>> tucker: we are out of time sadly but we will be back tomorrow and every night 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness have the best night with the ones you love and a great champion -- >> think it tight and welcome to "hannity" a fox news alert russian tanks and military and heavy equipment have now officially rolled into eastern ukraine. vladimir putin is underway with this very defeated, frankly defeated joe biden and hunkered out to the podium 90 minutes late to deliver these very uninspiring remarks, take a look. >> if russia goes further with this invasion, we stand to go repaired with sanctions. who in the lord's name do putin think gives him the right to declare new so-called countries

on territory that belong to his neighbors? yesterday, vladimir putin twisted to rewrite history. and going back a century as he waxed eloquently. knowing -- welcome i'm not going to go into details. and no interest to pursue your own. in the year 2022. >> no doubt vladimir putin is shaking in his boots, this is really beyond emulating our country. of course, biden did announce new sanctions today but one top diplomatic moscow does not give a adam schiff about sanctions. the main source of revenue is in the form of the production of oil and gas. china, they buy tremendous amount of this gas and so does western europe, our allies producing it for them and making

money and creating jobs and lowering this 40 year high up inflation. make no mistake, that oil and gas will continue to flow no matter what russia does too ukraine. in fact much of russia, especially germany are dependent on russia oil and gas which is a big part of this problem. last year even america, our country joe biden's first year in office imported a whopping 230 million barrels of oil to russia. putin russia has been begging repeatedly and rejected repeatedly to produce more oil to drive down the price of oil. the price of a gallon of gasoline. we have more than they have. why don't we produce it ourselves, joe? this is madness. this is insanity. many of the world's leaders have been perfectly happy to make putin and russia don't make russia rich again and supply of energy available for all. now in 2018, we will show you an

epic face to face complete beat down with then president donald trump rebuking european leaders, getting right in their face for their dependents on russia for their energy, helping make russia rich again while we paid the bill for nato to protect them from russia. it is a long clip. it is worth watching. while you're watching, ask yourself "do you think joe biden could ever be capable of this level of passionate fighting to what is in our country's best interest?" here is the full exchange. >> it is very sad when germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with russia where you are supposed to be guarding against russia in germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to russia. so we are protecting germany. we are protecting france. we are protecting all of these countries. in the country's go out and make a pipeline deal with russia when

they are paying billion dollars into the government. you against russia but they are paying billions of dollars to russia. i think that is very inappropriate. the former chancellor of germany is ahead of the pipeline the pipeline of gas. so ultimately, germany will have almost 70% of the country controlled by russia with natural gas. you tell me. is that appropriate? i've been complaining about this from the time i got in here. it should have never been allowed to happen. germany is solely controlled by russia. because they will get 60%, 70% of their energy from russia as a new pipeline. you tell me if that is appropriate because i think it is not. and i think nato come i don't think it should have happened. i think we have to talk to germany about it. on top of that, germany is paying a little bit over 1% towards the united states and actual numbers 4.2%.

much larger gdp. so i think that is inappropriate also. we are protecting germany. we are protecting france. we are protecting everybody, yet, we are paying a lot of money to protect. this has been going on for decades and brought up by other presidents. but other presidents never did anything about it because i don't think they understood it or just didn't want to get involved. but i have to bring it up because it is very unfair to her country and very unfair to the taxpayer. i think these countries have to step it up not over a ten-year period. germany is a rich company. they talk about increasing just a tiny bit, by 2030, well, they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem. i don't think it is fair to the united states. so, we have to do something. we are not going to put up with it. we can't put up with it. it is inappropriate. so the dollars being paid to

protecting you against. everybody is talking about it all over the world. we are supposed to be protecting you from russia, but why are you paying billions of dollars to russia for energy? why or countries in nato, mainly germany, having a lost percentage of energy to russia and taking care of by russia? when you look at it, germany is the captive of russia because they supply it and get rid of coal and nuclear. they are getting so much oil and gas from russia. i think it is something that nato has to look at. i think it is very inappropriate. you and i agree it is inappropriate. i don't know what you can do about it now, but it certainly doesn't seem to make sense that they pay billions of dollars to russia and that we have to defend them against russia. >> the united nations, there are some differences and also some

