Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom 20200218

The presidency. Especially after being mayor of new york and having a racist stop and frisk policy. Especially after opposing imagine, a multibillionaire opposing a raise in the minimum wage. Ed peter doocy is live in las vegas this morning where early voting has already begun. Good morning, peter. Good morning. Michael bloomberg had been insisting he wasnt going to debate as long as the dnc required to reach a certain number of donors to qualify. The dnc insisted they wouldnt change that rule. But the dnc did change the rule. Now Michael Bloomberg is set for his first debate with his Campaign Manager telling us a few minutes ago our crowds continue to grow and our Coalition Continues to broaden. There is a desire in every corner of this country for a proven leader and someone who stands up to bullies, special interests and get things done. That person is Mike Bloomberg and we look forward to more americans seeing that wednesday night. The poll that put him on the stage finds Bernie Sanders in a lead with 31 followed by bloomberg at 19. He is now ahead of joe biden who has 15 . Last night the former vp attended a private fundraiser in denver cite sizing bloombergs massive spending on this campaign. Mayor bloomberg says the healthcare bill was a disaster, a lousy bill. He has 60 billion to explain that. Even the candidates with a lot of Campaign Cash who have already won early states are asking their supporters to help counter the bloomberg advertising blitz. What im asking of you is to spread whatever sense of hope made you think it was worth it to spend this time here together today and share that with anybody who you know who will be more convinced by a word from you than an ad from me about the value of getting involved. Tom steyer still has not qualified for the debate tomorrow night. The candidates who are definitely going to get a crack at bloomberg here in las vegas, sanders, warren, biden, buttigieg and klobuchar. Ed peter, thank you. Sandra lets bring in byron york from the washington examiner. Good morning. First off, let me read you the politico headline this morning. Mike bloomberg just made the debate. Can he keep his cool . The former new york mayor writes he knows his opponents are coming after him and he has been preparing for weeks. Big question is, is he up for this . Well, it is not at all clear because first of all, the other candidates are happy, i think, that he is in this debate. Theyve been complaining he has been getting all the attention without having to face the kind of questions they face every day. But there is a real question about whether he is ready for it. And the reason is candidates get better at being candidates as a Campaign Goes on. They get practice at it. They start early in the campaign when fewer people are watching. They are better by the time of the campaign when a lot of people are watching. Michael bloomberg is starting at 60 miles an hour in the middle of everything. He has no time to improve or not. If you look at his appearances so far on the stump they are not particularly compelling. Doesnt seem to totally have the hang of it and he hasnt debated anybody in more than a decade. These candidates have been through at least six debates in this Campaign Season so far. Sandra you have to wonder what that is going to look like for sure. A lot of curiosity heading into that. The National Review headline this morning, the narrow but real window for a joe biden comeback. If you look at the National Polling this morning npr, news hour, and others, a National Poll has Bernie Sanders at the top leading 31 , bloomberg now rising to second at 19 and joe biden falling to now 15 . The National Review is writing about a lot of ifs for a come back but it is still in the realm of possibility. What is the future for joe biden . It was an interesting poll. A huge poll for Bernie Sanders. One of his best showings ever. The interesting thing about joe biden is the consensus, the media consensus and conventional wisdom going out of iowa and New Hampshire and he was a dead man walking and didnt know it yet. The interesting thing about nevada and South Carolina is how little we know about where the electorate is right now. If you look at the real clear politics average of polls in nevada we have all of two polls from this month both of them show Bernie Sanders with a big lead. In South Carolina we have one poll. So its very, very difficult to say right now where the electorate is and thus difficult to pronounce joe biden dead in South Carolina especially because there are a number of people who supported him before iowa and New Hampshire who say they still support him now. So if he were to go ahead and win in South Carolina, where would we be . We would have a lot of different winners in the race so far and no clear leader. Sandra big news for Bernie Sanders at 31 there. Joe biden at 15 . Michael bloomberg at 19 . I know that youve been talking about the danger at starting in the middle and for Mike Bloomberg what that means for the amount of time that he has to improve in this race. Final thoughts on that, byron. His showing is first of all a really amazing showing. He is now in second place basically on the strength of close to 400 Million Dollars in advertising just he is going to be on the debate stage in nevada but not on the ballot in nevada, nor will he be on the ballot in South Carolina. So its an extraordinary showing for a man who really has not had contact with voters yet. And we saw what contact with the voters did for the frontrunner joe biden in iowa and New Hampshire. And we have yet to see what will happen when voters have a say in Michael Bloomberg on the ballot. Sandra you dug up words from an interview in detroit earlier this month, byron, talking about the fight with those candidates. He said you know me, i like a fight. I thought it would be fun to go and compete. I always thought that was fun to joust. See what that looks like on a debate stage. Final thought . He skipped the first four fights. Thats really quite interesting. He is going to jump in on super tuesday. Unclear what the voters in super tuesday states will say after weve had results from iowa, New Hampshire, nevada and South Carolina. Sandra thank you. Ed thank you, sandra. Breaking this morning as well the director of the Chinese Hospital at the center of the coronavirus outbreak has died from the disease as japan announces 88 more confirmed cases aboard the diamond princess cruise ship. 72,000 people have been infected around the world. At least 29 diagnosed at home in america. Greg palkot is live in london with the latest on the global reaction. Good morning, greg. More dangers and a spreading risk from the coronavirus. Just reported today that death of the head of one of the leading hospitals in the city of wuhan really the center of this crisis. Something like 1700 caregivers have died or fallen ill to the disease so far and in china the overall figures just out more than 1800 deaths and more than 72,000 cases. If its any consolation the daily number of new deaths and new cases has once again gone down today. It is still high. Those 88 new cases on the cruise line in japan bring the number infected there to over 500, from 44 americans from the ship are being treated at hospitals in japan. Quarantine is set to be lifted tomorrow. At the same time over 300 americans from the ship were brought back yesterday to the states, 14 americans who were infected are being treated at hospitals stateside including one in omaha, nebraska. Then there is the matter of the other cruise ship in cambodia. Officials are testing for the virus after an 83yearold woman who left was found infected when she traveled to malaysia. There are split opinions among the experts as to the longrange dangers of this disease. They are saying today it is 20 times more fatal than the flu. And the flu, we know, can pack a punch. Ed thanks for running that all down for us this morning. Sandra, were talking off camera about the tokyo marathon coming up this month. 38,000 runners. They have shrunk it down to 200 competing to win. There is too much of a threat. Sandra that story coming up and the patients moved to a nebraska facility, that is geared up and ready to deal with those with an infectious disease. They handled ebola and sars. More on that coming up. Meanwhile a terrifying moment at the daytona 500 yesterday. Hamlin up the outside. Crash into the wall into the air. A shower of sparks on his roof. Sandra it was a tragic happening yesterday. Nascar driver ryan newman involved in the crash in the final lap of the race. What were hearing about him and his condition straight ahead. Ed historic flooding still devastating mississippi. More heavy rain on the way threatening to make things worse. How state officials are handling what theyre calling unprecedented floods. Thats next. I knew we were in the floodplain but, you know, were talking 40 years since anything like this has happened. Wow thats ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. Its a situp, banana bend at the waist im tryin keep it up. Youll get there. Whoahoahoa 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. Ensure max protein. Ed fox news alert from mississippi where historic flooding has parts of the capital city of jackson now submerged in water forcing hundreds of people to evacuate their homes. The state bracing for additional flooding because heavy rain continues to batter the south. Our correspondent Steve Harrigan is live from jackson with the latest. Good morning, steve. Good morning. Ed. Were in the middle class section of jackson, mississippi yesterday