for kids and democrats don't. i'm told this vote this week could be close. >> dana: all right. that's interesting. thank you. voting happening everywhere. before we go two things. i just saw axios reporting hutchinson is getting out of the race and look at bill hemmer on his way to iowa. bill hemmer held a baby for two hours on a flight for a mom of a busy toddler who was having a hard time on the plane. >> bill: we went to zone defense. she took care of the 2-year-old and i took care of the 6-month-old. amelia is a sweetheart. the mom is a surgeon working in cedar rapids, iowa. >> dana: everyone is asking if your babysitting services are available. i want to take of brock before you get to. that is a cute kid. we'll see you back in new york. >> harris: fox news alert. iowa down, new hampshire up

next. iowans sent their message loud and clear last night choosing former president donald trump by a record breaking margin and republicans are dropping out. ramaswamy last night and then just ten minutes ago former arkansas governor asa hutchinson has suspended his campaign. last night the associated press called the iowa caucuses winner in fewer than 60 minutes after people had begun voting. governor ron desantis in second. a distant second. and just a few points ahead of nikki haley. ramaswamy who i mentioned was only single digit support. each candidate with a message to voters after those results. one of them shaking up the race. >> as of this moment, we are going to suspend this presidential campaign. >> we deserve a new direction under new conservative leadership.

we deserve a president who will focus on the needs of our people, not on themselves. >> because of your support, in spite of all of that that they threw at us, everyone against us, we've got our ticket punched out of iowa. >> i want to congratulate ron and nikki for having a good time together. we'll put america first and make america great again. again, iowa, we love you. >> harris: the former president make america great again message resonating in iowa. 62% of the state's gop voters support make america great again, the movement. and when it comes to the issues, the border, leapfrogged the economy as the most important to iowa voters. in "focus", judd greg former governor and senator of new hampshire. we begin with team fox coverage. alexis mcadams is in the granite

state. let's go to bill melugin in iowa. >> good morning to you. trump was absolutely dominant last night and finished the evening above that 50% threshold. he got more votes than everybody running against him all combined together. after his big win it appeared he was extending a little bit of an olive branch. listen. >> it would be so nice if we could come together and straighten out the world and straighten out the problems and straighten out all the death and destruction we're witnessing that is practically never been like this. it is so important and i want to make that a big part of our message. we'll come together. it will happen soon, too. >> as for ron desantis and nikki haley they were neck-and-neck all night long. eventually desantis finished in second place with about 21% of the vote. you heard him say earlier he feels he punched his ticket out of iowa with the second place

finish. nikki haley finished in third place with 19% of the vote. despite that third place finish she says this is now a two-person race including herself. take a listen. >> sounds like we may have had the wrong sound there. we'll move to vivek ramaswamy. he finished in fourth place last night just under 8%. he announced he is suspending his campaign and dropping out of the race and endorsing donald trump and be on the campaign trail with trump in new hampshire later in week joining him at a rally. it was interesting. according to a fox news voter analysis we asked iowans what is the most important issue facing the country right now? coming in at number one was immigration with about 41% of the vote. that came in ahead of the economy and jobs as well as foreign policy and healthcare. so immigration number one as the

border crisis continues to completely spiral out of control with all-time records constantly being broken. we'll send it back to you. >> harris: thank you. one week until the next step, new hampshire. the primary there a very different contest. analysts say a very different electorate. >> we also have a different kind of demographic in new hampshire as well. older population but the young vote. with the independents. >> small area. they don't have anywhere to go. they look them in the eye and able to have these tough conversations and the customers do a great job at vetting them. >> harris: nikki haley is claiming it's two-person race. she is in new hampshire today. the former president headed there later today. florida governor ron desantis with a stop in south carolina before he hits new hampshire later today as well. alexis mcadams has more from bedford, new hampshire.

