effectively what it does to the democratic party. makes then unelectable. >> dana: miranda and robby, thanks for rounding out the show with me. i'm dana perino. bill hemmer, how are you? >> bill: thanks so much. doing great. here we go. i'm bill hemmer. it's 3:00. concern is growing coast-to-coast as new coronavirus cases turn up from california to here in new york. at the moments, mike pence on his way to the state of washington where the virus has killed ten people there. another death in california. now at least 149 cases across the country. markets are rattled again. the dow was down about 1,000 points. congress passing $8.3 billion spending bill. i'm going to start with maria bartiromo from the fox business network. how are you? >> i'm fine. thank you.

>> bill: how do we look at this? the up and down and -- >> we have to expect constant volatility. up 1,000, down 1,000. a lot of back and forth. why? there's so much nervousness on wall street and throughout the country. we don't know enough. we have not gotten enough administration. the administration tried to get ahead of that. they said we will see more cases. my sources are telling me and i don't want to panic me, we're going to see tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of cases in the united states. this is going to happen. that's why the administration is trying to get ahead of it. >> bill: over which period of time -- >> the next six months to a year. we'll see hundreds of thousands of cases. >> bill: are you going to see the market go up and down? >> we'll see that kinds of volatility until we understand what it means. one thing to add with that hundreds of thousands of cases, not everybody will get deathly sick. there's therapeutics, there's therapies that will treat this.

a vaccine is a year away. we're not going to see a year. so a federal reserve rate cut, money from the fed, stimulus, that doesn't cure coronavirus. so you much a much more optimistic feature from the pharmaceutical companies. you need clarity from the pharmaceutical companies about this and we don't have it. when you don't have information, you sell and think later. >> bill: and we need time to figure it out and to develop what is necessary. >> the markets are reacting to the economic impact. let's put the sicknesses and the deaths aside. you're talking about zero growth. we're not going to see much growth. take china outs. china won't see any economic activity. no flights going in and out. companies unable to sell anything. you have the parts and the shortages that we're doing to see, components. a friend of mine had a car that they're waiting on. the car was in the shop.

they can't get their car because guess what? the parts come from china. that will be an increasing theme. when a company can't get parts to put in components, can't sell the products. >> bill: you were here two weeks ago and said the giant ocean liners were turning around. >> that's right. >> bill: something i had not hurt. >> that's right. >> bill: i'm hearing international travelers in beijing have been cut from 15,000 a day to 1,000 a day. >> one of the issues is chinese companies have contracts with american companies that they're supposed to sell things like plastic gloves, medical equipment. all of these things are needed. american companies are waiting. they said guess what? turn the ships around. we need that here now. so china won't allow the expo s exports -- it's six or eight countries have stopped exporting anything that they can use around coronavirus to america. >> bill: what do you think about the concerts that have been cancelled, the conventions that

have been scratched? the airline industries said they could lose more than $100 billion? >> that's true. people are not flying. it's spot on. business conferences being closed and cancelled left and right. i was supposed to go to a dinner last night and something in washington next week. cancelled. people are afraid to go anywhere. they don't want to be in close contact with other people because of the risk of coronavirus. this has not just a health impact, a serious economic impact and will cut into growth. once the market understands that and gets clarity, the volatility will stop. >> bill: let me cut to what we said yesterday. we were up a lot. now back down again. yesterday it was said the victory for joe biden was that. is that true? >> i don't think anybody on wall street wants to see the current policies in place change. joe biden is seen as moderate as it gets in the -- based on the field right now. so the markets will react to,

you know, joe biden perhaps, if that's the second alternative to trump policies, it's not a disaster like a bernie sanders would be. having said that, if we see any expectation that donald trump loses in november, that his policies are actually going to be reversed, that means deregulation, un-donn. tax cuts undone. this market plummets even more. >> bill: we wouldn't know that until the fall clearly. >> yes. >> bill: you agree on that? >> going into the conventions, you'll bet a better time. >> bill: between bernie sanders and joe biden, they're about to have an idealogical verbal war. who wins that? >> i think joe biden wins that. much of the country will not get behind socialism. you know, bernie sanders' plans are outsized. you're talking about trillions on medicare for all, open borders. all of these things that will be gigantic government programs that cost up to $80 trillion. the numbers are mind boggling.

