7:01 am
candidate, tulsi gabbard will be here, a race where 24 delegates in new hampshire versus 41 in iowa, keep in mind you need 1,990 to win, this is a very early in the process sort of thing that we have going on here to put that in perspective and the numbers, guys, we have a very long way to go, now, a lot of attention being focused on the debate last night, who got the better part of that, whether the list of participants was fairly allotted, we will get that with congresswoman gabbard. in new hampshire they are defining issues that in the last 72 hours, this state that is notoriously for swinging wildly in polls seem to be stone, no way of knowing what will happen in the next 3 days.
7:02 am
ellison following the candidates there, ellison. >> hey, neil, candidates are speaking at a forum focused on women's right, reproductive rights and that impacts courts, we heard former mayor pete speak first and andrew yang; tom steyer addressing the crowd, we expect to hear from eight 2020 hopefuls, mayor pete appears to be rising in the polls, new hampshire tracking poll, likely new hampshire democratic primary voter comes out every 2 days, pete buttigieg is narrowly leading the back with 25% respondents is leading as chief rival senator bernie sanders holding steadyia yours -- steadt
7:03 am
24%. >> how do you explain the risk in black arrests in south bend under your leadership for marijuana possession? [applause] >> the overall race was lower. >> no, there was an increase. >> is that a substantial answer from mayor pete buttigieg? >> no. >> we have to have medicare for all but bernie says, he says he wrote the damn thing and unwilling to say what the damn thing is going to cost. >> sanders campaign says they raised $25 million in january and plan to make a $5.5 million ad buy in 10 states ahead of super tuesday, the pete buttigieg campaign said they raised $2.7 million since the iowa caucus but warren supporters, they are being massively outraised by the sanders' campaign, neil.
7:04 am
neil: ellison, thank you very much, a lot of the attention seems to be still on what happened in iowa and more to the point what didn't happen in iowa, we've got all 100% precincts now reporting but news organizations are still having a tough time declaring a winner considering too close to call between mayor pete buttigieg and of course, senator bernie sanders. the fallout from that where they are not only looking to take the head of the guy who heads the iowa democratic party but maybe the guy who heads the national one as well. mike tobi in with the latest. >> hey, there neil, campaigns have a deadline of noon today to submit any inconsistencies. sanders campaign have flagged some problems but likely campaigns moved onto new hampshire and trying to leave iowa ms. behind. iowa caucuses do have osseter of dnc tom pérez, reportedly he provided little communication ahead of iowa meltdown and quick
7:05 am
to jump on twitter and jump on the air to criticize the people working on the ground. >> the iowa democratic party runs the caucus, okay, and they -- what happened was unacceptable at the same time we came in there, we want to make sure that everything is right and we at the democratic national committee, this was unacceptable. >> chairman of iowa pushed back only when pérez demanded rerecanvassing, when it came time to defend his work or his stat, he did not engage the fight. >> i've been proud to work with -- proud of partnership with dnc, we continue, you know, throughout this process and that's all i'm going to say.
7:06 am
>> he had not personally tried ahead of the big night. thus far the two out in front pete buttigieg and sanders are show nothing sign of rere rerecanvassing, neil. neil: a lot of candidates will be doing that including my next guest, the hawaii democratic congresswoman tulsi gabbard. >> good to see you. neil: a lot of people think even tom pérez, head of democratic national committee, he should go >> first we need to find out the problems, the things that went wrong are disservice for voters
7:07 am
no iowa who went and spent their time so voices can be heard and voices have not been heard in clear way, whether it's the iowa caucus chair working in concert with the dnc chair they would proactively themselves want to make sure that those results are accurately count today best serve the residents of iowa. neil: you know, as you know, iowa holds a unique position of the first in the nation contest, do you think it should have that 4 years from now? >> that's up to the states to decide, the states determine when they hold their primary elections, what i've been advocating for now for years are some very key reforms to our democratic primaries, i think they should be open primaries, i think they should allow same-day registration so you don't have people in new york, for example, who if they didn't register, 5 months before election day, they can't go and vote, and i think we need to get rid of super delegates, once again, this is continuing to be an issue of
7:08 am
concern to voters here in new hampshire who are worried about their vote actually being counted and how they don't want it to be overruled by a small group of individuals who can come in and say, you know what, i don't think you guys know what you're doing, we will come in -- neil: since emergence of bernie sanders as possible nominee, they are revisiting the rule in place now that super delegates can't vote on the first ballot. if they do that, change that, what do you think? >> the issue is i think moving it back from the first ballot to second ballot was a very small step in the right direction but i want to be clear, we have to get rid of super delegates altogether and the change was not anywhere near enough once again to make sure that democrats are standing by the decision that voters make on who our democratic nominee will be. neil: open primary, not just anyone at any party, if that were the math, you would pull a
7:09 am
lot better because conservatives are drawn to you, independents are drawn to you but in some of the rules you are between rock and hard place. >> this is bigger -- it's not about me or my campaign, it's something that i've been calling for for years since 2016 primary elections where i saw and met with people who are democrat, who are independents here in new hampshire, undeclared and who want to make sure that their voice is heard, we need to make it as easy and accessible as possible for people to go and participate in our democracy. neil: how do you feel, aren't able to participate in the debate last night and recently made rules in the party to all but grief the skits for mike -- bloomberg to be be able to debate. >> it's wrong, the fact that a billionaire can come in and have that kind of influence to change rules of dnc, all of a sudden not coincidentally to benefit mike al bloomberg while voters
7:10 am
in new hampshire and across the country, hey, we want to make the best informed decision as possible before we cast our vote understanding the seriousness of the election and they are not able to do so so long as dnc and partners are enacting the rules and they are playing favorites, they are picking voters and losers before voters have an opportunity to do. neil: do you think that you're an odd women, going after hillary clinton, suing hillary clinton for saying you're agent of the russians and all of that, the process they used that it's an uphill battle for you? >> of course. it's how you determine what the tide is, if you're looking at the powerful elite in washington, absolutely, i and so many people across the country are challenging the power elite who have shown they are not work forking the best interest of the people. so we are calling for the truth, we are calling for a straight-forward process for vote toaster make sure that their voices are heard in this
7:11 am
demarco: and so that we can actually have a government that's of by and for the people and not power elite in washington. neil: you're up against a fundraising disadvantaged, i was noticed in this case tom steyer has spent 14 and a half million including new hampshire and surrounding media markets, michael bloomberg not focusing on the state 6.2 million, you're at 390,000. we are at a disadvantage. i will take the opportunity now to ask your viewers if you like to contribute to my campaign, go to tulsi2020.com, i'm focused on directing my message to voters. neil: could you accept any of the candidates -- >> i'm focused on -- i'm focused on winning. neil: i'm sure you are, you don't join the camp that says a
7:12 am