>> hi. we'll see you here in new hampshire in a matter of days. the snow behind me. nikki haley already on the ground talking to voters. she thinks she has put in the ground work in new hampshire to close in on donald trump. watch. >> you can look at the polls in new hampshire. a stone's throw away from donald trump and so we're going to continue to work really hard. we have been here for 11 months and done over 75 town halls. >> we're now one week out, if you can believe it, from the first elimination primary. former president donald trump, ron desantis and nikki haley will be on the ground tonight campaigning in new hampshire talking with voters and trying to get more support. desantis stopped in south carolina first. he says he is sending a message to nikki haley that he is not backing down trying to stomp in her home state. the gop race is tightening here. much different race here than

iowa. if you look at the poll from last week before chris christie and ramaswamy dropped out trump led among likely voters with 39%. haley has 32%. a 12-point jump from november alone. ramaswamy suspended his campaign and campaign with trump tonight here in new hampshire. we'll see where his votes go in the granite state. what do new hampshire voters care about the most? immigration and the economy. the northern border is a big issue. >> when you have more people on the terrorist watch list coming through the northern border than the southern, given all the international tensions right now, folks are putting the border security as a national security issue. >> nikki haley said that she is not going to debate anymore even though there are some planned debates in the coming days unless trump or president biden is up on that stage. desantis called her out on

twitter saying nikki haley is running to be trump's v.p. a lot going on. >> harris: ramaswamy endorsed president trump. we don't know what it will mean for voters until they show us. great to sigh, alexis, thank you. "wall street journal" headline today having conquered iowa trump sets his sights on new hampshire and haley. the editorial board wrote haley's relative strength in the granite state speaks to trump's weakness in the general election. independents can vote in either party primary in the swing state. haley is attracting these voters who will be crucial in the half dozen states that will be decisive in november and most polls show she defeats biden easily while trump is barely ahead despite the president's low approval rating. judd greg, former governor and senator for new hampshire has already endorsed nikki haley and

he is in "focus." welcome, governor, good to see you. so let's just unpack last night for your candidate. she came in third place and ron desantis for all that hard work, 99 counties, all those things he did and he said all those things that he faced as well, he came in second to trump. everybody is distant from trump. we'll just set him on the shelf for a second. with desantis and nikki haley, game on. >> well, not in new hampshire. this is really a two-person race in new hampshire. desantis is polling in the maybe five to 6% range. he wouldn't even qualify for the debate under most debate structures in new hampshire. and so this truly is a two-person race in new hampshire. it is an interesting race in that independents can vote in our primary. and the independent in new

hampshire has leaned to the right. very strongly dominated by educated women and they do not like trump and so i suspect you will see a significant independent vote because there is no reason to vote the democratic primary. there isn't really one. the president won't come to new hampshire. so they will move into the republican primary. plus i don't think trump can get to 50% in new hampshire. in 2016 he had 32% but he had four major candidates running against him in the teens and 20s. this time there will only be one candidate running against him in new hampshire that will be competitive with him and that's nikki haley. >> harris: do you think she can get to 50% against trump? >> i don't know. we'll find out. new hampshire is a late deciding state. people right up until the last weekend make their mind up usually on the last weekend. >> harris: i was there during campaign season and with vivek

ramaswamy and family. i met people who had gone to events for candidates three and four times to get to know them. they really lean in. iowa does, too. it is amazing to see americans caring this much. it is heartwarming. i want to get to this. one columnist argues, a quote, gov new york city, haley still doesn't have a real path to the nomination. writing that her numbers are buoyed by independents and democrats that may bode well for a general election but not carry her through a republican primary because the other two candidates are popular among republicans. >> that person misses the point. the path to the nomination is narrow. there is no question about that. desantis doesn't have a path. but haley does. it's narrow. if she does well in new

hampshire and moves super tuesday today. you have massachusetts, maine, vermont, california, colorado. these are not strong states for president trump. he will do well in the southern states. she could come out of super tuesday with a significant delegate count. in a two-person race things change. we all know that. we've all been around this. >> harris: i will challenge you a little bit, governor. there is a psychology when people look at someone who can or can't win their own home state. you jumping to march 5th to super tuesday skips over the contest in south carolina, which i mean we'll find out if that was a smart thing for desantis's campaign to do is to dip in a little bit in south carolina. lay that ground that hey, nikki haley, i'm in your backyard and do event after event in new hampshire. that might end up working for him. what won't work for her is if

