♪. pete: i don't know if you were watching. they called it in 30 seconds for joe biden last night. jedediah: that is a great song. he was trailing in the news. he needed everyone talking about him and potential to be the come back kid. it was interesting. i like it spicy. i would like to see joe biden make a little spicy.

dean: i don't know if there was relief there and very thankful to jim clyburn who helped him carry this -- pete: big question, dean. big endorsement. south carolina is the big firewall? is this the big win joe was always counting on? or preview of democrats flirted with bernie. we want the safe pick who is not a socialist who we think we could challenge president trump even though we watched the debates and is terrible at them? that is the resounding question going for here. super tuesday just looms and right there, big delicate counts on the board. jedediah: i think joe biden was counting on the win. i don't think he expected it to be quite the win. and i think democrats saw those videos of bernie sanders talking about fidel castro. pete: griff jenkins joins us

live in south carolina with the highlights. griff, you stayed up so we didn't have to. griff: pete, jed, dean, your question is the right one. south carolina was the first state with heavy democratic boat. joe biden won in massive fashion. clearly the clyburn endorsement helped. this being the first test of black voters. remember they are very fond of past president barack obama. biden is making it clear he is only man to stop the president. >> the democrats want a nominee who is a democrat. an obama-biden democrat. option of winning big or losing big. that is the choice. we need to build on the coalition, the legacy of the most successful president of our lifetime, barack obama. [cheering] griff: look at the numbers. you see biden more than doubled

sanders, 48.4, 19.1. steyer, 11.33. sanders moved on to virginia, one of the 14 super tuesday states. he is downplaying the thumping he took here at the hands of joe biden, listen. >> we won the popular vote in iowa. [cheering] won the new hampshire primary. [cheering] we have won the nevada caucus. [cheering] but you cannot win them all. griff: despite that third place finish, businessman tom steyer calling it quits after the palmetto state, listen. >> let me say this i of course will be supporting i said from the beginning, every democrat a million times better than trump. trump is a disaster. [cheering] griff: now clyburn will continue

on the campaign trail with biden. we will see him again. of course, biden will try to continue to get minority vote but it is warren, buttigieg, klobuchar who got to prove they can get some minority voters as we go to super tuesday where there is 14 states. more than 1300 delegates. there is only 54 here. 1300 in just 4hours -- 48 hours. it will be interesting when mike bloomberg jumps in the state when he has been in places like california and texas which have giant pots of pledged delegates. pete: the stronger biden is, less people look to bloomberg. he can change his tie. dean: i was focused on his dancing. he danced himself right out of that race there. $144 million, that is what he spent of his own money.

it was pretty much a anti-trump campaign anyway. a lot more people know who tom stier is now. jedediah: klobuchar shouldn't be too far behind bowing out at this point. i like klobuchar off the stage. she is more of a moderate person. terribly reasonable to the likes of bernie sanders but i don't think this will work out for her. biden keeps talking about president obama. he keeps make that as a focal point. it is interesting to me that president obama has not said anything he knows joe biden is at jeopardy. people said he will sit back. but at some point will he come to save in this guy? he was your vice president. there is a stake in this because of your legacy. biden is talking about saying we're not for what bernie sanders is talking about. i'm here to preserve his legacy. pete: he said you want results, not revolution. maybe obama was waiting for biden to actually win a primary.

he has run three times over 35 years. this is the first state he ever won. main his lucky day is leap year. jedediah: i knew you would get that in. dean: we didn't mention yesterday. pete: only comes every four years. that is his lucky day. he nailed it. jedediah: best who else weighed in. dean: not the president. >> not the president, never. he sent out a tweet, "sleepy" joe biden victory in the south carolina, should be the end of mini mike's bloomberg joke after campaign. after the worst debate performance in history, mini biden split up his very few voters taking many away. pete: that is a fair point. if that is the case, bloomberg fades because people looking at biden alternative. it is really bernie-biden race. warren where does she go? she is still inn because massachusetts is is still on the

map. klobuchar has minute on the map. there ultimately a two, maybe three, depending how bloomberg does on super tuesday race. he has so much money you can't discount him. longer it takes to thin it out, more viable bernie sanders is. that is why you see so much pressure from democrats. dean: after super tuesday the field western knows quite a bit. the president was at cpac yesterday. he had a few things to say about his challengers, his democratic rivals. >> 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. [laughter]. that's why we'll probably end up with crazy bernie. we have "sleepy" joe. crazy bernie. we have mini mike but i think he is out of it. goes to show you can't buy an election. there is point people say you

have got to bring the goods a little bit, you got to bring the goods. boy did pocahontas destroy him, i'll tell you. he didn't know what hit him. oh, get me off this stage! get me off! get me off this stage! [cheering] jedediah: this was classic trump. it was, he actually, it reminded me. i watched this, it was latch out loud funny. i wonder if he has a side gig he can do as a comedian. he is a funny guy. this is something he does really well. if you watch this, thought about sitting, watching the debates, it will be very hard for those candidates. bernie sanders does not have the gift that donald trump has. not going to hug the flag like that. just the charisma, making people laugh and have a good time. politics can be really wry. he makes it interesting. it gets people to come out and

vote. that will be challenge for democrats to much that kind of energy. pete: why bloomberg faded so quickly. there is a question to biden's viability. bloomberg will be on our channel, what will be interesting. it will be a town hall on fox on monday at 6:30. in a town hall with bret and martha anything can happen. voters will be asked questions. you will be forced to submit to questions. dean: smart move by bloomberg to do it on the channel related before. he is a smart guy. pete: biden will be on "fox news sunday" with chris wallace today. dean: everybody is crossing over. jedediah: independent voters are watching them. dean: fox news alert. two new coronavirus cases now confirmed in the u.s. pete: comes hours after the first coronavirus death is reported in the united states. jedediah: more on the outbreak. reporter: good morning, the latest case is cam out of

reporter: despite all of this the outbreak could be worse. >> we prevented travel from china to the united states. if we had not done that we would have had many, many more cases right here we would have to be dealing with. reporter: that is the director of the national institute of allergy infectious diseases. clearing up a "new york times" claim he was being muzzled about speaking up for the dangers of the virus. he said that has never happened at all. guys? dean: thank you very much. appreciate it. we'll get more insight on more of that. dr. anthony fauci, member of the white house coronavirus task force with us 730 this morning. jedediah: you don't want to miss dr. fauci. that presser with president trump, pence, had to face off reporters, that he was reading lines coming out of white house

talking points. we'll talk to him ask him about that. definitely don't miss that interview. we will have the latest on the virus. pete: been doing this for decades. he is nonpartisan way. continuing to do it in a non-partisan way. i think a democrat virus would be nasty than republicans. just kidding. just kidding. my goodness. jedediah: we'll take that headline, go straight to actual headlines. beginning with extreme weather. massive winter storm slamming upstate new york. several towns seeing up to four feet of snow with more possibly on the way. forecasters track another storm making its way across the u.s. warning it could bring heavy rains and flooding to southern states. a third major bus companying banning cpb officers from doing immigration checks. concord coach lines says immigration checks are only allowed if officers have a warrant. the company wants consistent policies with other major bus companies. greyhound and american bus

momentum takes him all athe way. bloomberg has plenty of opportunities, money makes opportunities. people looking for a savior are making a big mistake. pete: tony, is this con send or chaos. bernie will still show very well in the big super tuesday states. bloomberg spent a ton of money. do you think biden is confined to cut cheryl line for this victory or is it a sign of something bigger? >> the chaos question is different than can he win in other places. i have to assume for joe biden all eyes on texas. biden has great chances in florida and georgia. bernie taking care of california. north carolina taking momentum from south caroline. got to assume texas is the high noon. what you can begin to tell a story, if biden can surpass bernie sanders there, win texas he gets to tell the real story

because i would not vote for policy. we were saying you have to talk to law enforcement and the d.a. community, district attorney's zooks is very much opposed to it as every law enforcement union in the state. the fact the governor did not take into account their concerns before putting this in the budget in the middle of the night where legislators had at most five hours to read the entire budget, that really is problematic. it shows why new york is in the position where it is in, since january 1st we've seen robberies increase, assaults increase, burglaries increase, car thefts are up 60% in the city of new york. people are coming out of their houses finding cars on bricks like the good ol' days of the 1980s. jedediah: the sense he cares now because there is enormous backlash in the city, hold on a second, we didn't realize this would be put into effect. now he is suddenly concerned about public opinion. i want to point out crimes that no longer require bail in new york, get your response. criminally negligent homicide.

