[applause and cheers] michael: hello. hello. [applause and cheers] michael: thank you. thank you. it is great to be back in utah. every time i come here, i look at the mountains and the valley and the salt lake and think, this is the place. [applause] michael: i have a question for all of you and i mean no offense, but let's say brigham young showed up today. the question is, will he settle in salt lake city, or given the construction on i 15, he calls cindy his home instead? thank you for that kind introduction. i would want to say peter gave a great introduction. he read it just the way i wrote it. it was perfect. we have a lot in common. he is a champion for the environment and protecting the places that make this state and country so special. peter, thanks for being a leader and an ally in the fight. we owe you a great round of applause. [applause] michael: i also want to thank lauren and the team for helping us to win on super tuesday. [applause] as war said, i was here in salt lake last month. we had a great event, but the energy is even greater today. and just like last nig

michael: michael. pleasure to meet you. lemonis: michael, nice to meet you. there's an interesting scent in here. michael: yes, it is a pretty heavy aroma. i don't smell it at all. lemonis: it's strong. michael: we're cheese guys. we smell nothing. lemonis: how you doing? i'm marcus. josh: josh. nice to meet you. lemonis: nice to meet you. julius: hi, marcus. julius. lemonis: julius, nice to meet you. julius: this is angela. angela: hi, marcus. lemonis: really nice to meet you. how long has the business been here? julius: in april, it will be 20 years. lemonis: in this location? julius: in this location, yeah. lemonis: but the company has existed for how long? michael: 1954. lemonis: and when did you guys buy it? michael: 16 years ago. we do kind of three businesses in one, so we have the retail shop. second one is online, and then the third one is a wholesale business where we sell to restaurants and hotels. we have 5,000 restaurants in manhattan that we can sell to. lemonis: how many do you service? michael: probably, like, 65, so 0.1%. lemonis: oh. a littl

i think michael. would agree there is way too much money in our political system with our lobbyist with you know. a supreme court decision that allows gobs of money without being able to identify who gave him but it's a system that we have and you know what he's committed to do is investing in communities that are hard to reach we know that in 2016 whites voted 69 percent blacks voted 67 percent asians voted 49 percent the team has voted to 47 percent the fastest growing part of america 54000000 now a big part of the democratic party to get them out to vote is hard you've got to work them he's got the resources to do that and he's the only candidate that's committed to keeping all of the battleground states offices open fully staffed whether or not he's the nominee so whoever the nominee is he's going to staff those offices one of the i think the fact that he is a wealthy man is i think important to the extent that he he intends. to spend what it takes to be down drugs and tornadoes stay right there w

that would involve michael flynn. deputy assistant attorney general john you, good to have you on fox news at night. robert barnes, another attorney we had on the show tweets this today, they get tv deals, book deals, if a government official with an alleged crime, at an unprecedented level. they need an explanation. >> i can see why people think trump critics are being treated differently from trump supporters but they should keep in mind these are the results of actions of the trump justice department. it is true as donald trump tweeted today that he has the legal authority to direct all the prosecutions, to take care of the law is executed. he have -- we have tried to keep the white house and the justice department at arm's length, culminating in watergate and it helps donald trump in the end, it gets cleared by mueller. and donald trump allowed the justice department to be independent. >> he was frustrated by this. doing a deep dive, outside the original prosecution, want to look into the michael flynn case. micha

michael bloomberg confessed. pa rt sure. michael bloomberg confessed. part of leadership is, when you mess up, you confess. you see that you made a mistake. michael bloomberg has said that and, further said, he has said that and, further said, he has learned from that. and learning from that, he has made so many great proposals on african—american empowerment. he has created 100,000 new business opportunities in the united states, and affordable housing programme for african today, he is announcing his total criminal justice reform package that hits on every point that african americans in this country have been talking about for decades. the thing about michael bloomberg is that, as a mayo, what you promise and when you make a policy proposal, you do it. michael bloomberg has a record of doing things that he has committed to do. on capitol hill, he will perform them. when he was back or do you make mistakes and he apologised and learned from it i need to do more to explain to african—americans the us, hey, he was wrong. in doing so, move on and i d

