and stage is teat for democratic presidential primary debate tonight in las vegas. it is attack number nine but it will be debate number one for michael bloomberg making his very first appearance on that stage and with his reason rising polls how will his contenders attack him we bring in in the strategist david morrey and john thomas,ing good morning. >> good morning. how are they going to attack mayor bluing? prchg how are they? leading democratic contenders are frosting at this contrast tonight and waiting for this entire life to run against billionaire of all billionaire and we've seen there's been opposition research dump on mike bloomberg from assaulting the gray matter of farmers to intelligence of young people to his policy on stop and frusk. this is going to be a mind field for mike bloomberg to navigate tonight. >> which talking point there was line of attack david do you

expect them to use the most as they, you know, like form of -- a fire squad around mayor bloomberg. >> welcome to thunder dome it's so far most pivotal event in the campaign so far. something could happen. >> yeah absolutely something could happen on this stage that determines the presidency that's literally true. bloomberg is going to be in firing squad, and he's going to be surrounded as you say by incoming fire john is right but look there's no surprise attacks here. he knows who is going to say what. number two bloomberg is prepared don't kid yourself he's been practicing rehearsing, bloomberg has got a smart campaign team around him and they're not going to be unprepared going into this debate and a little rusty as debated since 2009 but he'll be ready. it will be fascinating. >> yeah. but the other five men and women on that stage john have had eight previous debates and take a look at this if you look at the number of tv interviews has contenderses have done this month alone, 24 from mayor pete

buttigieg so mayor bloomberg is going to come across asking being a little bit rusty, no? tfnlgt that's it. there's no replacement for time in the debate stage. and the stakes couldn't be higher here. i mean look i think bloomberg to some degree is looking forward to the contrast . he wants i think his strategy going into the night is pretty simple. first do no harm and second go to war and make this two-man contest between bernie and himself leaving everybody else in the dust. but he can do that, i think this will be a success for him. >> but there's a question of enthusiasm and you have the enthusiasm in two places on the democratic side david you have it with bernie sanders. and you have it on the trump side if you look at a mammoth university recent poll two-thirds of americans believe donald trump gets reelected if you look at the new hampshire primary david, he got almost 130,000 votes basically over double what president obama what george w. bush got in that primary during their reelection bid. money can't buy enthusiasm or

can it? >> money cannot. but 300 million can buy you a place on stage tonight. bloomberg just can't contribute that paid media and john is say i agree with john. bloomberg is going to have to survive incoming and bernie sanders is going to have a very interesting debate because all of a sudden he has a foil. the truth is bloomberg is better positioned i think to beat trump as a more competent outsider versus sanders all a that progressive energy. one more quick point 12% get pulled away from sanders that's warren vote 32% pulled away hypothetically from biden klobuchar and beating trump very very -- >> who will take on trump moderate or left? >> you know i have to think had it remiekdz me a lot of 2016 in primary when they said trump had a -- had had a ceiling where he couldn't make it so i think at this point bernie sanders is

probably the nominee i don't to call yet. but -- things are trending in that direction. about? i just don't know and short on bloomberg i think he can go the distance go not create thane news yasm you need more than money to do it. and his fast statements i think are going to hand cap him. >> oarngd, the democrats want to win so badly that's automatic energy. >> all right we'll see gentlemen thank you for the time. >> thanks. >> thanks. all right we're looking at a kickoff to your wednesday markets we've actually got green arrows to screen you can see dow is up 68 points right now and s&p is up 7 and three quarters nasdaq up 33 in the premarket. all right, do you want to gamble on trip to space and new spacex program launching private travelers into orbit. most couples probably try to avoid work on a date night. but not this couple. the incredible night out for two off-duty police officers. keep it here on fbn:am.

