night for bernie sanders riding a wave of support to clench a projected top spot in nevada. what his victory means for the rest of the field as the other candidates turn their attention towards south carolina. >> president trump responding to russian interference by firing his intelligence director. what it means for national security? and a sharp uptick in coronavirus cases. what could be behind the sudden surge? good morning, it is sunday, february 23rd, the day after the nevada caucus. >> lindsey reiser is live in las vegas covering the caucuses. good morning. >> yeah, good morning. we're going to be talking about -- you know, this is the first time we're hearing from a diverse electorate. of course we already heard from voters in new hampshire and iowa predominantly white areas. now we're hearing from people, latino background, asian-american, african-american

as well. biden thought that was going to help him in nevada. it's been helping bernie sanders that represents a larger picture of the country than maybe those first contests that we saw. we heard from john alan that joe biden telling his supporters he's still alive in this case and alan saying it's probably not where you want to be when you're running for president, but we saw biden coming in in second place here in nevada. we're also watching other candidates and how they continue to move throughout the next contest. we're looking ahead to south carolina. these other candidates, many of them are well-funded enough through super tuesday. are we going to see similar results in south carolina and of course that large batch of states that we're going to see super tuesday just in a few days. and then another thing, the debate we're going to be watching on tuesday. we saw the candidates really coming at one another right out of the gate at the debate here in nevada. what are we going to see? we heard from john alan that he

thinks we're going to see much of the same, going on the offense, on the attack, to show voters that they're aggressive enough to take on somebody like president donald trump. >> thank you. 4:02 with las vegas. we have new numbers for you at 7:00 on the east coast. 50% of the results have been reported now and nbc is projecting bernie sanders will win the race. right now he has 47% of the vote. he's been awarded 13 of the delegates and that's out of 36 in nevada. >> here's where the other candidates stand right now. joe biden with 19%, pete buttigieg 15%, senator elizabeth warren has 10% of the vote and amy klobuchar has 5%. sanders and his wife spent the night celebrating with supporters in texas. >> he spoke to a big crowd. not only did they cheer when he was declared the winner. he pushed his campaign message. take a listen. >> brothers and sisters, if we

stand together, we will not only defeat trump, we will transform this country and create a government and an economy that works for all of us, not wealthy campaign contributors. thank you all very much. >> joe biden celebrating the results at a las vegas rally. he told supporters his campaign is going to take back the election. >> we're in a position now to move on in a way that we haven't been until this moment. i think we're going to go -- [ cheers and applause ] >> we're going to win! we're going to win in south carolina! [ cheers and applause ] >> and then super tuesday and we are on our way! [ cheers and applause ] >> senator elizabeth warren moving on to seattle. she congratulated bernie sanders and touted her campaign's energy and quickly set her sights on

michael bloomberg. >> we have a lot of states to go and right now i can feel the momentum. i want to talk specifically for just a minute at the top about a threat that is coming our way and it's a big threat. not a tall one, but a big one. michael bloomberg. >> pete buttigieg speaking to his supporters in denver, calling out all the people who said doubted his campaign could make it to this point. >> we had a fantastic finish in new hampshire and then they said, okay, iowa, new hampshire, sure. but are you going to have any significant support in the west? [ cheers and applause ] >> this feels pretty significant to me. [ cheers and applause ] >> how about tom steyer? he said although he didn't win in nevada, the primaries will

show he's the best person to take on president trump. >> i believe more strongly than ever in what we're fighting for, i really do. i can see why we're the answer to the democratic question of who can beat trump. [ cheers and applause ] >> tonight is the start. next saturday is the next step and then super tuesday is when we prove it. >> steyer with his family members. back in minnesota, senator amy klobuchar taking a moment to look back on her campaign and her supporters and thanking her supporters. >> a lot of people didn't even think that i would still be standing at this point. they didn't think i would make it through that speech in the snow. they didn't think i would make it to the debate floor. but time and time again because of all of you and because of the people around this country that want something different than the guy in the white house, we

