that shirt. rob: i don't like that shirt. it's a valentine's day shirt. jillian: she wouldn't like that anyway. rob: you wouldn't want to get too dewey on valentine's day. that's not a good start. jillian: have a good day, everyone. steve: it is 6:00 in new york city. we start with a fox news alert. two flights carrying americans off a quarantine cruise ship in japan land in the united states overnight. >> hundreds of passengers spend the next two weeks in military bases nationwide. griff: aishah ha has any in the newsroom. some of them tested. >> flights didn't go as planned. at least 14 americans as you said now have the 14 virus it wasn't discovered until passengers were already on their way to the airport along with everyone else. first plane landed at travis air force base at 2:00 this morning.

second plane landing just a little bit ago about a half hour ago. san antonio. we don't know which plane or perhaps both have those new infected patients. but, we do know all 300 passengers will be under quarantine for the next two weeks. as for those passengers with the virus now, the state department explains that these individuals were moved in the most expeditious and safe manner to a specialized containment area on that evacuation aircraft. now, this is exactly why a lot of americans there did not want to leave the crews liner in the first place. about 400 of them have been quarantined on the diamond princess cruise ship off the coast of japan since february 5th. 46 americans were already infected. american lawyer and his wife refused to evacuate explaining to our neil cavuto that they felt safer aboard that ship. >> you know, they are getting off the ship to be in another space. but under this circumstance the offer is we're going to

put you on buses with other people who haven't completed their quarantine and have not been tested for the virus. >> now, there are about 71,000 confirmed cases worldwide. more than 1700 people have already died from this disease. back to you. steve: all right. thank you very much. >> you bet. steve: very troubling. lisa: i would say so, yeah. i was reading this article in foreign policy but how the incompetence of the chinese government has made this so much worse. steve: to contain. lisa: even the way they treated the original whistleblower who had warned his colleagues, the doctor in wuhan warned his colleagues, they reprimanded him by the police. made him sign a document saying he was spreading lies. everyone should read it. it was quite interesting. griff: people who go on crews typically family. one person sick, one is not the stress and impact of this is just now playing

out. i was waving the story of one man whose wife had to go to the hospital in japan. very difficult situation. steve: here in the new york city i heard on the radio this morning apparently the number of people who visit chinatown the neighborhood here in new york is way down because, and people are not going to chinese restaurants because they think there is a possibility even though there have been no recorded cases here in new york. lisa: interesting. steve: coming up, dr. saphier is going to do a fact or fiction quiz for us on coronavirus. you are going to want to hear that coming up very shortly. lisa: get all that information from her. steve: lead story last week was all about new hampshire and we were up in new hampshire. this weekend, the caucusing is going to go on in nevada. although it's ongoing. you can do it ahead of time, early voting and stuff like that. the number one question regarding nevada this week is whether or not michael bloomberg will actually be at the debate on wednesday night.

lisa: right. steve: he has one more day to qualify. and he needs to be at at least 10% in one more state or national poll. and he is so close, he is spending so much money, he could actually make it. and, finally, we will be able to see him up there with everybody else. lives his he has been crawling above that 10% he has to get. i think he will qualify. the question is will he show up. does he want to be on the debate stage? i think bloomberg's challenge he has pretty much been manufactured so far. steve: tightly controlled. controlled.his spending hundreds of -- imagine having that kind of cash -- hundreds of millions of dollars from polsters to consultants and manufacturing this man. we haven't seen him as a candidate. he hasn't been vulnerable and exposed. griff: scrutiny, right? other candace biden and sanders attacking him. looking back at back comments. here is the one today getting a lot of attention and perhaps not too kind if you are a former. listen to this 2016

flashback. >> can i teach everybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer. it's a process, you dig a hole and put a seed. in put water on top and up comes corn. you could learn that 300 years of the industrial society. put the piece of metal in the lake and turn the crank the direction of the arrow and can you have a job. we created a lot of jobs. the information economy is fundamentally different. it's built around replacing people with technology and the skill sets that you have to learn are how to think and analyze. and that is a whole degree level different. you have to have a different skill set. you have to have a lot more gray matter. steve: okay. so, as the former driveway centeformer claycenter fighter s

president myself. griff: do you feel offended. steve: all i can otherwise do is plant a hole and plant a seed. lisa: how condescending, steve. not you, him. steve: comparing this to hillary clinton and the deplorables and barack obama with the bitter clingers. donald trump jr. tweeted this out. bloomberg would not last three seconds as a farmer, but like his comments on minorities, you can really -- you can tell he really hates regular, hard-working americans. he will never fight for them because he couldn't care less about them. and then brit hume had the tweet of the day, i think. he says bloomberg seems to have acquired his knowledge of farming by watching he hee haw. griff: he has the resources, undeniably the most money. is he too elitist and can he be seen as someone that will speak for people like farmers.

people like blue collar workers. how does he reach them and get them on his side. lisa: we got the answer, he cannot connect to them. it's ironic, too. because hillary clinton has been floated as a potential running mate, which one, have you got to win the nomination to get to that point. what a perfect summation of who bloomberg is that he would look to someone like hillary clinton who is the only other person equally out of touch with hard-working americans as he is. that's his challenge. i don't think he is going to end up being the democratic no, ma'am to me. we want to hear what you at home have to say. email us at friends@foxnews.com. what do you think of this comment and bloomberg's chances? we want to hear from you. griff: he should go to a nascar race. lisa: there you go. steve: how many people at the daytona 500 yesterday were there to see the biggest day in racing for the year and were disappointed that there was a rain delay they are going to kick things off later on today didn't do it. take a look. that is ladies and gentlemen, the president's

limousine the beast was flown in. if you saw it yesterday you had to stop and watch. it was something nobody has ever seen. donald trump became the first sitting president to ever take a lap at the daytona 500. griff: it produced the most amazing thing. i was watching from a bar having a cheeseburger in the afternoon yesterday. lisa: sounds like a good day. griff: unaware that this might be happening. here behind me just looks up to the tv is trump in a nascar race. that was the lap he took. after he addressed them so he added to his biography new additional title grand marshall having the honors to kick him off and here is a little bit of what the president said as he kicked off america's great race. >> daytona international speedway we love our country and truly an honor to be with you at the great american race. gentlemen, start your engines.