state with more than 86,000 of them heading to texas alone. a new documentary from prageru is taking a closer look at what is driving the exodus. >> california is for the very rich and the very poor. everything is more expensive. you can't live here in california anymore as a middle class citizen. >> born and raised in the state realizing it has become unaffordable. that is heart breaking. >> californians when they move to texas, they're shocked, their standard of living goes up 40 to 50% overnight. dean: joining us now the producer and host of "fleeing california" will wick. i'm a california guy myself. i've seen that exodus taking place. what inspired you to make this documentary? obviously huge numbers of people leaving our state. >> yeah. over the past 10 years five million people have left california and 15,000 businesses. i live here in california. i live in hollywood. i see how terrible it is. the state and local government is more worried about banning plastic straws than they

actually are about solving all the problems in this state. one in five people in california live below the poverty line. that is something i wanted to expose, to show what the left has done to this beautiful state. dean: california obviously is a gorgeous state, people come there for the weather but politics i would say are terrible. there is huge poverty, huge homeless populations. we have a democratic supermajority as the government there. are you going to leave, are you going to stay? what is your feeling on that? >> i'm planning on staying myself but i don't blame people if they want to leave. starting a small business in california is nearly impossible. the rent is so high you can barely live here as a middle class citizen. i don't blame people for wanting to move to a new state like texas. over the last 10 years, 600,000 people california moved to texas. i'm a fighter. i will continue to stay to expose what is going on and work for prageru. dean: prageru has a lot of videos. i find them informative,

interesting, fun. when does this come out? >> this will come out around mid-march. go to prageru.com, sign up to get notified as soon as it comes out. i hope you guys share it everywhere. dean: i will do our part for sure. i want to stay in california. i love the state but the high taxes and homeless situation it is a tough place to be, even though you love the state. what do you think? do you think we have a shot of saving the state? i know you will save and fight. it is uphill battle. the democratic supermajority is for real. >> i think we do have a shot. when you watch the mini documentary, the first half is all about california and kind of a diagnose is of that. the second half is about texas, why texas is doing so much better, pretty much every metric, education, cost of leaving and you see how texas does it with conservative policies f california follows that model, and makes big changes how it is running itself i think we can make real changes

to start to wake people up. the documentary should do that as well. dean: will witt, thanks for having you on the show and keep up the good work. >> thank you. dean: still ahead, congressman james clyburn gave joe biden a big endorsement. he says it is about time to fix up his campaign. >> we need to do some retooling in the campaign, no question about that and i'm not going to sit idly by and watch people mishandle this campaign. dean: will retooling the campaign be enough for biden to win the nomination? ♪. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it.

♪. ♪ you ain't seen nothing yet jedediah: joe biden, victorious, taking a victory lap very much-needed with respect to south carolina heading into super tuesday on tuesday with a ilk per smile, making bernie sanders a little more nervous than he was before perhaps, maybe making some democrats who want someone who will not zare the heck out of moderates around the country, moderate democrats, a confident that biden can pull something through. pete: i have a theory. you are gone for months and joe biden didn't win for months. jedediah: oh. pete: you came back and joe biden crushes it in south carolina. you wore blue today. jedediah: that is true. i have said in the past i do find him to be a nice guy. i have interviewed him, but i'm not a biden girl.

pete: i didn't say you were. jedediah: i'm too much after free market lover for that. pete: if you missed last night coverage, they called it right at 7:00 because yes, the polls showed he would be the winner and he was. almost 50% of the vote. bernie came in second. the only those two got delegates last night. you had to clear the 15% threshold. it mixes up the race, dean, big time. where it goes from here known knows. dean: joe biden is the comeback kid as they say. pretty early to be the come back kid. pete: not a kid, dean. dean: first time he ever won a primary in the three attempts, first time he won a state, all three times he run for president. a big deal. "sleepy" joe woke up. jedediah: make i'm putting socialist out of the way. bernie sanders too extreme. maybe that is what it means. pete: he won the first state while running his worst campaign.

jedediah: that's true. griff jenkins in charleston, south carolina. he has the highlights. what have you got for us over there. griff: biden bilah, i don't know about the campaign. you can't downplay the results t was a huge win. biden was running out of money. any hope he could actually come back in some form or fashion. to all the naysayers last night he had this to say. >> the press and pundits declared this candidacy dead. now, thanks to all of you the heart of the democratic party, we just won and we've won big because of you. [cheering] we are very much alive! griff: he won big because of the african-american vote. here is the numbers. biden 48.45. followed by sanders, 19.1. that is more than double but if you go into the fox news voter analysis the top three amongst black voters, biden at 60%,

stier 16, sanders 14. that is more than four times that along with the endorsement from jump clyburn what biden hopes to bank stop sanders campaign on, although sanders moved on to virginia last night. he was downplaying the drubbing he took. listen. >> we won't the popular vote in iowa. [cheering] we won the new hampshire primary. [cheering] we have won the nevada caucus. [cheering] but, you cannot win them all. griff: biggest surprise of the night, third place finisher tom steyer after fancy dance moves decided to call it quits vowing to support the potential nominee do whatever it takes to defeat donald trump. it comes as another billionaire, mike bloomberg, officially gets in this race and on the ballot in 14 super tuesday states which is up for grabs of more than

1300 delegates. we'll have to see whether or not biden can keep any momentum going particularly depending on the minority vote. guys? pete: we'll see, griff. charleston, south carolina, is great assignment. i feel bad how often you're on the road but not in charleston. thanks for everything, griff. great stuff. watching griff's report which is all fantastic, i bee loan the extent which we lump people, i think we graphics, black voters, white voters, as if people are not individuals. i understand, it is a real thing. but ultimately, doesn't mean that that percentage of the vote isn't up for grabs, depending on the candidate, depending on their message, not depending on your skin color. dean: agreed. pete: clearly he had a big night with black voters. jedediah: feel sense for biden, looking debate stage, left and right, listening to likes of bernie sanders and elizabeth

warren with such extreme rhetoric, what happened with this party? biden backed obama care and that sounded extreme to some of us, on that stage biden seems a moderate. the question will biden pull through? will super tuesday give biden even more -- dean: we're very much alive. still right now. he said he alive. that's something. jedediah: but did give him a little pep in his step. the question, does he need to fix things. does he need to fix what is going on in the campaign. representative james clyburn who endorsed biden said this on cnn yesterday. this is before biden came home with the big win, look what he said about retooling the campaign. >> we need to do some retooling in the campaign, no question about that. i did not feel free to speak out about it or even deal with it inside because i had not committed to his candidacy. i have now. i'm all in. and i'm not going to sit idly by

and watch people mishandle this campaign. we are going to get it right. dean: jim clyburn campaign now. he will run it for biden. that is what it sounds like to me. pete: his endorsement was huge. i don't know what you retool. everyone knows joe biden. his message, his candidacy, has been go back to barack obama except barack obama hasn't endorsed me. some people suggesting maybe that would be a big boost for biden if it were to happen the next three days. the establishment freaking out about bernie sanders. bloomberg fading. so these next few days if the biden camp is to be retooled, would be critical. if you fall behind on super tuesday, it's socialist country all the way. jedediah: i would highly recommend a debate coach. i don't think he does well in the debates. someone needs to sit him down, you need to think before you speak. you make a lot of mistakes. dean: that will never change. jedediah: to a point people are getting concerned about him. if this is him being flippant he need to pay attention.

