 500 and nasdaq. this has nothing to do with what happened with the new hampshire last night. everything is with coronavirus. it kind of goes stay by day. the other story you heard from lauren, stocks revival on the notion since bernie sanders didn't win as big as some thought he could in new hampshire his prospects may be dimmer. that might be a leap here. some. firms. espousing that doesn't have the best record predicting how the political currents go but that is what it is today. the road is super tuesday, that is the biggie of the biggies.

1300 delegates at stake on march 3rd. the focus seems to be on pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar. they have been increasing in some battlegrounds ahead of super tuesday including nevada. joe biden is asking donors to think of me, not give up on my. elizabeth warren, maybe she is rethinking at all. take a look. >> we're going to south carolina. we're going to win those states. >> now our campaign moves on to nevada, to south carolina. to communities across our country. [cheering] >> we are going to south carolina. [cheering] >> we need to hear from nevada and south carolina and super tuesday states and beyond. >> the fight we're in, the fight to save our democracy is an uphill battle but our campaign is built for the long haul. neil: all right. so where that long haul leads, any of these candidates is anyone's guess.

we're down to nine right now. remember we had close to 2 dozen. that was then. this is the reality now. we can see further winnowing of the field. let's get the read from hillary vaughn in new hampshire. reporter: neil, the race for the democratic nomination is shaping up to be a battle between one socialist senator and one moderate mayor. for the second state, pete buttigieg and sanders finished neck-and-neck. sanders finished 25% of the vote but buttigieg trailing one percentage point behind. >> we are taking on billionaires and we're taking on candidates funded by billionaires. >> i admired senator sanders when i was a high school student. the politics of my way or the highway is a road to reelecting donald trump. reporter: now the focus shifts to nevada and south carolina where candidates are dumping dollars in ad buys. buttigieg up with new ads in

nevada and doubling his ground game in the state to 100 staffers. senator amy klobuchar is doing the same to capitalize what her campaign what they call close klo-mentum. she is dropping a million dollars an ad in nevada and 50 boots on the frowned this week that is the strategy joe biden used yesterday to explain why he fled new hampshire before polls closed to talk to voters in south carolina and convince them that a fifth place finish here did not mean his campaign was finished. >> we just heard from the first two of 50 states, two of them. not all the nation. not half the nation. not a quarter of the nation. not half a percent. two. -- fight from the opening bell. not the closing bell. reporter: biden isn't the only one betting big on the minority

vote. tom tie steyer is devoting most of his resources in south carolina. mayor bloomberg has invested millions in the super tuesday state. this campaign is getting more crowded not less. neil. neil: michael bloomberg, despite the controversy around the tape that is up is gearing up for a super spending spree particularly come super tuesday. jackie deangelis has details what the mayor might be planning. jackie. reporter: good afternoon, neil. here is what we know so far. the numbers are staggering. bloomberg has spent more than $90 million in super tuesday states. that is four times what steyer has spent, roughly 23 million. and more than 13 types what the rest of the candidates have spent combined so that gives you a sense. since bloomberg joined the race in mid-november he has spent more than 344 million overall on ads with the majority being tv, about 282 million. 57 million goes to facebook and

google. he wanted to make sure he had a presence there. just to compare, senator sanders has spent less than 26 million in the same period. he seems to be first in terms of popularity right now. for super tuesday, bloomberg set something his sights on california. he has 800 staffers there. he has spent 36 million on ads in the state. he wants those 415 delegates that state has to offer. mike bloomberg is holding first rally in chattanooga, tennessee, another super tuesday state. trump campaign strategy of 2016 harnessing power of social media with such success has democrats trying to keep up. but the investment in technology in iowa caucus is any indication they're not executing as well. we shall see. neil: it is still early. jackie, thank you very, very much. to put it in perspective a lot of people are focusing one race at a time. we're 2% of the delegates that are required to ultimately get nominated for the democratic

presidential ticket. putting that in perspective, of the candidates we have right now, if you're keeping track at home, if you're not, it is okay because i am, here is where we stand. you have right now pete buttigieg with 23 delegates. all right? bernie sanders with about 21. you have elizabeth warren with 8, amy klobuchar with 7, joe biden with six. that is the number on the screen you need to get the democratic nomination, 1990. all right, so the closest to that right now, pete buttigieg at 23. 23, 1990. that is why we don't want to leap to conclusions or make final states on the race when we're only two primaries, actually a primary and caucus state into it. let's get the read from former tennessee congressman harold ford, jr., "new york post" have a longichael goodwin and

way to go. >> 1553 delegates decided on march third. texas at and north carolina, texas at 228 delegates. as crazy as some people thought mayor bloomberg ignoring first four states, 123 delegates decided, 23 for buttigieg, 22 for sanders. strategy may make a lot sense. klobuchar may have benefited from "the new york times" endorsement. warren is in trouble as obviously stated. unless joe biden wins south carolina 10 to 12 points, he has to score 70, 80% of african-american vote. neil: can he do that. >> it is possible. probably not likely but it is possible. neil: you've been talking to the biden folks and one of the things you always hear why we're fixated on the first two states. it is about a weeding out process. we're down to nine candidates right now. >> it is early. neil: it is still early. that notion that it becomes a

self-fulfilling prophecy in a way. not all the time. what do you think? >> he has two fund-raisers this week, i think tomorrow, back-to-back. they're apparently sold out. they were sold out prior to iowa, just so you now. that is what they're touting. here is how you know biden is in trouble, you get this from the way his supporters are defending him, okay? they're saying, listen, it ain't over. they give delegate counts like you gave. say, but he has to kill knit south carolina, do well in nevada and super tuesday. that but is interesting because it is one of those big buts. not like but, and they are conceding this thing is starting to get out of control. the fascinating thing i find with biden for months and months he has been downplaying iowa and new hampshire. we broke it on here. they were giving up. they said they couldn't win and he still lost the media narrative. what we have is a campaign that is losing the media narrative.