showing you damaged houses. Some of these bigger houses on the edge of town were built after the last big flood 37 years ago and theyre really just islands now surrounded by water. The only way in or out is by boat. Now the river crested yesterday. The pearl river about a foot lower than expected. Very good news. For a lot of people its been a tough decision whether or not to evacuate their homes. We talked to one man who decided to ride it out. Ill sleep lightly. If the water happens to start rising ill get out of here, of course. Im not going to try to brave the elements. If it gets to the point where i feel that its dangerous enough for me to leave im gone. About a thousand homes are estimated to have been damaged by this flooding. One real problem with the cleanup is these waters begin to recede over the next three or four days is sewage. A lot of sewage in this water and there are still two more inches of rain forecast for this week. Ed incredible. Sandra for more on all of this lets bring in malary pullen. Thank you for coming on the program this morning. Best to you and all those communities as they have a long way to go here while the river has crested we do know flooding remains a big threat. What can you tell us this morning . Good morning. The big thing is were waiting for the waters to recede. No overnight rescues weve been made aware of. Thats good news. Weve had a dozen folks in our shelters. That tells us that others go to family and friends to stay. Well be interview those folks in the shelters to see what we can do to help them. Sandra safety first. So many have been displaced from their homes. What are you telling them this morning about when they could possibly return and so many of that just want to get back to their homes but cant . Right now were expecting the water to stay and not recede for a couple of days. Of course, like you mentioned we have the heavy rainfall coming. So hopefully by the end of the week the water will recede and be out of the homes. Wed like for people to wait for the waters to go completely down before they go into the homes because we do not want anyone treading through the floodwaters because theyre dangerous. Not just because how high it is but whats in the water that can be a danger to them. Sandra how many homes have been affected by the flooding . Roughly a thousand. Once the water recedes we can go Damage Assessment and soft numbers by the end of the week and maybe hard numbers next week. Just give us some time to go in and do those Damage Assessments. Big thing were pushing here is our crisis track selfreporting tool. People can go online and report the damage to their homes through our website and were encouraging folks to do that. With that information well be able to update our flood maps as well and flood information. We havent been able to do that since 1983. We will use that information to update the flood maps so folks can be aware when this happens again well have a better idea who is going the flood. Sandra what can you tell us as far as resources you have and still need especially considering there is more rain in the forecast the next couple of days . Right now weve been informed there are no unmet needs. We have provided more than 150 thousand bags to our three counties that have been impacted. Water has been given. Shelter is still open. Again, no unmet needs. Everything is being taken care of from our end and our counties know if they need assistance to reach us to us and we can reach out to our partners to get supplies to them. Sandra i know youve been able to talk to so many folks struggling, worried and seeking safety. How would you describe the morale of those folks and their ability to find help right now . The morale right now may be a little defeated but this is mississippi. Weve gone through katrina and being tornadoes. We will rebuild and come back from this and help those folks affected to get back on their feet. We wont be defeated. Were going to have a positive outlook. Were going to bounce back from this like we bounced back from every other Natural Disaster that has hit mississippi. Sandra an Important Message to hear this morning. Our best to you and the communities struggling this morning. We wish you the best. Be safe. Thank you. Ed in the meantime a brawl breaking out in the middle of a Bernie Sanders rally and it was all caught on camera. What the two men were duking it out about. Sandra plus growing concerns about the Justice Departments intervention in the roger stone case. How a group of federal judges is now responding. Man, im thin. Hey hey you guys look like foodies. Would you like to try our trashy back ribs . Oh, that sounds great. Everything is locally harvested, farm to dumpster to table. Uhhh, what do you. What else do you got . stammering wwe have a melon rind stew. Comes with a pork and bean reduction. Yeah, were going to just do a lap and well come back. Okay. Well, well be here. Man why isnt this working . My mouth is watering. I think thats just your rabies flaring up. With geico, the savings keep on going. Just like this sequel. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more on Car Insurance. We got gristle pot pies applebees new irresistabowls now starting at 7. 99. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. Ed the morning the fallout continues over the roger stone case. The federal Judges Association holding an emergency meeting today after Justice Department officials intervened in the case and recommended a lighter sentence for the longtime trump associate. Lets bring in ian prior, a former Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the Justice Department. He joins us this morning. Thanks for coming in. Good morning. Do you think its faux outrage on the part of this association of judges or are there legitimate concerns that in their words they say there is a deepening crisis at the Justice Department . There is absolutely no crisis whatsoever. This is not only faux outrage but inappropriate. Judges are article iii. That checks the executive branch when a case is brought before the court. Not in press statements. Not in stories planted to kind of raise this as you said faux outrage and the bottom line is 7 to 9 years probably is too high for roger stone. Heroin dealers get less than that. I dont know why theyre such an outrage about this recommendation being lessened. The former doj officials disagree with you as you know. They put out this call for william barr to resign. They say political interference in the conduct of a criminal prosecution is against the departments core mission and sacred obligation to insure equal justice under the law. President trump and attorney general barr have flouted this fundamental principle. Didnt william barr give this group of former doj employees some fodder by speaking out himself and saying he didnt want the president tweeting or interfering . No. They were going to do that no matter what. Lets talk about the letter a little bit. It was put together by a group called protect our democracy. That sounds like a Great Organization but it is really just exobama officials funded by liberal donors that are trying to resist the Trump Administration with litigation and statements like that. Also were looking at 1,000, 2,000 former d. O. J. Employees. Thats Something Like. 001 of current and living former d. O. J. Employees. Third, everyone talks about its a bipartisan letter because they served under republican and democrat administrations. The majority are career employees, of course they served multiple administrations but not big name political appointees from republican administrations past on this. This is a resistance letter. I dont think anybody in the Justice Department takes it seriously. Ed i hear you. Part of my question was about william barr himself as attorney general. I get this group has liberal ties. We can put that on the table and you just did. William barr the attorney general himself gave that interview to abc news saying he didnt want interference from the president. Didnt that give these liberals fodder when the attorney general himself spoke out . When he talks about interference and having worked there and having seen the president s tweets on d. O. J. Matters it is not so much interference in how the department of justice actually does its job in prosecuting cases but in having to respond to these questions from the press. It is the constant firestorms that erupt based on these tweets that create issues at the department of justice really from a press standpoint and from an optics standpoint but it doesnt impact the daytoday work of the department. Ed to your point Lindsey Graham a key ally of the president is not happy about these attacks on the attorney general. Here he is on hannity last night. Bill barr stepped in and stopped what i thought was an unjust sentencing enhancement. For the people who want barr to resign, we know your agenda. Ed something the liberal group is the substance of the sentence for roger stone and whether it was equitable or no. Last point. Look, weve seen this multiple times where democrats and liberals lean in and say the department of justice did something improper and a short time later. Maybe this doesnt happen, but a short time later we learn more facts and all of a sudden everybody keeps quiet because they realize theyre wrong. We may learn more Going Forward. Ed the judge in the case has a Conference Call today. Well get more information as it breaks today. Thanks for your insight. Sandra President Trump and former president obama sparring over the booming u. S. Economy. Who can claim credit for it . Interim chair Donna Brazile is here to weigh in next.

