militias who have been attacking u.s. troops nut middle east. and no surprise the candidates on stage not impressed. >> you harm a hair on the head of an american service member and you are going to have hell to pay. we are not just going to sit there and let our service members be sitting ducks. >> peter: there was some talk about campus protests as well with tim scott threatening to deport some demonstrators. >> to every student who have come to our country on a vista, to a college campus, your visa is a privilege, not a right. any campus that allows for anti-semitism and hate to allow students to encourage terrorism, mass murder, and genocide, you should lose your federal funding today. >> pete: chris christie's

argument on the other side of the stage says is he the only one that's done anything violence towards jews or muslims in the u.s. >> i was appointed by president bush to be the u.s. attorney in new jersey on september 10th, 2001. it takes leadership, lester, to know how to do this. you must work with both sides. both sides need to know it but let us never have a false moral equivalence between hamas and hezbollah and the jewish people. the jewish people stand for right and justice and hamas and hezbollah stabbed for death. >> peter: and then there was vivek ramaswamy calling out ron desantis for those internet conspiracies that he is high heels under his boots and nikki haley just for having a young daughter. >> do you want a leader in a different generation going to put this country first or do you want dick cheney in three inch heels. >> all right, mr. rams. >> we have two of them on stage tonight. >> i wear heels they are not for fashion statement they're for ammunition. >> she made fun of me for

[laughter] >> peter: your kid has tiktok. >> ainsley: wait, are you running for president now? >> steve: not yet. not yet. peter, has the white house responded at all to the festivities last night in miami? >> peter: they were more focused on the trump rally last night. and so it seems like they were treating the debate with the other candidates basically the race for second place as more of

an after thought. they're really starting to hone in on former president trump and the things that essaying. >> brian: one thing is electric it looks like jill biden's x aide went public on x last night basically blowing up the biden re-election campaign saying basically they haven't done anything. >> steve: just badly. >> brian: larosa. shameful allowed this narrative to congeal over the last two years. the only people help change the people around the president is jill. it's up to her. they are the same people who got him fourth in iowa, fifth in new hampshire, and second in nevada. so, could there be a civil war inside the white house? a message on the outside for people on the inside. what happens going on? >> peter: well, i have known mike larosa for years. is he somebody who is on the inside here, is he well-liked. i mean, they definitely don't probably like what he is saying right now, but, they are in a pickle because, essentially, what mike is complaining about

is that there are folks with the re-election campaign, who are playing, essentially a defense. the same strategy as last time. less of biden, let people focus more on trump, and just hope for the best at the end. the age aspect of this president is something they cannot avoid, and there are just two dramatically different approaches. either try to conceal that he is about to be 81 at the end of this month, or just put him out there and hope for the best. >> brian: let jill save him. let jill lead. team talking about bidenomics. is he talking about bidenomics again today. nobody cares, no one is buying it. >> steve: peter, after the election on tuesday, i was reading in axios this morning. apparently second gentleman doug emhoff said last month at an event that their path to victory, biden-harris is dobbs,

which is the abortion issue, and democracy. that's their game plan. that's the whole thing. >> peter: if you remember last time it was all about covid. they don't have covid anymore. they have.com up with something else. and, you notice, they are not really leaning in when it comes -- push comes to shove on the economy. they want to talk about abortion. that is something that is getting people out. they see election after election after election, and so former president trump is going to have to come up with a -- something kind of like what we heard nikki haley saying last night. something that can pass. >> brian: gotcha. thanks, peter. steve stay off tiktok. >> lawrence: the president losing right now in arizona. you got him losing in georgia. is he losing in michigan. is he losing in nevada, and he is losing in pennsylvania. he won all of these states the last go around. the only state that he still is maintaining that is a swing state is wisconsin. >> brian: other thing to keep in mind is their strategy is

destroy trump. make him the worst person on the planet. i couldn't believe how quick they got to that yesterday on "the view" hillary clinton called him a nazi, calling him hitler, really? so hitler is running for re-election. so their goal, my guy is terrible, but we're going to make your guy unelectable who will destroy the country. i just think people should be aware of that make your own decision. but if someone is going to call somebody else hitler, that's how desperate it is. she doesn't do anything un -- without a reason behind it. >> ainsley: hamas didn't attack israel when he was president. afghanistan did not have the withdrawal when he was president. and russia did not invade ukraine when he was president. he was saying that last night at his rally. back to the abortion issue that republicans are going to have to figure out. nikki haley said i'm pro-life. she said but we don't need to judge beam who are pro-choice. she said i had a roommate in college who was raped. and she was worried that she was pregnant. and i didn't judge her, based on whatever decision she was going