socialist and bernie sanders is the nominee, political suicide? >> no, i don't. i don't believe that. what i believe and what i hear from voters here is that they want a new generation of leadership, but they also want someone who has experience, experience to walk in on day one prepared to lead and to serve as commander in chief of our armed forces and experience to be able to work with congress to be actually be able to get things done, to solve problems and what i bring to the table is experience in those areas, having served at the federal, state and local levels, serving in congress for 7, going on 8 years and having served in the military for 17 years and deploying twice to the middle east, able to bring people together, heal the divides in our country where while we can agree to disagree on certain issues, even strongly, we stand together motivate bid this love for our country and understanding that when we stand and work side by side as
7:13 am
americans, we can accomplish anything. neil: you know, the president yesterday as you probably know congresswoman fired gordon sondland, and alexander vindman top security official, another people friday night massacre, what richard nixon did back in the 70's, do you agree with that? >> i disagree with so many of trump's decision especially foreign policy and i've been outspoken in the area, ultimately whether people like it or not there are consequences to elections and the president has within his purview to make the decisions about who he like serving in his cabinet. neil: thank you very much. >> good to see you, neil. 72 hours. neil: all right, tulsi gabbard, thank you very much, in the meantime interesting poll, how do you feel about your life and how you are doing, how your kids are doing, you future, 90% of
7:14 am
7:17 am
hey, our worker's comp insurance is expiring. should i just renew it? yeah, sure. hey there, pie insurance here to stop you from overpaying for worker's comp. try pie and save up to 30%. it's easy. sweet! get a quote in 3 minutes at easyaspie.com. >> we are making our country stronger than ever before, we are doing numbers that you wouldn't believe, nobody would have thought it was possible. this morning the brand-new job's numbers came in, we smashed expectations an created 225,000 new jobs last month. [cheers and applause] neil: indeed, that was off the chart better than most expected, 225,000 new jobs to kick off decade with something and seen coming, unemployment rate itself, hoovering at century lows 3.6%, so the president has that along with pretty good markets going for him, yesterday
7:18 am
not withstanding the markets are in and out of record territory, nevertheless, you have the backdrop of a number of consumer sentiment surveys but this one caught my attention, the number of americans who feel good about themselves, their kids, their future, it has never been this high, 9 out of 10 of us are getty, so does that translate into a goodwin of the president's back, let's get the read from steven, republican party chairman. >> thank you so much, welcome to the granite state. neil: beautiful state at that, you get snow now and then. >> we do. [laughter] neil: you were telling me in the break that you were the first to endorse donald trump? >> back in 2016, made announcement in new york, got in a plane for up to manchester community college and i introduced and endorsed him and maybe the first elected official
7:19 am
in the country -- neil: what did you see as opposed to other other elected officials? >> it was pretty unique. i looked at it and said, he's a business person, he's out of the box and we need a change, back in '08 i was the cochair for the giuliani campaign and there were a lot of great politicians, but they were politicians, a lot of great people and politicians and making making the same political promises that everyone else had and he was completely different and i said, i'm going to go with this and quite frankly a lot of people thought i was crazy, in fact, a couple of colleagues sent me cards for psychiatrists saying i needed help. neil: one of the things you mentioned was giuliani that in retrospect was not a good strategy, he put a lot of the eggs in post new hampshire basket, florida, certainly new hampshire, that's the tack that
7:20 am
other candidates like even joe biden have been talking about and still a winning strategy but with the exception of bill clinton on the democratic side in '92 lost new hampshire and also lost iowa, it feels like for the republicans it's not a winning strategy, what do you think? >> i think it was a disaster for mayor giuliani, we advised strongly against that and he had the strategy and i will always remember senator mccain ran out of money and there was a picture, he came down the escalator in manchester airport with just his suitcase, no staff, got a hotel room here and did 200-some odd town halls and won in new hampshire and went onto win nationally with virtually no money. neil: amazing, i remember very well and he pressed the flesh everywhere. a lot of people look now at what happened at iowa, at the caucuses, i'm sure you're away, on the republican side, --
7:21 am
democratic side, do you think they should be first in the nation? >> that will be up to parties to decide, i can tell you that in new hampshire we know how to do it, we've done it for 1020 years, we will do it for another 1020 years. the big difference between iowa and new hampshire the fact that new hampshire is run by the state and i was just at a meeting yesterday with the attorney general's office. neil: the democratic party calls the shots, right? >> the democrat and/or republican party decides, but here in new hampshire, the state runs it. >> let me get your take of the backdrop.
7:22 am
>> i think it's unbeatable and economy is roaring both here in new hampshire and nationally and we have a great republican governor who is working hand in hand with our president to make this happened. neil: thank you, we will be talking to that republican governor momentarily, be well, try to be warm. in here it's okay. >> yes. neil: we have a lot more coming up, including what is happening as the candidates crisscross all over the state, it's a quest for delegates as you know, in new hampshire they have 24 of them n iowa they have 41, you need 1,990 to win, that i cannot emphasize that enough, something is sealed or not sealed based on two first states out the gate, do the math, it's early, it's very, very early. more after this.
7:26 am
neil: welcome, everybody, from the granite state, they hope to and are promising a far better process than what happened in iowa with the caucuses, we will see on tuesday, for now the nation and much to have world still focused on coronavirus that is not ending, right now accelerating at anywhere from 10 to 14% extra cases each and every single day, we have already close to 3,000 more cases than we did just yesterday
7:27 am
and we are hovering 34,500 cases as of today. lucas thompson following all of this for us. >> the 60-year-old american died at hospital in wuhan, china, epicenter of the outbreak according to u.s. embassy in 86 new deaths have been reported, as you mentioned, neil, 3400 new cases to have virus, people have died in china out of more than 34,000 cases, on friday president trump praised china's efforts to combat the virus. >> a very good talk with president xi and we talked about mostly about the coronavirus, they are working really hard and i think they are doing a very professional job, we are working together but world health is working with them, cdc is
7:28 am
working with them. >> head of infectious disease says china is actually underreporting the numbers. >> i think there are more infections there than we are seeing being reported, the thing that we would like to do and we have been asking this for some time is to become part of the who team that goes to china thus far we have not been able to do that. >> it's been 4 days since cruise ship in japan quarantined passengers including hundreds of american, dozens on board have become ill, in new jersey royal caribbean cruise ship will be put later to sea today after dozens of passengers have been screened. 4 taken to the hospital, royal caribbean has banned all passengers from china. neil, 99% of coronavirus are in china, the risk here in the united states remains very low with 12 cases. neil. neil: all right, lucas, thank
7:29 am
you very much, a lot of you have been asking about the world caribbean anthem of the seas, on docket in new jersey, delayed new cruise journey until today, we understand it's going to leave port today and that most of the passengers who were booked on that cruise are going to take that cruise. so we will keep you posted on that. also keeping you posted on developments in this latest battle against the virus and what progress is being made, vaccine or something that could treat the symptoms of this virus, some promising developments on that front after this.
