Not the optics desired ahead of the vote as more than onefifth of the nation as it appears trump and people around him take aim at journalists. This as a new National Poll shows trump expanding his lead over senators marco rubio and ted cruz. Trump with 49 , rubio with 16, cruz with 15 . By the way, ted cruz is expected at any moment at a rally in san antonio in his home state of texas. In this room we may get him in front of a camera, he expects a very good super tuesday, and hell need it. Well listen for anything else he has to say. The apple versus the fbi fight isnt going away, in fact, its ramping up. Congress expected to cut to the core of apples argument tomorrow when fbi director james comey tangles with apples top attorney on capitol hill. One of the cyber communitys most prominent experts with me live. Fireeye president kevin mandia shares his view on what he says is the right solution to this fight over whether apple should crack open a dead terrorists phone. On the leap day, ooh, now were down 84 points for the dow. The markets were leaping into the green, but now not so much. Were lining up traders to ask should we beware the eyes ides of march. Plus, Warren Buffett says the economy is way better than what the politicians say. Charlie gasparino on that. Jeff flock telling you why youre playing high prices for pork. Were less than an hour to the closing bell, lets start the countdown. Liz and here we go. 58 minutes left for the last trading session of the month, and at this hour we can tell you that the dow and the s p even with the red on the screen with the nasdaq down about 18 points. Maybe on track to close out february to the upside. But you look at the nasdaq, its struggling as the index is set to close lower for the Third Straight month in a row. That hasnt happened since september of 2011. Interestingly enough, two of the nasdaqs biggest winners in 2015, netflix which rallied 134 in 2015 and amazon which jumped 117 president , are both down more than 7 this year. Its a mixed picture right now today for those names. But lets take a look at oil because that seems to be always the driver here. Oil settled lower for the fourth straight month in a row, but prices jumped 3 after china moved to boost its slowing economy. What they did was they added stipstimulus by allowing banks to lower their rainy day reserve requirements, and saudi arabia pledging to work with the other crude producers to, quote, limit market volatility. Im here to tell you that basically means nothing. Oil did close higher by about 3 , you can see it trading at 33. 75 per barrel. Taking a big hit today and over the last year, Lumber Liquidators falling another threequarters of a percent for ll. Its not so much what its doing to today. This is a new low amid battered sales for ham nate flooring that was made in china, sold by the chain. The annual, i guess the annual high of the stock was a 52, its at 1 is. 01 right now 11. 01 right now. Lets get to some breaking news right now. President ial candidate senator ted cruz is expected to speak any minute at a rally in the san antonio shrine auditorium. Cruz is staying close to his home state of texas ahead of super tuesday. He is sure to address the latest trump taunts and tumbles. Were going to listen closely for anything new on that. Meanwhile, to trump, he is still fighting to clean up controversy. A raciallycharged brouhaha that began with this man, the former ku klux klan grand wizard, david duke, has endorsed trump. The billionaire candidate struggled and fumbled with his initial reaction to that report. Watch. I dont know anything about david duke, okay . I dont know anything about what youre even talking about with White Supremacy or white supremacists, so i dont know. I mean, i dont know did he endorse me or whats going on. I have to look at the group. I mean, i dont know what group youre talking about. You wouldnt want me to condemn a group that i know nothing about. Liz trump, who is a candidate who claims to have, quote, the best memory, now blaming, quote, a bad earpiece for his comments, saying he couldnt really hear what he was being asked. He certainly could hear the name david duke and the words White Supremacy. Senator rubio wasting no time hammering trump for failing to condemn the klan. Hes unelectable now. He refused to criticize the ku klux klan. Hes now been given three interviews. This morning on the today show he blamed it on a bad earpiece, that he couldnt hear the question. I dont care how bad it is, ku klux klan comes through pretty clearly. Liz this coming the day before the super tuesday showdown. 595 delegates up for grabs. Lets get to fox business senior washington correspondent peter barnes whos in virginia with the latest on both the dems and the republicans on the campaign trail. This kkk story suddenly seems to be, certainly, catching some fire here, peter. Reporter yeah, thats right, liz. And virginia, of course, a critical primary state for both democrats and republicans on super tuesday, tomorrow. So weve had three candidates here today. Donald trump was campaigning here earlier today, dr. Ben carson for the republicans, and as you can see, im at whats going to be a rally for Hillary Clinton in northern virginia. But lets start with the republican, the latest poll numbers from the republicans. You mentioned them, cnn and orc show trump now at 49 nationally, well above his rivals, marco rubio at 16 percent, ted cruz at 15, dr. Carson at 10 percent. And john kasich at 6 percent. Now, here in virginia Hillary Clinton will be speaking shortly at george mason university. Why . Well, because she is still lagging among Younger Voters who have been flocking to Bernie Sanders despite her big win this weekend in the South Carolina primary. Sanders still won the youth vote there, was one of the only demographics he did win, 54 to 46 according to fox news exit polls. And that has not stopped clinton from talking like a front runner simultaneously attacking her democratic rival and the republican front runner today. I do have a difference with my esteemed opponent who wants free college for everybody. First of all, that makes it really hard to control the