she gets trounced by double digits even by donald trump in south carolina. don't you think that will have an impact? >> that would have an impact, no question about it. i think, however, desantis running in south carolina actually takes votes from trump, not haley. so it's probably good for her to have him stay in. but if she doesn't and goes into super tuesday as the alternative look at the states voting. she could do very well. is it a clear path? no, it's a narrow and difficult path. but i think your newspaper correspondent misses the point. there is a path. >> harris: she announced this morning she is not interested in doing any other debates unless they have donald trump or joe biden. your quick thoughts on that. >> i think she is right. in new hampshire there is no reason for a debate desantis.

he is at five or 6%. wouldn't qualify for a debate. i think the president has to stop hiding from the questions which might be asked in the debate format. trying to flush him out and get him on stage with her would be interesting. i would love to see the two debate. he is very aggressive and effective. i don't see why he is backing away from it. >> harris: he gets so much punching from the media that is liberal and hates him. i saw this in 16 and 20. he gets a debate every time he walks out of his front door. they are on him. it's not the same thing as debating a competitor within your own party but an interesting exercise if you look for reps. >> on the other side of the coin he has a huge boost from the mainstream liberal media. they want him to be president. they want him to be the nominee. >> harris: they think biden can beat him. >> they think he is the most

beatable candidate. let's face it, if it's between nikki haley and donald trump taking on biden, i'm not sure biden will be the nominee. i don't think he will be. i think he will step down. as a practical matter nikki haley will run well against biden. she picks up the independent vote. >> harris: we'll watch every inch of it and all of it. i hope you'll come back. governor judd gregg, great to have you on. days after president biden said iran knows not to do anything, well, now it's attacked in the middle east has gotten stronger. the latest coming dangerously close to a u.s. consulate and iran's backed and trained terrorist fighters have spent months targeting our forces in the region.

>> harris: iran is on the move against us. yesterday iranian revolutionary guard actually fired missiles into northern iraq not far from the u.s. consulate. iran is using its paid buddies, terrorists, to attack our forces, too. houthi killers hit a u.s.-own ship off the coast of yemen.

those strikes may have been in retaliation for some moves that we're finally making. u.s. and u.k. hit more than 60 houthi targets last week. we also learned the u.s. navy seized iranian-made weapons last week. they were headed to houthi fighters in yemen. those same people have attacked dozens of commercial ships in the red sea over the last couple of months and iran-backed terrorists have targeted u.s. forces 137 time since october 17th. general jack keane with this. >> iran doesn't care how many rockets and missiles we destroy in yemen. they will just give them more. iran further doesn't care how many of the houthi rebels we kill. they know three a radicalized

group and get new members. they're the center of gravity. we have to organize ourselves to go against them. >> harris: there is a cloud over all this instability and danger. defense secretary lloyd austin just back home from his two-week hospital stint after surgery the week before that didn't go well. at least as anticipated. along the lines a lot of controversy since the white house didn't even know where he was for three days. the pentagon says secretary austin will work from home for the time being. doctors orders. breaking news just now. fox learned that just today the united states hit and destroyed four iran-provided houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles in yemen. steve hilton, fox news contributor. first your reaction to that breaking news. >> well, too little too late. that's why people are so terrified now about an escalation.

the weakness of the biden administration has invited this escalation. we can look at the sham bell surrounding lloyd austin. that itself presents a message of weakness but so often with this administration. this is a matter of deliberate policy design at the beginning of this administration. they have had a policy of appeasement. that's what it is. because they believe sincerely, it seems, that if you are nice to bad guys, then they will suddenly become good. exactly the opposite has happened. you see it time and time again. what you've seen is the collapse of u.s. deterrents built up with president trump and you saw it with putin where they dropped the sanctions on nord stream hoping it would appease him. you got the opposite result. you see it in afghanistan and

iran desperate to get back into the nuclear deal. the message that goes around the world is we don't trust america to really deter aggression. they've actually got a name for the biden administration bragged about it called integrated deterrents. what they meant by that it seems is we'll use technology and we no longer need to rely on our military so much to deter bad guys. look at the result. a more dangerous and chaotic world. >> harris: wow, axios is reporting that president biden is running out of patience with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he will hit this target. the two haven't spoken in three and a half weeks. the last call ended with frustration. biden saying this conversation is over and there it is. [shouting]