7:33 am
neil: all right, back to coronavirus, there's no vaccine for this virus just yet although they are working in a variety of fronts to address the symptoms and also to -- to come up with a vaccine as they did with sars even though that took upwards of a year, it's not to say that things are replicated here, but among the companies getting a lot lot of attention intention is novac, dr. gregory glen. doctor, thank you for taking the time. >> thank you for your interest.
7:34 am
neil: where does the whole scene stand right now, i know it's early in the virus, everyone points to your company on being on the lead on this, can you update me? >> yeah, i think it's important to give a little context to this problem, so our company like many companies, we work on making better vaccines, we have a better flu vaccine, for example, that's in late-stage development and testing, there's a lot of analogues for those respiratory disease and mechanisms, et cetera, what's worrisome here is i think the first case, it was reported in first of december and by the end of december there were 40 cases and by the time we start working on it there were 44 cases and the day after we started working one fatality, look at where we are today with thousands of cases and the expectation i think was, you know, that it's going to have human to human spread, it's a very worrisome situation and as a vaccine company we have to assume the worst, we have to be ready for
7:35 am
the worst case and our particular company has exercised in this setting several times before. i think what we do in our company is we watch for things that crop up so the head of discovery and i had coffee one morning and said, look like there's a cluster of pneumonias in china, so we need to think about whether we can make a vaccine, so that's our piece, we watch what's happening, we try to anticipate this and i think it's very, very worrisome we should do the maximum that we are in fact, doing and i with talk about how the process then works. neil: well, one to have processes that you hope for is warmer weather, can you explain how that helps the chances of mitigating? >> that's -- that's a really good question, so there are -- there are 3 interventions, first of all, this is coming in the time with u.s. scientific price is at its height, biotech firms
7:36 am
and at height in terms of infectious disease, we bring the bear a great number of tools to quickly assess what maybe done in terms of remedy, you need to understand thousand virus works, how it infects, and so i think we know that very well in a very short period of time, the virus was isolated, you know, it's a new virus, it had to be identified and one to have key elements of investigation is look at the keys to have virus, you look at 3d printing the blueprint provides, the blueprint that makes the proteins and the virus, we know how the proteins function, that was a key element of disseminating that information. it was leaked out on google and confirmed later, if i have a
7:37 am
drug or if i have a vaccine, what should i attack with that vaccine, so that process start with, you know, basic information on the field, we never touch a virus, we take the blueprint from the virus, we select the key target, we actually make that target and that's what we are doing right now and then the process is to -- that becomes your vaccine, so this protein has a unique function in that the protein acts like -- and why we have the name coronavirus, it looks like a crown, we can develop an immune response against spike protein we know we can block it, this as you noted earlier,
7:38 am
there's been vaccines for sars and mers at various levels, we know it's possible, so now the question is can we very quick i will go from these ideas to vaccine. i think what -- there's some hope here, normally vaccine development takes 8 to 10 years, this is not the normal scenario, though, so with ebola we just had licensure of vaccine for merging infectious disease for the first time in december and that program took about 4 years, however, before it was licensed the company and the infectious disease experts in the field had developed evidence that it might work, they took the bold step to deploy under compassionate use and it was a very wise decision, so it's not necessary going to take 4 years, you know, we have done this before, gone from 0 to 90 days from the idea to making
7:39 am
a vaccine to begin human testing and we really trying to compress the time frame because it's urgent that we need it. neil: dr., thank you very much, gregory glenn, novavax. we would have been up yesterday in the markets, but this is seen as potential drag on the global economy, i'm -- not only with restricted flights coming in and out of asia but the idea that this could avenge on the ability to do good, we have susan li joining us and charles payne joining us, charles, is this still a worry of yours, that ending we can't predict yet? charles: i will say this, your guest as a vaccine company that they have to assume the worst, as an investor and by the way as
7:40 am
an american and investor i don't assume the worst in part because we have gone through so many things like that, you guys referenced sars, 17% in hong kong, and the world overcame all of that, we had a great week this week in the stock market and, in fact, the best week in about 6 or 7 months depending on what index you measure it by, obviously we are concerns, our prayers go out, we knows they'll be short-term hiccup that impacts america but right now i'm not going sell my shares of united rental, i'm not going to sell my shares of amazon and i think those numbers we showed on the board with dow being down 1% on friday, that's what we are down from the all-time highs. neil: that's a very good point which reads a few trading days ago, susan li, a report on axio, is this week that says more promising and more likely authorities get a handle on this
7:41 am
by april or may at the latest, the delayed economic activity sort of restart and in the fall of this year we notice a bit of a boom lit, we know what's happening in the fall of this year, would that be a preelection boom for the president? >> well, you know, going back to sars and history repeats itself, back then china was a much smaller economy so the impact and the global economy 40 to $50 billion, china was very small, probably 15 times smaller than what it was in 2020, however, this time around we just got a very bearish call from jpmorgan on friday predicting that china's economy might grow 1%, 1% in the first few months of this year, usually china is expected to grow 6% for the second world's largest economy, can you imagine the ripple effects it has around the world and the u.s. economy as
7:42 am
well, back in 2003 with sars, short-term down decline but eventually the markets do make up for the losses. neil: a lot of people sell first and have questions later, the markets follow what was happening on the china trade talk front, do you think it goes the same way? >> well, we have been down 4 of the last 5 fridays, investors right now with the idea is that, you know, more active investors taking chips off the table to make sure there isn't bad news over the weekend and load up again monday morning, we saw that folks anticipated market to get hammered, china's market did get hammered. it went down 8% as we were enjoying the super bowl and there was a lot of anxiety and people were shocked at how strongly we rebounded. we are see where the most active investors are seeing better part of valor to make money monday
7:43 am
