>> laura: absolutely. >> ed: great to have you toda today. "outnumbered" starts right now. >> laura: see you soon. >> harris: fox news alert. a seismic shift in the 2020 presidential race right now as mike bloomberg suspends his campaign and is now endorsing joe biden. fox news learning that bloomberg called biden this morning, and the two had "a good conversation." his decision comes after a disaster at super tuesday for the former new york city mayor who did not win a single state. bloomberg pumping more than half of the billion dollars into his campaign. with plans to stand until the convention. but now he is saying "after yesterday's results, and has become virtually impossible. i have always believed that beating donald trump starts with a line behind the candidate that has a better shot to do it.

it is clear that that candidate is my friend and great american, joe biden." he responded, thinking bloomberg for his support. this as he and bernie sanders are now emerging as the front runners, biden winning texas, with sanders winning california. at less than 100 delegates now separate the two. this is "outnumbered," and i am melissa francis. here today is harris faulkner, fox news contributor jessica tarlov, and in the center seat, former white house press secretary under george bush and fox news contributor, ari fleischer. and he is outnumbered. i know we are seeing some comments from the president. >> harris: i apologize with opening my stomach the show with my head down. we would possibly be able to show this. some early notes. the president there with the vice president. what he calls the biggest and best, as they are talking with the heads of companies about the

effects of coronavirus on air travel and diseases. just so we know who is in the room from american airlines, gary kelly. alaska airlines. hawaiian airlines. so anything new on the southern border where we were doing so well, dhs is there to give the report. we are looking everyday people as they are coming into our country. so from the air to the border, and as we get more, we will bring it to you, but that is the vice president right now talking. >> melissa: that's important because they are canceling flights around the world out of safe to you. but that's going to do a lot to slow the economy, so i think they are trying to get together to decide when it is going to be safe to be getting some of those flights back on. let's get back to the election. ari fleischer is with us. so, i was looking through all of the estimates this morning. when all is said and done, i think michael bloomberg, who

spent a lot of money on this, which you won't even notice. i do think, though, the learned to his ego -- i mean, he feels good about himself, mike bloomberg. and he has every right to. so much success. can he really throw all that money behind joe biden to be president trump when he just lost? do you think you can get over the emotional part? >> ari: well, running for president is an easy on anybody. you were doing 90 miles per one day, and all of a sudden, you are doing zero the next. and that's life. that's what happens when every candidate has to drop out. the fact that he had money and has to drop out, i don't think the money matters to him. it is a matter of perspective. it is a drop in the bucket. what he wanted was to create an alternative to bernie sanders if joe biden stumbles. >> melissa: but they are saying now he will have access to all the money.

i don't think so -- >> harris: oh, i absolutely d do. issues that he cares about, like gun control. i am reading that two bloomberg campaign and a saying that he and joe biden spoke this morning and had "a good conversation." yeah, i do see it. dagen knows him. >> dagen: as a country girl, i just know a jerk when i see a drink. he didn't spend half of a billion dollars selling ads -- but what is he selling? he was less appealing than flo from progressive insurance, for pete's sake. he was running to work the american people. not the other way around. but a little bit of the money that mike bloomberg spent, if put in the right hand, if it got behind joe biden, it could do a world of good. mike bloomberg would not have endorsed joe biden, if he wasn't planning to support him in some

way. joe biden. he spent -- in just the super tuesday, he spent more than $200 million on tv and internet advertising. that was more than 100 times more than joe biden spent. >> melissa: and ielizabeth warr. he had no one on the ground. and he won. now, what does this say for the second time about how much money? how much infrastructure, ground game. all of those things that we hear so much about. you can't ferret out the window entirely. but it is about the candidate's, right? >> jessica: people are having a field day with this. if you can get yourself a great press secretary, three people who can be on cable news 24 hours a day, pumping at your candidate's message, and you can have good events, you can pull this off. massachusetts was a big whopper of a story about how he managed

