supporters, people that stand with the president of the united states. you saw it last night and they will not hide their disdain. >> what they have done in the past, that was expected this time around. the military family reunited among other things. this list of accomplishments, what donald trump talked about, some of those, put them on screen because there is a long list of them. >> the list can go on quite a while, donald trump has brought america back to greatness, more jobs than jobseekers, opportunity existing, doubling the child tax credit. economy on the rise, strong military, better america with donald trump at the helm. it was an exceptional state of the union. i am so proud of what the president did, three is what he

soaring, 7 million americans have come off food stamps, politicians came and went budging to change or replace nafta but unlike so many who came before me i keep my promises, we did a job. heather: his most notable economic accomplishments make a difference for every american, chief economist for us international trade commission peter morici. we appreciate it. let's go ahead and bring up the unemployment rate under donald trump. 3.5%, the national unemployment rate and talk about a lot of different ways the economy is influencing every day people is that true? >> the unemployment rate is deceptive. it is come down more. lots of people barack obama discouraged from working to get off the bench, come back in the

labor force and so forth. that is why we were able to add jobs month after month even though we have record low unemployment. this is translated into higher wages for working people, the lowest 25% have made big wage gains. minorities are switching jobs because they are finding more opportunities and women so long walked up in traditional female jobs are starting businesses at a record pace because this is an opportunity economy. heather: i like the way you put that, opportunity space. a lot of arguments from democrats that the actual paychecks aren't increasing but they are and you mention the increasing job specifically the blue-collar jobs, manufacturing up 500,000, construction, 700,000, transportation and warehousing up 500,000 and that is just the start. >> bloomberg at harvard business school, harvard economics have

been throwing out disinformation for three use. they keep telling us we are in some sort of manufacturing recession. the president is at a job 30 of the last 34 months in manufacturing. factories don't hire workers and listeners to make more things. the problem is the left-wing, the ivy league can't accept that conservative principles can run an economy better than a government ministry. look at iowa, tally votes. heather: donald trump had something to say about democrat socialism and their healthcare ideas. we will get your response. >> there are those who want to take away your healthcare, why pay for private health insurance plans of 180 million very happy americans. we will never let socialism destroy american healthcare. heather: you will hear more

about this in a democratic debate but what are your thoughts quickly? >> would you rather call the social security administration or healthcare united to get a question answered? it is absolutely absurd. bernie sanders said he wants to shut all the private firms and replace it with a public agency. when the president made that statement the ladies and white suits were chanting who who who? the answer is you you you. the squad wants to put your healthcare out of business and replace it with a government agency. look at iowa. those who can't even add a bunch of numbers on and apps running your healthcare? heather: you are fired up and we always love it, thank you, lots of folks answering the question as well. coming up a fox news alert, what you need to know about new development on the coronavirus, listen. hi guys. this is the chevy silverado with the world's first invisible trailer. invisible trailer?

altogether? our panel is here to debate. >> our message to the terrorists is clear. you will never escape american justice. if you attack our citizens, you forfeit your life. heather: donald trump talking tough about tara while praising our military at the state of the union. pete hegseth joins us live to react to the president's powerful message up next, good morning, pete. >> it was a powerful night. the military member of those lost in the terrorists that were killed but also returning them, some heartwarming moments from the president's speech last night, we will bring it to you on "fox and friends first".

>> the president of the united states. >> we have created 7 million new jobs. this is a blue-collar boom. the state a union is stronger than ever before. rush limbaugh will be receiving our country's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom. we have invested a record-breaking $2.2 trillion in the united states, power unmatched anywhere in the world, soleimani was -- and out baghdadi is dead.

amy williams from fort bragg, north carolina. your husband is back. my fellow americans, the best is yet to come. heather: donald trump addressing the third state of the union address, one of his central themes paying tribute to heroes, service men and women and recognizing the strength of the us military. here to react, u.s. army that pete hegseth. what a lot of emotional nights last night. >> you can save that's in the military was the central theme last night, the reunion of

sergeant first class in afghanistan, hadn't seen his wife and 6-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son for months reunited. he was recently related to brigadier general, served in korea, served in vietnam, his great-grandson was 13 years old, wants to be a member of the space force, they were highlighted and he talked about the killing of the worst terrorist, out baghdadi who we remember obviously as a terrible leader of isis and soleimani, leader of the iranian quds, talked about what special operators dudes and highlighted the human aspect behind those, recognition of staff sergeant christopher harris who was killed in baghdad by a roadside bomb supplied by soleimani. his wife and daughter were there

honored in the crowd. when it comes to al baghdadi the parents of kayla mueller in the audience, she was terrifically captured by out baghdadi and isis but the mission to kill him was called 814 in remembrance of her birthday. she brought up a human side of these terrorists that have done terrible things to our country and our troops. it was a big night to recognize the military. >> one of the big moment of the night a lot of folks will be talking about is nancy pelosi ripping up donald trump's speech. not only did she rip his speech, she ripped of what she said about what you just mentioned, the last surviving tuskegee airmen, the survival of a child born at 21 weeks, the morning families of rocky jones and kayla mueller.

