guy. >> [overlapping talking]. >> you are echoing russian talk. >> oh. >> you are. >> [overlapping talking]. >> that's where the debate in this country broke down. you don't say to someone who is speaking with 30 years of experience. >> tucker: sean hannity. >> sean: i will pick it up from there. welcome to "hannity." the u.s. embassy in it ukraine fled to poland. vladimir putin's incursion into ukraine is under way and how vice-president harris humiliated

herself and this country again during her strip to europe. and shocking video from new york city. a 4-year-old boy punched in the face by a repeat violent criminal. how are the no bail laws working out? we are keeping an eye on canada where trudeau is squashing all disent. russia is rolling into the eastern part of the country. putin is calling the incursion a peace keeping mission in support of the russian sepratists. nothing is further from the truth. we should be witnessing the beginning of a prolonged and bloody war. the largest invasion since

hiltler's rein of terror. joe biden made a bold deck claration: vladimir putin doesn't want me to be the nominee because i am the only person who went toe to toe. joe was everything putin did want and more. putin watched as biden abandoned the green card holders in afghanistan in the most shameful way possible. >> day 191. >> sean: 204 days since joe promised he would not abandon americans. they are still trapped behind enemy lines. putin watched as biden refused to hold china accountable for

the spread of covid-19 and the crackdowns in hong conand the wieger community and forced labor campus. and biden lifted all sanctions on russia's nord stream-2 pipeline while ending our pipeline in the u.s. putin announced his intentions on july 12th declairing his lust for ukraine during a long, deranged, rambling paper of his. russian troops and equipment were amassing at ukraine a border for a year and biden failed to turn the screws. he failed to reimpose sanctions until today. they are pathetic with 2 meesely

economic limits. too little and too late. and moscow doesn't give an adam schiff about sanctions. the u.s. won't get into a shooting war with ukraine nor should we. americans will pay a steep financial costs and putin has a good shot at breaking up nato as a result of this and our western european allies because of joe's energy policies rely on that hostile actor for the lifeblood of their economy. the price of a barrel of oil is very high at $94 per barrel. a war between two massive oil production companies in europe price could shoot through the roof. some people expect it to go higher than $150 a barrel.

too bad president biden took a wrecking ball to the u.s. oil and gas production in this country. he inherited energy independence. biden disrupted new exploration and development options and suspended new explorations and it's not a revelation to discover that the biden administration intends to it phase out the u.s. oil and gas industry am it's astonishing to see how quickly it is moving to accomplish this while sending production aboard to russia and the middle east -- and he's been

begging opec and importing russia. under donald trump we were a net export or of oil and gas. now we are at the mercy of russia. opec and middle east and what venezuela next? look at your screen. joe is making russia and the hostile actor putin rich again. in europe the situation is worse. look at this. 32% of germany's gas comes from russia. how tough do you think germany can be relying on putin? america has no business fighting the corrupt country of ukraine and their wars. let's say the u.s. wanted to do this same thing to mexico or

canada, there is a way to fight putin and bring russia to its knees. that would be the mass production in this country of our vast natural resources of oil and gas. you want to defer vladimir putin, flood the market with american energy. cut his profits and wreck russia's economy and supply our european allies with all of their energy needs. joe biden cares more about aoc, new green deal, and climate change and he's checked out. a few hours ago, joe biden said he is out and done and not saying anymore for the day. his ice cream and went night-night. with the latest out of a fast

developing situation, hear coverage has been superb all day jen griffin. this is serious. >> sean, how we got to this point is a long story and pre-dates the biden administration. it include mistakes made by every united states president since the soviet union fell apart. putin has been laying the ground work to retake ukraine for years. we are where we are tonight with europe on the edge of war. a saffron country. -- a sovereign country. the president of finland knows putin well and said something changed in putin who is growing paranoid. he has his sights set on all of ukraine and not just the donbas. putin's speech to the nation a chilling history lesson

outlining why he did not believe that ukraine has the right to exist as a separate nation. on july 12, 2021, putin sent a speech to his armed forces. this was a cold and calculated speech today like those delivered on the eve of world war ii before hitler invaded poland. putin factored in the sanctions that are coming am the president said u.s. troops won't be sent to fight in ukraine. the kind of blitzkrieg invasion that most senior u.s. officials believe is coming will have many unintended consequences and should be of concern to every american. >> sean: jennifer, this is your