The ninja foodi Pressure Cooker, the Pressure Cooker that crisps. To the inside here comes hamlin up the outside. Crash into the wall, into the air goes newman. Upside down. In a shower of sparks on his roof. Ryan newman comes across the line fourth. Sandra what a terrifying sight that was. Ryan newman in serious condition after crashing on the final lap of the daytona 500. He was leading the pack when his car was bumped from behind setting off a Chain Reaction that left his vehicle skidding across the finish line in flames. The crash happening 19 years to the day whenDale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the daytona 500. Rick is here with more on that. Today is actually the 19th anniversary of that death of Dale Earnhardt with happened right here ot this race. Since then theyve made so many races to the cars and stands to make safety paramount. When you see that crash that happened last night the fact he survived this crash is really something. I will tell you the race finish denny hamlin was a winner. Vef muted celebration eventually once he realized that potentially rian newman was in danger after that crash. He doesnt realize the crash happened as badly as it did behind him. Starts his traditional celebration and eventually was aware. We got a chance to talk to him afterwards and ask him his impression on his concern for ryan newman. These races get so crazy at the end you know that something is bound to happen but we dont like to see him upside down by any means especially getting hit while upside down. Were praying for him and his family and hopefully everything is okay with him. So there is some video i took. I was right on pit road as the end was happening. I had my camera out to take a video of the end of the race and then this crash ended up happening. For everyone seeing this crash everybody in the audience there was a silence that overtook everyone. So many fans remember when dale died 19 years ago. You see crashes at the end of every one of these races. The drivers out there trying to get into that last couple of inches they need to finish first and then Something Like this happens. Now it took about 2 hours 15 minutes before we got any word of ryan newmans condition when nascar tweeted out last night he is in serious conditions but injuries not life threatening. An answer to many peoples prayers. Then now it allows denny hamlin, everybody is still concerned for ryan newmans condition. No more word by the way. However, denny hamlin certainly the winner of this two years in a row, three out of the last five years that he has won this race which is an incredible accomplishment and talked to him about that accomplishment and listen to what he had to say. I never would have dreamed we would have this success in the race we would have. I never dreamed i would be in the race much less have three daytona 500 trophies. Theyre super special. Im really happy for my race team and 2020 started off this way. Great start to the season for him. Plenty to look forward to. Meanwhile all of nascar fans and a lot of the country is still sending their prayers and wishes to ryan newman. Sandra were hoping and praying for his recovery and hope to get an update on it soon. Thank you very much. Ed President Trump firing back after former president barack obama took a little swipe at him yesterday claiming creditor the economys growth by noting his signing of the 2009 stimulus package. President trump was quick to respond tweeting out. Did you hear the latest con job . President obama is trying to take credit for the economic boom. He had the weakest recovery since the great depression, massive quantitative easing. Now the best job numbers. Well hear from Donna Brazile former dnc interim chair and fox news contributor. I think the president should delete the tweet. When president Obama Took Office the country was hemorrhaging jobs over 700,000 a month. Unemployment is cut in half. What is it now 3. 5 . Ed historically low. 11 years of consecutive job growth. Lets thank president obama and President Trump. There is no reason to lie about a mans record when it is clear, it is on paper and we all know it. Ed was the lie coming from barack obama or President Trump. He said near the bottom of the worst recession i signed the recovery the longest streak of job creation in america history. President obama should get credit for what you just said in terms of pulling us out of the ditch. President trumps point over the last couple of years it is his cutting of taxes and regulation that has sustained that and pushed it forward. Thats a good way of ed, the way you just put it. That should be the tweet, not calling president obama a con man. Look, i recognize that President Trump doesnt have a high opinion of barack obama. I do. I think most americans have a high opinion of president barack obama. Lets not tell a falsehood. Under barack obama this country came back. The country was ailing and i think we should all understand that by helping wall street and helping the automobile industry, all the things that happened under his administration we should celebrate it. Guess what . We still have more work to do. Ed fox news poll january suggested this president , President Trump gets more credit now. Most responsible for the current economy. Trump republicans 42 in the fox poll. This is all registered voters, obama democrats 9 . They are talking about we want to lift more people up and President Trump is saying hang on an a second. Historically low unemployment and wages coming up. Of course, something for that. Look at that again obama things started improving under president obama. Donald trump inherited a great economy. Now he is trying to make it better. I have no problem with that. I have no problem with the fact that black unemployment continues to go down. The fact that more women are working today. All those things that the president highlighted during his state of the union, i said thank you, thank you, thank you. That was the end of my clapping, okay . We also have a largest deficit. We have to continue to worry about trade deals. There are still millions of our fellow citizens who live on the outskirts of hope and we need to find ways to bring them back into the circle of opportunity. I think thats the mission the president is trying to ed President Trump in the state of the union laid out his case to the American People on the trade deals you talk about, on jobs and the rest. The 2020 democrats have the stage and a big debate wednesday night. Your reaction as a former top democratic official. A new poll suggests Bernie Sanders is up to 31 nationally. Bloomberg big news now cracking into second place with 19 . And joe biden the establishment democrat candidate perhaps down to third place for the first time in a big National Poll like this at 15. What is your takeaway. If you look over the last six months everyone has had a socalled revival. It is time for joe biden to get a bounce and therefore he needs to really dig into nevada as well as South Carolina. Without the kind of support he needs over the next two weeks he will have a difficult time on super tuesday. Im not ready to call 911 or the coroner. I think will of these conversations that joe biden, whatever, that is not true. Joe biden still has a fighting chance to get back in the thick of things. You have know who i worry about . Elizabeth warren. Why is she stalling . I worry about her. Tom steyer, what happened . Ed bloomberg made the comments about stop and risk and controversial. What are your thoughts about him getting into second place . I dont have a problem with Michael Bloomberg. By the way, i know he is spending a lot of money. He has more money than half of civilization. Lets be honest. The point is that Michael Bloomberg has a record of accomplishment. He is a philanthropist and got a lot of things done in the great city. As a democrat, american and woman i have problems with his record, no question. Im not ready to embrace bloomberg. Im not ready to fall in love like i tell sandra all the time. Im just waiting. I have to push you back out there. Ed perfect coming out of valentines day. I will love you forever because weve been friends forever. Ed it is mutual. Thank you. Sandra brawl breaking out in the middle of a Bernie Sanders rally. As the 2020 candidate spoke to supporters in colorado on sunday. Friends of the two men quickly intervened to break it up. The scuffle reportedly started over a tshirt one of them was wearing. Sanders continued his speech without pausing at any point during that fight. The video speaks for itself there. Ed what is going on . How did he not stop the stage . Too far away from the stage . You cant always tell from the camera angles in the room. Thats for sure.

Were live on the story. This legal move by the boy scouts of america also known as the bsa is expected to halt the hundreds of lawsuits it is facing to give the longstanding Youth Organization time to restructure to handle the legal costs and payouts and also to give former boy scouts who were victimized time to come forward and pursue claims. The chapter 11 petition, 90 pages long and filed this morning in delaware lays out a plan to have a Victims Compensation trust and funding to continue its programs including the meetings, activities and scouting adventures. There are over 2 million youth participants nationwide in the boy scouts of america which faced sexual abuse accusations for decades. Some are handled in and out of court and some covered up or ignored by higher ups within the organization. The president and chief executive officer apologized to anyone who was harmed during their time scouting adding that they are outraged that there have been times when individuals took advantage of their programs to harm innocent children. The National Chair of the organization, jim turley, released an open letter to all current and former scouts which reads on behalf of myself and the entire scouting community im sorry, im devastated there were times in the past when we failed the very children we were supposed to protect. He went on to say i want you to know that we believe you. We believe in compensating you and we have programs in place to pay for counseling for you and your family by a provider of your choice. Reps have said scouting programs will continue during the bankruptcy process and many years to come. Important to note that local councils arent filing for bankruptcy. Theyre legally separate and distinct organizations. Sandra laura, thank you. Ed apple taking a big hit from the coronavirus crisis. The company saying it does not expect to meet its quarterly revenue forecast. Having a big impact on the markets this morning. Money man Charles Payne will weigh in next hour. Sandra the story youve been waiting for. A michigan woman not horsing around. She brings her Mini Service Horse everywhere she goes. When we say everywhere, we mean everywhere. A lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher doesnt get everything clean. I tell them, it may be your detergent. Thats why more dishwasher brands recommend cascade platinum. With the soaking, scrubbing and rinsing built right in. For sparklingclean dishes, the first time. Cascade platinum. Hey. You fell asleep with your sign again. You fell asleep with your sign again. No, i didnt. Okay. Switch to progressive and you can save hundreds. You know, like the sign says. Sandra the price is right is reportedly suspending taping for at least a week after the sudden death of drew careys ex fiance. The family therapist fell from a third floor balcony in her Hollywood Hills home after a struggle with an exboyfriend. He was arrested and charged with murder. Har wick and carey were engaged for four years before splitting in 2018. Ed giddy up and away. A michigan woman stunning passengers when she brought her Mini Service Horse on board for a first class flight. People probably did a double take. We talked to the woman from michigan and she says she went through all the tests and very carefully trained this horse to be an emotional support animal and it is legit. A totally legit service animal. A mini pony. It is fred. He got to fly first class for his First Service animal trip probably a lot of people doing a double take. It comes at a time when there has been a lot of talk with the federal transportation authority. They are talking about airlines having to deal with all the Service Animals. Air quotes there. Some people are trying to bring rabbits and peacocks and go fred actually house trained. He knows not to go to the bathroom on the plane. She followed the steps. You could see him there doing what Service Animals are supposed to do. Ed did fred need his own ticket . She bought the two seats in first class because she wanted him to have enough room. He had the ticket. Service animals when you do fly you dont need to pay for their ticket which is a lot of times you say the Transportation Security Administration is looking at this to put in limits. They want rules. There are rules in place for it. They have to be registered Service Animals and you dont have to pay for them to board the plane with you. People are taking advantage of that. Not all animals are Service Animals. My dog was an emotional support animal, something i was able to do online. I would have it would have required more doctors notes to have been able to bring him on an airplane. I used it as a reason to bring him to work with me when i worked weird hours so i didnt have to work by myself. He was emotionally keeping me okay working by myself. Ed the story about hackers are trying to take over satellite. A lot of satellites in space. Theyre trying to use them as weapons. In is a frightening story were hearing about hackers that will be able to access satellites. It has happened in the past where hackers were able to turn the solar panels at the sun and overwhelms the batteries and fried the electronics on a satellite. If hackers can access satellites they can take them out of orbit and turn the solar panels to fry the electric chronics and turn them and crash them into other satellites. Move them and direct them. Thats a dangerous thing. As you mentioned, there are thousands of satellites floating around that provide everything from High Definition television to the entire country to radio services, to gps and navigation and that kind of thing. Military uses. Taking Something Like that out could be problematic. Ed well be watching it. Thank you.

