the latest read on the service sector came to us. lauren: really strong, contracted in december, 49 and change, goes up even more than expected, 55. 2. prices paid, inflationary, that came in at 66.8. a slight uptick from december, december was the lowest since january of 2021. the service sector growth in january, all the jobs we saw in the month of january, this report confirms that. stuart: that is a strong jobs report. a service sector report. the market is reacting a little bit. still down one hundred 70 on the dow, 130 on the nasdaq. lots of red ink. il

ilhanomar is off of the committee because she made anti-semitic statements. the left doesn't see it that way. the new york times, which is the democrats bible, sees her as an act of political revenge. nancy pelosi kicked people off of committees, according to the times it is just politics. to alexandria ocasio cortez, it is racism directed at women of color. >> there's nothing consistent with the republican party's continued attacks except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body. this is about targeting women of color in the united states of america, don't tell me because i didn't get a single -- >> time is expired. stuart: plenty of passion. fellow squad member rashida tlaib went further. >> the gop is doing what is

best at, weapon icing hate against a black, beautiful, muslim woman. i will not be silenced. >> the gentlewoman's time is expired. the gentlewoman's time is expired. >> through this chamber -- >> the gentlewoman is no longer recognized. stuart: that is it. political revenge and racism, that is not it. anti-semitism is at the heart of this. ill on omar -- ilhan omar says they are about -- they are aligned with israel and therefore disloyal. she accuses israel of, quote, have notarizing the world to cover up its evil doings. she supports the boycott investment in sanctions movement designed to cripple israel. i'm surprised the democrat party keeps her in the party. she can serve on any other

committee but not foreign affairs. speaker mccarthy was dead right. second hour of varney just getting started. the fired up tammy bruce, give her a chance. >> transcending. every now and then i pound on this desk. a lot of arguments in the past, that we should stop the politics because we get emotional, we move into this arena where we become hysterical and that was called misogynist. what happened when all of this was happening? that was an embarrassment. confirming stereotypes of why women should not a in power. you can be upset about things and articulate that and have opposition and debate but they made fools of themselves and

shame on them. part of the reason she was removed from the foreign relations committee is there arguments once again condemned this country and americans and their colleagues and called everybody a racist. the world watches this. you have are the representative body to the world of the united states and our people and that is their attitude, that is the messaging that has been sent and that's the point of the foreign relations committee, seen as a body that represents the attitude of congress toward the world and it is not just do hatred, call it what it is, attacking a stalwart ally of israel that is always generally under attack, people looking for weaknesses, iran, etc. to wipe the country of the map. it is i don't understand what i was saying. she thinks we are not judging

her by the content of her character but which we are. we are judging her by the content of her character and she is saying she wants us to view her as ignorant, naïve, uneducated, unsure, i didn't know what i was saying. she was a 41-year-old middle-aged woman who has made it into congress, clearly a monumental accomplishment and her excuse is i didn't know any better and hakeem jeffries says she learned her lesson and will try to do better like she is 7 years old. that is the misogyny and it is perpetuated. she had to be removed from that committee because do hatred is not what america stands for. we are against the anti-semitism, against the hatred in general, and the equation of the united states and israel with terrorism and terrorist groups. he's going to speak for people who voted her in, she got checked with removal here,

democrats are generally happy about that and how dare she continue in the smearing of jews and americans in general. stuart: it took 30 seconds to get truly fired up but you got there. >> you can cry and do something. it is about being a role model for everyone and being passionate, but my goodness, let's not make fools of ourselves. stuart: you are all right, thanks. see you again soon. back to the markets, i am seeing some red ink. we get to big tech, mixed picture, apple on the upside after its report yesterday, we are at 153, and alphabet down 2. 5%. market watcher this friday morning joins me now. apple, amazon, google, disappointing earnings.

what does that mean for the rest of the market? >> nothing like a tree of chilly tech reports. traders got ahead of themselves. amazon was up 35% year to date, alphabet is up 25%. none of these companies if you go through it, report anything rosie this quarter, amazon said based on the consumer, cloud growth got cut in half, apple had the weakest holiday sales quarter since 2015, first quarterly sales since 2019 and trying to blame it on supply-chain. we know the consumer is stressed, taking out loans from their where out -- their 401(k). it is going lower after the smart phone market, declined by 18%. stuart: the jobs report and the service sector report, i call it good news for main street,

good news for president biden, bad news for wall street. you agree with that? >> i agree 100%. it gives license to raise rates and crashing this economy into a recession. amazon talked consumers switching lower-priced goods. my fellow et al. young kenny polcari, i would be inquisitive on apple, but it has got to come back down to where it was. apple has always been since 2001 a great by when it dips below 130. i would not go near the dumpster fire of advertising spending with alphabet a meta, and snap. the market is top-heavy with tech, got to be looking from the bottom up, innovators of tomorrow and bargain-basement prices. stuart: i will try to take your advice. stay warm wherever you are.