michael: it was. until we have a clearer view on who the democratic candidate is going to be, i think markets have been watchful but not really trading the political risk just yet. that will change as the year goes on and it will depend a lot on who the candidate is and their policy. at the moment, all the noise is around the coronavirus and so far, political risk hasn't really reentered the u.s. market. nejra: we turn to washington, d.c., we are joined on the phone. john, talk to us about how eager the candidates were to differentiate themselves before super tuesday and did it work? certainlyink they all tried very hard to do that because as you said, this is the last chance for probably a good number of them to not only do and superuth carolina tuesday, but to stay in the race. trying to they are single out sanders over his as ae, and he set himself true believer who wants to bring about great change. you had amy klobuchar trying to stay above the fray and it was a raucous debate. a lot of sparring,

avenatti into their fold. >> joining us is michael avenatti. >> michael avenatti. >> michael avenatti, thank you very much. >> he's out there saving the country. trish: i'm showing you the liberal media's so-called apologies and backtrack. it's official. the media blaming president trump for absolutely possible ily everything. they are wondering why the president can't stop the coronavirus. but first what are the stages of grief? nancy pelosi is still in denial about president trump's acquittal. i have got that for you next. ♪ ♪ wherever we want to go, autosave your way there with chase. chase. make more of what's yours. ♪ do you recall, not long ago ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ all we needed somebody to lean on ♪ the new xc90 plug-in hybrid electric. xc90. recharged. when i lost my sight, my biggest fear was losing my independence. mmm... good. so i've spent my life developing technology to help the visuall

[applause] michael: so. [cheers and applause] michael: and every day, bernie cautions us, don't say anything, you can point out the record of our opponents. that's good. but don't trash the people that are my friends, that i work with, that we want them to come along and think about these issues in this way. and then i turned on the news this morning, and there's the dnc, the democratic national committee. [booing] michael: you know, we already have enough to fight with donald trump and these enabler republicans, and corporate america, and the banks, and wall street. that's enough on our shoulders. but the fact that i have to wake up this morning and realized that we have to fight the corporate democrats, the 1% of the democratic party who are thoroughly pissed that bernie sanders is now number one, that bernie sanders might win this primary season, that bernie sanders might be the next president of the united states! [cheers and applause] michael: they're so upset, they're like, how does this happen? bernie

goes for michael. michael shifter: what's your name? . [inaudible] what is the role of president -- going to finish his residency using his last presidency years. in the the role venezuelan case? started a diplomatic action but didn't have a successful end, so what's coming next? is very, very a , and he's trying to have pro tag nix regionally. hat's going to be his actions in this venezuelan crisis? so too thank you. ruben? >> hi. -- thanks for n the presentation. just a brief question. would be the incentive for maduro and theor hold general negotiations first and then to hold democratic elections. but i y don't see any hope to hear from you. thanks. incentives.ter: sir. >> u.s. institute -- of peace. ask president -- from the 1980s, 1990s, if there is anything that you see that was successful then that missing now and could be useful. michael shifter: thank you. a question for miguel. >> with news in d.c. wanted to ask you about bernie sanders specifically. he has rechd to label maduro a so i wanted to see what your reaction is to him

you have to pay me michael avenatti the money, not so much for the client. as an attorney you can say if i'm representing you, hey, ali should get $20 million in a settlement. you have to pay. you have to come forward. that's fine. saying tom winter says you need to pay me and not something on behalf of the client where he is jammed up here. >> thank you for your reporting on this. >>> president trump has reasons to love and hate the justice department on this valentine's day. he's likely going to love this news. two people familiar with the inquiry tell nbc news that the justice department recently opened an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the fbi's interview of this man, michael flynn, while he was still serving as national security adviser. flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements during that interview but he has recently asked to withdraw that plea. this shines new light on this. trump will likely not like this piece of news, however. the justice department will not pursue charges against this man, former fbi deputy director andrew mcca

michael bloomberg is here. vo: together they worked to combat gun violence, and again to improve education for every child. obama: i want to thank the mayor of this great city, mayor bloomberg, for his extraordinary leadership. i share your determination to bring this country together to finally make progress for the american people. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg, and i approve this message. he spent his life bringing people together. i know he'd be happy that we are all together now.

