deliver his state of the union speech tomorrow this as he faces a nation rattled by inflation a war in europe, a two year pandemic, not to mention plunging approval ratings. i'm brian brenberg in for elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. [explosions] brian: day five of russia's invasion into ukraine marked by continued panic and bloodshed. officials from both countries during the first round of peace talks know conclusion. vladmir putin keeping nuclear forces in readiness while russia faces meltdown from ongoing sanctions. edward lawrence about the

conflict and the white house response. reporter: first time ever a central bank the size of russia is, sanctioned. russian banks one by one are being removed from the swift system as a global transaction processing system this is an attempt to isolate russia from the world, much like what was done with iran. all the sanctions have carveouts for energy. that is the problem for republicans. >> the biden administration was wedded to this threat of sanctions only strategy that ultimately failed to deter putin. i'm for sanctions. i think it is remarkable this administration was dragged kicking and screaming into it. many situations european allies were moving more quickly than us. reporter: the administration was talking about minimizing impact to americans while maximizing the impact on russia of the officials say collective interest in degrading russia's lock on global energy. the governor of alaska says all

the biden administration has to do is reverse policies on energy and he can't understand why they import russia energy at all. >> the molecule from america is cleaner than a molecule coming from russia at the same time we'll supply our friends and allies with american oil if we're allowed to do that. that makes for better national security and a lower price at the pump. reporter: sanctions caused a run on money for russia. caused the stock market to close and not caused a withdrawal of russian troops from ukraine. brian: edward lawrence at white house. thank you, edward. an estimate of 500,000 ukrainians fled ukraine and russia's aggression has concerns about the days ahead. we welcome national security advisor lieutenant keith kellogg and mariannette miller-meeks from house homeland security. welcome to you both.

general, i will start with you, all eyes on the prospect of talks and some kind of a diplomatic path out of this, general. general, do you see any zone of agreement that can get russia and ukraine at the table talking about a possible deal? >> brian, thanks for having me. no. i really don't. look, putin is really using this just as a ploy. if i was zelenskyy, president zelenskyy of ukraine i would probably say let's make a deal, you remove all your forces from ukraine then we'll talk. these talks are going to go nowhere. putin is determined to take ukraine. he is massing forces, continuing to move his forces but i will tell you very candidly, brian. he is stalled out. he is at the risk of losing this thing because the longer it goes and international pressure builds on him he is becoming a pariah personally and his nation has become a pariah state. i think he is failing now.

i don't think the talks will go anywhere at all. brian: congresswoman, how big of a deal have the sanctions been? are they part of the reason, to use the general's words, putin is failing now? do we need to see more sanctions? where do we go from here? >> certainly the sanctions were welcome and a little bit overdue and a little bit late. they should have been applied earlier and having the russian banking system out of swift is an important step. i do think in your intro our european allies were actually more forceful than the u.s. so we lagged behind. they're certainly welcome now. we should continue to arm ukraine. we should continue to support allies in the region, lithuania, romania, poland. so they know we will support them. we should start engagerring in reinvigorating our domestic production right now f you want to lower gasoline prices because you're concerned all of this turmoil is increasing gasoline prices and enriching russia one way to do that is domestic

energy production. don't buy any oil and gas from russia. the shipments coming next week should be halted and we should not receive them. brian: general, when you're talking about negotiations or sanctions everything depends how the person on the other side of the table receives it and mind set. former secretary of state condoleeza rice delivered a very grim warning on "fox news sunday" on putin's mental state. listen to this, general. >> i met with him many times and there is a different putin. he was always as senator rubio said, this is an ex-kgb man. he was always calculating and cold but this is different. he seems erratic. he is descending into something that i personally haven't seen before. brian: general, erratic, descending into something we haven't seen before. what does that mean in terms of how the path could play out here? >> well, look, brian, it is very accurate statement. look, i was on 18 different

