before state of the six states up tonight, bernie sanders one 4 of them in 2016. there only wins one of them tonight the north dakota primary which is sort of the firehouse caucus basically means that a party run primary area is not like the iowacaucuses where people sit around and argue . it's more like go in and catcher out and walk out so sanders more likely to dowell there . in some other states but this is continuing a trend. we've seen sanders loose several state that he wind 2016 and he has yet to win a state that he didn't win in 2016 so sanders needs to grow. and he needs to grow fast. otherwise this race willwrap up quick . >> we've seen about shrink, mike bloomberg was the number one, no longer in therace. it's not as simple as mike bloomberg supporters go to joe biden . >> the lanes we talk about, moderate lanes and progressive lanes were too simplistic and as i was on the trail this year i was in iowa seven times and i hit a bunch of other early states as well and i was more likely to come across many who was struggling to decide between etthe project

on behalf of the nation's largest state, as governor of the world's fifth largest economy, the state of california, let me applaud the speaker, applaud senator schumer, applaud democratic leadership and the compromise that was advanced with republicans for meeting this ,oment, noting that this moment in a week or two, may necessitate further moments of support, particularly to individuals, not just states, not just to businesses and industries, but individuals themselves that are most impacted by this virus. let me be specific about what i mean by that. we are pleased with the increase in unemployment benefits of $600 on top of what states are already providing. we provide on a weekly basis unemployment insurance grants anywhere from $40 to as much as $450 and this package would provide for an additional $600 on top of that. over $1000 a week for many californians. by the way, the reason i say it's timely, we just passed the $1 million mark -- one million mark in terms of the number of 13.ms just since march one million californians have now claimed the need to get unemployment insur

of vermont again his home state so that was a pretty easy one to call. and also just one thing to remind you about virginia and some a lot of other contests there's a lot of contests that actually aren't happening tonight on the republican side which is actually. which is actually not an uncommon thing to happen this happened in past democratic primaries as well when there really isn't a serious contender against a sitting president they will not necessarily have a contest so it's not that unusual we also have some totals now for joe biden to update if we can get that information. obviously that's not joe biden but this is i was mentioning there may not be a lot of contests on the republican side because the governor former governor of massachusetts william weld is honestly not quite considered a serious contender to us president donald trump but as such these are still the totals that they have right now these 1276 to actually get the nomination so all right we do have good numbers for virginia coming in right now. let's take a look at what we have here

into state employee agencies fasters. we are taking you to louisiana from governor john bel dwards about that state's efforts how to handle the virus spread. and then at 5:00, president will talk about the federal government response. here unfiltered coveraged on c-span. tomorrow, the house will pass bill.ronavirus house speaker nancy pelosi said she's hoping to pass the $2 bringing ithout members to capitol hill. we'll have live coverage at 9:00 eastern here on c-span. >> follow the federal response to the coronavirus outbreak at c-span.org/coronavirus. watch congress, white house briefings, and updates from governors. track the spread throughout the u.s. and the world with interactive maps. watch on demand anytime unfiltered at c-span.org/coronavirus. tennessee governor bill lee held a hearing yesterday on how his state is handling coronavirus response. governor lee: good afternoon. hank you for joining for our wednesday covid-19 briefing for the state of tennessee. talk about in to covid-1919, i want to revisit and con

let's say joe biden has also won the state of virginia bernie sanders as one has helm state vermont so this is not a winner take all the delegate count is awarded proportionally right so some of that we don't know yet but we do know as we said that joe biden has taken the lead in the delegate count 116 coming into the night bernie sanders had led the 1st had not won all 4 contests but as a result of the 1st 4 contests in the 1st 4 states he had been leading the delegate count but as you can see vice president joe biden has taken over so he's at 116 senator bernie sanders at 80 and elizabeth warren senator from massachusetts as is at 8 there 1991 is the number needed to get the nomination approximately a 3rd of the number that is needed is actually up for grabs tonight in super tuesday which is 14 states and also an american territory so we are getting initial reaction right now from alabama as well joe biden is projected to win in alabama there are 52 delegates up for grabs there and so he will wind up. portion of that 52 that we just mentioned once we have any more specifics on that w

there are no red states or blue states. the virus does not attack and kill red americans or blue americans, it attacks all americans. keep in mind because there is a unifying wisdom in that. any questions? let's do on topic question first, if anyone has questions on local issues, we'll do that afterwards. >> how many healthcare workers on the ground right now? are all new york workers working on the ground? we are hearing some people are trying to apply that are in new york and they're not getting fr response. >> let's remember what we said. a few days ago, the question is are all healthcare workers working? the problem is healthcare are o they're afraid to go home, they're under immense physical stress. we put out retirees coming forward and we have many people coming to help. god bless the state of new york and humanity. we did this in a meeting yesterday. sorting those 78,000 people by regional and expertise across the state. we have a portal that we have to link them up to the hospital. we have that pool of 78,000. that

