>> the next live studio audience is friday, march 27. if you want to sign up go to "fox & friends".com. >> have a fantastic weekend. >> try to catch us on the radio on fox nation. >> sandra: fox news alert. dow futures are lower again after concerns about the coronavirus and its economic impact triggering the biggest one-day point drop in u.s. history. good morning. what a week. i'm sandra smith. >> ed: i'm ed henry. president trump insisting the u.s. is prepared as the infection continues to spread. now topping 83,000 cases all around the world. here at home california ground zero for the illness. the state monitoring more than 8,000 people. that's right, 8,000 people as officials investigate the first domestic case of unknown origin. >> we are not overreacting nor underreacting to the

understandable anxiety many people have as it relates to this novel virus. >> it is natural to feel concerned but i want people in california that we've planned for this public health event. our goal is to take every precaution to protect california's health and safety. >> it will disappear. like a miracle it will disappear. from our shores it could get worse before it gets better. maybe go away. we'll see what happens. >> ed: jonathan hunt is up early. the latest from los angeles. good morning, jonathan. >> good morning to both of you. two major developments here in california that make the state the center of focus for the fight to contain the virus. at uc davis medical center in sacramento doctors continue to treat the woman with coronavirus but no known recent travel to china and no known contact with anyone who had been there. questions also being raised

about why the woman wasn't tested sooner at the first hospital she went to. she apparently didn't meet the cdc's guidelines for testing. the guidelines have now been changed. the location of this unknown origin infection is interesting. she was admitted to a hospital a short distance from travis air force base where americans evacuated from china and diamond princess cruise ship landed when they were brought back to the u.s. a government whistleblower alleged that federal workers sent to meet those evacuees and others sent to deal with other evacuees did not have the necessary protective gear or training when they were deployed. the complaint alleges the health and human services workers were improperly deployed and were not properly trained or equipped to operate in a public health emergency

situation. hhs spokeswoman said in a statement we take all whistleblower complaints seriously and providing the complainant appropriate protections. officials said there is no connection between the evacuees who arrived at travis and the woman. but at the very least her case suggests it is spread within the community and it might mean carriers are out there unwittingly spreading the disease. >> ed: thank you for starting us off. >> sandra: mike pence defending the administration's response. >> the president directed me to reach out. i spoke to speaker pelosi. i spoke to senator schumer as well as the republican. they were good conversations. >> they were politicizing it

almost instantly. >> i know. but look the president said to me i want you the reach out to the republican and democrat leadership because we want to push politics aside. we want to make sure we get the resources that we need. >> sandra: let's bring in "new york post" columnist miranda devine. you heard from mike pence he had good conversations with democrats and the president is tweeting this. the coronavirus that started in china and it is slow in the u.s., being blamed by the do nothing democrats to be the fault of trump. mike pence said in the interview last night he is calling on both parties to set politics aside to deal with this. will it happen? >> that's why it was smart to appoint mike pence because he has that conciliatory tone and he also is a governor -- was a governor, very successful and

knows how to manage people. i think it's good to have him there as the sort of velvet glove to talk to the democrats who have been utterly reprehensible. you can't blame the president for tweeting that because he is right. he acted very quickly and i think it helps that we have a president who doesn't like germs. he did stop the flights. for the democrats to be blaming him for what? they're using it as an excuse for trump bashing and shows how irresponsible they are. mike pence is there and will try to pour oil on troubled waters and turned it into a bipartisan cooperation which is necessary. >> sandra: mike pence in that interview asked for politics to be set aside to deal with it and asking for both sides, republicans and democrats, to tone down the rhetoric when it comes to talking about this issue. you would not get that sense by listening to the candidates on

the campaign trail. here are several of them knocking the president for how he is dealing with this. >> his failure to prepare is crippling our ability to respond now that it's at our doorstep. people really are worried. >> it is particularly important at a time like this that the strategy of the united states government to keep us safe is guided above all by science and not by politics. >> i would not have proposed cutting the center for disease control which is president did. we are where we are right now and i think it is really important, one, to work with countries around the world. two, to support our health professionals. >> sandra: everybody has a different vision of how it should be dealt with. you hear it from both sides of the aisle. but pete buttigieg and some democrats deciding to take on mike pence over science, denial of signs. you hear the argument a lot. >> they're desperate and know that president trump, one of his greatest appeals in the

election is going to be the economy, coronavirus as we've seen has sent the stock markets tumbling. they see that as an opportunity and they're just being opportunists and irresponsible. they don't care if they worry the american people and make people think this disease is out of control. it is not. it is contained. >> sandra: there is still a lot we don't know about that and why we continue to talk to medical professionals as we go through it. at this point we just don't know what we don't know at this point. i want to take you to 2020. that's what you've been writing about. the latest fox news poll. this is a big deal. sanders is now come past joe biden polling 31% in the 2020 democratic nominee preference among primary voters. that's the first time he has passed joe biden in our fox news poll, miranda. >> it's interesting because the more that voters see joe biden

on the campaign trail, the less they like what they see. even though -- he just doesn't seem to be able to string a sentence together. i talked to voters who had gone in to see him with high hopes in these small town halls on the campaign trail and they came out disappointed and looking for someone else. joe biden was the great hope for the moderate democrats and that is fading the more they see him. now he comes -- sanders, you see that momentum he has had, those rallies, the young people, the energy that he has been generating on the campaign trail is now filtering through into the national polls. >> sandra: lots of wind at his back but lots of questions how to pay for so many of these policy proposals he has put on the table. the "new york post" editorial board takes it on this morning. bernie sanders magic math. he is trying to lay out how to pay for every one of the

programs. the numbers don't remotely add up or pass the test. >> that's the problem with bernie sanders. he promises the world and pretends he can do it by taxing the rich or wall street speculators and he can't. these are completely unfundable. there is not enough in the gdp to pay for it and yet he thinks he can squeak through without costing. look what happened to elizabeth warren when she tried to cost her healthcare plans. she plummeted. once the scrutiny is on bernie sanders, the gloss will come off. >> sandra: appreciate your time this morning from the "new york post." ed, the piece ends. why let a little thing like reality get in the way of victory? he is being pressed on the campaign trail how do you pay for it? >> he has done a lot of interviews where he said i don't know how much it costs. the democrats in the race are getting frustrated by that. you can bet if sanders is the nominee president trump won't let him get away with it.

meanwhile milwaukee authorities this morning now identifying five victims killed in that shooting rampage at one of the nation's largest breweries. what police are learning about the motive. >> sandra: dow futures. we're watching markets again this morning indicating a sharp sell-off on the opening bell after stocks suffered crushing losses for multiple days so far this week. what will happen this morning? we'll ask neil cavuto. he will join us live at 9:00 a.m. eastern time to discuss the fallout and what happens next with these turbulent markets and reaction to the coronavirus. butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> sandra: householding a briefing on the coronavirus as lawmakers consider multi-billion spending bill for resources to battle the outbreak. our next guest attended the briefing. doug collins is a candidate for the u.s. senate. good morning, congressman. what did you learn in that update? >> i learned that there is a lot of stuff going on. a lot of moving parts. the administration is moving forward with not only requesting funding, getting the proper procedures in place by tackling a viers. when we first reported out of china more of a pneumonia. not considered a virus. we're watching up and the world is looking at it.

many of thieves conditions they know what they're looking for. working to get testing kits. 40,000 tested at points of entry. we look to be assured the virus is being contained as best as possible and looking at the issues i know we discussed earlier about the one case there doesn't seem to be a connection. the emphasis now is for people to be cautious. if they have symptoms go to the doctor. they're getting new protocols so they know what to look for. that's the most important thing for the american people. take every proper precautions, use proper precautions for health but not panic. that's the biggest thing to look at. >> sandra: what we've seen play out in markets this week. so much uncertainty led to the continue sell-off we're seeing. looks like we're on pace for another 500 point drop on the opening bell this morning. how do you calm those fears? there are calls for unity from both sides of the aisle to tone down the rhetoric so we can

tackle this outbreak together. did you get a sense from that briefing a short time ago that republicans and democrats will work together on this? >> i believe we will. like everything else we'll try everything else and come together and do what's right in the end. the problem right now there is a lot of political contention. sniping at the president and the hill is contentious right now. there was a coming together to ask basic questions. how is the testing being done? working to make sure our workers in airports are protected? working to make sure the doctors have the information they need? when we start looking at that you'll see the resources come in a short time and see the protection. markets are reacting to something different, not necessarily the virus here but market conditions in places where supply chains are affected. you'll see that. it's not a surprise when you have tech companies and others who have supply chains in southeast asia, china and others, those will be affected. a short term effect.

