>> the countdown is now on in nevada. democratic presidential hopefuls making their final push in the state today. now just hours before the caucuses begin. the candidates, they're fighting for 36 delegates today and the big question on everyone's minds now, is this process going to go smoothly or is it going to be an iowa 2.0? we'll find out as the day progresses. welcome to america's news headquarters, great to be with you leland. and with everyone at home, i'm gillian turner. leland: seems like you would have to try to get it to go

worse. gillian: try hard. leland: and moment of the candidates hoping to gain a momentum. one big name who is not bothering to compete in the silver state, not on the ballot until super tuesday. peter doocy is on the ground in las vegas tracking it all. just 9 a.m. in las vegas there, peter. >> leland, las vegas is all about hospitality so the candidates want support from the members of the culinary union and they don't want support from russia. that's what bernie sanders has been getting in some way based on being briefed from the u.s. government. sanders says i don't care frankly who putin wants to be president. stay out of american elections and as president i'll make sure you do and this is something that elizabeth warren is weighing in on as well. >> so, no, we have not received such a briefing. i believe that we need as much

transparency as possible and this is about disinformation and the way to fight disinformation is to call it out and show what it is and give everyone full information as quickly as possib possible. >> vegas and clark county is where a huge chunk ever the vote will be cast, but amy klobuchar is working a few hours away in elko. >> why is she going to this down with a small population today? what i'm doing is not leaving stones unturned. i'm not helping half of america, but representing all of america, not just where it's easy to get to, but not where it's always comfortable, but where it's uncomfortable. >> michael bloomberg is not on the ballot here, but some of his ads have been running on television, like one tying him to barack obama and joe biden

weighed in on that last night. >> and by the way, it's amazing we found out how everybody is barack's best friend now? man, i look at all of these ads, it's amazing. i wonder where the heck they were when i was vice-president with him? >> so tonight, democrats will crown a third winner, the entire crop of candidates is trying to join pete buttigieg and bernie sanders as victors in february. leland and gillian. leland: and peter, we'll start where you began, with-- you said hospitality, a big part of the hospitality union out there, the culinary workers were not exactly pleased with bernie sanders and his health care proposals earlier in the week. is that rift gotten ironed out or they're expected to play a big part in the caucuses? >> they'll play a big role because a lot of the caucus belongs to the culinary union. it's about health care with that

endorsement. they've carefully negotiated benefits. we went to their hospital here in las vegas, members of that union have their own hospital. it's a very nice facility. and there is concern among leadership that medicare for all could gut all of that or strip some of those benefits and so they will play a big role, but in terms of officially backing a candidate at the last minute, we don't expect that to happen. leland: all right, peter doocy on the strip in las vegas as the town is waking up. back to you later in the show. thanks, peter. gillian. gillian: from the vegas strip to the white house. president trump is weighing in on the democratic race to the top, sounding off yesterday evening against several of the candidates in his las vegas rally. david spunt is there at 1600 pennsylvania and he has the latest on what the president is thinking. david. >> good afternoon to you, gillian. president trump at the white house today where we're told he will spend the day tomorrow. tomorrow he'd head to india to meet with the indian president

modi. he has an interesting back in the united states, he spent several days out west in colorado, in nevada and also held a rally in phoenix visiting some of the very states where democrats are having primaries and caucuses. now, president trump is visiting those places, it's not a coincidence and he spent time in nevada before today's caucus and a rally yesterday in las vegas the president took time to bash democrats and tout his own agenda, listen. >> with your help this november, we're going to defeat the radical socialist democrats and we are going to win nevada in a big beautiful landslide. >> president trump also taking aim on twitter at the caucus system in nevada. remember a few weeks ago, the caucus in iowa as leland was talking about, did not go as planned after the app used to count votes went essentially bust. and the president hinting the same may happen and the democratic party in nevada may

make it clear. they're use ago completely different technology so things should go smooth today. i'm told to expect president trump and an administration official said to visit some of the states where the democrats are going. it's not a coincidence. he was in iowa before the iowa caucuses and he was in new hampshire. will he be in south carolina, some of the other super tuesday states? you could probably expect so, though we don't have the official schedule yet. and something else that president trump said, gillian, he plans to old rallies, after, if he gets reelected and he's expect today get reelected. if he gets reelected he wants to hold rallies and he says he enjoys them so much. back to you. >> david there are no coincidences in politics. >> none. >> making sure our viewers are clear on that. david, we'll check back with you next hour, thanks. leland. >> president trump tweeted a message to democrats in nevada today warning about the possibility of russian election interference. this as bernie sanders tells russia to quote, stay out of the

american elections. lucas tomlinson following this story and it's taking a couple of big twists and turns over the past couple of days, hi, lucas. >> sure has. bernie sanders didn't address the issue last night at a las vegas rally ahead of the caucuses today, but his campaign issued the following statement, my message to putin is clear, stay out of american elections and as president, i will make sure that you do. in 2016 russia used internet propaganda to sew division in our country and my understanding they're doing it again in 2020. early this morning, president trump responded on twitter, democrats of the great state of nevada because of the economy, jobs, military and vets, i will win in november. be careful with russia, russia, russia. according to adam shifty shift they're pushing for bernie sanders to win, vote. >> we want to get along with russia. they are sick people. the radical left attempts to poison our democracy and overturn the last election, have

totally ended in a big fat failure. >> elizabeth warren also weighed in. >> i think everyone concerned and wants to see things go well tomorrow and i very much hope that there aren't any technical glitches that everyone can get out and caucus. >> president trump fired the acting director of national intelligence joe mcguire who served years as a navy seal. saying russia continued attempts to interfere in the 2020 election. mcguire's good friend and fellow seal craven reacted in "the washington post," when good men and women can't speak the truth, when facts are inconvenient, when integrity and character no longer matter, when presidential ego and self-preservation are more important than national security, there's nothing left to stop the triumph evil. richard grinnell acting

ambassador to germany has been appointed. we'll see if mr. grinnell addresses the press on this. gillian. gillian: joining us for more on this former deputy secretary of state for strategic, and you may have heard of him because he was hillary clinton's senior advisor for the last general election. so, philippe ryan, it's the day of the caucuses and the leading story or most recently developed here is the russians interfering to help bernie sanders in in democratic primary. does that surprise you? >> no because it's a little bit of a groundhog day. if you remember, our intelligence community at theened of 2016 when they announced it at the beginning of 2017, wasn't just that the russians were making an attempt to hurt hillary, but they were also making attempt to help donald trump, but they were making an attempt to hurt marco rubio, to hurt ted cruz and to help bernie sanders, meaning they were doing everything they

could in the primaries to help hillary, to hurt hillary and help trump. kristin: are you trying to make the argument. >> running the same play book. kristin: they're squarely anti-bernie, the russians. >> they are pro trump. first of all, they're pro chaos. kristin: they are pro chaos. we could argue whether they're pro trump. >> they're pro chaos, they love the fact that you and i are discussing right now to what extent they're trying to sew discord in our democracy. they saw what happened in 2016 worked so well, forget whether it helped donald trump or hurt donald trump, the fact that three, four years later we're talking about it and they did that on the cheap and didn't spend all that much money to really screw around with. gillian: to me we know-- the intelligence community has been telling for weeks now that the russians are trying to meddle in the 2020 presidential election. does it surprise you they're footing around in the primary?