disagreements on the pipeline in germany and one issue the allies at least agree. but despite these differences, you'll have always been able to unite to protect and defend each other. we understand we are stronger together than apart. but i think that is that we are stronger together than apart. >> when a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or you want to get protection. >> when we stand together, but also russia, we are stronger. >> no, we are making russia richard. we are making russia richer. >> even in the cold war, nato allies, disagreements about open

distinct] >> the energy is a much different story. and poland, on except the gas. and you take a look at the countries and they won't accept it because they don't want to be captive to russia. germany, as far as i'm concerned is captive to russia because it's getting so much energy from russia. so we are supposed to protect germany, but they are getting their energy from russia. explained that. and it can't be explained, you know that. >> sean: a distant no-no's right in the face of nato leader. you think joe biden could do that? former secretary of state mike pompeo, you sign that video and more of that exchange later in the show tonight. clearly, trump was absolutely dead on accurate. compare that to joe biden self-proclaimed tough guy, foreign policy experts, toe-to-toe with putin. he promised to stop putin in his tracks. putin could barely form a

sentence as usual and unwilling and unable to respond to any questions about vladimir putin. take a look. >> all right, well, thank you. you've got to let me know when i'm supposed to stop here. sylvia, where is sylvia? how are you, sylvia? >> sean: we have a mumbling, bumbling buffoon as president. tomorrow, joe has zero event scheduled, none whatsoever. that doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the american people. the press secretary jen psaki, she knows who to blame for russians aggression. less blame donald trump. really, it jen psaki, let's take a look. do you have former reaction to

vladimir putin yesterday? >> well him as a matter of policy, we try not to take advice from anyone who praises president putin military strategy, which i believe is what happened there. there was a little bit of a different tactic and a little bit of a different approach and that is why president biden and not his predecessor to rally the world and the global community in taking steps against russians aggression. >> sean: hey, jen psaki this would not happen under president trump. your boss with energy independent policies, joe is humiliating our entire country on the world stage. he is getting rolled by vladimir putin and it is embarrassing and barely string together a sentence. i doubt if even knows what day of the week it is, joe rogan even said biden is basically a cognitive shell his former self. look at this. >> day know he understands how the senate works so does that

not count his experience? it kind of does, but he was actually vice president for eight years, but he's not a good example because he is basically a shell. you know, cognitively. >> you don't see this guy can't talk right anymore? go watch videos of him for 20 years ago. he is a dummy. he's said a lot of leap and he lied about a lot of things but at least he was articulate. >> sean: joe rogan we have shown videos 2008, 2012, 2016, but he notices the obvious cognitive decline. our friends know it and unfortunately our enemies also know it and that includes vladimir putin. here is an important question, where did putin territorial ambitions end? because 2008 putin invaded georgia and set up public government and so-called -- bella rose, right? and under obama in 2014 remember

that is when they annexed crimea. he's rolling into eastern ruane with tfn's crosshairs. what is next based on public remarks he seems pretty hell-bent on restoring the old soviet union. recently, putin added the baltic countries to official list of so-called unfriendly nations. so what will they soon be targets of vladimir putin's territorial ambitions? and if they are, what is joe going to do about it? one article put it this way "baltic citizens where they are next on the menu. the baltic states are members of nato so does that mean the u.s. would be drawn into a war? i hope certainly hope and pray not especially with this guy commander-in-chief but as you can see, this has the potential to spiral way out of control very quickly. weakness should not be an option. this is germany, nato, europe,

western allies to break free on russia oil and gas. the only answer, the only country that has more natural resources, oil, gas, coal, that would be us. the united states. if you really want to beat putin, we will not have a shooting war with putin. we shouldn't have one. we should flood the market with our own energy supply that will help inflation, high paying career jobs, good for national security, and time for europe to get serious about nato. they must pay their fair share. they must take their own defense seriously. they must deter future transgressions from russia. they must stop making russia and putin richer than ever. of course, that would require bold leadership. right now, the world is missing the u.s. president with a backbone. sadly, joe biden is not doing a good job. griffin has been very, very, very articulate and expressing the urgency of this moment. she will join us in a moment,

