and why we are going to defeat the most dangerous president in the modern history of america. >> we are for core democratic values. >> i will be damned if i stand by we lose this country to donald trump a second time. let's get up and take back this country and take it back now! neil: like a james cagney moment. i will be damned -- hillary vaughn is in nashua new hampshire. hillary. reporter: bernie sanders closed his final campaign stop, with a record turnout, 5700 people turned out for sanders. largest turnout for any 2020 democrat in the granite state. he targeted two of his opponents, former vice president joe guiden and mayor pete bite beauty. not to back candidates backed by billionaires like them. some new hampshire are not afraid of billionaires because michael bloomberg won the most votes in dixville, notch, a small town with handful of voters that tallies their vote every primary amid night before most polls open. two of the four democrats in dixville notch wrote in michael bloomberg because he wasn't even on the ballot. two other towns tallied their votes at midnight. senator amy klobuchar snatched the lead. candidates are popping up in polling places around the state squeezing in last minute face time with voters. >> but i am -- [cheering] >> locations in northern new hampshire. everywhere in the state. >> after that event. we are fired up. >> you get to go in and vote. >> vote for me. >> i got the best chance of beating donald trump because i will bring this party together. reporter: while other candidates are getting in final seconds with voters, joe biden is ditching his victory party tonight here in new hampshire and headed to south carolina instead. >> what does it say but leaving tonight? >> it says i'm going to south carolina, that is what it says. >> what do you say for somebody who might not have voted yet today in the state and is thinking you know, biden doesn't even -- >> i don't think they think that. we'll find out. reporter: biden instead will be live streaming with supporters here in new hampshire but in an hour 1/2, senator elizabeth warren will be showing up live here in person to talk to voters on their way into this polling stop. neil? neil: i would imagine, hillary, live stream something not really the same as seeing them. we'll see how that works out. that is surprising. hillary vaughn, thank you very much. independent young voters, economy could all play into who ultimately gets sorted out in the new pecking order after results are in. to "daily caller" editorial director vince coglianese, and commentator rashad ritchie. what do you make of the former vice president hightailing it out of town maybe for the safer confines of south carolina. bad timing, what do you think? >> he knows i will not win or do very well or win in new hampshire. he better go to south carolina he needs to show big in a state, a primary, that represents diversity more so of america. remember new hampshire, based on the last census data has only 1.1% african-american population. let's stop talking about who wins new hampshire and who comes in second or third. really doesn't matter if you don't get over 15%. joe biden will not get over 15% in new hampshire. in order to get any delegates statewide or based on the two congressional districts, you have to get over 15% of the popular vote. he won't get that. he knows that. he is moving on. he can spin it how he wants to. that is the bottom line of politics in the democratic primary. neil: i suspect you're right about the numbers, rashad, but vince, i'm arguing it become as self-fulfilling prophecy. you don't do well in new hampshire. you exit new hampshire. put all your eggs in more potentially promising south carolina basket and that doesn't deliver. he would not be the first candidate to set his sights elsewhere to be brutally disappointed. what do you think? >> i think joe biden is already undergoing a series of disappointments. to leave iowa, calling eight gut punch in iowa, now canceling his victory party. he is downplaying expectations as it plays out this is big state for couple candidates. elizabeth warren used to have support in the state, seems like she slip ad lot. she is from new england, plays an important role in new hampshire the looks like she will get her tail kicked by bernie sanders. i can't see a path for elizabeth warren beyond this state. she may honk a bit. eventually we're looking at the collapse of warren campaign and insurgent growth from those supporters to the bernie sanders campaign. neil: rao shaud, you said something about african-american vote, everything you say is interesting, i didn't mean to spite those remarks, some polls indicate african-american support for the former vice president is cratering i don't know how reliable that is, having said that, where will the vote migrate, what do you think? >> a according to the a lot of data many african-american supporters who believe the number one reason to support a candidate right now is their ilecability to defeat trump, they're actually looking at bloomberg who is not even on the ballot yet. as you know a recent poll came out, neil, shows bloomberg now based on polling data has more african-american support than bernie sanders. he is not even on the ballot as of yet. so a lot of people are saying, even on my radio program, hey, if biden isn't the guy, we're looking at bloomberg. even with bloomberg's history of race discrimination, comments he made on the record and his stance on the exonerated central park five. seems if the sentiment to defeat trump is stronger than the emotional connection to some of these very insensitive things he has done and policies frankly he has created. neil: they're still out there, especially, vince, with the emergence of this tape which he you know, mentioned the benefits of very aggressive "stop-and-frisk" policy he since disavowed. will it come back to haunt him? what are your thoughts. it is haunting him today. there is clearly opposition research got dumped out today in light of fact he is doing so well among black voters in the latest polling. whoever released that is looking to stop that. they want to stop the momentum for him. it is aggressive. he says why do we send cops into minority communities? that is where the crime is. we grab the guys, throw them up against the wall and frisk them. that is pretty tough language. >> shameful. >> that could short-circuit a candidate. neil: sands are clearly shifting beneath the political feet so to speak. we have former fed advisor danielle dimartino. we ask why a former fed advisor weighs in on this. because of the money plans. you've been fairly critical of both parties of aggressive spending an piling on debt. namely the front-runner democratic party, bernie sanders will not make bond traders feel good but i guess it is shades of gray here. what do you think? >> well, look, i think that right now the bond and stock market are disregarding completely the idea of a sanders nomination because of the message that we're getting right now, is showing that they're agnostic. as long as sanders gets the nomination, i think the stock and bond market will both hang in there. there is this presumption that there is no way that he can win a general election. again at least as far as what the stock market is communicating right now. neil: markets can be wrong. consensus can be wrong. there was the same hope, i certainly remember, you and i both remember about the excitement democrats had at the prospect of republicans nominating donald trump. that they could squish him like a bug. i could remember very well, probably giving my age, how the carter folks desperately wanted to see ronald reagan get the nomination. they were worried after the iowa caucuses in 1980, when george bush, sr., won them surprisingly. they thought they would have a much tougher battle with him. we know how that turned out. are republican markets doing the jig here in prospect of a bernie sanders nomination before they really should? >> that's a really good question, neil because at last check, 2020 is the year of the baton hand-off demographically between baby boomers and millenials and this is the first year that millenials are going to out number boomers, if they get out the young vote. and young voters are determined to get social programs, the likes of which sanders is advocating for, i think markets could indeed be presumptuous and prematurely attaching too much weight to a trump win. neil: you know, danielle, if you want to ask a market question, indulge me right now, we were well up appreciably, well into record territory for the dow. then we had the news out of boeing, that boeing news surprised people, no net new orders in january. that worried people, obviously it is cold, become its own virus, its own flu that shows no end. it seems nicely with the selloff that ensued later on. as did cautious comments out of the federal reserve. when you hear what jerome powell is saying up on capitol hill, that he is watching the virus fallout, i'm wondering where all of this goes? i apologize. we lost her. i thought we had problems yesterday in new hampshire. we just piled them on today. so i apologize for that. interesting development. we can go back to the chart, guys, not to lee babe bore it. it interesting people figuring out how we go up a hundred to barely up at all. there are a lot of catalysts. some attribute to what jerome powell chief on capitol hill. charlie brady, follows this stuff closely, timing of the boeing news was not really that favorable. when doesn't have new orders it worries folks that you ever will. that times nicely with boeing, what happened with the rest of the dow. more after this, including a preview to our coming attractions tonight. remember 8:00 p.m. fox business coverage looks off with a look what is at stake in new hampshire. how it could pave the way for what happens after new hampshire as the candidates move on. we'll follow foreign market reaction and our futures market to reaction there if you think we follow developments in this country, you would be stunned how closely they are foul following developments around the world you're watching fox business. available to answer your toughest questions. and i see it with zero commissions on online trades. i like what you're seeing. it's beautiful, isn't it?

