arthel: president trump with a new warning about the coronavirus saying moments ago that more cases are likely in the u.s. as the first confirmed death in the u.s. is reported in suburb of seattle. >> additional cases in the united states are likely, but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. they should be able to recover should they contract the virus. arthel: hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters, i'm arthel neville. eric: thank you for joining us, i'm eric sean. washington state health officials there they will hold a news conference about that death just about an hour or so from now. the victim of coronavirus there

an older woman they said in her 50's who had chronic issues. white house meanwhile taking new action banning travel to iran in response to outbreak as president trump described the fatality in seattle that woman that had high medical risk. david spunt at the briefing with more, just outside with more, david. >> hi, david, arthel, president trump held lengthy briefing in brady briefing room and surprise to many staff at the white house having to shuffle on a saturday not fully expecting the briefing but we did find out about the tragic death in washington state. president trump expressed his condolences, now this briefing today comes after a longer briefing obviously not open to the public in the situation of the white house led by vice president mike pence. now he's leading the coronavirus task force, president trump made the announcement earlier this week. today president trump not only expressed his condolences but told the people in the united states the american people not

to panic, that's something that several other officials including dr. anthony fauci with the national institute out of health also told people, i had a chance to talk to president trump and ask him a specific question because yesterday in charleston he used the word hoax talking about the latest democrat hoax saying democrats are using this as a hoax to make people worried and make people panic but just 2 days ago in cabinet room president trump said we have to get away from politics, we don't want to use politics here. we are better than this and we need to keep politics out of this. his this was hi reaction of him using that word last night, listen. >> folks referring to the action that they take to try and pin this on somebody because we've done such a good job, the hoax is on them, i'm not talking about what is happening here, i'm talking what they are doing. that's the hoax. that's just a continuation of the hoax, whether it's the impeachment hoax or the russia,

russia hoax, these people have done such an incredible job and i don't like it when they are criticizing these people and that's the hoax. >> the administration also making news that it will be stopping travel from foreign national who have been in iran from coming the united states and also issuing level 4 travel warning for people that want to go to parts of italy and south korea that have been specifically impacted by the coronavirus and president trump said, listen, it's possible that the mexican border could be closed because of this and it's also possible that there could be more travel restrictions but the bottom line, one of the officials on stage today said people don't need to go out and buy masks. the average american does not need to panic, wash your hands, pay attention, all the things that we have heard before and one more thing, eric, arthel, president trump said it's likely to be discussing with many american people in the coming days. i mean, he hasn't done since he came in to the white house, he did one in january of 2019, very

briefly, but this is not something he's used to doing. he said he wants to speak directly to the american people. we can expect him doing that more, eric, arthel. eric: clearly addressing the issue and we will be on this, david, next 3 hours including where the president appears before cpac, david, thank you. arthel: first death in the u.s. coming after four people got sick but it's not clear how since they had no link to international travel or exposure to another patient. senior correspondent claudia cowan in sacramento, claudia. >> hi, arthel, that's right, it's still not known how two northern california women contracted the conia virus, first suspected case of the community spread, a woman treated at uc davis medical but the hospital has become point of concern because according to nurses union, more than 100

medical workers who had contact with this patient are now in quarantine. in a statement national nurses united saying, quote, these 124 nurses and healthcare workers who are needed now more than ever have instead been sidelined. lack of preparedness will create unsustainable national healthcare staffing crisis. nurses view the handling of this covid-19 case as system failure and not success. the hospital says it sent a few employees home out of what it calls abundance of caution but one nurse tells me that they feel they are getting the information and the protection they need to effectively respond to this now deadly crisis. this deadly outbreak and in the meantime public health officials in santa clara county yesterday identifying the second case of community spread as a 65-year-old woman who had chronic health issues, they are now scrambling to find anyone she may have exposed. california now has 8 locations

where people can be tested for covid-19. golden state is ground zero for coronavirus with 34 cases, half of all confirmed cases in the u.s. and more than 8400 people are being monitored including as i mentioned those who had contact with this patient here at uc davis medical center. arthel, i can tell you that this woman became very, very sick last week before getting the right test and from there getting the right diagnosis. she remains in isolation as last report listed in serious condition, back to you. arthel: claudia you may or may not know this we were told at press briefing by the president and health secretary and officials that this woman had apparently had some existing illnesses or she had a compromised system is what i took away from that. do you know if that -- are you hearing that from the hospital there? >> the hospital here is not releasing any information about the patient here, again, we know she's from salono county and

presented at her local hospital several weeks ago, almost 2 weeks ago, she apparently wanted to get tested for covid-19 at the time but didn't meet existing criteria back then because she had not traveled out of the country or came into contact with anybody who was infected and there was a delay in getting her the right test, eventually transferred to uc medical center and got the right test and diagnosed as a positive covid-19 patient and now being cared for in isolation. arthel: let me correct myself, claudia, the patient that president and officials were referring to the patient who has unfortunately died from the coronavirus. thank you very much for the report in california. thank you very much, you're in the state of washington, thank you very much, claudia. eric: joining us more on coronavirus and how you can

prepare position at school of medicine. doctor, the president and officials told us that the risk to the american public is low. people, though, should be prepared. are you encouraged after what you heard from the president? >> well, i tell you how i feel. i feel like saying things are happening the way we sort of predicted that they would. cdc and world health organization has been saying for a long time now that the likelihood of spread of coronavirus in this country was going to happen and that we may and probably would get more cases. we are seeing exactly that. so this is really a time where -- and by the way, certainly our hearts go out to certainly the woman that recently passed and her family and loved ones, but this is a wake-up call, this is a game-changer that we need to be thinking about that's differently and we do need to be preparing. eric: what do you mean by that, thinking about it differently. they said you don't have to get masks but should people prepare and stock up on food and there's

been low on masks? >> sure, sure. so when i talk about preparation i'm talking about two different sides, let's talk about the healthcare side before i go into patients. you're exactly right, the risk in the country is still low. let's make no mistake about that. it is not recommended to wear masks. i've saying that over and over again, but what i'm also talking about is we still don't have testing kits abundantly available. they will do this quickly. in order for doctors for us to diagnosis coronavirus especially if it's spreading and likely, may be, we have to be able to test for it. that's one thing. the other thing, eric, in terms of how we diagnosis coronavirus, right, one of the things that we are saying about this particular case, fatalities is perhaps this woman did not meet the criteria. cdc has recently broadened the definition of who we can test. that will be important.

so when i say we have to get prepared and we need to kind of it's a game-changer, these are the things that need to be happening as they are but it's got to happen for us to get ahead of this. on the party side, though -- eric: i was going say the woman was troubling about the date because the woman had no known travel. >> right. eric: this is from stat a medical news letter, coronavirus may be spreading in parts of the pacific northwest with california, oregon, washington state reporting diagnosed cases with no known travel history or contact with another case. >> right. eric: one person is a teenager, closed the school for a few day there is. what do you think -- what are we going to see when you have no travel, she did not go to china or south korea or not back from iran, how widespread do you think this will finally get? >> no, no, no, you're talking about exactly the right thing. this is what we have been concerned about, what you're

describing right there when someone has not either traveled to a place, travel-related, you know, acquiring or person to person spread, meaning someone around who traveled. when you have a case of coronavirus and you no idea where the person picked it up from, that's called community spread. that's the very thing that we have been worried about, warned about in some ways anticipating. that's what we are seeing now, and the problem with that, eric, is that -- it becomes hard to number 1, track down any contacts but also becomes hard to really understand how widespread the extent of this condition may be. again, i'm getting excited about it because literally every moment of every day we are learning more and more about this. i always try to say, you know, let's not be panicked even though we keep hearing about coronavirus because really our risks still is low. eric: that's really so important to keep in mind. and finally quickly, wash hands if you think you have the flu go to the doctor, get tested, stay

at home for 14 days basically? >> what i would -- look, what i would say about this, yes, wash your hands, don't touch your face. if you're sick, stay home. stay away from sick people. but if you're concerned you have the coronavirus, fever, cough, shortness of breath, call your doctor first to find out what they want you to do rather than going in and potentially exposing other people. that's what i would say. eric: thank you, great point. get that sanitizer out and wash hands a lot and we will try to get through this. thank you. >> sure. eric: arthel. >> and i'd like to congratulate all of those incredible people that have worked for so long on our endless war in afghanistan, 19 years, going on 20 years and there hasn't been a moment like. we've had very successful

negotiations. we think that they'll be successful in the end. the other side is tired of war. arthel: president trump speaking at the white house after the u.s. and the taliban signed historic peace agreement earlier today in qatar aimed at ending america's 18-year long war in afghanistan. the deal paves the way for thousands of u.s. troops to withdraw, senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palcock. >> as you mentioned an agreement was signed presided over by the secretary of state mike pompeo, the united states and the taliban calling for withdrawal of u.s. troops about 8600 in the next months and then with much of the remainder of the troops leaving following that. that is based, however, on the enemy, the taliban fallen

through on conditions including severing ties with terror groups here in the country. we ask secretary defense esper who was here in kabul about the response to have agreement. >> i think this is an historic day that offers great deal of hope but we know that it'll be a windy road, bumpy road. it may have setbacks but we are committed to partners and nato allies to follow the path of peace and stability. the only way for the -- the best way forward is through political agreement. >> secretary esper, afghan president gani, they were here at another ceremony marking the agreement, now according to many experts begins the hard part. upcoming between afghan and taliban to possibly share power in a future government. time and again, though, today we have heard people expressing their gratitude for those americans and others who have given their life in this very

long effort underscore to us by the commander of u.s. troops. take a listen. >> that continues to be -- first of all not only service members but to their families. it's about protecting. >> general miller said he always, always remembers 911 and always remember those who have given their lives here, back to you, arthel. arthel: indeed, greg palcock, thank you very much. >> now he's arrived. he's there to speak about political active conference here after the fourth year in a row. annual cpac meeting, the talk of the town there is senator bernie sanders as you know the

self-proclaimed democrat socialist has been surging in the polls as been a major topic of conversation at the gathering of conservatives there as we prepare to watch the president when he takes the stage. we will bring you his speech at cpac live. doug at the convention center with the very latest on what we can expect. >> hi, eric. we understand that the president has now landed here at cpac, 5-minute drive to the auditorium where we have now stand and we've been told he's in the building and his appearance is eminent. he will appear before a crowd of true enthusiast or true converts here at cpac but wasn't always that way. not everybody here once appreciated donald trump, go back to the straw poll in 2012. guess who won? mitt romney with 38% of the vote, 2014, 15 was rand paul who straw poll here.