steve: then, after that it was about 15 minutes. and h finally got into the beast. he had to stay down on the apron. because the angle of the roadway given the fact that the beast weighs 22,000 pounds. they weren't just sure it would slide over or slide off or down. lisa: exactly. give an idea to folk as the home what this meant. here is jeff gordon fox commentator talking about it, listen. >> people ask me, do you mist it? havare you jealous of those competitors out there today, i am. i would love to be in this daytona 500 today. this is just so special. lisa: how cool is that? can you even imagine being there at this moment watching this happen, having the president of the united states there, what a cool moment and he was met with cheers of four more years. people were clearing enjoying the moment and thinking it was very cool. griff: imagine being one of the drivers in the 40 car

field. not everyone agrees with you, lisa. colleagues in the media, show you what kelly o'donnell, nbc white house correspondent had this to say this was an official white house event therefore paid by taxpayers as donald trump flotus attended the daytona 500 today the beast limo ran a pace car around the track. here is what she says at a restaurant. trump daytona 500 comes on the tv. i literally don't know whether to laugh or cry or scream or cy. all we are going to go with is all. lisa: i remember katie hill but not great things. steve: if you were in attendance and watched the big day it was something you would always remember. if you were in attendance yesterday you would remember when you saw air force one coming in it was 800 feet above. that angle makes it look like they pretty much

clipped the lights there. keep in mind, the daytona international airport is just on the other side of the street. so they came, in, there you are right across the street. then he came over in the beast. took a lap. said start your engines, and that was something. and, keep in mind, do you think it had anything to do with the fact that he is running for re-election? because i have a feeling everybody in attendance yesterday is going to do the math and remember that they were a part of history. lisa: this is why i think the media loses their mind with president trump. he is a showman, right? like he understands what people at home, he understands what they want to see. he has these big moments. we even saw what he did with the fourth of july. things like this. let's take a listen to what he had to say about the impact of all of this. >> 500 is a legendary display of roaring engines, soaring spirits of the american skill, speed, and power that we have been hearing about for so many

years. the tens of thousands of patriots here today have come for the fast cars and the world class motorsports. but nascar fans never forget that no matter who wins the race, what matters most is god, family, and country. [cheers and applause] lisa: you listen to those cheers. you should note this is a 200,000 person field. this is a gigantic crowd that he is addressing. and i am sure they would love to have him come back and this resumes today at 4:00 here on the fox news channel. steve: he is going to be busy. but, in addition to the fact that there were chants of u.s.a., u.s.a. there were also chants of four more years, four more years. lisa: also chants for jillian mele or was that just here? jillian: tell me more. [laughter] steve: good morning. jillian: good to see you guys and see you steve. let's start off with this. the judge handling the roger

steve: about a quarter after the top of the hour on this federal holiday that we are all working. coming up, an ice agent was murdered in cartel ambush in mexico. why did two of his killers just get their murder convictions vacated? griff: and hillary clinton's white house dream may not be over. the new sign michael bloomberg may choose her as his running mate. what do you think? steve: just getting good. ♪ 'cause i am a champion ♪ and you're gonna hear me roar ♪ louder ♪ louder than a lion ♪ ♪

don't cause unnecessary anxiety and pandemonium. lisa: take us through this. >> do you think this can be contagious when you don't have symptoms? steve: yes. >> absolutely. you are right. you can be contagious up to 14 days before you even develop symptoms. if you have been around any sick contacts but you feel okay, you can't assume that maybe you don't have it. this goes for common cold and flu by the way. what about this? kind of already spoiled this one. but do you think that the coronavirus can be transmitted or covid 19 can be transmitted person-to-person? griff: yes. >> right. one of the things interesting about coronavirus it tends to be animal based. they are linking it to probably came from animals in a seafood market and then infected humans. now what we are seeing is human-to-human transmission. only one of that in the united states. very close contact, the spouse of someone who had actually been in the wuhan area. lisa: there is a top official from the national institute of health who said that we are on the verge of

this pandemic because containment has been an issue. why has that been so difficult for health officials. >> first of all, you have to think where this started out. in china in a very densely populated area and there is a mass population there when the infection started. and they didn't know about it. so people were going around and infecting others before it even brought light to anybody. and the chinese officials, we think -- we assume that they have been under estimating or underreporting cases. lisa: intentionally or unintentionally. >> hard to say. we know with sars they did leave out information. this time they go d. give us the genetic sequencing much sooner. i would like to say they did a better job but it's hard to say. griff: i would love to hear your answer i should go out and get a mask? >> far majority of medical masks are not going to prevent things. people are all going and buying these masks and actually running out of them. the truth is those masks you will buy in your local drugstore aren't going to protect from you viruses for

the most part. need a special n-95 mask. you have to be fit for. i happen to have one. when you work in a hospital you have one. the truth is wash your hands. stay away from sick contacts. don't go on a cruise. certainly not going to china. the trump administration has already declared this a public health emergency. they limited travel for those that could be infected. bringing home american citizens and keeping them in containment. doing everything they can to contain this in the united states. steve: while people are going to the grocery store and drugstore and buying all the paper mask was that people that actually need them can't buy because they are running out of them. they are getting closer to a vaccine? when are we talking about being able to go over to duane reed or cvs and getting a shot? >> it's not going to happen any time soon. millions of dollars being poured into a vaccine they are estimating clinical trials won't even begin for the next few months. that won't be the save all. hand hygiene stop transmission. is going to save us all from this virus.

to the state of the union address and the president said that the unemployment rates for african-americans, asians, hispanics is at an all-time low. like sun flight dracula representative rashida tlaib ran out of the house chamber away from the facts that america is doing better. it's an unbelievable time in our country. trump amo aomics is working. from the great society trying to get what we are getting today. that's measures are back to work. families are blessed and better and because of that, our communities are better, steve. steve: right. you know, mark, part of it is probably is the fact that during the obama administration work requirements were instituted by the obama administration but it wasn't until donald trump came along that they actually instituted it. and so now those people

between 18 and 49, without children or dependents, who get food stamps for more than three months, must go to school, receive job training or volunteer to get food stamps. so, in other words, if you want that, you are going to have to work for it. do you think that's a good idea? >> well, it's absolutely a good idea. there is an old book called the bible that says a man shall not eat if he doesn't work. let's remember that under bill clinton we had welfare-to-work. obama suspended it. and now we have got people who are working again and it's a social contract. you should work in exchange for that benefit. absolutely and i'm glad for those families. steve: all right. mark, let's also talk about michael bloomberg. he is surging. he is also, you know, spending a boat load of dough on tv commercials all across the country. here is part of his labor plan. he would like to see $15 minimum wage, 12 weeks family paid leave.

