finally the ugly. people are avoiding krohn beers over coronavirus. new poll finds 48% of american beer drinkers avoiding the peer even though it has nothing to do with the illness. that's how informed some people are. carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. going to be a big weekend. starts right now. ♪ let's go ♪ ♪ let's go ♪ brian: what you you will be dancing to at the clubs tonight. >> you must go to the same club i go to. brian: wait a long time to get in. steve: any time i go to is the club. busy three hours kicks off right now. then we get to start the weekend. brian: let's find out about the big story leading every newscast around the world right to a fox news alert. 33 people test positive with the coronavirus in california while thousands of others in the state are being monitored.

steve: meanwhile vice president mike pence assuring the american people the president's decisive action will keep americans safe. ainsley: aishah hasnie joins us more from the newsroom with the latest casey cases from california. a little scary. >> it is. 8400 people right now in california are being watched for symptoms of this virus. this as president trump may use special war powers to fast track the production of face masks. the u.s. actually needs 300 million specialized masks but only has around 12 million. reuters is reporting this morning that the president plans to invoke the defense production act to call on american factories to quickly produce these masks. meantime the cdc is expected to send more test kits to california which only has about 200 of them left. this is crucial. as the northern california woman who mysteriously got the virus without ever going to china wasn't tested for it for four days despite requests from hospital

staff. california is also at the center of a whistleblower complaint which claims health and human services sent employees to evaluate those hundreds of americans rescued from china without the proper protective gear. the department says it is looking into it. and last night, vice president mike pence, who is heading the country's response assured sean hannity that the threat is low at home thanks to the president. >> the reality is that because of the actions of president trump took last month, literally ending travel, closing borders people coming in from china, establishing a quarantine process. setting up a task force. if the president hadn't taken those unprecedented steps. >> they didn't seem to like it then. >> we would be in a very different place today, sean. >> this morning, new fears you could pass the virus to your pets. in hong kong a pet dog just tested positive for that virus after his owner got sick. making it the first possible

transmission to a pet. steve, brian, ainsley? ainsley: what? steve: aishah, thank you very much: bring in stuart varney host of varney and company. it's been a wild week on wall street. regarding what aishah was talking about the reuters story that apparently during interagency call on wednesday between the department of homeland security and health and human services they were talking about maybe the president could invoke the defense production act from 1950 to order companies that do face masks and protective company to go ahead and stop making other stuff and start making those because we need 300 million. >> the president has the power to do that. he hasn't pulled the trigger yet but he has the power to do it. frankly, steve, i think that would be a very good thing to do. >> why. >> people are sitting back what can i do here? people in america? what can i do? i have got nothing. i can't buy a face mask in the store. they are sold out just about abt

across the country. everywhere. that would be a positive move. 300 million face masks in production on the streets very, very quickly. the administration will be seen to be doing something, taking control. i think it would be a good thing. ainsley: interesting you say that one of my best friends wrote me ned the carbon filter mask is 97% effective. dr. oz says regular masks are not effective at all the air can still get through it? >> i think people want to be seen that the administration is doing something and that would be something very concrete. brian: let's talk about how the markets are being affected. so, look, if you get this virus, more than likely it is not fatal, right? i mean, if you are compromised very young or old or compromised health-wise, you are obviously susceptible like you would be with the flu. it's the way the global market is reacting for real items. for example, car parts. for example, toys. for example, i-phone parts, things coming out of china. is it good news that we hear

that china seems the number of new confirmed case cases is declining nationwide and they believe the worse is over. >> this is about a story of new cases here or number of new cases there this is story of a rolling crash. i will use that word on the stock market. we have had the worst week in many, many years. we have had the sharpest sell-off since a high two weeks ago we were at a high, now we are 10, 12% below that it's a rolling crash. and i am going to use another word. that was the result of panic selling late yesterday afternoon. those are very strong words to use. rolling crash, panic. brian: why yesterday afternoon? >> because we had news of the expanding virus. okay. it is spreading around the world. the california story. this morning you have got more of the same. they have quarantined a whole town in germany. very bad sign. japan has closed all of its schools until april. that's a draconian move. brian: sporting events, too. >> sporting events shut

down. what have you got here is a feeling that you don't want to associate with other people, you don't want to be in crowds. you don't want to be on a plane. you don't want to travel. you might get stuck. and when you have that clamp down on human activity, human interaction, you are slowing the economy all around the world. steve: right. >> the fear is that it comes here. we haven't reached that point yet, but that's the fear. that's why have got this panic selling. steve: that's why one of the reasons a number of weeks ago the president restricted certain travel and things like that. >> yes. steve: he was widely criticized at the time but now it looks like it was a pretty good idea. here is the speaker of the house who actually has been taking shots at the president talking about how it all fits in to, among other things, the market. >> want to prevent, without a panicking people about this, but the market will do what it does with the invisible hand that it always does. but, again, it can't effect what we do if what we're there to do is to prevent

and not panic people on the subject. the president said something so strange that you really have to wonder. he said the reason the market dropped is because of the debate the other night. well, the market had dropped 1800 points before the debate. so, you know, let's not be silly about what that is. >> i think this is flat-out wrong. do not politicize a national health crisis. ainsley: i agree. >> the democrats are making the panic worse. steve: the president said the other night we need to all be working together. >> yes. and he is taking concrete action to stem the flow here. look at aoc. alexandria ocasio-cortez. she says that she is mocking vice president pence saying is he a science denier. elizabeth warren talked about the bungled response to the virus outbreak being a mess. that's not the way you encourage.

brian: it's not true either. >> it's simply not true. ainsley: get in front of the microphone without criticizing the president in some capacity. >> exactly. they want to wrap the virus around the president's neck and use it in the election and that is absolutely wrong. steve: never let a good crisis go to waste. >> rahm emanuel. brian: let's saying what is wrong. presidential candidates. come out and use rhetoric and say how much better you will be than the current president. i get that. would are used to that saying that the cdc had been cut and that's why we are flat fooded. the ap came out with a story. >> it's not true. what bloomberg said about the cdc's budgets being cut is not true that kind of thing should not be out there. ap direct it. democrats distort coronavirus impact. steve: quote was democratic presidential contenders let's go ahead and move the prompter up. presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious disease democracy arudderless and i

will-prepared for coronavirus threat because of the budget cuts by president trump. >> they are using it as a weapon against the president and that is flat-out wrong. brian: if you look back at the financial crisis in 2008. hank paulson worked with please who worked with barack obama. the president let the experts run. one thing you look back. you might not like tarp or like tarp. we had concerted action and he didn't have blame until the actual election took place and people pointed to why we are not seeing that now. >> no political unity here and there should be political unity. i might add real fast. this rolling crash as i'm calling it looks likely to continue when trading continues today. i'm looking at futures down about 300 more points. steve: how long? >> nobody knows. simply don't know. the selling has been overdone. i think there is awful lot of people who have a longer term horizon who can invest now and not take their money for three or four years.

i think they are looking for the bargains. and there are bargaining out. >> there there are companies creating the vaccines you are seeing their stocks go up. way up. face mask companies doubled in particular. vaccine companies, drug companies. most of them are going up. brian: a tough thing to do show concern but also show reassurance. fine line. >> brian: he backed out. >> democrats are not making it any better. brian: every expert behind him all talked about their plans. put somebody else in charge that used to run a state and a lot of governmental experience. this is such a reach to go out and criticize him. that's what drives people nuts. you have things you can criticize? this is not it. yet or ever. >> nancy pelosi talking about a panic on the market, actually making the panic worse. brian: you have larry kudlow today. >> i do indeed. i want objective judgment about what kind of impact this has on our economy now and up to the summer. larry kudlow is on the show. about 10:30 this morning on our program. steve: well, during these

tee meltous times people are watching fox business for the latest. brian: get you here to tell us first. we appreciate it? >> sure. brian: crunch time in south carolina. joe biden still holds the lead there. a new fox news national poll shows bernie sanders tailing biden from the top spot with a, get. this 13-point lead. steve: president trump is preparing to rally his ways in the palmetto state of south carolina. ainsley: griff jenkins is live in north charleston this morning. hey, griff. >> good morning, ainsley, brian and steve. we are weighing the waking themt 7:00. anxiously they miss you. you are the hometown favorite here a guy named lee said why didn't they send ainsley instead of you? i'm going it do my best while i'm here it. is turning into a battle between biden biden and bernie wells will amy klobuchar weighing in. take a listen. >> all of bernie's plans combined have been estimated to be $60 trillion as

well- intentioned as they are. that is three times the cost of the entire u.s. economy. >> sanders sanders medicare for all pushes will be a long, long expensive slog. cost over $35 trillion. and the patients can't afford to wait. >> we came a long way when we first started this campaign we were about 30 points behind. we are closing that gap every day. we can win here in south carolina. i think we are going to do well on super tuesday all across this country. and i think we are going to defeat donald trump. >> now, very interesting numbers in the south carolina polls. let me show them to you emerson a 16 point lead bye bye den, he is 41%, sanders 25%. steyer and buttigieg tied at 11%. klobuchar 6%. biden on top, 28%. sanders 24. steyer's 16. warren 12%. buttigieg 11%. national fox news poll for the first time we see