reporter: neil, of the 200 you mentioned, we expect 175 will be allowed to go home. they will be taken by van or bus from the march air force base where i am to the local port or lax. others are trying to make their flight reservations out. this was the first plane load of people evacuated from china about two weeks ago. the cdc said any patient with the virus would have shown symptoms between day two and day 14 with exposure. means everyone has a clean bill of health. no virus and not a carrier. >> we're in more of a maintenance and operation mode and we're trying to make them comfortable. we're trying to make sure that we do the appropriate monitoring. reporter: so the evacuees here basically all state department employees. two children did develop fevers but they tested negative. however a nearby marine corps base in miramar, san diego, a different story. one individual is testing positive for the virus. she has been hospitalized, bringing to total 13 in the u.s. with the virus. experts were concerned because she was clean for six days before showing any symptoms. that underscores why the cdc protocols are so important. here is some video that was shot by a person at miramar. we skypeed with him yesterday. he said everyone is housessed alone, they eat alone, they wear masks keep a dance of six feet to reduce the risk of contagion. >> we're trying to get more information especially about you know, the transmission. because we are still having people being checked in the hospital. there are for my friend and family in china, trying to get them the correct information. reporter: so yulin we spoke to him. he expressed a lot of gratitude, to the administration, to the congressional delegation for getting him out when they did. a total, neil, about 800 americans are permanent residents have been evacuated. half a dozen flights. they will be let out over the next week, week 1/2, if again they test negative. back to you. neil: thank you, my friend, very, very much. the president says he is still confident china can and will get a handle on this. >> i think china is very professionally run, in the sense they have everything under control. i think at the will have under control fairly soon. in april, supposedly it dies with the hotter weather. neil: that is the hope anyway. can this get better by then? webmd chief medical officer dr. john white. doctor, if you indulge, as you usually do my medical ignorance, why is warmer weather a welcome development with dealing with a virus like this? >> coronavirus is a respiratory virus, like all respiratory virus, flu is one of those, we see them decrease in the spring. the reality we transmit viruses by sneezing, touching our eyes, touching our nose, with other things. more less a sense of cough and runny nose that typically occur in the springtime, there is less transmission. that is common with respiratory virus. neil: got it. if you look at the cases. we're over 1000 deaths. it is up to 2 1/2% cases resulted in the death, case of sars it was 10%. that has been steadily climbing. it started out at 1.1%. then it hit 1 1/2 to two, as i indicated, 2 1/2%, does it worry you? >> part of the challenge we don't know the real denominator. we're looking at cases that are probably the most serious but it is a country of over one billion people. how many patients are we actually not seeing because their symptoms aren't severe, they're not going to the doctor? even though we might be climbing to 1% or 2%, it actually might be less than that when we consider the total number of people infected. neil: so, go ahead. >> i'm concerned about it but i'm not overly worried. this is something that we need to watch. neil: obviously in china it is a big worry. it has driven that economy to a halt. people even when allowed to, those quarantined within these sick cities, totally more than 60 million individuals to go back out to do their normal thing, they're not doing it. they're staying hunkered down indoors. what risk does that pose, leaving the economic ones aside? >> it is a real risk. we see that also in any type of epidemic. we want people to stay home. we don't want presentism. we don't want people coming to work sick or because they don't have time off or they feel they're that sick. as long as folks are staying inside, not having contact with other people, potentially exposing them, it is a hard thing to do quarantine. it is a hard thing to do, to stay at home. but it is actually the safest strategy that needs to be implemented. neil: doctor, thank you very, very much. and we always rely on your expertise calming expert trees. the whole nation needs to see when we see what is happening over there to put some of the doctor's issues in perspective and the type of impact it is having on companies always, hasbro, mattel, toymakers, since over half of their stuff is made there in china, they expect a delay in shipments. that looks almost definite right now. under armour expects it will have shipping delays as well. we've seen of the fortune 500 companies, better than 300 have now cited some exposure to this region that could impact their respective bottom lines. so sometimes when just outlining that as a potential for that, people sell on that. though not as aggressively as we've seen in the past. we'll see. this is new hampshire primary day. michael bloomberg is gaining momentum. could past comment come to light stop him right in his tracks, after this. of careful construction... infinite "what ifs?" and contingency plans. creating funds that help target gaps in client portfolios. tap untapped potential. and strengthen confidence in you. flexshares. powered by over a century of investment expertise before investing consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. go to flexshares.com for a prospectus containing this information. read it carefully. for a prospectus containing this information. i am not for ignoring the first sign of a cold. i am for shortening my cold, with zicam! zicam is completely different. unlike most other cold medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal. it's a masterstroke of heartache and redemption. the lexus nx. modern utility for modern obstacles. lease the 2020 nx 300 for $359 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. neil: want to pass along the story that the fec is looking to examine past acquisitions by some of the biggest technology companies, among them amazon, apple, facebook and microsoft. i don't know exactly where all of these issues were prior to this news flash. they haven't moved appreciably. amazon had been up north of 50 bucks earlier. now about $38. alphabet, google fame, that had been up double digits, up more than $8 a share. apple had been trading close to even money all day today. it had a appreciable runup over the last couple of weeks. facebook was negative from the get-go today, so i don't know if that is an appreciable change there. microsoft, even money as well. but whether this takes muster and they start looking into past acquisitions these companies have had, particularly microsoft, alphabet, maybe a lesser extent, amazon, that will be a little unnerving, but we'll see. so far not dramatically unnerving. really unnerving because it was really legitimate fear, some people realize today, boeing taking a hit on concerns that the company isn't really getting new plane orders. that in the month of january, it was zilch, the worst it has seen since 1962. that of course is a key dow component. it took us well off our highs earlier in the day. we're still up about 35 bucks on the dow but boeing ain't helping matters any. susan li is following that at the new york stock exchange. hey, susan. susan: did the math on that, 1962, is that close to 60 years ago? the only month boeing said they did not sell one of their 737s. the 737 max has been grounded since last year. boeing helped lift the dow yesterday on news maybe that the 737 certification flights might be taking place the next few weeks that would be encouraging because it is ahead of schedule. you heard there are no new orders for the 737 max despite the fact we have a new boeing ceo. the stock has been recovering in the year 2020. the stocks we're watching involved in the gig economy. notably uber and door dash. after a california judge said yesterday she is not going to issue a temporary injunction against a california worker law which is called ab-5. this is what you, would have characterized some of these freelancers and contractors as employees instead. you have to pay out benefits over time and 120% of the minimum wage. uber and postmates were looking to fight for a temporary injunction at least, as you see these companies are most affected. uber came out with the same, not happy as you can imagine with the ruling yesterday, they passed ab-five using biased and overt political process ignored workers most affected by the law. instead uber is joining forces with the other countries looking for a ballot measure in november to help stem ab5. maybe they can repeal it somehow. uber by the way said, they are factoring in the fact that the regulatory environment will not change from today. meaning ab 5 will not affect recharacterization of their drivers and their license will not expire and taken away. uber said they will get to profitability ahead of