President trump now heading to california kicking off a swing through several western states where republicans are hoping he can help drive a red wave going into november. Im ed henry, good morning. Sandra happy tuesday morning, ed. How are you feeling . Strong. Sandra good. All right. Halfway through the week. Im sandra smith. The president visiting with excitement in the conservative party areas of california. Were seeing this amid rising tensions between state and federal officials. The fourday trip taking the president to arizona, nevada and colorado. Stealing some thunder from upcoming democratic primaries. Were live at the white house with blake. President trump will leave a white house a couple hours from now set to head out west to visit four states there over the next four days starting off with california today. There the president will host a couple different fundraisers one in beverly hills. Another one in Rancho Mirage hosted by the multibillionaire many times over the ceo of oracle. The president will be attending the meeting also relating to the planning of the 2028 olympics set to come back to the u. S. To los angeles. The olympics coming back to the u. S. , something that the president likes to take credit for. President trump i am and i was responsible for getting the olympics. The olympics is coming to los angeles. I was called by the mayor and he said could you do us a favor when i was president elect and he said could you do us . I worked hard and we got the olympics and we have the world cup coming into the United States. President trumps california trip puts him in the center of a state he often takes issue with, whether it be the homelessness crisis, sanctuary cities or fuel standards. He will also highlight the water access problems of concerns to the ag community when he heads to bakersfield tomorrow. After that the president will also have rallies in arizona and colorado. His trip, though, ends in nevada where he will likely tout criminal Justice Reform at a Graduation Ceremony for prisoners. Friday night the president tries to take some of the focus off Democrats Holding a Campaign Rally on the eve of the democratic caucuses. This morning the president weighing in with his thoughts on the state of the democratic race as Michael Bloomberg surges in the polls and qualifies for his first debate. The crooked dnc is working overtime to take the democratic nomination away from bernie again. Watch what happens to the super delegates in round two. A rigged convention. So thats the prediction from the president this morning. He will leave the white house here a couple hours from now, ed and sandra. Ed thank you. Sandra lets bring in americas newsroom ateam. Tom bevan, lisa boothe and David Burstein founder of run for america. We were chatting about Michael Bloomberg and his rise and potentially seeing him on the debate stage and what it might look like. I think he will look terrible. Ive been saying this for a couple weeks now. All weve seen from him is this manufactured version of Michael Bloomberg. Anyone at this table would look phenomenal if you had hundreds of millions of dollars spent on your behalf put together by pollsters and campaign consultants. Any time weve seen the unfiltered version of him which we have in recent days, whether the comments about farmers, whether talking about how three is this cohort of black and latino males who dont know how to behave in the workforce. Comments about stop and frisk. His challenge when you see the unfiltered version and not the manufactured version. Well see. The bad news for Michael Bloomberg is he will get it from left and right. He will have Bernie Sanders attacking him for trying to buy the election and get it from klobuchar and buttigieg on the right for some of his policies. But the good news for bloomberg it will be all about Michael Bloomberg. He will be the center of attention. If he manages to put himself well in the debate and it will be a boost. If he comes off badly we might see it lose steam. Sandra final thought. Im glad weve gotten to this case. A fight between bloomberg and sanders is the fight the Democratic Party deserves to have and waiting for it to happen this entire primary season. Two distinct, different visions where the country should go. I hope we get into that. Most of these people agree. Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders could not possibly be more different in terms of the vision for the party. Well see that and look, if bloomberg has a real opportunity here. Smart to skip the early primaries. Avoided a lot of scrutiny. Well see if he is now ready for it. Sandra Kevin Mccarthy last night made the point that california has gone too far left. The president sees an opportunity there to drive a red wave. Here is Kevin Mccarthy last night. The pendulum has swung too far. The democrat policies have made homelessness the number one issue. Our governor is only taking us further down. Sandra that was Kevin Mccarthy making the point. Governor schwarzenegger gave the president a lot of credit for what he has done so far. People know the president and i have our differences but thank you for sending secretary carson to our summit. This issue is bigger than all of us. Now is time for action. Tom. Well look, donald trump wont win california. Nobody is under any illusions. It is a bifurcated state and he is popular in the red parts of the state. The biggest news from his visit to california is the fundraiser by Larry Ellison of oracle. A big Silicon Valley tech titan who is stepping up and having this fundraiser for him. Taking heat for it but it does indicate that there are folks out there that are willing to come forward and support trump now that might not have been. Ed might be worried about sanders getting the democratic nomination and pushing the socialist programs, lisa, but also tom is right. The president probably not going to win california but a rally in nevada, which is still a state very much up for grabs. If you look at california it is not necessarily about the president ial election. You have seven seats that republicans lost in 2018 they would like to recapture heading to 2020. It is also about the congressional districts as well rallying the troops in those districts. Also in elections and campaigns it is important to paint that contrast. If you want to look at a state where liberal policies have just destroyed areas like los angeles, San Francisco. When you look at what is happening among the homeless populations, literally medieval diseases resurfacing. Look no further than those cities. If you want to look at things like sanctuary policies painting a contrast between lawlessness on issues like immigration, look at california. This is what democrats want to do to the country and this is what the president wants to do to the country. Law and order. I appreciate the president s interest in homelessness. Helpful if he would be doing not denigrating officials and the situation and spending more time trying to help. Im glad he sent secretary carson there. It is a Public Health crisis across the party. True under democrats and republicans across the country and more prevalent in cities but there are a lot of innovative ideas out there. People working on this in arizona and phoenix under a democratic man they figured out innovative things. I would be interested to see if the president s rhetoric answers up. Seems like he is more interested in criticizing democrat policies than what to do about them. Great for local officials if they would address the problem. Its their responsibility. They spent millions of dollars and not been able to fix the problem. A difficult problem to solve. They arent trying. Ed bolton is teeing things up. He talked about potential censorship of his book. I say things in the manuscript what the president said to me. I hope they become public someday. He tweets but i cant talk about it. How fair is that . But tom there is a lot of people pushing back at john bolton saying if youve got something to say that would have been relevant to the trial or suggesting he has other dirt potentially on the white house, why keep trying to tease and sell this book . If youve got something to say. You just had a fourm at duke university. Come on fox and talk about it. Right. John bolton is not coming off very well. He shouldnt have written the book. He was National Security advisor not too long ago. And here he is coming out with a book while the president is still in office, which is very unseemly to begin with. And then to your point, ed, he has really done this dance and these teases. Check chapter 14 or whatever. It is not a good look for him. Ed how do you see it . I think there is a problem of the Industrial Complex in washington and people writing books while in office and the resolving door. John bolton is a guy with bona fide conservative credentials, a total political operator. At some point he will spill whatever beans he has and i think ill just wait for that to happen and see what he actually has to say. Sandra well wait for that. Its interesting how fast everyone moved on from ukraine. Now its roger stone, its bill barr and people are looking at him and how he needs to be impeached and how its a big issue. They quickly moved on. It was never about ukraine. The left didnt care about ukraine which is why they didnt support President Trump concerning the fact he sent lethal aid. They didnt care about russia and why obama didnt do anything about russia until after trump won and then meddling was an issue. The left manufactures these crisis situations to use as a political weapon against the president. Sandra well finish now with bloomberg. We started there and go to a new poll. Monmouth university is showing that bloomberg is neckandneck with Bernie Sanders polling 22 each. Another poll. Thats a National Poll. Were looking at virginia democratic primary. Neckandneck in a key state. Virginia is a state that maybe sets up well for bloomberg. Weve seen him spend a lot of money in these super tuesday states. He has been coming up in the polls. It bodes well for him. Bloomberg at 19 . Bernie sanders at over 30 in a National Poll. He is expanding his appeal among democratic voters. A good sign for him. Democrats closer to pushing the panic button. Ed does it make lisa happy to see him at 31 . He is the toughest candidate for President Trump to face in a general election is my personal belief. I dont want him to be at the top of the ticket. It would be terrible for this country. I dont think the poll matters now. Even looking at New Hampshire. 32 the debate was an important factor in their decision making. Ill bring it back to the point i wanted to make before earlier in the segment is that the debates do matter and weve seen that and that was bidens undoing, voters got a close look at him as a real candidate. Ed klobuchar did well. Thats the challenge for bloomberg. A lot of people will be watching closely. People here in new york who served under bloomberg as mayor want to see him debate before they make a decision. It will be very important for him. Theyre spending a lot of time prepping for the debates and taking it very seriously. He will put his best foot forward. Sandra Newt Gingrich had a recommendation for the other candidates on stage how they should handle Mike Bloomberg when theyre next to him. The key for the other candidates is to recognize they dont collectively go after him and if they dont bring up all these things that are beginning to surface and make him answer for them, they will get drowned. The only person right now who could play with him is Bernie Sanders with a big enough base. Sandra theyre referencing comments on minorities, farmers, women. Should they throw it at him . Yeah, i think they should. To try to stop his rise in the polls. Klobuchar said i can compete with him on the debate stage, not the airwaves. The National Poll. Pete buttigieg actually lost five points versus the poll in december. Klobuchar was up five points. Klobuchar benefited from the last debate. Ed joe biden slipped to third. He used to be at the top of the polls. Whats going on . Im having deja vu from four years ago. Everybody was saying the republicans need to team up to stop trump. Its not how it works. Too much ego. All these candidates are too far into this and all want to be president themselves. Biden is in that camp. Someone who doesnt know what to do. He is trying to figure out a path forward and hoping something works in South Carolina. If he were anybody else other than the former Vice President he would have dropped out by now. All he has is South Carolina. If he doesnt win he will be out. This debate will be important for him. He just doesnt seem like a guy who really wants it that badly. In politics at everyone knows well, if you dont have that there are only so many things you can do. Sandra david, lisa and tom. I was just going to say looking at candidates in theory. Everyone thought he was a former Vice President. In theory he seems like a great candidate. You actually see him in practice on the debate stage and see him in front of voters and he is terrible. Bloomberg might have a similar challenge. In theory he looks great and when you see the real him it may change voters opinion. Sandra well see. Thank you. Ed stark warning amid historic flooding in mississippi. We as a state are not in the clear yet. Do not walk or drive through floodwaters. Turn around, dont drown. Ed big important advice with parts of the States Capital city under water. More rain in todays forecast. Well speak with governor reeves next hour. Sandra were live with jury deliberations in the metoo trial of Harvey Weinstein. Ed dont leave the state youre living in. Bring your neighboring state to you. What that means and where its actually happening next. As a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. At liberty butchumal cut. Liberty biberty cut. Well dub it. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Mortgage rates just dropped to near 50year lows.