just because you were the vice president, you have name recognition, doesn't mean you are a show-in as you can see bernie sanders comb in and been on your tail the whole time and surpassed you in many ways. someone says you need to sit down and get with it. that is what clyburn is saying. dean: pete: shows you how bad the field is, if biden wins the way he did running such a terrible campaign. i think that is the state of the democratic party. email us at friends@foxnews.com. tell us where you think the race is going. we have analysis all morning long. we have another story. two deadly coronavirus cases confirmed in the u.s. one in chicago. and one california. jedediah: the man in his '50s died in washington state. the wife of first american service member who died has been

infected. dean: president trump considers closing the southern border. one person has died in the u.s. 62 u.s. cases are confirmed and nearly 87,000 people are infected world wide. jedediah: dr. anthony fauci will join us this hour with more on the white house effort to contain the outbreak. you don't want to miss dr. fauci. will have a lot to say. we'll ask him about the interaction with the media yesterday. i sure am. one much us will. and we're going to get latest from him. he is very informed. he has been on top of this. he doesn't have an agenda here except to inform the public and be on point. he will be good. pete: the left, often been said by the left never let a good crisis to go to waste. that applies which is a crisis i believe they have been rooting for because it hurts president trump because they hit him so much. michael bloomberg has taken it to the next level. he is buying three minutes, not a 30 second spot, not a 15 second spot, three-minute spots

tonight on multiple networks. don't know how much he is paying for it. he has bottomless pockets. that is not a problem. we can only show 10 seconds. here is a portion of the ad bloomberg will be running tonight. >> i dealt with a hurricane, a blackout, attempted terror attacks and swine flu. my method of leadership was to plan ahead before the problem arrived. pete: look at backdrop. a lot like the oval office perhaps? dean: i don't know. i think a camera trick. just guessing from a guy who makes tv shows. you know, he is trying to look presidential, do his thing. that will again, money is bottomless for him. and whether that is effective or not we'll find out on super tuesday which is right around the corner. jedediah: doesn't this rub people the wrong way he has to do that? bloomberg is all he is doing. all he is doing spending a ton of money, putting up mock videos, here i am in a oval office i staged i will come off.

remember, new yorkers remember him as nanny bloomberg we used to call him. he was so worried how much salt you were eating and banning certain sodas of certain sizes what not. now you will of sudden he wants to be mr. president. it is about spending money for him. it will read that way for a lot of people. guess, the trump campaign responded. mike bloomberg is shamelessly politicizing the issue and exposing himself as unserious candidate. he is a joke. pete: money would be better used in a coal plant, fueling it firing it in pennsylvania than what happened on this. that is his play. can my billions do enough to cut through to get people to support me even though they look at the economy the president created, another billionaire from new york who delivered on promises he made. well get a chance on this network, to ask those types of questions to mike bloomberg monday night, 6:30. bret baier, martha maccallum will monitor a town hall. voters asking mike questions.

he hasn't done a whole lot of these types of things. it has been very staged. when he has gone on stage, it hasn't gone well for him in the debates. this will be a much-watched segment. jedediah: smart for him. he said that is i'm not a great debater. that is not my strong suit. he is admitting to it. pete: if he had not done the debates, i'm a super tuesday guy where would he be right now? he might be in a stronger spot. jedediah: eventually you have to come out and agree go toe-to-toe. he could have delayed it a little bit more. at some point, it would have looked like he was afraid to face the other candidates and afraid to face the american people. that is scary itself that would put people -- what is wrong with him. what does he not know how to do? dean: maybe started off very shaky on the debates and getting stronger maybe? i'm trying to put a positive spin. pete: a few additional headlines this morning as well as we contemplate the spin. acting i.c.e. director slamming

new york's green light law. matt albence telling fox news that the law puts lives at risk it. bans federal immigration officials from using a dmv database. he says what is unbelievable, new york gives that information to canadian law enforcement but won't share with their own. new york governor andrew cuomo is willing to make a deal with i.c.e. on the law. we'll see. today the u.s. commemorating 55 years since the bloody sunday protest in selma, alabama. the annual bridge crossing jubilee to remember 50 black americans clashing with state police, while demanding 500, i meant to say 500, demanding the right to vote in 1965. remember that day. tom brady considers leaving the new england patriots his plans may have been spoiled by teammate julian edelman. >> star power in the building as well. >> it is a big deal anytime --

way it does today. what has changed inside the conservative movement, republican party, that he is greeted the way he is today? >> you're exactly right. now the president has 97% support amongst republicans. we are cohesive because we found our conservative warrior. a president who unashamedly stand up for conservative. throws away what the swamp directs him to do, away with you, i will be conservative, i will make good on my promises. that kind of outcome, those kind of deliverables have unified this party like we're is never seen before. we're steamrolling forward at the trump campaign. pete: kayleigh mcenany, thank you for joining us on sunday. jedediah: two immigrants are attacked on-line after picture of her was posted on social media. they say they came here for freedom and stand by the president. they join us live next. >> we feel it is important for any person to say, this is what i stand for. in our case we are republicans. we are behind the president.

lady co-owner of the mexican grill and they started to boycotting us and telling people, don't go to the restaurant. they're nasty. they're racist. this is awful place to go, et cetera, et cetera. maybe hundreds, thousands of people think that on google and our facebook page. besides that, there have been calls as well, threatening us and give us hard time because we support the president. dean: these kind of calls on social media, look i'm an actor. i support the president. i catch a lot of that heat. they try to cancel you and stop you from doing things. is that boycott working for you or is it working the other way? are you guys seeing an actual loss of business or is your business actually gone up because of your support for president trump? >> well, the first day, couple days, it always, it goes down

but, like yesterday, we had a very good day. people that, you know, know that, anyone as an american has the right to support whoever you want, you know, that they come out and support us. so in a way, it is turns out to be pretty good thankfully. pete: thankfully. betty, you're an american. this is a free country. you go to see your president. you're proudly there. someone targets you. how have you reacted to this? >> i'm very happy because a lot of people is coming to my restaurant but the same, i have very sad because a lot of people attack to us. jedediah: this is not the first time this has happened though. in 2016 you also had an incident where there was backlash toward you for attending a rally or for

your public expression of opinion? >> yeah. similar situation. this is, since that happened we had the president's picture up on the wall of the restaurant. so we have never denied or hide from what we stand for and what we believe. and we have been active. we've been going to president trump's rallies he had in phoenix and going to other meetings where republicans meet. so we know who we are. we know that it is important for us to stay active, to say what we feel. i personally feel that to me, staying quiet, not going to express my opinion, they might attack me. that will go against what i believe. that will go against what america stands from. pete: bingo. >> for me to be quiet it would be an insult to all of those people. dean: good for you, jorge, and good for you, betty.

