my hand for the rest of the day. rob: there you go. hey, it was the last chance before south carolina and super tuesday. this was the big moment. jillian: thanks for joining us. thank you. "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day. ♪ ♪ >> vladimir putin thinks that donald trump should be president of the united states and that's why russia is helping you get elected. >> hey, mr. putin, if i'm president of the united states, trust me, you're not going to interfere in any more american elections. >> at least i didn't have a boss who said to me "kill it" the way that mayor bloomberg did. >> i never said that. >> 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. >> domestic abusers can't go out and get an kk 47.

ak-47. >> i didn't write that bill. >cuba on education. i think really? really? >> if we cannot pull this party together? if we go to one of those extremes. we take a terrible risk of reelecting donald trump. >> you said medicare for all will cost $30 trillion. >> over 30 years. >> can you do the math for us? >> how many hours do you have? >> it adds up to four more years of donald trump, kevin mccarthy as speaker of the house and the inability to get the senate into democratic hands. >> do something for the people of america instead of a bunch of broken promises that sound good on bumper stickers. ♪ ♪ steve: welcome to the post game show as we watch three days before the south carolina primary. there was a big debate last night. the democrats needed a good one. they, instead, got a bad one. ainsley: it was a shouting match. seven democrats on stage.
3:02 am
this was their last chance going into the south carolina primary to actually prove that they should be the front runner. and they talked over each other for two hours. steve: disaster. brian: i will tell you what the cover of the "new york post" says party bashers. pretty clear that's exactly what happened. i understand where they are coming from. a lot of them this is their last gasp. blown out in south carolina and smashed on super tuesday march 3rd. this is their last chance. i understand it. i understand too it's tough being a moderator in this situation but, having said that moderators had no control and candidates showed no self-control and the people who lost most were the viewers and voters. steve: absolutely. it was a terrible debate. a word to cbs, there is a thing called a volume control. if somebody is talking and they haven't been recognized, just turn off their microphone. let's go to the cover of the "new york post" again.
3:03 am
brian pointed out the cover says party -- oh, i tell you what, they moved the camera. never mind. we will talk about that later. ainsley: meanwhile go to charleston because griff is live in charleston, south carolina this morning. griff: good morning. it was messy, it was chaotic. it got down right personal. it was clear from the start that every candidate wanted to take their best shot at bernie. here's a little bit of how it went down. watch. >> vladimir putin thinks that donald trump should be president of the united states. and that's why russia is helping you get elected. >> oh. >> i think i would make a better president than bernie. >> if you think the last four years has been chaotic, imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders vs. donald trump? >> bernie sanders analysis is right. i don't like his solutions. >> bernie, in fact, hasn't passed much of anything. >> it matters if you can actually get things done. >> i'm hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight. [laughter]
3:04 am
i wonder why. >> sanders spoke the most and he relished being the frontrunner perceived by all the candidates. although bloomberg returned and all eyes were on him to see if he could do better than that debacle in nevada. again, senator warren going after him over women. listen. >> at least i didn't have a boss who said to me "kill it" the way that mayor bloomberg is alleged to have said to one of his -- >> come on. we released these women from a nondisclosure agreement. i don't know what else she wants us to do. the trouble is with this senator enough is never enough. griff: other take away, guys, is biden had a strong passionate night but marked with a lot of gaffes like we played in the open mentioning 150 million americans which would be essentially a third the country killed by gun violence since 2007. obviously not accurate. and actually none of the candidates actually challenged him on that. biden predicted a win here.
3:05 am
three days we will find out whether or not that comes true. brian, ainsley, steve. steve: that's right, steve. ainsley: he is not running for president, right? he is running for senate. steve: i heard that yesterday. so going in the dynamic was going to be would bernie sanders be unstoppable? and after that performance last night i don't think it changes that much. people thinking a clever michael bloomberg going to show up? the best appearance of michael bloomberg was his commercials in between. and as for joe biden, well, griff pointed out he did have some gaffes. it was his strongest debate out of the last 10 debates. so, as you look at the polls going into south carolina, i think biden still wins in south carolina but ultimately i don't think bernie can be stopped. ainsley: but you know what? last night if you watched the debate it was more about being heard? they all wanted to talk over each other. they wanted to have that big moment when they had some soundbite that everybody was going to play in the
3:06 am
morning. steve: like the last debate. ainsley: what i wanted to learn was about the issues. i want to know, bernie, how do you plan on paying for medicare for all and they questioned him about that. steve: do you have a couple hours? ainsley: they said no, two minutes. buttigieg says number keeps getting lower and lower change the number constantly. amy klobuchar said something really interesting. she said this is going to cost three times our economy. not the federal government. the entire economy. how are you going to pay for this? brian: klobuchar was the one kept knocking him down on that. and also he takes his free time to praise nicaragua's government and cuba's government. but let's look at what the trump team thought of the actual debate itself. they obviously are feeling pretty good about it. they tweeted this out. the democratic party is a hot mess. and tonight's debate is further evidence that not one of these candidates is serious or could even stand
3:07 am
to toe with the president of the united states. i don't know how bloomberg did it but he seemed to have a lot of south carolina support in that audience. the dnc said well we handed out tickets evenly. but i will tell you, bernie sanders was thrown by the fact he goes really you? guys usually cheer this. why is everyone supporting what michael bloomberg said in the other thing to keep in mind i never remember a frontrunner where people on the stage don't say i disagree with you. they tell you you can't win. from pete buttigieg to amy klobuchar to joe biden. they are looking at bernie sanders and say you know if we nominate this guy. you realize if he does win, we all lose? ainsley: they talked about the black vote and bloomberg said i have a lot of black support. many of them are here in this audience. steve: what was interesting though interesting dynamic with bernie sanders was the fact that when he was asked to your point, ainsley, about how much is this going to cost he said do you have a couple hours for me to explain it. people who are going to vote for bernie sanders don't care about the cost. they don't care because they have been told that
3:08 am
millionaires and billionaires are going to pay for it. nonetheless, it was super chaotic and you look at some of the headlines politico says dems yell, scold and interrupt intense south carolina debate. "new york post" democratic debate turns into school yard screaming match. "new york times" combative mood at messy forum in south carolina. to prove it was messy watch this little montage we have snipped together. >> bernie i was talking about. [talking at the same time] >> goal post before. >> i would like, senator sanders. >> if you get nominated we will be re-litigating this all year. >> not do what i ask. >> first of all. >> let me go. >> we would ask respectfully if you would all please try to keep to the time. >> good idea. >> you got people believing something that is false. >> billionaires. >> new topic. >> new topic. senator klobuchar. if you could honor the rules of the debate, thank you. >> senator sanders allowed a
3:09 am
quick response. [talking at the same time? >> [. >> moderator, guys. >> senator sanders. >> it's my turn? brian: total chaos. steve: free for all. brian: tough spot as a moderator you might be looking at the next president of the united states. you can't treat them like school kids looking to get in line. steve: they were breaking the rules. brian: i 100 percent agree with you. etiquette wise i know it's all about time but you are ignoring me and disrespecting the audience that you are trying to win over. one point about bernie sanders i was staggered to see even though his popularity was strong in iowa, strong in new hampshire and overwhelming in nevada, he is not growing the base. the turnout is not greater for bernie sanders. what he is doing is holding on to his base and with all these. steve: which is strong. brian: that seems to be enough. if you look at joe biden, it was good for joe biden but
3:10 am
he doesn't put together three coherent sentences. i know it's better than usual but there is a real concern here that is making no sense over the course two of hours over the last 10 times. ainsley: i like the fact he would say look i'm not going to stop talking. i still have time. all of you have talked you need to give me my time. he looked strong in a that moment. you can't blame the moderators they knew in in this was the debate that we were all going to watch because they were all going to talk over each other because they are dying to get that nomination. steve: absolutely. at the end. but ultimately the moderators are doing a tv show and we talk over each other it's live tv i get it. with a free for all you want the people at home to understand what's going on. as we saw in the montage it was completely unfocused. somebody would be talking about something. somebody else would interrupt them and then suddenly the debate became about whatever that person wanted to talk about. it was a disaster. cbs now stands for chaos on the big stage because it was
3:11 am
terrible. ainsley: it's hard. seven people on stage vying for top position. four moderators. you know when we interview a big crowd of people it's hard when you have two-minute segment or three-minute segment to get everyone in. they this two hours to get everyone who wants to be the democratic nominee to be heard. they are all yelling over each other. i don't blame the moderators. i think. steve: they lost control. brian: what's crazy is we are talking about socialism as a main focal point for the last two months. and now lately over the last two weeks we have been talking about cuba and the magic of fidel castro who brought back the firing squad. but, instead, and got rid of cars and brought back oxen. ainsley: you work so hard for your business and you say i'm taking it from you and you are going to be poor now murdered people. >> took away healthcare. doctors so good sold them off to brazil sold them to brazil to bring back more
3:12 am
money for the communist government. bernie sanders keeps doubling and tripling down listen to the big cuba debate. >> what i said is what barack obama said in terms of cuba. that cuba made progress on education. yes, i. [boo] >> really? really? what barack obama said great progress on education. >> what you were doing is -- >> healthcare. that was barack obama. >> excuse me. >> you did not condemn what they did. >> uncategorically true. >> what did you tell them. >> i have condemned authoritarianism whether it's people in the saudi arabia. >> how about cuba and nicaragua. >> cuba or nicaragua totalitarianism of any stripe is bad. that's different than saying governments occasionally do things that are good. >> oh, come on. steve: he said repeatedly
3:13 am
that's what barack obama said. so we will show you what barack obama said in march of 2016. >> president castro in cuba. i said, look, have you made great progress in educating young people. every child in cuba gets a basic education. that's a huge improvement from where it was. the life expeak assistance of cubans is equivalent to the united states despite it being a very poor country because they have access to healthcare. that's a huge achievement. they should be congratulated. but you drive around havana and this economy is not working. it looks like it did in the 1950s. brian: right. that's what he wants to emphasize. bernie did leave that part out at the end. it's also important too when you educate a population you brain wash them to believe that fidel castro will solve all problems and go. is the answer to all issues
3:14 am
and turn in your parents should they ever say anything like let's lace together a raft, honey and try to float to freedom. it's just so insane that we are talking about elements of cuba's economy and their mormoreys in order to put them into america. that's what was on that stage last night. it was in many ways embarrassing and embarrassing for democrats. when you see people like rahm emanuel and james carville they are panicked the guy in the middle in the precipice of winning believes nothing american about america. ainsley: establishment democrats. cuba comments going to hurt him in florida, definitely. so many people had to lee cuba had their businesses taken away from them. relatives murdered by castro. and they will take offense to this. that's going to hurt him in florida. i think what's going to hurt him around the other parts of the country actually help him is his promises like the kid in second grade that stands up there and he wants
3:15 am
to be by the president. free candy, more drink machines. you know that's not going to happen but second graders don't know this. all these millennials hearing free education, free medicare for all. healthcare for all and the billionaires are going to pay for it. rich people are going to pay for it. they hear that message and go to the polls and vote. if you ask them how you are going to fund. this he doesn't have an answer for this. the answer is always different. steve: speaking ainsley about rich people. the richest person on the stage is michael bloomberg who is screen left. one other soundbite for you. don't know if you caught this or not, but when he was talking about how he personally spent $100 million to elect house democrats in 2018, he seemed to say that he personally bought something. what's he talking about? listen to this. >> let's just go on the record. they talk about 40 democrats. 21 of those were people that i spent $100 million to help
3:16 am
elect. all of the new democrats that came in, put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president i got them. brian: mike bloomberg trying to buy an election did they complain then in 2018. only complaining he is competing against them. he was a democrat. first a republican. then an independent. then a democrat. he got a total pass on that. question of why in 2016 you supported all those republican candidates. and the answer for a democrat would be how are we supposed to know what party you are going to be by the end of your term if you are going to flip flop like you did. other thing no one has asked him about is this disdain for farmers and mocking what they did. he has a total pass on that. including about 90 different things that he said over the past few years. not so much the way he ran his company but the things he has done behind the scenes and is on the record of saying. and, also, he got a pass on china. what are the rules that kept
3:17 am
bloomberg in china? did he give up free speech and access in order to access the chinese market? they just glossed over that. steve: maybe he got a bunch of passes because all eye were on bernie because bernie was the frontrunner and everybody wanted to derail them because the party elders feel he can't beat donald trump. and meanwhile, you know, bernie sanders may praise fidel castro, but he is blasting the leader of israel. >> through b.b. netanyahu, you have a reactionary racist who is now running that country. steve: a reactionary racist? tony katz calls that disgusting and he is coming up next. brian: why is that okay? president trump back in america. air force one just landing at joint base andrews. that happened moments ago. it's actually happening right now. so, we will bring you that and that's live. there is a chance we will stay with this right now. ainsley: look how beautiful that plane is they are going to change the colors red, white, and blue i believe.
3:18 am
brian: i thought it should be done already. someone go to earl shibe they can spray it there. steve: do they do airplanes now. ainsley: welcome back, mr. president. we'll be right back. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. i need all the breaks, that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ hi with the world'se 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 -