in the democratic primary? >> it doesn't. gillian: more granular level in politics. >> it doesn't. what surprises me is that bernie has known for a month and decided know the to share it. that i find odd and somewhat irresponsible for a couple of reasons. first, this should be a team effort. this should be a bipartisan effort where today is the 40th anniversary of the miracle on ice. you weren't born, i thankfully was too young, but it was the do you believe in miracles when we beat the russians. somehow 40 years later we're talking about half the country not believing the russians won't do any harm to us. bernie should have told either his competitors or the dnc or someone to say being on the lookout and the real problem is if you remember, the last two weeks, we've been talking about bernie's online supporters and whether they have been too aggressive. those two things are connected and that's problematic. gillian: but this is much bigger than any one candidate, bigger than president trump, it's

bigger than bernie in this case. that story about meddling in the dnc process combineed with this iowa caucus app debacle, it's shaking a lot of voters faith in the democratic apparatus. >> don't forget bernie is someone who is very inclined to run around saying the process is rigged. gillian: right. >> and it sounds like the russians are trying to rig it, soap he should be more vocal about it, but, yes, it's very scary. look, our election system is pretty screwed up. even if iowa on its own just had a bad app, this shouldn't be happening. what happened in florida in 2000 with miswritten ballots, that shouldn't happen. we're hanging on by a thread. we don't need a foreign adversary who is like tipping us over to make this. and again, it would be great if everyone set aside the intent of the russians and just looked at the way you said it, they are trying to meddle in our

elections, and we should all be terribly concerned about that, and we should be fighting that. gillian: all right, you're not going to get off the set without answering a question about your former boss. >> i'm not going anywhere. gillian: listen, i'm going to read this tweet that you put out yesterday, you said, maybe the best person to beat bernie this time was the person who beat bernie last time, that being hillary clinton. are you-- i thought we put this issue to bed. is she getting back in the race? we had this conversation last week about maybe she was going to be the vice-presidential nominee. what's going on? >> well, you know, the window is closed. if someone were to jump into the race whether hillary clinton or gillian turner, you'd only have enough time to probably get your name on the ballot in guam and maybe a couple of other territories. so there's the crazy aspect of being drafted, but that's not going to happen. my point was over the last four years, people have been saying she was a terrible candidate, she shouldn't have been-- turns out campaigning is hard.

turns out debating is hard and raising money is hard. winning iowa is hard and winning the nomination is marred and she should-- maybe she did better than people think. gillian: speaking of raising money. tell me what you thought about bloomberg, our last question, on the debate stage, his performance has been widely panned. >> he shouldn't have been on the debate stage, i've been saying to for weeks. when you go back to november when bloomberg first jumped into the race as soon as he said he wasn't taking contributions this was an issue because you can't make the debate stage in the democratic primary without doing so. and he said look, if the rules let me debate, i will. if they don't, they don't. this is not a man who wants to debate, he could have written a letter in novi to the dnc, i want you to change the rules. if you're going to present yourself as the answer to donald trump, you have to be able to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. what happened the other night, and look, i know some. people who work on his team, he's got the smartest people in

the world. what i bet is the first thing he said when he walked off the stage was i told you so. because he probably said, look, i didn't need to be there, and you know what? you told me i had to be there. why did i have to be there? because you're worried about the press giving me a hard time. now what? >> he missed out on a year of prep. >> it's hard. gillian: the other candidates made their cases 100, a thousand times. >> that's his responsibility to not listen to your gut. gillian: thank you so much for joining us. >> anytime. gillian: we'll check back to you soon. thanks. much more to come on the 2020 race. next hour we're going to speak to bloomberg senior national spokeman sabrina sing and tom steyer is going to talk about how he did in nevada tomorrow, check local listings for time and channel. and there, howard kurtz talks to white house secretary sean spicer on media buzz about the caucuses. and big political day.

leland: by tomorrow we'll already be looking ahead to super tuesday as voters get ready to get to the caucuses in nevada. and casey stegall is live in el paso where bernie is taking the stage. hi. >> good to see you. yeah, bernie sanders obviously wasting no time at all. he is really starting to shift his focus now on states like california and texas here because obviously there are a huge number of delegates up for grabs and he wants to try and work and build on this momentum that he's enjoying, but there's also something else really important going on here. trying to reach early voters, because early voting here in the lonestar state, got underway last week, and it will happen all next week up until super tuesday, about four days before super tuesday and about half of registered voters in the state of texas cast their ballots

early. so it's crucial for the campaigns to reach those people now. now, last night in nevada, sanders took a shot at president trump's economy and he's expected to deliver much of the same messages across texas. >> it's not just a rigged economy. the american people regardless of their political views understand that we have a corrupt political system. that's it. what our campaign tries to be is honest, to take the difficult issues and put them on the table and not hide them. >> now, bernie sanders will head to san antonio tonight after he visits el paso and this is a while wind tour. 's going to be holding a rally before the nevada caucuses actually close and tomorrow, then he's moving on to houston and austin, where he will be holding similar events again,

all aimed at trying to harness the energy for those oh, so precious texas delegates and texas, by the way isn't winner take all, they're awarding proportionately by district. and large districts, again, there's a lot of chance here for these democratic presidential hopefuls to swallow up some big delegate counts that night. back to you. leland: we will quick, casey, any sign of beto on the campaign trail for anybody in texas? >> not at this point. and it will be interesting to see if he may be makes an appearance here in el paso. we're, of course, in his hometown. we don't expect that he is going to throw his support behind bernie sanders, but stranger things have happened in the world of politics, i suppose. so anything is possible at this point, but rally now five hours or so from starting here and you've already gotten the people starting to line up. the barricades are going up and a lot of folks are excited to

see sanders here. >> he got 17,000 or so in washington state and see what the numbers are where you are, casey, thank you very much. this is something on the top of everyone's minds as it comes to the immigration issue. iconic american travel company says it's no longer going to allow ice agents on their buses to search for illegal immigrants without a warrant. what that could mean in the presidential race when we come back. during wayfair's mattress markdowns event