but a quick flashback. 1980, 42 years ago today, the u.s. men's hockey team, remember they upset heavily favored russian team and ultimately one cold. remember the hit movie "miracle on ice" just to remind you? >> huge underdog. >> 11 seconds, ten seconds, the countdown is going on right now! five seconds left! yes! [cheers and applause] >> sean: 42 years and now one of the most epic sports coals of all time. do you believe in miracles? we need one now.

a few short years later the berlin wall would come crashing down. the cold war would be over. the former soviet union and here we are under biden fighting the same old battles with the same old and we have more from the white house. 20 with the latest from the pentagon camaro and jennifer griffin. jennifer, you have really laid out the significance and seriousness of this moment. this is not a game going on here. >> sean, the fact that it is a miracle on ice video and nice to see finland beat russia for olympic gold, men's hockey team won a few days ago. the sanctions today targeting these two russian banks collectively hold $80 billion in russian assets. meanwhile, new commercial satellite images provided to us show more and more hardware moving towards the border, artillery and attack positions and additional logistics supply in the region and increased

activity and southern belarus and multiple sites russian near the cranium border. a new employment consisting of more than 100 vehicles and dozens of troop tents and shelters have been seen today february 22nd, at a small airfield in southern belarus, less than 25 miles north of the border of ukraine. ukraine foreign minister at the pentagon today where he told bret baier, he was promised more defensive weapons. >> despite this horrific address by the president putin where he basically challenged or rejecte, he didn't challenge but rejected the very existence of the ukrainian state, we can still survive. if we act in a very resolve way and keep mounting pressure on him. >> this scene at the kremlin yesterday shows putin is not backing down. in front of the cameras, he humiliates the spy chief to suggest giving one last chance.

to negotiate. he tapped his fingers impatiently and chuckles. so if it does not happen, you are offering to start the process of negotiations? the russian spy chief looks nervous. putin says "just talk in a straight manner" he interrupts, "just say it." i am supporting the decision about donetsk and donbas joining the federation. putin scoffs. putin, we are not talking about that. the russia duma voted to give putin the legal right to send russian troops outside of russia, sean. >> sean: jennifer griffin, thank you for the report. live on the ground ukraine is lucas. many people have asked this question. knowing that our western european allies and knowing nato has so much at stake in the situation, which is long, drawn-out order, why wasn't more weaponry and to help the ukrainians defend themselves?

i don't want one american blue on the ground and that won't happen. why wasn't there more support in jeopardy within the u.s. >> that is a good question, sean, the officials i've spoke to would like to see american fighter jets doing combat air control over this country about the size of texas. that might cause many vladimir putin to pause and this defense. but those are great questions here on the ground in this russian ukrainian city. the american diplomats evacuating and trickling back into the city earlier tonight, sean. vladimir putin with ground troops into two separatist regions and call them peace. denied reconstructing the old russian empire appeared in ukraine's president zelensky spoke earlier in a new address order resurfaced on standby. he hoped they don't have to be used. officials thinks the eighth invasion is deeper into this country. eight years ago today, sean, putin puppet government fled

ukraine after thousands took to the street. putin blamed the u.s. for organizing what he called a coup and the cultural capital of ukraine. i spoke to those more nervous in recent weeks. the bomb shelter just in case. and i spoke with the mayor and he said the goal is to put the r back together. the concerns on the ground and u.s. officials say they seem more on the front line and again tonight, full-scale invasion, sean. >> sean: lucas tomlinson in ukraine tonight, thank you. according to a new gallup poll only 40% of americans approve biden handling of russia and go lower as russians invasion causes gas prices to shoot even higher through the road. don't expect any -- halted all new federal drilling and annex exploration permits, citing claimant concerns on top of

