"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. jackie: good evening, and welcome, everybody. ukraine imposing a nationwide state of emergency as vladmir putin has now amassed an
6:02 pm
estimated 190,000 troops surrounding ukraine. key ukrainian government websites are reportedly being targeted in a cyberattack. this is a new attack just a day after president biden announced the first tranche of sanctions on moskow. now of course this threat of war might be thousands of miles away but it could certainly have a major impact on americans wallets and edward lawrence is with us with more on that. reporter: jackie, i don't have to tell you about the gas prices but those prices could spread should there be a full-scale invasion of the ukraine. the reason is, many people don't realize ukraine is the fifth largest exporter of wheat and corn. should those exports stop, the u.s. could try to fill the gap lowering supply here and increasing demand. ukraine is also a large producer of neon gas used by 90% of u.s. semiconductor manufacturers.
6:03 pm
any supply disruptions could be worse for companies. seeing potential cost increases. democrats are second-guessing the president's plan and strategy with russia. >> there is a real debate whether we should have tried sanctions before invasion, before the troops came over the border. that is a debate for the history books, but at this point throw the book at it. reporter: republicans say day one president biden's policies green-lighted takeover ukraine. what is worse according to the ceo of american petroleum institute after taking ukraine the nord stream 2 pipeline won't matter. listen. >> nord stream 2 is not as relevant to russia if they seize all the assets in ukraine. they will have access to all the pipelines in ukraine. nord stream 2 is less of an issue once they invade ukraine. that should be very concerning to the european union. reporter: one possible reason russian president vladmir putin doesn't care about sanctions as we're all facing higher prices here at home. jackie: edward lawrence, thank
6:04 pm
you so much for that. u.s. officials now believe a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine could come within the next 48 hours. for reaction to this grim warning i want to get to congressman tim burchett from house foreign affairs. good to see you tonight. let's go ahead and start with ukraine declaring a state of emergency, also john kirby offering a briefing today, essentially laying out a very grim picture when he was asked if there was any possibility that vladmir putin was just posturing here, just trying to show, put on a grand show to show his force, his might, kirby definitely said no. your thoughts? >> well, there is no telling what he is going to do. he has the world's attention right now. he is an egomaniac. he is a dictator. that is what they do. we better start thinking about is as you stated earlier, the price at the pump, america needs
6:05 pm
to, we should have quit, we shouldn't have quit producing oil. we were an energy exporter and the trump administration. unbiden we've closed, we closed down the keystone. keystone produced 830,000 barrels a day and currently we're using 595,000, over 595,000 barrels a day from russia. so, you know, we played right into putin's hands. we need to, we need a different energy policy right now and the president needs to wake up and get off all the wokism with everything because this is what it has cost us. it will cost us our energy freedom if we're not careful. jackie: you bring up an excellent point. i've been saying this for a while as a student of the energy markets for a long time that vladmir putin has essentially seized this moment because energy is not just an issue of survival here in this country. it is also an issue of national security. this is exactly how it plays out when your enemy sees that you
6:06 pm
are weak at home when it comes to your resources? >> yes, ma'am. i mean it goes back to afghanistan. it goes back to last march when they started this movement towards the ukraine and we didn't do anything about it. in fact we went the exact opposite direction with our woke policies and transportation bill that is a nightmare, doesn't address any problems we currently have. if we had a time machine we could go back to direct it but we don't. we should have been supplying all "friends" in europe with oil. currently now they will have to rely on russia and vladmir putin and his cronies who are getting filthy rich off of it. if we had the power now i would say turn the spigots on, get back in the energy business, america, shut russia down, bankrupt them. we could do that without firing a shot. it is good old honest capitalism would do it. jackie: the scenario you're
6:07 pm
setting out here is exactly what putin has been banking on which essentially the sanctions won't impact him. the world needs his energy, whether sending it to europe or sending it to us, there are black market takers as well. he is sitting actually in a pretty good position. i want to talk about the sanctions for a moment. right now it is sort of first level that the president is trying on some banks and financial institutions, on some of the oligarchs there. russians don't seem to be phased by this? >> no, ma'am. and it's a joke too. we need to dig a little deeper. i glad you brought that up. we're hitting fifth andth largest banks. if we want to hit them, hit their top banks, shut them down, shut them down right now. we could do that if we had a leader in the white house who would demonstrate some strong leadership. currently we're playing into putin's hands by these so-called tariffs and other things they're putting out there that will have