through thursday and mitigate on friday and if the coast is clear maybe get back in. on the political side, neil, i think you're absolutely right, axios makes a great president trump, president trump communicated with president xi yesterday, they have been pressing to get over there to offer help and -- and, you know, it could be one of those issues. the only democrat that i've heard mentioned it to be honest with you is joe biden who i think had a knee-jerk reaction saying president trump's xenophobia had something to do -- i think he made a big mistake by bringing that up but it could actually be a win in the president. neil: you mentioned joe biden, by the way, making news that he might not win new hampshire after disappointing's performance, we have the tape, you decide. ♪
7:47 am
traditionally bern by won by 20 last time and usually senators do well. neil: joe biden sort of saying, don't expect me todays -- dazzle and polls indicating he might be right. >> good morning, neil, you kind of nailed the sentiment kicking things off today, the form every vice president joe biden has been sinking in the polls meanwhile mayor pete buttigieg has been rising, take a quick look, this is the latest boston globe poll numbers show pete buttigieg ahead, biden at 11%, lone is 6%, beyond that the candidates fall below 5%, when it comes to money gain, the
7:48 am
biden campaign says they had the single best week since campaign launch, they are not discouraged and have resources to continue in the process which they built marathon not a sprint. biden taking far more swipes slamming sanders and pete buttigieg both on the trail and also when given the chance in last night's debate. >> democratic socialist, i think that's the label that the president is going the lay on, everyone running with bernie if he's a nominee and mayor pete buttigieg is a great guy and a real patriot, he's a mirror of small city who has done some good things but has not demonstrated he has the ability to -- we will till find out to get a broad scope of support across the spectrum including african americans and latinos. >> biden said last night the
7:49 am
first encounters, primaries he's looking at starting point, he's looking ahead of north carolina and nevada, this morning he squeezed an event, feed the children, helped hand out food to needy folks and get out the vote events to begin in a few minutes, caucusing event coming up leading up to debate, biden took time off the trail but has a busy schedule here now on the ground in the granite state. neil. neil: all right, molly, thank you very much, forget about joe biden, what if you're one to have earliest supporters of joe biden, are you as word as the former vice president? we will ask one, an important one, former governor of this incredible state.
7:53 am
neil: first of the nation primaries a few days away, we are waiting for an event in manchester, certainly is this the one that's going to be for joe biden, guys? i believe so. on the left of your screen andrew yang event that is taking place in new hampshire, the candidates are going to be multiple times over the next few days to try to score final points here, they are pouring dollars into the state, we will get to that in a second. the former vice president acknowledges that he will have a poor finish in the state, does it really put the pressure for him to deliver the goods in states like south carolina, nevada, even down to super tuesday where he's really sort of building his priority. guy who has been with him all the way, governor, a democrat. very good to have you, governor.
7:54 am
>> thank you, welcome to new hampshire. neil: let me ask you about that, you've been through this process actually dating back to jimmy carter, we are talking about that, perception becomes a reality, if you are deemed to be losing your fast ball, the gains registered in states like south carolina and nevada -- >> i'm not worried about it, i think he will do well in new hampshire,i don't put a lot of faith in the polls, everybody in 2008 thought barack obama was going to win in new hampshire by double digits. neil: you're right. >> we think he could win by 20 points and hillary obviously won. neil: right. >> by 3 points, i don't put a lot of faith in the polls right now. neil: what is it with new hampshire voters, like he or she almost wants to be the grain here that goes against it, to challenge that consensus, the consensus right now, governor,
7:55 am
is that mayor pete buttigieg is building, he has the force behind from his performance in iowa, that could carry him to victory in the state, if that were the case, is it a new ball game? >> i don't think so. i think the vice president is going to be, do very well in nevada which obviously is the next place to vote and is going to do very well in south carolina, so i think he will regain that momentum, if in fact, he does have momentum coming out of november. neil: all right, if he places less than third, is he in trouble? >> i don't think so. i think a lot depends on the clustering. also i think it's important to note that he's coming up against elected officials from neighboring states, it's always hard to run that way. neil: yeah. >> people think back and they believe that bill clinton won in 1992 when obviously he didn't, it was paul who won coming from massachusetts. neil: coming in second and with all of the investigations into him, he became the comeback kid
7:56 am
and it was legend. right, right. so let me get your sense then about the emergence of bernie sanders, you know, he and mayor pete buttigieg are arguing over who got the better in iowa, but joe biden seems to hint as i heard him that a socialist as a nominee is going to lose, do you agree with that? >> you know what, i'm supporting joe biden for a number of reasons, i trust him completely, i think he will restore honesty and integrity to the oval office, he's going to assemble a good team and you're only as good as your team, whether it's business -- neil: i'm asking about sanders. if he were the winner would he lead the party to defeat? >> you know, i'm going to endorse whoever wins the democratic nomination but i think that joe biden is the most electable. neil: got it. electability matters and i've been travel to go new hampshire as you know and they want to talk about electability and joe
7:57 am
8:00 am
>> all right. welcome to beautiful new hampshire, everybody. this is in bedford, new hampshire and you know, it's such iconic environment. it's such iconic state and after the problems in iowa this past week, everyone from new hampshire has been telling me, even when i haven't asked them, we'll get it right. i don't know if that's the case, but they hope to get it right. it's similar a popular vote issue. they don't caucus and get delegate equivalents or follow, you know, the original sentiment of people gathered in the corner of the room and realigned sentiment. it's up and down popular vote, the winner is chosen based on
8:01 am
that. there's a new poll from the boston globe and southern university that shows no less than pete buttigieg is hotter than hot, in the top spot ahead of the new hampshire primary itself on tuesday. we've got the boston globe politics reporter, james kindle on that. james, good to see you. >> good to see you, nice to be back. neil: thank you for coming. you and i were talking during the break, is this bernie sanders's collapse or buttigieg's surge or what? it's coming at someone's expense. >> it is. what's happening here, you have bernie and his wing and his base that are solid. that's not moving right now. the argument between him and elizabeth warren has been largely settled. bernie won. what has not been settled is who is that sort of moderate democrat, at least in context of this field, who is that option? and where are people obviously supposed to go is this that's where we've been seeing the movement. we have a daily tracking poll, the one you just quoted. at the beginning of the week,
