so can sanders stage a comeback in the remaining primary states, we are back with dan henninger, kim ssel and jason riley. dan, only 40% of the democratic delegates are chosen, room for bernie to come back? daniel: yeah, by definition there's room for bernie to come back. the question is there room out there in the democratic electorate for bernie to grow his vote beyond what he has. it's not that bernie is falling off the clip. he's still competitive but he's not winning and you need to grow his voter up higher than he's been producing and i think you've got to give senator sanders credit as he just said in the clip, this is about a difference in ideas and how to go forward with, you know, politics in this p country and bernie is proposing medicare for all, basically nationalized healthcare, he's proposing free tuition, joe biden suggesting that it be done more incrementally, he defends barack obama affordable care act and says we can build on that. both of them are pretty out distinct visions to democratic voter and so far voters have been going to joe biden. paul: results not a rev

we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and jason riley. an, only 40% of the democrat delegates are chosen, room for bernie to come back? >> yeah, by definition there's room for bernie to come back and the question is there room out there in the democratic electorate for bernie to grow his vote beyond what he has? it's not as though bernie is falling off the clip, he's still competitive but he's not winning and you need to grow voter up higher than his producing. you to give senator sanders credit as he just said in that clip, this is about a difference in ideas and how to go forward with, you know, politics in this country and bernie is proposing medicare for all, basically nationalized health care and other things, free tuition. >> joe biden to be done incrementally. both of them are pretty out a pretty distinct separate visions to democratic voters and so far those voters have been going for joe biden. paul: results not a revolution. >> right, the problem for sanders even where he's winning he's underperforming. he was counting on big win

melissa: here to react, let's bring in dan henninger from "the wall street journal" he is also a fox news contributor. given everything we've heard, looking at this great piece in the "wall street journal" kevin warsh who is brilliant. i like his opening line, if you've seen one financial crisis, you've seen one financial crisis, meaning this is a different a lot of ways from 2008 and the response from the fed has to be different and frankly for the rest of washington. what are your thoughts, dan? >> i agree with kevin warsh, former member of the federal reserve board and this thing is unique what we're going through right now. 2008 was a crisis but here we're talking about virtually shutting down the u.s. economy, at least for 15 days. they're telling everybody to essentially shelter in place, stay home, stay away from other people. so obviously a lot of businesses such as here, new york city, is pretty much shut down, melissa, as you well know. there is virtually minimal amount of economic activity going on. if this situation is going to con at some level like this as we try to fla

let's bring in wall street journal columnist, da dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgern. speech by the president in the oval office where he tried to reassure americans. did it accomplish that? >> i think it may have accomplished it. between the time he gave it and the time people went to bed, but then thursday happened and we had this just extraordinary number of closings, sports leagues canceling, one after another, all day long. institutions being shut down across new york city, across the country, the governor of ohio closing schools. i think by the end of the day thursday, the american people were pretty beaten down by the coronavirus psychologically. so i think it got to the point where the white house now i think has to consider whether there isn't a role for them to provide more daily leadership, guidance from the specialists that the president appointed, whether it's mike pence, anthony fauci of the national health institute, to reassure the american people where we are going at the moment from one day to the next. paul: the focus, the president in the speech rea

dan henninger, "wall street journal," fox news contributor. listening to ideas there. i don't want congress working on this. they have don't know anything about money. they will open a giant fire hose and spray indiscrimenantly. >> right. melissa: we have the right financial team. larry kudlow, steve mnuchin, the president, they understand very well about credit. what would you tell them to do, and how much at this point? >> well i think the baseline going into any of these conversations is. >> the economy is very strong. there is note 2008 where the economy is not strong. we don't into evidence the obama stimulus of $800 billion thrown into the economy. more importantly i'm a little bit concerned as we try to get our arms around the coronavirus, you see the white house, democrats on capitol hill bogging down into usual political food fight. that is the last thing the american people want toe see in washington right now, is an argument how they should be spending money. let's face it, if we're looking at a crisis like this, somewhat similar to

melissa: here now is dan henninger from "the wall street journal." he is also a fox business contributor, and dan, one of the biggest questions everybody is grappling with right now, how much of this damage to the economy and to all of these businesses is permanent? what will come back and what won't, what do you think? >> i think this is the biggest variable the market is not able to price in right now. that is specifically human behavior. what will be the human behavioral response when we get past this as we will? will people go back to behaving as they always did? i don't think anyone knows that, whether they will be traveling as much as they did? going out, travel and leisure. we had a booming economy before all this happened. i've been thinking, melissa, in terms of putting all the money in peoples pockets, the idea they would go out and spend it, what if people are concerned and decide to put it in their savings accounts and not spend the money? after the pandemic of 1918 it took several years before the united states got back to usual. people w

