>> christina coleman with the latest there. >> the first american to die from the virus was a woman with underlying health conditions, embassy in beijing says the 60-year-old died this week, officials did not identify this person. as the death toll continues to rise, the chinese government is now allowing a team of international health officials to come into the country to investigate the new strain of coronavirus, the move comes more than a month after the u.s. offered to send official to china to help learn about the nature of the illness. >> the team leader will leaving either monday or tuesday, that's what we are aiming at now and then the rest of experts will also follow after that. >> almost all of the new fatalities were in and around wuhan in central china, u.s. scientists are working hard to develop a vaccine for virus, but health officials say that process could take months, u.s. officials are also prepared to send up to $100 million worth of

west are at low risk, eric. eric: thank you. arthel: soldier is accused of a deadly shooting rampage in thailand. >> what? arthel: killing at least 20 people and injuring more than 2 dozen others, thai police say that the suspect is held up at shopping mall. what more can you tell us? >> both few hours since both the police and the military stormed that shopping mall and after going through all 7 floors gave the all-clear, too early to say that this saga which has been going on for more than 12 hours is over because we have no word that the gunman has been apprehended, now what is crystal clear is how this started, it started on a military base

outside the town of nacon, better known to many as cora, when the soldiers shot his commanding officer, another soldier and 63-year-old woman before jumping into a hump v driving into town making stops along to shoot at people until he got to that mall. at the mall men, women and children ran for their lives literally as the shooter opened fire on them as they were running away posting pictures of him on facebook and other social media while he was at it. police have put up a wanted photo on facebook, his name is jakrapanth thomma and as far as we know he's still at large, facebook for its part has put out a statement saying that it is not a platform for people to broadcast these kinds of things, they have pulled his page, they have expressed their condolences and they have said even people

who want to express support for these kinds of attacks, we have seen that with attacks like this before, that's simply unacceptable. >> all right, ryan, thank you very much for the update. eric. eric: back here at home president trump taking aim at west virginia senator joe manchin who you may have known voted against acquittal in the impeachment trial, this comes as both lieutenant colonel vindman and gordon sondland have been removed from the post, if t two were key witnesses, kevin corke in the white house with more, hi, kevin. >> eric, good to be with you, change is inevitable, certainly the case in washington, in the case of lieutenant colonel vindman assignment was ending soon anyway, ambassador sondland can writing his own ticket going

forward even if it means another government position, it's still stressing especially in case of alexander vindman even upsetting when the president calls you out on twitter suggesting that you were both unsubordinate and incompetent. >> the most powerful man in the world continues campaign of intimidation, too many entrusted with political office continue to remain silent, lieutenant colonel vindman continues with service as dedicated active member of our military, a statement from counsel representing mr. vindman, the president also taking aim at west virginia democrat joe manchin who described popularity in the mountain state. >> i took the president on his word when he said i cannot get a

fair trial in the house but definitely one in the senate, i wanted to make sure he did, i wanted to make sure that he got witnesses what he said he wanted and i thought that would be clarity to it, that never came. >> as you see there, manchin trying to describe his reasoning for his votes to remove the president from office, in case you didn't know he's not up for reelection until 2024 so is he certainly has a bit of time to work things out with the president and at home. >> thank you so much, arthel. arthel: kevin and eric, there's music that tells you we are 3 days away from new hampshire primary as 2020 democrats hope for clearer results in the iowa caucuses, now which saw pete buttigieg and bernie sanders by the way both declared victory, so today most of the democratic candidates speaking at the our rights, our courts forum, it focuses on federal judges and the federal court system, ellison barber is live in new

hampshire, on the site of the forum, she has all the details, hey, ellison. >> hey, arthel, candidates left debate stage and headed to campaign trail, 8 candidates came here for the our rights our courts forum, a whole lot of talk about role they play in regards to reproductive rights, there was talk about lessons to be learned from republicans, here senator bernie sanders. >> federalists aside and extremely well-funded right-wing group who works with young lawyers, nurtures them and takes them along and nominates them and gets them to the supreme court and to the circuit courts and the district court. we have got to do the same thing. >> 3 days till the primary, pete buttigieg seems to be getting more popular in new hampshire in tracking poll that looks at support of new hampshire and

democratic voters, buttigieg has gone up 2 points in 2 days, sanders support is holding steady, today one of senator sanders campaign adviser, down played, he believes buttigieg keeps going up because he overperformed in iowa and suggesting that's not happening with sanders because people expected him to do well in iowa. last night's debate the two got most of the heat from other 2020 hopefuls. >> bernie says that you have to bring people together and we have to have medicare for all but he's unwilling to say what the damn thing is going to cost. >> senator warren, is that a substantial answer from mayor pete buttigieg? >> no. [cheers and applause] >> you have to own up to the facts and it's important to own up to the facts about how race has totally permiated the

justice system. >> sanders won 2016 primaries, massive ground game in new hampshire right now and good chunk of change, campaign said he raised $25 million in january alone. arthel. >> ellison barber, thank you. eric: senators elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar hoping for strong finish to keep their presidential hopes alive, kristin fisher is in manchester where senator warren was with support earlier support, kristin. >> hey, she was rallying earlier today but spent the afternoon actually going door to door in the financial push before the primary and the campaign spent the morning training about 800 volunteers, people that are going to be helping them get out to vote in these final few days before voters head to the polls