neil: he was emboldened by polls briefly. >> national polls in particular. neil: i think that could be risky. >> it backfired on him. as harold said it looks like bloomberg played it perfectly. by the way he is spending, he has 300 million he is spending so far? he is going to spend 2 billion. if you think about it, he is almost there. neil: talk about bloomberg for a while. you could make the argument release of this tape, we haven't seen any polls post that. he apologized. the whole stop-and-frisk thing. his relationship with african-american voters is he really in the clear? did the performance last night of mayor pete and senator klobuchar provide enough alternative wig gill room for party types who are worried about the hard left charge of the democratic party? >> i think klobuchar and buttigieg do complicate bloomberg's strategy in the sense that i think what he wants is to be the one facing off against bernie sanders and the

problem they begin to rack up delegates through the states it becomes very hard to distinguish yourself and to harold's point about the delegate count, when the further you get into this, more people getting more delegates. because of the rules there is no winner-take-all. you get 15%, you get delegates, it will be very hard for anybody to get a majority preconvention if this pattern continue multiple people staying in, getting delegates in each and every state. neil: by the way there is one less player in the from nine to eight. deval patrick has suspended his campaign. we're down to eight. harold, the math then is still eight individuals battling for proportional share of delegates through every contest. you need 15% to get a share of that. how do you think that goes. >> democrats foolishly switched the rules to this 15% you get a

delegate thing. should be at least 20, 22, 23% before you get a delegate. those are the rules. neil: they did that in response to the bernie outcry, right? >> we're choosing a president here. there was a great piece written in the journal by governor jindal, we're not choosing a prophet, we're choosing a president. democrats have to awaken to the reality. bloomberg is only person on the ground in seven or eight states, that have big delegate numbers on march third, he could find himself out of march 3rd, three weeks we'll have a much clearer sense from this. later in the month -- >> you think he has a shot obviously. >> i think he has a real shot. as much as klobuchar and buttigieg complicating things where will they find the resources. the worry i have than later do her supporters flock to sanders. but they don't get 50%. if he is able to jump to 40 you get a big fight.

>> harold, you know this party better than i do. i spoke with a guy you know. a prominent wall street democrat. will not say his name. he basically said this. he supports biden, listen, i love mike bloomberg to buy this election. i have no problem with mike bloomberg buying the election. but if he buy this is election there will be civil war in milwaukee. the base won't allow it. i'm just saying just think of what the scene, remember chicago, chicago 1968? what will the scene be like in milwaukee if mike bloomberg is able to buy the democratic nomination above any progressive? i'm just saying it -- neil: if that progressive a way, way off the delegates needed, it is another matter. >> that's right. >> i think whoever goes to the convention with the most delegates, if that's bernie and he is not the nominee, then you're right, i think it is going to be very difficult to give the nomination to somebody who doesn't finish first or even a close second. neil: this is fascinating you

guys probably know this, most conventions don't have someone entering the convention, entering with all of the delegates necessary for the nomination. players who had the most from barack obama all the way back to jfk, they end up winning but it is not ironclad. >> superdelegates were v then. neil: that could be a big game changer. their role, harold would be second ballot, right? how do you expect they go? >> let's let this thing play out. it is going to be hard for someone to get to those numbers. i don't doubt the fight between the two will be severe. i will remind you around this time, perhaps this very set, maybe this set wasn't ready yet around this building people were wondering what would happen at the republican convention. neil: you're absolutely right. >> how will the bush people react? everybody rallied. dislike for trump among democrats is strong. neil: dislike among republicans. >> yang said a smart thing when he got out i agree with him.

democrats need to pay attention. beating trump alone won't some the problems. we have a vision. sanders, bloomberg have the most refined robust vision. that doesn't ignore what you said, charlie. that is where the fight will be. >> i agree. but my point is this, people. neil: mainstream media focuses a lot on republican party, trumpers and never-trumpers there is a civil war going on inside of the democratic party. it is nasty. i get it because i report the other side, i report both sides here. republicans and democrats. neil: both sides hate you. >> fine with me. i'm saying, neil, they, this party is not ready for a billionaire to buy the election. i'm just telling you. >> you can see it in the coverage. it is sort of bernie against everybody else in a way. it's the bernies who feel they were cheated. neil: victim and they robbed him of votes but even with superdelegates hillary clinton, say what you will of her, won

fair and square. that was then. >> black voters are the base of this party. if he gets near the end of this thing, bloomberg and he is polling higher than anybody with black voter -- >> you think that will happen after the stop-and-frisk? >> stop-and-frisk, black voters are most mature voters. they don't put people in the penalty box forever. neil: they're not like italian-american voters. >> you heard of italian -- neil: all right. you were all great. want to be politically correct here. former massachusetts governor dropped out of the race. little more than a week, these two, michael bennet, he dropped out. andrew yang dropped out a week prior to that john delaney dropped out. we're left with eight candidate still in the race. a couple of those a little dicey. we'll have more after this. ture.

neil: world health organization is giving coronavirus official name of covid-19. jonathan serrie has the very latest. what are you looking at. reporter: covid-19 is short for coronavirus 2019. 2019 was when the virus was discovered back in december. w.h.o. is hosting second day of meetings with scientists and independent experts to come up with a strategy for fighting the ow break. officials say a mislabeled sample taken from a patient with covid-19 led to premature

release from thest hospital. she was taken back to the marine corps station mirra more. before they discovered the woman was not among a large group of americans from china had tested negative for the coronavirus. >> it was no fault of the test itself. the test itself was accurate. the issue was that the, that the test wasn't run when we thought it had been. reporter: state department employees and family members evacuated on a earlier flight were released from quarantine at another california military base yesterday after all 195 received a clean bill of health. one local official expressed frustration though with rumors and snark circulating on social media. >> i don't want somebody to be attacked or ostracized or outed for having been part of this quarantine group. they don't needticsal testing. they don't need to be shunned. they don't have novel coronavirus. that was the whole reason for this quarantine and that quarantine has now run.