to make. >> steve: right. what she has said in the past is she is not behind a national abortion ban. obviously that's not what the supreme court said. they said every state has got to decide it. and last night she said essentially she is for something that would pass. she was asked whether or not she would be behind a 15-week ban. she said i'm behind something that will pass. interestingly enough, if you just are getting up, we had lee carter on a little while ago. about 20 minutes ago. she said, according to the people who watched the event last night over on nbc, the dialers picked nikki haley as the big winner of the event. >> lawrence: the problem that these republican candidates are facing right now is that none of them can really get oxygen. i mean, you got donald trump that is. >> steve: so far ahead. >> lawrence: taking everything out of the room right now. i think ron desantis actually had his best debate performance lawrence. >> ainsley: i thought he did well, too. >> different mommy's he seemed a

lot more likeable as he was addressing the policy strong on the issues. but is it enough to get him to win iowa. everyone is talking about kim reynolds endorsement. right now donald trump is still up by 30 points in that state. >> brian: here's the thing, when he is not doing something he is in court. when he is in court everything stops and you look at donald trump. this civil case. terrible for his business, absolutely. >> ainsley: not criminal. >> brian: nobody thinks that he is being treated fairly. nobody. i flip around to the biggest -- they are having trouble with this. because this is a total political hit job on his stuff for inflating things that banks have no problem with. >> lawrence: i'm so sorry, ainsley. >> ainsley: go ahead. >> lawrence: to your point, brian, you are talking about the litigation that's happening. i think these republican candidates that are on the stage are waiting for that big moment with the court case that takes him out of the race. meanwhile, republican voters are saying this is unjust. so, i don't think they are reading the room quite right right now. >> ainsley: several things when i was watching last night you think does this really even

matter? approval rating is higher than all of those five people combined. is he going -- he is the frontrunner, no doubt. desantis and haley i thought had winning nights last night for different reasons. she was more defensive. >> she had to be. she defended her daughter. she defended wearing the high heels. and vivek was making fun of the 3-inch high heels she said actually they are 5 inches and i use them to run and i use them as ammunition like i can handle more than just 3 inches. >> brian: don't you think it's just so purge? >> ainsley: it is personal. and he was going after desantis, too. all over social media that he wears the cowboy boots so he looks taller. that was a hit on both of them. no one really cares about that they want to hear the issues. i thought ron desantis did great because he was very measured. >> steve: that's what people want to hear. that's ultimately what goes on with debates. that's why we have dispatched rachel campos-duffy to a diner down in miami to talk to the folks where rachel, do the people think that it was just really personal last night?

>> i heard that from several of them. by the way, i'm a 4-inch heel person. so i just wanted to set the record straight on that one. when you are really short, you need that extra inch there. listen, this is very interesting crowd here. the hispanic vote is really turning out to be super competitive. when you put trump and biden together, it's almost 50-50. we have never seen that before in a presidential race. so, a very competitive vote. i have been talking to everyone here. let's gets -- i will give you a feel for where they are at. give me a show of hands if you are for donald trump. i mean, look at that it's almost everybody. how many here were at the rally last night? quite a few were at the rally as well. jose, you were at the debate. >> no. >> rachel: you were at the rally. >> i was watching the debate. >> rachel: tell me what you thought about it.

>> i think haley was strong with the abortion topic. and then ron, i liked how he talked about china and how he handles the china stuff. >> rachel: but you are still a trump guy. >> i'm more inclined to haley. >> rachel: you are inclined toward haley. >> between biden and trump i would voted trump 100 percent. >> rachel: all right. we are here with madeline. she is supporting trump? >> yeah i'm a trumper. >> rachel: what did you think of the debate last night? >> i didn't watch it. i didn't watch it. but i have seen them very much. i think that vivek is my second choice. i think he is young. he is vibrant. and i like everything he says. he does what he -- all his actions are, i think that we need in this country the change that he wants. >> rachel: what's the number one issue for you? >> the border. the border scares me. there are so many millions of people here that we don't know who they are. and with all this -- with israel, the problem in israel,