phone calls with putin when president trump was in the white house. i actually met him in singapore with vice president pence. he was nothing like he is today. i think it is either covid got him or he is isolated, i don't know what it is but he is sure not the same person that i remember for four years in the white house and when you become erratic like that, you become very isolated you have to watch what they're going to do and lash out. i don't know if you saw that picture this weekend of him talking to his two defense officials, his defense minister and also his basically his chairman of joint chiefs. their faces were very, very grim. you go something is not clicking, something is not right. because of that you are very concerned about potential erratic behavior. i think we should be worried about that. brian: general just a quick follow up on that, how much of strategy has to be based on dealing with a rational actor? in other words, when you're making military strategy and

diplomatic strategy, negotiation strategy, do you bake in the possibility of the person across the person is just straight upper rat tick or crazy? how do you deal with that? >> that is a great question, brian. look, by, he proved he is erratic because he invaded ukraine which makes no sense to me at all but if you're a good advisor, a good strategist, you plan for things like this to happen. you make the bet that the person across from you is in factor facterratic. makes no sense to go into ukraine like he did. brian: congresswoman, briefly, president zelenskyy said we want to be part of the eu he signed documentation. he received invitations. is that a possibility? could we see something like that happen? >> i think certainly other european allies seem to be more receptive to admitting ukraine,

also ukraine has one of the highest troop forces in the european union and we know that under president trump he wanted the european union to take more concern and pay its dues in nato and be concerned about its own security. i think they're seeing the folly letting their defenses go with russian aggression regardless of the mental status of vladmir putin. he is a thug. he violated international treaties. he violated international accords and he needs to be held accountable and we need to stay strong and be held accountable for ukraine. brian: don't stay yoked to a dictator that is the lesson they're. general, congresswoman, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. brian: the war in russia expected to be the top priority in the president's state of the union speech tomorrow night, this as he deals with inflation here at home and the two year pandemic. will the crisis overshadow his

♪. brian: president biden likely to tackle the russia ukraine crisis in his state of the union address tomorrow night. this as he also faces the problem of surging inflation here at home, rising crime rates and a two-year pandemic. so will his message be overshadowed by the crises? hillary vaughn has the latest. reporter: good evening, brian. president biden is not ripping up his state of the union address but he is rewriting parts of it in light of what's happening overseas. the game plan was to sell the president's domestic agenda and flaunt his wins during his first year as president but now the president is making some cuts to make room to address what's happening overseas. >> certainly what we're seeing on the ground in ukraine, the fact that the president has built a coalition of countries around the world to stand up to russian aggression, to stand up to president putin, put in place crippling sanctions that will be part of people will hear in the speech wouldn't have been the case three months ago. reporter: while russia and

ukraine are dominating the headlines the economy is on top of people's minds. people are facing sky-high gas prices. "fox news poll" gives a preview what is keeping up americans at night. inflation at the top of the list, jobs, economic breath, cove policy at the very bottom of the list. a majority of americans do in the think biden is doing a good job. on the economy 61% of voters disapprove. senior administration officials say the president plans to use his state of the union address to offer fixes for some of the rising costs americans are facing including asking congress to pass legislation that would lower prescription drug costs and health care premiums, making child care and pre-k more affordable, bringing down energy costs, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, providing paid family medical leave. guaranteeing workers the right to unionize. the president will also ask congress to pass legislation,

put something on his desk that would address the deficit. brian? brian: hillary vaughn, thank you very much. well joining us now to discuss is senator marsha blackburn. senator, great to see you tonight. >> good to see you, brian. brian: the president has, let's say a very tough speech to give tomorrow night. we can talk about what you think he will say but let's start here. senator, what does president biden need to say to america and the world at this present moment? >> president biden should come out as a strong resolute freedom fighter. that is not his nature. what he should do stand there we'll focus on energy independence, the way putin is financing his war against ukraine, is because you have people buying oil and gas from russia. russia is basically a big ol' gas depot, oil depot and they have got an army and what we need to do is cut that revenue