on tuesday. but while warren was going door to door this afternoon, she was asked about how she thought that she did during last night's debate and even she said that she thought she could have done better, she said that she thought she hadn't said enough and also seem today blame the moderators for not giving her as much time as everybody else, she sounded optimistic while speaking to supporters very early today. >> there are a lot of folks who are going to talk about what's not winnable or what can't be done and definitely about who can't do it. they are going talk about it right up until we get in that fight, we persist and we win. >> another candidate fighting to breakthrough here is senator amy klobuchar, she had a strong performance during last night's debate, she was effective at highlighting the two front

runners weaknesses, knocked pete buttigieg for essentially making fun of people, son of his rivals who perhaps has more experience than he does and bernie sanders' proposals are simply not realistic. >> my friend bernie whos is you could tell last night, we are friends, we get along, we came in the senate together when i say to him, you know you're actually not thinking big enough, i don't think medicare for all is the solution. >> klobuchar's campaign said that she has raised $2 million since the debate, that is more money than she has fund raised in a single time period in less than 24-hour time period than at any other point in this election cycle, eric. eric: did you see how happy people were when you show up at the house. >> pretty exciting. [laughter] eric: pretty cool. >> i haven't had a chance to see

the video but i'm sure these folks were pretty excited. eric: yeah, continues through weekend, thank you. arthel. arthel:ly take the 5 million-dollar check, please, anyway big story that we are following today coronavirus outbreak, continues to disrupt business in china, the global economy is already feeling the ripple effects so how the growing health crisis could impact the u.s.-china trade truce, we will discuss next.

eric: american has died from the coronavirus in wuhan, china, here in the country 12 coronavirus cases reported across 6 states so far, but now restrictions to help stop those at the border. >> government officials across the united states are putting coronavirus test kits follow hands of state and local officials to help with early detection. center for disease control could take up to 7 days to provide results. >> currently we have to package the tests, get them sent overnight, air, mail to the cdc in atlanta and then several days

for them to run the resting and get the results back. >> an international team from the world health organization is going the china early next week but it will not include americans. a member of president trump's trump coronavirus task force accused china of not being honest. >> i think there are clearly more infections there than are willing reported. the then that we would like to do and asked for some time is become part to have who team that goes to china, thus far we've not been able to do that. >> chartered plane carrying hundreds of americans from china landed at marine corps station at miramar on friday. in a statement the state department said it evacuated 800 americans from china if the outbreak grows, quote, as with the other recent evacuation flights all passengers will be carefully screened and monitored by the u.s. center and disease control and prevention. the department of health and human services. u.s. citizens evacuated from china are currently being

quarantine at 4 u.s. military bases for the next 14 days. the pentagon says other bases could be used if for americans are evacuated. in washington lucas, fox news. eric: we will have more later on in the program about the coronavirus. arthel: the coronavirus, eric, is impacting the world in many ways including travel and trade restrictions and it could potentially impact the u.s. and global economy significantly. excuse me, for more on this we are joined by gary, president of kalpaum capital management. something is in my throat, bear with me. i want to first, gary, get your read on immediate impact and explain why to us and has president xi lost capability on deliverables in the trade deal? >> let me say this, everybody is pulling out all stops to make sure the economic impact is

going to be less than expected, i can tell you china just added $300 billion of liquidity, they lowered tariffs on products coming into china, helped the consumer there and i'm pretty sure the president trump here is cognizant of what's going on and i think they all stand ready to make sure this doesn't have a lot of impact as people are talking right now. leave no doubt, company like wynn's resorts, traffic is down 70%, big effect there, and you can imagine all the other companies both there, here and around the globe that are being affected in the near term. >> yeah, that's the near term, gary, when you gauge the long-term impact on trade deal with china, what do you think ultimately suffers, if you will? >> unless this lasts for a long time and really spreads, you'll be hearing the words one-time

charge from all the companies and from all these areas and we will get past it and remember, demand gets pinned up when it's blocked from, you know, being put into effect, so people that want to buy things right now, companies that want to manufacture and do things right now, once we get past this, they'll come back like a fire storm and things will get going, it's just a matter of how long this takes, you know, china just came out and and i'm not sure and something to be watched in the next couple of weeks, nothing good comes from it. arthel: you have to be careful on what is coming out of china because they were slow to admit how extensive this was in the first place. >> oh, yeah. arthel: no way to predict when the coronavirus outbreak will be controlled and contained, however, give us an idea of how long the u.s. economy can withstand any negative effects before consumers, businesses can

feel the money squeeze, like you said they can jump on it as soon as they can but you've got the 3-month spread in terms of getting goods from china to here. >> right, well, look, china is a 13 trillion-dollar economy, estimates number 2 in the world, so it really does matter and they also just have a lot of pipeline, the supply chain around the globe and if you can't get supplies you can't do business and we are not just talking about the united states, we are talking about europe, we are talking everywhere, again, that's something that must be addressed and i can promise you, there are board rooms of every company right now in discussions on how to handle this in case it does worsen and, again, most important thing is and i think it's going to be like sars, one-time charges get past this unless again the big worry that start with you that uncertainty and nobody can predict at that juncture. arthel: so you think, one time you get past it, the backlog, you get caught up but in plain terms, gary, in which areas could our viewers watching feel

the most direct effect caused by corona outbreak? >> in the united states the ability to get product, apple does a ton of their business as far as making their stuff in china, that's going to matter, short falls will hurt and i believe the market already knows this, i think that's been a great pipeline of communication from american companies already warning wall street on, so, again, i know there's a lot of dire talk out there, i just think if we have get past this, i think, the two words one time and i think everything is going to be okay and keep in mind, 99% of all the numbers are out of mainland china really hasn't spread as much as somebody, some people making you believe and hopefully those numbers end up being correct, okay. arthel: i know you mentioned wall street but i'm talking about the folks who are watching