if we get it under control you'll see it pick up. let's get a handle on what's actually happening. >> sandra: you have been an cpac talking about fisa. you were on the stage yesterday. fox news is reporting congress might try to attach the short term fisa renewal to coronavirus funding. what is the discussion there and was anything talked about in that briefing this morning on that? >> there is nothing on that part. i've heard rumors of that as well. i wouldn't recommend that. i think the fisa issue that needs to be separate and something that tore up capitol hill for a long time as we saw through the investigations and mueller and impeachment. those are the kind of things we need to deal with. we don't want it to happen to any president. i think the sham impeachment and everything we saw going through it showed that. that needs to be separate. my hope isn't that they would be put together and we'll get coronavirus virus where it needs to go and depoliticize and depoliticize the department of justice and fisa court and

working on real reforms there. >> sandra: thank you for giving us an update right out of that meeting. >> ed: the impact from the coronavirus spreading around the world. sporting events played in front of empty stadiums. business events being canceled around the globe. meanwhile at home the crisis centering on california as the vice president calls for calm. >> in the days ahead we'll make sure that the full resources of the federal government continue to be brought to bear in confronting the coronavirus here at home. - [narrator] meet the ninja foodi pressure cooker

>> the president's message is clear. we're ready for anything. we continue to prepare for whatever may come. if the president hadn't taken the unprecedented steps we

would be in a different place today. >> ed: vice president mike pence telling sean hannity the u.s. government is ready for anything. the vice president held his first meeting while assembling members of his brand-new task force. we're joined by the former director for intergovernmental and external affairs for the department of health and human services in the bush and trump administrations. jack, great to have you this morning. the vice president of the united states has taken charge now. he says we're ready for anything. is he right? what more do we need to be doing? >> first of all, we have never been better prepared. after 9/11 a whole slew of authorities that money has been appropriated the make the federal government stronger and states as well. in addition to that he is the perfect choice in that role. i understand the meeting yesterday at hhs went well. it is no surprise it was held there since secretary azar has been heading up the task force and speaking to governors. i believe he will be with the

governor of florida later today. >> ed: that's what the federal government is doing. we have a lot of information now at foxnews.com to prepare the public what you can be doing in your community and individual home. what is your advice as a former insider who knows this well? if you are a person watching this morning what do you think you should be doing for your family? >> what we're telling companies, telling employers really first stick with what the cdc is saying. you want to go with trusted sources. there is unfortunately too much misinformation and there is some panic that is going on that is unwarranted. it is important if you're an employer to have a plan. if you don't have a plan, then create one. dust it off, exercise it. communicate with your employees and make sure that you are guiding people to official government sources. i think the same information that you've been getting from the doctors are absolutely right in terms of how people should prepare themselves. when they're in public take the same kind of precautions you would take regularly during flu

season. >> ed: what about food in your home? the possibility of being self-quarantined for a week or two and address the issue of schools. what will they do for childcare if some schools have to shut down temporarily? >> i don't think we're there yet. according to the experts in terms of folks having to worry about food. states should do what we were preaching back in the bush administration under secretary leavitt's leadership. states and communities looking at school closure plans. making sure they have oh plan. we're far from what the experts say, we're far from the point where any of that needs to be seriously considered. >> ed: i want to get to the "new york times." they had an article on questions of testing. coronavirus diagnosis in california highlights testing flaws, doctors suspected infection with the virus but the patient didn't fit the federal criteria and wasn't tested for days. what's the issue there and can it be corrected?

>> there has been a lot of reporting on testing. the good news is that i understand that by this weekend 93 tests -- labs across the country are going to be gaining new tests. the federal government has fast tracked testing. it was done from the beginning. they just went ahead and did that again. there is no backlog at the cdc. i think that things will only get better with tension. >> ed: got it. under 30 seconds, jack. some viewers have contacted me wondering what experts are saying if you were to get coronavirus and survive, is it done or could it come back? do we know the answer to that question? >> i'm not a doctor so i don't want to get out of my lane. i just believe that folks should listen to what their doctors and what the cdc is telling them. >> ed: we appreciate your insight this morning. thank you for coming in. >> thank you, ed. >> sandra: we're moments away from the opening bell on wall street after a turbulent week for stocks. global markets falling

overnight. what will the impact be on u.s. markets when they open four minutes from now? neil cavuto will join us live next. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise.

you've been hearing a lot about 5g. but there's 5g... and then there's verizon 5g. we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's more than 10 times faster than some other 5g networks. and it's rolling out in cities across the country. so people can experience speeds that ultra wideband can deliver. 1.7 gigs here in houston. 1.8 gigs here in frigid omaha. almost 2 gigs here in los angeles.

that's outrageous. it's like an eight-lane highway compared to a two-land dirt road. >> sandra: we're about 30 seconds away from trading on wall street. the opening bell will be ringing in moments. a turbulent week for markets. the dow futures are indicating a nearly 600 point sell-off on the opening bell. we're watching for that. meanwhile to put this sell-off

this week in context the dow and the s&p 500 have fallen seven consecutive days. the longest losing streak for the u.s. stock market in three years. there is growing concerns about the spread of the coronavirus that's weighing on stocks this morning. what happens next? >> ed: more on this let's bring in neil cavuto from the fox business network and fox news channel. you have been all over this for a long time. 800 points down at the open here. we're now in correction -- officially correction. what is the significance of that first big picture? >> we were chatting during the break. corrections happen. i've never seen them happen this fast. they're dropping 10% from highs reached a week ago. we've never seen it like that. it's the global nature where european markets in corrective

territory as well. we've gotten close to a bear market. december 2019 we got down and came back. it's the speed of it is unnerving. >> ed: now because of this the gains from this year have been wiped out. >> they're all gone but you mentioned a good point. you have a bigger perspective and look back. the trend is your friend. we get companies whose earnings are solid. what the worry is they can't be as solid because a lot of the revenue they depend on from china and some of these other local. don't go to malls and sporting events. it tends to put off the bang for a buck like a natural disaster. >> ed: we asked an expert about that with schools. if you have to shut down some schools it is not just the kids

being home. the parents have to be home. maybe they don't go to work. >> absolutely. >> ed: the economy has impacts. the president for the last couple of days having various events trying to calm the markets. nancy pelosi and other democrats weighing in as well. here is the speaker. >> we don't like seeing the market drop, that's for sure. we hope that this will have a turnaround but it cannot upset how we address the issue. our issue is public health. our issue is prevention. and we would hope that that would not lower the market but raise the market because we want to show that decisions have been made to put this in good hands now. >> ed: when politicians started getting involved they can calm it but they can make it worse. democrats blaming this on the president saying he hasn't been prepared not just on the hill. michael bloomberg, you add the mix of 2020. what can that do to the markets?

>> i don't think it reassures people. the constant fighting and finger pointing makes people at home say look, teenage sons, both of you stop it. and let's get to -- who plowed the car through the garage. i think we need one single voice. one of my guests had a knack for shutting people down and avoiding the bickering and arguments. he talked about wall street's reaction, put your big boy pants on and quit whining and being babies. he was saying everyone has to calm down and look at surrounding environment. this country economically is sound. our system is the envy of the world still. but it was a rich market. they might be using this as an excuse to pounce but it is what it is. >> ed: this morning our

colleague maria bartiromo interviewed someone about if there was an imminent rate cut he suggested no imminent rate cut. that may have added to the dip we're seeing now. >> that and others saying the same think, a voting member of the federal reserve. his were more couched. if you expect a rate cut, just cool it. what is interesting, ed, you could trade based on the expectations of a rate cut by investing in fund futures. the people who bet with their money are saying 100% the fed will cut rates next month. it might be premature but that's the market's way of saying we heard both of you guys, we don't believe you. >> ed: the last five days when you look at the big picture, the graph is stunning. today and you look at the last week. that dip significant but if you are a long-term investor there have to be opportunities throughout and once this calms

down there are buy opportunities for sure. >> i know you and sandra probably have gotten sick of my saying this. i keep a dow in my office from the beginning of the last century when i first started reporting. the closer you get to that chart, ed, you see the jagged crises, world wars, depressions, recessions, oil crises, watergate, presidential assassination, 9/11 and gut wrenching as far as the reaction, when you step further back all you see is a chart that goes up, up and i'm not saying it to be a cheerleader but to say that the trend is always your friend with stocks. the older i get, longer term to me is lunch tomorrow. but i will say for a lot of people looking at it, you have to just step back and calm down. you have to look at your time and what you invested and do you believe what you invested in. are they solid companies and bet the future on?