to pull that out, but virginia, where turnout doubled from 2016. he spent $243,000 i think, the there. and ended up taking it. >> harris: michael bloomberg spent $18 million. >> jessica: your point about the money, i completely agree with you, here is. he is going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. if you look at what he did in 2010, he backed candidates. he wants to get this done because he will then also be part hero for this. >> harris: so that will be his legacy. >> jessica: he will have gone donald trump out, which is what he said he wanted to do. >> harris: we don't know what is going to happen in november. >> ari: from a presidential level, money does not matter as much. nobody is going to have a shortage of money in the 2020 election, but as tom steyer and mike bloomberg just proved,

money doesn't won elections. >> jessica: which is a good thing. it is good that you can't buy an election. we should all be thrilled about that. >> melissa: what i think you were alluding to, how the late deciders went, that was really fascinating. late deciders went for biden. in alabama, 57%. in minnesota, 55%. north carolina, 49. texas, 39. we thought his first won ever, joe biden, was going to be too close to super tuesday to make a difference. it turns out that's not true. >> jessica: i would add vermont. bernie's home state, even the late deciders went for joe biden. think about that. the special coverage with martha and bret, the most powerful political person. certainly on the democratic side. and i would say with what he's pulled off from where we are

today was joe biden, coming out that forcefully for him and talking about how not only the african-american community knows joe, but the qualities that you want in a president of empathy and understanding and positivity and that unity. it cannot be underestimated. obviously, endorsements from amy and pete mattered a lot, but he should be the chair of joe biden's campaign. >> harris: you disagree. >> ari: there is something more fundamental, and it was joe biden. he moves from a sleep to awake. he showed some energy. he had a strong debate. he showed vigor. that is what brought him back. endorsements are helpful, but they are not about the candidates themselves. the candidate's own. >> jessica: 47% -- >> ari: on the -- >> jessica: they said that jim's endorsement and infected affected it.

>> harris: what he was talking about, the same thing you did. if you watched them in media interviews yesterday and last night, he even said if joe biden can continue on with what we have seen in his speeches and debates -- if he can do that -- >> ari: the endorsement would have been meaningless. >> harris: but what he said, it was a cautionary tale if you watchewatched him yesterday, thn continue to go on. it was an ongoing watch, if you will. in the delivery system of every demographic and age and gender of black voters in south carolina, a lot of that is coming because of jim clyburn. and he says can you continue to do what you are doing? a continuation of this. >> dagen: i watch that whole endorsement. when you have an endorsement like that of jim clyburn that dovetails with the man in the candidate the way that it did with joe biden and what was

heartfelt and compassionate and emotional, that was the perfect marriage. and it resonated with voters. >> melissa: facing another high-stakes test in the contest coming up. what to expect in those battleground states and of the potential 2020 and back next. ♪ here's record-breaking news for veterans. va mortgage rates have dropped to near 50-year lows. newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. newday's va streamline refi makes it fast and easy because there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. i urge you to call newday usa now. güéhky j÷9úmix@0q-b3akuirúñ"÷pk (sensei) a live bookkeeper quickbooks for me.tomize (live bookkeeper) okay, you're all set up.

>> harris: 20 tony democrat set to face another pivotal match up with two more big tuesday contest coming up. voters will be casting their ballots in idaho, michigan, missouri, and washington stage. it then arizona, florida, illinois, and ohio with florida being the top prize on that day. michigan will be next week, the biggest prize. and it has for joe biden in the

battleground states there. bernie sanders scored a narrow upset against miller clinton. you may remember that. but right now, the latest polling is this, showing his biden with nearly a seven-point lead over sanders. i was reading about all the places that he didn't get to. now we have to go many super tuesday's coming up. what do you make of him maybe not having covered as much ground as some of the other candidates? >> ari: you cover grounds through debates. it was very influential. so you can't physically get around everywhere in a presidential race like this. so this is where -- >> harris: if they really want to cover ground, they ought to get on the box. >> ari: that's right. there is a smaller percentage that identify as liberal. i actually went back and looked at this.