3:21 am
3:22 am
steve: welcome back to "fox & friends." bernie sanders last night blasted the leader of the biggest democracy in the middle east in one of america's strongest allies calling him a racist. >> i am very proud of being jewish. i actually lived in israel for some months. but what i happen to believe is that right now sadly tragically in israel, through b.b. netanyahu, you have a reactionary racist
3:23 am
who is now running that country. steve: wow, that comes as the democratic socialist praises the work of communist fidel castro. here with reaction is radio talk show host tony katz joining us from out in indiana. tony, what do you make of that b.b. netanyahu is a reactionary racist. >> yeah. we should be clear about what it is that we saw here and bernie sanders needs to understand that when you take the endorsement of ilhan omar, when you take the endorsement of ocasio-cortez who likes to buddy up of corbin a virulent anti-semitic. czar in rashida tlaib's office who placed over israel wiping it off the map. you don't get to talk about the problems of b.b. netanyahu. benjamin netanyahu has done more for america and humanity than bernie sanders has ever done. b.b. netanyahu is a better man than bernie sanders. and anybody who doesn't understand whether they be christian or jewish or what have you is what we out of
3:24 am
their mind. this was embarrassing and pathetic from bernie sanders. he needs to take a strong look in the mirror and maybe a sit down with a an israelite who isn't just like him. steve: while you were just soundbiting right there the president and melania just got into suburban one for the trip to the south lawn of the white house just moments ago. the president are a tha presideg three-point india. here is a soundbite. bernie vs. the others on his medicare for all. watch. >> what we need to do is to do what every other major country on earth does, guarantee healthcare to all people. >> let's do some math. it adds up to four more years of donald trump. >> it will take 149 million americans off their current health insurance in four years. >> this conversation shows a huge risk for the democratic
3:25 am
party. steve: tony, it is a huge risk. when you do the math, as we have heard one of the moderators last night said your math doesn't quite add up. can you explain that? and he said do you have a couple of hours because the math does not add up to a lot of people. >> yeah. he said do you have a couple hours. and joe biden, on cue said that's the problem, which was really impressive that joe biden was so incredibly, for the most part lucid in this debate. bernie sanders' plan is not popular. it's popular amongst the bernie bros. it's not popular amongst the american populist. now that he has showed you how full of holes it is. the entire plan on his website is full of what ifs. if i can put the fax on these people and this people those people are your grandma when you break it down in terms of stock transactions and retirement fund transactions. if he can put all these taxes on, maybe he gets something done. but he can't get it done.
3:26 am
he doesn't have anything that's realistic. you take a look at donald trump who just got back from india. take a look at them in that stadium 110,000 people cheering him and prime minister modi on. do you think they are ever going to cheer bernie sanders on with these kinds of plans, attitudes and policies. all the other candidates are right that beernd's plans don't add up but their plans don't add up either. not a one of them is able to really truly differentiate themselves. the person who got closest is amy klobuchar last night who seems to be the only person who realizes she is talking to voters. everybody else is talking to each other, yelling at each other, yelling at the moderators, yelling at the guy in the rafters. amy klobuchar is actually talking to people. i might disagree with her on policy but at least she knows who her audience is. steve: there you go. talking to our audience tony katz from out in indiana thank you for joining us with your post game analysis. thank you, sir. >> thank you, steve. steve: residents feeling the blues in the golden state. >> california is for the very rich and the very poor. you can't live here in
3:27 am
california anymore as a middle class citizen. steve: tomi lahren lives in california and weighs in on residents fleeing her state. she is on deck. ♪ hate me ♪ but it ain't no lie ♪ baby bye-bye bye ♪ trucks there vehicles parked for blocks both directions. you have protesters with their homemade signs. >> the ranks of protesters swelled, turning the situation along the road block into a powder keg. >> just hundreds of people filed, in skin heads from all over. [bleep] >> race traitors. >> government. >> disgrace to the race. >> you are a disgrace to the white race. >> it was just a very tense atmosphere. a lot going on and a lot of unknowns. very difficult to cover journalistically. >> a very dramatic scene
3:28 am
that grew day by day with attention. >> randy weaver's wife teenage children and newborn baby in the cabin. federal agents now must worry how these local residents will react if there is violence on the mountain. (howling wind) (howling wind) it's not getting in my way.? i had enough! joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic

3:32 am
37-year-old corporal andrew gillette was shot in the chest. >> everyone here at the sheriff's office loved gillette, he always had a smile on his face and he loved what he did. jillian: the suspect also shot dead. gillette's fellow officers saluted their fellow comrade and air force veteran. gillette leaves behind a wife and 11-year-old son. 7 officers have been shot and killed in the line of duty this year. an american cruise passenger who tested positive for kron virus is moved to nebraska. they join their spouse and 13 other people and brought to omaha more monitoring last week. the patient was originally quarantined at california air force base and the first american soldier is infected with coronavirus. they are being self-quarantined in south korea. the outbreak causing san francisco to declare a state of emergency. there are no cases in the city but they need to be prepared as the number of worldwide cases grows to more than 80,000 with 57 in the u.s. and take a look at this.
3:33 am
an explosion sparks a massive fire at an oil refinery overnight. the flames and smoke climbing 100 feet into the air just south of los angeles. explosions from the fire causing nearby homes to shake. the fire is now under control. it's not clear what caused the explosion but no one was hurt. that's a look at your headlines. send it back to you. brian. brian: thanks, jillian, i owe you a favor. meanwhile sparks fly in south carolina as 2020 democrats make their case to be the next president. >> that cuba made progress on education. >> he literally thinks he is go over and bring a hot dish to the dictator next door and he thinks everything is going to be fine. >> that's why russia is helping you get elected. >> imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders vs. donald trump. >> one at a time. >> here's the deal. >> i'm not out of time you spoke overtime and i'm going to talk. here's the deal. [cheers] >> why am i stopping? no one else stops. brian: out of stuff to say.
3:34 am
ainsley: what does all this say about the state of the current field. here to react is fox nation host tomi lahren. what did you think. >> i will tell you what it says about the state of the democratic party it's pathetic. it's sad. i actually tweeted last night that debate stage reminded me of was a nursing home cafeteria that ran out of jell-o. everyone was very upset and angry and old and pushing a lot of strange ideas. yet again, that is the bed the democrats made for themselves and now they have to lie in it. steve: the problem for the democratic party though, tomi, is the fact that they have a democratic socialist who currently is on the verge of becoming the nominee. and so everybody else there saw that great big target on bernie sanders' back and did the best they could but, you know, i don't know that bernie sanders supporters really care about that. they still like the free stuff. >> well, of course they do. but, at the end of the day, now all these so-called moderates are going after bernie and the establishment is upset. they did this to themselves. they have been pushing
3:35 am
radical ideas. they have been having people at the helm like alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, rashida tlaib and the rest of them that have been radical for months on end and now they end up with bernie sanders as their frontrunner and now all of a sudden they are confused and think they have to do something about it. they did this to themselves. they should have been paying attention and shouldn't be pushing radical notions because this is what they are left with. brian: i was hearing about governor newsom even addressing for the first time that california is in a bit of a crisis not only homeless big problem they have people are leaving one of the most great states in our country. why are they leaving and what did you discover? >> well, brian, how long do you have? i could. steve: two hours. >> a book of reasons why people are leaving california. it's funny though that although people are fleeing the state of california the voter rolls are incredible bolstered this year. funny how that works out. one of the reasons people leaving california
3:36 am
unfordable for average americans taxes and regulations out the wazoo and the democrats never met a tax and regulation they didn't like. and, yes, gavin newsom is finally a addressing the fact we have a homeless crisis and other crises to deal with. his solution is throwing money at the problem. if throwing money at the problem worked, we wouldn't have this problem. the problem is the democrats we keep electing to lead this state. there is an idea. ainsley: prager u has docu series or documentaries and they featured you in one about california. take a look. >> california is for the very rich and the very poor. everything is more expensive. you can't live here in california anymore in the middle class system. >> many realizing it's becoming unaffordable and that's heart breaking. >> californians when they move to texas, they are shocked their standard of living goes up 40% to 50% overnight. steve: you know, it simply is not the state so many people regard as the golden west. will be in. >> no.
3:37 am
absolutely not. and if you talk to californians, which i do every single day because i still live here, they will tell you that most of the people you talk to, the reasonable, average people out there, they didn't vote for these policies and they didn't vote for these people. they are ended up how we ended up with this. they are wondering how everything that goes through sacramento seems like a horrible idea. we are wondering how we got here. well, if you want to change the state and return it to its former greatness, you're going to have to change who you voted for. that's the education process that needs to begin and maybe it has to get so bad before the pendulum swings. ainsley: how is it affecting the housing market so many people leaving and not as many people moving in. are people trying to sell houses and they can't do it. >> well, the housing market, our housing surprises are still incredibly high. for mows though can't afford housing prices there are homeless camps in tent city to pick from. hotel california is doing strong even though the housing market is so high. housing is still unaffordable but plenty of tents for people to choose from. brian: tomi lahren your series on fox nation no interruption is still
3:38 am
available. go to fox nation and sign up if you have not. and i believe if you sign up you get martha mccallum's book. that will be signed and sent. steve: if you get a yearly subscription. ainsley: that's right. thanks, tomi. >> thank you, guys. steve: meanwhile 6:38 here in new york city. the video is terrifying. a fire breaks out inside a home while a child sleeps on a couch. watch screen left. ainsley: gosh. [coughing] [smoke detector] okay. so there is a child in there. were they able to escape? yes. how? we will tell you next. ainsley: plus, what are voters saying about last night's debate? todd piro is having breakfast with friends in my hometown of south carolina. we're going to talk to them coming up. is that my dad? ♪ ♪ ♪ my patients
3:40 am