take a look at this. the anti-israel protesting in our nation far from over. a massive group in new york city marched to multiple hospitals including a large cancer center. they were chanting shame and complicity and genocide. the group's organizers say they targeted the hospitals because they take in donations from jewish billionaires. one witness a 74-year-old jewish man expressed horror over the scene saying he felt like he was in 1939 germany. steve. >> it is unbelievable. so despicable. you can joke about it and say sometimes when you look at the antics of these pro-palestinian demonstrators it is almost as if there is a secret operation sent to undermine the palestinian cause in the eyes of normal decent people who look at this stuff and think where are your hearts? remember, this is the same kind of attitude we saw right at the beginning of this when we just

couldn't believe our eyes as we saw people ripping down those posters on the streets including hostages who were children and babies. it's the same kind of mentality. as to the broader point about biden, it's incredible how quickly we and it seems the political system on the democratic side forgets about the absolute horror and atrocity. >> harris: i think they see there is a far left section of their party that won't vote for him because they are telling him tlaib is letting him know. he has to capitulate he will lose the muslim vote, too. and the game is on. so yeah, it's sad all around because his policies don't help the situation on the ground in israel anyway. they are going back and forthright now. it is exactly what you say the hate is driving this. those people in the streets if they wanted to help the palestinians this is not how you would do it.

you would find a way to get some money to them and ask these other arab nations to take more of them in. >> that's right. by the way to that point. look what's going on with the other arab nations, the massive fortified border wall they are building to keep the palestinians out. where is the solidarity? it is exactly right. there is so much more that could be done than this despicable attack basically on anyone who is associated with the state of israel or jewishness. it is unbelievable. >> harris: the district attorney who is going after donald trump in the state of georgia is now facing new accusations of wrongdoing. boy, they pile up day-by-day. republicans want answers now over her hiring and alleged lover to be the lead prosecutor in the case. new receipts raising even more questions. republicans are shelling out big cash to attack one another. >> we know her as crooked hillary but to nikki haley, she

i'm running for your issues. >> harris: just a sample of the attack ads that flooded the media in iowa. federal election filings show they spent $123 million in advertising. ron desantis took the brunt of the negative ads nearly $48 million worth against him. nikki haley was next, 24 million against her. former president trump faced 23 million and the current president 21 million in the state. so now i think i understand why ron desantis often says with all that was against us blah blah blah about coming in second and all of that. i get it now. a lot of ad money against him. miranda devine, "new york post" columnist. your take on the cash spent. >> well look, it's fantastic for

donald trump that the two main candidates scrambling for second place, ron desantis and nikki haley, just threw cash at each other to try and destroy each other and brought each other down. it does work, negative advertising does work. ron desantis last night in des moines when he was giving his sort of speech after coming in second said they threw everything but the kitchen sink at us and we had $50 million of negative ads against us. i think donald trump said this a long time ago. it would suit him if there were a lot of people vying to battle him for the nomination and because the donors have to make up their mind between haley and desantis. this is the way it is and doesn't look like either will drop out soon. >> harris: that's really interesting. i want to get more of your take on why the negative ads work. whenever you interview voters now, i'm sure you find it, too, they want somebody to bring the

country together, not all the negativity. what you are telling me is maybe they don't know what they want? >> look, i talked to some voters last night at a caucus event just outside of des moines and went 53% for donald trump. 27% for desantis. the ones who were going to vote for desantis and did vote for him mentioned that they didn't like the debate at which nikki haley and desantis were tearing strips off each other the most recent one. it was so negative and carping. they don't like that. by contrast, donald trump seemed to breeze into iowa on saturday night where the others had been battling through blizzards trying to get to all 99 counties. donald trump didn't break into a sweat and yet he just looked sunny and optimistic and talked about being there to battle the bad guys of the biden

administration. but he didn't seem to be -- no one seemed to lay a glove on him. i spoke to a caucus goer last night saying they would vote for donald trump even if he were in jail. >> harris: there you go. when you say no one laid a glove on him in terms of his rivals, even last night when they were taking the stage one after the other at some of the caucus locations, i guess that would be an awkward place to do it but if you are trying to beat the guy who has a far lead, you might do it while he is actually there. i didn't see anybody do that. i wasn't at all 1600 locations. the georgia prosecutor leading the election interference case against former president trump is now facing some pretty interesting questions. records are showing that fulton county district attorney fani willis paid her alleged lover more money than one of the state's top racketeering experts, john floyd.