texas, virginia, north carolina. some 30% to 40% of democratic voters identify themselves as liberal. in the states that bernie is winning, nearly 40% identifying as liberal. that is a huge split inside the democratic party that will affect the states. michigan is one. >> melissa: i wonder what makes biden different than hillary clinton? maybe we asked jessica. what makes it -- because it feels like a similar candidate and the sense that it is kind of establishment. the last regime. it kind of similar on the issues and where he has more empathy, i would say, then she does, and more realness, he doesn't seem to have that she doesn't have sort of the strength and maybe the sharpness that she does. so i don't know -- why will he do better than she did? >> jessica: i think that people have lived through three years of donald trump, and when you look at the exit polling on

the anger levels of donald trump and that they are looking for someone first and foremost who can win, that's different. in 2016, a lot of people took a chance. right? there were bernie voters who didn't want to go for hillary. just sign voters. moderate republicans who didn't like trump but thought i will give him a chance. neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh. and what you are seeing now with the turnout and he was going for joe biden, a lot of people are saying i didn't like the last three years, right? we gave him a shot, and we want to move on. as for what differentiates them, i do think gender is a factor. i'm not saying that's why elizabeth warren is doing poorly, but i think it matters. and also hillary clinton had 20 plus years of back coverage. she bore the brunt of what happened with her husband. she came out of that more unpopular than the men who actually have the affair and lied to everyone on national television. i think that is certainly a factor appeared to i don't want

to go down the road of what happened in the '80s, but it was some of her own decisions that led to that. do women like her? and then not even being able to speak to that when she was running. dagen. it >> dagen: stand by your man. i think a lot of people held out against hillary clinton for years and years. to bring it back to joe biden, they want him for the nonpartisan -- they tweeted last night that the states where he could be poised to replicate tonight success is long. florida, georgia, maryland, mississippi, louisiana, new jersey, connecticut. in short, he is currently on track for the nomination. and it is a vote against socialism. older folks about, and younger socialist millennials are busy taking sylvia's and their various. they did not show up in north carolina, tennessee,

virginia. >> harris: they never did. >> dagen: bernie couldn't deliver on greater turnouts. >> jessica: which was his great promise. he said i will deliver this. it >> ari: that turn out sorry democrats was very mixed, actually. virginia was a huge boom. in six of the nine states that voted for which there was polling data, 679 of them declined and turn up from 2008. so it was not a good night for turnout with the exception of massachusetts, vermont, and virginia. >> jessica: i think it will go down as historic levels. no one is arguing -- go >> ari: you to have 2008 turnout levels, not 2016 turnout levels. you got 2016 turnout levels. >> harris: all right, after failing to win a single state again and being rejected by the voters i know her best, what is next for elizabeth warren?

>> i think where these people are flying, it's safe to fly. large portions of the world, it is safe to fly. and we have closed on certain sections of the world, frankly. they will understand that. and they will understand it perhaps it's better anybody. >> melissa: that president trump reassuring americans it is safe to fly as the coronavirus continues to spread. this is the president is reportedly looking at ways to keep the economy on track ahead

of the 2020 election. this just happened. that they have struck a deal on a $7.7 billion emergency funding package for the coronavirus. they expect to vote on that later today. politico reporting that white house aides are pushing the president to consider a stimulus package in order to bolster the economy. steve mnuchin also said his agency would talk to independent banks about easing regulations for lenders. all of this after the federal reserve had a key interest rate by 50 basis points. the move apparently spooking wall street as the dow closed down nearly 800-point oh, largely rebounding today. meanwhile, u.s. health officials are working to contain the coronavirus with more than 100 cases in 12 states and nine deaths. seven from a long-term care near seattle. estimating that the mortality rate is now 3.4%.

outpacing the flu, which has a mortality rate of less than 1%. health and human services secretary giving an update on the coronavirus update earlier. listen. >> we keep learning about the fatality rate. one thing that we are learning here in the united states is just how many people might get mild to moderate symptoms. they basically think they have got the cold or call it the flu, but don't actually get diagnosed. now we are going to get more diagnoses, and we will see what the prevalence rate is out there. that impacts the denominator on the fatality rate. >> melissa: right. because they are so many out there that are not diagnosed. harris, i heard earlier on the show before us, different interview where the expert was saying that he believes he will get the coronavirus, and everyone will get it eventually. and that you may not even notice it because it is not going to have dramatic effects. that was the point at which our