and not the people running the companies, they want to know if this is going to start affecting my pocketbook? >> i don't -- i really don't think so, i think the economy here is really strong. i think economies around the globe have been reaccelerating over the last 3 months, i think --i really do believe it's going to be blip anything, unless, if this turns turns into a real pac and we start hearing about 300 or 500 and a thousand cases in other countries, all bets are off and you really have to start worrying. arthel: well, gary kalpaum thank you for keeping up with my itch of my throat, came out of nowhere, it just happens sometimes. >> tea and honey. arthel: and cayenne pepper. thanks, gary. eric: new hampshire democratic debate, did you see that? the campaign trail disputes spilled over into the stage, man, oh man, what they said about each other and the gloves are off, we will take a look and analyze the results, what could

happen this tuesday in the new hampshire primary as america's news headquarters rolls on for this saturday afternoon

arthel: we continue to follow breaking news out of afghanistan where fox news has confirmed reports of multiple american casualties after american and afghan forces were attacked in the eastern part of the country today. the taliban and the affiliate of isis both operate in that part of the country, we have no direct confirmation on those two pieces of information, the number of casualties in the -- d the extent of the injuries has not been released, one u.s. military official say it is soldiers were engaged by direct firing, the attack comes as the trump administration tries to finalize a peace deal with taliban to end america's 18-year war there, we will stay on top of the story and bring you details as soon as we get them.

>> i don't think there's any question, george, that after this week there's a real threat that donald trump can get reelected. and i don't think there's any question that the way to beat him which is what bernie sanders said get turnout across the spectrum of democratic voters and that means that we will have to appeal across the spectrum, moderates, progressives and every group. eric: tom steyer expressing concern and stakes are high for primary there on tuesday, according to real clear politics average polls in that state, senator bernie sanders is on top followed by pete buttigieg with senator elizabeth warren tied with joe biden, so what can we expect, susan, senior white

house and political correspondent for real clear politics joins us now, susan, mr. steyer was talking about democratic enthusiasm and seems like there was more in previous years when president obama was on the ballot, they say it wasn't as high as they expected it to be in iowa, how can this impact the coming race? >> well, last night you saw for the first time these democratic candidates really take the gloves off and they were sparring and they were trying to gain enthusiasm, but they really didn't respond i thought to what james carvel, democrats need to get real, get act together after iowa disarray and appeal to voters in the middle of the country where the real battlegrounds like wisconsin and minnesota and even in

pennsylvania and in the rust belt are going to be, they do not need to be appealing with big government programs like medicare for all and things like, you know, basically abolishing ice and the green new deal that appeal to more of the coastal states and i'm not sure that they really accomplished it last night. it was more like a pile-up on pete buttigieg because he's soaring right now and he's in a real contest for new hampshire where bernie sanders is sort of the native son in new hampshire and he has the edge there, i think, but buttigieg is rising. it was a pile-on over his experience versus of the washington post, many on the stage, bernie sanders, amy klobuchar, obviously joe biden saying that, you know, washington experience really matters and amy klobuchar, for instance, had a very good line where she said, you know, you were joking and it wasn't that funny earlier this week that the

impeachment hearings were boring you and you would rather watch cartoons and switch the channel and that seem today get good applause and laugh lines right there. eric: he was saying some of these ideas that are being pushed by warren and sanders are stupid and also says, scared to death for the democratic party. one could argue that bill clinton, as those two lanes collide, what do you think will happen on tuesday? >> well, i think you're in new hampshire so you're in the northeast, so you -- that's not a very good test for the carvill miami, they get to south carolina and they move up to nevada, that might resinate a little bit more, i think buttigieg is in a battle with

vice president with amy klobuchar, i think the two it will come back down to when you get to south carolina, numbers in single digits again and nevada, nevada is next and then south carolina at the end of this month, he's really just in the single digits, i don't see him rising unless he gets a huge bump out of next -- on tuesday in new hampshire. eric: he may not be getting biden's ticket after what he said last night, let me give you a clip of pete buttigieg throwing the exit to uncle joe. >> the biggest risk we could take at a time like this would be to go up fundamentally new challenge to fall back on the similar or trying to unit this country at a moment when we need that kind of nomination if you don't vote all the way to the edge, it doesn't count. politics say it's my way or the highway. >> are you talking about senator

sanders? >> yes. eric: he's talking about sanders at that point. it's going to come up between those two. >> that's right. this morning there was a smearing ad of biden against buttigieg comparing inexperience, when he was mayor he helped beautify sidewalks and put color lights under bridges while i was negotiating the iran deal and promoting and leading the charge for obamacare that helped 20 million people get on health care. i've never seen such an attack ad that was so sort smearing and biden is risking angering, looking like the angry old man here and he needs to worry about that but when it comes to south carolina, he's up -- he's up in double digit territory above sanders and then buttigieg is not even in the running out there, so i think, you know, biden is going to try to regain footing after new hampshire, i

will -- he conceded right at the beginning, it was kind of the obvious, he got hit in iowa and he's expecting to get hit again in new hampshire and it really is a sanders-buttigieg contest right now but then when we turn back to nevada and south carolina, you might see biden really regain some footing as bit, he did have a decent performance last night, i felt like he got a shot in the arm, not the shot in the arm that his campaign wanted but something that stabilizes his campaign. eric: he's at 27%, 6 points ahead of sand years nationally and 20 points ahead of pete, looks like it's a fractured party going to super tuesday when michael bloomberg -- >> absolutely. arthel: thanks, susan, all eyes are on new hampshire ahead of primary, residents in granite state have their eyes on student loans, yeah, because new