6:08 pm
very little effect. who it is going to hurt it will hurt the poor russian people and not the oligarchs. it will not hurt putin. he will eat caviar at the kremlin tonight laughing with all his buddies laughing at america. they have a gdp literally of italy and canada and the world by the tail because of poor leadership. jackie: you talk about bloodshed. i want to go back to that briefing with john kirby. he laid out a grim scenario. listen. >> mr. putin has a lot of at his disposal right now. as i said earlier they are ready to go. it won't be bloodless. there will be suffering. there will be sacrifice. all of that must and should be laid at his feet. jackie: so he is saying there will be bloodshed. you're right. it will hurt the russian people, the ukrainians will suffer as well. and there are many out there who
6:09 pm
essentially say that had president biden been better at his foreign policy this could have been avoided. >> yes, ma'am. if you go back to under the obama administration where biden was allegedly at the table with syria, remember the line in the sand. jackie: i do remember, the fake red line they trampled over and nobody said a word. >> it was a finish line they ran through, not once but twice, if you remember all the details. putin understands that he knows who he is dealing with. we've seen kamala harris over there. i just, i just can't believe that. she can't find our southern border much less the border between the ukraine and russia. jackie: yeah. >> putin, he just laughs, he is treats our president like, you know like he is a schoolyard bully and picking on the littlest kid on the play ground. we take it. this is unfortunate. this is so preventable. we could stop it, if he will say tomorrow, we're going to start
6:10 pm
drilling again. we'll start producing oil. we'll start doing all those things that kept us as energy exporters but unfortunately -- jackie: kept us number one. >> kept us number one. jackie: number one producer. it was not only good for business and consumption here at home it was good for national security. congressman burchett, i have only one more minute with but i do want to mention this. i have got this gallop pull and biden's approval ratings on these issues. coronavirus 47%. foreign fairs. 41%. economy suffering here at home, 37%. how much lower can the numbers go? >> i would say the bottom. he has to reach up to get the bottom at this point. you have to ask yourself when will congress pull off around him? , that's the question. when will congress pull off, when will congress pull off of support and turn on him, his own party? that is what we're waiting on.
6:11 pm
jackie: waiting on that, a lot overseas as well. congressman tim burchett, wonderful to see you tonight. really appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you, ma'am. jackie: okay. new article out says that biden's sanctions on russia don't go far enough. are the punishments too weak to prevent a new cold war? we'll break that down next. >> wait, mr. president, step up, make sure you're doing the right thing because instability in europe does affect the safety and security of americans here at home. ♪. the we gotta tell people that liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need, and we gotta do it fast.

6:12 pm
6:15 pm
jackie: welcome back, everybody. take a deeper dive how president biden handling crisis in europe, are the sanction hit the kremlin enough to stop a new cold war? here is nile gardiner former policy advisor under margaret thatcher. wonderful to see you tonight. i want to start with this. so many people are looking at the map they're essentially saying the troop buildup here. putin can go to ukraine through the north. can come in from the east. has troops down south where crimea is. when the russians annexed crimea and then president obama, then
6:16 pm
vice president joe biden essentially said really didn't do much about it. a lot of people are looking back to that moment saying it is watershed. that they shouldn't. listen to this. guys, do we have the sound bite? james clapper? >> you wish that obama had done harsher, stricter sanctions in 2014? >> oh, yes i do. i wish as an administration had been more aggressive in 2014. jackie: your thoughts on being more aggressive at that time, being more aggressive this time, and how this situation could have potentially been prevented? nile? >> i have to say that's, you know, without a doubt the obama response to the russian invasion of crimea was absolutely disasterous and the response by
6:17 pm
the biden presidency today, to what is without a doubt a russia's second invasion of ukraine, beginning right now, the response so far has been very weak. it has been very slow. and, it does not fill, i think the free world with confidence. biden, following in the footsteps of barack obama has been very, have weak-kneed in terms of response on the russian front. the sanctions biden announced yesterday, are very limited in scope. they target two russian banks. they also target russia's sovereign debt but they don't go far enough. and the entire response or strategy on the part of the biden administration has been based upon simply responding to russian actions rather than upon deterrents. i don't think biden learned any lessons from the failure, the of the obama presidency over the invasion of crimea back in 2014.