so joe biden wins that argument. but you know, people didn't think donald trump could win. so you can't underestimate the power of bernie sanders. >> bill: there's twists around turnses in 2008 with clinton and obama. twists with hillary clinton along that trail. >> yeah. it's not over until it's over. >> bill: thanks, maria. see which way we finish up in 55 minutes. thanks. >> thank you. >> bill: meantime, looking back on super tuesday and everything that happened the past several days. want to go to the news out of elizabeth warren's camp. she's ending her bid but not endorsing yet. the question is where do her supporters go. now the race is between a progressive populist and a establishment, candidates between joe biden and bernie sanders, what comes of that? i'm going to take you live to austin, texas and check in with karl rove. in new york, let's show you what is happening here over on the

board. bernie sanders, some are starting to shape up next week as a must-win contest. this is michigan. in 2016, bernie sanders was a winner there. 1 1/2 points. still a winner in michigan. now a question whether or not he can win there based on the performance of tuesday night. here's the example they're using. the state of maine, bernie sanders won easily four years ago. this year, bernie sanders lost to joe biden. not by a lot. a lot of drag from warren. he lost the state of maine. come out here to the state of minnesota. bernie sanders lost this year. four years ago, bernie sanders was an easy winner across the entire state. almost 2-1. show you one more example down here, too. oklahoma. four years ago, he was running so well. okay? he won by about a point. 10 points, 10.5. this year in 2020, joe biden sneaks in there and takes the state by almost 13 points. so again, up here in michigan, upper midwest, we'll see what

happens tuesday. want to bring in karl rove, former deputy chief of staff for george w. bush. welcome. >> thank you, sir. >> bill: what about the idealogical battle between joe biden and bernie sanders? sanders will say you voted against healthcare, medicare and medicare in washington. you voted for the iraq war. what is joe biden going to say to bernie sanders on that? >> first of all, bernie better have a better argument than that. all of the things he's been saying in the ads attacking biden for votes in the past are true. my sense is that is retrospective. it's looking back. i'm not certain how credible those are outside of the people that are already committed to bernie. he's going to need to find other arguments in my mind that are forward looking saying i'm going to stick with bernie or as opposed to biden. >> bill: next tuesday in michigan, upper midwest.

we'll get a sense where they are. you saw the examples i just laid out. many expected bernie sanders to win maine and minnesota and oklahoma and he lost them. you can make the argument about warren being a drag on that. is tuesday a make or break moment in that primary? >> every week matters. i don't think that next week is going to cause bernie to get out of the race. michigan will be critical for him. he did win it last time around. albeit narrowly. so this is going to be a delicate race. next week will be more delegates for biden than bernie as tuesday night was. the question is how many more is it going to be. when he gets to territory, mississippi will be great for biden, so is missouri. both will have significant amount of african american democrats voting in them, particularly mississippi. the same in michigan as well. the question is, is where does he get back up on his feet.

they say michigan. if they do win michigan, if they win it with a better percentage than four years ago, this will be an even longer race than we might anticipate. >> bill: saw your piece in the "wall street journal." the race is far from over. fold that into elizabeth warren's big announcement this afternoon. how do you see that? >> first of all, thanks for reading those words. the only words in the article i didn't write. that was the headline which an editor wrote. i'll pass on your compliment. >> bill: good editor. >> damn good editor. thank god. elizabeth warren's -- first of all, she had no other alternative. if she stayed in longer, it would be pure stubbornness. when she ran third in massachusetts, she now in her second term as a u.s. senator. the woman gets a distance third. where she was born, oklahoma, a more distant third. she was done. better to get out now with