i concentrate on meta-for a moment. >> >>. how many%. 56.8%, make it 57%. last year was disastrous. citigroup says they are going all the way to 228, the latest to come out. stuart: meta goes to 275. cyrus logic. lauren: audio technology up 7%. apple is one of the biggest customers. their revenue grew almost 8%, and increased amount for its

tech particularly smart phones. people are buying fewer smart phones but are still benefiting. stuart: i want to get back to the huge jobs report added in january. at the labor department, take us through this spectacular report. >> 17,000 created, 3.4% is where the on employment rate went. since may 1969, a little bit of noise based on revisions that were done every year the labor department does revisions. this is a reset on this but what this does show is good job creation, solid growth and that gives license to increase 25 basis points, when you look at the report, grew 4. 5% the past 12 months but still

far short of the 6.5% cpi inflation, the heritage foundation says the average american worker lost 3000, to 4000 a year because of the inflation. the president will use the low and employment rate when he talks about this report in the next few minutes. the labor secretary from this morning, listen. >> a lot of people come back to work, strong economy, large growth in business, hospitality, growth in the healthcare sector and the education sector. you have seen areas people are hiring and a lot of companies have people working. >> leisure and hospitality led the way, adding 128,000 jobs. still 810,000 at pre-pandemic levels, and 58,000 manufacturing, and this is a good report, shows no recession

yet, but federal reserve license. stuart: thank you very much. stephen colbert forces audience to mask up his entire we, he wants to prove the white house, the pandemic is not over. >> i wish you could see the smiles on the faces of my audience and wish i could too because they are still wearing masks. stuart: i don't get it. china confirmed the spy balloon hovering over montana is theirs. they call it a weather balloon, why don't we shoot this thing down? i will ask kongsberg chris stewart next. ♪ ♪

's latest poll shows the president has more work to do.

you see a trend that has been familiar the better part of the last year and that is his overall job performance at 45%. that is relatively the same but when you dive into the actual issues, majority of voters disagree on the handling of everything from the economy to ukraine to border security, still, the white house thinks given the unemployment, perhaps the jobs report, covid being on the back burner they have a decent shot at it. the president will be accompanied by kamala harris heading to philadelphia for economic event and party fundraiser which is a clear sign the president is ready to pass the baton to another democrat. a potential factor which may or may not impact the election plans, the federal investigation, hunter biden, major headlines yesterday trying to flip the script, not calling for common

investigations and raising questions about hunter's business dealings in the infamous laptop. republicans are eager to know more about hunter's past and present. watch. >> we've got to investigate what happened with this laptop. there are 150 report suspicious activity. this was a real story, not a conspiracy and the hypocrisy on the hill is alive and well today. >> reporter: now we wait to see what the president has to say about those jobs reports and whether he will address further questions about the laptop and perhaps what he has got to say about the balloon floating around, want to talk about that? will he talk about the announcement for his reelection. later this month or early in march. stuart: whatever he has to say will be all about the great jobs report, guaranteed. you are all right, thank you for joining us. here we go.

hunter biden and his legal team are denying that his laptop ever existed even after they called for, investigation into it earlier this week. miranda devine, you've got to dig me out of the weeds. i don't care what his lawyers are saying. if it is admitted that that laptop was hunter biden's, what is the significance of that admission? >> reporter: he did admit it through his lawyers. the significance is number one, president biden lied about this laptop, stood on stage and told the world that the laptop was basically russian disinformation, told donald trump it is a russian plant, complete garbage. he knew perfectly well that it wasn't. he knew it was his son's laptop. that laptop was dropped off by

hunter in a computer repair shop. in april 2019, which was just a few days before president biden announced he was running for president, this was a major problem, president biden had gone to ground for the 5 days between publishing our first story and about it. he knew it was bad news, and it doesn't change anything as far as our reporting goes, because we were perfectly satisfied that it was hunter biden's laptop. but now finally, this pretense and the dancing around it from the biden campaign is over regardless of the fact that hunter's lawyers sent another email saying we didn't mean that it belonged to you. stuart: thank you for clearing this up. i get lost in these weeds and

>> i don't know if we should shoot it down but we should make clear we will not allow this to happen again. anyone who believes it is a weather balloon is very naïve. it is clearly an intelligence balloon and it is clearly violating international agreement. honestly, i don't think the opportunity to shoot it down may present itself again, but if this were to recur, we should have a definitive line the chinese cannot cross. stuart: it is the size, we are talking it is the size of three buses, three school buses and has heavy equipment underneath it. it is hovering or flying right over our missile sites in montana and the dakotas. sounds like a threat to me. >> once again it clearly is. the explanation of it being a weather balloon makes no sense.