reporter: neil, the "atlanta journal-constitution" and other local media outlets are reporting that the georgia department of public health are helping approximately 200 georgia travelers returning from china self-monitor and isolate themselves. none of the travelers visited hebei province the epsy center of the outbreak and visited other parts of china of the as a pry caution they're voluntarily remaining in isolation. so far none of the travelers has gotten sick. neil. neil: hopefully it stays that way. thank you, jonathan. a lot of companies are vulnerable to delayed production. we heard from the likes of mattel, hasbro, under armour. the fact of the matter markets keep hitting ice because this seems contained at least to the markets. it isn't out of creel and they're stepping back saying things could be a lot worse. now oil is losing its appeal on the fear this will lead to a global slowdown. it has been a bumpy ride but the consistent ride oil could well

stay in a bear market here. price futures group, senior strategist, fox news contributor phil flynn. help me on that. that is the prevailing view, right? at the very least things slow down, not recessionary but they slow down. demand for oil, demand for energy supplies, demand for commodities in general eases, is that your sentiment? >> that is exactly correct. what we've seen here over the last couple weeks is demand destruction on a historic scale. you have cities shutting down, factories shutting down, people not going anywhere and that took a historic hit on demand destruction. probably the biggest, neil, since 2018. you know a lot of these companies that are producing in china, they're going to have trouble. there will be ramifications going for some time. but interestingly enough, it is a amazing how resilient the markets can be sometimes. we're seeing that in the stock market, right? the despite the concerns of a lot of these companies right now, having trouble on the supply chain, not being able to

get product, the stocks are rebounding because they're able to look beyond the virus. even in this bear market on oil, we're starting to see signs that maybe the worst could be over. i will give you a perfect example. we had a very bearish crude oil report today. supplies up 7 million barrels. would you expect oil prices would collapse. not so. the price of oil is up very strong today. part of that is because what we heard from opec. opec today put out a report that said, hey, demand destruction is bad. maybe it will only impact us by 400,000 barrels a day. that is an estimate that was lower than initially feared. so all of a sudden, you know, we start to come back. if we do contain this virus, we have the stuff called pent-up demand. all the factories have to make up for lost time. so they will be working double-time, using more energy than they normally would have. once you get through this you could see a bounce not only in the price of oil but in economic

growth as well. so we could see a nice bounceback. neil: you make it sound easy. i actually understood all that. thank you, my friend phil flynn in chicago. the dow at a record. no worries there. s&p, nasdaq they're all in records. sfx: [sneezing] i am not for ignoring the first sign of a cold. i am for shortening my cold, with zicam! zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal. the business of road trips... ...adventure... ...and reconnecting. modernized comfort inn's and suites have been refreshed because our business is you. get the lowest price guaranteed on all choice hotels when you book direct at choicehotels.com.

neil: you know when it comes to the big chinese telecom concern huawei, we've always been suspicious that they spy on us. we dug up proof in the past but we have real disturbing proof that they have been doing this, gaining access to our own mobile networks, try over a decade? deirdre bolton has more. reporter: this is the first time the u.s. has given details how they think the chinese government is using huawei to spy on the u.s. our colleagues at "wall street journal" they broke the story. they talked about spying through the backdoors as you alluded to. specifically american officials say huawei built equipment that allows it to tap into telecoms

without alerting the carriers. so the u.s. supposedly kept this information highly classified until late last year. they started sharing it with allies in germany and the uk with the idea of getting them to freeze out huawei from building their 5g networks but both the uk and germany going forward with the contracts with huawei. the uk even saying they would allow huawei to build a limited amount of a non-core 5g infrastructure. for the record huawei strongly denies the u.s. government allegation. here is part of the company's statement. i won't read it verbatim but you will see words like a smoke screen. essentially the u.s. allegations defy accepted logic. they say that basically "the wall street journal" is repeating the lies being spread by u.s. officials. nowedly enough this tension between the u.s. government and huawei or china, however you want to see it, somewhat vindicates apple's and facebook's stance because for years the in this way

to a measures such as encrypt shin for years. tech companies arguing against that, saying malicious actors would be able to exploit these so-called backdoors. so, neil, privacy, data security, all of this front and center. back to you. neil: thank you very much, deirdre. most americans saying they are better off than they were certainly three or four years ago. why is the guy helping to provide that environment tight in the polls? after this. begin to tell you...

neil: oh, this could be interesting. the new york governor andrew cuomo meeting with the president of the united states tomorrow. they will try to hammer out compromise on the global entry access. the governor wants it back for new yorkers, president wants other things. blake burman at the white house. reporter: the heart of the meeting set to take place tomorrow between president trump and new york's governor andrew cuomo and the president and the trump administration desire to crack down what it sees as sanctuary cities and sanctuary policies. at issue here happens to be the global entry and trusted travelers programs which allows for expedited reentry back into the country. the department of homeland security stripped away the benefit from new yorkers saying it cannot access new york's dmv

database to see if potential participants meet all requirements. cuomo says this all has to do with hundred thing and one thing alone, politics. >> seeing new york as a democratic state. so i believe the republican administration thinks there is no value to them in helping new york. that is putting politics above basic public service. i just think it is terrible. reporter: cuomo says he is willing to let the database be accessed in a case-by-case basis for those who want to use the program. earlier this morning i asked deputy press secretary hogan gidley if that would satisfy the president? gidley would not say, he did make the argument this is about something completely different, safety. >> the people of new york city, especially understand what it means to have people come into this country without the proper documentation after 9/11. so i hope that governor cuomo

can work with the president to come forward with some type of a solution to allow the federal government to do its main function, which is to protect all americans and their families. reporter: neil, earlier this week at the white house the president hosted the nation's governors. 2/3 were over here for a dinner sunday evening and a meeting with the president on monday as well. this will be a bit different, a bit more intimate i guess if you want to describe it that way. this will be a face-to-face setting to try to hash out maybe even swap proposals about what to do going forward with new york and this benefit that the new york governor wants to see for many in his state. neil? neil: this invites that line, that famous cliche to be a fly on the wall. reporter: we have those once a week around here. neil: i hear you, my friend. never gets old for me. believe me it gets old for the crew here. american optimism is surging.

