♪ emily: good morning. pete: good morning everybody. should have been there indeed. thanks for joining us on this beautiful sunday morning. we're playing d.j. as we do every saturday and sunday on "fox & friends." emily, griff are here. griff: how are you? pete: i am tired. went to princeton basketball game.

they won. watched the nba dung contest. we stayed up too late it watch it. we watched the after show. emily: like nascar. the president airing a great ad. so many exciting things this morning you will be awake in no time. griff: did you know that michael bloomberg is surging is thinking about possibly according to a rumor picking hillary clinton as his running mate. pete: that can't be real. is that a real headline? we. griff: we were all very stunned, "drudge report" headline came it. bloomberg considering hillary clinton as vice president. we got a reaction quickly from the bloomberg campaign. the communications director said this, simply, we're focused own the primary and the debate not vice president speculation. pete: that is not an answer.

emily: hillary herself, for a long time she has been downplaying, name the vice president. did an interview with ellen and did an interview with "variety." she had an urge. she has been teasing people that xi is considering it. here is what she said to ellen. >> if someone asked you to be vice president would you do it. >> that is not going to happen. no. >> you don't know that is not going to happen. >> i think i do. i think i do. >> what if they did? >> look, like, when barack obama asked me to be secretary of state, i was shocked. i had no idea he was going to ask me. and i turned him down twice. i never say never i believe in serving my country you about it is not going to happen. emily: what do you guys make about that? pete: not going to happen probably. are we really going to do this

again? if hillary clinton, she has been the center of the resistance. she ran against donald trump in 2016. we all had to go through that. no one has been wanting an opportunity to get back at donald trump than hillary clinton. no one running for president wants to have her a party to the ticket. if there is one thing mike bloomberg has done, they have poll tested everything. that is what his campaign is based on. i have more money than you. i have more staff than you. i run who are tv ads than you. every thing is poll tested with independents in the states. they see something in the data that hillary clinton would be an addition to the ticket. here is the problem how bernie sanders and his people now how burned they were by hillary clinton. do they want to shut off their own base by the woman they believed shut them down in rigged process. it is fraught with problems. we speculate about possibilities. i just, i guess it is a

possibility. but man, do you want to did that. griff: what do you make about the timing of this very devastating "washington post" rather kel laid out years of allegation of women within the bloomberg empire? here is the headline, mike bloomberg for years has battled allegations of profane, sexist comment? emily: interesting early juncture could be perceived as an antidote of that. there is published booklet he ran a company, 34 pages of comments. a lot of allegations, lawsuits. rumors people want it get out of the northern disclosures. bloomberg said, asked an answered. dealt with this every time i run for election. i have to point out there is rumors potentially he looking to change residency to colorado or florida. generally accepted can't have two on the same ticket from the

staple state. clinton has the residence in new york state also. as we sleuth our way you there the morning that is a -- griff: make no mistake, if you look at polls, bloomberg is rising. let me show you the "real clear politics" national average we're always looking at, right? sanders on top. 23.6. bloomberg 14.2. warren, buttigieg, bloomberg closing in on biden, rising above warren and buttigieg at a time he may, bloomberg may have dealt previously with these allegations and said that prayed women for helping build his empire, an endorsement from hillary clinton with certainly go a long way to help that repeat pete with some, maybe. he was at ear row percent two months ago? elizabeth warren has been running for president three or four years now. certain certain had revolution

failed for the last six years. if someone drops millions in to get 14 points in the "real clear politics" average. that is what people are frustrated about. he ran a successful wall street culture. a lot of these comments of course are true. more are more than misogynistic. one woman alleged he was pregnant, he said if you are pregnant he should kill it. this is the allegation. i don't want more women out of maternity leave. these are allegations. he denies them. we understand that that. more of this will come out. i would pick hillary clinton to offset problems he might have. griff: if you want any evidence you are doing something right listen it your opponents in sanders and warren and others going after bloomberg. listen to this. >> democracy is not candidates

going to the homes of billionaires raying money. >> i don't think we have a better chance beating donald trump by putting out the billionaire against him. >> mayor bloomberg, with all his money will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turn out we must have it defeat donald trump. >> billionaire wants to run for president on the democratic ticket, that's fine. just don't use your own money to do it. pete: of course he is going to use his own money. those are two terrified candidates. i think elizabeth warren especially. heshe is basically done. bernie is realizes that second shot could be undercut by a former republican. apologized for every policy he has. standing on a box, don't have his own policy positions. he poll tested it all. you spend a lot of money --

griff: 188.5 million in quarter four. pete: double that. griff: take some of that bill do his own nascar like the bloomberg car around race the trump car. emily: speaking of nascar, trump will make history at the daytona 500. he will serve as grand marshal and, just before the race a new trump campaign ad called new heights will air. >> america is great. better than ever. under president trump's leadership we are racing to new heights. millions of new jobs, rising wages, record low unemployment, securing our border, protecting our country and respecting our veterans. most of all, we are proud to be americans, proud of our country, our families and our flag. god bless america. and the best is yet it come. >> i'm donald j. trump and i approved this message.

pete: will there be a bloomberg car? griff: he had one, tesla, battery on operated, zero emissions, first electric car to win nascar ever. pete: little car to move it along. emily: an air he is spending his money is an influencer. maybe he pays somebody -- pete: he is paying young people to try to make him look cool. this is truly the test whether or not, they say he is the 12th richest man in the world. can quite literally spend his own money to make himself look cool enough to make himself the president of the united states inside after dysfunctional party that is about to nominate a socialist that is the best thing about him. he would never go to a nascar race. that is unwashed masses. griff: rick reichmuth in daytona. i'm jealous of this. i know you're jealous, emily. he will talk to austin dillon,

eric jones. and cole discusser on the screen. emily: i love being on the couch, listening to rick and all this, you at home are able to watch the daytona 500 on fox 2:30 p.m. eastern. don't forget about president trump's ad that runs beforehand. turninging to the headlines, we start with a fox news alert. 46 americans on a crew reportedly tested virus for a coronavirus. they're monitored at a japanese hospital that 400 americans are quarantined on the ship. they have to decide whether it fly home on a u.s. chartered plane scheduled to take off it night. they are quarantined more on military bases for one more month in hopes of stopping the deadly virus spreading. there are more than 60,000 cases in mainland china. police arrested the 14-year-old at his home in

new york city after he was indicted by a grand jury. prosecutors say his dna matched samples underneath it. e is ssa's fingernails. she was stabbed to death during a botched robbery in a new york city park last year. the nba renamed the all-star mvp award after kobe bryant. kobe bryant all-star mvp trophy will be presented first time at the all-star game. he was a four-time mvp. he was selected for the all-star team 18 times. dwight howard paid tribute to kobe. recreating his superman dung with kobe's jer number 24. derek jones taking the slam dunk title beating aaron gordon by a single point. many thought gordon would win after dunking over taco fall who

stand, seven foot five. >> he is seven five. >> you dung over taco you win. man this is easy. oh. emily: giving him 47 out of 50, stunning the crowd. pete: why i am so tired. he lost on that dung. you know what it takes to jump over a 7'5" human being? he will beat devin booker. this dung contest, derek jones of miami. second time aaron gordon has kind of been -- emily: passed over petition pete passed over, incorrectly beaten. such a subjective judging process. griff: if you were the judge -- pete: i'm six feet tall, you go another foot you can't see me, you go another foot you jumped over that guy and he lost. griff: the dungs these guys can

make, i was watching with my boys, nine and seven. i made him jump. they can jump like this. i'm saying stick with the 3-point contest. the dung contest will not be your future. athletes with they can do behind their back, over their head, watch the highlights. aaron gordon, he got jobbed. griff: clearly more on that. a lot of important news we have to get to. a 92-year-old woman murdered. police say a illegal immigrant is responsibility. her granddaughter has a message about the policies that she says could have prevented her grandmother's death. she joins us coming up. >> the tragedy in all of this, the fact this could have been avoided. the system not only failed our family but it failed our city. it's time for the ultimate sleep number event on the sleep number 360 smart bed.