in 2016 the year that donald trump won the nomination it was ted cruz who won the straw poll, but last year in 2019 donald trump took it away with high honors here with 82% of the vote. since then enthusiasm for donald trump has only increased. last year he electrified and went on for over 2 hours. you recall he hugged the american flag here. got a huge ovation for that. since that time, the economy has only grown, he has managed to silence his critics with what some critics say is bombast and others say enthusiasm. this is what lindsey graham had to say about the president's rally last night. >> it's like pt barnum met ronald reagan, policies are reagan like but his ability to present himself is beyond anything aye ever seen in

politics quite frankly, entertainment. it was an hour and a half and seemed like 15 minutes. >> right now they are playing a documentary, tribute to donald trump, we expect his arrival on the stage here to be eminent. the house is packed. i'm sure that the ovation will be rousing. eric, back to you. eric: our house is packed in the fox news channel, we will bring the president's speech in his entirety as soon as he takes the stage, we will get back to you after the president speaks. arthel: president trump did address that in speech earlier in briefing room and will continue to update us from the very room in the days to come. the white house correspondent for usa today and so speaking of

president trump he does not need to rally his base. i mean, the base is already rally and strongly supports the president as do gop lawmakers. what is the president's purpose and agenda at cpac today? >> basically just gather troops and get them ready for fall campaign. one of the things you'll hear is that he's going chat up the bernie sanders phenomena in the democratic primary because president and aides have made it clear, they feel it's the easiest to beat. i will suspect in front of conservative group he will talk about his record, talk about campaign and also people for what he sees as coming battle with the socialism of bernie sanders. arthel: that said, will the president have any messaging for undecided voters and can we expect to hear him make a direct plea to those voters? >> possibly today but i think right now i think he's more interested in consolidating his own base, at least that's the impression i've been getting from rallies he's been doing

across the country. his campaign is out busy collecting names of potential supporters, contacting them, getting people to walk the neighborhoods and make sure they are still on board. i think we are still in the base development part of the campaign right now whereas after the convention once he's officially the nominee again you will see him turns more the moderates and undecided in the electorate. arthel: meanwhile president trump was at the rally in south carolina last night and he was easily polling the crowd asking them who they would rather face in the november election, so if we talk about south carolina in terms of gop voter turnout, how many gop voters do you think david will participate in open primary to cast votes for democratic candidate they think the president is most likely to beat and in this case would be bernie sanders based on what you said earlier? >> right, it's a good question. hard to tell. it's an open primary in south carolina, all you need to do is show up. you don't have to register for either party but it's hard to tell who are people who are actually republicans that are

voting today but there will be some. i don't think there's any doubt about it. you mentioned last night he polled the crowd and urged republicans to get out and vote, basically wants to mess with the democratic primary system. arthel: david, i've got to go, thank you very much and we will be right back. sorry. wow! that's ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist! i'm tryin'! keep it up. you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. ensure max protein. and one gram of sugar. itso chantix can help you quit slow turkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting.

arthel: could be make or break time for joe biden, the former vice president is looking for his first win of the 2020 race in south carolina. 54 delegates up for grabs in today's primary with super tuesday only 3 days away. we have fox team coverage of the candidates. mark meredith is following bernie sanders and peter doocy is tracking joe biden. but first we will go to bryan llenas with the preview of today's high-stake primary, hi, brian. brian: hi, arthel, good afternoon, we are here in green view in south carolina, this is where the voters have been checking in. if you look over here the 6 machines that they are using to vote. to be honest with you, it's been a steady trickle of voters all day, the only line that was here was early this morning and we just got off the phone with south carolina's election commission who pretty much said anecdotally they are hearing

that there is very light areas in terms of foot traffic for voters and in other places there's steady turnout. we have seen curb-side voting for handicap and elderly, more than 75,000 absentee ballots, that's up from 54,000 in 2016 democratic primary. that could mean more people decided to vote early out of convenes and could indicate something of good turnout. huge turnout something that billionaire bob steyer are hoping for and steyer who danced with rapper spent $13 million on tv ads and mailers in the state. more than all the candidates combined to try to reach out to black voters who make up north of 60% of south carolina's democratic voters. sanders too, though, is hoping for a big turnout of new voters to pull off an upset win in this primary where biden is favored

to win. speaking to some black voters here in south carolina, efforts by steyer and sanders are being noticed and led to last-minute undecided voters. >> it's something about sanders that he just seems like jump out at me. >> the field is so big that -- there's a lot of similarities that cut across some of the candidates. >> i'm torn between bernie and warren. i'm just waiting until i get there to make final decision. >> tom looked good. biden looks good. >> arthel, you've mentioned this before but south carolina is an open primary and earlier today on neil cavuto jim clyburn mentioned that republicans are taking part of the primary simply to cause chaos. >> there are voting in the democratic primary to try to stop joe biden or trying to nominate someone they think will

be easy down in november. i'm concerned about that and i will have a meeting -- >> and arthel, this election is the first statewide south carolina election where they're using the touch screen machines for the first time that also have a paper ballot for security, arthel. arthel: bryan llenas, thank you very much, brian. eric: meanwhile could be joe biden's last stand or the to boost campaign has been waiting for. the former vice president is looking for a big win in south carolina as he tries to keep presidential drive alive. peter doocy live in colombia where the former vice president has been pushing for last-minute votes. hi, peter. >> former vp popped up at polling place in super tuesday north carolina but he was also at polling places here in south carolina where he thinks he can do well enough by 7:00 p.m. when the polls close to give his campaign a badly-needed jolt. >> it would be good, a good start to get to super tuesday

and it would be really well. i think we can do well and -- look, i'm very optimistic. i'm optimistic not just about today, i'm optimistic about the who process from here on out. >> most of biden's rivals are moving out of south carolina to concentrate on other super tuesday states like pete buttigieg, $13 million by tuesday. >> i feel a wind at my back as we continue our campaign here. [cheers and applause] >> and onto super tuesday which is less than 72 hours from now. [cheers and applause] >> we are going to shock the world. i can't thank you enough. please keep at it and let's have some fun along the way. peter: south carolina is tom s, the -- steyer's strongest state and so is elizabeth warren who dodged today when asked which state is coming up that she can actually win.

>> i'm loving this. this is a culmination of a lifetime of work and instead of just having ideas that kind of stay on the academic side of the house, i think they have to fight for it. look, i think that we are, this is winning, i'm loving every minute. peter: there were some scattered reports of computer issues at a few precincts but apparently the most common cause of those people putting in the wrong password. otherwise everything appears to be running smoothly in south carolina. eric: that's great news, things going smoothly finally. peter, thank you. arthel. arthel: eric, meanwhile one of the biggest days of primary season is just around the corner and with over 1300 delegates on the line on super tuesday, some of the democratic candidates are not wasting any time canvassing those states. live in virginia beach, virginia ahead of a rally for bernie sanders, mark. >> arthel, good afternoon, bernie sanders campaign looking

past today's contest in south carolina, he's been holding multiple events up in the northeast today. he will have one where we are here in virginia beach. 50 or so folks lined up to hear from the senator a little while from now. now, bernie sanders lost virginia's primary four years ago, the latest numbers show that the state shows he does trail former vice president joe biden. biden will be campaigning in virginia on sunday. now, of course, the big x fact o michael bloomberg, former new york city mayor, he's been out here as well in virginia and northern virginia and not far from the white house as they have been getting ready for tuesday and michael bloomberg spent a lot of money on gun control efforts here in virginia as we come back out here live, bernie sanders supporters lined up here on a cold windy day in virginia, very eager to hear from the senator. of course, another event this afternoon. aerowhen i can, arthel, back to you guys. arthel: mark meredith, thank you very much for the update. and we will be right back.

ever to come here and i had some great people and have some incredible generals and had a decision to make because that was just not -- they were not doing it right and we made the decision and we took them out. remember i got to 98% and i said, now ski bring people back home and then what happened the press, they didn't care. they went crazy. they said he didn't complete the job. i said, general, complete the job and they completed the job. the europeans should be helping us because many of the people guarding and thousands of isis fighters, many of the people will go home to france and germany and uk and others and we say take them, no, no, we don't want them. see we do things for other people and then they forget our allies, sometimes our allies treat us worst than our enemies. i say to say this to you.

it's very sad. you do them a big favor. it's all right. it's working out well. we took out al-bagdadi, you see him speaking, he was young and now older, they were looking for him for 16 years. one of the things when i came in you have to find this guy out. yes, sir, we have him, sir. we are following him all over the middle east. he would move place to place to place. we are following him, sir, and then they said, sir, we have him and i had to give an order and i gave the order. i tell you what, 66 of the most incredible soldiers you've ever seen, they went on 8 helicopters and you know in modern day ware fare you can watch. you can't make a movie like this. for instance, there's no dog like conan.

[cheers and applause] >> there's no dog like conan, right? conan after the operation was a tremendous success. they were looking for him for a long time and it was a lot of violent fighting and ultimately we got him. he was in the tunnel at the end of the tunnel and conan was going after him and almost electrocuted but we got him. when you saw the professionalism of the soldiers, i can't even tell you. nobody has a military like we have. nobody as talented as we are. incredible. [cheers and applause] >> they got him and he knew it. he knew it. he knew it. as soon as he heard that first little explosion that took him about 3 seconds, blew the hell out of the wall. why don't they go through the front door. sir, you go through the front

doors you have bulleting coming at you. so fast. so now they are shooting the guys from behind. that's much better, right? who is that? who is that? unbelievable. you don't have a movie like that. conan actually -- conan was given more press than your president. [laughter] >> it was half a day story. somebody else would have done it, it would have been the greatest thing ever happened. that's all right, i do it for a different reason. i do it also for all of the people that they killed and wounded. [cheers and applause] >> they killed and wounded a lot of people, but american forces cannot be the policemen for the entire world. we are all over the world and a lot of times we are not even

appreciated. it's taken for granted. we can't be the policemen for the world and the democracy builders, we just can't do that for every nation that seems to have difficulty especially for those nations that don't appreciate what we do, and there are many of them, many of them, and that goes with trade also. their job is to be secure and my job is to make sure that we are secure and to defend our country first, our country. today the united states -- [applause] >> the years they've been trying to do this and today the united states signed a deal with the taliban so that we can hopefully begin the immediate process of finally bringing our troops back home. [cheers and applause]

>> 19 years. 19 years. thank you. and as you know others wanted to do it. we got it done and just signed it and i want to thank a lot of people, we really have to thank. you know who we have to thank? the families and those incredible people that lost their lives to start off with, okay. [cheers and applause] >> those incredible families. i've gotten to know so many families and we have to thank our wounded warriors that came home missing limbs, our great wounded warriors, we are taking good care of them too. [applause] >> and i want to just thank our military because, you know, we have been really a police force for a long time and we are not supposed to be a police force. we are supposed to be fighting soldiers and we could win that war very easily if we wanted to

lose, kill a million people that have nothing to do with it, that don't know anything about us and it's really a great feeling. i watched the ceremony today early in the morning on our television and mike pompeo, secretary of state -- [cheers and applause] >> secretary of defense, esper is doing a great job, pompeo and esper were in different locations signing with different groups. pretty complicated deal i have to be honest but in an exchange of taliban's action against al-qaeda and other terrorists who could threaten us. we are prepared to begin those force withdrawals and if the taliban and the afghan government live up to their commitments and they may or may not but i think we have a lot of reason why they will. i think they will. that means that the longest war in american history by far, it's not even close, will be over. [cheers and applause]