>> developing now, greyhound bus services joining other major american bus companies in blocking border patrol agents from boarding buses to do immigration checks if they don't have a warrant. garrett tenney has been following the story since early this morning, what's the latest, garrett? >> this is important, it's something that border agents do on a regular basis. federal law gives them the right to board buses within 100 miles of the border and ask passenger about immigration status. and up until how greyhound says it had to let that happen and now border agents will no longer be able board without search warrants after a memo that says they couldn't board buses

without a warrant or permission. greyhound says our primary concern is the safety of our customers and team members and we're confident that these changes will lead to improved experience for all parties involved. the administration is seeing its first signs of success on another immigration enforcement front targeting sanctuary jurisdictions. ice's latest strategy is to issue administrative subpoenas to state and local agencies for information on individuals who were arrested. on friday, the san diego county sheriff's department announced it will respond to the subpoenas its received despite strict laws limiting cooperation and says in a statement while the sheriff's department does not enforce immigration laws, we are obligated to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas. the information requested by the subpoenas released to the providing of documents not honoring detainers and transferring individuals to ice. ice has now issued similar subpoenas to law enforcement agencies in colorado, connecticut, new york, oregon where five subpoenas were served

friday in the acting field office director said, ice will not be governed by dangerous sanctuary laws and community leaders who put politics over public safety to interfere with our mission to remove dangerous criminal aliens from the community. one thing about these subpoenas that's important to point out, they are administrative subpoenas, meaning they're signed by immigration officials not a judge and that's an argument we could see play out if this ends up going to court. gillian: the most surprising part to the story i didn't realize immigration officials did that in the first place. >> got on buses within 100 miles of the border. gillian: thank you, garrett, appreciate it. leland: more on this with the former acting deputy secretary and immigration services, ken cuccinell cuccinelli. do you take greyhound saying they're magnanimous about this or they're caving to pressure?

>> well, i don't know what brought it on. you referenced the long statutory jurisdiction of the border patrol to deal with the border. they don't just stand at the border on the international line to enforce the security of this country. they have to have the ability to do that in some depth and so, you know, it's a sad day to see something like this and hopefully #boycot greyhound will pick up and we'll see how it plays out. but we'll have some discussions with this. this is not something that they talk to us about before they made their public comments, so for us, it's ultimately about how we can all work together and the effectiveness of our law enforcement efforts. leland: noteworthy-- >> it isn't always about the rhetoric. leland: noteworthy they didn't talk to you guys first. if you broaden this out, is this an isolated incident? are you seeing other businesses

becoming more actively hostile towards ice and towards enforcement efforts that you have going on? >> this is more the political activist community, sanctuary cities effort is really more where it has been typically focused and you reported on some interaction with san diego sheriff's office and some the lawsuits that isis brought to gather the information that they need to do their law enforcement duties, imposed by congress, by the way, and you know, we hear a lot of congressmen who say they don't like them, but they don't do anything to change them. they also don't do much all the time to help us actually enforce that law. but ice has done a good job of plowing ahead. we have a lot of local and state partners across the country and it's just very sad to see this politicalization of law enforcement. the president commented on it in the state of the union and says he's not going to stand for it as the president and personal

ultimately responsible for enforcing federal law and we're implementing that vision of president trump's, again, with all of the folks who are cooperating with us. and where they won't, we go do our job anyway. leland: garrett tenney reported that you all are now seeing the first signs of success on targeting sanctuary jurisdictions, last weekend, sir, that we were talking about the border patrol sending in some of their special operations teams into cities like chicago, like boston, like los angeles to help round up dangerous illegal immigrants and fugitives from the law. have you started to see some real success with that, any numbers you can share with us? >> i don't of numbers to share with you at this point. we don't typically share operational information until any particular operation is over. and, but i will say while the customs border protection officers got a lot of press for joining ice in their efforts, the reality is that other

federal law enforcement agencies partner with ice as well and they don't necessarily make the new york times. and those are just healthy relationships in the law enforcement community that ice has been participating in for a long, long time. and there are very good reasons for it. in addition to removing people here illegally and the priority as you noted are criminals who are here illegally meaning they've committed other crimes, but that isn't all. anybody who is not here legally is and has a removal order has been through the due process that they get, which is very generous in this country, is also subject to removal and those are done with local partners, state and federal law enforcement partners and that will continue. where we don't have that or they're standing in the way. ice will double down and do their job. they're committed as professionals to do their job as best they can. >> and one might think the stepped up enforcement might

have people leeching on their own. -- leaving on their own. and talk about the travel ban. reasonable, the first couple of weeks of the travel ban the beginning of the administration have, shall we say, some problems. and now adding a few new countries, kazakhstan, burma, nigeria, tanzania. take us through sort of the general thought process hyped those countries and do you feel as though you all are on stable enough legal ground that we're not going to have the same problems in roll out of travel bohn 1.0? >> remember how that ended up? it ended up in hawaii v trump and the chief justice writing the opinion for the supreme court said the president could hardly be on stronger legal footing. he has natural article two authority and congress passed the law that he's using.

we're on strong ground and all of these are targeted additions to what you call the travel ban, i use nigeria as an example. the president of nigeria used a blue ribbon, he didn't call it that to fix the problems that led to the security concerns that got them on that list in the fairs pla-- first place and he's committed to getting off the list and that's exactly what we want. we want the cooperative security with the other countries. leland: thank you for coming in and the beautiful blue ridge mountains behind you. >> we love it here in virginia. leland: and two hours away from the start of the nevada caucuses and candidates like amy klobuchar are scrambling to get the vote out. and henderson, nevada looks a little rainy there, high, griff. >> it is, indeed. leland. they'll open the doors in about 30 minutes. they know the eyes of the nation

are on them. how confident are they feeling? we've got an insight take. we'll tell you, coming up. hi guys. this is the chevy silverado

with the world's first invisible trailer. invisible trailer? and it's not the trailer right next to us? this guy? you don't believe me? hop in. good lookin' pickup, i will say that. oh wow. silverado offers an optional technology package with up to 15 different views - including one enhanced view that makes your trailer appear invisible. wow. - that's pretty sweet. - that's cool. oooohh! that's awesome. where'd the trailer go? i love it. it's magic.

where's the truck? he's a systems what?erback. parked it right there. male voice: what did i tell you, boys? tonight we eat like kings! (chuckling) you're a genius, gordon! brake! hit the brake! uh, which one's the brake? (crash, bottles smashing) stop! stop! sto-o-op! (brakes squealing) what's happening? what? there's a half of cheesesteak back there.