griff: is we her? reports indicate 2020 hopeful may consider yes, hillary clinton as potential running mate. emily: this as the billionaire continues to surge in the polls with the latest average putting him in third place nationally behind sanders and biden. pete: here to discuss, media reporter for "the hill" joe concha. thanks for being here. say it ain't true, joe. do you believe these reports. >> i don't know why michael bloomberg would go down this road, right? came from drudge. we don't know exactly what the sources are behind it. think about this for a moment. last poll about hillary clinton, 36% likability that was in gallup. so a third of the country only likes her. if she is supposed it be going on the campaign because she can win over people in key states, last i checked in the 2016 election, she lost wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. first democrat to do that since the 1980 as. what value does she bring? they're both from new york. what is she bringing to the ticket? she is poll rising, she is

divisive. she has been on a public therapy tour the last three years complaining about why she lost a race she shouldn't have lost. emily: those that argue that she might offset the allegations surfaced about bloomberg's past, allegations about the women and the like, why should her attachment matter, why should she overcome that with him? >> she we look awfully critical with him. given what happened to her husband and going to the bloomberg campaign? bloomberg general election trump the comments about women are a wash. "access hollywood" that is that and we move on. i have a hard time he will get the nomination. you're telling me that the guy they hate in the white house, the white billionaire, businessman from new york, you're going to counter that, the woke party by nominating the white billionaire businessman from new york? the left side of the party with aoc, they will hate a michael bloomberg being their nominee. they will not come out.

pete: that is a real problem. if you have 10 or 15% of your base rejecting your nominee out right, a billion or two billion talks. that is what they're up against. he is a billionaire. there is business around the world. more accusations that bloomberg's companies, he himself very close with china. the president stared down china, communist china. is bloomberg too close to china? >> completely. that play into president trump's strength. the usmca deal, phase one of the china deal no one thought he would get done. here is what bloomberg said about xi xinping. communist party wants to stay in power. when the public says i can't breathe the air. xi xinping is not a dictator. he has to satisfy his constituents or he is not going it survive. he has many business dealings in china. he is not divested himself from his own business. meanwhile "bloomberg news" from media perspective, they're on orders you are not to report any negative news on michael

bloomberg or any democrats. if any opo research comes on president trump they're a news organization again. it is amazing. he got the endorsement of sam donaldson, formerly of abc news, white house correspondent. that is no-no. pete: just endorsing each other. >> he was acosta of his time, pompous, biased. sam donaldson was a trailblazer if you think about it. pete: more on bloomberg. china, everything else. this is the tip of the iceberg. >> when he wins, scrutiny comes, that comes over time. pete: joe, appreciate it. a 92-year-old woman murdered. police say a illegal immigrant is responsible. her granddaughter has a message about the policies that she says could have prevent her grandmother's death. she joins us next. >> the tragedy all of this could have been avoided. the system not only failed our family but it failed our city.

blaming new york city's policies for her tragic death. >> she is shining example of when people come legally to this country. the tragedy in all of this could have been avoided had there not been a sanctuary law. the system not only failed our family but our family. griff: maria ortiz joins us here. >> thank you for having me. griff: emotional word, condolences everyone in the nation, condolences to you. >> thank you. griff: your grandmother, this horrific tragic thing could have been prevented if not for sanctuary cities. >> absolutely. griff: what message would you like to send to bill de blasio. >> my message to him is, i'm not against immigration just illegal immigration. i think he should do something about this because this could have been avoided had there not been a sanctuary law. this man would have been

departed a long time ago. and my grandma would still be here today. bill de blasio the mayor and new york city should be held responsible because they allowed the mayor it pass this law. griff: daria, you said your family's hope is the her death is not in vain and preventative measures would be put in place. one of the things president trump was talking about at that event. watch. >> not one more life stolen by sanctuary cities. they're all over the place and a lot of people don't want them. politicians want them for whatever reason. that is why we're calling on congress to pass legislation giving american victims the right to sue sanctuary cities and hold them accountable for the suffering and the damages that they have caused. griff: daria, your rhee action to the president there? >> my reaction, i agree with him completely.

something should be done about this at the end of the day you about it hads home when it happens to you directly. i think, maybe that is the problem. you know what they were trying to do was a good thing but i think it was trial and tribulation. they should definitely look into other methods trying to help illegal immigrants. it should not affect our citizens. we should feel safe, you know, first in we should be the priority. griff: i want you to honor your grandmother. tell me about maria? >> oh. so my grandmother was very sweet. she, she was always happy, you know. she loved to give. she loved to take care of like stray animals, the homeless people. she was very giving. she is even lent her own house to some people, if they had nowhere to live or sleep. she help ad lot of people. that is the one thing. i know everybody can say about her. and me personally, as a grand mother she has always been there

for me because my father died when i was five years old. so she has definitely been there for me in many ways other than just a grandmother. she will be there when i called her for help. griff: i read she was a secretary it a former dominican president, around leaders. what would she say if she were here today? >> if she were here today she would want justice. she would not be angry. she would just want something to be done about it. to find a resolution moving forward so this could not happen, at least minute my the chances of this happening to someone else. griff: daria, from the los angeles mayor he basically says that the sanctuary cities protect the immigrant community and that by not having sanctuary cities, it would make the community less safe because immigrants would be more afraid to report crimes. do you agree. >> i think it's not a yes or really no answer. i think it's good for them to

feel safe but since this is america, america peace priority should be to keeping citizens safe first. so they can't make illegal immigrants feel safe and at the same time make their own citizens unsafe. what happens with the sanctuary law, the immigrants are allowed to stay here even after they have committed a offense or crime. in this situation, the case with my grandmother, this man, three month prior had attacked his own father and he was releasessed because i.c.e. sent a detainer request to the nypd which they denied, which legally they had the right to because of mayor de blasio passing sanctuary law. had this been in place they would be able to detain him. almost if the police are not allowed to do their jobs. griff: who failed your family? was it i.c.e.? was it new york police? >> i want to say, new york place, they have to do the orders that they're given. i want to say, me and my family

feel mayor de blasio is accountable and the city of new york for allowing him to put forth this law, that kind of contradicts our constitution. you know, americans should be safe and they should, if people want it come here, because they're fearful of their countries they can't now come to our country and make us fearful also. so they have to find a better way. i'm not against immigration but illegal immigration is what the problem here is. griff: thank you for coming and sharing that here. having the courage. our thoughts and prayers with you and your family. we hope that your grandmother's legacy will be something was done so that others won't have to have this happen. thank you. daria order tease. >> thank you. griff: joe biden making sudden admission about obama's actions against the border. >> you said during the obama-biden administration, i quote. we didn't look people in cages. you actually did. >> all unaccompanied children coming across the border, we

trying to push it through. you know they all have this same problem. you've been talking this morning about michael bloomberg, you know, he is pushing the trial balloon of hillary clinton. well i think now we can see today that "the washington post" was preparing this story, putting together all of his misogynist past and the lawsuits against him by the working who worked for him. he was trying to get out ahead of that you know, by being a guy who is willing to consider a woman, even if it is hillary clinton as his running mate. they all have this problem. bernie sanders supported the second amendment in vermont years back. elizabeth warren has the big problem with the, you know, being a ethnic fraud basically and a house flipper in oklahoma. they're all trying to get beyond their unwoke past. emily: i wanted to get your thoughts on this. as the klobuchar surge is happening, elizabeth warren is stumbling. she promised to fight back