>> and, again, the agreement was made possible by the extraordinary bravery of our -- of our american warriors, the sacrifice of these incredible people, their allies, and i want want to thank, nato came in, we had 28, essentially 28 countries participating in this and they're very happy to be out. they are happy to be -- soon to be doing other things and i say this to the taliban, great fighters, obviously they are great fighters. all you have to do is ask the soviet union, they are great fighters, but they are tired also. this is 19 years, 19 years, so very happy to announce that this group in particular. it's just sort of -- i should say we scheduled it for our cpac

day, not. [cheers and applause] >> we scheduled for cpac, what better place? we salute those who gave their lives and we salute all of those incredible people and after years of rebuilding foreign nations, we are finally rebuilding our nation and taking care of our own american citizens. it's time, right? it's time. [cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! >> you remember recently when i took the soldiers out of syria and everyone said, well, we have to protect the border between turkey and syria and i said, why, why, what does it have to do with us? they have been fighting for a thousand years. what does it have to do with us? why are we protecting the border. you can't do that, i did it. we created a safe zone and i did leave a number of soldiers because we kept the oil, there's oil there and we kept the oil if

it's okay. so they say he left soldiers, no, i left soldiers to keep the oil, okay, they don't want to say that. they kept soldiers there. he didn't tell the truth. these people are the worst. they are. [laughter] >> it would be so much easier for our country if we had a press that told the truth. [cheers and applause] >> right? it's true. and we are also committed to ensuring that those who mean to do us harm as a nation even as individuals are denied admission to america. they are not allowed into our country and we have some very, very powerful people right now. our borders are strong. all of the 911 hijackers came in

on visas and we have determined to keep radical islamic terrorists the hell out of our country. [cheers and applause] >> and we are keeping them out. border security is also health security. our efforts to keep america safe, my administration has taken the most aggressive action in modern history to control our borders and protect americans from the coronavirus. [applause] >> came from china. in the early stages of the foreign outbreak, i ordered sweeping travel restrictions to prevent uncontrolled spread of this disease. i took a lot of heat because i did it very early. you know, we had never done it before, matt, never done it before and we had never done

anything like that before, so not only did we do it but i did it very early and that decision has been now given very good grades like an a plus, plus, plus. [laughter] >> i took a lot of heat even from my own people, but we did the right thing. the extreme call us racist from imposing critical life-saving measures. they wanted to let infected people pour into the country. i don't think they knew how bad it was in all fairness but nothing will deters from protecting the well-being of the american people. [cheers and applause] >> my job is to protect americans and also very crucially in this case to protect americans' health and we will do that and we will do it with a vigor, that is why -- thank you. that is why today my administration announced new

measures to protect americans to the fullest extent possible. in addition to the existing ban on travel by most iranian nationals, we are banning the travel of anyone who has been in iran for the last 14 days. they are having a very big outbreak. [applause] >> they are safe now, if we can help iranians, we are doing certain things for now. if we can help the iranians, we have the greatest healthcare professionals in the world and if we can help the iranians with this problem we are certainly willing to do so. we would love to be able to help them and all they have to do is ask. we will have great professionals over there. we have the best in the world. [applause] >> and we are raising the state department travel advisories for south korea and italy. unfortunately italy including a level 4, that's the highest, do not travel. do not travel advisory for several areas of both countries. there are two areas of each

country that is heavily infected and we are urging americans to exercise increase caution throughout all of europe. we will do everything in our power to keep the virus and those carrying the infections from entering our country. as you know, we took in approximately 40 people that were americans and they may have had it, some had it, but they were put in quarantine and it's working out. many of them are in good shape right now and they are better in going home. it's time for all americans to put politics aside and to come together to work for the health, safety and security of the american people. a great thing. [applause] >> because, you know, i watch and natural reflex. i watched. if nothing else making the early decision, weeks, weeks early and we've done a great job and i've gotten to know the

professionals. they are incredible, and everything is under control. they have very, very cool. they've done it and they've done it well. everything is really under control, but when they put a mic in front of a democrat and the democrats say, doesn't even know what's going on, how is trump doing, he's doing a terrible job. well, sadly i'd probably say the same about them. [laughter] >> you know. i guess it's a natural reflex. how is donald trump doing nervous nancy? he's doing a terrible job. terrible. crying chuck schumer, he sees a mic, he will run 200 yards to get to a mic. hundreds of yards to find a mic. he's doing a terrible job. watch out, what's he working on there? this is a different kind of a deal. you know, we've made great

deals, great trade deals but this is different. we have to be snches we'r>> we're doing a ge gave lot of credit. a lot of people wouldn't able to do it. we have to make it nonpartisan. in three short years under my administration we've already achieved unprecedented victories and unrivaled gains for our citizens. as i said in my state of the union address, yes in the midst of the great american comeback. that's what is happening. [ cheering and applause ] >> our economy is roaring. jobs are booming. opportunity is soaring. poverty is plummeting. crime is falling. and america is stronger today than ever before. stronger today. our military is incredible. we have rebuilt our incredible u.s. military.

revived our industrial might and restored our standing in the world. america is respected again, respected like never before. [ cheering and applause ] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! >> since my election, america has gained 7 million new jobs, 5 million more than government experts projected at the end of the last administration. they were saying the most you could possibly do is 2 million, we did 7 million. i never even said we were going to do 7 million. that's a lot of jobs. unemployment has reached the lowest rate in over 51 years. the average unemployment rate

from my administration is the lowest for any president in the history of the united states. [ cheering and applause ] >> gl that's a good one. that's a good one. the unemployment rate among african americans, hispanic american, and asian americans has reached record lows. all record lows, every one, lowest ever. young people have seen their wages increase by 16%, a record. and their wages are rising three times faster than those wages during the last four years of -- did you ever hear of this gentleman -- the obama administration. ever hear of him? more than 2 million millennials have gotten jobs. we have lifted 10 million people off the welfare roles and 7 million people off of food

stamps. [ cheering and applause ] >> and under the so-called trump economy, we are actually achieving the progress, hope and change that liberals have been falsely promising for decades but utterly failed to deliver and it's really driving them crazy. that's why we'll probably end up with crazy bernie, he's crazy. we've got some beauties. we've got sleepy joe, crazy bernie, mini mike, but i think he's out of it. i would like to spend $700 million and end up with nothing. mini mike. i know him well. i knew that was going to happen. that was probably the worst debate performance in the history of presidential debates. do we agree? has there ever been anything

like that? but he's going to keep spending the money. i think this weekend i think he's going to -- i hear his ads stop on tuesday. he's going to spend a lot of money. it just shows you that you can't buy an election. there's a point at which people say you've got to bring the goods a little bit too. you've got to bring the goods. pocahontas, did she destroy him, i'll tell ya. and look what i did to her. she choked. you know, she went out and got a test because i was killing her with the pocahontas. remember i said i have nor indian blood in me than she does and i have none. i said it. i said it. love to have some but i have none. [ cheering and applause ] >> and she was getting hit with that name, pocahontas. that was one of the -- and they

said we want you to apologize for that name and i did, i apologized. nobody ever heard me apologize. i apologized to the real pocahontas, i apologized. [ laughter ] >> she went out and she said oh, this guy's killing me. remember, she was dropping like a rock. but i learned something. never do it too early. a year and-a-half before the election, i said what aim doing, i shouldn't have -- that's all right. she had those burning embers but ultimately she failed. she was really mean to mini mike, the way she treated him. he didn't know what hit him. he's going oh, get me off of this stage. get me off! get me off of this stage! [ cheering and applause ]

>> four more years! four more years! four more years! four more year! >> well, thank you very much. we hit a nerve there, huh? [ laughter ] >> bad guy. far left radicals have become increasingly desperate and increasingly dangerous in their quest to transform america into a country you would not recognize, a country in which they control every aspect of

american life. just as socialist and communist movements have done all over the world, they're cracking down on all dissent and demanding absolute conformity, they want total control. they want to massively raise your tax, bury you in regulation, take over american health care, indoctrinate our children from kindergarten to college and you see that happening, kids are coming home, saying what's going on here, dad. the kids get it. but eventually they can be taught, unfortunately. impose a fanatical code of political correctness. bombard the news with fake news propaganda and bring in policies that would turn america very quickly into a large scale venezuela. they want to take away your money, take away your choice,

take away your speech, take away your guns, take away your religion, take away your history, take away your future, and take away ultimately your freedom. but we will never let them do that. [ cheering and applause ] for many years the radical left sustained us all on american democracy cull churks institutions and -- cultures and institutions went unanswered but now we are fighting back and we are winning like never before. we're heemplet we are winning. --we're here. we're winning. there was a time i used to come

to cpac it didn't have this kind of energy. number one, you didn't have the president. you know, i was only going to do this for matt, once. i said i'm president, i can't go to cpac. right, matt? i did it, we had a great time t. he calls, says can you do it again next year? i said yeah, i guess. this is my fourth time or something, or more. or more. and i'll be here next year. okay? [ cheering and applause ]. why not. [ cheering and applause ] >> four more years! four more years! >> thank you. >> four more years! >> from the moment i took the oath of office, the left has pursued a relentless crusade to overturn the results of the 2016

election and sabotage our next election. you know that. it was all a big hoax, you know that. disgraceful. we caught the dirty cop on top. had i not fired comey it would have been a whole different story. it would have been a whole different -- that was a great firing. a lot of people said you shouldn't have done that. no, no, just the opposite. if we didn't fire him, remember the insurance poll circumstance right? right. remember that? my friend over there. you are the greatest. thank you very much. stand up, please. look at him. look at -- does everybody know jeffrey? jeffrey lord. what a great guy. [ cheering and applause ] >> he used to defend me on cnn and then he defended me just a little bit too much and they said jeffrey, get the hell out and thank goodness you're on fox now, right? he used to defend me. he used to say he's better than ronald reagan and that was enough for jeffrey. that was the end.

get out of here, jeffrey. we don't want you anymore. he was too good. thank you. thank you for being here too, jeffrey. they're coming after me and we fight them back and now we're going after them because we have no choice. we have to straighten out our country. but despite the best efforts of the left wing fanatics, their scams, schemes, slanders, they've all been discredited. totally discredited. how is comey doing? by the way, how is bob mueller doing? that was a great performance. raise your right hand. what? [ laughter ] >> did you want a job in the white house running the fbi. no. he did. he did. what happened to him? that was a lie. that was a lie. we have it down.