schedule in the fourth quarter this year instead of 2021. that sets the stage for lyft which reports earnings after the bell. lyft because of how well uber did, which beat consensus estimate, lyft is doing as well. i will speak to the cfo later on today. lyft has lots of room. they say they will get to profitability in the year 2021. the market is looking something a little bit like uber. maybe they get to that profitability point with expenses this year instead. back to you. neil: susan, thank you very much. as susan was speaking i getting more details on the fec investigation. i don't know if this is a fishing expedition, looking at five companies and their acquisitions what i didn't realize these go back all the way to 2010, 2010 through december 31st through 2019. and whether these were reported accurately and fairly. the ftc wants to look at documents on the terms, scope, structure and purpose of the transactions. again in some cases going back 10 years. now the impact on these stocks has been minimal. hasn't moved it much one way or the other. nasdaq is in record territory. moist of the key issues, at least three of the five are up. those that were down, had been down earlier, i don't know to the degree which sold off even more or some of these companies are so positive we'll have much more positive. bottom line, this is sweeping examination that goes back a decade. more after this. their medicare options...ere people go to learn about before they're on medicare. come on in. you're turning 65 soon? yep. and you're retiring at 67? that's the plan! well, you've come to the right place. it's also a great time to learn about an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. here's why... medicare part b doesn't pay for everything. only about 80% of your medical costs. this part is up to you... yeah, everyone's a little surprised to learn that one. a medicare supplement plan helps pay for some of what medicare doesn't. that could help cut down on those out-of-your-pocket medical costs. call unitedhealthcare insurance company today... to request this free, and very helpful, decision guide. and learn about the only medicare supplement plans endorsed by aarp. selected for meeting their high standards of quality and service. this type of plan lets you say "yes" to any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients. there are no networks or referrals to worry about. do you accept medicare patients?

reporter: what independent voters in this state, they are known for that, they know that a lot of their neighbors, their families, their friends, independent voters or voters making up their minds at the last minute. a lot of them show up here to the polling stations with signs, trying to be the last thing people see before they walk in, whether for warren, biden, klobuchar or buttigieg. we've seen supporters from all the major candidates at this polling location today. three candidates come to the polling location. the biggest names, senator amy klobuchar. she came here around 7:00 a.m., greet ad number of her support is lined up waiting outside in the snow. klobuchar started to jump in the polls yesterday in a big way, but the only poll that matters is the poll on election day. we have spoken to a lot of people over the last few days, the last week, trying to decide on two or three of their top candidates. new hampshire unlike iowa, has a primary, not a caucus. people are out at regular polling locations like this one. unless they tell us they do not know who they vote for. new hampshire has a mixed primary system, who is declared member of their party's primary, but undeclared voters. independent voters, there are a lot of them as i said, over 40% in this state. they can vote either party's primary. there is some of what we heard from voters in and out of the polling locations throughout the day. >> i just decided after the debate. >> really. what about that changed your mind? >> who were you leaning towards then? >> i was leaning towards pete. i think she has got more of a chance. >> i voted early. i vote abt, anything but trump. i always voted ideas. i used to be a republican but, my ideas have never changed, the parties have changed. reporter: that first voter was talking about senator amy klobuchar. that last debate she said was a big turning point for her. the new hampshire secretary of state expects 420,000 voters to show up at the polls today. neil: ellison, great report as always. the president has has been ripping michael bloomberg over his pass defense over the "stop-and-frisk" policy. blake blake burman with the very latest. blake? reporter: first-in-the-nation primary day you saw from ellison there. the trump campaign is not focusing on any candidates there in new hampshire. they're focusing on one of the candidates who is not even on the ballot there at all, that of course being michael bloomberg. the focus on comment put out today, comments that michael bloomberg made to the aspen institute in 2015 which he staunchly defended the stop-and-frisk policing tactics that he backed during his time at new york city mayor. here is the sequence of events from earlier today. president trump after the audio leak, took to twitter, wrote, bloomberg is a total racist. but then the president deleted that tweet but the president's campaign manager, brad parse sails doubled down, #bloomberg is a racist. par scale tweeted this video. all the money in the world can't undo this. >> oh, my god, you are arresting kids for marijuana. yes, that's true. why? because we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods. yes that is true. why do we do it? that is where all the crime is. the and the way you get guns out of kids hands is to throw them up against the walls and frisk them. >> comments from bloomberg back in 2015. bloomberg apologized for not bringing down number of stop-and-frisk arrest sooner. he slammed the president deleting the president's tweet at act ton me clearly reflects his fear over the growing strength of my campaign. i will not let you bully me or anyone else in america. we should note president trump has been a vocal supporter in the past of stop-and-frisk, though he also said of it, quote, it needs to be applied properly. neil. neil: he was big supporter of it. if you will point fingers at michael bloomberg, i don't know -- reporter: yeah. neil: can't be in a glass house, right? reporter: president feels it worked in new york. he made comments recently at end of 2018. this was asked to him back on the debate stage in 2016 which he defended stop-and-frisk policies. so you're right. neil: are these the -- one thing -- reversing himself? reporter: no inclination that he changed. the campaign holding up issue in their words, that michael bloomberg is a racist. president fundamentally supports the same policy though, i suspect if you were to ask the white house about this, they would point where the president says it needs to be quote, applied properly. it needs to be a question posed to the president's and the administration considering his past support of it. neil. neil: blake burman, from the white house. "the hill" editor-in-chief bob cusack. what you do think of this? i always get nervous throwing the their weight around the "r" word. many argued that stop-and-frisk was effective deterrent to stop crime. in retrospect mayor bloomberg can understand, well understand on the effect it had on african-american men and it was a mistake. so how big an issue does this become. he regrets what happened then. the president weighs in. where is this going? >> neil, i don't think it will be going away. as you mentioned bloomberg did apologize for it. bloomberg knows if he wins the nomination, things have been falling his way over last several weeks, he will have to win a big chunk of minority volks, specifically african-americans. we don't know, joe biden numbers split among african-americans. will they go with bloomberg. bloomberg ran a vam cain, members of congress i talk to don't know him that well have been impressed. because of biden's slippage that helps bloomberg. if you're getting attacked in politics you're doing something right because bloomberg is moving up in the polls. neil: he is focus of a lot of attention, maybe more after tonight what do you think? >> i think so. i think you know, biden's move to leave new hampshire and say he took a hit in iowa, expects to take a hit in new hampshire that is puzzling. say you're a volunteer for biden's camp. you will not be pleased with those words, he could finish fourth or even fifth. then i think the attention does move to south carolina which doesn't vote until the end of the month. he could have left tomorrow. i do think bloomberg and buttigieg and klobuchar, biden, they're all in the center lane. that helps bernie sanders who right now, a long way to go, right now is the front-runner. neil: amazing. thank you, my friend. very, very much bob cusack. >> thank you. neil: we hear about how eventually we want to be back in space in a big way. russians are waiting for us to see what we do. for practice sake if you believe some latest reports they're spying on the stuff we already have up there. after this. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. - did you know that americans that bought gold in 2005 quadrupled their money by 2012, and even now many experts predict the next gold rush is just beginning. so don't wait another day. physical coins are easy to buy and sell, and one of the best ways to protect your life savings from the next financial meltdown. today, the us money reserve is releasing official gold american eagle coins at cost. for the incredible price of only $154.00 each. these gold american eagles are official gold coins of the united states, and are being sold for only $154.00 each. pick up the phone and call america's gold authority us money reserve, with nearly two decades in business, over $1 billion in transactions, and more than 500,000 clients worldwide, us money reserve is one of the most dependable gold distributors in america. today, the us money reserve is releasing official gold american eagle coins at cost for the incredible price of only $154.00 each. these government issued gold coins are official us legal tender, made from solid gold, mined here in america, and fully back by the united states government, for their gold weight, purity, and content. do not delay. call now to purchase your gold american eagles, for the amazing price of only $154.00 each. gold is now on sale at prices unseen in years, and this year could be one of the greatest gold buying opportunities of all time. call now while vault inventory remains, and as one of the largest us gold coin distributors in the country, us money reserve has proudly served 100s of 1,000s of clients worldwide. don't wait another minute. call now to purchase 1/10th ounce gold american eagles for the amazing price of only $154.00 each. neil: in comes the space force, you now we're dealing with space spies. russian satellites tracking our satellites. fox news reporter lucas tomlinson. i as you suspect this stuff goes on on both sides but what has got people nervous now? reporter: first time there is a cold war in space. late last year a pair of russian inspector satellites have been closely monitoring a multibillion-dollar u.s. spy satellite, according to the head of the new space force. quote, russia is developing on-orbit capabilities that exploit u.s. reliance on space-based systems. the russian government launched a satellite that released a second satellite. john raymond called the situation unusual and disturbing, potentially creates a dangerous situation between cold war foes. they operate a constellation of satellites in space including over a dozen gps satellites. that blue dot on the iphone is courtesy of the u.s. air force. president trump created space force, the sixth branch of the armed forces for the first time since the u.s. air force was created back in 1947. the pentagon requested $15 billion for space force in the budget announced yesterday. russia is not the only one looking to gain an edge in space. for the second consecutive year iran tried to put a satellite in orbit. the islamic republic failed but secretary of state mike pompeo warned quote, iranian regime uses satellite launches to develop the ballistic missile capabilities. they are virtually identical and interchangeable with those used in longer range systems including, intercontinental ballistic missiles. china is looking to get a big edge in space as well. neil. neil: thank you very much, my friend. we'll watch that closely. a new motorola razr on set with us on same day samsung is announcing a lot of models. what has people interested in this particular puppy, it harkens back to something motorola had a couple decades ago. so everything '80s is new again. after this. hi! we're glad you came in, what's on your mind?

why my father never gave up his various suit over the course of his life. wide lapel, thin lapels. a fashion plate he was not. having said, you remember the foldable phones all the rage, motorola? they are coming back as a host of provide remembers moving in that direction, not only motorola with offering of its own but samsung is trying them out in variety of sizes, speeds, technology and price tags. senior associate editor of reviews at wired joins us right now. for the moment he is holding a motorola razr. it looks fairly compact but it is a foldable, right? >> it is. so the whole purpose of this is that it is smaller. so when you unfold it out you get basically a traditional smartphone. and i think there is different varieties of the first galaxy fold that samsung announced last year. basically that whole intention was to give you a bigger screen when you unfold it like a book. get a bigger screen to do more work. this one isn't really going to change your life in any way or anything like that. the whole purpose is to make it a little more pocketable. people are complaining about how big phones are getting thee days. neil: right. >> the whole idea we nailed down what you need for a smartphone. we have good cameras. we have good battery life. let's try to make the form factor a little better, a little something more smaller to fit in pockets. neil: motorola has been there and done this. they invented that technology, right? so now it is samsung passing them up because samsung has variety of more offerings in all price points and screen sizes, right? >> i think everyone is going to sort of converge on this technology and offer something alongside their existing traditional smartphones for the time-being. eventually maybe everyone will sort of switch to folding phones only but i think it is very nascent technology. so people are sort of still figuring out. the tech still needs to work better. neil: that looks pretty sharp when it opens up. how does the crease in the middle do? >> this one. they're using plastic displays. apparently samsung may come out that is glass. this one plastic, there is a little bit of a crease in the middle. little depending on lighting. there are little bumps, when you touch the screen you can feel bumps in the display. that is why it doesn't feel as double, as traditional smartphone might with glass. so, you can also hard to hear, pick up for the mics you can hear sounds when opening, closing the phone. motorola that is intentional. they can't get around it. it doesn't sound great. these are things that companies are figuring out. over time, those kinds of little things will probably go away. neil: has features, qualities you expect in a smartphone including the camera, all of that? >> yes. this is the main camera right here. motorola has the little feature where you can twist your phone, it will launch the camera right there. you can see, take a selfie like that, when you open it up you get, shooting the rear. neil: you can secretly take pictures in places they tell you not to take pictures. not that i would do that. >> hard to see it. you have to point it away. neil: that little detail. samsung has a lot of offerings, the buzz i hear the camera is off the charts. what do they mean by that? >> they're supposedly coming out with this later today, 2:00 p.m. eastern time they have a big galaxy unpacked announcement. from the rumors we're seeing they have a crazy four-camera set up or something called 100 times zoom. neil: no way it is 100 times zoom. >> we're not sure. potentially just digitally zoomed. a lot of companies are playing around with that. neil: you mean like the grassy knoll, like stop. but still, still, it would be significantly better than anything apple has? >> a lot of companies are playing around with, instead of offering hardware that lets you zoom so much, they improve the tech through software and a.i. for example, google with the pixel phones, when you zoom in, they encourage you to zoom in pinching before you take the photo, rather than after. using a.i. to clean up the image, make it look better than if you were cropping afterwards. there is zoom and enhance we heard from the old tv shows that might be coming back and getting better. neil: seems like a lot of players their camera is everything. if you say this one is four lenses and all, my gosh, what do you need four lenses for? >> we're basically replacing a lot of things that we used to carry aarp with us. everyone used to have a camera. you used to have multiple lenses potentially and for people that don't want to invest now having a separate camera with multiple lenses -- neil: does anyone even do that anymore? >> that is the point, with the phone, when you have, currently last year's galaxy phone, ultrawide angle camera, tell photo. those are the things you kind of want. neil: samsung the stuff is out pronto. not like apple you wait for a few weeks before the actual product comes out. this will be out in days, right? >> we think so. we're not entirely sure about the release date but coming at the end of february or something like that. neil: i was joking, they are wooing all the companies, a word from you that is good, that could be everything. >> they're trying to. they're trying to for sure. neil: all right. thank you very much. all this stuff will be well-received? >> i think from samsung today specifically it will be interesting to see if their foldable is possible as this one. this is banking on nostalgia factor. neil: you're probably the guy. julian, thank you very much. everyone has the smartphones out in new hampshire. they want to see joe biden leaving the state. he will actually leave before all the votes are counted. after this. ♪. you don't believe me?

