8:00 a.m. hour of "fox and friends." now the post-game show. former president donald trump scored historic win at the caucuses in iowa as the field looks to what is next. >> come together, it is going to happen soon. this is third time we've won. this is the biggest win. >> we've got our ticket punched out of iowa. >> we will continue on, we're off to new hampshire. >> we are going to suspend this presidential campaign. >> steve: there goes vivek. you heard nikki haley, she is in new hampshire and will join us this hour to talk about her third place finish. >> ainsley: later today federal employees set to walk off the drop to protest white house's support for israel. and speaker johnson says fire

another view. good morning from iowa. you just mentioned a number of flights are cancelled because of weather here and there in new york city area. we had a couple of my flight was cancelled today. we did a couple of -- >> lawrence: mine, too. >> steve: lawrence and i could be living in iowa. show how cold it is. we cracked a raw egg into a pan and put outside for an hour and it looks done, but it is hard as a rock. don't tell the hilton, a lovely facilities, ari, one of our producers, stole a bath towel from the hilton. thread count is fantastic. we could use this -- sled.

ainsley, like a bobsled or luge. kids, don't try this at home. >> ainsley: oh, gosh. >> steve: still hard as a rock. i can pull it over. it is an ice book. >> ainsley: might need a new set, good television. >> brian: pretty good. put it around your neck and fight crime. you have a free afternoon. >> ainsley: like a cape. >> brian: that is what i'm thinking. you can't fight crime without a cape. >> ainsley: sticking straight out. >> brian: like he's in motion. >> ainsley: you are our super hero. >> steve: all right. >> brian: see if neil cavuto is stealing paper clips. >> ainsley: everyone stayed up too late watching everything. we're deliruous. >> steve: i'm soaking wet. >> brian: steve was reveling with the caucus goers.

>> ainsley: lawrence's flight was cancelled, too. >> lawrence: our flights were cancelled, our producers, too, nate, the great, cancelled. >> ainsley: did you book something later in the afternoon? >> lawrence: we booked something for 5:00, see if it stays. >> steve: my i-10 iary, we are going to drive to omaha. >> lawrence: we are, too. >> brian: you got insurance? >> steve: i have a car. warren buffet will escort us to the airport. >> ainsley: last night, what happened. you have been covering this lawrence and steve. donald trump stole the show last

night, ahead 30 points in polls and he got that when they went to caucus last night. it was called after 30 minutes. desantis was complaining, we cannot call this yet, the caucus is not over yet. >> brian: trump 56,000. desantis, 23,000 and nikki haley 21,000 and vivek was in single digits and he will be campaigning for donald trump right away. ron desantis said i got enough to keep ongoing. and nikki haley already slipped and said we look for new hampshire to correct what iowa has given. here is a look at what the candidates were saying last night. going to come together. this is fair time we've won. this is biggest win. i want to congratulate ron and

nikki haley for having a good time together. we're all having a good time together. and i think they both actually did very well. i really do. i also want to congratulate vivek, he did a hell of a job. >> i can tell you, because of your support in spite of all they threw at us, everyone against us, we have our ticket punched. >> i can safely say tonight iowa made this republican primary a two-person race. thank you, iowa, we'll continue on and make you proud and we're off to new hampshire. >> we are going to suspend this presidential campaign. i called donald trump to tell him i congratulate him on victory and now going forward, he will have my full endorsement are for the presidency.

>> lawrence: i found it interesting. i went to the compcampaign rall. he was unifying. he did not stop at unifying the party, he said he wanted to unify the country. his tone was even keeled and i think he won people over with that. second thing i notice, you have the ron desantis camp saying they are going forward, going to south carolina. not going to abandon new hampshire. he brought his entire operation to iowa. if any state he needed to win, it was iowa for a moral boost. for him to get second place after polling indicating haley had overtook him, he needed a

win. i think as the days go forward, he doesn't have a lot of money, does he have money to continue this when the donor class moved to nikki haley. >> steve: that is right and we know that had nikki haley done really well, finished solid second close to trump, but that didn't happen, major donors were going to come in. existential threat for ron desantis. 123 million spent on advertising here in the six iowa tv markets and because of cold weather and snow and dangerous conditions and 7:00, the producer and i

wto lincoln high school, the turnout was terrible. and karl rove was talking, in 2016, 187,000 showed up to caucus. last night it was 110,000. we don't know if it was the weather or inevitability of those trump poll numbers were daunting like he's at 50%. >> ainsley: he is largest margin ever won in iowa by 30 points. had to have been mostly weather. elderly people don't want to drive and risk walking out to their cars and slipping and sliding. weather had a great deal to do with this. no matter how old you are, getting out in the cold bundling up is not enjoyable to do.