seven days of paid sick leave and prohibit right-to-work laws. you know, when you look at the states, six states in the district of columbia have already passed minimum wage bills. what's happened in those states which could be a precursor so what could happen across the country? >> well, absolutely, steve. first, let me say 61% of u.s. economists polled oppose the minimum wage increase. mr. stop and frisk bloomberg's policies are bad for black people and they're bad for women. his nanny state mentality for freedom and growth in america. in los angeles, in seattle and in san francisco, they have tried this hike and respectfully, 3%, 2%, 1% employment has decreased. reality is that the 15% -- i'm sorry the $15 minimum increase does not work. it puts small businesses out of business in many cases. because they support

businesses holler automate these entry level jobs and absolutely run small businesses out of the sectors. let me also say that it's the marginalized who are fired first. when businesses have these increase in expenses, they have to respond to that. and oftentimes they cut in to personnel. and the marginalized women, low skilled, and blacks are the first to go. this policy is antiwoman and antiblack people, unfortunately. steve: all right. mark little joining us today from los angeles. mark, thank you for joining us on this president's day. >> good to be with you. steve: thank you very much. 28 minutes now before the top of the hour. president trump taking his car, the beast, for a spin around the track down in daytona yesterday as revved up the fans for the daytona 500. dan bongino was assigned to the transportation unit of the secret service. his reaction to that assignment coming up next on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

used to live upstairs at my house that apparently the secret service assigned 500 people to the event yesterday. so there was a lot of manpower involved in making sure the president was safe. was it worth it? >> oh, 100 percent. i don't know but. but i was watching that yesterday. and i got up and i was -- i popped a salute. you want to talk about liberal heads exploding everywhere. think of all this amalgamation thing in this pot, patriotism, fast cards cars, american muscle, pride, love of america, president trump. all these things liberals can't stand. this was such a great day. and the singing of the national anthem beforehand it was just such phenomenal event. i have to tell you i love my job now and working with you guys and ladies, lisa, severing great. one thing yesterday, damn, it would have been great to be back in the secret service. what a day. lisa: dan, about that. so you used to work in the

another story. sending a reporter off talking to you. media issues. one of them was while many were watching the daytona 500. others were signing a petition urging attorney general barr to resign over the sentencing of roger stone. it appears is that 8 of the signatures were media analysts. your reaction? >> well, let's just say bill barr is probably laughing at these idiots right now. they are former doj people for a reason. if you look back under the obama administration and their hiring practice. christian adams has done some great work on this when he was over at doj. although you are legally not allowed to ask party affiliation when you hire people for those jobs, griff. it was clear based on the resumes of people obama's hired in the doj attorneys and otherwise. they were hard core leftist a lot of them. it shouldn't be surprising to any of them now that they are former. and by the way they should keep their mouths quiet. nothing illegally happening right now.

bill barr made a decision about grotesque decision of sentencing guidelines and made a decision as the steward of the elected president of the united states. i mean, that's just what happens. appointed official approved by the senate. if you don't like it, then elect someone else next time. lisa: why has this gotten so much attention then? >> well, because the left is psychotic, lisa. i don't have any easy explanation for what's going on right now. why does the left -- better way to phrase this. why do they keep stepping on rakes? why do they think this is helping? you had obvious egregious sentence. come on. nine years for roger stone. you don't have to like roger stone. to be fair, i know roger. i have met him in meetings he is down here in south florida with me i see him a lot. i'm not personal friends with hill. i don't know roger. he went through the justice system but nine years for someone with no criminal history. you want this guy to die in prison? let's just be candid. the left is all in on the police state right now and government spying.

my wife and daughter went to florida for a kick get away. what are you doing? email us at friends@foxnews.com. steve: you were left at home. griff: exactly. wouldn't want to be anywhere else today. lisa: a lot to cover today. right now democrats ramping up calls for new investigation into attorney general bill barr as 2020 election nears. griff: more than 1,000 doj alumni and media and analysts condemning how the roger stone case was handled. steve: kristin fisher live at the white house with reaction from lawmakers. we have heard a lot from both sides of the aisle about whether or not roger stone got an appropriate sentence. >> indeed we have. but so far still no public reaction from president trump over this petition signed yesterday by more than 1,000 former doj employees. essentially calling on the attorney general bill barr to resign over the way that he has handled the stone case. now, this petition is pretty

long, but it reads in party, quote. mr. barr's actions in doing the president's personal bidding, unfortunately, speak louder than his words. now, these former doj employees are essentially accusing barr of political interference by lowering the prison sentence recommendation for the president's long time associate. four doj prosecutors quit the case over it. now democrats want barr to either testify, resign, or both. >> i would be glad if he resigned. i don't think that's realistic. i would also like him to come to the senate. so we can probe him on the role of the president in trying to influence decisions in the department of justice. >> now, so much of this hinges on the tweet that president trump put out. barr said that it's exactly those kinds of tweets that make it impossible for me to do my job. but listen to how the white house is defending those kinds of tweets. here is kellyanne conway just yesterday. >> he didn't have a conversation with bill barr

about the roger stone case. he had a conversation with the whole world. he expresses himself. cuts out the middleman. i know the middle men don't like that where he tells everybody what he thinks on a number of issues. including the stone case. >> as of now, stone is set to be sentenced on thursday. but as you all know, that can always change and there are definitely signs that it could be delayed. back to you guys in the studio. lisa: thanks, kristin. steve: by the way, kristin, so the garage at the white house is empty? because i saw the president's car in florida going around the track. >> did you see that? i know whoovment a speck thaspecspectacle.unfortunately y vantage point, i can't quite see the garage. that's off limits to me. hey, i enjoyed the show like everyone else. steve: no kidding. steve: regarding bill b.a. if you watched his interview with the abc chief justice

correspondent pierre thomas last week, barr said very clearly that the u.s. attorney for washington, d.c. came in and said i'm thinking seven to nine years there are other circumstances we can talk about later. barr said i think that's too much. we're going to talk about it tomorrow. so then he is watching the news, and he sees that this has made news. that it's going to be up to nine years and barr goes that's not what we talked about. we need to assemble the staff first thing in the morning and we need to clarify our statement. so barr was against the seven to nine years from the get-go. but then the president put out a tweet the next day and it looked to some as if the president was trying to influence the attorney general, when, in fact, he had already made up his mind it was too many years. griff: it's interesting because we had the last hour dan bongino talking about this. and he made this analogy of stepping on a rake and hitting you in a face and giving you some of that perspective that's a good point, steve. ultimately judge amy behrman

jackson who has tenure will make the decision regardless of tweets and influence from anybody else. once that's done. that's not going to change. and dan bongino was blasting the calls for barr's resignation. here is some of what he had to say. >> bill barr is probably laughing at these idiots right now. they are former doj people for a reason. why does the left -- better way to phrase why do they keep stepping on rakes? why do they think this is helping? you had an obvious egregious sentence, come on. nine years for roger stone. you don't have to like roger stone. nine years for someone with no criminal history? you want this guy to die in prison? let's just be candid. the left is all in on the police state right now. and government spying. they just are. lisa: i think this is the dumbest thing in the entire world. look, first of all, it is a recommendation from the doj. it's up to the court to determine what the actual sentencing will look like. secondly, if anyone was actually concerned about political interference, maybe be concerned fbi