they'ring going to charge between 200 and 250,000 so definitely this is a pricey, pricey trip to space. but maybe -- >> who proves this, though, an average person like u.s. government -- for fly. >> right exactly they oversee that nasa has been working with spacex and working with boeing, and whatever jeff bezos company is called that lawrveg u launches rockets name escapes me. they're all working together on ensuring that things are safe. the dragon crew capsule was tested with nasa. so they have kind of given their sign off on that and assumption if it is safe for astronauts it is safe for people. which is a -- big guess astronauts are like nerves of steal. >> virgin galactic talking about doing this back in 2007 now it is 2020. we still haven't done it. lots of test.

saying that perhaps the end of next year. >> they're saying 2021, 2022. i do believe it because they've been aggress of with everything they've done so far and they have successfully tested crew capsule. they have launched it into space where they're launching astronauts they hope to launch astronauts this year. so that will be a good sign off. question is how much does it cost, and what's the experience is this are you going to go for going to be like an hour trip into space? which would be amazing -- >> i mean for you. so annoying robo calls they actually might have some good news. >> yes. there's an app for that literal hi -- lauren did the interview with the app developer and we have great information for you. it is called the do not pay app. so get this, they give you a phony credit card and they register for national do not call list if you haven't done that already and if you haven't done that you should absolutely do that. once you're on do not call list if they helicopter to call you they're already breaking law so

theory behind app is they give you this burner credit card you give them and say your car warn teen is expired which car is that that i don't own that i need a warrantee on you give them information and they have lawyers that step in. >> so you can sue. you can sue based on the information are from the the app. okay. >> for up to 3,000 per call so cha-ching. >> how great is that all of a sudden robo calls seem like a good idea. keep them coming guys. said no one ever. brett larson brett thank you so much. catch brett on fox news headlineses siriusxm channel 113 racing to action when a burglar holds cashier at gunpoint police detectives chase nicole drawing weapon at the suspect seen running out of raising cane restaurant in kentucky that man is under arrest. >> productive kate night. all right from date night to diapers question asked you are you okay? we asked you yesterday if you would put off having kids

because of how much it cost to raise them? >> all rightlet get some of your responses team system says it is investment not an expense the returns can't be measured in dollars. >> well within tweeted this yes 100% if you started having when you're broke -- that's called irresponsible. and finally kathy says i postpone even having a girlfriend because they're too expensive so consensus is -- kids are expensive. expensive with every penny. let's peak a look at your pennies right now dow up about 67 points thissing nasdaq high and any higher a record. s&p up 7. we continue to watch the death toll rise from the corona virus is it now more deadly than the regular flu? and how worried should we be about it spreading right here at home -- and not the junk bond came michael milken what does that mean for his legacy if he

here's morning top headlineses to get you through the day it is a thin city shopdown tonight six 2020 contenders take the stage in las vegas and democratted expected to aim at mike bloomberg who did qualify at the last minute former new york city nay your has a recently come under fire for series of controversial remarks he made years ago. a new case of corona virus confirmed in california overnight that patienting being treated in isolation in napa, county another person under investigation. they're both evacuated from a quarantined cruise ship in japan. a group of travelers if from wyoming man, china just clearing to go home after a two-week quarantine in california. and a president trump part aening hike el milken so-called junk bond king he served two

years in prison in 19 90s offer pleading guilty to six counts of security and tax violations. trump also commuting the sentence to former illinois govan rod blagojevich. now that president has pardoned michael milken is he able to reclaim legacy on wall street if he returns to the security industry and financial planner it shall of in the is here, and that's a question do you think e he tries to come back? >> i don't think directly. you would have to reapply for fcc, and although he can't they can't disqualify him for being a felon any longer he hassing to go through application process so they could still keep him out but what i think more likely will happen is get more involved around em with investment firms, and he was producted from doing that and i think he can do that and might want his expertise. a cancer survivor this happened back in 80s and served prison tile in the 90s and built

