hierarchy of trying to steal it from bernie sanders. listen here. >> it just seems what's unfair what is happening to bernie sanders to be honest with you. i saw it happening four years ago. be careful what you wish for. i'm not wishing for everything, whoever it is i will be very happy. reporter: mike bloomberg responded to that comment via twitter saying quote, why do you want to run against bernie so badly? to which the president also responded on twitter, saying, no, mini mike, i want to run against you. so the twitter wars in full swing, liz. it will be a long eight 1/2 months until election day in november. liz: we'll have you back on. you do a great job covering it. great to see you. as jonathan just reporting the democrat race looking like a showdown pundits say between an

6:06 pm
>> i can teach everybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer. it is a process. you dig a hole. you put a seed in, put dirt on top add water, up comes the corn. the economy is fundamentally different because it is built around replacing people with technology. you have to have a lot more gray matter. you throw them up against the wall and frisk them. liz: reaction to that. also the washington post reprint ad gag gift, a joke gift from bloomberg's workers that included bloomberg said disparaging women. wheel show the viewers about that. he has a lot to handle on the debate stage. >> i'm excited. i will be there to see mini mike on the debate stage. finally we get to see him in action. how well he is polling nationally and polling in nevada he has been able to use his money to make a big impact in the race and bernie sanders is

6:10 pm
michael bloomberg he will get away with it. at the end of the day he will answer for a lot of comments. i have a feeling more and more coming out with that kind of history and someone in the public eye for that long he better brace himself. it will be coming his way. liz: tomi lahren, great to see you. come back soon. >> thanks so much. liz: a shocking development in the coronavirus outbreak, it killed 51-year-old director of a major hospital in the epicenter of the outbreak in the china city wuhan. the latest fatality follows the death weeks ago of a whistleblower doctor. a 34-year-old doctor who also was in wuhan. he was allegedly harassed by authorities for attempting to bring the virus to light. more than 1700, potentially 2,000 medical workers there now infected. the market did take hits because of this. stock losses intensifying after apple the tech giant warns its revenue will likely fall short in the second quarter because of the coronavirus impact on apple's operations in china.

6:17 pm
♪ liz: went from russia, recession, ukraine, saying president trump you didn't build that, that strong economy. that group includes president obama. here is president obama saying he is responsible for the economy. president trump didn't hold back. he didn't mince words. the president firing back. did you hear the latest con job and more. my next guest, heritage foundation gerald griffith. your reaction to all this? we did not see democrats including hillary clinton run on the strength of the obama recovery.
6:18 pm
your reaction? >> i think it is a little ironic, may be slightly awkward for democrats gathered tonight, that president obama seems to acknowledge we are the midst of a record-long economic boom. that will be extremely awkward for a few of the candidates tomorrow night running on a platform of class envy and trying to convince us not to believe our eyes. the bottom line under barack obama we experienced the slowest, most lethargic economic recovery post-world war ii. the tide is now beginning to turn under president trump. liz: it usually takes 27 months on average since world war ii to get jobs back to postrecession levels. under obama it took 43 months. under this president 83% of taxpayers got significant tax hike. wages are going up. 61%, highest percentage of americans in gallup survey saying better off financially than three years ago. that is the highest for an incumbent president ever. your reaction to that?
6:19 pm
>> look at other numbers. not just gdp and job growth. labor force participation, people working or looking to work, that number declined underneath president obama in 2009 and 2010 and 2011 and 2012 and 2013. under president trauma labor force participation is skyrocketing. we're at prerecession levels. this is people in working age prime. this is great news. look at manufacturing. real output stagnated the last three years of president obama and now we have actually recovered that and we are manufacturing at a higher out put than at anytime during president obama's presidency. this is just more great news. liz: under the obama stimulus, remember clash for clunkers, clash for flunkers, insolvent companies like solyndra. obama was asked about how it money being spent? you can go to the website. under president obama, the
6:20 pm
national debt doubled. near zero rates from the fed. it was weakest recovery since 1949. nearly three million jobs still lost the year after president obama signed the 2009 stimulus act. go ahead. take that on. >> we have two different approaches between president obama and president trump. president obama had the focus trying to induce growth by more spending, by more government programs. you mentioned "cash for clunkers." these are examples of the way hoped to grow the economy. if you look at what president trump has done along with congress, lowering taxes, lowering regulations. allowing the energy sector to blossom. that is having a real impact because we're seeing prolonged growth and if you look at productivity, productivity makes it possible for people to earn more in real terms, we had the highest productivity growth in a decade last year. that is translating to real wage growth for people across the board. liz: we look at what president
6:21 pm
barack obama even said ba his own recovery. he was downplaying. he said people face up toe new normal, 2% growth. under president obama it was 1.6% growth when he left office. 2% growth was not new normal under president obama. he was saying things like shovel-ready jobs, there is no such thing as shovel-ready jobs. some jobs will not come back. watch the sound bite from president obama. watch. >> what we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back. he is going to bring all these jobs back. well how exactly is he going to do that? what are you going to do? there is, there is no answer to it. he just says, i'm going to negotiate a better deal. how, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? what magic wand do you have?
