workers that they are concerned about the tallying of the vote in the end. the fact that they have up to 5 selections to make and that they have early voting which normally you would see in a primary, not a caucus because the deck of a caucus is to debate and have discussions so this is been interesting to watch unfold and it can be easily manipulated in the end because the boxes themselves where they are putting their ballots in don't seem to be too secure from what i have been told. >> really caucusing was strange to me too. the head of the dnc, tom perez. >> our goal is to have a caucus that is as low-tech as humanly possible while preserving efficiency. one lesson we took from iowa is we need to be talking relentlessly with our volunteers.

>> how funny is it we are going back in time. we didn't have to worry about this 20 years ago. we are so scared because of technology. >> some locations were dropped using the ipad altogether because it is not functioning or they are not able to check people in quick enough so they have gone back to paper and other locations are able to keep that ipad. it will be interesting to see how they compile this information successfully in the end. >> of something like iowa were to happen again, maybe not even to that extreme but if something were to go wrong how much do you think this will upset the democrats back? >> interesting dynamic because when you listen to a lot of the local reporting on people attending the caucus and ask who are you supporting there's a lot of confliction. there is not a strong answer on who the candidate is going to be to come out on top. it is more who is going to beat

donald trump, not based on morals, ethics or which direction you would like to see the direction go policies about why so democrats will be rallying around the fact they just want to remove donald trump. but really i don't think anyone has confidence that any of these candidates can do that. >> it is coming up in a few days. we appreciate it. jillian: 18 after the hour, a crash on the final lap of the daytona 500, reality check for nascar nation and the winner of the big race. >> we take for granted the cars, how safe they are but we are praying for ryan. rob: the winner keeping newland in his thoughts in an exclusive interview, rick, it was an incredible race. >> reporter: it was an incredible race and an incredible finish, denny hamlin

be held today after official that the department of justice recalled a 79 year sentence recommendation put out by the attorneys office for donald trump's confident roger stone. sources familiar with the process tell fox news the interim us attorney for dc was, quote, strong-armed by prosecutors into recommending stone go to jail for 7 to 9 years. a former attorney to william barr said was effective -- excessive. four prosecutors quit and calls for william barr to step aside continue to grow. >> do you join the call for his resignation? >> absolutely positively. no president has ever intimidated and attorney general as much as this man has. >> reporter: 2000 former justice employees from prosecutors to judges signed an open letter calling on william barr to step aside. those close to the president are

let's start off with amy klobuchar and hear what she had to say starting in 2007 and 2019 and notice the difference here. >> i believe we need more resources at the border and that includes a fence and we have people coming in illegally. >> as president i create a permanent status, comprehensive immigration reform. >> that was 2006. what do you think of her flip-flopping? >> obviously pandering to the left that has taken over the party. her position isn't that far from donald trump. he wants to secure the border, protect america from those across the country illegally. she said the same thing, trying to rewrite history but most americans agree with her first statement the we need to secure our borders, don't sound downsize on having secure border. jillian: it makes a difference

on a lot of things. the obama administration's deportation. >> you be apologizing? >> what president obama did and what trump did is night and day. >> expect you to apologize for that. >> it was a big mistake, took too long to get it right. >> the difference of a few months. >> joe biden can't run away from his past and shouldn't run away from his past. we talked about this many times. the facilities built under the first surge, so-called cages under president obama, family detention went from 100 beds to 3000 beds under president obama and the same facilities, the

policy is similar but what joe biden failed to mention, many more illegal aliens were removed under president obama than donald trump. 409,000 people were removed, that is a record under president obama. he can't rewrite history. >> numbers don't lie. let's talk about bernie sanders. this is a quote, there is no question in my mind with substantially lower wages in this country i don't think there's any presidential candidate who thinks we should open up the borders. this is bernie sanders in 2020, you also said guest workers and undocumented immigrants can lower wages for low skilled american workers and bernie respond saying that is what i said on the lose jobs show, 250 years ago. what we do on day one is end trump's racist immigration executive orders, we undo them. that is a strong word. >> he is right on the first

sense, illegal immigration those times down wages. he can't undo decades worth of data that clearly shows illegal immigration drives down american wages. he is not far from donald trump when he rewrote the immigration plan, immigration based on merit, that would help us wages rise, they are not far off of each other on that and once again the american people understand the secure border secures the united states, trump's policies are racist all he wants but he is a longtime senator who has the authority to change the law. if he thinks they are racist and border patrol and ice are racist, what does that make him as the legislator who wrote these laws which he can rewrite the laws and make them better if he wishes to. >> we will keep an eye on it. good to see you.

rob: nyu professor exposed at the center of an anti-copper rampage which paralyzed rush-hour in new york city earlier this year. amon hussein revealed as leader of an anarchist group behind is protesting 100,$000 in damages it caused the city. how do nyu students feel about one of their instructors being involved in this? >> reporter: you think that

activity is appropriate for an nyu professor? >> that's of activism, there are issues with the system but destroying structures rarely helps. >> cost 100,$000 in damage, did that go too far? >> i wouldn't personally do that. >> he has freedom of speech. >> i respect that. subways do cost more than they should. it might not be the best way to go about it but reducing costs. rob: an array of opinions from students but what about thousands of commuters stranded by this free speech act? here to react is vice president of nyu college republicans, thank you for coming on today. you have a professor who started this group and the new york post started this. a lot of mayhem for one instructor. what do you think?

>> a lot of people have similar extreme views and being a place where you are challenged so little that you fill and i, able to justify that. the rest of us, really inappropriate. rob: a really good way of putting it. what do you make of it? >> the professor is a far left extremist, he has no business depressing his reprehensible views on the minds of young adults and quite honestly disappointing nyu hasn't taken necessary steps to make sure this professor is nowhere near students in the future. this happened just affected students, disaffected commuters all over the city. nyu should make a statement by firing this professor. rob: they don't want to fire him, sounds like they are backing him. here's the statement from the university, the university abhors violence, reject calls for violence, has long-standing

ties and is opposed to acts of vandalism on the public transit system which is needed and shared by all new yorkers, but among thousands part-time faculty we hire each year some will disagree with nyu's position, such is the nature of free speech and economic freedom. in his protest, they wrote f police on the walls, calling for free subways, he would like an anarchist protest. let me ask you this. what do you think would happen if a right-wing professor heller pro-life rally in washington? >> some of our meetings we had, professors who happen to be on the right side of the political spectrum are protested by other students who very strongly disagree with pretty moderate views on the right so i think if anybody were to do this on the other side it would be very - why we are so unbalanced and have declined treatment.

rob: do you think nyu condones this behavior? it is a farm effect. i had email from people who say they couldn't get home because their offices were letting people out early to get around this thing. this cost mayhem. >> if this was someone on the right, there is a complete double standard to conservatives on campus at nyu and college of all across the country. this is why donald trump suggested border about free-speech on campus and transparency. the mandates, obligates universities to uphold the 1 amendment and drive institutions to abide by their internal free-speech guidelines and that is very helpful for us on campus. rob: what is it like to be in a republican group at new york university? >> we have a tightknit group that is a lot of fun but has challenges when it comes to dealing with people like that. rob: i imagine it would.
