[laughs] let's get it rolling right now. whatever the commissioner thought he did, he didn't do it i'm bill hemmer and are very well. reporting both begins under the >> bill: the commissioners rob bright lights of sin city where democrats are counting down to manford. he struck a deal with the players union they gave the the next debate. six candidates will be on stage astros players immunity if they and michael bloomberg's arrival cooperated with the league's investigation. gives them an all new punching jared max from fox headlines bag. >> do you think michael bloomberg is trying to 24/7, how are you doing? buy the democratic nomination for president? what is snowballing? >> yes. >> that was justin turner of the >> mr. bloomberg has every right in the world to run for president of the united states. he's an american citizen. dodgers, who lost to the astros but i don't think he has a right in the world series. to buy the election. the thing rob manfred hasn't >> people don't look at the guy really gotten a hold of, he in criticized manfred because he >> bill: i'm so worried about

them night after night losing refer to the commissioner's trophy, the world series trophy sleep. he awards, manfred called it a thank you, see you at 5:00. thank you, dana. piece of metal and that really let's get it rolling right now. ticked off justin turner. and then rob manfred finds >> bill: i'm bill hemmer stha d himself apologizing. i want to get to lebron james sthaend -- and the democrats are counting down to the next because we see the size of how large this scandal is and i think it's going to be with us debate. six candidates will be on stage for a long time. i think more people will lose and michael bloomberg's arrival their jobs and maybe even gives them all a new punching bag. players because the public >> do you think michael bloomberg is trying to buy the sentiment, lebron james, biggest basketball player in the democratic nomination for president? world, went on twitter yesterday >> yes. and sent out a couple tweets and >> mr. bloomberg has every right in the world to run for took shots at commissioner rob president of the united states. he's an american citizen. manfred. but i don't think he has the for essentially saying this is your game and you need to fix right to buy this election. this, mr. commissioner. >> people don't look at the guy he's not a baseball player but in the white house and is a, why he still understands being in don't i find someone rich. i think he should be on the sport. lebron james, when he comes out and says, one of the biggest debate stage because i can't beat him on the airwaves but i players in the game. we just saw mike trout, can beat him on the debate stage. >> bill: this will be generally soft-spoken. aaron judge. i think commissioner rob manfred bloomberg's first debate in 10 years and biggest task of his candidacy and it's a two-way is trying to follow the wind a little bit and i'm not sure how race with bloomberg and bernie it's going to work out.

sanders. manfred all of a sudden in a moment, carl rove sizes up apologizing because justin turner called him out? the showdown and we start with a >> bill: their action is obvious because they feel like live report from las vegas. the others cheated them out of victories, cheated them out of a >> bill, up until now michael different kind of future for themselves, different kind of bloomberg's been able to career and they want punishment. campaign from behind the curtain >> yeah and i think also as mostly talking to voters by ad sports fans by and large, we are buys and responding without the failed athletes. pressure of a live audience and we would love to be the ones given those gifts to go out and all that changed and we've seen do it. we see someone who is blessed, a glimpse how he's going to be born with these gifts, these talents, to achieve their taken to task and elizabeth warren called him an ego maniac talents. >> bill: so tell me what will be a proper punishment? >> if the players have been on twitter and the dnc removed the donor threshold criteria so suspended maybe for some period of time, the fact that the bloomberg can participate. players got immunity, i think it's a big problem. tonight he's likely to face questions over his policies if the commissioner manfred during his time as new york city right now needs to take a very strong stand. mayor and answer about audio clipped that recently surfaced we have a apology if were talking about it? he's heard racially stereotyping >> in an effort to make a murderers and defending the stop a

