touting his economic successes. how did the president do and was this a preview of his re-election campaign? we ask republican strategist john thomas as well as democratic strategist laura fink. thanks for joining us this morning. >> good morning. >> good to be here. lauren: up late, up early as well. john, the best is yet to come, was that the message you heard from the president last night? >> it was. it was a tone of optimism. it was a bit of a victory lap. the president should in fact take a psychiatric tri lap. he -- victory lap. he walked into the room last night from the highest approval rating that he's had in his entire presidency, 49%, 50% reelect numbers, record unemployment levels, consumer confidence is high. he has every reason to feel good, both politically and for the direction of this country and it showed last night. [ laughte.lauren: if you look e state of the economy, laura, the president has a 63% approval rating there, the best number in almost 20 years.

how did democrats message against this, especially after the debacle we saw in iowa? >> well, first of all, i don't think those two things are related. it is a strong you economy and it is amazing that the president and colleagues are celebrating a 49% you approval rating with the economy as strong as this, reagan won 49 states, it's remarkable. democrats don't have to message this because a majority of the american people does not approve of the job trump is doing in spite of the economy. let's go back to that for a second. the last three years under obama's administration, jobs were -- more jobs were created than they the first three years of trump. seven of the last 11 presidents saw a faster gdp growth than this president. i think americans are not seeing it in their paychecks because wages are veritably flat and so he has to actually explain how

everyday americans are feeling it when they don't necessarily have stock portfolios. lauren: it's interesting because, john, we heard the exact opposite from the president last night. he very much touted the great american comeback and the blue collar boom. as we get the numbers from iowa, and you look at the fact that, you know, you've got four or five contenders in double digits, what does this say, john, about iowa? should they be so important in our electoral process? and there's no clear winner. it's confusing now for many voters. where's the enthusiasm? >> let's go back to maybe spreadsheet class 101 and learn how to work a spreadsheet, count 99 different captains to report pretty simple data. it's pretty amazing that the democrats managed to botch something that is really, truly simple. let's clear thunderstor-clear t. the woke left doesn't like iowa

as a first state in the primary process because they think it's too white. i actually like iowa because it's a representative of both rural america, suburban america, and big cities. i think it's healthy that that somebody can't just buy a couple big media markets and win the first state. you have to work the retail politics. so, look, i know the left doesn't like it because they don't think the state's woke enough but i think it's healthy for the process. lauren: coming out of iowa, laurie, do you think bernie sanders can campaign on this, that -- rail against the democratic establishment or do you think this is a win for someone like mike bloomberg who is doubling his ad spending. >> one thing i have to say, john, is don't worry about being woke. you're a long way from it. but i will say -- >> not trying to be. >> you shouldn't comment on it. the iowa caucuses are exclusive and that's the problem. it measures intensity of people that want to show up to a gym for several hours and not

necessarily the broad base of support in iowa or anywhere else. it looks like we have three candidates coming out of iowa strong, having proven themselves, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders and at the top right now it looks like pete buttigieg, a historic night for pete buttigieg, being an openly gay candidate, potentially winning those caucuses. now you move into new hampshire. i think that the field is going to continue to cull. you can see the broad support that these candidates have and you can see the energy of the voters as they they come in. the one other thing about the caucuses of note, more than 60% of the voters were women, energy among women in the electorate and we'll continue to see that state to state. lauren: laura, john, thank you very much for the time. >> thanks. >> thank you. cheryl: we are watching big news this morning, take a look at what's happening in the futures market right now, news breaking overnight that a possible drug to treat the coronavirus successfully has been found. that news coming out of the u.k. and some headlines out of china.

debt for 43 million americans. >> make every public college and university in america tuition free. >> reporter: some educators say the policies are not practical. >> there's no such thing as cancelling debt. there's shifting debt. if someone doesn't pay it, someone else has to pay it. >> reporter: part of the problem isn't just the price tag. some students pick a major at a college that isn't worth the cost. >> we can't not allow them to borrow but we can educate them on what borrowing means, what bore hborrowing it lively means. >> reporter: student debt hit n a all-time high and has more than doubled in the last decade. some people think the problem is so big, a president needs to fix it. >> it's actually going to help the economy an incredible a amount. to be able to have young people that aren't paying money every month to as massive loan company or the government, they could invest the money in the community. >> reporter: others think the

federal government getting involved is part of the problem. >> making it free just means that someone else is paying for it. lauren: hillary, thank you very much. after monday's iowa caucus, disaster, at least one state is saying they will not use the same app that caused all the problems but other states are expanding online and smartphone voting. cheryl: is this whole thing really a good idea? are we ready for this in this country? let's bring in from fox news headlines 24/7 brett larson r, such a tech disaster. >> the iowa caucuses showed us kind of put a spotlight on using technology in situations like this. again, we said this yesterday and the more we learn about it, it seems like it was a data bottleneck that happened in iowa. it was a lot of data coming in at the exact same time and they weren't prepared to handle it. and the backup system of just picking up the phone and making a phone call also seemed to be a bit overwhelming, so a little too much trust on technology in this instance. nevada is saying we're not going

