getting crazier. the white house is concerned about it. >> some progressives downplay and deny the existence of the crime crisis. we are seeing it firsthand in new york city as it showed up in our doorstep overnight. more details on that in just a minute. you are watching "fox and friends first" on wednesday morning. todd: criminals don't care, admitting committing crimes on tv. we begin with president biden and russian president vladimir putin's call, threatening sanctions against russia putin invaded ukraine but is it enough? >> the white house blowback for biden, facing some blowback, griff jenkins joining us with more. >> the high-stakes call lasted 2 hours with both leaders agreeing to continue a dialogue. afterwards national security adviser jake sullivan says president biden sent a firm message to the russian leader. >> we still do not believe president putin has made a

decision, what president biden did was lay out clearly consequences if he chooses to move. >> video the call coming from russian state media. watch. >> good to see you again. last time we didn't get to see one another at the g 20, next time i hope we do it in person. >> the white house not divulging the extent of the economic sanctions threat if putin invades but acknowledge they are prepared to go farther than what was imposed in 2014 and sullivan says biden made no concessions on putin's demand to block ukraine from joining nato suggesting also the nordstrom 2 pipeline could be used as leverage. >> gas is not flowing to the nordstrom 2 pipeline which means it is not operating. is leveraged for the west because if vladimir putin wants to see gas flow through the

pipeline he may not want to take the risk of invading ukraine. >> reporter: satellite imagery showing putin's forces massing what appears to be more than half of the 175,000 troops he plans for which for perspective is the same number of us troops at the height of the iraq war. that is drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers. >> i think he thinks president biden is weak. i think he thinks president biden is a sheep in sheep's clothing particularly after afghanistan. >> reporter: after the call the president spoke with european allies but we are watching to see what president biden says after he speaks with ukraine's president tomorrow. >> reporter: thank you. russia released the readouts of the phone call with president biden, from their perspective the president of the united

states released and they say the reason for the troop buildup is they are trying to keep the western world from creeping into their territory so they say it is nato that is making dangerous attempts to conquer ukrainian territory and doubling its military potential at our border, therefore russia is seriously interested in obtaining reliable guarantees excluding expansion of nato in the eastern direction so sounds like the goal of vladimir putin in all this, the reason he's amassing all these troops on the russia ukraine border is because he wants to make sure ukraine does not get into nato because if it does then the united states and our western allies would have to defend it which would be vladimir putin's worst-case scenario. neil: does seem like the goal. we are talking about it because putin put himself in a position of strength. the biden administration by

doing what it did with the nordstream pipeline gifting that to vladimir putin without giving any concessions in return totally destroyed the american leverage play with regard to vladimir putin and russia and jake sullivan said we do have leverage because the oil isn't on but if you go back a few months you would have had more leverage of the pipeline wasn't in place in the first place. >> interesting that after president biden supported the nordstrom 2 pipeline overseas which is the pipeline that connects russia to germany, weakens ukraine, that was a few months after he canceled the keystone xl pipeline, all the pipelines on the same planet, fighting global warming, that defeat the purpose. >> we send you to nordstrom 2 shortly, the house passing the national defense bill,

$770 billion in funding for that affirmative defense, and complaints use some of that money to purchase new military planes and earmarks funds to deter russian aggression in eastern europe and the specific deterrence initiative focuses on countering chinese aggression, the bill heads to the senate where will likely be voted on later this week. did you hear about this? philadelphia's former democratic mayor condemning the city's liberal da for not calling the crime search a crisis. listen to what the da had to say. >> we don't have a crisis of lawlessness, we don't have a crisis of crime, we don't have a crisis of violence. >> michael mother, the former mayor says a record 521 people have been murdered in philadelphia this year. he added how many more have to begun and down to meet your definition of a crisis? letter calling the da's comments some of the worst most ignorant and most faulty comments i ever heard spoken by an elected official.

>> robbers hitting stores during the busiest season of the year as one city leader blames the retailers. >> bouygues on the crimes of the white house response. >> as a wave of smash and grab robberies continue run the country the biden administration distancing itself from progressive democrats who are downplaying the crisis surge. alexandria ocasio cortez casting doubt the thieves are organized, she says we are seeing a lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not panning out. chicago mayor lori lightfoot saying it is left the store owners to curb crime. >> i'm disappointed they are not doing more. we still have retailers that won't institute plans like having security officers, locking up merchandise at night, chaining high impact, you need these retailers to step up.