there is some assistance for states. it will not surprise you that a lot of governors don't think that will be sufficient, and i'm sure there will be further discussions about how to help states more with their specific challenges as well. fore is also assistance some of the vital industries including aerospace in our state. , ire are a number of avenues suspect this will not be sufficient in the need to restore our economy. this possible or having in our economy is not the worst idea, it might be the best. feel the time we will get back to economic activity is beating this virus. the number one thing we have to do is to be to this virus. this is no way to have virus is driving us for years. this is an economic growth strategy and the sooner we can get through this not after our jobs go through back. it is not just a health issue, it is an economical coverage strategy. we have to keep people afloat during that period of time. what was the first part of your question again? >> in terms of the construction -- gov. inslee:

across the state. so we have all hands on deck, all of us, whether you're in the private sector, hospital sector, or public health. a lot of questions, too, bout why are our tests -- why have our numbers gone up so dramatically? art of that, as the governor noted, we're doing more testing. also, it's not unexpected. seeing community transmission. particularly in some of these areas.t so in some ways, the message we're trying to get out to testing is that important. the most important thing the eorgia public can do right now is follow these guidelines, to stay home, don't go out if sick. honor the social distancing request. elderly, that they don't have to go out and secure they ies or gem wasselves -- get themselves exposed. make sure you protect your yourself.as well as as i said so many times, our response to this epidemic is all of us quire working together, not just to rotect ourselves and our families, but also the whole community. so it's going to take this ollective effort of working together to

united states and state governments into state researchers are being put to work on this. host: we go next to hawaii to hear from jared. good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead, you are on the air. caller: i was wondering, how are we supposed to deal with this year in hawaii since we had two cases two weeks ago and now we have 10 the presumed positive. we are still allowing air travel and everything pretty much from anywhere and nothing has shut down. andave a small island here tens of thousands of visitors every day. how can we combat this? host: michael greenberger from johns hopkins, the number of cases confirmed in hawaii is now 14. caller: -- guest: if you're looking at washington state or new york state, the cases are double that. if you look at heat maps of where the virus is a presenting itself, there are big red circles around new york state and the immediate states there. it is a real problem. doit has not happened yet, i believe that there will be controls put in place about who can fly in and out of hawaii. you have a special problem -- you are off m

sanders projected to take three states. utah, colorado and his home state of vermont. bloomberg is the projected winner in american samoa. one state the biggest one of the nilgt hasn't been decided. california is too early to call. 39% of the vote counted. sanders leading there. maine is too close to call. joe biden is leading there. most of the votes are in. it is close. here's where the delegates count stands. biden has 416. sanders has 319. biden and sanders both struck triumph notes tonight. >> it's a good night. it seems to be getting better. that don't call it super tuesday for nothing. >> when we began this race for the presidency, everybody said it couldn't be done. >> just a few days ago the press declared the campaign dead. >> tonight i tell you with absolute confidence we're going to win the democratic nomination. >> we were told when we got to super tuesday it would be over. it maybe over for the other guy. >> and we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the history of this country. >> make no mistake about it. this campaign will send donald t

he won three states, colorado, utah and his home state of vermont. and as we said, california, the biggest delegate prize of all is leaning his way. there are still a couple states yet to call. you can see texas there as well. you need 1991 to be nominated, win the democratic nomination. at this hour, biden is leading, opening up his first lead of this entire primary campaign with 331 delegates. bernie sanders at 269. elizabeth warren who is still in this race trailing pete buttigieg who dropped out over the weekend. where do we stand. we have 77 year old joe biden battling 78 year old bernie sanders for the right to challenge 73 year old donald trump. you could call it the supte jaw suptegenarians. we have just learned he filed a request with the courts to give voters more time had that. for an update let's go to nancy courkoaferred es. >es -- cordes. >> there was an emergency junction to keep the polls open for two more hours. they've heard complaints of hours long lines and voting problems. they want a judge to grant two more hours to anyone who w

this is state. i was with the mayor of new york city, an hour and a half ago, this is leadership getting involved. by trying to figure out don't wait to ask, don't try to wait until the phone rings. get ahead of it, and predict what's going to go wrong and have the good enough solution on time. >> general seonite head of the army corps of engineer, god speed, thank you. we'll be right back . this right here is the new papadia. which, if i'm not mistaken, is latin for "better than a sandwich." heh-even has a better pickle... get a new papadia for six bucks. better ingredients. better pizza. better than a sandwich. papa john's. . >>> what you see here on this chart is a troubled time. it is not, shy mention, the troubled time that we are in right now. this shows the number of americans putting in claims for unemployment benefits going back to 2007. at the apex of the job losses from the financial collapse, from the great recession, look how bad the great recession was. in march 2009, look at that peak