8:02 am
sanders was up slightly because he does well in this state and in second place, tied, like almost decimal point, was biden and buttigieg. and then when we see over the course of the week is that buttigieg has been rising, rising, rising and every single point he gains is every point that biden loses. he's in fourth place. neil: who is in third? >> warren, not because she's rising, but because biden is down due to buttigieg. neil: and what do you think of the vice-president saying i'm going to do lousy here? >> new hampshire loves the comeback story and go through the classic stories, bill clinton in 1992, what bill clinton did or his wife during that 2008 comeback. they'd hit every place, all the dunkin' donutdonuts, they'd shoy
8:03 am
wanted it. and joe biden took off two days off for debate prep. neil: and you don't become president without winning-- bill clinton was the exception and tom harkin, and he came in bill clinton, second to pauls paulson-- paul songus. and biden would be the first to lose the states and-- >> other than barack obama, a split. neil: play that out how at that goes. >> look, the other the scenario, there have been nine presidential primaries in the context of iowa and new hampshire. four times has iowa and new hampshire picked the same person. if they pick the same person,
8:04 am
that person has never been denied the nomination. neil: that's buttigieg. >> we're headed, the latest tracking poll, buttigieg is slightly up over sanders, i don't know if that's going to continue. but if it does, buttigieg would be headed toward the nomination, but with one major asterisk, which is never m american politics have we seen somebody like mike bloomberg waiting to greet them on the other side and that's where-- >> he would qualify for the next debate, right? >> that's right. neil: that's bloomberg so he could be sort of waiting in the back. now, real quickly, there's another sentiment building here that no one has enough delegates getting to the convention to win on the first ballot. do you think that's the case? >> i think it's more likely now than ever before. neil: yeah. >> i mean, look, even if, like i said buttigieg somehow wins the state or sanders does, and he obviously claiming he won iowa, too. neil: right. >> it's very unclear where we're headed and here is one key reason and i'll be quick with it. iowa and new hampshire don't
8:05 am
pick presidents as much as we like to talk about that, they winnow down the field. it's not that you dropped out because you won third or fourth place in iowa or new hampshire, you dropped out because you're broke. and because of the small dollar donations if elizabeth warren is third or fourth she's going to get automatic $4 million in the bank just on auto pay. so the states did not-- >> and it gives you a share of delegates along the way and makes it prohibitive for a single sweet winner. >> this is her argument. she's going to hang out there and she'll have the money and i think that mike bloomberg might ha have-- >> and you've got it, and so young. and busy on the campaign trail, not only is the momentum from
8:06 am
iowa, but people taking a fresh look at him saying he's an alternative to the sanders and the bidens. and following at that closely in keane, new hampshire next. >> neil, mayor pete has a jam packed day here in new hampshire with events across this state on this saturday, the final saturday before the caucus on tuesday. right now, we're at mayor pete's second event of the day here at keane state college. you can see there are hundreds of people in line waiting to hear from mayor pete momentarily and mayor pete has been stressing, he's the candidate that has crossover appeal that can win over independents and even republicans here in new hampshire. the former south bend, indiana mayor also says his campaign has raised $4 million since his strong finish in the iowa caucus debacle this week. now, last night at the democratic debate, mayor pete took a lot of hits on stage, joe biden and amy klobuchar criticized pete buttigieg for
8:07 am
lack of experience, and from black and latino voters. mayor pete says it's fair game in such a competition and here is mayor pete defending himself. >> as to experience, i just bring a different perspective. look, i freely admit if you're looking for the person with the most years of washington establishment experience under their belt, you've got your candidate and of course, it's not me. >> mayor pete has built a lot of momentum coming off that arguable win in iowa and he says he's here in new hampshire, know the to come in second or third place, but he's here to win it. neil. neil: all right, thank you very much, my friend. meanwhile, long time democratic strategist and bill clinton confidante james carville fears his party is going in the wrong direction, so far left that they're going to lose this thing. >> it matters who the candidate is, it matters who the party chooses to talk about.
8:08 am
i'm 75 years old. why many i here doing this? because i'm scared to death, that's why. we've got to decide what we want to be. do we want to be ideological cult or do we want to have a ma juni majoritarian, majority party. neil: if you're going to put a socialist on your party label, you're going to lose. you're driving too far left and you won't have anything. and former advisor and ceo, what did you think about what carville is saying? >> i get what you're saying, if you go too far left or the republican party too far right then you're getting-- it's going to be hard to get the majority. i was saying i was listening to your morning, you had great guests on. i see it differently. neil, you and i have been speaking over a decade on this and this is the first time. there's no one that's getting really a majority of the vote.
8:09 am
there's no true front runner. with obama, he had 40%. clinton, hillary had 50%. we have five candidates within 10% of each other. i mean, having a front runner 25%, that's not normal and i think what we're missing is we're going to have five to eight people come super tuesday. i think actually joe biden is saying it right. this is now for the first time, you have to aggregate the first four primaries as one big primary because diversity is more important than ever as we hit nevada, as we hit south carolina, you know, to not include the hispanic vote as we-- and the union vote in nevada and not include the minority african-american vote in south carolina, and to say, we're going to have a winner before that, i think we're kidding ourselves, which is why we still have five people within 10% and as you and i spoke the other night, that's why iowa was a fiasco for the democratic party. neil: you know, a lot of people are calling for tom perez's head
8:10 am
on that, the national democratic party head. do you think he should go? >> you know, i like tom, so it's a little difficult situation for me personally, but to say that the dnc and the iowa state party, it was not a big letdown is -- we would just be kidding ourselves. the key to iowa to winnow the field and make sure that the donor and grass roots community is actually backing one or two not five to eight. so, we didn't do that and now here we are with the real likelihood of a brokered convention. hard to see anyone north of 25% right now. neil: all right. so let me ask you about mayor pete buttigieg who surged, he's surging in the polls now and as you remind me, it can be fleeting. it gets back to a basic question forget about whether democrats can nominate a gay man to be their party bearer, can the nation?