sanders leading nationally at 31%. biden 18%. bloomberg 16%, buttigieg 12%. warren 10%. we have been talking to folks here in the parking lot. a little bit later we will bring you about what they have to say whether they think any of these democrats can beat donald trump. guys? steve: which is the number one issue. ainsley: they love you too, griff. steve: in south carolina. ainsley: i volunteered to go just so you know if you live in south carolina. i always get this why aren't you down here? steve: griff was talking about the brand new fox news poll. one of the other questions that we ask people was will the president be reelected in 2020? and take a look at that a majority of americans said absolutely yes. 56 percent said, 10% unsure. brian: right. ari fleischer weighed in on the other major issue and that is the bernie sanders factor on the left it. changing their party. and there is massive push back which could lead to a civil war within the democrat field. ari fleischer weighed in. >> very few of the democrats

offer any policies. awful they are doing is offering opposition to donald trump except for bernie sanders. and where sanders is right is people think he has radical ideas. they have become the commonplace ideas inside the democratic party. bernie has radicalized the democratic party. now, the rest of america understands and sees how bad his ideas are. they understand what socialism is. and that's why i think still he is the best opponent for donald trump to have. the ease yates to beat although i still say it will be a close election no matter what. i would rather have sanders. sanders has socialismized that party. steve: he has, indeed. there is a "new york times" article that talks about how the super delegated in the party feel. they talked to 93 of them. they all hate the idea of bernie sanders. ainsley: can you believe this? steve: apparently according to this bill clinton is telling his old friends on the phone that this bernie sanders is the nominee. the party is going to get wiped out. ainsley: super delegates can vote for somebody else. steve: on the second

delegate. brian: when you are defending fidel castro on the main theme of your debate i think you are a little back wampletedz. steve: that's why republicans in the congress are trying to get democrats in swing districts on the hook are you with bernie and castro or are you with america? brian: by the way castro dead. carley shimkus great job this morning. carley: thank you. brian: are you ready to update us? carley: let's go. headlines across the country. friends, family and he co-workers hold a prayer vigil for the five workers murdered at milwaukee brewery. anthony farrell worked as electrician at the molt ton coors facility. he shot and killed five of his co-workers before killing himself. according to a new report, farrell had a long-running feud with one of his victims. a fellow electrician. a man who has been deported twice before is under arrest in a triple murder jose garcia accused of killing three men execution style in

targeted attack in california. he was arrested 16 hours away during a traffic stop in wyoming. police say he had 15 pounds of marijuana in his car. 2020 hopeful amy klobuchar takes the stage at a fox news town hall as she trails in the polls. the minnesota democrat pointing out she has an advantage over other moderate candidates. >> i have more delegation than michael bloomberg. i'm the one who pushed to have him on the debate stage. i don't know if that was a good idea for him, but i pushed for that because i think that you can't just have money determine politics. you just can't. carley: klobuchar also reinforcing her pro-choice stance when asked about this week's senate vote on a 20-week abortion ban. >> i would have voted with the democrats on that because i think roe v. wade is now the law of the land and a lot of these bills had attempts to change that. carley: klobuchar says as

president she will work with congress to codify roe v. wade into law. some headlines out of that town hall and send it over to you guys. steve: it was a great town hall on fox and this weekend on "fox news sunday" chris wallace is going to sit down with joe biden for the first time since 2007. brian: wow. ainsley: i love that they are doing that. brian: going to be an emotionalee r. reunion. steve: stay tuned for that crack down at the border was supposed to derail his presidency. why is the president's approval with hispanic voters stronger than ever? we'll talk to steve cortes coming up next. brian: don't count her out just yet. hillary clinton just made a big announcement. ♪ ♪ when cravings come on strong, be stronger... with nicorette coated ice mint.

♪ ♪ >> when it comes to immigration, you know that the 11 million illegals, even if given the right to vote, you know, you are going to have to do what's right. but the fact is 11 million people will be voting democratic. steve: president trump has long-taken a hard line stance against illegal immigration. look at that that was back in 2013. despite warnings from critics it could derail his campaign, new numbers proving the opposite. in fact, look at the big screen right there. 39% of hispanic voters approve of trump's presidency in a recent fox news poll. here to discuss steve cortes spokesman for america first action and he joins us live from chicago. it's been a while, steve. good to have you back.

>> great to be back. thank you, steve. steve: what's behind these numbers? so many people said with that kind of rhetoric nobody is going to vote for him who has hispanic blood in them. >> right. steve: and, yet, you look at the numbers and they are going the other way. i don't understand. >> right. we see the opposite is true. this president though specializes in defying expectations. doesn't he and defying the critics. certainly in this case. i will give you a one word reason why in this case. opportunity. hispanics are embracing the opportunity that this president's policies have brought to our community, particularly when it comes to the economy. that same fox news poll that you mentioned. it had an economic approval number of 52% for president trump. among hispanics. hispanics are thriving in this country. as are all-american underdogs aspirational strifers. this is a blue collar boom. many hispanics nate category. in addition to that steve, i think this is crucial, is the entrepreneurial zeal that is alive again in this country. hispanics are statistically

by far the most entrepreneurial demographic in america. we are about twice as likely as other americans to start new businesses. well, small business optimism is absolutely surging within the trump boom because of tax and regulatory relief. so life is getting better for hispanics. and hispanics are very smartly disregarding the narratives that are pushed upon them by mainstream media. steve: right. another narrative that is being pushed by the state department is the state department apparently is buying a bunch of billboards down in guatemala and el salvador and essentially what it is telling people from central america they are saying it is illegal to come into the united states illegally. turn around. these are on big boards that on roads. >> right. listen, i'm glad they are doing. this this is effective messaging. a lot of people frankly are exploited and abused in that process north thinking they can do this. look, this is important too, i think. it totally disrespects legal

immigrants, people like my father who went through the difficult, often time consuming and often expensive process to become a legal american it. disrespects them to presuppose that others can hop the line and cheat the system. our country welcomes immigrants far more than any other country in the world. about 1 million legal immigrants a year. we are a land of legal immigration and we always will be. but those who would come here illegally and those who exploit the hopes of those who come here illegally willing to lock its front door. nothing racist or xenophobic about this. steve: steve cortes thank you for joining us. >> >> thank you. steve: meanwhile straight ahead on this friday, a fox news alert. 8,000 people now being monitored for the caronavirus in california. a small percentage of those infected will develop into confirmed cases. dr. nicole saphier on deck

half were on that cruise ship. currently we have 60 cases in the united states. 33 of them being in california. the important thing to remember is the far majority of those cases are people from the repatriation flights back. couple of the very close contact. the one case, the woman currently in critical condition with the virus has brought questions of you who did she get infected and are there asymptomatic people infecting others. before we start having widespread panic we have some random woman with the disease the important thing to remember this is solon know county this is the travis air force base where we have a large amount of people being quarantined to get the people out of quarantine they either need to have two negative test for the virus or need to be symptom-free for 14 days. after 14 days of no symptoms, they are being released. and unfortunately, we have seen that there are asymptomatic people who are testing positive for the virus. they need to change that perhaps everyone needs to be

tested for the virus before they can be released. not just based on symptoms. the cdc just in the last couple of days has loosened their recommendations regarding who needs to be tested. so the solono county woman likely had a contact with someone who was infected. brian: the lot of people going the president is considering executive order considering one report to start producing masks on a mass level. do masks work? should we all be trying to buy masks? >> before everyone goes out and purchasing things and preparing for apalm lips. keep things in perspective. masks do work preventing infection. of the people who need masks are those that are particular sick, close contact you, family members and healthcare workers. by everyone going out and taking up all of these splice it is leaving us with not enough of them in the people who actually need them. the truth is most people don't actually wear masks appropriately. they are not working for them. brian: 85% of cases are in china. number of cases are declining. 81,000 plus just over that right now with it.

