>> another road trip. we're heading to new hampshire today. we'll be live there from tomorrow and the next day. >> they don't have the app they have in iowa. we are expecting results. >> sandra: see you in manchester. fox news alert. the final stretch in new hampshire. hours until voters cast ballots in tomorrow's first in the nation primary. here we go. good morning, i'm sandra smith. >> ed: another big week. good morning. i'm ed henry. 2020 candidates barnstorming the state all day long. latest polling bernie sanders on top 27%. pete buttigieg in second but may be slipping while amy klobuchar and may be climbing. >> sandra: the president wants to shake up the dems a bit will be holding a rally there tonight as each candidate makes the case they are the ones to beat him. >> i am putting together with

your help the campaign that will bring an end to the trump presidency and deliver it with a big enough margin that we can send trumpism into the history books, too. >> we're going to build a beautiful blue wall of votes around these states and we're going to make donald trump pay for it. >> please come out on tuesday. let's win here. let's defeat trump and transform this country. >> peter doocy is live in new hampshire. the finish line is finally in sight, good morning. >> it is tomorrow, ed. good morning and the two candidates who claim they won iowa are both campaigning like they can go two for two by going after each other. bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. >> i respect senator sanders but when i hear this message go out you're either for a revolution or you have to be for the status quo, that's a vision of the country that doesn't have room for most of

us. because we know what has to change. but we also know that we're going to bring about that change by coming together, not by saying if you don't agree with me 100% of the time you don't belong on my side. >> i've spoken to democratic sources. the fight between progressive or more moderate democrats was expected to be warren versus biden. now it's sanders versus buttigieg in new hampshire. where their money comes from is part of that fight. >> i'm running against some guys, pete buttigieg among others who raised campaign funds from over 40 billionaires. heads of large corporations, ceos in the pharmaceuticals and people from wall street. our campaign is a very different campaign. >> where does joe biden fit into any of this? he claims he is not writing off new hampshire but lowering expectations and mixing it up

with voters who challenge him why he struggled in iowa. >> why should the voters believe that you can win the national election? >> that's a good question. number one, i was a democratic caucus -- been to a caucus? >> biden picked on pete buttigieg this morning. because he is a small-town mayor not a u.s. senator he is no barack obama. >> ed: peter doocy live on the ground in new hampshire. >> sandra: it's heating up. let's bring in byron york for "the washington examiner" and fox news contributor. all the heat not melting the snow in new hampshire. you're on the ground. what are you hearing? >> well, i mean the interesting thing here is after this enormous screw-up by the iowa democratic party, iowa didn't winnow the field that much.

we have five people here who are fighting it out. but historical fact is no democrat has ever gone on to win the nomination without finishing first or second here. and i mean it seems to me right now that that includes bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. and the democratic establishment is still very, very unhappy with bernie sanders. does that mean they give more tickets out of new hampshire than they normally would? not entirely clear. >> sandra: biggest question still is joe biden -- you write about this in your piece today. centrist voters cut biden out of the picture. nearly 1/3 of voters you write remain undecided just hours before tuesday's primary but being undecided does not mean a voter is open to any candidate and that looks like more bad news for biden. explain, byron. >> i was at a buttigieg rally. a lot of people will say they're still shopping, not totally committed to a

candidate. but they have narrowed the choice down. among democrats who believe who call themselves centrists say the choice was biden and buttigieg. they don't like warren or sanders, too far left for them. i said who does that leave? he said pete and amy. meaning buttigieg and klobuchar. what about joe biden? they said he is too old. they said it very quickly. what appears to be happening is that some voters who might be joe biden targets are now just cutting him out of the picture. one democrat i talked to said -- i said is biden losing support by the hour? he said by the minute. >> sandra: very interesting. i know i read that in your piece as well as i read you talking to some undecided voters about joe biden and it is not necessarily a dislike for joe biden. they just decided he is not the

one. what about momentum for pete buttigieg coming off of iowa? >> he seems to have that momentum. the victory in iowa is contested. a.p. didn't even call a winner in iowa. but the iowa democratic party says that buttigieg got a little bit more in delegates that bernie sanders did. although sanders won the popular vote as we know buttigieg then claimed victory. that has really helped him, given him a lot of momentum. he appears to be really moving up. he has moved up a substantial amount here in new hampshire since february 1 a couple of days before iowa in a much, much bigger position. now he appears to be challenging at least for second place and possibly to win the whole thing. >> sandra: it's fascinating talking about the one supporter talking about biden losing momentum by the minute. you end your piece saying for biden and the rest of the field

things are changing not by the hour but the minute. whose race is this to win? >> well, to win you would have to say sanders and buttigieg. the bigger thing is right now is to lose. because remember, joe biden talked about south carolina where he has some support of a lot of african-american democrats. being his firewall. sometimes the firewall might not work if he does this badly here as a number of people seem to think he will. one thing about the person who said biden was losing support by the minute, all the polls we have, most of them are hours old. most of them are a day old, 36 hours, 48 hours old. the situation could really change since then. so i'm not sure the polls are giving us an entirely accurate picture of what is happening at this precise minute. >> sandra: that leaves a lot of uncertainty. a lot of questions. byron york, thank you. see you in new hampshire. >> ed: when you hear that

reporting from byron, "politico" is also saying about joe biden he is on the ropes. that's what they're saying. the whole mantra of electability is on the line. warren as well. she finished third in iowa, many thought she might have a crack at the top spot. now new hampshire from the neighboring state of massachusetts might finish fourth or fifth. people will make big decisions. >> sandra: we'll be there tonight and go to the rallies. see, support and momentum. >> ed: we're doing the show tuesday and wednesday from there. in the meantime this alert. china reporting its most deadly day yet since the coronavirus virus outbreak killing more than 900 people surpassing the number of deaths in the sars epidemic two decades ago. dozens new cases are confirmed aboard the cruise ship off the coast of japan. we have the latest details.

>> the world health organization says it's sending a team to china to investigate the coronavirus outbreak as numbers continues to rise. one of their biggest areas of concern is human-to-human transmission in healthcare facilities. more than 99% of the coronavirus cases remain in china. no one has died inside the u.s., officials over the weekend confirmed the first american death overseas. a 60-year-old hospitalized in wuhan. in the city of the epicenter at the outbreak coronavirus is front and center on social media. >> people discuss online about how long this outbreak, this epidemic could end. people are discussing when can we see a reducing number of people getting infected or lower death rates? >> in japan health authorities

are thinking about -- japanese media report 130 people have tested positive for the virus on the cruise ship. everybody else ordered to remain on board for february 19. the 14-day quarantine period will start over again with anyone having direct contact with an infected cruise ship. another ship is scheduled to leave new jersey at three this afternoon. all four passengers screened for coronavirus on that ship tested negative. three of the passengers who shared the same cabin were diagnosed with flu. there was a fourth passenger who was tested. that passenger displayed no symptoms but was tested because of recent travel to china. >> ed: thank you for staying on top of that story. >> sandra: president trump set to unveil his $4.8 trillion spending plan setting his sights on a second term. what is in and what is out?

the acting office of management and budget director russ vought is our headliner this morning. >> ed: making history on hollywood's biggest night. a foreign film comes up big and guess what? stars are getting political. that's not a surprise but we'll bring you the stunners. >> sandra: as bernie sanders surges in new hampshire republicans sounding the alarm on socialism. what are his chances of winning the nomination? >> our campaign is off to a great start as some of you may know. we won the popular vote in the iowa caucus by 6,000 votes. [cheering and applause] i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof! whoof!

so get allstate where good drivers save 40% for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby!

>> in many respects we're a socialist society today and we'll take on wall street and the insurance companies and the drug companies and the fossil fuel industry and finally create a government and economy that works for all of us. >> sandra: bernie sanders defending his agenda ahead of tomorrow's big primary in new hampshire. the "wall street journal" editorial board warning republicans saying he cannot win. points out hillary clinton saying the same thing about donald trump. let's bring in mary ann marsh. great to have you on this morning. so is your party willing to vote for a socialist? >> well, they already are. look what happened in iowa.

the results there are up for debate. a.p. hasn't called it. we keep score by delegates, not popular vote. bernie sanders we'll see if he got more delegates than buttigieg. he will do well in new hampshire. i wouldn't be surprised if buttigieg won. the problem for bernie sanders, donald trump wants sanders in the general election and why so many trump advisors and campaign operatives promoting bernie sanders. the problem for bernie sanders is he would have to redefine and make the case for socialism versus bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. warren claiming she is a capitalist and bernie claiming he is a socialist. that's not how a general election would work nine months from now. >> sandra: your party willing to nominate a socialist in the middle of a booming u.s. economy? >> if you listen to the sanders campaign explanation donald

trump gave $1 trillion of welfare taxes to the richest people in the country and they're cutting social service neither, cutting food programs for poor kids. cutting education and everything. that's the debate they want to have. it's a good debate to have. the problem is it comes with all the baggage and freight that the word socialism comes with. i don't think the country is there yet. i don't think it ever will be. part of the party supports that and why bernie sanders is in front right now. see how he does tomorrow night. he will either be one or two. it's a tough fight in november. >> sandra: let's get to your piece. new hampshire votes. three candidates to watch on tuesday. not shocking you write with 40 hours until the polls close there are three people to watch. sanders, buttigieg and warren. if sanders or buttigieg win new hampshire maybe sending them on their way to the nomination, if warren wins it resets the race. explain. >> so new hampshire has played one of two roles.