wheel house. your overview comments relating to nato and our western european allies that rely on russian, oil accident gas and energy. germany for one -- that puts them in a weakened position to stay united against putin. >> well, putin can wait them out. he has 638 billion dollars of reserves because the price of oil has been so high. angela merkel made a huge mistake getting rid of nuclear power plants in germany and making them more dependent on russian oil and gas. yes, europe has a problem. it depends on russian energy supplies. that will have to change now that people see what putin is capable of. >> sean: thank you. joining us live on the ground in ukraine tonight are own lucas. what is going on? >> we just learned the remaining

american diplomats in this western ukrainian city fled the country. ukraine's president said we are not afraid of anything and anyone. we don't owe anything to anyone. we won't give anything to anyone. but on the ground many ukrainians are afraid and very nervous that a large scale russian invasion of this country. as jen griffin mentioned this is a crisis over 30 years in the making. vladimir putin never accepted that ukraine and russia are different nations. he is starting in eastern ukraine with the 2 sepratists regions in donbas. ukrainians disagree with putin. putin felt threatened. and nato bombed serba , putin

thought moscow could be next. >> sean: amazing he went after lenin and previous leaders of russia in the process. we will watch closely. here with more from the white house peter doocy is with us. i found it weak and baring the minor sanctions on the two providences. i didn't understand the white house saying we are sending 3,000 troops over to europe and putting 8,500 troops on a heightened state of preparedness. what would that mean? absolutely nothing. was that for show? >> not sure if it it was for show, but it was interesting do see president biden who

cancelled a trip to delaware for president's day to stay off camera all day long. he had high level meetings with the secretary of state and the intel chief. the only time we saw him was a tweet they put out where he was signing those very limited sanctions that do not really go as far as they promised. the president who said there were going to be swift and severe consequences is going to announce new sanctions tomorrow on moscow want . the reason we haven't seen him they are trying to get everybody on board. he is trying to get allies to sign on to the statement with him -- something very interesting. as we have been hearing from the president for months that russian aggression like today would be unacceptable. now we are seeing from senior

administration officials what they did today, recognized the breakaway regions as independent of ukraine and moving u.s.ian military equipment in there, they don't care to be a new invasion because there were russians in there anyway. since 2014 -- that's what we are hearing tonight. we are told tomorrow more is coming. >> sean: that's like the 2 a.m. flight with the illegal immigrants called an early morning flight. illegal immigrants don't need to get tested for covid because they won't be here long. those kind of answers? >> something else that is extraordinary from a practical point. we are here at a federal workplace on a federal holiday. for most of the day it felt like it. they had high level meetings here but they didn't mobile all

of the staff. it's not like the things that happened late at night in eastern europe and overnight has the president working much later than usual. he's taken the rest of the days meetings. >> sean: i bet he is sleep. thank you very much. here with reaction author of war by other means, a general in the trump white house. lt. col. keith kellogg and former cia chief dan hoffman. you know vladimir putin and russia and his intentions. some americans are asking: why should we care? ukraine from what i can see has been over a long period of time a corrupt country in their own

way. russia is a hostile regime. here's my fear. looking at american reducing the world supply of energy and oil and our western european allies depend on that hostile regime, now they are punishing pushed into the arms of putin and are unable to stand together with us to do anything that would be effective to push putin back or create a disincentive for him. >> that's one certain. -- concern. we are witnessing russia's efforts to destroy ukraine's independence and alarm bells ought to be ringing in the white house.

they will control the black sea and. there is a huge impact on the european union and the russians won't stop at ukraine. they want to push back at our nato members in the baltic states. this is russia's war on democracy. one thing we know about the united states, we should remember the words of ronald reagan: we are a bright shining city on a hill. if we don't stand up for democracy and that's what ukraine has been striving for, then we don't stand for anything much at all. >> sean: let me ask you this. why is it that this happened in the biden administration administration and not in the trump administration and now it's happening again. do you have a strong belief why that is? >> yes, weakness and opportunity. when you look at this adam

putnam -- administration and the vice-president. it's a constant pattern of weakness. putin is a former kgb officer and saw the decision making done in afghanistan. he is a student of history and looks back on the what biden does as a vice-president. when biden was vice-president he was the guy in the situation room that didn't want to go after bin laden. voted no not to conduct the raid. the same guy that secretary gates said has been wrong on every national security decision in the last 40 years. he sees a partner of weakness. he says this is an opportunity i won't have in 3 years in 2024. i might as well as take my shot now. when president trump was in office, he was resolute and

unpredictable. he kept adverse aries on their back foot. adversaries would say this might happen to me -- right after he came into office. we went into syria with missile after they used nerve gas on civilians. somebody that president obama said was a read line. we hit the airlifted and russia was on that air field. we were protecting americans and keeping the adversaries on their heels. you said we moved our embassy to poland that came out of kyiv. i remember when our embassy was under attack in baghdad. in the situation room, there was president trump who clearly told

us, he said simply we would not lose that embassy am we should have said the same thing in kyiv. our people are staying, period. >> sean: it's amazing how joe biden's economic and energy policies hurt our economy. and inflation. everything we buy in every store costs more to deliver it dollar and costs us a lot more. the cost of heating our homes and cooling in the summer will be higher. now on the foreign policy front. this to me is where putin, give him credit for being clever, sees an opportunity to break down the nato divide.