61% of americans say they are better off compared to a little over three years ago, which coordinates well with the president's inauguration. higher than a incumbent president. former reagan economic advisor art laffer. art, interesting, the line that ronald reagan famously used to beat jimmy carter and when he was up against walter mondale, are you better off than you were? people doubted it in 1980. they were convinced of this 1984. how important are surveys like this. >> the gallup survey is important, neil. i used this one in the paper to estimate i thought trump would win in the election in 2016. i went through all the backdate at that. this is one key element i used in 2016. i think it is really strong now. i think it reflects very well on the president. i think his chances looking at these numbers are being

reflected in those numbers. neil: you know, one of the things i got traveling to iowa and new hampshire, art, for democrats, if the issues are giving you lemons, make a different lemonade. they won't focus so much on the economy that is doing better, there is no way you can quibble with it, i wouldn't call them wedge issues but they're focusing on things like health care and issues that won them back the house and that strategy they're convinced will pay off. what do you think? >> i don't think so. they have got to go for something. they can't go for the economy. they can't go for the impeachment. they're all these major issues they just can't do because they're not there. so they try to find something that is there. and they get down to little bitty tiny wedge issues. i think they're in desperate shape to be honest with you. look at the turnout is going on there, trump's turnout in new hampshire was huge, compared to previous turnouts of second

term presidents as well. so you know, all of these major indicators of re-election, favorability for trump, et cetera, are all pointing very much right now towards re-election. so we have a lot of stuff coming on so i don't want to jump to conclusions. trump is just turning them out. look at those rallies that he does. can you imagine doing that, neil, standing in front of all those people with a microphone for three hours and keeping them entertained beyond belief. how does he do it? it is amazing what he has done. neil: the rationale on this, art, the only thing that could lose the election for donald trump, is donald trump. if he does something that just gets off message on the economy, some of this. do you buy that? >> sure. i don't, i really don't buy it. of course it is true, if he did something really horrible maybe it would be true but i don't expect anything to come. i don't think trump is a wild man. i don't think he is crazy.

he speaks like a normal person, not like a lawyer, like a politician. he sounds very real. i don't think there is a chance that will happen. if you look at this election the only thing i think can hurt him is the economy. if you look look at the stock mt as a forecaster what will be five months out, it is getting beyond the point where really much can happen at that would hurt him in november. we're at the end of february, look at the stock market where it is. if you look five months out, the end of july. by the end of july, if we have a few more months of good markets, good evidence coming in, i don't see how he loses. i don't see how. obviously there are things at that could happen but i don't see it. neil: we'll watch it closely. my friend, good seeing you. >> it was fun. i watched you all last night, neil. i had to go to bed before it cast called. i'm an old man. neil: you are hardly an old man. historic figure. we appreciate always having you

on. thank you my friend. art laffer. by the way, joe biden it is not the economy. it is his own race, stupid. how hopes to turn things around after this.

♪. neil: all right. joe biden is hoping for a comeback in south carolina. he desperately needs it. he is urging his supporters and donors to dig deep. south carolina etv host reporter, gavin jackson says south carolina is where tom steyer is eating into biden's lead and a lot of that african-american support. very interesting, gavin. thanks for joining us. it is not a sure thing for him in south carolina then, is it. >> i mean the polls still have joe biden in the lead. again south carolina, joe biden

has been leading the polls since day one, all of last year. but what we're seeing right now is that tom steyer is kind of creeping in there, especially with the black vote which is so critical to winning south carolina, because it makes up 60% of our democratic electorate, when we cast ballots on february 29th in the primary. we saw joe biden come to town last night. he got a good shot in the arm especially after ruts out of iowa and new hampshire, with fifth and fourth place finishes. when you see those finishes, those are things that the campaign were, they were expecting numbers again, not to that extent. that low, at the same time they were preparing for that. putting all their weight on south carolina. i think what we're seeing right now joe biden needs to really do something magical here in south carolina. we'll try to see what the momentum looks like. if he doesn't, tom steyer holds the lead on him, makes inroad with people in south carolina we've seen poll after poll, it will be difficult for joe biden

from here. neil: it is always about expectations and one of the things that took some ever the thunder out of bernie sanders's performance in new hampshire, that he didn't stay at 30%. he was under that. he still won, i'm not taking away from that the expectations are, looking at some early polling numbers, that you know, bloomberg doesn't just win in south carolina but at least win with 30%. how likely is that if they are gnawing at him, particularly steyer? >> talking about biden winning 30%? you said bloomberg. neil: yeah. >> that is the thing. that is what we'll be looking for, what it looks like coming out of south carolina. with when he talk about steyer, his influence on the campaign and south carolina, where he is making some moves. it is kind of like what we see on super tuesday with what mike bloomberg will be doing essentially. steyer is the warm-up act for super tuesday. because he has been bombarding

the airwaves here more than anyone else. we're seeing him move up in the polls to make a dent. no one has been on the area. they have been in iowa and new hampshire. all of sudden they realize there is more ground game in the other states. people are eating their lunch there. i don't know what happens if he doesn't make 30%. if everyone is bunched up like they are now, it won't look food. neil: how is sanders doing? >> how is he doing? he has been jostling between second and third place between him and warren that has always been the narrative. tom steyer showed up, that has changed the narrative. sanders has a good ground game here. he has organization here. so much so he will not be in south carolina this weekend, this friday, but he will be in north carolina, hitting the trail in north carolina and charlotte and durham holding rallies there. taking that tack. since north carolina is a super tuesday state, 110 delegates. that is double south carolina.

we'll see more and more of that. there was a weekend with a lot of candidates. we haven't seen them since. obviously they had the impeachment trial. they had iowa and new hampshire. bernie has a base here. he is hoping to capitalize on that. you can't say a lot of other campaigns besides biden. a lot of other people have some campaign ground teams here but you know when you talk about amy klobuchar, that is really nonexistent in south carolina. neil: you never know. momentum can be stopped very, very quickly. we'll watch it closely. thank you very much, gavin jackson. then there is what's going in shopping malls. jeff flock in a pet-friendly mood. jeff? reporter: you know when they say the mall is going to the dogs, that is usually a bad thing but i don't know. it is actually the latest craze. hey, cali, i woke her up, sorry. the full story though when we come back in just a moment. avele with your golf clubs.

>> yes, i have. this is a really good mall. i came here when i was back in high school. they didn't allow this i think it is really good to have this, to be able to have dogs come to a mall just for senior citizens. think would be able to have their dogs an exercise the dogs, so the dogs can have a long-term life they need to have. reporter: we make a lot of, you know the death of shopping malls. but if you take a look, talk about online retail, online is killing it. take a look at these numbers, neil. this is q3 commerce department numbers. look at retail in general compared to online retail, online is still pretty small percentage of it, but still growing like crazy but still a pretty big percentage, small percentage in terms of online. anything that malls can do to become more vibrant, to bring the dogs along, i don't know. this is something that is kind of, you came here especially too because you -- >> i think it is great they're

doing this in the winter time for us here. the dogs can meet up and have a nice walk. reporter: did you buy anything at the mall? >> i do. but obviously not today. reporter: they have started a dog lounge they're building out. so the dogs will be able to lounge in here. there are even dogs in the window when they sell stuff. so, going to the dogs, whole new meaning. neil: let's hope it is not all bark and to bite. reporter: that's a good one. neil: just trying to do my best. thank you my friend, big tech not phased in the face after big government investigation on deals that go up a decade. amazon, google, account for 75% of the s&p 500 gains for the year. capitalist pig hedge fund manager jonathan hoenig.

