steve: thank you very much, todd and carley, 6:00 in new york city on this thursday, january 18th. and it is currently 21 degrees in new york city. lawrence: from maga surveillance to maga warning. an investigation is underway after the feds ask banks to search and filter its customers transactions with terms like trump and maga. why the ceo of j.p. morgan chase shares this advice for the democrats. i wish the democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about maga. this negative talk about maga is going to hurt biden s election campaign. ainsley: but it seems vice president harris missed that memo. why she says she s scared as heck of former president trump taking back the white house. brian: and, could you ditch your cell phone for a month italics? that s the challenge that could earn you $10,000. think about that for a second while i officially start the show by saying fox & friends is ready to begin because your mornings are better because you
House is treading carefully as civil unrest in china continues over the country s extreme covid-19 restrictions but top u.s. officials have made two chings clear. the administration supports the people s right to peacefully protest and does not agree with the zero covid policy. but the u.s. is choosing words carefully and deliberately. as it tries to find common ground on a host of issues, including tensions over taiwan. joining me now to discuss, mark warner of virginia. he s vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee. senator, thank you for taking the time this morning. well, jim, i hate to correct you right off the front. i m chairman. i just demoted, you apology. i have been for the last two years and for the next two. i m aware. too many soccer on my head. no problem at all. let s talk about sure. this is driving home the point
Where covid originated. almost three years from when interrupted here in the united states and still no accountability. you have to be an idiot if you don t think it came from the wuhan institute. working on coronavirus research. that is why doctor fauci is so shifty on the issue. let s not pretend that we are that much better from china on this issue. you had nearly half of democrats wanting to put someone like me for not putting the vaccine in a government camp. questioning the vaccine. i could not go out and dinner for a period of time. you have joe biden purging military heroes for not wanting to get a vaccine that the surgeon general said increases cardiac deaths i 84%. let s not pretend that the united states is that much better than china on this issue.
it was buford i will end it here. used to be such pivotal swing states. they are read. georgia and arizona are the purple states. funny how that works. next, china s extreme covid lockdowns. drawing mobile backlash. here in the u.s., doctor fauci may be retiring from government, but not before he threatens that the pandemic make it stop.
What covid really underscored is you think just because we are in america we are republic somehow we are immune to tyranny. we are not. we saw it. we saw that canada, australia, all these countries that are supposed to be free are not. a majority of deaths from coronavirus in this country, those that are vaccinated more than unvaccinated. what we were promised and what we are seeing now are two very different things. i am sorry to cut you off. we have to fight for freedom. freedom is just one generation from extinction. i think that that is what we saw during covid. what these people would do. thank god we have a constitution. thank god we have checks and balances. it was here and it is still here. you were not even allowed to ask questions about it. i did. i don t think people liked it.