hampshire has the highest percentage of college students with debt, how will this impact the 2020 race? hillary vaughn has that story. >> the first in the nation primary state of new hampshire is first in the nation for the highest percentage of college students with debt. >> i moved back home with my parents to be able to make payments and be able to pay it off more quickly. >> 76% class of 2020 graduated with student loans, the highest in the nation. >> i took not my dream job right out of school because i knew that it would pay the bills and that they were coming. >> new hampshire students on average have $36,000 in debt and some 2020 democrats are making a campaign promise to make that debt disappear. >> we can cancel student loan debt for 43 million americans. >> some educators say those

policies aren't project practical. >> someone else will have to end up paying for that. >> part of the problem isn't just the price tag, some students take major in college that isn't worth the cost? >> we cannot allow them to borrow but we can educate them on what borrowing means and what borrowing lightly means. >> student loan detonation wide hit all-time high topping $1.6 trillion last september and has more than doubled in the last decade. some people think the problem is so big a president needs to fix it. >> actually going to help the economy an incredible amount, to be able to have people that obtain money every month to company. >> but others think that getting involved is a part of the

problem. >> making it free that means somebody else is paying for it. >> hillary vaughn, fox news. eric: nato countries considering pulling forces out of afghanistan, this is as west looks to decrease military presence, but could that open the door for for more interference from iran, general jack keane on that next. imagine traveling hassle-free with your golf clubs.

from the war-torn country after the trump administration indicated its own plans to reduce the u.s. military presence there. general jack keane is a retired four-star general, chairman at the institute for study of war and fox news senior strategic analyst, general, keen, -- general keane good to have you on very important afternoon. engaged in direct firing, what does that tell you about the state of things on the ground and should this cause concern for the safety of our troops there? >> well, the direct fire asking simply close combat ausing assault rifles and the enemy uses rocket propelled grenades and that's the nature of what this combat is, our forces are there to enable the 300,000 afghan forces do the large amount of the fighting, we have a small counterterrorism unit that's involved and we don't

know the nature of the circumstances surrounding this but one thing we know, one problem has been contested province, taliban operated there as well as isis, we don't know with which group. peace negotiations were broken off, the taliban issued instructions to their tactical commanders inside of afghanistan to up operations against the united states forces and tried to leverage as many casualties against u.s. forces who are assisting the afghans in the local fight and it gives you a sense of what their intent is in terms of their commitment to peace when they are trying to increase the level of violence against our forces, what they want us to do is obviously just give up and walk out of afghanistan and that would be victory for them.

arthel: pardon me, i don't think president trump will just walk away and allow them to have that sort of victory meanwhile as you know president trump's administration is trying to finalize a peace deal with the taliban so should the peace deal be put on hold, i mean, what should the trump administration and the u.s. military do next is the most immediate step to resolve this? >> well, no one will interfere with peace negotiations. the united states is associating with the taliban leadership and no one is talking to the afghan leadership which runs the country. after all, what the taliban's motivation is to do is to overthrow the government in the country and that's -- that's who they should be negotiating to so what will come out of this will at best would be some kind of interim step if there's some negotiated settlement which doesn't stop the war because they have to talk to the afghan government. arthel: so is that happening because that was one of the questions lingering, is there too much talking with the taliban and not enough inclusion

with the afghan government? >> well, i'm always -- i've always believed that to be the case, what our negotiating team is trying to do is fashion a settlement with the taliban, one of the principal conditions will be for them to start negotiations with the afghan government, but we know for a fact that the taliban only want aeventually to overthrow the government, they've never given up their desire for that, they are not looking about sharing power, 85% of the people, arthel, reject the taliban, they've been rejecting them for 18 years and continuous surveys, this is the most unpopular insurgency that i've been aware of in history, they're not interested in political settle ment, what they want to do is overthrow the government. general miller who runs our forces an nato forces in afghanistan for more than a year

has been analyzing and came up with a recommendation to reduce our forces to around 8600 from what was 1400 -- 14,000 when he began is now 12,000 and -- but we didn't declare that because negotiations were ongoing and we want -- we didn't want to give up something for nothing in return. arthel: so where are we now, though? >> i think the administration is pretty close to reducing those forces, listen, what miller is saying to us, i don't need those forces, i want to get them out of here and the administration likely not seeing a deal being made will probably just go ahead and unilaterally withdraw them or reduction in kind from nato, when we increase forces, nato increase forces. when we reduce, nato will reduce a portion of what we are doing as well. arthel: that doesn't alarm you that nato -- >> none, not at all. arthel: always appreciate your analysis. >> good talking to you, arthel.

this incident. officials releasing very little information so far, only saying there are multiple american casualties, exactly how many, they have not said. what we do know is that it took place in afghanistan's eastern province. according to the new york times, the u.s. military special forces were helping afghan military personnel clear an area threatened by the taliban. both were fired upon. a u.s. military spokesman said in a statement that both afghan and u.s. personnel were, quote, engaged in direct firing and they are assessing the situation. the taliban and the islamic state operate in the province which borders with pakistan. it has been an islamic state stronghold while some villages are controlled by the taliban. >> it gives you a sense of what their intent is in terms of their commitment to peace when they're trying to increase the level of violence against our forces. what they want us to do is obviously just give up and walk