with geico, the savings keep on going. just like this sequel. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. raccoon: i got the cheesesteak! >> democratic presidential hopefuls now awaiting the kickstart of the nevada caucuses two hours from now. most of the candidates making a mad dash across the state and griff jenkins, also known to make a mad dash. he's on the ground there with the latest. griff, what have you got? >> gillian, people are starting to show up on liberty high school and they'll begin that process in two hours. the doors open at 10 a.m. local. nevada already making history for their first ever early voting of nearly 75,000 votes cast and they don't want to make history with the sort of mess that iowa created. now, here in nevada they've scrapped the app and also the google form that was going to be

the backup. they'll do traditional phoning in to headquarters and a picture of it and back it up with paper forms. only time will tell how that will go. and an official didn't want to go on camera and i asked how confident are you this will work out well? no i'm not because young people get involved and they don't have the experience. candidates are making their final push and their closing arguments as to why they're best fit to take on donald trump. watch. >> i'm here one more time to look you in the eye and ask you to caucus for you. >> every time somebody tells you a woman can't beat donald trump, well, i don't know about a woman, but i can tell you elizabeth warren can beat donald trump. >> look, this campaign is just getting started and finally a place where there are folks that represent the country. >> i'm not leaving stone unturned and not about representing just half of america, but all of america. >> i've got news for the republican establishment and news for the democratic

establishment, they can't stop us. >> a few things to watch for, one is whether or not elizabeth warren can capitalize on a strong debate this past week. and whether biden will continue to fall like he did in iowa and new hampshire. and officials inside are worried about the rain. you can see a little rain coming down. they're afraid it may affect turnout and judging from the parking lot starting to fill up. it looks like so far it's not impacting it. gillian: i think the million dollar question on everybody's mind, is this whole operation going to go down smoothly or a repeat of iowa? a lot of people following that and we'll check with you and next hour you can keep us up to speed. thanks, griff. leland: meanwhile, president trump went after bernie sanders ahead of today's caucus and started off yesterday at a rally in vegas. >> bernie's too emotional, he's screaming, going crazy. >> all right, with that we bring in talk radio host, tony katz

voice of minuneapolis. and what do you think about the president's road show, before a caucus he's in the state with a rally. >> smart plan, smart way to do it. newt gingrich said if he got the nomination in 2012 he would go where barack obama was giving a speech not knowing what he would say and he would immediately explain why barack obama was wrong. this is standard operating procedure and it's a good one. feel the thunder-- steal the thunder and i was there when the president had the rally in new hampshire and there was a divide in excitement. the president's supporters versus kind of the begrudging of the democrats, who they were going to be voting for. it's politics 101 and it's a smart move. leland: the president likes to talk about the crowd sizes.

the only person comparing is bernie sanders 17,000. and you go to rallies the person that generates the most excitement next to president trump, sometimes comparebly to president trump is bernie sanders. >> i wouldn't go so far as comparebly. there's an interesting story, you watch the democratic apparatus, they're up in arms, we can't have a socialist candidate and we can't have the-- he is the democratic party, he's set the stage in 2016. his problem is that he was a much more formidable candidate in 2016 and now that people have seen results from trump not just talking points from trump they're more opt to go his direction and they realize bernie goes further and further into this socialist love fest. everybody complaining about bernie sanders and worried about bernie sanders, you let bernie sanders own the party. you all want medicare for all, that's bernie sanders. you all want to talk about the 99% versus the 1% in a much

stronger way than obama did, that's bernie sanders. don't get mad that he's having result. get mad that you didn't put him in the trunk four years ago. get mad that you didn't put him-- >> and you're looking at it from the democratic establishment point of view that seems to feel as though. at least for a good portion of them, bernie sanders being the nominee means the reelection of president trump. there are some republicans who do not necessarily agree with that. lisa booth last night on the ingram angle. >> bernie sanders is the toughest candidate for president trump to face in the general election. he will be the democratic nominee. he's got that message. i think that it could appeal to the forgotten man and woman that president trump was able to appeal to. i've heard a lot of republicans acting like somehow this is going to be an easy race against bernie sanders. it will not be. leland: thoughts? >> i'll give you a couple. first, i think that's an a--

astute observation, you would think that the culinary union would be up in arms, but brought up that they don't want their health care taken away. bernie is it the guy to take away the health care and he's up by double digits in that race and even with the poll coming out with 1,000 respondents to the poll he's got a lot of people behind him and the question, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, a lot of those people are going to say to themselves, my economy is pretty good and bernie is a little too much to me. they can take this election, i do believe that trump against bernie can still take this election because the democrats can't handle the fact that the socialists will have the party and they'll work against him and republicans are working against him and rational minds are

working against him and a tougher road, but let's not deny his popularity, on that lisa is accurate. leland: one can imagine bernie saying we're ending fracking over and over in pennsylvania, and what it will do to turnout in our next conversation. tony katz, thank you. and special coverage of our coverage of the nevada caucuses hosted by bret baier that begins at 4 p.m. eastern today. gillian: investigators now searching for two missing children in the state of idaho. we'll tell you next why their mother is now behind bars in hawaii coming up. let's get down to business.

>> the mother of two missing idaho children is fighting extradition today after being arrested in hawaii. lauren green is live with the

latest on this story. >> hey, gillian, laurie vallow is now in custody for the disappearance of her two children in a case that continues to get more and more bizarre. the 46-year-old vallow appeared in court friday in hawaii on charges of felony child abandonment. the judge refused to lower her bail, set at $5 million, believing she is a flight risk. her two children, 7-year-old jj and 17-year-old tylee were last seen in september. the state of idaho is requiring vallow's extradition. nancy grace explained lying to police and obstruction of justice. >> the cops came to here and said where are your children? she lied, no doubt about it and last but not least, contempt of court, the court ordered her, bring the children to court. show me they're alive. she wouldn't do it. >> vallow fled to hawaii where she married chad daybell, a

publisher specializing in end times books. the two married 14 days after daybell's wife died suspicious. and shows that her first husband shows that vallow believed she was a god preening for the world's apocalypse. the children's grandmother is baffled. >> this doomsday group or cult, however you want to refer to them. >> hopefully those involved in the process can lead to just resolution to this case and of course, we're hoping against hope that tylee and jj are out there somewhere and will be reunited with their other family members at some point. >> vallow's next court appearance is march 2nd, gillian. gillian: it is as those children's grandmother says, a baffling case.