if you win iowa and come to new hampshire and win you rocket to the nomination and run the table. we're not quite sure how iowa landed. if you come in and you come in with too much and new hampshire has doubts about you they pump the brakes and say let's fight this out all the way to the end or put somebody else in there so there is a fight. what we'll see tomorrow night is sanders or buttigieg in first and if buttigieg wins don't consider it a surprise. he has momentum here, great operation. that won't be a surprise to me. the surprise would be -- >> sandra: you end your piece new hampshire will have its day soon and the country will take note. what does it say how much weight you're putting on the results tonight after what we saw happen in iowa. >> a premium tomorrow night when the country starts to pay attention to the presidential race. they look up and say who won the new hampshire iowa. they don't do it with iowa. someone who comes through here

will be president. almost every time yes we have the looming question mark of mike bloomberg out there but at the end of this someone who comes through ends up in the white house. you learn something about everybody when they do and i think that's the role new hampshire plays. they meet these candidates three or four times each. they vet them well and done it for 100 years. you learn what kind of person will be in the white house and what kind of president they'll be by the performance in the new hampshire primary. >> sandra: you set it up for us. we'll be watching. everyone will the next couple of days so closely. thank you. >> ed: we're also watching nearly a week after his acquittal president trump still riding high going after two senators for their votes in the impeachment trial. our a-team weighs in on that next hour. plus dueling rallies in new hampshire. can the president grab some of the democrats' spotlight tonight? new hampshire governor john sununu joins us live next. >> president trump: most of the states. almost every one.

>> sandra: the pentagon identifying two u.s. soldiers killed in an attack in afghanistan. both 28 years old. they were gunned down late saturday when a man dressed in an afghan army uniform opened fire on u.s. and afghan forces in eastern afghanistan. six other u.s. troops were wounded in that attack. >> ed: president trump heading up to new hampshire for a rally ahead of tomorrow's democratic primary. he is looking to grab some of

the spotlight before the vote. governor chris sununu. you will go ahead of the president leaving washington after these meetings with governors including yourself this morning. we'll be hearing from the president at 11:00 a.m. eastern. what do you look to hear from the president tonight at this rally? >> positivity. when you look at the success that he has had for the economy. as we all know that creates opportunity for families. income opportunity, better quality of life. all these things. those are a lot of his successes and he can and should take a little bit of a march on that. the country is doing very, very well. never mind the negativity out of washington, new hampshire is doing very well. he has been a big part of that. usmca agreement passed and regulatory reform. he will be talking about that? >> ed: the president critics will say what about the president's tweets and attacks on senators like joe manchin and mitt romney who voted against him in the impeachment

trial. what are you hearing from your voters in new hampshire where people like politics to be a more quiet and decent sport? >> it's not like that we like our politics quiet. we like genuine people. whether you agree or not with this president, policies or successes. he says what he means and means what he says. there is something genuine about that and why he won in the primary handedly in 2016. and that's what you are seeing with some of these other candidates on the democrat side now. the ones that are phone east pla indicating and pandering to constituents those are the folks falling off. bernie does well not because he is a progressive socialist. he does well, whether you like his views or not, he is pretty genuine about them. he is a socialist and up front bit and something genuine. in terms of the base that's where in new hampshire why he will likely win tonight. new hampshire we want our politicians to be people first.

>> ed: absolutely. let's stay on the democrats you raised. big primary coming tomorrow. let's look at the totals are finally in from iowa. buttigieg with 14 delegates, just edging out sanders at 12. warren 8, biden 6, klobuchar one. let's start with the politics of it all. what is the sense of amy klobuchar surging in your state? >> i have no doubt she is surging. the fact is that as we all know there is this progressive sorlist base, more of a moderate democrat base and a giant fracture. i don't think it gets healed through the election process. the moderates are looking at biden doing slip-ups. they'll look for a klobuchar. those folks are ones that again don't just try to play indicate. tell it like it is. when they asked the candidates in the new hampshire would you have a problem with a socialist at the top of the ticket klobuchar had the bravery to

raise her hand and say of course america would. that genuine honesty is why she will do well. >> ed: iowa results. the national punch line that sits with you trying to keep new hampshire first in the nation primary status. you've promised that the primary will be quote, unquote perfect. we heard that from some of the iowa leaders heading into their caucuses and it didn't work out. what can you promise the people of new hampshire what we'll see tomorrow? >> new hampshire had the first in the nation primary for 100 years. it's not just a tradition but you look at responsibly. 100 years of responsibility. one person, one vote. you get the results every time. we have a different process. we aren't run by campaigns or political parties but the attorney general and secretary of state's office. we get it right. we take it very seriously and why you see such high voter turnout and why such great diversity amongst those republicans, democrats,

independents, everyone participates in the process. >> ed: last question. you mentioned the president won the new hampshire primary going away almost four years ago. he just barely was edged out by hillary clinton in your state in the general election. you mentioned the good economic numbers, the story the president has to tell. what does he have to do tonight and days ahead to get the four electoral votes? >> at the end of the day i think it's okay to tell people to be selfish with their vote. people should vote in their own interests. when you look at the economic prosperity, prosperity and opportunities bringing to families, individual liberty that is there that's exactly what folks in new hampshire want. when they go to the ballot box why they pull the lever and donald trump will win new hampshire because match our pro-business message with his economic success. >> ed: the world will be watching your state tomorrow and in the hours and immediately aftermath to make sure it goes well. appreciate you coming in this morning. >> thank you. we'll get it right. >> sandra: that's a promise. fox news alert. gunman targeting new york city

police officers. >> this was an attempt to assassinate police officers. we need to use that word. because it was a premeditated effort to kill. >> sandra: why the nypd says it's part of a disturbing trend. >> ed: a 2020 democrat with billions in the bank now calling for a $22 minimum wage. will that idea buy him support in the primaries? maria bartiromo is here with us. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> sandra: a gunman ambushing police officers in two separate attacks. the suspect will be raigned on attempted murder charges today after witnesses said he opened fire inside a new york city police station just hours after an earlier assassination attempt targeting officers on patrol. alex hogan is live in the bronx with more on that. >> that's right. that suspect 45-year-old robert williams is expected to be here today to face those charges after police say he opened fire on the nypd twice within just 12 hours. that suspect was then taken to the hospital for evaluation. there was also another woman with him at the time and she was taken in for questioning. and police say this man has a history of violence including an attempted murder conviction for which he was paroled in 2017. investigators say williams bargeed into the 41st precinct

sunday at 8:00 a.m. opening fire at officers on close range. one officer is recovering from a gunshot wound to his left arm. that attack was after another attack targeting two officers in the patrol van. the police officer shot has been released from the medical center. >> that's what is most frightening about this. this is not a crime gone bad. this is not a liquor store robbery interrupted that a tragedy erupts from. this is a premeditated assassination attempt. >> new york governor andrew cuomo responding there is zero tolerance for this kind of violence. president trump slamming the governor and new york city mayor linking the crimes to what he calls weak leadership. both officers are expected to make a full recovery. lawmakers say it is a miracle that they are sending them home and not planning funerals. the mayor again speaking out against this violence saying that the hatred against police

needs to end. but the police union is saying that they are standing against mayor bill deblasio going on to say they're declaring war against him saying that his voters do not support the police, they even went on to say they do not want the mayor visiting officers in the hospital and saying, quote, game on, sandra. >> sandra: alex morgan in the bronx for us on that this morning. thank you. >> $7.25, really? if that was just inflation adjusted it should be $11 and the fair number should be $22 an hour. that should be the minimum wage in the united states of america. $22. >> ed: that is billionaire presidential candidate steier calling for a major hike triple the current rate. maria bartiromo here.

$22 an hour is $5 higher than any other democrat is proposing. he is saying let's have the government come in and raise wages at a time when we've seen a blue collar boom already in wages. >> i think this falls under the category of unintended consequences. it is what you want to look at here. first of all, tom steyer has to do something to get noticed. i understand him deciding to say $22. that will get him to get talked about on shows like this one. that's exactly what we're doing. but when you raise the minimum wage to levels that small businesses find choking, they will do one thing. lay off, cut workers, or close their businesses all together. we've spoken a lot on mornings with maria on fox business the small business owners who say i can't afford $20 an hour. $22 an hour will almost cause me to cut worker. when you look at proposals like this you must start considering the unidentified consequences. >> ed: you tell them your wages

are going to go up. if the business owner cuts hours you have fewer dollars. let's talk about the president's budget. $4.4 trillion dollar budget. more money for the border wall and defense spending but cutbacks in the social safety net. democrats will jump on that. >> over time everybody knows the growth in our debt comes from the safety nets. i think over time most people on both sides of the aisle will agree that we need to make some changes here. they could be slow changes. they could take effect in 10 or 20 years. but at some point we need to get these programs to stop bleeding money the way that they are. i think what the president is going to say at 12:00 when they officially release the budget is to try to stress the idea they're hoping to cut $4.6 trillion from the debt and deficits over 10 years. that's what they really want to communicate to the american people. they do have an eye on debt and