♪. >> at this moment we have 22 patients in the united states currently that have coronavirus. unfortunately one person passed away overnight. we've taken the most aggressive actions to confront the coronavirus. there is no reason to panic. pete: that was the president yesterday. health officials working hard to contain the coronavirus as one american is confirmed dead, marking the first virus-related death in the u.s. jedediah: here with more insight, a member of the white house's coronavirus task force, dr. anthony fauci. welcome to the show. >> good to be with you. jedediah: we have three new travel restricted countries now, iran, italy, south korea. many of our viewers watched the presser yesterday that was held by the president, vice president

pence and you yourself spoke quite a bit. are there any updates you can give us this morning? >> no. it is the same as we said at the press conference. what we're seeing right now is what is called community spread, namely we're having people popping up who are infected with no known original source or index case which makes it much more challenging because the other cases, it was clear where the infection was coming from and where they got infected, such as the travel related cases. when you have the cases that we're having now in washington state and in oregon it becomes much more challenging because you got to do much more intensive contact tracing in addition to the isolation. so this is something that was entirely expected when you have diffuse infections throughout the world as you just mentioned, south korea, iran, italy, and places like that, sooner or later, they're going to be cases in your country that you can't

directly trace to anyone. that becomes much more challenging about identifying the source. dean: dr. fauci, a lot of people are comparing the symptoms and even the disease itself to having the flu s that accurate comparison or is it much less worse? >> in some respects the comparison is appropriate but in others it's not. for example, the seasonal flu mortality is about 0.1%. thus far from the information that we've gotten particularly from china the mortality of this disease is around 2%, 2.3%. maybe a little bit lower if you count all the cases but it clearly is much more lethal if you want to call it that than the typical seasonal flu. pete: doctor, there has been much made in the media about how this is being messaged, who is talking about it and when but

"the washington post" took it to another level accusing you of effectively being muzzled. this is part of what they wrote in "the washington post" on thursday. fauci is probably the most respected public health official in the united states. there is no one better equipped to explain what is happening with the coronavirus. now he is being muzzled. how do you respond to the claim that you're not able to speak freely about the state of the coronavirus right now? >> well i just would tell people to take a look at their television right now. what am i doing? i'm speaking freely. i think there was misrepresentation. pete: i noticed. >> whenever you get a request to go on any show there is always a formal process that is generally routine of clearance and when the vice president's people took over on essentially being the person overseeing the task force they said, let's take a very temporary halt on clearances so we can gather where we're going

with this. that happened. very soon thereafter the clearances went through and i have never been muzzled and never been told i couldn't say anything i wanted to say on television exactly like i'm doing right now with you. so that was really a misrepresentation. i'm not being muzzled. jedediah: doctor, one thing i want to ask, one concern people have expressed, when you look at the flu, you often think of people with preexisting conditions, older people would be susceptible to having catastrophic effects of that. now what you're seeing with the coronavirus, you are seeing a teacher, seeing some young people, seemingly healthy people. is that the big distinction here? should people be panicked about that? >> you know that is a good point. it really isn't that. of a distinction. for sure the overwhelming majority of people who get in trouble with serious disease that would lead to the necessity of intensive care and even death are elderly people, and people with underlying conditions,

heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, things like that. but every ones in a while you get someone who apparently is perfectly normal, young and healthy, who gets afflicted and gets seriously ill and even dies. that is much more unusual than the standard situation of people with underlying conditions. we see that within influenza. influenza is the same thing. mostly people who are elderly, people who have underlying conditions but every once in a while you get the situation where otherwise healthy college student gets influenza and dies. that will happen. pete: doctor, we don't have much time, play it forward for a second for me. what will the next week or two look like. i know you can't predict but give people a sense. >> you know i really think we have to get used to seeing additional cases that will crop up in the community in which there was no identified source. the american people need to

realize that. it is unrealistic to think it will not happen. it is how we handle it that is important. state and local health authorities together with the cdc, doing that identification, isolation, and contact tracing. pete: dr. fauci, thank you so much for giving us your time this morning. no muzzle here. we appreciate it. thank you. jedediah: thank you. we're going to turn to headlines for you now. a man is arrested after stabbing a woman with a syringe filled with bodily fluids. thomas stamen allegedly pretended to bump into a maryland woman in grocery store, piercing the needle in her side. suspect asked her if it feels like it is a bee sting. unclear if they knew each other. spacex rocket test goes up in smoke. a liquid nitrogen leak causing

[cheering] jedediah: does biden need obama's endorsement ahead of super tuesday? let's ask fox news contributor, democratic strategist richard fowler. richard, biden has the thirst for that endorsement, the hunger and the thirst. will it come for him? >> no. barack obama is not going to endorse him until there is clearly a nominee. he understands he is the leader of this party. he is the person that can get the base out in record turnout numbers. he will wait as close to the convention as possible to endorse a candidate or whoever gets 1991 delegates necessary prior to the convention he will probably endorse that candidate. it was very good night for joe biden as we saw there. what bodes well for joe biden going into super tuesday, a lot of southern states on the ballot, alabama, virginia, tennessee, north carolina, i have them written down here. dean: texas. >> i think him and bernie will go neck and neck there.

argument. here is what it goes on to say. is obama going to stand by as his party takes the extremely risky step of nominating an open socialist when polls say nearly 60%% of americans have an unfavorable view of socialism and fewer than 30% say they view it favorably. unless that is obama's preferred choice is brokered convention in which a surprise nominee emerges named michelle obama. jedediah: michelle would do great. she would be a force to be recced with. pete: as a candidate or a president. jedediah: as a candidate. she would blow everyone off that stage she has that charisma or passion. i don't think she wants that job. i always wonder though, is joe biden sitting at home with text messages saying hey, barack, what's up? how are you doing? what's what did you have for dinner, remind him i still exist. maybe you want to come out and give mee some support.

pete: am i texting too much? jedediah: did you catch my speech? you almost feel sorry for him but the truth is i think that endorsement would go a very long way for joe biden. i don't think president obama is going to step in. but, i do think it would be huge if he did. dean: we talked to rich fowler earlier he said obama won't endorse anybody until there is a clear frontrunner and the primary is over and then he will endorse a candidate. he also had this to say. >> barack obama is not going to endorse him until there is clearly a no, ma'am to me. he understands he is the leader of this party. he understands he is the person that can get the base thought record turnout numbers. he is going to wait to as close to the convention as possible. what bodes well for joe biden super tuesday a lot of southern states on the ballot. the problem joe biden is going to have going into super tuesday is he not on the airways, he ran out of money to get on the airways on super tuesday. running on momentum. see if that carries him to get enough digits.

jedediah: is it also possible that obama thinks bernie sanders would have a better shot of winning? is it possible that he thinks that bernie sanders is more aligned with potentially his own ideology and what he would like to happen? is that possible? just because he had joe biden as his vice president does not mean that he is necessarily aligned or thinks that that is the best candidate. he too is watching these debates. he is watching what is happening to joe biden on the stage. it's not good. let me step back and let this play out. pete: i think the ladder is more likely. steve: i agree. pete: obama is the leftist but claims to not be a socialist. he has been at odds with bernie before. he looks at biden and says is that the guy that's really going to carry my legacy? if there were a moment for the establishment to step in on behalf of biden, it would be now. and the fact that they are not going to means it really is toss-up. jedediah: obama is not the establishment. he never felt like the establishment to me. i just don't see him as the establishment. i see him as someone who is being strategic in saying you know what? let me sit this one out for

many reasons. one of them is that he doesn't think biden is the guy to beat. pete: that might be right. who would it be then. jedediah: mane that's why he doesn't want to get involved and endorse someone that goes on to not do very well? why, because ultimately it would be like then he had to do that enforcement. it's the democratic person who won. that's different than him jumping in now and saying. pete: you asked a good question is obama the establishment? jedediah: he is not. pete: you wanted to fundamentally transform america a leftist. compare him to a socialist and open borders and illegals to get every possible benefit. you raise a good point. jedediah: but, is he actually-like, we don't know. what he was able to effectuate in terms of policy may not actually be when he sits home and thinks about these issues. he was a community organizer that is not the establishment. pete: let us think.

us know what you think. >> over in maryland he hit the 2020 democrats the way trump hits democrats. watch. >> 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. [laughter] that's why we will probably end up with crazy bernie. we have sleepy joe. crazy bernie and mini mike but i think he is out of it. it just shows you that you can't buy an election. there is a point at which people say you got to bring the goods a little bit, too. you have got to bring the goods. pocahontas destroy him? i will tell you. [laughter] he didn't know what hit him. he is going oh, get me off of this stage. get me off. get me off of this stage.