out of afghanistan and that would be a victory for them. >> reporter: the incident comes as washington seeks to find an end to the war in afghanistan. just last thanksgiving, president trump made a surprise visit to afghanistan to announce resumed negotiations. the trump administration is weighing a decision to remove up to 4,000 troops from afghanistan, the region is a hot bed of terror and trump at this week's state of the union aa dress issued a stern warning. >> our message to the terrorists is clear, you will never escape american justice. if you attack our citizens, you for fit your life. [ applause ] >> reporter: there are now 12,000 u.s. troops deployed in afghanistan. the u.s. has been involved in a protracted war there for 18 years. arthel. arthel: lauren, thank you for that update. eric: a deadly shooting rampage killed at least 20 people in

thailand, injuring dozens more. police accuse the soldier of killing his command officer, then opening fire at a buddhist temple of before he escaped inside a shopping mall. brian is following this developing story from our london bureau. brian. >> reporter: yeah, it's been a good five hours now since the police and the army stormed that shopping mall then went through all seven floors of it and gave the all-secure and, yet, it is seemingly too early to say this is over because just a couple hours ago there was a short round of gunfire and we haven't heard an update from the police, we don't know the fate of the shooter. what is chris l tal crystal clew this began. it began at a military base on the outskirts of the city of nakhon ratchasima, better known to many as korat. when the soldier opened fire on others from his battalion, killing the commanding officer. he jumped into a humvee, drove

into town and made stops along the way to shoot at people. you mentioned the temple before he completed his journey at the mall. that's where the worst of the mayhem appears to have ensued. men, women, children, running for their lives, literally, as the shooter opened fire on them, posting pictures of himself on facebook and other social media, while he was at it, both inside and outside of that mall. facebook has taken down the shooter's page and issued a statement saying it will not tolerate people broadcasting these kinds of acts of violence on their platform. and the thai police have i.d.'d the shooter, his name is jakrapanth thomma. he's 32 years old and as far as we know he is still at large. this manhunt now in its 13th hour, continues. arthel: thanks so much. the coronavirus outbreak claiming its first american

life, a u.s. citizen who died in wuhan, where the outbreak began in december. the death toll now topping 700, most fatalities in china. there are more than 34,000 cases globally, but the world health organization warns that number could grow and quickly. >> but, again, even the global spread i said it many times, it's slow now but it may accelerate. so while it is still slow, there is a window of opportunity that we should use to the maximum, in order to have a better outcome. arthel: let's get more details from christina coleman, she is live in los angeles. christina. >> reporter: arthel, the first american to die from the virus was reportedly a woman with underlying health conditions. the u.s. embassy in beijing says the 60-year-old u.s. citizen died in wuhan this week. officials did not identify this person and today the world

health organization released new numbers. there's been 34,598 confirmed cases in china and 288 cases in at least 24 other countries. 723 people have died from this new strine of coronavirus -- strain of coronavirus since it was first reported on december 31. almost all of the new fatalities were in and around wuhan in l central china. the chinese government is allowing a team of international health officials to come into the country to investigate this new strain of coronavirus. the move comes more than a month after the u.s. offered to send officials to china to help learn more about the nature of this illness. health experts are monitoring this deadly evolving situation very closely. >> we're in sort of a four day stable period where the disease or the number of reported cases hasn't advanced. and that's good news. it's he very, very, very early to make any predictions about

numbers in this outbreak. this is still a very intense disease outbreak in wuhan and hobay. >> reporter: cruise passengers in japan are bein quarantined ad reports of 64 people being diagnosed with the virus. japanese officials also turned a ship away, the prime minister expected some passengers on the vessel had been infected. the royal caribbean's anthems of the seas is docked in new jersey, 27 passengers were screened, 23 of them cleared and four are currently being evaluated at an area hospital. u.s. scientists are working to develop a vaccine for the vies russ. health officials say that process could take months. the u.s. is prepared to send up to $100 million worth of aid to china to help fight the virus. a support shipment went out. the cdc communities are at low risk for the illness.

eric: china is under fire for initially suppressing information on the coronavirus, that point underscored by the death of dr. lee, who sounded the early alarm about the virus in december only to be threatened by the police, who forced him to sign a statement recanting his warning. with at least a dozen cases in our country, how should the president deal with china on this. john hannah join us now, a senior counselor at the foundation for defense of democracy. john, the president said he had a great call with president xi who reportedly told him that beijing will get a handle on this but right now that seems to be a bit of an uphill battle. >> yeah, i a agree, eric. i thought the president probably hit the wrong note. now's not the time for us to be publicly praising president xi for doing a great job when in fact we've actually now got hundreds of millions of chinese on social media telling the rest of the world how badly the

chinese communist party has in fact botched the response here in a way that greatly exacerbated the threat this virus now poses to the chinese people, first and foremost, but now increasingly to the rest of the world as well. eric: do you think if the communist government, if they had not targeted dr. lee at the end of december, if they had listened and swung into action, and tried not to sweep this under the rug, apparently, that they could have stopped the spread. >> i guess we'll never know for sure, eric. you've got to believe, we lost several weeks of critical l time here when dr. lee was trying to alert people to the dangers of this potential new virus and instead of being listened to and thanked by his government, as you said, he was actually arrested. he was detained. he was forced to recant his story. now, what we've had is an explosion of that virus over the

last several weeks in central china dr. lee himself of course is dead, tragically, from the virus and now china faces hundreds of millions of its own citizens attacking the government for its response and specifically for its suppression of freedom of speech and it's on a scale that i think china experts say we haven't really seen since he tiananmen square 30 years ago. eric: if it spreads, it could affect the whole globe. they write in the new york post, china's he leaders know they have an national emergency on their hands but for political reasons they're trying to control the narrative by down playing the seriousness of the epidemic. they punish those who report about this unfolding disaster, even though honest and accurate reporting would save lives. he goes on to point out there are not enough virus kits in hospitals, maybe they're down playing the numbers to down play the numbers of coronavirus folks