literally used opposition research to go after carter page when the cia said it was basically akin to an internet rumor? so maybe be concerned there and the fact that the inspector general found 17 errors and omissions all going in the direction of hurting president trump. i think this entire thing is so overblown and it we dick columbus and demonstrates media bias. i have some thoughts on that. steve: yes, you do. here's the thing. if the judge does not make it nine years as the original prosecutor. lisa: insane. steve: of course it's insane when you take a look at comparatively what people get 10 years for. unless she gives them him, that amount of time, people in the mainstream media are going to be going like oh, look, the president worked on her, too. griff: and now you -- you would think this would be completely consuming the 2020 democratic field. but it's not. they are, of course, calling for resignation. also turning their attention

on bloomberg. the other billionaire the democrats are so worried about. and up until very recently, frontrunner nationally, former vice president joe biden was attacking bloomberg because of course, biden is now trying to get the african-american support. is he banking on that. to rescue his struggling campaign. here is a little bit of what biden has had to say over the weekend. attacking bloomberg. listen. >> $60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising. but it can't erase your record. there's a lot to talk about michael bloomberg. his position on issues relating to the african-american community from stop and frisk to the way he talked about obama. i mean. >> has it donned on you that two of your biggest rivals one is a not a member of the democratic party yet and the other was a republican about five or six years ago? >> yeah. no, it doesn't surprise me. >> what does that say about the state of today's democratic party? >> i think whether a it says is money, billions of dollars can take you a long, long way.

and it says that it's going to be awful hard to go out and win those, the base support of the democratic party. lisa: i am so, steve, you had mentioned earlier if bloomberg ends up on the debate stage on the 19th this week. it will be fascinating if he is. but, biden is trying to go after bloomberg on somebody stop and frisk and things like that. as you mentioned he wants to secure that african-american vote in south carolina. a lot of it, all the top contenders all have their own issues with this. you have joe biden, he supported the 1994 federal crime bill. he helped write it. that was an issue for hillary clinton in 2016. amy klobuchar's record former prosecutor has come under scrutiny as well. and then you look at pete buttigieg who has had racial tensions in south bend. it will be interesting to see if any of those other frontrunners try to go after bloomberg on this and how they approach it. steve: i want to see bloomberg on the stage. apparently he has until tomorrow to qualify on the state or national poll,

third one, above 10%. because i want to see them all together. amy klobuchar said yesterday, let's get them on the stage. because some people in some states and if you watch cable tv you see the bloomberg ad all the time. that's all they see of him. they don't see him in a live situation. i would love to see him for two hours unscripted with all the other candidates mixing it up. because, right now, we just got those little 30-second madison avenue spots where he looks terrific. griff: i' m going to get up off this couch this afternoon and head to nevada for the show. what bloomberg is going to bring is serious competition to the moderate lane. we know what bernie sanders is going to say on that stage. we have seen biden, klobuchar, buttigieg via for the moderate lane. we had bloomberg releasing for a budget plan and put some of these ideas forward. irregardless of whether he is on that stage or not, is he commanding headlines, not only with the ad buys but

dropping things. on saturday i read on drudge report that bloomberg is thinking about picking hillary clinton for his vice president. i did a double take and read it again that doesn't seem like something that would possibly happen. of course, we had the tape playing last hour of hillary clinton telling ellen no way, you know. i turned barack obama down twice. i would never want to do it. whatever. it's generating these headlines. >> i have got news for you guys, if we had hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on paid advertising. we would all look phenomenal. of the challenge for bloomberg, they would make us look really good. challenge for bloomberg is when you actually hear him unfiltered. when you hear those comments he made so dismissive and demeaning about farmers. that's what he really thinks about most americans. that's what he really thinks about people in iowa and when you get him on a stage, he ends up on the debate stage, i think he is going to fall apart and implode. also, one other quick thing to think about. president trump when he ran in 2016 was outspent by his competitors in the primary

election. hillary clinton spent more than double, and he still won. bloomberg has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and he is just trying to meet the mere threshold of 10% to get into the debate. steve: right. one of the things that trump did back in 2016. he wound up using the media so effectively for free advertising. essentially getting on all the shows and talking to people about stuff. but, think about how much free advertising despite the fact that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars already, michael bloomberg got over the weekend with the suggestion that hillary clinton could be his running mate. it's just floating out there, folks. however, the top republican in the congress had this observation about if hillary were on the ticket, it would mean. this. >> bloomberg realizes he cannot win the nomination against bernie without cheating. so is he going to bring hillary in, because, remember, hillary cheated bernie last time to win the nomination. the chair of the party had to resign the night before the convention because they

were caught. steve: oh, man. regarding the caucuses in nevada, which are this weekend and there is some -- they could actually do early voting with the caucuses in nevada. griff: already started. steve: reading in the "washington post" this morning apparently officials are alarmed. trouble is looming. apparently having problems with the software. lisa: oh, lord. steve: and it could be a disaster according to "the washington post." griff: las vegas review journal had a big story this morning saying many of the people in the caucuses say that they haven't had the proper training for this new shift. they are not going to do the app. used in iowa. it's already sizing up to be a bit of a mess. do you know who is always prepared and trained is jillian for those headlines. jill gizelle i am usually a mess though. we all are. good morning guys. get you caught one this fox news alert now. two flights carrying americans off a quarantined cruise ship in japan land in the u.s. the first plane landing at travis air force base in

what would i do if i tell you just for today a little quieter story about why i fight. jillian: the senator could barely talk. warren still took self-yes with supporters following the event. and then there is. this drunk in love. a man is arrested for two duis on valentine's day. check out his shirt. in the mugshot reading happy valentine's day. first he was charged and released after driving the wrong way. he was busted again 18 hours later driving too slow. he has now been detained and is due in court today. lisa: still celebrating have valentine's day. not very loving. jillian: the neck is so stretched out. i can't get over that. lisa: i didn't notice that now it's probably all i'm going to see. jillian: that's all i see on it. lisa: thank you. steve: he needs a new shirt. thanks for the upday.

lisa: he has other things to work on. griff: that's for sure. coming up, gun rights activist confront michael bloomberg in virginia. watch.