>> i would, yeah. but i haven't seen, you know, i decided to come here tonight and it was on my agenda and all that, but i'm hoping that he drags me across that line. connell: you want to be convinced? >> oh, i have to be convinced. connell: yeah, that was a mayor pete buttigieg event. we don't know exactly how that woman voted but a few other undecided voters we spoke to last night either left us a voice mail today or sent an e-mail saying they did go for mayor pete. that's one of the things. the other i think you alluded to we are watching is senator klobuchar of minnesota. how high can she finish because if she does move into a third place position, that almost definitely means either senator elizabeth warren or the former vice president, joe biden, would be fifth, they would be fourth and fifth, and there's some real debate among analysts about whether a campaign can continue if the candidate, even if it's the former vice president, is in fifth place. clearly biden sending the signal he plans to continue by moving on literally to south carolina this evening. we'll see. i will be with you all night. think about it, biden in some ways is kind of pulling a cavuto, coming to new hampshire, then leaving before the votes are cast. he's either copying you or he's in real trouble, as some people say. neil: wow. unlike you, you know, you are the big star, they wanted you to remain there and said neil, have you seen the men's room here at fox, get back here. thank you. we were going to use so much of you tonight, too. that's a pity. great job, my friend, as always. connell mcshane in the middle of all that. we will go to him quite a bit. he's been a busy traveler. meantime, we told you about joe biden skipping out early but it's how he framed it that struck us. take a look. >> we got a lot of good friends here in new hampshire but this race isn't over until you got significant portion of the electorate haven't voted yet. i'm going to head to south carolina tonight, i'm going to go to nevada, as i said from the beginning. we're looking at them all. neil: timing is everything. is that really good timing, especially to those in the states still voting? let's get the read with danielle mcloughlin, joseph pinion, and david bossa. danielle, there might be perfectly valid reasons for this or it could be shoring up what you know is inevitable and getting out of dodge. his support among african-americans, the former vice president, could be cratering and maybe he's got some, you know, fast rescue work to do there. what do you think? >> south carolina was always joe biden's firewall. you see his campaign now talking about not only the first couple states, but the first four [ inaudible ]. we are seeing tom steyer come into the state with a lot of money. bernie sanders is dropping a little bit. he needs to win south carolina but also needs to win by a significant margin to show voters he really has african-american support that he's been telling everybody he has and that firewall means something. neil: you know, it's interesting because no democrat, certainly no democrat has gone on to win the white house without at least placing second in new hampshire. bill clinton was the last to do that. bill clinton was the only one who lost iowa, tom harkin in '92, but also lost, you know, new hampshire but his number two showing was considered comeback kid material and the rest is history. so if you are that low, if you are joe biden and you are that low, you are up against historical forces you have never seen before. >> look, i think even to that point, paul tsongas won new hampshire and he was from an adjoining state. i said from the beginning if joe biden couldn't find a way to win iowa, if that was the levee holding back disaster and we know money talks, it's talking in south carolina. fourth place finishers walk. right now you are looking at a fourth place finish in iowa, looking at a fourth place finish in new hampshire if he's lucky. if amy klobuchar finds a way to sneak up into that third position, it could be a disaster. if black voters in south carolina were doing their window shopping before, if he finishes in fifth place in new hampshire they will hit the buy it now button on a new candidate. neil: bernie sanders is the one that's supposed to be the beneficiary and a lot of republicans, they wouldn't say it on the air with me as much as say they are salivating at the prospect of sanders being the nominee because they think they can crush him like a bug. history has proven that kind of consensus view wrong. democrats hoped it would be donald trump. carteritis hoped it would be ronald rayieagan. doesn't always work out that way. what do you make of that notion, it's going to sanders, it's leaning sanders and we like it that way? >> i'm so glad i only have to forecast stock prices instead of elections. it is so easy by comparison. the consensus view makes intuitive sense but i'm 100% with you, be careful what you wish for. i would have been in the same camp a few months ago but the primaries have a certain sense of self-fulfilling prophesy. the idea one can have all this momentum, win a bunch of states, get media attention but also fund-raising but all of a sudden general election, they are just a terrible candidate, it's never been true, ever. at the end of the day -- neil: kind of true for mcgovern. >> but who was the better candidate in '72? so it's always relative as well. republicans say it a lot about mccain and romney but really, all that showed was mccain and romney lost by less than the other candidates would have also lost by. at the end of the day, bernie's doing something here republicans have to pay attention to. now, i'm not worried about rank and file and those out on the streets that really love donald trump and them taking bernie for granted. i would be worried if i thought the trump campaign was taking him for granted and i very much doubt they are. i think they know that he does have a little crossover appeal which is weird to say, but -- [ speaking simultaneously ] >> -- right wing populism and left wing populism, they're not that different in a lot of ways. so there's some issues there -- neil: if you are an angry voter, you want to see change, whether you call that populist, you will gravitate to someone who represents that point vof view. but i'm also wondering, democrats are raising concerns about the direction here for the party, which is amy klobuchar comes to mind because she has expressed doubts about nominating a self-avowed socialist, that it could backfire. she has been emerging of late way too early to make any sort of judgment calls here, even after new hampshire, but your thoughts on whether party regulars are getting nervous? we know people like james carville are. we know rahm emanuel is. we hear barack obama is. what do you make of that? >> the delineation between the progressive wing of the party and the moderate wing isn't even really being clear. we have 11 candidates left, we have warren and sanders who are very far to the left, then we have klobuchar who is really rising and of course, pete buttigieg, who really pulled out an incredible result in iowa and is looking strong for new hampshire as well. at the end of the day, i think the democrats will get behind whoever gets the nomination. my concern is that sanders, for example, will go to convention, will contest and do damage if he doesn't make it all the way. neil: or they change the rules to say super delegates can vote on the first ballot. >> right. anything is possible. there are about 2,000 delegates. you need nearly 2,000 to win. i can see a brokered convention. what democrats need to remember is what their goal is here. it's to elect the next president. nl neil: yeah. >> democrats facing what republicans faced in 2016, that theory, it is a prisoner's dilemma. are those candidates going to hang in there one state, one primary date too late. you had with rubio staying in through florida, if warren stays in through south carolina, through super tuesday and they can not build that consensus, if they have somebody like joe biden who just doesn't know when to fold them, all the writing is on the wall -- neil: but the rules are different now. with 15% you get something, right? >> and that's why somebody like bloomberg is so dangerous. that's why -- he's got people stationed in the virgin islands, people stationed in gauam. he's doing delegate math. he's not spending that money for no reason. that's why you see the advertising, that's why you so the robust staff. that's what democrats have to say, what is that fine line between fighting it out until the end and staying in so long that you have reconciled the difference. >> 2016 now is interesting. the