rhetorical point, i referred to and frisk and in a clip he the world series trophy in a disrespectful way i want to refers to transgender people as apologize for that. there is no excuse for it. he, she or it. i made a mistake. i was trying to make a point but he has defended himself but will have to respond tonight. i should've made it in a more effective way. >> what a big difference between former vice president joe biden having to revive his campaign is baseball commissioners over 100 years. taking a different line of the first commissioner, kenesaw attack against bloomberg. mountain landis, he banned players from baseball forever because even though a jury of the players' peers acquitted them from throwing the series, he said no, it's no good. tonight will be critical for warren and biden who didn't meet rob manfred 100 years later has the threshold for delegates in this giant scandal in front of the new hampshire primary and him and he's listening to what could provide another surge in the public is saying. he doesn't seem to be the one support for amy klobuchar who calling the shots and that's a did well in new hampshire after problem. >> bill: and you are a month a good debate performance. from opening day, right? >> bill: karl rove is live in >> press conferences and players on the superstars are weighing in. it's not good and it's not going austin, fox news contributor. to go away. >> bill: how do you think it's >> good day to you. resolved? >> bill: thank you. >> i would call up roger goodell how many go after bloomberg. and say give me some tips on not turn the argument around.

bloomberg has an opportunity to underestimating the power of a go after bernie sanders and scandal? democratic socialism. i would think his campaign would roger goodell, domestic violence, anthem protesting, that they would go jump at that opportunity. away and they don't. you have to deal with them. >> they would. >> bill: thank you. the question is how big of a nice to see you. we will see where it goes. shot will they have at that and thank you. in a moment, neil is coming up. how sustain it can be. they are going to be on the receiving end. the press wants them to be in records today. the barrel. my, oh, my. his opponents want him to be in the nasdaq and the s&p, we say the barrel. that's a lethal combination and it just keeps going. she has proven us right. if i went in their camp i'd be see you tomorrow. worried about we sort of know what some of the attacks might be tonight but if i were one of his opponents, i'd want to take >> bill: all right, thinking something new that is extremely dangerous and not popped into of the record jackpot for wall street, it's vegas. the arena and go after him on you are looking at the paris hotel and casino in las vegas, that maybe thinking they're not five hours from another top as prepared. democratic presidential candidates squaring off. >> bill: that's what iowa and bernie sanders is still surging, new hampshire do they hone their message well. now with a double-digit lead in a new national poll. >> right. and in this instance we've joe biden is still hoping to pull off a win. gotten a bunch of stuff dumped he is not surging. out there about his public michael bloomberg still getting

comments. flack from all sides, democrats i suspect the research teams of each candidates have several gems they've not dumped in pounding the moneymaking while president trump is just public and one or more might pounding. welcome, everyone. i am neil cavuto. glad to have you. new records at the corner wall appear tonight. >> bill: i'll show you the billboard in new york. and broad. first, peter doocy on if what stand by, karl. we're looking at february and saturday in south carolina following. and your focus and bloomberg's focus has been here in march on super tuesday and look at the delegates being available and california with 450 tell delegates at stake. how do you see this shaping up for bloomberg after the weekend? >> we don't know yet. while there's only two contests between now and march 3, nevada this weekend and south carolina a week from does will have a big impact on march 3. someone will come in with momentum and with the wind at their backs. the most likely stories are

bernie sanders gaining strength and we could have a surprise if biden does well in nevada, which harry reid gave him a blessing last week and win south carolina then we could have the comeback kid. this week the bloomberg people said if all the rest of the moderate candidates and traditional democrats stay in the race, quote, bernie sanders may build an insurmountable lead. that shows to be nervousness on their part. look, there's no way any of the other candidates will get out by march 3. remember, he's spending a boatload of money on the march 3 states and in states where there's a number of polls, here's the real clear politics average for bloomberg he's spent hundreds in millions of ads and in california at 16.5% and texas not even to the 19% and in fourth place and in knowledge

