12:00 pm
race. >> dana: thank you for my will see you tonight. thank you for joining us, everybody and i will see what 5:00. bill hemmer, we will see you tonight. >> she is the kid in the group, she is 70. see you. >> bill: fox news alert now, we all know that coronavirus has claimed nine americans. right now president trump is on the ground in maryland with top health officials. we will monitor that for you in a moment. also coming up, we will talk with the new york city mayor bill de blasio about the outbreak and also about super tuesday. he supports bernie sanders, his votes are now at the polls in 14 states. in the mayor's live in studio in moments but first, there is this. at least 22 dead confirmed in tennessee, tornadoes tearing across that state. this is a video of a powerful twister that ripped through
12:01 pm
nashville, then here is the destruction it left behind. president trump says he will be on the ground on friday, steve harrigan is on the ground today and we begin this hour with you, hello. >> it is all hands on deck here in nashville. you can see trying to do what they can with buzz saws going everywhere trying to get trees off of roofs, trees off of garages, everywhere you look. the death toll has risen throughout the morning and is now at 22. talk to people who lived through this, who survived. 1:00 in the morning, 160-mile-an-hour and a tornado dropped right out of this guy here. people heard the warnings and had a moment to make life or death decisions. here's a mother who saved her son. >> we just heard all of them implode and crack, i've never experienced before so it was definitely a surreal moment and
12:02 pm
we got out of our pile of blankets, came out here and it was like a war zone. >> she grabbed her son and ran, the worst of it could be 80 miles to the east and putnam, 14 dead, that number likely arrived, the damage is so intense they are still going door to door to try and find, tough getting around with downed power lines, down phone lines and as you mentioned, scheduled to be here on friday to determine the wreckage. back to you. >> bill: not, and that he hits a major metropolitan area, how much warning did they have? >> they had warnings in central tennessee and as those warnings got closer, people had to make a determination. a lot of people, it was just seconds, grab your child, a very rough night for central tennessee. >> bill: steve harrigan on the
12:03 pm
ground, good work and you can tell that people in tennessee, the volunteer stated that it is already hard at work to clean things up. in a moment back to tennessee but first, the shape of the democratic field could change by the time super tuesday is over. at the moment, voters heading to the polls, 14 different states at stake, more than 1300 delegates. takes about 1900 to clinch the nomination. team fox coverage on the three candidates everybody's talking about right now, mike bloomberg makes his debut on the ballot today. can bernie sanders lop it up today or will joe biden steal his vote? going to start with our team here in new york, served as advisor for former president obama, first, hello, what does michael bloomberg been today? >> right now, sitting at about 19% of the vote, running strongly in a number of for tuesday's states if i had to bet now, he will get delegates in
12:04 pm
virtually every state so i think the answer is we will see when the polls close but he's been doing steadily better and with this consolidation around joe biden, it has firmed up and gotten bigger. >> bill: i didn't hear a state where he would win today. we met we will see. the polling arrow shows that he is competitive in states like virginia and tennessee, oklahoma, doing well in texas. >> i will let you off the hook for now, may not be so simple. >> i think you're saying what everyone's calling it and obviously last night, it's been one direction of momentum. i think he's going to outperform tonight. on saturday probably going to be three to 400 delegates away from bernie. could be inside 200 and i think is going to win a lot and outperform and maybe win virginia. >> bill: you've got a story to
12:05 pm
tell after south carolina and all the establishment coming behind joe biden the last 72 hours. so you've got the bloomberg team, the biden team and martha is the arbiter, martha maccallum joins our coverage. how do you see it breaking? >> is interesting, we spoke to mike bloomberg last night at his town hall with him. i found his answers so interesting. he sort of is somewhere in between democrat and republican in the way he looks at the economy, there were several times where he asked questions about president trump pence that i actually agree with him on what he did, i just don't like the way he doesn't so the big question i think for him is who is his constituency? what state does he win them back what mike bloomberg's home? he may establish that but with regard to joe biden, i find it fascinating how quickly everyone has rallied around this candidate who everyone for so long seems to think was either not up to the job form is not the right person for the job. president obama has an