palestine, i really think we have to be very careful what happens here. >> rachel: and you became a citizen, what, when you were like 5. >> 5 when i came from cuba. >> rachel: this is important to you. >> yes. i love the united states. i love this country, i'm very thankful for being here. we need to make sure that we keep it the way it was. very american and make america great again for sure. >> rachel: all right. well that gives you a flavor of where people are at here in la carreta, in miami. >> ainsley: thank you so much. >> steve: are you standing on 4-inch heels right now? >> rachel: i am. i'm going to show you. [laughter] >> rachel: 4 inches. >> steve: oh my goodness. look at that. good traction. >> ainsley: thanks, rachel. >> ainsley: 4 inches are great i have 5 inches one pair i have to walk and then put flats on. >> lawrence: only come in two sizes? >> ainsley: no can you have

kitten heels. >> carley: i'm a 4 or 5 person. >> ainsley: can you walk in 5. >> carley: do you a lot of standing and sitting in this job. >> lawrence: you are already tall, carley. >> carley: thank you for confirming. >> steve: all the guys are at sea level. >> brian: carley, breaking news? i will check with you later. to a fox news alert now. the u.s. military carried out airstrikes at syrian weapons storage facility. the pentagon says iran used those facilities to stage attacks against american bases in the middle east. >> ainsley: u.s. bases in iraq and syria coming under fire at least 42 times since the start of the war in israel. >> lawrence: idf carrying out major raids on the banks. trey yingst is in israel. >> trey: good morning. i do want to start with that breaking news. we understand right now israeli forces are operating in the west bank city of jeanine. the palestinians say at least 8 palestinians have been killed so far. and there are reports of an

>> hi, thanks for joining us. what did you think of -- first we will start with donald trump. what did you think of his rally last night and what he said? he is not wrong israel was not hit during his time in office. >> absolutely. the country is looking for that right now. they are looking for that strength. they are looking for someone who is coming out with no minuted words with a direct policy right now people feel very uncomfortable. that's a winning message for him and he should stick with it. >> ainsley: what do you say. >> i didn't watch him. i watched the debate last night. people are scared right now. they want a straight shooter. i think a lot of people who did watch the debates thought this is try outs for his v.p. >> ainsley: did you want him on the debate stage or did you think he is smart not to do it. >> you know, i think they are

grateful he wasn't on the debate stage because i think he would have sucked the air out of the room. he takes over wherever he goes. >> ainsley: that's true. >> that was an opportunity for them to share their thoughts. >> ainsley: all five of them plus donald trump all six of the republican candidates are better than what we have on the democratic side but the abortion issue on the democratic side, we just saw on tuesday, that's a big issue. that was a losing argument for the republicans. tudor, you dealt with this when you were running for governor in michigan. you said i believe you said no exceptions, right? is that what you said? life of the mother. do you regret that? >> you know, i just think that we are learning as a party that that's not where the people are. although we're learning that as a party but we are not changing our stance. i mean, you are talking about something that is a very delicate issue. it's difficult when something has been legal to suddenly say we are going to put a ban on it. people in america do not like bans. and the republican party has not figured out how to talk about that yet. nikki haley did a great job last

night. she is just speaking in reality. hey, everybody, this is how i feel about it. but we are not going to get 60 senators to come in and suddenly ban abortion. that's not going to happen. and that's something that the republican party needs to get behind, no matter how you feel about it, you have to understand that this is the reality of the situation. we have to talk in reality. >> ainsley: karith, let's listen to what nikki haley said last night about the abortion issue and get your response. >> i don't judge anyone for being pro-choice and i don't want them to judge me for being pro-life. let's find consensus. let's agree on how we can ban late term abortions. let's make sure we encourage adoptions and good quality adoptions. let's make sure we make contraception accessible. >> bret: 's not put women in jail for getting an abortion. figure out how to save as many babies and we can and support as many moms as we can and stop the judgment. >> ainsley: she talked about her college roommate how she had

>> well, this is orchestrated by adults. and i think it's part of the problem of american education. we're a little confused. our goal as educators is not to teach the kids what to think. it's to teach kids how to think. >> steve: right. >> i don't believe this is just organically driven, i think adults are pulling the strings behind the scenes. >> steve: right. here's the thing. if they are going to have a walkout and talking about a cease-fire, clearly that is taking one side. you know, where is the israeli side? >> yeah. there are many sides to any debate, and the job of the school is to education kids on differing perspectives. >> steve: sure. and to kind of work that out intellectually how does someone take one side versus the other. it is not to indoctrinate students be. >> steve: indeed. it is the job of a parent to teach your children how to think.