[laughter] jedediah: really funny stuff. pete: his humor is really important. either way the debates will be. jedediah: better with bernie. pete: joe saying things that don't make sense. saying things that he thinks that are funny that they are not. dean: what state are we in? what are you running for senate or president? jedediah: i would love to see president trump expose bernie sanders for what he actually wants to happen in this country. someone really needs to call out how does that play out, bernie? how do you pay for that play that out for the middle class and what actually happens. someone needs to have practical sense and call that stuff out. and bernie will have trouble defending those things. dean: shouldn't that happen in the debate. jedediah: it should. pete: amy klobuchar who doesn't want a socialist.

other cases it was clear where the infection was coming from and where they got infected such as the travel related cases. this is something that was entirely expected when you have diffuse infections throughout the world. sooner or later, the there are going to be cases in your country that you can't directly trace to anyone. jedediah: i think it was very smart for entrepreneurship in the presser so have dr. fauci front and center. he is informed. he has all the information. he has a calmness about him. is he in command of the issue and the information. it allows for a lot of transparency in the process. and that makes people at home who are anxious who are worried feel that people who are in charge getting the proper information and everything is kind of in order in case there is some sort of emergency that needs to be addressed even more so than already. dean: certainly everyone is really concerned about it. jedediah: of course. dean: and shows the administration is on top of it. pete: vigilance is more important than panic. with him out front he is going to get you the info.

[cheers] they think bernie is easier to beat. jedediah: as joe biden wins his first primary this weekend, president trump polling those south carolina voters who seem to think that bernie sanders would be easier to beat. in a new movement there agrees operation chaos launched by g.o.p. voters who used yesterday's primary to vote for sanders. claiming it will help the president get reelected.

will it really work? operation chaos organizer presley joins us now. welcome to the show. talk to me about this strategy operation chaos and what you expect it to do? >> yes, jedediah, thanks for having me. we had a two-fold prong with our strategy. our main focus with operation chaos was to be loud and clear saying to our legislators here in south carolina we want closed primaries. we are an open primary state here and for decades democrats have been crossing over into the republican primaries and voting for our -- what they perceive to be our weakest candidate. and so, because of that, we think our goal -- we know our goal was achieved because we had a closed primary bill reported out of the senate judiciary subcommittee we had a new bill introduced on the house of representatives side. we have accomplished our first goal. now, this is a marathon. it's not a sprint.

and then secondarily, in order to create chaos, we simply mathematically look at the polls. we knew that joe biden was in the lead. but number two is bernie sanders. and so we decided as much as we abhorred bernie sanders and his socialist ideology, we asked all of the republicans to go hold their noses and go vote for bernie and we did. we think we moved the needle about 3% to 5%. and that's a huge move because we're just a group of grassroots people. we had a zero budget. and so we are pleased with the outcome of what we did. jedediah: let me ask you this, are you worried at all or any of these republicans worried that bernie sanders just might be able to win this whole thing? >> you know, we're not worried. i mean, we are confident in the president because we never want to rest on our laurels. but, if bernie does win, we think he is the weakest candidate to go up against

president trump. jedediah: why is that? why do you think set weakest candidate? >> yeah. because there is going to be a clear contrast between his communist socialist ideology and the capitalism free market and republican principles and ideology of president trump. and we don't think americans, when they take a close look at cuba, venezuela, and some of these other communist countries around the world, we don't think they want to begin that downward spiral. it only took a generation to destroy venezuela. jedediah: well, presley, it is a risky game. i will tell you that. but we will be watching and see you have super tuesday coming up and i'm guessing you are going to try to move some mountains there as well, correct? about 10 seconds or less. >> yes. yes, ma'am. so, thank you for having us. and we will talk to you later. jedediah: all right. sounds great. a group of veterans taking on new heights setting out kill maoutto take a new hike. they are coming up next.

place of life not knowing what their purpose may be, if they can go on after injuries after combat, the best thing to do is pull them out and get them invested in an organization like sheep dog that shows them they have a purpose and accomplish things. imagine how powerful that testimony is after that. dean: you have done very, very well as owner of sam's furniture or co-owner. everyone knows you are paying all costs for this entire excursion if you will and all the money that comes in is for a sheep dog. and you are the guy sheep dog. can you tell us a little bit about the organization? >> let me get it straight real quick. i'm not the president and founder. i can't fill the shoes of lance knut. all the outdoor adventures we put on throughout the year. i came in about five years ago with sheep dog, obviously lost. i was missing both of my legs. addicted to pain medication. sheep dog found me. gave me a purpose. gave me a life again. and i was able to be put in a platform to be able to help other veterans as they

come in. struggling with things whether it be, you know, addiction, depression, anxiety or basically just getting up off that couch beginning my outdoor adventure. pete: it's one thing to climb mount kilimanjaro. it's another thing to do it with the injuries you have. so talk to me about preparing for what it means to have that sense of purpose and what you are trying to show other vets in the process. sebastian, i will start with you. >> i think, i mean for us, with sheep dog it's been like them giving you an opportunity to do something that you can't do physically yet. i think that a lot of people communicate in the same way are like we're talking about you can't feel sorry for us because it's just a different language. so, i was recruited by a buddy of mine sheep dog. sheep dog founded by a marine recon veteran. but a buddy of mine a scout sniper rick pareles he is missing his leg and has advanced injuries. he signed me up for a spartan race way beyond my

capacity at the time. pete: at the time. >> at the time i spent a long time at the hospital and a lot of anger problems with, you know, i didn't recover so well in the beginning. and they recruited me. something that was well out of my wheel house. i was nowhere near it. and it was ended up being one of the worst days of my life physically to accomplish what i do with sheep dog. but it was -- that was a point because sometimes like even with me and my bros in my unit, we communicate in a different way. so you can't just, you know, tell somebody like we're going to bring you out and do this because we feel sorry for you or like a little party of, you know, like a little pity party, and i think what sheep dog does is they challenge veterans and first responders with things that they're asking them, you know, to either step up or not. and that kind of put you in a wheel house that they are recognizing. do you know what i mean? hey, you are either going to be able to accomplish this or not? do you want to do it or not, and i think that's the best way to speak to veterans and