he said no. it was a lie. he want todd be director of the -- want todd be director of the fbi. then they appointed him the following day into special counsel. i call it special prosecutor, that's a much more accurate name. what they did to us, what they tried to do. can you imagine, with all of that, going through all of that with the cloud over your head like nobody's ever had, for us to have seriously done more than any other administration, i mean it's sort of a miracle when you think, sort of a miracle or it's a toughness or it's something. maybe it's right there. thank you. [ cheering and applause ] >> thank you, god. [ cheering and applause ] >> how did we do that? how did we do it? best economy, greatest military, greatest tax cuts in history, greatest regulation cuts in history. all those judges, those

beautiful judges. two supreme court judges. great ones. but their sinister plots have been exposed and their credibility has been totally destroyed. they're still just dealing with the embers, a little bit like pocahontas. she had those embers and she started coming up than was the end. but they have embers too. they have embers. they have a lot of bad people around but one by one, with the help of everyone here today, the american dream is back today, big e better and stronger than ever before. [ cheering and applause ] >> to lift up forgotten and impoverished communities, we created nearly 9,000 opportunity zones all across our country, senator tim scott was so great. creating jobs and opportunities and investment, now pouring into the places that needed it the most. we have poor areas that haven't

had 10-cents invested in them in years and years and years. and now millions of dollars are going in there. we're transforming neighborhoods. it's incredible. it's incredible. it's one of the -- it's not talked about much by the media. it's one of the greatest things ever done in terms of economic development, opportunity zones, millions and millions of dollars are being poured, not being poured in by the federal government. it's incredible. we passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in american history, larger than any before. and it's incredible. all my life -- i've only been doing this for five years but all my life i've watched politics. it was always the guy that cut taxes -- you want to cut taxes. democrats have a strange platform. they don't want a wall. they want people to pour in. they want to raise your taxes, right. they say we want to raise taxes. trying to say is this like a good thing to campaign on?

they want to raise taxes, right? think of it. they want to have sanctuary cities where you protect bad people in many cases. the sanctuary cities -- by the way, we just won the big case. did you see that? [ cheering and applause ] >> two days ago. [ cheering and applause ] >> we have a sanctuary city and they don't do what we need for law enforcement, we don't have to pay them any of that money, that's billions and billions and billions. [ cheering and applause ] >> wow, where did that come from? where did that come from? [ cheering and applause ] >> 40 million american families are enjoying an average of $2,200 nor their pocket thanks to a beautiful thing that republicans really don't know about too much. you know, the democrats like to take credit. it's called child tax credit. we took that. that was ivanka trump. ivanka trump.

she wanted that so badly. we've cut a record number of job-killing regulations because regulation is stealth had tax i, especially on the poor. we have cut more regulations in this administration in three years than any administration has cut in four years, in eight years, or in one case longer than that. you know who that was. good old fdr. we've ended the war in american energy, american energy was under siege and i'll tell you what, we don't want to talk negatively but if for any reason any of these characters get in there, you can forget -- i don't know how you're going to win texas, by the way, i don't know how you're going to win pennsylvania, by the way. i don't. they want to -- they don't want petroleum products. other than that, they're wonderful, right. how about this character beto. remember he said i was born to run. he was born -- that was a disaster. he said i was born -- anybody that says i was born to run, he

was born to do what i'm doing, i don't even say it and i won. [ laughter ] >> it's true. no, it's so presumptuous. i was born to run for president. welling then he came out against guns, religion and oil. and he comes from texas. and i said abraham lincoln couldn't win in texas without those. whatever happened to beto? oh, beto, come on bark on back,. he was born to run for president. he came down to less than 1%. how can you be less than 1%? you've got be really bad. the u.s. is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the entire world, by far. [ cheering and applause ] >> never again will our country be at the mercy of hostile foreign suppliers. america has declared energy independence. i declared it. we're energy independent. [ cheering and applause ] >> big thing.

it's a big deal. >> [ cheering and applause ] >> it's a big deal. you ever notice in the straits, we always took care, we never got 10-cents for it, we keep the straits open, nobody would dare mess around with all those countries that were making trillions and trillions and billions and billions. we kept those straits open. it was great, jeffrey. it was beautiful what we did for these other countries. they never paid us 10-cents. we kept them open, we would go and shoot at other ships and fight this one and fight iran and do we ever get paid for anything? right. now they're saying-you know, when they were blowing up ships last year they were saying we would love to get an american ship but they don't send too many of them. we have our own energy now. it's pretty good. gone way down. but you know who does get a lot of it, 60%. china. and i said so let me ask you why are we keeping the straits open

for china. and others. but china gets tremendous amount percentage wise, we keep it open for them. i don't know. we have a lot of really nice people running our country over the years. perhaps i'm not nice but i'm doing a great job for you. [ cheering and applause ] >> well, yet every democrat candidate wants to shut down american energy production. how do you do that? including oil, natural gas, clean coal and nuclear. they like wind. wind. [ laughter ] >> i won't repeat it. but last year the best line in the whole thing was wind, right, darling, i'd like to watch television. i'm sorry, alice, the wind's not blowing, you can't watch the debate. that was the best line. i'm not going to go through it now because i don't like to be

repetitive. like sleepy joe where he says the same thing four different times. he's got a bad habit. ladies and gentlemen of ohio, it's great be with you. joe, joe, you're in iowa. [ laughter ] >> that was seven times he's done that. i haven't done it once. if i did, you know what i'd do, i'd walk off the stage. there's nothing you can do to come back from that. you could be winston churchill, he was a great, great speaker. winston churchill was pretty good. you could be winston churchill for the rest of the speech and the press doesn't care. he said the other night, this was a beauty, sleepy joe, he said guns have killed 150 million people. and i'm watching. i said you're a great first lady, she's doing a great job, i said first lady --

[ applause ] >> doing a great job. [ cheering and applause ] >> she's doing a great job, very popular. very popular. great style, great style. loves our country. her father is here somewhere. where is victor? her father is here today. where is victor. he's someplace in this massive room. there he is. hello, victor. [ cheering and applause ] >> her father. great guy. but i said to our great first lady, first lady, -- i like calling her first lady. i love calling her -- first lady, she said it's okay, you can call me melania. [ laughter ] >> see, when i have fun like that, you know what's going to happen tomorrow? that will be a head liability he calls her -- headline.

he calls her first lady. they're dishonest people. i can have fun. remember i said russia, if you're listening, in front of 25,000 people, they cut it off at the end, so that you don't see the laughter, the joke, and they said he asked for help, right? russia, if you're listening, a very famous -- they cut that thing so quick at the end because they didn't want to hear the laughter in the place and me laughing. it was, boom. these are really dishonest people. but i said to her -- it's true. i said to her, let me ask you this, did he just say that we killed 150 million people. that's half of our population. this is a terrible event. we have to find out what's going on. this is bad. [ laughter ] >> this wasn't reported by the fake news. it's true. i said i've got to check that, first lady, because you know

what? if 150 million people were killed last year by guns, and they didn't report the story -- you see, they didn't -- they didn't report it. interestingly -- i said his debate is dead. nothing he can say. at the end they said his debate was great. if i would have said that, it would have been over. it only takes one little phrase for me, like a couple of words. if you mispronounce a word -- with all i speak, they say if he mispronounced the word "the," if you mispronounce "the," there's something going on. here's a guy who said they killed 150 million people with guns and nobody even talks about it. it is true, a lot of time he blows it with -- i don't do it. i don't need it yet. hopefully -- maybe some day i

will. you know what you can do, you write down the name of the state that you're speaking of. [ laughter ] >> and you put it up there. and whenever you're going to say the word, you look down, and up. i'm in florida today, folks. i'm in maryland. i'm in virginia. i'm in iowa. so they corrected him. the one time he said iowa and then they said no, no, idaho. [ laughter ] >> and he said didn't i say that. no, he didn't. he thought they were the same. now, he's going to have i think a pretty big win today. i think. based on the polls. i don't know, how the hell does he have a -- can you imagine? and i don't know. maybe we should -- i did a poll last night. should i do that here? am i allowed? you promise you're not going to charge me. you know, these pollsters, they're the other ones, like the fox pollster is the worst of

awful i don't know, fox is -- but pollsters -- fox is good. they're okay. but -- they're okay. they put certain people on. they have a good show and then they put the people on, the never trumpers on at the end. there's nothing you can do to recover from that. the pollsters are phony, a lot of them. some of it is worse than the journalists and reporters. last night i did it in south carolina. it was incredible. and we had -- what would you say, like madison square garden almost. it was packed, thousands and thousands of people. and we took a poll. who would be my best person to run against. who would i like -- who would i do best against, to put it in plain language, who the hell would i beat the easiest, right. and i took a poll and i'll tell you the results. let's do it here. this group is -- okay. so pocahontas we don't have to waste our time with. klobuchar, we don't have to

waste -- right. let's not waste a lot of time. okay. buttigieg, i don't see it. to me, every time i look at that face, i see alfred e. newman. it's alfred e. newman, mad magazine. all these beautiful young women up here they don't know what the hell i'm talking about. the old ones, the ones with the white hair, they know exactly -- they're laughing like hell. but it's true. somebody said use howdie dowdie. i said that's not good. alfred e. newman is perfect. you have to go back and get mad magazine which i guess is out of business for a long time, like most other magazines. it was one other things where i didn't add his name. then we went to mini mike.

i said i don't see it. should we add his name? i don't see it. he's going to have to spend a hell of a lot of money really fast. he's getting killed in call important ya. he's losing in texas. he's losing all over the place. how the hell do you spend that much money and lose? they had an article in all places in the new york times and it had the amount of personal money that somebody put up and how they did. and they -- they started off with mike bloomberg and i think he's like at $500 million, 500-more than 500. this is personal money. he writes checks like a drunken sailor if i can use that. how much? do you think those consultants -- i know some of those people. they're bad people. they are ripping him off. he's got a couple of people right at the top. they are ripping him off, they are laughing all the way to the bank. keep running, mike. mike, keep running. you're going to do it, mike. give us another 3, 400 million, i guarantee you the presidency,

mike. now he's looking -- i promise you 500 million and i'm down to 10%, what the hell are you doing to me, why did you make me do this? i know some of his people. they are ripping him off like you'd never believe. i said should we put mini mike in there. i don't see it? right. no. i don't see mini mike. you still have to -- you can't buy -- you can't buy an election. that's a good thing, not a bad thing. that's a good thing. there are a lot of campaign finance violations there. there's no way you can do what he's doing. you go into a town, give somebody a contribution, two days later a guy says i'd like to support mini mike bloomberg, there's something strange with that whole deal. we have two names. we have one, crazy bernie. he's crazy. and we have -- he's like a crazy professor. and we have the other one is sleepy joe biden. right.

so let's take a poll, we'll go biden first. scream like hell if you think i should run against him. is that okay? in other words, because we're going to beat him. who will we beat? so scream like hell. so sleepy joe biden. [screams] >> all right. all right. would you like me to run against him? crazy bernie sanders. [ cheering and applause ] >> can't charge me. you cannot charge me for that. that's going to -- matt's going to send me a bill for that. think of it, these pollsters, you ever see this crap. we interviewed 193 people. with a plus or minus three.

