o'clock in los angeles. this is fox news at night. breaking news tonight brand new information about conservatives targeted by the federal government. it's disturbing. federal investigators are accused of asking banks to flag transactions including terms like maga and trump as part of a probe into the january 6th attack on the capitol. kevin cork is live with incriminating details. >> and disturbing. in addition to federal investigators to ask banks to search for maga and trump as part of the investigation into january 6th, they warned that purchases of religious texts could indicate extremish. a letter obtained by fox news digital they located documents

that indicate officials suggested that bank query transactions with key words like dick's sporting goods, and bass pro-shops and more. the house judiciary committee conducted oversight on this receipt of information about american citizens without legal process and its engagement at the private sector. >> this is surveillance at its worst. we will do depositions and get documents to find out how extensive this was. big government and big corporations working together to financially spy on american citizens. >> again, this is all under the guise of investigating the protests on january 6th at the

capitol which is why gop lawmakers like jim jordan and others say their work has only just begun. >> trace: kevin, thank you. let's bring in nobody better to talk about it than former chairman jason chaffetz. i want to read this again. federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions using terms like maga and trump as part of an investigation into january 6th, warning that purchases of religious texts could indicate extremism. this assault on democracy is amazing. what is your thought? >> this is not the america we want to live. in you are not supposed to be targeted because you go to bass pro-shops. you are targeted as an extremist because you buy worms there? you go buy binoculars?

this is not the first time i worry that the federal government as done this. they are using it as an excuse. shame on the banks. a key bank was highlighted. why are they giving this to the government and not informing the person targeted? >> trace: and bank of america was noticeed in in thing. you wonder as you look as these documents that why people are gravitating to former president trump. they believe he is targeted and he said you are next. they believe that and now there is evidence it back it up. >> there is all sorts of fisa abuse. an american is not supposed to be targeted. put out this dragnet on terms like maga and trump who was the sitting president of the united states when this occurred.

that's supposed to say you are -- that is so wrong. as they dive deeper, jim jordan is on the target. they have probably done this further and wider than just this incident. >> trace: they also mentioned dick's sporting goods. imagine singling out different businesses. how dare you buy this sy item? final thoughts? >> you have to be careful with your credit card company and community bank. you buy a volleyball ball at dick's sporting goods you are targeted by the feds.. that's a scary thing in this country. >> trace: former president trump sat down is season hannity

today. brian is live in new hampshire. >> former president trump is blasting new hampshire's primary system for allowi ing voters to vote in the republican primary. he claims that allows liberal voters to sway the election to benefit his rival former governor nikki haley. >> it bothers me. the governor should have done something about it. nikki haley won't make it. democrats are allowed to vote. they will vote for her because they don't want to run against me. they want to run against her. >> there are more independent voters in new hampshire than registered republicans or democrats. haley's success propelled in new

hampshire. this poll shows trump ahead by 50%. nearly 4,000 democrats switched their party registration to undeclared last fall. he said that is slightly higher than normal but hasn't seen anything unusual in terms of democrats trying to manipulate the republican primary. >> it is designed this way so those types of games can't change the outcome of an election. >> with florida governor ron desantis shifting his campaign's focus to south carolina, haley sharpened her attack against her chief rival in the granite state: trump. >> americans don't want to see a president, joe biden or donald trump, that are dealing more with investigations than they

are on whether they are preventing us from going to war. >> haley argues her success with independent voters makes her a greater threat to president biden. >> trace: thank you. the president hit the road or campaign trail to north carolina today to promote bidenomics. a message some democrats say is not working. >> president biden traveled to the tar heels state to promote bidenomics. he touted his administration's economic success. he took a swipe at donald trump. >> my predecessor liked to say america is a failing nation. he wants to city the stock market crash now. >> democrats urged the campaign to drop the term bidenomics in

the face of polling on biden's handling of the economy which is fodder to critics. 78% of voters said the economy is this bad shape. that's 9 points worse than when biden took office. republicans are quick to point out that they think the biden campaign messaging is tone deaf. >> working families still see right through him. they are spending more than $11,000 than they were when the president took office. >> north carolina stop follows a visit to pennsylvania where the president was shocked that a smoothie cost $6. karine-jean pierre tried to clean that up. >> he was joking around with the press corps. you know that. he offered to buy coffee. that's what he did and pastries.