democrats learned from the republicans -- >> they learned nothing. >> even with amy klobuchar coming on now, if i were a democrat i would be offended that all of a sudden she's trying. what has she been doing for four months? neil: trying to break through. >> you have to go out for the person in first place, not the person in fourth place and third place. she's been doing this for months and so have the others. at the end of the day -- neil: [ inaudible ]. >> not on the democratic side. on the national polls biden has been up there. they know bernie has the momentum. they are all afraid to turn off his people. who does that sound like from 2016? >> i think the reality, though, klobuchar recognizes that if there is a moderate lane, there's only one. right now, joe biden is in that lane. she knows all she has to do is knock off the king in the moderate lane. neil: moderate is -- >> i mean, somehow people are calling pete buttigieg a moderate. he wants to pack the courts. >> calling amy a moderate, mayor pete is not a moderate. [ speaking simultaneously ] neil: all right. do not forget about our prime time coverage on this fine network of the new hampshire primaries. we begin at 8:00 p.m. on fox business. this idea about what's at stake here, i think everyone pointed it out but danielle particularly, what you need, close to 2,000 delegates, there are 24 at stake tonight in new hampshire so it sets the trend but it's a long way to go. more after this. everyone uses their phone differently. that's why xfinity mobile lets you design your own data. you can share 1, 3, or 10 gigs of data between lines, mix in lines of unlimited, and switch it up at any time. all with millions of secure wifi hotspots and the best lte everywhere else. it's a different kind of wireless network, designed to save you money. switch and save up to $400 a year on your wireless bill. and save even more when you say "bring my own phone" into your voice remote. that's simple, easy, awesome. click, call or visit a store today. it's our most dangerous addiction. and to get the whole world clean? that takes a lot more than an alternative. so we took our worst vice, and turned it into the dna for a better system. materials made from recycled plastic woven and molded into all the things we consume. we created bionic and put the word out with godaddy. what will you change? make the world you want. neil: all right. fed chair jerome powell weighing in on the crone achl viroronaco our economy is resilient though he's watching it very very cautiously and is open to the possibility, remote though he says it might be, that it will disrupt things here. edward lawrence has the very latest. reporter: yeah, today at the house financial services committee, chairman jay powell saying the economy's in a very good place, regardless of the spread of the coronavirus. he went on to testify, though, that consumer spending is driving this economic expansion. he says the consumer spending tapered off a little bit at the end of last year but household fundamentals are still there to keep the spending going. powell says business investment remains weak because of slow global growth and trade disputes. he says some uncertainty is clearing, however, listen to this. >> risks to the outlook remain. particularly, we are closely monitoring the emergence of the coronavirus which could lead to disruptions in china which spill over to the rest of the global economy. reporter: powell says right now there's minimal impact to the u.s. economy from this virus. he adds that we cannot calculate yet the economic impact for china and the surrounding countries but there will be an impact. >> there will be effects on china, through some part of the first half of the year, and china's close neighbors and major trading partners in europe as well as asia, and we know that there will be some, very likely some effects on the united states. i think it's just too early to say. reporter: now, in the face of the coronavirus going forward and the global slowdown and whatnot, the resilience of the united states in this monetary policy report that was given to congress by the fed chairman, it says in here the models the fed are using right now show that the likelihood of a recession over the next 12 months has fallen noticeably. again, coming -- economic expansion continuing. back to you. neil: thank you very much. to put punctuation on his comments there, the fact of the matter is production has ground to a halt in that region and hasn't picked up much steam in the interim. you are already hearing from toy makers like hasbro and mattel they think it will delay shipments. under armour, the big clothing player, athletic apparel and the like player, they won't get as many goods from that region and it could impact their bottom line. they are just the latest. you heard about the airlines, you heard about what's going on in the hospitality industry, you heard what's happening with big tech guys who might not be able to get stuff to or from that region. sean o'hara is watching all of this very very closely. always good to have you. how do you gauge the impact? we have been kind of resisting it in this country. if anything, we have been a beneficiary of the confusion, inviting buyers here. what do you make of it? >> thanks, neil, for having me. it's good to be on again. i sort of look at this as a repeat of last year, if you will. you had these head wind issues, trade, the fed policy earlier in the year, and then you had the tail wind issues which is low inflation, low interest rate, high wage growth, high employment, high labor participation rate, low inflation, low interest rates, low energy prices. and we went back and forth in this sort of tug-of-war amongst these two issues. i sort of see this the same way. all of the same fundamentals on the positive side still remain today and in some cases, might even be stronger, and yet there's this head wind with this coronavirus and what it's going to do to affect global supply chains and where that impact might be felt. but my view is that by the end of the year, i suspect that it will be less of an important issue than the positives, just like it was last year for the markets. neil: all right. a lot of people always look at comparisons with sars, i guess, that's one of the more readily available regional examples back to 2002-2003, saying that in this case, as horrible as it sounds making these comparisons, the death rate at about 2.5% is decidedly below what it was for that epidemic when it was closer to 10%, and that here, it seems to be pinpointed to a region and only a region. what do you make of that? >> i think this is a story that's been played out a number of ways, whether it was ebola or sars or the bird flu, avian flu, and you know, i think the last time i was on we talked about this, just as this was breaking. the initial reaction is always to, because there's so much uncertainty, to sell and settle and then try to figure out what's going on. it's a difficult thing to do if you are put in a position, if you get asked about this, because people are dying so you don't want to undersell that, but you know, globally, 80,000 people a year die from the regular flu, so i think that that's a positive sign, a percentage of the people that actually contract the virus who ultimately die, and that's why i've come up with my positioning which is the positive news for our overall economy here outweighs that potential head wind going forward. neil: thank you very much, my friend. good seeing you. >> thank you. thanks for having me. neil: meanwhile, the ftc answered questions as we speak on this examination into past acquisitions of large tech companies like amazon and alphabet and facebook and microsoft. what's interesting is some of these acquisitions they're looking at date back a decade. i'm talking january 1, 2010. after this. i have an idea for a trade. oh yeah, you going to place it? not until i'm sure. why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut check? what's that? you run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. could've used that before i hired my interior decorator. voila! maybe a couple throw pillows would help. get a strategy gut check from our trade desk. ♪ neil: all right. it started with charlie gasparino and now we know a judge finally approving that $26 million merger of sprint and t-mobile. charlie gasparino, best in the business, with us right now. now what? charlie: you know, you kind of want to say the state ags, liberal state ags led by the ag in california and here in new york, are the big losers but really, the big losers here is wall street. coming into this, wall street was betting heavily the states would win the