especially where candidate like buttigieg does buttening the best candidate to take sangders is is going to be bloomberg for the democrat i think that's who everyone is waiting to see enter the race and see how even stacks up. >> here's a list of the some of the moderate candidates, and we're going to the them up on screen trough mind everybody amy klobuchar joe bidenen. michael bloomberg these are opings that people have. here's nevada caucus and 21.5% for bernie sanders and 18 and a half for joe biden looking better in nevada but that's a poll from -- january to february 13th. i guess jason the question is -- democrats maintain that they're not nervous about beshes. bernie sanders but i think they really are. it is his to lose at this point. >> it is certainly looks that way and you know, i think you're right that some of the establishment democrats are nervous. they think you know maybe putting someone with bloomberg's experience you know forward

would be the right move. i disagree. i think we egowhere thing energy is, and energy has been behind bernie sanders entire time and i think that right wing is underestimating new voters and young voters who all favor bernie sanders. so i think that -- you know, there is, there are people with nerves and they're worried they didn't expect to lose in 2016 so they're worried that they're crying again on to -- in 2020. but if bernie wins but i disagree. >> what do you think what a do you think that in democrats are going to do about bernie? >> i think it bodes very well for republicans if bernie sanders is the nominee he's going to be labeled a communist already has been, and is going to really hurt the down ticket races because no one is going to want to be associated with that title. the american public is not are the for a socialist on communist candidate. so the democrats because there's 75 a% of them that are not necessarily following the sanders mantra i believe they're

all probably going to get behind bloomberg, and it will be a trump, bloomberg race ultimately. >> jason what about bloomberg records on race -- thing big article from the washington post about his comments about women in the past. how does he get past all of the, you know, pc people seem to be on left side of the country and win an election? [laughter] >> well you know, his record on race is deplorable it is despicable he said terrible things. he said terrible, you know, his record on homelessness and housing, is mixed and really bad if you look at the fact that 69% there was a 69% increase in homeslessness under his tenure. people like to blame thing on de blasio but a lot of that started under bloomberg. so i think he has a lot to answer for, and more of this is going to come out. you know, also his political donations to lindsey graham, and to rick snyder who was responsible for the flynt water

crisis, and steve king who said there are too many mosques in new york city. he's going to have to answer for those thing and i think it is not goapg to bode well particularly with young voters and african-american voters. sm he's been a member of every political party at this point and run gamut we're going to end with you. i want to ask you as far as michael bloomberg goes will democrats get behind him and able to say hey anything is better than donald trump. if he can win, let's just forget about his past. >> i think that's right rob. i think that the in democrats ae going to be behind any candidate they think can beat trump and a bloomberg campaign is formidable because of amount of money he's willing to spend and they're very organized -- i earlier this week put my name in on a facebook page just to see what happened for bloomberg, and immediately i was contacted by a field organize per, i hear they're paying field organizers extreme amounts of money for that job.

they're having freebies every where so he's a forked mid-able opponent. >> pile of cash like that thank you so much. we do appreciate your time. >> thanks, rob. >> thank you. hundreds are evacuating in mississippi for what could be state most devastating floods. the city of jackson submerged in water, the pearl river rising over 36 feet and expected top crest today. the governor declaring a state of emergency as officers go door to door to try to get people out. meteorologist jan sis dean is here live with an update on that forecast. sm so question get into the springtime in mississippi river valley is always a problem but starting to see that a little early this year, and it looks like pattern is going to to remain wet over some of these areas that are flood so let's take a look at past 24 hours to dry out a little bit but get our next batch of rain that of mous in later today you can see right now, so dry -- but as we take a look moving forward we're going get more rain in the forecast unfortunately because we've got