i have a big announcement coming up at 2:00 today. but in regards to bloomberg. you know, he started as you mentioned back in 2013, trying to use all of his money to influence virginia elections. we have seen it time and time again. in fact, i introduced a constitutional amendment that would actually limit campaign funds from coming into virginia to influence our virginia elections. griff: senator, i don't want to you bury the lead because you said you have a big announcement. before we get to that i want to ask you as a virginian you have, perhaps, a better perspective. what would a bloomberg presidency mean for second amendment rights nationwide. >> well, here's the thing you need to realize. he spent $2.5 million in virginia elections. compare that to the nra that only spent $300,000. bloomberg is interested in restricting law abiding citizens ability to protect themselves. disarming law-abiding citizen.

i have republicans, democrats, and independents reaching out to my office saying what in the world is going on. every town for gun safety is an acronym for we are going to come and grab your guns. that's what that is about. griff: senator, you feel so strong about this that you are actually, from what rumors say, going to announce today that you will run as a republican for governor of virginia. >> well, there is certainly a rumor. we are going to confirm any type of speculation and rumors at 2:00 today at the virginia capital in the old senate chamber there. we have a big announcement today at 2:00. i'm willing to lead the effort to fight it attack on our constitutional rights not only second amendment but the first amendment. if you support mike bloomberg that's what you can expect in your state. is he going to take away your rights. griff: would you like to send mike bloomberg a message now by announcing

right here. >> well, i'm going to tell mike bloomberg take his money and keep it in new york. virginia doesn't want his money. he has already tried in new york and virginia. we are done. we don't like it at all. and that's going to happen across the country. we have got to put an end to it. griff: we will be watching at 2:00 p.m. to see if you jump in the race. please keep us posted on the situation there in virginia. appreciate it senator chase, thank you. >> thanks for having me on. griff: coming up. a fox news alert. americans quarantined from a cruise ship. problems not over yet. live report minutes away. more than a dozen candidates looking to unseat aoc. coming up a panel of her rivals on why they're taking on the fire brand democrat ♪ this is my fight song ♪ take back my life song ♪ prove them all right song ♪ the best of pressure cooking and air frying are now in one pot.

the district includes like -- if you bronx never been there even in jackson heights where her office is mostly rare cases comes into the community. steve: all right. john, what do you think? >> that's true. she is not really around the community. in fact, she does have a desk in another office holder's office in the bronx. and the desk is not -- steve: like a timeshare? >> pretty much. >> it's not in the district. it's actually just outside the district. she is really out of touch with the people who live in the district. steve: sherri rewhen you say when you go around the district people don't know who she is. >> they don't. they are frankly appalled by the rhetoric she is championing on the national level from the green new deal to the new way forward act. new immigration imcongratulation that she has co-sponsored. these ideas are dangerous. they are going to hurt the quality of life for queens and bronx residents. steve: one of the things that is top of line for you regarding her is the fact

that, you know, she led the protest against amazon and all those jobs never came to new york. >> absolutely. and i think that hurt the congressional district 14 because it's just not -- it's very immigrant-based community. all those indirect jobs so necessary for our community just for that district. not only for congressional district 14 but also affected the city, too i think. steve: sure. badrun's point earlier she is not a democratic. she a socialist. when she is out campaigning for bernie sanders across the river when bernie sanders had a rally, 25,000 people showed up. largely because aoc was going to be there. so she is a rock star with a lot of people. >> she is with the socialist left, that's absolutely true. you talk about her absenteeism. we have a parade, a veterans day parade i was at the parade and where was she? she was in iowa with bernie sanders. she much prefers that national spotlight but

completely ignores the people in district 14. >> at this point i was recently in the district too town hall with clark on bail reform. and the community is up in arms about this dangerous policy she is always m.i.a. the co-located bronx office is a slap in the face considering that she just opened her campaign offices both in queens and the bronx just recently, steve. steve: ultimately, what it comes down to, is new york ready for somebody with, you know, now that people have seen what her policies are, after the last two years, when the next election comes up, will she be reelected? you all want to make sure that doesn't happen. >> absolutely. she is absent in the district now and she got crowley out because he was absent in the district. but i have been a long time community leader serving queens and i hope to be duly elected so i can represent the district. there are quality of life issues that we need to

tackle as a representative and quite frankly she is more concerned about fame and the limelight and her show time gigs than she is about the residents of the district. >> well, one thing that we have to say that even though she says she is from bronx, how many days of the week when she ever comes back she comes in and deals with the community? we have loss in jobs. we have problems in schools. we have problems -- homeless shelter problems. we have a lot of issues in our community that needs to be addressed. who is addressing them? how is she addressing them? and a as they said she is too busy doing the presidential walk around right now instead of effecting and helping her communities. steve: we have problems from the new york city. the front page is how the squeegee guys are back on the streets. >> yes. >> the bail reform issue. just in the 4 or 5 precinct i live district 14. in the week ending february 9th. robbery is up -- burglaries

up 33%. felony assaults 47%. grand larceny auto up 225%. that type of legislation in the congresswoman said, you know, it's only been 5 minutes. it's been 8 weeks. and it's having a bad effect on our community and all communities around the state. steve: great discussion. >> i mean, just -- it's a crime spike in the 14th congressional district in the two precincts that commands the area. we're concerned about our safety. >> also something that effects mostly -- i'm for the bill reform but i think it has to be tweaked. most of the minorities would actually help the minorities and that's what it is. we need to tweak it a little bit because it has increase in crime but some way we have to have more effective to see how cannot increase the crime how can it help the minorities. steve: yeah. the story is about the people who rob banks week after week after week are a little crazier. badrun, ron and sherie, thank you.

>> thank you for having us. steve: sparked the recline debate now the woman wants to press charges of the guy back behind her whose face we have obscured. she is going to join us live next. the president made historic laugh at the daytona 500 yesterday.

daytona 500 in special ride, griff. >> limo known as the beast taking historic lap around the track. grand marshal receiving cheers and standing ovation from the crowd. >> that's pretty cool. it was one of the highlights of the day before rain postponed the race after just 20 laps. the drivers will restart their engines today on fox rain delay not damping the excitement for some fans. he joins us live from daytona international speedway. you could have told them there was going to be rain yesterday. that's your department. >> i know. there was actually more rain than i had forecast. that's why the race got so delayed. i will tell you what, started off with incredible excitement out here with the president come in. and when he arrived. air force one flew over the stayed jump here and the stands. over 100,000 people cheering. it was really a lot of