if you feel that way, stay with what you've got. >> ed: we appreciate your insight as always. >> sandra: good stuff. thank you. as the coronavirus spreads around the world major public events like sporting games and concerts are seeing low attendance or get canceled all together. australia's prime minister talking about a pandemic is likely. >> who has yet to declare the nature of the coronavirus and its move towards a pandemic phase. we believe that the risk of a global pandemic is very much upon us and as a result as a government we need to take the steps necessary to prepare for such a pandemic. >> sandra: benjamin hall is live in london on all of that this morning. >> it is becoming ever more difficult to keep up with the new cases around the world. the new countries that are being infected. 53 countries is the number that

now have seen this virus. that is six more than just 24 hours ago. major events have been canceled across the globe as have many flights. the venice carnival, pilgrimage to saudi arabia, the geneva motor show. swiss governments have announced a ban on all events involving more than 1,000 people. all japanese schools are closed until the end of the term and japan's baseball league will play its remaining 72 games in empty stadiums and other events have been canceled. the head of the tokyo summer olympics for now they're going ahead. a few notable figures overnight and the dramatic rise. south korea now has over 2300 confirmed cases, a 32% increase in the last day alone. iran 338, 33% increase. germany 152% increase yesterday. spain, ua, sweden all seeing

huge rises. countries having to take a variety of actions to curb the spread. some are quar an taoeng people coming from infected areas, singapore is prosecuting a couple who lied about movements to china and south korea strengthened punishment for anyone who violates the self-isolation rules. other countries are disinfecting other areas. russia is exterminateing rats. in china they are banned eating cats and dogs and the president of mongolia is in self-isolation. while the vice president of iran has coronavirus. it is spreading and seems it doesn't respect borders and fears it will get worse before it will get better. >> sandra: thank you, again ja min. >> ed: i'm a basketball fan. the red sox have a young prospect who is from taiwan. they have had to quarantine him

because he traveled to spring training. this is impacting all kinds of things. olympics. you can't turn it on a dime with the infrastructure. -- >> sandra: neil cavuto gave us perspective about the markets. they are jittery. just two weeks ago the dow was at a record high. how far and how fast it has come down. more on that coming up. >> ed: meantime a family returning home after being quarantined for the coronavirus. we checked in with the father and daughter. we first spoke to them two weeks ago what it was like and how they're doing now. >> sandra: and speaker nancy pelosi preaching party unity pushing back on concerns that a bernie sanders nomination would divide the democratic party and mike bloomberg disagrees.

>> i believe if bernie sanders gets the nomination. he will lose to nomination, make sure the senate stays in republican hands. will flip the house back to the republicans and even down ballot he will hurt the democrats. these are our sales... by product, by region. you can actually see taste- trends. since when can we do that? since we started working with bdo.

are not getting -- we are all unified. whoever the nominee is of our party we will wholeheartedly support our gospel is one of unity, unity, unity. >> sandra: speaker nancy pelosi there pushing back against claims the democratic primaries are dividing her party insisting democrats will rally around their nominee whoever it is. here to talk about it is communications director for the democrats xochitl hinojsa. will your party rally around whoever the nominee is? >> yes. i think everyone understands how dangerous donald trump is. whoever the nominee is they'll rally around them. i was with a bunch of the members from the house democratic caucus yesterday. we need to beat donald trump is what i heard from everybody. regardless of who that is we'll support them. i feel confident going in and after this primary that we will be in a good position.

fox had a poll that just came out yesterday that actually showed the top six polling candidates pulling ahead of donald trump in a head-to-head. i feel good right now. i think we're in the middle of a primary. a lot of things being said. at the end of the day we will rally against donald trump. >> sandra: i hear that from you. let's throw up the poll. fox news polling first on the democratic nominees. that does now show bernie sanders is the top choice polling 31%, up 8 points since january, passing joe biden for the first time in our fox news poll. joe biden then falls to 18%. what is your reaction to that? >> you know what? polls will fluctuate. i don't know who the democratic nominee is. we're after this saturday we'll have 5% of the delegates allocated. after tuesday, a huge day for our party, you will be at 40% of delegates allocated. by the end of april 90% of the

delegates allocated. at about that time we'll see where this race is going and see who is going into milwaukee as our democratic nominee and i have no doubt whoever it is can beat donald trump. >> sandra: the new york time sees things differently than nancy pelosi and even you are stating now. the headline. pelosi seeks to find off angst over sanders. in this piece it says she is urging democrats behind closed doors to keep your eye on the ball. "new york times" writes she is playing the dual role of den mother and general trying to calm members' fears and keep them focused winning their own races staying neutral in the presidential contest. >> yeah. >> sandra: what is going on behind closed doors? >> in 2016 you had a republican party. i went back to look at headlines then. you had a republican party that looked very similar. the difference between 2016 and republicans and 2020 and democrats today is that we have

donald trump as our threat. in 2016 republicans were scared about donald trump. in 2020 right now yes, we might be in a contested primary, we might not know who will end up on top at the end of the day. the reality is that democrats are terrified of donald trump and want to beat him because four more years of donald trump is terrifying for all americans. and so regardless of who our nominee is, i believe we will come out on top. >> sandra: who has the best shot at beating him? >> all of our candidates do. look at your poll. the top six polling people in a head-to-head against donald trump beat him. if you are looking at polls in battleground states. >> sandra: we have that for you. joe biden says would beat donald trump in a general election match up 49 -- but he ties with bernie sanders there. >> look at those numbers. that's about an eight to seven polling difference. if you go back and look at some of these battleground states as well where this race will be in the general election, donald

trump is under water and he is under water because the number one issue we're hearing about is healthcare. they believe that republicans will take away your healthcare and that is why the democratic party right now is having a very important conversation about how we are going to expand access. >> sandra: promising healthcare for all and doesn't know how to pay for it saying taxes will go up. i want to just go back to the sound we heard from mike bloomberg as we were leading into you before the commercial break there. he says if bernie sanders is the nominee trump will win, senate will remain republican and the house will flip and down ballot candidates are in trouble. >> i disagree. i want to point you to polling that shows donald trump underwater. i have to disagree with mike bloomberg on that. i think any of our candidates running for president at the end of the day while we're in the middle of a primary and a lot of things might be said at the end of the day they'll

support our democratic nominee. i'm very confident of that. >> ed: on the other side conservatives gathering for the annual convention known as cpac. they're setting the 2020 agenda ahead of the elections. more from the site of this year's cpac is coming up. a look at north charleston, south carolina, crowds already gathering for president trump's rally. can he steal some of the spotlight from the democrats ahead of tomorrow's big primary? we have that coming up. people, our sales now apply to only 10 frames. a new low! at visionworks, our sales are good on all of our frames. why are you so weird? use your tax return and get 50% off any pair. visionworks. see the difference.

grand now we have to deal withed us this.rs. climate change is an emergency. that's why i wrote the nation's most progressive climate law. and that's why i'm endorsing tom steyer. because when big oil tried to stop our clean air laws, he led us to victory. same with the keystone pipeline. when tom says we can save the world and do it together believe him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message.

>> sandra: milwaukee police identifying the victims killed in a shooting rampage.

more information about the gunman also. >> we identified the suspect. he is anthony ferrill. he was a current employee of molson coors at the time of this incident. reasons for this are still under investigation of what transpired and we don't have that for you. >> sandra: a local paper reporting the suspect had a long-running feud with another co-worker. the ceo saying the brewery will remain closed for an extended period ever time. >> ed: day three of cpac 2020 going on in maryland. conservatives setting their 2020 agenda as the race for the white house kicks into high gear. doug mcelway is live from there. the president will be speaking tomorrow and lots of speakers today.

>> the culmination of cpac everyyear is saturday with the straw poll. no drama in that this year. we all know who the preferred candidate for president of the united states is this year in cpac, it is president donald trump. the real drama here at cpac this year is the likely opponent of president trump talking about bernie sanders and his socialist agenda. from day one a steady stream of attack, attack, attack. a little montage for you. >> bernie sanders the other night when he is talking about cuba, the warm soviet union, when he is talking about cuba he is talking about how wonderful their education system is. now what do we have to brag about? the fact that those that live in cuba can experience oppression and spell it, too? come on, you know, it is just ridiculous. >> i have two words for you. socialism sucks. do not give your country over to these people.

>> it's not just bernie sanders the subject of these kinds of attacks. he hasn't sealed the nomination. joe biden potentially coming on strong again in south carolina if the polls are proved correct there. the entire target of this convention has been the entire democratic field. here is the vice president. >> every one of the other democrats running for president embraces bernie's socialist agenda. whether they call it medicare for all or the green new deal. democrats have been overtaken by a leftist ideology. >> the coronavirus has been a sub text of cpac. this morning mick mulvaney noted weeks ago when the administration opposed travel restrictions from china, few in the media covered it. when the press got around to covering the travel restrictions many called it racist. opponents now accuse the administration of not doing enough to combat the virus.

mike pompeo facing the same criticism. he will speak to the convention at 12:15 and watch what he has to say about the coronavirus. >> ed: doug mcelway, thank you for the run down. >> sandra: a whistle blower making stunning allegations how the coronavirus outbreak was handled by officials early on. rick scott will weigh in on that next. >> ed: bernie sanders pulling no punches saying joe biden would be a weak opponent against the president. >> i've known joe for many years. he is a decent guy but i don't believe that joe can beat trump. . but now quickbooks helps me get paid, manage cash flow, and run payroll. and now i'm back on top... with koala kai.

>> sandra: fox news alert. northern california the center of an urgent coronavirus investigation at this time. new details emerging about the first case in america with no clear link to a possible source. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm sandra smith. >> ed: week almost over. i'm ed henry. 8,000 people in california being watched closely for symptoms of coronavirus as investigators try to track down the movements of a woman who mysteriously cause it without going to china or not knowing anyone who did. the woman hospitalized in serious condition. the governor calling it critical.