you have thousands of people, i got it for free. mercedes will send me a bill, i guarantee you. for a free poll. that happened last night too, i did the same thing. they think that crazy bernie -- how you could be easier to beat than joe. the guy can't put two sentences together. it's insulting how can you be easier. but he is more down the middle. everyone knows he's not a communist and with bernie there's a real question about that. but he's definitely a radical left socialist democrat and people know that. with joe, he's sort of down the middle, you know. the difference is, joe's not going to be running the government. he's just going to be sitting in a home someplace. and people are going to be running it for him. and they will be radical left socialists. so that's what you have to remember. there's no way he's going to be running the government. but we're reversing decades of trade policies, breaking up the

unholy alliance of lobbyists and globalists and special interests that bled our country, bled our factories and bled our people dry. we understand that conservative policies must conserve our jobs, conserve our manufacturing, and conserve our american way of life. what we've done for manufacturing, look at all the manufacturing jobs, they're all coming back. obama said never happen, never happen. and it would never happen. i said you can keep your doctor. why didn't they impeach him for saying that. remember 28 times, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. it was a ply. impeach -- a lie. impeach him. america lost one in four manufacturing jobs following the twin disasters of nafta and china's entrance into the wto. the worst two deals ever made in now i say -- with all the women, humankind. i used to say mankind.

now i say humankind. i don't use it that much. right? the women know what i'm talking about. the women get it better than the men. the women get it better. they named me time magazine person of the year. right. this year i lost to greta. greta. i lost to greta. i said who? i'm not going to get involved in that because last time i got in a little trouble. [ laughter ] >> but i lost to greta. but doesn't matter. i've won it enough. i mean, in all fairness, when the whole world evolves around this person, i don't say good, bad or -- you turn on that stupid cnn, you turn on msdnc, you turn on fox, every story is trump or trump related. if a plane goes down with 700

people on it, they don't even cover it anymore. it used be a big event. they don't cover it anymore. it's really unfair. but it's been -- by the way, have we all had a great time, though, this journey? [ cheering and applause ] >> right? this journey has been amazing. you know, i tell the story, a month before i ran i said to my wife, well, i'm thinking about it, didn't think too much about it, i thought about it like a day before i ran. but i remember seeing the new york times, came to my office, i held it up, like a thing you hand out as a grocery store, it would have blown away with a little wind, 2 miles an hour, it would have blown away. that was the new york times. now it's a vibrant paper. when i'm no longer here like in five years or nine years or 13 years or 17 years, 21, they

actually think i'm not leaving, you know. this crazy bill marr, you ever hear of this guy, he says you know he's not leaving. he has a guest, some guest that didn't have a clue. the guest he said you know he's going to win, you know that. he's going to one. you know he's going to win, don't you. like bill marr, a nut job, you know he's going to win and the guest says no, no, we're going to fight very hard, we think we have a good chance. no, no, he's going to win and then you know what, he's never leaving. he's never leaving. no, no, he's never leaving. no, no, he will never leave. i used to think he was kidding. he's not. he is a total nut job. this guy. but under my administration the great betrayal of america is over. it is no longer for sale. [ cheering and applause ] >> last month we ended the

nafta catastrophe and i signed the brand-new u.s., mexico, canada agreement into law, a great job. the usmca is a gigantic victory for farmers, ranchers, manufacturers and workers all across our country. by the way, speaking of farmers, something they don't know but they're learning fast, no more estate tax on your small farms, small businesses, small other things. [ cheering and applause ] >> no more estate tax. people don't talk about it. it's a big thing, big provision. big provision. if you love your children, it's great. if you don't love your children, it's requir irrelevant, don't le money for them. in years gone by, great farmers, have good land, good everything but don't make that much cash and the banks would come in, loan money to the children and the banks would end up owning the property and all hell was -- it was terrible. no more estate tax or as we call

it death tax. no more on small farms and small businesses. nobody talks about it. nobody talks about that but it's a big thing. if you love your children, if you don't -- does anybody here not love your children? raise your hand, please. look at that, not one hand. well, that's conservative people. they all love their children. [ cheering and applause ] >> there's one hand in the back. i'm not calling him. i also took the strongest ever action to confront china's illicit trade practice. you see what happened there. and our strategy worked. and we have a great relationship with china now. we have a very good relationship. they didn't even respect us. they were taking out $500 billion a year. we had a trade imbalance. we had a deficit of more than $500 billion with a "b" dollars a year. can you believe that? who the hell can sustain -- who wants to even talk about that.

we started charging tariffs. they hit our farmers. i gave our farmers everything that they took out and the money came from china because it came out of the tariffs and we had a lot of money left over. all complicated but not really complicated. no other president thought of it. now the farmers love me and we ended up making a great deal. but they loved me before. you know, the farmers when they go to cnn would go up, is it terrible what president trump is doing to you with the trade wars, they said no, it's hurt ming badly but the trade war is necessary and it should have been done years ago. everyone -- i've never heard anybody say different. the farmers are unbelievable. but i went to sonny purdue our secretary of agriculture, i said let me ask you, china's tough, they're smart. how much did they take out, $12 billion. how much did they take out this year, $16 billion. that was last year. i said $16 billion, $12 billion, good, we're going to give them back the $12 billion, we gave them back the 16, everything they took out.

i said what was the best they ever had with china. it was 16 billion. i said good, i'll reimburse them the 16 billion out of the tariffs that china is paying. and by the way, you know, china respects us. other presidents knew that they were getting ripped off. they didn't know what to do about it. they said they'll attack our farmers, all the farmers will go bust. they didn't know. charge them tariffs. pay them back and keep a hell of a lot more money than you're giving to the farmers and we kept tens of billions of dollars and we made our first deal and schumer went it's terrible, the deal, he took the tariffs -- nobody wanted tariffs until i taught them what tariffs are. it's terrible, he took the tariffs out. actually, i didn't. they're paying 25% on $250 billion. i don't know how we pulled off that one. but they're paying. but china's great and now they want to negotiate phase two because they want to stop paying the 25% on $250 billion.

otherwise we have no leverage. we have no leverage. but the farm ergs are -- farmers are the greatest. before they knew i was going to be able to reimburse them all that money that was taken out of their pockets, they said to me -- i had 25 farmers in the white house in the cabinet room. i use the cabinet room. everybody else used it only for the cabinet. i use it for everything but the cabinet. i use it for farmers. we have beautiful -- it's this incredible room. i said to the farmers, i said i want to give you back money, i want to giving you a subsidy. they didn't want it. everybody else-they didn't care what i used. i could use subdie, i could use welfare, any word i wanted. the farmers hated the word subsidy. circumstance we don't want anything many -- sir, we don't want anything. we want a level playing field. it's been this way for 20 years. it's been absolutely hurting us. they didn't want anything. and i said you know, are you serious. they said yeah, we just want a level playing field.

nobody can beat us and it's true. nobody can beat -- they want a level playing field. i said to myself -- can you page. everybody that comes in, countries, other businesses, everybody, they want money. farmers don't. they want a level playing field. that was at the bottom when they were looking -- it was looking pretty bad. now, china's going to be buying $50 billion worth of product. the most they ever got was 16. we agreed to 20. the final day they were getting the agreements ready, said how much are the farmers getting meaning how much is china going to purchase from the farmers. 20 billion. i said do me a favor, make it 50. they said 50. i said the farmers can do that much, can they. i said no. china said absolutely not. i said look, what does it mean. you've got 1.5 billion people, what the hell difference between 20 and 50, they said you're right, we'll give you 50. it's crazy. it's crazy. my only problem is i don't think the farmers can produce that

much. it's going to be very good to be a farmer when that whole thing kicks in. we understand that our first lady and highest and -- you have to remember this. when our first lady came out, she said to me today, say hello to everybody and she said that your first duty and your highest loyalty -- this was coming right from her-is to the american citizens and you really have to let the people know. this is melania told me this. can you believe this? she's like giving me a history lesson. our first lady is giving me a history -- our highest loyalty to the american people. i said okay. that was pretty good. thank you. thank you very much. i'll tell her. i'll tell her that was the single best line of the whole speech. nowhere has the american left more thoroughly violated this

principle than on immigration, illegal immigration costs american taxpayers hundreds of hundreds of billions of dollars a year, funds that could be used to improve schools, roads, hospitals and other vital services. instead, democrats want to take even more of your money to give illegal aliens free health care, free federal welfare, free education, they get treated better than they want to treat our military and our vets and i stopped it. but it's crazy. the democrat party's immigration policies empower blood thirsty cartels that murder and torture that smuggle and traffic innocent human beings, that flood our communities with poisonous drugs. the left's immigration policies are not compassionate. they're heartless, mercyless and cruel. countless americans are killed every year by criminal aliens,

illegal aliens that come in and they are in many cases very bad people. in houston, texas, an illegal alien was charged with the murder for killing a 75-year-old grandmother in her home, stabbing her with a vicious machete knife 13 times in the chest. in georgia, an illegal alien was charged with murder for killing, beheading and dismembering his neighbor. yet despite these travesties, the far left supports deadly sanctuary cities where people like that get protection. that release criminal alien predators into innocent communities rather than handing them over to our great heros of i.c.e. [ applause ] >> i.c.e. they take such abuse. i.c.e., the toughest gangs in the world, ms-13, they slice people up, i.c.e. takes them out by the thousands.

nobody else wants that job. the men over here don't want that job, i can tell you right now. they're tough and they love our country but they've got to be tough. last year california's sanctuary law forced a single county to release over 1,000 convicted criminal aliens and nearly 240 have already been arrested and they're looking for others. and those are just the crimes that we know about. montgomery county, maryland announced a sanctuary policy last july. since then, at least 1 10 illegl immigrants have been arrested for sex crimes including the rape of an 11-year-old girl. in seattle, officials released a known ms-13 -- think of this. this was a known ms-13 gang member who later beat a 16-year-old boy with a baseball bat and hacked him to death with a machete. the list goes on and on and on and these people are protected by their sanctuary city rules.

in my state of the union address, i called on congress to pass legislation allowing the victims of these deadly policies to sue the sanctuary cities for the pain, anguish and suffering they inflict on our people. [ cheering and applause ] >> everyone here today and patriotic citizens across our land agree with the fundamental truth, our country must be a sanctuary for law-abiding americans, not for criminal aliens. [ cheering and applause ] >> the left's crazy mantra is no borders, no nations, and no more deportation. they don't want to deport. crazy bernie said he'll never do a deportation. right. later he said.

i a -- remember what he say. i better say this stuff. i won't say he thinks the boston bombers, the boston guys, he said they have the right to vote. he said prisoners, in prison, have the right to vote. they said does that include the boston maniac that's scheduled to die, death penalty. does that include that? he said yes, he would get the right to vote. do you believe that. this guy would get the right to development i said i won't use that until later on and i used it today at cpac and now he'll find a way of getting out of it and i won't be able to use it against him in the campaign. see what i do here, matt. that's too bad. too early. i've got to wait until two months before the vote, right? right she's going yes, please wait. then you wouldn't have enjoyed that. but it's true. it's true. it's okay for him to vote. it's fine. he killed many people. badly maimed and wounded many

people and he's got the right to vote. can you believe it? this is where we've come? we believe in strong borders, sovereign nations and the prompt deportation of anyone who illegally breaks into our country. [ applause ] >> and thanks to our tireless efforts to secure the border, we have reduced illegal crossings by a staggering 75%. we have ended catch and release, the worst of all the loopholes. [ cheering and applause ] >> we have seized a record amount of drugs and deported a record number of gang members. we are building the powerful border wall. we're already up to 128 miles of border wall and you think that was easy.