what is your reaction? >> not to mention educational choice and the wonderful things he laid out. my reaction is is it was disgraceful, a dastardly thing to do, completely unnecessary. she ripped up their political fortunes in the future. it was a small move, someone who is completely controlled by hatred for donald trump. the middle of freedom given to rush limbaugh last night, a conservative icon and rush limbaugh said a couple years ago at a press conference donald trump gave, a press conference conservatives have been waiting for for 20 years. i will say about the speech the state of the union address, conservatives and patriots have been waiting for for 30 years, she hates what he is doing, who cares, ultimately that is where i come down. heather: that was a huge moment i hope a lot of people are talking about. thank you so much, appreciate it.

>> reporter: we are at pete's restaurants, a big line up. this is what we think about the speech, the voters, what they took from the state of the union on "fox and friends first". heather: in my home state of north carolina. have a great day, we will check back in. a technical glitch in the first primary race in the 2020 election caused a meltdown in iowa with no winner. could this disaster signal the end of caucusing altogether? here is laura think and gop congressional candidate florida o'connell. we appreciate it. let's talk about that as we bring up the results, we have 71% of the precincts reporting, pete buttigieg slightly leading bernie sanders followed by warren and biden, with 15.43%. what is your take on what

happened? >> iowa was a complete unmitigated disaster for the democrats, pretty hard for them to argue they could be put in charge of the country when they can't run their own caucus. it was a big victory for donald trump. he had a turnout incumbent record for a presidency, democrats are engaged in chaos. if i'll wants to maintain first in the nation status it should go to a closed primary system rather than an outdated caucus because it comes down to human error, technological glitches and partisan pranks. heather: should iowa maintain their first in the nation status? it wasn't iowa's fault, it was the dnc and this apps. >> there is not an apps for that but like patrick maholmes they will come through in the fourth quarter we will see iowa settling and i must agree with one sentiments and that is the caucus system is outmoded.

it is rather exclusive. if you don't have time to sit in a high school gymnasium for two hours on a monday night, if you are a single mom, a senior, a working person with a couple of jobs it will be really hard to get there. it also favors candidates with very passionate bases but not as broad of support not to mention there is a not a secret ballot which means if you are in the same gymnasium as your pastor or your boss or your husband and don't want them to know how you are going to vote that is taken away from you. decide to move past the outmoded caucus system and into something like an open system of voting to maximize participation. heather: interesting to watch people caucusing back and forth influence other people to vote for their candidates because that is what this is supposed to be about in america, every day americans ideas, who they think should represent them, who they want to throw their support behind. is what dnc chairman tom perez had to say, what happened last

night should never happen again. it is clear the apps in question did not function adequately. it will not be used in nevada or anywhere else during the primary election process. this technology must provide transparent accounting of what went wrong. he is blaming the apps but at the same time, dhs offered to vet the apps and equipment but they said no thanks. >> the democrats have no one to blame but themselves, the idea that you will go into iowa which is the second most important contest after super tuesday if you're a 2020 presidential hopeful and not try out the software seems a little insane. i will say this. among democrats there is a concern the 2016 was rigged against bernie sanders and you have a field, in nevada with a caucus you might have confusion and chaos again where you have a lot of presidential hopefuls on the democrat side concerned about a tainted process and a

rigged system and that is something democrats have to guard against. >> that is laughable because with an approval rating less than 50% more people disapprove of this president and approve of him and that means the only way he wins his arguments like that, depress turnout by telling -- >> a primary system -- >> one moment please. what i'm talking about is division. you are sewing division and saying things are rigged. the only way trump wins is if democrats lose their unity. heather: we have to go. we were talking about division within the dnc and it was evident there were a lot of questions last year about bernie sanders. did you see the state of the union? did you see nancy pelosi ripping up the state of the union? that is sewing division. thank you for joining us. we will be right back.