michael a: thank you. i spent the better part of the past week or two weeks trying to separate signal from noise, and that is really crucial right now. you asked whether i would still buy the equity rally. i say yes. when a look at the exit rally in the u.s., what has changed in the past few weeks? there's been a lot of noise. there's been some signals. but jobs, housing, a friendly fed, all of these things that have been in place are still in place, so yes, i still want to own the market. michael m: you've got to wonder, though, from the bond side, can you be this optimistic? we have seen yields rise, but all of a sudden, they seem capped. gene: equities are at all-time highs. treasuries are pretty much at all-time highs, too. the stock half and bond correlation really hasn't -- the stock-bond correlation really hasn't worked. it could actually go the other way. the economy is pretty good, but the market is price for it as well. michael m: there's sort of a natural ceiling there you can't break through. g

they have been going to michael bloomberg. he's got to get up there and prover he's the person we have been seeing on these ads. he's been flooding american's homes, $400 million in ads. how close is he to that person that some people have come to like and respect. i think he will have a problem in terms of he's not the necessarily the most ka -- charismatic. he comes across as wood. >> he's not used to people coming out and challenging him. the biggest problem will be him keeping his cool. he will have a lot of people ke questioning his record and motivations for being in politics nor saying some of the things he's said on racial issues. he has to keep calm. otherwise, i think things could really go sideways. i think -- but at the same time i think the bar is a bit low for him. people are expecting he will be a little rous trusty compared t other competitors. he needs to treads water tomorrow night. he needs to get through the south carolina debate and it's onto super tuesday and then we will see whether he has what it takes

michael: definitely mixed results. years ago alan greenspan was asked about this and he said we watch what consumers do and not what they say. if that is still the case, there is reason for concern. the retail sales numbers for january were a disappointment. the headline number up .3%, but the december now more -- but the december number was revised down by point 2/10. by .2%. that number goes directly into gdp and that was a real disappointment. theanged on the month and december number revised down from a .5% gain to a .2% gain. consumers may still be buying, but their enthusiasm will seem to have flagged, except for the fact that we have the university of michigan consumer sentiment numbers, a new high. now people are telling the university of michigan survey they still feel good about the economy and its prospects. which will win out? that will be the question going forward. at the same time we did see disappointing manufacturing numbers. boeing and the global slowdown hurting contraction in manufacturing again. th

going into this first debate, it was clear michael bloomberg would be a prime target. the headlines have not been kind. here are just a few, calling his performance rocky. says that he walked into a buzz saw. one even said "titanic meet iceberg." how is the bloomberg campaign looking to turn the page after last night? how are they spinning his debate performance? >> reporter: yeah, they're doing what campaigns do after a bad night, craig, which is try to find a silver lining, some positive out of this. the bloomberg campaign has been arguing he's the only one that really got a hit in on bernie sanders last night when he talked about sanders having several houses. they've also been trying to make the case that the fact that bloomberg was at the center of all of these attacks from his rivals is an indication of the fact that he is a serious candidate that everyone else is afraid of and a sign of his fortitude in the race. there's no doubt the bloomberg campaign knows this was not the performance that they wanted him to give last night. take a listen to what the campaign