excitement. got a chance to talk to a lot of people about it to see what their impression was of the entire experience in having the president here. take a listen to what they had to say. >> it was exhilarating to have him so close. i love trump. he's awesome. he is like my hero. it was just incredible to have him so close. >> i love it. i think it's great he was out here. rick: what could you tell about the energy in the crowd when the president was announced and introduced? >> phenomenal. it started when air force 1 flew by and everybody saw the jet it. just started. you could feel the crowd energy pick up. >> i got chills. rick: what did you think about having the president here. >> awesome. >> it was awesome. >> it was imagine i magnificent. oh my god what a great jet. it was awesome. everybody stood up. we all cheered. this is huge, huge. i have never seen a president come to nascar in all the years we have been watching. this is awesome. rick: that was pretty much the overwhelming opinion of everybody here in the

stands. really great experience for these nascar fans to be able to experience the president up close. guys? griff: hey, rick, you know, i was on the weekend talking to you. you were talking to a lot of the drivers. they all seemed to love rick reichmuth which is really cool. what did the drivers think about the president being there. >> yeah, you know what? basically after that we didn't talk to any of the drivers after that. a lot of them took to social media and put some of their images, their pictures with the president up on twitter. take a look at what clint bauer had to say. he said not going to lie. i had no idea what to expect. the man walked in and shook all of our hands. took selfies and whatever we asked of him. i judge people on how they treat me and the others i'm with. that's why i really appreciated meeting potus. thanks for coming to daytona 500. another haley this is up and coming driver, 18-year-old female driver big bright future here also had tweeted that she wanted to get a picture taken with the president and get him to sign her helmet. and it worked. she got that picture. we actually saw her in the

media center afterwards with her driver's helmet and she was incredibly excited for that drivers and fans alike excited. not excited about the delay of the race. got 20 laps in, another 180 to go. and that starts today on fox at 4:00. lisa: not a bad assignment rick. that's pretty cool. great job. griff: good stuff. steve: all right. meanwhile by now, have you probably seen online this video of a man repeatedly hitting the back of a passenger's reclined plane seat, right? griff: the woman in that video now wants to press charges. and she says there is even more to this story than what was caught on camera. lisa: that passenger wendy williams joins us now. hi, wendy. >> hi, how are you? lisa: you were flying from new orleans to charlotte. take us back to the flight. what happened? >> i was leaving a teacher's

conference. and we got onto the plane and the man behind me, as soon as we got in the air i reclined. and he asked me if i would not, you know, i would put my seat back up while he ate. which i did. and then about 10 minutes later, he was done and i put my seat back down at which point he started full on punching the back of my seat really hard that i was flying forward. so at that point, i, you know, i was trying to get the flight attendant's attention. and she wasn't responding. so, all i could think to do was to video the guy and maybe i thought that would stop him. so i got my video or my phone out and i started videoing him and at the beginning you will see he says something to me like

what were you doing? i asked you to put your seat up while i ate. and then as soon as i was done you relined again? and i thought you know, i did exactly what you asked. and then you started punching me. there was no conversation in between that and the punching. so, when i put my phone up, and i thought i'm just going to keep videoing this guy because nobody else was doing anything. and i thought he would completely stop but he continued throughout. as you can see just poking like it was nothing compared to what he was doing prior. but it did -- lisa: what steps are you taking? you consulted with an attorney. you know, what steps are you taking now? are you going to sue? >> that is it as far as the steps that i have taken thus far. i am just consulting with an attorney. i have spoken to him. he is an aviation lawyer. and he and i are going to sit down this week and

decide what we want to do because i just feel like i have been -- like the hits just kept on coming literally and figuratively from the guy and the flight attendant when she finally did come around, she didn't -- she had an attitude with me and said what? i said the guy behind me is repeatedly hitting me. and she went back to him like changed personalities and was the kindest person in the world and said oh, are you okay? it's really tight back here. i'm sorry. and then she said to me. delete the video. i thought why delete the video? she walked away and they started drink service and they got to me, she said that -- she made sure that the other flight attendant, i guess, quote, unquote, dealt with me. and i quickly declined my complimentary drink and listened to what was

happening behind me and. steve: it is shocking. everybody feels for you with this. and american airlines did put out a statement. we are aware of a customer dispute that transpired on american eagle flight 4392, operated by republic airways on january 31st. the safety and comfort of our customers and team members is our top priority. and our team is looking into the issue. so, while the flight attendant did nothing to stop that, then have you officially heard from anybody in american airlines saying, you know what? we dropped the ball on this. we should have been back there and asked that guy to stop. we should have moved to you another seat. we could have done a million things. >> i heard from them and a few -- this was after everything went viral. steve: yeah. >> i tried to talk to them via email. and, you know, i sent them the video in its entirety and tried to let them know that this was not okay. and they basically gave me

a, you know, that same statement like we try train our employees to do x, y and z that didn't happen. steve: have you heard from that guy? >> no. i wish he would come out of woodwork. lisa: he might now. griff: he can come right here if he wants to. wendy williams, thank you. lisa: thank you for being with us. >> thank you. lisa: it's the rendezvous that was never meant to be public. the journalist who broke the story on the clinton-lynch tarmac meeting new details on what actually went down. he joins us live next. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

lisa: it was the tarmac meeting that rocked 2016 secretly seeming rond day between bill clinton and loretta lynch. if you thought that story was laid to rest. think again. steve: grand new book from the journalist who broke this story revealing explosive new information about the encounter. here now is the author of secret on the tarmac christopher sign. chris, good morning to you. >> great to be here with you. thanks for having me. steve: all right. so, from the get-go, this just didn't add up, did it. >> not at all. when i broke this story, we knew that something had occurred here that was a bit

unusual. it was a planned meeting. it was not a coincidence. it was planned. it happened and this details everything that they don't want you to know and everything they think you forgot. but bill clinton was on that plane for 20 minutes. and it wasn't just about golf, grand kids kids, break the. there is so much that doesn't add up. and even as time has passed there is so much that i think even loretta lynch and bill clinton have forgotten. steve: how do you know it was planned? hey looks our planes are next each other. >> i have a source that walks me from point a to b to z and my source saw it all. when bill clinton arrived at the airport. he waited. he knew loretta lynch was taxing. the plane was moving. he sat and waited in his car with the motorcade. her air stairs come down. most of the staff gets off. he then gets on as the secret service and fbi are figuring out how in the world are we supposed to handle this? what are we supposed to do? this story isn't about right or left, republican, democrat. it's about right and wrong and journalism. and that was my focus of

this. it's about real journalism getting to the facts. lisa: why do you think this doesn't get more attention then? you look at the way attorney general bill barr is being treated now. and the way the trump administration has been treated. you think this would be worthy of more attention that it received and also more scrutiny. why didn't it get that. >> you and i are on the same page on this. as journalist you have to ask yourself why are people not delving into this? why are we not look into exactly what happened. loretta lynch in december of '18 she went before house judiciary committee house oversight committee, excuse me, and testified and in there she mentioned that bill clinton flattered her. talked about eric holder, talked about how things were going at justice. talked about her job performance. just golf, grandkids, brexit. lisa: you paid the price for this career-wise. what kind of threats or what have you received. >> my family received significant death threats shortly after breaking this story. credit cards hacked. you know, my children, we have code words.