[ cheering and applause ] >> build that wall! build that wall! >> it's being built. it's being built to the highest standard you can build it. you know, just to show you again about the news. so we're building it and part of it's desert, it's rough territory and very tough territory in many ways. but the winds are blowing and they're putting it up and it's 30 feet high, steel and concrete both. you have to be able to see through it. it's the ultimate wall -- we went to border patrol. they did studies. they hired people, climbers. what's the hardest to climb. the piece on top, that's called an anti-climb provision. supposedly makes it heard. who knows. but i said do it. another couple of bucks. but we put up a wall and it was blowing 50, 60 miles an hour in this territory. the concrete was just poured. it was soaking wet.

the wall came down and we end up with a big story. trump's wall gets blown over by the wind. that's what it is. but i explained. because when you have twitter, or you have so many millions of people, all you have to do is say "scam." we can get the word out. now we lifted it right back up and put it back and we held that sucker in place until the concrete dried. and they don't like to report that. really -- that's what we have to go through. it's a very sad situation. another grave threat facing our country -- by the way, on the wall, we're up to over -- almost 130 miles. think of that. but i mean, really -- think of it. then they say all right, so he's building the wall. you have to understand, i had an entire party against me and a party that controls the house. we're going to take back the house. we have to take it back. [ cheering and applause ] >> we have to take it.

these lunatics -- from these lunatics. we have to take back the house. [ applause ] >> we have to take it. think of that. so now they like to say all right, so he's building the wall, but mexico's not paying for it. yes, they are. you know what i mean. they are paying for it. they're paying for it. they're -- what we're going to do -- no, they're paying for it. they're okay with it because they understand that's fair. but, no, mexico's paying for it and it's -- it's better than the wall that was projected. they're doing it at a higher level. we have so many gadgets on that wall, you wouldn't believe it, sensors. remember, they wanted drones. they said he doesn't need a wall. i tell people, i made one big mistake. i should have said instead of we will build a wall, people went crazy. we were doing this for years.

i could get elected twice over the wall. can you believe it. people go crazy. just take a look. we have a wall. people want a wall. and what are the two things no matter how technological we get with the computers and the airplanes and everything is going, two things will never change. a wall and a wheel. right. a wheel and a wall. and if you come back 1,000 years from now, it will still be a wall and a wheel. remember they used to say he doesn't need a wall. we'll give him a drone. oh, that's great. we can have a drone watching everybody pour across. but the mistake i made, i should have said we will not build the wall. then they would have made me build a wall. right? i would have had all the money i could have gotten. it could have been so much easier. instead i had to go through years. we won all of those cases. they got sued by everybody. we got sued by politicians that didn't know they were politicians. we had a lot of suits that we won. we won all those suits.

another grave threat facing our country is the effort from washington democrats to completely demolish our health care system, jeopardizing the health of millions of people. while congressional democrats embrace crazy bernie's socialist health care takeover. we are i defending america's rit to keep the doctor and plan of your choice, we're ending surprise medical building, we are imposing price transparency, we are protecting our veterans and we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions. health care is a big, big part of what we're doing. democrats have declared they're unlimited support for extreme late term abortion, ripping babies straight from the mother's womb, right up until the very moment of birth. and that is why i've asked congress to prohibit late term abortion of babies because every child is a sacred gift from god. [ cheering and applause ]

>> thank you. in my state of the union address, i also asked congress to pass legislation providing 1 million american children access to school of choice because no child should ever be trapped in a failing government school. and with the help of many of the people in this room today, we passed criminal justice reform to reduce recidivism and to help former inmates successfully rejoin society. we are helping prisoners like you wouldn't believe, people that are in like alice johnson, you saw alice johnson. right? she served 22 years, made a phone call, and she's not trying to defend herself from the phone call. 22 years she had another 20 or

so to go and we got her out. she's a great woman. through our pledge to america's workers, employers are providing millions of marginalized workers with the skill they need to transition from government dependence to self reliance. that's what we need. we need people. to defend the rule of law, we have confirmed a record number of judges who will interpret the constitution as written. that will be nice. [ applause ] >> and we have appointed our two great new supreme court justice as i said, neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh. [ cheering and applause ] >> as the radical left moves aggressively to curtail freedom of speech, we are proudly defending free speech including our college campuses. any college -- [ cheering and applause ] >> -- that refuses to respect

your first amendment rights now risks the loss of billions and billions of federal taxpayer dollars. [ cheering and applause ] >> usa! usa! usa! usa! >> i signed that a few months ago because these colleges, they take our money and they don't let people speak. for now, they won't take our money and i guess they can do whatever they want but they're not going to get money. it's billions of dollars we're talking about. we're also combating anti-semitism on college campuses. [ cheering and applause ] >> we're stopping the flow of taxpayer money to colleges and universities that support anti-semetic hate. and we've invested nearly $2.2 trillion to build up the unmatched strength of the united states military.

$2.2 trillion. [ cheering and applause ] >> and for the first time in over 70 years, the air force being the last, we created a new branch of the american armed forces called the space force. [ cheering and applause ] >> together, we have revitalized the values, traditions and principles that have always defined american greatness. citizens of every age, race, color and creed are rejecting the left's insanity and joining us in the fight to save this glorious names that's what we're doing, -- glorious nation. that's what we're doing, we're saving this nation. every day the movement grows bigger and bolder and broader and america's future gets brighter, brighter and brighter. our movement is united by a towering spirit of patriotism, a profound and abiding love for our fellow americans and a deep ref republicans for the rights and -- reverence given to us by

the hand of all mighty god. we know that america is the strongest force for good in the history of the world and we know that america is the home of the toughest men and the strongest women ever to walk the face of the earth. [ cheering and applause ] >> this is the home of our ancestors, carved out of the wilwilderness, the home of our forefathers shed their blood. the home of our children and this is the home that we want this is the home that we want our children toe to inherit. we will love and cherish and protect this nation forever. for all of the soaring heights that we've reached, we know that there is still more records to be shattered, new summits to be

scaled, more tr triumphs to be realized and more amazing history just waiting to be written. the american adventure has only just begun. with your help, and the good lord's grace, we will continue to push onward to our nation's magnificent destiny. we will continue to make our republic the inspiration, the glory and the envy of the world, as long as we are confident in our values, loyal to our citizens, and faithful to our god, there is no limit to what we can achieve. the united states of america will always march on to victory. america is thriving like never before and ladies and gentlemen, the best is yet to come. [ cheering and applause ] >> i want to thank matt.

i want to thank mercedes. i want to thank the great patriots of cpac. god bless you. god bless america and we will see you next year. thank you very much. [ cheering and applause ] ♪ arthel: ladies and gentlemen, the best is yet to come. from president trump as he wraps up nearly an hour and 25 minutes there in cpac. at some times he was part commander in chief, some times part comedian, getting laughs from the crowd there, rowdy cloud there. president trump mentioned the usual crowd pleasers and said he will be back at cpac next year as president. the president took time to tout his accomplishment as president. but there he goes and now cpac 2020 is in the books.

eric. eric: arthel, we saw what was just an opening and preview in a sense of the campaign. jamie weinstein is here, here, f the jamie weinstein podcast. according to the president, democrats are socialists want to take your money, they support illegal aliens, he took on china trade. the economy's booming. he's ending the war in afghanistan and the administration is on top of coronavirus. a lot that he can run on and the democrats will have to face. >> it was a stunning performance, really. you know, there's no question there was political overtones to it. he hit on a lot of campaign themes, a lot of classics but what struck me the most, eric, i don't know if you've ever seen jackie mason live. i've seen him a kim times. i think cpac just saw the world's greatest jackie mason impersonator perform tonight. he was a comedian.

he hit all of his opponents. he had a lot of jokes there. i think there were notes on the tell prompter that he would sometimes read off of. he would use that as a riff to riff off of other candidates which serves the purpose of supporting his political campaign which is to brand his opponents in various ways, whether that's mini me as he calls mike bloomberg or sleepy as he calls joe biden or crazy as he calls bernie sanders. what we saw -- it's up to you, i'll let the viewer decide if they thought it was presidential but it was certainly entertaining. that's why news outlets cover it. that's why they covered it in 2016 over a lost other candidates. frankly, if he does performances like that, they're likely to cover his speeches wall to wall in 2020 while maybe not joe biden. eric: that's interesting. he does bring life when he starts riffing. can you imagine being the person who does the tele prompter with

these teaches. i know jay ky mason. i -- jackie mason. he ebbin echos ed koch. it comes out in an entertaining way. politically it can be a forceful way. here is some of what he said during the speech about some the potential democratic opponents. >> that's why we'll probably end up with crazy bernie. he's crazy. we've got some beauties. we've got sleep owy joe, crazy bernie. we've got mini mike, i think he's out of it. i would like to spend $700 million and end up with nothing. medicine any -- mini mike. i know him well. eric: you can hear the laughter. he's making his point very strategically like a knife, a surgeon's knife. >> no question. he's actually a talented ms-13 comedian. some of the lines there. -- talented comedian.

donald trump may be the best of the bunch. so he's quite talented there. i covered a lot of cpac. i've covered cpac especially before donald trump was elected president. i'm not sure that the crowd was cheering necessarily for the issues he was running on. some of them certainly were and at the end he touched on a lot of issues that excited people. i think half that crowd, if in four years ago under the obama administration someone came out and told them that president obama just struck a deal with the taliban that's going to release 5,000 american prisoners, you would get boos. here, they cheer. it's donald trump the personality and donald trump the person at is why i believe he won in 2016. and donald trump the brand and personality is what's going to put him in a very good position to win in 2020. eric: very good position in 2020 sales jamie weinstein. this on the day of the south carolina primary. we'll see what happens with mr. biden, the former vice president. jamie, thank you. good to see you.