stream. biden would do well to say we're not going to import 600,000 barrels of oil per day from russia. we're going to stop it, we're going to become energy independent, independent, once again like we were when president donald trump left office. so, that would be a good starting spot. another thing would be to say, hey, inflation. a big part of that inflation is energy. so, yes, we take that into account. we're also looking at the cost of food and what policies have done to drive up the costs of food, of logistics, of transportation. this would send a huge message but this white house has been tone deaf. they have chosen not to do that. they're trying to act as if they can soft pedal what is happening in russia, ukraine, what is happening with china and that

everything's going to be good. joe biden has thought he could come in, say, old buddy, old pal, let's talk about this but that is not the way the world is working. >> that is not the way the world is working. senator, thinks he has a explanation why americans feel so negative about everything. listen to this. >> this is a phenomenal negative psychological impact that covid has had on the public psyche and so you have an awful lot of people who are notwithstanding the fact that, that things have gotten so much better for them economically, that they are thinking, but, how do you get up in the morning and feel happy, happy that everything is all right? brian: things have gotten so much better for them economically. senator, to me that sounds like the preview for the state of the union tomorrow night. what do you think? >> i have to possibly say that, when people have less money in

their paycheck, when people are having to spend an extra 20, $25 a week to fill up the car. when they go fill up every week. when their grocery bill is not 7 1/2% higher but 15, 20% higher. when their money does not go as far. when they're having to pay delivery fees they never had to pay before. this is ridiculous, that he would think that people are better off and it is all bus of because of covid. here's the thing, this is what a leftist will do. they will always pass the buck and make it somebody else's fault. it is never their fault because they feel like if you had socialism and that you could not have a divergent opinion, everybody had to believe and say the same thing, then, the world

would be wonderful but you know what? people do have opinions, people are living real lives. they are going to work. they're trying to tend to their families. they're trying to get to the grocery store, get to the gas station, pay fees for school, get children signed up for sports and activities, everything is costing more. summer camp this summer is going cost more. joe biden needs to realize what we realize in tennessee, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. when they are looking at joe biden's policies, they are not happy. whether it is mandates, whether it is lockdowns, whether it is crt in the schools, whether it is an open southern border, crime in the streets, drugs, sex trafficking, human trafficking, afghanistan, russia, not standing up, strong enough for

ukraine. the list goes on and on. i kind of could get on a soapbox there, can i? brian: i hear you. i started the segment saying he has a tough speech tomorrow night. i think you nailed exactly right, and senator, i agree with you. you know what the best thing to do is? deal with reality the way it sits right now. that is what the president needs to do. we will leave it there, senator. appreciate your thoughts. >> take care, bye-bye. >> as the war overseas triggers a gas crisis in america, the republicans are calling the president to reopen the keystone xl pipeline. what are the chances he will do it? we'll break it down next. >> president biden started off his administration by kneecapping america to be able to produce energy. that we're seeing consequences that we're seeing consequences of that right now. ♪. it has the power to change the way we see things. ♪♪ it inspires us to go further.

south jersey, paulsboro. the pbf refinery. but they -- they just produce the gas and right now we're at $3.61 the average gallon of gas in the u.s. has been rising for as long as we can remember, up about a dime in the past week. you know why is this? well obviously it is the situation in ukraine. the screws are indeed tightening. i guess that is good in some regard but things like that -- with folks at bp has now gone away, it was a deal that perhaps will cost bp 25000000000 with a b, 25 billion with a b dollars. they will make the oil supply even tighter. you mentioned possibility of increasing oil supply. i should point out we're still the number one producer of crude oil in this country in this world, country is. we produce about 11.4 barrels of

crude oil a month. that is more than russia or saudi arabia. but we used to produce a whole lot more than that. that is what a lot of people would do, would suggest that we do to bring the prices down. also when it comes to natural gas, i want to leave you with that one. there has been a huge impact there as well. used to be russia was the number one provider to natural gas of europe. we're actually doing a pretty good jobe of that right now. 26% of europe's natural gas is the u.s. we're the number one provider. russia was 41% a couple years ago, down to 20%. all good. people that produce energy in this country say we could do a whole lot better, we'll have to do a whole lot better if the situation in ukraine continues. a lot of oil supply will go away. they need natural gas as well. the folks here say we can provide it. brian: jeff flock, camped out at the refinery. thanks for being here, sir. reporter: my pleasure.