dignity. what will be interesting to watch is what does she do? does she endorse biden or sanders or do nothing? what is interesting she probably advantages herself if she endorses bernie and says positive things about him because if biden is the nominee, then he's got a potential junety candidate there that supported bernie that he could live with as a vice president and she's a woman. she would love it if there's a woman that is a woman of color that he could get. but you know, she then becomes a vice presidential nominee. she's ambitious. >> bill: thanks, karl. damn good analyst. can we say that? it's cable. >> there we go. >> bill: back on the board one more time, this is your delegate map here. here's the number that karl was referring to. can one get there today? biden is 603 and bernie sanders at 538. now, health workers in

california trying to stop the spread of this virus. a cruise ship off the coast of potentially six passengers on board. so what is next for those on board that ship? later, we'll go live to the battleground state of pennsylvania where tonight fox news channel holds president trump's first town hall of 2020. bret is a moderator and will join me live today. the push to save a death row inmate to die in hours. supporters say he's innocent. martin luther king iii will join us to make the case for that man.

day in washington state now that the university of washington has gotten involved. in an effort to slow the spread of the virus, many companies are telling employees to work from their home through the month of march. among them, amazon and microsoft, which between them have over 100,000 workers in the state. state and local leaders are considering how far they should go to cancelling events and large gatherings. >> all nonessential group meetings will be cancelled for the next three weeks or through the end of march. >> yet a large gathering is considering anything with ten people or more. bill? >> bill: oh, my. ten people. what about the schools? some are closing or is closed. >> some are. but usually it's when a case pops up there. we're seeing individual schools closed for a day or two for cleaning. one district closed all schools and will begin teaching remotely monday. that will be through two weeks.

they're calling it a transition from the classroom to you the cloud. there's questions about how much learning will happen across all demographics. king county bought a motel to be used for a quarantine site. leaders of the city are not happy about it. they worry about people in isolation coming and going and spreading the virus. modular homes will be used to quarantine people. we're starting to see more aggressive measures to slow the spread. they're controversial. leaders are erring on the side of caution. >> bill: thanks, dan. our coverage continues now. claudia cowan live with more on the grand princess cruise ship. what do we have on that? >> hi, bill. health officials investigate a cluster of cases linked to a previous cruise and make sure nobody on board now has contracted the coronavirus. right now the cruise ship is

anchored off the coast of central california and that is where hundreds of test kits have been airlifted by coast guard helicopter. samples will be tested at a bay area lab with resulted expected tomorrow. 35 people with flu-like symptoms are being tested first. the ship returned february 21 and then set sail for hawaii with 300 passenger and crew. 62 people took the cruises back-to-back. they may have been exposed and have been told to stay in their cabin until they're tested and cleared by medical staff on board. for now, bill, no word on when the ship will be allowed to return or dock. it was supposed to return to pier 27 saturday. that is probably now optimistic. much will depend on the test results. >> so the former mayor of the city of san francisco, now the governor, making it clear nobody is getting off of it without

getting screened. how will they do that? >> that's right. the governor calling this a dynamic situation and making the point about assessment very clear. listen. >> bill: the ship will not come on tour until we appropriately assess the passengers and appropriately assess the protocols and procedures once people make it back on state land, state property. >> there's 55 confirmed co bid 19 cases here in california. as we mentioned, we had the one fatality and more than 9,000 people are being monitored, bill, including hundreds of healthcare workers that came into contact with infected people. >> bill: we'll follow it. thanks, claudia. it's a long road ahead in tennessee. officials say one of those deadly tornadoes was the strongest in more than a decade. we're on the ground in putnam county where many say they were not sure they would live to see the next sunrise.

