♪ trish: all right. joe biden may have taken south carolina, but tonight we are roughly 30 hours away from a socialist possibly capturing super tuesday and thus, quite possibly, being on his way to the democratic nomination. good evening, i am trish regan. even though the democrats are desperately trying to stop him, comrade bernie is well on his way to being the most anti-american democrat nominee e in the history of this country, and if he were to ever win the presidency, i'll tell you, it's game over for our country, for our economy, for our future, for our children's futures. america is facing an identity crisis with a socialist poised to take the nomination.

granted, as i said, tonight the democrats are trying to prevent that. they've got amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg dropping out of the race to endorse joe biden. now, if bloomberg were smart, he would actually get out of the whole thing as well. but you can't buy senators, right? if -- smarts, right? i'll tell you. if you think investors are spooked about the coronavirus, i bet you ain't seen nothing yet, folks. if bernie sanders wins -- and i don't think he can, but it's not impossible so don't wouldn't it out. if he wins after nearly 250 years as an established country, as an established capitalist economy, as a beacon of hope, america as we know it will no longer exist. the values we have always upheld, they will no longer be american. of course, that's the goal, right? i mean, if bernie sanders were to win the presidency, i don't know, what happens to us? what happens to our economy? what happens to all our

wonderful innovation? our entrepreneur, our ceos? if they are not properly incentivizeed everything they're not properly rewarded. i mean, what happens to us on the fourth of july? i kind of like that holiday. are we going to replace it with may day to celebrate international workers instead? heck, he might. in all seriousness, it's actually not something we can joke about, because this poor excuse for a man, this comrade that took his bride to the soviet9 union -- lucky her -- and bashedded our cup on their soil during the height of the cold war, bernie sanders can and his communist social army, they would be all pleased to say bye-bye to everything that has made america great. they want to leave our strongest values, our protection of our human rights and our protection of property, they want to leave that behind. you see, that's actually what makes us different than the rest of the world. i mean, many things, right?

there's only one america. but fundamentally what really makes us different is our american respect and legal appreciation of individual rights and individual property. individual rights, individual property. i emphasize individual here. because we believe in the individual. government protects our rights as individuals, our rights as property ownerrings. we come together, right, as a community to insure those protections. we pay taxes for it to insure our individual security. that is where government comes in. but comrade bernie and his thugs finish and, yes, i call them thugs for a reason. take a look. you should see them. you should listen to them. >> when do we want it? trish: because this is what they think is okay. comrade bernie, rather than condemn them, chooses to pretend they are not part or at least not a big part of his

contingency by ignoring this radical element in this particular case they're harassing a lawmaker, won't let her out of her car. sanders is encouraging his thugs to engage in hate. comrade bernie has been enamored by and an instrumental part of the fringe left for decades. i mean, back if his days as mayor in burlington, vermont, he was encouraging this stuff. back then it was the height of the cold war. i was a school keyed in nearby new hampshire hiding under my desk with my classmates during routine regular nuclear attack drills because our country feared getting annihilated by the soviets, all while comrade bernie, then-mayor of burlington, vice president, was happening a soviet flag in his office. mayor bernie sanders was playing for his city's softball team which he named the people's republic of burlington. hmm.

then there was his town's minor league baseball town, the vermont reds. you get the picture. you see, comrade bernie thinks that by taking from peter to pay paul, he's a kind of robin hood, protecting the population from thievery. and that's not actually what happens. just look at cuba. look at nicaragua. look at the former soviet union. look at venezuela going on right now. they grease the wheels. they buy influence. they become a part of the system, and they become one of the chosen few, the bureaucrats controlling an individual's destiny. but the people, the people, the ones in bernie's america, they're the ones that lose out. they will lose out to bernie. remember that. and just look south to our latin american neighbors to see what's really going on right now in a socialest country like

venezuela. that is tonight's intel. joining me right now is a venezuelan activist, debbie d'souza. it's good to catch up because i know you've been at the forefront of the wholen venezuela issue. you have a lot of family still there, and you've experienced and your family has experienced firsthand just how awful that place has become over, what, the two decades as they embraced chavez and now maduro. what is it americans need to know? >> americans need to know that a bernie, a united states of america with bernie as president would be absolutely catastrophic. they have, they have no idea the amount of crime, the amount of homelessness that they would see all across america. they can look at, they can look at l.a., they can look at san francisco, maybe some parts of new york. that would be all of america. trish: people try and bal true

