bloomberg and donald trump and with joe biden with donald trump. all 3 beat them. >> i don't weigh it. -- buy it. when president trump takes the stage against biden, sanders or bloomberg, he has a good match up regardless of who comes out of it. >> a tweet from the west wing. pete buttigieg is out. all of his super tuesday votes go to sleepy joe biden. this is the beginning of the democracy taking bernie sanders out of play. no nomination again. what is your sense about how that plays out on the left? >> i think they will go all the way to milwaukee. i believe that bernie sanders will probably go in with the plurality of the delegates and the democrats will take it away

from the vote of the people and put someone else forward, maybe biden. the president's accomplishments on taxes and reforms and funding our military and helping our veterans, taking china to task and getting trade deals with mexico and canada, people will ask themselves: am i better off now than 4 years ago? they will say yes and vote for donald trump. >> bill: unemployment rate is low in north carolina. 4.0? >> that's right. we have record high employment of minorities and women. job creation numbers are great. the markets are skittish now with the coronavirus. you look at where we were 401-ks or retirement, the wage earners are increasing their wages. there are so many things the president can talk about. the democrats will give you the green deal and medicare for all.

i don't think that will resonate. >> bill: off we go to november. now to the virus, the news from the state of washington. 6 deaths there. a debate on capitol hill. what is the right number? >> shame on the democrats for politicizing this. this is a time where we have to have our thoughts and prayers out to the victims and their families of the coronavirus. 2.5 billion dollars is not all inclusive. that's the first step to mobilize money that is already being spent. rather questioning the numbers, why don't we get started. figure out where we need to put healthcare support. figure out what we can do to accelerate the investigation of the vaccines and treatments for those who get the illness and stop playing politics. 2.5 billion dollars is a first

start. the threat here in the united states, we can add to that. we should not be bickering when people are getting sick. >> bill: how is the white house doing? mike pence is coming to the hill determine. democrats say they will lay into him on this. >> well, the democrats are always trying to figure out ways to undermine the president's progress whether it's on the response to the virus or on anything else he is trying to do out of the white house and with congress. mike pence was a good pick to lead the effort. i believe they have -- it's odd you would talk resisting 2.5 billion dollars if you want $8 billion or 80 billion dollars. this is to get it started. this is so we can be prepared to deal with this crisis. i hope vice-president pence makes headway with them.

if not shame on the democrats for putting us at further risk. >> bill: there is a lot of concern. i threw out a tweet at noon today asking for questions for an expert that comes up in 10 minutes from now. they just kept coming in from across the country. how do you answer this question, senator? >> well, the first thing we have to do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. recognize this is a flu-like virus. take proper precautions, but not over-react or make sure that deal with it in the same way you deal with a serious flu season. particularly people with under-lying health conditions who are most at risk of dying from the illness. maintain calm and prepare for the worst. hope for the best. i know this president and our congress, republicans in congress are going to do

everything to make us best prepared to get through this season and hopefully have time next year for a vaccine. >> bill: thanks for your time. we will look at north carolina tonight. president trump meeting with drug makers about speeding up the effort to make a coronavirus vaccine. u.s. health officials have confirmed 80 cases in 10 states. 40 are here. kristin. >> the coronavirus jumped to the top of the agenda when president trump sits down with these top executives from pharmaceutical companies in a few moments at the white house. issue number 1 is how fast can the u.s. get a vaccine? >> we have a big meeting with the most powerful companies. hopefully the smartest companies anywhere in the world. when it comes to vaccines. we are talking about a vaccine,

maybe a cure if that is possible. and then moving quickly. >> another topic that may come up in this meeting that is set to start any moment. drug shortages. u.s. drug shortages due to supply chain distributions in china. the fda identified about 20 dugs that get their main ingredients in china. it's something that could be disruptive for americans. but at this point in time the white house is saying they only identified 1 drug that led to any shortages. they don't see any immediate drug shortages other than that one reported last week. >> bill: i thought the briefing by the senator was interesting to talk about iran and south korea and italy. what about new travel restrictions?

>> president trump said it's possible. it's evaluated on an hour by hour basis at the white house. over the weekend there were high-profile new ones. specifically the administration banning any foreign national who has visited iran within the last 14 days from entering the united states. the administration increazed trav travel advisories to italy and president trump talked about restricting travel between the u.s. and mexico. hopefully we will get an update from the president in a few momths. -- moments. then we will get a briefing from vice-president pence in the briefing room. we have 4 briefings from the president or senior administration officials within the last 5 days. >> bill: waiting for all of

>> bill: your forecast could be true if that's the case. what do we think about that? >> we think about what measures we can take as a society and individuals to protect ourselves. we all have an interest in slowing the spread of this virus. >> bill: no doubt. >> individually we have that interest to protect ourselves and as a society, the more we slow it down, fewer people will get it. if you get it it's better to get it a long time from now than now because we will know more about how to treat it. and it will reduce the burden on the healthcare system. >> bill: personal responsibility is a big point. we are getting questions from the audience by the hundreds. here's number 1:

on twitter, has a vaccine been createed to combat the virus and if so how long until it's available to doctors across the country? i thought the answer was a year. has that changed, sir? >> a candidate experimental vaccine has been created. we don't know if it works yet. the last i heard a year and a half to two years before a vaccine is approved and ready for use if all goes well. >> bill: you and others, we want it faster than that. this person writes: is it safe to fly in the usa? anything we can do on the airplane? you flew over the weekend. what is your answer? >> i did fly over the weekend. at this point because we don't know what the level of infection is in the u.s. because we have not been testing widely, it's hard to give an evidenced base

answer. i would fly again this weekend. that's a personal choice. >> bill: another one. what is the difference between covid-19 and the flu? this has come up a lot, mark. >> that's a great question. they are both viruss and they are distantly related in the viral world. covid-19 is a coronavirus. influenza is a different group. they both infect the lungs and the spread of covid-19 seems to be pretty -- has many things this common with the spread of the flu. >> bill: one more here: do we need to stock up on food because it's going to affect everyone? how do you answer that, mark?

>> i think that's one aspect of readiness. get up-to-date on your vaccine because that will keep you out of contact with the healthcare system which is not where you want to be in the middle of a pandemic. if you smoking if you can. you need your lung function to deal with this infection. if you are a worker outside of the home, you should find ways to, especially if you are sick, to not go in. employers should not have the workers come in when they are sick. it's good for the uninfected co-workers and good for business. >> bill: is the media fanning the flames? >> it's really hard to get the right balance. the most important thing is for

people to try to convert the fear and anxiety that everyone feels into positive action. that helps to relieve the anxiety and helps to slow the virus. protecting one's self and community and loved ones safe set of action. >> bill: thanks for your time and knowledge. 3:30 here on the east coast. michael bloomberg just a day away from his first appearance on the ballots in the 2020 race. his national spokesperson will join me live on his chances. then live in texas. that's a top super tuesday prize. where amy klobuchar is set to endorse joe biden during an appearance there tonight. where can a healthier heart lead you? for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant;

here. at the end of the day, we are talking about someone who was a former mayor of new york who created over half a million jobs here. took on the nra and big tobacco. they want people to deliver in the white house. i believe the only person that can do that is mike. >> bill: last point. he spent $500 million so far give or take a little. florida is in 15 days. he wants to compete there heavily. could he be at a billion dollars by the 17th of march? >> well, we said we will spend whatever it takes to beat donald trump. we believe we are the best candidate to defeat donald trump. >> bill: that could be a high price tag. thanks for joining us. looking forward to the town hall tonight. check it out with bret baier and martha maccallum. former vice-president joe biden campaigning in texas, the second