brian: here to discuss the energy crisis in america, daniel turner, executive director of power the future. daniel, pressure mounting on the president to make america more energy independent. many republicans want biden to reopen the keystone xl pipeline. jen psaki has a different take on this. listen to this. >> i would also note that on oil leases what this actually justifies in president biden's view the fact we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, on oil in general, we need to look at other ways of having energy in our country and others. one of the interesting things we've seen, george, over the last week or so, a number of european countries are recognizing that he need to reduce their own reliance on russian oil. brian: daniel, your reaction to the press secretary's strategy for oil independence. >> it shows a reallying nor rans on the administration how the

energy sector works. the problem with jen psaki's talking points, all renewables are made fromto fossil fuels, wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles. the big lie the left has told the nation outside of climate hysteria, that these renewables will replace oil and gas and coal. they won't. we'll just use them in a different way but we're not going to use any less of them. proof of that as the price of bread and meat and everything else has gone up, the price of solar panels has gone up 50%. why? because they're made by fossil fuels. making energy inexpensive americas all things inexpensive. that is the good for the country. brian: what if we got the shocking development the president said, we need to drill more oil at home, build more pipelines, sold more natural gas, if he made that complete u-turn, how long would it take before the u.s. could get up to

a capacity level of where it could really start to crowd out some of what russia's providing to europe, for example? >> well, i mean people were surprised we got vaccines within a couple of months under president trump. so i guess if there was a real marshall plan so to speak anything is possible. it could be done maybe within a year or two years but realistically it will take several years. these are long-term infrastructure projects. something like keystone was 10 years in the making. you know capital markets. you know how hard it is to raise the revenue to build these projects. then when you finally bring them to the government for permission and someone like deb haaland, the interior secretary is holding them up as she is holding up six lng natural gas terminals, they will never be brought to market that is the biggest problem. not just the money. not just the investment and the time but you need a government who will cooperate with you and this administration has made

punishing fossil fuel its priority since day one. brian: that is such a good point, daniel. the money is there. the investors are there. there are projects that can produce a return, can produce oil, produce natural gas but you have to trust the administration it won't pull the rug out from under you you you like it did with keystone. that is one of the problems getting america back online. i want to ask you about germany. they seem to have a wake-up moment. we can't rely on russia the way we have. do you see the possibility for something good coming out of europe on the energy front in the months and years ahead, very quickly? >> yeah. germany's response was tremendous. it is very encouraging to see them wake up to this. yes i would like to see germany work with the united states, work with canada and buy their energy from countries that are reliable. the more we isolate putin, the

more we isolate countries like iran that also produce oil and gas the better it is for world peace. so germany gave a very good example and the rest of the free nations should follow it. brian: daniel turner, always appreciate your insight on the subject. appreciate you being with us. >> thank you, brian. brian: there is new reporting coming in texas border agents caught a dozen gang members including seven ms-13 members within the last seven days. that story is coming up. first inflation woes, president biden keeps saying the surging prices will ease up. is it true and if so when? we're talking with an expert next. ♪ ♪ limu emu and doug.♪ and it's easy to customize your insurance at libertymutual.com

we're still going to be having those problems? >> they may be a little more fuller. not sure the products you want but costs will not be lower whatsoever. brian: talk about the roadblocks here. what remains in the way? we have covid restrictions pulling off a little bit. at least for now that should help but what is out there getting in the way of products to shelves? >> first of all you never know whether another strain comes out, that is always a black swan as we saw early in the year china was shut down. other than that a lot of roadblocks are capacity. still right now you have a lot of delays on the west coast. you have a lot of shipments that were then sent to new york on the east coast. they're now starting to have a lot of congestion delays as well and that will continue and not start subsiding as well. brian: you have the crews and