first responders. pete: you picked a heck of a challenge. spartan race. okay. ,. pete: we don't have much time tell us what you are going to do. >> always finding something to be able to challenge myself whether it be the spartan race, marathon. dean: or africa. >> and about three years ago i seen a marine veteran missing one leg. saw he had climbed it and something i wanted to do. i wasn't push myself. asked if i would love to be able to climb mount kilimanjaro. pete: website was just on our screen how can they kili climb.com. we love to use platform to serve people. all different ways. this event is paid for 100 percent. every dollar given by anybody who wants to pull guys like this out of the dark and show them they can accomplish new things on life they can donate on

this all morning, watching last night. returns came in and it was immediate for joe biden and boy did he need those delegates though. if you look at this group and there is someone not here to. dean: bloomberg is there. you can't quite see him. pete: he is not in the graphic because we are not there yet. if you look at where we are right now with the delegate count. it was a big win for joe biden last night but what matters is how many voters you have and delegates you have. biden made up a lot of ground last night but sanders is still ahead. buttigieg, who was in first and second fading to third. and then you -- jedediah: bloomberg not there super tuesday coming up really soon. you will see what kind of impact bloomberg will have. we will also see is warren going to be able to pick up speed. we have massachusetts coming up on that day. the question is this down to a biden-sanders race right now? that's where everyone's eyes seem to be focused. last night big, big win for biden. he needed to be part of that headline and part of that story and part of that as

you said earlier in these hours a come back kid. it's a come back. dean: he is no kid. look how many delegates up for grabs on super tuesday. 1357 which divarps the number of delegates already been award. it's going to be a huge, huge day. pete: that's a third the delegates. the question is watt the momentum that biden has was it confined to south carolina? he got a big endorsement. working hard in that state without a lot of money for months or can it translate. look at california that's double what's already been on the table so far in the process. bernie has shown a big lead there. a lot of liberals in california. texas, whereby den was ahead in the polls four months until bernie started to surge. he has taken a lead. does last night change that? and then you mentioned it, jed, massachusetts right here can elizabeth win her own state but bernie had a huge rally, 10,000 there just yesterday. and then my home state of minnesota it. is national minnesota day, amy klobuchar hopes she can win her home state and grab

a few delegates. again, too little, too late, that's why tuesday is going to be a late night. jedediah: big night and see how it plays out. dean: we will be talking about it from diners. >> diners across the country. wait and watch to find out where we will be. we'll be popping up around the globe. not around the globe. around the country. rick you usually don't do global weather. rick: i kind of want to have you guys go through and point and name all the states on there. rick: we can do it. pete: 100 percent. rick: i love when you are doing maps. pete: pick the state and i will name it. jedediah: can he do it blindfolded, too. rick: nice. a chilly start address the great lakes and northeast. going to warm up this week. also have really dry conditions today. especially across parts of south florida. you will remain dry for a lot of the coming week. we are starting to see moisture move in across parts of texas. and that is part of the

energy going to match up with what we have coming in across the west and southwest. rain and mountain snow across the sierra nevadas. all of that energy meets up by tomorrow and starts to bring some pretty significant rain across areas that are really flooded and you see where we have the rivers flooding right now. over the next few days, really getting going tomorrow into tuesday and all the way tuesday into friday. a lot of heavy rain coming across the south again. some spots have seen over two feet of rain so far this year. ground is completely water logged. some of that rain on tuesday as well for super tuesday. all right, guys. back to you inside. >> coatless rick out there. looking like it's warm. will. jedediah: we are going to turn to headlines. kobe bryant's widow over showily graphic photos of the helicopter crash. deputies showed gruesome crash photos to people on their phone. vanessa bryant now demanding those deputies face the hashest discipline possible. the lapd is investigating the claims.

and restaurant owners are facing backlash for supporting president trump. immigrants jorge and betty say they were attacked on social media over a picture of betty at the rally in phoenix. the couple joined us earlier saying they are standing by the president. >> i have been very sad because a lot of people attack us. >> to me, i'm not going to attack my opinion because they will attack me, that would go against what i believe. jedediah: critics say they should leave politics out of business. rivas argue it's their right to free speech. jedediah: it's a bird, it's a plane, it's pigeons on a plane. watch as two pigeons fly up and down as they fly international airport india. the airline says the crew got the birds out before taking off and only 30 minutes behind schedule. that's pretty good. unclear how the pigeons got on that aircraft.

pete: someone's emotional support pigeon. jedediah: ever wonder if your parents have a favorite child? >> if you are saying i play favorites, you are wrong. i love all my children equally. >> i don't care for joe. jedediah: instincts may be right. according to u gov study one in 10 parents do have a favorite child. 53% of parents like the youngest sibling most. and 51% prefer their daughters over their sons. wow, i'm an only child so i know i'm the favorite. dean: you are definitely the favorite. pete: it goes in phases. different ages and phases with different kids. you definitely enjoy certain kids at certain moments more than others. doesn't mean you love them more. maybe they become your favorite. dean: right now you are my favorite kid because you are doing good things. jedediah: he would do that. pete: i have said that. jedediah: you want to be the favorite can you do this. if you don't.

pete: i haven't tried that yet. dean: curly, you are my least favorite kid. straighten up. jedediah: don't give him any ideas. pete: south carolina voters in the bible belt give joe biden a much needed boost to his campaign. what have r. evangelize voters looking for in 2020. dean: one of president trump's spiritual advisors breaks down the issues that they care about most and that's next ♪ ♪ my patients

voters looking for ahead of super tuesday? jedediah: pastor paula white serves as spiritual advisor to president trump. >> welcome. give us insight into what evangelical voters are looking for. >> it's so good to be with you today. we are looking ahead at seeing how president trump has made promises and kept those. he is the most pro-life president as he has stood so strong for life, being the first president at the march for life defunding the -- that's almost $9 billion of foreign aid that our tax dollars were paying for abortion. as we look at the supreme court and we see that there has been almost 200 nominees or all the courts, excuse me, lower courts and supreme court. we look at the judicial system. so we look at his support for israel. his support within the black community, lowest unemployment, prison reform, hbcu. all the things that we see that are happening. this is really, last night was so predictable. i mean, it looks more and

more like the democrats are headed toward a contested convention with no single candidate really leading the way. and what has happened? always happens. biden courted the african-american vote. the religious vote there. and i think people are wising up because the democrat party is so chaotic and so divided right now it's the same story line. let's court during the time of election but then afterwards, what has been done? but president trump has actually had deliverable, that's what people are beginning to see and they are seeing the results over and over again. pete: pastor, you saw that voter analysis. biden got 60% of the religiously affiliated vote last night. he is a catholic. although he was recently denied communion by a minister of the catholic faith because of his pro-abortion distances, so when it comes to religious voters at large in 2020, how do they compare candidates were it to be a biden or a bernie against the

president? >> well, look at right there you can see that president trump, again, i will reiterate the most pro-life. think about this from a religious standpoint. the democrats would not even sign on. they are so indebted to the abortion industry. they would not even sign onto the live birth. protecting a child after it has come out of mother's womb. when you are looking at every candidate that is standing and saying up to the moment of birth without any restriction whatsoever that there can be complete abortion, the country is wising up and saying that's not -- you know, that's not protection of life. that's not protection of anything. so, we're really beginning to see a turn around in a major way because they have just gone too far. again, not surprising that biden got that vote. had jim clyburn behind him. he had part-time behind him saying hey, when it comes to deliverables, what has he

delivered? let's look at president trump? it's the exact opposite. he has delivered on the economy. he has delivered on religious liberty. he has delivered in the courts. he has delivered in prison reform. he has delivered with women. he has delivered with all people. veterans, military, i mean, i could sit here probably for hours and list all the accomplishments as we all could of what this great president has done. jedediah: pastor, not to interrupt you but i want to get this done. what do you say to critics who say they cannot reconcile evangelical support for president trump because they cite character issues? what's your response to that? >> i think it's very hypocritical. i mean, first off, jesus came for all of us. we all have character issues. we all have different flaws. and he, of all people, has never said he is a perfect man. he has never pretended to be a pastor, a spiritual leader. he is a businessman that is a great fighter for this country and i have the

wonderful privilege of having known him and his family for 19 years. can attest to his character. can attest to he does what he says. i think it's great character when a person promises something and campaigns unlike others who have said hey, we will recognize jerusalem as the capital and move the embassy. not one person did it. they campaigned on it. but they didn't do it. our president did it. that matters to evangelicals. pete: absolutely. we have to leave it right there. pastor paula white-kaine thank you so much. >> thank you. jedediah: mike bloomberg buy as pricy 3 minute prime time ad oval office setting. pete: is it effective? we will discuss it, coming up. ♪ good morning!

