abducted new video appears to show russian officers dragging a young man into the back of the car, forcing him to fight putin's war. coming as we learn just how many more troops putin thinks he needs on the battlefield now. plus, former vice president mike pence wrapping up his testimony before the grand jury investigating trump just moments ago. what we are learning tonight about his five-plus hours behind closed doors today. and tucker carlson's pattern of offensive and sexist comments about women, it's not just about calling women the c word. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. dragged into war, new joid into "outfront" shows the violent tactics russia is using right now to get young known the front lines. so, what you're seeing on this video is what's believed to be a russian conscript, a young man, being forced into the back of a car in moscow. the young man is resisting. young man is screaming for help. but he loses. he's taken away. and the person filming says a

police officer is standing by doing nothing. and it is scenes like this we have heard about in moscow, right, go down on the subway, people there who can round people up. it's everywhere. it's happening across russia and moscow itself now. while russia has been ramping up recruiting and, of course, ukraine has as well, russia has been going to the extreme. according to "the washington post," which has seen more of the leaked classified u.s. intelligence documents that were posted online by massachusetts air national guardsman jack teixeira, putin reportedly backed -- reportedly backed his military's proposal to quietly recruit 400,000 additional troops throughout this year for the war in ukraine. 400,000 more. remember, they went in at the beginning of what was estimated to be about 150 to 190, 40,000 or so are dead. so 400,000 more this year. now, according to the documents, there is, though a big concern that doing that could turn

public opinion against putin. and that has forced russia, as we have seen thus far, to require or rely on prisoners and local recruitment campaigns which have been in the far reaches of russia. right? now in moscow. well, this effort to quickly recruit men comes as ukraine itself is gearing up for a counteroffensive. today, we did hear reports of more major explosions in russian-held parts of ukraine. the attack that you see here is said to have targeted either a russian ammunition depot or electricianty substation. the reason we're mentioning these exmotions today is that our tim list is reporting they're seeing a change. a definite up tick in ukrainian attacks on russian hubs in recent days in these past couple weeks which is the same sort of activity that we saw ramping up right before that successful counteroffensive in kherson. this all comes in the context of this incredibly massive leak from the 21-year-old teixeira, accused of leaking the documents.

he appeared in court today. prosecutors say teixeira could still be a threat and may have more classified information which makes him a valuable asset to american adversaries, including russia. this is teixeira's bedroom. this is an image from his bedroom. and on the wall, we just highlighted there in the little spotlight, you see what is a pennant. it bears the insignia of the russian military general staff. infer from that what you will, but this is why they're so concerned. oren lieberman is out front live at the pentagon. you have new details on the government's case against teixeira. what are you learning tonight? >> reporter: today's detention hearing gave us more background information about who jack teixeira is. as well as an incident that kept him from getting a firearm's id for several years but only temporarily. tonight, 21-year-old jack teixeira in custody after appearing in court for his detention hearing.

prosecutors portrayed the suspected leaker of classified documents as a risk to flee, incapable of trust he promised to uphold as a member of the massachusetts air national guard. there is no integrity in teixeira's character because there can be none when there's a profound breach of trust from the u.s. attorney's office said. in a dumpster at teixeira's home, a tablet, laptop and xbox all been smashed. prosecutors said it was a way of them to stopping understanding the seriousness and scale of teixeira's conduct. >> the department is looking not only at our intelligence processes and procedures as it relates to security or sensitive information and who has that information, but also looking at the process by which we clear and vet individuals for security clearances. and that work is on going. >> reporter: authorities say he had an arsenal of weapons just feet from his bed, including rifles, ar and ak-style weapons and bazooka, his room decked out in military cam moe and

paraphernalia. in a recent online chat uncovered by investigators teixeira said he would kill a expletive ton of people calling the weak minded and wanted to make an assassination van and asked another user what type of rifle would be good to conduct a shooting in a crowded urban or suburban environment. teixeira's lawyers argued in court he poses no danger and is not unique in collecting weapons. some people are car guys. some people like boats. and some people like guns, his attorney said in court, defending the client as the pentagon defended the process that led here. the leaked documents exposed the war in ukraine. documents revealed the limitations of ukraine's air defenses and manpower. while also detailing russia's efforts to recruit more troops to plug its military's ranks. valuable info the prosecutors say other countries would covet. authorities warned teixeira may still have more sensitive intelligence hidden away and

