talking about how angry they are about the policies, they are talking about a change in government that was because of death of a doctor who was the whistleblower, right now xi jinping is under pressure. maria: that's what i'm saying and i'm wondering -- when does it become enough pressure to actually push him out in terms of being dictator for life because a lot of people tell me that this country has gotten even more authoritarian after xi jinping, they started cracking down on anyone's independence in terms of tracking citizens. >> even before the outbreak of the coronavirus, you had the social criticism, you give everyone a score over all behavior. maria: if they don't like the fact that you smoke, maybe at the end of the year you won't get a ticket to travel on the train. >> jaywalking --

dropouts people never really had a shot the mess that wasi away nobody directed to dropped out so inconclusive when do you think we start seeing that. >> look, me personally i think again democrats faced a permanent dilemma worse than republicans faced in 2016, amy klobuchar, i kind of think is akin to somebody like john kasich overperformed in place like new hampshire at the same time doesn't have the time or the resources to build up that infrastructure, nationwide, somebody again who you know, like elizabeth warren believed she can make a last stand on super tuesday includes her home state akin to somebody like marco rubio. >> it seems overstatement here is what is happening we give up a portion of delegates we believe our party huge big tent to sit here say bernie sanders pete frontrunners where bernie and pete have problems with voterss a large population black voters have not cast a ballot a large

population of latins have not cast a ballot hard to say either is fronted runner there is a bloomberg factor has to get in doesn't get on ballot till super tuesday. >> is if a big tent. >> what is the big tent i feel like they all have the same policies i will raise taxes want big government programs, they want the green deal they want to give illegals drivers' licenses what is the big tent? where is this at no time i keep hearing about i don't see it. >> when it's comes to ideas we all believe somehow expanding everybody's efforts to health care methodologies to i did not pete buttigieg wands to fanned affordable air cataract bernie sanders wands "medicare for all" folks believe best way to solve environmental woes working in the system with businesses to get it done sort of plan mayor pete as well as joe biden as well as bloomberg giving you versus "green new deal" bernie sanders is giving you we are a part of diversity in people we have african americans lgbtq

folks. maria: dagen jump in. dagen: enjoying to bring up abc poll in terms of black voters people of color how it is and sanders picking up steam, joe biden -- but i need to correct you on something amy klobuchar is not john kasich klobuchar is a very positive candidate one of the reasons performed well in new hampshire her appearance when on the debate stage, john kasich is more like bloomberg a big old grump that was a huge problem just had this look on face ihats wrong? and, but quickly richard this is abc poll, that langer research did for television networks, and found that biden's support among blacks i fully con cede states with people of color have not gone to polls yet support among black voters declined from 51% last month to 32% now, overall

nonwhite voters accounts for half all democrats democratic wleeng independents have gone from 35 to 28% biden, sanders last month 35%, 22%, sanders-biden so split. >> i think has split one of the reasons it split the fact that everybody sees bern having momentum that being said i think your point is right to point out many voters went to polls none have voted if you look at intofrmths, into? a. do matter in democratic primary, biden has few endorsements from black being elected about about officials very, very early. maria: endorsement isbreakbreak intoefg michael bloomberg he is all over his commercials. >> barack obama you can't just used sound booits of barack obama without check right. >> nobody else used barack obama the way michael

bloomberg has used barack obama in ads all over ad so that i think that is a something that you should -- ask president about if talking about obama will tell you barack obama de facto leaders last popular he go elected president. >> how come not subordinativing anybody. >> he is leader of the party going to wait the democrats take white house -- >> the black vote for president trump going up we had somebody on "sunday morning futures" said 36% in some polls in if you are talking about what is going on with african american community democratic pundits for years almost about to years he telling us joe biden had this firewall in south carolina, forget clintons had nearly two decades good will with african american community took third place fsh in iowa for fire wall to melt i think looking at something what happened with joe biden i say again a fourth-place finish followed by 5th place black voters not a monolith when you look at majority all

