. >> reporter: tonight the battle for the democratic nomination is cutting a path through the midwest. >> i don't think they're looking for a revolution i think they are looking for results. >> reporter: joe biden is riding a wave of momentum and intensifying his attacks on president trump's handling of the coronavirus. >> the president has just diminished any confidence anyone would have in a presidency he shouldn't say another word. >> reporter: two new polls have the former vice president now up double digits here in michigan which bernie sanders won in 2016. today cory booker endorsed biden, adding to support from other formal rivals including kamala harris but senator sanders is fighting back, focussing on the midwest after cancelling a weekend event in mississippi. >> joe voted for disastrous trade agreements which have been horrific for the midwest. i helped lead the effort against those terrible trades. >> reporter: both campaigns are still planning large events despite growing concerns of the coronavirus. should candidates be holding large political rallies going forward? >>

because of all the globally were coming out of the midwest. for a few years and then a gentleman called jf listen to called illinois, he gets a patent for what is recognizably remarkable. barbed wire and you can still recognize it today. it's a string of wire, they have a shop that wrapped around it and another string of wire and you twist one and and a twist around each other and that stops the barbs moving backwards and forwards and it's that simple and 10 years after he got that patent the us made 240 thousand miles of barbed wire. enough to go around the earth 10 times. because it was, this was solving a problem.it's just fencing. it's just fencing. we had fencing beforehand. we had the great wall of china, we knew how to build a wall for a very long time ago but this is a way to do it cheaply and again, the cheapness of it that changed the world. here's another example. this graph is from the financial times best newspaper in the world. this is solar power and i apologize because this graph is now 4 years old so you live in the desert, yo

think we can start by opening up certain parts of the country, the farm belt, certain parts of the midwest, other places, but i think as an example, you go to texas, there are places in texas, they were places where tremendously big state, that are impacted by this. so i think we can open up sections, quadrants and then just keep them going until the whole country is ," but we have to open up, the people want to get back to work. they want to get back.

on super tuesday, biden swept the south and midwest, winning virginia, north carolina, arkansas, alabama, tennessee, oklahoma, massachusetts, minnesota, and texas, propelled by huge majority of african-american voters in southern states. onewhile, bernie sanders his home state of vermont and scored victories in the west, winning colorado and utah, and according to the associated press, sanders won the grand prize of the night, california, with significant latinx support. binds strong showing him after the dinner at a party establishment -- democratic party establishment surrounded him with amy klobuchar and pete buttigieg dropping out in recent days and throwing their support behind biden. this is biden speaking last night in los angeles. >> i'm here to report that we are very much alive! it,make no mistake about this campaign will send donald trump packing. this campaign is taking off. join us! came inders biggest win california were latin voters account for nearly 40% of the population. sanders spoke last night from his home state of vermont. two major goals in front of us, and they ar

and we need the midwest in order to win in november. that's her strongest argument at this point. we'll have to wait and see tuesday night and wednesday how she does. >> maybe she has the clear path to make that case but she has to make it by performance. the candidate that's often forgotten is tulsi gabbard. she didn't really compete in iowa. she was seventh in new hampshire, she didn't really compete in nevada, and she's seventh in south carolina. i will note this. she is a congresswoman from hawaii. american samoa votes on super tuesday. the rule as it now stands, if you get a delegate, you're still in the debate. is that correct? >> that's the rule for the debates, but the dnc has not released the official results in phoenix, but it would be likely they're trying to cancel tulsi. if a change in the rules might allow her to rejoin the debate stage. >>> when we come back, israelis back at the polls today. it is the third time really the charm? will they clearly pick a prime minister? that's impossible. hi, i'm jonathan, a manager here

this is part of his midwest strategy. you hear him all the time on the campaign trail talk about the importance that the midwest has not only in this primary but in taking back the white house from president trump and that's where he's going to be targeting his attention later today. one thing you're also hearing from senator sanders on the campaign trail is he is stepping up his attacks against vice president joe biden he said yesterday he did make a nod to elizabeth warren, praised her came pain but he said now that there are two people in this race essentially, this is a two-person race, it allows more time for contrast. he shows he's willing to engage in those contrasts. listen to a little bit of what he said yesterday. >> joe biden has received campaign support from at least 60 billionaires. he is receiving support now from former mayor bloomberg, one of the wealthiest people in this country. and joe has an active super pac. >> his campaign signaling we'll hear many more of those attacks in the days and weeks to come