carolina 17.3%. i find it unlikely he'll be in first place in a lot of states. >> bill: the wall street journal bernie's millions beat mike's billions. on the topic of money, is bloomberg rising in the polls because of the money or because democrats in the primary season are still looking for someone other than bernie sanders? >> i think both. the money allows people still shopping, advertising can help. it's not the only thing but can be part of the thing. think bit, he spent over $400 million worth of advertising on television and cable we can track. we can'this finance report on d and two weeks to go before march 3. dime to a dollar when you toss in all the advertising and digital and all the overhead, i

wouldn't be surprised to see him $800 million by the end. >> bill: i'll raise you $200 million on that. >> i wouldn't disagree with that. it could be as much as $1 billion. >> bill: thank you, karl. nice to see you. thank you, sir. nice to have you back. >> this is an act of kindness and a believe it's the beginning of the to actually turn in injustice into a justice. >> bill: there's rob blagojevich the former governor of illinois back home thanking president trump for getting him out of prison. he served eight years of a 14 year sentence convicted of a corruption charge saying he was going to sell obama's former seat as a golden seat. leonard, good afternoon, thank you for your time in the windy city. >> thanks for having me on. >> bill: did blagojevich talk to the president yet? >> i don't believe so, no.

>> bill: is that conversation scheduled? >> i couldn't tell you that. >> bill: you are throwing daggers at democrats in illinois. how come? >> me personally? >> bill: mm-hmm. >> i'm not throwing daggers. i'm not a trump supporter, i'm a bernie sanders supporter but i believe when somebody does something right you support them and when they do something wrong you criticize them and the fact is blagojevich was sent away for 14 years. i think it's almost unanimous people have told me that that is an outrageous sentence for somebody who never took a bribe for a kickback, never took money from his campaign fund, never promised anyone anything in exchange for a campaign contribution. he wasn't taking gifts or rollex

watches. >> so then why 14 years, leonard? >> i can't tell you. he was gone after from almost day one of his governorship. i can't tell you why it was so important for the federal government to send him away knowing a man this was not trying to go to springfield or profit from his public office. i can tell you it was heart warming to see the family back together today to walk in that home and see rod and patty and their two daughters have eight long years. justice here, how much time should he have served? >> honestly, i don't think he crossed the line. we can have a discussion about that. he was doing his job and that was going around and making money. >> bill: with the hospital and everything else. >> we can talk about the

children's hospital. the fact she was lobbying for a rate increase for doctors at the children's hospital. he talked about it with his staff and approved it and a week later his brother who is his campaign manager called and asked for a fundraiser from the head of children's memorial hospital. i don't like getting fund raising calls myself but it's not a shakedown. >> bill: you're arguing politicians do this kind of thing is that what i'm hearing? >> you have to raise money unless you can self-fund like mayor bloomberg. it's not the favorite part of the job but it was part of his job. i look differently on politicians that are pushing and doing their job trying to raise own to be effective in office. pocket, taking gifts, cars, free trips. that's not think a lot of peopl

recognize that including people on the democratic side. i think a lot of people were supporting him. >> bill: you were saying democrats just to close this out they're hypocrites because they're giving blagojevich a bad time but it's an indirect aim at the president trump. do you understand why the commander-in-chief would pardon him? >> no. i have never spoken to donald trump. i do think it's sincere that he knows rob blagojevich. i support and there's plenty of people in federal prison serving excessive sentences and a hope the president will look at a lot more of these folks. i have represented people in federal court 20 years. there's a lot of people that need to come home and that's something rob blagojevich wants to talk to president trump about if he gets the chance. >> bill: he'll be on martha.