ending an war and russian xl pipeline, you name it. here with direction former secretary texas governor rick perry. i played that long clip of donald trump basically berating the head of -- no, about the policies of our allies. they don't pay their fair share. we are paying the better part of monies to protect them from russia, and they are making russia rich again. he was right. but never gave up energy independence, and he gave up america being an export of energy. why would he do that? >> well, and the other thing that you haven't mentioned here, sean, is that the united states via the biden policy make him rich again. this issue has always been about energy, who has it, who controls it command that is going to be the story ten years from now and

the left needs to recognize that. and this nirvana that somehow goes back to climate, climate change and let's quit drilling and creating these fossil fuels that we will live in nirvana. the fact is the theory, because dirty energy that will be produced. in china and russia and we will being produced. that is the real story here. and until the american left wakes up and recognizes that for america to be strong energy wise, for us to be able to produce clean burning liquefied gas that we have here and for us to distribute that all over the world, that will go further towards making this climate better than anything that they are talking about today by stopping americans and making russia richer.

>> sean: the claimant change, you know prenew deal socialist colt will never allow putin to go there. it will never happen but in terms of natural resources, do we have the ability to produce enough energy, gas, oil, coal supply and all of the nato countries and western european allies and basically they then would be able to cut off their feeding into putin's coffers and making him rich again? do we have enough supplies here? >> was certainly a substantial amount. we have got 100 years of liquefied natural gas lng underneath the united states. so, in the next decade and certainly we hope that putin is not around for another decade but the fact of the matter is, america was on the verge of making europe clearly independent of russia. the poles were allowing massive amounts of lng. we had a program transplanting

energy corporation with the baltic state. when we were on the verge of being able to really make europe independent. >> sean: you did your job. donald trump did his job, and joe biden destroyed cheap energy about 40 year high inflation and l made russia and the rich again. created all this instability that we are watching unfold. governor secretary, thank you for being with us. when we come back, woke culture, wow, they have gone too far. male counselors identified as nonbinary now allowed to sleep in the same cabinet as fifth-grade girls? tammy bruce, caitlyn jenner way and when we return.

district attorney george gascon has a whopping 97.9% of prosecutors in l.a. county and the d.a. office union, they voted to support the recall of their boss. these efforts have helped prosecutors downgrade serious offenses, lead violent criminals back out on the street. it appears that his office may be caught in yet another lie and that child molester who molested a 10-year-old girl just two weeks before turning 18 and received just two years in juvenile facility. now george gascon's office claimed they didn't know about e explosive jailhouse reporting software and a tubbs has heard gloating about this light sentence. according to one deputy district attorney email evidence points to the office knowing about the recordings before the sentencing even took place. here with direction fox news contributor tammy bruce along with olympic gold medalist,

former california gubernatorial candidate caitlyn jenner. caitlin, let me talk to you. we are talking about fifth-graders here and people, they haven't made a change of any kind, but they identify as male counselors recently graduated from college. do you think that is appropriate? >> you know what, we are living in such a broke world right now. i can't even figure it out. this is a terrible story. you know, the fifth-grade class, they went to this camp and when they came back, they were talking to their parents about gender this and that. the good news is that parents now, especially moms are standing up here and so they called the school to try to find out what was going on. and in this crazy state of california, the california law says it is okay to put staff in

the cabins with what they identify as. i guess these two biological boys identify as they and them, which i still can't quite understand. and the parents found out. and the camp is trying to get around it. were they really in the girls lounges or not? it is absolutely a mess out here in california. and it is a shame because i know so many people in the lgbqt community that are wonderful human beings into it right. it is a shame that this fringe is out there running it honestly for everybody. >> sean: what is your take, tammy crushed mike >> you know the french, and i absolutely agree with caitlyn this is a broke but the french right now e people running california in the camp runners were saying it is california law, which, in fact part of it s here they are just to accept how