however after her dismal performance in new hampshire. take a listen, howie. >> our democracy hangs in the balance in this election. when you face this kind of fear, do you back up? do you get timid? do you crouch or do you fight back? me, i'm fighting back. emily: howie, what are your quick thoughts on that? >> i think her fear she will lose her own home state of massachusetts on super tuesday. she is desperate. she is blaming the media, emily. this woman has been pandered too by the media. they have written slobbering profiles about her dog. you have to treat me with more respect. why did you cover joe biden's concession speech, not mine? she is on her way out. emily: howie, thank you as always. moving on. cheers to freedom. a veteran owned brewery features

crack down on illegal immigration. joe biden is trying to put his foot in the water. now that he is in a tough spot as a candidate he is doing more interviews, right? that is what you do when you're behind the eight ball. now it is time to talk. we played some of this interview yesterday with jorge ramos. before we get to that he talks about immigration, before we play that clip, this is how joe biden talked about donald trump and his worder policies in the past. listen to this. >> the idea that we're a country that thinks it is okay to lock kid up in cages to talk about people that we do that is the not nation we are. i don't believe we build up hysteria over immigration. no one will not be deported in my administration who hasn't commit committed a felony. get rid of the president's cruel policy locks up people in cages. we didn't look people up in cages, we didn't separate families all those things. emily: he was vice president

undepartner chief. this campaign he hitched his wagon, barak and i, barak and i, has not worked in his favor where he is waivering in his candidacy. he is pandering more with the left. pete: he did this interview with jorge ramos, he pushed him, these cages you accuse donald trump using. we have pictures. what? >> said during the obama administration quote, we didn't lock people in cages. but you actually did. we found a picture after 8-year-old boy from honduras. >> yes. wait. >> in 2014. in a detention center in mcallen, texas. >> all uncompanied children coming across the boarder we tried to get them out, keep them safe, out of detention centers run by homeland security, get them into communities as quickly as we can. >> people would say they're cages. >> look, you know you're not

telling the truth here about the comparison about the two things. pete: i had a problem with that. i went to the rgv, 2014 unaccompanied children crisis happened. a specific border patrol guy came in. he wasn't allowed to go on camera. he built the cages in rio grande valley. that was the ground zero. when we have the same crisis in 2019, they're using same cages. they need to see the children to monitor them. they need to see they're okay. when you have so many people there and it was a humanitarian crisis we've been all through that, it is designed for safety of individual in custody. for biden to say that it is unfair comparison, the same exact facilities are being used in 2019 as were in 2014. they brought in that same official to oversee the 2019

handling of it, to improve it. so if there is any comparison it would be improved but, to say that the crisis in 2014 with unaccompanied children coming was in any way different from the unprecedented number of family unit coming in 2019 is not accurate. jorge ramos, good on him for hitting biden with that. emily: when the photographs came out during this administration, they were actually from the previous administration, right? they went viral. the problem, biggest problem i have with it, if democrats and those on the left really want things to change, then we have to have accuracy and specificity because it is legislation that would need to be crafted. they're hiding the ball and lying about everything. that is ultimately getting them nowhere. the public still has no idea the laws on the books are the same laws and the same things that need work from years before. it is not anything new whatsoever. we are just applying it. pete: you're totally right. this whole thing from joe biden

is such a sham from the beginning. you talk to the folks on the border as you have, if you have kid coming, we don't know if they're being trafficked or actually with people that are their parents you have to separate them for their own safety to figure the out. now you used the phrase, cages, he did do. that is the lexicon. that is meant to mcpeople think we're throwing kid in cages. these are detention facilities where kid are cared for to insure they're safe so they can then be reunited and kept safe. the whole thing is -- just like when joe biden launched the whole campaign about charlottesville. about how donald trump loves white supremacists it was all a lie. all a sham. once you break down reality of it is whole case falls apart. he maid donald trump's case. we separated to keep the kid safe. of course. griff: if he doesn't done digging a hole because he went after president obama for whom he was vice president attacking in some way his own policy. roll that tape.

>> the deportation, most of the people that you deported they didn't have a criminal record. >> i'm not disagreeing with you. >> sew was that wrong? because you haven't, many people are expecting you to apologize for that, to say that, that it was wrong. >> i think it was a big mistake. took too long to get it right but to compare, look, you had the last two administrations deport twice as many people your administration deported more than ever. >> no, no. you had more people deported in the w administration, bush and clinton administration. pete: his first question with the problem, deportations most of the people you deported they didn't have a criminal record. of course they did. they came here illegally. means you're here illegally you can qualify to be deported. in this, in that particular case he wants to now narrow it to felonies which he said openly you about, listen, this is law enforcement.

it is not hard. griff: jorge ramos as tremendous amount of respect in the community. i saw him in numerous trips on the caravan. he was trying to point out, we'll show you right now, number of deportations. biden didn't have that right. obama administration he was a part of 3.1 million. bush administration, approximately 2 million. trump administration, that is the correct number,hundred thousand as of november last year. emily: numbers speak for themselves. you can see the interview too. he is not being a leader in that moment. he no, no, but you said -- it is like watching someone devolve into the details rather than say look, here is my articulated policy. here is what happened. here is what i will do now. why is it hard to be accurate and specific? pete: he is caving to the left. they understood law and order at that time when they were it in charge. now he is a candidate he has to

say that to try to get elected. griff: new york, every time i come and visit i read something that doesn't make sense to me. that is one of those. this whole bail reform. last year the lawmakers, democrat-controlled legislature signed into law the bail reform basically says you can no longer pay cash for bail. you get let out. reporter: for very serious crimes as well. griff: charles berry, "new york daily news." bail reform. it's lit. the democrats no me. republicans fear me. you can't touch me. i can't be stop. who is charles berry? this guy jumps the turnstiles in the subway more than 150 types. gets arrested for it. gets let loose. grabs cash, 2, $300 off of people, charged with, arrested for when they buy the metro card. i just can understand what is going on here. emily: the biggest issue with the bail reform law here, there is two things. number one castification of --

classification of crimes. things swept up in the guys going through include things like robbery. no, no, it is non-violent crimes be but the classification of crimes include things we would be aghast by, including sexual assault on minors. it removes judicial discretion. removes ability unlike new jersey, which maintains it, judges are unable to say on paper this crime technically applies i see you recidivist, i see you jumped 150 times and robs people. i keep you inside. it removes discretion by the judges. aoc comes in, oh, let's give it a shot. absolutely no idea. this is the kind of thing that devolves the city. why people are no longer feeling safe. pete: give it more time to work. this guy charles berry has been arrested over 100 times. bail reform is lit. it is the democrats. democrats know me and republicans fear me. this guy is revolving door of

criminality. they want to keep it going. >> we'll talk with a new york lawmaker later today. pete: griff knows what is coming up in the show. i find out from griff. turning to the headlines, the granddaughter after 92-year-old woman killed by an illegal immigrant is blaming new york policies for her grandmother's murder. she joined us on a interview. she was great on "fox & friends." >> the police are not allowed to do their jobs. me and my family feel that mayor de blasio is accountable and the city of new york. pete: i.c.e. said the suspect should have been deported after he assaulted his own father. the president is demanding holding sanctuary cities accountable demanding legislation to help i.c.e. and other agencies. we have a live look in knew jer where crews put out a massive church fire. the flames engulfed the entire building this morning. not clear if anyone was inside.

making this thing about the president and 2020 election. incessant drum beat from the speaker things went on in the house were unfair to the president, unfair to the country and unfair to the american people. we need to focus on what hatters to to the american people instead of her personal political agenda. griff: what is your reaction elizabeth warren last week mentioning the "i" word with whole attorney general barr and president trump. if speaker pelosi were consider to impeachment of president or anyone else, what would you say? >> i would say it is another, this is just another desperate attempt to get at a president doing exactly what he says. instead of the "i" word of impeachment, why don't we turn to the i word of infrastructure like the president asked? why don't we turn to the p word like prescription drug prices? or another p word like people of united states, continue to work on criminal justice reform. continue to make lives better to make the country better instead of the one political agenda. the house is turned into the dnc

elected to office and appointed to office. each administration you've seen efforts to help but nothing is unprecedented what we are experiencing now in the african-american community. another thing that has happened, when president trump said, he was candidate trump, black people, i want your vote. nobody ever did that on either side of the aisle before. not like he did. he has not only made promises, he has kept those promises. just across the gamut, families are being reunited. religious freedom, opportunities to worship and not fear here in america. reuniting america's families. opening up the plants and steel mills and things like that. there are just so many things we are receiving. even in the life agenda, the sanctity of life now, considering the little baby in the womb a person. all of this is happening in america. america is great again. it has to stay great.