costs. Youve got to have some cost control in there because its going up way too much. But i also will tell you i am not going to ask you to pay taxes to send Donald Trumps youngest kid free to college. Reporter so a twofer dig there for Hillary Clinton. You mentioned there are 600 odell gates up for grabs for the republicans, there are 865 up for grabs tomorrow for the democrats, about a third of the total needed to clip. The nomination for the democrats, 95 here in virginia alone. Liz . Liz oh, peter, thank you very much for setting that up. And by the way, we need to tell people that right now the s p has just dipped into negative territory for the month of february. Listen, four minutes ago i told you it was positive, but we are now pretty much just off session lows at the moment. The dow took a dip, was down more than 100 points just a second ago, so were watching this very closely. We will have much more on the 2016 race later with our political panel. A couple things, theyll talk about what republicans plan to do in the event of a trump nomination, and on top of it, more on that video we showed you of the reporter getting man handled by secret service at a trump rally. And by the way, trumps people have responded saying that any inquiries about that situation should be directed to local Law Enforcement except that it was trumps secret service who was apparently manhandling that reporter. I dont know if we have that video right now. We can either show it now or well show it in just a minute. Ing maybe the candidates might do well to address the economy and whether the flight to Treasury Bonds is a worrisome sign. Right now down 90 points for the Dow Jones Industrials with about 51 minutes away from the closing bell. The final trading day of the month of february. Over the weekend Warren Buffett certainly addressed it, in his annual shareholder letter he revealed he reduced his muni bond and high yield Bond Holdings amid ongoing concerns. Such a poor investment tool that they, quote, should come with a warning label. Whats he doing instead . Hes heading into treasuries. Traders at the new york stock exchange, the cme group and the nymex, scott, whatd you think about buffetts comment about that . Hes got a longterm time horizon, and anytime you hear him say hes going into treasuries, you know, i think equities actually get a little bit nervous. Overall hes been very successful, people like to follow what hes doing, and hes been pragmatic. Hes been buying extreme dips and one of his comments not today was the markets not cheap, but its not so overpriced, and i think thats the problem with investors right now. Theyre trying to figure out how to base the p of s p earnings, and right now theyve come down. To sustain a move in this 1950s era of the s p is hard. And we lost a 50day moving average. Technically, we were looking at 1942 to sigh if we would hold that, and right now were underneath it. Short term thats not a positive either. Liz yeah, treasury yields of about 1. 73 for the tenyear. Joe cusack, as we look at the markets over the past couple of minute, we took a leg down. Remember, we were higher considerably earlier today. The dow had been up 86, the s p had been better by 10. Weve seen a bit of erosion here, certainly. What do you think that can be attributed to . Yeah. Well, right now its the market is very uncertain. Technically, it looks like it should break up, you know . Its getting over that 1950 mark. Right now there is really no reason. The bond yields between treasuries here in the u. S. And germany have, the gap is getting bigger, and you know what . Take a look at the nikkei. Watch the overnight action, and youre going to see that the japanese markets are coming under pressure, and youre going to see the s p get under a lot more pressure. Liz yeah. Nikkei 225, fell about 1 , hong kong could be one and a third percent. It was a tough day, certainly, in asia. Luke, whats happening with oil today, a move to the upside of about 3 but, you know, well work to figure out volatility, say the saudi arabians. Again, you really cant believe any move, but this has been a tight trading range between 34 and, what, 29 a barrel over the past couple of weeks . Yeah, it has. But you already mentioned all the news thats had oil up today. It was the news out of saudi, it was the chinese stimulus, and buffett had some positive comments to make about the u. S. Economy. But the thing im looking at right now is the dollar index. Dollar index has been strong the last couple of weeks, and oil hasnt gone down. They have an inverse relationship. So i think oils going to stick around here for a little bit. Lets see what happens. But its starting to find a good floor, if you ask me. Liz okay, a floor. Ive heard that before [laughter] were looking around 33. Hey, its been one of the biggest questions i think that a lot of smart people on wall street have gotten wrong. Thanks, guys, good to see you. Were 48 minutes away from the closing bell. This is a touch and go session, folks, because we could get a lot worse or marginally percent. Two big names, dupont and caterpillar, extending fridays gains into the dow Winners Circle today, but this is changing as we speak. Visa is converting negative, dupont as well. Apple also having a kind of a granny smith day. Lots of green ahead of its big faceoff with the fbi on capitol hill tomorrow. Apple up just a fraction. Lawyers for the tech giant looking to make the case that unlocking the iphone of one of the San Bernardino terrorist shooters would open the door for hackers to wreak havoc on personal safety and privacy of apple owners, leaving millions exposed. But as terror attacks both in the real world and online continue to mount, compromising millions of americans personal data, could protecting personal privacy actually be making us less safe . Cybersecurity guru kevin mandia of fireeye here with us in a first on fox business interview. His better way, he believes, to solve this standoff. More countdown on the way, dont go away. Dow is down 101. Theres a lot of places you never want to see 7. 95. [ beep ] but youll be glad to see it here. Fidelity where smarter investors will always be.