and punishing people who are lying, police can punish you and pull you off if you're online. one et noted active -- one noted activist they say is missing. he's been posting videos on youtube and twitter. missing because he's been apparently telling the truth. >> this crisis is laying bare in the most brazen way, eric, for the chinese people just to the extent to which the chinese communist party is willing to go to sacrifice the well-being of its own citizens to preserve and protect its own power and interest, chinese people are absolutely furious at this situation and what was and still is a very serious public health crisis has quickly and rapidly been transitioning into a major political threat to the chinese communist party, generally, and president xi himself specifically because let's face it, over the last several years, this is now a country largely of

one man rule, president xi, has such an ironclad grip over that regime that he can't avoid, though he's trying very hard to avoid blame, he can't avoid being held responsible for the poor response that the chinese authorities have had here. eric: and that has affected us and billions of people around the globe. >> absolutely. eric: john hannah, always good to see you. >> thank you, eric. arthel: back in washington, president trump defending his decision to remove two officials who were key witnesses in the house impeachment probe. lieutenant colonel alexander vinman, a member of the national security council and gordon sondland, fired days after president trump's acquittal in the senate. kevin cork is live at the white house, tracking this story for us. >> reporter: arthel, nice to be with you. colonel vindman is out of the white house envelope woul.

they would argue he's been simply reassigned. same thing for ambassador sondland. his assignment can end at any point. he can certainly find a job. but here's where things get more complicated, when your boss effectively in the case of colonel vined man, the president of the united states suggests on twitter that you're incompetented and for lack of a better description, insubordinate. let me share part of a statement issued late this afternoon, defending their client who they point out is an active member of the united states military, speaking of alexander vindman. that statement reading in part, thusly, while the most powerful man in the world continues his campaign of intimidation, while too many entrusted with political office continue to remain silent, lieutenant colonel vindman continues to serve our country as a member of our military. the president's tweets about vindman made it clear he thought

he should be removed from his current post. ditto for ambassador sondland, we knew he was on his way to another job in the government. on cap l toll hill, there are -- capitol hill, there are members who are defending the president's right surround himself with the staff of his choosing despite the political overtones of some of the changes. >> look, i disagree with so many of trump's decisions, especially as relates to foreign policy. i've been very outspoken in that 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 likes serving in his cabinet. >> reporter: tulsi gabbard of hawaii. joe manchin, the democratic senator from west virginia, is under fire back home for his decision to vote to remove the president from office. he isn't up for re-election until 2024. he said he voted the way he did because of the facts. the president in a tweet today

criticized manchin saying he was little more than a puppet for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. bad blood in washington right now. r. artheleric.arthel: i'll take i. don't overlook me. >> reporter: you've got 504. arthel: thank you. >> reporter: thank you. eric: amid the iowa caucus chaos, pete buttigieg and senator bernie sanders are surgeing to the head of the democratic pack. can they keep that momentum going in new hampshire. we'll have live reports from the granite state next on the campaign trail as we get ready for the new hampshire primaries this tuesday.

arthel: all eyes on new hampshire where democrats are campaigning hard ahead of tuesday's first in the nation primary, senator bernie sanders and former mayor pete buttigieg emerging on top from the iowa caucus chaos. a new poll is predicting they will do well in ne new hampshire also as former vice president joe biden says he will, quote, probably take a hit in the granite state but vows to keep fighting. >> i lost a lot in my lifetime, like many of you have. car accident took away my wife and daughter, lost my son, like

many of you have don. but i'll be damned if i'm going to stand by and lose my country too, period. arthel: let's go to peter doocy, he is in manchester, new hampshire with the latest. hi, peter. >> reporter: arthel, one of the nastiest attack ads of the entire cycle just dropped online. it features joe biden promoting his record and putting down mayor pete. >>ident obama called on him, joe biden helped lead the passage of the automatic afe act. pete buttigieg installed decorative lights under bridges, giving citizens colorfully illuminated rivers. >> reporter: didn't take long for the you buttigie buttigieg o stick off for the mayor -- stick up for the mayor. the decision to run the ad

speaks to more to where he stands in the race than it does about pete's perspective as a mayor and a veteran and the back and forth comes of after last night joe biden delivered a kind of gloomy forecast for his prospects on tuesday. >> did you feel like joe biden kind of consisten -- conceded nw hampshire tonight. one of the first things he said, i lost in iowa to you and to senator sanders, and i'm not going to win here either. >> i was surprised by that. i'm not going to give him advice on how to talk about things. >> reporter: it's an unusual final saturday, since there's no winner of the first in the nation caucus. bernie sanders is campaigning like it was him and he's got a chance on tuesday to go two for two. >> i don' i don't know about r people but in northern new england, when you win the vote,

you usually win the election. >> reporter: and the southern new hampshire university arena is filling up right now, most of the top tier is going to be here to get final shots in on stage or maybe even back stage. arthel: and you'll be covering it for us, peter doocy, thank you. eric: with three days to go before the new hampshire primary, pete buttigieg surging to the stop of a new poll. former vice president joe biden is in fourth place in that state. he's behind senators bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. so what are they doing to get out the vote? matt fin live in lebanon, new hampshire with all that. hi, matt. >> reporter: hi, eric. we've been following mayor pete around new hampshire. he has a jam packed schedule this week, hosting five events today, many more scheduled for tomorrow, crisscrossing new hampshire in the final push before the caucus on tuesday and joe biden is coming out swinging against mayor pete. in addition to the attack ads