benches. we have apparently mta board member being driven in a chauffeur, even though she lives right next to the train. what is going on? >> start with the endorsement, right? this shouldn't come as a surprise. these two are kindred spirits and both vacationed and honeymooned in socialist countries. whatever short-term benefit thinks he can get in nevada from bill de blasio, i think it will be offset by the fact that someone polled between zero and 1% nationally depending on the poll that was asked. this guy is not doing a great job as mayor. if you're bernie sanders and your biggest selling point, socialist far left government will work for the people i don't know if bill de blasio is the right poster boy for you. where else will they send bill de blasio after nevada? he can't go to florida. he can't go to the carolinas. this is where all new yorkers fled people like him. griff: you, i want to mention this, our viewers may not know, here in new york city the mta

removing back of benches in subway stations to stop homeless people and commuters from sleeping on them. how is that working out? >> this was bill de blasio's problem. we have putting spike strips down so pigeons can't go up on your roof. this is failure of building adequate homeless shelters. this is failure of adequate long term housing for people. people getting out of homeless shelters into long term housing. bill de blasio should focus on being mayor bill de blasio not failed potential president bill de blasio. griff: this is my favorite. lorraine vazquez is a mta board member. lives near the train, subway, yet she is driven by a city-funded chauffeur? >> we allow the mayor to make appointments to the mta board so city transit riders feel they have somebody fighting with them. somebody in it for them. she might be a nice lady. i tell you it is the type of progressive ereceiptism like

elizabeth warren flying on a private jet, lecturing us about climate change. this drives people absolutely mad. griff: last thing i want to get to, we talked earlier in our show, bail reform. so last year, democrat democrat-controlled legislature reform essentially says you can't have cash bail. people to free. one particular individual is arrested 160 times jumping turnstiles and robbing money. what is going on with the bail reform? >> the foy came out of jail. said bail reform is lit and it is great. people are laughing at us. people in the state should have the same right as people in california to put the idea of bail reform on 2020. california groups got half million signatures in 70 days to put it on the ballot. unfortunately in new york we need the legislature to put it on the ballot. we should have the option. griff: you're taking action on this today. >> we're trying to get the legislature to put it on the ballot. if this is so fright, bail

reformed a very cats, pro-criminal advocates, sell it to the american public. let us decide whether we rather have criminals getting out of jail or criminals in jail. griff: the argument, bail reform was needed because less wealthy people were spending more time in jail. aoc makes the argument. you are doing what? what action are you taking? >> we're trying to repeal the law. unfortunately this state did bail reform worse than other states. if you want to end cash that might be fine but replace it with a reasonable, dangerousness standard. that is something emily was talking about earlier i heard. if you replace it with dangerousness, and give judges discretion to remand people, not them out on the streets you won't have people like this guy thumbing their nose at us, getting back on the streets, on the subway, committing crimes that upset our quality of life, put our community in danger. griff: what do you say aoc saying pump the brakes, pump the brakes. give it time?

>> i'm not sure aoc spends time on this planet or in new york how bail reform is failing people. we had dozens if not hundreds of cases january 1st this got into effect. people gotten out of jail. recidivist criminals, people committed heinous crimes from arson, bank robbery, to heists, we're letting people go without any consideration whether they have a future threat to the public. this is a problem for me. i suspect this is a problem for the majority of new yorkers and that is why i want it on the ballot. griff: last question, quickly you written a letter to leaders of democratic controlled legislature to put it on the ballot. do you think that will happen? >> this is tough. they don't want the public to decide. they know the public is with us, people like me. fairness a lot of moderate democrat district attorneys this is beyond what any responsible reform would have done. griff: councilman joe borelli, thanks for being here. look forward to following this. let us know if they respond to you. thank you, sir.

so unfair. continue. emily: tip of the iceberg. griff: is it unfair? pete: it is never unfair. lots of crazy topics to cover this morning. griff doesn't even know what i'm referring to. i'm going to keep it a secret except i'm referring to this topic. we've been through a lot as a country in the last three years. you've got mueller, you've got the whole impeachment probe, you've got the trial that went on in the house and then the acquittal that went on in the senate, and democrats are running for office to be the president of the united states. they're all now in nevada except for michael bloomberg who's running around in all the other states trying to win on super tuesday. while that's all going on the spotlight was in washington because of that trial. it appears that crazy nancy pelosi doesn't want the spotlight to leave. she can't quit impeachment, and she has her view of what it all represents, how long it will last, what it all men's. so she went on another neither yesterday, starts with c and ends with n.

and she couldn't stop talking about her obsession with the president and her obsession with impeachment. here's part of what she said. >> you have a acquittal -- i'm going to say a trial. you have a trial and witnesses and documents. and he can say he's acquitted and the headlines can say acquitted, but he's impeached forever, branded with that and not have you noticed vindica.ed griff: branded. it's not a tattoo, just to be clear but obviously clear that this is perhaps speaker pelosi earned her due being elected not once but twice as speaker of the democrat controlled house setting the narrative for november by trying to hang impeachment on the president's neck. emily: i love how you phrased that, he said "why she's so obsessed with it." why is it so impossible? why couldn't she be obsessed with being a good steward of our taxpayer dollars or cleaning up the sewer in san francisco which is absolutely disgusting which is where i'm from the bay area? there are so many other positive things she could be obsessed

with. instead she's obsessed with this president's election and the fact that he will be, quote, impeached forever. and she's not letting it lie. she is now talking about continuing to do it. i mean, literally dragging it on like the virus that won't end. pete: exactly right. -- first of all, if you're impeached forever, then you're acquitted forever. second of all, griff, you mentioned the narrative. this was a terrible narrative for democrats. you look at the president's approval rating from when impeachment started to where it is right now. what democrat in america today wishes that nancy pelosi would keep talking about this? if anything, they want to turn the page. you don't hear presidential candidates talking about impeachment. because the president was acquitted. he did nothing wrong. her obsession, ultimately, is going to hurt democr.ts griff: she's clearly -- when she tore this speech up, the state of the union, as he was sending a message that's where she's going to do. she was asked about tearing up the president's speech. here's what she said. >> i had no intention of doing that when we went to the state of the union. i'm a speed reader so i was

reading ahead. i knew what was there. i got past like about a third of it, and i thought, this is terrible. then i realized that most every page had something in it that was objectionable. pete: i wasn't planning on tearing up my sheets. i was just pretearing them during that sound bite just in kiss at the end i wanted to tear up my sheets. if you do well i'm not going to tear it up. if i don't like it, i'm prepared. emily: how can she say that since we all saw her pretearing it? how can she have that lie come out of her house knowing she's not transparent? i'm a speed reader. griff: doug collins said, "it is time for her to move on." listen. >> we need to put this nightmare to bed. she needs to quit going on tv and quit saying he's impeached and forever. because it's not true. the only thing true is she's making everything political about this president and the