elections matters, when you have him high in the poll, i'm sure people thought about that. elise stefanik was asking other candidates drop out, let the party unify. vivek ramaswamy did that last night, he is supporting donald trump. we move to new hampshire. all three of us are going to new hampshire. we leave on sunday live there monday, tuesday and wednesday. desantis got number two in iowa. looks like nikki haley, if polls are right, will get number two in new hampshire. >> brian: i think nikki haley thinks she can win. >> ainsley: desantis is going to new hampshire today or tomorrow. >> brian: later today. >> ainsley: on tuesday, she is in new hampshire, he is going to be in greenville, south carolina, to get a head start,

that is nikki haley's state. >> brian: he doesn't want anybody to quit. lawrence wants to talk to diners. do people want to talk to you? >> lawrence: pick up on ainsley's point. she made this statement, she is bril brilliant. i think weather is part of it and some voters thought, donald trump is going to win anyway. one lady, you were working and you said you were going to caucus for nikki haley, but you decided not to because you thought donald trump was going to win anyway. >> that is right. he has a strong following. i've been to his events and people show up for trump in iowa. >> lawrence: you said one thing you are concerned about, you said my 401(k) was up under donald trump. you were concerned about the

tone of the president during his candidacy and presidency. what did you think about his speech last night? >> there was not name calling, he did a good job and said he was going to try to unite the country and that is what we need. >> lawrence: everyone wondering this big question for people who support nikki haley or ron desantis, if trump is nominee, would you support him against joe biden? >> yes, i would. definitely. >> lawrence: why is that? >> joe is too old, time to get out. >> lawrence: thank you. i told people this from the beginning, one thing about the trump voters, they really like him. the other candidates may support ron desantis or nikki haley, not that fire in their belly.

that impacts when there is weather or other stuff if they turn out to polls, guys. >> brian: foreign policy ranked fourth and most important is immigration and then the economy. 13 after the hour. guess what will happen on capitol hill? there is going to be a walk out. you will not believe who is walking out. >> ainsley: people at the white house, people within other agencies like pentagon and state department. they are saying we are so mad at joe biden's pro-israel stance, we'll walk off the job today. house republicans say go for it, you should be fired if you do this. >> brian: protesters united by feds united for peace have organized a march today.

so how could you possibly not have a tribute to those who lost their lives that day and you are upset israel came back and hit gaza and guy who made the decision you work for and you are protesting him? speaker mike johnson said any government worker who walks off should be fired. >> ainsley: national review looked into this, they said if you protest, you are violating federal law, statute that punishes with a fine or up to a year in prison. here is andy mccarthy weighing in on this. >> no one that works in the government and doesn't have a number of policies they intensely disagree with. striking is not an option. it is a crime.

it is five years. if biden is too weak to take action, this crime can be punished from the time it occurs until january 2029. it be smart for donald trump or whoever republican nominee this ought to be campaign issue. government employee strikes, be prosecuted. >> ainsley: think someone worked for you and they are antisemitism, get out of my house, don't work for me. >> brian: you going to protest we hit the houthi rebels? they were doing it over the weekend. they are for yemen. it got worry some for the secret service and they took the staff into the basement. the met is never there, he was at camp david. they are not loyalist and not

there fo do job ofut administration. if you are upset by the president you are working for, you can quit. >> ainsley: if you work in politics, then quit and go work for someone you do support. >> brian: can you imagine if trump's staff were rioting. rachel maddow would be feeling their pain of working for a horrible man. >> ainsley: trump would lock the gate and say go. >> brian: you feel that way, leave. i never heard of a staff protesting their president, it is crazy. >> ainsley: especially when you work in politics. >> brian: you don't agree with every decision so you put a mask on cowards and go outside the white house. we will find out who you are. >> ainsley: hand over to carley

who is not walking off. >> carley: south carolina in the news because of the election and happening today murdaugh back in court for a status conference, he is attempting to receive a new trial to overturn his murder conviction. the judge will meet with the prosecution and decide if he receives a new trial. how much do you need to make to buy a house? as prices sky rocket, one realtor revealing it is a lot more than you think. >> in order to own a home these days, you need to make about $1twenty,000 to afford a $375 or 400,000 house. you could achieve this life for $70,000 three years ago. >> carley: my head is spinning and i want to cry. you need to make $1twenty,000 to

be considered middle class. tampa bay buccaneers dominating eagles with 32-9 win. tampa face detroit in the divisional round and in buffalo, bills putting freeze on steelers, topping pittsburgh 31-17. steelers coach mike tollin did not like a question a reporter asked about his future with the team. watch this. >> you have a year left on your contract -- >> carley: that was one notable moment. there was this, brave bills fans jumping through a flaming table. bills mafia at work and away they go. there go the table, them and flames. great tv, i do not understand. >> brian: what about the guy that took off his shirt? >> carley: they could have made