the contract showed floyd got an hourly rate of $150. wade who she allegedly had a romantic affair with. never prosecuted a felony got $250 per hour. earlier this week fani willis was claiming all her counsels were paid the same rate. i wonder why she doesn't know those things are fact checkable? a scathing op-ed says she cloaks herself in god and race to say she is above criticism. on sunday she claimed the accusations against her and wade are because they are black. here is what clay travis told me yesterday. >> this is a dead prosecution. i think fani willis will have to step down and wade will have to step down. if the state of georgia really gets into this investigation, which governor brian kemp on down, everybody should be involved in this, i think it's possible there is a criminal

prosecution against willis herself based on these allegations. >> harris: your take. >> the corruption is unbelievable and she should be taken off the case immediately. she should be prosecuted. she has been living high on the hog with the many from the government meant to be spent on this prosecution. it's a political prosecution and witch hunt. ultimately it is very good for donald trump. >> harris: so how does this play out now going forward? does this case get the limelight that then others will start to look into their own cases to make sure that they are strong against, you know, has anybody done anything they shouldn't be doing? how they didn't catch this on her own team i'll never know or maybe they knew but it's like he is the boss and he is doing that. >> the bad odor around this fani willis case will spread to the other cases against donald trump. they are all seen by the voters as much the same.

it's seen as political. donald trump makes the point that each case comes to fruition right before very important dates in the election. and so it is just seen by his voters as completely irrelevant, bogus and just a ploy for joe biden to knock off his rival because he is so frightened of him. it doesn't make any difference to the voters. they will still vote for donald trump. >> harris: look, authorities are looking into it. the alleged lover situation and fani willis, i don't know how you go forward with a case with integrity under that kind of limelight but we'll see how it works out with allegations which no doubt are getting a lot of attention. miranda devine, thank you. senator joe manchin says he will soon meet with president joe biden and he is looking to push biden toward the political center. if he doesn't manage to do that, would we then see joe manchin jump into the race maybe with no

>> harris: the money grab. president biden is now fundraising off of donald trump's historic win in the iowa caucuses. figure that one out. biden posted this election was always going to be you and me versus extreme maga republicans. it was true yesterday and it will be true tomorrow. his team also says maga means haley and desantis, too. >> there is no difference between the republican candidates in this field. tonight's contest is simply a question of whether you like your maga trump agenda wrapped in the original packaging or with high heels or with lifts in their boots. >> harris: i mean, can we stay

classy? app apparently not. the biden campaign announced it raised more than 97 million in the fourth quarter as has 117 million cash on hand. they say that's a highest total amassed by a democrat in history at this point in the cycle. katie pavlich with this take. >> they said $100 million here in iowa, republicans. joe biden raked in 100 million in the last quarter and he is not campaigning. so the question is, how expensive is a participation trophy going to be? >> jacque heinrich live at the white house. >> last night as fox projected trump to win the iowa caucuses, the biden campaign blasted out an email with the subject line dangerous. asking for donations saying it doesn't matter who wins in iowa because all of the candidates on the ballot are extreme maga

republicans. this has been their planned response all along. >> so you are concerns no matter who the republican candidate is? >> let me tell you this, no matter who the republican nominee is we're winning. we're winning. >> team biden believes playing up maga threats to democracy got democrats elected so they are sticking with it for 2024. email hit nikki haley for saying she would support a national abortion ban that would pass. desantis for saying the federal government shouldn't lead on gun reform and trump for saying he would be a dictator on day one. almost four in ten caucus goers don't identify as part of the maga movement. the biden campaign is grappling with internal research showing voters they are targeting don't believe that trump will be the eventual nominee. they've been slamming the caucus results they have been trying to