3:55 am
selling weed and distributing weed. that was a bad shot. greenwood initiative he is committed to 100,000 black businesses. black businesses being started. so i think there was a misshot. we also care about education as well. i have a 12-year-old daughter. social justice is not my only issue. i have taught in the public schools. these are things that democrats time and time again fail to talk about and always generalize us with minimum wage and criminal justice. again, although that's one of my most important issues it's important to address us as a complete body of voting block that cares about more than one thing and i think that was missed last night. ainsley: christopher, how about you? >> i have to agree. they fail to address one of the bigger things is economic mobility. you know, i really saw so much pandering going on last night. i really was waiting for somebody to talk about how much they lo the new chicken sandwich from popeye's. i figure elizabeth warren might pull out a bottle of hot sauce. all those things that were
3:56 am
so stereotypical caricatures what they think black people are all about. they don't talk about economic mobility. when parents have good jobs and then they have choice, they want to put their kids in better quality schools. and, you know, what you have is that if you were to take the black characteristics, the best qualities of every one of those candidates up there and make a composite candidate you still have someone who could get spanked by president trump. ainsley: see what happens on saturday and next tuesday. good to see you tezlyn and christopher. good to see you all. >> thank you. ainsley: still ahead senator rick scott, senator josh hawley, charles payne and larry elder. stay with us. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked...

4:02 am
bloomberg going to show up this debate unlike the one who stunk up the place last time? he was a little better. joe biden, i have to say the frontrunner in the polls going into south carolina. i think it was his best debate. i still predict he will probably squeak out a win in south carolina. ainsley: i agree with you. he said why am i going to stop? nobody else stops. i'm going to eat up all my time. i'm not going to stop. he said i have been here working like a devil in south carolina trying to get the black vote. brian: right. every sentence is a word jumble. i have to put it re-together. i have no idea what he is talking about almost all the time. and even last night he was yelling at me for two hours again. griff jenkins never yells at me. that's why i'm going to toss to him now. is he live in charleston, south carolina this morning with the biggest moments that he thinks were important. hopefully we will agree. griff: yeah, we will. brian, ainsley and steve. good morning. you know, you talk about clarity. listen, there was messy, yelling, combative, cross talk. but what was clear is that
4:03 am
all those candidates felt an urgency, if not desperation to take down and slow bernie sanders. they all piled on and took their best shot. watch this. >> vladimir putin thinks that donald trump should be president of the united states. and that's why russia is helping you get elected. >> oh. >> i think i would make a better president than bernie. >> if you think the last four years has been chaotic, imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders vs. donald trump. >> bernie sanders' analysis is right. i don't like his solutions. >> bernie, in fact, hasn't passed much of anything. >> it matters if you can actually get things done. >> i am hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight. [laughter] >> i wonder why. griff: sanders had the most speaking time answered defended his positions as well as his castro comments but joe biden showed up and you are right, steve. he was at his most passionate. he had some gaffes. but he really laid down, despite his narrowing lead in the polls, he laid down
4:04 am
the marker that he is going to win here. watch this. >> the people know me. my entire career has been wrapped up in dealing with civil rights and civil liberties. i intend to win south carolina and i will win the african-american vote here in south carolina. >> if you don't win south carolina, will you continue -- >> i will win south carolina. griff: bloomberg tried to build on his disastrous performance back in nevada. elizabeth warren, though, going after him again on women. warren clearly trying a line of attack to separate herself from the pack. she is pulling fifth here in the latest nbc poll. i think she is looking ahead to super tuesday in massachusetts where she hopes to do well. she picked up the "boston globe" endorsement this morning. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: i guess, griff, we might find out too 9:30 today if congressman clyburn will endorse joe biden which has been rumored and that could help this state, we
4:05 am
will see. thanks, griff. get off the street. ainsley: that will definitely make a big difference. he is loved there. he is one of the top leaders in washington representing south carolina. the black voters, if he says vote for this person, it will definitely be something that they will think about at the polls. steve: joe biden who was emphatic, you know, i'm going to win. i'm not going to drop out because i'm going to win south carolina, he really needs that meanwhile, you know, this morning we are talking about the winners and the losers. don't know your perception of who won, but you know who really lost? cbs. the moderators, if you watched that debate, it was unfocused and a free-for-all. it was a mess. watch this. >> bernie i was talking about.