that peter doocy was talking about, biden is also attacking mayor pete on the trail. a short while ago biden said mayor pete is no barack obama. >> i do not believe we're a party at risk if they no nominae me and i do believe we're a party at risk if they nominate someone who has never held a higher office than mayor of south bend, indiana. >> reporter: this afternoon and evening, mayor pete is indirectly responding to biden's attacks saying washington can learn a thing or too from smaller towns like south bend. >> i know some folks are out there saying what business does a mayor of south bend have running for the presidency. we would be well served if we could start to get washington to work a little like our best run cities and towns, rather than the other way around. >> reporter: pete buttigieg is surging according to a major poll here in new hampshire. he's in a statistical tie with

the heavily favored bernie sanders according to a poll that was just released yesterday. pete buttigieg's campaign says it has raised $4 million since the iowa voting debacle earlier this week and speaking of that mess in iowa, mayor pete's campaign says they have submitted what they consider inconsistencies from the iowa caucuses to the state's democratic party. eric, arthel. eric: terrific, thanks. arthel. arthel:.>> look, i don't thinke ought to be able to buy their way into a nomination or to be president of the united states. i just simply think people don't look at the guy in the white house and say can we get someone richer. i don't think they think that. >> millions of people who can desire to run for office, but i guess if you're worth $60 billion and you can spend several hundred million dollars on commercials, you have a slight advantage.

that is nonsense. arthel: that's some of the 2020 candidates slamming michael bloomberg last night. the billionaire is running a campaign unlike any other, skipping early primaries to focus on winning super tuesday states. and spending eye-popping amounts of ad money. in the fourth quarter last year, he spent more than both president trump and all of the democrats in the race combined and it seems to be working. the real clear politics national average has the former new york city mayor in fourth place ahead of pete buttigieg but some democrats question whether the party's base can rally around a self-funded candidate who is literally running like money is no object. joining me now is tim o'brien, a senior advisor to the bloomberg 2020 campaign. mr. o'brien, thanks for joining us. >> hi, arthel. arthel: well, you heard the attacks. what's your defense? >> i don't think it's about a defense. the reality is, it's a distraction what they're saying. mike bloomberg has more

governing experience than anyone else in the democratic field. he's someone who stands on a stack of accomplishments as a philanthropist, self made businessman and someone who governed one of the most complex cities in the world successfully. voters are responding to mike because they know what his track record is. he's been solving core problems that american voters care about for decades, whether it's access to high quality public health, whether it's access to high quality public education, whether it's the climate crisis, or gun violence. money will buy you exposure. money does not buy you an election. if you could buy an election, some of the other candidates who spent heavily wouldn't be at 1 or 2%. mike bloomberg is polling by a lot of national polls at this point in third place, because voters can see transparently what his record is. unlike all of our competitors, most of whom have been legislators their whole life, mike has actually governed and made the hard choices about

solving problems that voters need to see. i think the issue of his money -- money would be an issue in and of itself if mike bloomberg didn't have his record but it's a distraction otherwise. arthel: again, the bloomberg campaign spent $188.4 million in fourth quarter alone, the didn't ems and trump campaign spent 165 million combines. why is that spending necessary? >> it's necessary because mike bloomberg recognizes there's a five alarm fire in the white house. he is a public servant with a public conscience and he sees this campaign as the culmination of his life's work. as we said multiple times, the machine that we're building, we're now in over 40 states and territories. we have over 2100 people involved in the p campaign. we will put all of this into the service of the party or whoever the nominee is ultimately. this isn't a van p p at this run -- vanity run, this is a very purposeful, highly capable

public servant taking this battle to donald trump's doorstep out of the gate. arthel: you speak of doorsteps, mr. bloomberg will have spent over $300 million by the time this is over. he's already looking past the early four states, he got lucky in iowa with what happened there. he has his sights on -- >> not lucky. it's strategy. arthel: let me finish, please. he got lucky because iowa caucus caucuses became a debacle. i want to say he's he's going to go straight to super tuesday which means he won't press the flesh with americans you along the way. >> that's not true. mike's already been in 24 states. he's been in over 30 -- 3 citie. we are canvassing on people's doorsteps. we are running the biggest ground operation in the united states right now. the reason he's climbing in the polls is because people see him on the ground and they know what his record is. arthel: okay. one question. is mr. bloomberg serious about

being president himself or is his goal to get any democrat, democratic candidate elected? >> there is no one running right now who would be a more effective, conscientious and eethic a ally clean record. he is rising in the polls. i think it's our belief that any democrat is a better alternative to donald trump and we will support whoever the nominee is. arthel: the african american community, a strong voter pool in the 2020 election. how is mr. bloomberg courting that community? >> mike recently in tulsa, laid out the greenwood initiative, the most substantial and conscientious piece of public policy envisioned for the african american community broadly speaking. for low income, i think residents of multiple locations in the united states, not the

african american community exclusively but with the greenwood initiative, it's a statement about a way to get the engines and the finances of the federal government along with opportunity and hope from private enterprise working together to bring opportunity and real change into the lives of african americans and i don't think any candidate has proposed anything as substantial as the greenwood initiative. $70 billion into 100 preselected communities over 10 years, doubling the number of black owned small businesses to 100,000. arthel: is that coming from government coffes. >> government, public, private partnerships. he understands the value of private enterprise. he's one of the most successful business people in the united states. he knows the public and a private sector working together, consciously for every american, regardless of class, creed and color is how opportunity is created. that's what the greenwood initiative is all about. arthel: mr. tim o'brien, i have

to run. thank you for your time, sir, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. arthel: all right. and we'll be right back. at carvana, no matter what car you buy from us,

washington. >> reporter: government officials across the united states are putting coronavirus test kits in the hands of state and local health officials to help with early detection. but doctors say the centers for disease control could take up to seven days to provide results. >> currently, we have to package the tests, get them sent overnight air, mail, to the cdc in atlanta and then several days for them to run the testing and get the results back. >> reporter: an international team from the world health organization is going to china next week. you it will not include americans. a member president trump's coronavirus task force accused china of not being honest. >> i think there are clearly more infections there than we are seeing being reported. the thing we would really like to do and we've been asking this for some time, is become part of the who team that goes to china. thus far, we've not been able to do that.