elizabeth: dan henninger of "wall street journal" effective writing, so what bernie wins california?me a socialist state years ago. he is saying bernie's socialism will not play in the upcoming primary states, michigan, florida, ohio, pennsylvania. voters there won't go for it. by the way your take on biden faces the same biden hillary clinton could not overcome, backlash from bernie sanders voters? many of them sat out, didn't vote in 2016, anywhere from one in eight, to one in 10 bernie supporters voted for trump in swing states like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin. your reaction? >> liz, that is a very good point. if bernie sanders is the nominee, there will be a bunch of people who won't necessarily vote for him because he is running as a socialist but if joe biden wins the nomination, there is a big problem for the democrat base because some of their folks are going to sit on their hands and stay home and some are going to vote for donald trump. this, this is a win-win for donald trump. the guy who wins every time there's a democrat primary or caucus has been president trum

let's ask wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, columnist kim strassel and columnistow jason riley. kim, i have this view of myself that what happened here with the democrats was a lot of them

i think it's time we brought in dan henninger. after all, it is a thursday.ger's column is published in the "wall street journal." welcome back to the program. good to see you again. >> good to be with you, stuart. remotely. stuart: your column is all -- yeah, remote. your column is all about president trump's leadership. right from the get-go, would you rate president trump's leadership in the virus crisis for us? go. >> well, i would rate it really quite good so far. i think he's doing a good job. but i do think that we are in a very strange political situation at the moment. we are in the midst of a national crisis akin to a world war. the economy is shut down, an unprecedented situation, and yet i think we are seeing the price we are paying for the politics of the last three years with what's going on with the democrats. the level of political rancor for three years with the russian collusion narrative and the impeachment was also unprecedented, and it's pretty obvious to me that the democrats cannot step away from that. just amazing to see nancy pelosi s

melissa: dan henninger, thank you so much. no. thank you. connell: let's go to some numbers we're putting together, trying on a daily basis. more than 372,000 cases worldwide coronavirus. 41,000 of those right here in the united states. then we get to testing. we look at u.s. public health labs testing more than 67,000 people as of yesterday. the white house is promising 27 million testing kits to be available by end of march as medical professionals continue to race for a cure, at least for some kind of treatment. in fact we'll talk to a fox psychologist about a potential treatment, melissa, coming up next. melissa: all right, meanwhile, combating the crisis. one hospital is challenging the public to make masks, millions of them. to help curb the shortage. we are hive from washington state with the latest on that. so you only pay for what you need!

here to discuss is dan henninger from "the wall street journal." he is also a fox news contributor.hat is one way to do it. the other thing i heard from so many democrats over the weekened, yeah, i can still get behind bernie because the congress will be a check on him. he is not really going to put all these things into play, it is still better than trump. i had to say, he will be executive order president, he will ban fracking out of the gate. what do you think? >> i'm coming to the same view myself. i don't think bernie cares all that much about the democratic party. i do agree. i think he would rule through executive orders. obama did that. donald trump has done it to a great extent. that is the route bernie would be taking. at the same time, i find it kind of amusing that the democrats are basically arguing that they would provide divided government. in other words they would be a brake on bernie sanders? normally republicans who end up or the opposition party anyway who provides divided government. if democrats start talking this way, having socialism light, you can bet the re

[laughter] stuart: thanks very much, indeed, dan henninger. that was good.loomberg is out, so let's bring in doug sean who may or may not be still on bloomberg's payroll. [laughter] stuart: you don't know this one, do you? >> he engaged me through the election. i was with him yesterday when he made his decision to drop out and i can only tell you anything mike bloomberg would want me to do is my pleasure. >> as i understand it he's keeping a lot of his staff, the bloomberg staff -- the election staff, he's keeping a lot of them and he's suggesting that he might throw his money behind joe biden as well. that would mean that bloomberg finances the biden campaign and staffs it. >> yeah, i think what is more likely he will focus on the general election and running against donald trump. he had initially said he was going to mount an effort against trump. that turned into his candidacy which was largely focused on drinks and distinctions from the trump policies and i think what is certain is mike bloomberg is not going away and he will focus with his remaining sta

. >> let's bring in dan henninger, deputy editor and fox news contributor. there may be some truth to what the president is saying about warren being selfish when all the others seem to be clearing the field for biden. maybe she should try to clear the field for sanders but the president has a stake in it. if warren gets out and sanders get more support. >> if the goal is to defeat donald trump the president wants to run against bernie sanders perhaps the democrats should nominate joe biden. why is it in elizabeth warren's -- i understand elizabeth warren is a senator and she is a democrat and she has all these plans. when she goes back into that senate, those plans will be the basis for her legislative agenda. she is going to be working with other democrats. so i think she is probably going to stay in a little bit longer and hold down bernie's delegate totals and go to milwaukee. she won't help elect bernie sanders. >> ed: you have an interesting column related to all this. socialism just bombed. hard to believe these days but voters still get the last word