it seems like he is playing chess and joe is playing checkers and listening to the new green socialists? >> it's to drive a wedge between the united states and our nato allies and that's particularly germany. where this administration failed this is a question of hard power. no surprise here. vladimir putin put those troops on the border back in april of last year and we did nothing about it. even though president zelensky begged the biden administration to do more and mount pre-e..ive

sanctions to get putin to withdraw troops -- we now we can't gauge that. >> sean: you believe his territorial ambitions go way beyond that, right? >> he launched all sorts of attacks against the baltic states and incursions into their air space like what china does to taiwan. china and taiwan they are watching this very, very closely. the united states we would not leave behind a few thousand troops in afghanistan to prevent that country from being a terrorist state. >> sean: president xi will reunify with taiwan knowing that joe biden won't lift a finger. i don't think we should be

involved in a shooting war but i believe economically we could do great damage to putin and should employee woo should be energy independent again. kamala harris embarrassed herself on the world stage. we will show you the tape. tulsi gabbard has strong words and justin trudeau a putin-wanna be in canada going after every trucker that was peacefully protesting. that and more as we continue.

>> sean: another embarrassments for vice-president harris on the world stage with her remarks in munnish in the situation on

ukraine. the vice-president was unprepared and gave another rambling answer falsely claiming that europe has been at peace for 70 years. take a look-- >> we hope there is a diplomatic path out of this moment. the window is still open. although it's narrowing. with the context of a diplomatic path still being open. listen guys, we are talking about the potential for war in europe. let's really take a moment to understand the significance what have we are talking about. it's been over 70 years with peace and security. >> sean: it got worse. harris said sanctions would deter putin but saying putin

already made his mind toin -- invade crane. ukraine. did the biden team have any solutions or answers? here with reaction former hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard with us. on sunday she said she believes sanctions on russia would deter putin and on the other hand talks about when america stands for principles we hold dear we put ourselves out there to incur costs. we are already paying a buck 50 more for gasoline? now $3 more? >> i want to focus on those 2 points. this is embarrassing. it's hard to keep track of all

of those jumble of words. she was sent there to be the voice of the united states as a purely political calculation. you and i both know she has no foreign policy background or understanding. she has no consist of the cost of war nor does she have the temprament. how do you deter someone by punishing them before they do it? it's simple. this is grade school understanding. i will punish you ever but do something, the kid would say i might as well as do it anyway. this is not rocket science and talking about incurring costs. kamala harris and joe biden have said we are going to it incur

a cost. they won't pay the price. they are multi-millionaires. they won't be negatively impacted. who will pay the price? it's hard working americans across the country and people around the world who are already paying the price and will continue to see things worsen. this energy and gas crisis. raising prices. we will see those continue to go up and that squeeze happening across the country and around the world. russia is a major exporter of wheat. we will see those costs encreased around food. russia is a major exporter of nickel -- an element of the electric vehicle city. -- industry. the list goes on and on for the impacts of the american people will have to pay and the impacts on the global economy. they should not say we will

incur costs. they should look at the american people and say you are going to pay the price for this and yet they haven't once justified to the american people how their policies and actions serve our best interests. how they serve our economic interests. they have failed to do that. the american people will be left holding the bag. >> sean: i want to be clear. i do not believe that at this time united states should be involved in this conflict. but joe biden's energy and economic policies created all of this. 4 year high inflation. everything we pay for costs more. add to that this situation where because we reduced the world's supply of energy that, forced our allies into putin's hands

and he controls their destiny. you had an interesting theory if only biden said no ukraine will never be a part of nato you think we might have been able to prevent things that way. explain that part. >> it's really just looking at the world through a very realistic lens. it's understanding the world that we live in and not the world that maybe some people wish existed. that reality is putin made clear all along, their security in his mind is what is at stake here. >> sean: i don't want to interrupt you but putin said ukraine is not a country. he said this going back many, many years. >> i want to stay focussed on the security component. they go way back. they pre-exist this moment we are facing. with regards to u.s. and nato like we would not want russia to put their tanks and missile ones

