>> always a pleasure to be with you. building a stronger future together based upon a foundation of trust, respect and cooperation. that was the just of the president's comments following the bilateral meeting between the president and prime minister of india, the two gentlemen, leaders of the world's largest democracy such a variety of topics as you can well imagine including and perhaps most notably trade. >> another major focus of my discussions is forging bilateral economic relationships that is fair and reciprocal. our teams made tremendous progress on a comprehensive trade agreement and i'm optimistic we can reach a deal that will be of great importance to both countries. >> reaching a deal is what we are hearing from most officials.

those statements coming ahead of the president's official press conference which is coming up not long from now. it is also a fairly safe bet that he will once again hail india's burgeoning economy, it's promise and most notably its growing us partnership. >> i know that our two nations will achieve new breakthroughs, unlock new potential and forge even brighter futures, the two leaders of each country, we feel very strongly about each other. i'm pleased to say the us/indian partnership is truly stronger than ever before. >> that is music to the ears of the folks in india and back home especially from the business community perspective. you probably heard the president mention the defense deal between the us and india, multiple billion dollars deal for us aircraft and other military armaments. very interesting deal. the prime minister suggesting it

is very likely a harbinger of things to come. >> we talked a little about this yesterday, the six apache helicopters included in that, $3.6 billion, thank you, great to have you with us, missed you yesterday, thanks for joining us. while the president works to ink billion dollars trade deals with india the media at home is telling a different story. >> more style than substance, he has been taking in the sights, posing for a follow-up by the taj mahal, the when he didn't bankrupt. >> jenna ellis is the media is minimizing a significant trip for our country and she joins us live up next with more. 448,134 to be exact. they answered 410 questions in 8 categories

about vehicle quality. and when they were done, chevy earned more j.d. power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. so on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say "thank you, real people." you're welcome. we're gonna need a bigger room.

>> perhaps it was for the

president to promote his struggling brand. outside the united states. >> this trip will be more style than substance and pageantry over politics. the president is taking in the sights. >> looking for a photo outside the taj mahal, the one he didn't bankrupt. >> the mainstream media bashing donald trump's visit to india while the world's biggest democracy rolls out the red carpet for a warm welcome but are these trade talks crucial to our economic strategy. jenna ellis joins us to explain the story behind these displays of diplomacy. it is great to have you with us. i know you have been watching all the overnight coverage from india, the president coming out of the prime minister talking about the results of the bilateral meeting. what is your take on it and wise the mainstream media trying to

basically downplay what the president is doing in india. >> donald trump is crushing at all around the world and domestically and abroad on the world stage is the art of the dealmaker so we have seen phase i of the china deal, us mca went through successfully and now he is entering bilateral trade negotiations with india as one of our partners around the world and on the world stage so of course the fake news mainstream media is going to try to diminish his enormous success by trying to say somehow the presidential photo ops done at the taj mahal and in these important landmarks that every president whenever they are visiting a foreign country of course they partake in the pageantry because that is respectful to the country they are visiting the course they

will try to minimize the impact of what is really going on is donald trump is representing america first on the world stage in such a crucial and important way. shannon: you mentioned some of this, let's bring it up now you brought it up, headlines downplaying trump's visit to india and as you continue to discuss the efforts underway to perhaps make people not view this positively but take a look at this. india's public views, 37% have some confidence, 30% don't know or refuse to answer, 19% have a lot of confidence, 80% no-confidence at all. how much confidence you have in trump to do the right thing in world affairs. is the world trying to pay into this, look at these numbers? >> of course they are. we saw the trump rally, 100,000 people in the largest stadium, so well received. i saw the twitter feed and how

he was retweeted by so many in india and had such a warm welcome and reception. that is the reality so the mainstream media can try to diminish this but the american people and the people of india conceive of themselves that donald trump again is absolutely crushing it on the world stage and he and the prime minister have a great reciprocal mutually respectful relationship and this is going to go very far to make sure our trade agreements with india are fair to america and mutually beneficial our countries and promote not only the economic security of both our countries but also the shared values of democracy both our shared constitutions preserve and protect and one of the things that is not getting a lot of media attention is religious freedom and the fact that donald trump's administration has prioritized religious freedom around the world, something that is going

to be the focus. >> you will be talking about that and more later this week. we appreciate it, we will be right back, stay with us. awesome internet.