press reports are true. all i know is what the department of justice has said

which is there are no plans. >> that from the white house responding to reports that a.g. bill barr has told people close to the white house he considered quitting over the trump tweets about ongoing criminal cases and we pick up the story from the north lawn. >> a debate over what we're hearing in regards to attorney general bill barr. last week he gave that clusi clusive -- exclusive interview to abc news on the tweets. now sources are telling fox news he's told close associates he thought about quitting because of the tweets but has no plans to step down and it's raising questions to whether it's really a consideration or part of a campaign by barr to show the rank and file at the department he's concerned about independence at the doj and quell questions about his

leadership. certainly the doj leaving no question about what barr intends to do and the doj spokes american said addressing beltway rumors the attorney general has no plans to resign. barr's complaint about the president tweeting caught water a few days. the president is out tweeting against roger stone and he hailed attorney general barr and white house officials defended his use of social media to express his opinion. listen here. >> he absolutely respects the attorney general and his service and they have a good relationship. as the president said he also understands what he says could impact the attorney general's ability to do his job. and he uses social media as you guys well know to get out his message directly to the american people.

>> we may hear more about this later on tonight when the president has a campaign rally. >> bill: a pentagon official involved with ukraine was asked to resign. what's the story? >> it's not much of a public figure the other secretary of defense for policy was very much involved in this whole ukraine deal. ukraine had done enough to qualify for $250 million in u.s. military aid. sources tell fox news he was not held in high regard and seen as a possible impediment to implementing the president's policy and it was clear from the resignation letter it was the president who asked for him to step down and the president praising him in a tweet saying i'd like to thank john rood for his service and wish himself. and in qualifying for the aid

the president after that a determination was made withheld it and there was the contradiction and don't know if that was at the route of rood leaving but probably part of the calculus. >> bill: thank you very much. we have independent counselor in the white water investigations and fox news contributor. thank you for your time. maxine waters does not hold back. here's her tweet. it's not for barr to resign i want him disbarred and disgraced and the mueller report was a plot and now wants to free trump's criminal friends. in my estimation they all belong in jail. sef tone nine years was -- seven to nine years was the normal recommendation. what is normally the prison term? >> that's a gret question. the average sentence for somebody under the obstruction guideline with left-field or no history like stone has is not nine years or seven years, it's

9.4 months. the original recommendation by to the original prosecutors. it was a farce. >> bill: how is it within the guidelines if there's such a difference between nine months and nine years. >> it tells you in a lot of the cases the judge ignore the guidelines. they have to initially apply the guidelines and then do a downward variance. there was no question stone would never get a sentence like nap -- that and even the recommendation of 37 to 46 months is too high for somebody in stone's position. >> bill: let's cult through this. i -- cut through this and people watching this, what do you think is going on here? >> what's going on here with

barr is what's been going on since he became attorney general. he's very effective and trying to get to the bottom of cross-fire hurricane. that's why he's hired john durham to look into it. we know there were imp improprieties, serious improprieties in the investigation that was begun of the trump campaign. barr wants to get to the bottom of it and there are people deathly afraid of that and so they must attack him and they are relentless in attacking him. i don't believe he's done a damn thing wrong, however, the president makes his job much much tougher when he tweets. >> bill: i think the president agreed with that. bill barr's on the hill end of march. thank you, sol wisenberg for coming in. regulating artificial intelligence and new rules. is mealtime a struggle?

hello, i saw you move in, and i wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood with some homemade biscuits! >> bill: told you he was okay. edward lawre live. >> it must be artificial

intelligence directing the signal. the e.u trying to be a top dog in the artificial intelligence vein. the new union commission president said it needs to be a top priority and wants to combine all the resources of europe to prioritize this and make them the leader in a.i. technology and releasing the white paper allowed the government to certify algorithms and regulate tech companies. the commission president believed the more data that europe has the more artificial intelligence will learn in the best possible way and wants to put her money where her mouth is. listen to this. >> things are moving so fast that we have to do more. therefore we want to boost european artificial intelligence by attracting more than $20

billion euros. >> that's $21.5 billion and the chief of the office of science and technology policy released a statement staying, quote, the best way to counter users is ensure the u.s. and allies remain leader in innovation and advancing technology underpinned by our common values and monday the e.u. trade team will be here in washington, d.c. to restart trade negotiations part will be the information intelligence chapter. >> bill: nice to see you're all right. >> thank you. >> bill: the coronavirus now claiming new victims outside of china. iran claiming two elderly people