2020 election. this president is going to get reelected and a lot of it has to do with the incessant speaker who says things that were unfair in the house, unfair to the country, and unfair to the american people. griff: and, by the way, we'll see if she picks up the mantle because elizabeth warren last week actually mentioned the "i" word referring to attorney general bill barr because of the -- as we talked about whether or not he be. gosh goes down that widow it will be interesting to see if it blows back. emily: i love you that interview too, congressman collins, he said what about the word "i" for impeachment, what about about lowering drug prices? he said hoped to reconcile and compromise with democrats to actually benefit the american people rather than just wasting our taxpayer dollars and our time with all of this nonsense that wouldn't be, she said, put to bed umph remember the video that was put out by trump supports that showed the president's speech and all the people he recognized in the balcony and nancy pelosi tearing it up between each one and nancy

pelosi chief of staff tried to get facebook and youtube to take it down? she just said, "then i actually that almost every page had something in it that was objectionable." so tuskegee airmen, that's one page, the mother who got the opportunity scholarship, that's another page, the soldier who came home, that's another page. if every page was objectionable, then that's precisely what she was tearing up. and do you really believe nancy pelosi's a speed reader? i mean, she may have had speed read the bible prays a lot, but she may not have read it in a slow fashion like the rest of us to truly understand what it means. i don't know. emily: she didn't read the tea loves because i don't think it looks good for her moving forw.rd griff: you mention a video, a video today, an ad coming out at the daytona 500, the president adding another title to his biography, and that is grand marshal that will say "start your engines." this is a campaign ad, and we have a short version, preview of

it that will air today during the daytona 500. take a look. >> millions of new jobs, rising wages, record low unemployment, securing our border, protecting our country, and respecting our veterans. pete: there you go. i mean, listen. that's the fastball pitch of what the president's reelection pitch will be. you like the economy, you like your opportunity, you like a strong military, taking care of veterans, which is something he stays very laser focused on, and we'll see what the contrast is. i'm sure you'll see about ten michael bloomberg ads, by the way, during the nascar race because he's sending that much money. emily: he would spend money on an ad but he would never spend physically. griff: he will put forth some of his ideas because the contrast that we painted here in these last five minutes is whether or not voters are upset that the democrats stick with this impeachment thing, it's done, move on. and you saw with pete buttigieg rising, i went to several of his events in iowa and new hampshire welcome back and he said "let's come together over the things that we're for, not what we're

against." >>did he ever talk about impeachment in those events? griff: not particularly. i don't remember that he did. he's talking about coming together, the president's ad, look, here's what i'm offering, here where we go forward. we'll see. bloomberg might be smart to run an ad. emily: representative from florida michael waltz live at 8:15 a.m., he's attending the race with trump. we'll talk to him first. pete: we're going to talk to him about afghanistan which is a big decision facing the administration now, a deal with the taliban which is fraught with potential downsides. everyone wants to find our way to the exit in that combat zone, myself included, but if you do it in a way that allows the taliban to be resurgent and radical islamic terrorism to surge as well you got a big problem on your hands. griff: i'm jealous of michael walsh and everybody else who gets to watch this today, but you can watch it on fox today at 2:30 p.m. eastern. clear your calendar. pete: if we had to pick a nascar

that the best if not only way forward in afghanistan is through a political agreement. and that means taking some risks risks. pete: g.o.p. congressman and former green beret commander michael walsh sits on the house armed services committee. we got two things in hand here. a lot of people -- and the president was elected to get us out of these places and not make it an endless situation. at the same time, a bad deal with the taliban could really go sideways there. what's the right way forward in afghanistan with this peace deal deal? >> look, pete, you know, everybody wants this war to end. we're about to bury another fellow two green berets. however, half the world's terrorist organizations still exist there, and we have to stay on offense. i think we need to be very careful in sending the signal that we're not going to stand with the government, that we're not going to stand with the afghan army, that we're going to

leave too soon, that could cause all of this to fracture back into civil war, and those terrorist groups -- al-qaeda, isis, the taliban, and others will take advantage of it. so i'm looking to see a public denunciation of al-qaeda from the taliban and sending the signal that we will stay on offense and that we will not let these terrorists follow us home back here in the united states. let's just see how this, pete, this ceasefire goes over the next seven days -- pete: so it's a seven-day ceasefire. the taliban could lay their arms down for seven days and then go right back to business. you and i both know they've been controlling huge parts of this country in an open way and in a shadow way for quite some time. >> right. pete: how do we stay on the offense when ultimately we're leaving and we're counting on afghan troops who, so far, after two decades of being trained by the best military in the world, are not up to snuff? how do we have hope that this is a good outcome? >> well, we have to remind -- you know, we have to remind everyone, we've been in south

korea with troops helping their army now since the 1950s. so part of this -- pete: it's true. let me challenge you there. it's true, though, but south korea is a very different place. germany is a very different place. afghanistan, you and i have both been there. it's way behind in the human infrastructure that either japan or germany had. i understand those long-term investments. afghanistan's a different place. >> no, actually, pete, the south korean army had a hire illiteracy rate in the 1950s than the afghan army does today. so this is about how do we have low level, sustained engagement far forward so that it doesn't follow us home and that we keep our foot on their neck over there rather than back here. meanwhile, over time the afghan army does grow, but, you know, i certainly agree with the president's frustrations and everyone else. we need to be focused on china. but we can't send the signal that we're just completely out. that's what obama did in iraq and then that's what led to a

resurgence of isis and we had a much bigger problem on our hands hands. so it's really threading a needle. pete: that is the tension, because you've got huge threats in china and you don't want to be pumping billions into a backwards environment in afghanistan hoping it's going to get better. you and i both saw -- >> we can do this with a very small number of troops. and the left is i'm trying to say, well, we've got, you know, a million boots on the ground there in tehran and others. that's not the case. pete: do you think there is a political -- and this is not about politics. this is about national security. but there is a political vulnerability. if you withdraw from afghanistan the taliban takes kabul and takes over as some feel it could happen the what's been a big risk for the president and for our country. >> well, that's the risk, but the bigger risk is you get the isis caliphate 3.0. because, remember, you have pakistan right next door that could also fall into chaos, and then you have loose nukes on your hands. so that's why, really,lized, you know, walking this tightrope, threading this needle, this is

million for his reelection campaign in the r.n.c. senator mitt romney is praised for voting "yes" to impeach president trump. watch this. >> he's probably the most courageous lawmaker we have in the united states. (applause) griff: that applause happening at the munich security conference in germany. romney was the only republican to vote "yes." griff: said to vatican more than 200 americans on a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of japan more than ten days with at least 350 confirmed cases of coronavirus on board and more than 40 of them reportedly americans. umph, meanwhile, the pentagon is extending quarantine how long on four military bases for one more month in hopes of stopping the deadly virus from spreading. more than 69,000 people have been diagnosed worldwide, including 15 of them here in the u.s. since the outbreak began. emily: here with more, fox news medical contribute dr. marc siegel. thank you for joining us, doctor

doctor. what are your thoughts on spreading now in the quarantines happening? >> well, to start with the cruise ship, i want to applaud the administration and president trump for actually now getting rid of -- evacuating the close to 400 passengers. and i'll tell you why. this is additional 70 cases just today alone, 356 cases of coronavirus have been diagnosed on the ship. and the crew has not been paying attention to the quarantine. they're eating together, they're wearing -- they're not always wearing their masks, they're bringing food to the rooms. so theoretical this quarantine could have worked with everyone isolated on their rooms, but it didn't work, and not only that, some of the people have medical conditions are frail and elderly elderly. and so the idea of air lifting them home and then imposing another two weeks of quarantine makes perfect medical sense, emily, because, you know what? they may have been exposed to the virus while on board the ship, while in the middle of that quarantine. so this is very good public

health, very careful, and it's what the cdc has been doing all along. that's one of the reasons the virus hasn't spread here yet. pete: doctor, when you look at the virus globally, is it quarantined? has it been contained? where are we? >> i don't think so, pete. and that's what i'm window. you're seeing close to 70,000. i believe and many public health officials believe it's well over a hundred thousand because early on not all the time was the diagnosis made. someone had an upper respiratory infection or an unknown pneumonia. you didn't know what it was. also the deaths, probably more than 100 deaths. the goal here with the travel restrictions and with careful isolation identification and tracing of people who had contact with anyone who had the virus is to keep it from spreading in the united states and around the world. so far that's true, but the burden is getting harder and harder and harder. griff: so, dr. segal, stories like this cause a great amount of anxiety particularly here in america, we see the numbers

growing, some americans thinking about traveling. how concerned should our viewers be about this? >> griff, that i say very important question. i want our viewers to follow this, to get the information from us but at the same time be able to realize that our own leaders are doing a good job protecting us and that right now the coronavirus is not really here. the 15 cases have been isolated. you're not going to get it walking down the street. and not only that, h.h.s. has instituted a policy where in five major cities they're going to testing people at public health clinics who have flu-like symptoms to see if they could have coronavirus. so we're being protected and we don't need to jump to worst-case scenarios. that doesn't help the situation, and it is not effective. what is working is the public health mandates that we're seeing here in the u.s. so far. we also have got to get cdc over there. we have to help the situation in china to be controlled better than it is. pete: dr. marc siegel, thank you very much for your insights.