snow angels, they chose to slam their body through a burning table. >> brian: football fans don't do snow angels, more on that. >> ainsley: brian said he is antiangels. >> brian: snow angels. >> ainsley: clarification. >> brian: fox weather for 1000 flights cancelled today including steve and lawrence. janice is tracking the winter storm. >> ainsley: nikki haley finishing third in iowa and striking confident tone as all eyes turn to new hampshire. >> tonight iowa made this republican primary a two-person race. >> ainsley: 2024 hopeful joins us next with how she plans to make up ground in the granite state.

there in concord, new hampshire, nikki haley. governor, great to see you. last night you came in third with 21,000 plus votes, ron desantis 21% of the vote, why do you think it is a two-person race? >> look where we started, there were 14. we had 2% in the poll and came out with a strong showing. that is iowa. now in new hampshire, stone throw from donald trump and we're going to continue to work hard. we've been here for 11 months and done 75 town halls and been in red aerodyner before. we'll talk to people. that gave us strength coming out of iowa. >> brian: you said new hampshire will fix what iowa did. how does new hampshire fix it?

>> that was a joke. i don't take it seriously as you do. iowa was good to us, new hampshire will continue to set the tone as it goes to my home state of south carolina. this is the process, what i love. marathon, not a sprint. we are excited about the energy in new hampshire and sendoff iowa gave us. >> brian: you came on late. you ended in third. elise stefanik, fellow republican, calling on other candidates to drop out, what do you say elise stefanik? >> i respect elise stefanik, americans don't want to see a trump rematch. majority disapprove of both trump and biden.

both trump and biden put us billions in debt. we need a new conservative leader that is what americans are yearning for. they don't want negativity and baggage of the past. the economy, education, border, law and order and making sure we p prevent war. >> brian: last night -- you have supporters there. you were tough on much direct about trump and biden saying we have two 80 year olds, time to turn the page. was that intentional to be tough after iowa? >> i've spoken in hard truth. you had 14 candidates and we were trying to get ourselves out

and make sure people knew my record as governor and ambassador. we've come out, look at any poll in new hampshire, donald trump and i are stones throw away, we have opportunity to make a different and continue to follow what the american people want. we don't want more 80 year olds in washington, d.c., we don't want to hear about investigations, we're done with that. people do not want division and hatred, they want sanity and want government to work for them. this is not personal, never been personal for me. this is about making sure my kids don't live like this. no parent feels good about how their kids are coming up. average home buyer in america is 49 years old. look at young americans, they are worried about getting a job. they see debt that trump and

biden put them in. >> brian: a lot of debt came after the pandemic. you were not watching the coverage, you had to get to new hampshire. joy reid said you lost listen. >> elephant in the room, the brown lady has to try to win in party that is deeply antiimmigrant. i don't see how she becomes nominee with donald trump around. maybe it could happen. ron desantis only argument is he is the white guy and can appeal. >> brian: do you agree with her interpretation of the results? >> joy reid lives in a different america than i do. i am a brown girl that grew up in south carolina and became

first female minority governor in history, became a un ambassador and running for president. give me reasons you think you can't do this, i will defy everybody on why we can do this and will get it done. >> brian: are you involved in a racist party? >> we're not a racist country, our goal is to make sure we are better than yesterday. try to be more perfect everyday that we can. i know, i faced racism growing up, today is better than it was then. our goal is to lift up everybody, not divide on race, gender or party, we've had enough of that in america. i'm passionate about this, i don't want my kids to think they are disadvantaged because of color or gender. if they work hard, they can do

or be anything. countries love freedom of speech and religion and freedom to be anything we want to be without government getting in the way. we have too much chaos in this country and i'm determined to get us back on track where everybody loves america again and everybody is invested in making her stronger. >> brian: primary not a caucus, more traditional. 40% of new hampshire residents not affiliated with a party. exciting week. thanks, appreciate it. governor nikki haley from new hampshire. dana perino is next and she is in iowa. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time.