2,662 roughly have died. if people get the caronavirus today, and they are not compromised at all prior, are they going to die? >> so, the report that came out of china, they put out a very small study that showed about 2% death rate with this virus. i think that's overestimated because they have underreported their cases. outside of china the death rate is less than 1% it. is still a little bit higher than the flu. but the truth is over 80% of people just have a very mild infection just like a common cold, a few more of that can have a severe infection and less than 1% have critical illness. but the important thing to remember is when you are comparing it with the flu we have the flu vaccine, known treatments for the flu and also have a heightened awareness so people are diagnosed earlier. when it comes to caronavirus vs. the flu death rates are going to be similar. brian: gotcha. see what happens. next year probably two different vaccine. >> we have 3,000 people being diagnosed with the flu in new york city every week alone. we have to continue hand

washing, good hand hygiene. brian: dr. saphier, thanks so much. trump virus that's the new op-ed headline. media all in on blaming the president for the caronavirus is that fair? pete hegseth has been thinking about this all night and is he smiling. love story of fbi agents peter strzok and lawyer lisa page hits the stage at cpac. ♪ we made usaa insurance for members like martin.

quarantines towns for to become an absolute national crisis for one reason and one reason alone. they have yet to find a reason to try to drag down the presidency of donald trump. and because this could be a national crisis. it already is grabbing international headlines, if it takes hold in the united states of america. even though it is not the fault of donald trump they will try it to pin it to him like his katrina moment and make it political. a headline like this lays bear their intentions because we know it already. they just won't say it. so, i think it's important to say it. because we know it's in the backs of the minds of a lot of democrats and the back ever of the minds of a lot of us who watch how this is playing out. one of the things that is false. they said the president cut -- backed the budget on the cdc that is not true. even the ap just wrote about that today. the other thing is you have a situation where i have never remember this in congress before. they are mad at the president for not asking for more money. so they want him to ask for

more money but they don't say what he is not spending it on that bothers them so much. so they are saying you better take more money. they have twisted themselves into a pretzel. >> of course they have. as you mentioned on the program already today, don't let a good crisis go to waste. we don't know what they are going to spend it on. we should be intentional about how we spend it. and that's what the administration is doing. yet, democrats will always ask for higher number because, yet again, they want a bludgeon to hit the president for. frankly at this moment, the difference between 2 billion and 8 billion, i mean to hate to say it as someone to cherishes the taxpayer we give away that the government confiscates from us? what's the difference in the face of this crisis? probably better to take the talking point away from them. we should be pointing the finger exactly where it should be which is at china which has not contained this which ultimately, you know, how did it manifest? where is it going and how do we contain ourselves? that should be something we all agree on and not panic about and support the administration as it attempts to keep us safe. ainsley: the president did say if we need more money if

we run out of that money then we will ask for more. >> exactly. money is not the issue here it. is a political talking point for democrats to use against him. brian: by the way, i just like to say, this tom steyer just emailed this out and the headline is caronavirus could be trump's katrina, called it a total failure. his response to it so far. with no deaths and 60 cases. >> that's exactly what i was going to say. no deaths without any -- what do you say other than you know where they are going. their hatred is blinding. ultimately -- ainsley: and the economy is down right now because of the caronavirus. >> the market. ainsley: the market is they are probably jumping for joy. >> ainsley, you know how much they hate this president. ainsley: i know. >> i can't believe i'm on national television saying that democrats are cheering for a virus because they hate donald trump so much and that's what it is. that's precisely what it is. if they were focused on a solution they would be

working with him and they would be saying let's put all the politics aside and identify what the issue is and make sure we keep americans safe. instead they are capitalizing on it. you are going to see it on the democratic primary even more. you are seeing it from candidates and the "new york times." it's a shame. steve: pete, to your point, after the after the administration talked about 2.5 billion. he doesn't know what he is talking about. we need three times of that amount. looks like north of 7 billion ultimately. down in our nation's capital for cpac. folks can stream it on fox nation. if you don't have it yet go to fox nation.com and check it out. what are you going to be doing down. >> there i will be on the stage at cpac about an hour and a half about 8:00. i don't know what i'm going to say yet. tune in to find out. we'll make it up as we go along. steve: just pete on pete? pete: pete is topic on pete on pete on america. where it goes no one else knows and we will find out. cool thing is if you have fox nation, it will be

to be a total security lockdown when you are on stage. pete: i'm not sure that's how they characterized the lineup, brian. brian: i think that's the way i am. brian: serrie, talk back to brian, steve and ainsley. ainsley: we turned it off. brian: the biggest turnout they have ever had. you can't get a ticket. ainsley: really? steve: well, because you can't get a ticket, stream it live on fox nation. meanwhile, streaming live and coast to coast via cable carley shimkus. carley: good morning, guys. we have news on the story we have been following for weeks now. news day cult mom lori vallow told the stepsons about the father's death. vallow texted her grown stepson one day after her late husband's death. vallow's brother is accused of shooting and killing him. he called it self-defense. lori vallow agreed to be extradited from hawaii to idaho to face charges connected to her missing kids. j.j. vallow and tie lee ryan

purpose? steve: that is a brilliant marketer and he regards himself as the largest one. ainsley: largest prize. 54 up for grabs. steve: fast forward to super tuesday. so we have a busy week, plus, there is news about the caronavirus and we start with a fox news alert. 7:00 here in new york city. 33 people have apparently tested positively for the caronavirus in california. more than 8,000 in the state are currently being monitored for symptoms. brines. brian: this comes one day after someone there contracted the virus without any known link to china. ainsley: vice president mike pence assuring americans that the trump administration is ready for anything, he says. >> ending travel, closes our borders people coming in from china. establishing a quarantine process. setting up a task force. if the president hadn't taken those unprecedented steps. >> they didn't seem to like it then. >> we would be in a different place today, sean.

steve: there he was with sean last night. bret baier, chief political anchor, also the executive editor of "special report." we will talk about his special this sunday night. and something going on over at fox nation. but, first, a couple of nights ago during your program, you went live to the briefing room at the white house. >> right. steve: there had the president had assembled the medical a team essentially. the message then was we have got this. unfortunately, there have been politics involved. and that's troubling because so many people are watching and they are going how concerned should i be and they are making it sound like he is at blame? what's going on? >> well, listen, politics is wrapped in everything in washington once you get there but, there is a hope, at least that politics gets pulled out of this. the president, the vice president there with sean citing democrats really aggressively characterizing the administration's response. but you have fact checker like the associated press that say democrats are distorting that information. for example, there was vice

president biden, mike bloomberg said funding was cut to the cdc. while there were proposed cuts. that was never realized funding was increased to the nih and cdc. the cdc is doing exactly what they would do under any president and they are doing with tell. brian: right now ranked number one of the country most prepared to handle something like this. and so far we are mobilizing it is seeming the best we can are you surprised it got to this quick into politics because you remember 2008. we were sitting there with a republican president, a senator barack obama, hank paul treasury secretary. guess who he called for help? nancy pelosi. guess what he got? tarp. an emergency procedures. we seem to have seen that as a crisis. we seem to see this as politics. >> i will go back to the big moments. you know, hurricane katrina, it gets characterized a certain way. even though the information on the ground was different.

steve: with president bush. >> president obama the bp oil spill it wasn't like republicans weren't hopping on that political hammer right away to say you are not handling it well. this is a different situation whether you have so many people really inquiz inquisitive about what's next and worrying about their family. >> last night klobuchar said she wanted the politics out of it in our town hall. steve: good. >> the message is not getting across the board on capitol hill or elsewhere. ainsley: that's how most americans think too. the president says the caronavirus which started in china and spread to various countries throughout the world very slowly in the u.s. because president trump closed our border and ended flights very early is now being blamed by the do-nothing democrats to be the fault of trump. and the "new york times" you probably saw that op-ed that was titled the trump virus. >> yeah. listen, there will be a pushback to that. the bottom line is for the administration they have to show that they are one, on

top of it, and, two, that they are empowering these health officials to be able to make the decisions they need to make. but all of them did say by the president's actions in task force and closing the border it did change the dynamic at least early in the caronavirus. steve: sure, also remember i think it was tuesday when one of the doctors from the cdc said it's not a question of if, it's when. that freaked out the markets and then they went into free fall. yesterday the cdc director up on capitol hill said about her statement he said i think it maybe could have done much more articulately. she was trying to say it's a good time to prepare if we have to go to more mitigation. in other words, she -- if she had a do-over might not have used those exact words. >> yeah. i mean, the bottom line there will be more cases it's just going to happen. you can't just shut off a virus. the question is how long this is going to last. and how fast does the vaccine take? a year to a year and a half is a long time. brian: let's move ahead and talk about 2020. of course you will be

covering the south carolina primary and going crazy on super tuesday. fox news does a national poll and bernie sanders top spot by a wide margin. that is really is panicking, not donald trump, not republicans but democrats to a degree that i don't even remember. in fact, look at the "new york times," democratic leaders worried to risk party damage to stop bernie sanders and that with a mean if he doesn't have the threshold they go to other ways to get a nominee come party time come election time. bret: right. get really messy come milwaukee. 93 super delegates. 84 saying yeah, we are willing to go to the convention and give it to somebody else besides bernie sanders. now, just imagine going in there with a plurality, a lead of the delegates and coming out of there not the nominee? brian: you think the bernie fans were upset in philadelphia? when they didn't get it? that's going to be nothing compared to the anger that they will show. >> we have a long way to go. there is a possibility it

could turn around. joe biden is poised to have a big night in south carolina. it's tough to do the math, the trajectory of you who anybody gets to 1911 delegates. steve: don't you think, bret, if joe biden does really well and according to the polls, the emerson poll he is running away with it in south carolina. given a couple days, the super tuesday states that look like a run away for bernie sanders, people might be going, you know, i have been listening to the bernie sanders thing and maybe is he a socialist or communist if you listen to some commentators and michael bloomberg i really didn't like him so much during the last debate and the one before that, so maybe joe is the safe bet? >> exactly. that's what the biden campaign is hoping. and hoping that he doesn't, you know, trip up along the way. i think south carolina is, possibly, the turn around for joe biden. at least in the short-term. and the question is whether super tuesday can you get any of those states. brian: he has spent almost no time and money in those other indicates and doesn't seem to have the energy.