could still be capable of causing extraordinary damage to u.s. national security. teixeira remains in custody at this point. the judge hasn't ruled yet in his detention hearing but the judge may have given an indication which way the judge was leaning because he said the prosecution's evidence, quote, fairly compelling, erin. >> thank you, oren. he's been reporting so many of these details. let's go to ian bremmer, retired air force kel nel, cedric leighton. so, ian, let me start with you, though, on what prosecutors are arguing. they're saying that teixeira, 21-year-old is a flight risk. they say he's an attractive candidate for foreign government to recruit. back to that spotlight because i felt like that showed so much, at least to me. there was a pennant in his room, the colors, symbol of the russian government and military, right? the military insignia there. when you put all this together, ian, what do you think? fair to say flight risk?

>> fair to say 21 years old, this is a kid -- we know pretty strongly from what he was sharing and what he was saying on his gaming group that this is a kid that was showing off. it's not a kid that had any significant level of access to decision making, but, of course, he did have -- access to real documents. do i think he could make a real difference in terms of sort of russian leadership and national security? not really. not from what we've seen already. but i think he is a danger to the country and a danger to him himself, frankly. if there's a level of concern that would keep him under lock and key for the time being, given what we know he's done, i'm not -- i'm fairly sympathetic to that argument. >> colonel lleyton, prosecutors said the leaked suspect has a

history of violent threats and arsenal of weapons and that he took information, this is actually one of the most stunning parts of this, that far exceeds what has been reported. so, i mean, on one level this is a little stunning. wow, how did they not know what he got yet. that's deeply troubling probably to many people watching, but how much does all of this concern you that he has a lot more that they haven't seen? >> yeah, it's gravely concerning, erin. when you think about the bulk that airman teixeira may be squirrelling away, it could be quite considerable. volume is not necessarily indicative of the quality of the intelligence, but in this case it could clearly indicate that there might be some, you know, huge issues there that could be quite exploitable by a foreign intelligence service. >> and in all of this, ian, this expected counteroffensive, i guess i'll phrase it that way, is in the works, right?

at some point. we see this reporting from this information, right, that has come out from teixeira, the stolen information. that putin wanted to recruit 400,000 additional people this year to fight in the war. right? so that's double what he had at the beginning of the war, more than double. and so now we're watching this play out. that video at the top of the program that we showed that russian conscript forced into a car as he's screaming and doesn't want to. and we're hearing a lot of other stories like this. you know, these are just videos. they're points in time. it's impossible for us to know whether they all connect in some bigger way. how do you see it? >> i think the big news from this week on russia/ukraine is the fact that xi jinping had an hour-long conversation with president zelenskyy on the anniversary of the chernobyl disaster and the read out from both of those leaders was pretty positive. that's very different from anything that we've been seeing

over the past year of this invasion where the couple points that you just made, which are important, don't get me wrong, but you know, we've known very well of russian catastrophic failures on the battlefield and necessity to raise more conscripts. the difficulty of doing so. we've also known of their incredible brutality and the war crimes they've committed. what we're seeing is more pressure on the ukrainians towards negotiation. that's also true as we get closer to a trump nomination on the gop side and also true because of these leaks, which showed that the americans were concerned that ukrainians weren't going to be able to take much land. in other words, what they were saying publicly and privately understandably a little bit different on this front. and then you've got macron going over and saying i want a cease fire fast. i think the net/net of the week is that zelenskyy is feeling more pressure to get things done quickly and that time is not necessarily on his side. >> so, colonel, on that front,