suit, they would break up the merger. i interviewed at the courthouse a couple weeks ago john legere, the ceo of t-mobile, great guy, and john -- neil: he was running away with you. charlie: actually, he wasn't. by the way, one of the few people that said night thince t about me, like i break a lot of stories. and you know, he said we're going to win. so the companies are winners here -- neil: he's a winner here. charlie: sprint shareholders are winners. neil: does he run the show? charlie: he's stepping down. he's handing it over. that was kind of baked in the cards. if the deal didn't happen, who knows what would have gone on. you know, this is a big story today because the u.s., the reason why the trump administration really pushed for this, the economic advisers in the white house and ultimately approved by the fcc and doj's antitrust, the reason why, they think these two companies combined will be so strong they would fight for 5g and we can compete better in the 5g area with the chinese. sprint would have been in massive trouble. they would have maybe gone out of business given their financials if they didn't merge with them. but so that's kind of like a big winner here, too. but this would have been, though, a much, much bigger story if the judge -- neil: was this stock reaction expected? charlie: yes. yes. because it's a 180. but if this didn't happen, the story would have been even bigger and here's why. what you essentially say is a group of activist state ags, not all of them, just 13 of them, they can go in and stop aeal that the u.s. government thinks is good for consumers, not just consumers but for the future of 5g, they could upend a major merger like this overrule the federal government, that would have been the precedent judge marrero, the federal district judge in the southern district of new york, would have set if he essentially sided on the side of the states. he didn't, thank god. so i think this is a good deal. it's going to be good for deal making on wall street. neil: what's deal making going forward, or do they wait to see how the election turns out? does this turn on that kind of stuff? charlie: yes. yes. i think trump is riding high right now so most people think his doj antitrust will be in there for awhile. i know i'm going to get hammered for saying this is a good deal by the consumer activists but i'm telling you, if you are a consumer out there, just because they got rid of one carrier and by the way, they replaced it with charlie ergen's dish. people forget that. there is a carrier that just because you get rid of one carrier, automatically prices go up. this is a new world. there's stiff competition among strong wireless players. t-mobile and sprint are very strong right now. they are going to compete on price, okay. one other thing i want to make the point. the state's case is so laughable. the judge, this is a clinton appointee judge, just threw it out, there's no real appeal here. i mean, they can but they will get rejected. the reason why is he didn't buy any arguments. their main argument was -- listen, neil, their main argument was charlie ergen, who agreed as part of this deal to set up another wireless carrier, was going to sort of back-door the federal government and say no, i'm not going, and renege somewhere along the line. that's absurd. you sign a deal, i mean -- this is done. done. done deal. you can say this is a done deal. i use that term a lot around here when it's not really done. this is done. neil: when i was in new hampshire, several people asked about you. one guy watches religiously, said is charlie funny. i said funny how? charlie: like a clown? neil: no reaction out of the guy. charlie: that's new hampshire. neil: you got a lot of fans out there. charlie: really? you think i can get free drinks at a bar in new hampshire or something? neil: no, no. charlie: how is the food up there? neil: very good. wonderful people. salt of the earth. they value very much their unique role in this contest. they want to get it right. charlie: hopefully the app works. neil: low bar after iowa. charlie: are they using an app? neil: all right, thank you, my friend. he's the best in the business. breaks news like nobody's business. meantime, we are looking at action in manchester, new hampshire right now. they are there. the old joke is you're nobody if you haven't seen these candidates at least twice and probably in your living room. right now, they are in voting booths across the entire state. we will see how it goes. after this. our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. so we can spend a bit today, knowing we're prepared for tomorrow. wow, do you think you overdid it maybe?

neil: thank you very, very much. and it's not about doing well politically, but doing well so you can keep raising more money. wallets tend to shut fast when they think you are fading fast. back with danielle, joseph and numbers cruncher david munson. interesting when you look at their strategies, but sometimes strategies crash into reality. that is the money reality. money can dry up very quickly if those who provide it think that you're going nowhere. >> certainly. someone like bernie sanders who is really building a movement here is in the safest position for all the democrats as it relates to fund-raising. warren is obviously fighting with him so this is the progressive wing of the party, so if she doesn't make a really strong showing in south carolina, her donors may migrate towards bernie sanders. ultimately, if you don't have the money, you can't have people in the field, you can't run political advertising or do social media. so this is important for all of them. this field will and should winnou bwi winnow, but money talks. neil: i think donald trump didn't need money last go-round. he got it as his campaign accelerated. he's got it in buckets now. so it does help to have that backing you up. on the republican side, they are not worried about affording this race, are they? >> no, donald trump has assembled one of the largest war chest armadas in modern politics history. that's what we are dealing with. what democrats should be worried about is somebody like bloomberg or steyer, who becomes the new pace horse as far as spending. neil: i know i keep repeating it, viewers get sick of it, the crew gets sick of it, he generates more than $1.5 billion in interest on his principal, that is the principal that's invested, every year. >> yeah. he's not worried about money. you've got people in north carolina who are seeing bloomberg ads close to 40 times a day. so you start to have this stretching where even somebody like sanders, who is in great position financially, has to start stretching those resources across so many states. neil: he has a lot of it in small doe nominatienominations. >> he does but compared to the type of spending we are seeing from bloomberg and steyer, we have never seen this type of spending. close to $250 million being spent, that's just advertising. neil: here's the thing. the difference between steyer's spending and bloomberg's spending, they are both billionaires, although michael bloomberg's a much bigger billionaire, it does apparently get results. it has lifted his poll numbers. what do you make of that? >> a lot of it has to do where they started off. bloomberg was somewhat of a household name, obviously here in new york but being mayor of new york for three terms, being in finance, there's name i.d. steyer had no name i.d., really still doesn't, but where he did have i.d. recognition, on the other coast in california. it was very negative -- neil: in nevada he percolated a little. >> look at all the money he's poured into special elections propositions, he's never won anything. i don't think steyer is thought of as a winner. bloomberg is at least associated with some sort of democratic success. >> he's starting to percolate in places like south carolina. the latest tracking polls going back to last month, he's close to second place in south carolina, somewhere between second and third place in nevada. i think again -- neil: they all get a percentage. >> we are talking about that firewall joe biden thought he had with black voters. again, as that firewall begins to melt, they start looking for a new home. neil: [ inaudible ]. >> right. those black voters have been looking for a new home. now somebody like amy klobuchar, if she can sneak past warren and biden in new hampshire, she starts looking good. steyer has been looking good to them. so it's wide open. we could be here for a long run. neil: they will be back with us. meantime, the president is pushing tougher immigration laws and actually suing cities and states that don't go along. how is that resonating?