i would be stunned if the momentum changes. ainsley: biden? >> the problem is there are other people in the race. have you got to get to 15%. and to get the viability, to get delegation, there are some states that he is not even there. brian: i know. ainsley: people didn't see the town hall with klobuchar. she is knocking both bloomberg and biden, watch. this as far as the mayor, i mean, my concern always has, i'm the one that pushed to have him on the debate stage. i think that you can't just have money determine politics. the way you do that is first of all not blowing it up like some of my colleagues senator sanders and senator warren want to do. all of bernie's plans combined, medicare for all and many things have been estimated to be $60 trillion. that is three times the cost of the entire u.s. economy. brian: they are making him do the math. even though he says we don't have time to do it.

donna shalala, we all are at risk with bernie sanders. juan vargas it will be a disaster for all of us. congressman al bu ago larr i'm t a communist. side show we are watching. >> it is. first of all, amy klobuchar, it was interesting town hall. at times i think she thought she was on the senate floor because there were very long answers. and we were trying to get. ainsley: you are like this is tv. >> let's keep it moving. we have a lot of audience questions. in and she dealt with substance which is really what we are trying to do with town halls. ainsley: will she stay in all the way through the convention. >> i think super tuesday is a really determining fact for for her. obviously she has to win minnesota. you know, money starts to run out. brian: she has more than biden. let's talk about especially what we will be seeing on sunday that's doing extremely well getting a lot of traction on fox nation. >> called the unauthorized history of socialism. we have been working on it for a long, long time. it just so happens that

bernie sanders is the leader as a democratic socialist. this goes back to the beginning. really just lays it out straight about how socialism began as an idea. and where it went to and thousand evolved and different iterations since then. six half hour specials on fox nation that you can get on fox nation. we will have an hour special on sunday night at 10:00 p.m. brian: did you bring a clip with you. >> i don't know, did i? steve: did you and here it. >> the communist manifesto predicted that as capitalism progressed the working class would become so large and so poor that revolution would be inevitable. the result, socialism. a new worker state where people contributed according to their ability and received according to their need. >> it turned out that had pure socialism, in which everything had to be shared and done together on group, people really were not

comfortablcomfortable living th. steve: you know, bret, in the fox nation special and it is doing gang busters on fox nation right now, talks about the origins of socialism in the united states, and the origin was gary, indiana. bret: yeah. and the first effort really fell apart soon after it started. and there was this realization that you can't really get it all to happen like they imagined. but, yet, the idea kept on going and kept on evolving and countries picked it up all over the world and made it their own. steve: i don't get it because if it kept failing why do people keep thinking you know that thing that didn't work over there because we should -- bret: it sounds like a good idea. ainsley: everything is free, yeah. brian: anyone points out denmark, sweden and norway have it right they are not socialist countries in the way that bernie sanders is portraying them. they have more billionaires over there. they are allowed to keep their inheritance. brian: they export. brian: they export more. there is a lot of freedom

over there more than we have. bret: there is going to be a lot of instruction that bernie sanders is going to have to do to democrats in particular who are, you know, skiddish about this. especially in suburbs. brian: i would lose the fidel castro castro model. bret: that would be a start. brian: that's where i would go. ainsley: we heard a bite yesterday with sean hannity questioning de blasio and he said if bernie gets in office he is going continue to crease taxes for anyone making $29,000. brian: finally. ainsley: and more by 4%. when you die you have to give 90% of your money back to the government. brian: sounds like a great country. >> details are what matter. we haven't had a done of them. steve: when you say bernie will have to instruct the public on thousand will work, everybody who is running against him are just going to remind him that's socialism. and look how brian. bret: think about debate stages like a yelling food fight and you don't really hear any of the details and bernie sanders says big things and billionaire,

millionaire. ainsley: you will never -- we don't ever hear what he is going to do his plan. when they ask him how are you going to afford this? he said we don't have time for me to tell you. bret: there will be time over the next several months. steve: i love the title "the unauthorized history of socialism." bret: just in case socialists need to sign off on the six-party series. brian: bret, good to see new person. you look wide awake. bret: thank you. brian: if we ever turn an ankle you want to come in. bret: right. ainsley: you will be on saturday night with the results. bret: super tuesday is the big one coming up. steve: thank you, sir. brian: have you even met carley shimkus? bret: hey, how are you? carley: we have met one or two times. bret: good to see you. carley: update on tragic story we have been following. overnight friends family and co-workers hold a prayer vigil for the five workers murdered at milwaukee brewery. police say the suspect anthony farrell worked as

good jobs that are looking for people. it's the trump economy. people have confidence in the country. they see that we are standing up around the world. everybody who has a job who wants a job can have one here. the same all over the country. people are growing, prosperity is breaking out. i mean, it's just a wonderful thing. and it's all happened since donald trump has been president. ainsley: you know, governor, i grew up in that state as you know. i was shocked to see one of these polls. if you look at the monmouth poll and clemson university poll, they have biden 20 points, 18-point lead in our state. but the posten courier as you know is the newspaper in charleston, they have bernie neck and neck. look biden 28% and sanders 24%. why is that? are you shocked? i'm surprised socialism, according to this poll is fairing well in that state? >> well, a lot of people don't know what socialism is and they will need to find out. i hope that the democrats really don't believe all

those things that they trying to sell to the people because if they do, we really are in deep, deep trouble. but, i think joe biden will win south carolina by a big margin. he has been here a lot. people know him. but, the democrats are going off in to left field. it's really a very dangerous thing and that's why more and more people are coming to trump. they love -- they literally love donald trump. and i have never seen anything like the enthusiasm that they have for this man. he is probably the -- certainly the strongest political figure of our time. he is charismatic. he is changing the world. it is -- south carolina loves donald trump. and you watch every time he is here he expresses his love for the people of south carolina. it is a great relationship what he has done for the country and for our state is terrific. ainsley: when you look at the democratic party in south carolina. 60% are african-americans. how important was jim clyburn's endorsement for

joe biden? >> i think it's very important. and also joe reilly and a lot of others. it is important. and, again, i think that he will win south carolina. jim clyburn is respected and riley is respected by republicans and democrats. we don't always agree on the issues. they are highly respected leaders in our state and i think that's a big plus i think you will see a lot of other people coming out for vice president biden as well. in the end it doesn't make any difference who is going to get the nomination. donald trump is going to win. he has changed and making america great again to use that expression and it's making south carolina a stronger, happier place and we are going to stick with him. no matter what. ainsley: governor, thank you so much for being with us. we wish you all the best. >> come back -- come see us. ainsley: i will. i'm home a lot. kiss that southern floor for

me. yeah, griff. they sent griff to charleston. thank you so much; brian is over there talking. >> amen. ainsley: caronavirus growing as cases top 83,000 now. dr. mike says hospitals are prepared for the outbreak even if it gets worse. pete davidson is not sorry for mocking congressman dan crenshaw. what does he think of that? we're going to ask him when he joins us live coming up. ♪ ♪ thunder thunder thunder ♪ thunder ♪ feel the thunder ♪ woman: the deadly corona virus

family medicine physician. is he on the show a lot. he has a lot of wise wisdom and he joins us live. dr. mike, one of the things we were talking about people getting faked freaked out about the caronavirus because there is a lot of fake news. >> flint firefighters union people essentially yelling fire in a crowded movie theater inciting panic when it comes to caronavirus. they are putting out information that's not true. trying to scare people into actually having a stigma against certain populations. and it causes more harm than good. we, in the medical setting, we want to establish the most accurate information upfront so people can make the best health decisions for themselves. steve: you know, and it is a -- a big problem around the world, potentially. >> sure. >> i was just talking about the number of worldwide cases. remember here in the united states there are 60 confirmed cases.