wis inhere. maybe it's more fair and you get to have a living wage or whatever, andrew yang and his folks were calling it, free college, free tuition, open borders. this is very utopia. but in reality -- i mean, sounds great to some people. not to me, but it sounds great to some people. in reality, that utopia starts to crumble, and you've seen that firsthand. >> well, hugo chavez lied about who he was when he came in. my a grandparents would have never voted for him had they known he was a full blown socialist. they voted for him in the first election, yes, in 1999. he fooled a lot of people. he said that he was going to fix venezuela, and if he was not a good president, he would step down after phi years. they get to be president for six. he would step down voluntarily. trish: that didn't happen.

i was working at goldman saks, and we were trading -- goldman sachs, and we thought, well, it can't be that bad. >> it was that bad. >> it was that much worse. in a 20-year time, you get a country that enjoyed a high standard of living in latin america going to utter poverty. the video we're showing is people actually trying to get water out of a sewer area, and they'll have to clean it, of course. they don't have food, water, electricity. that's the reality of socialism that people forget. >> that is exactly the reality. i get texts if my aunt all the time through what's app, debbie, you know, please help me, help me. and if it wasn't for us sending her very little money at a time because we can't seven her too much, she would probably be dead by now, trish. trish: debbie, thank you so much. good to have your perspective on all of it. quite a warning. okay. far-left nbc host chuck todd demanding the vp if name names.

>> it was dark because he's made clear that his mind is dark. this is somebody in deep psychological distress right now. trish: coming up, you not going to believe the despicable anti-trump dance john harwood's doing after u.s. markets had their worst week since the 2008 financial crisis. but first, why did obama jr. wannabe, the little mimic, pete buttigieg, actually drop out? >> just a thought. >> brings us together. >> this country was built -- >> it's a movement reaching church basements -- and at our schools -- >> [inaudible conversations] >> shines as a beacon around the world once more. and this is our chance to answer that call. trish: next, did the empty suit sell out for a biden top spot? i'm going to show you some evidence right after this. don't go anywhere. good♪ ♪ [ applause ] thank you.

near the white house. an themty suit -- empty suit. i'm curious what happened. why did he just hours before tell "meet the press" this? >> every day is a day that we've reached the conclusion pushing forward is the best thing we can do for the country or for the party. trish: is it because he cut a teal? a cabinet position, maybe vp for joe biden's ticket? nice he's teaming up with -- at least he's teaming up with joe biden, not bloomberg. >> we've got mini mike, but i think he's out of it. pocahontas destroyed him. he didn't know what hit him! he's going, oh, get me off of this stage!

though there may be a little something wrong with eating salad with a comb. she must have been really hungry. that's the amy klobuchar thing. i think depress. it was supposed to be a segway because she's announcing she's out too. are the democrats finally coming to their senses in this last ditch effort to box out comrade bernie? because that's sure what it feels like. we're just waiting on mike bloomberg. joining me right now is amy tarkanian, former nevada gop chair. what's your thought on this? he's out there saying, no, no, it's good for the party, he goes on national television and says that, then reroutes his plane. amy klobuchar dropping out today, this is pretty unprecedented, by the way. i looked back into the history of all super tuesdays when that became a thing back in 1988. we've never had a situation where two candidates just drop out mysteriously hours before we go to the election booth.

what do you think's going on? >> that definitely confirms that there is panic with the establishment, and panic with those moderates in the democrat party. the fact that the pressure is mounting heavily to have both of these, quote-unquote, moderate candidates drop in the same within 24 hours, you're right, it is up precedented. but i think also, too, you know, the writing is on the wall. if polling does hold, neither one of them were going to pick up enough delegates, so i think it was probably a win/win for those two. trish: okay, so those two, you've still got some others in there, mike bloomberg included. the longer he hangs on, the more he's taking votes away from joe biden p. do you think we're going to see him fold too? >> i caught some of his town hall on fox leading up to your show, and i think that he tried to do a fairly decent job one on one, i be i think once he comes toe to toe with the president, he's going to be eaten alive.