banker stopped him in his tracks and said wait a second, say that again. he said yes, i believe i will get it. i believe almost everyone will get it, and it will be very mild by then. you won't even feel it. that was his point on the level of concern. i was very shocking. >> harris: that is shocking. it is not consistent, at least you with what we are seeing from the federal level. around the world. that 70% were get at. >> melissa: that's a big number. >> harris: it is a big number, but it's not 100%. i just want to take a look at what is coming out of this statement, talking specifically about what this will do. aggressive resources. the package will have 7.767 billion to fight coronavirus specifically at the local and state level. 85% of the total funding will be spent domestically. and they hope to move it quickly. talking about how they will move this from the house to the senate. they hope to get that into the

bloodstream quickly. the testing is what is really going to sell us the story, right? >> melissa: yes, and the other factor that we were just talking about in the interim, dagen, as big deal, that's all on the economy, and what does it mean if people are not out there doing things? they are canceling flights because they don't feel like people are going to go places. if you stay home and you don't travel and you don't spend the money, that's all the economy. when they talk about this look kind of stimulus could washington provide be on the necessary health care, what about a payroll tax cut? a lot of people have floated that. you get that out there. but democrats could take credit for it. why don't they give us a payroll tax cut? that would money and people's pockets immediately. >> dagen: when president obama did it come i didn't change anything. there was a temporary payroll tax cut right after the financial crisis. enough stimulus. half of 1% cut from the

federal reserve. they were playing catch it because it's the treasure market already driven longer-term interest rates even below 1%. that will help you as consumers. three pillars, a trinity, to this economy, going into this virus outbreak. it is low interest rate, low energy prices. and it is full employment. and right now, you have like mortgage refinancing. you want to talk about putting more cash into people's pockets, refinancing is at a seven year high. this is before the recent decline in interest rates. the best thing you can do for stimulus is focus on the health care, on getting the virus under control. and that will ultimately free of the demand side of the economy, as you were talking about. because this is a supply shop, like we haven't seen since the oil embargo in the early '70s. fiscal stimulus can't fix it.

>> melissa: i mean, china is back up and running. >> harris: what i want to say about this time yesterday, hearing from the trump administration, that in fact, they were looking at health care costs and how they could use some supplemental spending. we don't talk about this. it is pretty expensive. you know, not everybody has health care or health care that will cover it. so that is something that the administration is taking a long, hard look at. you may see a ripple effect. it is not whether or not you put money in people's pockets. it is can you get them to go outside their homes and spend it? can you get them back on a pla plane? and if you can give them confidence or solace in knowing that you can go to the hospital. don't be shy about doing that because you think that you can't afford to treat your symptoms or whatever. if the government is taking a look at that as an emergency, you know, repair, if you will, that is what will cause people to say okay, if i can deal with

my own situation -- >> melissa: or how long do you go before you left on your guard and your leg -- i don't know. this is what they hear people saying, ari. they are scared, they're scared, they're scared, and then they are like now i've been worrying about this for a couple of weeks, and i don't know anybody who this has happened to you. >> ari: that underscores why we need small monetary devices that we can give, it is meaningless when people are scared because it is a psychological and emotional issue. this market and economy has overreacted now, and as soon as they realize it's not as bad as people think, if it does become like the case, the markets will correct answers again. >> jessica: i just want to add to here's this point that the testing -- we had a doctor on who said that they had performed 32 tests at that point. he is an e.r. doctor himself who said that he believes he will get it. the testing is under control.

it was a republican congressman who said you may want to call it socialism, but people should not have to pay for this, and we need to make sure that they get this. >> harris: public safety. definitely. we know that they were on the front line because they were the first to die in china. remember? >> jessica: the whistle-blower on this was a doctor. >> harris: what they had with protective gear, we can't judge. we don't know what they were exactly wearing. but we know how vulnerable they are. >> melissa: before we scoot, i would bet with fda officials, they had said that by the end of the week, they have the capacity for 1 million tests. the private contractor is shipping over 1 million tasks to hospitals, labs, and others who wanted. the private sector is working on it. >> dagen: that death rate that you were talking about, a doctor earlier on the fox business network said 3.4% is wrong. once you start testing people, they will be below 1%. it may not be the regular flu

death rate, but it will be very, very low. >> melissa: and this will of course be a topic of conversation tomorrow when president trump appears right here on fox news and that the democracy 2020 town hall. bradberry and martha maccallum will host the event in scranton, pennsylvania, at 6:30 p.m. eastern right here on fox news. don't miss it. to say she had a bad night would be kind of an understatement. what is next for elizabeth warren after feeling yet again? only the third race in her home state, the people who know her best. the loudest voices on the left saying she needs to step aside for bernie. ♪ 000 a year, every year. activate your va refi benefit now and start saving. ]2fpp7 '1 >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin,