especially at our state parks, from are enjoyed by people our state and other states, as well. just be mindful that the people around, you need to do social distancing so you are not at risk of covid-19 potentially from an out-of-state traveler. there is a question that has come up about the prohibition on social gatherings of more than 10, and i think that's a good rule. it's a directive. and it is designed to protect the people of arkansas from transmission of covid-19, but we need to be thoughtful and mindful about how we apply it. 10 or less is not all the same. if there are 10 of your family members who you are around all the time and none of them are sick, that's one thing. if you are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with 10 people from 10 different states who you don't know, that is a different thing all together. it only takes one person to transmit covid-19 to the other nine. so even when you are in smaller groups and outside, still keep that healthy distance, at least six feet to prevent transmission. with that, i'll turn it back over to the governor. i kepttchinson: lis

alabama, the state that we are in, is a super tuesday state with a significant black voter population. black voters made up a majority of the primary electorate back here in 2016, and michael bloomberg has poured significant resources in the state as it's one of the first contests where he will appear on the ballot. also speaking right now is joe biden, fresh off that victory in south carolina, and he and his team are looking to states like alabama. a lot of these southern states have significant african-american populations where they believe he performs well, and he did quite well among black voters last night in south carolina. so alabama is going to be one of those critical super tuesday states that we're going to see how voters decide to go in this contest in just two days, fred. >> arlette saenz, we'll check back with you on this 55th year marking, and people very anxious to see congressman john lewis there as well. meantime, congressman james clyburn, the king maker in california and also a very good friend of john lewis, clyburn is now speaking out more about his endorsement o

soleimani is dead, israel and the united states are alive. wow (applause) what is really important about that the nations of the middle east in the world are recognizing how enduring israel is. the coming the recognize the more the middle east embraces israel, the brighter their future will be that's what i want to focus on this evening. under president trump israel is not a pariah but a partner and rightly so. our special nations, share so much a pining spirit basic rights and freedoms and pluralism and rough-and-tumble politics, israel loves politics so much they're holding their third election. they just can't get enough of them. and just think of all the benefits that israel brings to the region, it's an example of pluralism and free speech. (applause) israel brings a robust free market, innovative economy, where entrepreneurship is rewarded and it is a place a unique place in that region. a place where all can worship freely without fear or favor. these good things have ripple effects, you know this, a strong democracy sets that example

new york state has more coronavirus cases than any state in the united states of america, that we should not be included in the bill. obviously makes no sense. we're also going to conduct immediately trials for the new drug therapy, which we have been discussing. i spoke to dr. zucker about it. there is a theory that the drug treatment could be helpful. we have people who are in serious condition. and dr. zucker is comfortable as well as a number of other health professionals, that in a situation where a person is in dire circumstances, try what you can. the f.d.a. is going to accelerate to new york 10,000 doses. as soon as we get those zoases, we'll work with hospitals, doctors and families on using those drugs and seeing where we get. the president -- i spoke to -- he spoke to this drug therapy in his press conference yesterday. i spoke to him afterwards. i said that new york one interested. again, we have the most number of cases. and health professionals have all recommended to me that we try it. so we will try it. we're also working on a number of other drug therapies, an antibody t

been working hand and glove with states all over the country but particularly those states and new york and florida where we've seen what the experts call a community spread. we'll have specific guidelines regarding schools and workplaces and also larger community events. but, look, there's much more work to be done. but every american should know that they can make a difference in preventing themselves contracting the coronavirus or a member of their family, a loved one or their community by practicing commonsense health practices that are available right now at coronavirus.gov. earlier this week with all of our experts, we produced a series of recommendations for schools, workplace, families in the home and also commercial enterprises and people with go, can post those, practice those and it will make a real difference in preventing not only themselves from contracting the coronavirus but also the potential of spreading the coronavirus to their loved ones or other people in their community. >> as you know with wall street, again, a very bad day for the markets. and schools closing. wh

it just accounts for the sweep of the state, what looks like a sweep of the state by joe biden. raises all sorts of questions about a state that was critical in general election too. if joe biden might be more acceptable to the voters who swung michigan away from the democrats in 16 than hillary clinton. >> so what changed, steve? because we saw that giant rally in ann arbor for bernie sanders just a couple days ago. is it just the chase those young voters didn't go vote? >> i think he got some support but not as much. you look down here, kalamazoo county, western michigan unit, joe biden 48, sanders 44. look what this was four years ago, sanders got over 60% of the vote. we saw this in county after county. we saw suburban counties. livingston county, it's a classic commuting suburb, turnout was through the roof. joe biden woman n by 17 points. it's a swing of nearly 40 points. you saw it in michigan, missouri, you saw just an entire sweep here. every single county in missouri looks like it is going to go to joe biden. the swing here among white voters, 32 points. this was the c