Clear channel outdoor americas owns tens of thousands of billboards across the u. S. , and guess what it did today . It rolled out Clear Channel radar. The company has partnered up with several firms including at t to track your travel and behavior through your cell phone as you drive or walk by the billboards. The company then takes the info and provides it to advertisers. Oh, and guess what . I bet that if your phone is tracked as having walked by a certain billboard, theyll assume you looked at it which, excuse me, i dont always look at every billboard, and then theyll send you stuff . I dont want to know. Clear channel outdoors stock, its trading higher by about 1. 25 , its still a 3. 60 for cco. Look, this is all a big discussion from collecting data to refusing to release data to the fbi. Apple is headed to the hill tomorrow as general counsel is set to testify with fbi director james comey at a congressional hearing. The electricity between the two more like lightning bolts. Apples counsel has already said it will tell lawmakers once that iphone in question that of a dead terrorist is unlocked as the fbi wants, hackers could wreak havoc on personal safety and privacy of apple device owners. Is there a way to calm the standoff between fbi and apple . Joining me now, kevin mandia who does all kinds of breach investigation and is a leader in this. First, give me your stance on whether apple should open the phone. This is a very complex issue and, by the way, both sides are well intentioned. One side looking to represent the privacy of citizens and individuals in an International Community and another side that wants to protect folks. I think we could come to the table and both sides would agree we dont want bad things to happen to good people. And i think what were going to see merge from this and this discussion needed to happen its going to be an ongoing discussion as Technology Changes everybodys sense of privacy throughout the future. And well see something emerge where hopefully both sides can say heres what we can do to prevent harm to innocent people while still protecting the privacy of citizens. Liz if you were advising east side here, what would you either side here, what would you say they can do . Thats what im dying to do. Is there a way that apple can appropriately, without compromising its entire situation of software and its proprietary stuff, can it do this and help the fbi and yet keep the rest of us completely private . Well, i think its going to be hard for apple to promise any kind of back door because the day they create it, lets say they sat down with the best scientists in the world, and they have them, and they create great encryption that does have a back door or front door, whatever you want to call it. Within 2448 hours theres going to be freely available encryption that we cant break available to those users that want to use it. So i think that the end description issues a real tough one to solve because theres other third parties that can provide those solutions if apple chooses not to. So thats going to be a tough one to be a solution. I dont see a back door into this as a realistic solution simply because of that workaround. Liz well, yeah. And also we just showed a cyber alert to the left side of the screen there saying that 700,000 extra people had their information compromised through the irs. So when you do have any kind of little chink in the armor, in a way isnt it almost like there is that possibility . People should be looking at that . That said, we were wondering last week when we spoke with the former head of the cia, james woolsey, about whether this goes all the way to the top, hes what he said. Listen, and then you can comment. I think under the current structure it will probably go to the Supreme Court, but i dont think thats the way we want things to work out. I think you have to change the structure to let both sides win. Liz what do you think . All the way to the Supreme Court . And then what . You leave it up to i wouldnt say the youngest people in the world sitting on the Supreme Court who might not have, you know, extreme knowledge, and everybodys got an ageneral da here. You start to look at the constitution. The constitution says keep things private. Right. Well, absolutely. At