[bell] brian: my name was mentioned. okay. ainsley: let's talk about everything that doesn't matter. steve: good morning to you, senator. ainsley: what did you think last night's debate? to me, i wanted them to focus more on the issues. >> i thought it was a hot mess. so embarrassing for the democratic party. no one on that stage was presidential. frankly the winner of the
4:07 am
debate last night was simply donald trump. listen to amy klobuchar's praising of the first step act and then watch how they denigrated each other. steyer owned personal prisons, private prisons. they talked about biden passing the 1990s crime bill. they talked about bloomberg. they bombed bloomberg on the stop and frisk policies. they praised the first step act passed by president trump. they talked about african-american home ownership up under president trump. it was a really good night for republicans. and it was an embarrassing performance that was patronizing to african-americans. pandering to african-americans. and pathetic performance from my perspective. brian: senator, yeah, your perspective is invaluable. being from south carolina, african-american, in congress. what does the african-american community want to hear? do they want to hear about reparations? do they want to hear. >> no. brian: that it's harder to get a loan? do they want to hear through history it's been harder to get a job? you tell me. >> well, the bottom line is the reason why the rear view
4:08 am
mirror is so small and the windshield is so big on the car we want to focus on the future. i did a panel this month for black history month and on the left and the right of the panel they all said we need to focus on the future, economic future of this nation. it is one of the bright spots of the trump economy is we are seeing the lowest unemployment rate within the african-american community but more important than that, brian, you are seeing people coming back to work. the long-term unemployed is now participating in the great comeback story. that's one of the reasons why the black participation rate workforce participation rate is up in the community. the issues that we care about as african-americans are the same issues that every other american cares about. and that's one of the reasons why the current approach of president trump is everybody is in the same boat. what you saw on the stage yesterday was as if there were no white folks watching seven white candidates talk about black people. [laughter] >> it was the most remarkable performance -- i
4:09 am
can't imagine that on our stage i would be embarrassed to have a conversation specifically about one race. ainsley: senator, we were talking earlier, we heard different numbers. what percentage of the democratic party in the state of south carolina are african-americans and do you think going into 2020 some of that percentage will vote for president trump? he got 8% in 2016. what percentage do you predict nationally in 2020? >> about 30% of the overall voters in south carolina are african-americans, probably 60% of the democrat primary on saturday will be african-americans. trump had 8% in 2016. i'm predicting he will have at least 12%. a 50% increase coming president donald trump's way. because his policies are percolating at the right time. it is really hard to deny the success of this administration. steve: during the administration of michael bloomberg, one of the policies was stop and frisk with the police. he was for that before he has started apologizing for
4:10 am
it and saying that was a mistake. nonetheless, mayor pete hit bloomberg on that last night. listen. >> we let it get out of control and when i realize that, i cut it back by 95%. and i have apologized and asked for forgiveness. >> it was about profiling people based on their race. and i come to this with some humility i'm conscious of the fact that there are seven white people on this stage talking about racial justice. [laughter] none of us. [applause] >> wait a second i know that if i were black my success would have been a lot harder to achieve. i know a lot of black people that if they were white it would have been a lot easier for them. that's just a fact and we have got to do something about it rather than just demagogue about it. steve: so, senator, at the very beginning, he was talking about stop and frisk. how important is this particular issue as the people of south carolina go to the polls on saturday? >> the fact that he is apologizing and apologizing and then repenting and
4:11 am
asking for forgiveness tells you that it's incredibly important to the people of south carolina. what people want, african-americans, white folks, hispanics, what we all want is a fair system, a fair chance to succeed. what you saw last night was really pandering and patronizing and trying to make up for the gaffes and the policies of the bloomberg administration so that he is more marketable as a presidential campaign but we have to compare that and contrast it to what president trump has actually done. one of the things that you have to focus on is a comparison of the two sides. right now the left looks like they have no other other than to pander from reparations to the uvi, the universal basic income of $1,000 to every american. you can't continue to give away what you do not have. and if it's going to cost three times the american economy, according to amy klobuchar, we're all in for
4:12 am
significantly higher taxes. brian: i know where you stand on stop and frisk -- by the way, african-american officers, two of which told me brian when it comes to stop and frisk, understand what we did. we thought the people in the minority communities needed the most protection. of the goal wasn't to arrest minorities. it was to go where the crime was to protect people in that area. and they were not just walking up to people frisking them. they were walking up if they were suspected of having a firearm. so just for the record, for the law enforcement agents, most of which are minorities in new york city, that was the goal even though mike bloomberg doesn't want to say that anymore. but, real quick. congressman clyburn will be endorsing, we believe, joe biden in about two hours. what does that mean for joe biden? >> well, probably means that increase in african-american votes for joe biden. the truth of the matter is three weeks ago, brian, three weeks ago joe biden had a 30-point lead in south carolina. it is now down to 4 to 4.5
4:13 am
points. that says that bernie sanders has doubled his black vote in south carolina and that means that biden now needs someone to come rescue him and jim clyburn's endorsement will be part of that rescue strategy. but it won't make enough of a difference. if biden does not win by 10 points or more on saturday, super tuesday might be the collapse of biden campaign. steve: senator, your prediction on south carolina on sunday morning what's going to happen? >> i think you will see about 26% for joe biden. you will see bernie sanders coming in around 20 or 23%. and tom steyer, who will be losing votes, if, in fact, clyburn endorses joe biden, you will see him fall down from his numbers from 15% to probably 13% or 12%. those numbers will come from steyer, not from bernie sanders. brian: senator, i have a sense in a few years you will be one of those people on the debate stage going
4:14 am
for 2024. i would not doubt it. wwe are going to save this tape. >> get president trump reelected. ainsley: proud of our state. live shots of charleston and live shots astley zerdz thicket in south carolina. >> on fire for the red party not the blue. ainsley: we have ainsley in new york. ainsley: oh yeah. >> come home, ainsley, come home. steve: tim scott joining us from the russell rotunda. ainsley: thank you, senator. steve: meanwhile, 7:14 in new york city and jillian joins us with coronavirus news. jillian: that's right. good morning to you. here is the latest an american cruise passenger who tested positive for coronavirus is moved to nebraska. they join their spouse and 13 other people brought to omaha for monitoring last week. the patient was originally quarantined at california air force base. the first american soldier is infected with kron virus. they will be

4:22 am
study that. steve: he did that last week, too. >> 450 billion. i looked into that yale study to see exactly what he is talking about because he didn't elaborate. they kind of took existing medicare numbers and applied it to everyone. so, they would take about $100 billion in salaries from hospitals, doctors, nurses, another 260 billion from administrative costs and then they would think they can lower drug prices by up to 180 billion. so, you know, that in and of itself. just think about that. the first thing when we think about healthcare we should be thinking about is the quality of care. the quality of outcomes. steve: sure. brian: nobody was talking about quality. >> no one was talking about quality of anything certainly not of math. ainsley: wait a minute. they are going to take a away lot of money from doctors? don't we want the best of the best operating on us? >> if you apply existing medicare fees to every doctor, most doctors will take a serious financial hair cut. brian: do something else for a living. >> exactly. the bottom line though is i
4:23 am
think, listen, the bernie fans do not care about the cost, as long as he can say wall street was bailed out, these big businesses get tax breaks, you know, i'm surprised he has even bothered to go down this lane to be quite frank with you. steve: because when you look at what bernie stands for and what he talks about out on the stump he talks about medicare for all, free tuition, now he is talking about child care up to the age of 3. but also legal weed. he wants to, by executive order, make weed legal everywhere and a big part of his core audience loves tha that. >> young voters do like it. you know, there is this feeling that weed -- the war on weed was misguided. you know, you talk to almost anyone under 30 they certainly believe it was overcriminallized i do, too. i know kids who went to jail for, you know, a small amount of marijuana that, you know, you talking about criminal justice. you know, people who commit murders come out in six years and it's just a dumb system. we should put away the hard core criminals forever and