>> army sergeant first class javier gutierrez laid to rest on friday. family and friends gathered at a memorial service in san antonio to pay their final respects to the fallen soldier. gutierrez is one of two american service members killed in afghanistan earlier this month when a man in afghan army uniform opened fire. he served 11 years in the army, finishing his time as a green beret. beret. >> america's longest war, according to the trump administration, may be a step closer now to coming to an end. u.s. led coalition forces and the taliban are taking part in a week long reduction of violence across afghanistan. this comes after months of negotiations. secretary of state mike pompeo says the two sides have agreed to move forward with a permanent peace deal as soon as february 29th if the cease-fire is deemed successful. this would then pave the way for a phased withdrawal of u.s. troops from afghanistan. i think, leland, it's important to say at the outright, the vast

majorities of americans are in favor of this war coming to an end. it's cost trillions of dollars, thousands of lives and there are questions asked about the viability of what is essentially a road map to peace, you have long and deep experience with this with your work in the middle east. leland: there have been attempts all over the middle east for brokered solutions and they've never helped in the middle east. tigers don't change their stripes and what looking at this tells you and shows you, how difficult it is to conquer afghanistan and you look at the video and it could be from the mujaheddin taking on the soviets in the 1980's, the afghans taking on the brits. never before has a world super power been able to bring afghanistan to heel. it just hasn't happened and one had as to really wonder what is making this administration feel as though they can trust the

taliban? because that's what this is is trusting a group of terrorists. >> evidence that just a couple of months ago, president trump was on twitter saying i'm canceling a meeting in camp david with the taliban because they killed more american service members. gillian: like most peace plans look great on paper and now put pedal to the metal and the proof will be in the pudding. leland: if they're wrong, americans will pay with their lives. we'll watch that and see what happens the next few days in the cease-fire. obviously foreign policy is big part of the democratic primary. nevada begins their caucus in just a couple of hours. mark meredith is standing by to let us know how it's going to go. >> i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise. my son, he did say that you were the safe option. and that's the nicest thing you ever said to me.

the nevada caucuses just a couple os away in the silver state, 36 delegates up for grabs in what could be a make or break contest for a number of the democratic presidential hopefuls, welcome to america's news headquarters from washington as we follow this i'm leland vittert, important to note in 2 hours the doors closed which means the caucuses begin and in a couple of hours from that if all goes well we get the results. >> yeah, we hope that you'll stick with us at fox news and we will have continuing coverage of all that, great to be with you, i'm gillian turner, one lingering concern here for

everybody, i think, for the candidates, voters, for the dnc is whether this entire operation is going to go down according to planned, people are, you know -- leland: what could go wrong? gillian: widely concerned in the wake of iowa caucus, mark meredith is covering that, he's in las vegas with all the latest, late-breaking developments, mark. >> good afternoon, gillian, as you are right, that's right, so many people are waiting to see what will happen here in nevada, it will match what we saw in iowa a couple of weeks ago, it's important to point out that the state party that the running state caucuses, it's not run by the state of nevada, always interesting to see how things change up state to state as the processes play out. i want to show you a live look inside caucus locations, not too far where we are here in las vegas as we are getting a better idea what would be different in nevada compared to what was in iowa because democrats ditched the plan to use same app developer that iowa used

defending results, instead instinct shares will use i pads to help calculate results from there the results tabulated and called into state party. >> most of it will be paper, again, record everything on paper pa lots -- ballots and call it to special hotline, hopefully no long waits at all for them to get through. >> and once those results are calculated, we expect to get 3 different numbers today, that would be the first alignment which is the first round of the caucuses essentially where the breakdown was, the final alignment, the second time that they've done this and the total number of delegates to the county conventions won by the candidates, that's the numbers a lot of people will be looking at because the delegates get to national stage and that's what's so important when you're going for the democratic nomination, you want to make sure you have

enough delegates when it comes to convention, we have seen in nevada amazing amount of people show up for early caucuses, 4 days, a couple of days ago they had a chance to come out and make preference known earlier, something that's not been done in nevada before, it'll be interesting, gillian, to see that was helpful for the party as they already have results in the bag or whether or not this is something that'll just cause more confusion and chaos at this point we simply don't know, long day ahead for the folks here on the ground, democrats say they are confident that this will be different from what we saw in iowa just a few weeks ago, gillian. gillian: yeah, i think, mark, 75,000 people voted early, incredible, so we will be tracking how that all plays into the big picture once this caucus, you know, gets underway, thanks so much, mark. >> thanks. leland: president trump also made a stop of his own in nevada saying in a rally friday that he will win the state no matter which democrat is there in 2020 come november, david at the

white house, hillary clinton won nevada by 2 and a half points, what's the president's plan? >> president trump hopes to win nevada, several states out west, he made a swing out west, he was in phoenix, he was in colorado, he was also in nevada, i think it's safe bet, leland he will be watching the caucus results today to see who comes in as you know mike bloomberg not officially competing but president trump talking about him lately, president trump spent several days at the end of last week, that's no coincidence that he spent time in nevada before today's democratic caucus in a rally, he took time to bash democrats and tout his own agenda, take a listen. >> we are standing up for the people of nevada, we must vote toward everything we have toward victory in 2020 november 3rd, november 3rd, only this way can we save the america we love and drain the washington swamp once and for all. >> the president also taking aim

on twitter at the caucus system in nevada, you just heard mark's report, remember that few weeks ago did not go well in iowa because of that app, democrats in nevada are saying, that's not going to happen, so hopefully things will run smoothly today and i'm talking about coincidences not a coincidence that president trump is making trips to nevada, he made a trip to new hampshire, also to iowa where democrats are holding these contests expect to see the president travel to more of these according to administration official leland and tomorrow president trump will actually head to india to meet with modi for a few days before heading back to the united states, we will see where president trump heads as super tuesday contest comes photo does, leland. leland: one might think that south carolina will be itinerary before saturday, thank you very much, gillian. gillian: well, bernie sanders has issued warning to russia that's filing report that u.s. officials told the senate or

moscow is attempting to meddle, to med until the democratic primary race on his behalf. this being made public yesterday. correspondent lucas is here with the latest on this, big news. >> big news, gillian, first report said that russians were trying to help donald trump in 2020 and now alleged moscow wants to help bernie sanders, speaks ahead of the caucuses president trump weighed in. >> we want to get along with russia, they are sick people, the radical lefts attempts to poison our democracy and overturn the last election, have totally ended in big-fat failure. >> sanders campaign appear to confirm the news and issued following statement, my message to putin is clear, stay out of american elections and as president i will make sure that you do it, in 2016 russia used internet propaganda to so division our country, my understanding is they are doing it again in 2020. one of the democratic candidates hope to go defeat bernie sanders

says president trump needs to publicly acknowledge russia's attempt to meddle once and again in 2020. >> a lot of people see this as patriotism check especially those who serve, what does he do, he makes a joke about it to vladimir putin, when you think about it, hundreds of thousands of americans have lost their lives in battle feel standing up for democracy. >> michael bloomberg tweeted the following, this is a no-brain e for the russians, they nominate the weakest candidate to take on puppet trump or they elect a socialist president. responding to president trump house intel committee chairman adam schiff fired tweet of his own, quote, the only thing americans despise more than foreign actors a president unwilling to do anything to stop it. gillian: now it looks like whoever is president next go-around will have to deal with this situation, democrat or republican president trump, lucas, thanks so much. leland. leland: whoever loses this time around can complain about the russians as well, former vice president joe biden is making