8:11 am
that's a great question. the answer is, i think yes. obviously he's not doing that well with the minority vote and that's been really the most difficulty. if someone was saying to me, if you don't do well in south carolina, you don't do well in nevada, but you're going to be our standard bearer, that's very difficult, but i will tell you last night when we talked about a commander-in-chief, his response to soleimani was actually really strong. you know what i would say, and we spoke about this, our party likes hope and change, we like young. we actually haven't elected someone over the age of 53 before-- >> joe biden is not that. believe me the older i get the less i like that argument, but i'm telling you, he's disappointing a lot of people. >> but i will tell you why it's different today. today is the first time that i can earlier it's all about electability. it's less important to actually be aligned with someone on one
8:12 am
of the issues than it is to beat donald trump. on electability, it still looks like joe biden is the favorite. he's likely the one that can do well in michigan. neil: you insist on that, but you've known the guy for years and believe me, i'm not here to disparage older people. half this race is dominated by 70 plus. >> i haven't endorsed anyone. neil: no, i understand, but by the way, you were leaning, certainly to him, but having said that, does he disappoint you? has he last his fastball? is he in trouble of just looking like an old man? >> yeah, what i would say is, you know, that the first few debates it wasn't the joe we knew. i think last night he came out fighting. he needed a kick in the now what and i think he got there. maybe the-- listen, if we were just going to literally get someone based on who has the best debate, i would say that barack obama wouldn't have been the president. i mean, mitt romney, you know,
8:13 am
absolutely destroyed him on their first debate. that's not going to win the election. the election is going to be won this time, in my opinion, where can we get the swing states back. where can we go back and win the blue wall. if we don't win the blue wall, donald trump will be president again. neil: all right. we'll watch it very closely, robert wolf, always a pleasure, thank you very much. >> i'll see you tuesday night. neil: excellent. my friend. by the way he's referring to fbn's crucial coverage of this, which if you don't get it, you should demand. the futures and people tell me neil, i need that. and the coronavirus, the world organization is sending a probe team to china probably on monday and tuesday. separately we're getting reports in singapore of seven more cases of the virus, bringing the tally just there to 40. in case you're counting, 25 countries on this planet have
8:14 am
8:16 am
8:17 am
i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa >> mr. chairman, just to put a finer point on that, you said your committee or some combination of committees will subpoena john bolton, is that what you're saying? >> has the speaker signed of off on it. >> excuse me? >> has the speaker signed off on it? >> i don't know, i did talk with chairman nadler on my own, and we'll be doing continuing oversight including having mr. bolton in, i don't know the time frame for that. neil: it's not over until it's over. when it comes to impeachment, president trump might have been acquitted in the united states senate, but democrats say the case is not going away.
8:18 am
house judiciary committee member andy biggs is with us from arizona. good to have you. >> good to be with you. neil: still pushing for john bolton and stuff pushing for mick mulvaney and acting chief of staff. still pushing for something with this president? >> yeah, you've heard nadler say this and adam schiff wants mick mulvaney and pompeo and hearsay evidence is better than direct testimony. he wants to keep this thing going and others have already said they're preparing new articles of impeachment. so, this is going to keep going going. you have one person who can stop it in the house right now and that's nancy pelosi and i think what we saw at the state of the union the other night indicating there's a certain mania going on there so maybe that won't happen and the only other alternative is for the american people to send me some reinforcements and the republicans take back the house and stop the investigation of president trump. that's kind of it, neil. neil: barring that, congressman
8:19 am
from the state of the union now, we're told that the impetus for ripping up the speech was him not shaking her hand. and i don't know what-- and that they have not talked since last october, that's not good. >> that's not a good thing and i don't buy the story that goes on that she was offended that he didn't shake her hand. a lot of that stuff-- >> it doesn't matter, it's hardly a way to respond. you're right about that. >> exactly. neil: are you worried that some of the stuff you would like to see done, certainly before the election, just is not going to get done? >> oh, absolutely. i'm very concerned. i mean, look, i was asked a year ago, i said we should be able to get the transportation infrastructure package done within a few months and here we are over a year later and i just don't know when this stuff gets done because we've seen this movement into this internal and
8:20 am
eternal, i should say investigations. think about it, six committees were assigned to investigate the president for impeachment and they basically locked down everything except for impeachment, us in judiciary, we should be doing intellectual property, dealing with what's going on in china, with intellectual property left, et cetera. we're not there and i'm looking for things that we can get bipartisan. i spoke with some of my liberal democratic friends on a couple of issues and seeing if we can get together. i think maybe we will, but they'll be dwarfed by the continuing investigations that the democrats want to walk down that ride. neil: and the republicans will likely walk down the hunter biden road. and is it your talk in your party on this so that it's mutual self-destruction? >> i don't know it's mew teal self-destruction, we'll see if
8:21 am
investigations ham. they're talking in terms of oversight, what are they seeing. and republicans talking oversight, what are we overseeing? if there's reasonable justification then it should go on and i will just tell you-- >> it will go on. >> it will go on. neil: and gordon sondland, the president fired him and vindman, fired him. and quick retribution post the acquittal. what do you make of that. >> i thought that both vindman should have been fired, lt. colonel alexander vindman clearly went outside of his chain of authority. he's, in my opinion, the leaker to the whistleblower, and when you start leaking classified information, he might have violated a law and committed a felony himself because you have to-- you can't just tell someone else because they have the same classification you do. so i thought it was warranted.
8:22 am
i mean, i won't get into the details on that, but i think there were things that and gordon sondland was an interesting deal, but he served his time. neil: got it. >> and prerogative. neil: the president's prerogative, he can hire and fire who he wants. >> exactly. neil: thank you very much. 22 minutes past the hour. more after this. wow dad, do you think you overdid it maybe? i don't think so... what do you think, peanut? nope! honey, do you think we overdid it? overdid what? see? we don't think so, son. technically, grandparents can't overdo it. it's impossible. well planned, well invested, well protected. voya. be confident to and through retirement.
8:25 am
>> all right. already the world health organization is going to send a team to china scheduled for next week to see how they're doing over there amid reports of the first american has died from the coronavirus. christina coleman has the latest details. >> neil, the u.s. embassy in beijing says the 60-year-old u.s. citizen died from the virus in wuhan on wednesday.
8:26 am
officials did not identify this person. this person is one of the 723 people who have died from this new strain of coronavirus since it was first reported. almost all of the fatalities were and around central china. the world health organization gave us the latest number, 34,598 and 288 cases in 24 other countries. as of yesterday, 72 countries have implemented travel restrictions. cruise passengers in japan are quarantined amid reports of 64 people now diagnosed with the virus. japanese officials also turned another ship away, the holland america's westerdam. they suspected some passengers had been affected and the royal caribbean anthem of the seas is docked in new jersey and 27 it passengers screened and 23 cleared and four are currently evaluated at an area hospital.