joe con challenge. joe, last night i get to two objectives one hurt bloomberg if you are the opponent and number one damage bernie because is he about to run away with this. were either things accomplished. >> bernie got out with maybe a skinned knee, flesh wound overall he wasn't hit too hard. elizabeth warren has a big problem with michael bloomberg she doesn't seem to with bernie sanders. only way she gets in the white house is a vp nod. cbs give them credit. they some hous somehow in polarg country unified the left and right. that was like watching "the view" whoopi at least has control of that romp room. she knows when to put people in a time-out. they ran roughshod over the time allotted. why have five moderators when two or three will suffice. in the end tom perez said cbs news shouldn't get a debate. i'm not saying that because i'm on fox news channel right now. the debate team here did a better job than anybody

why? >> when i was growing up all the cartoons were loony tunes. all the chaos running all over the place and pointing fingers total chaos and that's what it looked like last night. todd: you said bernie is going to win on saturday. >> he will get the aged african-american vote they will still vote with his relationship because of his relationship with obama. todd: scott, you say not many minds were changed last night, why? >> i think they played it pretty safe. everybody piled on bloomberg in the beginning. i just don't think many minds were changed with the content of last night. todd: you say biden narrowly on saturday? >> narrowly safe bet for pretty unsure population in the state as far as who their democratic candidate is going to be. todd: scott, thank you. let's go over to makayla most complicated spelling ever but still makayla. you called complicated mess why. >> too many people believe in his message of people getting free stuff and i think people don't understand the consequences that will reap on our

[laughter] steve: what was that? >> i think he was just trying to show that he has more of a personality than he showed the week before. steve: maybe it shows that even with $65 billion you can't buy a sense of humor, john. >> yeah. also, you know, i prep candidates for debates for a
4:52 am
living. it's one of the things i do. we always tell the candidates run the jokes by us first. don't be spontaneous. the bar was so low for mike bloomberg last night he imagined tmanaged not to even oe that. >> i disagree. he certainly performed a lot better than did he in nevada although i wouldn't say he was one of the winner winners in last night. steve: did he terrible in nevada. >> i'm only responding to that he went over the. steve: it was a low bar. going in ultimately it was about bernie sanders. it looks like he is on the verge of winning the nomination if super tuesday goes his way. everybody was taking shots at him. but, joe biden has been positive in the past. i think he had his best bedate of the last 10. >> no question. it was joe's night right from the beginning. i think the best part of his night was the beginning where he talked about the emanuel church. he compared it sanders not
4:53 am
voting for the brady bill five times. it really preempted bloomberg talking about every town. it got ovation. showed he is caring about the people. i think from then on it was the beginning of his best debate by far. steve: of course, john, he would be peaking just when he needs to. >> that's right. steve: i was just reading in the state newspaper down in south carolina that he has gone up a little bit. he has lost 20 points in the last couple of weeks. largely on what has happened in iowa and new hampshire and then that not so good debate last time. >> nationally if you look at subgroup of experience bernie sanders eclipse joe biden with his share of african-americans but biden did last night exactly what he needed to do which was remind southern african-americans about why they have a fondness for him. he did a good job at that. honestly he still showed me at points that he con flights passion with yelling. there is still these oddball things. maybe joe can win south carolina. i think he did what he
4:54 am
needed to do. i still don't think he is going to be the nominee. >> just to add. it's not that joe has gone down the last few weeks. it's that no one has coalesced around anyone in the moderate lane where bernie has dominated the populist lane with warren coming off. it is still is a three or four way race in the moderate lane. i think joe will win in south carolina. he will get the clyburn endorsement. steve: today. >> then we go into super tuesday. it still feels like bernie will get a plurality. i just don't think he will hit that majority. >> biden has not aired one television ad in any super tuesday state yet? steve: is that right? there aren't any left. biden can't buy one because steyer and bloomberg have bought them all. >> joe biden and mike bloomberg spent 500 million and does not yet have a delegate because he hasn't competed. so i think, you know, donald trump, the president showed, spending the most money doesn't mean you win. >> you need to spend something. steve: what about the fact
4:55 am
that bernie sanders has been talking a lot about what barack obama said regarding castro, you know. he increased healthcare and doing a better job with education and things like that. but, the part that bernie leaves out is the fact that president obama, john, said at the end, but ultimately, at the end, it still looks, you drive around havana it still looks like it's the 1950s. >> bernie is trying to use the barack obama shield to protect himself from the attack. look, i don't think that kind of thing would work in a general election. in a primary election, i think he did what he needed to do last night. he blunted the attacks. and maybe it slows down his momentum in south carolina. but i still think he is going to rip into super tuesday. >> i just have to reply not to be clichish. i know barack obama. i was actually in barack obama in cuba. steve: that's why we brought it up. >> in march of 2016. he was not supportive of castro in that speech. he hammered him on human rights and the economy. this was really about helping the people progress and about doing a trade deal with them.
4:56 am
steve: are you saying that bernie sanders is mischaracterizing what barack obama said? >> i'm saying that bernie did a good job what all politicians do. he deflected and pivoted to where it was a strength. steve: speaking of all of politicians that is why hillary clinton said yesterday whoever the nominee is on the democratic party she is going to support them. not surprising. >> not surprising. she is going to support whoever it is. >> each a socialist. >> we call it a democratic socialist. >> okay. steve: democrat talking about a socialist. >> trust me, this isn't easy. steve: no kidding. john thomas, robert wolf, thank you. great conversation. >> thanks. steve: michael bloomberg admitting on the debate stage he bought democrats' majority in the house? kind of sounded like that. we're going to talk aboutt that coming up next. out about . i knew for years epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate.