how wealthy is michael bloomberg? for context, the richest of the fabled russian oligarchs is worth about $24 billion. michael bloomberg could literally give away twice that amount, or spend it on the presidential race, if you wanted, and still be five times as rich as donald trump is. it's hard to imagine just how much money that is, but with that money, bloomberg could suffocate all opposition and seize power. aa ruling class, which worships running above all, sees nothing wrong with this. they are eager to help bloomberg do it. like bloomberg, they are heligiously libertarian economic matters. that's a position that shared by only a tiny percentage of the population. no normal person inn this county thinks the widening wealth gap is a good thing. it's so obviously making america unstable, but mike bloomberg has been one of its chief beneficiaries. he will defend the current system above all else. there's a reason he is the favorite of finance moguls and tech commissars. again, this is a total departure from anythin

dukakis. >> massachusetts governor michael dukakis had said he was going for the gold. and new hampshire democrats went for him in a big way. >> he came out of there with a huge head of steam, and it really started to look like we were catching fire. >> a long race, a long race. >> dukakis had sort of burst on to the scene. >> i'm the strongest candidate against bush. i think i can take the fight to him. >> he had gone from nowhere to somewhere in a hurry, and that was worrying. >> with your help, the son of greek immigrants can seek and win the presidency of the united states. thank you all very much. >> every field office that i entered had pounds and pounds of greek food, spanakopita, moussaka. if i hadn't been 21 years old, i would have gained 40 pounds in that campaign for sure. >> tonight the race to the finish line begins. with the memory in my heart of the young man who arrived at ellis island. and how i wish he was here tonight. he would be very proud of his son. >> i was very emotional. when he talked about his father and how -- how proud he would have been of

michael flynn. but at the same time, the doj is dropping its criminal probe of a top trump target, the former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. and it's all raising more questions about barr's motives and independence a day after he went on television to deny he is doing the president's bidding. i'll be getting the reaction from senator and former prosecute doug jones and our correspondents and other guests are also standing by. including three of cnn's top legal analysts. first, two shimone. and shimone, just walk us two these developments tonight. >> it's been a very busy week here in washington, d.c. certainly with the justice department. late today, we get news that the investigation into andrew mccabe, has been dropped. the justice department, the washington u.s. attorney's office is no longer investigating. it's been about two years since andrew mccabe got into some trouble with the inspector general, who was doing an investigation on whether or not he lied during an investigation that they w

michael bloomberg is here. elizabeth understands a strong growing economy begins with a strong middle class. >> joe's candid honest counsel made me a better president in chief. and the best part, he's nowhere close to finished. >> in south carolina, a voter who switched frommed byton sanders, says, walla, barack obama, who is neutral. >> you really would not know. i have been talking to the other campaigns. this is a source of anxiety. voters are coming away from the television screens believing obama has weighed in on this race when he has not. there's nothing you can do about it. the ads are everywhere. the debate stage, i'm sure someone will bring this up tonight. that will not do the trick. especially for joe biden, a real problem for him. >> someone will criticize obama for endorsing them all. >> make a decision. >> just to show you how much his good will is within the democratic party but no way we can return to the obama way of doing this. >> i saw him at the all-star game in a panel discussion, i saw hi

elizabeth warren going at michael bloomberg. but she was not they thing most people on stage had in common is they felt it was good for them to go after michael bloomberg and have a point, have a moment at his expense. his campaign admits it wasn't the best night for him. said in the second half of it, that's when he got sea legs. this is what it is. you come into a presidential contest late, michael bloomberg was able to catch up in terms of scaling up his campaign, getting on air waves. you also have to catch up in terms of getting on debate stage, being able to defend your record. i think the other person that benefitted from the way the debate shook out last night, certainly elizabeth warren able to reinvigorate her campaign, but bernie sanders. don't forget, he is the frontrunner now, across the polls, in terms of delegates, bernie sanders is the frontrunner. what we saw last night on stage was michael bloomberg taking most of the fire and focus a frontrunner would typically take, which means sanders got off probably easier