6:18 pm
so, once again, a clear lack of u.s. leadership on the international stage. joe biden doesn't really appear to, in my view, have a clear-cut strategy for preventing russia from invading ukraine again. jackie: yeah. >> we've not seen that. and biden does look particularly weak-kneed and toothless at the moment. jackie: we showed the full screen tear. fortune categorized. president joe biden sanctions on russia over disputed ukrainian territory, hit the market with a whimper and limited in scope. when it comes to american people how they are looking at these actions right now, how the administration is handling everything, the new "gallup poll" shows that we have, 36% of people disapprove of what the president's doing. 55% disapprove. these are pretty sharp numbers
6:19 pm
now. >> yeah. you know, i think that joe biden doesn't instill confidence on the international stage and, you know we're not talking about a president reagan here who really knew how to lead the free world. and we don't have the kind of strength an resolve i think that the united states needs to be sending. and in the wake of course of the disasterous afghanistan withdrawal, the russians have been significantly emboldened. the chinese have been emboldened. the america's adversaries is see a opportunity. russians regard to ukraine. they know that joe biden isn't really going to do anything at all, other than you know, threaten, have to implement weaker sanctions against the russians. chinese are growing more assertive over taiwan. the iranian regime is growing more aggressive by the day. enemies on international stage are growing more emboldened.
6:20 pm
feeling in stronger position today and joe biden does not come across as the kind of strong u.s. leader who is going to stand up to the enemies of the free world. and the, our adversaries will take full advantage of that situation. also the doesn't help most of europe is actually cowering before the russians bear with exception of great britain and poland, some of the eastern european countries, especially the baltic states. there is a great deal of weakness in europe. you have a weak u.s. administration. a weak europe, divided europe. the russians are capitalizing upon this situation and you know, without a doubt, you know, we are facing the biggest war in europe since the end of world war ii and 1945. jackie: yeah. >> we are going to see bloodshed on a massive scale in ukraine with potentially tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people killed. jackie: nile gardiner, it is an
6:21 pm
unfortunate situation. we'll continue to watch it. we will come back to you for more insight, really appreciate your time with us this morning. thank you. >> thank you very much. jackie: while chaos ensues at a ohio senate race debate the crowd there shouting at a republican candidate, urging him to leave. this is pretty remarkable footage. we've got it. but first, could student loan payments resuming cost the democrats in the midterm elections? we'll break that down for you coming up next. asoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there and start his own financial journey. that's because these moms all have chase. smart bankers. convenient tools.
6:22 pm
one bank with the power of both. chase. make more of what's yours. we hit the bike trails every weekend shinges doesn't care. i grow all my own vegetables shingles doesn't care. we've still got the best moves you've ever seen good for you, but shingles doesn't care. because 1 in 3 people will get shingles, you need protection. but, no matter how healthy you feel, your immune system declines as you age increasing your risk for getting shingles. so, what can protect you?
6:23 pm
shingrix protects. you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. ask your pharmacist or doctor about shingrix. shingles doesn't care. but you should.
6:25 pm
jackie: well, america, time to mark your calendars. student loan payments are set to resume on may first following multiple extensions by the biden administration on a payment pause that was put in place in march of 2020 by former president trump. with the 2022 midterms rapidly approaching and continuing crises pouring out of the white house, many democrats are wondering if more freebies can save them from losing the majority in congress. here now, macro trends advisors founding partner mitch roschelle. good evening to you. always good to see you. let's start with this. outstanding student loan debt at end of last year, in fourth quarter, stood at $1.58 trillion. so now we're looking at a situation where president biden handed out more money than he needed to, created a supply
6:26 pm
chain problem, created all of this inflation. as america, a country now gotten used to all of these freebies, you wonder if they will play this card because they know when they give people things, they get votes in return? i mean -- >> jackie, it is very simple. it is buying votes. we've seen it in state and local elections, when in doubt just give people free stuff and they will vote for you, no question about it. i think it is reckless. it sends a terrible message to a generation, let's remember these are student loans. these are people learning stuff. so what is the message that our government will teach them? you can borrow money and you don't have to repay it? jackie: right. >> i think that is awful. jackie: what about the precedent it sets for poor people who borrowed money, did repay their student loans, did it the right way, the way they are supposed to do it? that another conversation. this is quote from aoc.
6:27 pm
some of this you can't actually make it up. the president has not been using his executive power to the extent some would say it is necessary. i can't underscore how much the hesitancy of the biden administration to pursue student loan cancellation has demoralized a very critical voting bloc that the president, house, senate, need operative word there, in order to have any chance at preserving any of our majority. she is essentially saying it right there. >> right. what did she learn at boston university? i think she also has 50 grand if i'm not mistaken in unpaid student loans herself. she didn't learn much about economics even though she was an economics major. just carpeting an economy with free stuff does not create a robust economy. jackie: right. >> so, i think, like i said earlier, i think it is completely reckless. by the way, the housing industry, there was moratorium on foreclosures. there was a moratorium on
6:28 pm
evictions. they have gotten through all of that. sitting with 1.5, 1.7 trillion in student loans. democrats say don't worry about it. just vote for us. jackie: last moments that i have with you, i want to lay it out here, you as an expert, correct me if i'm wrong, this is the way i see it. we got through the first year of the pandemic. it was really difficult. president trump put policies in place to help people. by the time joe biden got into office, we had our vaccines. we were on our way to an ernest reopening, recovery, he kept signing bills for trillions and trillions of dollars of extra unemployment benefits, childing tax credits, freebies for people giving for a year kept them at home. that created a supply chain crisis. that created short that furthered the supply chain crisis. that created the inflation problem. here we are, have we not learned our lesson of the damage that can be done when you print money and send out stimulus checks?