deficits. they do recognize this cannot go on forever and want to do something over a 10-year period to get the numbers down. in doing that, they are making predictions about the economy and talking about the economy growing about 3% a year for the next 10 years although we'll have a hit in 2020 they said. that will grow at 2.8% for a number of factors including the coronavirus. but predicting interest rates stay low. if you borrow a lot you want to borrow a lot when you have interest rates low and white house is predicting that rates -- 10-year rates will be 2% or lower for a 10-year period. >> ed: bloomberg news suggests the global economy will take a hit in the first quarter of 280 billion because of the coronavirus. we see the impact of the coronavirus, more deaths over the weekend, more cases. dow is only down slightly this morning perhaps on some of those fears, others as well. what is your sense of where we are with coronavirus. >> putting sickness and death

aside. this is human issues and that's what most important. but when you identify the economic issues around this, this is real and it will be significant. if you take out china for the first quarter in the global economy, which is what you should do. you don't have any flights going in and out. companies from starbucks to google to qualcomm cutting their operations around wuhan and throughout china. that means you can write off the first quarter in china. if you write off the first quarter in china, then that will impact the global economy down the road. remember, you have parts shortages and component shortages. a lot of components and parts that go into medical devices, phones, all sorts of things we buy, cars, components are in china. if they have backlogs in terms of the factorys. it will be bottlenecks and earnings. the global economy slows down

and u.s. takes a hit in the second or third quarter. >> ed: the human cost is first. there is an economic as well. >> big time. >> ed: appreciate your insight. >> sandra: thank you, fox news alert now. florida man held ot a half million dollars after an attack on a republican group. >> biden's claim he is the most electable candidate facing a test after coming in fourth in iowa. the stakes couldn't be any higher in new hampshire now. >> i know i can take trump physically and mentally. they'll say i challenge trump. i don't challenge him to fight or anything. i challenge him in a golf game if he carries his own bag. president trump warned the drug companies.

it's unacceptable that americans pay vastly more than people in other countries, for the exact same drugs. but they aren't listening. they've just raised the prices of over five hundred drugs. president trump supports a bipartisan plan, that would force drug companies to lower prices. but the senate won't act. tell senate leaders to stop drug company price gouging and lower drug prices now.

[applause] >> phoenix winning the best actor was the best bet for a political speech. president trump was probably braced for it. probably already had a responding tweet written but phoenix didn't go after the president. he left immigration alone. he didn't mention impeachment. his passion and outrage reserved instead for milk. >> we feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and when she gives birth we

>> there are only a couple things i can tell you for certain. i'm your nominee and i become president because if i'm your nominee i will beat him. >> sandra: that was joe biden in new hampshire ahead of tomorrow's primary. the real clear politics polling average shows the former vice president trailing sanders, buttigieg and warren in the granite state. let's bring in the speaker of the new hampshire house of representatives. he has also endorsed joe biden. welcome and good morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me on the show. >> sandra: great to have you here this morning. biden claims he is the most electable candidate out there. can he win in new hampshire?

>> i think that's going to be an uphill battle for him to come in first place in new hampshire. i think the vice president admitted to that during the debate. but i think he will have a strong showing here in the granite state. >> sandra: if he can't win in iowa and new hampshire, how can he beat donald trump? >> well, i think the vice president now is looking forward to going to south carolina and nevada where i think he will do very well. you know, i think we in new hampshire, a lot of people i know are still undecided who they will vote for. we have 11 or 12% that haven't made up their minds yet. with the undeclareds coming into vote you never know where those votes may go. i think what happens in new hampshire is still up in the air. >> sandra: are you suggesting with the third of undecided voters in new hampshire they could swing to joe biden? >> i don't know if they'll swing to joe biden in totality

but i think the vice president may do better in the granite state than the polls show. but you know one thing we democrats in new hampshire know, that at least for myself i want joe biden to be our candidate for president. but regardless of who our nominee is, democrats will be supporting the nominee of the party. and i will work hard for whoever is nominated as i would for the vice president. i'm hoping it is the vice president and i want him to do well. but regardless of who we end up nominating, democrats will work hard and it's not because we're in step with the democratic party. we're very concerned about the president now, donald trump, with his policies, his programs, and for myself his demeaning personality. i would rather have somebody in the white house i agree with 80% of the time as opposed to somebody now that i'll never agree with. >> sandra: well, as we know the polling shows that there could be a fourth or fifth place finish for joe biden in new

hampshire. you talk about an uphill battle. if that were to happen, what's the future of his campaign? >> well, i think that's up to the vice president and his campaign staff to determine. i'm sure they'll wait until after the nevada and the south carolina primaries. the polls in south carolina show him still very strong there. and that would give his campaign a boost to come in first place down there. but as far as new hampshire, i think he has already lowered his expectations as he told us during the recent debate. >> sandra: there have been targeted attacks against buttigieg. buttigieg responded to one of the latest attacks from joe biden on "fox news sunday". biden saying buttigieg, not barack obama. who is buttigieg responding. >> i would like to say that the democrats who win are the ones who push for generational

change. john kennedy, bill clinton, barack obama. he says -- his quote, he is no barack obama. >> he is right, i'm not. neither is he. neither are any of us. this isn't 2008. this is 2020. >> sandra: do attacks like that on some of the leading candidates by joe biden help or hurt the former vice president? >> i think it comes out neutral. i think for some voters they may find it important that he is pointing out maybe a problem with somebody else's candidacy and maybe he is not the same amount of experience. but i think -- i think by and large the race is about the vice president's ability and his past experiences and his innate ability to govern the nation on day one. myself personally i've run in several house elections. i've never run against anybody. i've always run for something.

i think that's something people in new hampshire find more refreshing than going after an individual candidate. i think it's important for the vice president to speak about his outstanding record and the amount of qualifications he brings to the office. >> sandra: we appreciate you coming on this morning on the show this morning, speaker of the new hampshire house of representatives. a big couple days for your state and we appreciate your time. >> it is a great pleasure to talk with you. >> sandra: ed. >> ed: fox news alert. hundreds of people quar an teend on a cruise ship. the death toll climbing in china. the race to contain the deadly virus coming up. president trump unveiling the 4.4 trillion dollar budget. ross vought is joining us, our headliner today. he joins us straight ahead. >> president trump: our nation is in the midst of the single

greatest comeback. i heard china will take over the largest economy in 2019. we're so far ahead now. we became a rocket ship.

>> ed: good morning. fox news alert. the final countdown in new hampshire as the 2020 democrats make their final push for votes. i'm ed henry. >> sandra: here we are new

hampshire. i'm sandra smith. the candidates crisscrossing across the state. a tight race at the top between bernie sanders and pete buttigieg. he is trying to capitalize on momentum from iowa firing up supporters at a rally yesterday. >> are you ready to reach out to everybody you know and call them into that movement that will turn the page? are you ready for that sunrise where donald trump's presidency is in the rear view and ready to make history on tuesday and go win in november? >> ed: in a moment or so our a-team will weigh in on the final campaign mass nations ahead of the primaries tomorrow. live with matt finn following the buttigieg campaign. good morning. >> good morning. this morning mayor pete has big signs of momentum heading into tomorrow's primary.

he has officially been awarded the most delegates in iowa beating bernie sanders in last week's caucus debacle and yesterday mayor pete's campaign gann touting it received the largest crowd of any democratic candidate in the new hampshire cycle so far. bernie sanders beat the crowd with 100 more people yesterday afternoon. bernie and pete are going toe-to-toe in new hampshire. mayor pete is also doing very well in polls here. a close second behind bernie sanders or even within the margin of error. buttigieg has been crisscrossing new hampshire holding events morning tonight. one of his final messages is he is the crossover candidate with appeal to independents and he says even some disenchanted republicans. he has the calm, cool temperament to be president. his campaign is trying to paint buttigieg as the opposite of president trump and more like obama. mayor pete's opponents are heating up their attacks. buttigieg is starting to

directly respond. bernie sanders is criticizing buttigieg for taking donations from billionaires. mayor pete says he takes donations of all amounts from anyone who wants to beat president trump and hitting back at bernie for being too extreme. >> i respect sanders, the values we all share. but in a moment like this telling americans that you've either got to be for a revolution or for the status quo is telling most of us we don't belong and we need a political movement where everybody can find a home. >> joe biden is also repeatedly making jabs at mayor pete. biden is touting his support from the african-american community. mayor pete says he is working to earn the black vote and hopes they will give him a second chance especially as he heads south. mayor pete was asked about that indicating black teens were four times more likely to be

arrested for marijuana possession when he was mayor. he said it is a nationwide problem he couldn't solve as mayor. >> the disparity is there across the country. a problem and one of the reasons i'm proposing we legalize marijuana outright. >> mayor pete is scheduled to take the stage in a short while at a meet pete event at plymouth state university. >> ed: the music in the background. >> sandra: get up and dance, ed. let's bring in our a-team. david avella. have to stop him from busting a move. michael gordon former spokesman for the clinton justin department. thanks to you all for being here. we're in full campaign mode off to mafrm -- new hampshire. >> the iowa fiasco confirmed the race is over for joe biden and elizabeth warren and

arguably amy klobuchar. now we're starting to see that michael bloomberg is getting special treatment and could that be because he is willing to keep his operation up all the way until november so that the democrats become the -- >> when we get tom in here. when you say it might be over for warren and klobuchar. klobuchar seems to be rising a bit. sanders,, buttigieg -- klobuchar has been coming up lately. >> yeah, she has definitely moved up post debate performance friday night. she could actually finish third in new hampshire and claim to be the comeback kid. that would be really bad news for warren and joe biden if they finish in fourth or fifth place behind klobuchar. she seems to have a bit of momentum. i don't know where it takes