on our borders. russia said i don't want u.s. and nato making their military on our borders with ukraine. the united states doesn't that want either. nato countries don't want that. say this is something that is common ground. it's unlikely ukraine will become a member of nato. take it off the table and that would deescalate the tensions. >> sean: i might be more suspicious than you in believing this is person for putin and he is taking this as this is russian land and we will take it. how far he goes i don't know. you are speaking at c-pac. congratulations and look forward to watching your speech. >> thanks. >> sean: coming up, justin trudeau's tyranny in canada

this is an assault on freedom of expression and peaceful demonstrations all leveled against these essential workers the heroes of the pandemic. but little justin sees no end in sight for his power grab claiming emergency powers are still needing. offering to little or no details. here at home we are learning about plans for a trucker convoy to travel to washington, d.c. to stand up against draconian vaccine mandates which could shut down the busy capital beltway. here is -- am trying to understand what is going on. they threaten these truckers. he needs emergency powers in

perpetuity. >> this is about people feeling ignored. this trucker convoy is about them saying things that other people said. like parents in northern virginia were staying things that other people were wanting to stay. so when people like justin trudeau and joe biden ignore people and tell people to sit down and shut up, it becomes more about a trucker convoy. if it happens in washington, d.c. it will be interested whether or not the d.c. leadership welcomes the truckers like they did the defund the police crowd. they will probably treat them the way they did this canada. the same way that joe biden ignored the issue about the

keystone pipeline and defending the police. we have a crime crisis now. ignored the border crisis. and now we have a border crisis in this country. that's what this is about. it's about ignoring people. treating people like dirt. when they express their opinions the government says sit down and shut up. the democrats on our side of the border are going to have a steep price to pay this year and in 2024 again. >> sean: laura. 574 riots killing americans in the summer of 2020 and injuring thousands of police officers. billion dollars in property damage and arson and looting. if this convoy that goes to d.c. is peaceful it will be interesting to see if the democrats treat them the same way they treated the summer of

2020 rioters. >> they won't be treated like the 2020 rioters. the interesting thing to me is to see the way that liberals no matter if it's on our side of the border or in canada have used the police as pawns. look at the summer of 2020, that was about defund the police. the police and law enforcement were the enemies. now you fast forward to february of 2022 in canada and justin trudeau who is a tyrant is using them. to silence his political adversaries. these are people he won't even sit down with. you have to feel are if the officers in canada. if they follow the orders from the top from prime time justin trudeau to take these truckers out and get rid of the peaceful

protestors, then they are not allowing them the freedom to protest. if they don't do it, they will get fired. you feel bad for these folks. it's tyranny. what you see happening in canada. when you think about a tyrannical government you think of north korea. this is how it starts. they chip away one by one at your freedoms until you don't realize they are gone. it's a dangerous game in canada. we are all looking forward to seeing the welcome matt rolled out for the trucker convoy in d.c. i am sure nancy pelosi and waiting and ready to go. >> sean: thank you both. you won't believe the next story. a trans-child mole ester pled guilty to assaulting a 10-year-old on tape gloating about her light sentence and the

restaurant restroom. now identifying as female. this is craziness. he wanted to be identify as a female if he goes into the general male population in jail as a child molester that doesn't work out well. this whole thing of him laughing is an outrage. what is happening in this country we have lost our collective minds to let people pretend to be somebody they are not to get away from having the consequences of doing damage to a little girl. god help this country! when this keeps happening. >> sean: leo terrell, i look at this tape and this other story. whacking a little kid like that. >> yeah. the bottom line is that the criminals are laughing at the democrats. it's no coincidence. look at democrats in new york

and california. democratic governors and senators and mayors. this is a pattern and practice of softness on crime. jen psaki claims she doesn't know what soft on crime means. look at california and new york and look who is at running both states. criminals are laughing at democrats because they know democrats are soft on crime. >> sean: it's unbelievable. once this guy gets this light sentence, 2 weeks away from being an adult, doesn't the prosecution have the discretion to charge him as an adult? i would say a 25 year sentence would be right, governor? >> at least that. you're absolutely right the prosecutor does have the

discretion. he was only 2 weeks from being 18. this was an egregious crime. he goes into a restroom and assaults a little 10-year-old girl. i am angry for all of the kids in this country who are being attacked by crazy people like this. then you have crazier people running the prosecutor's office and the governor's office. i hope people wake up and realize you have to vote these people out or we lose the country. >> sean: we have an selection coming up. you fix the east coast and the west coast. a sad story. more "hannity" after this break.