6:29 pm
>> and if you looked, that is a very macro view in europe. 1000% correct. if you look at micro basis place like florida where i have a home, florida didn't do any of those things on a local basis. they're creating net jobs. they are not losing jobs. they have an economy growing, they have stability in their workforce. they're suffering from inflation at the national problem but you know what? if you do it the right way you can have a strong economy. jackie: right, florida, texas, several red states set a good example that the blue states refuse to follow. i have to be jealous of your live shots in florida, mitch, instagram photos of the water and the beach. good to see you. >> you're welcome, jackie. anytime, get on a plane. we got a spot for you. jackie: thank you. mitch roschelle, good to see you. huts ton police are sounding the alarm over the lack manpower to arrest wanted felons who are on the streets. what the president of the city's police officer union is saying about that. we got that sound coming up.
6:30 pm
>> when you take resource as way from law enforcement, you have district attorneys who treat criminals like victims, you're going to get anarchy. stuff. we love stuff. and there's some really great stuff out there. but i doubt that any of us will look back on our lives and think, "i wish i'd bought an even thinner tv, found a lighter light beer, or had an even smarter smartphone." do you think any of us will look back on our lives

jackie: welcome back. crime is spiking in democrat led cities around the nation. now the houston police union says that they're facing a manpower crisis, this as calls grow on the l.a. d.a. to step down after enforcing soft on crime policies. he is also getting flak forgiving a child molester a light sentence. joining me now congressman jeff van drew good evening to you. always good to see you. let's start with statistics here to open up the conversation. harris county, texas, more than 25,000 felony charges, 700 plus murder charges, 4 to 6,000 warrants every month, 17 personnel in the sheriff's office criminal division, pardon
6:35 pm
me. it is difficult to understand exactly what is going on here. >> no. you know what is going on here is the horrible fruit that resulted from what was done and what was advocated for by woke democrats. i mean, quite frankly, when i literally spoke to the republican convention, people said what are you going to speak about? i was going to say how much the democratic party has changed and how much it has literally, i didn't leave it, it left me. it left everybody. it has left everybody. let me tell you. when you start saying that four-year-old children can be you know, literally beaten by somebody that has been let out over 40 some times, when you have individuals are raped and committed all sorts of atrocious crimes on young women, when you
6:36 pm
have a police force that has been demeaned, diminished, defunded, this is literally sick stuff. these are really bad people that should be in prison rather. many times, for the rest of their life. i'm going to shock you in what i'm going to say. there are certain cases when the crimes are so heinous, what had been done to young people is so horrible, not only should they be in prison for life, i still believe in some cases that they should be executed because this is what is truly hurting and tearing apart our country. good people are being hurt. this is bizarro world. it doesn't make sense. jackie: it is beyond. we're experiencing it here in new york city. i talk about it literally every night. you're right, the people who are pushing people on the subway, killing them, stabbing women in the middle of the night, they have rap sheets that are extremely long. the problem though, comes down to not necessarily the police departments, it comes down to the d.a.s and the judges and
6:37 pm
it is the same problem in houston as well. i want to be able to play a sound bite, doug griffith, houston police officers union president. here is what he had to say. >> there has been no end to the alleged reform the judges have in place. we have judges out there that are devout socialists, admittedly on their facebook pages, wearing defund the police shirts. when you have that kind of problem in the courts, we're never going to get past this. jackie: he is right. he is absolutely right. >> he is right. he is right. it is wrong. a little quick story. i was in the state senate before i became a congressman. i remember they had some judges sitting there telling us about how wonderful this was all going to be, how it was going to work. they led us to believe that the only individuals that this would really affect were those criminals who would committed really minor crimes or a veteran returned from war, had some problems. that is different.