>> you don't know what you don't know unless you are testing. so this point cannot be emphasized enough. we should have caregivers, doctors, have the capacity on demand to advance these testing protocols. >> sandra: we have complete coverage for you. florida senator rick scott is standing by on capitol hill. we'll get to him in a moment. we begin with claudia cowan live in sacramento. >> this patient represents a turning point in the spread of this disease. now the race is on to figure out how and where she contracted the virus and locate everyone who may have had contact with her before and after she got sick nearly two weeks ago. california governor gavin newsom says help is on the way. >> cdc will send 10 personnel into the state of california to help assist in the efforts to broaden our capacity to track

each one of those individuals and to make sure they're contacted and make sure they're interviewed. >> at the same time health officials are defending how long it took to test this woman for the coronavirus. it was many days before she was even though she went to her local hospital with flu-like symptoms back on february 15th and her doctors wanted her to be screened then but according to the centers for disease control there was no reason to believe she was infected because she didn't travel out of the country or have contact with anyone who did. that includes dozens of american evacuees from asia who tested positive or who remain under quarantine at nearby travis air force base. cdc expanding criteria for who should be screened adding no matter how this woman got it the disease is going to spread and communities need to be prepared. this patient remains in isolation here at the uc davis medical center. her family is under a 14-day quarantine, co-workers we

understand have been alerted and dozens of staff at two hospitals who had contact with this patient are being closely monitored. ed and sandra, back to you. >> ed: you see the dow has dipped more than 1,000 points again. the coronavirus outbreak sparking a whistle blower complaint as well. >> sandra: claiming the health and human services sent people without protective gear. the department responding back say we talk all complaints seriously and providing the complainant all appropriate protections under the whistleblower protection act. we're looking into the complaint. rick scott is our headliner and joins us to react to all of that and what we're learning. senator, good morning. >> good morning. you hope that patient in california gets well. it always scares you. i went with this through zika

in florida. you want to get as much information out to the public as you can. it is frustrating that china hasn't been very transparent. the south korea information, they will be more transparent so we'll learn a lot about incubation period and infection rate as we follow what's going on in south korea. i'm glad president trump appointed vice president pence. i asked them to do a point person so we just got now to do everything we can to keep people informed. >> sandra: senator, if i could get you to respond to what we're watching in the lower part of the screen. the dow jones industrial average. a snapshot of our markets. s&p 500, nasdaq are plunging this week responding to growing fears over the spread of this virus. obviously there is speculation it could get worse. some say like the president it could miraculously disappear. everyone is trying to assess the risk here at home and around the world. the dow before today fell 10.5%

down another 4% this morning. how do we assess those risks? >> well, the problem is that because china is not transparent it is hard. i think you have to -- don't be overconfident. prepare for the worst and hope for the best and that's why i've talked to all the federal agencies, fda saying you have to be very clear what shortages of drugs or medical devices we'll have. homeland security has to say what sort of things that consumers want, will we have a shortage, how to solve that? the cdc needs to puts up a 24/7 hotline to get information out to people so they can make way better informed decisions. there is no -- we're not dealing with rumors. so i think all this we have to keep people informed. we'll get better information as we follow what happens in south korea, i believe. >> ed: that's what you want the federal government to do. you are a former governor and

your lessons with zika, what do you want our viewers to know not just in florida around the country on what they can be doing as well? >> get informed. you need to understand exactly what's going on. follow what the federal government is putting out. the federal government, i want the cdc to do a 24/7 hotline. the federal government needs to be doing constant updates what they know and if they don't know something be very clear. don't be overconfident but tell people exactly what's going on. americans are smart. they'll make good informed decisions. i'm getting phone calls. there are lots of rumors from family, friends, citizens of my state and i want the federal government to put out more information. i've asked them to do it and believe they are going to do it. vice president pence is a good pick. >> sandra: what do you think of the calls for more funding and more resources to be thrown at this? >> i think we have to do that. who knows what the right number is right now? it shouldn't be a fight about it. we ought to put up money and be

very comfortable that we'll do supplemental whatever number we give. if it's not enough let's be ready to do more. i think the way the president asked for through hhs where they could allocate it i think is really smart. that's the right way of doing it. let's stay ahead of this. and make sure we keep the public informed and we have to keep everybody safe. i hope the lady in california has a full recovery. >> ed: absolutely, sir. it is happening in a broader context. we have a presidential campaign, almost in full swing. south carolina primary coming saturday. super tuesday quickly after that. the president has been frustrated at democrats where you are in the capitol attacking him and turning this political. your thoughts on that. >> this is not political. we hope everyboefd is safe. we hope the federal government does their job. this isn't about politics and they shouldn't -- politics shouldn't be part of this.

i represent everybody in my state. i want everybody in my state to be safe and so i hope it doesn't come into everybody complaining about each other. this is about keeping people healthy. >> ed: that campaign i mentioned obviously bernie sanders comments now the frontrunner for the democrats as you know. he has been defending his previous comments about fidel castro and literacy helping people read and write in cuba. here he is in the debate. i want you to react. >> what i said is what barack obama said in terms of cuba. that cuba made progress on education. yet i think -- really? really? what barack obama said is they made great progress on education and healthcare. that was barack obama. >> your colleague putting out this statement yesterday. in contrast with the false,

irresponsible and hurtful comments of the castro regime apologist he has a resolution for people in cuba as they struggle against tow tall aryanism. he wants an up or down vote if members of congress agree with what bernie sanders? >> you can kiss florida goodbye. you have these democrats who will go out when it's easy to say they are against the castro regime when there is a vote like some, when there was a vote required they didn't show up. so it's convenient sometimes to say you care about liberty and freedom but then when you have to take an action these democrats aren't even around. bernie sanders is the only democrat being honest. he says what he believes. the others are all socialists, they just aren't saying it.

>> sandra: he is saying a lot of the programs would be free but ultimately somebody has to pay for it. >> let's go back to cuba for a second. castro has firing squads. here is a lady i gave a freedom award to. she got her hand chopped off by the castro regime. she complained that they would close a school in her community and got her hand chopped off. bernie sanders is supporting this? this is crazy. >> sandra: we talked to the dnc last hour. they'll rally around whoever becomes the nominee. rick scott, appreciate your time this morning. >> nice seeing you. >> this nation isn't looking for a revolution, it is looking for results. it is looking for results. to improve people's lives. they spent $125,000 putting up -- lies from keeping from me

getting the nomination. if i get the nomination i'll beat him like a drum. >> sandra: making his pitch to voters in south carolina. he is facing a must-win scenario in tomorrow's primary. new fox news poll shows bernie sanders overtaking him nationally for the very first time. ellison barber is live in sumster, south carolina with more on all that. >> former vice president joe biden vowed at the last democratic debate to win the state of south carolina and the african-american vote. he is in a good position to do it. this state is critical for biden. it has been called his firewall, the diving board to catapult him into super tuesday to win the nomination. but the current frontrunner senator bernie sanders isn't going down without a fight. he knocked the former vice president out of first place for the first time in a fox national poll. sanders is leading nationally ahead of biden by 13 points.

but in south carolina, biden is maintaining his lead and some polls his lead is growing in a big way. the latest monmouth university poll has biden 20% ahead of sanders, tom steyer in third with 15% support from likely south carolina democratic primary voters. 15% of respondents say they're figuring out who to vote for. since the debate in charleston biden and sanders have gone after each other's records. when i talk to democratic primary voerts it doesn't matter what state we're in they say electability and beating president trump is one of their biggest concerns. candidates have heard that, too. bernie sanders is trying to convince voters if you look to the past there is no way joe biden can garner the trust, broad support, enthusiasm necessary to create a winning coalition. joe biden seems to be questioning sanders' loyalty to the democratic party or president obama trying to

convince voters there is no way sanders can beat president trump with polarizing policies like medicare for all. >> i don't believe that he can beat trump when people learn that he has been on the floor of the house in years past talking about the need to cut social security, medicare and medicaid. >> the one reason i resent bernie, though, he wanted to primary barack in 2012. said he should -- i disagree with that. >> president trump has a rally tonight in north charleston, south carolina that starts around 7:00 p.m. former vice president joe biden is set to speak inside this building here at a community event any minute now. ed and sandra. >> sandra: thank you. >> ed: stocks continuing to plunge this morning as coronavirus fears put the market on track for its worst week since the 2008 financial

crisis? is there any relief in sight? >> sandra: as the illness spreads, one man's journey on the road back to recovery. what it was like living under quarantine. we'll have that for you next. tee verification, no appraisal and nothing out of pocket.