>> dagen: what's next with elizabeth warren? with mike bloomberg throwing in the towel, she is talking to her team about her next apps. after failing to win a single state and suffering the indignity from being rejected by the voters that know her best from both her home state of massachusetts and her native state of oklahoma. calls on the left for warren to make room for bernie sanders. one of his top surrogates, ilhan omar tweeting this. "imagine if the progressives consolidated last night like a moderate consolidated. who would have one not? that's what we should be analyzing. i feel confident that united progressive movement would have allowed for us to build together and win minnesota and other states we narrowly lost." in the meantime, president trump said elizabeth warren played spoiler to bernie sanders last night. >> but if you would have liked,

if elizabeth warren had done what she probably would have done from their point of view, you would have won, right? he would have won a lot of states, including massachusetts, probably texas. definitely minnesota. >> the assumption that her voters, women, hillary clinton voters would go for bernie sanders. what say you? >> jessica: is one of those voters with myself, i can tell you that is definitely not the case. elizabeth warren has a split base between progressives who do like bernie and might have done for him in 2016, but then also white college-educated women who would like to see the first female president. we love that she has a lot of plans and that she's a she's a fighter," camp. talk about winning minnesota, have you met amy klobuchar? who did the best vp audition there could have possibly been. monday night, throwing her support behind joe biden. she was poised to win that state. if you look at the numbers and

add up the people who are conservative and moderate on the democratic side versus liberal and very liberal, they're more of us than there are of them. it's a total false choice, and the brainy people who came after warren, calling her a liar, snake emojis, remember when she talked about our bernie said a woman can't win this? don't treat people like dirt and then ask them to do things for you. it's really unbelievable. >> dagen: why is she still in it? speak about the great question. i can't think of anybody who has done more to hurt bernie sanders than bernie's ideological soulmate, elizabeth warren. he would have won massachusetts, he would have won maine, minnesota. he would not have won texas. those would have been significant pickups for bernie and take away from biden. this was inadvertent, and genuine. she took down bloomberg better than anybody else. when she took bloomberg down on the debate stage, that made a potential bloomberg voter go back to biden. so she's got no future, no path to win anything. all she's going to do is hurt bernie if she stays in.

>> dagen: why is she still in it? >> melissa: just your stubbornness, i get done might guess. we've all interviewed people like that, you seen politicians like that. somebody may like them from afar, but the people who know them best whispered to you, "this is really horrible person." i'm not saying that with the whisper, that's what massachusetts is whispering. and that's what oklahoma is whispering. they are saying, "you know what? she is our senator and we would want anyone but her." oof, that's bad. >> harris: the one thing i would say about bernie sanders and president trump, where they are kind of equal, they have more than just supporters. they have loyal followers. people who believe in the dream. whatever that dream is, from each of those candidates, they are in it. joe biden was hoping to light that fire, and he may have done something for emotion coming out of south carolina. we found a different type of speaker, we as a wider public, in joe biden.

keep that fire lit, we will have to see, right? but with elizabeth warren, did we ever really see her do that? did we see or galvanize? did we see her starting movement? did we see people struggle to get first in line? did we see true loyal followers of elizabeth warren? >> i don't think people took dominic thought she was authentic. that she was conniving, she will say what she needs to say. "get me a beer." everybody knew she didn't talk like that in our announcement video. and she had to figure out a way that nobody would pay for medicare, billionaires. it's not realistic, people don't think it's real. bernie said middle-class taxes would go up. say what you will, it's authentic, he said the boston marathon bomber should vote. that's authentic, it's real. it's stupid, but it's authentic. [laughter] there's a personal admirable quality when people let it rip like that. trump has got it, bernie has got it. bernie doesn't have enough of it. >> harris: jessica, the american people are kind of used to it now, right?