Ed right now a quick look at some other top stories were following. Police in massachusetts investigating vandalism of the iconic plymouth rock, the site marking the landings of pilgrims 400 years ago. It was covered in graffiti. The site has been cleaned up. Sandra bezos, the multibillionaire saying he hopes to help scientists, activists, nongovernment organizations in any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world. Ed get a load of this. Wine drinkers time to celebrate. The price of wine expected to drop to its lowest in decades. Thanks in part to a surplus of california grapes and a decrease in demand. Sandra interesting, because millennials were on the record as being big wine drinkers, wine prices went up for a while and then entered the market the sparkly alcoholic beverages like white clawss a lot of come petitors and theyre drinking those. Sandra well watch that. If you drink wine, prices are down. Do you like white claw . Ed i do. I guess i shouldnt admit that. Sandra frustrated oregon conservatives who find their state too liberal are now looking to leave it. Without actually moving. The group called move oregons border for a greater idaho wants to radically shrink oregon by pushing its border with idaho to the west. How do they plan to pull it off . William la jeunesse is in the west coast bureau. Explain. They live in the same state but different worlds with conservatives in rural oregon wanting a divorce from the liberals in portland. Make part of it idaho. While youre saying it will never happen, first let me tell you why it could but why it likely wont. Rather than try a statewide initiative which would lose, those behind this effort are going county by county asking local elected officials for permission to put the question on the ballot. So far two counties have approved. Douglas and josephine. Now supporters need to gather the signatures and in some counties it is a few hundred up to a few thousand. Thats the easy part. Assuming they win locally the group still needs a approval of a majority of lawmakers in idaho, congress and u. S. Congress. Supporters say its not about politics but lifestyle and values. They see the culture in idaho more closely aliepd with theirs. Rural counties have become increasingly outraged by things that threaten our values. We try voting those legislators out of rural oregon. It is outnumbered and our voice is ignored. This is our last resort. So this urban rule divide exists in many areas, 37 out of 50 states have one Party Controlling both the governorship and state house. This tension exists elsewhere. Some states worse than others. Sandra interesting. Thank you. Ed thanks. Meanwhile were tracking the coronavirus outbreak after more than a dozen americans were evacuated back here from a quarantined cruise ship in japan. Sandra were watching that closely. How effective is that quarantine in curbing the spread of the virus. We have a lot of questions for the director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases. He will join us live. The quarantine process was not effective on that ship. There was transmission in a robust way. Sandra fox news alert on the coronavirus as the death toll and outbreak keeps rising topping 1800. Most in Mainland China where it all began in december. There are now more than 72,000 confirmed cases worldwide, 29 of them here in the United States. Ed that number virtually doubled yesterday alone when 14 patients arrived here in america after being evacuated from a cruise ship off japan. Several of them are considered highrisk cases. Theyre being treated at the university of nebraska Medical Center in omaha. Theyre all in separate rooms that have engineering controls and were just working through getting to know them a little bit more and learning about them and their families and working through communication things to get them connected up back with their families here in the u. S. Ed dr. Anthony fauci from the National Institute of health is standing by on the u. S. Response. First lets go to Claudia Cowan live in fairfield, california where a new quarantine has begun for another group of evacuees. A lot happening. 171 americans who are grad to be off that toxic cruise ship in japan but not out of the woods yet. They all have thermometers and masks on hand. They have to take their temperature here at least twice a day. Thats mandatory. Meantime a dozen of those evacuees who have contracted the coronavirus are said to be doing okay at the university of nebraska Medical Center. Theyre not showing symptoms. One man who needed a higher level of care was transferred to a biocontainment facility. Theyre in quarantine at a National Guard Training Base and 150 others were flown to Lackland Air Force base in texas. Several passengers decided to stay in japan on that ship. Expose ourselves to the people who had the virus. The information i dont think we adequately were getting is why the United States decided to switch its position on where was the best place to be. He may not be there much longer. Japans Health Minister said some passengers start to disembark tomorrow and everyone off the ship by friday. Another 88 people on board that diamond princess cruise ship have contracted the virus bringing the total number to 542. Some Health Officials are calling the quarantine a tragic failure. The daily number of new cases appears to be slowing down but they are still high. At least 72,000 cases worldwide. More than 1800 deaths. The vast majority in Mainland China. Back at Travis Air Force base, good news for those first group of americans who were evacuated from wuhan, china, earlier this month. Their twoweek quarantine ends today. Theyll be able to leave this military base and finally head home. Ed and sandra, back to you. Ed thank you. More on all this lets bring in dr. Fauci the director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of health and tracking the coronavirus from the beginning. Thank you for coming in. Dr. Fauci. A lot to get to. One piece in terms of some of the americans that came home from the cruise ship off the coast of japan are reporting to the New York Times suggesting some of those americans didnt know some of their fellow passenger tested positive for the coronavirus until they got onto the airplanes to come home to america and saw people separated out with sheets and other things. Was that a big mistake to not let people know and potentially expose more people . No, i think it was not a mistake but things were moving very quickly. When the individuals were boarded on the bus to go onto the plane, it was at that point that their tests came back positive. They really didnt know about that until they were getting ready to go on the plane. And when they did, what they did they segregated those people in a confined place that would protect them from spreading it to other people on the plane. So it was really a fastmoving scenario. It was something that they just learned about literally as they were getting ready to go on the plane. Sandra dr. Fauci, a big question now for many is the risk of this spreading here at home in the United States. There is obviously the possibility that some americans traveled to this area in china and returned home to various u. S. Cities that are not on our radar. They could be carrying the disease and they could spread it. How would you assess the risk to americans right now of contracting this disease . Well, the risk clearly is relatively low right now. But given how this is such a dynamic situation globally, that risk could change. Were telling our american citizens to not be fearful, to not be afraid but to keep an eye on it. We in the Public Health arena are taking this very, very seriously but as you mentioned correctly, the people in this country that were aware of being infected have been identified, theyve been isolated and their contacts have been traced. You make a good point. Its possible some people have slipped into the country under the radar screen. And for that reason the cdc is doing some sentinel surveillance by in five cities taking a look at people who present with flulike symptoms but are negative for the flu to see if they might, in fact, be positive for the coronavirus. That will give us a better idea of whether or not there are any cases around that we have not identified or noticed. Ed doctor, important to note as well that far more people have died from the seasonal flu than from the coronavirus. On the other hand we wake up to reports this morning suggesting that the coronavirus is far more deadly. What is it, 20 times more deadly than the common flu . What does that mean . Well, you know, we have to be careful about making those kind of comparisons because, you know, influenza in the United States, 20,000 people are dead. Hundreds of hospitals of hospitalizations. Although the mortality is. 1, the fact is its very widespread. The coronavirus has a mortality of about 2 , 2. 3 . The issue with this is that there are very likely many people who are either without symptoms or minimally symptomatic which means that the denominator for the determination of the mortality is probably much larger. So although the mortality is 2 plus percent, in reality its likely much less than that. The critical issue is to prevent this from becoming truly a Global Pandemic because then we will have a problem. Sandra ill ask you the question i know that you have gone on the record saying your office has been inundated with phone calls and emails. People worried about the spread of this disease and how to prevent their families from contracting it if it is at home. Wearing facemasks. Should anybody, everybody or anybody at high risk wear fast masks . There is no reason for anyone in the country for anyone to walk around with a facemask to protect themselves from coronavirus. In general sandra wash hands . Absolutely. You should be doing it anyway for the flu. Right now the best way to protect yourself against coronavirus is to do the Public Health things that you would do for the flu. Wash your hands, avoid crowded places where people are coughing and sneezing. Simple things. Sandra you said this is part of the phone calls and emails you get at your office. People concerned about all the products we buy from china. Many get delivered on amazon and other website. Any reason to concern that the virus can spread in that way . There is no reason at all to think thats the case. When you just open up something that has made in china i wouldnt be worried about it. Ed lastly the World Health Organization director general talked about there needs to be more urgency in terms of funding. He said we have a window of opportunity now, we need resources now. I thought a couple weeks ago there was a lot of talk about this worldwide effort to get the funding, to get the resources. Has that not happened . What needs to happen now . We do. The countries that are committed to funding who really need to step up to the plate and do that. Who is dealing with a crisis and need more funding. The statements that came out of there were correct. Ed separating fact and fiction today. Sandra answering all of our questions, thank you. Wall street slamming walmart this morning.