>> leaked audio of michael bloomberg at a private event reminding a lot of people he was once very much a member of the republican party. he blocks a multimillion dollar ad campaign touting his close relationship with the --'s audio flies in the face of that. bloomberg's campaign defended his comments saying what he was doing with that endorsement was trying to make a case for people who saw merit in both candidates. he was on the fence speaking to people who also were though he did ultimately endorse the former president. michael said this is the guy who released a commercial where it appears he is, was president obama's biggest fan and twitter user says seems like something joe biden might want to bring up at the debate. i'm sure it will come up for sure. >> a statement from the past

could come back especially if you're name is bloomberg. this video revealing aoc got her goddaughter into a charter school. >> the fourth congressional district in america. my goddaughter got into a charter school a block or two down. >> this was something she recorded on facebook live but the democratic socialist platform is anti-charter school. betsy devos helps her goddaughter get into charter school, a shame she works to deny that opportunity to every other disadvantaged family in

america, good for me but not the indeed. social media talk about this, typical i get school choice that you don't. this twitter user says she has personal experience saying i couldn't get my get i went to a charter school choice, a lot of recent stuff and no one pulled a string talking about how aoc was able to get her goddaughter in, really interesting point when you consider how anti-charter the democratic party's. >> for me and not for the, that is a good one and speaking of good ones, beautiful pictures out of india. ivanka trump one of them. >> this is a picture ivanka trump took yesterday in front of the taj mahal reminding a lot of people of the photo princess diana took not far from that

picture back in 1992, she visited that monument alone when she was having marital issues and, once later she did split from prince charles. a little walk down memory lane but people are comparing those pictures and it is the color schemes. >> very beautiful and another one of the president and first lady as well. >> picturesque. all the colors. the time is 27 minutes after the top of the hour and we are just days from the south carolina primary but is the palmetto state feeling the burn. >> bernie sanders seems to be the most democratic of all. >> i like where his head is with a, justice system. >> bernie will be trump. >> griff jenkins live in charleston talking with voters at the debate showdown and the king has been dethroned. the popstar that just knocked elvis presley off the top of the record charts. take allegra-d... a non-drowsy antihistamine plus a powerful decongestant.

thinking. >> bernie sanders because he seems to be the most democratic of all. >> i mean towards bernie. i like his ideology, he has a strong following and i think he can energize the party. >> i like pete with the, justice system, we need to improve that. >> is going to be bernie. the first thing i want dennis to get money out of politics. >> i like bernie but i can't support him now because of how i think trump will manipulate with bernie being a socialist. >> pete buttigieg was at an event yesterday marching with some union workers for mcdonald's saying hold the burgers, hold the fries, supersize my paycheck. black voters turned out to protest people to judge because they said he is hypocritical because he didn't do the $15 minimum wage in south bend. here is cliff albright, one of the black leaders. >> for pete to be out here

anytime soon and he will break down the delicate matter. ♪

, you are watching "fox and friends first" with first three states of the primary season in the review bernie sanders is the surefire front runner for the democratic nomination at least right now. south carolina's supertuesday can change the game so which candidates have the presidency within reach. trump 2020 campaign poster jim mclaughlin. thank you for joining us, let's bring up the numbers so people can see where, this is where we stand right now, the number of delegates allocated so far including the latest numbers from nevada. >> interesting because bernie

sanders has really been -- the front runner, the most votes in iowa, got the most votes in new hampshire and in nevada he. everybody away but his delegate lead isn't what you might think considering how well he has done with the popular vote. shannon: we have to talk about south carolina, south carolina there are 54 pledged delegates but that can break apart a lot of ways. >> the delegates are proportional depending what percentage of the vote you get here. the guy, all the pressure is on him a joe biden, joe biden always said this was his firewall especially among african-american voters in south carolina. if he doesn't win here he is done. a lot of people say he is done already. this is his make or break. >> after south carolina we have supertuesday. a lot going on. 1357 delegates up for grabs. >> people will be voting from maine to california on