>> yesterday, late in the day, the justice department filed three complaints, one against the city of seattle and the county it's located in, one against the state of california, one against the state of new jersey. the essence of these complaints is the feds are in charge of immigration and when you as state governments, in the case of seattle, a city and county government, frustrate our ability to enforce immigration laws, you are violating the supremacy clause of the constitution which says the feds are superior to the states and you can't do that and we want you ordered stopped. what do the feds want the states to do. they want the states to help them enforce federal law. the states are free to help the feds enforce federal law. they rare also free not to help the feds enforce federal law because of an opinion written by justice scalia about ten years ago saying the feds can't go into new jersey and say we need you guys to stop enforcing state law, start working for us. that is the fed's reallocating the governmental assets of the states which they can't do under the constitution. so those are the two arguments. federal supremacy in immigration versus state supremacy in the allocation of their own resources. neil: explain this to me. where a lot of the feds get upset is these cities and states that don't even check the illegals in their midst or those they know are here illegally. where do you draw the line about what their obligations are? >> that is the argument against our home state of new jersey. neil: right. >> that the feds, that the states are saying so and so is in jail for a state crime, he's about to get out of jail, we're not giving you his name and we're not telling you the jail he's getting out of. we are just going to let him free. we know you want him but as far as we're concerned he's no longer a danger to society because he served his term. the feds are saying he is a danger to society because he's not here legally, and he knows we are after him and as he resists us, that might produce violence and if you don't help us find him by telling us what jail he's going to be released from, you expose our agents to potential violence from him, as happened here in new york city three days ago. neil: i'm going to go even further than that. isn't the argument, the u.s. government, says you're going further than that, you are giving them licenses, giving them all sorts of rights, even voting rights, that go way beyond just looking the other way? >> i don't know of any states that are giving voting rights but you know, these three lawsuits are interesting because the state they omitted which is from their perspective, the worst state in the union, and that's here in new york, because new york not only gives out driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, it refuses to share their voting records with the feds, which the feds have now used as an excuse -- neil: that's what i meant. thank you for saying that. they can use this to go ahead and vote and that is where the feds could say it's one thing to look the other way, you are giving them rights and advantages that go way beyond the pale. where does this go, in other words? >> i don't know where it goes. i think the feds will lose because of this anticommandeering argument justice scalia wrote about. feds can't commandeer state resources. they will have to bring more federal resources to bear which means more money to be spent. either taxes go up or borrowing goes up. neil: got it. pretty good at this law stuff, judge. >> trying. neil: you got it, my friend. wicked smart. meanwhile, could the push to sell the rich drown out support for the not-rich?

[ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ neil: all right. we are getting a little more detail from the federal trade commission that is looking into past acquisitions by some of the big tech names that go back a decade. susan li has more. susan: we just got off the phone with the ftc trying to explain why they have issued these notices to the five big tech firms looking for more information on these smaller acquisitions, including facebook, amazon, google, of course, apple and also microsoft. those are the five big companies that they have zeroed in on and these are smaller acquisitions, talking about $90 million to $360 million range, complying with the hsr rules. they say according to the ftc. initially on the call they said this is for information gathering for research purposes, but then they do caveat it by saying the previous transactions could be subject to enforcement and previous acquisitions could be somebody to theubject to enf and possibility of overturning some of these previous acquisitions. this goes to 2010-2019. they say the number of transactions, number of deals, could be in the hundreds they are looking at right now and they are looking at deals also for collection and storage of data since we know privacy is one of the focal points of the ftc right now. i asked specifically in this call are you going to share this information with other antitrust, tech antitrust investigations by the state attorney generals on google and facebook and also the department of justice. they say there are limitations in terms of what type of information we share between departments but if there are notices and subpoenas, he said they could expand and be wide-ranging. so this is a fast-moving story. we are keeping on top of this. back to you. neil: really weird. thank you very, very much. i want to pick my panel's brain on all of this. first thoughts, david. going back a decade. this is like, you know, the full examination here. >> i thought i went forward a year and elizabeth warren must have won the election. this is what she is campaigning on threatening to do, this extra scrutiny of big tech and -- neil: if you are looking at the last year's worth of activity. >> looking for recordkeeping and privacy issues is regulatory issue and it may be getting overreported to some degree. if they were really looking at enforcement action on m & a that would strike me as utterly sadist. >> they are looking to the extent to which the thresholds, when you have a merger, is approved by tfc aftc and doj -- neil: are they equating these guys with the mob? >> i think we shaould talk abou that off camera. but it's curious and david, to your point, this is not something i would expect frankly under a republican administration. neil: does it have anything to do with the administration? >> i would hope not. neil: would they have to run it up the flagpole? >> this just seems outright crazy. if you are sitting here saying -- neil: why stop with that? why not media companies? >> the economy is the fine line upon which donald trump's re-election hopes are perched. if you understand markets love security, the reason why we have this booming finance, that wall street is in the greatest bull run we have ever seen, is because of the fact we understand businesses love security. that's why they love trump and are terrified of people like bernie. neil: -- politically keen with the president, i'm thinking of amazon and some differences there -- >> but this doesn't just affect those companies. neil: i understand that. >> in fairness so far, it really is a request for letters and correspondence. neil: i don't remember a request ever like this. >> i think when you are talking about financial companies, we get letters like this all the time. it only becomes public -- neil: that's information dating back a decade? >> no, not a decade. >> this is what people have been talking about. people with the pitchforks outside the building have been talking about going after big tech, going after amazon, going after facebook and all these different companies so again, if you are saying the market has been booming because of the fact there was assurances that they were not going to listen to mob rule, that the comfort food for the masses was going to be on the other side of the aisle, suddenly right now you have markets in a panic sitting here saying wait a second, you know, if we got to worry about this from both sides and if we have to, you know -- neil: both sides had their problem with big tech guys for various reasons, too big for their britches, but this is something where republicans and democrats are on the same page. >> only thing the federal government could approve, possibly dozens of deals and then at some point, at some point ten years later, some of these early deals in 2010, said they are exploring them, to your point, joe, the market will have real concerns about -- neil: you think you are a year ahead and elizabeth warren is on this. she's speaking live right now in new hampshire, that's just timely, but that's something you would envision out of her. >> that's right. when you say republicans and democrats, i would reword it a little. i would say it's right wing and left wing populist. right now there is a lot of republican and democrat side there -- neil: i remember when these ceos were dragged before committees, both sides were chewing them, right? >> there's a populist benefit to doing that. but they approach it for different reasons. donald trump's angst with big tech is not the same as elizabeth warren's but it can lead to the same thing. this to me is a mess. hopefully it's going to prove to be much ado about nothing. neil: we shall see. guys, thank you, on very short notice they were ready to go with that. i just wanted to see if they would be. fortunately, they were, as they always are. elizabeth warren speaking right now in new hampshire. she's not leaving the state early even though polls would indicate that she might be wise to follow joe biden and fly somewhere else. again, she's optimistic that she will do well and is fighting for every last vote. joe biden, we are told, wants to move on to safer confines, we are told south carolina but he hasn't left the state yet. more after this. . . neil: we're told vote something heavy in the granite state. no way to know until final numbers are in. we have fox business coverage on 8:00 p.m. whatever happens we're there. foreign market reaction. the futures market reaction. the only place to get it is this network. here is charles payne. charles: good afternoon, i'm charles payne. this is "making money." the markets were on autopilot until depressing news from boeing. pressured the dow. it inquiry from the sec cast a pall over the big tech giants. we're on both stories a federal judge cleared the way for the t-mobile takeover. jay powell fending off a lot of politically tainted questions on capitol hill. his opening statement underscores the benefits after strong economy. it is called shared prosperity. bernie sanders seems to have all the momentum in the democratic crowd. look at that. all the crowds in
