weekend, the democratic candidates looking to show support six days ahead of the state caucus. hello and welcome to "america's news headquarters". >> thank you for joining us. the early caucus voting has been on the way in nevada, contenders taken support from the key voting bloc in the silver state and latino americans. a recent poll shows bernie sanders has been leading the field but elizabeth warren and joe biden looking as they fell short and i went in new hampshire, allison barbara is in henderson and covering the pete buttigieg campaign today. >> there are four days of early voting in nevada, yesterday worked day one as of 5:00 p.m. local time yesterday evening, 11800 nevada democrats voted early according to the democratic party in the state,

we don't know who they voted for, or how many voted, but bernie sanders as you mention is leading the pack in recent state polls, he had a rally yesterday to encourage supporters to get out and vote early and walked with them to a polling location, nevada is an important state, the first in the west caucus in the first indication of how candidates will do amongst minority voters, nevada has the largest hispanic population and they need and want their supporters. >> in order to win in november, we will have to have strong support from the african-american community, the latino, and the native american community. we cannot take these communities for granted anymore. >> i don't have billions of dollars of my own money to pour into the airways, but what we do have is a vision as we demonstrated in new hampshire and iowa can bring people together in a commitment as we

come to more racially diverse states. >> the interviewed three presidential candidates were campaigning in nevada this weekend and asked them if they could lean the president of mexico, pete buttigieg got it correct, tom steyer and amy klobuchar said they forgot or they did not know, president lopez took office in 2018. >> thank you so much. >> in the meantime harry reid who spent 30 years as a democratic senator from nevada has encouragement for his former colleague joe biden yesterday. >> i went in new hampshire represent this country, he will do well in the data and do very well in south carolina and people -- >> joining us now is nevada democrat mike congresswoman.

thank you for joining a spring. >> so you just heard former majority leader harry reid with his prediction, joe biden has the votes to back it up. >> i believe he will, he will come out of nevada very strong, one of the reasons i support h him, he put together a diverse coalition of voters and i represent the most ethically diverse in the state in the most in the country. besides hispanics we have a very fast-growing asian pacific island community and a lot of seniors here, big retirement community in there willingly in support of joe biden. >> you are right, with a diverse population, all odd numbers to what you gave us, 30% latino voters there in nevada, 10% asian american pacific islanders, 10% black, as we know mr. joe biden is counting on people of color to get him to the white house as president but

what are the challenges for biden in nevada and what's the plan to overcome those challenges? >> nevada is very different from iowa and new hampshire in a number of ways, we have a caucus but as a hybrid so we have four days of early voting, people in nevada like to vote early, that is 65% of any general election will turn out before the day of the election. so we have early voting helping biden. >> i'm asking about more specific numbers. what is making him, how are you selling him there, how is he resonating with the voters and where his challenges? >> i think he is silly because after all barack obama picked him as a vice president, he is ready to go to work on day one he didn't need any on-the-job training, he has a record of progressive legislation from the time he was in the senate whether the nra or obamacare or

global warming or climate change, he did those bills in the 80s before people were looking at him. he has a platform of what he will do but he's also has a record of what he has done, he's always put together a coalition and he will gain back our respect internationally, this country has been falling backwards in terms of leadership position and he says he leads by example, he has the compassion to do it into the experience and intellect. -- i understand, this wednesday february 19, your district las vegas will host the next democratic presidential debate and as a biden campaign surrogate, you listed a lot of things, what point do you think biden has to make on that to be state. >> he needs to talk about his

record, he needs to talk about guns and nevada because in my district we have the worst mass shooting in modern american history. he needs to talk about issues that affect the west, we have not heard about renewable energy and clean land use or water, most of these have been mississippi issues, and the west is hungry for that, it's a big issue in nevada, all this points he will make very strongly. he is not one scripted candidate this is the same thing every time, he speaks from the heart and people appreciate that sincerity. >> as a democrat are you concerned about your parties message as a whole, people want to debate, will the democratic party come across as a cohesive group or splinter party? >> we will have to come back together after the primary for all the candidates have pledged they will do that once the nominee is named, i believe the feeling is so strong that we have to get rid of this president, people will do that.

that is the motivating factor, who can best beat the president. >> what about joe biden that makes him the candidate who can beat president trump? >> he is persistent, he has been at it for a long time, president trump was willing to risk impeachment two get a foreign power to do fake investigation and he keeps coming back and they keep cal counting him out,d he keeps coming back, he has more intellect and experience and he can take trump's on the debates state. >> we will see, congressman thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> we will talk to you soon. >> las vegas trip after washington, the white house defending the president's tweet over the recommendation of the long-time advisor, roger stone. that after attorney general william barr criticized the president tweeting kellyanne conway defended the president saying he did not put any pressure on the ag.