amy: that was michael bloomberg speaking last night in charleston. he made this same claim during last week's democratic debate in las vegas, saying he had put out his tax return every year for 12 years in city hall. well, our next guest says he has the proverbial receipts to prove this is not true. bob hennelly is an award-winning reporter for the chief-leader. he covered billionaire michael bloomberg during his time as mayor. all three terms. at that time, bob hennelly was a reporter for wnyc, new york's main public radio station. in 2012, he had this exchange with bloomberg after a press conference. >> why will he disclose what you actually physically pay in terms of federal taxes? >> there's no reason to. we have categories and i have a personal life. the accountants will tell you i pay 100% of my taxes. i don't have tax shelters in the context you would talk about it. i pay what i'm am supposed to pay. thearn money all around world. amy: for more, we're joined in new york by reporter bob hennelly. you heard in that clip. what is wrong here? >> i

yes, michael is right. you put yourself in a position, and you don't even have to have trillions or billions, and you are surrounded by yes people because nobody says to you, that is stupid, mr bloomberg, that is not going to wash. that is the problem with courts and courtiers. we have one here, we have a courtier. we'll come back to that. but do you think it is really that people don't say it or is that you don't listen because you are confident of your own...? i think people are probably worried, he is obviously a temperamental man. things he said about women, not covered by the nda, you know, he has talked about horse—faced lesbians and fat broads and in a sense he is the democratic face of trumpism. i can see why he thinks he can do it. i think it is all very disturbing. what i worry about and i have heard young people, young democrats, wondering about, you know, why is this man running? because what they are saying is he is buying his way into american politics. he is buying his way into becoming the

michael: that is one big part of this. i think the other thing, too, they're not sure about the progression of the disease. you can see it is spreading, but but how badly will it get and how quickly? they don't know. we don't know. and i suspect a lot of the public health officials are just making educated guesses. in that backdrop, we are not sure how this evolves over the next month or two. it is a pretty tough thing to as the fed or any other big central bank to step in right now. jonathan: deep into the unknown. the front and yield is coming down 12 basis points. victoria, it is interesting to me. we have not seen a central bank official at the fed suggest we are going to rate cut anytime soon. then the market bids down the front end a little bit more. every time they don't lean into this, i think it is a market saying the longer you wait, the more you're going to have to do. would that be your take, too? victoria: you know, the market has been driving a lot of fed action over the last 12, 18 months. we see the fed com

michael bloomberg is dominating the airwaves. but you are right, i don't know where the energy is pore michaer michael bloomberg. but we'll have a nominee by the end of march. 60% of the delegates. we'll have a shot of the figuring out hot last two or three candidates will be. chris: is bernie sanders a suicide pact? >> bernie sanders is a strong viable candidate with a lot of support out there. chris: do you think he can legitimately beat donald trump? >> i'm not there yet because i'm not sure he will be the nominee. chris: up next our power player of the week. he's known for merging punk with piano. now he's trying to bring a new union between classical and pop. - [announcer] as america's veterans face challenges dav is there. dav helps veterans and their families get the benefits they've earned. support more victories for veterans, go to dav.org. chris: it's a constant task for symphony orchestras, how to bring in new fans without alienating the diehard. >> there seems to be a hierarchy that you would think exists with the sym

. >> michael, it's good to see you. >> michael avenatti. >> stormy daniels' attorney michael oppen 90 says that trump's defenders should be worried. >> now that he's crash and burn and exposed, they are licking their wounds after being exposed as a total fraud. >> that was stupid on my part. what do you make about how avenatti was covered by cnn and msnbc? >> it would've been weird to not take him seriously. i feel kind of snickered because i took him seriously. he did represent stormy daniels and i think in retrospect her legal strategy was kind of insane. >> sean: pour hum de! he was taking him seriously as a potential candidate. anyway, the 2 24/7 trump hating press hoping that this gets all glazed over like all of their other massive scrubs and conspiracy theories and lies and slanders. how much did for gnu c that kid nicholas sandmann? i bet a lot of money. our friend piers morgan after cnn tweeted, a lot of egg a lot of cable news programs, avenatti was a baseball but they pulled them up like he was as the number one show across the pond in the morning, i watch your show. your s