and you have got this great new book out "a-plus parenting." what's the secret. >> i believe the secret is two-fold. parents need to enjoy parenting. it can be stressful and parents can angst about it. i also think parents need to not think that the school is going to do everything. they have a role in raising intellectually vibrant children. and this is a very practical how-to book. it's not a fill softening call treatise. it is a list of world while things can you do with your children that will help them. >> steve: all right i'm going to put you on the spot. give me two. >> i'm a big believer in the game of chess. i'm a big believer in the game of back gammon. will first graders are learn through back gammon. >> steve: i looked back gammon in college that's another story. what's the number one thing parents do wrong? >> i think if there is too much screen time. they need a little break. they want to have a glass of wine. they put the tv on.

>> steve: you are talking about the parents not the kids. >> the parents having a glass of wine. they don't monitor the screen time. average teenagers are on that thing six hours a day. tiktok, instagram. it's not good for their brains. we need kids to read books. >> steve: you know it's so easy for a parent just to say okay, go watch a movie. >> well, good movies, i'm in favor of. you should watch casa blanca, humphrey bogart is fantastic. i think mindless youtube over and over again is actually not good for kids steve what about cat videos? >> a few. i'm not against anything in moderation. i'm against four to six hours a day. >> steve: no kidding. it's way too much. check out a great new book. it's available everywhere. it's called "a-plus parenting." eva, thanks for joining us live. >> thanks for having me. >> steve: last two weeks 42 attacks on military bases have

happened. governor ron desantis says troops are being left tout dry by joe biden. >> you harm a hair on the head of an american service member, and you are going to have hell to pay. we are not just going to sit there and let our service members be sitting ducks. >> steve: that was last night. there he is live, is he next on "fox & friends." good morning, governor. ♪

♪ >> brian: fox news alert now strike a weapons factory. hours after the iranian-backed militants launched their 4 42nd u.s. base attack since october 17th. look at all those hits on that map. our next guest says american troops are sitting ducks overseas while biden is in office and vows not make the same mistake. fresh off the g.o.p. debate hours ago florida governor ron desantis joins us now. governor, i don't know if you have a monitor there, but 40-plus attacks since the 17th of october, you have been in iraq. i'm not sure you have been into syria. 900 guys there. 2500 in iraq. and you can't hit back? no one is watching your back? i mean, what is that like? >> well, yeah, right, i mean,

look, i did see the map. and you have places like al-asad air base and some of these other places that, you know, we were involved in. and, for sure, to see that, so, here, when we have american troops in harm's way, we do not let hostile enemies take pot shots at us without an appropriate response. and joe biden is basically allowing the iranians a tack our troops. his responses are underwhelming so it's just inviting more attacks. so, just from a normal perspective now i would also say this. what is their mission there? biden hasn't really articulated what their mission there is. presumably some type of counter-terrorism mission. i would note that we have terrorists coming in across our southern border. is he not doing anything about, to stop that. and we know, unfortunately, that that's the truth. so, i think we get into trouble if we're putting our troops in places where we don't have a clear mission or clear objective. iraq's government at this point, yes, there is a sunni she a

conflict, but it's like, okay, their she a government is aligned with iran, they are hostile to the united states, and we have our troops in there to potentially prop that government up? so it's really an odd situation. but clearly i think he is inviting more attacks on our troops. >> brian: he says i don't want to start world war iii so he is being measured. it seems as though when you hit an empty weapons depot, it almost looks like weakness. yesterday, president trump went after you while you were working on the debate stage. weighs working on the stump. he is going after you on this. >> and unlike ron desanctimonious, i will always protect social security and medicare. he did not protect it. he wanted to do bad things to it for our great senior citizens. everyone says oh, he did so well. he did well because i endorsed him. >> brian: so we do have to attack entitlements, you guys did talk about that on the stage

last night. what is the truth about your stance on social security? >> well, basically, trump is attacking me for positions that he has always held. for example, in 2012, against obama, romney, ryan, you know, i supported them. so did trump. he said that their proposals were solid. so, a lot of that is just opportunistic. but the idea that he is responsible for florida's success is absurd. and when he says he endorses, and somehow that means -- if his endorsement was so important. why have republicans been losing so many of these races where he has endorsed? we have fewer governors than when he got elected president. fewer u.s. senators, fewer u.s. house members. and here in florida, a lot of what we did to really put the state and separate our straight many other states during covid, we were done where people in his administration were attacking me. tony fauci attacking me for having kids in schools and restaurants and gyms and all that open. that really helped the state take off. i'm not sure what he saying