crains that work on the ship how will that things get on ship get things out of port and into port? >> what i heard from various sources what possibly could happen those crews, kind of like airlines, you move them around for different routes. now though may not be able to get to other vessels, there is a clog there. that may further impact the steamship lines that are using their crews to go to different lanes. so that's another problem that's prevalent. brian: we talk a lot about trucking and the problem of getting product across, over land. shipping obviously is a huge deal here. there has been a lot of consoledation in the shipping market that actually made it a little bit tougher for the little guys, medium and small businesses to get product, ship product. talk about that. >> i think this will be transformation of trade forever. the past 20 years the steamship lines were barely making money. 2016, the korean carrier went bankrupt. there are a lot of other

steamship lines that had to combine with one another because they couldn't afford to carry on their business in that type of way. now what happened is $200 billion plus last year that these carriers collaboratively, they made so much money they're buying airlines. they want to touch every part of the end to end supply chain. the small, medium type companies are trapped. they say if you don't bundle our services use this, you will pay more here, more there. it is really i feel the start of the fall of the mid-sized to small importer. brian: so the targets, walmarts, big shippers love to work with them. they will ship, fly their product but they're looking at the smaller guy saying it is too much work, there is too little reward in it? >> common sense if you can deal with walmarts, targets, hundreds of thousands of containers, you have to deal with 5000 smaller i am i am porters for hundreds of

thousands, it doesn't make sense with that so it will be big business, dealing with big business and scrambling for, when i say smaller i am povertiers several of my clients had steamship line contracts for 250 million-dollar companies, the steamship line said we gave you containers last year. we'll give you half the containers and double your price. brian: wow. i wanted good news today, salvatore, what you're telling me this could go on a lot longer than we thought. better to know what is really going on even as the president resolving things in 2022. great insight. >> thank you. >> another subway attack in new york city. turns out the suspect has a rap sheet that dates back four decades. when will the soft on crime city get tougher on criminals. break it down next. >> these kinds of stories are just becoming so common now and in many cases the offender is someone who has been let out of

the last two years in the new york subway system. slashings are up 35%. overall crime is up 75%. we're seeing the same disturbing trend in chicago where assaults are up 35%. in seattle the because drivers don't feel safe driving because the drug use is so bad, rampant drug use, they can't drive it this is completely insane. it is not showing any signs of slowing down. we have rogue d.a.s, the unmitigated disaster called bail reform created a revolving door criminal justice system. the criminals have no fear they're being held accountable. look at this individual, he bash ad woman's skull in with a hammer and kicked her down a flight of stairs. just the other day another individual assaulted a him and wiped feces hundred other face, feces. we have the homeless sets up studio apartments in these subway cars. the sad part is, we do not have to live-like this.

combat this lawlessness we're seeing is holding people accountable for their actions. i mean, this isn't rocket science. the american police officer delivered storied crime reductions in 20 years prior. we did it because we enforced laws on the books. we made sure we held people accountable for their actions. we prosecuted these crimes but the message is very clear to the little element in this country. you will not be held accountable for your actions. so we have people who are out on multiple, eight or nine -- seven bonds. not shoplifting snickers bars. talking about shooting people, robbing people. they get cut a sweetheart deal from a rogue d.a. what are you teaching that person? go out there to do it again because nothing will happen to you. brian: violent crime is so bad. joe, i'm very short on time. i see police officers on the subway, thank them for their service and what they're doing, i believe it drives them completely nuts trying to deal

with this. quickly what is morale like in some of these places, big cities? >> brian, i've been a police officer 17 years, i have never seen morale as bad as it is now. we're going out there, risking our lives, communities we love, communities we care about. they deserve to have safe streets, they deserve to have safe schools. they deserve to feel safe like everybody else. when we see hard work thrown down the drain by d.a.s, the laws in place, it is completely demoralizing to us. not the -- bet against us. 346 police officers shot this year. we're out paying that number by 60% already this year. it has never been harder to be a police officer in this country than it is right now. brian: it's a time we need police officers to be at their very best, motivated to do great work in the communities. to recover and restore what people need, families need to live in these places. joe, thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me.