12:06 pm
endorsement, david axelrod said negative things across the board so suddenly, there is this rally around him which i don't know if he can hold up to it or not. >> bill: pete buttigieg drops out, endorses biden, amy klobuchar does the same thing mile we were crunching the numbers earlier, i think the question is where do they go? i think at least three of the four states, it appears north carolina was at six or 7% on that vote that could be up for grabs in virginia it appears to be 7% as well in texas appears to be around 5%. regardless, all three of those numbers could swing in first or second place finish and i, would you agree? >> not only do i agree, the polls that i've seen that was done yesterday shows that that was five to 7% in texas, virginia, and north carolina moving in the direction now of joe biden. >> i would agree but i think
12:07 pm
come tomorrow, we are probably going to know that no one can get a majority in the topic we are always going to be talking now is plurality. you're going to go to georgia, florida, mississippi. the industrial midwest with pennsylvania, wisconsin. that's where his strength is. bill: pennsylvania comes in april but george is late march. you can hear the argument already if there still standing. >> you have to wonder if at some point they have any second questions about rallying behind joe biden hen if they are looking for a possible alternative and i think mike bloomberg's decision to stay in this is to say as long as you can get a certain number of delegates, can break that 15% mark in texas born some of these places that he makes that argument for the alternative. >> bill: are you in that
12:08 pm
business? >> i am not really. i think martha is right. bloomberg will do somewhat better than people are now anticipating, this is a race that has changed two or three times in the last three weeks and i think it will be very close between biden and bernie. >> i think we will have 2 between 15 and 20%. i think bernie's going to do very well tonight and i think that he has a constituency that is solid but i question how much it's grown and is joe biden a viable alternative to bernie sanders? >> bill: it is a terrific book. is a great feed and an awesome tribute to your fans. congratulations. >> many families who have members participating in world war ii, so many of them i am hearing from every single day. >> bill: thank you, michael bloomberg making his debut today already looking
12:09 pm
ahead to florida. voters they are at the polls in two weeks and jacqui heinrich's they are in west palm beach where bloomberg is holding a rally later tonight. >> former mayor mike bloomberg is not parsing words in his short tour of florida today, he says the only way he could win the nomination is the right contested convention, something that hasn't happened for decades and he's also shaking up pressure to consolidate moderate support around former vice president joe biden. bloomberg told reporters he has no intention of dropping out of the race and even said his candidacy is taking votes away from him. today will be the first test of his candidacy after skipping the first state, hedging his bets on super tuesday and after senator amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg dropped out of the race ahead of super tuesday endorsing biden and what is looking like an apparent bid to stop senator bernie sanders from securing the nomination, bloomberg rejected pressure to reconsider his campaign instead saying a contested convention is part of the rulebook.
12:10 pm
>> i don't think i could win any other ways, but contested convention is a democratic process. i find it offensive that bernie sanders for the last time he ran was in favor of that kind of a convention and now as opposed to it. i suppose where you stand depends on where you sit. >> bloomberg sang the democratic party should not award the nomination to a candidate who fall short of the majority. shifted his stance from 2016 now arguing the candidate with the most delicate should be the nominee even if they don't have a majority. bloomberg also taking shots at sanders stopping in miami's little havana saying that voters here will take fondly to someone who has spoken kindly of the likes of fidel castro and repeating his arguments that the nomination would be toxic to down ballot democrats. >> bill: see you later tonight on the board now behind me, this is where we are on the calendar, it is super tuesday. the day we've talked about for months and here are the
12:11 pm