here but something -- a narrative she can can spin coming out of new hampshire. >> sandra: michael. in new hampshire sanders polling 26% to buttigieg 21%. warren down to 13%. biden now polling just under 13 and klobuchar under 10% now. for joe biden how important is this moment? >> it's very important but not as important as south carolina. so he is clearly on a slide. he had a terrible race in iowa. he is predicting himself that he will lose new hampshire, but his firewall is south carolina. that's his opportunity to stay in the race through super tuesday. if he doesn't stay in and isn't successful in south carolina he has to get out before super tuesday. >> ed: bernie sanders was neck-and-neck, we don't know who won iowa. tom, you want to say something? >> think about the narrative that's taking place in the past week the joe biden. struggled in iowa. he finishes badly in new

hampshire it is 18 days to south carolina. imagine what that narrative will be like? how he will have to defend. he is running out of money. struggling with donors. fourth or fifth place finish in new hampshire will shut off -- >> ed: his mantra was electability. if you can't win anywhere how do you make the case. james carville coming at this from the left. it is the economy, stiepd. here he is this morning about bernie sanders? >> in a general election we have to win south carolina, georgia, texas. there is a certain part of the democratic party that wants us to be a cult. i'm not interested in being in a cult. i'm 75 years old. i'm just not a very culty person. >> ed: sounds like he is writing ads for the trump campaign. >> it does. more insightful comments he said he would ultimately vote for bernie sanders as the nominee. to the earlier point here, my advance political science degree from shepherd university, harvard on the pot

om act tells me that 27 is bigger than 14 for klobuchar and sanders at 27. he will win the new hampshire primary. when warren drops out he will get a lot of her supporters and biden supporters. >> sandra: you are gunning for the bernie sanders nomination. >> bernie sanders, michael bloomberg. not nestle that bloomberg gets the nomination but he has the money to go the distance. >> sandra: bernie sanders make his charge. republicans say he can't win. that's what hillary clinton said about donald trump. be careful they're saying. >> it was the exact point i was going to make. 2020 could be a replay of 2016. there were a lot of people fighting for the nomination and that benefited trump because he was coming in first with a plurality. that's what's happening to sanders. sanders also reaches out to swing voters and reaches out to

working class voters. no one should write him off. i agree a socialist is not necessarily the messaging we want to go with. it doesn't excite the middle of the country where i'm from. >> sandra: if he makes the case it is not enough for republicans just to say you can't possibly vote for a socialist. it writes mr. sanders beating mr. trump in most head-to-head polls in key states and simply labeling him a socialist won't be enough. the impossible can be inhe evitable. >> let's talk about sanders democratic socialism means. it means they'll have a medicare for all program which is unpopular among swing state voters. he wants to do the green new deal, which is also unpopular. his chief surrogate is aoc out of new york. not very popular among

republicans and swing voters. it is defining what that means and helping voters understand that is important. there has to be a bit of a chuckle here given that bernie sanders got the most votes out of iowa yet he is not going to be given all of the delegates from the party that is for a national popular vote in the general election. if you get all the votes you ought to win. they don't adhere to it in iowa. >> ed: that's interesting. brit hume said this yesterday during an election special about bernie sanders and the system being rigged and all the rest. watch. >> sanders campaign this time and the time before is basically a conspiracy theory running against a tiny little segment of the population whose influence he is easily overestimated and probably not good politics. >> ed: sanders was at a rally yesterday saying i have people behind me and taking on the corporations. a message a lot of people are responding to. >> he does. the democrats will be faced if the polls are correct and

sanders win new hampshire, he will be in the driver's seat in terms of winning this nomination and the establishment is going to fight back somehow, some way against him. it is a question of how that plays out. i don't think michael bloomberg, to his -- this couldn't have gone better for him as far as the way the script is rolled out. even though he spent a lot of money and rose in the national polls. in california we had a poll the end of january he was at 4%. we aren't seeing -- a long way from 15% and getting close to winning a delegate. he has a long way to go bloomberg. even though things have went his way so far. >> sandra: we're a long way from saying the word impeachment. we've changed to the 2020 conversation. the fallout from impeachment. michael, the president responding to joe manchin in a tweet yesterday. they're mad at senator joe munchkin in west virginia. he couldn't understand the transcript.

romney could but didn't want to. manchin said i've read the transcripts thoroughly and listened. they defend themselves with witnesses and evidence. >> everyone was saying there would be a bipartisan acquittal a week ago. there wasn't. in fact, there was a bipartisan vote to convict. and so it is very different today than it was a week ago. having said that i do think in the grand scale democrats lost impeachment but won on witnesses. something they could use in the fall against some of those senators who voted to acquit. >> sandra: as chuck schumer said an asterisk next to the acquittal. >> joe manchin is not up for reelection. he won. take the win and move on. the kind of stuff that even sort of squishy trump voters and republicans don't like. the tweeting and name calling and constant battling. take the win, move on to the general election. >> ed: if we had this conversation a couple of months

ago you had democrats saying we would win impeachment and a great political issue. didn't work for them. not just the vote but the atmosphere is such it might have worked out pretty well for the president. >> michael pointed out it was a bipartisan conviction vote and also a bipartisan against impeachment out of the house. as a native west virginiaian having watched joe than what chin most of my life he tried to straddle the line between being a conservative and liberal and has often voted with the president but on this vote he is clearly put himself in the camp of the progressive liberals that west virginia voters won't forget. >> sandra: lindsey graham on the dismissal of lieutenant colonel vindman responding on face the nation over the weekend. >> i think his reassignment was justified. i don't think he could be effective at the nsc. as much as i support our military people telling the truth when asked, it's important they do. what have i learned in the last

two years? cia agents, department of justice lawyers, f.b.i. agents have a political agenda and they acted on it. >> sandra: he makes the case, michael, that the president was justified in firing alex vindman and he was acting on a political agenda. >> the point is that the president has the right to surround himself with people that he is comfortable with and trusts. but the point of the way vindman was fired to send a message. don't cross me, okay? don't go against me in any way. i'll make you do the perp walk. >> probably much larger numbers will happen out of the f.b.i. as far as reassignments and firings and given what we're now learning maybe all justified. >> look, this was -- we knew this was going to happen. the nsc would be downsized anyway. this might have been a message on trump's part but it is within his rights to have folks who believe in his agenda and are loyal to him in the white

house. >> sandra: our a-team this morning. thank you very much. >> ed: quick programming note. "america's newsroom" going on the road. we'll have you covered for the new hampshire primary. we're live from the granite state tomorrow and wednesday with all the results we hope. >> sandra: bags are packed. >> ed: we thought we would have a iowa results quickly, too. start to finish fox news coverage democracy 2020, don't miss it. in the meantime new details on the brother and sister missing in idaho. what police have reportedly found now and how it involves the children's home. >> sandra: the president planning to release his new budget proposal today. it's drawing sharp criticism from nancy pelosi already. details on the plan next with the acting office of management and budget directly russ vought will join us live here in "america's newsroom." >> president trump: i'm asking congress to fully fund the heart of this program to insure the next man and first woman on the moon will be american astronauts using this as a

launching pad to insure that america is the first nation to plant its flag on mars. powerfu. i have the power to lower powerfu. my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite,

which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

>> sandra: a look at some other top stories we're following on

this monday morning. first the latest of the two missing idaho siblings. police saying the cell phone of 17-year-old was found with her mother in hawaii. they say the phone was used several times after the teenager disappeared but is unclear who used it. she and her brother have been missing since september. in the northwest oregon floodwaters starting to recede after heavy rain that brought severe flooding and forced people to evacuate. authorities are allowing those residents to return home. nasa launching a new solar orbite into space last night. >> ed: the white house releasing its proposed budget for 2021. we confirmed the details of the plan funding the federal government starting october 1. >> sandra: it includes the following, 4.8 trillion in

total spending. increase in funding for the military and nasa. $292 billion in cuts to safety net programs and reduce deficits by more than $4 trillion over 10 years. let's bring in our headliner russ vought director of the office of management and budgets. thank you for being here this morning. appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me on. >> sandra: what is your message about this budget plan and what do we need to know? >> it balances the budget in 15 years, more deficit reduction, 4.6 trillion than any president's budget in history. continues to do everything we can to deal with the trillion dollar deficits that we're seeing as a result of congress ignoring the president's spending reductions over the first three years. we continue to grow the economy at 3%. a post policy budget so all the things that we're calling for infrastructure, better trade deals are reflected in these assumptions. it is necessary to keep americans working and dealing with our deficit. >> ed: let's get into the spending before we get into the

cuts. in terms of defense spending as i understand it goes up .3% in the president's proposal. talk about that and whether hawks on the right will feel like that's enough for our military. number two we're told the president wants new money for his border wall. a big priority. talk about that. >> this complies with the recent agreement with defense spending including within that 1% increase for defense a 20% increase for nuclear modernization and the important work being done under the department of energy. as it pertains to the border wall we ask for additional funds. what we've secured over three years has required the mission critical requirements along the southern border and continue to request funding as we move towards a steady state but we're going like gangbusters. 100 miles has already been built. 500 miles will have been built by the start of next year. we have a good story to tell as it pertains to the effort along

the southern border. >> sandra: criticism is already pouring in from the left. nancy pelosi saying the budget is a statement of values and once again the president showing how little he values the good health, financial security and hard working american families. after less than a week promising to protect families and healthcare the president is now brazenly inflicting cuts to medicare and medicaid. also pointing out foreign aid being cut by 21%. epa would face a 26% reduction in funding and also cuts to the department of housing and urban development. 15% cuts there. how do you respond to that criticism? >> as it pertains to medicare and medicaid her accusations are false. medicare will grow by 6%, medicaid will grow by 3%. we propose reforms that are good government. things like reducing the cost of prescription drug benefits.