michael bloomberg is here. vo: together they worked to combat gun violence, and again to improve education for every child. obama: i want to thank the mayor of this great city, mayor bloomberg, for his extraordinary leadership. i share your determination to bring this country together to finally make progress for the american people. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg, and i approve this message. like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. so my doctor said... symbicort can help you breathe better-starting within 5 minutes. it doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. it may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. symbicort could mean a day with better breathing

with michael bloomberg, too, there's two ways to go. hurt them and take them back to gravity comes into play and takes them down or it can elevate them. i agree with you and any press is good press and a lot of press for bloomberg tonight. >> i'm curious. have the candidates mentioned there's a debate next week, too? look. i think i like our debate to be the single most important debate. >> isn't it? >> okay. hard stop. but it seems as if, you know, if you have one strategy that you're thinking you test one this week, might do another one noex week, have you gotten a sense from the candidates they realize this is maybe a two parter? >> i feel like for mike and i maybe our candidates are taking it warren and biden very week by week. this debate night is i think higher stakes for her than it's ever been because nevada she needs to show that she still has energy here. >> she has to something to pop here? >> yeah. i think that tonight that's it. like the debate stage next week is its own thing. >> for sanders, you can extend it beyond the d

bending the debate rules to let in billionaire michael bloomberg. amidst growing angst of the new york city mayor may be the only hope to prevent a blot loss to president trump. i'm ed henry. this is "the story." to declare today that democratic officials are again rigging the system t take the nomination away from bernie sanders a second time. as democrats grow

we know bernie sanders is in the ao stem michael bloomberg's game. michael bloomberg's got make a big splash on to tonight because first impressions are going to count. what is success looking look like for elizabeth warren? tied in third place in polling nationwide and yet you might think from listening to news coverage she is out of the race. >> reporter: yeah. i think the campaign is very much aware of that kind of news coverage but i think what i'm hearing from them and frankly from senator elizabeth warren is that she's just going to go forward into tonight and do the best that she can on the debate stage. when you think about who she is trying to stop or who she is trying to go after, an outside adviser said shesz someone who tends to pick smart fights, not every fight. bloomberg is a perfect foil for warren and bernie sanders and regularly rails against the billionaire class and of course it makes sense to go after bloomberg an seen her drawing contrasts with bernie sanders this week because if you look at when's at the top of the polls you ha

i mean, sorry, michael. >> i was asking michael, but -- >> go ahead. >> again, real quick, let michael go. in both directions you've got to pack it up at some point. >> i agree with that. i think you're right about that, katy. there is that effort to sort of reset the playing field going into this fall's election, and they're scrambling to do that as best and cleanly as they can. part of barr getting out there and saying what he said is kind of telling the president, could you put the twitter down? because you're helping the inside game? >> michael steele, happy to have you. doug berns, thank you as well. >> my pleasure. >>> coming up, most powerful cul nary union announced it will not endorse anyone. >>> plus could michael bloomberg change the entire 2020 race in his favor with his billions alone. >>> but first breaking news, the u.s. and taliban have reached a temporary peace agreement in afghanistan. what does that mean for our nation's longest war? what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over

it will be a blowout michael dukakis. i was very discouraged with what i saw as a democrat and somebody who wants the party to win in november. >> stunned by your answer so far. your thoughts on who won the night and who lost. >> for all the reasons leslie and doug say i was very pleased. i agree with your analysis. bernie sanders was the winner of the night because he was the front-runner going in and nothing happened that knocked him off of his frontrunner status. if anything the guy giving him the most potential competition was michael bloomberg with $2 billion ready to burn and he had a flame out. what a disaster. it reminded me of when jeb bush in the 2016 campaign wasn't ready for the question about the iraq war. how could you not see that coming? how could you not have that prepared? he wasn't ready for the question about women, wasn't ready to answer about stop and frisk, like he hadn't prepared and you only get one chance to make a first impression. he has a lot of money. you can't count about but that was a deva