supertuesday and the dirty secret behind supertuesday is the reason they put this together and have all the states by 3% of the population, a third of the delegates because the powers that be, salesman types in dc won over by now because you want to focus on donald trump and be able to be him but doesn't look like that will be the case for the democrats and the trick is the guy who made his play, spending all that money is michael bloomberg. what is going to happen it tonight's debate will say a lot. heather: bloomberg can stay in the race as long as he wants regardless whether he's doing well in the debates. >> if you are michael bloomberg so bad in that first debate it doesn't matter how much money you are spending, turn on our tvs, the mike bloomberg ads,

he's not ahead anywhere. it could be really tough and it's going to be tough, the powers that be want him to stay in to stop bernie sanders but the truth of the matter is how do you make a case if you are michael bloomberg and don't win anywhere? >> what does he need to make the case to? he is spending his own money. >> the democratic establishment at this point. you've got to win something at some point for people to say it and what you see from bernie sanders supporters were very vocal online and the grassroots level, if michael bloomberg doesn't win everything, they will call them to get out. shannon: will democratic establishment support bernie sanders? that's the question? >> they have been. they created bernie sanders. when he was coming out with all these radical proposals over the years, green new deal, welfare

benefits for illegals, huge tax increases they said that's bernie. he has good ideas. they created bernie sanders. heather: will be interesting to see what happens, a lot of people looking at elizabeth moran. >> even with a good debate performance last time she doesn't seem to have picked up in the polls. >> all of them gearing up to possibly run against donald trump and we are following life pictures from new delhi. let's take a look, this is where donald trump and the first lady are leaving right now. you can see life pictures, the president just wrapped up a lunch and a bilateral meeting with india's prime minister. next they will head to roosevelt house for a business roundtable. we will continue to carry all of this live as it happens in india but in the meantime we will be right back, stay with us.

administration bore elements, looking past the human rights violations is not just dangerous but deeply offensive. donald trump suggests two supreme court justices recused himself from all cases related to him, accusing sonja so mayor of trying to shame the court's conservative after she hinted they were biased. the president then slammed ruth bader ginsburg for calling him a faker in 2016. he said the justices should step down for the sake of fairness. they have not responded. happening today lawmakers are set to clash on capitol hill over whether to reauthorize controversial surveillance programs weapon iced by the justice department in 2016 amid new reports of russian meddling. how should we handle things

differently in 2020? associate fellow for the center for a new american security joins me to weigh in. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. what is your take on it? how should these allegations be handled differently? >> what lawmakers are coming to realize, they are attuned to the fact is that come into play, not as cut and dri privacy, we are looking at something given the horowitz report that said there's a huge propensity for the collection authorities to be misused like the arizona mission and the fisa process. there using today and the markup tomorrow of when these bills created by adam schiff and jerry nadler using it as a vehicle to address these broader surveillance concerns so they are looking for guardrails, more

transparency, some bills are more effective than others but we will see how it goes, they are to change things. >> this is what representative collins had to say regarding fisa changes, any legislation devoid of necessary reforms to address the abusive the intelligence community against a presidential campaign and even our sitting president including lies and fraud engaged by top-level fbi officials misses the mark within the democratic senators writing this letter demanding sanctions on russia saying we urge you to forcefully oppose sanctions on the government of the russian federation, any russian actors determined to be responsible for such interference in those acting on their behalf, providing material financial support for these election interference efforts. your take on both of those? >> again this demonstrates how complex this issue is and they

have kicked the can down the road from the summer 15, the extension to march 15th which they are going to be debating so i think they should take as much time as they need to integrate all these factors, potential election difference, russians trying to cause americans to question faith in a republican democratic system, lawmakers need to take the time to get this right. i wouldn't be surprised if they extend this by another 30 days to figure out how to get it right. but looking at what mitch mcconnell has to say after today, he is meeting with attorney general william barr answer republicans to support section 215 of fisa in 2015 so i will be looking at his reaction and assessment. shannon: we will be watching with you. we appreciate it. very busy day, it is fat tuesday. on top of everything else, get booze and food, help us to celebrate up next.