be careful about alienating some republican voters. the campaign is touting huge third quarter fundraising to try to demonstrate that voters in iowa don't want the candidates on the ballot. biden is still contending with dismal polling. his approval rating hitting a 15-year low in the abc/"washington post" poll at 33%. >> harris: i don't know if $117 million in the coffers can make people like you. the likeability for hillary clinton didn't gnd his right now, his job approval rating is in the tank tank. thank you. the governor of illinois is an advisor for the biden campaign. pritzker is trying to find a silver lining in trump's iowa victory. >> this is the most famous republican. the guy who basically built the modern republican party, the maga republican party that democrats are running against

and half the people in that party didn't vote for donald trump. so i think that is telling. it tells you the weakness of donald trump and also the opportunity for democrats. >> harris: that's almost laughable. he doesn't know what history is when it's made. half did vote for donald trump. the margin was 30 points. this is confounding. matt gorman, vice president of the targeted victory and former senior advisor to senator tim scott and david car lucci, former democratic new york state senator. david, put on your secret decoder ring on an tell me what he said. >> 123 million spent. less than 15% of elible voters come out to caucus. 50% diehard trump supporters voted for trump and the des moines register they say only 71% of caucus goers will actually vote for trump. so this is, i think, concerning

to trump. look, he is a former president. he is one of the only former presidents to ever run in a iowa caucus and the fact that he only gets 50% really is not saying much. i think he has a long way ahead of him. the fact that you have really the hard core base yes, they love trump. they love that red meat but it is not independents and democrats. >> harris: you know no one is 100% everything. your argument is interesting. matt, take it away. >> i guess what i'm curious about is they keep talking how weak donald trump is. a weak candidate this and that. but he is beating joe biden head-to-head and has been consistently for the last several months. take it terre me i was in iowa with tim scott. one of the biggest and best arguments we had and all the non-trump candidates had is when donald trump wasn't winning head-to-head match-up against joe biden. once he started our best argument was taken away from us. whether it's haley, desantis or

trump, they are all beating biden to some extent whatever it may be one-on-one. again, if trump is so weak, he is still beating joe biden. joe biden is the most historically weak incumbent we've seen in 15 years if not longer. >> harris: back in september the "washington post" wrote a column saying joe biden should not run for re-election. now he is doubling down. >> the american public does seem to be concerned about his age. that's not you or me saying it. it is a feeling that's out there in the public. the polls consistently show that. i can't fault the leadership he is giving on these crises but i haven't lost my concern nor has the public. >> harris: david. >> i think when the only argument is age, that's a good place to be. this commentator said look, you can't fault him on his leadership. internationally and domestic. and yes, these are challenging problems and as the president you have to take leadership.

but i would just jocks to -- are concerned about his age but more concerned about donald trump and where donald trump hits the ceiling. >> harris: they are most concerned about immigration and the economy in that order in iowa and we'll see what happens when we get to new hampshire. matt, i want to get your take on this idea that when you put biden up next to someone, what you get is well, you know, the other guy. the other guy, the other guy. but biden is the one with the lowest approval rating. >> look, they can't defend their own policies, their own failures so they go after others. you are absolutely right. again, when they talk about raising all this money that's table steaks. he is the sitting president of the united states. if he wasn't raising record sums of money like every other president does regardless of party that would be a major red flag. i work for jeb bush and a lot of

great candidates with a lot of money. it doesn't help at the end of the day if people can't trust you are able to do the job. if gas and the food prices are out of control. you will see the dichotomy between the two. the left wants to talk about democracy, how it is at risk. a lot of voters whatever party needs to win they want to hear how can you make housing, buying a car, food prices, gas prices, all affordable again. that's the tension you'll hear between the two candidates i think the next year or so. >> harris: if republicans can stay there and offer some economic issues and take some of the spots that are growing in the economy and sell them better than the president can because he is doing a miserable job at all of it, it will be interesting. one of his top advisors symone sanders said stop with bidenomics already, it's not working. great to see you.