have won. >> no big speech from tulsi gabbard, but the candidates are spread across eight states. less than a week to the south carolina primary. >> you're taking a look at this morning's papers. what stands out to you? >> well, bernie sanders dominating the headlines this morning, let's take a look at the local online versions here. we have the "las vegas review journal," the nevada appeal and the "the las vegas sun," we have bernie sanders the front-runner. the headlines are that bernie sanders is having a clear victory here in nevada. >> what's your main take away from covering the nevada caucuses. did anything surprise you? >> i think a lot of people were expecting chaos like what we saw

in iowa. right now one of the big things that's sticking out to me is the lack of chaos. we heard from our road warrior covering the biden campaign and biden himself expressed -- he didn't necessarily trust the process, was setting expectations low. we switched from a high-tech option in iowa, the app that ended up not working, to a low-tech election here, with a built-in calculator on ipads. those volunteers being trained in how to use them to combine the early caucus numbers with the in-person caucus numbers as well and writing that down on paper, calling the call center that they had staffed with 200 paid employees. maybe took a little bit longer which is why officials were setting expectations low in how early we could hear a front-runner. but the lack of chaos was one of my takeaways.

>> what was also -- just from watching all of the coverage right there, the significant moment of watching the returns come in for you? >> i would be interested to hear from you guys agree. but it feels like the narrative is changing. first it was, no, bernie can't be the nominee. he won't get enough support from the democratic party. now that we're seeing he's starting to take up this national lead, the narrative is changing and we're hearing that, no, bernie can ignite this base into votes. he's very well organized this time around. so you're starting to hear pundits talk a little bit about not whether he can. if he maintains this lead, but also can he build a coalition, can he unite. you mentioned early in the show that tweet from bernie sanders where he says i have news for the republican party, the

democratic party, you can't stop us. can he shift that tone and we heard a little bit of it last night where he was saying you heard bernie sanders is too radical. here's why i'm not. maybe trying to appeal to the more moderate voters as well. and i want to bring in the senior political correspondent for "the guardian." i want to hear what your main takeaways were? >> number one, it's obvious that bernie sanders is now the front-runner in the democratic primary. he's won multiple contests and shown a strength that his 2016 campaign just didn't have. beyond that, though, there does seem to be some staying power of vice president biden. he did better than i expected in the state although far, far short of where senator sanders went. and finally, amy klobuchar, you know, she says she overperformed

expectations, but these results are not ideal for a candidate at this point in the race. >> what did we learn from all of this? will this set bernie sanders up for a big enough delegate lead to stay ahead? >> there's still time and a lot of delegates to get, but there's a sense of momentum and the important thing about this primary, this year is that momentum is even more key than usual. democrats want to pick a winner. they want to pick someone they see as viable, that has this big wave of support behind them to go up against donald trump. and it seems right now that that's what bernie sanders is is in this primary. >> where do you think the rest of the candidates stand now that we're getting significant results out of nevada? do you think they have to change their strategy? >> pitches are probably going to be a little different going into south carolina because it is such a conservative state, because the black electorate is so key there. i don't think there's going to be a radical shift in tone.

already it's pretty aggressive between the candidates. i think we're in the next week or two, we're going to see a lot of discussions of topics that will appeal to black voters in south carolina. a lot that will appeal to the more moderate democratic base. these are not superliberal states ahead of us and that's what these candidates are going to focus on. >> i want to ask you, how much money is going to play into this, into these next few races for candidates who aren't performing as well? bloomberg has been blasting the air waves, wasn't on the ballot here in nevada. these big-money candidates, how is that going to play in as we enter south carolina on super tuesday? >> well, look, bloomberg has really eclipsed everyone in spending. the key to remember about money and campaigns is that campaigns don't end by anything other than money. if you run out of money, the campaign is over. and right now a lot of the

campaigns are depleted. we've seen low cash on hand numbers from senator warren, pete buttigieg, really a lot of the candidates who -- and klobuchar. and really a lot of the candidates who aren't self-funding billionaires. and that's going to determine how long they stay in the race. >> we know money is critical, but how critical is the debate. we've seen voters really rely heavily on how these candidates are performing to decide who they're going to vote for. >> that goes straight into viability. these debates are key for producing money falls from the candidates' bases. if they have good debates, a lot more donations will come in. if they have a poor debate, if former mayor bloomberg was accepting donations, i think he would see a lackluster result given the last debate's results for him. but these debates have remained key.