it's also revealing in that it does state pretty clearly that the states in the south would grow in economic wealth and power, an explicit goal that this would help build this part of the united states, which is being held back by these internal nations. on the one hand it's very clear what it's saying. we are doing this for economic development reasons. it is extremely misleading in that it implies that this is voluntary, that it is an offer. it is misleading that it does not concede that it is really targeting indian nations in the south. after the indian removal act was passed in may of 1830, indian nations still fought against it. they still marshaled public opinion. they filed suits in the united states supreme court to prevent it, you know, kept fighting throughout the 1830's. some indian nations did go ahead with removal. it is important to remember the conditions on the ground were really hard at that point, that indians were under attack. a lot of indians understood where this was all going. the cherokee nation fought to the end, and it has become understood to be primarily about th

this state and this state works with the federal government. we cannot do this on our own. i have built airports and bridges, we have made this government do things it has never done before. this government has done somersaults, it has performed better than ever before. i am telling you this government withouteet this crisis the resources and capacity of the federal government. i spoke to the president this morning again. he is ready, willing, and able to help. he is speaking to members of his staff late last night, early this morning. we need their help especially on the hospital capacity issue. we need fema, it has tremendous resources. i know what they can do. i know what it army corps of engineers can do. they have a capacity we do not have. , who iso the president a new yorker, who i have known for many years, i put my hand out in partnership. i want to work together 100%. i need your help, i want your , and new yorkers will do everything they can to be good partners with the federal government. i think the president was 100% sincere sayin

. >> we now have 288 confirmed cases of covid-19 in our state. over the past weekend we saw a 678 percent increase in positive cases. we now have cases in 21 out of any for of marilyn's jurisdictions. sadly a montgomery county woman in her 40s became the third maryland are so far to have died as a result of the coronavirus. there are now 635 cases in the capital region of maryland, dc and virginia. 32,000 cases across america and more than 342,000 cases around the globe. over the past several weeks, we have taken some swift, decisive, unprecedented actions in our state. in order to slow the spread of covid-19 and to save lives . i just want to take a moment to thank the overwhelming majority of marylanders who have taken this situation seriously and who have remained at home, avoided crowds and practiced much needed social distancing. unfortunately, many peopleare still not taking it seriously . there were crowds of people visiting the cherry blossoms in washington dc in large gatherings on the beach in ocean city and on the boardwalk and in many

>> reporter: the state still has the most number of deaths due to coronavirus than any other state. the deep concern here is without enough ventilators, people will die unless more can be put on the market. the vast majority of us will survive novel coronavirus but for many of those who become critically ill, their lives will depend on whether there are enough ventilators to save them. >> we're not going to have enough. we won't have enough capacity if we allow the virus to take the natural course that it will. we're at war. >> reporter: the virus has hit every state. if the u.s. outbreak track similarly to what happened in italy, hospitals will be overwhelmed. >> we're so incredibly under prepared. >> reporter: the desperation for ventilators made clear by governors around the country. >> we have about fi5 or 6,000 secured. we need 30,000. this is a bad situation. >> we do not want to be in a position that the poor people of italy where they are deciding who will live and whose going to die because they don't have enough res practice raters. >> reporter: there are only about 12 lar

states created the systems and states have the power to get rid of the system that's and even if there are colombia or peru or developing countries even if they are mali and what have you the states have the power to get rid of the system if they chose to do so. but do they really want to governments that big business are often complicit. in the vattenfall group for example had the chancellor's ear she even appointed its ex e.e.o. lawyers just of sin to be her personal advisor on energy transition. most heads of state are ambivalent. even you don't consider the fast and do. long. i have is your sister there lucky for you cannot be easy to preserve on producing items that they are. style of play such an easy to. home after buying the style you dish up on it because you know it is just nice you know north of the share. and to walk south and he's told her mom in a duplicate bottom of their i don't know coffee. key boss said that some on their. own full so you can see the minutes half an hour or so where you are. the ones that actually see prove you are not exist. econo highest standard yo