8:27 am
meanwhile, u.s. officials are prepared to send up to $100 million worth of aid to china as a port shipment went out this week. and scientists are working around the clock to work on a vaccine, but health officials say that process could take months, neil. neil: thank you very, very much. what are we doing in the usa, and with us now, acting deputy secretary ken cuccinelli on with where we stand. thank you for coming. >> neil, good to be with you. i know that the world health organization team that's headed out to china next week. i also know about this first american death related to cor a coronavir coronavirus, but this increase ins china, 14 to 15 percent more than the prior day. are you worried? >> well, we take a very seriously and this is a cross-u.s. government effort to respond led by c.d.c. because they have the most knowledge in
8:28 am
this area, obviously. so far the only place in the world this is out of control is still the province in the middle of china which for your viewers is south of beijing and, but the math is concerning by which i mean the speed of which of the growth of the reported numbers is a concern to us. it is why the president instructed those of us on his task force, the coronavirus task force to be forward-leaning, to essentially err on the side of safety while being reasonable. that's why we put the travel restrictions in place that we did last week. they have been working effectively. we've screened over 20,000 people coming straight from china and of those, only 10 have required quarantining or secondary care. so, very small percentage and i would point out, neil, the chinese themselves really lock down the province. two weeks ago this thursday and with the outer limit of 14 days
8:29 am
that we're concerned about for the incubation period, we should start seeing those sorts of direct wuhan travelers essentially disappear from the travelling stream. that doesn't mean the virus is contained. we are slowing it down. you can't completely contain something brand new like this that we're still learning about every day, but with the steps we're taking at our airports, our seaports and our land ports of entry, we are prepared and we're executing an effective layered strategy to keep america staff. >> you know, given this incubation period, secretary, of 14 days, is it your sense that maybe royal caribbean jumped ahead of itself when they had a number of cases, i believe chinese nationals exhibiting the symptoms of coronavirus, don't know if they've ever been found to have the virus, it's a big ship, anthem of the seas could hold up to 5,000 people, they
8:30 am
were all allowed off. was that a mistake-- >> you're talking about the one that came into new jersey? >> exactly, exactly. >> yeah, we're keeping track of a few cruise ships these days. >> you're right about that. >> so the captain of the port, who is coast guard authority who is in absolute control of the port and the ships in it, worked with their local c.d.c. counterpart to determine the best medical outcome. i would note that the passengers of greatest concern on that ship tested positive for the flu, for the flu. >> right. >> which gave the c.d.c. a great deal of confidence that they did not have the coronavirus. it isn't that they're exclusive, it's that the symptoms are the same. they look the same to an ordinary person and so they brought those folks off separately. they took them to a local hospital where they will get the coronavirus test, but they had been self-quarantined if you
8:31 am
will, they stayed in their cabin as i understand it so it was deemed medically safe to let everybody else off the ship and so you're seeing different reactions under different circumstances with cruise ships in other parts of the world and we're prepared to handle those on a case by case basis. >> and let me ask you this, people come into customs, you know, at any one of the international airports, whether it's los angeles or jfk, or new york, and they're not exhibiting any of the symptoms, they could still have the virus, it's just not-- >> yes. >> it's still in its incubation period. is there a possibly that that has already happened? >> neil, what we're trying to do with the funneling to the 11 airports that you mention is not achieve a 100% in all circumstances capture of people who may have the virus, it is to get as close to 100% as we reasonably can, and so, so far
8:32 am
we don't know of anybody who has slipped by that and later shown up with the disease. neil: got it. secretary, thank you very much for taking the time. we do appreciate it. >> good to be with you. neil: it's a pretty busy time these days. meanwhile, we are here in new hampshire, that state's governor, chris sununu will join us. what he makes of this next.
8:36 am
. >> ic welcome back, everybody, m neil cavuto. and elizabeth warren could be third in the poll and as people remind me polls can change. she has bragging rights coming out of the state the top three or four, but there's a lot on the line here. kristin fisher out of manchester, new hampshire, what are they planning? >> yeah, neil, a lot on the line here. senator elizabeth warren did not do her best at last night's debate and we know this because warren herself told another network that quote, i didn't say enough, i didn't fight hard enough, didn't tell you how bad i want this. those are her words, but she did have some standout moments including her response to the question why do you think that you're better positioned than bloomberg to beat trump,
8:37 am
president-- >> look, i don't think that anybody ought to be able to buy their way into a nomination or to be president of the united states. [applause] >> i don't think any billionaire ought to be able to do it and i don't think that people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it. >> so warren really needed to turn in a strong debate performance last night because right now she's sitting in a pretty solid third place position according to a new suffolk university poll and remember, new hampshire, this is right next door to her home state of massachusetts. according to this new poll, warren is in third place at 14%. you've got buttigieg on top at 25%, sanders right below him at 24%, still neck and neck for that first and second spot, and then joe biden at 11%, amy klobuchar at 6% and andrew yang at 3%. now, right now we are at manchester community college in
8:38 am
new hampshire on a very cold day outside and we're waiting for senator elizabeth warren speaking here at 1:00. you can already see quite a long line, about 100 people i would say so far waiting to hear her talk and she'll be stepping on stage at 1:00. neil: thank you very, very much. the president for his part is touting the economy and democrats bashing the economy. take a look. >> low income workers have seen a 16% increase since my election. that's in wages. that's a record. this is a blue collar boom. >> we have a president who says the economy is fantastic because the dow jones is looking good. and i'm sure if you've got a building with your name on it close to wall street, then that really is the same thing as the economy to you. >> he's incompetent as a president. we've got to take him down as the economy, he's crowing about it every single day and he's going to beat him unless we can
8:39 am
take him down on the economy, stupid. neil: by the way, tom steyer spent almost 16 million dollars in the greater new hampshire area in ad buys and in the boston area and he's spent a lot of money here. his argument is the economy isn't what it appears to be. that would be news to my next guess, new hampshire republican governor, chris sununu. good to see you. >> thank you very much. neil: so there's really no boom. >> are you kidding? >> to hear democrats tell it. >> look around new hampshire, we're a great product of the president's success when you add in regulatory reforms, the tax cuts, the usmca agreement which is is going to affect a lot of the businesses in new hampshire. we are the number one place on the east coast now for private business, the number one place for economic opportunity, lowest poverty rate, lowest unemployment rate and this is a lot of his success to come to new hampshire and try to claim that the economy isn't working, look around. tom steyer spent $16 million and going nowhere. these guys keep trying to buy into an ad campaign to convince
8:40 am