>> sandra: keeping our eyes on the markets this morning. another 3% sell-off. right now the dow is off 771 points. it entered into correction territory. wiped out the gains for the year amid concerns over the growing coronavirus worldwide. there are concerns about what that will do to corporate profits. supply chain management has been a concern. some markets still reeling from those worries. dow off nearly 800 points. was down more than 1,000 points. >> ed: better than a short time ago. meantime health officials in several states keeping a close eye placing anyone who may have come into contact with coronavirus under quarantine to try to contain the spread. what is it like living under such restrictions? joining us now frank wucinski. he has his 3-year-old daughter. they were recently under quarantine in southern california and we're happy to report this morning, welcome, frank, that you are now obviously out of quarantine. how are you and your daughter

feeling? >> physically we're great. it is good to be with family. it's nice to be out of quarantine. >> sandra: hi, frank. annabelle, can she hear us? >> no. >> sandra: has she gone back to school yet? >> we're looking into options. preschool or daycare is looking pretty expensive. >> ed: last time we talked to you because you were in a san diego hospital. you had gotten the all clear, a test they wanted to make sure your daughter had a cough and you were in a san diego hospital. we can let her talk. good she is feeling well. talk about the process. you hear a lot about the fears and no doubt you must have had some fear. you lost your father-in-law, as i recall, in china and we certainly grieve for you and

hope your family is doing okay. go through the process. this sounds like some good news because your family is doing better. >> when we first arrived in california, they immediately separated us and put us in isolation for three or four days because of our contact with my father-in-law. then a few days later annabelle coughed in front of staff. they suggested we go to the medical tent. the medical tent contacted the cdc and they said that we should go back to isolation at the children's hospital. we stayed there for three days. >> sandra: she seems like she is in great spirits. >> yeah. all the tests came back negative. i think it was -- she was running around.

she coughed and they moved us. >> ed: kids go through these kinds of things all the time. the common flu is out there. you have to be very careful. what did the doctors tell you for yourself, your daughter, your entire family moving forward and how to make sure you keep an eye on all of this? >> well, we're meant to go for follow-up checkups at the hospital or with a doctor. so we're looking into trying to get some insurance because my insurance for work, for my job doesn't work in america. so we're applying. hopefully we'll get something. other than that, just keeping an eye on her temperature and my temperature. taking readings every day. but that's basically about it. >> sandra: frank, what do you think when you see everything happening now with the news and

the growing concerns over the spread of the virus or lack of knowing exactly how this is spreading with the new case that person didn't have any connections with traveling to china. there is obviously a lot of room for speculation over what's going on now and a lot of fears. >> yeah. i know just from my experience in wuhan when it all first started it was scary. you didn't know what was happening and going on. i think as time goes forward, hopefully doctors and scientists will get a better handle on the whole situation. fortunately from what i understand, you know, it is contagious but the death rate is pretty low. so i understand the fear. >> ed: we can see you have a cough. what do the doctors say about your condition as we wrap this

up? >> excuse me. they said i'm fine. i got tested twice. negative both times. the cough probably just nerves. >> sandra: fair enough. >> ed: frank and annabelle we're happy to see you are both doing well and in good spirits. give your daughter our best. she can't hear us directly. wonderful to check in with your family. >> sandra: thank you. >> can i just add i started a gofundme page to help pay for some of the medical bills? >> they can find it through your name. it's on the screen. >> sandra: our best and your family, frank, thank you. >> thank you very much. >> sandra: democrats wasting no time criticizing president trump's response to the coronavirus outbreak. are they playing politics with

a health emergency? >> ed: that's a big controversy. bernie sanders has momentum going into super tuesday. it is giving some establishment democrats some jitters. will they try to stop him from getting the nomination? >> when the establishment sees turn-outs like this, you are making them very knorr vows. -- nervous. and when they see us winning in iowa, new hampshire, nevada, they get even more nervous. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.

coronavirus outbreak. the president firing back accusing party leaders of playing politics with a health crisis. >> sandra: the a.p. fact check accuses some democrats of distorting the country's readiness for the outbreak. let's bring in the a-team as we wrap a busy week. marie harf, fox news contributor, good morning. ed rollins is here, former campaign manager for the reagan/bush ticket and cheryl casone co-host at fbn. >> every is political now. 250 days to go and every thing will be political. this is a time we need bipartisan support of this issue. we have great professionals in the government and around the government and what the president is trying to do is bring them together and move forward. my issue is taking a guy like mike pence and slaughtering him like they did yesterday. he was a governor. number three guy in the house, a wonderful man bringing people

together and biden, who claims he did everything during the obama days-did this no one would care. donald trump and mike pence are targets and it is ridiculous. >> he asked for 2 1/2 billions and they said he didn't ask for enough. no way this president would have won on this. there are mechanisms in place in the u.s. government. to deal with health crises such as this. we have to rely and depend on and trust officials especially health and human services to handle the crisis. it is silly to me. >> ed: marie, digest what sanders teed up the a.p. fact check that democratic presidential contenders were describing the federal disease bureaucracies ill prepared because of budget cast and ham handed leadership by president

trump. that's a distorted picture. for starters, trump hasn't succeeded in cutting the budget. >> he tried to. >> ed: you can't go out there and say he has cut the budget. >> what democrats and i are concerned about are a couple of things. some of his comments during the press conference. i wish the press conference would have been the experts and doctors and not the president throwing political jabs at president and distorting the things. i want just the facts. i don't want spin from either side. that actually press conference is part of the reason democrats are like this is not a political game. why didn't we hear from the cdc? all these press reports now the cdc is actually saying something different than president trump is saying. that's who we should be hearing from. >> you have been in the situation at the podium and x person said this bad thing about. the reporters a couple of nights of ago were saying nancy pelosi is saying you are

incompetent. he fired back and he said i wish we would stop this. i want to work with everybody to focus on the health and safety of americans. he said that at the podium. >> saying it is one thing. letting your experts speak out is something different. president a rosie picture and cdc is saying something different. democrats and all americans should say focused on the facts and demand we hear from the experts. not hear from mike pence some people may like him as a leader. there were problems with his time as governor when it came to public health. he is not a doctor. >> sandra: we need both parties together. >> the bottom line and reality is you need a coordinated message and the idea that all mike pence is going to do. you don't have a larry kudlow commenting on healthcare. you need to have the doctors and say this is our message. and i think key thing it is not

just the message. what are the facts? that will be -- a lot of people are frightened by this. whether they should be or not we'll know further as time goes on. right now we have a calm government and do everything we can. >> sandra: you've been matching markets all morning. dow down 930 points. a heck of a week. >> we don't like uncertainty with trading. there are a few things going on. not just the coronavirus. sandra, you know a little bit electronic trade story going on as well. options traders. volatility begets volatility. you start to hit the sell button. wall street funds in new york that have to hit the sell button. different topic. the coronavirus is a big concern. apple told us it will hit their profits. microsoft told us it would be a sale problem. supply chains in china shut down. this is a president trump problem because he loves to run

on the markets and success of the markets. this is a problem for the president as you see the coronavirus take hold of the country and the markets. it's unfortunate but that's where we're at now. >> ed: 24 hours or so from getting closer to getting the results from south carolina. people will be voting in the primary and super tuesday quickly after that. bernie sanders yesterday at a rally in south carolina taking it to joe biden. let's listen. >> i don't believe that joe can beat trump when people understand he voted for nafta and the things with china. terrible trade agreements which cost us millions of jobs. >> ed: going after joe biden who still leads in south carolina. marie "the new york times" had the big story. democratic leaders willing to risk party damage to stop bernie sanders. interviews with dozens of democratic party officials found overwhelming opposition to handing mr. sanders the nomination.

if he falls short of a majority of delegates. civil war coming? >> i wouldn't use that term. every time the establishment in either party tries to hurt someone who may be a frontrunner. we saw it in 16 with donald trump it usually ends up backfiring. i have think there are a lot of democrats who believe if bernie sanders fall shorts of the number of delegates he needs for the nomination there are rules in place for a reason. why would we bend the rules for him? we've already bent the rules enough for him this cycle going back to 2016. a debate people will be having. i don't know why if he is short that we as democrats would do that but his supporters will be very fired up if that happens. >> ed: it was saying bill clinton is on the phone with pals saying it will be a bloodbath. i keep hearing from some folks in the political world they think it will be 84 reagan/mondale. 49 states for trump. you were there -- >> i ran that campaign.

>> it won't be that kind of slaughter. trump has a chance of winning. a very polarized electorate and very close. the 30 states and maybe one or two others are in play. the problem you can't get reagan, -- you can't get california or new york. tuesday will decide whether joe biden stays in the race or not. if he loses that and the reality is super tuesday is such a massive -- it's 14 primaries. seven of them are bigger delegates than basically super tuesday. north carolina has twice as many delegates as super tuesday. >> you have mike bloomberg -- >> no one has had the ability to spend the money. he gets in trouble with women. they go out and tell a story. he can spend a billion and a half dollars and it's massive. those are the potential and i think reality is we don't know

who will win. if you basically -- the party is a party you'll be in trouble. >> ed: your mic is still on. >> i didn't know you spoke french. >> sandra: fox news polling throw it up on the screen. this is the question was will trump be reelected in 2020? the number who say yes is growing. now at 56%. those who say no has gone down to 34%. unsure stayed the same from october 2019 at 10%. i'll get your reaction to this marie. this is the 2020 democratic nominee preference among democratic primary voters, bernie sanders topping that fox news poll for the first time. he has risen eight points since january. want to correct the percentage points we had on the screen in the previous hour to 31%. he is getting now. joe biden 18%. >> there is a lot of fluidity

in the race which we see on the ground every day. ed is right about what we'll see in south carolina on super tuesday. but we also saw in our polling that many democrats beat donald trump head-to-head. democratic hopefuls still match up well against donald trump and the first poll you mentioned about whether he will win is a question about whether, not whether you want him to. so look, if i were a betting woman i think the donald trump has probably more than a 50% chance of winning reelection. i don't want that to happen but given the kind of support he has among his base. given the troubles in the democratic primary now i think donald trump is a more formidable opponent than democrats think. maybe why the number is so high. not because they want him to win but they think he might. >> what if it's a sanders/trump election. what happens to the down ballot for the democratic party and the house and senate? do we see a day where americans say okay i'll reelect donald trump. wide majority but make sure the

house and senate will be squarely in the democratic side. >> ed: keep it clean, now. >> every candidate gets in trouble or incumbent should run their own campaign and not get tied to bernie sanders or biden. if you have to move away from your candidate, do what you do to get elected. >> amen. >> sandra: tell us how you really feel? >> republicans tried to do it in 2016. paul ryan said the house is running on the house, not donald trump. we'll see if democrats can do it now. >> ed: great a-team. have a wonderful weekend. the dow plunging again this morning following its biggest one-day point loss in history. coronavirus fears rattling the markets. more on what this means for your wallet with the money man charles payne next. >> sandra: charles, come on in. ♪ [shouting]