>> is disingenuous to say the president don't comment on criminal matters, the present of the united states has not asked or directed his attorney general privately to do anything in any criminal matter including roger stone. >> mark meredith joins us live near merril merrill lago where e present has been spending this weekend. >> billboard to get a lot of headlines after he criticized the president over the constant tweets and comments about ongoing cases, the justice department is dealing with, what is interesting we hear the white house fire back saying the president has the right to speak up. >> he did not have a conversation with bill barr about roger stone, he had a conversation with the whole world, he put it on the twitter feed on social media and he expresses himself. >> the justice department surprise many people last week when it overruled the prosecutor handling the case against one time associate roger stone, he

was convicted last year on multiple counts of lying to congress, prosecutors were going to push 7 - 9 year prison sentence, officials plan to ask for much lower sense. the attorney general said he has never discussed the stone case with the president or the white house but that is not stopping a handful of democratic members of congress on calling a billboard to step down from his post among those leading the charge as presidential candidate in massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. >> in front of our eyes, we are watching a dissent into authoritarianism. in this just seems that everybody should be speaking up. presidential candidates should be speaking up, people around the country should be speaking up. >> the group protect democracy has collected signatures from over 1000 or more justice department employees, all calling on the attorney general to step down. as you mention fox news has not been able to verify the names and credentials of those who sign the online petition and

barr himself said he was knocking to be swayed by anybody in newspapers or by outside opinion. what is going to be interesting is the attorney general is set to face congress but it will not happen for several weeks form now he will be testifying over the house judiciary committee at the end of march. >> a beautiful spot in west palm beach. thank you. >> it is race day in florida, we are not talking about 2020, in just minutes president trump will be on his way to the first nascar race of the 2020 cup series. the daytona 500, he and first lady will also take a lap around the track of the presidential limo known as the beast, rick is life at daytona international speedway with a behind-the-scenes look at the great american race. >> five, four, three, two, one. role.

>> your three-time winner at daytona, what was a transition like. >> certainly a lot different when you been driving a race car your whole life syndrome five or six years old, being behind the wheel 200 miles per hour to move into the broadcast booth, i tried to take the things that i thought a new from sitting on a couch from watching the broadcast on a saturday or friday race and i would add this or say this and i think they're doing this, i try to put myself into the driver seat into the driver's mind or the team's mind, this is been one of the best i've seen from action on the track and is looking to be the best ever. >> that is a lot of fun. by the way you can catch live coverage of the daytona 500 race starting at two 30 eastern.

>> he is taken alive look at president trump on air force one in florida as he is departing long beach international airport on the way to daytona beach, the president will serve at the grand marshall for the days daytona 500 and we are told air force one will fly over the racetrack than the president and first lady melania and trump will take a lap in the limo before the race. >> can you imagine that, they will put the details on the presidents limo. >> i said that with yesterday, they should put stripes. [laughter] >> we are going to take you there and keep you covered. be sure to stick stick with us

here. >> what if he wins the race. >> this is where i stop talking. [laughter] >> what we have on the table is a proposal negotiated between our ambassador in the taliban, it looks very promising, we have to give peace a chance but the best if not only way forward in afghanistan is through political agreement, that means taking risk. >> defense secretary mark expert sounding optimistic as they say about the truth within the u.s. and the taliban. the deal could lead to the end of america's longest war and bring our troops home from afghanistan. that is the hope but will the taliban really stick to their part of the deal? joining us now the institute for the study of war, and fox news senior analyst, do you think this will hold? >> this is the beginning of a