entire new career, books, and speaking endangerments that seems to be more -- of an attractive but set a life that way. >> he has. he's still the 600 richest person in the world. so that's something he's raised a ton of money for cancer research, so i think in the -- how doesn't everybody deserve a second chance in that respect if you say look at the what he's done in his life okay a lot of positives and i'm sure he's going to continue that as well. >> speaking of wall street let's talk about mike bloomberg taken to debate stage in nevada, and this is interesting because he's proposed a tax plan he's looking at tax and stock trades, in other financial transactions, this is a man that owns bloomberg lp which by the way be sells terminals to traders i'm not sure what had to make of all of this the 180 that mike bloomberg has said here. >> made money clearly selling to people but now might be going after for one but i think it is more important if you think about average investor and half of us have money investedded in

some way through pension funds or 401(k) he's going to raise fees on these even index funds their fees can go up by 10% as a result of the financial transaction tax. and a period when firms have worked hard to lower ho cost for investors he wants to raise it and with amount of money he think he's going to raising ting happen hads and never raise that amount of money because people on wall street will figure out ways to get around that. >> when he was mace your of new york he was -- kind of anti-a regulation i go to another 180 i'm sure will come up tonight. nomplet question about it. i hope it comes up because he should be challenged because he's speaking on opposite side of the mouth for all of these years making his had billions. >> let's talk about issue of corona virus we're going to be hearing beginning from fed in minutes. big question mark, obviously, does feds see an impact on u.s. economy? based on the the corona virus, china is starting to kind of come out now and saying own up to fact they're going to have issues does it affect us do you think? >> i think it the might have a

minor impact but not enough to move fed to do anything than do nothing through the election. not going to mess with interest rates. ening that's what they're looking for. could it had a short-term impact it certainly might in some way but not to the -- we have to e see it affect china a little bit more first before it assents us. i don't see it happening in time before they do anything with -- >> earnings calls these companies are coming the asked about corona virus analysts on wall street are very concerned. >> hasn't worked into earnings yet and i'm worried about that in third and fourth quarter because we need a higher stock market. >> operations in china apple first to throw out that issue. doug flynn thank you very much. lauren over to you. >> new question this morning as corona virus continues to spread around the world the death toll now toking 2,000 doctor is city md medical director with us right now. thanks for joining us. good morning so china says crowe virus is more deadly than flu. is that true? >> in the united states absolutely not. i'm having many, many patients

come in a near collapse of influenza a influenza b that is what is killing americans. is influenza not corona virus now we don't know numbers in china they're telling us 70, 60,000 are those real number? so we look at what is called mortality rate the mortality rate for is 19 might be higher n china but it's definitely not more deadly here in the united states because we have a strong robust health care infrastructure to prevent americans from getting the corona virus to prevent this spread of this virus from one fern to another. >> doctor as cruise ship passengers return home as those who are at that -- military air force base in california, their quarantine is over they return home, are you confident that none of them have the corona virus or transmitted the corona virus to anybody else in the process? >> so after a 14-day feared of quarantine, that's a lot of time

and usually if you're coughing and sneeze, and usually have symptoms that's when you're most contagious or have a fever. but after 14 days even though they're going to be dismissed we're still going to monitor them, watch them call them how are you doing? are you having a fever so have to take common sense precautions. but ideally after 14 days the level of containousness, tengdzing to go down -- >> what if those patients who is didn't show symptom? >> that's why they watch them for 14 days because you usually would show successfuls really between four to 7 days. the most if they found were patients with start to show symptom after 11 days that's why they created that 14-day period. but here in the united states we only have 15 cases 15 patients approximately so far, and most of them all of them are actually doing well. they're doing okay. many of them don't have any symptoms -- they're asymptomatic but being monitored and on top of that to be proactive in this country, about in the united states, lauren, we're actually going to begin in five cities to conduct