pete: and we're following two big stories this morning starting with a fox news alert, a coronavirus case reportedly in rhode island. the patient had traveled to italy. the health and human services secretary saying a case was confirmed in chicago overnight. it comes as the nation's first death is also confirmed in washington state. president trump tweeting just moments ago, minutes ago, coronavirus -- in addition to screening travelers prior to boarding from certain designated high-risk countries or areas within those countries -- they will also be screened when they arrive in america. jedediah: in the meantime, joe biden is claiming victory in the south carolina primary.

dean: griff jenkins joins us live from charleston. how you doing down there? >> reporter: good morning, you know, dean, i don't think it's a comeback on par with the giants, but it is undoubtedly the first heavy blow to sanders' surging first three performances. joe biden, running low on cash in hopes he could actually win, actually blew away the race with the african-american vote, and he had this message for his naysayers -- >> the pundits have declared this candidacy dead. now, thanks to all of you, the heart of the democratic party, we just won and we've won big because of you. [cheers and applause] we are very much on! >> reporter: let's look at numbers here. you see biden more than doubling sanders at 48.45 to 19.51.

if you look among the top three amongst black voters, you see binding at 60%, steyer, 16. sanders at 14, that's more than four times. that is why the biden campaign says they will go into super tuesday demographically similar to south carolina. sanders downplaid it saying, nope, he's ready for three days from now. listen. >> the people of this country on super tuesday and after are going to support our campaign because we are more than a campaign, we are a movement. >> reporter: and there's one less millionaire, tom steyer calling it quits last night, vowing to do everything he can to stop donald trump. although now that bloomberg gets on the ballot in the 14 states, the more than 1300 delegates, well, that's anybody's guess on how he'll do there. it's important to point out joe biden has invested little and

spent little time in states like california and texas. in fact, one of the voters yesterday at the polls told me, hey, did joe biden buy a house here? i heard he moved here. [laughter] obviously, he habit. we'll find out how well he can do here. pete: and that is the core question, is this a south carolina only thing for joe biden, or does it translate into super or tuesday. this has been a race of momentum shifts. pete buttigieg won iowa, bernie wins big in nevada, now biden wins big in south carolina, reminds you how different our country is. but when you look at that map right there, that's a third of the delegates on tuesday. without money -- joe doesn't have any money -- he can't run the ads that bloomberg's running or that bernie's running with the millions he's raised. so when it comes to california and texas, big grab for delegates, and once someone gets a lead, it's hard to take it away. jedediah: biden really needed that win not only for the numbers, but for his confidence.

that was the first time in a long time that i've actually seen joe biden come off like joe biden, like the joe biden many democrats wanted to support initially, could have the potential to be that strong nominee. he kind of vanished in all these debates. that victory was important for him. now, whether or not it will move forward and increase as we look at super tuesday, whether bloomberg will come into play, whether elizabeth warren will maintain some strength, i don't know. it remains to be seen, but i think many voters who do support joe biden took a sigh of relief when they saw him take that stage and act like the joe biden they know. >> always smiles when you're winning. president trump had something to say about this, and he's tweeted that sleepy joe biden's victory in the south carolina primary should be the end of mike bloomberg's joke of a campaign. after the worst debate performance in the history of presidential debates, mini mike is taking many voters away.

the president weighed right in. pete: quite right. at these rallies, framing of his opponents half political analysts, and in this case, this is a nightmare scenario for mike bloomberg. if biden raises up from the ashes -- he did tell us he's alive. [laughter] anyway, but as he increases, that hurts bloomberg's i'm the alternative argument, and it could quickly become a bernie/biden race. that'll be the story on tuesday. jedediah: in the meantime, talking about bloomberg, the man of -- the king of the soda and salt bans, he has come out and bought a three minute prime time ad. we're going to show you a bit and then talk about it. take a look. >> it's the job of the president to reassure the public that he or she is taking all the necessary steps to protect the health and well-being of every citizen. pete: the magic of tv. that looks a lot like --

dean: like to value office. tv is magical. you can make things appear like anything, appear presidential, of course, and that statement that he gave there, the trump campaign had to come right back and say mike bloomberg is shamelessly politicizing the issue and only further exposing himself as a unserious candidate. he's a joke. jedediah: bloomberg has this reputation of coming in with cash and nothing but cash. he went on that debate stage the last debate, did a terrible, terrible performance. he has been accused of, you know, this is a guy who comes in at the last minute, who doesn't need to have his name on the ballot in many places and is just going to win with cash. i don't know that this helps him, somehow seeming presidential on the coronavirus, looks like he's in the oval office. yeah, anyone can pay for that. that is not leadership. pete: yeah. but if you've spent as much as he's spent already, you might as well do every -- put an

exclamation point on your half a billion dollars you've spent and try to win. i don't think it works that way. i'm remindedded of what barack obama did in 2008. remember, he bought 30 minutes of television time on multiple networks and base withically did an infomercial. here's the big difference, barack obama had a movement. he had an inspiring message that people were gravitating to. that was the final exclamation point whereas michael bloomberg, we don't know who his supporters are right now. biden has the same problem. you don't meet enthusiast withic biden supporters. -- enthusiastic biden supporters. jedediah: and barack obama showed up on the debate stage. that was in addition to everything else that he was doing right in order to make himself a force in that election. bloomberg is just doing these little appearances, and when it comes time to debate, he vanishes. well, we're going to hear more from bloomberg, there's a town hall monday at 6:30 p.m., kudos to him for doing that.

let's see if he has a different vibe, different energy than he has on the debate stage, and i'm sure he'll face touch questions. pete: that's going to be fun. jedediah: good for him for doing it. he seems to not be scared, give him credit where credit due. pete: joe biden's going to be later on today on on "fox news sunday," so they're facing a different audience, and we'll see if they can gain some momentum from that. we shall see. i'm sincerely fascinating. all these votes are at stake, it's going to be late into the night, early in the morning, you and i are going to be talking to voters -- dean: a really interesting morning. pete: it's been a busy weekend. and yesterday it was announced life on our program, we covered the fact that there's a peace deal between the u.s. and the taliban signed in qatar. and, you know, a lot -- it's triggering a lot of conversation

about people who have been invested and involved in those conflicts for a couple of decades. the president spoke about this at cpac. here's what he had to say. >> today the united states signed a deal with the taliban so that we can hopefully begin the immediately process of finally bringing our troops back home. in exchange for the taliban's action against al-qaeda and other terrorists who can threaten us, we're prepared to begin those force withdrawals. and if the taliban and the afghan government live up to their commitments -- and they may or they 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, not even close, will be are over. pete: he ran on this. dean: he ran on it, said he'd do it, and he's doing something again he said he would get done. whether that holds, that's the question. trust a little bit but verify a