case to nevada voters hoping the state's diverse electorate, jacqui heinrich on the ground with the former vp and his plans, hi, jacqui. >> hey, leland, depending on black voters to act as fire wall after abysmal finishes in first two voting states in new hampshire, he didn't meet the threshold for delegates, but his campaign. ed iowa and new hampshire didn't look like the other states demographically, hoping that a diverse electorate in nevada would produce different results, nearly a third of nevada's population is latino and all the candidates including biden are courting their support, especially after the powerful union whose members are 50% latino declined to endorse a candidate. at the caucuses biden made visit to union workers and today he will spend caucus night at

another union headquarters but if biden doesn't perform well could test fire wall support that he needs in south carolina to revise campaign, former mayor mike bloomberg has been pitching himself as modern at -- alternative and biden to shut it down. >> isn't it amazing barack's best friend, a guy who wouldn't endorse barack number 1 when we ran the first time, this is a guy who we passed our signature piece of legislation obamacare, he said it was a disaster or disgrace, it was disgrace. >> biden and bloomberg have been trading barbs after bloomberg claimed support from barack obama and biden challenged it that bloomberg was a republican.

found himself getting criticism from all candidates, whether he's had impact yet to be seen. voters in nevada cannot caucus for him because he entered the race so late, his first test won't come till super tuesday, leland. leland: all right, speaking of michael bloomberg, he has spent the past couple of days revising some of his statements from that rather bad debate performance on wednesday. harvey weinstein going into court and not michael bloomberg, we will see if we have the video of michael bloomberg and his sound bite from wednesday night's debat a listen. >> we have a very few nondisclosure agreements. >> how many? >> let me finish. >> how many? >> none of them accused me of doing anything, maybe they didn't like a joke i told and let me -- leland: bloomberg

saying that the 3 women who made direct allegations against him over the past years could tell their story saying a statement of any of them wanting to be released from nondisclosure agreements so they can talk about allegations they should contact the company, his company and given a release, it's unclear that bloomberg's reversal on nda's would include case involving explosive quote cited in the washington post where bloomberg allegedly asked plaintiff how is married life, plaintiff responded that she was pregnant and the baby due following september, he allegedly respond today her, quote, kill it, joining us now senior national spokeswoman, appreciate you joining us from new york, sabrina. so it seems as though we will hear from this woman if reports are true, what's the campaign's response? >> well, leland thank you so much for having me and remote from new york, look, yesterday was a welcome day, mike made the decision to release the 3 women that had made -- that he made

comments against and that he had nda's out -- against him to release them from their nda's and that is because, you know, this is something that he thought about, he's an executive of a large company, i think over 20,000 employees but he's running for president and he's running to represent all women, all people, all across the country and the me too movement exposed that we have to be mindful of the accusations that are brought forward. leland: sabrina, the issue of nda isn't a new one, 48 hours before he was saying no i'm not going to do it, if he's going to be the decisive president and leader why not make this decision before coming out publicly, no, doesn't it undermine every statement going forward of what he's going to do if 48 hours later he comes out and changing mind? >> absolutely not. this is a decision that's been talked about on the campaign at the company, this was mike's decision and had nothing to do with what happened prior to 48 hours ago, this is something that he decided he we wanted to take the actions to allow the

women to be free and speak out, he believes that women should be able to, you know -- leland: 48 hours before he made the same decision except he made it on the other side of the coin saying no, i'm not going to let them speak out, what changed in those 48 hours, this wasn't a new issue, this was a new decision on the same issue? >> well, again, this is something that mike had been thinking about, this is something that, you know, mike has -- i can only speak from my work experience and my people around me and mike has so many women in senior positions on his campaign that have been with him for 20 or 30 years, this was something that he wanted to do, this was the right decision and frankly i really respect the fact that, you know, he recognized and took responsibility and said, you know, this is the right decision for the campaign and if i am president or if i remain president of my company, we will no longer have nda's that bound women from discussing any harassment or allegation against them. leland: as you rightly point out there were other changes in his statement that we didn't have

time to get to. today is the nevada caucus and while he's not really on the ballot in nevada, not competing there, he's competing there in terms of ad dollars, these are the billboards that have gone up on las vegas strip particularly targeting donald trump, donald trump has declared bankruptcy 6 times, donald trump cheats at golf, all sorts of different tag lines he has up there, this is what the las vegas sun had to say about this billboard that was on their front payment, the main story on the day of the caucuses, it also showed an ability by the former new york mayor to turn the tables on trump by subverting the president's ability to control messages and belittle opponents, all of bloomberg's messages attack elements of trump's boostful representations of himself, so should we read this as the bloomberg campaign running a two-part campaign, one is the primary and you are competing in super tuesday and the parallel, we are the nominee, we are running against the president?

>> the person we are running against is donald trump and i think that while we are still going through the democratic primary process mike is the only candidate in this race that has layed down roots and an entire infrastructure in the super tuesday states and beyond. i think we certainly are looking at bernie sanders as one of top competitors in the democratic primary but at the end of the day we feel confident that we will be if ones to take on donald trump in november and all the billboards of what they were saying is accurate, nice way for donald trump to be met on the -- on the vegas strip. >> what do you make of the polling post the debate that show your man's favorability ratings that were largely based off of bought advertising, not earned media, certainly not being on the ground in states, his favorability plummeting, how are you guys changing course for the next debate before south carolina and then before super tuesday? >> well, just to use mike's own words, he said yesterday or the day before, wasn't best debate performance but he delivered one

of the most memorable lines to have night, what a country to be in when a democratic socialist can be a millionaire and own 3 homes directly referring to bernie sanders, you know, i think there's always room for improvement but, you know, we have to remember for a minute here that mike has been on debate stage since 2009, we are talking over 10 years when he was on debate stage, he was going up against 5 other candidates and within 30 second, not even a full minute had gone by, he was being attacked. so, you know, i think we are to be expected for the next debate, we will expect more attacks but he's prepping and getting ready for the next one. leland: if nothing else attacks show that he's in the game, if ain't cheering or booing you aren't in the game. we had the one about him being the socialist with 3 homes, we had them saying that sanders was the one that wrote tax code when he was complaining about

billionaires not paying high taxes, what are the next lines of attacks we can expect? >> i'm trying to recover from the yogi bear reference there. leland: you're in new york, i'm trying to go with it. >> bernie sanders' record deserves to be scrutinized and we are talking about someone with mike bloomberg who has gotten things out, delivered for the city, he took on the nra in one and he took on, you know, tobacco companies in one, i think when it comes to a record of guns, you know, reducing gun violence is something that mike has made a priority throughout his career and i think bernie sanders really has some questions to answer about his own career and legislation that he supported or, in fact, voted against in congress. i think over 5 times was the brady background bill, that, you know, put more lives in danger, i think that's something that should certainly come up on the stage next time. leland: with that questions about stop and frisk that we don't have time to get to right

now but we will the next time we have you back, welcome back to the trail, sabrina and see you soon. >> thank you. gillian: deadlock in harvey weinstein's criminal trial, the judge telling jurors to head book -- back to drawing board. deliberations pick up on monday, after the break can my side be firm?