someone identifies. it used to be if you are going to have adults alone with children, you might want to do a background check but now we are limited based on someone amply says to us, no matter how they appear, not giving us enough information to know exactly who they are. and they are to allow them to do what they want to effectively. now, this is, of course another big story in this, sean, what the parents are really complaining about is they were never told. they were never told that this was going to happen. they were never told how this was going to be applied at the camp. and they had to hear it from their minor children. and one parent says, "look, what frightens me is what could have happened to my daughter." this is what we all have to be concerned about. it has to be reinforced. this has nothing to do with sexual identity. this has nothing to do with transsexualism. these are biological men, as we

believe and physiologically mail as well, but this has nothing to do with people wanting to live their lives authentically. honest people are not going to move their way into that environment. it is not okay and genuinely authentic person would know that and not ask to be in that position or put themselves there. that is not a normal dynamic. not for anyone. it is certainly not a reflection of the civil rights movement or any civil rights movement they are about being left alone and being allowed to live authentically. it was never about intruding or interfering or being able to be believed effectively on just simply your word about who you are, allowing possible dynamics to occur that could injure children or certainly upset parents or their families. >> sean: powerful commentary, thank you, thank you both, tammy, caitlyn. wow when we come back and

you don't live in a fantasy land and pretend it is okay. do not send american kids to fight an american dollars to support you if you are not prepared to do it. that is what he spoke to the europeans how they entire trip and not just that morning breakfast, as i remember but the entire time we were there. we wanted europe to stand up to defend themselves. we will support you but you have to take the lead. this is your neck of the woods in the first instance. we also understood you have to shut down nord stream 2 so we sanctioned it. you couldn't let germany suffer by being dependent on russia guest. we can see the results now. putin comes in analogs nord stream 2 pipeline to be completed. it is not surprising that we are seeing the results on the ground and southeast ukraine that we consider today. >> sean: be clear that you and president trump prevent of the wave of those nord stream 2. we have heard similar language from putin as it relates to the baltics. in 2014, he annexed crimea. we see the possibility of

potential military action and activities going on in belarus. you tell me. is this going to take all of ukraine or the territory and patients of putin to take over ukraine and where to be go from there? >> sean: sean, it depends on the west. it is not predetermined and not inevitable it will happen because of the good work the president did and it did not happen on our watch but the only thing exchange, vladimir putin didn't change but american leadership changed. whether crimea, but the other place putin is taking little chung dimmick chunks of sovereign nations it will continue to happen if the united states on its back foot. the sanctions i have seen so far, one of the sanctions was already under sanctions, sean. i promise you putin's all that and what he reasoned is green light. these folks will not take this seriously. and this impacts people we will have higher gasoline prices because they shut down air energy and russia will make a fortune of high gas prices.

this is bad for americans all across the country. president biden needs to get back in front of this reestablished deterrence and demand for european partners do exactly the same thing. >> sean: the last time you were on this program, i asked you if you agreed with me that the three areas in the world we have got to watch is russia and ukraine and china and taiwan. you are headed to taiwan. i want to hear more about that and then, obviously, iran. the olympics are over and i would imagine after watching and listening to the rhetoric of china talking about reunification, that is not reunification. that is taking over a sovereign nation. flying there fighter jets over taiwan airspace. the crackdown in hong kong, covid-19, though uighurs being oppressed, et cetera. anything joe was going to be able to do to stop the communist chinese from taking over taiwan? i don't see what he could possibly do.

latoya as well. but they are going to work together because they don't have very many friends in the world. but if we are weak, countries in the middle east we will grow closer to them and southeast asia will not feel like they can push back against china. they don't need our soldiers and what they want is the united states has with them. we are friends and want to engage in commerce we will be alongside you. i don't think they have confidence the united states under president biden will do that. for that reason, this acts between china, iran will continue to grow and make more and more friends the weaker that we are. >> sean: if we can work it out. we would love to have you from taiwan. this is pivotal. the territorial ambitions of chinese is clear as the territorial ambition of russia and vladimir putin. mr. secretary zinke for being with us. when we come back, an announcement that is straight ahead.