6:38 pm
what they actually promulgated, what they did to our country literally, i don't use this word often is evil. this is something that should never be. we have to really enthuse our police again. tell them we honor them, we care about them, we need them. we have to make sure literally they're safe. we have to make sure people who committed crimes like this go to jail, if they have committed three strikes and you're out, i believe that. negative done things that are god awful, that they have, they should be in prison for life. as i have said, some people may not like it but in certain situations it is so awful when a small child, when a baby is literally raped and beaten, don't tell me that person shouldn't get the death penalty. they should. jackie: some of what we're seeing is really, really tragic, essentially what is happening is that criminals are being released on the streets to
6:39 pm
terrorize, you know, the good, wholesome tax paying citizens that live in these community. people are starting to really feel it and get upset about it. but some feel it has gone too far. last question to you regarding the manpower issue, when it comes to the police officers. the police officers in this country because of defund the police movement have been essentially demonized. they feel like the powers have been stripped. they don't want to do the job anymore. they don't feel like any honor because of resistance they face when they go to work every day. they take their lives into their hands to protect us. they have the extra layers on it. this will be a movement that has real long-term repercussions? >> you know what? first of all i want them to know that i will stand with them anywhere, anytime in front of anybody because these are individual men and women that are literally, do put their life on the line, out there, doing
6:40 pm
anything to save and to help us. they are our domestic soldiers. we have to honor them. we have to believe in them. we can no longer continue down this path of destroying them. this is just one of many which i won't go into of the initiatives that literally this majority in congress and that this president have taken to literally destroy our country. we cannot go down this path. it has to stop. law and order does matter. the rule of law matters. and the safety of our children, of our families of our seniors, of everybody matters. this is a good country with good americans. we cannot let this continue this way. jackie: hopefully congressman, when people go to the ballot box, they have an opportunity to exercise their voice, a lot are elected positions, they will make the right choices maybe remove some of these people to change the policies. congressman jeff van drew, good to see you.
6:41 pm
thank you. >> good to be with you, thank you. jackie: we have the latest on biden's border crisis. we're on the ground in texas. we have some frightening new video after human smuggling pursuit. officials telling us those incidents are on the rise on the southern border. but first, chaos breaks out at a senate ohio race debate. why the republican challenger was told to leave. we've got this video. don't miss it. ♪. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed.
6:42 pm
indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. my name is douglas. i'm a writer/director whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. and i'm still working. in the kind of work that i do, you are surrounded by people who are all younger than you. i had to get help somewhere along the line to stay competitive. i discovered prevagen. i started taking it and after a period of time, my memory improved. it was a game-changer for me. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
6:45 pm
jackie: republican josh mandel. democratic candidate morgan harper broke out in chaos, following interruptions from an audience member on monday. the moderator asked mandel whether he would like to comment on his previous statements likening black lives matters to thugs. got to listen to what happened after that. want to bring in fox news contributor jason chaffetz to weigh in on this. first, jason, let's pause and
6:46 pm
listen? >> mr. mandel, in your previous debate you referred to black lives matter as thugs. uh-huh. and -- hey, not doing that. >> put him out. >> please. >> you mean put him out like with a bullet? what do you mean, put it out? >> mr. mandel? mr. mandel. >> ask him to leave. >> this is america we need -- >> bring that white man in the black community like that. these are in the black community. >> i'm doing my job. >> he called my parents thugs. >> mr. mandel, mr. mandel. >> put their life in my hands. in marine corporation. two tours of don't stand there and lecture me. jackie: jason what i find particularly interesting about this, isn't necessarily that the person in the audience expressed their outrage what he said, but the fact that she said she wants
6:47 pm
essentially put him out with a lull bet and she also said that he should leave, and not continue the debate -- bull -- there is freedom of speech in this country, we have to have open conversation about what things are happening here. it is hard to do that when you get that kind of resistance. >> yeah, i thought the moderator lost total control of it. if you're going to have a contentious debate between two different parties, two different philosophies and approach, you need a moderator do what they're supposed to do, moderate the debate. what was that, what was that called? i think josh mandel handled quite well, what are you talking about? what does that mean? you know, and then back and forth of the credibility and their josh mandel he served in the united states military people of all different races and creeds, backgrounds and so, it is going to be a contentious
6:48 pm
election year but people need to be respectful. we do need to have debate and respect on both sides of the aisle. jackie: conversation. actually mandel was on "fox & friends" this is what he had to shea bit. i want to listen to this. >> she didn't like i was there. she didn't like i was white in a black church. and she didn't like what i was saying. basically they were asking me to leave because i was a white guy in a black church. it is horrible. it is everything that martin luther king marched against. you know martin luther king said let's judge people based on the content of one's character, not the color of one's skin. jackie: he is right about that. there are certain instances, for example, this one where we played it earlier, that it feels like there is almost a tone, a tenor of reverse racism in this country, when at the end of the day we're all trying to work together just to try to make it better. when he brings up martin luther king, jr., that is 100% correct. that, he wants people to be
6:49 pm