delegates at stake on the line. it clearly runs of the state of california, 415 delegates up for grabs today. early voting been happening there for some time as well. complaints would have to be the state of texas given the 220 delegates on the line there, does bernie sanders do well with the hispanic vote or does joe biden cut into that lead in the state of texas? also here on the east coast, north carolina closes on the early side. will get an indication as to whether this thre three way racs shaping up and then i would point to virginia on the east coast, get the first hour between seven and 8:00 eastern time essence of where these 99 delegates will be distributed. i mention this in a moment ago, keep this in mind on the road to the nomination, that's where you have to get 9,991. as we begin the night tonight, bernie sanders at 60, joe biden at 54 and on down the line we go. in a moment, new york city's

12:15 pm
12:16 pm
>> bill: there are nine americans dead in the coronavirus outbreak, president trump wrapping around table on the ground in maryland meeting at the national institutes of health, the outbreak still rattling markets. a live look at the dow up yesterday, down again today bouncing around half more than the hundred 50 points only hours after they slashed interest rates. professor of medicine, nyu medical center and also fox news contributor. i want to get to the questions that we solicited from viewers and there are many. they selected a handful, first in washington state, the fatalities we are seeing now. >met the national quarantine center in nebraska which is we were looking at 14 cases of coronavirus, very closely and they've determined the elderly and those who have chronic health conditions are most at risk of severe complications
12:17 pm
including pneumonia and death. so the washington state cases circled around this nursing home where people were sick and people are older and that's why that happen. either way, it is terrible but it's also reassuring from the point of view that there are many mild cases out there. >> bill: let me try to get as many as i can. quickly rapid-fire, since this is also flu season, when flu symptoms are present. >> the symptoms are different. flu is more like muscle aches and fever, coronavirus higher fever, shortness of breath and coughing and your chest. i can tell the difference clinically but the answer is if the flu test is negative if i had that coronavirus that's available, i would do it. head of fda has now set up to a million kids are going to be sent around, that number is probably a little exaggerated but several hundred thousand kids will be sent around to major medical centers, they will take several hours to get results but they will be testing
12:18 pm
them. >> bill: how are they treating the ones in isolation, meds were just waiting it out? >> intravenous, they are using antiviral drug but it's on a clinical trial so you could be getting the placebo. one of the patients in nebraska did extremely well, i just don't know if he actually got the drug were not. >> bill: is it possible that the my virus to mutate could be out of date, otherwise ineffective when it comes out in nine to 12 months? >> a brilliant question because this is an unstable virus. the answer is almost definitely it won't mutate that much. is getting more acclimated to humans. the vaccine they are working on now is going to work in my opinion. >> bill: is it true the incubation period could be longer than 14 days? >> that is where all the fear is coming from, the fact is most of the time it is less than a week
12:19 pm
so there are outliers that occasionally rarely seen more than 14 days. it doesn't change the paradigm. the vast majority of the time, it is way less than that. >> bill: flu numbers in america over the past 14 months now is staggering. here are the numbers. at least 32 million flu illnesses in america, 300,000 hospitalizations in over 18,000 deaths. >> was already out of date, that the virus we really need to worry about is the flu. we are worried about this because it's emerging and we don't know where it's going to go yet but if nothing else comes out of this, all the social distancing, all this disinfecting of services, forgot to bring the disinfectant here, so that's a good thing. >> bill: you have the virus and you sneeze on this table, how long does it last? >> probably more than a day but the most contagious time will be the first several hours.
12:20 pm
that's one of the ways that you can catch it is from surfaces. the most common way is somebody sneezing or coughing up close to you. >> bill: a lot more questions to get to. to. >> if you are sick, that's when you need it. you are healthy, that's not going to help. >> bill: in a moment back to tennessee. 2,000 dead and the tornadoes they are talking to a survivor who hidden her closet when the twister hit. she will tell us what it felt like when it hit her building. and checking in on the battle for the second biggest prize in super tuesday, the communications director in texas, the state's democratic party will join me live coming up in a moment. you can refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out-of-pocket costs. new day usa has extended their call center hours so every veteran can take advantage of these near historic low rates. activate your v.a. benefit now.