long and challenging process. a reduction in violence, let's unpack that for audience so they can understand, it is not a cease-fire, but the taliban cannot hold their hard-core organization from fighting, they will continue to fight, that's the problem the taliban has with some of their members,. >> what good is a steal of this happen. >> they will still have a reduction in violence, the kids were in the dead of winter, what they do in the wintertime is prepare for spring, second, it is only one week, we were stress testing the taliban it would be for a month, the taliban and one that either, because many of their fighters are weary and when they go home with a month to their family the taliban are concerned that a lot would not return to the battlefield. so probably tomorrow the united states government announces this that last for seven days and

hopefully it does the negotiations will begin with the afghan government, that is crucial in the united states will begin a slow withdrawal to around 8600 folks in the taliban will announce the rejection, don't believe that for a minute, that is public noise. >> that is a key that we have required that they stop support on terrorism, let me redo the wall street journal today, as part of the agreement that would follow successful to reduce violence, the taliban agreed to break the terrorism in all the areas they control, no hosting, no presence, no training, no equipment, no fundraising for terrorists, that threaten the united states or the allies, do you buy that. >> we have to have a healthy dose of skepticism, or officials no know the taliban cannot be trusted, everybody's clear, i spoke to the president a couple days ago, he is clear about as well, where i think we are,

remember when we negotiated with the north vietnamese to get out of the vietnam war, they would say anything and do anything to get the troops out, to get the u.s. out, once we were out it toppled the regime two years later, i think that's where the televangelist, say anything do anything, get the united states out and then come for the government, the difference is this north vietnam was not a threat to the united states, afghanistan is epicenter for radical islamic movements in southeast asia, that is a threat to the united states. >> can we contain that? >> the only way i believe even if we had a peace settlement between the taliban and the government i still think you need a small force with intelligence, counterterrorism capability at their disposal to make certain al-qaeda and isis do not do harm to the american

people. >> is that what the president proposed to keep a small counterintelligence group there to make sure they cannot threaten. >> i hope that's where this thing turns out the taliban will not agree to that, we'll see what kind of agreement, finally if we can get to that point, were months away from the struggle to get an agreement. >> you talked about the meeting, here he is in this discussion. >> we must stop this work, to we must find a solution to stop the war this is going to be will the taliban accept an election as a mechanism, the crucial mechani mechanism. >> when you talk to him do you think he's on the level.

>> he has a public face in a private concern, publicly supports this, certainly we do want peace and certainly he does, the afghan people and afghan security forces have suffered immensely as have we, but their numbers are staggering. he knows this, it could go to understand, for 18 years the people of afghanistan to 85% every single year reject the television, the television no the most unpopular in mankind, they could never participate in elections because they wouldn't win a single district, they want no part of the political process, he knows that and why he's put in publicly to make sure people in the stand will have a deal, the taliban gotta come in and participate in the political process and i don't see that happening. >> general who tells us like it is, thank you. thank you for your service as were reminded of our blood and treasure. good to see you.

will board charter flights back to the u.s., one of those flights will land at travis airport base in california, the other will go to the air force base in texas, once they arrive in the u.s., the passengers will have to go for today corn team, today japan announced another 70 coronavirus infections from the diamond princess cruise ship increasing the total number of cases to 355. 46 americans on the ship were infected with the virus, the u.s. embassy made the u.s. passengers on the diamond princess aware that the charter flights are the only option to fly to the u.s. before march 4 at the earliest, no one with symptoms of the virus will be allowed on the charter flight back to the u.s., an effort to stop the spread that is sweeping across mainland china and as for the passengers they evacuated right now, many are grateful to come back home. >> now that we get to go home

and think about getting back to the united states, we are excited in anticipating that, seeing our family even though it'll be two more weeks, were just ready for the next step on this crazy journey we have been taking and seeing what happens next. >> china reported 142 deaths in 2009 new cases of coronavirus in the previous 24 hours sunday, the rate of reported new cases has grown in the past three days, even though the death toll continues to rise, 68500 people have been infected in 1669 people have died worldwide in the majority of these cases being in mainland china, were also learning that an american woman who departed a crew ship in cambodia last week and flown to malaysia has been infected with the virus. >> thank you so much. >> joining us more is a doctor

from the professor of the national school of medicine at baylor college of medicine in houston. if i could start where kirstie no left off reporting about the 400 americans who have been corn teamed on the diamond princess cruise ship, some complaining about the way the evacuation has been handled, what could've been done differently and putting them on the same plane make things worse? >> thank you for having me, first of all those individual should never been kept on the ship, that ship became treacherous, we were seeing a number of people becoming infected on the ship due to the quarantine. it became a place where people were actively being exposed to the virus, it was not a safe place. i think what should've happened is those individuals should've been taken off the ship much sooner, the japanese should've