this is what they say when they are caught doing something provocative. i am glad secretary lincoln is not going there. he shouldn't go there. we make it very clear, we will destroy any assets such as this we find over our airspace. stuart: we recently increased our troop strength or the size of our military capabilities in the philippines, we have been talking with taiwan about defensive weapons for them and now we've got this balloon. it seems their relationship, the relationship between united states and china is going downhill rapidly. >> it is and it is fair to point out we are not being provocative towards china, we are not sending intelligence assets over the china mainland or threatening a sovereign nation like they are towards taiwan. we are not the ones who are not

open, and deceptive about covid, and how they could have helped us protect the world. the list goes on and on of china not only not being a friend or ally, but very clearly there and adversary and more and more people are recognizing that. we haven't seen anything like that in our history with china and it cannot go unanswered. stuart: congressman chris stewart, thanks for jumping on the show so fast, we appreciate it because this is a big developing story. check those markets please, look at the down now, look at the nasdaq now. we opened this morning sharply lower across the board, reading across the board this friday morning. the dow has turned around to a 66 point gain, the nasdaq is in the green, a fractional move up. things are changing fast.

the world's tallest holiday in happens to be in new york city, in manhattan. that holiday inn was given the green light to house illegal migrants. madison alworth is there. taxpayers picking up the tab, are they not? >> reporter: they definitely are. the price tag for this hotel will be a lot. taxpayers are cutting a check of $190 per day per each room. in a 50 story hotel, that comes out to $100,000 a day, with 40,000 migrants coming to new york since last spring to this hotel is the latest solution for the growing migrant problem, the hotel facing bankruptcy, now has guaranteed income for the link this contract which goes until april of 2,024. if a morse permanent solution has not been found before that, taxpayers will then start to pay $750 a night for each room.

the contract starts monday. this is the last weekend before the hotel turns into a migrant shelter. when asked about the deal struck in bankruptcy court to house migrants we got this statement that, quote, as of february 6th this property will not be operating as a hotel nor open for booking during this contract. it's the latest but not the only hotel to serve as migrant shelter in new york city. all of these hotels already have migrants and rooms funded by taxpayers. you and i are in new york city all the time. this is something we see often. i want to give the viewers the perspective of what 50 stories looks like a. this is a 50 story hotel, every single one of these stores, $190. i will leave you with that shot? stuart: stay cool.

a new study, take a look, face coverings only reduce the risk of illness from covid by 5%. doctor frank contasessa joins us, can we put the mask debate to bed? >> the simple answer is yes. this study confirms what we have suspected for the last two years, your average basic paper surgical mask does little to nothing. this is good data that comes from the cochrane institute in england, a world renowned institute, what they do is review studies from around the world, this combines 78 studies from around the world and a million subjects and what it came up with was there was little to no difference when somebody wore a surgical mask whether they got covid, the

severity of the covid, made little to no difference lose this supports what we've been talking about for a while. stuart: would that be true of cloth masks and and 95 masks? >> cloth masks yes. the and 95s came up a little bit better. most of these were studies from healthcare environments, doctors and nurses who were wearing in high-risk environments, and did better. stuart: next case, another study found excessive screen time during the first year of a child's life could be linked to lower cognitive skills later in their childhood. are we going to ban babies from looking at her screen. >> i tends to be against bands in general, i don't like anything that gets banned, but no, we are not looking at that. what the study found over the course of 9 years, they looked

at infants over the course of 9 years, how did they do on cognitive tests, attention deficit issues and they showed executive skills, learning, acquiring new knowledge and things like that. we should have guidelines and most pediatricians will tell parents you should limit screen time in infants especially, young children because their brains are so plastic, and a good foundation for their screen time. stuart: today is national where red day kia pays attention to heart disease in women and women's heart health. is heart disease the leading cause of death for men and women? >> yes, it is. one of 3 deaths of women are cardiac in nature and the whole holiday came about in the early 2000s because a lot of women

didn't realize they were at risk as men, traditionally the stereotype was the older man, and a lot of women didn't realize they were at as high a risk as men. this brings awareness of that, if they have the same symptoms, chest tightness in the left arm that men do, this is a great time to take care of it. stuart: i wasn't aware of that but i am aware now, all of us at fox that you included are wearing red. thanks for being with us. always a pleasure. still ahead, steve hilton, jonathan honecker, rob smith and shannon bream. a huge conglomerate, this week he lost $50 billion.