12:25 pm
delegates up for grabs, more than 10% of the total needed to win the nomination. last night in dallas, joe biden excepting endorsements from former presidential candidate amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg. the state democratic communications director, thank you for your time and it's been a crazy week, what happens tonight? >> it has been a crazy week. the important thing to know is they are the biggest battleground state in the country. seeing unprecedented enthusiasm from national partners, from state partners and from everybody. you look at the last seven polls in a row have him losing her tied in the state of texas, the last four polls in a row which is dismal for an incumbent. they have named texas their focal point for their offensive strategy, targeting seven states and in texas, taking the texas state house which is really interesting because
12:26 pm
beto o'rourke actually won a majority in 2018 so we have every state. >> bill: what if bernie sanders wins texas? >> it doesn't matter if the candidate wins texas because the whole entire thing is driving this is the fascination with donald trump. >> bill: i am writing a note from you that says a lot of people and freaking out about a sanders ticket here in texas. is that the case? >> not from us. i can tell you this, they have a very good chance to win texas and the reason for that is the border wall is taking away from texans lands, texans don't like that. >> bill: did you say people are freaking out about a sanders ticket for not? >> definitely not. that was not me. i can tell you right now that nobody is freaking out about any democrat. we are excited about all the democratic contenders and to be honest you're no matter who it is, we are going to be able to
12:27 pm
win texas. >> bill: early votes, how many? >> we have had over a million early voters in the democratic primary which is way higher than 2016, higher than we've had in the long time and shows you exactly the energy and enthusiasm here. >> bill: last point here, here's how it breaks between donald trump. you saw what bernie sanders did nevada with the hispanic vote. does he do the same in texas? >> it is too early to tell exactly how it's going to go and during this primary so we can talk about the different candidates and what their coalitions look like what you are seeing here is that no matter who the candidate is, they're going to be able to flip the state of texas and there has never been a better time to be a texas democrat. >> bill: i am told you said those words we will track it down. giving you one last chance. did you or did you not say that? >> we love all the democratic
12:28 pm
candidates, there is no freaking out about any of them, any of them can be donald trump. >> bill: thank you, sir. good luck tonight. bill de blasio was backing bernie sanders and the mayor in a moment we'll talk about that tuesday and the possibility of more coronavirus here in the city. >> let us have the higher voter turnout in the history of the utah primary. with this campaign is about is us, not me. maria ramirez?

12:33 pm
worker, came back from iran, seems pretty healthy overall, she will do okay, an older gentleman had some pre-existing respiratory conditions and is now hospitalized and we are concerned about him. >> bill: apparently she flew back here to new york, was in a private car and she checked herself into the hospital and then she went home, correct? >> she went home and she had symptoms in later days, she reached out to the hospital, went there, got tested, et cetera, came back home so she is a professional. >> bill: how is it we see americans come off that cruise ship that they go straight to nebraska because they have a fever, why is she able to take care of yourself at home and why is that okay? >> for someone who is reasonably healthy like this, you want them to be in a home setting. here's the thing about coronavirus according to our health care professionals. it's going to manifest like a cold or the common flu. that's the thing to understand, the vast majority of cases are
12:34 pm
not the scary unknown disease, they actually play out like something we all know pretty well. so if someone is reasonably healthy, they can be at home. you want to keep them away from everyone else. just going in a car somewhere is not enough. >> bill: just trying to get the distinction between why he would send someone to a medical facility in nebraska and why you would allow someone to come home to the city of million people. >> each locale may have its own standards in our public health capacity is pretty renowned around the country but it also depends on the conditions of the individual. someone who is in a different reality. >> bill: you said yesterday same day service in new york, test kits adequate in numbers, are you prepared? >> the federal government, they did something is right but one thing they really missed the ball on was getting that testing capacity, we finally have it, going to make a world of difference. >> bill: what is the plan if you get an outbreak in the city of new york, what do we do? >> we have to try to stay ahead
12:35 pm
of it. we have two confirmed cases, so we have time to prepare. but it is crucial. >> bill: what happens tonight? >> i feel very good, i will tell you. early voting alone i think bernie has done an amazing job of reaching those early voters and getting them out. has been underestimated and you sought in nevada, the ground game is far beyond any other candidate. bernie voters really care, they're going to show up today. i think it is a very strong position that ends the night when the voting is finally done whenever that is nowadays with a clear delicate lead and to be in the driver's seat and it's going to be bernie versus joe biden. that contrast is extraordinary for folks who want the status quo, folks who want to change this country, going to be bernie sanders and there's a lot