>> press secretary jen psaki at the white house making it clear tuesday they are not on board with the controversial comments saying they don't agree and support increases of law enforcement and the state of theft gripping california cities as the oakland city council fors to increase police staffing to combat rising crime after voting to cut the police budget by 18 million just a few months ago. in san francisco a brazen shoplifter says retailers efforts to curb crime are not effective. >> i think they are not very good because i personally have been able to shop with relative ease. >> in los angeles in battle progressive da george gascon has remained silent, the vice president of the la deputy district attorney joined us earlier with his take on gascon's liberal policies. >> not only has he not done anything, in a sense he has

todd: jussie smollett interrupting the prosecutor who was reading his text messages allow without censoring language as the actor was sitting on the stand. joining me, jack brewer, great to see you. what did you make of him interrupting the prosecutor with regard to that derogatory language? >> it was pretty unbelievable. his whole case has been shocking, the audacity of this man to go out and -- to understand spiritually how he is coming to these types of thoughts and feelings and emotions. i think he is confused. i pray for this man. the way he has used race and being able to fake so much and we see him walking around with

an entourage, unbelievable that folks are supporting this nonsense when we have kids out here, families out here in america's it needs so much, so many people that are out here trying to fight for racial equality and justice for young african-american kids and kids that are going to the schools that are broken and don't get an opportunity to play a sport and have no one supporting them. we have crisis situations going on in the country, people like jussie smollett and others who are rich, have been blessed with wealth and fame, using race to divide this nation. shame on him. shame on the people of chicago who are supporting this man. we got to do better as americans. todd: continuing to broaden this out you say this entire jussie smollett saga is taking away from black america. why do you say that?

>> because we have too many things to fight for. every day i leave work early to try to help these kids whose reading and math efficiency levels are in the tank. they don't have proper nutrition, they don't have stable homes a lot of them. we are trying to do what we can to help them. to have people that are actually using those inequality is that so many young black people have for personal gain, playing around with race, telling people trump supporters are racist, fabricating some big lie like this, major media outlets like cnn and people like don lemon supporting this garbage, growing up in texas i never thought i would see a day you had two high profile black gay men on television supporting this type

of nonsense. it is unbelievable the message we put out to these kids across the nation. it makes you wonder, we are in a spiritual battle, we are not on the side of god, don't want to talk about christ in our schools anymore and you can see just look at this, you can see people are sick right now, people's minds are twisted and they need to have their minds renewed like in romans 12-numtwo. we, be conformed by this world because this type of mess is transforming the minds of our kids, it is devilish, we've got to stop it. america is better than this, black america is better than this. every african-american leader should be standing up against this nonsense right here. it happens too much, happen hundreds of times, people using hate crimes, faking them for their own personal gain. stop it. we are better than this. todd: an episode like this detracts from real racism in society. that does need to be addressed if we are to move forward. jack brewer, great to have you on the program.

immigration enforcement. illegal border crossings roster record levels under the biden administration. biden's controversial pick to run the office of the comptroller currency is withdrawing her nomination. she faced sharp criticism from republicans and democrats for suggesting the nationalization of banking and encouraging bankruptcy of the fossil fuel industry. her views were compared to communism during her confirmation process. she said her radical past statements were only academic views. todd: a federal judge in georgia halting president biden's covid vaccine mandate for federal contractors across the country, the judge, an appointee of donald trump writing even in times of crisis this court must preserve the rule of law and ensure all branches of government are in the bounds of their constitutionally granted authorities. the order blocks the mandate is the case plays out in court. the bad news doesn't stop for president biden.