. >> people can be confident that this president and our administration and the leadership in every state in the country have no higher priority than the health and safety of the people of this nation. it is one of the reasons that president trump took unprecedented action in january and declared public health emergency and established the white house task force but also suspended all travel from china. in any quarantined all-americans coming back from china to essentially do everything we could to prevent the spread that was received in the united states. in trouble advisories, proportions of italy, portions of south korea and we are now screening 100 percent of all passengers on all direct flights and all airports in italy or south korea into the united states. the truth is that the coronavirus is here. and we have more than a thousand cases in this country as the doctor said, there will be many more in the days ahead. the good news is the most people that contracted coronavirus, will have flulike symptoms ranging from mild to more serious flulike symptoms. president trump made it clear

in the united states, the death toll has reached 11, with 10 of the deaths occurring in washington state. on wednesday, california recorded its first coronavirus death, an elderly man who traveled on a princess cruise ship that departed from san francisco and traveled to mexico in february. governor gavin newsom has ordered the ship quarantined off the coast of california and is airlifting tests for passengers and crew. governor newsom made the announcement as he formally declared a state of emergency across california. >> i want to acknowledge that with 53 tested cases positive, this is no longer isolated in just one part of our state. this is broadly shared as a burden and responsibility up and down the state. global death rate from the disease caused by the new coronavivirus is 3.4%, far deadlier t than the seasonal fl. but on wednesdsday night, president trump said he had a "hunch" the number was actually much lower. trump was speaking with fox news's sean hannity. pres. trump: i think 3.4% is a false number. butthis is just my hunch, based on a lot of conversations with a lot of peo

in oregon state and in washington state, the states governors there, kate brown and jay inslee respectively, they have now ordered a halt to all nonurgent medical and dental procedures statewide. anything that would require protective gear for healthcare providers because that gear is so key to whether or not doctors and nurses and other healthcare workers stay alive to take care of the rest of us. the oregon governor kate brown announcing that the state is actually rounding up protective equipment now. like, masks and gloves. rounding that stuff up. collecting it from contractors and veterinarians and anybody else who is not using it for human healthcare right now. oregon is also one of several states that is building new capacity. new beds. last night, we reported on king county, washington, building a brand new 200-bed hospital. that i am tempted to call a field hospital because they are building it in a soccer field. we reported on that last night in king county, washington. that is going up fast. one state south in the great state of oregon, they are also now building out a similar fac

river number of states up tonight. the most critical one for both of the campaigns as they spent the last couple days is in michigan. it's a state bernie sanders one bat back in 2016. discover largest delegates, when hundred 25 up for grabs and it's a state that appears to be tilting towards former vice president joe biden. he's got the support of not just his former rival cory booker and, hares but also the governor of the state budget what brca1 her race back in 2018. the mayor of detroit, the lieutenant governors of young dynamic up and. establishment if you will in that state of the newly elected establishment seems to be going behind former vice president biden. biden is almost certainly going to win mississippi by a pretty handy margin tonight. it's a state with a significant african american population is going to make it more than half of the democratic primary electorate and that is similar to states joe biden one last week on super tuesday come states like north carolina, alabama, arkansas places were african

we coordinate with the states and we are coordinating with the states. for the most part the coordination has been good. look, three days ago i had a phone call with all the governors. i actually allowed the press to stay. they weren't supposed to stay. one person in the media said that is surprising. that is a little rimsky doing that because we had democrats and we had republicans. they're politicians and they always have something to say. i took a lot of calls. we really didn't get one nasty or bad response. they were thanking us for the job we did. i had the press saying, i don't think so, i was the press standing there watching. they were not supposed to be there. governors were very complimentary. very, very complimentary. i watched last few days governor cuomo. i watched gavin newsom in california. i watched both of them. they have been very complimentary. those are really the hotbeds. so we want to keep that going. i'm very proud of this country and i'm frankly very proud of a lot of the politicians that normally we're fighting with. we have diff

the state of iowa, and early caucus state, is a state he thinks he can carry. he wanted to remind people of that. he would like to carry new hampshire. he plans on carrying south carolina. these early states are places he can show he can flex his muscle. remember we have never had a president impeached in the first term like this. he is feeling put upon. he wants to sort of get back at the democrats. he is not over it yet, let's just say. [laughter] peter: how did this all begin? where did super tuesday come from? carl: i was thinking about this. the first time i heard the phrase was in 1976. i was not covering politics yet. was right out of college. there were three primaries on the last day, june 8 i want to say. i'm doing this from memory right now. it was new jersey, ohio and california and that is how i knew about it. this was a lot of delegates. jimmy carter had stolen the march on the democratic field that year in iowa. by the end of it, he was an outsider, not to the extent trump is, but he challenged the establishment. and the establishment is thinking