and so far zero deaths, thank goodness. but, you know, a lot of people, i was at drugstore yesterday. all of the face masks were gone. i was over at home supply store, all the respirators were gone as well. i was reading today in the "the washington post," it said that how to prepare in the u.s. no need to wear a mask if you are not sick, you don't need to wear them. you just don't need to buy one because you don't need it unless you are sick. >> exactly. most people don't understand that these inexpensive surgical masks are really important for us in the hospital settings. when a patient comes in and they are sick, caronavirus, flu, common cold, we need them to wear it so that they don't get everyone else sick in the hospital. it's part of our isolation containment procedure. we need to do that more often. however, with limited supply, because people are buying it for themselves, for travel, it's not necessary cdc is doing a great job trying to put out information on social media. any time where you don't have all the answers, people are going to jump in, make

incorrect statements and my job as a family medicine physician to correct that and explain to the general public what's going on. steve: government wants to make sure all the hospitals and doctors have everything they need. ultimately though, you say regarding the caronavirus and the united states because precautions have been taken, people just need to relax and stay calm. >> the term i like to use here is alert not anxious. we need to be aware that this can change very rapidly. it's a dynamic situation. the cdc said that this is likely going to spread in our community. and it's very possible that that might happen. it doesn't mean we should panic. we should be prepared more mild disruptions whether that means day care. school changes. not going to work and connecting through tele services. all of that can happen but if we ban together and take personal responsibility by washing our hands. not going in if we are sick. being prepared if something happens. that's how we can best battle this caronavirus going forward. steve: all right. thank you so much yesterday

we talked about how some diet supplies will be affected by caronavirus. we mentioned the brand name splenda. splenda is not made in china. brand name for su sue crow suc . they did not provide splend splenda: on display at bernie's rallies. >> we need a powerful socialist movement to end all capitalist oppression and exploitation. steve: well, lawrence jones sounds off on the movement that seems to be sweeping through the democratic party and lawrence is coming up next. ♪ all come out in the wash ♪ it will all come out ♪ all come out in the wash ♪ (announcer) carvana's had a lot of firsts.

steve: just about 24 hours to go. crunch time in south

carolina. candidates making last-ditch efforts to break down joe biden's strong showing in the palmetto state. this is a brand new fox news poll shows sanders taking the lead nationally. ainsley: meantime president trump is preparing to rally his base in the palmetto state. brian: that is the nickname of south carolina. griff jenkins is live in north charleston where he is the second choice of everyone there. they prefer to see ainsley. give us the information. you have such self-esteem issues by the time you are done with this. ainsley: they love you too, griff. brian: they don't really. griff: i know. what can i say, guys? the jumbotron has come alive behind me. this crowd is all ready to see their president. getting fired up here face the president in november. sanders on a 13-point lead. 31%. first time we have seen bernie sanders leading nationally. followed by biden 18, bloomberg 16. buttigieg 12, warren 10%. here in the state. in the palmetto state as you

noted, brian. emerson poll 16 point lead for biden and get to another one post and courier poll. biden has a narrow lead by 4 points. yesterday biden and sanders just going after each other. listen. >> senator sanders medicare for all push will be a long, long expensive slog. cost over $35 trillion. and the patient can't afford to wait. >> we have come a long way. when we first thought of this campaign about 30 points behind. we are closing that gap every day. >> griff: now, meanwhile, brian, ainsley, and steve, i can ken fuhrman and son is a pastor here. where did you come from. >> little rock area. griff: you drove 12 hours just to seat president. your first rally. i asked you what i have been asking all these people here. do you think any of these democrats can defeat donald trump in november? >> i don't believe so. i think there is too big of a rift between the parties. as far as ideologies. i have socialism on one side and capitalism on the other

side. and they don't mix. and i think donald trump will probably win the election. griff: dan you are shaking your head. you are a pastor. you talk to the folks. what do they think when they look at the democrat field vs. donald trump. >> not a chance. a landslide victory for president trump. he stands for what's right. he protects the unborn. stands with israel and we're proud of our president and glad he is coming here. griff: all right. thanks, guys. that's the scene here. it's gates open or doors open i should say around 3:00 p.m. for these folks. rally is at 7:00. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: as they rally around griff. thank you very much. ainsley: great restaurants there, jiff, enjoy. steve: no kidding. the democratic party is lurching to the left as evidenced by a gallup poll that reveals 76%. three quarters of the country of democrats would vote for a socialist. ainsley: and, nowhere is the rise of socialism more clear than a bernie sanders rally. take a look.

>> we need a powerful socialist movement to end all capitalist oppression and exploitation. [cheers] >> how does it feel to be able radical? huh? [cheers] >> a bunch of revolutionaries. [cheers] >> a bunch of socialists here in myrtle beach. brian: a lot of loudness. lawrence jones has been keeping up. he joins us now. what did you find? >> you know, guys, this isn't anything new. i told you guys for two years when i was on the college campuses that there was this rise of movement in socialism. that young people were buying it and now they are going into local communities that are desperate for change and it's working. we saw the poll that says three out of four democrats are willing to vote for a

socialist. i don't think we can have this owe approach that we're going to win the next elections. because i do think donald trump will win the next election. but these socialists want generational change. they are not looking to so much win the next election but to set america on a course for socialism in the future. steve: yeah. lawrence, if the "new york times," i know you saw this headline, democratic leaders willing to risk party damage to stop bernie sanders, and talks about how the super delegates who could swoop in on the second ballot, none of them are fans of bernie, they know that down ballot people are going to be in danger and the house and the senate. you and you talked to some supporters of bernie regard that right? >> yeah. you know, we have been reporting on this for a while that the democratic party is actively working against bernie sanders. i had the opportunity to go to his rally yesterday and talk with folks. this is what they had to say. >> unfortunately, it's really kind of what you would see coming to a head since 2016. >> i think that the democratic party is

isolated. >> gosh, i don't know what else to say? it's harmful to us as a country and to everybody to want to do something like that. >> i really would hope that the people blue no matter who would pile in behind bernie. >guys, the big question is if they continue to do this, will those same bernie supporters support the nominee? and if bernie sanders is the nominee, will those moderate voters come out and support bernie sanders? brian: i think your theme is if the republicans dodge a bullet this time with the president winning again, it doesn't mean it's not going to be harder next time. >> that's exactly right. ainsley: it's going to be interesting to see what happens with the democratic party after this election, too. it's totally divided. all right. thank you. you can watch more of lawrence on "keeping up with jones" on fox nation. we appreciate it. steve: all right. check it out. all right, meanwhile, it's about a quarter before the top of the hour. and carley joins us with news about a california

congressman. carley: controversy brewing in california, guys, this morning. congressman adam schiff, republican challenger jess he is knelting the homeless problem in his district. >> mr. schiff has completely abandoned our district in the 20-plus years he has been in office. it's a mess out here. it's terrible. he has done nothing, virtually nothing for our district. certainly not a darn thing with respect to homelessness. >> eric early says california's crisis has gotten worse under schiff. schiff's team pushed back saying he has introduced bills in congress to address homelessness. captain america could soon share a shelf with barbie. a democratic assemblyman proposing a new bill in california requiring department stores to have at least one gender eye neutral aisle for kids. include gender-neutral toys and shows. compare products with, quote, unjustified differences. a nightmare in disney world magic kingdom.

steve: meanwhile remember when pete davidson apologized for mocking combat veteran dan crenshaw when he was running for congress? well, it turns out pete's not really sorry about that. >> i didn't think i did anything wrong. it was like words that were twisted so that a guy could, you know, be famous. brian: really? what does the congressman think about the walk back on the apology? we are about to find out next. ♪ ♪ - [spokeswoman] meet the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. the ninja foodi pressure cooker, the pressure cooker that crisps.

♪ brian: all right. remember what pete davidson the comedian from snl said this about then congressional candidate dan crenshaw on "saturday night live." >> you may be surprised to hear he is a congressional candidate from texas and not a hit man in a porno movie. i know he lost his eye in war or whatever. brian: right. really inappropriate most would thought. davidson apologized to crenshaw on snl in 2018. but now he is walking that back. watch this. >> this guy with a eye patch

and then i got forced to apologize because people were like threatening to like shoot me in the face. and my roommate thought that i should apologize so that i didn't get shot in the face. brian: here to react texas congressman dan crenshaw. that roommate we think is his mom and he basically went on to say, congressman, that he wasn't sorry and that you became more famous because of it. >> yeah, i think he did, too. to be fair. i can't get out of pete davidson's head. he has been thinking about me a lot for the past year as he build his comedy routine apparently. i'm not so sure his jokes always land it is what it is. our comedic careers are joined at the hip because he can't stop thinking about me. it's a little sad. we had a really good moment, you know, at that time in