we have secret code words that they know what to do. that's why i came back to wbma, abc 3340 in birmingham. when i was enduring the death threats it was my former alabama football family and teammates and coaches who circled around me. steve: read all about it. get the book right now, "secret on the tarmac" christopher sign.com. >> and amazon as well. lisa: thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, straight ahead on this monday, country music star john rich once performed the national anthem at the daytona 500. today he is here to talk about the significance of president trump's visit to the track as you can see. john is next ♪ higher than the carolina ♪ (howling wind) ...

florida aren't they? steve: they're working their way back. i can't keep up. they just do their own thing. like do you know where dad is? brian: well i know where you're going. you'll go back to washington and do laundry and straight to nevada. steve: because on saturday, it's going to be the nevada caucus, and they are already worried that the technology that screwed up in iowa, there could be a repeat performance in nevada as well, and in the meantime, michael bloomberg, the big speculation, is whether or not, he will, by tomorrow, be high enough in a state or national poll, above 10% so that he would qualify and be on the debate stage on wednesday night, out in las vegas, and finally, we could see the money bags candidate up against everybody else. >> lisa: that would really be remarkable because so far all we've seen from michael bloomberg is this manufactured version of the candidate, he's really been heighting behind hundreds of millions of dollars in paid advertising, that are

comprised by political consultants and polsters, so you really haven't seen michael bloomberg and then we get these glimpse of the unfiltered michael bloomberg. we saw these clubs making the rounds just derogatory comments he made about farmers which we'll get to in a little bit but it shows that maybe people aren't going to like him so much when you see who he actually is. griff: if you needed any proof that you're doing something right and rising it is when all of your competitors attack you for the very thing you have, more of which are resources. here is some of the democrats attacking bloomberg. listen to this. >> $60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can't erase your record. there's a lot to talk about in michael bloomberg. >> i'm say this i am on your show right now answering these tough questions. where is he? he just keeps running ads. >> in a life he is struggling bound had his last $60 billion.

life is hard, you know? food prices going up, housing going up, how are you going to make it on 60 billion? mike is trying. griff: it's going to take it very seriously and also worth noting on that national average polling they do in real clear politics he's doubled his number pulling into third place behind sanders and biden. steve: because of all of the paidads, and you know, i want to see them on the debate stage on wednesday. and it be , you know, when we were in where were we last week? >> lisa: new hampshire. it feels like it goes by so fast steve: i went to a bernie sanders rally and to pete buttigieg and so many of the people who were there were still shopping around. it would just be nice for the people who were still shopping around for a candidate to actually compare him because so many people are going well you know, he's a billionaire and he ran the city, but then when you, as you mentioned a moment ago when

michael bloomberg was at oxford in 2016, there was a camera that recorded something that he's not feeling good about this morning, and essentially, what he's saying is if you are a farmer, you don't have to be a genius for that job and its got a lot of people going what! watch. >> i could teach anybody, even people in this room, so no offense intended, to be a farmer. it's a processer. you dig a hole, put a seed in, put dirt on top, add water up comes the corn and then you could learn that. then we have 300 years of the industrial society. you put the piece of metal in, turn the crank and the direction of the arrow and you could have a job and we created a lot of jobs. the economy is fundamentally different because it's built around replacing people with technology and the skillsets that you have to learn are how to think about analyze, and that

is a whole degree level different. you have to have a different skillset. you have to have a lot more grey matter. lisa: so if you wanted to know how he's going to connect with people outside of the elite coast, there you have it. so not very well, right? these are his sentiments on people that work hard for a living and i don't think that's going to go over well. also one thing, we don't even know what kind of delegate count bloomberg is going to get on super tuesday, right? so people are kind of talking him off, he's gotten a lot of congressional endorsements but he hasn't been tested. he's the most untested candidate griff: and no delegates even after south carolina, because he came off the ballot either in nevada or south carolina but when he gets to super tuesday as you point out he's got to go to states, south carolina is certainly one of them, then florida and other places where farming is a big part of that state's economy. steve: plus manufacturing jobs. so in other words, if you work in a factory or you work with

the earth, doesn't take a lot of grey matter, unlike his business , where he talks about the information economy. we asked you what you thought and -- >> lisa: seems like such a jerk. steve: the e-mail machine has pretty much melted with your comments. bill sent us this e-mail that said chemistry, meteorology, finance, mechanics, biology are all part of a farmer's knowledge he needs to utilize at any given moment. farmers would survive without the bloombergs of the world. excellent. >> lisa: great point. jane says how insulting to farmers. bloomberg should be ashamed that his ignorance on the complexities of running an agricultural business, a lot of people share that thought. griff: bloomberg and hillary would make a great couple in a campaign against all of us deplorables in the heartland. boy isn't that true? he's referring to the rumor over the weekend that hillary might join the ticket.

>> lisa: remember when hillary clinton told the automobile makers she hadn't driven a car in decades and then the basket of deplorables just these candidates are the foot and mouth syndrome that they are so disconnected from reality. griff: and the thing about the coal miners when she said she was going to put coal miners out of business that was one of the key elements of her demise. steve: i wonder how many farmers and how many people who work with their hands, and manufacturing jobs were at the nascar race yesterday in daytona 500, because if they were, we know that at one point they were chanting "usa, usa" because for the first time in recorded history, the president of the united states, first president, sitting president, to actually take a lap in as you could see that is his cadillac also known as the beast, went around the 2.5-mile track, at about what would you say, 50 miles an hour? it was a little shy of 70.