the prohibition midwest when he was really young. and he is called to iceland and then europe and he sees the contrast between what is happening in the united states and in the midwest, which had been isolationist. now he's confronted with tyranny and fortress europe. it changes him. it broadens his outlook. brian, would you talk about that? imagine, a west michigan native, born in fort wayne, indiana, but at a young age moved to grand rapids. very midwestern. to see what he saw with his own eyes and experience that, must have been a tremendous undertaking. he talked about-and you mentioned earlier-duck out concentration camp -- dachau concentration camp and the express he had there with the prisoners. -- experience he had with the prisoners. he is on the hunt for hitler's. he has been to the eagles nest. he is heading for berlin. as an intelligence officer you have reports from the field these things are going on. but there is never really any concrete evidence and so when he saw this firsthand, and the prisoners come up to him and

, winning in the upper midwest, wh he states out west.actually do think ven though bernie sanders said he is going to debate, that he is staying in the rac i think he and the folks around him know that his path actually closed dramatically last night. we will see how long this goes for. jane: joe biden is is still the same candidate he wawhtwo weeks ag his campaign was declared dead on arrival. if he hasn't changed, what has? >> i think a few things have changed. onee is aces where the elections are happening has changed. that is a really signicant thing, a thing that is quite impressive about what vice presidentab biden has been le to do is the coalition he has been able to build. the first three states did not have a sizableerntage of african-american voters. you could see that vice president biden is doing incredibly well with those ters. you didn't have large suburban areas like you do in mhigan or in missouri or the st. louis area, where he has done really well with educated suburban women inr. particu and he has actually shown that

who' going to be able to get white voters in t midwest? and is biden actually strong ough to withstand this primar when bind started to show that strength in south carolina, it sodified something that was already there waiting for him. vote whorselready believed that he had a lot ofhe ingredients to be -- to inevitably be the nominee. and they were looking for a reason to -- to actually cast and the unprecedented sort of moderate consodation that we saw with buttigieg and klobachar made a huge, huge difference cause they always -- also want to know whether the nominee will be able to unite the party after a tough primary together. he was able to do that. i think the buttigieg campaign in particular led this off. ot and had he done that, i'm not sure it would have happened the way that it did. it d i think they were concerned that klobachar would not get out unless he did. that's why he went first. he did not want to be blamed for biden being weakened going into super tuesday. jonathan: president obama did have a phone qual mayor pete after

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

the midwest. he won in new england, folks. maine. massachusetts. elizabeth warren's home state.is was able to do it by putting together a coalition of african-americans in the south, white working-class voters. the only weakness is out here in the west where he didn't do well with latinos and young progressives. >> how real, i know i am going to the negative. how real is the challenge in the west? >> most of the contests in the west are done. at least the ones really assi assigning a lot of the delegate. he did better with them in texas. tends to be more of a western problem with latinos. he is doing so well with older voters that it cancels it out. >> bernie did get it here on this belt but biden winning in the white suburbs. the march math you will see, not going to be as much about it is left. >> the big prize is michigan. the minnesota win last night he got i think that tells us a lot about michigan. michigan has a lot of people, white working-class voters and also has african-americans he has done particularly well with. when you look at the math and if those conditions hol

and these states in the rust belt and in the midwest are really critical to whatever, whoever is goingo win in the 2020 contest. >> right. and it is fascinating, isn't it? i'd like to ask you what you think changed joe biden's sudden political fortunes from almost being written out of the race to being the new democratic front runner? do you think it is the voters have decided look, we're just -- democratic voters at least have thought we just need the person who can beat trump? is that what this is about? >> that is what it is about, but they're looking at electability. and you have voters that are voting strategically. so, some of them may not be as moderate, in the moderate lane. they may even be more progressive. but they're worried if they end up voting for sanders, then that could be a big risk and that trump would probably prefer to go against sanders even though he tried to say on tv that he wouldn't. we know he sees biden as the main competitor. that's why he tried to undermine the 2020 election by trying to get him investigated. to answer the question about the change in mome