5:02 am
they almost need moderators with new candidates. >> two things, the moderators were prepared and classy but not prepared for that type of brawl. the audience seemed all bloomberg. nothing he said they weren't cheering for. when elizabeth warren went after him they were booing bernie sanders. i don't know if they put their hand on the scale but it gave bloomberg a win at his back. >> moderators had a tough job because a beauty on stage. it was their last chance to make it on the big ticket. the only complaint i would say about the moderators is i wish they had focused on the issues. they talked about the apology tour, this thing or that thing that didn't matter when it comes to substance. >> it was a free-for-all. look at that. showdown in south carolina.
5:03 am
every one of them has a hands-on because they want to talk, interrupt, going out of order. it was a free-for-all. moderators lost control. when you look at the winners and losers everybody said cbs was a big loser because it was just disaster. >> put your hand up a little higher. >> in new york city it is 8:03 in charleston, south carolina. in king street in the heart of that beautiful city with highlights and low lights from last night. >> reporter: in fairness to the moderators i'm not sure anyone who could have controlled that, as of john belushi walked in and yelled food fight and everything went haywire. every candidate knows they've got to do something to slow sanders's momentum and they took the best shot. watch. >> vladimir putin thinks donald trump should be president of the united states and that is
5:04 am
why russia is helping you get elected. >> i think i would make a better president than bernie. >> if you think the last four years have been chaotic imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders versus donald trump. >> bernie sanders's analysis is right. i don't like his solutions. bernie hasn't passed much of anything. >> it matters if you can actually get things done. >> i wonder why. >> reporter: sanders relished the attacks but biden was most animated with the most passion. 's lead is narrow but he is out front and says he is going to win but gaffes like this may dog him. >> 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when bernie
5:05 am
voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. more than all the wars including vietnam from that point on. >> reporter: none of the candidates challenged him on that. bloomberg, to improve on the nevada debate came under heavy attack from elizabeth warren on stop and frisk, over women and mdas. worn is trying to position herself for the supertuesday contest and got the boston globe endorsement earlier this morning. the other part of that debate, south carolina republican party posting on twitter video of a dozen or more supporters holding trump signs shouting for donald trump. >> along king street. one thing was clear throughout the debate, there were attacks. they wanted to take out bloomberg, takeout bernie. we have stats on attacks, the ones given and once taken.
5:06 am
>> bernie sanders delivered the most attacks and was challenged more than 30 times. if you look at these numbers look how many times he got attacked, 33 times, bloomberg got attacked 17 times. everyone else was getting attacked five or two times. >> why would biden and warren not get attacked? they are not the front runner. look at the attacks buttigieg and klobuchar, tom steyer 11 as well. >> i'm not surprised sanders got attacked 33 times but i'm surprised bloomberg was right behind him, he was attacked 17 times. after last debate i didn't think he would be a big contender. >> is numbers are strong on the national debate and on supertuesday. >> he paid for commercials in the middle of the debate. >> those were his best appearances. the debate was hard to follow
5:07 am
in the free for all. when you got to the commercials and there is michael bloomberg with 30 interrupted seconds, that is not the guy who was on stage. >> two things he made a mistake, they didn't go over well. he slipped, $100 million into the 2018 election, i bought, he stopped himself, but the last election and nobody on that stage, to avoid being democrat said i have a problem with that. your money is a problem when you try to run against me but not when you try to put democrats in the white house. >> it is the foreign, invested money and republicans including somebody who ran against her. >> they talked about the black vote. bernie sanders -- not bernie sanders, joe biden went to
5:08 am
south carolina to try the black vote. he is connected to obama. we talked to tim scott, senator from south carolina, a republican, we asked him, 30% of that state's african american. 60% of the democratic voters go to the polls on saturday are democrat. >> tim scott said what he saw last night on the debate stage with democrats was pandering to the black vote. >> we let it get out of control and when i realized that, backed by 95%, i apologize it asked forgiveness. >> it was about profiling people based on their race. i'm conscious of the fact that we 7 white people on stage talking about racial justice. none of us - >> i know if i were black my success would have been a lot
5:09 am
harder to achieve. i know a lot of black people that they were white it would be heavy easier for them. that is a fact and we have to do something about it rather than demagogue about it. >> it was so embarrassing for the democrat party. no one on the stage was presidential and the winner of the debate was donald trump. it was a good night for republicans, and an embarrassing performance that was patronizing to african-americans, pandering to african-americans a pathetic performance. the issues we care about as african americans are the same issues every other american cares about. that is one of the reasons the current approach of donald trump, everybody in the same boat. there were no white folks watching 7 white candidates talk about black people. i would be embarrassed to cut talk about one race.
5:10 am
>> tim scott said something for those people who are donald trump supported like he is who think bernie sanders will be easy for him were not paying attention. the only person who believes bernie sanders would match up well against donald trump and a lot of states. the other thing that was important and unique, i can't believe how many on that stage were telling us at home bernie can't win. not only do they want to be elected but he would be a disaster. i don't remember a front runner being told like that. >> we said that, reading what we heard from top democrats in the establishment. not the democratic socialist party and their standardbearer going into an election during a booming economy regardless of what is going on, a rough
5:11 am
couple days. if the past is prologue, the incumbent, easier for me to say, generally always wins. >> they ask how long i am staying, i wish we were more like cuba. >> all the great things cuba did, bernie sanders didn't run from his support from cuban education. >> this is what barack obama said in terms of cuba. that cuba made progress on education. really? really? what barack obama said, great progress on education and healthcare. >> did not condemn --
5:12 am
>> untrue categorically. i have condemned the authoritarianism whether it is people in saudi arabia, cuba, nicaragua, authoritarianism of any stripe is bad. that is different than saying the government occasionally does things that are good. >> he believes authoritarians are so bad why is he claiming to be a socialist. many people thought he would send our country in the same direction as venezuela and cuba. >> bernie sanders was not accurately seeing what barack obama said, the castro made strides in education and healthcare but when you drive around the streets of havana it reminds him of the 1950s, barack obama said. >> people driving around in studebaker's, and over the w.

5:23 am
the nomination, some moderate candidates on the debate stage warned bernie sanders's nomination could cost the democratic party not just the presidency but the majority, the house and a shot at winning the senate. josh holly, welcome back. you heard when pete buttigieg said that, is he saying elect me, not bernie or does he have legitimate fears there? >> he is probably right about that. bernie would be a disaster for the democratic party and this shows how far left the activist core of the party has gone, a socialist who wants to remake this country in the image of cuba and china, can you believe what he is saying about cuba and china, being a model for lifting people out of poverty, really? the most authoritarian government on the face of the planet a model? i don't think so. pete: tell it to the people of china who are trying to survive
5:24 am
and living without any freedom. marco rubio called a marxist. do you agree with that? >> if you please cuba -- praise cube and china i don't know there's another option. he thinks the united states needs to look more like these authoritarian regimes, that isn't america and when people listen to this you see other democrats know that bernie would be a disaster at the top of the ticket and i can tell you from conversations i have had with democrats on capitol hill they are terrified of the idea of bernie being there standardbearer but i think it is going to happen and donald trump will begin november. ainsley: let's talk about the coronavirus. the president earmarked $2.5 billion to go toward the vaccine. are you close to a vaccine? >> there are potential vaccines under development.
5:25 am
there are two that are underway in the testing process which is great and the cdc put it all hands on deck effort together. i'm introducing legislation today that will help bring medical supply chains out of china to the united states. when it comes to vaccine and antibiotics, too many are in china. they let those drugs go to china. we need to bring them home. pete: it is not just the drugs but every american industry is having supply chain problems because rely on the cheap labor in china. what other things could they tell you yesterday that people need to know? it is not if but when it is going to get here. that freaks a lot of people out.
5:26 am
>> we are seeing the virus spread in other places, japan, south korea have significant numbers of cases, italy as well so it is getting harder to screen passengers to come into the united states which i call for travel restrictions a month ago. travel restrictions from china. it is going to get more difficult as cases come from all different countries. we have to step up our efforts. no need to panic but there is need to take every precaution and every available step. the administration will do that. i upon the president's request for additional funding. we may need more than $2.5 billion. and we need all hands on deck effort. let's not get into a situation where we are dependent on the chinese for drugs or antibiotics. we need to make steps to make sure it doesn't happen. pete: we need to pay more for that to happen. the fast food drugs, retailers