they've really decided a candidate's viability in this race. most of the candidates still in this race have been in multiple debates and are usually -- have been expected to stay in the debates. only one or two, representative tulsi gabbard has not been in the lion's share of debates and is struggling with no clear path ahead of her. >> thank you so much. a what's interesting, debates determining viability. elizabeth warren had a good night. i didn't help for her. she's not number one, number two here in nevada. it will be curious to see how tuesday night could impact come south carolina's primary. >> it did give her a little bit of life, though in fund-raising and she was able to raise some $14 million according to her campaign -- or $7 million, rather. >> and she definitely needed

that because she was considering taking out a loan to continue her campaign. >> it will get her at least to the next stop there, lindsey. >> and we're hearing she did take out a loan. she continues on and while the rest of the democratic candidates continue to zip around the country, president trump will be taking off in just a few hours heading for india, his first official visit as president. >> kelly o'donnell is on the ground in new delhi. good morning. >> good day from new delhi. this will be a short visit and will be about substantive issues, like the relationship between these two democracies, trade, energy and defense spending. but much of what we'll see over the next couple of days will be a celebration of the relationship between the u.s. and india and in particular, the friendship between these two

leaders who get along very well and for president trump that stands out because there are corners of the world where he has not been welcomed in such friendly ways. but here, india is preparing with all of the cultural drama and excitement of all of the kinds of things that they will be laying out the red carpet, if you will, for the president and first lady. part of what we will see is something they're calling namaste trump. they'll be appearing at a cricket stadium and it's expected to be a huge crowd, something we know president trump is often energized by and that will be part of the spectacle. and of course the president and first lady will make a trip to see the taj mahal. and so much of it will be about that relationship between the president and the prime minister at a time when the president is certainly looking to put some of the domestic troubles behind him and to have a moment on the world stage. and that's what's expected over

the next few days here in india. >> thank you, kelly. the coronavirus cases outside of china suddenly seeing a big uptick. why health officials thinks it's spreading so fast in other places of the world. rescued after more than a week. how a missing couple survived by days. we'll tell you what they did. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and take. it. on with rinvoq. rinvoq a once-daily pill can dramatically improve symptoms... rinvoq helps tame pain, stiffness, swelling. and for some... rinvoq can even significantly reduce ra fatigue. that's rinvoq relief. with ra, your overactive immune system attacks your joints.

welcome back to msnbc world headquarters in new york. but you're watching the view from philadelphia. i almost feel that's the shot from the comcast tower there. >> that's what it looks like. >> it's 28 degrees but it's going to warm up to 57 degrees. sun shining already. >> we want to get to some breaking news that we've been following. new concerns about the coronavirus after several countries have reported a surge in confirmed cases. many of these countries are without a direct link to china where the outbreak began.

>> iran, at least eight people have died. schools and public places are being closed today and south korea five people have died. the number of concerned cases has more than doubled over the weekend in that country. in italy the number of confirmed cases quadrupling. towns are on lockdown. >> there are over 76,000 confirmed cases worldwide and there have been more than 2,400 deaths. joining us now from london, matt bradley, with the latest. china, of course, the epicenter of this outbreak. are they responding at all to these growing concerns from other countries? >> yeah, we haven't heard much from china. they're very preoccupied with containing the massive outbreak within their borders. we have heard from global authorities. the world health organization, they're kind of taking the lead on this. they don't obviously have a role in implementing controls and trying to improve the situation.