brian: new reporting coming in revealing texas border agents caught a dozen gang members and six migrants with criminal records over the last seven days. we have more on biden's border crisis next. >> more than four million coming in in one year? 2 doesn't take long to completely eliminate the freest country in the world. ♪ on a daily basis. with pronamel repair toothpaste, we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair.

>> there is new reporting, revealing texas border agents caught a dozen gang members, including 7 ms-13 members in the last seven days, officials caught 6 migrants with criminal records, including convictions for murdermes againt children, here is discuss arizona attorney general mark bernovic, that is bone chilling. >> thank you for having me on. we know that there are a crisis throughout the world our thoughts and prayers with so many, remember, here is on the southern border we have been fighting the biden administration's failure on

secure our border, and their lack of desire to protect our communities, we have a record amount of people who have illegally crossed. we have a record number of got-aways. we know there are people that are dangerous hardened criminals that are being released into our community, people are coming across that are murderers and rapists and arsonists. we have lost operational control of the border, we've. one number that i want to mention in last 3 months, 2500 more than 2500 pounds of fentanyl has been seized along the border, that is enough to kill 200 million americans, that is just the past 3 months. >> where does it go. it is not staying in arizona or border states, talk about the route. that is a shocking number to

me. talk about where it is finding its way. >> from manhattan beach to manhattan, kansas. to manhattan, new york. affecting every community. what happens, the cartels, smuggle to u.s. through various routes, then it gets distributed through hubs like phoenix, throughout the nation, throughed midwest, chicago, st. louis, we who have seen consequences of this, last year in this country over 100,000 americans died of fentanyl and opioid related deaths, overdoses. this is devastating. not only just because of the lives lost, there is a fiscal cost, this is affecting us in our productivity as a country, families are torn apart, you have kids dying, in pima

county, fentanyl overdose deaths and drug deaths are the number one cause of deaths, for teenagers. >> where lives are not lost they are destroyed. it such an insidious drug, kash patel told our maria bartiromo biden administration is not taking the border crisis seriously. >> bringing home hostages. stemming flow of narcotics. that is what focused. this department of defense is focused on climate change and the weather. >> terrorist and narcotics that is the stakes involved, he say they are not taking it seriously. it is about climate change with the border. >> brian, the man-made disaster facing the world today, with total disrespect

to john kerry is not climate change, it is the border crisis, that the far left created here in the united states, we just talked about massive inflow of drugs and people. people on terror watch list have been apprehended. i know from my own experience in southern arizona, currenciy from countries like yemen and somalia and saudi arabia, country on terror watch list, like iran, this have been items and currency found in our desert, people trying to evade capture we know from middle eastern country, and the people on terror watch list have been apprehended, shame on biden administration for failing to recognize that border security is national security. we need to do everything we can to protect our border here in the u.s. of america. >> you would like to hear a lot about this in state of union tomorrow night. i think for the good of the country, i do doubt we're going to. the stakes are so high, from

manhattan, kansas to manhattan, new york people will feel the affects. we have to leave it there thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> that does it for us elizabeth macdonald will be back for her show tomorrow night. kennedy: i'm back with breaking news, russian military stepping up bombing campaign against ukraine, ground troops try to incircle the capital of kyiv. ukrainians are serving up cocktails to russian soldiers, "the hangover" is a bitch, sirens ringing out across ukraine. it is pitch black there, the russians have a harder time bombing the place, technology is lackluster at-this-point.