they're looking at a lot of deals that go back a lot of years. that fishing expedition alone would normally weigh on the stocks. it has not had nearly impact you would think. what is going on? >> not yet, neil. i think the market is finally starting to realize big tech under both administrations they're public enemy number one. it was big tobacco in the 2000s. it was big oil before that in the 90s. walmart in the 1980s. big steel, they were the public enemies that government force would go against. big tech these days, it is like they're responsible for every social ill and responsible for every social costs. these legislators, these elected officials, they will find something wrong. i can't imagine neil it doesn't impact the stocks. they become punching bags for the left and the right that weighs on profitability moving forward. neil: why go back that many years, up to 2010 or back to 2010, to revisit deals that were consummated, most cases approved by the government anyway?

are they saying the government was misled, that they want to undo the deals, what? >> you know. there is no crime committed, neil, government will often invent one. that is what antitrust is more often than not. you think of how many airline mergers were not able to be completed. how many airlines went bankrupt because of antitrust. you're seeing the same thing again. people say, well, microsoft they can afford the regulation or amazon they can afford the regulation. the real risk here, neil is to all of us in the economy. microsoft was dead money last time in 2000, when the justice department went after it. now it is one of the most productive companies. you might say, what is the big deal? it is already having an effect. microsoft is up 70% in the last year. amazon which has been on the president's you know what list, target -- that is only up by about 30%. these regulators, neil, to the extent they regulate the market and technology, technology will be more like the post office and the public schools.

real risk for the market and the economy. neil: we'll watch it closely. thank you, jonathan, thank you very, very much. jonathan hoenig on the development. jonathan pointed out it is not showing up in stock prices right now. most issues are racing ahead. microsoft of all the issues, maybe in combination with facebook seen its shares slip since this was first even whispered. for the time-being they're holding their own. as are all major market averages. we're only more than 500 points from dow 30,000. that average is in record territory. s&p 500 is as well. so is the nasdaq. so right now, no worries. just wonder. after this. my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. . . .

or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

♪. neil: all right, for those of you at home, those are all

records, the dow, the s&p 500, the nasdaq, easy concern that has been getting a head of steam over the coronavirus, goes by the day much i will china trade then, good news favorably, worrisome news or more companies are doing production is bad news. so far it is good news today. we will keep an eye on that, were not that far from the dow 30000. a little over 500 points, sometimes we do that in a day. the democratic candidates are getting ready to move on to the next dates, nevada is ramping up in that state is a very beneficiary of all about. then you have south carolina, but all of that ahead of super tuesday, that's a biggie of the biggie where we have close to 1400 delegates at stake. i'm getting ahead of myself let's go first to what's at stake and nevada. jonathan hogajonathan hoenig in.

this is a caucus state right. >> last night after the results came in in new new hampshire, simply because it focused more attention on what will happen here in nevada, a lot of tv money already pouring in and the candidates of course themselves already on the way. the billionaire tom steyer the first to arrive holding a series of events in northern nevada throughout the day, he does have momentum but frankly he is still an afterthought in terms of the bigger picture. and now appears to be a race between bernie sanders on the progressive side of the democratic party and the moderate wing led by pete buttigieg. listen here. >> onto nevada, onto south carolina, it's on to win the democratic nomination and together i have no doubt that we will defeat donald trump.

>> now or campaign moves onto nevada, to south carolina, the communities across the country and we will welcome new allies to our movement. and every step. >> senator amy klobuchar already has new ads on the air here in nevada and she will be helping to over hold mayor pete buttigieg to show she can carry the moderate banner while joe biden campaign frankly is on life support. he desperately needs to prove here what he has claimed before that his strength is in winning states that look more like america. iowa and new new hampshire overwhelmingly white, nevada, most certainly not. a large latino appellation and around 14% overall nonwhite. listen here. >> i think it does look like america, not only does it matter winning in nevada because it's the third state and important to carry the momentum forward, it's important for campaigns to show,

we are appealing to america. >> winning the union vote is also vital in nevada because of its power of the culinary union. a big organizing force has not endorsed yet but it has implied he does not like bernie sanders medicare for all approach. finally, in the process, they first caucuses i would disaster, nevada is going to use an app to miller to the one that crashed and i want but neither using google box and paper ballots, this is simple across for early voting which began saturday. voters will check in using a pdf file preloaded on the ipad, they will get a card with a pin number, they will enter that number into a google form and select three to five preferences on a paper ballot. they will insist them into a ballot box. in campaign staff will be able

to monitor the entire process of the ballot box will then be transported to designated ballot processing hubs and finally those ballots will be scanned and stored. sounds entirely straightforward. what could possibly go wrong. [laughter] neil: you read my mind. great story as always. in las vegas. connell mcshane back from new new hampshire per good to see you. good job. will they brag that they got it right, it's a popular vote, up and down, i was wondering if they were deliberately going so to make sure they got it right. but in the end a lot of people are saying victory for bernie sanders, he did not hit the 30% level that would avoid a lot of second-guessing. >> the thought process going and sanders to win by five, six, 78 points, that would be a strong when given the momentum to be a strong runner going into the next few states, that said, he is right now just by default the front runner in this race.