about any of that look, he had a chance to show up. and he had a chance to make his case. he is choosing not to do it. i do think in these early states, these voters are starting to key in. and i do think it's going to hurt him. i think you saw some of these focus groups that said he should show up to debate. we have got americans being held hostage right now by hamas. i mean, the stakes are high. you have responsibility to earn this nomination. and, also, defend your record. i mean, is he running on -- i saw the rally, a little bit of it. and it reminded me it's like deja vu all over again. you go back to 2016, is he saying a lot of the same things and promising a lot of the same things he didn't deliver on. border wall built with mexico, paying for it. didn't happen. drain the swamp didn't happen. reducing the debt didn't happen. we added more. why not get on that stage and explain and then articulate how you are going to do the better job the next time. i think it is going to hurt him if he doesn't show up. i'm going to show up. i'm going to be at the debates. i'm going to be on the ground in the early states and we are

going to earn it. >> brian: right now three debates presidential debates. only five people on the stage. you all had just about the same amount of time. how did you feel out there compared to the other times and how did you feel about the personal attacks and vivek who is coming on next hour when he brought up nikki haley's daughter? >> i think the kid are out of bounds. not an appropriate thing to. do not sgt. i do. i have 6, 5, and 3-year-old. they're out of bounds. this is not something they have asked to be involved. in i keep the kids out of it, for sure. two things, brian. one, i intok directly to the american people about the issues facing the country. i wasn't worried about debating the moderators really wasn't even worried about debating the other candidates as much as articulating my vision directly about how i will fight for people. how we will win these big fights and lead the country to an american revival. other thing is, i have a record of actually doing things. even on the hamas-israel, i was able to say biden abandoned

americans. he wasn't helping evacuate in the aftermath of the attack by hamas. so i sent planes. and rerescued 700-plus americans. mostly floridians, a lot of children. some of them may have ended up becoming hostage. we are talking about the threat of the chinese communist party. i banned china from buying land in the state of florida. we kicked them out of our universities with these things like these confucius institutes, which do the ideology. >> brian: gotcha. >> it's not just rhetoric with me. i have backed it up with actions. ultimately, it's not just your words, it's your deeds. so people can trust me that everything i'm saying, i'm going to follow through on. because that's exactly what i have done as governor. steve. >> brian: we will see how many people on the stage next time because the criteria is going up, up, up. governor desantis thanks so much. best of luck along the way. i know you are digging in iowa. appreciate it? >> thanks. >> brian: check in with rachel campos-duffy, she is talking with diners in miami. hey, rachel. >> rachel: hey, guys, i'm going to pour the last bit of coffee

here -- whoops, i spilled that listen, everyone is fully caffeinated and full of opinions here in miami at la carreta restaurant. we're going to start here with george. george, you watched the debate last night. what did you think? >> yeah. look, i saw the debate last night, i think, honestly, it's an audition for v.p. i think donald trump is clearly going to be the nominee, and i think that the debate is really just to see who is going to be his running mate. >> rachel: who would that running mate be in your opinion. >> i'm from florida, right? i think governor desantis did a fantastic job, especially during covid. i think he has been probably the best governor in the entire united states. >> rachel: why hasn't he caught on for you, for example. >> i just i don't think it's his time. i think in politics there is a timing for everything. it's still trump's moment. i very easily think that the next president could be desantis. >> rachel: that's so interesting. that's ax i don't mean in politics. you don't get to pick the time the time picks you. i'm here with george. is he a long-time republican. tell me what you think about the debate. >> it was an excellent debate.

it was very thought-provoking and i particularly like vivek. he is outside the box. he thinks outside the box. and that's what we need. >> rachel: some people said that he was a little bit aggressive. you like that, though. >> absolutely. if you are not aggressive, you are going to have a million, 2 million people come over the border. if they can't even take care of the western hemisphere because they fear castro and ortega. yet, they are going to go to the other side of the world. they can't figure out what going on down here. >> rachel: that's one of the interesting things about speaking to hispanics here is that they understand exactly what is at stake here. and that is communism, marxism. they can see it happening. this is the road we're on. that's what i'm hearing a lot this morning at la carreta. back to you, carley. >> carley: all right, rachel. thank you so much. got some news to get to, starting with this. houston police are searching for violent felon wanted for murdering a young mother in front of her 3-year-old son. investigators say dominique opened fire while the mother was