just a moment here. house and senate get together. $8 billion to fight this. what did you learn being with the vice president this week? >> you know, look, the president and the vice president are all hands on deck. they have a good team of professionals that are leading this effort. dr. fauci, secretary azar, the vice president, the fda commissioner. these are trained professionals that have dealt with epidemics before, dealt with diseases before. they're talking 8 the right public health procedures going forward. we have to do our part as citizens. we need to be smart about this and understand and not panic. there's a lot that we need to learn about this virus. >> bill: a lot of fear and questions. >> sure. there is. >> bill: bring us a sense of rationale. the state of oregon is getting 500,000 i believe from this, right? >> yes, initially. >> bill: so the question is population is four million in oregon. population in california is what 40 million? >> yeah. >> bill: how do we rationalize

what is happening out there? >> i'll take you a step back, bill. every year that congress appropriates money to the states, my own state got several million dollars, to be ready for any kind of outbreak like this. there's already a network in place. this enhances that. we have three cases in the area. but our local public healthcare offices and professionals are the ones that are up front, they're dealing with this. as they need more resources, we're committed to get them to them. the states will get what they need. >> bill: so how do we manage the fear? how do we manage the unknown? >> listen to those that lived in this environment a long time. the trained professionals that say look, this is serious, yes. put it in perspective. you have a very low risk of

contracting the coronavirus. we've had hundreds of thousands of cases of the flu. it too is a virus that circulates. let's put it in perspective. if you're under the age of 50, you'll probably get through this fine. 80% of those that get the coronavirus get through it okay. there's 20% though that you have to pay close attention to, usually the elderly population and those with other issues, lung disease, heart disease. they're fragile to begin with this. this disease hits them hard. >> bill: i imagine you learned a lot and will take that home with you on that. >> indeed, tomorrow. >> bill: what do you tell them now that congress -- the feds cut half a point. off schedule. first time that that has happened in 12 years. congress is bucking up $8 billion. what do you say to people? >> the first thing i say, use common sense. we all can help if you use hand

sanitizer and use it and wash your hands and do all the things the medical professionals say. start there. second, make sure you got the flu shot for this year. it will still be effective in 40, 45% of people. that will help reduce the number of people that are sick and going into our hospitals and in to see doctors. third, if you are sick, stay home. help not spread not only other diseases but perhaps if you have the coronavirus. third we need more tests out there so we can determine who has it and who doesn't. the administration, the private sector all surging now. you know, you'll have the ability to test 75% americans by the end of the week. over a million tests available by the end of next week. they're getting the tests out there. >> bill: meantime, the markets are selling off. huge concerts that have been

cancelled. big businesses are shutting their doors as well. is this what we need to do? we just had a reporter in seattle washington tell us that large groups are being discouraged to get together. by a large group, they mean ten people. >> yeah, personally that's a bit much. i'm not going to prejudge. i'm not a doctor or held care expert. that may be a bit of an overreaction quite frankly. so i would hope we can get some calm, the more understanding we get about this, the more we hear from the cdc and others. i hope it will get back to a better place. if there's an outbreak, let's be smart, shut down the schools, clean it out, kill the virus and get people back together. we have to be smart but not get over the top. >> bill: i hear that. thank you, sir.oregon. thank you. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: martin luther king jr. iii trying to keep a man convicted from death row.

>> bill: so a death row inmate in alabama now has hours to live. martin luther king jr. is calling on the governor in that state to stop his scheduled execution. back in 2005, a jury convicted nathaniel woods in the shooting deaths of three police officers. there's no evidence that he fired the weapon but prosecutors say he conspired with the gunman. alabama's ag called this an effort to save nathaniel woods from his just punishment. meanwhile, another man, the