>> sandra: we're watching the dow this morning. it is still reacting to growing fears over the coronavirus and the possible spreading of it here at home. dow is after 1,000 points to cap off a turbulent week for markets. charles payne is with us now. firmly entering correction territory off more than 10% from recent highs, down another 4% this morning. >> we've broken all kinds of any kind of potential support points earlier in the week and of course now sort of an autopilot. even friday, everyone anticipated we would be up today. we haven't been up on fridays, one of the last five or six fridays. you have a lot of things contributing to this. it is not like a lot of people are selling, individuals. you do have i think, though, the negative reaction to what is called passive investing where people put all their money in the last few years in these etfs and funds that have

to -- when stocks go up they have to buy the stocks. certain stocks they buy. when it's going down it's the opposite. a negative feedback. >> sandra: you have people who stop you on the street all the time because they're worried or want to know what stock to buy. i've been stopped and asked why should you adjust? people are concerned. >> they're asking you. they didn't say i sold everything today. has anyone told you that? >> have some told me they've rotated. >> i had my business for 30 years and shocked how few people have sold. angry and upset. a lot want to buy. the bulk is not mom and pop saying i'm out of this. people aren't closing it up. passive investing, algorithms, some people are arguing it shouldn't be so easy to short markets on options. the market is indicating -- the market is reacting as if something massive could happen

to our economy. of course it always could. two important data reports came out in the last 45 minutes. one is manufacturing. it came out much better than anticipated. actually phenomenal number. they added that there is anecdotal evidence the coronavirus is leading to supply chain disruption essential and consumer sentiment. the second best number since 2004. in fact, during the course of february it got stronger what people believe will happen in six months. >> ed: good news not being spotlighted. >> the point is they said on monday and tuesday the mention of coronavirus went from 8% to 20%. of that still the majority are confident. the most important thing here folks is this line. panic is best avoided by a strong sense of confidence in the government's response that aims to control the potential spread of the virus and limit any resulting damage to the economy and welfare of consumers. the reason i bring all of this

up is i think today or in the next couple days president trump should consider suspending the tariffs on china. here is the thing. i didn't say dropping them completely. i said suspending them. evidence china is coming back online. traffic is up 100%. going back to the doctors. it will be so slow this is the time -- america has saved the world on many occasions. we're winning and have won the so-called trade war. even the globalists have to admit how dumb it was to give -- not only send our jobs overseas to china but these critical industries like medicines and everything. we've learned the lessons. i don't think america will let big business get away with that. >> ed: 30 or 60 days and you get a shot in the arm? >> you definitely get a shot in the arm. no doubt about that. it's the rest of the world that's fumbling this a lot more than we have. it is italy's response, china's

hand fisted response and this is the kind of thing the world is looking for. some sort of gesture from us, from america. and i think it would actually help china get online a little sooner. and it is not that we ever wanted their economy to die. we wanted the exact opposite. all we've ever said we want fair access to your 1.3 billion people the way you have fair access to ours. so you've already got phase one on the books. this manufacturing data 24% of these manufacturers said the phase one trade deal had a large positive impact. 24%. so imagine if we can grease the wheels for a phase two. >> sandra: you're not doubting this sell-off isn't tied to fears of the unknown. >> it is the fears of the unknown but it is assuming a worst case scenario that does not have to happen. >> ed: charles, thank you. u.s. meanwhile set to sign a peace deal with the taliban that could pave the way to

a signing agreement between the u.s. and taliban that would reduce u.s. forces here in afghanistan and would cut ties between the taliban and terror groups which could threaten the united states and that could lead to broader talks which could really end the war. look at what we saw and heard on the streets of kabul today. >> u.s. troops here in afghanistan have been fighting a war for some 18 years but the people of afghanistan have been living with war for some four decades. so even the possibility of peace was making some people here hopeful. >> if the peace come we work around afghanistan. >> we hope to finish the war in afghanistan. >> people are tired of war in afghanistan. >> tired of war. now the kabul market in the

center of the city is usually very busy. we could feel a lessening of tension and folks told us they could feel the reduction in violence. they are wary of the taliban thinking the peace process could take a long time. guys, just to run down the numbers, 2400 u.s. service members dead, 20,000 u.s. service members injured, tens of thousands afghan casualties and following this war for 18 years it couldn't come soon enough. back to you. >> ed: thank you. >> sandra: chris wallace will be here to weigh in on the whistleblower complaint. that's coming up. therere'realal. and we have no way to integrate all that?

>> sandra: it is 11:00 a.m. on the east coast. >> ed: time to get up in the west. big developments with the coronavirus. >> sandra: several new countries reporting their first cases, one in africa of particular concern. >> ed: the heroes who helped recuse americans from dhien yeah say the government didn't keep them safe. >> sandra: word now of a pet, somebody's dog coming down with the disease. >> ed: stocks down sharply again on coronavirus fears set to close one of the worst weeks in years. >> sandra: the one brand that wishes everyone would chill probably on a beach because coronavirus could be hurting this bottom line.

>> we start with this serious fox news alert. health and human services whistleblower says workers were sent to a military base without proper gear and training working with the coronavirus virus -- >> sandra: whistleblower using the words improperly deployed to describe conditions of a dozen workers were under while assisting evacuees. a hhs is looking into that complaint. it is all coming as a cruise ship is now not allowed to dock in the dominican republic due to fears of the virus. >> ed: we have live fox team coverage this hour from coast to coast starting with jonathan hunt in los angeles. good morning. >> good morning. the whistleblower complaint is a major concern not just because of the claim that the federal workers were put at risk, but because they then apparently re-entered their

communities. the whistleblower is a senior health and human services worker. she alleges that colleagues sent to meet evacuees from china and from the diamond princess cruise ship at travis air force base in northern california and others sent to deal with evacuees in southern california did not have the necessary protective gear or training. the complaint alleges the health and human services workers were, quote, improperly deployed and were, quote, not properly trained or equipped to operate in a public health emergency situation. hhs spokeswoman said in a statement we take all whistleblower complaints very seriously and are providing the complainant all appropriate protections. officials have said there is no connection between the evacuees who arrived at travis and the woman who contracted the virus nearby from an unknown origin

and being treated in sacramento. her case suggests there is spread within the community and questions raised why the woman wasn't tested sooner at the first hospital she went to. she apparently didn't meet the centers for disease control guidelines for testing. they say the cdc and white house are moving too slowly on testing. >> china does testing? can we reach out and learn from them? we could but didn't. korea does testing. 60,000 have been tested in korea. have we reached out to korea? we can obtain tests from korea? is cdc willing to do that as of this moment? no. >> cdc has said the pace of testing will increase immediately. ed and sandra. >> ed: thank you for starting us off. a lot of fast moving headlines.

several countries reporting their very first coronavirus cases. >> sandra: now added to the growing list mexico. lithuania on the list as well as new zealand, netherlands and nigeria. that case is especially worrisome in africa's largest city which has 20 million people. sub-saharan africa has some of the worst healthcare facilities in the world. >> 34 people dying in italy from the coronavirus. south korea has the most cases out of china with more than 2,000. italy has the most cases in europe, 650 there. >> sandra: another indicator of growing concern in italy right now police are reporting arresting 20 people at selling masks over $5500 apiece. the masks are not protecting people from the virus. heard a lot about that. >> ed: stuck at sea.