orleans, detroit, and newark. and it is because the border is getting more secured, no doubt, but the interior problem with criminal immigrant instances as we saw and talked about on this show a lot is got to be dealt with, and it is the protection of these criminals. we had a very moving interview earlier on this show. we talk to dariaortiszz who is the granddaughter of 92-year-old woman, she was brutally raped and murdered. we had an exclusive interview with her today. here is what daria ortiz said. griff: if she were here today, she would want justice. she would not be angry. she would want something done about it. me and my family feel that mayor de blasio is accountable and the city of new york for allowing him to put forth this law. that kind of contradicts our

constitution, you know. americans should be safe, and if people want to come here because they're fearful of their countri countries, they can't now come to our country and make us fearful. this could have been avoided. had there not been a sanctuary law, this man would have been deported a long time ago. and my grandma would still be here today. pete: yes. it could have been avoided if her grandmother's murderer who had already committed a crime has been around the over to i.c.e. which is what happens in these situations but not in sanctuary cities. let's bring in matthew albence, acting i.c.e. director. first of all, bortac '88, the s.w.a.t. team on the border payroll is moving temporarily to sanctuary cities to support i.c.e. and its endorsement function. what are we to make of that? >> well, it goes with what we've been saying for years and years, which is that these sanctuary jurisdictions cause us to have to go out and make more arrests at large in these communities president the safest thing for our officers and the public is

to turn these individuals over to us when they have them in their custody. they're refusing to cooperate with us and give us no chase, we have to go out. not just the bortac but the c.b.p. officers, those are officers that have actually trained at our fugitive operations training program that have gone through and work with us all the time. so this is not unique. what's unique is that we're getting a concerted effort and large-scale numbers of cbp personally to these the locations try to make a dent to this terrible problem of this criminal aliens being released back to the stre.ts emily: speak to the morale, if you will, affecting so many both in citizens and in your rank-and-file in terms of how this is all preventable and yet because of these decisions made in democratic-led cities, people are literally dying because of it. how is that affecting morale? >> well, dedicated men and women of i.c.e. will continue to do

their job regardless of the obstacles put in front of them. but these things such as sanctuary cities, this green light law in new york puts our officers at a much greater risk than they need to be. there's no need for our officers to have to put their lives on the line every day to get individuals who otherwise could have been turned over in the safety and security of the jurisdictions, jail. you have to remember, these are the exact same individuals that that jurisdiction whether it's new york or chicago p.d. just arrested hours ago previously for a criminal violation. they want to endorse their laws but they won't allow us to endorse our laws. griff: director, it's got to be incredibly frustrating because there's actually the woman we played, dario ortiz there was over 2900 dethere's not here in new york city over the last 12 months. but i want to take you to a different spot and that is former vice president biden spoke with jorge ramos and he was confronted by jorge on obama obama's record when it came to

deportations. listen. 69 most of the people that you deported didn't have a criminal record. biden: i'm not disagreeing with you. >> was that wrong? because you haven't -- many people are expecting you to apologize for that, to say that it was wrong. biden: i think it was a big mistake, took too long to get it right. but to compare -- look. you had the last two administrations deport twice as many people as we deported. >> president trump obama deported three million people, more than ever. biden: no, because you had people deported in the w. administration and the bush and the clinton administration. but the point is, it was too many. >> more than ever. biden: you keep saying that, but that's not the numbers i've seen seen. >> i'm -- biden: whether it's more than ever or not, it was a mistake. griff: director, can you give us an insight on that? >> i don't know how he can say it's a mistake to enforce the immigration laws in the can you tell us which congress as passed

passed. we're not in a position to choose the laws we endorse. we endorse the laws congress has passed. we're endorsing the law every day whether it's at the border with the border patrol, whether it's in the interior of the united states, we're going to continue to faithfully endorse the immigration laws in this country, professionally and with compassion but we have to do it. no other choice. there's no other law enforcement agency in this country that's being asked to ignore a lawfully instituted order from a federal judge. griff: director albence, thank you for what you and your men and women do to get this under control. i just want to ask you one last, and that is, if you could speak to all of the democrats running for office, the president, all members of congress, what would you say is your message to them? >> look. these are solvable problems. we've talked about the loopholes that exist with regard to things that are happening at the border but we've been asking for something to be done with regard to the detarrant situation. a lot of these jurisdictions that want to cooperate with us can't because the detainer has

not been codified properly within the federal code. so if we get that fixed that will bring some of these jurisdictions back to the table to cooperate with us. we're willing and able to provide technical assistance to congress at any time with regard to how to solve these problems. pete: nancy isn't going to do it it. you can't say that, but i will. maybe someday congress will get serious about this and give you the tools you need. matthew albence. thank you. turning now to your headlines, six police officers are hurt after their patrol car crashed in chicago. investigators say the officers were in two cars when they collided while responding to the same call. the officers are hospitalized. five of them are in stable condition. one, unfortunately, in serious condition. and e-cigarette maker "uul intentionally bought ads targeting children. a federal lawsuit charges them they put ads on the cartoon network. they deny the allegation. they have several lawsuits from parents whose children have died

and another teen who confessed to the crime remains in custody. here to react is retired n.y.p.d. detective angel mason masonette. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having.me emily: what are your thoughts on this? >> we have to look at the heinous nature of this crime; right? they should definitely be tried as adults. this young man was being hidden by his family; right? he ended up escaping police custody at one point or he escaped when they were trying to talk to him. he was going to turn himself in, he left and his family was hiding him until his wounds healed, right, because they had d.n.a., he was bitten on the hand. she fought for her life. pete: and it's ultimately that d.n.a. that's now tied this 14 14-year-old to the crime; right? >> absolutely. d.n.a. doesn't lie. pete: so where does it go from here, then, in this case? >> so now they're going to probably pit themselves against one way or the other; right? both of these young man. there's one outstanding perp. right now it's going to go,

they're going to be tried as adults. i'm sure their attorneys are going to try to make deals and get them the best possible outcome for everybody. emily: and, detective, have you seen, you know, your experience living here and being part of the n.y.p.d. for so long, how have you seen the tenor of crime changed? are you see on the streets the spike that we've been hearing about statistically as policies have changed here in the city? >> absolutely. i came on the job in 1992. it was at the height of the crack wars; right? and the city's on its way back. there's lawlessness. i mean, you know, from the mayor to all these politicians who are -- at news conferences pretending to support the police when they don't. you have people emboldened to walk inside of precincts and shoot at police officers. it's going back to the good old days of the late nineties. pete: angel, there's a quote that stuck out at us from the new york daily news. guy's name is charlie's berry, a repeat offender, over 100 arrests, and this is what he said about bail reform. you referred to it, that new law

that basically is a revolving door. he said "bail reform reformer? it's lit. it's the democrats. the democrats know me and the republicans fear me. you can't touch me. i can't be stopped." those are the words of a criminal saying to the police, law enforcement, "you can't touch me." >> right. 39 arrests. right? 139 arrests since the bell reform was enacted january 1st, he's been arrested four times, i believe. it's ridiculous. and unfortunately he's right, he can't be touched. the way this law is written, this bail reform law, they're not taken into account the person's criminal history. i don't know about you but if someone's pickpocketing me and impersonating mta workers and stealing money -- pete: the judge can't take into consideration criminal history. >> not right now, they cannot. pete: unbelievably. >> yeah, it's ridiculous. pete: common sense is gone. you have a lot of it. thank you very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. pete: these are some famous words.