we will see how the next two weeks play out. neil: it was a strong crowd. you were there. >> they always are, we were in cedar rapids the week before and we had 3000 people the night before the primary in new new hampshire with aoc had seven or 8000 people, he is able to bring a strong crowd but we look at how the market is reacting. i know his other issues, there often on but i don't think investors have factored in the fact that the second most likely person to be president after the next election right now as we stand is bernie sanders with the income it donald trump be most likely. he still is the most likely nominee and it's interesting to see that so many if you speak to people on wall street and others, they are counting on that and they may well be right. neil: he points a lot of these guys to the stump events and what have you, aisleways find it could be very intriguing, enthusiasm in the room, what the folks over there are saying, you

covered the government, sanders to biden, what did you learn. >> there is a big enthusiasm gap between candidates. so when the vice president, the former vice president claims today or his campaign claims it's not that big of a deal to do, as they did in iowa and new new hampshire, that sounds a lot like a spin on a number of levels, you would not expect to win those states but to finish fifth is not a strong performance. neil: but he left that day. >> just the eye test of going to the event, if you go to a sanders event or even worn or amy klobuchar in the last few days, there is much more and you can feel in the room and one of joe biden's events. what does that say, it says people knew who the old joe biden was going in, they'd known him for years, he served as vice president of the united states for eight years in the senate forever. they are now taking stock of who

the newer current vice president is and when they see with their own eyes he is losing and not gaining, if that happens in the first two states i'm not sure there's any reason to believe it will not continue to happen unless something changes for he's trying to change, being more aggressive in going after his opponents. he could come back with something has to change in the way he's campaigning. >> i want to bring in the role of younger voters, they have turned out for bernie sanders, not in the numbers that bernie sanders might have hoped for, democratic strategist and campus reform editor-in-chief, we begin with you. your donald trump looking at what transpired among the democrats, your seed and closely divided on the top three candidates. are you sensing you could take the state and still win this race because democrats have a problem here? >> yeah, i think there encouraged by the fact it doesn't seem to be any real

unity. and who's going to take over the moderate lane. i figure encouraged by that and for all bernie sanders talks about being a candidate that will bring out record numbers of new voters in electability, i'm going to bring out people that have never voted before per we have not seen that, we did not see that in iowa and not much in new new hampshire people coming to the polls for the first time in coming out for bernie sanders, while he does have a lot of new support, he obviously is doing well so far. there has not been him turning out new people and that's what it'll take for him to beat president trump. the longer this goes on the longer before they have is to give the candidate, the more of the term campaign benefits from it. >> we remember history in looking at democrats who are salivating among the republicans before they ultimately settled on donald trump. but that was something that democrats seem to be happening.

i would've republicans might be risking doing the same by dismissing out of hand bernie sanders if he were to get the nomination they would squish him like a bug. that can prove wrong, what do you think? >> first of all, i think this is very early, there is a lot of energy especially in the media to call the horserace, the democrats have not had contest into small predominantly white states with 65 delegates. this is a process, we gotta get through nevada, we gotta get through south carolina states that are more representative this is the point of adding the two states to the four states pod and until the state spoke, we really don't have a sense, latinos have not had a say, african-americans have not had a say, we will see, i think berni problematic, the general election candidate, i have been very clear from the on the start. for different reasons, the donald trump was. i think we have to wait and see,

i think we'll have a better sense of this race after nevada, after south carolina, i think people need to chill out just a little bit, let the states vote and will see what happens. >> to his point, were 2% into the delegate quest. there are roughly 4000 delegates at stake. and you need close to 2000 of them to close the deal and for the time payment entered being pete buttigieg is that 22 delegates. where is the momentum do you think on new hampshire. usually a few have dropped off after the latest andrew yang, john delaney, michael bennet in the last week. what do they get that? >> this is exactly that. in the primaries where you do start to see the narrowing, is not narrowing as much as some thought it would at this point. i think that something that is really helping bernie sanders. we are seeing a lot of delegates

going to people like pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar but the moderate field is still beating each other up on the trail right now and that is helping fuel people like bernie sanders where as before, he used to have to share more activist leftist part of the democratic party with elizabeth warren, she is seeming to fade right now especially after her performance in iowa and new hampshire. it looks like they're consolidating behind bernie where the moderates are still split. we had a democratic operative speak about this today who said in 2016 the non-trappers if they had consolidated early enough that president trump might not of been the nominee, were starting to see the same situation play out with bernie sanders and if the moderates don't consolidate andy does have a really prominent and strong lead. >> too that point i think the reason people to judge didn't win outright is not because of bernie sanders, his problem because of amy klobuchar in the performance she had in the last

few days and you are talking at a pete buttigieg event and especially at the pete buttigieg event and there was a number of people deciding between the two and for klobuchar to get 20%, you never know where voters come from and you have to assume if you may have voted for pete buttigieg and to go back to the original point of the new voters, that is something from the data i saw last night, thats has not been able to do that pete buttigieg was able to do some extent but again will stop short of winning outright in new hampshire, because of the search of klobuchar you are close to the truck folks, the only one that could screwed up her donald trump. some of the role of the prosecutor's putting the case on the roger stone issue or his firing of the right wrong that is a kind of stuff that would mess it up or risk messing it up for the president what do you

think of that? >> i think any day where president trump is letting the democrats the main story and let the economy do the thing is a victory for him, we look at pulling data out today, over 60% of americans say they're better off economically than they were when president trump took office, over 70% of people saying they will be better off a year from now than they are from now. that optimism is something we have not seen in decades really. we have not seen that since 1970s, i think obviously people vote with their pocketbooks in the auto be a good sign, i think president trump is the main focus in the winning point. to go back to new hampshire and looking at the election moving forward, it's too soon to say that one moderate candidate drops out that the all go together moderate candidate. i worked on a rubio candidate, if scott walker will get his supporters, the obvious he did not happen. even last night the data, joe

biden his boater said the number two candidate is bernie sanders, that the most common response. voters are a lot more fluid that we like to make them but it's not as common to say if they like one modern candidate they will all go together and there is a lot more decision-making going on to not and this is just one way. >> and bernie sanders is helping that they capture elizabeth warren voter. >> that is exactly right. we have to be very careful of assuming that liberals, moderates and even moderate conservative democrats, they are certainly preferences depending on issues a lot of which at the end of the day in the cabin pointed out are personal to them. i went to reemphasize the point, we have to pump the brakes a little bit and let south carolina and nevada but, i think that will tell us a lot, i do think the field will consolidate for natural reasons, they will run out of money, some candidates will underperform and it will be very difficult to

make an argument to move on to super tuesday where you have very expensive states like south carolina and where you have a region, the south were democrats don't do well in general elections but when you put together a fair amount of delegates. i think we will know a lot more in 17, 18 days and i think that will tell us a lot about bernie sanders standing, it is important to note that he did underperform with the voters in the foundation of his entire campaign is used voters and he cannot get them to the polls in new hampshire, will he be able to turn that around going forward, it also tells a lot about joe biden with african-american community and whether south carolina really is going to be that reset for him. neil: i want to thank you all, i know you already put in a request for vegas.

demand from the u.s. is down about 3% already, not just by destinations in china, we are seeing slippage on other southeast asian destinations. the good news, a lot of that shifting back towards domestic destination. tourism continues to grow, we see it more domestically this year. >> what about those coming here, forget about asia and all those, there's a skittishness about travel these days. >> definitely, in the next two months alone we are expecting to receive over 1 million seats from planes coming from china, many of those passengers connecting through china to the united states, new york, los angeles, san francisco collectively will definitely feel an impact with your tourist landing here. neil: sometimes this leads to big discounts with airlines, hotels, casinos, to try to draw people to their places, their planes, do you see any of that going on questioning.