Fourth quarter earnings, this morning. It was not all doom and gloom. Jackie deangelis is reporting for the fox business network. Live on the floor of the new york stock exchange. What did this report tell us . Good morning to you. It was a miss on earnings. Typically wall street doesnt like it. Walmart stocks were trading higher. The new year started well despite the fact that holiday sales were a little slow and there was weak demand for things like toys, apparel and video games. Also walmart added to its grocery sales. A lot of people find that very popular. The company said it was the best sales it had seen in 10 years. Raised its Cash Dividend 4 cents for the next fiscal year. The problem could be on the horizon. The outlook is a little weak. They said ecommerce growth of 35 was strong but that could deteriorate a little bit. Something we have to watch along with coronavirus, guys. Sandra on the floor of the new york stock exchange. Bells ringing throughout the morning. Thank you. Charles payne. Ed host of making money. The walmart number missed on the top line. How interesting it is. Imagine if a company said we did they missed by a small fraction. They had their own issues with respect to retail in general. There were six fewer shopping days. They knew it would be sluggish compared to last year. You want more people coming in doing transactions and charge them more money. Sandra is it telling of the broader cone me in the Fourth Quarter . Robust christmas sales. Record Credit Card Debt racked up by consumers. 141 billion in three months is impressive in a shorter Holiday Shopping period. When we talk about earnings we compare companys numbers versus their numbers, as far as the broader picture the reason the stock has been up most of the session. I havent looked in the last half hour, is because wall street thinks everything will be okay. It wasnt a great Earnings Report but it wasnt a bad Earnings Report, either. Management that coronavirus while they dont know the impact has not influenced their guidance whatsoever. Thats not a factor with walmart. Ed apple reports coronavirus has had an impact. They shut down some stores temporarily in china. If you read they release they explain. One is on supply. When you make most of your products in china and these things happen where you have ghost cities, people cant go to work not only wuhan but around the entire country. You shut down your retail stores. On one side you dont have the product. You start to run out of product to sell. The other side they close all their stores. They started to open them up this week. Traffic is slow. More businesses on thursday all the casinos will open up. Well see over the next week or so how many people outside of china outside of wuhan. When you shut down your business you have lower sales. Interesting they didnt lower their earnings estimate. They lowered their guidance for revenue. I dont sell apple stock today. I think the demand will be out there. When they have the supply people who couldnt buy an iphone today. Sandra throughout the big board the watch. 165point drop right now. 29,200. Are you still bullish . The biggest news in that report is manufacturing out of new york state area came in better than anticipated. Thats one of the areas one report does not make a trend but an area i want to see improve. Im banking on housing. The consumer, rebirth in housing and a return to manufacturing. Ed back and forth yesterday on president s day between president obama and trump on who is responsible. That was a good back and forth. Here is the thing. On one hand i dont know if you really want as a democrat to say hey, this is obamas economy because it is happening under significantly lower tax rates, significantly fewer regulations. If you want to claim it, these are the policies you have to claim along with it. Its sort of a tough thing to do. Obviously two different economies. The average person you have to be an economist to know when you go outside now and work right now you feel a lot different than did you a few years ago. You feel more confident about your job. Wages are going up and friends and family are getting jobs maybe they didnt have before. You know its happening. Anecdotal and proof positive. Sandra Charles Payne, thank you.

A blow to the Metoo Movement if they dont get there. Alex is back. Good morning. Right now the judge is talking to the jury giving them the instruction, the law of what they need to know before they go into that deliberation room. The fate is handed over to them. We saw Harvey Weinstein arrived in good spirits. Talked to the media saying he feels good today. This case sent shock waves around the nation at the start of the Metoo Movement. 12 yorkers. He faces predator assault. The other from aspiring actor jessicaman who claimed weinstein raped her in a Manhattan Hotel room and criminal sexual act in the first degree as well as rape in the first and third degree. Minimum sentence on some of those charges is at least 10 years in prison. If found guilty on just one or two the 67yearold could spend the rest of his life behaoend bars. One of the victims lawyers calling this a landmark case. Proud of this prosecution. No matter what the result is in this case, thats for the jury to decide. Weinsteins defense remains confident about its case throughout the trial. During closing arguments the lawyers telling the jury the prosecution failed to prove its point beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a case that should be about evidence, not about emotion. It shouldnt be about feelings and not a popularity contest. In this case the evidence was all on our side. There is no indication at this point as to how long the jury could deliberate. We need to keep in mind they do have to come to a consensus so they do not become a hung jury. Regardless of what they decide here in new york, Harvey Weinstein also faces more charges coming up in a Sexual Assault case in california. Ed and sandra. Ed thank you, alex. In the meantime former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg set to make his debut on the democratic debate stage tomorrow night in las vegas.