lot. i think that a lot of eyes are going to be watching the taliban and how they react. if they really do follow the plan, and a lot of people are dubious about that. earlier with you, pete, you spoke to the former deputy commanding general of u.s. forces in afghanistan, and he praised the president on this deal. >> i think this is the president showing very strong leadership and accomplishing what he said he was going to do. this has been something that the country has needed for several years now. my feeling is that we accomplished our mission a long time ago in afghanistan by defeating al-qaeda there. the taliban wants power. we threw them out of power in 2001, and so this will be a bumpy road, but it's our best shot. pete: it's a fair assessment. the taliban does want power. how long do they abide by the agreement -- they're going to lie to us, and they're going to try to challenge the afghan government. our own security is what has to be the most important. isis, al-qaeda, people who

attempt to strike us, keeping that at bay. jedediah: and politically i think that the timing is significant for trump, because it is a campaign promise fulfilled. he's heading into this election, and he is going to be able to check a lot of boxes of campaign promises. often times people run for office and they come in and they don't get a lot done. this is a president who ran on things and one by one you can check off the list, the economy, regulation, border security, when it comes to foreign policy, he really did what he said he was going to do, and i think's going to be very impactful for many americans around the country who say, listen, you got what you with paid for in a sense. you elected this guy, he did what he said he was going to do, that makes him different. dean: lindsey graham said yesterday, i don't know, you've done all of this, all these list of accomplishments while dealing with impeachment, i think the word he used i won't use on the air this morning because it's early, b.s. is the short version of it, and he said you did all of it even while facing all this

adversity. pete: rest assured they're going to stay focused on it, because if it goes sideways with the taliban, you've got to do something about that. jedediah: we're going to turn to some headlines now. the acting i.c.e. director telling fox news new york's law puts the country at risk. he's saying what is unbelievable is new york comets to give that information -- continues to give that information to canadian law enforcement but won't share with their own. new york governor andrew cuomo says he's willing to make a teal on the law. an unprecedented third election in less than an year, current prime minister benjamin netanyahu will fight to keep his job, and part of his campaign is familiar. the prime minister appearing on this poster reading keep israel great. [laughter] obviously, mirroring president

trump's keep america great slogan. netanyahu is israel's longest serving prime minister. and a man pops the question to his longtime girlfriend while anxiously awaiting president trump's arrival. check it out. [applause] jedediah: the former president of boise state college republicans proposing to the current vp, he even enlisted the help of strangers and guess what? she said yes. i like a good story like that. dean: a rough ending if -- jedediah: that would not have been good. well played, i like it.

texas. i don't think there's much chance at all, actually. pete: okay, but what about -- okay, let's go to the primary in a couple of days. texas democrats. you think of texas, you think of a red state. are they more conservative as democrats or are they the austin types, keeping texas weird? what kind of voters do you have on -- >> they're all over the place. clearly, we have many different democratic choices, so i think bernie's around 30% polling, so roughly one-third of the democratic voters are lean aring his way. but even among democrats they're not fully supporting any particular candidate in texas. pete: help me out then, look at this poll if univision also showed, and this is the type of poll sanders will cite to his supporters because beating trump is the most important thing to democrats, it shows that sanders and the president are tied, 45-45 with 10% undecided. do you think -- you know, what do you make of a number like that? >> we have had close races in texas recently, but i honestly

believe because of trump's record, what he's done for our state, what he's done for our country in the last four years, i think he's going to do better than he did four years ago. and the polls didn't indicate last time where he was going to fall, and i think people are going tock surprised how well -- to be surprised how well he does this time. pete: why is there so much attention, we saw beto o'rourke's candidacy didn't come to fruition. >> we're a big state, it's an important state, we're tenth largest economy in the world by ourselves. we make a difference in a lot of different ways from jobs to votes. pete: last thing real quick, i'm going to make you play prognosticator. joe biden had a big night last night, who wins texas for the democrats on tuesday? >> you know, i would say right now bernie's probably going to win, but i think biden's going to do better than expected. he's got momentum coming out of

south carolina, and i think people were paying anticipation. i think that gives him momentum coming into texas. pete: there you go. ken paxtop, attorney general of texas -- paxton, attorney general of texas. >> have a great day. pete: a washington state man becomes the first to die in this country from the coronavirus. a live report on the latest efforts to contain the spread, coming up. i can breathe again! ahhhh! i can breathe again! ughh! vicks sinex. breathe on.

m. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, all of this such an evolving situation. rhode island is now reporting its first presumptive positive case of coronavirus. this in addition to two new cases in illinois and in santa clara county here in california. the santa clara case is that county's fourth, and the woman affected is a direct contact of the case officials announced on friday. these come at the same time we're learning of the first coronavirus death here on u.s. soil. a man from washington state in his 50s with underlying health conditions died overnight friday. he had no travel history and was presumed to be a case of community spread. president trump and the coronavirus task force expressing their condolences for that person and his family during a briefing at the white house yesterday. the president telling the country that despite this loss, americans should remain calm. >> there's no reason to panic at all. this is something that is being handled professionally. >> reporter: in addition to

screening travelers prior to boarding from surgeon designated high risk countries or areas within those countries, they will be screened when they arrive in america. president trump tweeting this tweet this morning, just moments ago, and we're also learning the famed louvre museum in paris is closing it doors temporarily due to the epidemic. new cases bring the total cases in the united states up to 72 including americans evacuated from wuhan and that diamond princess cruise ship that was docked in japan. and health officials say the risk of the virus to the general public is low right now, but that we should expect to see more cases of covid-19 here in the united states. jed dean? jedediah: thank you so much. let's bring in dr. jeanette

neshawat. it's hard not to panic. >> absolutely. it's a novel virus, it's understandable to be fearful, but we should not panic. we should just be aware and be understanding and have the knowledge of what's going on. it's important also to understand our president trump, our vice president pence are taking up precedented steps to not only protect us, protect americans and look out for our health and well-being, but they are providing funding and sources, pt es we call it, protective personal equipment, gowns, gloves, masks so that doctors, nurses, people like myself have all the resources so we are armed with all the tools we need to take care of patients. and we are ready. we have the most advanced medicine and technology in the world, and we are putting it to use. dean: it's good to hear that you think the administration is doing the right thing. us as citizens, so the louvre museum closing down, should we be avoiding places like museums and travel and things of that

nature? >> in places where there are outbreaks, absolutely. but that doesn't mean you can't travel, you just have to take common sense precautions. the number one way to prevent the spread of infection is keep your hands clean. if you're sick, stay home. stay away from people that you know are sick. also important, get plenty of sleep, rest. the body heals when we're sleeping. you know, get a healthy diet. these little things can help keep you healthy. jedediah: what happens if someone does become symptomatic? what do they do? >> sure. if you have chest patienting fever, shortness of breath, you can't breathe, that sort of thing, call ahead to the emergency room or your doctor and we'll direct you where to go and what to do so we can prepare for your arrival and put you in a room, isolate you, quickly put you in a mask so we know you're coming and not potentially expose other people. jedediah: and i'm guessing there are tests to properly test. if you call your doctor and say, hey, are you able to test for

often. president trump has this unique ability in national politics to zing in on a candidate's weak point and just brand him with it. he was a brander and a builder, right? that's what he did before. and he just has this ability to stick a label on you that just never gets away, and the mini mike bit yesterday, i mean, you all probably watched it like i did. the audience was just in stitches, it was hilarious. dean: we happen to have a clip of that right here. >> mini mike, but i think he's out of it.