>> new polling from the wall street journal shows voters are pessimistic about the biden economy and the president's overall leadership. joe concha is here to react. let's get to one of the polls the wall street journal released. they say 61% say the economy is headed in the wrong direction 46% expect the economy to get worse this year. the thing i find interesting is this poll was taken after the infrastructure bill passed. the biden administration nothing the bumps they thought they would under the bipartisan bill passing. >> a few things to unpack from this poll, it's the economy stupid is number one, the old bill clinton campaign slogan that led them to victory in 1992 but the president stuck at 41% approval overall, 57% disapprove

despite mostly friendly press and we are not one year in. no bump from the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed last month that was supposed to change the tide the core support for biden is patently soft, 19% approve of the president, 46% strongly disapprove so you have a weak base unlike the previous president. among independent voters, these are the folks who decide elections, the president is 30% approval, 3 in 10 independents approve and only 30% of the country expect the economy to improve in 2022 so you are looking at a pessimistic electorate, i haven't been this earlier couple days. overall by incredibly high margins more voters think inflation will get worse rather than better this year, crime and border security will get worse before it gets better. no good news for team biden and democrats.

todd: on the specifics this was very positive for republicans but i would have expected the following numbers which were more generic to be more in favor of republicans and i don't think they are. let's pop these up. if the election for congress were held today which candidate would you support? 41% democrat, 44% republican, more or less that is a tie. you are a messaging expert. what does the gop need to do with its messaging specifically on the economy in the next 10 months as we lead up to november of 2022? >> i looked at the tab and the wording in question, all things being equal who would you vote for? i don't know if that's the way i phrased it with all respect to the world for the wall street journal, all things aren't equal. people feel inflation, they feel gas prices, they see things happening at the border, they see americans left behind in afghanistan. they see a dangerous situation

with russia and ukraine and the educational system and major crime in american cities, outside american cities for that matter. the messaging for republicans should be we are the common sense party. we don't believe in defunding the police which democrats are saying we are at either, we are refunding the police, we believe parents should have a say in their kids education. it worked in virginia, might as well make that a national issue. we believe americans should be out of afghanistan, we will try to double those efforts the biden administration has not talked about. we will not and trillions in spending that will lead to more inflation and make things worse on the economy. if they say the simple things if you're running for senior class president you understand the messaging wins the day. todd:'s advocate campaign speech. are you running for something?

>> i ran for senior class president against tom daly, a very average candidate who is probably watching right now and i never forgot about it. >> thank you. you have my vote always. janice has the forecast. >> very average. and above average. above average sometimes is good, below-average not so good. let's take a look at it. 26 in chicago, feeling a little more like december. looking at the northern plains the temperatures we didn't feel a couple days ago when it was way above average across the great lakes, teens and 20s and it is cold. let's look.

we have the storm system that moved offshore, the good news is it didn't develop into the nor'easter we anticipated so we are thankful for that. we have the next storm moving into the west and it is going to bring a lot of snow to areas that should have snow this time of year especially for colorado rockies. the next couple days, delighted with this snow forecast, that system will move in towards the central us but there are your temperatures today, 42 new york, 63, kansas city. fox whether you can download on your apps. it is awesome. i've been doing some reporting for them as well, my friend the tunnels to towers, firefighters, went out and got toys from some of the schools the other day, bringing it down to people in the area that was affected by hurricane ida so the kids brought in toys to give to tom

neil: congresswoman aoc and fellow lawmakers demanding senate democrats defied parliamentarians. carley: cheryl casone joins us to explain. >> reporter: progressives want their democratic colleagues to over the parliamentarian and add immigration reform to the president's social spending package, aoc and others joining protesters outside the capitol. it is unlikely they would agree to the override since the package has to go through reconciliation and has no republican support. this is her rallying cry. todd: i've never seen someone with less leverage make more demands than aoc and the squat. and stray making changes. >> reporter: instrument got a

new feature telling teens to take a break if they are scrolling too long. one of ways they are addressing accusations the platform is harmful to kids. >> doing damage especially to young people so to do it before senate hearing it is obvious what they are trying to do. kids are going to do what kids are going to do without parental supervision so they will ignore the warnings to shut down after 20 minutes and not pay attention to this. they are going to use the apps for what they use the apps for. ed: >> reporter: animal testify in front of the senate committee and face tough questions from both republicans and democrats. carley: what is going on with apple? >> reporter: new report says apple ceo tim cook cut a deal with chinese officials and threats apple devices would be disabled in that country. the $275 billion payoff made in 2016 with the money going

towards retail stores, research and development centers, renewable energy projects, china's largest market, apple has not responded to a request for comment. this could be seen as the company making a large investment in china, being questioned right now is what were the motivations behind the decision, was tim cook bowing down to the chinese because china is such a huge market to apple and they have deals with chinese suppliers. maybe not illegal but - carley: hollywood and nba bowing down because of money. thank you for explaining that. making us smarter. democrats like alexandria ocasio cortez and chicago mayor lori lightfoot downplayed and even -- the crime crisis, even the white house is admitting it is concerned. >> organized retail theft is