that's 135 billion dollars something that democrats have said they're interested in doing. the president has been very clear there will be no changes to the benefits of social security and medicare and this budget complies with that promise to the american people. >> ed: you know the president did an interview in davos where he talked about entitlement cuts whether it be in the short term or in a potential second term in office. that raised alarm bells on the left. now you are saying look, there won't be any cuts to entitlement programs that the president himself teed up might be coming. which is it? >> the president has been completely frank with the american people. no cuts to social security and medicare beneficiaries. he said that this weekend. this budget complies with the promise. there are changes to mandatory programs that achieve savings that are good government reforms. when we can lower the cost of a cat scan in medicare or lower the cost of prescription durtion or have people get back

to work with a work requirement in medicaid or housing programs those are things that achieved things for taxpayers and help beneficiaries get back to work. >> sandra: you are planning on balancing the budget in 15 years. it's a big promise. what are the biggest challenges? >> the number one challenge is congress needs to come along and pass these spending reductions. we need them to enact them into law. we'll do the best we can here in the administration in doing things regulatoryly. these require statutes. the economic growth numbers rely on infrastructure package. we need a trillion dollar infrastructure bill the president has been talking about for three or four years and before that. nancy pelosi needs to put an infrastructure bill on the floor of the house of representatives. it's crucial to our economic growth numbers going forward and better trade deals. we can't have trade deals like usmca sitting on her desk for a year. we need to move forward with

the business of the american people. we have hope with regard to drug pricing reform. one of the things we've done in the budget is try to ease up on specifics. specifically so that we can give those working on this particular in the senate with senator grassley the ability to get something done on this important issue. >> ed: russ vought, the president's acting budget chief. big day with the new budget out. we'll hear from the president in an hour or so and have comments at the white house. appreciate you coming in first, sir. >> sandra: thank you. >> ed: in the meantime this alert. a florida man now facing charges after an attack on a republican voter registration group. we're live in miami with the details on that coming up. >> sandra: dozens more passengers on board a quarantined cruise ship in japan have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. >> important to stress that everyone 99% of people who get the coronavirus are in china

she is on her way to our house. what? i got it. alexa, start roomba. the lexus es. eagerly prepared for the unexpected. lease the 2020 es 350 for $389 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. >> sandra: fox news alert from washington attorney general bill barr moments ago announced the arrest of four chinese nationals for the massive hack back in 2017. barr was asked about rudy giuliani the president's personal attorney possibly bringing information from ukraine to the justice department. here is what he just said on that.

>> the doj has the obligation to have an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant. but as i did say to senator graham in -- we have to be very careful with respect to any information coming from the ukraine. there are a lot of agendas in the ukraine and crosscurrents. we can't take anything we receive from ukraine at face value. for that reason, we had established an intake process in the field so that any information coming in about ukraine could be carefully scrutinized by the department and its intelligence community partners so we could assess its

credibility. that's true for all information that comes to the department relating to the ukraine including anything mr. giuliani might provide. >> sandra: giuliani, of course, was a central part of the impeachment inquiry for his work investigating hunter biden's role with burisma. >> ed: an alarming spike in the number of deaths in coronavirus killing at least 909 people. that far surpasses the number of those killed by sars in 2003 as more than 60 passengers on board the quarantined cruise ship in japan have now tested positive for the virus. dr. siegel, what do we need to know now? >> we've learned more about the virus. we know it's 2% deadly. we know it is contagious.

much more than we thought originally. we know with great public health measures like here in the united states we've been able to contain it to 12 cases so far. but in britain they've seen secondary spread where one case led to 14 more cases. in china where we don't have the same healthcare infrastructure as here it is spreading and continues to spread out of control with over 40,000 cases. over 900 deaths. i think the message here is that china needs more help. they are letting the world health organization in finally, ed, 15 members of the who experts are coming in. cdc has not been allowed in yet even though they've offered and strategically it has been approved but hasn't happened. we need our own centers with disease control over there to guide this process. we have a lot of experience with it. so far we're being successful. >> sandra: the point there was one million people living at the epicenter of this virus in

wuhan have now left and aren't accounted for. we don't know where they went, dr. siegel. that's a big question. >> good point. some did it before the quarantine. >> sandra: tracking them almost impossible. a big question for us here at home is, is it coming here? if it does come here, does it spread easily? there is so much uncertainty still. if you fly commercially people are wearing the masks. families are talking the risks we may be exposed to. what do you tell people? >> we're learning more than we do before. it's mainly deadly in people that are elderly or chronic diseases. young people the end to recover. there are many thousands of people out there that had it that we don't know about because they had milder cases. i think it will spread here. i think it is going to spread here. it will probably reach what we call pandemic status. i want people out there to know it's never going to be of the proportions here that we're seeing over there. i need people to know the more

containment there is over there the less likely it will become a major problem here. >> ed: what will it take to get the cdc in china. president trump has talked to his chinese counterpart and they've been consulting. this is a closed society, communist government. they don't want to let others in when we need to get more information clearly. >> right now we're putting pressure on them to do it by talking about it. who is the first step. they should have been allowed in long before this. one more thing about the virus. it takes 5 to 7 days to spread most of the time. we thought longer. we're learning more about that, too, sandra. about five days. that cruise ship is unbelievable. now up to 135 passengers, 24 of them americans. you interviewed two. they're panicked and in their rooms. >> sandra: they're on their honeymoon. >> ed: i hope they are getting a refund. people are trying to have a vacation. this is a scary situation. >> it is scary. up to 135.

they'll be quarantined for another week in their rooms which is prudent. the japanese government is handling it responsibly. you want to know how contagious it is? 3700 people on board with the most careful quarantine is up to 135. >> sandra: bottom line what i keep hearing from doctors is wash your hands like any virus, you have to stop the spread of it. >> i also want to send a message wash your hands, wear a mask if you're sick, not if you're not. i don't want to spread the fear message that it's way more prevalent here than it actually is. we have to learn from this how not to spread viruses like you just said. they grow on surfaces, they last on surfaces for two days. if you're sick and you wear that mask a study just shows it's pretty effective. >> ed: 22 million cases in the u.s. now of the flu. 12,000 deaths. so when we talk about pandemic

coronavirus. >> you have fatigue, muscle aches and fever it is 100% likely it's the flu. not coronavirus. i don't want people to be so worried about coronavirus that they miss the flu. they're getting into clinical trials. we have experience from before. i predict that if this dies down now in the spring and comes back in the fall we'll have a vaccine by that. antivirals are being tried successfully. >> ed: dr. siegel bringing us important information. >> sandra: fox news alert a florida man is facing assault charges after police say he deliberately drove his truck into a tent with republican supporters at a shopping center in jacksonville phil keating is live in miami with that story. >> that florida man is now being held on a half million dollars bond charged with three crimes after on saturday plowing his van into a voter

registration tent for republicans and flipping the finger at the crowds. there were six volunteers at the jacksonville shopping center parking lot when witnesses say the suspect approached in his van driving slowly and what seemed to be a friendly way. suddenly turned dangerous as the man accelerated into the group and tent. nobody in the end was injured. however, 27-year-old gregory timm is now charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a person, 65 years old. one count of criminal mischief and driving with a suspended license. the gop said six volunteers with trump's campaign were intentionally targeted while registering voters. >> a man approached us in a van. waving at us a friendly demeanor. thought he was coming up to talk to us. instead he accelerated his vehicle and plowed right into our tent and tables. >> the incident got the

attention of president trump who tweeted this. law enforcement has been notified. be careful, tough guys, who you play with. even tim's roommate didn't quite understand what happened or why. >> for someone to do something like that, whether it be republican or democrat or whatever the case may be, that's surprising to me. >> ronna mcdaniel responded to the senseless acts on real donald trump supporters. they need to end. duvall county democratic party called on all citizens to act with respect, dignity and civility to one another. >> sandra: phil keating in miami for us. thanks. >> ed: still ahead, we're waiting to hear live from the president at the top of the hour meeting with the nation's governors at the white house. we'll take you there live as it happens.

>> sandra: bernie mad-off wants out of prison early after being sentenced to 150 years behind bars. why and what his chances are of walking free. charles payne walks in. good morning. refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now.