knox. >> going to him, no, not at all. trish: in some ways, right, because you've got to be able to deliver. the american public expects that. we live, you know, for better or for worse or n a media age. and you need to be able to convey that personality through a television screen. and unfortunately, mike bloomberg, that may be his greatest challenge. he may have all the accolades in the world, but if he can't connect, it's like hillary clinton all over again, isn't it? the that was her problem, amy, she could not connect. >> absolutely. yes, absolutely. and for his social media network that he's got, you know, moving at a very fast pace out of the blue, it's because he's had to hire people on his -- yeah. with all those quick-witted comments. no, it's not him. he's had to hire people to help him look -- trish: people make fun of donald trump for the spelling errors, and i'm like, hey, at least we

went with him to europe, when he introduced him to other folks who are pieces of this investigation, when they opened it up to the intelligent community, when clapper and brennan all of a sudden had to start getting worried they were going to get subpoenas and go before a grand jury, those are the kinds of things that made me think this is an investigation that's not simply not finding anything, they're going to make sure it sticks. trish: we know of one lawyer already that was there and fudged a bunch of paperwork so he could get that fisa warrant. do you expect him to be looking at an indictment along with others? >> i would hope so, yes. you can't -- i made this statement just the other today when we were in a speech i gave. it was at cpac when i said, look, i disagree with the attorney general on the mccabe issue. he should have been charged, he should have went before a court, and if he could make his case and get out, that's fine. but normal people out there do not believe they can lie to the

police and get away with it. but he admitted he lied, he was fired because he was lying, and yet we're not charging him -- trish: the deal he got, right? going down at the same time, so it was a really good juxtaposition. so mccabe gets off scot-free? why would that be? >> again, why did he make the case? i'm not sure. go to michael flynn. i mean, this is the thing we've got to work on. that's why i put the confidence in durham that durham has a necessary tools, he has the necessary ingredients to make it, but he wants to make sure when he makes this case, in my opinion as someone who's been in defense and some prosecution, you want to make sure the case going to stick. trish: so any sense of timing then? >> i'm hoping this spring. i think we're getting closer. i think that there's been enough time to go through this. a lot of this has been discovered or, and we're finding it out, so i think we're going to see this in the next few weeks, few months and see, hopefully, some accountability

♪ ♪ trish: well, so much for the objectivity of the white house correspondent. i want you to see what cnn white house reporter tweeted out over the weekend. quote: for those keeping score, change in dow jones industrial average from the day they inaugust a rated of their fourth year in office, trump up 28, obama up 63%. wow. of course, keep in mind obama started his term with a dow that was really low because the market had totally cratered by the time he took office. in fact, his election didn't help things at all. between november when he was elected and inauguration day, there were additional losses in

the market. president trump, on the other hand to, started with a market that had already been inflated by eight years of zero interest rates, massive, massive fiscal stimulus. all the qes. the fed was is so desperate to generate growth because obama did nothing, and his stimulus package was a total joke. we printed money for nearly a decade. president trump, on the other hand, enacted strong, i'd say brilliant economic policy. by the way, lower taxes and less regulation. which along with hissing constant optimism and don't upside estimate that, that's important, helped drive growth. as such, our markets, they soared. they were totally back on the mend too today. i mean, up 1300 points, so that's good news. hopefully that continues. but remember, this president had a media against him, right? unlike obama. and he confronted and still confronts democrats opposing everything he does at every turn. and yet the heft and obama shamelessly are out trying to

take credit for trump's rising stock market. >> the economy produced eight million jobs in the last three years of president obama's administration. the economy's been growing since six months into barack obama's president is i. >> -- presidency. >> we're in the 11th year of the obama recovery. >> donald trump inherited a strong economy from barack and me. >> 11th year of the obama recovery. >> trump continues to try the claim credit for economic growth that was put in motion by the policies of president obama. [laughter] trish: and here's obama's tweet: 11 years ago today near the bottom of the worst recession in generation, i signed the recovery act paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in american history. [laughter] dream on! dream on, all right? i'll tell you what's benefited the market during the eight years of the obama presidency, and it had nothing to do with barack obama and nothing to do with joe biden. everything to do with the