>> we've got another pace car here. can you go too wide on him? >> i think we can pass. i don't think -- >> oh! yeah, i feel like -- >> we're making our move u move. we're drafting up, and we're going to make a swing shot. >> i've never had that happen out here on this course. so when you're coming up behind the car here, how far away are you from the car in front of you you? >> we're really close. so that was actually far away compared to what -- we're getting our doors blown off but we'll actually touch bumpers. we'll be bumping each other a lot of time. >> you bump each other and that doesn't make you crash necessar.ly griff:. >> that's the goal. it's not a malicious bump. it's more of a i'm trying to make you go faster bump. >> we're talking, you're taking your hand off the steering wheel you're talking like this is super normal, we're only going 100 miles per hour. you can do better than that.

>> we're going about a hundred miles per hour slower than we'll go this afternoon. we'll crank it up here a little better. >> we're right here at the finish line. this is going to be your fifth daytona 500? >> my fourth this year. >> what's your best finish? >> i finished 3rd last year. that's about the best i've ran in this race. >> that's respectable. >> we'll take that. >> oh, wow. all right. so you never get obviously motion sick? >> no, not usually. that wouldn't be good in a car. >> oh, man. and you must feel like right now when you're driving, you've got freedom 'cause you can move your body. >> i do. >> when you're in the race, it's really -- the cars are very safe for the drivers, you see these spectacular crashes but it's actually for the most part quite safe because you're so trapped in? >> yeah, nascar's done a really good job over the last 20 years of making our sport really safe and with that comes a little tight confinement in the cockpit but, you know, it's all for our

benefit and we've seen really very few injuries over the last few years. so it's good, but definitely can't move around and talk like we are right now, a little tighter in that car. >> for sure. and what's the angle right here? >> i believe the banking here is 36 degrees. >> 36 degrees. all right. there you go. we're going to do -- we're going to see how fast i can get him to go up there. can we get to 140, 150? >> we'll see. >> i think somebody's yelling at us, maybe we're going too fast. that's it, guys. really, really great. emily: so awesome! pete: hold on tight, rick! rick was asking him how he's feeling -- i want to know how rick's feeling right now. that is not something a normal person deals with. emily: 100 miles an hour slower than they're going to go. griff: you can watch the president today, it airs on fox at 2:30 p.m. you don't want to miss it. coming up, will hillary be back on the ballot in november?

and at one point they were going 100 miles an hour, and the driver said -- 'em e 'em slower than they are going to be going later. he was with erik jones. rick was keeping his cool. i would have been -- griff: you have a race car. what's the fastest you've gone? emily: just about 120. greve greve just about 120. emily: not anywhere near how fast these guys are. i'm so so excited for him and obviously thrilled to be on the couch. griff: i'll be watching 2:30 ian on fox, it's going to be a great day and at first with the president on site, we're told it's, quote, likely that the beast may go around the track. who knows. meanwhile, i cannot divorce myself from the campaign trail, we have news -- [laughter] this is an exciting year. i've covered them since 1996, and this one is unlike any other because you have so many different people in the democratic race. we've talked about it all morning. with bloomberg on the rise, it's certainly the latest, greatest.

and yesterday's headline, i looked at the drudge report, and i did a double take. pete: you had to look twice. griff: it said that bloomberg is considering hillary clinton as his running mate. emily: meanwhile, his communications director has responded, oh, no, no, no, we're focused on the primary and debate, not vp speculation. pete: that's not a no. emily: exactly. pete: not a no in political speak. and hillary clinton also, he's been asked about this. this shouldn't surprise us, but it does. i don't know every time you think you're done with hillary, hillary just doesn't want to quit you x. maybe she sees michael bloomberg as her one last ticket to get to the white house that has been elusive to her from the beginning since she's not a good candidate, people didn't want to vote for her. a couple of days ago on ellen's show, would she want to be vp? here's what hillary. >> if someone asked you to be vice president, would you do it? [laughter] >> well, that's not gonna

happen. but no, probably no. >> you don't know that's not going to happen. >> i think i do. >> really? [laughter] >> yeah, i think i do. >> all right. but what if they did? >> oh, well. look, it's like when barack obama asked me to be secretary of state, i was shocked. i had no idea he was going to ask me, and i turned him down twice. i never say never because -- >> okay, so you will. okay. >> -- serving my country, but it's not gonna happen. emily: i was shocked. but, of course, my country, griff -- griff: well, in fairness, hillary is still revered and admired by many people in the country, particularly women. and i want to point to the timing of a story that came out in "the washington post" in the last 24 hours x that is a deep dive into mike bloomberg's issues with women filing lawsuits against him and michael bloomberg's company. here's the headline, mike bloomberg for years has battled allegations of profane, sexist comments. if hillary clinton came out and enforced michael bloomberg, it would go a long way in the

narrative which all of his competitors would like to see pushed. emily: but i think that would still be a russian roulette, because it's not a guarantee. she has her own history especially from a hypocritical standpoint, seeing how she has responded to the situation with her hulz and how she's explained that away. while she thinks of herself as a champion of women's rights, her record doesn't necessarily prove that. so i think it would be an interesting choice especially for that polarizing element if he were to pick her as a running mate. he had a 36% likability rate or approval rate. that's not exactly a slam dunk for him. pete: griff, i don't think it would go a long way. she's got her own checkered past in all these issues, and it would sort of reignite this idea that the elites, the well connected, they play by a whole different set of rules. when they get paper over their discretions but the rest of us could never get away with it, is

hillary clinton the one to do it? does he want to be the one man alive standing between hillary clinton and the oval office? i don't -- you know, i'm just saying. i wouldn't pick her as my vp because is she wants to be president. and i just don't see, i just do not see it as a serious, viable option. clearly, though, michael bloomberg's team has spent more money on poll testing messages than anybody else. that means there's some data out there that tells them if he's got a problem with accusations inside his company, he should pick a female vp. if you're looking at the list of candidates available, hillary clinton's going to pop up on that list. emily: right. griff: the national poll, the real clear politics average before iowa and new hampshire, he was at about 5-8%, he's now over 14 percent if, closing in on biden. pete: best candidacy money can buy. griff: there are the numbers. if you wanted some evidence that you're doing something right and rising, it is when all of your competitors attack you. here's what the candidates are

saying about bloomberg. listen. >> democracy is not candidates going to the homes of billionaires raising money. >> i don't think we have a better chance of beating donald trump by putting up a billionaire against him. >> mayor bloomberg, with all his money, will not create the kind of excitement and energy we need to have the voter turnout we must have to defeat donald trump. >> billionaire wants to run for president on the democratic ticket, that's fine. just don't use your own money to do it. emily: you know -- pete: that makes no sense. [laughter] you're a billionaire, don't use your own money. emily: rightment he doesn't want to be an advocate for capitalism. pete: that's true. emily: on the hillary clinton thing, there's a fatigue. you know, there's a difference between name recognition and then having something sort of be the gift that keeps on giving or the zombie that won't die, figuratively speaking, in terms

of having a name shoved down your throat so much. as you pointed out earlier, there's such a dissonance between the establishment and what the establishment tells democratic voters who they should like and who they should vote for that doesn't resonate and isn't accurate with the rest of the party. griff: that's a great point, emily. and let's not forget the establishment candidate in this with high expectations was joe biden, and joe biden is struggling, and that is being kind right now. every day out there on the campaign trail we've been talking about the border issues. pete: we have. before we get to that too, you can't dismiss bernie and the bernie bros and their core of support and how they feel treated in this process. if you're at the dnc, if you think you're going to put in michael bloomberg hillary clinton and ignore bernie sanders, you're going into a general election where a big fraction of your base may sit it out and say for the second time in a row it's been rigged against us. so we'll see if -- that's why they're talking about it so much. a real problem for them.