>> thank you. arthel eric: washington state governor jake insley declared a state of emergency in his state after the very first coronavirus death has been confirmed on u.s. soil. hello, i'm eric sean, this is america's news headquarters. arthel: i'm arthel neville. president trump announcing new travel restrictions at a news conference earlier amid a growing global outbreak. at least 2900 deaths are linked to the coronavirus and more than 85,000 cases confirmed worldwide worldwide. here at home, there are at least 62 confirmed cases as well as one death. the president today seeking to reassure the public telling americans there is, quote, no reason to panic. >> it's a tough one. but a lot of progress has been made. additional cases in the united states are likely. but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover.

arthel: christina coleman is following the story from the west coast newsroom. christina. >> reporter: a medically high risk man in his 50s from washington state who died is the first coronavirus phi at that time in the us. -- fatality in the u.s. his case is an instance of community spread. federal officials sent condolences and prayers to the family. >> ensure the family they're on the hearts of every american and those that are continuing to struggle and in some cases in icu units can be assured of the prayers of millions of americans. >> reporter: washington's governor also released a statement saying, quote, it is a sad day in our state as we learn that a was washingtonian has did from the rye just. virus. the governor announced a new emergency because of the new

cases. the investigation is now centering around a long-term health care facility, a resident and health care worker there both tested positive and more than 50 other people at that facility are showing symptoms. washington is one of the three states that has had someone with a presumptive case of the virus with no recent travel or contact with someone with the illness. these cases indicate possible community spread in california, oregon and washington state. the cdc is trying to track down the source of the illness in these different communities. >> so i just want to emphasize again that the americans, independent of where they live in this nation, are at low risk. all right. and we're going to continue to evaluate aggressively these unlinked cases as we see them. >> reporter: the coronavirus task force announced further efforts to protect americans today. the u.s. state department is issuing i issuing the highesl travel advisory, urging

americans not to travel to regions most impacted by the virus in italy and south korea. they also include iran, including foreign nationals who visited iran within the last 14 days. there's more than 40 million face masks in the us. federal officials plan to have mill yoons more available each mother -- millions more available each month as a precaution. officials and congress are working together to come up with a supplemental spending bill to help fight this virus. eric and arthel. arthel: christina, thank you very much for that report. eric: now to politics and the presidential race as voters in south carolina head to the polls today for the first in the south primary. 54 delegates are up for grabs and the result of course can help shape a very crowded democratic field. there will be no rest for the weary because super tuesday is only three days away. we have team fox news coverage for you from the campaign trail.

peter doocy covering former vice president joe biden's campaign who is looking for his first win. let's start with brian llenas at a polling location in columbia, south carolina with what is on the voters' minds. hey, brian. >> reporter: hey, eric. good evening. south carolina officials say they are very confident that turn glou -- turnout in today's primary will be substantially higher than what they were expected. party officials are confident that voter turnout will exceed that of 2016 and approach the voter turnout historic numbers of 2008. originally officials thought turnout would be between 289 and 350,000. they now think it will exceed that. in 2016, some 370,000 voters came out and the year that hillary clinton won. in 2008, over 570,000 primary voters came out the year barack obama won.

the higher the voter turnout, the stronger and longer the momentum boost could be for the eventual winner. >> burnout in the democratic presidential primary -- turnout in the democratic presidential primary was a fraction of what it that was 2008. it's not only a test of who african americans prefer, it's a test of enthusiasm. >> reporter: good turnout is hopeful news for billionaire tom steyer who has spent over $13 million on tv ads and mailers in south carolina. outspending all of the other candidates combined. he's hoping new voters and young black voters will carry him here. bernie sanders, the senator, is hoping new voter turnout will lead to an upset win for him in south carolina over vice president joe biden who is heavily favored. 60% of south carolina's democratic primary voters are black and we spoke to some of those voters about the field. >> what about sanders? >> he's crazy.

to think that this country will ever turn itself around and become a socialist society, it's just not going to happen. >> had to think about it, had think about it all the way up to they this point of thinking over here and i think my vote will be with warren. >> i'm torn between bernie and warren right now. i'm waiting until i get there to make the final decision. >> reporter: and eric, for the first time in a state-wide election here in south carolina, these express voting machines are being used. voters go up to it, they insert a blank white piece of paper, that's their ballot, inside the machine they make their vote on the touch screen, it prist on the paper ballot and they scan it and along goes the vote. that is all for security and they hope -- so far, it's been going very smoothly. eric: it's so important with the paper vote. polls close less than two hours from now. arthel: it could be a do or die

moment for joe biden as he looks to reenergize his campaign. the former vice president today expressing some optimism. south carolina could bode well for him on super tuesday. >> all i know is that i think i'm going to do well here. and i think that's going to put me in a position to do well in north carolina and alabama and other states, i think in the democratic ply marry i can do -- primary i can do very well. i don't think it will be over after super tuesday. arthel: go to peter doocy, live in columbia, south carolina with more. hi, peter. >> reporter: arthel, joe biden just called his shot predicting he is going to sweep the south during an address of super tuesday's north carolina. >> in just a few hours from now i believe we're going to win again next door and we're going to begin this -- look, this fall we're going to compete. i got criticized about, i don't know, i guess about two months ago, i said we're going to win.

i'm going to campaign in the south, we're going to win in the south and they said isn't that awful presumptuous. >> reporter: biden hasn't won anything yet but his campaign is hoping for what they call a biden bounceback. he claims the campaign has been raising $1 million a day for a week and he believes a strong finish here will mean even more money for his campaign. the former vp told profiters today he doesn't need to -- reporter today he doesn't need to win by any particular a he got a jump when james clyburn endorsed biden, something he talked about this morning. >> he's been coming in and out forever, it's nothing to walk into a restaurant down in call charleston and see joe and jill sitting there, not politicking, not asking anyone for a vote but just carrying on their lives. that to me says something.

>> reporter: the polls close here in less than two hours and shortly afterwards we expect to see the former vp here in the arena where the south carolina game cox play volleyball. arthel: i love volleyball. what about you, peter doocy? >> reporter: of course. my height helps. arthel: that's a good point. peter, thank you. wasn't to let everybody know we'll have special coverage on the south carolina primary throughout the night. special report anchor brett behr will have live results, plus analysis, that will start when the polls close at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. at 6:00 eastern, jon scott will be here with the fox report. you can catch all of it right here on the fox news channel. eric: pea first really, really-peter is really, really tall. president trump taking credit during the cpac speech taking credit for the peace deal aimed at ending the country's longest war and allowing the president

to begin his long proposed promise of with drawing troops from overseas. >> there hasn't been a moment like this. we've had very successful negotiations. we think they'll be successful in the end. the other side's tired of war. everybody's tired of war. that's been a particularly long and gruesome one. eric: will it stick? we have more from kabul. hi, greg. >> reporter: it could be at least the beginning of the end of that long war. yes. signed today, presided over by secretary of state pompeo, an agreement between the united states and the taliban. it calls for the withdrawal of u.s. troops down to 8600 in the next month with much of the remainder following that. that's based, however, on the enemy, the taliban, following through on several conditions including the severing of ties

with other terror groups. we asked secretary of defenses pedefenseesper here in kabul abe risks and hopes for this agreement. take a listen. >> i think this is an historic day that offers a great deal of hope but we know that it will be a windy road, a bumpy road, may have setbacks but we're committed to our afghan partners with our nato allies to follow the path of peace and stability. the only way forward, the best way forward is through a political agreement. >> reporter: now, president ghani and others were in attendance at a ceremony here marking the agreement. now according to many comes the hard part, talk with the taliba. we heard from officials about the gratitude for those americans who have given their lives in this very long effort. and that was underscored very

strongly to us by the commander of u.s. troops here right now, also the nato forces, general austin miller. take a listen. >> one of the things we never foregeneverrer forget is since 1 this has been about safeguarding our national interest and that continues to be a strict objective as we look at it today. and those sacrifices first of all not only the service members but also to their families, that's what it was about, about protecting. they'll always be remembered. >> reporter: people who lost their lives of course including the afghans who have suffered for all of these decades. for that reason, a lot of people here are just hoping this deal might work. back to you, eric. eric: certainly hope that it does. greg, thank you. arthel. arthel: former vice president joe biden is riding the momentum from a big endorsement in south carolina as voters there out

today at the polls, but in an open democratic primary, that means republicans can vote too. could that affect the final vote tally? we all use our phones very differently. we need a great network all the time.

arthel: south carolina is castg their ballots today in the pal palmetto state. joe biden is getting a boost this week with an endorsement from house majority whip jim clyburn. joining us now is andy shane, andy is the editor, reporter and reporter of the columbia -- you're the editor, reporter and columbia bureau chief for south carolina's oldest and largest newspaper, the post and courier. i was on your website today. we'll take a look at that in a moment. i want to share, andy, with you and your audience, we are getting fox polling early results of the mood of voters there and the most important issue to south carolina we're seeing is health care, number one, second place is followed by jobs and the economy, third place is climate change. and these are some biggies, different candidates that will resonate with them and play well

for them. what was the headline of today's post and courier and now that we're less than two hours from the polls closing, has that headline or narrative changed from this morning? >> not yet. i think obviously we'll know a little bit more in a little under two hours when polls close in south carolina. turnout has been fairly moderate. i would say. it was -- we did see a big uptick in early and absentee voting in south carolina. we passed the mark a couple days before the end of absentee voting, the mark that was set in 2016. so we're looking for a pretty good turnout here, not quite what we saw probably in 2008 when barack obama first ran. what we're getting a sense of, folks making up their minds while waiting in line to vote, hearing a lot about that. the sense again from the polls and from what we have just really been seeing for the past year here in south carolina is

that joe biden has been the favorite. he remains the favorite. i think it's expected that he's going to win here. i think the question is going to be how big of a win will joe biden walk away with. arthel: that's a big deal, you're right. to mr. biden. i read that 40% of south carolinians made up their mind in the last three days. i want to go back to the new fox polling that i'm receiving here in my hands, just gauging the mood of voters with health care being the most important issue to south carolinians, second place is jobs and the economy, third place is climate change. so what are the issues that are top of mind of african americans in south carolina and which of those issues intersect with all voters in this state as you see it. i just gave you our polling. you're there. i want to hear what you're seeing too. >> that pretty much mimics what we've seen in polling and what we've been hearing from voters. education has always been a

top issue, especially among african americans, and all south carolinians and south carolina democrats. health care has been the top issue in the polling that we've been doing with research for the past year, it's been fairly consistent that that's been the top issue. that's the reason why bernie sanders has remained a strong candidate in south carolina because people are interested in some of the things that he is saying. but at the same time, joe biden has been the main candidate, really since even before he got in the race. and i think that's what's going to be tough for anyone to overcome at this point. arthel: i'm sure mr. biden will tout obamacare because millions of americans are depending on obamacare. let me go to your website, the post and courier's website. i was on there today. president trump, here's -- let me show you full screen of what you wrote. he said president trump hit the common themes of his campaign

rallies in front of a crowd on friday, adding a new twist, accusing democrats of plight politicizing the novel coronavirus, quote, they tried the impeachment hoax mr. trump added to boos to thousands of people who killed the coliseum. some of them waited days to get inside and, quote, this is the new hoax, the president added. do south carolinians think the virus is a hoax? >> you know, it's been so new. we haven't had really a chance to talk to folks at length about that. again, when it comes to the partisan issue of whether-when it comes to partisan issues in south carolina, looking at the state overall, south carolina is image opter republican state. -- majority republican state, a state that supports president trump very hand ely here.