rob: that will take aim at michael bloomberg. jillian: griff jenkins joins us with highlights from the campaign trail. >> i'm staying at the hotel, i'm terrible at the casinos. i digress, they are not rolling out the welcome mat for michael bloomberg. bloomberg along with sanders, warren, buttigieg, klobuchar and biden. any doubt the knives were out for bloomberg, listen to elizabeth for net latest tweet. it is a shame michael bloomberg could buy his way into the debate. primary voters curious how each candidate will take on donald trump get a live demonstration of how we each take on an egomaniac billionaire. bloomberg's name coming up last night in that townhall with candidates asked if they would consider taking a bloomberg's money should they become the nominee. watch. >> if nominated would you help a billionaire like bloomberg? >> our contribution is average contribution all of $18.50. >> i was asking, $500 million left over to give to you would you accept that? >> if mister bloomberg wins and i hope he does not i will suppo

the difference this time around is mayor michael bloomberg. you can tell bloomberg is much more of a natural foil for him than compared to mayor pete buttigieg or vice president biden and is a person he's willing to go after. listen here. >> so here is the message, anybody here worth $60 billion, you can run for president and you can buy the airwaves. my friends, that is called oligarchy, not democracy. >> reporter: sanders was kind of making fun of the situation in that bite there but he's made clear in the past there are other areas he plans to go after mayor bloomberg on, stop and frisk and the impact that has had on the african-american and latino community, especially in new york city. he plan foss go after him on bloomberg's previous oppositions to increases in the minimum wage and openness and willingness to cut programs like social security and medicare and medica medicaid. those are areas we've heard from sanders before that he's had to defend and talk about before on the debate stage. it's clear the campaign is ready toaybe bloomberg

ad, where everybody who opens up instagram sees a michael bloomberg ad or facebook sees a michael bloomberg ad or they're near a rally and see everyone walking around with mike bloomberg t-shirts given to them by the michael bloomberg campaign, how do you, in these individual states, go out there, especially on super tuesday when it's as many states at once, and compete on that same level? >> anyone who is concerned with an oligarch becoming president, anyone who is concerned with the fact that michael bloomberg has spent more than every candidate in this race, every nonbillionaire candidate in this race combined on advertisements should be thrilled the fact that in bernie sanders we have a candidate that has that organic support that michael bloomberg is spending so much money to pay for. with bernie sanders, you have record crowd sizes, including the crowd we just had in washington state last night, with over 17,000 people in attendance. you have grass roots enthusiasm. you have volunteers coming out at record numbers. you have people, yes, posting and creating organic memes in support of

michael: i think yes. there will be people who will be -- made untilny they come to for russian. -- fruition. things are mainly suspect. francine: the board is still looking for a new ceo. who ideally will be in charge of this bank? michael: probably not someone from within and i'm not sure of who the outside candidates are. i would hope they would have challenge come in and the whole business plan and say, it is 2020, we have made mistakes, how can we get this right? what can we do? i look at hsbc time and time again. have you been surprised there haven't been mergers? credit suisse with the mess they are in, they have not been able to do transactions across borders. michael: it reminds me about the cliche about the merger of these two people would be like two drowning people grabbing onto each other in the water and going down together. tom: michael holland with much more. with our first word news in new york. viviana: the u.k. is making it clear negotiations with the e.u. will not be easy. boris johnson

michael: looking at the u.s. perspective, you get at least a little bit of a view in terms of supply chain disruptions. look at market responses to ism, probably number three or four in terms of data points. probably should get more weight than people give to it. jonathan: that was the inflation -- the inflection point last friday when we got the services emi that came in soft and i think that shook the confidence some people have that the u.s. would be resilient to a lot of what is happening in the global economy. what are you looking for in the ism next week and payroll next friday? victoria: we think we will continue to get decent numbers coming in. ism potentially trough to in september. we are looking for those numbers to move a little bit higher. i think we are going to have some feedthrough from coronavirus and the manufacturing and supply chain issues in china, so i would not be surprised to see manufacturing numbers come down a little bit. but we don't want to see the services number continue to fall. jo
