CONCERNS OVER DRUG SHORTAGES

DUE TO DISRUPTIONS TO CHINA'S

SUPPLY CHAIN.

JOINING US TONIGHT WITH

JUST 30 HOURS UNTIL THE POLLS

OPEN, MICHAEL, PROFESSOR

POLITICS AT LOYOLA DIVERSITY.

WE'LL BREAK THIS UP INTO

PARTS.

LET'S START WITH PETE

BUTTIGIEG WHO DROPPED OUT

BEFORE SUPER TUESDAY.

SO MANY PEOPLE SHOCKED BY

THIS.

WHAT IS YOUR REACTION AND WHY

DID HE DO IT RIGHT BEFORE

SUPER TUESDAY.

HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, NO

ONE EXPECTED HIM TO MAKE A

SPLASH.

HE MADE A BIG SPLASH EARLY BUT

HIS CAMPAIGN STARTED TO FIZZLE

OUT.

MY GUESS IS THAT WHEN BIDEN

MADE THE COME BACK HE SAW

THERE WAS NO REAL LANE FOR HIM

TO GO FORWARD, AND I'M

GUESSING HIS INTERNAL POLLING

SAID ON MA MARCH 3rd

YOU'RE GOING TO GET CRUSHED.

RATHER THAN BE HUMILIATED I

THINK HE WANTS TO TAKE THE

CHIPS HE HAS AND SAY I'M IN A

GET OUT NOW THAN HE CAN RUN

ANOTHER DAY IN 2024.

YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE

THEORIES ABOUT WHETHER ANYONE

ASKED HIM TO STEP BACK TO HELP

THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN OR OFFERED

HIM ANY SORT OF FUTURE

POSITION IN THEIR

ADMINISTRATION.

DO YOU THINK THERE IS ANY

WEIGHT TO THAT AT ALL?

I WOULD DOWNPLAY THAT

THEORY.

IT USED TO BE THE CASE THAT IT

WAS FAIRLY PREVALENT THAT YOU

WOULD PROMISE SOMEONE

SOMETHING FOR THEIR SUPPORT.

NOW THEY ARE MORE HINTS AND

ALLEGATIONS.

I THINK BUTTIGIEG CAN READ THE

WRITING ON THE WALL AND HE

KNOWS HE'S GOING NOWHERE SO

GET OUT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD

RATHER THAN FACE THE REALLY

BAD DAY ON MARCH 3.

SO, RIGHT NOW IN 2024, HE IS

ONE OF THE PEOPLE THEY WILL

NAME RIGHT AWAY WHEN YOU SAY

WHO IS RUNNING FOR THE

DEMOCRATS.

LET'S TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT

SOME OF THE OTHER FRONT

RUNNERS.

OBVIOUSLY JOE BIDEN EXPECTED

TO ROOT WIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA

AND HE DID.

IS THAT ENOUGH AND IS THAT

INDICATIVE OF ALL HE WILL

PERFORM ON SUPER TUESDAY.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH BECAUSE

BERNIE HAS A BIG LEAD AND

BERNIE SHOULD DO VERY WELL IN

CALIFORNIA AND TEXAS.

[INAUDIBLE]

ABOUT THE 18th THERE WILL BE

A LOT OF DELEGATES THAT HAVE

BEEN HANDED OUT.

BIDEN, WHO STARTED OUT VERY

SLUGGISHLY HAD A LIFESAVER IN

SOUTH CAROLINA, BUT IT MAY BE

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE FOR HIM.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE STILL

THINKING BERNIE SANDERS WILL

DO VERY WELL ON SUPER

TUESDAY.

I THINK HE WILL WIN THE BIG

RACES, BIDEN WILL COME IN

STRONGLY, SECOND OR THIRD

PERIOD HE WILL GET SOME

DELEGATES.

IT'S REALLY A QUESTION OF

MATH.

CAN HE BE STOPPED IN TERMS OF

JUST GETTING THE NUMBER, 1900

OUT JAN DELEGATES.

ELIZABETH WARREN AND AMY

KLOBUCHAR HAVE BOTH HAD THEIR

MOMENTS WHERE THEY EITHER

SURGED WITH MOMENTUM,

ESPECIALLY ELIZABETH OR WARREN

EARLY ON.