the most important thing about that trip is that he was able to visit a small business. >> trace, some democrats advice the president to stay away from bidenomics. others pointed out that going after maga republicans is also not a winning strategy. we will see what they try next. >> trace: let's bring in a political report daniel and a polls director scarlet. $6 for a smoothie. it's $12 across the street. $6 is a bargain and a half. the telegram says this scarlet. average food prices in u.s. cities have risen by 20% since biden took office and gas is higher and bidenomics is a vote loser. in a survey last year a participant described it as

a jumbled mess but they are sticking with this. what do you think? >> absolutely, the white house is trying to sell biden's economic competence and voters are not buying it. people are feeling inflation in their pockets. >> trace: true. and fortune magazine said unemployment may be low but if you can only find work at irregular hours for low pay, things are not fine. joe biden talking about this. surprised by the $6 smoothie. you have to grasp how many things cost now, daniel? >> he was not like george w. bush where he didn't know what a gross or score scanner was. give him some credit on that. not a good look when americans are hurting. we have talked to economists who

say it takes a year to feel those falling prices. it's going to take a while for people to connect the economic numbers that are good and the rising stock market with the still high paid bills they have. >> trace: while connecting those prices, let's move to the new hampshire primaries. the boston globe poll says trump. and the rest are way behind. there seems like a big gap between the top position and the number 2 position. >> absolutely. for haley unfortunately this is as good as it gets. a big difference here. here lead is generated by her performance with independents and democrats. haley has become the democrat's candidate in a republican race.

maybe she has an outside chance ever winning new hampshire but goes to north carolina and california and virginia and tennessee and texas and things get worse for her. >> trace: and things worse on the democratic side and the republican side which brings us to joe lieberman the chairman of no labels who said this. >> i don't think i have ever seen the country so down on the two parties and the two probable candidates. it would be the obvious thing if we offer a bipartisan unity ticket. that would shake-up washington. >> trace: would it shake-up washington or just fade away? >> well, if you look at the actual polls, a lot of people like to think of themselves as independents but most people are on one side or the other. only 10% are true independents. the people most likely to vote for a no labels ticket and most

are not that interested in politics. that would be a huge impedment for them to have a winning ticket. >> trace: you're absolutely right. thank you both. another important sign of how bad things are in america's crime crisis, some the nation's biggest retailers are locking up underwear and socks. christina has the latest. >> imagine calling a store clerk over to get underwear. target and wal-mart stores in the bay area keep some merchandise behind locked doors and not high-priced jewelry. they are keeping underwear and socks behind locked glass doors. customers have to press a button

to the locked doors to let a store clerk know they want to purchase one of these items. >> it makes we to not want to come into a store. >> it's sad this is what it's come to. >> a natural retail survey assessed the measurement of losses by a retailer during a specific time period. taken as a percentage for the year 2022 it accounted for more than 100 billion dollars in losses. retail crime continues to escalate nationwide. the survey found 2 of the top 5 areas affected by organized crime are right here in california: los angeles and the san francisco/oakland area. more than two-thirds of people who responded to the survey reported an increase in repeat

offenders in areas that eliminated cash bail. >> trace: let's bring in a democratic candidate for senator in california. fox business said that in an effort to reduce the loss of more merchandise they locked up underwear and socks. do you want the tidy whities? >> what size are you? it gets awkward fast. >> trace: i don't want to ask for the underwear people to come out. >> it's like a bad ground dog movie. i went to buy batteries yesterday and they were locked up too. this is costing california billion dollars.

now we have a deficit in this state. we have to cut critical services to the people of california and cutting $5 billion of education. it's chaos. >> trace: that's a good point. the san francisco standard wrote the following: liberty mutual insurance will stop offering business owner policies in california this fall. current policies won't be reviewed from december am it's amazing where you are running a business and you can't get insurance? because you are getting ripped off. you are filing claims. you can't get insurance. >> insurance costs are through the roof. they understand and measure the risks and they say nobody is doing anything about this. we are locking up underpants. we are moving out of the state. it's a shame. our business got broken into a couple of weeks ago. the authorities said there is nothing we can do.

the guys will be right back out on the streets. >> trace: a woman filed four complaints in fresno. because of that she could not get her insurance reviewed. you are caught between a rock and a hard spot. when you file a claim, you can't get new insurance. you just lose the money which is sad. a journalistic. she is talking about san francisco and said this. watch. >> there is nothing that can be done to open up the shop. it's been closed for months and other shops to follow down that it road with a single visit. it won't happen. we are seeing blithe in an area that should be the most bustling, busy corridor. it's a travesty. >> trace: we can put pictures up of what she is talking about. she took the pictures and posted them. i am not sure if we have these.

here you go. as you go through san francisco, we were up there a couple of month ago for the big summit with president xi. it was cleaned up. a few days later back to what it is right now. there has to be a remedy. this is valuable property going unused. >> absolutely. this prompted me to run for the u.s. senate in the first place. seeing this in my state. san francisco one of the most beautiful in the country coming to this. we need to do a couple of things especially with organized crime so you don't see repeat offenders. businesses are fleeing our state. and prop 47 needs to be repealed or amended. makes it a misdemeanor and it allows this dysfunction to continue. >> trace: a restaurant owner opened in san francisco.