>> sandra: kicking off a new week. investors keeping an eye on the coronavirus outbreak we talked about as a number of cases spikes worldwide. charles payne is host is "making money with charles payne" on fox business network. what is happening in markets. brand-new week dow is up another 100 points. it seems undecided for most of the morning. >> well, maybe undecided but let's keep in mind thursday we had all-time highs in every major stock market index. a chance the nasdaq will close at an all-time high today. >> sandra: nasdaq hitting all

time hi is what i'm getting the note. >> amazon is killing it today and others. it goes back to last monday when everyone was bracing for a massive sell-off. early in the week last week names like the momentum names. midweek more conservative buying. here is the thing. money not coming out of the stock market but finding new homes, right? so it's buying fedex or ibm but reluctant to come out of the market. the smart investors saying they've seen a lot of things and watching this. the idea is if we start to see deaths tail off a little bit in terms of the mortality rate, if there is a sense it is confined to china, everyone understands there will be a major blow to the global economy certainly in the first quarter and maybe a little bit in the second quarter. a lot of it will be made up in later quarters.

so wall street is dealing with that. we're dealing with corporate earnings and looking ahead to what has been a great year already in terms of economic data. >> ed: you mentioned the human cost and what maria mentioned last hour is the most important part. the economic impact as well, something people are watching around the globe. bloomberg news has this report suggesting $260 billion as you noted in the first quarter. economy in china could take a big hit. >> it will take a huge hit. by the same token. think when you have the great recession. the things that come out of that are massive spending. already in china we're seeing the central banks making hundreds of billions of dollars available. they actually do a lot of things to stimulate their economy. seeding new investment and they'll spark a greater economic growth in the second half of the year than would have normally happened. some of the stuff is lost and you can't get back. we're hoping that of course this starts to fade. human tally starts to fade and we can focus more on the

fundamentals because the underlying fundamentals for our economy and stock market are very strong right now. >> sandra: bernie madoff, he has been behind bars 11 years now. he is ill. he is asking for his prison sentence to be reduced. the feds are reaching out to his victims and asking for their thoughts on him wanting to walk early. >> this is one of those things where america, we're in my mind i think we're the most forgiving country in the world, really. i see it over and over again. this is a tough one, though. bernie madoff destroyed lives. he really took people's life savings and folks who thought they could retire, people who thought they would be able to help their grandchildren. now they are working. just two weeks ago, a week ago bernie ebbers, do you remember that name from worldcom passed away. let out of prison in december. he made the case his daughter made the case he had dementia

and totally out of it. but again similar story, when he ran his company into the ground such a ponse scheme. it destroyed his company and the stock market. one of the reasons the stock market imploded in 2000. they let him out early. he was supposed to be in until 2030. they let him out 10 years early. maybe if bernie madoff can convince the folks he will die. he hasn't shown any remorse i can see. i saw documentaries, the cool guy in there teaching inmates how to play the market. he had the stature. he was getting -- making money. he was lending money out like a loan shark. reports that came out on him is someone who had very little contrition. >> sandra: one of his sons committed suicide. the other died of cancer. wife was left alone. she is still living up in

connecticut. >> it is tough. when people think about the good old yachting days and private jets and now all the destitute americans who entrusted him. i don't think he will get a lot of sympathy. >> ed: he cheated a lot of people. scientists getting closer to solving an age-old mystery. why a recent discovery from 500 million light years away could be evidence we're not alone in the universe. >> sandra: what? ♪ attentions veterans with va loans,

>> ed: the search for intelligent life in the universe has a new wrinkle. canadian scientists discovered radio signals are repeating in a 16 day pattern.

the first-ever repetition of its kind. good morning. >> this could be a variety of things. it could be alien life. we can't rule that out. they could be trying to send us signals. if that is the case, though, not to rain on that parade, the signals would have come 500 million light years ago. so that it's quite a distance we have to remember that when a signal leaves a spot in space if it takes 100 million years to get here that's how long ago it left there. this is interesting. we've been monitoring -- not me personally. science community has been monitoring these called fast radio bursts since 2007. over 150 of them. over the past couple of weeks the reporting today is there has been one in particular that they've been able to not only see happen repeatedly but they've been able to trace it back to the galaxy from which the signal comes. variety of different things. we mentioned it could be alien

signals or something simple happening in a solar system. it could be a solar system that has two suns instead of one that when they rotate around one another they create -- >> sandra: holy cow. >> it's very dense topic pun intended. >> sandra: the emoji with the brain light. >> the canadian hydrogen matching experiment. it's chime for short. >> sandra: bill gates order -- we're not doing that story i'm told. we're out of time. >> he is not doing the mega yacht. he is trying to listen to the alien radio signals. >> sandra: i love that story. >> when stuff like this happens it's fun. science community gets to come together and talk about the different things happening and not rule out whether or not it's aliens. but again only a few have been traced back. but as we were talking about off the top there 500 million

light years is a long ways away. anything that we've been taught, there is an infinite universe that goes on forever. perhaps out there they're trying to send us a signal and tell us how the oscars go. >> sandra: we expect to hear from the president set to talk about the economy with a group of governors there. we'll have that for you when it happens. we'll bring it to you. stay with us. a brand-new hour coming up. i wanted my hepatitis c gone.

i put off treating mine. epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. whatever your type, epclusa could be your kind of cure. i just found out about mine. i knew for years epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. i had no symptoms of hepatitis c mine caused liver damage. epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or... ...kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions... ...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects include headache and tiredness. ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure.

>> ed: fox news alert of the coronavirus epidemic worsening overnight. supplies start to run out in china. a team from the world health organization is on the way. >> sandra: 40,000 confirmed cases worldwide. 910 people have died surpassing the sars epidemic. there are 12 confirmed cases here at home. >> ed: the deadly virus infecting 65 new passenger on a cruise ship in japan. couple from florida stuck on that ship still healthy waiting for their ordeal to end. >> it's a pretty posh prison but let's make it clear, we can't take one step out of the door without permission from the captain to go on deck, which we aren't doing. we are high-risk category. 75 and 77. so it's the older people who have been getting the sickest and dying. >> sandra: there are 135

patients sick among the nearly 4,000 people on that diamond princess cruise ship. >> ed: we're also awaiting this hour new comments by the president before he heads out to new hampshire for a rally just hours before its first in the nation primary. welcome back to "america's newsroom." brand-new hour. i'm ed henry. >> sandra: i'm sandra smith. president trump set to speak at the white house now. off to new hampshire where he will want to shake up the democrats with a big rally there tonight. chris sununu was on america's newsroom a short time ago, the governor of the state. >> when you look at the success he has had for the economy. as we all know that creates opportunity for families, income opportunity, better quality of life. all these things. those are a lot of his successes and he can and should take a little bit of a march on that because the country is doing very, very well. never mind the negativity out

of washington >> sandra: john roberts is live with more. hey, john, good morning. brand-new week. >> getting revved up and ready to go. good morning. all the focus in new hampshire is on the political contest among the democrats. but the president going there today with the aim to suck oxygen out of a room in a place that will likely dwarf the size of anything the democrats are putting on today. an arena that seats nearly 12,000 people. the president tweeting we'll be in manchester, new hampshire for a big rally. want to shake up the dems a little bit. they have a really boring deal going on. waiting for the iowa results. votes were fried. big crowds in manchester. certainly got the big crowds in manchester part right. kellyanne conway earlier today on the size of the crowd and what the president is likely to talk about. >> i think the president going there and having a crowd that no democrat who is running for

president against him could possibly roll in, i would think that he would talk a little bit about or at least little bit about what happened last week. why is president trump the only person in this town who is supposed to stand tall and move on when for three plus years they have wasted their time and your money? >> the president will likely talk a little bit about what happened over the past three years when it comes to the democrats investigating and the president believes attacking him but he also will be looking to the future today as he is releasing the fiscal year 21 budget including 4.8 trillion dollars in new spending. it aims to reduce the deficit by 4.6 trillion over the next decade but still running trillion dollar deficits for probably the next eight to nine years. it does plan or aim at least to balance the budget within 15 years and includes $2 billion for a border wall.

up until now they have been replacing barrier. $1 trillion new infrastructure. reforms to medicare, $130 billion in savings and reforms to welfare and student loan and increases defense spending to $741 billion. it's not out and the democrats are already critical about it. nancy pelosi saying the budget is a statement of values and the president is showing how little he values the well-being of hard working americans. we'll hear from the president soon. he has a business session with some of the nation's governors at the white house. a lot of chatter about a big housecleaning at the national security council over the next few days. we'll keep an eye on that and we'll tell you what we can as soon as we hear. >> sandra: we know you will john roberts at the white house. thank you. >> ed: meanwhile the 2020 democrats full swing in new hampshire making their last pitches in the final hours to

voters ahead of that high stakes primary as the top tier candidates start to go a bit negative. brit hume joins us live. good morning. great to have you this morning. as we kick off this week and you said yesterday on our election special that you think the bernie sanders campaign is eventually -- sort of running on a conspiracy theory. the idea there is a conspiracy theory behind it and not sure it's good politics. >> i was -- time and again he is talking about the nation's billion air class is running the country with an exorbitant amount of power. i think it's questionable whether that's really true. consider other part of the party's of the electorate he is appealing. i think in the long run people won't accept that. >> ed: short term he may be the frontrunner when you look at

the poll. bernie widens the lead 27%. buttigieg at 19%. interesting klobuchar 14, warren 12, biden 12. we'll get to warren and biden in a moment. talk about klobuchar. a lot of money came in over the weekend and got a bounce in the polls. >> i would say this. you have a big chunk of undecided voters. the history of this primary has been when you have that, there will be a late rush to one candidate or another. a sudden upsurge. i've seen it happen more than once. it happened when i was here in walter mondale. gary hart came out of nowhere to beat him in the primary. mondale was the unquestioned frontrunner until that moment. we don't know whether amy klobuchar can attract the bulk of the undecided support. it would be a huge boost for her and the upset story. new hampshire helps to win. if you beat expectations in a

major way, that -- you come out with kind of a win. bill clinton did that. mccarthy did that in 1968. he didn't beat lyndon johnson in the primary but made a strong showing but johnson eventually withdrew from the race. if klobuchar is that person and can do that she would get a huge boost. >> ed: the flip side is not doing well in new hampshire and coming in below expectations. if joe biden finishes fourth or fifth how does he continue to make the case on electability that he is the most likely person to beat donald trump? >> i think it would be extremely difficult for him, ed. i think he shows support in south carolina but these results from the early couple states the end to slingshot their way affecting the later states. now, south carolina to some extent because it's regional and different from the early states is immune from that

effect. if he does that badly here as fourth or something like that, what will happen probably is money will start to dry up. you can't campaign without it. support will begin to ebb away. what the party is looking for is an alternative, a strong so-called moderate alternative to bernie sanders. it looked for the longest time like biden would be that alternative. if it looks like it is not it will be a mad scramble and all kinds of people will be in it including pete buttigieg looking in second place here. >> ed: absolutely. biden punching at buttigieg. suggesting biden was taking on big initiatives while buttigieg was handling small mayoral issues. he is no barack obama. here is pete buttigieg with christ -- chris wallace. >> he is right.