the state is working to obtain about 5,000 ventilators. the governor addressed concerns here in the bay area. the state has leased space to care for patients. >> we need to do more. and that includes san mateo county. >> reporter: he said he expects an announcement in the next day or two on whether public schools in this state will resume this school year. heed in his view, that will not happen. the state is looking to put out guidance on whether people should care face masks even if they're not sick. and he announced an initiative to keep an eye on people during these times of isolation. >>> santa clara county is the hardest hit in the bay area. how rulings already in place will be tightened. >> reporter: county health officer dr. sarah cody says the current measures, staying inside, social distancing, sanitizing, those are all working. but not, and more needs to be done. officials are tightening those restrictions ahead of what they believe will be an influx in cases. >> every unnecessary contact with another person increases the chance

these are slave states. these are union states. this is unorganized territory. within the border states, you have a war that doesn't look like what we see in the eastern theater. the eastern theater is big fancy battles, gettysburg and antietam, robert e. lee and ulysses s. grant fighting it out. that is mostly what americans think when they think about the civil war. we have done a pretty good job mixing that up and realizing how complicated that is. the western theater, big fancy battles, big fancy armies, but a lot of division and complicated stuff. trans-mississippi theater, the war looks different here. you don't have as many of them -- of the big fancy armies and battles. you have what is called guerrilla warfare or irregular warfare. there are historians who recognize forms of irregular warfare take place throughout the confederacy, but the most explosive and certainly most famous parts of guerrilla warfare takes place in missouri and kansas, which is where we will spend of the class. half in the borderlands -- this here, which is oklahoma, is unorganized

north dakota, they were a caucus state. they're basically a primary state this time. again, let's give sanders a win there to try to show you the math. let's look at missouri. this state was 50-50 clinton/sanders in 2016. we're going to say it's razor thin again. let's look at michigan. sanders got that win in michigan last time around. he's pulling out all the stops to try to get it again. let's say sanders gets a narrow win in michigan again. we're giving him wins in all five of these states. then you get to mississippi, and mississippi is a state where it looks like sanders is going to get blown out. he's going to get blown out because his support with black voters is so small, especially in the deep south. next door in alabama last week, sanders lost 63-16. in mississippi in 2016, sanders lost 83-16. very likely you're going to have something like that happen again. so we're saying sanders competing very well in these states, winning these states, getting blown out in mississippi. now, look what this does to the delegate math. it takes biden from up 70 and on the

by state until the party convention and then on into the election. the last few days ago in the press the button to declare to give me the i'm going to change so i'm going off all on the i'm going to go to super tuesday and you're over well it may be i mean never go on the on what we need is a new politics that breeds working class people in time our political move that was worked brings young people into our political goal it was and which in november will create our highest voter turnout in american political history it was. ok there we are here we go let's bring in our guests today joining us from boston we have james pindell he's a politics reporter for the boston globe out of new york on skype we have linda sauce or she's an activist and a campaign a known as a national surrogate for bunny soundless and in the u.k. we have scott lucas he's a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham and co-founder of the news and analysis website the trump project welcome to you will james in boston so joe biden's got a bounce how did he mana

is in a state of denial. you see this virus move across the state you see the virus move across this there is no american who you mean to this virus. i don't re if you live in kansas. i don't care if you live in texas. there is no american that is him you what is happening to new york is not an anomaly is nothing about it. a new yorkers immune system that is any different thanany other americans immune system. so in many ways new york is just a canary in the coal mine which you see us going through here. you will see happening all across this country so part of what we're doing here is not only serving new yorkers, but wbelieve that we're dealing with this pandemic at a-level intensity and density that no one has seen before. and hopefully we'll learn lessons here that we can then share with people across this nation. >>the governois also urging health care workers from other parts of the country where they're not really dealing with the crisis much yet to help out in new york. he promised that new rk would r

state. now just days ago agra said it would no longer prevent migrants from trying to leave its territory and that sparking fears of a new wave of migration into the european union. people are still stuck on the turkish side of the border searching for any possible way to get to greece and further into europe. look just over there the greek soldiers are watching us with that they're not allowing us to enter it's just 15 to 20 meters away. but they won't let us in so much because i'm going to make this we don't wait here for 4 or 5 months we are determined to wait we will not leave we won't give up and when they finally open the gates we will answer if they don't we will wait here have been is i don't know if this is turkey's game or europe's want but they're playing with us they put us in a miserable situation. e.u. leaders came to see the situation for themselves after greece asked for help to secure its land and sea entry points. europe has not been up to the task of dealing with a migrati

even if you just look at the way she spent her time in that state versus the other four early states or the other three early states, she spent more time and resources in places like iowa, new hampshire, and even nevada. south carolina, just look at the number of trips that she did there. she had the fewest trips or among the fewest trips of the folks in the field. they knew this was a state that wasn't going to go well for them. that's part of why they're here in texas trying to push ahead. the location is the message. push ahead to super tuesday where their strategy really is delegates, delegates, delegates. that 15% viability threshold is one that they're really keeping front of mind because that's their strategy to just amass as many delegates as possible because remember, that's the strategy on paper. but in reality they haven't earned any new delegates since the night of the iowa caucus, february 3rd. since then what they have earned is the money to keep going. about $20 million just this month alone. that's crucial and important. but what you see her doing here on the ground i