confessed shooter that said he acted alone and that woods is 100% innocent. i want to bring in the judge on this in a moment. but first, martin luther king iii in atlanta. welcome. thank you. how did you get involved in this case? >> first of all, i had heard about it. i happened to be in alabama on sunday for the bloody sunday anniversary. >> bill: okay. that was just within the last week then. >> yes, a couple days ago. when i heard about the prospect and an innocent man would be executed, i became concerned. whenever there's any inkling of a chance that somebody may be innocent, all of the facts will be exhausted. >> bill: how do you know he's innocent? >> the person that pulled the trigger and confessed over and over again and he was the trigger man and nathaniel was

not involved, mr. woods, i just know of the background of the case. the second thing is there's a lot of testimony. unfortuna unfortunately, mr. woods had poor counsel. i don't think it's ever too late when someone may be innocent too review all of the information to make sure. >> bill: you said maybe. you've also said very likely innocent. you've also said appears to have be strongly mishandseled by the courts. there's a lot of ifs in there, martin. >> so your question is what? >> bill: what evidence do you have that he's innocents? >> the gentleman that said he did the calling and nathaniel was not involved. i'm not a lawyer. i can't debate you. all we can look at is the facts. if a person is innocent, they shouldn't be killed in this country.

people have been killed and hung for doing nothing. many this confession, if that is the prospect, at least go through the facts and the information and give the system an opportunity to work if it did not work. unfortunately, the system does not work for african americans and poor people over and over again. >> bill: here's what the attorney general said. he said nathaniel woods was found guilty by a jury of his peers. the only justice is that that was inflicted on the four policemen in that terrible day in 2004. to those families still living with this. >> there's no question that those men shouldn't have been killed. never should officers be killed doing their jobs. however, nor should an innocent person be killed. >> bill: i'm just asking what

evidence do you have that he's an innocent man? i know what your objective is. i respect that. for the sake of our viewers, we have to figure out what the facts are. >> bill: that's the problem. you can't go through the facts if the trial was bungled. you had an indigent defense counsel who had bungled information. i'm not trying to be a lawyer but it seems irresponsible and unconscionable to kill someone that could be innocent. >> bill: martin, thanks for your time. >> thank you. >> bill: i'm bringing in the judge to react what do you make of this? >> it's a troublesome case. i'll tell you why. he was convicted by a vote of 10-2. it was not a unanimous verdict. the supreme court is within weeks of invalidating nonm nonunanimono nonunanimous verdicts. no harm would be staying this until that supreme court verdict comes down. >> bill: the judge has jurisdiction on the verdict in

alabama. >> yes, so a judge can take a 10-2 recommendation for execution and lower it to life in prison. the question is not the 10-2 recommendation for execution. the question is the conviction valid because it was 10-2. how is that relevant? the supreme court just heard oral argument two months ago on whether or not nonunanimous verdicts are acceptable in state courts when execution is sort. justice brett kavanaugh sided with the four liberal members of the court that they're going to invalidate the nonunanimous verdict. that's what if governor ivey is watching this, she should stay the execution. if this guy is executed tonight and the supreme court rules that nonunanimous verdicts are unconstitutional, he will have been unlawfully executed.

>> bill: we got a statement from nathaniel woods satisfy. she says we wants justice for all. we want to make sure they're getting the right person. >> the other person that confessed to this is himself about to be executed. >> correct. >> that's where it stands. she has a split second decision to make. make the decision before 6:00 central time. >> bill: in alabama. >> she has the petition in front of her. >> bill: so you're making the case here, we tried to get out of martin, based on the evidence you would be okay with an extension. what would you prove in a matter of a couple weeks, judge? >> nothing. in the supreme court says that nonunanimous verdicts are acceptable, they'll go through with it. if the supreme court says they're not, he has to be retried. he doesn't walk free. he has to be retried and the state has to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt which is a unanimous verdict. >> bill: this case is getting a lot of attention. the supreme court is aware of that. who is bringing that case at the