those explosions in rush. controlled areas of ukraine, tim lister is saying they saw these sort of things, upticks before kherson that were successful but they're seeing this. where do you think they are in this counteroffensive? is this the beginning of it? or not? >> it could be the precursor to something like counteroffensive, erin. you know, one of the key things here is the volume of attacks, both the russians and the ukrainians have actually upped the volume of attacks in recent days. so, the russians are probably trying to respond to the ukrainians. but the ukrainians, through their special forces, are doing quite a bit of work that could soften up the ground for a potential counteroffensive. and that i think we can expect at least in the south and possibly in the east. >> all right. thank you both very much. next, we have new details and these are about former vice president mike pence because he testified today before that grand jury in the special

counsel about trump's efforts to overturn the election. plus, robert f. kennedy jr., remember when he announced just days ago? guess what, he is polling near 20% as he takes on president biden. i didn't misspeak. what's going on? and hero's welcome in china for yaya. as rumors run rampant about her treatment in the united states. ♪ we know you care.

new tonight, former vice president, mike pence, testifying for more than five hours before that grand jury investigating the january 6th attack. and former president trump's role in it. now this is according to sources who tell cnn. it marks the first time in modern history that a former vice president was compelled to testify about the president he served. and it comes just after trump lost an emergency attempt to block pence from testifying about their direct conversations leading up to the insurrection. outfront, ryan goodman, co-editor in chief of just security. we talked about the possibility of this day. i should be clear anything he said wasn't about the actual january 6th itself but about what was before and after because of -- he won that constitutional fight. but, do you think this can move the needle?

even if all he did was repeat essentially what he said in interviews in his book? >> i think so. it's a missing piece so that the special prosecutor -- special counsel can now have direct evidence from pence himself of what the president told him at the time. and doesn't have to rely on this patchwork of what others said trump said to pence. and so, incriminating evidence in part because direct evidence that on january 5th in the oval office, pence says to president trump, i do not have the constitutional authority to try to block the certification. and in the book, pence says that trump responds, you want to play by the marquee of queens bury rules. boxing rules. you want to play by the rules. we're trying to break the rules. because if they break the rules, we break the rules. that's incriminating. apparently another time trump says to him, you're too honest. pence rejects the fringe litigation coming out of louie gohmert in the houssaying that he is trying to litigate to

block pence. >> even those things existed in print, they would not have been usable until they were under oath. just merely getting that under oath, never mind anything additional, that would have been significant. >> absolutely. >> so now let's get to the what more. more than five hours in the building. what does that say to you? >> it says to me that they probably walked through in painstaking detail what happened on the 5th of january, that conversation i just recounted was on the 5th. what happened on the 4th of january, when there's this major meeting between pence and trump and trump's lawyer, john eastman. in the book, pence says he confronted trump and he said, your own lawyer does not think i have the legal authority to return the electoral votes. that's important that they have it coming directly from pence. then there are other things. lack of remorse on trump's part. in his book, pence says president did not try to reach me on january 6th nor for five days afterwards. >> they can get the five days afterwards, right, nothing on

january 6th. >> yes. >> but the five days afterwards. all right, so does this change anything to you in terms of timing? i know they had to fight to get this, right, so part of the timing of it is the fight itself. doesn't necessarily mean this is coming in with your last thing before decision, but it could. what does this say to you about the timeline? >> it does -- i think if they didn't have this piece we wouldn't be able to say he could bring the case or that mr. smith can bring the case at any point. it is such an important piece. it does seem to be the thing that he really needs to clear the way. the only question mark for me is that he's only recently won the ability to cross-examine a bunch of other senior white house officials. that might take a bit of time. >> if he's going to do that. okay. e. jean carroll, the sleeper case. people weren't paying attention to it, now more are. the rape case. so she returned to the stand today, cross-examination. her lawsuit is about an alleged rape in 1996 at a fancy department store in nok.

trump's attorney grilled carroll why she didn't scream. i'm telling you he raped me whether i screamed or not. i don't need an excuse for not screaming. and she obviously yesterday said she never in her life -- she's now 79 years old. was intimate with anybody after this alleged rape. so do you think she's made the case? >> i think so. i mean n some ways we should all remember this is not a criminal trial. to make the case, she needs to prove it's more likely than not it occurred. more than 50%. she needs unanimous jury verdict, but i think she made the case. now in fact, she'll come with two additional witnesses of people she told contemporaneously when it happened. that's big. then we've also got from the judge, a ruling that they can enter the audio tape from the hollywood access tape where trump is admitting this is the kind of think i do. not saying rape. >> right. >> absolutely. >> you're saying the standard is not beyond a reasoned doubt. is it reasonable, 50%.