2018. america liked it. the left and the right liked it. so, you know, we don't really want to ruin that i will tell you, the pete davidson i remember, you know, he went out to buy some cigarettes, you know, while we were rehearsing and he came back because he had found this lighter that said never forget on it. and he gave that to me as a gesture. he said this was cool that this happened to come up while he was buying cigarettes. i think he meant well at the time and, you know, you can never tell with comedians and who knows how much he had to drink beforehand. i don't know. we don't have to take it too seriously. brian: right. i just want to know do you take his apology seriously or do you take his netflix special comments seriously? >> hard to say. hard to say. one is a threat flicks special. to be fair, if we took everything that comedians said on a netflix special seriously man our country would be in a world of hurt. i would like to remember the guy that i saw in person and

hung out with that night. brian: gotcha. we'll see. i don't think you joined the military and lost your eye to be more famous. that's just me though. >> that's true. brian: something else we can all agree on. we have a positive view of country. so does america. gallup did a poll 53% of the american people were satisfied with u.s. position in the world. 60% think the u.s. rates favorably on the global stage. i thought donald trump was ruining our credibility. >> yeah. well, he is definitely not. we are doing well on the world stage. we have a whole series of foreign policy achievements. donald trump has managed to contain iran while also not giving them boat loads of cash. these are all good things. we havin have managed to start getting our allies to actually pay their fair share which i think a lot of americans can be in favor of. you know, when you look at those polls and you dig into them, what you notice is that democrats still rank very, very low. right? they still believe the

crisis narrative, the doomsday narrative that donald trump is doing everything wrong. there is other polls also done by gallup that show that democrats, as soon as donald trump gets elected start being less proud of their country. you see republicans over time averaging about the same, no matter who is president. brian: yep. >> when donald trump becomes president. democrats tend to be less proud of their country like there is a sharp drop. what does this tell you? it tells you that democrats voters believe what their politicians are telling them that everything is in crisis. that the only way to save america is through some socialist revolution. brian: right. >> it's really sad. we should have some gratitude for how great our country is doing. we should feel like we are doing well because we are doing well. and the only way to win an election for these people is to sell people on this revolution. brian: right, if the president wants to guarantee his election, find a way to lower prescription drug costs and attack healthcare is what most people care about. what are you doing real quick, dan? >> so if the democrats passed price controls on drugs because they are simplicity in thinking. if you put a price control

on something that there is no consequence. of course there is consequences you get a lot less innovation. no one going to do research and development into that next cure. cbo did studies on this 30 less cures because of their bill. that's terrible for the american people. we support hr 19 which is a bipartisan bill. it prevents drug companies, big pharmaceutical companies from stopping generics coming on the market which is how you increase competition and lower overall drug prices also caps senior cut costs as well. that is a good bipartisan bill that we should be looking for to reduce drug prices. brian: we will do it and look for it because that's what everyone cares about. dan crenshaw thanks so much. straight ahead on our show judge jeanine, ben watson, donald trump jr. and jeanine pirro. you know who everybody is. like i'm gonna go into some spiel about how you can get options based on your budget

steve: right to a fox news alert get this 33 people test positive for the coronavirus that happened in california while thousands of others in the state are being monitored at this hour steve: one woman with coronavirus and no nope links to china is in serious condition. dr. nicole sapphire on this program earlier explaining why this should not, should not, raise an alarm. >> now, before we start having widespread panic that we have some random woman with the disease, the important thing to remember is this is solano county, the travis air force base where we have a large amount of people being quarantined. ainsley: vice president mike pence assuring the american people the president's decisive

action will keep americans safe. >> closing our borders, people coming in from china, establishing a quarantine process, setting up a task force , if the president hadn't taken those unprecedented steps, we'd be in a very different place today, shawn. ainsley: this morning another first, the pet dog of a coronavirus patient in hong kong has a low level of the virus. steve: and if confirmed it be the first case of a pet being infected, the pet belonging to somebody with coronavirus let's bring in geraldo rivera. geraldo: good morning, everybody steve: a lot of people are freaking out about this. should be they be? geraldo: yes, i've lost a fortune on the financial aspect. steve: what about our health though? geraldo: you know, 187 children died from the ordinary flu during the last flu season. 187 american children died. that's the flu that you go to

the cbs you get a flu for and don't catch the disease so with all of that carnage with so many children dead and just from ordinary flu, and no panic at all in the financial markets, that shows that there's a big disconnect between the reality of the danger posed by the coronavirus and by no means i'm minimizing it, and the actual medical emergency caused every flu season by people failing to vaccinate their children so there's a big disconnect between perception and reality. having said that this is scary stuff, steve. you don't know where it's going to stop. it's very unsettling. i have two friends and big business guys who have textile concerns. they have big plants in china where they make the fabric that goes to a factory in china or in sri lanka for assembly and then goes on to the united states to walmart and there's no fabric coming out of china they have to lay off the people in sri lanka, the people that distribute the garments in the

united states, there's a ripple effect. steve: you're talking about with the supply chain but ultimately the number of cases in china is actually going down now. geraldo: i am not a doctor, i have no expertise in that area, a l i know is that our great hope right now is for a vaccine and there are several in various stage, preliminary stages of trials. that's where things will calm down. ainsley: i'm curious to find out about your friends because the textile industry was huge in south carolina they all left to go to china. what are your friends saying and what's the future of their company right now? geraldo: the future is we are all recognizing that we are addicted to china. wherever in the supply chain there's a chinese hand, it is a huge hand, they are the secret players in the world economy. they have infiltrated everything you see. steve: you're starting to sound like donald trump. geraldo: the president i love, whose a dear friend of mine, i talked to the president

specifically about the coronavirus, and he was very calm, if anything, understated and said that by april, because of warming weather, you know, that the weather will be our best friend. that was widely stopped by people who said we need much more urgency, and i think the selection, for example, of vice president pence while widely ridiculed on the left is a great idea, a man who has the president's ear, and the gr avitas of being the vice president of the united states and compare him with the chief of staff retired for vice president gore, the head of the ebola response, a real career politician, picked by president obama, and president trump picked his sitting vice president, presiding vice president to head our efforts indicating how serious it is. steve: it is but the thing is the president has to strike a balance. if he just goes wow i can't believe how bad this is that's irresponsible.

if he says listen i've got the good team behind me, i want you to meet him, he points them all out, they spoke and he goes this is my plan, but i just think that it's over-the-top, for people in crisis, to play politics. i know tom ste yer is on this mark to be president but he's totally irresponsible. you want an example? look at this press release. "we are witnessing a total failure on the part of the white house that risks a katrina-level disaster for our country." in what way? geraldo: let me say that i am deeply disappointed in the response of democrats who have chosen to weaponize this a political virus. shame on them for what they have done. they have attempted to use this to ridicule the president, and to campaign against him. shame on them. having said that yes indeed the president has to tread a very fine line, but what that press conference could have happened two weeks ago, three weeks ago, its happened now, let's all get behind this effort , but it is scary, the biggest advice i have is

first of all if you haven't gotten a flu shame on you for you and your kids. get it right now. it won't protect you against the coronavirus but the far more deadly lethal threat is not coronavirus but the ordinary old flu and wash your hands everywhere. wash your hands. brian: you just right now low- balled the importance of the coronavirus. you said the flu is worse than that. geraldo: the flu is more immediate, brian. the flu is right, now people are dying right now. steve: the flu is here. geraldo: nobody has died yet in the united states as far as we know from this disease but what people are most afraid of is the unknown. you need the head of the cbc, i want him out every single day and hear from vice president pence, i want to see him and let's see what the american people are doing tell people about the surgical mask for instance. most people think that the mask isn't going to prevent bacterial viruses from coming in. it's not that. it keeps you from sneezing on people and the germs -- steve: if you're sick. geraldo: it prevents you from being one of the spreaders of

the disease. by having said that, people aren't listening, people are scrambling, trying to get masks brian: let's talk about something else. ainsley: you remember this sound bite we're going to play for you on 60 minutes when bernie sanders was praising fidel castro. catch this. >> we're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of cuba but it's unfair to say everything is met, you know, when fidel castro came into office, do you know what he did? he had a massive literacy program. is that a bad thing even though he did it? steve: after that rant, people are going wait what are you talking about, bernie. now there's a group of house republicans, led by congressman mario diaz who you know, whose family is from cuba, and they're writing up the republicans are a resolution, condemning bernie sanders to put democrats in the house on the record for a very tough question. are you with bernie regarding castro, or are you with the

republicans regarding that idea. geraldo: i'm one of the few surviving journalists who have interviewed fidel castro. i found him charming and charasmatic and i understand why he became such a big deal, and i can understand the magnitism they had as oversized bigger than larger than life personality but what castro did was deplorable. what he did in terms of people's money, putting a regime of fear, a regimen -- brian: he brought back the firing squad. geraldo: socialism stinks, bernie sanders ultimately will fail because of his political researcher um a. having said all of that, i think that when you were young, when i was the age of many bernie supporters, the world, it's unfair you want the world to be a fair place, you want inclusion and spread the wealth and want rich people living in these tall

buildings. steve: you grew up on long island. geraldo: thank you. brian: i just wanted to be part of america. i didn't want to destroy it. geraldo: well i wanted the world to be better i didn't trust anybody over the age of 30. now my shoes are over the age of 30. steve: geraldo we've been to the bernie rally there are a lot of people in their 70s. geraldo: they just never grew up they are still dope smoking. brian: it doesn't mean he's not favored to win this whole thing. geraldo: you know i think that south carolina will change this. i know they are the minority opinion, but having seen the polls in south carolina, it appears as if the black wall, the african american voters, in south carolina, are gravitating back to joe biden, a relatively strong debate performance last time around. steve: strong? geraldo: all of the scary stuff about bernie sanders, why does bernie sanders with this liberal progressive stuff why is he talking to us he doesn't know about our lives, our situations,

our reality. and the economy, the strong suit , we have to hope, i talked to my friends in the textile business, i hope that the economy as opposed to the financial markets, keeps humming along, because they lower that african american unemployment rate, the greater the chances the president will get some of those votes of the black votes . the lower the unemployment rate the greater the chance they will get those latino votes. broaden his coalition and go on to victory. brian: maybe but real quick, on the pushback. he will have one day of winning south carolina and he's got 14 states to win, on super tuesday, and he spent almost no money and made almost no appearances. nothings going to change that dramatically after saturday. ainsley: we'll see. brian: i believe bloomberg and bernie for the survivors. geraldo: write down our predictions, ladies and gentlemen. brian says it's all about bernie i think it's buyers remorse

about bernie sanders, i think bloomberg will show surprising restraint, he's invested a fortune, he's the only democrat whose remotely competent enough to handle the challenges and i think that trump/bloomberg be a good race. steve: let's see what happens. geraldo: i'm just predicting watt do i know? steve: geraldo thank you very much. don't diminish your insight. geraldo: i'll send you my pictures with fidel. ainsley: we have headlines for you. reporter: i've got news out of vatican city to share, pope frances is taking a sick day, the pontiff canceling today as he recovers from an apparent cold. it's unclear exactly what kind of illness the 83-year-old has come down with, but he was seen blowing his nose, and coughing this week. on ash wednesday, the pope voiced for people suffering from coronavirus. three cases have been reported in rome.