and that reduced the budget for out of state travel 78%. [ applause ] for eight years the number of state employees have been increasing at a rate of 4 to 5% each year. we put a freeze on hiring replacements for those who quit or retired or left the service. and now a year later i could tell you that we did bring that annual increase to a halt and did a little better. there are tonight 2.5% fewer employees in the state of california than there were one year ago. not all of the savings were in the area of millions of dollars. in my office i discovered a stack of stationery with another fella's name on it. now custom decrees it should be burned but i didn't want to add to the smog in california. i've got some with my name on it for formal correspondence but i figured there must be in the family stuff to make use of and now the girls just x out that other name and type mine in and you know i get a certain amount of pleasure out of that. but we turned and this is the most exciting thing, we turned to the people as we said we would. we turned first to a blue ribbon citizens committee from all

north carolina and the state of virginia now bernie sanders has won the state with the most delegates that's california of course he's also won utah colorado and his home state of vermont there while biden has the most delegates so far as sanders is trailing in 2nd place there so followed by elizabeth warren 24 and mike bloomberg on 33 they were over in the republican primaries donald trump of course is in a clear lead says facing no serious contenders and is virtually certain to get his party's nomination. that both chill bites and i'm bernie santas have spoken to their support says here's some of what they had to say the last few days ago the press the funny declared you can't marry yet the only think a soft go on and off the. the trial we're going to go to super tuesday and you're over well it may be over me never go on the what we need is a new politics that brings working class people in time our political move that was the work springs young people into our political goal that was the and which in the example will create the highest voter turnout in american political history th

[applause] ♪ mr. reed: i do not know about you, by am excited -- but i am excited. are you excited? [cheers] do not know if you know it, but fighting joe biden is in town today. trumpow what, donald wants to make america great again. but i truly believe he wants to make america great again. so here is what we will do. --will help joe budden make we will help him make america great again by sending joe biden to the white house. we will help them make america great again because we will give him more time to hang out on the golf course. we are going to help him make america great again by electing people, not unifies someone that divides people. that is what this party stands for. we understand it better than all what it means and what the power we unlock when we unite. i think that he is on his way. we are going to make some noise. let's m

the question is this state will be a bellwether of states look a little more like iowa and new hampshire are going to go moving forward in this primary election, question whether amy klobuchar delegates move over to joe biden or whether some of those voters in a very progressive state of minnesota move over to bernie sanders. >> what is your feeling? what do you think will happen? >> democrats, it is a very progressive state. there is a reason minnesota hasn't gone for a republican in decades. ronald reagan didn't even carry it in 1984 and states next-door like wisconsin and iowa have gone to the republican kim. of democrats are very left wing which leads me to believe amy klobuchar's voters do not go straight to joe biden just because she was on stage endorsing him. a lot of them will go to bernie sanders and we will see if elizabeth foreign picks up as well but her candidacy clearly fading. >> a lot of buttigieg voters as well. we appreciate it. >> come on out, bev's cafÉ, breakfast with friends all morning long. heather: a lot of folks will turn out. the stakes could not be higher, 1

in that one state. in the united states, more broadly, we don't know. because our government still hasn't gotten it together to test people. at any noticeable level. still. south korea has been testing 10,000 people a day, since february. we found out about our first cases around the same time that south korea did. they're testing 10,000 people a day and have been since last month. we still haven't tested 10,000 people total over the entire course of this epidemic in this country. we've got more than six times their population. so imagine how big our mushroom cloud can get. but the federal government, the trump administration, botching the rollout of testing for this virus, it continues to set the united states apart. the financial times in london today put out this graph showing how well countries are doing testing for the virus. testing, the first crucial step in identifying people, and identifying people with the virus and spreading contact, to stop the virus from spreading furthly. the reason that france is below us because they're only publishing t

host: james hodge, university of arizona state -- error-prone state university, director -- arizona state university, joining us to talk about localities and state response. we welcome your calls and comments. (202)-748-8000, eastern and central time zones. mountain, pacific time zones, (202)-748-8001. what about quarantine situations? how much leeway does a governor have to impose quarantine on a city/locality within that state? guest: really clear, legal terms. quarantine is just about separating persons who may have been exposed to covid-19. we don't know if they are infected. you may be quarantined at home. you may have been exposed. that is legitimate. we do that in non-emergency's all the time. quarantines, legal perspective, just about those persons who may be suspected of potential infection down the road. what we are talking about and seeing, at federal and state level, california, new york have been suggesting this, there is an issue using curfew laws in new jersey to do this, what we are talking about in relation to self protection or sheltering in place initiatives, these are