>> yeah, just 50% plus .1 and it's done. she wins. >> wow. thank you very much, ryan goodman. next, one of the most powerful republicans now slamming ron desantis' threats against disney. >> i don't think the idea of building a prison next to a place you can bring your family is the best idea. plus, newly released video capturing tucker carlson making offensive and sexist comments from women. new video coming out and you're going to hear what he said. ♪ how to grow delicious herbs: step one: use miracle-gro potting mix.

tonight, house speaker kevin mccarthy telling florida governor ron desantis to find way to end his battle with disney. and that his threats against the company don't fly. >> i don't think the idea of building a prison next to a place that you bring your family is the best idea. i think it would be much better if you sat down and solved the problems. >> well, mccarthy's comments coming just one day after disney sued desantis, accusing him of a clear pattern of retaliation after the company spoke out against florida's ban about teaching young kids about gender identity and desantis's actions

are violating disney's right to free speech. out front, scott jennings, the former special assistant to president george w. bush and legal analyst joey jackson and numbers expert extraordinary, harry enton. scott, you heard speaker mccarthy. this is a man who doesn't come out and say that without having decided he was going to say that. you know, doesn't come off in a flip, not thought out way. so do you think desantis has gone too far here? >> well, i think -- mccarthy also said he had advise for disney which is maybe don't be so political. he had advice for both sides. part of the desantis' brand, i'm going to fight wokism, and i will not be distracted. what he is selling is, trump will occasionally complain about these things but he gets distracted and tomorrow he'll forget about it. i'm a dog with a bone. i will never let it go. i will start fights and i will finish them. i think that's what he's communicating here. i don't care who criticizes me.

i will not let this go because it is the core of who i am. now, good political strategy or not. i don't know yet, but that's the brand he's advertising. >> so, joey, governor desantis is overseas right now. he was in jerusalem when he commented about the disney lawsuit. right, time zones were off and so he commented today. and here is some of what he said. >> they're upset because they're actually have to live by the same rules as everybody else. they don't want to have to pay the same taxes as everybody else. i don't think the suit has merit. i think it's political. >> he's got this confidence because he has that harvard law degree. but, you know, practicing lawyers have -- may have a different opinion. so, does the lawsuit have merit? >> harvard law graduates will tell you it does. i will tell you that people who have not graduated from harvard will tell you also it has a lot of merit. and why do i say that? because this is clearly an attack upon speech. why do we know that? if you look at the lawsuit itself, it uses his words

against him. go woke, go broke. it speaks about how he called and convened a special session. in that special session, he was very clear with respect to what he was doing, punishing disney, for their views, for them not being apolitical. so it crosses the line. i think at the end of the day, not only does he lose the lawsuit, but i think he pays attorney fees, et cetera. and i think there's going to be -- there's no question that from a first amendment perspective, the causal connection between what he wanted to do punish and based upon the statements are there. and i think without question he's in trouble. >> disney makes the points actually in their argument, quite poignant, they're taking a stand that smaller businesses and individuals, i'm quoting them, might not be able to take when the state comes after them for expressing their own views. in america, the goth cannot punish you for speaking their mind. they're both saying it's free speech and they are doing this because they're big and because they're a juggernaut and to help -- when others can't. >> listen, i think it's been said. scott, i know you saw this that he was outdone by mickey mouse.