6:22 pm
>> we found the magic wand because we're going to be hitting 750,000 manufacturing jobs. liz: your reaction, joel? >> yeah. there is no magic wand. it is called letting free markets work. by actually lowering the burden of regulations, allowing investors to keep more what they earn in reinvested economy, that actually grows jobs. we have lowest unemployment rate in most of our lifetimes. record low unemployment for minority groups. record household income. we're allowing the private sector to flurish on its own. not giving credit to anyone saying i built that. it is the american people. they have built that. governments simply, finally getting out of the way to allow those animal spirits to flourish once again. liz: "the hill" magazine, we're tracking washington, d.c. publications, quote, democrats are worried about trump's growing strength. the final point is a lot of part-time jobs exploded under president obama because
6:23 pm
obamacare. remember this, not only that it came with new taxes, 21 to be exact. companies had to go pay insurance foreworkers working full time more than 0 hours a week. it was caused companies to have workers below the threshold. joel. >> stick what we know works. continue to lower regulations. let's look at ways in which to lower taxes across the board. by doing so, we can see this economic boom continue not just for next year or two more years but we can see it continue to coin for years. liz: do you think you will hear crick sets on the economy, will hear democrats on the debate stage that they're responsible for it? >> a lot directed at public, don't believe your lying eyes. liz: joel griffith, great to see you, come back soon. up next, questions growing on that group behind the push by 2,000 former doj officials to out of, get rid of attorney
6:24 pm
general william barr. the media is portraying this push as grassroots as apolitical. we're digging in. we have the details. it is anything but that. it is an anti-trump group. it has a lot of democrats that worked for president obama, chuck schumer, adam schiff and elizabeth warren and more. stay there. >> yeah, i do make this job harder, i do agree with that. is true. he is a straight-shooter. we have a great attorney general. he is working very hard and working against a lot of people that don't want to see good things happen. president trump warned the drug companies.
6:25 pm
it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging
6:28 pm
6:29 pm
liz: the president today said he will pardon former new york city police commissioner bernie kerik, financeer michael milken, former san francisco 49ers owner edward debartolo, jr., and commute the sentencing for former illinois governor rod blagojevich. blagojevich was still serving his 14-year sentence in federal prison for attempting to essentially sell barack obama's senatorial vacant seat when he was president-elect. that was happening there. milken charged with insider trading. pleaded guilty in 1990 to securities tax and other violations and to the headlines this, look at this, more than 2,000 former doj officials are calling for attorney general william barr to step down after the attorney general recommended a three to four year sentence for roger stone, not the initial seven to nine years. so sentencing is still scheduled for thursday. let's bring in kt mcfarland, former deputy national security
6:30 pm
advisor. kt has a new book, revolution, trump, washington and we the people. there is a big controversy. your reaction, kt? >> look, somebody in washington is getting very, very nervous about what the durham report, john durham, the attorney in connecticut who has been asked to investigate the investigators look into the origins of the russia probe, the russia hoax, impeachment, all of this. he is going to absolutely have criminal charges leveled against some high officials in the obama administration and the intelligence community. impaneled a grand jury. he turned it into a criminal investigation. i think there are a lot of people in washington, the swamp creatures, who are very, very nervous about where this goes. they're particularly trying to take a preemptive strike not only against durham but particularly against attorney general barr because they know he is not afraid of taking the investigation where it needs to
6:31 pm
go, even if it uncover as lot of wrongdoing but some very high officials of the previous administration. liz: we've been covering it and tracking it. we found the fbi did have informants on the trump campaign, informants going well into the campaign. fbi fisa abuses. back to the sentencing, npr and "wall street journal" kimberly strassel said top prosecutors were blindsided if he they will excessive recommendations up to nine years. two of the prosecutors worked with special counsel robert mueller. your take on that. >> yeah. well, look i dealt with a lot of those people. i too was targeted by the mueller investigation and i do feel that they abused their power. they took all the files and records and phone logs that i and others had. they wouldn't give us access to them. then they basically said, what did you say on this phone call? you would say, i don't really remember, or i don't remember quite that way. they were in a position to say,
6:32 pm
ah-ha, we caught you in a lie, perjury. in the enemy case i refused to plead guilty for crimes i didn't commit. i refused to say that other people did things which i knew they didn't do. as a result, i called their bluff they went away. but other people they did pressure them. i think general flynn was set up. i do think he succumbed to their pressure and probably did plead guilty to crimes he didn't commit. liz: to your point, prosecutorial abuse, prosecutors are not infallible. crossfire hurricane probe had an fbi agent doing a debrief of then candidate trump and michael flynn. he was doing surveillance, getting information out of michael flynn to put into the fbi probe. didn't tell michael flynn or candidate trump miranda rights on this. mainstream media, cnn, "new york times," makes this
6:33 pm