12:36 pm
of working people in this country that don't like the status quo and they want an outsider they can believe in. >> bill: all the policies that you bernie sanders, what is america look like? >> a looks like a more fair place for working people. and it's a free enterprise system, a system where people can take plenty of initiative and have plenty of rights but finally, you know that you can get health care that you are not going to be devastated by a medical bill, that you know your government is actually trying to stop global warming before it destroys the lives of children and grandchildren. i think at what cost? >> bill: medicare for all, the estimates are between 14 and $36 trillion. 13 at the low-end period. prenew deal starts with $10 trillion. >> the problem is taking us back to a point bernie made. a very powerful analogy he made in the debate. at the beginning of
12:37 pm
world war ii, we had effectively no military. over the course of just two or three years produce the biggest military in the world, drove back the japanese. this country when the focus can do amazing things. we have to stop global warming we have to get health care. >> bill: estate other than vermont where bernie sanders beats donald trump? >> the polling is consistent including some of your own polling by this network. >> bill: here's an example, going to be hotly contested, just in the last week or so, this is what we heard from bernie sanders. >> went to fidel castro came into office, you know what he did? he had a national literacy program. i think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. cuba made progress on education. really? when dictatorships whether it is
12:38 pm
the chinese or the cubans do something good, you acknowledge that. >> bill: how does that win in florida? >> i don't think that's what people care about when they cast their vote. i think about their jobs, their families, their health care. we are not going to replay the cold war in the 2020 election. it's going to be about people's standard to live it living, when the next generation can do better than they have done which whether we are going to survive on this earth. we can't afford to make these investments but to your point, the vast majority of national polls show him beating trump in wisconsin, including in michigan and pennsylvania. to think working-class folks. who he can appeal to you in a way that no other democrat can. >> bill: what is it between you and mike bloomberg? >> i think what he did in this city is only beginning to be recognized.
12:39 pm
stop and frisk alone creates a tremendous division in our community. i think because of his wealth, he got away with a lot now there's a reckoning. >> bill: you hold that against him? if you use your money to mask the truth, that bothers me. a lot of people wouldn't call him out, but it's actually pretty amazing that they show democracy is alive and well, does it matter that he's one of the richest guys in the world. >> bill: they sent me a long list of allegations that they hold against you as mayor. >> i'm shocked. first of all, they're wrong. my administration has been there for working people from the beginning and we are perfectly clean and consistent in what we do. but mike bloomberg divided police and community and set us back in a lot of ways and the truth is coming out. >> bill: is a personal? he did not endorse you during your primary years ago.
12:40 pm
>> i would never expect him to, it is personal in the sense that we don't have personal chemistry, that's a true statement but it's much more about beliefs. i don't know how a democrat goes and joins the republican party for expediency and supports george w. bush for president in 2004 then comes around in 2020 and says i want to be the democratic nominee. >> bill: he says against his will if bernie sanders was a nominee, he would support him. would you support mike bloomberg? >> of course. even though i disagree with him, i can tell you the things i agree with him on and i think crime and public health and he unquestionably to me would be a better president than donald trump. >> bill: is milwaukee going to be a mess? >> i think what will happen is it won't be tomorrow but i do think the momentum is with bernie. he's doing great and pennsylvania. he is going to win this by the will of the voters. i don't see a contested convention, i see a bernie sanders victory through
12:41 pm
the voters. >> bill: you said you see him pointing pennsylvania over joe biden. >> absolutely because of the passion he generates. working people, young people, seeing more and more multigenerational and multiracial coalitions. bernie sanders gets people to feel something because he is real. they can tell he cares about working people. i would tell you something, outside donald trump, outsider, ronald reagan wins, one of the going to get the message that being an outsider is a good thing. >> bill: i hope you come back and i hope more people like you come back because we could have a fair exchange of ideas. >> would also be talking to each other. we are all americans. >> bill: i've got more questions would make them back. we mention bernie sanders, now tracking super tuesday results from his home state. he is in vermont and peter doocy's with him, let's check him there at this juncti junction.