they know that he is going to rip , as you say. and they assume bernie sanders will, because he does. i wonder if it's baked into an excitation now. >> jessica: i think expectations have shifted and there is a divide on the democratic side if we want to go michelle obama, "when w they go low, we go i pay close core to get into the mud. as james carville said, "i want power." when you want power, you get seats. he will do whatever he can to keep his majority and protect the majority. did warren arrive that moment? we sat here over the summer when she was surging, she was ahead in iowa. remember that little dance she did at her new hampshire rally? >> harris: she couldn't tell us what her health care plan would cost. then she started to come down after she put those numbers -- >> jessica: should have never said that we would lose private insurance. but i'm saying she had a real

moment on the democratic side were people thought this could be the consensus candidate. >> harris: we saw love, and then "we don't even like you," from her constituents. >> dagen: i can tell you what hurt, the poll showed her doing worse than trump and biden and sanderson critical states, and that's when she fell off a cliff. then she got desperate and started using her gender as both a crutch and a weapon. it didn't sell. one of the most popular female democrats in the country, michelle obama, selling out arenas and with the best-selling memoir of all time, that's a tall order. u.s. lodging, meantime, an air strike against the taliban just days after signing a peace deal. with this now means for america america's longest war. ♪ as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> harris: fox news alert now come on afghanistan. the united states has launched a defensive air strike against the taliban, just a week after signaling a peace deal and signing one. the strike took place in one of afghanistan's most volatile regions after allied afghan forces came under attack. all of this, just one day after president trump told reporters he had "a good conversation" with the leader of the taliban. watch. >> we had a good conversation. we have agreed there is no

violence. we don't want violence. we will see what happens. they are dealing with afghanistan, but we will see what happens. >> harris: meanwhile, top military brass and afghanistan are now calling the situation with the taliban "fragile." you hoped so much for the best. hope is not a strategy. and we signed this peace deal. did we maybe anticipate that there would be a little time before things would stick? what you think the expectations are? >> ari: certainly anticipated that. i don't think we anticipated this much violence medially. we thought it would be always baked into the afghan cake, violence. it's, in a sense, always been a mess. but the problem is, never in history has a cease-fire ever been entered into between two sides that get along. cease-fires by definition come between hostile parties that right up until that moment were trying to kill each other. the expectation that because someone, somewhere signed a piece of paper that it'll turn things around overnight, is always overblown. the question is, over time, over

a week, over a month, doesn't settle or stay at this level? if it stays at this level, we are stuck there. >> harris: you've been inside the white house. you know at those moments when things don't quite go the way you would want them to immediately. things take time. how much time, do you think, policy wise, with this particular president and what we know what his goals are -- >> ari: america is always at a disadvantage for that very question. we don't have time. we are impatient and we have a free press and free people who demand action. the hostile force we are up against in this case, they could care less. they will wait us out. >> harris: wow. jessica? >> jessica: i don't know if anyone on the couch felt this way, but i was shocked when this turned up in the news cycle. we had really been talking abou. it was one of those ones where i was like, "oh, this is

happening," and we had just gone down a road with north korea, for instance. what's gone on with the middle east, with turkey and syria, trying to negotiate with people who have opposing interests to us. so i wasn't complete shocked that it only took 24 hours for the taliban to violate this deal. i would love to be hearing more. i understand have corona going on and a big election from people in positions of power about what the strategy is here. because we all want everyone to come home and live in a more peaceful world, but the taliban are not people that we can play nice with, it seems like. >> harris: i wonder, too. i look back at the iran deal. you and i have had many conversations here on the couch about what we did and did not know. how some parts of it also were not sticking. what about making deals with your enemies, as ari is putting it, dagen? you've got to at least try to find peace. do you think the president gets credit for doing that? >> dagen: if it lasts.

i will point out that on march 10th, there are additional peace negotiations scheduled between the warring factions within afghanistan. they later said they are not releasing 5,000 taliban prisoners ahead of launching these talks. the taliban is saying, the militants are saying, that's part of the agreement with the united states. s >> melissa: marco rubio said this morning it'll be really bumpy. a lot of starts and stops, don't expect it to go smoothly right away. this stumbled may not be the end. >> harris: there you go. all right, we will cover it as it happens. the democratic generation, the split between supporters of joe biden and bernie sanders, and the effect it is already having the day after. ♪ you too, have a great day. bye,bye. five years ago... ...i had psoriasis everywhere... ...head to toe. people were afraid i was contagious. alright, i'll be back in one hour. my skin hurt...