>> sandra: dominican republic is denying docking a cruise ship because of growing concerns of the virus. we're following this from miami this morning. >> this cruise ship is searching for a newport to disembark after just yesterday the dominican republic turned it away. officials there saying that they turned that ship away, the fred olson cruise lines after eight of its passengers on that ship displayed signs of possible coronavirus infection. now both of port authority and public health in the dominican republic sait the captain reported four filipinos and others were being observed after displaying fever, coughing or problems with breathing. the cruise line released a statement saying it is our opinion this is an over reaction by the dominican

republic and not what we've received before. the medical team confirmed those passengers in question are feeling better after being under observation, fred olson cruise line says no guests or crew are or have been displaying symptoms believed to be consistent with the coronavirus. the company is now in discussion with authorities on other caribbean islands and airlines to allow the guest to travel home. a different ship which just a few days ago was turned away from two different ports because of two possible people on its ship being sick is now going to disembark in mexico. this is an msc cruise line ship that left right out of here miami on sunday for a 15-day trip. ed and sandra. >> sandra: thank you, jeff. >> ed: what the health and human services whistleblower impact in washington good morning to you, chris wallace. we're watching the markets.

we're watching the president's response and talk about all this with you. that case let's start right there. in california where you had these federal employees going out to the military base and trying to make sure that these americans came home safely weeks ago from china at the very beginning of this crisis. now we're learning from a whistleblower that maybe the proper precautions were not taken. >> well, it's obviously very troubling and adds to people's concerns whether the administration is on top of this whole crisis or whether it's playing catch-up. the idea that hhs workers were sent to deal with people who have been evacuated from china who were in quarantine and didn't have the proper equipment or training. and then as jonathan hunt suggested made things even worse because they then left the quarantined area and went into the general public. that is the real key. obviously there is a lot of legitimate concerns here on the part of the american people. there is also some panic going

on that seems like unfounded concerns. but the administration has grot to give a sense that they're on top of this and ahead of it and flooding the zone that they're doing everything possible. when you get a story like this that hhs wasn't even protecting its own workers allegedly. we'll see whether or not it's true. it gives a sense they're playing catch-up. >> ed: no doubt about that. tom steyer one of many democrats running for president. the south carolina primary tomorrow night put out this statement calling it the president's kat. we're witnessing a total failure on the part of the white house that risks a kat level disaster for our country. the president did not call an official press conference until february 26 missing a crucial window to address the outbreak. pathetic response risks putting millions of american lives at risk. he has a political stake in this. the president was firing back

at tom steyer on twitter. i'm laong at a "washington post" article. how president trump's response to coronavirus with what government should do. i guess it's in the political arena. "washington post" writes that a lot of the steps the administration has taken have actually been good. >> well, absolutely. but one of the questions here is public confidence. and clearly the president wanted to hold that press conference on wednesday with the array of health officials from cdc and hhs and the whole government alphabet, if you will, of agencies and to ease people's concerns. and clearly it didn't do that because the next day the markets fell 1200 points, the biggest single day drop in the history of the dow jones. today it's down what another 973. we'll be down several thousand points this week.

so it hasn't eased people's concerns. again, part of it is panic and part of it is also a concern i think that early on you did see this kind of mixed messaging where the president seemed to be more optimistic about how the u.s. was handling the coronavirus, the fact it would be over soon. that it was going to end once the weather got warmer and somewhat more serious warnings from some of the health officials. that's the key is i think nobody can wave a magic wand and make it go away. people have to have a sense that the administration is doing all it can in the public health sense and politics is not a factor. it shouldn't be a factor either on the part of republicans or democrats. i don't know that tom steyer's comments are especially helpful except maybe to his political fortunes. >> ed: exactly. in the meantime talking about the market moving. the concerns on wall street. this president in the middle of a reelection battle where a strong economy is the

centerpiece there. democrats previously have had struggles trying to make the case against the president on the economy. here is nancy pelosi talking about the potential for bernie sanders, a democratic socialist, being the nominee. watch. >> my response to it is to make sure those we elected last time, keep the majority and add to our numbers. the presidential is its own race. whoever the nominee is of our party we'll wholeheartedly support. our gospel is one of unity, unity, unity. >> ed: she says it three times, unity, unity. in our new national poll you see the point difference, bernie sanders up eight points now at 31% nationally. joe biden 18%. bloomberg 16 about to open up the checkbook on super tuesday. first let's talk about the down ballot impact, chris, that nancy pelosi is trying to say we're unified. doesn't matter who it is. there are a lot of democrats

sounding the alarm if it's sanders at the top of the ticket they're worried about losing the house. >> absolutely. i had to kind of laugh at speaker pelosi. her first statement the presidential rails is -- race is its own race. the top of the ticket and other people are down ballot. there are 31 democrats who won first-timers in districts that went from obama in 2012 to trump in 2016 and then in 2018 went to the democrat. all those folks in swing districts, a lot of them will be very concerned if -- i repeat if bernie sanders is the nominee. you can already see it in some races both in house and senate races that the republicans are trying to tie whoever the democratic candidate is, you certainly see it in arizona, martha mcsally the republican senator against mark kelly the democratic challenger and tying him as much as she can to bernie sanders.

in a swing districts bernie sanders democratic socialism may not sell so well. it will be an issue if he is the nominee. every democrat running in anything close to a swing district will be tarred with bernie sanders' positions and have to defend them or put them at arm's length. that's a difficult situation either way. >> ed: last question. joe biden, this may be his last stand in south carolina. he is still leading in the polls there. the national polls he has taken a hit as well as other national polls. part of what's been going on he has been criticized for not doing a lot of sunday shows and not getting out there. maybe he needs that kind of free media ahead of super tuesday where he doesn't have the money for the ads bloomberg is running. you are sitting down with him this sunday. what shall we look forward to. >> the first time he has been on fox news channel in this entire cycle in 2020 and he will do us and the other sunday shows. he hasn't been on "fox news

sunday" since 2007. i'll be interested to talk to the vice president. i'll be writing questions at 11:00 tomorrow night. it will either be congratulations on your victory or are you dropping out depending on whether he loses or wins in south carolina. his big problem is even if he wins he is so invested in south carolina where all the other candidates have been campaigning in the super tuesday 14 states have put millions of dollars in ads and ground game. he is at ground zero and hasn't done anything. he may get a bounce if he wins in south carolina but not sure he can capitalize on it. we have plenty of things to ask him about. writing questions and storing them up for 11 years. >> ed: that's a long, long time. >> it's a long list. >> ed: you want a little more sleep saturday night but you will take one for the team and be with bret in our special coverage saturday night and sunday morning don't miss "fox news sunday". appreciate you coming in. >> sandra: looking forward to

seeing that. meanwhile a look at the dow here as we enter -- move towards the noon hour on the east coast. the dow off 870 points. another sharp loss on growing fears over the spread of the coronavirus. >> ed: plus apple ceo tim cook is going one-on-one with the fox business network. why he believes china has the coronavirus outbreak under control. an exclusive for us. >> we have reopened factories, so the factories were able to work through the conditions to reopen. they are reopening. as a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. that's why i like liberty mutual. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. almost done. what do you think?

>> sandra: quick look at the dow here as it continues to fall sharply yet again over concerns on the coronavirus. let's bring in andy pudzer. what do you want to tell us as we watch these markets now for days, seven straight days of selling and the markets heavy selling this week. what do you want to say as we're seeing panic. >> people should calm down. we'll come up with a vaccine for this virus. so the precipitating event, the

coronavirus eventually will come under control. it is already coming under control in china. it is a good time to look at stocks. this is a humanitarian crisis but i was in the greenroom adding some stocks to my yahoo list this morning to see when prices hit a certain level and yields hit a certain level might be a good time to step in the market. >> sandra: correction lasts for at least four months on average i should say. >> when i took over cke stock was $2. i don't my dad to buy some stock. it went up to $4. i said dad, you should buy some stock. >> ed: -- nervous. >> he said i think i'll buy. you don't want to wait until the market is high but while it is declining. >> sandra: perhaps a healthy correction should virus fears go away or not turn out to be all that bad. a culmination of events. >> it started off people thought the market was too high.

you heard people predicting we'll have a 25% correction. nobody talked about whether we would have a correction but when. then you have concerns about the nominee for president on the democratic side. i think wall street was hoping it might be mike bloomberg, it might be biden. you weren't going to face a situation where we could have a tragic reversal in the economy such as if warren or sanders were nominated. it looks like sanders will be nominated. bloomberg petered out and biden has petered out. nervousness about that. when coronavirus hit it all precipitated this decline. this is not -- we do have problems around the world. people are -- there is a lot of fear people are becoming isolationists in different countries that will hurt economic growth. the coronavirus we will solve it. it is a problem we'll solve. we're on top of this and great medical facilities unlike china and some of the countries where it's having a more dramatic

impact. we have a good medical system. the fear will pass, time will pass, people should keep their eyes open. >> sandra: what's important for the administration to do now as we do look at the fears and the unknown. we don't know what the next leg of this virus is or how much it may spread in the united states. what can the administration do to calm those fears? >> three things. one is be honest with the public. if you don't have credibility people won't believe what you say and it will hurt. secondly get rid of the politics. we really have to take politics out of this. i have know it will be difficult for some people. nancy pelosi saying we have to take politics out of it. we'll work together. we can't criticize each other and two seconds later she is criticizing the president. we have to take that out of it. three, just he has to create a sense of calm. reassure people. let them know what is going on and try to stem the panic. i think if we can be honest, stem the panic and take the -- the politics has to come out of this. this is almost a plea. you have bernie sanders out