campaign has clarified a lot with the departure they changed with what brings -- focusing on the midwest, and it's a two-person race, and it's remarkable we saw those scheduled changes from bernie sanders, essentially saying he's going to focus on the midwest, the fact that he did so well in psychopsycho, and you are seeing president trump really struggle to shift his focus back to joe biden. andrea, he's trying to figure out, how for i attack? first it was hunter biding with his business dealings, not to say that won't be an issue 67 but now he's trying to make the argument that joe biden is to the left of bernie sanders. who say, look, that's not necessarily the way to go after joe biden. of course, hi chief argument is the economy, and we know the administration is quite concerned not only by the virus and their response to it and how they are going to navigate but how they're going to , how are they shifting the focus that we see on these rallies. shifting back to biden now, it seems, as kristin was gist alluding to, the real questions about his handling of that, we've seen the econo

i've been a 56-year resident of district 4, so basically i was born in the midwest, and midwesterners tend to put down roots deep, so i did. >> chairwoman: can i ask you what inspired you to go to law school and get a law degree? i'm just curious. >> well, you're talking to an older woman here. i always wanted to be a lawyer. but i grew up in a very small town in the midwest, and at that particular time, women didn't go off to become attorneys. we, at best, got to be teachers or nurses. and so that had to be put aside, which i did. and empty nest syndrome, where the children are beginning to get their wings a little and spread them, i thought, now or never. so i went to law school. >> chairwoman: well, speaking to two women attorneys, thank you for forging the bath for us. >> in my case, what glass ceiling? one of the things that inspired me to get so involved in the community, approximately seven years ago, my husband started to develop the symptoms of dementia and alzheimer's disease. and i was scared to death. and i didn't know where to go or what to look for or where to get help.

the least is the south and the midwest. of course, everybody's going to wonder what's the heat and impact on this will it also, there is a pretty good area of rain that's going to be moving through the northeast as we go throughout the morning so yesterday, the growth rate in the united states was about 30%. we've been averaging about 30 to 35% per day. we need to bring that down or the healthcare system will be overwhelmed. >> and doing that, there are a lot of extreme measures being taken for all of us. everybody's got their own thing they're doing. one guy in italy is doing whatever it takes to prevent catching the virus look at this creative way to distance himself from others by wearing that giant table around his waist taking the cdc's advice and w.h.o. literally in his efforts to keep people away from him the table is about three feet wide on all sides. still less than the six feet that the w.h.o./cdc recommends. >> just stay home. what are you going to do just ahead, the olympic torch is lit but only the cameras wer

we're going to the midwest. i'll be in michigan shortly.d as i think everybody knows, michigan, wisconsin, and beyond midwest in general, minnesota, have been very hard hit by disastrous trade agreements. and joe is going to have to explain to the people, the union workers in the midwest why he supported disastrous trade agreements like nafta and china that have cost this country millions of good paying jobs, and in fact have resulted in a race to the bottom. people are now earning lower wages, millions of people today lost good paying jobs in manufacturing and are now earning substantially less than they used to. joe is going to have to explain to the american people why he voted for a wall street bailout, something that i vigorously opposed. joe is going to have to explain to the american people who are so tired of endless wars, which have cost us too many lives, destabilized many regions around the world, have cost us trillions of dollars while he was a leader in getting us involved in the war in iraq at a time when half of our people ar

states now has the most coronavirus cases in the world, with emerging concerns about hot spots in the midwest and the south. this as hospitals are depleted of protective gear for health workers and ventilators for patients. president trump has signed the biggest emergency relief package in american history, also announcing he is using a unique power that allows him to basically take over u.s. supply lines. all that while more states issue shutdown orders and more americans than ever before file for unemployment benefits. and it seems that putting aside the president's mixed message, the public is cooperating. a new "washington post"/abc news poll shows nine in ten americans are maintaining distance from others and also staying home as much as possible. eight in ten say they're washing their hands more often. so on today's show we ask what will the next phase of response be? how long will it last? and how bad will it get? and our unique question, will black america be left behind as the country plans its economic recovery for after the pandemic is over? we start in the state that some call the

midwest is in blue, northeast is in red. the south is in pink. we had a big jump in the number of cases in the south. this weekend, the number of cases evenly jumped. so it's evenly distributeded now. the midwest still with the smallest numbers, but you can see the exponential jump. sunday, i'll sit here and tell you that the curve has flattened, but it hasn't yet. we'll probably add close to a thousand across our country today. so as far as any weather concerns go today, we're going to see some heavy rain, oklahoma, up to the midwest, nothing that is too concerning. we would love it to warm up around the country. everyone will be outside doing things away from other people. sunny and cool in the northeast today. as we go throughout the rest of this week, stormy weather in the middle of the country and that heads to the northeast by friday but it's getting cold in areas of the northern half of the country. as everyone is heading outdoors, we don't want the cold. the one saving grace for people this weekend was that it was kind of nice. >>> still