really happening and should it be to take action to prevent it? >> we don't agree. todd: here to react is fox news contributor and former wisconsin congressman, despite what you heard from jen psaki does it give you confidence the white house is on top of the crime wave tearing through the country right now and they are willing to push back against the squad when it comes to crime? >> if i could look outside and say pigs are flying because i agree with jen psaki for the first time in a long time. common sense, every american has watched video footage of the smash and grabs ravaging the country and we know what is happening. what i don't get is how crazy is aoc to say is not happening, it is not true, don't believe your lying eyes? the problem, when you are a socialist, when you're a communist, the results of

communism are horrible so the policies of aoc are in line with that philosophy, defund the police has given you the opportunity for the smash and grab across the country. she doesn't want to take responsibility so instead of taking responsibility it is not happening. one to say i disagree with aoc. carley: just outside the fox news building the all-american christmas tree was burned down last night. crime happening across every city in the country and what i fail to understand, who has the most impact, who could change this? is it das, if there's a district attorney, would that make it better or is it the city council, the governor, who is most responsible? who would have the greatest impact to changing things? >> voters have the say, this crime is unacceptable.

people who are going to be tough on crime, we saw the week point is prosecutors because you could have the best cops on the street, they bring people in and referrals were charged to the da and nothing happens. which is why george soros has these progressive liberal das, he knows the whole system cringes, hinges upon das charging people. das are important but voters, city councils, i sheriff's, das, judges, i everyone in the system to be tough on crime. if you don't prosecute crime you get more crime and that is happening across the country. todd: a vote for your city council matters, republican slamming city council in new york city for devaluing citizenship with a plan to get 800,000 noncitizens the right to vote in city elections.

listen to the new york gop chair. >> the new york state constitution is pretty explicit. it states every citizen shall be entitled to vote so this radical bill being pushed by this leftist caucus in the city council is unconditionally unconstitutional. neil: 30 seconds. is the end game of the bill to have noncitizens vote in federal and state elections beyond city elections the city councilmembers? >> 100%, the end goal of these radical ideas but why would voters say i will put people in city council that are going to devalue my vote as a citizen. when you have noncitizens voting in city elections, often times they can come in and vote for

president, congress and they said this is not going to happen but i don't see the tightest full with regard to voter integrity and this is one step it takes us away from integrity towards chaos. todd: such a bad idea. bill deblasio questioned this idea. appreciate it. >> thank you so much. time is 41 after the hour. we faced mandates a lockdown constantly told follow the science but science supports natural immunity. todd: will that ever be recognized? doctor marty martincarry, you want to hear what they have to say, don't go anywhere. ♪ superpowers from a spider bite? i could use some help showing the world how liberty mutual customizes their car insurance so they only pay for what they need.

ortagus told us the top three things president biden needed to confront vladimir boudin on. did he listen? did he take her advice? she will update us live? the high-stakes call to break down biden's performance on the world stage. plus on this wednesday lawrence jones, douglas murray, clay travis and mike rowe talking about how center has a dirty job. a busy 3 hours kicks off 13 minutes from right now on the channel you trust for morning news. back to you for another 13 minutes. todd: steve doocy sing that song during breaks all the time. he loves that song. santa claus - carley: the money goes to charity. see you in 13 minutes. as vaccine mandates search at home and overseas many americans

ask why is the white house refusing to acknowledge natural immunity. joining these doctor marty macarry and doctor paul alexander, official from the trump administration. doctor alexander, you say public health officials are misleading the public when it comes to natural immunity. what should people know about this topic? >> in the company of doctor macarry, i admire his experience. the cdc's website, chickenpox, measles, mumps and rubella, why is it different? the reality is there's tremendous societal pressure from vaccine mandates and the truth of the matter is the body of evidence, we can see natural immunity is equal to one would argue superior and person to have recovered should be afforded the same societal

status as one who has gotten vaccinated. carley: do you agree with that? >> i do, good to be with doctor alexander. a lot of doctors recognize natural immunity on the ground but a few doctors in the government are making all our covid policy decisions and they started with the wrong hypothesis that natural immunity was no good, the media sell for it when the public health official said that and now we have a mountain of evidence to the contrary so remember don't expect pharma to talk about natural immunity, the booster or the second dose. there's a lot of factors involved in a strong paternalism in the medical profession we need to keep simple, people can't understand that. >> last week the big news was the, chronic variant and use our international response, travel restrictions, markets reacted. what do you know about the omicron variant now? have you heard of any severe cases?