but it was amazing to see. it was a bit of history and here is the part where the president says the thing that officially starts the race. president trump: daytona international speedway, we love our country, and it's truly an honor to be with all of you at the great american race. gentlemen, start your engines! >> [applause] >> lisa: how incredible. president trump really understands imagery. i mean, we've seen this with the 4th of july. he understands like the impact of just that imagery and also, really what it means to nascar or really anyone. you can not look at that and not think that it is extremely cool, what an awesome historic moment. griff: and to hear what it meant to a racing legend like jeff gordon whose a fox sports comentator for the race. here is what he said. >> people ask me, do you miss

it? you know, are you jealous of those competitors out there? today, right now, i amex. i would love to be in this daytona 500 out there competing today. this just so special. steve: at one point the president got on to the radio and he said to the drivers , have a good race, be safe, god bless you, we love you lisa: very cool. steve: and to your point, lisa, about how he is such a good producer, such a good tv producer. last week, how many people have we heard in the mainstream media talking about how make is a genius because he has hired these instagram influencers to post things about him. when you look at the imagery out of daytona 500 yesterday where you've got the most iconic airplane in the world flying in at 800 feet above, look at that right there. then you've got the beast and you've got the president and you've gotten down in the pit,

and on the apron. those are them that will endure and will be a commercial, i've got a feeling, within a week. griff: did he impress everybody though? >> lisa: but if you have to pay people to make you look cool you're probably not cool. griff: here is some of the reaction, from kelly o'donnell, the nbc white house correspondent. steve: look at that how cool is that? griff: she says about that right there this was an official white house event therefore paid by taxpayers as donald trump attended daytona 500 in the beast limo, ran a pace car lap around the track also tweet ing -- steve: hold on a second she made a big deal about it being taxpayer money. i would imagine a lot of people said fine pally washington is spending money in a way i can appreciate because that is cool to see that land right there. >> lisa: very very cool and not the only person, you also have former democratic congresswoman katie hill who said at a restaurant trump in a motorcade at the daytona 500

comes on the tv and i literally don't know whether to laugh or cry or scream. we're going to go with all. also she resigned in shame so i'm not sure if she's the best person to be talking about ethical things. steve: dan bongino worked for the secret service and did events like this and we understand apparently there were 500 secret service people detailed to this particular event to make sure the president , first lady and everybody there were safe. here is dan bongino about the imagery. >> you want to talk about liberal heads exploding everywhere. think of all of these thins in this pot yet, patriotism, fast cars, you had american muscle, you had pride, love of america, president trump, i mean, all of these things liberals, you can't stand. this was just such a great day and the singing of the national anthem beforehand. it was such a phenomenonal event.

steve: the coolest part of this is i get to see the end of the race because today at 4:00, they are going to resume the last 180 laps of the daytona 500 and it'll be on fox, 4:00 p.m. eastern. steve: and janice dean says the weather should cooperate. >> lisa: she sure did, there you have it. griff: revving up her engines for headlines, gillian. reporter: good morning. let's begin with this fox news alert now. overnight two flights carrying americans off a quarantined cruise ship in japan arrive in the u.s.. the second plane landing just three hours ago at joint base san antonio. the first flight landing at travis air force base in california. we don't know which plane has the new infected patients at least 14 of those americans evacuated have the connell. coronavirus. it wasn't discovered until passengers were on their way to the airport and historic flooding forcing hundreds to evacuate in mississippi. the city of jackson submerged in

however, there are other appellate courts within the united states that have upheld this before, so we're really confused as to the ruling of the d.c. appellate court and we're vowing to fight this all the way to the supreme court if we have to. steve: tell us a little bit about what happened that day, with you and your partner. >> february 15, 2011, just this past saturday was the ninth year anniversary of the shooting we were ambushed on highway 57 as we traveled on assignment to pick up equipment to return back to mexico city. we were surrounded and ambushed by the cartel. they shot over 90 rounds at our suburban, jamie was tragically killed and i was shot three times. steve: right, and after that, you had a pretty good idea who it was. did the country of mexico cooperate? >> yes, they did. they did a great job in captur ing all of the assailants and extraditing them to the u.s.

to face justice here, and we went through a big trial in 2017. two of them got the life sentences, five others got sentences that we weren't really happy with, 35 years down to 12 years. as a matter of fact the one that got 12 years will be released august of 2021 but at least, they're all convicted and that was justice, and now, we get hit with this , that the murder charge of the agent has been vacated or dismissed by the appellate court so we're going to challenge that. i do want to mention that the federal law enforcement officers association has been great in helping us to approach congress to amend this law, to make sure we put it on there that it doesn't matter where these murders occur. we need to protect our agents that are serving in mexico and a broad, especially in mexico because what message are we spending down there to these terrorist cartels that it's

going to be a free for all for american agents. steve: and i know that that organization as well is appealing to the attorney general bill barr to look into this because it's just not right but you just touched on something at the end. what message are we sending to those cartels that look like are getting away with something? >> it's incredible. we all know what's going down in mexico and the influence and the power that these cartels have right now in mexico and so what are they going to say? well it's open season on the u.s. agents, because you're not going to be convicted or tried and even if you're tried you might dismiss the charge. steve: victor you've made this request and you're not going to arrest until you seek justice. as awe survivor i will continue to do my best and all i can. i remain in constant contact with the family, we're going to continue to fight this and hopefully we're going to right this wrong. steve: victor avila, thank you

they have done to the department of justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law require mr. barr to resign. now, so far there are zero signs that barr will step down, and president trump has refused to apologize for a tweet which called the original recommendations for his long time associate roger stone unfair. the president says he has a right to free speech just like every other american, but even some republican senators say that those kinds of tweets about ongoing doj cases are simply unnecessary. here is senator kennedy just yesterday. >> does the president have a right to tweet about a case? of course. just because you can though doesn't mean you should. this is a case where tweeting this would not cause brain damage. >> the senator kennedy giving the president just a little bit of advice, phrased in a way that only senator kennedy can, as for roger stone, his sentenc ing is set for thursday,

i'll tell you in arizona people are tired of their obstruction and their investigations and their impeachments, and they want them to get to work, to address the issues, that impact americans. we need to work together to lower the cost of prescription drugs. president trump called on us at the state of the union address to put legislation on his desk, there's a bipartisan bill, i co- sponsored it recently, chuck grassley is leading it. i've got other initiatives i'll be rolling out on this topic. this is what matters to people in arizona, supporting our veterans and preventing suicide. so many other issues, let's get to work. griff: senator let me follow-up on that real quickly. your colleague, elizabeth warren said that if barr won't resign, then barr can be impeached. what do you say to your colleague? >> i think, well, she's in a failed presidential candidacy right now so i don't know if anybody is listening to elizabeth warren, but look, bill barr is a good man. i appreciate him stepping up to

serve again, and he gave the president some advice yesterday, when you hire good people maybe listen to that advice. i would, but i think we now need to get back to work. she needs to get back to the senate stop missing votes and start working on the things that matter to americans. >> lisa: senator president trump came under fire for tweet ing about the roger stone case. should he have weighed in? >> he has a right just like everybody else, but again, he hired bill barr. bill barr is a good man, and i hope he listens to his advice. steve: we understand the president of the united states is heading your way. he's going to be three rallies in three days out in arizona. is there a possibility he could fly in real low, over wherever you are with air force one, and drive around? >> maybe. that was outstanding. i flewa-10 maybe i could do a flyby on his wing, right with air force one. we're excited to have president trump back to arizona.