Fox news alert as we await new information on the condition of nascar driver ryan newman after the horrific crash at the daytona 500. It crossed the finish line in flames. All i could see was fuel leaking down onto a small fire and i just i was screaming just, you know, i hope they can get down there to him. It looked terrible and was terrible. The car was on fire and just rolling and crashing and it wasnt good. Wasnt good at all. Ed President Trump tweeting praying for ryan newman a great and brave nascar driver. Denny hamlin won the race. Newman is in serious condition but his injuries are not life threatening. More on this story later in the hour. Now to another alert on the coronavirus outbreak. Fears now it could be 20 times for deadly than the flu as new cases spread around the world and here at home in america. Im ed henry. Sandra good morning, im sandra smith. More than 72,000 people infected globally with 88 more cases found on the quarantine cruise ship near tokyo. Dr. Anthony fauci was on our show earlier and said this. The risk clearly is relatively low right now. But given how this is such a dynamic situation globally, that risk should could change. So were telling our american citizens to not be fearful, to not be afraid but to keep an eye out on it. We in the Public Health arena are taking this very, very seriously. Ed medical experts trying to track down passengers from a cruise ship that had been turned away by several countries but docked last week in cambodia releasing some of the passengers shortly after one of the passengers tested positive for coronavirus. Sandra were live with more on that part of the story. What are we learning . The issue surrounding that cambodia cruise ship shows just how dangerous a challenge this coronavirus can be. An 83yearold American Woman was one of 100 who left the ship in cambodia a few days ago. Officials thought everyone was fine but later she was found to have the virus. Now medical experts are tracking down everyone who has had contact with her as well as testing all including americans who are still on the ship. Now meanwhile that cruise ship in japan is also turning into quite a hot spot. A quarantine is set to be lifted tomorrow but as noted, there are 88 new cases aboard that ship and that brings to over 500 the number of people who have been infected. That includes 44 americans who are now hospitalized in japan. Another 14 americans from that ship are infected and are in hospitals in the states including omaha, nebraska, more than 300 americans were airlifted back to the u. S. Yesterday including on board those who were infected. Finally, more tough news from the epicenter of the disease, the director of one of the main hospitals in the city of wuhan contracted the virus and has died. More than 1700 doctors and nurses have either died or have gotten ill from this disease. If it is any consolation, guys, the number of daily new cases and daily new deaths is down a bit today. It has been going down for the last couple days. But it is still too high. Back to you. Sandra thats a lot to take in. Greg palkot. Thank you. Ed meanwhile president ial candidate Mike Bloomberg qualifying for tomorrow nights democratic debate in las vegas. A new poll showing the billionaire making the cut with 19 . Our panel now live, matt schlapp former white house political director, doug schoen is a polster for the bloomberg campaign. Thanks for both being here. Doug, your campaign is the campaign of the moment perhaps. React to the idea that Michael Bloomberg, who started out by saying he was going to skip the early states. A lot of people questioned that strategy, is now vaulting into second place . Clearly the decision that the mayor made to start late and only compete on super tuesday when 40odd of the delegates are being a good and reasonable one. Voters have a right to expect to hear from the mayor as they heard in his commercials and he will be on the stage tomorrow night in nevada and i fully expect a vigorous back and forth between the mayor and other contestants. Ed matt, react to the vigorous back and forth. Look at the numbers, Bernie Sanders 31 , bloomberg 19, biden 15, warren 12, klobuchar 9. There is a lot to be brought up for Michael Bloomberg to deal with. What do you expect to happen on the debate stage, matt . I saw your interview with one of his spokes people. What he has to be able to do i dont want to give doug advice. He has a lot of experience. He has to stand on the stage and take it and show that he can take it and he has to have what are seen as reasonable answers. I think in the interview you had, ed, i dont think the spokesman did that great a job. Reasonable answers about being too aggressive so i think its good he will join the stage. I dont worry but im dubious of the National Campaign polls. We dont nominate president s nor do we elect president s according to National Polls. It is how you do in the states. The real question as doug says 40 of the delegates up on super tuesday. Who gets the lions share on the delegates. You have to win states to get the nomination. Ed i want you to react to that, doug and the idea of what kind of preparation is going on inside the bloomberg campaign. We keep hearing his aides are working big time behind the scenes to get him ready. A lot of stories saying he wasnt such a great debater as mayor of new york city. Your thoughts. A couple of things. We had a virginia poll out today showing the mayor tied with Bernie Sanders. Last week there was an arkansas poll showing that the mayor was ahead. A florida poll showing the mayor was ahead. Were doing pretty well state by state. That being said, were concentrating on the super tuesday states. Matt is exactly right. Look, the mayor has debated i guess in three prior campaigns. He has acquitted himself well. He certainly is practicing. But he knows his record. He knows the issues. Put out the most detailed position papers of any candidate. I think the mayor will do quite well tomorrow night and probably surprise some of the naysayers. Ed lets add Bernie Sanders to this. The president weighed in with a tweet saying the crooked dnc is working overtime to take the democrat nomination away from bernie again. Watch what happens to the super delegates in round two. The president jumping ahead in the process. I want to give Bernie Sanders a fair word. He had a couple of big rallies one in nevada and washington he is Getting Energy on the left. Here is what he said at a rally. I am not going to cut medicare and medicaid and social security. The budget calls for massive mr. Trump, you are a liar, you are a fraud, and the American People are not going to reelect you. [cheering and applause] ed he is coming after the president directly. Bernie sanders in the new poll is at 31 nationally. Your reaction. First of all the dnc d. C. Democrats, elite democrats, establishment d. C. In new york are panicked that Bernie Sanders is the Love Interest of democratic voters in these states. He clearly is the momentum has gone to bernie. Those biden voters have switched more to bernie than they have to bloomberg. I give senator sanders credit. He got screwed last time according to Donna Brazile in her own book. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and dnc leadership worked to give Hillary Clinton every advantage. Theyll change any rule they can. They will change any dynamic they can to try to deny Bernie Sanders this nomination. And i think if they do that this time two times in a row, ed. If he is leading in the polls and leading into delegates go into the convention they wont be able to pull the coalition back today. Ed weigh in on that and that bloomberg was on social media talking about male supporters of Bernie Sanders that can get aggressive on social media and other places. And i believe that Bernie Sanders responded with a picture of Michael Bloomberg playing golf with President Trump years ago and said here is your bro calling bloomberg out for once being friends with the president. How do you react to that . Anyone who has seen the mayors commercial know any friendship between bloomberg and trump is long since in the past. The mayor has driven the message against President Trump very strongly. Second, im worried when i see the footage of violence at sanders rallies, the attacks, the virulent attacks online. We need to come together as a party, whoever the nominee is. I certainly hope its mayor bloomberg. I think he is the strongest candidate. A divided Democratic Party. Matt schlapp would agree a divided Democratic Party has no chance to beat donald trump. Ed cnn a top advisor to Bernie Sanders was asked look, Michael Bloomberg will still poor a lot of money to help the democratic nominee. Sanders camp said we dont want bloombergs money. What is said in february is not often what is said in july. Im discouraged. That was john weaver saying that. Im discouraged when people are pushing away supporters of a broad cause and a broad set of values that needs to be embraced. We need to be inclusive, not exclusive. And it saddens me john would react that way. Ed jeff weaver. I think we need unity and i think this real question about Michael Bloombergs policy positions when he was mayor on stop and frisk, some of these disgusting comments encouraging or forcing a woman who worked for him to get an abortion. Where violence is in society juxtaposes nicely where donald trump is with the africanamerican. He has been leading the way on criminal Justice Reform. Unemployment rates are at the lowest weve seen in history. I like this conversation between Michael Bloomberg and donald trump. I think africanamericans are the ultimate swing vote in this election and i think more than half will be for donald trump. Ed mayor bloomberg denied he made that comment about an abortion. One would suspect it will come up in the debate along with a bunch the woman continues to make the claim he said it. Donald trump supports and has supported stop and frisk.

Anyone with information is now asked to contact the Police Tip Line at the number there on your screen. Sandra a bill to ban the sale of assaultstyle weapons dies in senate committee. Four democrats voting against the measure backed by governor northam. Good morning to you, senator, thank you for being here. Why did it get shelved . Sandra it was interesting. We went into the weekend. Bloomberg was coming to town. Spirits were not high. He left town and we killed the bill monday. Were much happier in virginia. The bill itself did not do what it purported to do. It made legal citizens who had weapons like handguns criminals after one year. So that is not good policy and we were glad it died. Sandra we have seen the gun rights protestors out in full force and reaction to all of this. But i ask you this in the context of throw it up on the screen here. The dark history of Mass Shootings in the state of virginia and why emotions are so high when it comes to this gun debate happening in the state. The Virginia Tech campus, 2007, 33 killed. 23 injured. Pentagon of course, roanoke, congressional baseball practice in alexandria, four injured there including Steve Scalise and Virginia Beach 13 dead, five injured. What does this mean for the gun debate Going Forward in your state . It is certainly not over. This is only one piece of it. We also have bills moving through the process that make the use of firearm in commission of other felonies like robbery the penalties will be less. We will continue to have this debate as we go through the summer and certainly this bill, even though we stopped it for this legislative session, im confident will be back next legislative session and well continue fighting to protect lawabiding citizens constitutional rights. We also need to make sure that we are giving Law Enforcement the tools to put criminals in jail who use illegal guns. Sandra i go back to the protests leading up to this in your state. The democratic senator, how the protests eventually led to his vote. Yes, it makes a difference. We did have a rally in richmond on january 20th and a lot of folks that were at the rally came and visited me in my office. One of the things where we could meet halfway i said look, this bill that deals with confiscating weapons or making somebody a felon when they legally purchased a weapon, i dont support that. Sandra say that in the context of many who said this fight is not over. Chris brown, the vote. Were disappointed in the vote but undeterred. Large capacity magazines and other accessories have no place in our communities. Just gives you a sense of where this fight may go next. What do you expect . I think youre right. It is not over. There are certainly people that feel very passionately. The bill itself did a lot more than what it is purported to do. It took people the majority of handguns and made them illegal, even the magazines that they took out of the handguns would still be illegal. It was more of an effort to prevent lawabiding citizens from having almost any type of firearm, including a handgun. We will have the debate and you certainly saw that virginians came to the capitol and expressed their views why we need to protect their rights. They are being heard and im happy about that. Sandra the issue will be studied at length on both sides and the debate will surely continue. Appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. Ed another fox news alert.