>> thanks for that question. what we are seeing and what we are reading it looks not lethal, potentially highly transmissible, looking at information that suggests it is less transmissible than delta and this is good news because the reality about it we know right now how to manage covid, how to treat it, this is overreaction but confused people. viruses do what it does. carley: i asked about the omicron variant because earlier this week on monday new york city mayor bill deblasio

implemented a vaccine mandate on all public workers, children as young as 5, out to a restaurant, the child needs to be vaccinated and this was in response to the omicron variant. what you make of the sweeping vaccine mandates? a lot of people don't want to be because they have natural in the unity. >> the policies the most radical dismissal of natural immunity we've ever seen by government official and there will be unintended harm by giving two vaccine doses to young people who already have circulating antibodies, they have natural immunity. we've destroyed so many careers because people have natural immunity but they are not antibodies that the government recognizes which is a real tragedy and is not scientific. >> think about what you said, the government doesn't recognize an antibody is truly wild. thank you for sharing your

perspectives. carley: 51 after the hour, california dealing with smash and grab in total lawlessness so where is governor gavin newsom? you will never believe it and you don't want to miss what tomi lahren has to say. ♪♪ just wouldn't go away. despite all he did to manage his symptoms... day after day. still came the belly pain, discomfort, and bloating, awful feelings he tried not showing. finally with the help of his doctor it came to be, that his symptoms were all signs of ibs-c. and that's why he said yess to adding linzess. linzess is not a laxative. it helps you have more frequent and complete bowel movements, and is proven to help relieve overall abdominal symptoms belly pain, discomfort, and bloating. do not give linzess to children less than two. it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual

sit back and watch poll numbers fall and country fall with it and not step up and do anything me doesn't seem to care. it's not that we don't like kamala or permanent or tweets. that would be one thing. when it comes it duties at our nation especially at our southern border she was named the border czar. she hasn't made an attempt it mike a correction do anything. i would give vice president vice president kamala harris some credit if she looked at the poll numbers and looked at the state of our country i'm going to start getting to work on maybe one of the items i was tacked with i'm going to put my boots on and go down to the southern border. i will spend realtime not a photo op. realtime and energy with border agents and ice agent and get to the road cause of this problem. i would give kamala credit even if she failed. she doesn't want to make a step in that direction. she wants to sit back and make a paycheck and prepare for a

california water. congress back to discussion of book tour, that's taxpayer time that he is on to go promote a book. it might be a noble book. it might be great. that's wonderful. but your stated is your first priority to get to work there. and think about him passing this off to the mayors. he had no problem issuing edicts and up fringements and mandates for his state during covid, he wants to sit back as the state is failing and the culture of lawlessness taking over and sit back and push that off to mayors. is he so smug and gant is he going to flaunt it in everybody's face and worse go on a book tour and promote himself over his state. todd: jay leno had will dyslexia he didn't promote a book over his monologue. you need to be on the ground solving the problems in your state he is off making money which seems why people get into politics. not why they should be. tomi lahren, we appreciate your

time as always. thank you very much. >> great to be with you guys. carley: a tomi tuesdaying. todd: it is tomi tuesday but it is wednesday. carley: great to be with you despite the news of climbing crime across the country. report the news on "fox & friends first." what's going to happen now. todd: i believe in 4 seconds, 3 seconds, fox and friends starts now. carley: bye-bye. >> president biden threatened major economic penalties if russia takes aggressive action against ukraine. >> only real deterrence would be real force i don't think biden will do that. >> vac sin mandate dealt another major reality check. >> when a federal judge in georgia issued nationwide injunction federal contract. >> all of these junction are saying that spind exceeding his authority. >> jussie smollett back on the stand trying to pretend his fake hate crime was real. >> today he complained about his career being in ruins. maybe you should make a movie about