provided quarantine facilities on mainland just like what we do in the united states like the air force base, the japanese should've done that as well. so i think our nation did the right thing by getting those people out of there as quickly as they could and bringing them back to the united states. >> meanwhile speaking of the united states, cdc officials concerned that the coronavirus will spread in america? >> i lost you on the audio. >> can you still hear me, i'm asking if cdc officials are concerned that the coronavirus will spread in america? >> yeah very much, we heard from bob who is doing a terrific job, they assembled a terrific team with the secretary and assistant secretary in nancy at cdc and

doctor of course, that's really a terrific team and they came out and said last week that indeed we expect community transmission to begin in the virus to get a foothold. that will create some problems particular given the time of year, remember the flu season is still ongoing, were still seeing a big uptick in influenza and also we have measles come back to the united states last year and typically would occur around late winter or early spring, we have a very difficult situation where our public health leaders are going to be fighting three simultaneous epidemics. we have to take steps to mitigate that in the best way to make sure that americans get themselves vaccinated against the flu and up-to-date on measles. >> with the rise of the flu and the measles coming up, it's coinciding with the coronavirus

crisis, our doctors and walking clinics equipped to test for the coronavirus to diagnose and treat properly? >> we are rapidly getting up to speed, the tragedy is because the very aggressive anti-vaccine that we have in the united states, many families are opting out of getting the flu vaccines, we've seen 92 children die from influence of this year and the vast majority were not vaccinated despite recommendations and now the anti-boxes pushing making up stories and presenting misinformation about the measles vaccine that's why we had a measles epidemic. that's why the president did a terrific job putting a great team together to fight the coronavirus, the problem is if we asked them to fight three epidemics simultaneously it will be very challenging and i think we have to take the next step and push hard on americans to get their flu vaccine and make

sure their up-to-date on their vaccines otherwise it'll be impossible for the team to fight all three together as we move later into the winter and spring. >> in the meantime, if i were someone watching to go into a walk-in urgent care center or to my doctor's office, are they equipped to diagnose coronavirus and make the difference between coronavirus in the flu so they can treat it properly. >> they certainly have the capability to do rapid flu diagnosis, they know how to do measles diagnosis, the hard part will be getting all the diagnostic kits for coronavirus and whether you send that separately to the laboratory, i think this is what we are seeing now being put together is how to create the clinical algorithms so we can accurately triage

individuals who we think have a coronavirus. right now things are not too bad, we only have 15 cases in the united states. but if the cdc director is correct and the numbers start to turn up then we will have to put those things into play. >> so you are on top of it, you just don't have the answer coronavirus injection as of yet but you are working on it. >> that has to do with the vaccine, they have a great flu vaccine in measles vaccine, and the college of medicine at the children's hospital we developed a coronavirus vaccine but also hoping to get into clinical trials, there's several other vaccines out there but they still have to go through a lot of safety testing. so that will be a few months away and it'll be the hard part to try to battle this before we have a vaccine in hand.

that will be a struggle. >> thank you very much. >> i hope they get that up soon. the pressure is increasing on sanctuary cities. the trump administration and border patrol officers from the southern border up north. the take on the challenge and the streets. ♪w y first sandwich, your mammoth masterpiece, and whatever this was. oscar mayer is found in more fridges than anyone else, because it's the taste you count on. make every sandwich count. you look more like a heather.a. do you ever get that? it's nice to finally meet you in person.

law-abiding citizens to have the laws that protect them. that's why the administration is deploying the most elite highly trade border patrol agents to sanctuary cities to help ice, immigration and customs enforcement to detain people who are here illegally. >> were in a position where we get to pick and choose which laws we enforce, we enforce the law that congress has passed, we would enforce the new laws, we are enforcing the law every day with the border patrol or the interior the united states back president trump said last week, not one more american life should be stolen by sanctuary cities. the border agents will work with ice for the next several months reportedly in cities like new york, boston, chicago, san francisco and los angeles. the democratic leaders of those cities who say century city policies keep their city more safe because illegal immigrants are willing to work with the police without fear of arrest and say everyone is still welcome in their city.