just broad surveillance. meaning if i have a patient that comes in with flu-like successfuls and i swab them for flu and they're negative, then we're going to continue to swab them corona virus just to be proactive to see circulating in this country. just to make sure sha we prevented spread in transmission. you're not worried which is refreshing but there's 29 cases of corona virus right here in u.s. and i remember some of the passengers evacuated 300 plus passengers from that cruise ship in japan they didn't show symptoms yet in the process of taking them from the cruise ship to the charter plane, they were diagnosed with the corona virus and that worried a lot of people myself included. >> well we expect that to happen i expect to see more cases it that's why they were tested and that's why they were quarantined in a different section of the airplane so they didn't spread to other people and then they're being tested again. when they come to the u.s. monitor e see how they're doing. are they going to get tested again and now no longer test positive. so it is a matter of close follow-up, watching them closely, and a prevention

prevention by being prepared. doctor jen thank you very much. >> let's take a look at futures right now because markets are closely watching corona virus issue and impact on the economy around the world. right now the dow is up by 63. s&p is up by 7 and a half nasdaq up 32 and three quarters. the harvey weinstein jurors heading into day two of deliberations today. but did they drop a hint on the disgraced movie producers face? and hits a snag and a royal rebuke going to cramp this style of harry and megyn keep it here on fbn:am.

we are headed into second day of deliberation abouts in harvey weinstein sexual assault with thrill with the jury already sending et note to the judge. asking him to clarify the charges qien seen faces and for copies of some of the evidence including e-mails and a blueprint weinstein apartment where one of those assault allegedly took place. is there an a end in sight to this trial which way is the jury going to rule? what do we know let's bring in former federal a the prosecutor and pus attorney colleen middleton. good morning. >> pg good morning the jury asked for written definition of the charge being considered they brought up different counts three, four, five it sounds like

they're talking about -- a combination of counts maybe one count, any of which if he's convicted could be devastating for him he's 67. what do you make of this question from the jury? >> well these are complex charges. especially the predatory sexual assault. i think that the jury just wants to make sure that they understand the circumstances of the various accusationses so the blueprint of the apartment makes sense because the assault aledly took place in his apartment. but you know, i think that the the jury often teams will come back with questions some of them are meaningful some of them aren't. so we just have to wait to see as to what this really means for the deliberations. >> because you know "the wall street journal" says that you know, that experts say these are conflicting signal i talked to one legal source this morning he said to his mind, that the jury is probably going to convict him

of something. at least one of these counts and he said it was because of -- even though she's not part of this she was brought in to testify. and that -- potentially her testimony was the damming piece here against weinstein. >> yeah. i think that the fact that prior bad act evidence and witnesses allowed in -- you know creates problem or for weinstein. but they had to bring in these other accusers to prove that predatory sexual assault it is an element. so you know, i think that the women all were, you know, very convince, very emotional. so you know, i think that you know all of the accusers wish they could have testified -- but it came down to these particular witnesses. >> how strong is the case against weinstein in your opinion based on what we've heard from the jury?

>> like i said emotional testimony holds a lot of sway with the jury. i wouldn't be surprised about a compromise verdict. i think that the charges regarding man are much more difficult given the -- you know parent consensual relationship that lasted five years. as far as goes, i think that the rate charge is persuasive. so if i had to, you know, bet on it, i would say that perhaps a compromise verbatim is coming if. >> what is a compromised verdict mean i'm sorry -- >> sure. it's when the jury had will -- acquit a defendant of some offenses yet convict him on others. >> so -- i think that the case regarding man is a lot weaker. but you know, these are are tough cases because you know, a lot all of these assaults are older. st there, there's no dna evidence to corroborate, of course. so women did not report the

conduct immediately. and there are some inking the cities in their stories. >> colleen it is fascinating and evidence colleen middleton we thank you for getting up early and appreciate your expert opinion. >> thank you so much for having me. well another 79 people onboard that diamond princess cruise ship in japan confirmed positive for the corona virus bringing total to 621. iran also confirming two cases there. that's the first to hit that country let's take a look as markets are reacting and they are not. the dow is up 70 points s&p up 8, nasdaq up 3 2 this morning a fast food worker going extra while to return a big chunk of change. the impressive act of customer service that will restore your faith in humanity this morning. strong words, and mcdonald's shake it up shamrock shake but a twist and we have got them here in studio when fbn:am returns.