heather: bernie sanders skips the state of the union to rally in new hampshire, celebrating a big night in the iowa caucuses despite no clear winner yet. todd pyro was at the rally in new hampshire just days from the first in the nation primary. >> reporter: although he didn't rip up any scripts bernie sanders tried to shred the president in his state of the union rebuttal and he did by focusing on one of the president's signature accomplishments. take a listen. >> donald trump has told the american people that the economy

today is booming like it has never boomed before. now, donald trump, this is not the strongest economy we have ever had. >> reporter: earlier in the night he rallied supporters 30 minutes down the road saying he was confident he would win the granite state and upcoming contest in the polling bears that out, sanders with a commanding lead over joe biden in new hampshire real clear politics paul. speaking of numbers we are still waiting in iowa where the caucus chaos continues, pete buttigieg with a slightly over the vermont senator with 71% reported. what do sanders supporters think of this iowa mess? >> there is definitely something more at play and timing is odd. in the midst of the state of the union i can't help but think something is going on. >> reporting bernie was in the lead and -- i don't know what is going on. >> i have a hunch biden has won.

at midnight last night. >> reporter: others questioning why they do a caucus in iowa in the first place wondering why the technology wasn't that it and test is as much of it should have been and wondering if they could trust the results at all, in new hampshire they are extremely confident bernie is going to be a winner this time next week. heather: we will be there and we will see. save the union shout out to hard-working americans. >> usmc able create 100,000 new high paying american auto jobs and massively boost exports for farmers, ranchers and factory workers. >> donald trump making sure putting food on tables are not forgotten. a dairy farmer says the administration's program of policies are paying dividends

>> one of the biggest promises i made to the american people was to replace the disastrous nafta trade deal. the us mca would boost exports for farmers, ranchers and factory workers. heather: donald trump touting his trade deal at the state of the union address and celebrating in the halls with congresswoman hours stuff on it, new york, david fisher has seen firsthand how the president's policies held rural america, fourth-generation dairy farmer.

thank you for joining us, appreciate it. i know this is your second term as president of the new york farm bureau and you advocated passage of the us mca, something the president talked about last night. how has that benefited you and your family? >> he did talk about it last night and talked about a lot at the american farmer meeting in austin and it will benefit all of agriculture tremendously. we support a lot of products and a lot of people don't think of new york as an ag state but we really are, $6 billion industry, and depend on exports tremendously. the canadian market will be a great opportunity and so will the mexican one. heather: he didn't just talk about us mca, the other trade deals helping farmers in china deal with china by $30 billion of exports, we went through us

mca. we knew markets were american farm products, $28 billion farmer stimulus package as well. think about the other benefits you have been able to see. >> a lot of what went on was a long-term decision and short-term farmers paid the price. we had lower commodity prices but looking forward to the opportunities, the disagreement and all the agreement we will make in the future as we get more markets and a premier producer of us ag products exported all over the world to feed people. heather: looking at video from your farm, it is huge, big farm you are dealing with, you dealt with it. >> we have many family members involved. the size of the farm has grown.

two sons and two brother in laws and we are proud of that and that is the family operation. heather: what was it like to be at the state of the union address as we wrap up? >> a unique experience, we met lots of people but living in northern new york a great reminder when i saw the military family reunited we underestimate the value of what those people do for us and our country and democracy and the things we have here, service men and women and families and the sacrifices they make every day allow us to have what we having the freedoms we have in america, a reminder of the great system we haven't how lucky we are. heather: a lot of sacrifices farming community has done as well as it is nice to have a president working for them now. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it, have a great day

social media flooded with reaction. one twitter user calling the handshake rejection a snub seen around the world. george on twitter sanctity think after trying to impeach him that they were friends? last year the house speaker went viral for emphatically and enthusiastically clapping as the president calls for a end to revenge politics. one year later and you can make the case the end to revenge politics is not happening. >> donald trump and the shake, maybe he didn't see her because he handed her the speech and turned around as she put her hand out. no mistake what she did. >> throughout the speech the facial expressions from nancy pelosi were notable as well but i think the speech was so effective because it does put a face to some of these incredible

stories and american costs we talk about every day. heather: and not standing up. thank you so much. that wraps up this hour of "fox and friends first," thank you for joining us, another big day coming, "fox and friends first" continues right now. goodbye. >> the president of the united states. >> three years ago we launched a great american comeback, created 7 million new jobs. the unemployment rate is the lowest in over half a century. this is a blue-collar boom. the state of our union is stronger than ever before. ru l