shutdown at dominoes, pizza, domino's pizza and lulu lemon have shutdown in china and here, places like john deere, they are dropping 10 percent-15%. that is why markets are dropping. we are feeling the hit. >> absolutely. this affected china with so much of their manufacturing and a lot of their economy shutdown that is driving the market fears and this goes back to the fact the communist party did not take steps to protect their own people. they lied about that and try to keep it under wraps and ms. lettuce and won't allow doctors into china to figure out the extent of the pandemic so this is on then. we have to take steps to protect their own people. pete: that is one of the reasons the president will be addressing the nation. thank you for joining us.

steve: michael almost lips while touting the millions he spent when helping the democrats take the house. >> we talk about 40 democrats, 21 of those were people i spent $100 million to help elect. all of the new democrat who came in, put nancy pelosi in charge and gave congress the ability to control this president, i got them. steve: i bought them? here is the chairman of the conservative political action committee about to launches the campaign this weekend. matt schlapp. he just slipped. he did a lot of damage to republicans in 2018. >> he did. got to love michael bloomberg.
5:33 am
he thinks buying the majority in the house of representatives from nancy pelosi is like an exotic sports car. he got the checkbook, i just bought it. it was a moment of honesty. the hypocrisy of people like michael bloomberg, public financing of campaigns and strict limits on money, doesn't apply to michael bloomberg who is spending millions of dollars on politics in this country. brian: the candidates, five others, tom start doing the same thing, condemning him for using his money to get on that stage, dead silent in 2018 and didn't challenge them on the millions he spent in 2018. >> hypocrisy is up on that stage. the american people as they watched that debate see a competition to be the head for the dean of the arts and letters program of your nearby radicalized college. you don't see a president. they are not talking about issues that matter to americans
5:34 am
who are in the middle or less political. they are trying to out extreme each other and do it with their checkbook. it is not very appealing to most voters. brian: the dnc targeting places like georgia, arizona and especially texas in 2020. some were concerned about the success of beto o'rourke against ted cruz. what is your answer? >> we don't get to hear about beto anymore. he is off the screen. my feeling is democrats are very cocky in 2020 if they think the election of 2020 is going to be about picking off red state. let me make a bold prediction. it will be just the opposite. the republicans are going to make gains in the house of representatives because of the rejection of adam schiff and impeachment. i think democrat states they picked up last time like new
5:35 am
hampshire and maine will be on the target for republicans. minnesota is a state that could flip to the republicans. we have other states after them in play. 2020 is going to be about realigning state along the trump agenda. the american people are optimistic and we have a resilient economy because of trump deregulatory policies that continue to hang and even though we have the scare of this virus and what is going on in the stock market. the american people feel better today than they did any day of the obama administrative. steve: you know where the conservative movement is. as the guy who runs cpac, a force among the conservative movement, it kicks off today. how does it get that way? >> reporter: the event in washington dc will be 50% high school and college students. it's hard and seoul is the fact we have not lost the next
5:36 am
generation like the media tell you but what we see is college kids feel alone, every institution, even state colleges need a place to go. god told us in the 10 commandments we should come together and assemble it church, god knows there is a time when people have to come together. it is true in politics. we don't believe in safe spaces but we need to know there are others in this fight and there are a lot of young people who feel alone and feel they are ashamed and feel like they are not allowed to express their conservative views or pro-trump views. it is the most exciting thing to be at. he will be there kicking it off with senator lee, you will see the most optimistic americans and it is a reflection of where most of the country feels. steve: is there more buzz about me being there with the president? >> we didn't want to release

if you could honor the rules of the debate. >> the moderator. senator sanders? >> is it my turn? >> it is everybody's turn. steve: what a mess. nobody was in charge. let's bring in larry elder. you are a professional broadcaster. the job of a moderator is to keep control of the festivities. what happened last night? >> reporter: it was a train wreck. as somebody who wants to get 45 to get a fresh forward i cannot be more delighted at the chaos i saw last night. i'm hearing joe biden had a great night. joe biden showed up, he wasn't sleepy. in 2007 bernie sanders signed a bill to allow gun manufacturers, and 150 million people.
5:44 am
many have been killed since 2007. joe biden didn't say my name is joe biden. my name is joe biden, i'm a candidate for senate. vote for the other biden. i don't know if he was referring to jill or hundred didn't say i got arrested visiting south africa trying to see nelson mandela and he congratulated me for trying to visit him when mandela got out of prison. washington post gave biden four pinocchios. he didn't say my late son was attorney general of the united states, he didn't make a bunch of mistakes or knock over the punch bowl. but the bar is very low. has far as bernie sanders goes his fans couldn't care less the numbers don't add up. they believe there is a free lunch and you guys are stopping us from eating it. it was a train wreck and i couldn't be more delighted. doesn't matter who emerges whether it is bloomberg or
5:45 am
sanders, donald trump is going to win. we are talking 90% of americans saying they are happy, all-time highs, for satisfaction, consumer confidence. how do you beat this guy? pe brian: the last polls were 48%, 49%, the coronavirus is something you can't expect that the reaction will define him. the media disagrees with you. >> i thought biden had his best night. >> he made people remember why he was strong. >> is best debate, not just forceful but substantive. >> he was strong and emphatic. >> it was a homecoming, he did everything he had to do. >> biden had a good night have a good night.
5:46 am
>> probably on his way to victory in south carolina. >> he looked presidential. >> the reason for all of this is they know bloomberg if he gets the nomination a bunch of democrats will stay home because this is the anti-billionaire party with your self-made or not. bernie sanders can't win. biden is there only hope. he is the same moderate they are betting on. if the party were rational, one of the party elders, barack obama, moderate to the room would say two of you have to leave, only one, the one has to stop bernie sanders. obama will not do that and if they don't they would won't listen to him. the parties headed for thelma and louise. bernie sanders is thelma. it will be his louise? ainsley: listen to larry elder. >> i wish i had said that. brian: you will be on hannity

5:48 am
words like racist and oligarch, statements the bloomberg campaigns is, quote, we don't know who is responsible but we do know bernie sanders and his campaign have repeatedly invoked this language when discussing mike bloomberg. they have reportedly been vandalized. remember when a comedian said this about congressman dan crenshaw on saturday night live? >> you may be surprised to hear he is a congressional candidate from texas and not a hitman in a porno movie. i know he lost his eye in war or whatever. jillian: he apologized in 2018 but he is walking that back in his new netflix special. >> i made fun of a guy with an eye patch and got forced to apologize because people were threatening to shoot me in the face. my roommate thought i should