people of something that they can look out their window and see very differently. in new hampshire it doesn't fly. neil: all right, but the president lost this state four years ago, barely. if you had to handicap it now, governor. how does it look? >> the president will win new hampshire without a doubt. when you add up the money, tens of millions the last six months against him. the folks on the democrat and independent side figuring who they want to vote for. theres' no clear-cut winner here. at the end of the day, people of new hampshire who to buy you as a person, we want to look you in the eye. it's a running joke and very true, are you going to vote for elizabeth warren? how do i know? i've only met her twice. that's the attitude of new hampshire. so we get to the policy after we buy off on you as a person and none of these candidates have really, i think, exacceptcellee tulsi gabbard, she's got grit and moxie and they kicked her off the stage. neil: do you think she'll do better than polls indicated? >> a couple of candidates will
8:41 am
do wetter than the polls indicate. i think a couple of candidates won't do as well. 20 to 30% of the voters will make their mind up between today and tuesday, that's why was bizarre to see biden kind of throw in the towel. neil: that was a little surprising. >> foolish, i don't know who is advising this guy. neil: let me ask you a little about the president now versus where he was four years ago. it's clearly the president's party right now. that's changed a lot since your dad was questioning him as a potential nominee four years ago, but it is what it is. is everyone in lockstep? i mean, how do you-- >> i'm going to challenge you, i don't think it's the president's party per se. at the end of the day, especially in a place like new hampshire where we really cherish local control. like we have 400 state representatives. we really buy off on candidates one-on-one in our individual district. the president is the president, he's done a great job for the country, the economy is strong and creates opportunities for individuals and why he's going to win in november. on a localized state level, we're a very purple state here,
8:42 am
republicans will win back the house and senate here without a doubt, but that isn't necessarily just because of the president it's because of the successes we've been able to combine here. neil: they're loyal to, some say afraid of him. what do you make of the way that he has responded to mitt romney's vote to convict on one article of impeachment? >> well, look, i think a lot of us would agree mitt romney's vote was very disappointing and mitt has to deal with that in utah. neil: do you think it's worth the gulf he's getting for challenging it? >> it's a personal thing i think between the two of nem. neil: do you think differently of mitt romney now? . i'm disappointed, of course, very, very disappointed. neil: you don't accept it at face value that he voted his conscience. >> if someone wants to vote their conscience, it's their prerogative, he made a mistake. the fact not because of his conscience, but he said have looked at the facts, the facts spoke for themselves in that entire impeachment process, again, the republicans are not a party that are defined by one
8:43 am
individual or one moment in time. we're more defined by the-- >> you are one individual and around this president and some people are saying that the fact that deficits are out of control, that the debt spending is out of control. the president could change that, taking the lead on this and maybe next week he will when he releases his budget. do you think that's something that republicans should rally around? because no party seems to get a handle on this. >> republicans rally around economic success because that provides success for the individual for families, for better quality of life. republicans rally around personality responsibility, championing the individual not a big system of government that's going to solve your problem. that's the fundamental difference in this election right now and trump is on one side, the democrats on the other. neil: deficits are important to you and should be important to the party. >> they absolutely are and i think his budget he's showing next week will show a lot of cuts a lot of us have been hoping for and some austerity that needs to help and turning to local. neil: thank you, governor. my best to your dad and your
8:44 am
family. we have more what average folks think about this state so naturally we track them down to diners. they cannot get away from us after this. when you shop with wayfair, you spend less and get way more. so you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one. for small prices, you can build big dreams, spend less, get way more. shop everything home at wayfair.com
8:47 am
>> all right, a couple events we're focusing on. actually a few, as it crisscrossed the state and going on in windham, new hampshire, and pete buttigieg in keene, new hampshire. and bill clinton visited half the states and half the districts in one day and he finished with a second place, and that was enough, he was coined as the comeback kid after losing in iowa and new hampshire, and still won the
8:48 am
party nomination. nobody has done it since. if pete buttigieg would win this state as well as iowa, he could go all the way. it's early in the process. and new hampshire voters not affiliated with the party, but ready to vote in an open primary. and in nashua, speaking with voters. >> usually meals and politics don't mix, but at the temple street diner, we can't escape it. we've seen people coming out all morning long talking about the candidates they support or those they want to know about. you mentioned undecided voters, neil. we have one here, this is roland, thanks for hanging with me, i know you finished your lunch, but you're going to find out who you vote for. what are you looking for in the candidate you are going to choose. >> i'm looking for someone that's going to do health reform, global warming, we have to look into that issue very

>> all right. four years ago, the president barely lost the state by a little more than 2000 votes, but now by trumpeting trade deals and the rest, that could change dramatically, as well as for the economy. will these help, certainly new hampshire voters? a lot of them farmers. a new hampshire farm bureau federation president dennis ward with us right now. dennis, good to have you. >> thank you. neil: i always forget, we always think of iowa in terms of the farmers and the trade deals impact, but dairy is here in new hampshire, as well. what are your thoughts first off on the china deal? >> the china deal was a little rough waiting for it. it didn't hurt new hampshire directly as much because we have more than 4,000 farms in new hampshire and they're small farms so we don't do a lot of i am porting and exporting.
8:55 am
neil: and dairy is big here. >> it was the industry in the state. we've lost a awful lot of dairies, down to maybe 94 farms now. neil: wow. will the trade deal, not the china one, but signed with the mexicans and canadians change for you? >> the usmca deal should help dairy a little, mostly because some of the other states will send more product to canada which will create a little better market for new hampshire dairy products. you know, it should help. we were right next to the canadian border, we do quite a bit of trading back and forth. so it will give us a little better boost, i think. neil: the president argued he wanted to make sure that these trade deals were more equitable. more even. do you think they are? >> i think they are. there's a huge amount of detail in all of these that most of us don't comprehend, but i think they are. it seems like it frees up some of the markets for us.
8:56 am
neil: obviously, the backdrop is politics right now. the president barely lost this state last go round. between the trade deals and the improving economy, do you think it will be different this go round? >> you know, i think the people of new hampshire for the most part feel like they're better off since the president has been in office. they're pretty sick of all of the stuff that's been going on in congress down there and they would just like to see the government doing its job. neil: and you agree with the president, big old distraction got in the way that you want to talk about? >> that is the consensus, i think, in this state. it's been just a big distraction. neil: so if the election were right now, he'd win this state, do you think? >> i think he would. the problem is that in the cities, the lower half of the state, there are an awful lot of democrats, which it's hard to say. neil: it's a tough state to forecast. >> if you get out to vote, they
8:57 am
probably will win. neil: that's crucial. dennis ward, new hampshire farm bureau president, he's the big cheese, that's a dairy pun there, i thought it was fun. all right, we continue or coverage on fox and see you on monday on fbn. refi there's no incomeeamlie verification, no appraisal and no out of pocket costs. and my team can close your loan in as little as 30 days. one call can save you $2000 every year.