he's a chameleon with a billion dollars who's now -- he's been on every side of every position before, and he's trying to buy every vote he can get. griff: i would agree with you, but, you know, as we pointed out yesterday in the peggy noonan column, she's saying part of bloomberg's success is because of the biden implosion. emily: of course. griff: it's moments like this, so biden has been out there talking immigration and border issues in the last 24 hours, but here's a flashback of where bind was when he was first trying to carve out his lane attacking the president. >> the idea that we're a country that thinks it's okay to lock kids up in cages, to talk about people the way we do, that's not who america is. i don't believe for a second we're the nation that builds walls and whips up hysteria over immigration. no one will be deported in my administration who hasn't committed a felony. i'll get rid of the prime minister's cruel policy of put -- the president's cruel policy of putting kids in cages.

we didn't separate families, lock kids up in cages, we didn't do all of those things. griff: then he sits down with jorge ramos and says this. >> i quote: we didn't lock people in cages. but you actually did. we found a picture of an 8-year-old boy from honduras -- >> yes. and -- [inaudible conversations] >> in 2014. in a detention center in mcallen, texas. >> all the unaccompanied children coming across the border, we tried to get them out, kept them safe and get them out of the detention centers and get them into communities as quickly as we can. >> and people would say they were cages. >> well, look, you know you're not telling the truth here about the comparison of the two things. griff: i assure you that mr. bloomberg is probably enjoying watching that. emily: think about when literally confronted with

accurate statistics, biden goes, no, no, no, that's not the numbers i've seen. when will that play out, for example, against the incumbent for people to see, audiences to see how wrong he is, how misinformed and that he's lying to the american public in that moment? pete: you mentioned those that disinns, here's another portion where he just denied the fact it is. watch. >> most of the people that you deported didn't have a criminal record. >> i'm not disagreeing with you. i said -- >> but was that wrong? because you haven't, many people are expecting you to apologize for that, to say that it was wrong. >> i think it was a big mistake, took too long to get it right. but to compare -- look, you had the last two administrations deport twice as many people as we deported. >> but -- >> no, look -- >> deported women more than ever. >> no, no, no, because you had more people deported in the w. administration, bush, and the clinton administration. but the point is, it was too many. it was too many -- >> more than ever -- >> i didn't, you keep saying

that, but that's not the numbers i've seen. >> i'm -- >> whether it's more than ever or not, it was a mistake. pete: go ahead. emily: july 31st during the debate he said that illegal immigrants need to get in line. so not only is he flip-flopping on his comments of a few months ago, but he's also blatantly ignoring -- pete: well, he's got secret numbers. the numbers with -- are what they are. that first sound bite, i think, the most important one. he admitted that donald trump has continued on the border by protecting kids is the right thing to do. human traffickers using kids as shields, when you find them and they're vulnerable, you segregate them to keep them safe temporarily, and the left and the media calls them all cages because they want to create the imagery that makes president trump look cruel when in actuality the policy on the border is incredibly humane, the way we're treating these kids, giving them the time to make sure they're safe. and he can't own up to that

because now he's got to own up to his open borders crowd and all the things on the left. griff: you asked the right question, emily, and that is what does bloomberg think about this? there's a debate in nevada on wednesday. pete: what does his most recent focus group tell him he should say, that's what he will say. emily: turning now to your headlines, americans are expected to walk off this quarantined the cruise ship in japan. around 400 americans are stuck on the ship amid the coronavirus outbreak. ing 46 americans reportedly testing positive for the deadly virus on the same ship. they're being monitored at a p japanese hospital. dr. marc siegel joined us earlier today, the he said people here in the u.s. shouldn't be worried. take a listen. >> right now the coronavirus is not really here. the 15 cases have been isolated. you're not going to get it walking down the street. we're being protected, and we don't need to jump to worst case

scenarios. emily: meanwhile, the pentagon is extending quarantine housing on four military bases for one more month in hopes of stopping the deadly virus from spreading. there are more than 68,000 cases in mainland china and more than 1600 people have died. a fedex driver goes viral for this patriotic act caught on camera. the man picked up an american flag after it was knocked down by strong winds, folded it and returned it to the new jersey home's porch, and that driver joined us earlier this morning on "fox & friends." >> when you see a flag on the ground, that's a sign of disare respect. you have to stop and do something. emily: the homeowner says the worker wasn't even delivering a package to his home. the homeowner hopes to thank him with dinner soon. those are your headlines. pete: son of a 9/11 first responder. his father motivated him. god bless him. emily: and is if he wants to move into law enforcement himself, we wish hem all the best.

general eric holder said this? >> i'm happy, i'm still enjoying what i'm doing. there's still work to be done, and i'm still the president's wingman. griff: here to weigh in, ranking member of the house intelligence committee, den nunez. congressman -- devin nuñes. a little bit of hypocrisy there. >> yeah. it's not to be surprised. remember, attorney general holder was the one who was in charge of fast and furious, the gun running that happened over the mexican border that we tried to get to the bottom of that we were never able to get to the bottom of. holder was definitely a wingman. what's happening here with barr, i think people need to understand that he's cleaning up the mess from not only the obama administration, but also the mess that was left with the whole russiagate fiasco with nearly $40 million spent on the mueller team that went chasing and trying to put us boo a status of a permanent -- into a discuss of a permanent coup against the president of the united states. he's only been in there a little

over a year. i think people need to understand the problem that he's dealing with. pete: the left is working and their enablers in the media are working overdrive to try to drive a wedge between the president and the attorney general. speak to how to navigate this going forward considering the fact that bill barr's got his job to do, and the president's doing his. >> yeah. i mean, look, i think what the attorney general said was very clear, that the president should be careful making comments about criminal investigations. one should not see that as anything other than but what it is, exactly what the attorney general said. the attorney general didn't say to stop tweeting, because the fact of the matter is this: with 90% of the media being hard left and really just working for the democratic party, the president has to be able to tweet. he's built a powerful tool reaching millions of americans, millions of people around the globe, so the president has to tweet. at the same time, the attorney general has to be able to do his job. so it's understandable that the

prime minister can be frustrated -- the president can be frustrated because everybody knows that sending a military invasion to roger stone's house, you know, in the middle of the night to arrest him, that's how this all, you know, started. and finishing with the nine-year, seven to nine year sentence, the whole thing is ridiculous. all for what? for lying to congress which is something that, you know, many others didn't get busted for just recently, mr. mccabe. emily: right. >> not lying to congress, but lying to the fbi. pete: schiff is lying in congress, but that's a whole other thing. >> yeah. that's a whole ore issue -- other issue, right? emily: what are your thoughts, what would you say or what are the biggest challenges facing a.g. barr in terms of restoring the public's feint boo these institutions that we've seen -- faith into institutions that we've seen unraveling in front of our eyes? >> it's a very good question. what the american people have to

understand is this is not going to be cleaned up overnight. there's a lot of damage that has been done, and the left is very good at seeding people in. remember, the mueller team was $40 million. we have people within doj, dirty cops in the fbi, all over the government. we know what the challenges are dealing -- the white house is dealing with all the obama holdovers in the national security council. this is not going to be cleaned up. and i think what conservatives and the american people have to understand, there's not some imagine magic, hail mary pass. it's about being in the trenches, one yard and a cloud of dust every single day to try to root these people out of government. and attorney general barr and us in congress have a difficult job ahead of us. griff: coppman devin nuñes, thank you for taking the time. appreciate it. coming up, comedienne samantha bee railing against praying per u.