he's been in the midwest. if he can keep -- if he can stay competitive with bernie sanders in michigan, which is going to be the key state that we see on tuesday, and then, you know, really do well in the south, as we've seen him -- as we saw him do on super tuesday and as he expects to do, then i think that, you know, he's in a good position to come out of next tuesday and roll into the following tuesday just in a really strong position. obviously michigan, though, is going to be the one to watch. i think that's the state where you can -- where the candidate who wins will be able to make this case that i can win in the midwest. these are the states we need win to beat donald trump. and i can bring together this coalition of working class, african-american, college students, et cetera. >> appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> thank you. >>> the coronavirus crisis is leaving people with so many questions about what to do if they have to travel. this is spring break time. a lot of families had a vacation plan

when you fly over, you say there is jefferson when i look at the midwest. i find that's so cool. there is actual physical representation of this. it's kind of amazing, that it lasted that long. and then jefferson, after the ordinance, he has more. he has the louisiana purchase. this is 1806, one of jefferson's most significant and injuring achievements. everyone talks about we have the louisiana purchase and we toss it off. yet, this is amazing. and more than doubles the size of a new nation. when you think about the implications of that, it's astounding. to double the size, of a country and imagine how are you gonna get all those people in? in all that territory? this seems like a pretty big challenge. and giving the current debates over him immigration in here and europe, people are now thinking about the process of that, and imagine that to be a real difficulty. here's jefferson, doubling more than double of the united states. we are people from within united states, and people coming to the united states included. it's pretty amazing. there is this optimistic vision of the co

basically what's happened across the midwest and elsewhere, but it's really pronounced in the midwestr white voters, particularly blue collar white voters in 2016, were with bernie sanders, were against hillary clinton, not faced with the twist between biden and sanders. that split is gone. they're going with biden. they're leading sanders. you will see it in michigan, illinois, missouri. i bet if we had ohio yesterday, good chance we would have seen it there. it raises a general election question if biden is the nominee. remember, the reason trump's president, he was able to win those three states there, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin on the strength of blue collar white support, is biden's improvement in the primaries among blue collar white voters, does that portend more success with him for those voters than clinton had four years ago? that's the million dollar question in presidential politics. another one is will we have another presidential primary this cycle? it's a little more basic at this point. >>> still ahead, bernie sanders' options as he reassesses his campaign. to t

he performs better in the industrial midwest.t, as we learned in 2016, you can get all the votes you want against trump if you don't get the electoral college, we will not get the presidency back. you can get millions more votes than donald trump. >> you've got to get them in the right places. >> we will win michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, which are all the states bernie sanders wins against trump and outperforms biden in many of these states. this is due to trade, due to immigration and a lot of different issues in which the senator has exemplified a commitment to working class people. >> i hear you. the most important poll will come out next tuesday. >> absolutely. >> we will see what happens in michigan and that will really do a lot to shape the race. every time there's an opportunity to discuss these issues going forward, you know you have a place here if you want it. same goes for the senator. >> i deeply appreciate that. >> absolutely. alexandria ocasio-cortez, the best to you and good luck to the candidate going forward

when i look down and look at the midwest. i just think that is so cool. but there is physical representation of this, it is kind of amazing that it has lasted that long. and then jefferson, after the ordinance, he gets -- he does more land. so he has the louisiana purchase. and this is one of -- and this is 1806. and one of jefferson's more significant and enduring achievements, so we have -- everybody talks about we have the louisiana purchase and you toss it off and yet this is amazing. it more than doubles the size of the new nation. and when you think about the implications of that, it is pretty astounding. actually to double the size of a country and then imagine how are you going to incorporate all of the people in all of that territory. this seems like a pretty big challenge. in giving current debates over immigration both here and in europe, people now are thinking through the process of that and imagining that to be a real difficulty and here is jefferson adding on double -- more than doubling the size of the united states with the expectation th

farmers in the midwest cannot grow the food we need.lking about more and more extreme weather disturbances. flooding. we are talking about at the end of the century, hundreds of millions of people worldwide notming climate refugees, able to live in their own communities because there's no water to drink or land to grow their crops. whether the fossil fuel industry likes it or not, we are going to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel. to energy efficiency and sustainable energy under the principles of a green new deal.