they do monitor and offer advice. we heard from the head of the world health organization saying there's still a window of opportunity to contain that virus. that to me sounds like a mission, that window of opportunity is really fast closing and that the world organization's governments need to do more in order to contain this. china has been doing as much as they can, but really the news today as you mentioned is not about china. it's about this is moving out aboard and we're seeing independent nodes of epidemics throughout the world and that is what is really troubling to researchers. >> it really is troubling, especially for many folks who have no connection to china or any people traveling there including in iran. they have no direct links. how does that affect the fight to contain this virus right now? >> well, you know, the real issue here is that a lot of researchers are wondering how the virus was able to spread.

we have a lot of different phenomenon going on here. the superspreaders, people who spread the illness multiple times over, far more than the average number of people that are infected by an individual person who is infected with the novel coronavirus. the other thing is, this asymptomatic spread. we're starting to see people who don't have any symptoms, who might have tested negative for a virus in a test and scientists and epidemiologists are still able to find evidence that they actually spread the virus despite not having it to other people. that's a very dangerous development and it could be one of the reasons why we're seeing this spread beyond china into other countries in such a way that it had gone undetected. even though epidemiologists are making their best effort to track down people who had any contact with anyone who was infected, they're doing their best. but it doesn't always seem to be working. >> matt bradley joining us from

london, thank you. starting with another deadly accident in new orleans. a second person in four days has been killed by a float during mardi gras parades. he was crushed between two sections of the float. on wednesday, a 58-year-old woman died. they will no longer allow tandem floats for the rest of the season. authorities in hawaii arrested the mother of two missing children from idaho. they fear she might be part of a doomsday religious group. they're looking into the death of one of her previous husbands. here's blain alexander. >> standing in a hawaii courtroom, she did not bring investigators any closer to what they so desperately want to know. the whereabouts of her two children missing for nearly six months. now their mother is facing charges including felony child

desertion. soon after her children were last seen in september, she left idaho and came to this small hawaiian town where she married a man who is not wanted by police. she's being held here on $5 million bond. >> should you bail out, you are to surrender immediately upon bailing out any passport that you may have. >> court documents show she told investigators her son was in a friend's care, but that friend said she was told to lie. >> what kind of mother does that? the other word that's coming to my mind right now is monster. >> they are worried that she's part of a doomsday religious group. her husband has published several books on events leading up to the apocalypse. they're investigating the death

of the children and her former spouses and her brother. they're looking into this surveillance video obtained by dateline that shows two people moving large items in and out of her storage unit. she's due back in court next month for a hearing as her two children remain missing and police fear in grave danger. >> that was blain alexander reporting. also this -- ♪ >> indigenous groups and families held a memorial for the 25 people who died in the australian brush fires including three american firefighters. the australian prime minister honored those victims and those who died fighting. >> a season of air you couldn't breathe and orange skies that wouldn't rain. an unforgettable trauma absorbed into our very beings and

unrelenting grief for our land and our wildlife and our families. >> over 100 americans helped battle those flames. three were killed when their plane crashed on a water-bombing mission. it killed an estimated billion animals. in california, a couple in their 70s were found alive after they were lost in the woods for more than a week. volunteers found ian irwin and carol kiparsky in a ravine. they called for help, they heard them and they were able to save them. emergency crews airlifted the couple to the hospital. they went missing on valentine's day and they said they survived by drinking water from a puddle. >> whatever it takes. >> exactly. a little bit of good news. >> not exactly a romantic start to valentine's day. intelligence officials say russia's trying to get president trump re-elected. they're reportedly also trying

to help bernie sanders' presidential candidate. why would russia help both of those candidates and why is the president's rejecting the intel agencies once again. and lindsey live in las vegas. >> we're going to be talking about the entrance poll results and what issues are important to nevadans and that translate to other states. needles. essential for the sea urchin, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. serious, sometimes fatal infections,

cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. as have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. tell your doctor if you've been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. needles. fine for some. but for you, one pill a day may provide symptom relief. ask your doctor about xeljanz xr. an "unjection™". ♪ ♪ you work hard for your money. stretched days for it. ♪ ♪ juggled life for it. ♪ ♪ took charge for it. ♪ ♪ so care for it.