have died. it spread to more than two dozen countries and infected 75 million people and the cases mostly in china. meanwhile the feds say the quarantine on a cruise ship in japan may not have been enough requiring the passengers and crew to wait longer before coming home. and we are now joined from the quarantine center in japan. thanks for getting up. it's 5:30 in the morning. how are you feeling after testing positive and negative. how are you doing now? >> i'm doing fine even when i first tested positive i haven't had symptoms. >> bill: so you didn't feel like you had the flu or anything though the test came back positive? >> i had three hours of a fever maybe less than 100 degrees and then it went away. i had that right beforehe resul

they whisked me away to a japanese hospital where i've been since saturday but now learning i'm testing negative so i'll probably go to another facility for another two weeks. >> bill: wow. geri, how's il feel to be off the ship, progress? >> yeah. i wouldn't call it progress but they've been very nice to be here at the japanese hospital. the language barrier's been tough of course trying to get wi-fi was a comedy of errors but we got it done. yeah, my husband's in california and so i won't see him again probably for at least another two weeks. >> bill: so have you two more weeks. how's this been for you? i imagine it's been somewhat of a struggle, jeri. >> probably. i mean, it is. i really don't focus on the

negative. i don't roll that way and do pilates whatever i can. i'm a very positive person anyway and boy, i've had a lot of practice in goidoing just th. >> bill: you sound like have you a great attitude. you'll be back in utah before long. >> i hope so. >> bill: we'll stay in contact. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> bill: you bet, dr. redland is back from columbia university. i guess the quarantine on the ship wasn't so good after all. >> it's a problem. the root of the problem is we don't know how long the incubation period is and could be. so we've been operating under the assumption of two to 14 days before you get symptoms if you catch the virus but we don't know it would be three weeks, four weeks. the lack of basic information is one thing that's made it a big challenge. how long should people be in quarantine and should have been on the ship. i don't blame the ship. i blame the fact we don't have enough information. >> bill: when do you believe you

call this a pandemic? >> we're on the verge. theoretically an epidemic starts and grows rapidly in a country and starts spreading to other countries. that's the tipping point. this is a question of degree. has there been enough spread to declare this a pandemic and probably not quite yet but we're on the verge. >> bill: what about the test kits? >> it's a mess. the test kits were initially sent all over the world and turns out there were defects in the test kits. we can't even make an accurate and efficient diagnosis of people and resulted in a weird thing in china because people are being diagnosed without confirmation and cold, fever and maybe a chest x-ray finding which makes it dicey. >> bill: you were standing here

a week ago and were confounded. what do you think is the truth inside china a week later? >> i think it's an obscure place. the communication internally within china even between the provinces and central government and health leadership in china has been very questionable. we don't know what's happening. we should have known a lot more by now and it's very unfortunate china is responsible for some of the problems we're experiencing now in the fact we don't know enough information to make rational policy. >> bill: you go back to columbia university and tell your colleagues what as you try to understand this in layman's terms, tell us. >> in layman's terms there's a lot of work to be done by researchers now. we have to get better at the testing and have to know more how to tract contacts and need the vaccine and now. the problem is it takes almost a year even fast tracking a vaccine to make it available. all that is in progress but we

have a long ways to go. >> bill: and the government officials how do you think they're doing? >> ours? >> bill: ever around the world. >> there's built-in uncertainty when we have a problem arising and have work to do and the ship situation is a good example of how not having the right information causes a major problem and in fact increases the spread. we let people off the ship who may still be infect and going all over the world and that's an enormous challenge. >> bill: it's a riddle to you and others. irvin redlenner, thank you. in a moment michael bloomberg getting ready to be on stage later tonight. who will be on the attack and who will hold back? what do you expect? we are live next.