group 2,000 doj officials, trying to make like it is not partisan. in fact it is an anti-trump group. it is called protect democracy. kt, has a long list of former democrat staffers who worked for adam schiff, chuck schumer, elizabeth warren and former obama administration officials. this is not a non-partisan group trying to get rid of ag barr. >> no. it is a very partisan group. former attorney general mike mukasey probably better than anybody. he says this is the same group of people who for two years sat around in panel discussions on cable news and they inhaled their own exhaust fumes and they got high on it and they kept saying there was collusion, there was wrongdoing, trump would be hauled out of the white house in chains. none of it came to pass. now this same group is taking their last swing. they tried the russia hoax. they tried the mueller investigation. they tried impeachment. they are now going to try to get rid of attorney general barr. why? because i think he is getting
6:34 pm
very close to uncovering the abuses that went on in the previous administration and using the power of the federal government to target political opponents. liz: to your point it is an important one you just made, open secrets is the watchdog group, found that justice department officials gave more to the hillary clinton campaign than to the trump campaign by a ratio of 18 to 1. i want to talk quickly about the thing about sentence disparity when it comes to roger stone. i mean we have, for example, the justice department in 2016 under president obama overruled the recommendation to pursue charges against hsbc. remember that? it was accused of laundering a billion bucks to drug traffickers. chelsea manning sentence was commuted. lesser known parents in the college admission scandals, they are getting twice the sentence than tv star felicity huffman. your final word, kt. >> i think the mueller
6:35 pm
investigation, the left over people from that are being very vin dick i have. they have prosecutorial discretion, so what they have done? obama people like deputy fbi director, no charge for him for doing the same crime they recommended an excessive sentence for roger stone. that isn't blind justice. that is one rule for you and one rule for me. liz: kt, you're great. come back soon. love having you on. >> thank you, liz. liz: breaking news. "the wall street journal" is saying michael bloomberg will sell his business, bloomberg, lp. that is the financial data and media company. put it in a blind trust. eventually sell it if he is elected president. coming up video emerging after fight breaking out right in the middle of a bernie sanders rally in colorado. that state has a primary on super tuesday. as this race is heating up so are the attacks and fighting in the bernie campaign. attacks on the bernie campaign against a nevada union. you won't believe the story that is coming up.
6:36 pm
6:37 pm
that's why we go beyond the numbers. you've been hearing a lot about 5g. but there's 5g... and then there's verizon 5g. we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's more than 10x faster than some other 5g networks. and it's rolling out in cities across the country so people can experience speeds that ultra wideband can deliver. 1.7 gigs here in houston. 1.8 gigs here in frigid omaha. almost 2 gigs here in los angeles. that's outrageous! it's like an eight-lane highway compared to a two-lane dirt road. ♪
6:40 pm
♪. liz: video surfacing of a brawl breaking out at a bernie rally in colorado. that state has its primary on super tuesday on march third. let's bring in former special assistant to president trump, kelly sadler. there is a lot of nasty fighting going on out there. >> yeah. it is getting into a real race where you have michael bloomberg pouring millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars to come in on super tuesday and sweep it. then you have bernie sanders who has legitimate supporters, albeit perhaps a little aggressive online. and soming a agressive surrogates like rashida tlaib who basically booed hillary clinton on stage but they're looking for a real revolution. they're revolutionaries that want to upturn the capitalist system into socialist one. it will be interesting to see how tomorrow night's debate pans
6:41 pm
out. it will definitely have some sparks in it. liz: what is interesting, beyond interesting -- let me back up. a nevada newspaper, nevada independent, saying two top culinary officials, nevada's biggest unionses faced threatening phone calls, e-mails, tweets and their personal information was shared online by bernie supporters. in tweets the bernie crowd is going after the union and its leadership. they have been referred to as a whole host of have garretts that we can't say on on 6:00 show. bernie said stop the bullying but his supporters are not letting up. >> they are passionate and -- liz: but they're vulgar and vicious. >> there is so much you can do as a candidate to stop these vicious vulgar online attacks. he would like the rhetoric to be calmed down. his supporters were disappointed
6:42 pm
in the fact that the culinary union did not make an endorsement and came out against "medicare for all" and against his campaign as he looks to win the nevada caucus. liz: that union has more than half of its members are latina women. bernie, the bernie bros and their vicious attacks, look what michael bloomberg campaign is doing with that. watch this. ♪ ♪. [bell ringing] liz: thinking is that bernie bros could disrupt the
6:43 pm
democratic convention. the final word? >> that is likely if the democratic establishment takes away the bernie in second round. seems like he is paying off a lot of people to endorse him and he is winning, going up in the polls. so bernie supporters are real and come out and protest if it doesn't go his way. liz: kelly, great having you on. up next the media double standard now attacking attorney general william barr for looking into justice department and fbi abuses in their probes into president trump. where were they on those abuses to begin with? the story next. >> he is a man of great integrity. the attorney general is a man with incredible integrity. just so you understand, i chose not to be involved. i'm allowed to be totally involved. as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance.