[ cheers and applause ] >> senator bernie sanders sounding victorious, declaring victory in the nevada caucuses.

msnbc projects he's the winner in a big way. results are still trickling in this morning. >> 50% in. as we wait, we go back out to lindsey reiser live in las vegas. what can you tell us on how voters decided on senator sanders? >> we're learning a lot more about nevada voters, what's important to them, what drove their decisions thanks to the entrance and exit polls. we want to show you an exit poll from democratic voters in nevada. they were 65% white, 18% hispanic and 11% black. black voters went overwhelming for joe biden but at least 27% for sanders the projected winner. exit polls shows sanders won more than half of hispanic voters and it's a major driver

of his success. >> he hired latinos, almost 30% of his staff in atlanta is latino which is representative of the community in the state. he has been buying ads in spanish, canvassing in spanish. it's not rocket science. we've been saying this to all the campaigns, he's investing in the communities and we have been taken for granted. >> reporter: and we saw bernie sanders was in el paso, texas, last night when he was declaring that victory. exit polls show 30% identified as very liberal, 35% as somewhat liberal, 34% as moderate or conservative and look at this, in entrance polls, a whopping 65% said they would rather vote for a nominee who can vote trump and most of that group, as you

can see here, went for bernie sanders. interesting to hear what exactly is driving voters here in nevada. i want to bring in a political correspondent with business insider. we just heard what is so important to nevada voters, who can be trump. many of them choosing sanders. what do you think it is about the sanders' campaign that spoke to them? >> i think what we're seeing more than anything in this race is that electability matters a lot more than ideology and sanders' strong finish in nevada, iowa and new hampshire, where he tied for first in iowa and swept the field in new hampshire, is showing voters that he is really the candidate who at this point seems the most electable compared to president trump. that's bad news for joe biden because the centerpiece of his entire campaign is far is he's the only democrat who can beat president trump and his weak finishes in both iowa and new hampshire and his inability to

win first place in nevada is really kind of throwing a wrench into that entire argument for him. at this point, the nomination, it's still early of course, but the nomination at this point is really bernie sanders' to lose. >> what do you think is factoring into biden? every time he's on stage, he says, i'm the one who can get it done, why do you think voters maybe aren't necessarily getting that message or siding with it? >> more than anything, what we're seeing is that it comes down to a candidate who is calling for big, structural change and especially a candidate who's running against not just republicans but also the democratic establishment. more than anything else, voters in the democratic primaries and in the caucuses have kind of swayed towards that argument because bernie sanders' entire campaign has been about appealing to working-class voters, unionized voters, appealing to minorities, women, and so his argument seems to be striking a chord with them more than candidates who have been

casting themselves as moderates who have been airing more with the establishment line. >> and talking about that big structural change, i want to bring in a graphic showing the entrance poll and no supporting medicare for all. we know that is of course is a huge issue finish bernie sanders and his supporters. are you surprised in how many voters right now are supporting medicare for all and really taking that message? >> it's not really surprising. i think more than anything since the 2016 election we have seen that voters are in support -- either on the republican or on the democratic side. they're in support of more -- more drastic policy changes and so it's not surprising to see so many of them supporting medicare for all. even if you look at the 2018 midterms, we saw democrats sweep the house of representatives. the ones who won their races, were the ones who embraced very progressive, left-wing policies which seem to resonate with voters and i think that's why we're seeing that at this time

as well. >> and health care a big issue for nevada voters also. we're seeing climate change and income inequality. of course we know that bernie sanders always talks about how the economy is not working for all. do you think that those particular issues that are important to voters will translate to other states as we continue in the primary process? >> it's hard to say because it's so early in the race. certainly, bernie sanders' victory in iowa, new hampshire was largely with white, working-class voters. with his nevada victory, he's shown that he has the ability to build a diverse coalition. he easily picked up the hispanic vote in nevada but also very importantly, he came in very close second to former vice president joe biden with the african-american vote. and so that says a lot about his ability to broaden his coalition and to continue building on that appeal in primaries and caucuses going forward. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning.