>> we are not seen that yet, i think part of the reason because there's a lot of uncertainty of how long the virus will continue to spread and create uncertainty in the market. what i would expect, if we see this continue through the end of spring, some airlines have ready canceled flights to and from china through the end of april, that's when we will start to see action from the tourism industry, domestic and abroad. neil: thank you very much, haley looking at all of this in the fallout. very substantial. they hope obviously it does not go on that long. in the meantime, samsung had a whole bunch of new of offerings, you name it, you have it. what got very little attention is the disposable phone, that is getting a lot more than even samsung. and 5g. right after this. ♪ n my tv and boom, it's got all my favorite shows right there. i wish my trading platform worked like that. well have you tried thinkorswim?

with goldman sachs i have no idea what he's doing, ashley has a detail. >> make it rain on those dollars falling down, apparently these talks between harry, megan and goldman sachs happened back in november when the royal couple were enjoying the six week vacation in vancouver. this of course was before the royal couple quit the royal family. they were obviously thinking about the future long before they made it official that they were opting out. harry could be following in the footsteps of other high-profile people such as gwyneth paltrow, david beckham, they signed on to speak at the golden sachs so-called talk events. but what we understand harry does sign on, he would not be paid for the speeches, so what is the point. but prx says it will most likely

lead to a very lucrative future. right now, how much is the royal couple worth, what is their net worth, probably around 35 - 40000000, but if they can start getting these relationships with the big ban s of financial companies, who knows, some estimates above a billion dollars. that is financial independence by any description. harry and meghan's team in the uk trying to do a little bit a damage control saying the contact back in november was purely on behalf of harry's charity but it took a lot of people by surprise and i'm sure those inside buckingham palace as well. we should also note that harry gave a speech just recently at south beach in miami and event put on by j.p. morgan and in front of a crowd of billionaires and other famous people including magic johnson, he apparently or reportedly talked about his mother, her death and his time in therapy and touching

on why he and his wife and his baby son decided to leave the royal family. there's a report for the j.p. morgan event he got more than $1 million. no one is confirming that, certainly not the brink or spokespeople for harry and meghan. but it just gives you a sense of what the future may hold for this couple. certainly a lucrative deal, we believe some of these numbers are pretty impressive and all the paris critics would say it is all a bit sleazy when you're marketing yourself off of the world brand, but i'm sure there laughing all the way to the bank. [laughter] neil: they are avoiding that. thank you my friend. you are the best. meanwhile we have more records on wall street, investors are convinced that bernie sanders, even if he is the nominee will not be the current white house occupant. mike murphy on that. what do you think about that,

that is growing as a consensus view. >> it is. as bernie gets more and more momentum, you have to think when he does go up against trunk, there's a big part of the country that will vote anyone but president trump rate anyone who goes up against him has a fighters chance. i think to that extent, the market is not a socialist being the president of the united states because if it were you would have 25, 30, 50% of where we are from now. >> what is interesting, the notion that at least in 2016 donald trump and bernie sanders shared a lot of the same populist angry voters, i don't mean to dismiss it but they had more in common than you would think. i'm wondering how that plays out or the -- if he gets closer to this and a concern if he gets the democrats to avoid it. how much of a force could he be. >> i think just the fact that he is up there is the most force he

will be. i don't think he can beat president trump in a general election by any stretch. unless there is something else that happens between now and the election. neil: unless the president does something to derail it. nothing to do with the economy that remain strong or the market that remain strong, something like he was quitting the justice department something like that. >> those geopolitical type events are real event that could derail things. but people a lot of times will vote with their pocketbook. in 2016 you had trumped the outsider, bernie the outsider so to speak who both had the wild plans. but president trump has delivered. people have jobs, higher wages, people feel better about the economy, now to run on the socialist saying we're gonna get more for bigger government and get more handouts, i don't think the cells as well 2020 as it may have in 2016. neil: i sell the wall street vernal column today looking at democrats don't give up hope,

saying much of the good sentiment and goodwill about the economy is felt more about republicans and democrats. and within economy the strong, the president -- you heard all these arguments before, i guess much to say, republicans take nothing for granted, the democrats is something of the road, what did you make of that. >> if you see president trump on the campaign trail, he is not resting on what he's accomplished apart and thinking he has is in the bank, he is out there and hustling as he has for the past three years. i think that is one thing to look at. as far as republicans versus democrats, i think the rally we have seen in the united states economy. forget the stock market, but in the u.s. economy people don't go for jobs and ask if you're republican or democrat, everybody is feeling the growth in the economy and everybody feeling the growth in wages. if you wanted a job, there is a job out there and you can get a job. people will vote on that and just the fact that they feel better. neil: when you think of the resilience of the big tech names that are absorbing the sec

investigation that a deal is being made back dating back a decade. >> a lot of money on the sidelines coming into the market wants to go growth, if you're looking at apple, alphabet, amazon, google, all the big tech names, that is where money has seen the most growth edwards been rewarded the most, until that changes you will see a lot of money coming in their. >> it is still coming in. thank you very much, you follow that so well per back to politics in joe biden who is hoping for comeback in south carolina. former south carolina congressman on whether he is in store for one. ♪ woman: my reputation was trashed online.