this is washington state. they have been able to, for a long time of mess rinasuring cao not have a spike. we are watching closely to be sure it doesn't have a spike. that's what the people in washington state is doing. washington state early, about two weeks before new york or new jersey, california a week before new york or new jersey, really talked to their communities and decided to mitigate before they started seeing this number of cases. now we know that makes a big difference. early, as dr. fauci says, if you wait until you see it, it's too late. >> do you have a demographic breakdown where these deaths occurred? >> there is a demographic breakdown based on mortality. it is based on italy, not to say young people under 30 or 40 are not getting ill. they are, but they are recovering. the profile looks identical to italy with increasing mortality with age and conditions. that looks the same way. we are hoping through the hope of communities. it comes down to communities. this is communities deciding that

so if the states organize among themselves, because you can't have the states competing against the states and by the way, then when the federal government goes out to buy the same equipment for their stockpile, now it's 50 states competing against the states and the federal government competing against the states. this is not the way to do business. we need a nationwide buying consortium. either the federal government should say i'm the purchasing agent for the nation, i will distribute by need, or the states, which is hard to organize 50 states. i'm vice charm of the national association of governors, i will talk to them. maybe the states could come up with a voluntary buying concourtium and then we distribute by need. this is something that has to be worked out not just for this, but for the future. this can't happen again. also, we have to plan forward on testing. there's still people who can't get tests, there's other countries developing faster tests, developing home tests, we have a rigorous approval process through the fda, cdc in this country. it's served us well in normal circums

in and outbid states. we heard officials say now that majority of americans don't need to wear masks. that's what they have been say all along. there does seem to be now growing doubt among some people. i want to listen to dr. fauci telling my colleague this morning. >> getting a much more broad community wide of masks outside of the healthcare setting is under very active discussion. make sure we don't take away the supply of masks from the healthcare workers who need them. but when we get in a situation of enough masks, i believe more broadening this recommendation of using masks. we are not there yet but we are close to coming to some determination. >> if suddenly now everybody tries to get masks, that's going to lead for everyone more problems for healthcare workers. >> i don't understand why people are afraid. we are in i think a lot of people know that hospitals are shortage of masks. so i can't fault for wanting to try to protect themselves. what i can fault is price gouching going on right now. i a

groundwork in those states. mike only got in in november. we feel good and confident about heading into tonight. some of the states we're moni r monitoring closely are arkansas, oklahoma, colorado, utah. states that mike has been crisscrossing the country for. the map continues to get better and better for mike, which is why we started our day in florida and will be ending with a campaign rally there, because florida is one of the states where we know is a big battleground to not only defeat donald trump but the next wave of votes coming next week. >> but you don't have any ad buys set for anything past super tuesday, if i'm correct. tell me if i'm wrong about that. >> that is actually wrong. >> are you waiting to see what happens tonight to decide -- that's wrong? >> yeah. we actually do have ad buys placed beyond, i think, at least until friday. we've been doing this periodically, we do every three days we're placing ad buys. we are actually up. and i think that we'll continue to be up after tonight, a long wa

but we have voting states today. every state you see in white, that's a voting state. the only real problem may be mississippi with some heavy rainfall there. the rest of the states doing well today through tonight and then tomorrow this thing is gone, no real significant weather there. there will be heavy rain in southern california. some spots could pick up 2 to 4 inches. there's no sleet. but there could be some flooding out there. d.c. today, some spots over 70 degrees. down to the south, about the same story. back to you. >> thank you very much. >>> the coronavirus has killed at least 26 people in the united states. most of them patients who were at least 70 years old. cnn's martin savidge is live near retirement village in central florida with the very latest on this, martin. people who are older in this country are deeply concerned about coronavirus. what have you learned? >> reporter: right. morning, john. there's a couple of reasons that the state of florida and officials here are particularly concerned. and one of them is, of course, travel. they just get an

was the state that has provided the mostport for the united states and u.s. citizens that were overseas to repatriate them with direct flightses. a number of those direct flights went into travis, into miramar in southern california and marsh were also southern california. but more broadly defined as parts of riverside. those operations were successful. the logistics -- arthel: so that's gavin newsom, the governor of california, informing us as well as the local community more specifically in term it is of the preparation -- terms of the preparation, the coordination that has been put into place and still seems to be trying to get it all worked out and to get those 3500 passengers and crew off the grand princess that is now about two and a half miles outside of the port of oakland. it's really fascinating, one of the things that stood out to me that the above announced at his press conference, he said they are monitoring, independently of those cruise stipes, monitoring 10,257 people in california for potential cases of coronavirus. he did not say they have t