federal reserve, the only game in town. the policy out of the white house was so anemic, so lousy, the morale so bad, mean, these guys would get a good jobs report and you sure wouldn't know it. you sure wouldn't know it because they had nothing good to say about business, about our economy and consequently, you know, people didn't feel so good about things. so the fed had to do what it did. you know, keep in mind, however, them taking credit for stuff, that was two weeks ago. how time flies, right? tonight this horrible virus out of china has created all this fear, it's caused this global market meltdown -- better today -- and john harwood and cnn want to somehow keep score and suggest that the coronavirus is president trump's fault? come on. i mean, cue the whistleblower, right? all of this stuff, shameful. joining me right now, media reporter for the hill, joe concha. joe, it is good to see you.

you and i have talked at length about this in the past, but it never ceases to amaze me, the bias that's so inherent and so on display, if you would, at this moment in time. walk us through it. what's going on? >> well, it's dangerous too now, right? because as you said, and you rightly pointed out before, coronavirus is a very serious thing. and more than ever we need responsible reporting that brings everything into context. you put up those numbers before around swine flu versus coronavirus. how about just the flu in general, right? in the winter of 2018, 80,000 people in this country were killed by the flu. coronavirus currently has a death toll of 6. that will continue to rise, but compared to the flu or compared to other flus of the past, we need to put all that into context so there isn't a panic out there. and instead by our media we're seeing a panic for profit, because fear sells, and it motivates people to watch tv more and, therefore, ratings go up. as for john harwood, you may

recall in 2016 he said that as a moderator during a presidential debate, i still can't believe he got the go ahead for that, said to president trump, is this a comic book campaign that you're running? he then bragged about the question in an e-mail to john podesta who was only hillary clinton's chief campaign manager. and we know this because it's in print because-revealed by wikileaks. for cnn to hire him as a white house correspondent, he's not a correspondent, trish, he's an activist. he should be working for the dnc or for a democratic presidential campaign and not serving along jim acosta because we both know exactly who they are. they give opinions, share their feelings and do anything but report. trish: is cnn even a news network at this point? i mean, i think it's a fair question the ask because their entertainment value seems to have superseded everything else, right? all day long from whatever, 5 a.m. until 12 midnight. this is what they're delivering

up, joe. >> it seems that opinion has worked its way boo all of its news programs. with fox you hear the complaint, well, you know, the opinion is this and, look, the news people at fox news and fox business, when you're doing news, you know news. i know when chris wallace and bret baier are doing news, it's the news, tucker carlson, laura ingraham are doing the prime time stuff, that's opinion. there is a separation -- thinking trish: cnn, no separation. >> if you're bernard shaw, the guy who reported in the iraq war underneath a desk while bombs are falling in baghdad, that's a newsman. he probably watches and says what the heck is going on with my network that used to be the gold standard of news and now, as you said -- i wish i could say it's for entertainment because they're currently behind tlc, investigation discovery, hallmark channel. it's not even like it's paying -- i don't know what is going on over there, because it's not good for business, that's certainly sure.

trish: well put. hey, joe, some news breaking this evening, chris matthews retiring, leaving msnbc. i want to show the viewers a clip of him tonight. >> let's not say good-bye, but til we meet again. trish: and then he just left. and that was near the top of the show? i'm confirming with our team. three minutes into his show. it sounds like, i don't know, he might have gotten a little annoyed at management. what's your take on it? >> i think for anybody like a chris matthews who's been on that network longer than anybody to retire 250 days before a presidential election, a political animal like chris matthews? the only conclusion you can come to is he was asked to leave. sexual harassment allegations about him not just now, but in the past, comparing the bernie sanders victory in nevada to nazis taking france, and he actually confused a black democratic senate candidate with a republican tim scott for the

senate. all those things in one week, msnbc couldn't defend him anymore, they asked him to leave. it seems that's the case. trish: well, too bad. i had a soft spot for him, i liked him. liked him. okay.