leland: iran says 6 people have died from the coronavirus bringing total killed outside of mainland china to 19 people and sparking new fears over whether the virus can be contained and exactly how deadly it is, christina coleman tracking from bureau, hi, christina. >> today's south korea reported 8 fold jump in infections in the last 4 days to 433 cases, many of the new cases are linked to a church and hospital in and around the nation's fourth largest city, smartphone makers shut down after worker diagnosed with the virus and today iran confirmed 28 cases of coronavirus and 6 deaths which

makes it the country with highest death toll so far outside of china. and in northern italy today dozens of towns went into lockdown, so far more than 2300 people have died from covert 19 worldwide, most of the fatalities in mainland china. >> the window of opportunities not only convey in outbreak, we still have a chance to contain it but while doing that, at the same time for any -- >> also dozens of british and

european passengers from that quarantine ship arrived in britain today and they will undergo further quarantine and egypt had the first and only known confirmed case of covert 19 in africa, the spread could be deadly with already strained health systems, provide online training on the coronavirus to at least 11,000 african health workers as safety measure, leland. leland: all right, christina coleman, thank you very much, president trump has talked about this as well, gillian. gillian: jury deliberations in harvey weinstein's criminal trial are going to pick back up on monday, the judge there telling jurors to return with a full verdict after they fail today reach unanimous decision on all 5 counts against weinstein on friday. the jury was unable to agree to the two counts of predatory sexual assault, these are the two most serious charges weinstein is facing and could carry a life sentence. here to talk about what this

could mean for the rest of weinstein's legal battle in new york and subsequent criminal trial in california, former federal prosecutor and partner law firm, jim, they reached verdict on 3, if you could read the tealeaves a little bit for us and tell us what this says, if anything, about where the jury will ultimately end up on weinstein. >> it's always very interesting to think there's perfect logic. gillian: we are trying to get a sense of where we are heading. >> quickly erase the tape if i'm wrong, the 3 counts are with 2 different victims, the charges with anabella, sentencing enhancement, potentially life because predatory pattern. in each of the counts anabella plus the other victims if they had acquitted there's no reason to be considering the most

serious with anabella. they are having hard time with age of her case, 90's, grappling with that but reached conviction on the other 3 counts. >> a lot of the case hinges on actress anabella, 50 year's old, her charges are past the statute of limitations, is it fair that she's getting kind of counted in as some people would say on the back end of this trial? >> well, i might remind you of bill cosby trial, it had so many victims, the judge said pick 5 that aren't part of this trial and you can use them but not the other 10, there's kind of a safety in numbers. the prosecution wants to have an opportunity -- gillian: these alleged victims are not part of this case, you can -- even counting in one of them sounds like it's a stretch, isn't it supposed to be one of the instances where everything is bound clearly? >> well, here is the thing, the predatory charge, the predatory pattern specifically warrants

inclusion of multiple victims, it's going to call by the nature of the charge for more than one victim, so that's really the hook they are using to get her testimony in there, it is -- it's controversial area because there's accumulation, critical mass where the defense looks at it one victim but there's -- gillian: let's say weinstein or anyone in the hypothetical case where these kinds of alleged victims is convicted, how is the jury expected to just now whitewash the fact that, you know, x number, in this case four other women have come forward and level the claims, you know all the details. >> a couple of things, federally it's absolutely fair game to consider anything that he or she can hear about a defendant, when there's multiple victims that

testify, even though they are not charged the judge is in a position to consider that, everything is linked to a charge even though anabella's event is outside of statute of limitations, linked to predatory charge a judge would be able to consider all 3 victims here quite easily in meeting out a sentence at the end to have day. gillian: i want to call for this line we pulled from the prosecution's closing argument, they wrote, they are creating a universe in which they are tripping women of common sense and hotel invitations, the plane tickets they accept, the jobs they hope to obtain. is that what this trial is about? >> well, the defense took a pretty controversial stand? >> all throughout the trial. basically say he's kind of predatory and he's pretty creepy, not in these words. gillian: but the women, they are not so innocent. it's gotten a lot of heat --

>> feels like 1950's, in the old days rape was a challenging case to prosecute because there was societal norms that didn't favor the victim. gillian: we have now societal norms today when women are not responsible of being raped, throwback to 1950's era sentiment here. >> it's a mixed bag, it's a difficult line to walk for that attorney to kind of make the comments but i think what he's getting at is a combination of consent and nullification and it's not pretty but suggesting that these are independent-minded folks that made a transactional decision to hook up with a guy who was all too really to take advantage of it, not particularly flattery to harvey but defense. >> we appreciate it. >> sure thing. gillian: leland. leland: indiana couple facing

charges for harassing two trump boys, accused of using car to drive boys off the road after asking if they were trump supporters, the couple took one of the boy's flag and ran it over and threatened to beat up one of the boys, police saying friday night smith was in custody, at times like this you always ask the question what if it was on the other foot, what what's if these were two trump supporters who had in some way or another done the same thing to a couple of bernie sanders supporters or any other members of the democratic presidential primary cast, one might think that the reaction and the outrage would be slightly larger than it is now. gillian: you might this so, it's the shame the degree of politics infused or infected all elements of society today, you know, going -- you know, everything

from what's his -- i'm totally blanking on the actor, african-american actor. leland: jussie smollett. makes you nostalgic for clinton impeachment hearings, there you go. all right, gillian. gillian: doors are open now for caucus goers in the state of nevada, key state for the democratic contenders out on the trail, peter doocy is in vegas tracking everything minute by minute, peter. >> there's a rainstorm as people go to caucus locations, we will wrap it all up for you right after this.