i'm not. this is 2020, not 2008. this is how to turn a page and deliver a better future in the country. making sure we carry those voices to the capitol instead of thinking the answers are somehow going to come from washington >> ed: he seemed to turn it on biden and maybe the experience question and stressing that may backfire on biden at a time when people are calling for change. >> that ad you mentioned was a tough ad and a clever ad grossly exaggerated biden's role in all the obama achievements and buttigieg -- he turned it around deftly. there is a stature issue because he is so young and mayor of a small town. he is a talented politician. the most talented i've seen in

the party since barack obama. >> ed: what about warren? she finishes third in iowa. there were high expectations for her no doubt. now she is from neighboring massachusetts to new hampshire. like biden they are duking it out for fourth or five now. where is her campaign? >> she is in real trouble and a bad showing would be the beginning of the end for her because to some extent she is looking for the same voters bernie sanders has. sanders support is strong and locked in. hard to see her making too many inroads with them. i don't think that people would look at her as an alternative to sanders as the alternative to biden or any of the others because she is not considered a moderate. and that's the other lane that seems to be the one people are jockeying for. sanders has the left lane to himself at the moment. and everybody else is looking

for the center left lane and it doesn't look to me like she is in a very good position to take the lead or establish herself in that particular part of the field. >> ed: absolutely. brit hume. appreciate your insight. see you tomorrow. in the meantime sandra and i will be heading to new hampshire to bring you all the doefts live when we broadcast "america's newsroom" from new hampshire. >> sandra: get a sense of where biden's supporters are as we head into the tomorrow. after the chaos in iowa democrats could be headed for a contested convention. the impact on president trump's campaign if that were to happen. >> ed: we're learning more about two american soldiers killed in afghanistan in an apparent insider attack. what was behind the attack and how will this affect our relationship with afghanistan moving forward? >> president trump: our message to the terrorists is clear. you will never escape american justice. if you attack our citizens, you

>> ed: the suspect in the attempted assassination of two new york city police officers will be in court this afternoon. >> sandra: police say he opened fire inside a precinct and an ambush of officers in the bronx. >> ed: both police officers expected to recover from their injuries. >> sandra: fox news alert now in eastern afghanistan where two u.s. army special forces soldiers were killed and six wounded in a shoot-out with a man dressed in an afghan army uniform. retired four star general jack

keane, a strategic analyst for fox news. thank you for being here. first off what can you tell us -- what more can you tell us what we're learning was behind this attack? >> i think first of all it tells you about the seriousness of the taliban who are in negotiations with the united states. when we have these kinds of killings still taking place and what they have told their tactical commanders and we know this for a fact, ever since the negotiations were broken off as a result of a killing of a u.s. soldier at the time when president trump terminated those negotiations a number of months ago, the tactical commanders have received orders to do everything they possibly can to increase the casualties to americans. this is designed principally to break american will at home to suggest the war is futile and therefore we should just walk away. >> sandra: the lieutenant

colonel with the heritage foundation published a piece and said the afghanistan attack. the afghan people may be tired of war but no desire to see the taliban return nor wish to see their country become a haven for terrorists or platform for trans national terrorism aimed at the rest of the world. so what -- how does this affect our relationship with afghanistan? >> first of all, our viewers should understand that afghanistan remains a vital u.s. national interest. why is that? because we have been there for 18 years preventing another 9/11 attack on the united states. afghanistan in that region of the world is the epicenter for half of the radical islamists in the world. we know for a fact this is not disputeable, that a safe haven would be established in afghanistan by the al qaeda if given the opportunity. isis also is growing there. both of them have aspirations

to attack the united states or europe. that's why nato is there with us. so that's the mission. has it taken too long to stabilize afghanistan? you bet it has. are there reasons for that and policy failures that contributed to that? you bet. but it still remains in the interest of the united states and the security of the american people to keep forces there tied to the 300,000 afghan security forces that are fighting the taliban. >> sandra: the u.s. military going back to the attack has not called the incident an insider attack because the motive is still unclear. investigation is ongoing. they're saying it was not one of the soldiers on the patrol. but when you go to the fact that these attacks have been frequent occurrences, what is the same and different about this specific attack and what does it tell you about the future of afghanistan?

>> our viewers should understand the people of afghanistan have rejected the taliban over 80% of the people never want the taliban to come back in control. it is the most unpopular insurgency in human history. the people of afghanistan clearly want a better government than what they have in terms of its effectiveness but they're voting for that government. the issue before us here with this particular incident is clearly that the taliban have the ability to recruit afghan soldiers or to insert themselves as afghan soldiers the undermine the morale of american troops and afghan security forces when they weaponize a particular soldier like this to kill us. that has not deterred the afghan security forces and it has not deterred us from continuing to work on the mission and protect the american people. >> sandra: finally when it comes to the next move of the trump administration here still weighing the decision to remove

up to 4,000 u.s. troops from afghanistan, currently 12,000 u.s. troops still deployed there, what do you hope to see is the next move by this administration? >> well, i think there may be some negotiations taking place with the taliban who i do not trust. they'll say anything to get a negotiated settlement. that may be coming closer to reality. i know for a fact that the unseen commander scotty miller in afghanistan for more than a year has worked on reduction of our forces not driven by negotiation but driven by the fact he doesn't believe he needs them there to carry out the mission that has been assigned to him. so i do think a reduction of our forces to something around 8500 to 8600 is coming soon. that's based on the assessment of general miller and also it will reflect a continued commitment to the afghan security forces in trying to help them in their fight against the taliban. >> sandra: our thoughts to the

families of those two u.s. soldiers, both 28 years old gone too soon. thank you for coming on this morning. >> i certainly agree with your sentiments, sandra, our hearts go out to them. >> sandra: thank you, general. >> >> ed: fox news alert. a number of cases of coronavirus continue to rise in china. >> sandra: and here at home polls open in new hampshire less than 24 hours from now. president trump planning to make his presence felt in the granite state as well. what he plans on doing tonight. democratic congressman max rose will be here to weigh in. stay tuned. >> i think the president going there and having a crowd that no democrat who is running for president against him could possibly roll in. one call to newday usa can save you $2,000 every year. and once you refinance, the savings are automatic.

remain in china. who officials are concerned about new reports out of europe of small clusters of people with no travel history to china who became infected by a british businessman who caught the virus in singapore. >> the detection of this small number of cases could be the spark that becomes a bigger fire. but for now it's only a spark. our objective remains containment. >> although know one has died inside the u.s. the first american fatality was reported in china. a 60-year-old patient who died at a hospital in wuhan, the city at the epicenter of the outbreak. crews have started spraying disinfect ant twice daily at hospitals, markets and public areas. in japan most of the 3700 passengers and crew aboard the ship with 400 americans remain

quarantined in state rooms until february 19. the 14-day quarantine period starts all over again for anyone with close contact with an infected person. japanese media reports 135 people have now tested positive on that vessel. health authorities say they're considering testing everyone on board instead of just those showing symptoms. anthem of the seas cruise ship is scheduled to leave the u.s. all four passengers there tested negative. three passengers who shared the same cabin developed symptoms but turns out they only have the flu. a fourth passenger unrelated to those three with no symptoms was tested because of recent travel to china. >> sandra: thank you. >> ed: new hampshire democrats on edge ahead of tomorrow's primary after the chaos in iowa. the party under pressure to

find a candidate to beat president trump in november. the president istaking the fight straight to democrats holding a rally tonight in manchester, new hampshire. joining me live new york democrat congressman max rose. thank you for coming in. i don't want to get you switching parties. we have an op-ed, liz pique says polling is clear. support tore trump is rising to record highs and approval for opponents is heading south. also their candidates voice extreme positions on so many issues. she is pointing in particular to you have a frontrunner now a socialist democrat. >> sure. so thank you so much for having me on. polls go up and then they go down. this is certainly a never-ending cycle. here is what i will say. in 2018, the democrats flipped 41 seats running on