and talking about that african-american vote, we saw, again, bernie sanders coming in a close second here in nevada among african-american voters. that is the electorate that joe biden is really hoping to speak to in south carolina. so we'll have to see if he's successful. >> he keeps touting his performance there in south carolina. i have a question for you, you talked a lot about bernie sanders and why his popularity seems to continue to grow. i think one of the big things is because he has remained so consistent with his message. with needing to have the establishment coalesce into the establishment if he takes that nomination, is that going to shoot him in the foot when it comes to his core base that has always supported him because he doesn't change his message? >> i think it's really interesting. lindsey mentioned before that at the end of the day it's really coming down to electability more than ideology. if bernie sanders continues his winning streak in primaries and caucuses going forward, he may not have to change his message.

it maybe more that moderate democrats are the ones who end up coalescing around him without him having to make too many concessions as far as his key campaign platform. >> interesting. thank you. >> appreciate it. we'll be right back. ndwich, your mammoth masterpiece, and whatever this was. oscar mayer is found in more fridges than anyone else, because it's the taste you count on. make every sandwich count. the new rx. crafted by lexus. lease the 2020 rx 350 for $419 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

>> a new article for the "new york times" saying a similar foreign policy of president trump and bernie sanders may be part of a rational for supporting both candidates. joining us now on that, former federal prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst, and former senior director for counterterrorism at the nsc. thank you for being in. bernie sanders is the projected winner of the nevada caucus. he's surging nationally. although they differ in many areas of policies, they both offer this hands-off approach in terms of foreign policy. what's your take on that? do you agree? >> good morning. that's an interesting perspective from the "new york times." clearly that might be one of the objectives if russia is indeed attempting to at least influence the election outcomes now even before we get deeper into the system and maybe they're hedging their bets either with president

trump or bernie sanders as the potential nominee here. but i think the ultimate objective for russia, no matter which candidate they do wind up trying to sort of support or influence is that the russians are trying to divide us and make sure we are not united and i think ultimately whatever they wind up doing in 2020 is going to be for that objective, to make sure the united states remains divided politically, to sew these divisions. this is a zero-sum game from the russians. >> and president trump's response was to remove the director of national intelligence. that's been on top of mind for the last couple of days. this feels like an overreach. we know he has the power to hire and fire for jobs. but the motivation behind it, it seems like it's putting national security in peril.

>> and it's the equivalent if a doctor were to break some bad news to me, i would fire the doctor. it doesn't seem to exactly be the right response. as i was reading the reporting in the "new york times" yesterday, there was one paragraph buried in the middle that knocked the wind out of me. he said that robert o'brien who is the national security adviser who replaced bolton when bolton quit, he said that he hadn't seen any evidence of russia trying to help trump get re-elected but he then went on to say, quote, i am not surprised that russia is trying to help bernie sanders. now, when the intelligence community briefs congress that russia is doing both of these things, trying to get trump elected and trying to help bernie sanders and the trump administration cherry picks and then only relies on part of it, the part that hurts bernie sanders and helps trump, i have to tell you, that represents a

kind of really dangerous duplicity and it really exposes the trump administration for the ones that are offering disinformation. in fact, it seems like the trump administration is rivaling russia as a disinformation machine. so i think that really does a disservice to the american people. >> we'll leave it there. thank you, guys. you're about to meet a texas teenager who turned lemons and honey into a multimillion dollar business. >> she will tell us her story and how she's helping honey bees next. with this key to the city.