>> bill: tonight the fox news channel host the president trump's first 2020 town hall. we will be live in the battleground state of pennsylvania. that bear is moderating along with martha maccallum and he joins us live from scranton p.a. which is the birthplace of joe biden. good afternoon to you, tell us what we should expect later tonight. >> great venue here in scranton, it's the cultural center and obviously an important state for that president. it is joe biden's boyhood home. we have some great questioners and a great crowd here and we will be able to obviously as we have another townhouse to follow up.

we will try to get him off some talking points as you've seen but the president otherwise is kind of free flowing. town hall starts at 6:30 tonig tonight. >> bill: no surprise he chose scranton, pennsylvania for this, right? he's pretty direct and in-your-face. >> bret: that was before all of joe biden's ascendancy as being the phoenix from the ashes in this race. he chose it obviously to make a statement but also because this area is really important to the reelection of donald trump. they look at pennsylvania is pretty rich for potential trump votes and anecdotal, you go around this town. >> bill: if there was headline earlier today, elizabeth warren is suspending her campaign. she held her fire as to who she would get behind, how are you taking that headline today so

far? >> bret: i don't think it's a great headline for joe biden. obviously it clears a little bit more of the field and it makes the debate stage tighter. and it is not an endorsement of joe biden and it's also not an endorsement of bernie sanders at least not yet. that would go to bernie sanders. this could be a long battle all the way to milwaukee. >> bill: just think about that. now you have a stage with two men on it, and he was rather poignant that joe biden voted for the iraq war. he alleged that joe biden voted to scale back medicare and medicaid in america and that's a direct charge against him in health care.

this has now gone back to an ideological battle within the democratic party that they very much saw play out in 2016, would you agree? >> bret: don't count him out. he is in the revolution to overturn things and do things differently. he's going to bring out a lot of attacks i'm sure i can still biden who he considers he considers establishment, and that's going to look a lot like the middle and end of the 2016 race between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. >> bill: so we will move from the moment today until next tuesday. next tuesday we got michigan. earlier in the hour we were talking to karl rove about the states that bernie sanders one in 2016 that he lost this year. a lot of us would argue that sanders looks good in places like minnesota and oklahoma and mena. get the drag of war brought him

down to second place in all the states where he competed very well in 2016. michigan is another one. if it doesn't, what does it mean next wednesday morning. the upper midwest, you need workers, blue-collar workers. what you're feeling? >> bret: expect bernie sanders to really campaign hardted the primary last time and expect him to really focus on michigan. there's a lot of potential union vote there. joe biden plays while they're, too. i think this is interesting. for all the president, criticism the president takes for stirring the pot in the democratic race, he is right when he said in the cabinet room that, i had elizabeth warren gotten out before super tuesday it would have been a different scenario for bernie sanders and some of the states that are very close and that that would have likely tipped sanders way.

>> bill: how does bernie sanders stack up in a state which is still considering the comments he made about the fidel castro and illiteracy in our country. that's one of the major changes in the race. one of the changes was mike bloomberg on the debate stage where he kind of realized that he will think the guy in the commercials. the other one was the 60 minutes comment about fidel castro and illiteracy in that effects florida. if you see the latest polls they are exponentially going up for joe biden. i think florida is a lost cause but we will see. ohio is much more in bernie sanders' wheelhouse. >> bill: nice to see you, we will see you tonight. we are here monday through friday every day at 3:00 eastern, set your dvr and never miss a report. and do not miss this, either.

the dow is up more than a thousand points. we have seen more some of the biggest losses pointwise over the past two weeks than we've ever seen for the dow. neil has it now, see you tomorrow. ♪ >> neil: elizabeth warren may be out of the race but she could still decide who wins the race. the thing is, today she did not, refusing to tip her hand whether bernie sanders or joe biden will get her support. but that did not stop either of these guys from making a bachelorette-like pitch for her affection. so far, no decision. welcome everybody, i'm neil cavuto and as of this how are we still do not know who will get the rows. we do know is elizabeth warren is very much playing hard to get and will make it easy. molly line in boston on the biz to win over liz. >> good afternoon neil.