>> reporter: friday, president trump praised china's efforts to combat the virus. >> i had a very good talk with president xi and we talked about -- mostly about the coronavirus. they're working really hard and i think they're doing a very professional job. we're working together but world health is working with them, cdc is working with them. >> reporter: a r charter plane carrying hundreds of americans from china landed in san diego on friday. it was one of two flights to land in the united states from china. in a statement, the state department says it evacuated over 800 americans from china as the outbreak grows. quote, as with the other recent evacuation flights, all passengers will be screened and a monitored by the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention and the department of health and human services. u.s. citizens evacuated from china are quarantined at four u.s. military bases for the next 14 days. the pentagon says other bases could be used if more americans are evacuated. in was washington, lucas tomlin,

fox news. eric: a legal battle is brewing between ancestry.com and law enforcement as police use new methods to solve crimes, tracking subjects through the use of family dna. in the corporate transparency report, ancestry.com said police made nine requests for user information last year, eight related to criminal investigations regarding credit card misuse, fraud and identity theft. they also looked to gain access to the data base with dna profiles. the company did not comply and said they provided no customer data. should they do that or not? a former assistant attorney general with the new york state all's office and former investigative counsel on the house oversight committee, and security law expert and attorney, stacy, let me start with you. do you think getting dna report from ancestry.com is an appropriate law enforcement tool

or is it an invasion of privacy? >> it's tremendous invasion of privacy. when people sign up for these sightsites,they expect their das maintained as private. dna swabs are akin to medical records and there are tremendous federal and state protection on our medical records. to think that as a private citizen, putting your dna with a private company that you can be subject to a random law enforcement warrant for your genetic material is highly invasive and inappropriate and if the courts rule appropriately, as this issue moves forward, they should not be ruling in favor of having law enforcement have access to private information on citizens who are innocent of any kind of wrong doing, law enforcement should explore their own leads and use their own dna databases to do the work that they need to do. eric: chris? >> well, it is definitely

permissible. i agree that it's an invasion of privacy but so is every search warrant. it is certainly permissible under the fourth amendment to the constitution, provided that there's a dually issued warrant by a judge. it's explicit in the constitution. ancestry.com, google, microsoft, nobody can blanket disregard a search warrant. as long as a judge signs it, as long as there's a reasonable basis under the totality of the circumstances, it is reasonable for ancestry.com and required for them to respond to -- to comply with the search warrant, request from law enforcement, provided it's sufficient in the search warrant and signed by a judge. eric: in april, i think another company, the suspect of the golden state killer was nabbed going through this site and linking things up, they said. why is this any different? it could be like fingertips or is that a total apples to

oranges. >> it's an apple and a banana. here, the issue of probable cause, there has to be a particular showing that the information being sought by law enforcement is going to yield the fruit of what they're looking for. and to take a database like a company of ancestry dna which has 16 million people's dna samples in the database and to say to law enforcement, there's a random problemmability that you might -- problemmability pru might find a link is sort of reaching in the dark. even though a judge might sign off on a warrant, it doesn't mean that the warrant is a valid warrant under the fourth amendment, search and seizure rules. and particularly in the area of big data. the courts have not kept up with the technology and a lot of these warrants which are being issued may have been signed off on by a judge but will eventually, i believe, find to be unconstitutional. eric: what should they do?

if you're an ancestry member and you're sitting home watching this right now, what's going through your mind and what do you think the company should do, stacy? >> well, the company has not asked its members to sign off their privacy rights to law enforcement agencies. and if the companies chooses to be compliant with law enforcement, then they hud get the consent of the users ahead of time which is what every other company does which is what a hospital does with your medical records. they won't release your medical records just because law enforcement its looking for it. there has to be a hipaa signoff. the companies may need to change their user conditions and ask permission. but if the users say no, i think the companies are doing the right thing by refusing law enforcement's request and the subpoenas should be reviewed. eric: on the other side of this, this is what the aclu says, that police departments are doing this, quote, police department and other law

enforcement agencies have begun collecting and permanently storing dna from arrestees and other innocent persons. this represents a great threat to privacy and turns the legal notion that a person is innocent until proven p guilty on its head. how do you think they should solve this? >> well, the bottom line is this, eric. search warrants are not optional. you get a search warrant that's dually issued -- i think stacy and i are saying a lot of the same things. she's right, when law enforcement issues a search warrant that was signed by a judge it has to be particularized. she is absolutely right. once it meets those conditions, even -- you can't ask ancestry.com, the they can't ask is it okay if i release it. that's why we have serve warrants and it's consistent with the constitution. when it moves forward, that's why we have courts and judges and lawyers and that's you how it's going to be resolved on each individual case. eric: its in the courts and a

we'll he see. chris and stacy, thank you. arthel. arthel: we are in the final stretch before the first in the nation pry mayor youlies and as the candidates try to drum up support in new hampshire, we are live on the campaign trail. that's up next. if your gums bleed when you brush, you may have gingivitis. and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums, and possibly... tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax.