infrastructure, healthcare prices and anti-corruption and earning back the trust of voters with service-driven, service-proven candidates. only the democratic party establishment would look at a record of 41-0 and say nope, i don't want to do that. i'll try something different and engage in a race to the far left. it has certainly been the wrong way to go. it is something i disagree with and one of the reasons why i am a supporter of mike bloomberg. >> ed: i want to get to your support of him. let me ask you, you are talking about the party going too far left. you are somebody who a few months ago we know here we've had you on before wrote an op-ed piece making the case against impeachment and then you and the rest of the house democrats went all in and impeached the president. so didn't you also take your eye off the ball, focus on impeachment instead of what you said, prescription drugs? >> absolutely not. nothing should come before one's oath to the constitution

and one's values. i am not a poll-driven candidate but what i am, i'm not a poll-driven politician but i am someone who does what i believe is right looking at the facts. i do believe it was correct to hold the president accountable. but with that being said, i am also a firm believer in getting things done. just this year in my district we're constructing one of the largest resiliency projects in the country. we placed sanctions on chinese producers of fentanyl that is killing our kids. victims compensation fund a $30 billion effort to be there for 9/11 first responders. so you and i won't agree on everything. no one agrees on everything. but whether the american people right now are unified -- unified around the idea that we have to in a bipartisan manner get something done around healthcare, infrastructure, anti-corruption and certainly

trying to end our never-ending wars as well. >> ed: so did your speaker, nancy pelosi, move closer to working with the president on infrastructure and other matter whes she ripped up the speech behind him? >> it takes two to tango, okay? i have really zero interest and i'm sure many of your viewers have zero interest in relitigating childish behavior on either side of the aisle. but i myself and i can speak for myself right now, okay, i remain eager and ready, and i am working with both sides of the aisle to get things done around there. we cannot, though. we can't just have people talking a good song and dance during election season saying they're ready to do infrastructure and ready to do healthcare and then ignoring those promises. that's been a problem on both sides of the aisle. you don't think the democratic party for generations spoke to unions promised all types of things and never dit.

the republican party is guilty of that as well. let's put those days behind us and get to work. >> ed: i promised to get to your endorsement of michael bloomberg. the potential for a brokered convention among democrats. they quote a former new hampshire democratic party chair saying it's possible, quite possible for a brokered convention. bloomberg entering into this provides a possibility of a brokered convention. much better if we had a candidate win enough delegates go sboong the convention but i'm confident we'll have a candidate coming out of it who can defeat trump? >> i'm not a pundit, i don't know if i'd be a good one. we have a long primary road ahead. i stand by the fact that mike bloomberg is the best candidate. i think back to 9/11, i was in new york. i'm not sure if you were.

not just that incredible tragedy but the days and months immediately afterwards where we were so scared and we didn't know if our great city would ever get back to where it was let alone be prepared for the future. and mike bloomberg, because of his leadership and the extraordinary team he built when he assumed office put new york city on a footing to be a global powerhouse of the 21st century. america is at a similar crossroad and i believe mike is the guy for the job. >> ed: super tuesday he will have a shot to get in with some of his ads. thank you for coming in today. >> thank you for having me. >> sandra: in case you missed it "saturday night live" took aim at friday night's democratic debate in a skit watch this. >> now it's up to new hampshire to turn things around for the democrats. let's meet our future msnbc contributors.

>> sandra: it is that time of day where we go beyond the headlines where we take a break from the fast-moving news cycle needed on this monday morning. today we're focusing on "saturday night live"'s take on the democratic debate where the show skewered the candidates while taking on the disaster in iowa. former snl star and comedy legend joe piscapo. good morning to you. >> thank you. they all came in here and they're watching today, corporate. >> ed: legend? >> sandra: legendary joe piscapo. let's tee it up on the skit from snl saturday night. let's watch. >> may or pete, you initially

claimed victory in iowa and senator sanders claimed victory a few days later leading to major infighting. who do you think really won? >> donald trump. [laughter] >> i mean out of the democrats? >> oh, oh, then i guess me. >> it was great. i said from day one early on where i talked to maria bartiromo. we chat about it. fox business, they just have to be funny. they have the capacity better do it but anybody. it's okay to make fun of the left as well as the right. i came up with larry. he was a comic genius. when he does bernie sanders it was hysterical. he was fired early on but he was brilliant. to see them do elizabeth warren and have fun with it.

it's okay to have fun with it and laugh with them. it was great. >> sandra: did you watch the oscars last night? stayed up late sf >> i did. you know what? first of all this is the caveat. watch me be diplomatic. because the hardest work of all is done in hollywood. they get up at all hours of the night. i just want to say it's so hard to make a movie. it is hard -- there is no safety net. everybody watching you and so i appreciate all the work that they've done. but i don't get the performance, they did a great performance. >> sandra: they spend a lot of time patting themselves on the bank. if you stayed up for the performance. martin scorsese could not stay awake for eminem's surprise performance. camera kept panning back to him. he did fall asleep and -- >> i thought bobby deniro would

get upset saying we have to whack them. we have to take care of them. it was my favorite moment. but that was my favorite moment. what was eminem doing that brilliant as he is? i didn't understand it. >> sandra: the music from 2003. >> brad pitt was so great. if you saw once upon a time in hollywood. classic performance. he was a movie star of movie stars and he has to make a john bolton joke? >> sandra: here is his political moment in that speech. >> don't do it. >> i was really disappointed with this week and i think when gamesmanship trump is doing the right thing is a sad day. i don't think we should let it slide and i'm very serious about that. >> did he just say donald trump is doing the right thing? >> sandra: there is confusion over what his message was. he made a comment about the lack of john bolton, his

testimony. >> if you look like brad pitt don't even attempt politics. jay leno said politics is show business for ugly people. no reason for brad pitt to go there. >> sandra: some people said there is such a star in the new film. >> he is terrific. i wanted leo dicaprio to win. then joaquin phoenix. i thought i was in therapy when i watched his speech. i like the uncomfortable moments. they work so hard. you have to give them -- it's a lot to do that. not to take that away. >> sandra: you are very understanding of that industry clearly. >> i'm not even on the wait list in hollywood. >> sandra: we roll out the red carpet for you. nice to have you here. ed, back to you. >> ed: new yorkers banned from global entry programs. a legal battle is brewing.

the reason for the trump administration's decision and whether it will hold up in court. that's next. >> this has nothing to do with illegal aliens receiving driver's license and nothing to do with the sanctuary policies of new york. they're dangerous but it has nothing to do with what is occurring now. end a lot of time in my truck. it's my livelihood. ♪ rock music >> man: so i'm not taking any chances when something happens to it. so when my windshield cracked... my friend recommended safelite autoglass. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. >> tech: oh, no problem. >> tech: check it out. >> man: yeah. they came right to me, with expert service where i needed it. that's service i can trust... no matter what i'm hauling. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ i need all the breaks as athat i can get.or, at liberty butchemel... cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need.

>> ed: cuomo will sue the trump administration about global entry after new york passed a state law allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses. let's bring in judge andrew napolitano. a fox news senior judicial analyst and host of fox nation's liberty file. good morning. the feds say we can't get access to new york state driving records so we don't know if we can keep people safe. does it hold up? >> i don't think so. there are two parts of the state law. one is undocumented aliens can get driver's licenses. nobody that works for the state can share people's driver's licenses with the feds no matter what they want it for. subpoena or search war aren't is the exception. the feds are saying we can't check people's driving records can't put them into global entry. it lets you get to the head of the line when you arrive from a foreign country, jfk. you don't have to have a driver's license in order to

apply for global entry. so i think that this is the feds trying to poke governor cuomo in the ribs. i think he will prevail when he files a federal lawsuit. >> ed: he says banning new yorkers from the trusted travel program is a politically motivated form of extortion. hurting new yorkers to advance the trump administration's political agenda. we'll fight back. chad wolfe is the acting dhs secretary of homeland security. >> new york is the only state that restricts cbp access to their dmv data across the board for law enforcement and immigration purposes and customs purposes. also for trade and travel facilitation purposes. the only state which is precisely why we took the action that we did. >> he is right. new jersey is not a sanctuary state for better or worse. new jersey now gives driver's licenses to undocumented but doesn't bar state officials

from sharing driving information with the feds. the question is why do they need driving information in order to decide whether or not you can get to the head of the line? what about people in new york that don't have driver's licenses? >> ed: we have no record of them. >> this will be worked out either by allowing you to opt out, allowing you to say to the state yeah, share my driving record with the feds. i have nothing there. i want to keep my global access or by saying to the feds you have to find another way to investigate people. the ability to drive well has nothing to do with whether or not you get to the head of the line when you land at jfk. >> ed: he is saying it is not just about immigration and driving, it is about access to driving records that tie into law enforcement. >> so i'm glad he said that. that's where i disagree with him. the state cannot keep federal access from criminal records. ist can only keep federal access from state driving records.

state criminal records and federal criminal records the feds can access with a computer. >> ed: where does this end up? >> either with pressure on governor cuomo to allow people like you or me living in new york to say i don't care if you share my driving record with the feds. i want to keep my global access or with a federal judge en joining this new rule until something is worked out. that's probably what will happen. there are too many innocent people who have no stake in this being punished by this decision by the feds. they will lose their global access through no fault of their own. >> ed: thank you. we'll follow you. >> sandra: just a moment from now, judge. the countdown is on for the new hampshire primary tomorrow. up next we'll speak to some former republican voters who switched parties. who will they vote for in tomorrow's primary? we'll have that next.