i think that is going to be really the lesson to be taught here. i think from a perspective of having a lawsuit that has merit, that's based on the first amendment, you can't -- if you're a corporation, you're allowed to state what your views are. you're allowed to give the indication that what you're doing, governor, are wrong. so the legislature convenes to punish you for that. can't do it. this is america. >> other side of that, though, this is a more muscular brand of republicanism. and this is what a lot of republicans want is for -- when republicans have the levers of power, to be unafraid to use it to go after the people that they think are harming american culture. i don't know where this is headed, but this is the beginnings of more muscular republicanism. may not be traditional conse conservatism. >> what you just hit on, scott, the heart of what you're going to talk about, harry. mccarthy is not alone. you say you're going to put a prison next to disney, a lot of people got upset. that was enough for a lot of people, a lot of mainstream,

conservative republicans to speak out and take a stand. and here they are. >> yeah. i mean -- it's not good for governor desantis. i don't think it's good for the republican party. this does not help the team. and i just want the team to be able to win. >> i think he's getting it wrong on disney. i don't agree how disney has handled things, but you don't use the heavy hand of government to punish a business. >> if disney would like to move their hundreds of thousands of jobs to south carolina, and bring the billions of dollars with them, i'll let them know i'll be happy to meet them in south carolina. >> all right. they're all on the same page. but where are republican voters? >> let me just say, i preferred disney land to disney world. when it comes to this particular issue on disney, ron desantis pushed this fight with disney. he pushed the six-week abortion ban. the majority of republican voters are with him, but only about two thirds or 60 to 66% are with him. there's about one third of the republican party who is not with him on disney and not with him

on the six-week abortion ban. so this actually splits the gop in some sense, right? so when he has this majority and significant minority disagree. more, is this really working in his republican primary fight against donald trump? and what do we see in the polling? fox news had polled out the last three months. go back to february, what did we have? we had trump ahead but only ahead by about 15 points. now you look at that lead, 30 points in march and 32 points in april. so, this fight -- these fights that he's pushing, maybe they are popular with the republican voters, the bread that's rising, it's not rising the way he wants it to rise. >> joey, what's the timing on a case at this stage? >> it will take a while. there's what's called injunctive relief. it means he's looking for the courts to say that governor, you're wrong. the legislation was passed as a result of retaliation. we want things to go back to the status quo. i think that you'll see -- that will happen pretty expeditiously. i think also they're advising

that his political and perhaps his legal people to get out of this from a settlement perspective. oftentimes you know, erin, it takes months and months and years for a lawsuit to see its way through. this will be more rapid than that. what i wonder right now my lane, from political per spktive, i think he'll take loss after loss after loss. >> it's not like you can quietly stop talking about it. >> yeah. by the way -- >> he doesn't want to. >> i don't think taking -- if i'm haley or asa, i don't see it. >> you talk about polls. i know that -- first o of all we know polls can be wrong. i have now given my disclaimer. there is a poll on the democratic side which posted right after biden announced, okay. and i just want everyone to understand. robert f. kennedy jr. was polled. how was he going to do? his own family didn't show up at his announcement.

anti-vax among other things. how is he doing? just a fringe 1% sort of o guy? >> no. he is polling nearly 20% in the primary against joe biden, according to fox news poll that came out yesterday. i'll point out that that's not the only poll that shows him up in double digits. joe biden is well ahead. >> right. is there precedent for an incumbent, two or three days after your announcement and -- >> and you get this crazy guy out there getting nearly 20%. >> i will point out, though, that if you look back and the 2012 democratic primary, right, and go to the state of west virginia, there was a fellen, there was a convicted criminal on the ballot in keith judd pulled in more than 40% of that primary voter. look, this is a protest vote going to kennedy at this point. more than it's a name recognition thing. oh, a kennedy running in a democratic primary. you don't think it's that, scott? >> i don't think it's name recognition. 70% of the american people don't want him to run again. including 51% of democrats.

they think he's too old. the fact that they're willing to side in a poll with two literal crazy people -- i mean -- >> do you think people know who mary ann -- >> she ran before. yeah, they know who she is. >> age is nothing but a number. nothing but a number. >> well, there is so much more to come on this. thank you. next, tucker carlson reportedly calling a fox executive the c word is what sealed his fate, not any of the other stuff. but it is far from the first time the former host made comments about women. ♪ >> i feel sorry for unattractive women. nothing they did, you know. plus, basketball star brittney griner emotional during her first press conference since being freed from russian prison. >> i'm no stranger to hard times. ♪ i'm going to speak to the sister of another american who is still being held in russia
