he'll be looking a t ing at a h controlled by democrats and sea of democratic senator who is want to take him on. we saw cory bookerrats who want to challenge him. >> we see rand paul. we saw mitt romney. a isn't it true senat this will be very, very precise. everything that is done now between now and few minutes after 9:00 p.m. eastern when the president starts speaking, everything is plotted out. >> there's a protocol. we know when the diplomats when start walking, when senators will walk in, when the president's cabinet will walk in. the washington post is reporting and cnn has confirmed that in 1986, she filled out a registration card for the state bar of texas and she put down as her race, american-indian on that registration card. she's not an american-indian. warren spokesperson says she's said she's not a citizen of any tribe and only tribes determine tribal citizenship. she was sorry she was not mindful of this earlier in her career. the story that is dogging elizabeth warren for months now and it's one she's had to face for a long time since she ran for senate. the idea of how she represented her ethnici

but several reports say t-bone wasn't an actual person, but rather a composite of people booker had metwe know in the coming weeks senator booker will be in iowa, south carolina and new hampshire, george. getting out there early and to important state. >> watching him in the senate and, tom, thanks very much. he will sit down with the ladies of "the view" later this morning and you can watch it here on abc. >>> now to that breaking news overnight, that missing tennessee teen found safe nearly 700 miles from home in wisconsin. erielle reshef joins us now with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this morning after that nearly three-week search that spanned more than four states, a missing girl found. but now a chilling break in that case. the teen's adoptive father arrested for sexual assault. we're now concealing the girl's identity as authorities say she could be a victim. this morning a 14-year-old is safe three weeks after she mysteriously vanished from her ten -- tennessee home, bringing an end to a desperate multistate search. and now a major twist in the case. just

booker oftentimes is seen somewhat as a showboat. people have talked about him being a showboat when he was running for senator. he told the story about a guy named tdied a lot of people he interacted with on the streets of newark but wasn't specific that he had an interaction with him. >> first of all, it's dan rea and the show is night side. >> i'm sorry about that. of course. >> no problem. dan rea. it's a short name but it can be mis mispronounced. i think he'll be a formidable candidate. i think kamala harris had a great start last weekend. the democrats will have to figure this out. they have to decide whether they want to go with a joe biden perhaps or if they want to go in a bigger direction. the biggest mistake they could make is elizabeth warren. she doesn't wear well. >> earl? >> disagree with that. i think elizabeth warren will wear very well. i'll tell you why. i think her economical equity message will play well in those three or four states that are must win. namely michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. i think she has a compelling message. i wouldn't throw in the towel on her. as far as cory booker goes, i do agree. he's a compelli

booker. things are pretty good in america, cory, and i don't know we are already rising. that was his big statement today, we are all going to rise. we just heard even your imaginary friend t-bone has found a job. maybe that is why he wasn't at your bigim announcement today. very sad. and that is the angle. >> all right, joining me now howie kurtz fox news analyst and media buzz sunday here on fox news and u.s. attorney joseph digenova, howie, let me start with you. i feel like we say this way too much, but it's not a good week for the media on a number of fronts. b >>howie: laura, by far the most egregious case has to do with late-term abortion bills in virginia and new york and i say this whether pro-life pro-choice, reservation, this is a dramatic shift yet "new york times," "washington post" framing as only a case of partisan republican's objection to abortion rights even though instead of having a debate on the morality of allowing abortions even up to the day of birth as ralph northam says in a taped a interview that we have l looked at. rather than allowing for that possibility, andnd by the way cnn, msnbc and major networks have barely touched the story blatantly b

even as the t democratic contenders so far seem to agree, looking carefully, there is divide over how far to go and hw fast. the day he announc presidential run, new jersey senator cory bookeren asd, said he would not end private health insurance.s >> even countrat have vast access to publicly offered heal care still have private health care, so no. >> desjardins: also in favor of keepg private health insuran are senators kirsten gillibrand of new york and elizabeth warren of massachusetts. that versus california senator kamala harris, who told a cnn town hall in january she does want to end private insurance. >> i believe the solution, and i actually feel very strgly about this, is that we need to have medicare for all. that's just the bottom le >> desjardins: later her communications team walked that back, saying she is open to other pla as well. fully government-run health care is the broadest idea but many democratic candidates also support smaller takes on that, like expanding medicare to start ten years rlier, at age 55, or offering a so-called "publhiic option," would be a government-run health insurance plan, possibly like medicare. south bend mayor pete buttigieg t