WHERE DO THEY STAND NOW.

IT DOESN'T SEEMED LIKE THEY'RE

GETTING THE BIG MOMENTUM.

I THINK THE BIG SURPRISE IS

THAT WARREN DID AS POORLY IN

THESE RACES THAT SHE HAS

SPREAD A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT

SHE WOULD BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE

RIGHT DOWN TO THE VERY END.

SHE HAS NOT CAUGHT ON OR

CAPTURED THE ROMANCE OF THE

CAMPAIGN.

A LOT OF DEMOCRATS WANTED HER

AS THE LEFT WING CANDIDATE.

THEY GOT BERNIE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MIKE

BLOOMBERG.

HE HAS RUN A HIGHLY ON

ORTHODOX CAMPAIGN TO SAY THE

LEAST.

WE SAW ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

THAT.

HE BASICALLY BOUGHT AIRTIME

ADVERTISEMENT THAT LOOKS SO

MUCH LIKE WHAT COULD'VE BEEN A

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.

REALLY UNUSUAL.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN

ANYTHING LIKE IT.

WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO HERE

AND WILL THAT RESONATE WITH

VOTERS?

I THINK YOU HAVE TO

REMEMBER BLOOMBERG IS STILL

UNTESTED, BUT HE STILL A

BILLIONAIRE.

THERE'S A LOT YOU CAN BUY WITH

MONEY.

YOU CAN'T BUY VOTES BUT YOU

CAN BUY THE KIND OF COVERAGE

THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO GET

OTHERWISE.

HE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED IN

FRONT OF THE VOTERS.

MARCH 3 WILL BE MAKE OR BREAK

FOR HIM.

IF HE DOES POORLY, THERE'S

PROBABLY NO RECOVERY FOR HIM.

LET'S TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

OBVIOUSLY YOU HEAR THIS ALL

THE TIME IN POLITICS.

EVERY PRESIDENT, EVERY

ADMINISTRATION IS TESTED IN

SOME WAY, IN A WAY THEY DON'T

EXPECT.

SOME ARE SAYING CORONAVIRUS

COULD BE THAT FOR PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VP, AND

THEY HAVE ALL COME OUT AND

SAID VERY STRONGLY, WE ACTED

QUICKLY, WE STOPPED TRAVEL

EARLY ON WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT

WE HAVE THIS UNDER CONTROL.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CRITICS HAVE

SAID THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

WHO IS RIGHT?

IS THE PRESIDENT AND HIS

ADMINISTRATION GETTING OUT IN

FRONT OF US AND WHAT SHOULD

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAKE.

IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR SO

BOTH SIDES WILL PLAY

POLITICS.

BOTH SIDES SHOULD BE

DISCOUNTED AND I THINK WHAT

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IS THIS

CAME AS A SURPRISE.

AT FIRST THE PRESIDENT TRIED

TO DISCOUNTED AND DIMINISH ITS

IMPORTANCE WHEN THEY REALIZED

HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS, THAT'S

WHEN THE QUESTION WAS DID THEY

LEAD THE NATION.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TROUBLE

DOING THAT.

HE'S ONLY BEEN LEADING FROM

HIS BASE.

HE'S NOT BEEN A PRESIDENT FOR

THE WHOLE NATION.

NOW YOU NEED TO PULL EVERYONE

TOGETHER BUT HE'S TORN SO MANY

APART BUDDIES HAD A HARD TIME

PULLING US TOGETHER.

HE PUT MIKE PENCE IN FRONT

WHICH IS PROBABLY THE WORST

THING HE COULD'VE DONE.

HE WENT ON THE TV INTERVIEW

PROGRAMS AND WAS SHOCKINGLY

ILL-INFORMED.

THAT DID NOT INSPIRE

CONFIDENCE.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE EXPERTS

WHO CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY

WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT YOU

SHOULD DO, WHAT YOU SHOULD BE

CONCERNED ABOUT.

BOTH SIDES NEED TO RISE ABOVE

POLITICS BUT NEITHER SIDE HAS

BEEN ABLE TO.

IT'S A STORY THAT WILL BE

GOING AWAY.

MICHAEL WILL BE STICKING