arthel: coronavirus shouldn't be a partisan issue. >> again, the issue i guess is what -- obviously donald trump came to north charleston the day before the primary, shared his take on things. he's done this in other early primary states by visiting ahead of the primary, the caucus, to remind folks that come november he thinks he should be their choice. arthel: oud. anything you want to leave me with? you've got 30 seconds. >> oh, sure. you know, i think we're looking at the democratic primary in south carolina. one of the interesting things of course, one of the stories has been tom steyer, the billionaire activist. he has courted the black vote very hard in this state. he has worked to get black law lawmakers, black politicians to join his campaign as well as worked to get hbtus. it will be interesting to see if he can vault over bernie sanders into second here in south

carolina. is that something that he can carry forward into super tuesday and make it i guess a billionaire on billionaire clash with michael bloomberg. arthel: yes or no. i'm not asking for your opinion but your analysis as you see it in terms of how you covered this, does joe biden walk away with the lion's share of the vote or no? >> with the lion's share of the vote? again, it seems like, again, based on the polling, based on what we're hearing anecdotally he should be able to come away with a double digit victory that he was hoping for to carry him through super tuesday but we'll see when the votes get tallied after 7:00. arthel: andy shane, editor, reporter and columbia bureau chief for south carolina's oldest and largest newspaper, the post and courier. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. eric: senator bernie sanders has south carolina in the rear view mirror even before the polls close. he's looking ahead to super

tuesday where he hopes to rack up the delegate count but he is not only one who is campaigning in virginia. mike bloomberg is too. we're live on the campaign trail with the latest. whatever happens out there today, remember,

the enthusiasm of his supporters. we have seen the campaign announce they've had 26,000 different people out there, sorry, 26,000 doors knocked on for bernie sanders today. he lost virginia's primary four years ago to hillary clinton. he says this time is different. senator sanders talked about his supporters early today and made it clear how he feels about one of his democratic rivals. >> and we're going to win this election because the american people are tired of a corrupt political system. we're tired of people like mayor bloomberg or anybody else. we are a democracy, not an oligarchy. we don't want billionaires buying elections. >> reporter: now, michael bloomberg doesn't appear to be intiintimidated. he held a rally in northern virginia and he kept his attacks on president trump. he brought up the last democratic nominee, hillary

clinton. >> it's not as if this country was a utopia for women before 2016 and you can just go ask my friend hillary clin clinton. she'll tell you. we'll have a big day on tuesday, it certainly won't be because of the men. >> reporter: we expect to see former vice president joe biden on the ground here in virginia. he won the endorsement of senator tim kaine on friday. the biden campaign certainly will be out here to capitalize on that. right now, from where we are, you can see people are lined up and fired up for bernie sanders happening later on tonight. arthel: mark, thank you very much. eric. eric: former new york city mayor mike bloomberg would say he's funding a campaign, getting that out while trying to make his mark, despite not being in the ballot in the first three early voting contests. his strategy is to hit it big on super tuesday. he is stumping in north carolina as is amy klobuchar. allison barber is live in charlotte where both are holding

campaign events. >> reporter: 110 delegates are up for grab in this state. four candidates had events in north carolina on their schedule today. senator amy klobuchar and mike bloomberg will be in charlotte this evening, speaking at the blue celebration, hosted by north carolina democrats. >> i'll have a big day on tuesday. >> i've run this add straightforwardly as i can. i haven't had a bunch of viral moments. >> reporter: obviously, super tuesday is a big day for mike bloomberg. it is the first time he'll be on ballot. the bloomberg campaign said they are heavily prioritizing north carolina, spent more than $14 million on advertising in this state alone. they have over 125 staffers on the ground, not including volunteers and eight offices. right now, north carolina seems to be a three-way tie. the latest state poll has biden, sanders and bloomberg within six points of each other. bloomberg has strongly criticized president trump and

his handling of the coronavirus. he released an ad about it earlier this week and now we're told he's going to air what his campaign is describing as the taped three minute address to the nation tomorrow night at 8:30 during commercial breaks on nbc and cbs. listen here. >> as americans, we face many challenges before and we have overcome them together by looking out for one another and i'm confident that is how we will get through this one as well. i'm mike bloomberg and i approved this message. >> reporter: senator amy klobuchar has struggled to gain traction despite her strong finish in new hampshire. people suggested some even told her she should drop out of the race. she has pushed back on those suggestions, saying that so far only 3% of people have actually voted and her campaign likes to point out that in the raw vote totals so far, they are still in third place. when she makes it here tonight to north carolina it will be her

fourth visit to a super tuesday state since this morning. eric. eric: allison, thanks so much. arthel: it will be a battle royale on super tuesday with the 2020 democrats duking it out for delegates in 14 states. let's bring in john busy now, associate editor at the wall street journal and fox news contributor. you say south carolina it is make and break for joe biden. tell us about that. >> make or break, but it could be make and break. in other words, he has got to do well in south carolina and it can't just be by a couple of percentage points. the expectations have been that this was biden's state, he was going to take this pretty much from the get-go and he's still ahead, comfortably ahead in the polls. if he comes in just a couple points ahead of his nearest competitor, sanders, that's going to be a disappointment for him, given what's happened in the previous primaries and he's going into super tuesday having banked a lot of his time and

money on south carolina hoping that he gets a big surge that kind carries a wave of support for biden through the 14 states that will be voting on tuesday. if he comes in light, it's make or break for him now but it could be make and break in that he makes it in south carolina but not so well that it really helps him anywhere else and it finally breaks his campaign. arthel: does he have to do so well in south carolina, super tuesday is three days, four days away. wouldn't you think the campaign would say listen, regardless of what happens in south carolina, you keep going. >> oh, he goes into super tuesday no matter what. i would think. but he's thin in a lost these states. his organization and this has been the problem for the biden campaign from the get-go, it's thin in states like california that will vote on tuesday and has a huge number of delegates where sanders and bloomberg and others have bill infrastructures built out, he's not been able to

do that. there's a pac supporting him, planning an ad spend for him in the triple digits. the other candidates are in the seven digits. so it's not like he's got a lot of sort of a wave behind him as it is. he's got to do really well if south carolina to catch up to the pack. arthel: are you surprised how well sanders is doing in south carolina? >> it's interesting that he's doing well in south carolina and that he is spending his time in virginia and he's hoping to show that virginia, which is a purplish state at this point, it went to hillary clinton, that he can do -- it has a large enough african american population as south carolina does, that he can appeal to that demographic and to conservative virginia voters as a signal to the broader political pack that i am actually viable against trump in a state like virginia. it will be very interesting to watch what does happen to virginia on tuesday. not just virginia, but

california and texas which between the two of them have about half the total delegates that will be voted into the slots for the candidates on tuesday. arthel: and mike bloomberg comes online on tuesday. >> he does. now, see, this is the big question after all the ad spend, after kind of having sort of an uneven performance in the debates, what happed happens with bloomberg now that the voters have a chance to actually say we like him or we don't. at some point the moderates in the pack, if they really want to go up against sanders, are going to have to co-aless. they can't split the vote between bloomberg, clop char, biden and -- klobuchar and biden and abou buttigieg. they have to think are we in some way going to decide we're going to support one candidate against sanders, before the convention, or are they hoping for a brokered convention.

arthel: that will be chaos if that happens, i think. >> it will be interesting to watch, great to cover. arthel: that's for sure. john busy, i have to leave it there. always a pleasure. and we'll be right back. you know what's good about this? your sign's pointing at my sign, so people are gonna look at my sign. switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. you know, like the sign says.

yah, it's just a cold. it's not just a cold if you have high blood pressure. most cold medicines may raise blood pressure. coricidin hbp is the... ...#1 brand that gives... powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure. >> i think it's important to win, period. obviously, the bigger you win anywhere, the better bump you get. i don't think there's any number i have to have. i don't think i have to have-win by two or 10. some polls are higher than that. but the bigger the win, the bigger the bump. eric: that's former vice president go joe biden, bankingn a win in south carolina. he's looks to shore up his campaign. the primary voting has just over an hour to go. how could the results tonight impact super tuesday. amy, great to see you. >> good to see you ex-the former vice president really needs a boost tonight.

will it be enough do you think to block bernie? >> i think it's likely too late. i think biden will win south carolina but the idea that he's going to come in with the kind of vote share that the polls suggest, i just don't think it's possible. you have this aggressive well-publicized republican campaign to go in, if you support donald trump in his open primary and vote for bernie sanders, then you have passionate bernie sanders followers, bernie sanders having done this four years a having more money and a better organization, biden has been limping along with not a lot of money until the last couple days. the clyburn endorsement came pretty late. i don't think this will be enough to turn things around when super tuesday hits three days later. the party figured out too late that sanders outfoxed them, made them change the rules, is cleaning up in delegates and the

moderate lane is split. i think it's hard to say that everything could change by tuesday to reverse the direction. eric: you make a point in terms of the amount. there will be the expectations game. he wins by three, that's not enough. he wins by 20 -- everyone will be spinning this, depending upon what the margin of victory potentially would be for mr. biden. >> right. i will promise you this. he made it clear. even if it's 3%, he's going to go on. you can't break joe biden's optimism. people are telling him he's the only hope the party has to beat trump. they're begging him to say. there are anti-sanders super pac. there's all sorts of effort. i'm saying it's too late. joe biden will stay in no matter what the margin is. eric: president trump spoke at cpac this afternoon. here's a little taste about what he said about goa and th goa joe others. >> they think crazy bernie, how could he be easier to beat than

joe. the guy can't put two sentences together. it's insulting. how can you be easier? he is more down the middle. everyone knows he's not a communist and with bernie there's a real question about that. the difference is, joe's not going to be running the government. he's going to be sitting in a home someplace. [ laughter ] >> and people are going to be running it for him. eric: he just hit some of his main themes right there, a preview of the campaign. >> well, it's very obvious to those of us who talk to these campaign experts, eric, that all along the contender that the president feared the most is joe biden. he got impeached for it. he tried to change the fortunes of joe biden. i think he hurt him a lot. i have to till, if you look at the polling matchups including fox news' polling, biden has the most broad yo appeal in the genl election, period. that's not the contender that the republicans want to face. so they're rooting for bernie sanders. they've been open about that. bernie sanders will really i

think cost the democrats their house majority if he's at the top of thei the ticket. i don't think they can win back any senate seats. i think it will be a real slaughter. joe biden is the one republicans fear no matter what they say about him. eric: finally, what do you predict for tuesday? >> i think it's going to be muddled. i think bernie sanders is going to take california, have really good showings in a lot of places but biden is back up because bernie talks about castro, it's more muddled than it looked a week ago. he's going to slowly do a delegate march and he's threatening the party at the convention to not block him with a pleu plurality. eric: if they get to a brokered convention with the super delegates. man. arthel: tomorrow is the first day of spring, eric, as far as the weather forecasters are concerned. so will march come in like a lion? we'll find out in our weather