12:42 pm
that's an issue. hang on, we will try to get this in here. i know peter is talking, i can see his lips moving. one more time, there is symbolism as to why he chose that, i will give it one more shot. do you have it? okay. we will see him tonight, so standby on that. meanwhile, we will take you back to the hard-hit city of nashville will but this was like for her and so many others. living in her neighborhood. ♪ limu emu & doug

>> bill: 22 are dead after tornadoes ripped through middle tennessee including parts of
12:47 pm
nashville. right now, the tornado slammed the building. the eye could hear the electricity is out. i thank you for your time. what did you experience last night? >> we know that some severe storms were coming through. i just didn't know how severe they were going to be in around 12:40 p.m., my entire apartment felt like a got hit by a train. was a loud noise, i ran into my room and just kind of waited for it to go through and as soon as it got quiet, i wasn't aware of the extent of everything but then i saw cars overturned and i walked out into my hallway and saw neighbors walking up and down the hallway saying they don't have room in the entire apartment started flooding. >> bill: had you had experience with the tornado before? >> i grew up in texas and we had tornado warnings and never had
12:48 pm

>> bill: joe biden is in the super tuesday state of california, nearly a third of all super tuesday delegates are up for grabs there. former vp coming up big with from south carolina. picking up a lot of endorsements from his former rivals. you had pete buttigieg and amy klobuchar, beto o'rourke. william la jeunesse is at a polling place. how's it going? >> good. no endorsement from senator kamala harris, potential vp pick. joe biden did not campaign in california extensively. he spent zero money on tv had samples of a second-place finish behind bernie sanders. here's the wild card, because of the way california apportions delegates, the question now is is the 4-way race with mayor bloomberg and senator warren reaching the 15%
12:56 pm
threshold necessary to win any delegates or essentially will biden and sanders battle and divvy up the 415 delegates? what do we have to look for today at the polling spot like this? number one, is sanders going to continue to outperform with hispanics which represent about 30% of democratic voters. will black voters, 12% of the electorate, and hillary moderates keep biden in the game? can warren hold on to win in an upscale voters in silicon valley, santa monica, la jolla. bloomberg, the x factor. he spent seven times more than sanders on tv. he's one lucky endorsements including the mayors of san jose and san francisco. here is a snapshot from what we heard from voters. >> i voted for bernie. i hope democrats don't burn him again. >> can he be drunk? yeah. i think we need to get people to go out and vote. >> i ended up voting for biden. >> i honestly don't care who it
12:57 pm
is. anyone besides trump. >> california moved up its primary from june. 3 million or more have already voted. either by mail or early voting. another wild card. democrats have an open primary. about 5 million independent voters can vote today and register today. bill, the difference here is going to be the 15% threshold. about a third of the voters will be determined by how you perform statewide. the other two-thirds of high-performing congressional districts. >> bill: remarkable to see the comparisons. bloomberg has 25 state offices and bernie sanders has 23. joe biden has one in los angel los angeles. >> i think he just basically said with the momentum, south carolina was where he spent his money. he's polling in some cases 25%.
12:58 pm
bernie around 35%. 15% roughly for warren and mayor bloomberg. the question is going to be do they get zero delegates or a lot? >> bill: thank you. l.a. county, william la jeunesse. back on the screen one more time. where have we been, where we going tonight? and the results so far. iowa told us a little bit between buttigieg and sanders and we popped up to new hampshire and then to nevada and over the weekend we saw here in south carolina with joe biden. almost 50%. not a lot of people expected that. on the candidate list, they are dropping like flies in a sense. we have seen buttigieg and tom steyer and andrew yang and klobuchar all fade away and tonight it is joe biden, 77. michael bloomberg, 77. bernie sanders, age 78. elizabeth warren, if she is still surviving tonight in massachusetts and oklahoma, age 70. that's where the races as we look at it tonight.
12:59 pm
coverage starts at 6:00 eastern time with brett and martha and will be here well into midnight to figure out who wins. if we even get that. a final note, we lost a queen of television today. we lost bobbie battista. in the '80s with millions of people of poland, many would erect a legal satellite dishes in their home, given the six hour time difference, battista was alive out of the limo during their prime time hours. she broke the news just so many behind the iron curtain. they consider her royalty. she was also an exceedingly kind woman to this very young and admiring anger. she welcomed me when i was just 30 years old and today we say goodbye. bobbie was 67. we are here every day monday through friday.
1:00 pm
set your dvr. super tuesday later tonight. coverage begins at 6:00 with brett and martha. in the meantime, we watch the seesaw on wall street. "your world" starts now. >> neil: thank you. super worries on the super tuesday that help over voting is going on how the virus is spreading. huge half point rate cut cannot contain the selling. stocks plummeting as interest rates at all-time lows. here's why it might not have any big effect. there are nine confirmed deaths from the coronavirus in washington state. that is up from six yesterday. a second patient is being treated in new york city. so no matter how low interest rates go, this is far more worrisome because we don't know how high it goes