each person has already recovered. >> one of the nations largest cities nearly shut down amid a massive water main break. schools and businesses forced to close their doors after an eight foot water line broke, flooding rows and highways across houston some stranded drivers had to be rescued most of the roads are back open this morning. >> take a look at this powerful moment inside the white house. black political and religious leaders praying over president trump after he addressed hundreds of people for black history month. president trump: every generation and every calling african americans have lifted up our nation to new heights, and, like all citizens you're entitled to a government that puts your needs, interests and your families first and that's what we're doing. reporter: the first lady hosted the event with the president. new england, tom brady is open to leaving the patriots. a new report from espn claims he

has already been in talks with three other organizations, and reps for brady apparently meeting with the chargers, raiders, and cults, and if brady joins another team it would end a historic run in new england which includes six super bowl championships in 20 seasons and earlier this year, brady claimed he wasn't going anywhere. he's not going anywhere. this is a money grab. brian: you're forgetting about titans. ainsley: let's put money on it. brian: the former teammate, head coach of the titans? the team is ready to win? ainsley: why would you leave a good thing? brian: exactly. ainsley: if he goes to the titans and fails? brian: he's only 61 years old and the thing is he maybe wants to show he could do it without bill bellecheck, and he feels he's always been underpaid for years. he's stuck with that super model of that mansion.

steve: do you know what it's like being him? brian: winning championships? steve: do you know what it's like being him? brian: very similar. steve: thank you very much we'll see what happens with tom brady meanwhile apple stock has lost billions of dollars worth of value, since coronavirus outbreak, but ceo tim cook says ultimately, long term, he's not worried. >> we have reopened factories, so the factories were able to work through the conditions to reopen. they're reopening. ainsley: susan li from fox business is here with more of her exclusive interview. brian: look at that, good morning. >> ♪ ♪ there's smart and then there's street smart,

>> i found this everywhere in the world we have key components coming from the united states, key parts that are in china and so on and so forth. when you look at the parts that are done in china, we have reopened factories, so the factories were able to work through the conditions to reopen , they're reopening. they are where i think of this as sort of the third phase of getting back to normal and we're in phase iii of the wrap mode. ainsley: that is apple ceo tim cook sitting down with fox business networks susan li sound ing optimistic as the company works through conditions in china, and the coronavirus outbreak. steve: susan li joins us right now. you know, i don't think a lot of people, susan, had heard that the plants had closed because now they are reopened. susan: reopening slowly and also some of the stores 30 of the 42 stores they operate in

china have reopened, but apple is a special case, because not only do they build about 50% of their iphones in china, they get 20% of their sales in china. the average company, the u.s. company only gets around five to six to 7% of their sales so apple arguably is the most successful u.s. company ever been able to penetrate the chinese market. brian: when people think of this virus and they think of apple first but i didn't know it was 50% of the production and when he comes out and says we're getting back to normal that's a huge statement. >> susan: it is a huge statement and it should be huge but given the market sentiment we're looking at the worst week since 2008 and i asked them what about supply disruptions heading past june of this year, take a listen to what he said. do you anticipate this recognition as a last pass of the second quarter? >> well, second quarter is a quarter we're in just to declare with our investors is the march quarter. your calendar first quarter and

so i don't know the answer to that yet. we're still in february, and you know, there's reason for optimism, but we'll see. i think the focus in the last few days have turned off of china on to korea, and italy, and so i think it's very important to see what happens there and whether something newcombs out of that. >> susan: i didn't get a sense of panic from tim cook and he's seen this before and apple is a big heavyweight on the s&p 500 representing 5% of the index only five companies in history have had that type of influence but from my gauge of how he feels and they've been reducing their manufacturing in china, i don't get a sense of panic. i think he understands and the market understands that the demand is there. people will buy their iphones once the production is back up and running and the stores are open. steve: i was just going to say the reason the stock market has tanked, it's great to hear him say those things is just because

of uncertainty but he sounds pretty certain. >> susan: he's the architect of their fast moving low inventory supply chain, a lot has been reduced and when i pressed him on the supply chain and whether or not you'll move some of your manufacturing outside of china because this might be an inflection point with the coronavirus, he says first of all i want to highlight to everybody, we're an american company of course we still build a lot in america as well, including their glasses and other components that go into the iphone, you know, did he answer that question directly no, but will he probably think about it? a lot of ceo's are, i assume yes ainsley: i didn't realize i heard the southern accent in that interview. i didn't realize he was from alabama. >> susan: he's just from outside of the state and went to auburn and this is a homecoming of sorts for tim cook, the reception he got when we tracked him across birmingham was just a heroic homecoming and he's there to try to educate the underrepresented communities steve: he's got a program there. susan: he does called the education farm which is the

white house policy development force, that he's working on with ivanka trump and here is what he had to say about it. >> it makes my heart sing to just say it simplistic simplistically. there's so much that we can all do from an equality point of view, but one of the most important, maybe the most important is education, and so if we can bring coding in, if we can bring creativity skills, if we can bring the intersection of those two things together, people will have an incredible future, and that's what we're all about. >> susan: birmingham the first to get an education farm and pivotal in civil rights history via martin luther king of course it was very touching, and so they just wanted to make sure they are helping those under represented minorit ies across the entire state. brian: where did we get the full interview? >> susan: on fox business which you watch every day anyway so the first airing is at 12 p.m. with neil cavuto, and

then i'll be on with liz claman at 3:00 p.m. and we'll take you through different parts and we also asked about his relationship with president trump and especially as they seem so far apart on certain issues and he said yes there are differences but there's a lot to work together on as well. steve: i wonder what wall street is going to do when they hear wall street opens in an hour and six minutes it'll be interesting to see if they take his comments , tim apple's comments about we're already reopening factories in china. >> susan: demand is there. brian: that's huge, congratulations. great interview. meanwhile, we'll have to find out the whole interview, meanwhile, 24 minutes after the hour, the trump virus is the new headline of this op-ed. the media all is in on blaming the president for the coronavirus? really? is that fair? donald trump jr. sounds off, next. >> you're unbelievable ♪ - [spokeswoman] meet the ninja foodi pressure cooker,

in the palmetto state, with a big rally. ainsley: we are live in north charleston. hey, griff. griff: hey, ainsley, brian, steve. there is at least 1,000 maybe more people already turned out for trump's rally tonight at 7:00, and a lot of people also talking about their democrat race here, biden of course, widening that lead to two polls we've been showing all morning in one of them biden up by 16, the other biden leading by four, i've got kelly, trish, and ginger here with me. kelly let me ask you, it looks like it could be biden. maybe it's sanders, how do you think those two match up with trump in november? >> oh, they don't match up at all with trump in november. they may be doing a lead right now but they're not going to beat trump. griff: trish are you going to vote in the democrat primary? it's an open primary here. >> i'm thinking about it yes ment griff: who would you vote for? >> tulsi gabbard. griff: why? >> i think she's a smart woman and if somebody is going to beat my president it better be a

smart woman. griff: there you go so but first , ginger let me ask you quickly can any of these democrats defeat trump in november? >> no. trump by a landslide. griff: trump by a landslide? well that's what's happening here on the ground as people are getting ready for the president. it's interesting we've had fighter jets coming over. this is a flight path of the charleston airport where they think president trump will probably fly over on air force one. guys? brian: he's done it before, griff thank you. are you ever going home, griff? ainsley: bless your heart. griff: no! it's a campaign season we've never had an election like this. i'm going to head from here to another super tuesday state, but we won't tell you which one just yet. ainsley: okay. and griff do you know what it's called the palmetto state. griff: they're asking if i know why it's called the palmetto state. i think it's because there's a lot of palmetto trees? ainsley: that's right. griff: do you want to say hi to ainsley by the way? >> hi, lovely. griff: they really want you to

come instead of me. another guy asked me where pete was as well. so i'm chopped liver but you'll have to deal with me. ainsley: reporter: they all so nice? everyone is so friendly there. brian: i've got a feeling that could go on for a while. ainsley: we can talk. [laughter] it's the only thing i ever got in trouble for in school but now i tell my teachers i get paid to talk. so there. more than 83,000 cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed worldwide, but that's not stopping democrats, and the media, from placing blame of course on our president. steve: an op-ed in the new york times even referring to it in the headlines, let's call it trump virus, and then in the story and in the subhead is if you're feeling awful you know who to blame so why are they trying to politicize this global outbreak? here to react is the executive vice president of the trump organization, donald trump jr.. donald trump jr. , welcome back.