...i felt gross. what's up jay? how's everything? what's up man? hope you've been practicing? but then i started cosentyx... ...and i haven't really had to think about it. see me. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis... ...look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked... ...for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections... ...and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection... ...or symptoms... ...if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop... ...or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine... ...or plan to. serious allergic reactions... ...may occur. i just look and feel better. see me. ask your dermatologist if cosentyx could help you move past the pain of psoriasis.

we are t-mobile the first to go unlimited. first with no annual service contracts. first with taxes and fees included. now t-mobile has the first and only nationwide 5g network. reaching over 5,000 cities and towns and over 200 million americans. and t-mobile is not charging extra for 5g access. because this isn't our network... it's yours.

>> people are talking about a revolution. we started a movement, we've increased turnout!

[cheers and applause] turnout turned out for us! [cheers and applause] that can deliver us to a moment where we can do extraordinary, extraordinary things. >> jessica: joe biden mocked bernie sanders' "revolution" last night while taking a victory lap in los angeles. this, as fox news analysis shows biden has significant support among older voters, and those older voters vote in large numbers. meanwhile, just a short time ago, president trump speaking on joe biden super tuesday performance. >> they don't like joe, eithe p. if you look at those people, they are worse than bernie in terms of being radical left. some of joe's handlers are further left than bernie. that's pretty scary. >> jessica: sorry, i would love to meet the joe biden "handlers."

[laughter] it certainly not sanders that took out that protester. when she tweeted, i broke a nail. i think this is going to be the new battleground. this isn't a revolution argument, which is the argument hillary has been making. what do you think bernie does now that he has kind of been boxed in a corner with this? >> ari: he's got to take it directly to joe biden. his biggest moment will be the upcoming debate, which is unfortunately only five days after the many super tuesday. bernie has got to make joe biden the face of corporatism, establishment democrats who lead people out. but he especially needs to increase his numbers with seniors. joe biden is cleaning bernie sanders' clock with seniors. he got 6-7% of the senior vote. he can't win back with that kind of low percentage. bernie has got to make the case that biden does not represent the democratic party, that bernie does. take it directly to him. >> jessica: bernie released a new ad this morning. first time but he had with him

and president obama, i think that's a start of taking it to bertie. don't you think, melissa? to biden, sorry. >> melissa: yes, taking it to biden. i don't think that will work so much. the way things are done doesn't work. that is a message that resonated with bernie's people and resonated with trump's people. and really sticks on the establishment. if bernie switches back to that message, he has a chance. >> dagen: it's hard to get older voters out and voting for you if you are bernie sanders and essentially running on taking away their medicare as they know it. medicare for all takes medicare and folds it into one big pot. you alienate the unions and the old folks. i just like the fact that it is statler and waldorf fighting for the nomination. two old grumps. [laughter] >> melissa: they are all the

same age, mike bloomberg i'm also super that's amazing. >> jessica: trump is the spring chicken and all of this. [laughter] >> melissa: that does it for us. thank you, ari. back on the couch tomorrow. here's harris. >> harris: we come in with this fox news alert, super tuesday made for a super shake-up. the democratic primary now a different ball game. "outnumbered overtime," i'm harris faulkner. democrat mike bloomberg today dropped out of the race after his dismal showing last night, and is now endorsing joe biden, saying he has the best chance to defeat president trump. the president weighed in a short time ago from the white house. watch this. >> he is a very spiteful guy, he's very upset. he made a fool out of himself, to be honest with you. he's not too happy about that. i think the first thing he should do is fire his political consultants. >> harris: bloomberg's endorsement comes after biden's surge. the former vp won at