african american voters number one criteria obviously, their only criterion who can go toe-to-toe with donald trump. dagen: black voters in clintons what was being said, by bill clinton and even hillary clinton duringuring 2008 when she was running for nominations against barack obama she said they asked why she wouldn't drop out she essentially aloud to do robert kennedy's assassination, that was that sticks in memory of -- many people in this country. maria: talking about hillary clinton collapse i am not talking about 2008 i am talking how she finishes third plays in iowa the front runer against by the time to south carolina, barack obama is going around i think that is because, again, when you look at older african american voters they are looking for somebody can win why you see the -- >> the reason in south carolina, bernie is not leading, south carolina what you see black voters are for from -- conscious of this country conscious of democratic partied going to

look at every voter look over once look over stwiz look over three times think which candidate most likely to win when candidate most likely independents to give donald trump best run -- >> i can tell you right now, i could guarantee bernie sanders will have a hard time in south carolina. >> the point is you have so many delegates what you see the window very large for african american voets what it doesn't include socialism. >> i am glad you you brought up socialism -- he proportion delegation as much as you say bernie a front-runner what you have in this this delegate race pete buttigieg -- >> that isn't the point. >> it is. >> no, it does matter if talking about right now of democrats faith a scenario. >> you want to do -- >> for me could be gravy looking at scenario bernie sanders wakes into the town because bernie sanders walks into positive the. >> how does bernie sanders do -- >> hold on don't interrupt.

>> -- >> go ahead, go ahead bernie sanders walked into convention most delegates has not cleared threshold walks out without nomination quite possible same way how soon we forget republicans even up until before president trump closed nomination trying to find way to make sure he was not he nominee if bernie walks into convention without nomination walking without the nomination all hell is going to break loose. >> to some believe because markets at railroad highs seeing rally underway j.p. morgan report part of the reason is because bernie is in the lead, they feel bernie there is demo way he can beat donald trump. so that is is why the markets are rallying that the policies stay in place of donald trump, what is your characterization of the african american vote for president trump. >> i think look right now president trump, he doesn't have to get 50% doesn't have to get 99% we talk about that in hyperbolic terms at the end

of the day if you can shave off few points with african american males again i think twofold because not only is we are talking african american votes we are talking about if fact you have stocker moez not black mothers going to their -- you know book club about meetings look back in black unemployment giving nonblack voters ammunition to talk about record low unemployment talking about all different things as well. dagen: i want to hear what richard -- >> look i think that there is an opportunity and i think what you see trump campaign doing i think digit bye after african american men one democratic party has outreach towards african american men we've got to do better with that said i think for trump campaign to win election they have to take off 2, to % i think won 10% last election he has to do work has to be more than look at unemployment rate

has to build african american voters -- >> when you say more than unemployment what they are reacting to in my view are policies, it is the policies of creating opportunities for different -- >> i think. >> community, than the prison reform all this stuff. >> democrats do have -- to answer to these six million jobs are real they pretend not real those are real families, four years ago now the africans put food on table as long as they kept -- can't -- refuse to acknowledge reality talking about somehow it is the -- obama economy i am still old enough to remember it would be. >> one -- >> if you say the economy is not going well then you can't have barack obama saying the economy is going well, because of me. >> no, i think i give president high marks on economy i think for black voters they are voting own more than just economy i think voted on issues what is happening in the local communities, i think they are voting on what is happening in

the criminal justice system. maria: those two things exactly what the president is doing -- >> far beyond just president's i -- i think communities of color how they do of playing planning voter is not monopolistic voting a formula to get that vote if president wants this vote he can get it has to really understand the formula has to go after it more than saying unemployment rate. >> pete buttigieg has to talk about that in his -- >> i agree. dagen: his -- mayorship in -- o. >> at a buttigieg and bernie sanders have a problem with they are throwing policy preparations. >> you've got -- not having a real conversation you got bloomberg aftermath of very own access hollywood meltdown again talk about throwing against the wall turns out when you have all individuals who are offended by locker room talk of president trump suddenly they have gone mute when it comes to accusations against michael bloomberg. >> i talking about.

>> i talked about it i am not talking by personally but was very -- very. >> we have. >> the polling numbers suggest there are many africanmen voters willing to hold nose if they believe he can deliver victory. >> we will see great conversation lively we eshprit richard fowler, joseph please come back soon groupon on sale for sure the stock taking a big hit on weak earnings plans to drop he promotions foro 2.15 30% sell-off. >> tesla shares speeding higher up 27% we tell you why right after this. ♪ ♪ you might as well be wealthy ♪ ♪ ♪