>> good to be back with you guys how you doing? we're going to have some fun today. brian: so you're used to the mueller investigation, the blow back about russia actually causing your dad to win the election and then we have the ukraine situation. so now, we're getting to sprint towards november to see if your dad can get four more years. are you surprised the way they've been handling the coronavirus situation, meaning democrats? >> not at all. like you said we've seen this play out for four years. anything that they can use to try to hurt trump, they will. anything he does in a positive sense like you heard from the reporter that was just suspended from abc, they will not give him credit for. the play book is old at this point, but for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here, and kills millions of people so that they could end donald trump's streak of winning is a new level of sickness.

i don't know if this is coronavirus or trump derangement syndrome, but these people are infected badly, to run that in the new york times this isn't one of these, you know, crazy left wing journalist s. this is a new york times writing this , with seriousness, and it's truly sick. now those same democrats, last week, when my father shut down travel to and from china, we're saying that it's an over reaction. it's a disaster. you're being xenophobic. now they're flipping that. they can have it both ways, because no one in the media will actually cover themselves honestly, and that's what's going on and i think the american people have seen it for what it is and it's an absolute travesty. steve: don jr. , that was democrats last week and this week we heard a lot of people talking like the speaker, nancy pelosi. here she is on the president and the stock market. >> i want to prevent without panicking people about this.

the president said something so strange that you'd really have to wonder. he said the reason the market dropped is because of the debate the other night. well the market had dropped 1,800 points before the debate, so let's not be silly about what that is. steve: okay what's she talking about? >> listen the reality is markets dropped because of uncertainty and when you see socialism, communism, plans where you have to pay for your healthcare, you have to pay for your education, but you also have to pay for illegal immigrants education, and everything like that, that kind of uncertainty also destabilizes markets. there's no question that the threat of coronavirus can destabilize the market but the fact that the democrats are seemingly hoping for this to happen, just like you've seen them over the last year, pray for a disaster to happen in the economy, meaning people lose their jobs, their mortgages, their livelihoods, so that they

can own trump somehow, is absolutely insane. the reality is that economically there's not a single metric where we are not better off today than we were under the obama administration and watching 50% of our u.s. government pray for that to collapse, pray for the destruction of those families and those jobs is truly a new low for democrats that have been exceeding lows in an unprecedented fashion over the last few years. ainsley: that crowd is going to go crazy behind you when they spot you in the audience when you're walking up on stage. what are you going to talk about today? >> honestly today i'm going to be on a panel with kevin mccarthy and josh holl y, talking about tech censorship, i was one of the original conservative blue check mark people to call bs on what they're doing whether it be in boxing with e-mails and guiding or google and those guys are guiding what people are, actually seeing versus what's being diverted into their junk mailbox, and certainly, obviously, the social media side where it seems that only conservatives are the ones that get demonetized, censored,

thrown off the platform, you saw it happen to pete hegseth on your very own show, so we're going to be talking about that, how it's not fair, how it's not free market, and how the democrats and their tech overlords have been really manipulating the playing field against conservatives and against free speech. brian: and by the way, we've watched don jr.'s speech and everything on fox nation, so you'll be streamed on the hottest platform in america, don so don't get nervous. >> i better not blow it then guys. no pressure on me, guys. ainsley: thanks so much don good to see you. speaking of congressman doug collins taking the stage and blasting democrats over phase a abuse. >> they don't want to have to admit that fisa was abused so what do they do? they do like everybody else in the democratic party, they stick their head in the sand. ainsley: judge jeanine pirro ready to sound off and she's going to join us, next >> ♪ ♪

ainsley: we're back with a fox news alert, 33 people testing positive for the coronavirus in california while more than 8,000 others are being monitored in

the state. brian: vice president mike pence assuring the american people the white house is working to keep americans safe. we want to push politics aside, just to make sure the cdc, all of our agencies have the support that they need, that states have the support, should this matter become more serious, but the presidents message is very clear. we're ready. steve: speaking of the president , there's a story out there now that the president , the administration may now use special war powers legislation to fast-track the production of face masks. the united states needs 300 million, but there's one report we only have about 12 million in stock, let's bring in judge jeanine pirro, host of justice with judge jeanine, author of radicals resistance and revenge. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: so what do you make of this story out there that apparently came up during an inner agency call between health and human services and homeland security. we don't have enough face masks maybe the president could order

big companies that make them to devote all their interest to making that, so that we would have enough. >> judge: well there's press department for that in the 1950s during the korean war they decided they were short of whatever it was they were short of but as you said we have 12 million masks, we need 300 million masks, and under this defense production act, apparently, the president can target certain manufactures, and say, you know, if you produce this , maybe you can prioritize the production of that, so for example, if you have 3m or some of these other companies making face masks, they make a painters face mask or just a cotton face mask and you can prioritize the n 95 mask which is the mask that we need for the coronavirus, so you know , there are things that are going on which is kind of interesting. there's now a bill before in the house by congressman by the

name of don brown, and that bill is one that provides for a targeted liability protection for pandemic and epidemic product and security counter measures so it appears that at the time that there may be the enforcement of this act, and we don't know whether it's going to happen it's just speculation now, that there are companies that are looking to make sure that they have liability protection, if and when they are forced to create these products, that are needed but the bigger issue was this. the issue is the supply chain. we rely in the united states too much on products that are created in other countries and isn't it, isn't it bitter sweet, or ironic, that if this thing started in china that we end up relying on china, for some of the products to make the mask, china then relies on india. it's about time we brought home this to america, where we are able to make as the president has always said is his priority,

products especially that involve our healthcare, whether it was, you know, the moll y 99 which i've talked about 100 times because i'm a breast cancer survivor, that we need to have this stuff and this medication, nuclear medicine along with this created in the u.s.. we shouldn't rely on other countries because in the end, when there's a pandemic, you can't count on them to help america. brian: these companies have to make their own decisions and you had stars in 2003 now this now and now the whole country catches the flu because the 85% of these cases are from china. so now, it might be a money decision that brings it back here but is the american consumer willing to pay a little bit more to have american-made? >> judge: i think there's no question the american consumer now understands this is a classic example, that effects everyone. there isn't anyone who isn't talking about the coronavirus. do i need to get the survival

freeze-dried food and fill my basement with water and get a mask what kind of mask and that's a problem. i'm talking about this on my show tomorrow might. brian: just don't flood your basement. >> judge: don't flood the basement, do you have have a sump pump but anyway, people on my show tomorrow night talk about what's an n 95 mask? what's an n 99 mask? they think that the mask is protecting them no it's not protecting you from them. it's protecting them from you! you don't spit on them when you talk to them. ainsley: judge what do you make about the media and democrats politicizing this? you have tom ste yer, the press release says trump katrina, the new york times saying this is a trump virus. >> judge: it makes it very clear that we are the most prepared country in the world for something like this. the president has brought out the a-team, he's got mike pence now and he's got, all you have to do is look at alex a zar, we

are ahead of the game, and we're ready to handle this. brian: 14 minutes now before the top of the hour so let's change gears a little bit. doug collins talking about fisa, and what's going to be renewed and what's not going to be renewed and how it was abused, watch. >> they went after canada trump but really and truly do you know what they were trying to stop is you. jerry nadler and the rest of the democrats don't want to have to admit these investigations occurred. they don't want to have to admit that fisa was abused but what do they do? they do like everybody i've seen in the democratic party lately. stick their head in the sand and only blame trump. we have to do something and the house needs to and the senate needs to take it up and we know that this will not happen again. brian: it needs to be destroyed or changed. >> judge: i'll tell you what i don't even know why we have a fisa court because if you look at the abuses, if you look at the horowitz report and you look at the fact that on this particular case, we know the last two warrants was no predicate, no probable cause and i suspect the first two as well,

you know, you've got all this circular reasoning where you've got one guy going to the press and then they use the press story as a basis to corroborate his allegation. this is unfair. it appears that the fisa court is being used more to monitor american citizens, or in this case, the president, or presidential campaign, than it is foreign terrorists, and if that's what they're doing the american people should stand up and say no but the problem is that we need this court in some cases. we've got terrorists, we're living in a dangerous world. steve: we've just never had transparency which is hard with this. >> judge: what we found out by horowitz is that you've got a lawyer in the department of justice whose actually changing or the fbi changing the truth and the facts. i mean, these people need to go to jail. ainsley: what's coming up on your show tomorrow? >> judge: we'll talk about the coronavirus, coming out of the carolina primaries, it's going to be a fast-moving show tomorrow night, peter navarro,