he said if you took me back before i signed the lease i would have opened somewhere else. before covid there was no way in hell you could find an available space on that street. now another restaurant shuts down every week. this is your territory. you know this. it's true. he is not just making this up. we see them going out of business. >> it's crazy the speed with which this happened. only a couple of years. every business needs to up and leave. we have to face the reality we have to hit rock bottom before the experiment is accepted as a failure. then they can come back and rebuild. we are locking underpants up. >> trace: what is your advise these people to do? >> speak out. talk about the fact they are going to leave and move out of the city or state. the thing is even if it's just one chef, food unites people.

american gravy. >> trace: you are right. they see their favorite restaurants close and it makes them think i don't want to be here. still to come on fox news at night, what do dictaries have to do with pornography and book bans? did you know that video gamers are making tens of million dollars. with the explosion of e-sports, the video game world is very lucrative and some say teach gameing in school and college. we will read the best responses in the night cap. a trip across america. a live look at the city we just talked about. san francisco. the stores are boarded up but

>> ♪>> trace: you want to it talk about a political overreaction. a school district in florida wants to it expand the state's book ban to include dictionaries and the book of world records. kevin cork is back. >> this county sits on the panhandle in the northwestern part of the state of florida and

shares the border with alabama. the school district is looking to not ban but closely examine a variety of books including dictionaries. doing this to make sure they don't contain material that is sexual in nature that violates state lou. -- law. it's the broad variety of books. 1600 titles in all not banned but up for review including 5 dictionaries and the guinness book of world records and biographies and: even our own pal bill o'riley.

some books might violent the new law banning materials with sexual contact of being in school. a rule the subject of pending litigation. >> trace: ask and o'riley is not happy and made that clear. thank you. the fox news at night common sense department went back and read the new florida state law that requires school staff to make sure that books do not contain pornography and are appropriate for grade level. the law makes it clear books about young boys performing sexual act at summer camp or graphic pictures are not appropriate for young children. but a count any northern florida pulled nearly 2000 books off the school shelves with 5

dictionaries, and the guinness book of world records. it may be the most dramatic irrationalal overreaction of state law every. instead of reading the law, they read into the law. the leftist narrative that supports their purpose. the law bans every book with any mention of sex. then it allows them to say because maga governor ron desantis doesn't want your kids to read. it's a lie. but common sense thinks a phoney narrative is easy to sell when the vast majority of people won't do their own home work and bring the law. the out reach director and the co-author of stolen youth. this county is basically saying,

see, i told you that governor ron desantis doesn't want your kids to read. it's laughable. >> a lot of school districts in florida are pulling this trickery. they are pulling all of these books off the shelves for review. they want governor desantis to look bad. they are ones pulling books off the shelves because they are reading into deeply into the law. it's a political ploy to make the governor look bad. the reality is they are the ones who are the book banners. >> trace: that's right. to put an exclamation point on this, jill, the bible book and the american heritage children's dictionaries were pulled. really? they went there. >> they went there because we are at a point where it's that absurd and over the top. this is something we talk about

all the time. there was a recent article in the free press online. it talked the gentleman did a research looking into library catalogs of over 4,000 schools. there were no book bans. most of the books were in all of these school district libraries that claimed these books have been banned. they have not been banned. what is missing is a wide perspective books for children. we are trying to get good books into schools and stop this nonsense. >> trace: the associated press said they encouraged teachers to discuss a conflict in its class

rooms. that won't be a 2 sided discussion. >> heroic decision based -- i am not sure what. hopefully 100% of the children in that school district can read ask write on grade level. something tells me they can't. >> trace: a jewish parent being diplomatic about the decision in that michigan school district. >> you believe they feel they are meeting the moment and doing something urgent. i respect that passion but it's misguided and the result has been a lot of jewish families feeling alienated and marginalized and unseen. >> trace: she is right. she said it makes jewish families feel unseen.

>> why doesn't the school district make a resolution proclaiming all students are americans together as one no matter what our differences and that we are americans first. >> trace: that would be a good concept. here we go. "washington post" wrote in 2020, quoting here the paper recommended throwing the kitchen sink it's covid through a combination of lockdowns and mask wearing. the "washington post" acknowledged the damage caused by the covid lockdown and urged the government to consider the risk when taking such extreme measures in the next pandemic. they pushed for lockdowns. now they are saying the government needs to be careful. >> funny story. i trended on twitter in may of