>> bill: the fire department in australia putting up a billboard in time square it reads imagine fighting a bush fire higher than this billboard. it's about 70 feet high and that's what crews had to take on down under during australia's worse bush fire season on record. the flames killed at least 30 people and destroyed hundreds of homes. the fires have now since been contained. president trump heading to las vegas and planning a rally ahead of saturday's nevada caucuses. a lot of rallies too and former new york city mayor michael bloomberg getting ready to stel step out on the -- step out on the debate stage and rivals saying he's buying the election

and he said he's not taking money from anyone so people can't buy him. we have a former spokes president under president obama and chris stirewalt. nice mayor -- pair we have. what about the counter programming, three nights all on the west for trump. >> it's smart politics. it's bracketing on a large scale. the president gets to be in the news in this part of the country. he gets to get his base fired up and he gets to stay active so that's really important. >> bill: okay, marie. now you have this what i think will get a lot of viewership. >> absolutely. >> bill: so here's the question, what's the bigger sin in a democratic primary, is it to be a billionaire or a stop and

frisk policy. >> many voters are deciding whether they want to make a deal with the devil he's untested on a national level and on the one hand many democratic voters say michael bloomberg may take on donald trump as a business man and self-fund but on the other side he's said terrible things about minority and women and supported policies many find abhorrent so there's a deep uncomfortable feeling and democrats are paralyzed in trying to figure out who is the best candidate to take on trump. their own views being damned, right? >> >> bill: many are saying bloomberg's the punching bag tonight but he has a real opportunity. he can go after bernie sanders saying you're trying to spend too much we can't afford it and that would bring the moderates to his side, would they not?

>> i'm not sure how marie feels about bloomberg. i can't quite pick up on the vibe. look, here's the deal, because of bloomberg pete butigeg and bernie sanders would have had a great chance after new hampshire but bloomberg has thrown a wet blanket so with the demise of the campaign you have bloomberg preventing the two from breaking out. if he gets out on the stage and doesn't look like he could be president, doesn't seem with it, doesn't seem able to keep his temper in check and deal with the criticism from all sides, the democrats will be absolutely in a mess. it will be terrible for them. >> bill: they won't be in a mess, they'll have bernie sanders their nominee. >> that's a mess because the

chance of bernie sanders beating president trump as constituted are the lowest of any contender. he's the worst-case scenario for them. >> bill: marie, get back to the devil and sin that was more interesting. do you see the scenario that stirewalt's playing out happen after tonight? if he bombs what happens then? >> he's not particularly a good debater we saw that in new york. amy klobuchar and mayor pete is doing well. if michael bloomberg doesn't do okay or bomb we may see joe biden. he's still running in nevada and south carolina. there's not a zero percent chance he can come back i'll disagree with chris a little bit i think there's a path for

bernie sanders to win over president trump but it would have a disastrous impact that would destroy the democratic majority in the house. >> bill: you see a path for america electing a democratic socialist. >> america elected donald trump and nobody saw that coming. >> i agree. bernie sanders wouldn't have zero chance but a lesser chance say two out of ten, three out of ten chance of beating trump but for the party a catastrophe because in all the suburban districts he -- mitch mcconnell could not dream of a better candidate than bernie sanders because it puts races in wisconsin and new hampshire and place where's republicans are playing now brings those races right in because sanders would be so bad with suburbanites. >> bill: what are you looking for tonight?

what are you hoping to see or expect to see? >> i expect michael bloomberg be the punching bag and we've seen them going after bloomberg on twitter. a big question is how bloomberg performs and to see how joe biden con -- performing out of iowa and i want a debate about who should be the nominee. >> bill: name one thing you are watching tonight? >> i want to see if the democrats who have been so plucky including biden about attacking bloomberg not to his face whether they end up when given the opportunity to do it face to face they wilt. >> bill: you guys are good. thank you, chris. thank you, marie. talk to you later. controversy on the baseball diamond hitting the hard top and lebron james with harsh words on the commissioner on the cheating scandal as spring gets starts

up.