theory was not a conspiracy. those are headlines, over to you. big ones. >> ainsley: former president trump notching a sleeping landslide with ron desantis edging nikki haley for a distant second as they all turn focus to the crucial state of new hampshire. >> brian: lawrence will join us, too, now it is time to bring in dana perino. she works with bill hemmer, which is not easy and she's told me that in koefsz. dana, your takeaways from the analysis. vivek ramaswamy is out and nikki haley feels embolden. if you are donald trump, how can you be upset about the results? >> dana: it was his best case scenario. last poll said donald trump

would be 48 to 50% and other candidates 20% and that did happen. it is admirable that vivek ramaswamy worked as hard as he did and he dropped out and asa hutchinson and binkley are hanging in there, with like 84 votes a piece. for president trump, his gracious tone was interesting and perhaps welcome for people who want to unite the party. if ron desantis and nikki haley, who say they are full steam ahead and going afterhim, i don't know how long that tone will last. he has a good day here in iowa yesterday and finds himself back in the courtrooms. all voter analysis shows those are helping him.

democrats miscalculated there. >> lawrence: dana, i'm curious your thoughts and we've been following this race and polls are right. i don't think any of us were surprised by the outcome. there is criticism from the ron desantis about it being called too soon and all of us in the media called it. someone that used to work on political campaigns and worked in thes white house, what do you make of that criticism? >> dana: i understand where they are coming from and think the party should change results. results were coming to the media before voting ended. i don't think it would have changed the result, president trump has had the lead. should iowa or other states

think about how that works? maybe. whatever the rules are, the media will follow. >> ainsley: you mentioned being in and out of the courtroom is helping donald trump and helping him joe biden's approval rating is so low. only 13% of americans say they are better off since joe biden took office. what is coming up on your show? there was a picture of bill hemmer feeding a baby on the plane, can you explain this? >> dana: i can. kellyanne conway will be with us in iowa. governor chris sununu, will be here. regarding bill hemmer, america's favorite. a mom had a toddler on a flight by herself and had a baby who she couldn't handle both. hemmer held her for two hours. >> brian: while texting.

weapons bound for houthi rebels last week. missiles and war heads for houthi medium range ballistic missiles. the two u.s. seals reported lost at sea were involved in the operation. the search continues for them. meanwhile as defense secretary austin was released from the hospital he put out a statement saying this, i'm grateful for the excellent care i received at walter reed medical center as i continue to recuperate and perform my duties from home, i'm eager to fully recover and return to the pentagon. in the two weeks of his hospitalization they were 24 attacks on u.s. forces in iraq and syria. 137 total attacks since october 17th. and yesterday we learned this. there was houthi missile struck

a u.s.-owned vessel. it is the first time a u.s. ship has been hit. the captain on that vessel saying that it was minimal damage. no one was injured. ainsley and brian. >> brian: the red sea is not possible. the ripple effects what the houthis are doing are going to cost every country that uses that waterway which is 15% of the world's commerce. >> it is in excess of $20 billion. the number is much higher. we'll dig that up for you. the u.s. maritime administration is warning all commercial vessels to avoid the red sea and gulf of aden until further notice because of the tensions in dealing with the houthis. >> ainsley: will this be a major escalation now? >> we don't know it would be a major escalation of any kind.

but we do know that as a houthis continue to target u.s. ships, then the u.s. will likely respond. we were hoping there would be a press conference and ask those questions today. doesn't look like we'll get it. we have five inches of snow out here and operations seem to be slow this morning. >> brian: commanders and advise force from iran are on the ground in yemen playing a direct role in the houthi rebel attacks. they have a spy ship almost directed the rockets that are going after those vessels in the region. >> we have no intel about that. that's a great question. we would like to pose to the pentagon. if you connect complicated dots, brian, you also have the iran revolutionary guard corps claiming responsibility for striking what they claim to be an israeli -- in erbil, iraq. a lot of danger everywhere you look. >> ainsley: thank you so much.

[applause]

>> we're back in iowa at the breakfast club. let's talk with some folks. now that the caucus is over, who do you plan on voting for? >> i think i'll go for mr. trump. >> why is that? >> i think he is a better leader than what we have now in office. and yeah, that's why. i want to vote for mr. trump. i got my red shirt on today. >> lawrence: thank you so much. let's move on. sir, yesterday you didn't get the opportunity to caucus but if you would have gone, who would you have caucused for? >> trump. i think that with the economy and the border, the biggest thing on the border is we're housing people illegal immigrants, not taking care of our veterans for starters. but in new york they said yesterday that they have a school that's going to remote

learning so they can put immigrants in there. and i think we should be taking care of our own and shutting down the border. i lost a nephew to fentanyl overdose and the border with the drugs is a big issue with me. >> lawrence: some people that are running for president say donald trump can't win a general election, what do you think? >> i think he can if it was done fairly it's hands down he will win. the only thing i think democrats can do it would be what they did in 2020. >> lawrence: we're on to new hampshire. see you back in studio tomorrow. >> brian: this just in. nikki haley says she will not debate unless donald trump debates. the next debate is off. >> ainsley: everyone have a great day. see you tomorrow morning. >> we want to thank th