>> experts on cable tv talkers talk about the race, tell them it is not over man we are just

getting started. [cheering] our votes count two. neil: you know those cable tv talkers, anyway joe biden is hoping to revive his campaign by going after cable tv talkers, and south carolina he hopes i changes around, this is the state i can change it around in. former south carolina congressman trey gowdy, always great to have you. what do you think of the argument of any state where he can turn it around and sucking minor? >> it depends on what he means by turning around. if you need still coming divorce, yes, there's a chance. i think people talk carolina remember him finally in the political environment where not everyone would have done that when senator passed away, he is like here but he has built his campaign on a platform of electability. and that façade has been exposed and iowa and new hampshire and i

don't think he will win south carolina, if any indicator, no one has finished where he finished in iowa and new hampshire and gone on to be the nominee. he will do better but he will not win and i don't think you'll be the nominee. neil: the african-american vote, young argument of being the democrats with all the white states, iowa, new hampshire, this is indicative of south carolina, he is pretty much finished. >> i think he is finished no matter what. historically, no one has finished her he finished and the two other states and gone on to be the nominee. i do think african-american voters are a big constituency in the democrat party, look at the last debate stage, maybe on this, candidates of color, i don't see any. so the question is going to be do they reward his loyalty to the president obama or do they go with their hearts. it is hard for joe biden to make

the argument that anyone is passionate by him because of his ideas. it's all about electability. if that façade is exposed, then you have to look somewhere else. neil: you might be right about that, the latest candidate to take himself out of the race, the former governor of massachusetts african-american, what is your sense of what will propel this race, uas here congressman, it's donald trump and the only way to screwed up for him is donald trump raid and when you hear this talk about him praising bill barr for taking control of the roger stone case, democrats say he's at it again. what do you say. >> i just find that so ironic. go back to the democrat debate where they are blasting, harris and blasting amy klobuchar and blasting mayor pete because two were prosecutors and they put a couple people in jail. and now they found somebody that they think ought to receive

essentially a life sentence for a nonviolent crime. i just cannot get over the irony that democrats have finally found someone that they think ought to be subjected to a long period of incarceration, president don't sentence people, prosecutors don't sentence people. the judge does. in this judge heard every syllable of this trial. it was a trial. he was convicted, he lost, he should get an active prison sentence, whether or not it should be nine years or not, that is more than any child pornographer i ever prosecuted as a federal prosecutor buried nine years as a longtime for lying to a member of congress. you should be punished, there is no question about that. but we have to have proportionality, i don't think the president of the head of the executive branch waiting in, i don't think that will move a single voter. neil: the question i more had for you congressman, whether

these were prosecutors who quit as a result, whether that was a staged event, republicans are saying that was all preplanned. i don't know what the truth is but they left in a huff, was it prearranged? >> i don't know and i try to be fair, particular what i don't know, i don't know why they left, i think to relieving anyway, here's the reality, i did what they did, i did it for a long time, prosecutors don't sentence people. we all have bosses that disagree with us. if you read what bill barr, the second filing, this is a serious crime, it deserves an active prison sentence. but it may not deserve nine years, if you're going to quit because you think somebody ought to get nine years and your boss thinks they out again for then maybe it was not the right job for you anyway. neil: can you find anything unusual, have you heard or seen anything like that? >> i find the last two years to be wildly unusual.

i was in the room when roger stone lied to congress. it may have been my question for all i know. i would like to get back to a point where we can all agree, you should not lie when you take an oath not to. but we all agree that the judge is going to do the sentencing, not the prosecutors, not the cnn commentator and i'd also like to get to our world where you don't have to apologize for being a prosecutor if you're a democrat candidate for the nomination, they beat the hell out of, or under kamala harris and amy klobuchar because they were prosecutors. the newfound desire for a vigorous strong justice system, i find it to be amusing when democrats are asking for significant jail sentence for a nonviolent crime. neil: the judge with whatever recommendations are out there. >> that's why we give them life tender. this particular judge is going to do whatever she thinks is right. and that's why we give them jobs

for the remainder of their natural lives. neil: well said. good to see you again. i appreciate it. neil: we already know about everyone fleeing the high tax states and going to a more affordable confines. in florida, they are taking full advantage of that. by making the confines little more expensive. right after this. ♪ there's a company that's talked to even more real people than me: jd power. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across

neil: bloomberg is reporting something that should be obvious when so many opted out, the 2020 congress federal budget scheduled for barcelona is offered the coronavirus fears, barcelona, so many players were coming from asia and those

coming from the united states and europe, they said we will not do it. we want to help organization, a lot of the cases that are outside of china have actually begun to be localized to transmission in the region in other words it's not as big as it was feared outside the asian community. watching that, it's just a reminder that it remains stubbornly high when you look at the number of new cases that increase by 12 - 14% everyday. the argument from that seems to be it is stabilizing. at least that's what the market is as well. in the meantime, bed bath and beyond is falling right now, sales continue to fall, that's not the indictment on the retail community. but more on this particular issue, let's have making money host, charles payne. >> there's no doubt about it, almost every day when there is

something that sticks out like that, you can see if the name that's been in trouble for some time, under armour same thing. located three year, five year start, this is an issue that they are not grappling with but for the most part we know the markets consumer is going extremely well, a name like this is not the company we thought it was coming in, it was less than $2 billion in volume and on the other hand there's no exciting names of their and they wonder why the mainstream, they're huge, big and you know he knows about them, millennial, he was with the super bowl my nephew, and the names they were talking about in the stock market, they are up huge, these kids get it, they are making big money off of it. >> i think they were just trying to impress you. >> they did a good job. >> famously years and years ago you talked about the peter lynch examination of parking lots, maybe find out what's going on,

kids on everyday products they buy, now the question becomes even if they like what they want to buy, what they want to buy is a lot more expensive. what do you tell them? >> it's not where it is now, it's where goes. it's a most like the stock market when people say what do you buy here, that was a question when the dow hit 100 then it hit 1000 then 10000, in the realm of someone who is 26 years old, has a job, not a lot of bills and maybe living with her parents, in the meantime they can go ahead and emerge itself into think it would be part of the everyday lives and to be quite frank, some of these things i've never heard of, but they exist and do very well and they could be the microsoft that have the endurance of over ten or 15 years were now, looking back ten years from now.

also a place to be social as well. in a pretty amazing stuff, a yoga studio with two levels. it actually has an ocean view which is beautiful in the pilates equipment. the main thing about the building, were in the main lobby, a lot of activity has just open this tower, that is what's so crazy. everyone in miami is a. and it has 56 stories and 308 units. they call this because of the structure, the amazing views that you see in the rooms, also a lifestyle because if you're going to come down here, please new jersey and come down here maybe a hairstylist to take care of your life come and going to get back to you in newark with my favorite dress from new york city is a little bit warmer, not to back to you in rainy new york? neil: that is fine.