candidates are trying to fight 36 delegates, peter doocy in las vegas following it all as folks begin to head in, high, peter. >> leland, there has been a last-minute change here, officials at different precincts throughout the state are going to start reporting results using an app made by google. that's been scrapped, they will do it the old-fashion way, by phone. >> you know, i'm not the tech expert here, so i will go with what the tech experts think it's best, but i hope at this point after the warning that came out of iowa, that nevada has absolutely figured out how to do this and how to lock down the results so they are quick and accurate. >> also just in from the nevada democratic party, 10,000 people registered as democrats during the early voting period ahead of today's caucus which might not just have an impact today but also come november in this

critical swing state. >> and if you're still making up your mind then i am here one more time to look you in the eye and ask you to caucus for me tomorrow so that we can turn the page and deliver a better life in america before its too late. >> michael bloomberg not on the ballot today but he rubbed most of his rivals the wrong way this week at the debate and by running ads that make him look like he was barack obama's right-hand man. >> by the way, isn't amazing how we found out how everybody is barack's best friend now? man, i look at all the ads, it's amazing. i wonder where the hell -- where the heck they were when i was vice president with him. >> and the turnout during the early-voting period was very high, democratic officials say they were pleased but one thing that could have an impact today, something they don't get a lot of here in nevada and that's rain, leland. leland: excellent point you end

up in terms of the weather, something to always watch when it comes for turnout, what is the general consensus there in terms of who the turnout helps and hurts considering the early vote? >> every person, every candidate, every staffer that you ask about who is helped by high turnout you will say it's them. [laughter] leland: perhaps low turnout theory guy -- the other guy who is hurt by that, peter doocy, excellent reporting. gillian. gillian: diverse population will play role in today's caucuses, we will bring the center for immigration studies executive director mark, mark, i want you to first set the scene for us on nevada and immigration, we know hugely, huge proportion of immigrant residents in the state both legal and illegal are undocumented, whatever you want to call them. >> it's immigration really has grown rapidly in nevada from a pretty low level, from 1980 to

today, 1,000% increase in the number of people who speak a foreign language at home, immigrants. gillian: a thousand%? >> a thousand% increase. 1 out of 6 babies born in nevada today is born to and illegal immigrant mother, some of them have legal immigrant fathers or american citizens, that gives you a sense for how big immigration in general and illegal immigration specifically is in nevada. gillian: and so all of these voters, all of these immigrants and foreigners who are in the state of nevada are now looking at a top-tier candidate that is exclusively white? >> well, yeah, hopefully the citizens are the looking at the candidates. exactly. but, you know, the fact is democrat fight isn't going on for a long time and there were hispanic candidate, there were black candidates and they just didn't cut it and so i'm not sure that hispanic american voters in nevada are saying, well, there has to be hispanic

and we will vote for him. in other words, they are americans, they are worried about the same things as everybody else, they are democrats, maybe they are focus is on health care or what have you, but it's not like they are saying, well, okay, where is the hispanic candidate, we will vote for him no matter what. gillian: fair, that's a great point. some to have democratic candidates in the state already being accused of pandering to black and latino voters in the state of nevada as well as in south carolina, we saw, you know, the candidates deploy mariachi bands and gospel choirs, a lot of people are saying, blacks and latinos are saying this isn't what matters to us, you to come up with really strategic policies that speak to the issues we care about. >> yeah, shocking with politicians pandering to voters. but it does show the narrow and silly way that a lot of politicians view hispanic americans, black americans, in other words, like i said, they are just american voters like

any others, some may care more about education, some may care more about health care or foreign policy, i don't know, but the point is they are voters, approach them as americans and see how it goes. gillian: hasn't president trump talked about this, take a listen to what he had to say at one of his rallies. >> the great state of nevada, washington democrats put the needs of illegal immigrants before the well-being of american citizens, you know that, you have been complaining about it for a long time. it's one of the reasons you voted for trump. >> well, i mean, he's right, i think, in 2 ways, first the president talks a lot about sanctuary cities and that's a very targeted thing, not because -- and the issue is not that illegal immigrants are more likely to be criminals, some of them are criminals, a lot of illegal immigrants, every democratic candidate supports the idea that only the most heinous criminals who are illegal immigrants get deported, all the rest of them, if you're

a drunk driver, drug dealer, they send you back to immigrant community, how does that help immigrants who aren't drug dealers and wife-beaters, it's absurd and the other thing is all the democrats want continued illegal immigration, let's face it, they will say no they don't but they don't want to do anything to stop it, well, what does that do to job competition for people working in hotels, restaurants and -- and construction? nevada? gillian: jobs and employment in state of nevada which presumably all voters care the most about, thank you so much for joining us, appreciate it. leland. leland: while those democratic candidates woo latino voters grayhound bus line announcing policy change that could make part of border patrol agents to conduct immigration checks, what the new policy is and the dhs's response when we come back.

activist groups and aclu for allowing the checks which it said it was legally required to do but that changed after the associated press recently reported on internal memo informing border patrol agents that they couldn't board buses without either a warrant or permission. in a statement, greyhound said our primary is safety of customers and team members and we are confident they will lead to improved experience for all parties involved. federal law gives border patrol the right to board buses within 100 miles of the border. >> they don't just stand at the border on the international line to enforce the security of this country, they have to have the ability to do that in some depth and, so, you know, it's -- it's sad day to see something like this and hopefully #boycott greyhound will pick up. >> touted the administration's efforts to take on the many sanctuary jurisdictions across the country, latest to issue

subpoenas for information on individual who is have been arrested starting with departments in colorado, connecticut, new york, oregon and california. on friday, the san diego county sheriff's department first to announce it will comply with the subpoenas its received despite california's strict law limiting cooperation explaining in a statement while the sheriff's department does not enforce immigration laws, we are obligated to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas, the information requested by the subpoenas relate to providing documents not honoring detainers and transferring individuals to ice as reported earlier, important to note the subpoenas are administrative subpoenas, meaning they are signed by immigration officials not a judge and that's a distinction critics would likely use if they decide to follow subpoenas. greyhound is not trending. leland: you get the idea from talking to dhs chief deputy

app malfunction and all of that, peter doocy told us a few minutes ago they are moving away from app here in the state of nevada because that happened they are going back to old-fashion techniques involving paper. leland: one of the best reporters in the business that i know of mike allen as he was reviewingviewing this morning ws happening in nevada and all the ways changes from app, what could possibly go wrong, one would think that they have to be ready for a lot of things to go wrong, mike bloomberg is not on the ballot in nevada, he's playing there in terms of ad dollars. gillian: featuring on giant billboards. leland: was saw that. things like donald trump cheats at golf among a number of -- et cetera, seems like bernie sanders who is the undisputed front runner right now is getting a little worried about bloomberg, listen. >> if that's what happened in a

democratic debate, you know, i think it's quite likely that trump will chew him up and pit him out. i think that the american people will rebel against this type of oligarchy movement, we one person one vote, not a guy worth 60 billion buying an election. gillian: not buying an election, we will continue to cover this all day, make sure you tune in to our special coverage of the nevada caucuses hosted by bret baier at 4:00 p.m. eastern and will end at 6:00 and we will see you tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. leland: 1:00 p.m. you fox news sunday before that. check local listing, gillian turner with mr. sunday, see you tomorrow