Ed Michael Bloomberg set to face his 2020 rivals on the same stage for the first time tomorrow night after qualifying for the debate in las vegas amidst a wave of controversy with his Police Departments use of stop and frisk when he was mayor in new york. His predecessor rudy giuliani. You did stop and frisk for eight years. He did it for 12. How will he try to run away from this now . I dont know how he runs away from it. He was a passionate supporter of it. He even asked me to write a letter, amicus brief in support of it. We did it twice. I did it but had some reluctance. He changed the program. The program that the three people and i developed was a more careful program. I guess the easiest way to describe it is in 2001 the Justice Department wanted to bring suit against us for violating civil rights. I asked for a meeting with janet reno and eric holder and i talked them out of bringing the suit. I showed them our statistics were perfect. That we were following not race, we were following complaints. In other words, why did we search 70 africanamerican males . We did it because 75 of our complaints were of africanamerican males who committed violent crimes. So who are we supposed to go look for . In other words, the Africanamerican Community was selecting for us who to go look for. Ed you showed them statistics at the clinton Justice Department you are saying that crime was coming down and crime was coming down and we kept it carefully limited to 95 to 100,000. Thats what we could manage. What they lost sight of, i think, because they arent lawyers. Ed bloomberg took over and took it from 100,000. 600,000 stops as opposed to 100,000 stops. You just cant make a stop. Which is what it became. We understood the law. The law is kerry versus United States saying if a Police Officer has reasonable suspicion that you are committing a crime. He sees something that looks like narcotics. He think he sees it. He is allowed to stop. Cant arrest you yet. Question you. In the process of the questioning, if he develops any more suspicion he can frisk you in order to protect himself. Really it should be described as stop, question, frisk. And you have to memorialize that. In other words, you have to write that out and when the day comes how many bad ones did you have . If you have a lot of blank paper and if theyre doing 600,000 you have a lot of blank paper. Ed he has come under fire for comments on race where he suggested we were mostly in minority neighborhoods because thats where the crime was but a moment ago you were saying the High Percentage was africanamerican males. How do you balance that . You should not put Police Officers in places where there is no crime. Otherwise you wont have Police Officers in the places there are crime. My use of stop, question, frisk was completely determined by it was statistical. If there were 50 complaints against whites that day, then the Police Officers would go look for whites. I say the statistical thing is stupid. If you go by statistics you want to be fair, 53 of the time we should search women because they make up 53 of the population. Ed you wanted to follow crime and stamp it out. It wasnt racist. They were being selfselected. Most of the people that told us the race of the suspected criminal was black were black people because it is about 80 black you have to prove these things and know what you are doing. Ed thank you. By the end of the week the water will recede and be out of the homes. We want people to wait for the waters to go completely down before they go into the homes. We do not want anyone treading through the floodwaters because of how dangerous they are. Not just how high the water is its what in the water that can be a big danger to them. Sandra a warning earlier on americas newsroom as heavy rains bring major flooding to the pearl river in jackson, mississippi. It forced hundreds from flooded neighborhoods. Joining us now is mississippi governor tate reeves. We appreciate your time this morning, governor. Good morning. How are the people there doing this morning . Well, were working very hard to move into the next phase. We obviously saw a crest of the pearl river early yesterday morning of almost 37 feet, which makes that crest the third highest in our history. The highest since 1983. Our original projections that were nearly 3,000 structures in the counties would be affected, and so now we are seeing at least in central mississippi the river has crested and it is slowly receding. It is down about a half a foot over the last 24 hours. Now were beginning to see the water come out of the banks down river and well deal with flooding probably in some counties in south mississippi. Sandra you see the reports coming from there. People on the ground talking about a helpless feeling saying there is nothing that they can do about the situation theyre in right now. Not being able to get back to their homes. What sources do you have and what more do you need, governor . There is no doubt we m mississippi have dealt with many Natural Disasters hurricanes and tornadoes. Rising water with floods, saturday and sunday was beautiful weather in mississippi. We had sunny skies, the highs were in the mid to upper 50s. The water was rising. There is have little you can do to stop it. We have had approximately 16 search and rescues that tells me people are heeding our advice to please get out. Now our advice to our fellow people in mississippi is please dont tread back in the water. As the water recedes it will move quickly and so it continues to be dangerous. People want to get in their homes and start doing everything they can to recover and we want to help them do that but please be careful over the next day or two as these waters recede and well be able to provide assistance as we progress through the process. Sandra we know there is more rain coming in the next couple days. What are you doing now as far as additional evacuations and getting people out of their homes that decided to try to wait it out . Well, that is our biggest challenge that is before us is were anticipating rain to begin again here in the next probably couple of hours in central mississippi. Right now weve been in close contact with the National Weather service and we appreciate their partnership. Right now were projecting 1 to 2 inches of rain over the next 24 to 36 hours. As you get to thursday we project additional 1 2 to 1 inch of rain. If that holds, then we dont anticipate the pearl river to rise any further than its already been. We actually anticipate it will continue to decline over the next two to three days if those rain projections hold. If, however, the rain in central mississippi and northeast of here were to exceed three inches of rain it could lead to additional flooding in central mississippi. The current challenge that we face is flooding down river in south mississippi and counties like marion and lawrence, potentially in pearl river and Hancock County in far south mississippi. The water is receding in central mississippi so we were trying to remind everyone do not go into your home until the water is completely gone because the water has been outside the banks for a number of days. It is con taminated it is not something you need to be wading through. Please continue to heed our call to stay out of the water. Sandra its a very important warning. So many people just want to get back into their homes and its still a very dangerous situation. Ill let you go, governor. Is there an update to the number of homes affected . Is it in excess of 1,000 now . We believe its certainly going to be in excess of 1,000. Our original projections we would see 3,000 structures damaged and actually take on water. The original projections were we would congress at 38 feet. We crested around 37 feet. We hope that number comes down a little bit but the next phase of this for us in central mississippi while were dealing with flooding down water the next phase in central mississippi is the recovery phase where we can do Damage Assessments. Work with federal partners to insure the resources are available both from a Public Infrastructure standpoint but resources are available from an individual assistance standpoint to help people get back in their homes as quickly as possible. Sandra we really appreciate your time this morning. Our best to you and the people of your state. Thank you for having me on. Keep praying for us. Ed this fox news alert prayers also after this fiery crash at the daytona 500. We await an update on the condition of nascar driver ryan newman and weve learned more about the accident.

A former mayoral candidate and her 16yearold daughter who are about to be arraigned in a rather bizarre case accused of trying to kidnap a newborn baby while posing as baby photographers. Joining us now is nancy grace. Tell us the story first. Its incredible episcopal tloi moms like myself that have actually had a father daughter photographer come into our home to take pictures. This is what happened. This mom a 38yearold parker with his 16yearold daughter go on facebook and they advertise to thousands of moms let me remind you theyre targeting specific moms. Moms that need money, single moms. They are offering free they put it in all caps free photography session for you and your baby. Theyre specifically targeting babies 14 days and younger. They even ask moms to show us your 37week baby bump. Send us pictures. They are basically baby shopping. Theyre on amazon. They are baby shopping for babies. Then once they get a bite they go to the home, they come in, who is to fear a mom and daughter . They start taking photographs. Many victims have stated. There is more than one victim not to this extreme, however. That the mom, the mayoral candidate wipes off everything she touches. Opened the front door with her sleeve. She goes up to the baby and starts taking selfies of her with the baby and often asks is dad still in the picture . She is trying to find a vulnerable mom that needs free photography services. Sandra Authorities Say she eventually gave the new mother a cupcake, drugged her. She ended up vomiting and feeling dizzy. She was aware enough, however, to grab a phone and call 911. Parker and her daughter was arrested from their home 40 miles south of seattle. Meanwhile other new mothers who say wait, we let them in our home. Victoria morris talks about her experience. I sent her a message and it was like i had the baby, when did you want to come out and i woke up again around 6 00 in the morning and went to facebook and saw she had been arrested. He broke down and just started trying and panicking. Sandra horrifying. Its what we call being rufeed. She tells another mom saying my daughter and i run a back re and gives her a homemade cupcake thats loaded with some type of medication. I think ghb, because the mom immediately felt disoriented, dizzy, nauseous. She called 911 and kick the woman out. She finds out this woman and her 16yearold daughter had stolen her house key. She was so afraid the sheriffs came and put in new keys for her. So afraid they were going to come back and take her baby. Sandra its a horrible story and not over yet. Parker has been charged with attempted kidnapping and assault. The alleged victim has been released from the hospital. Well continue to follow the story. Well have you back again soon, nancy grace, thank you. Ed heartstopping crash in the final lap of the daytona 500. Ryan newman flipping and skidding across the finish line in flames.