there yelling well trump's policy is we'll let poor and working class people die. well, that's baloney. this vaccine will be made broadly available to everybody when it comes out. the congress has authorized between 2 and 6 billion more than the president asked for. there will be plenty of money to get it done. >> sandra: mike pence said he had a good conversation. >> a good guy. if anybody can do this it is mike pence. he is a competent person. i have think most people like mike pence in washington, d.c. we'll be fine. >> sandra: we hope for the best. andy, great to see you. >> ed: good stuff. apple ceo tim cook telling fox business he believes china has the coronavirus under control and that apple factories are actually coming back online. he sat down with fbn susan lee. a big exclusive and live in our studio this morning. good morning. >> we got exclusive access

trailing apple ceo. he is trying to provide coding opportunities for the underserved communities across the city. homecoming of sorts for tim cook since he grew up in alabama and went to auburn. we had an exclusive sit-down and talked about many things including education, giving back to the community, and of course coronavirus impacting china. take a listen. >> it feels to me that china is getting the coronavirus under control. you look at the numbers, they're coming down day-by-day by day. i'm optimistic there. we have reopened factories. the factories were able to work through the conditions to reopen. they're reopening and also in ramp. i think of this as a third phase of getting back to normal. >> apple was one of the first major companies they won't meet sales targets because of the

supply chain. apple is america's biggest company and in a unique position. they build 50% of their i-phones in china and 20% of their sales in the country. i asked him if he might reconsider moving manufacturing outside of china because of the coronavirus. you'll hear more about that as well in the ranging interview. another topic that everybody wants to hear about is his relationship with president trump. listen. >> when people see tim cook on one side and donald trump on the other. they see a lot of difference but you have been able to engage and work together. how does the relationship work? >> there are differences. there is no doubt about that. but you look for intersection. and i care a lot about creating jobs and i think the president does as well. i care a lot about training the workforce for the future. >> you will get the full

interview in two parts. the first one airing in about an hour's time. guys. >> ed: susan lee thanks for coming in. >> sandra: all right, 2020 candidates trying to shore up their support with african-american voters in south carolina. how they are using president obama to do that. our political panel is here to weigh in on that next. >> ed: the coronavirus crisis taking a toll on the sports world. could the summer olympics in japan be in jeopardy? >> talked to the 2020 committee and the japanese government take the situation seriously. i think we're all trying to preserve what is a fantastic global event. l congestion, which most pills don't. l congestion, flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase.

>> sandra: 2020 candidates making their final pitches in south carolina where voters will be heading to the polls tomorrow in the democratic primary. we're live in columbia, south carolina this morning. >> sandra: 2020 democrats are still stunned by what happened at the last democratic debate here in south carolina and they are pointing fingers at everyone else on stage. >> anyone see the debate on cbs the other night? it was more of a food fight i think than a debate. >> they're all yelling at each other and nobody is listening to each other. >> i am not picking fights except for the clear difference

between me and senator sanders and senator warren when it comes to policy. >> a new fox news poll out last night shows sanders is growing his lead nationally with an eight point bump since january to 31%. joe biden with an 8 point drop. biden is betting on a big turnout of black support in south carolina to give him momentum into super tuesday teasing last night he would pick michelle obama as his v.p. in a heartbeat and telling voters the democratic frontrunner bernie sanders with disloyal to the former president barack obama. >> one of the reasons i like bernie -- one reason i resent bernie, though, he wanted to primary barack in 2012. >> sanders is making his case about the former v.p. about electability. >> i don't believe that joe can beat trump when people learn

that he voted for the war in iraq. >> biden and warren are both supercharging their super pac spending in super tuesday state. warren's big money pac is spending $9 million in nine super tuesday states and has been against super pacs but de won't be the first and only one to denounce a pac. >> ed: let's bring our political panel. richard fowler and rachel campos-duffy. good morning to both of you. great to see you. this could be joe biden's last stand. a key endorsement ahead of south carolina leading the polls from jim clyburn who says it might be the beginning of a comeback. watch. >> we're trying to create a surge here. there will be 14 states voting next tuesday and we would like to see him go into those 14

states with a big vote out of south carolina. it would signal to the people down in texas that joe biden is, in fact, surging. i want to see a surge here. >> ed: richard, you've been down in south carolina where they had the debate. is a surge coming for joe biden? >> it looks like it could be the case. the clyburn endorsement is what moves voters in south carolina. a stalwart in the state for a long time and his word goes a long way. we'll see what happens tomorrow. it will be a good night for joe biden. understanding in super tuesday there are more southern states that will be up and go to the ballots. it can dictate or foreshadow how they could vote and could give biden more delegates as he makes this what i think will be a marathon to the nomination. >> ed: maybe a marathon big picture but a sprint between south carolina and super tuesday. if joe biden has his lead hold in south carolina and say there was a week or so until super

tuesday he would have time to regroup, time to raise some money but right now rachel he has to go right into super tuesday where michael bloomberg is waiting with the checkbook. >> that's right. this is his last chance. he has to have some wind at his back. you are o*e right. the runway is short for him. joe biden is his finest moment when he says i'm not a socialist, ifm -i'm a democrat. if he will take on bernie he needs to make the case against socialism and hit bernie at his strengths. bernie sanders says i'm for the little guy. socialism hurts the poor and elites also win. if he wants -- biden needs to make the case against the radical ideas that bernie is putting forward. >> ed: the question of

socialism a perfect segue. richard, we've heard the questions for speaker pelosi. we had senator rick scott on last hour and he said florida as a battleground is over if sanders is the nominee. watch. >> bernie sanders can kiss florida goodbye. you won't have people fight to get away from socialism and vote for it again. it is convenient sometimes to say you care about liberty and freedom but then when you have to take an action these democrats aren't even around. bernie sanders is the only democrat being honest. he says what he believes. the others are socialist they are just not saying it. >> not all the democratic candidates are socialist and bernie is the only one saying it is correct. bernie sanders campaign has a problem in florida and what it means to be a democratic socialist. bernie that's the number one problem going into super

tuesday for bernie. how does he explain democratic socialism. they don't want socialism. they don't want a nominee that is praising fidel cast troe. it will be his number one problem. you saw it show up in the debate tuesday and that will continue to show up for his campaign. >> ed: sanders defending his comments and rick scott says kiss florida goodbye. >> he is absolutely right. kiss florida goodbye and a lot of independents goodbye and many democrats who are conservative. ironically they're fighting for obama support in south carolina. obama might be the one to help because obama definitely opened the door to the ideas and policies of socialism look at his post president life. he and michelle obama might be mr. and mrs. capitalism with netflix deals, mansions on the shores of god knows where. maybe there is something there. they have had a change of heart and they can cling to that. >> let's get one thing straight.

what the barack obama did was make sure everybody had access to affordable healthcare and make sure everybody had high quality public school in the neighborhood. that's not called socialism. good american values. >> he said spread the wealth and big government and it is bernie sanders. >> that is not socialism. >> the poor are doing better under these economic poll seals -- poll seals ---policies, less regulation. thanks, ed. >> sandra: last word, last word. bloomberg campaign taking aim at bernie sanders. how they're using a hack to challenge the frontrunner for the democratic nomination. >> ed: corona beer sales slipping. you can probably guess why. we'll take that up next. this is history making news for all veterans. v.a. mortgage rates just dropped to near 50 year lows. with newday's v.a. streamline refi,

>> sandra: it is that time where we go beyond the

headlines and take a break from the fast moving news cycle every day. look at this image. the bloomberg campaign now selling a hat that reads not a socialist. let's bring in kat timpf and fox news contributor. how are these selling? >> it's a good idea sort of. i'm not a socialist. i think it's pretty important to hit bernie for being a socialist. it's crazy to me whenever i see the democratic candidates going after each other. he is there being like fidel castro, not all bad. that seems to be egg graoejous. the problem with bloomberg. he is a billionaire. it is difficult for billionaires to be funny. a lot of comedy comes from emotional turmoil and they can afford too good therapists. trump is the only funny billionaire i know of. we don't see zuckerberg doing

stand up for a reason. >> sandra: mike bloomberg took criticism for trying to crack jokes on the debate stage. >> too rich to be funny. >> ed: the hats are selling from the trump playbook. >> hats play a big role in politics. >> ed: as far as selling beer americans are avoiding purchases of corona beer amid the coronavirus. >> two groups of people here. they don't want to order a corona in public. they'll be like be careful, and your night is ruined. you'll hear something stupid. the bad one is the 14% who -- the 16% who don't know whether it's related to coronavirus or not. >> sandra: the third number is people confused whether or not the virus comes from the beer?

>> it's very stupid but not surprising because we live in a society where people will see a headline pop up on their phone and won't read it and freak out. i remember a few years ago when isis was in the news a lot eye overheard this woman saying she needed to do laundry. she took her blanket on the plane and she thought it was isis on it. it is stupid but unfortunately stupid is pretty common. >> sandra: wow. we took a break from the fast-moving news cycle. ed, care to jump in? >> ed: we love kat. >> sandra: i just had six coronas before the show. >> ed: after the show, not before. the sports world feeling the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. how one major soccer league is now coping and how it might impact bigger events like the olympics. but recognize what's important to you in terms of your goals