to use that p same app. we have multiple systems in place to avoid something like that. interestingly enough, a lot of the coverage we're seeing with nevada, they haven't said what software program they're going to be using. that could be a security precaution, maybe not let everybody know what we're going to use. cheryl: it was reportedly the same one that -- >> that's what they were going to do. they quickly said no, we have a bunch of different plans in place. lauren: should we use apps or technology at all in this situation? >> it's easy to make technology the boogie man in a lot of these situations. when we look at iowa, there's a lot of human error involved in what went wrong in iowa. it's smart of nevada to say we're going to go with plan b because we saw how bad this worked out. it's unfortunate that the first in the nation caucus had to be using for the first time this software program. that a was not a good idea. i would have suggested against that. in terms of using technology to vote, we need to make sure that

it's secured. we need to be using things like block chain technology where it's an open platform that everybody can see but it's really difficult to hack into a block chain technology. talking about bitcoin, those are a good use of block chain technology. we've seen ibm use block chain to protect the food sore sourcem farm to table. it's very secure. west virginia is talking about using technology to allow people with disabilities to vote and mill rivet rains or people stationed over-- military veterans or people stationed overseas. there are ways to do it securely. we need to stay focused on that. cheryl: do you think it's too soon? do you think we need to wait maybe two years, four years to really roll out technology to vote? this country? >> we are falling behind a bit in terms of using technology to vote. i think what we need to do is we need to have a bipartisan look at this, we need to look at what all the he features are, what

all the vulnerabilities are and make sure we're protecting against that and make sure we're not leaving a back door open to anyone or any possible hacking scenario. there are ways of using technology to do this. we just have to do it right. i know that sounds very vague. lauren: sometimes old school is better. our question of the day is would you be comfortable using an app, a mobile app to vote? let us know. you can reach us on facebook, or twitter, as you see right there. cheryl: brett larson, thank you, sir. lauren: you can catch brett on fox news headlines 24/7, sirius xm channel 11 15*. 115. the dow is up 247 points, nasdaq jumping 85 this morning. it will open, the nasdaq, at an all-time high. the s&p is awfully close. a comeback story set to grace the small screen, the inspiring story of how one young woman changed her life and her career after a near death experience. cheryl: can't wait for that.

really crushed my spirit. and there was -- there are physical challenges but the psychological ones were really, really hard. luckily, i have amazing family and friends and was deeply supported and i was able to kind of trai transcend all of those s and turn them into a yes. lauren: which is what you do now, you're a motivational speaker and a life coach. it's inspiring to hear your story, how you took the worst possible situation, chronic pain, permanent damage and saying, yeah, i'm better for it. how do you make that transition and how do people hear that transition? >> that's such a great question. i think it's really about understanding that i am one of the luckiest people on earth. there is no good reason why a person's body would be crushed by an 18-wheeler and they would would still be able to live. i understand that as a truth, that i'm very, very lucky and there are he very many people who the same thing could have happened and they wouldn't have had as good of an outcome.

cheryl: , well, breaking overnight, scientists in the

united kingdom have reportedly reached a breakthrough in efforts to come one a coronavirus vaccine. this is the latest development in what's been really a wild ride for wall street based on this virus. is this a buying opportunity for investors, let's bring in chris touy. chris, good morning. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: did the markets overreact to the coronavirus spread? >> i don't necessarily think they overreacted. i think if you think about the market, they've been very, very strong the last 12 to 18 months which is primarily been driven by global monetary policy as well as continued trade confirmation. we got phase one between the u.s. and china. we've got some direction with regards to brexit. and we're starting to see continued stabilization with regards to global manufacturing. so in our view, the market's been in a good place but we're in a situation where prices probably starting to exceed

fundamentals and so we were probably due for a little bit of a correction. last week, we saw the market go back about 2% which is probably the largest pullback we've seen in about six months. cheryl: so i guess to your point, you know, this could be a buying opportunity for investors. it's interesting because we had larry kudlow on fox business and he talked about the fact that really this coronavirus and the contagion and the spread could really kind of take a hit out of the initial positive pop we're getting from the signing of the trade deal with china, phase one. your reaction to that? >> no, i think that's definitely true. china is a very important part of the global supply chain. i think if you look at at global growth this year, we think we'll continue to see it accelerate. but what is maybe different from most other places on the street our belief is most of the growth is going to be driven outside of the u.s. and in particular in emerging markets.

so if we were to see the coronavirus which is obviously something that's of great concern continue to be a problem, particularly in china, our expectations are that chinese gdp could probably pull back 50 basis points to 100 basis points. cheryl: yeah. >> which would have a dramatic impact with regards to global growth. definitely something worth monitoring. cheryl: if they added stimulus which they've done in the past which is something peter navarro has been very against, that's the manipulation of currency and the stimulus there. i want to ask about technology. a lot of investors get nervous about the tech bubble, they call it a tech bubble now that we're in. we still think about 2000 and the bubble that burst then. is technology investing different now, do you think, these stocks, this sector? >> i think it is different in the sense that if you look at the tech boom or the tech wreck, you were really in a situation where these technology companies weren't necessarily producing real earnings and were in a situation where technology companies are really the driving

force in most major indices and part of that is because of the profitability that they're able to generate. if you look at several technology companies from last year, and their tremendous outperformance, a lot of that wasn't necessarily driven by revenue growth. it was really driven by the balance sheet, their ability to buy back stock and project earnings going forward. so while i would say technology's had a huge run, a huge component to the -- any investor's portfolio, it does make sense to control that exposure and definitely make sure that you focus in on rebalancing and looking for other areas where there are opportunities. cheryl: chris, thank you very much for being here this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. lauren: blac lauren: backlash brewing over a military fashion faux pas. tracee: urban outfitters under fire for selling a version of a u.s. navy uniform, a move some see as disrespectful for the men and women in the military.
