8:00 pm
the world's stage. we see what america, weak at home economically will do or not be able to do when the rest of the world goes haywire. this is a serious, serious situation unfolding. but, america, we've got to put our own oxygen mask on before we can help others. that's sadly the message tonight. that's it tonight. breaking news on fox. stay here. >> shannon: welcome to extended coverage on fox news at night. i'm shannon bream in in washington.
8:01 pm
continuing the air and ground campaign against ukraine as morning will be dawning on the second day of war in eastern europe. the capital kyiv is under attack at this hour amid growing concern that city could fall within days. we have team coverage at home and abroad tonight. laura ingraham with those in the u.s. the economic impact on your wallet. brett barry providing instant analysis. he's here in the studio. peter doocy tracking the white house response. tomlinson is on the ground with what's happening in western ukraine. we begin tonight in the middle of it all again tonight from
8:02 pm
kyiv. what is the latest there, steve? >> steve: several loud explosions here in kyiv. one major fireball, unconfirmed reports that a ukrainian fire jet was shot out of the sky with a surface-to-air russian missile. what is clear, the debris of the plane set a building on fire. the firefighters sent to build that out. the big question here is at this point seems to be when, not if they'll arrive here in the capital. according to defense officials, they say the forces are now 20 miles away. 20 miles of tanks and armored vehicles outside of the capital. as far as the president goes, he says that russian sabotage teams are already inside the capital. he said that he and his family are targets number one and two. the president of ukraine said his death will be the
8:03 pm
destruction according to russia. he's coming to kill him and kill his family. here's zelensky. >> according to our information, the enemy marked me as the number one target. my family is the number two target. they want to destroy ukraine politically by destroying the head of state. >> so one day of the full scale invasion has been completed. russians not yet in control of the capital here, but advancing on several fronts. more than 25 cities were attacked in 130 ukrainian forces are dead. no word on russian casualties. shannon, back to you. >> thank you for continued reporting on the ground. back to you shortly. thousands of ukrainians are fleeing to the borders of poland and hungary. lucas tomlinson reporting live from lviv tonight. what is the situation where you
8:04 pm
are, lucas? >> lucas: british intelligence said it's unlikely that russia succeeded in carrying out the planned objectives for day one. one other thing in kyiv, a russian air assault on an airfield 20 miles outside of the city was not only thwarted but russian soldiers were annihilated. six helicopters were shot down, some russian soldiers taken prisoner, some taking to the woods. out here, six hours from where steve just reported from, you're right, a lot of ukrainians have fled the capital. the u.n. said 100,000 have taken to the streets, the highways overcrowded causing massive congestion. many people not just trying to come out here to western ukraine, what some are calling the safe zone, after a number of air strikes here, some are fleeing to the polish border as well. phase one began with 160 short rank blitz and cruise missiles. fired at largely military targets across the country. tonight ukrainian president
8:05 pm
zelensky said the russians have sent a hit squad to try to kill him. the interior minister has ordered 10,000 rifles distributed to citizens to defend the capital. this crisis goes back 30 years to the fall of the soviet union. it ended in a hunting lodge in belarus in the fall of the soviet union. there was not typewriter or computer reported, but it was a handwritten agreement by the leaders of ussr, belarus, and ukraine. overnight, russia shrunk to the smallest size. putin wants to put russia back together. in an essay, he called the russians and ukraine one people. they didn't like crew yanian khrushchev gave ukraine back in 1954. one of the reasons he annexed it. it's why 58 countries abstained from condemning russia. not enough people are standing up to russia. putin doesn't want nato to
8:06 pm
expand the borders. in 1989, nato expended the warsaw, and the czech republic. he does not see this alliance as defensive. putin has gone through five u.s. presidents, biden being the fifth. so far, no sign of russian forces here in lviv in western ukraine. but a number of the citizens we spoke to are concerned and worried about what comes next. long lines at atm machines and grocery stores and tonight most of the restaurants we found in the city were closed when a few days ago people were not expecting this large-scale russian invasion. people seemed happy. western ukraine felt like western europe. tonight, it's on a war footing. >> shannon: a look at the developments. a special report anchor and executive editor, bret barry.
8:07 pm
bier. >> brett: where ukraine has been in recent hours. today has been a busy day of air strikes. more than 200 cruise missile strikes or strikes from russian aircraft taking out command and control nodes and also communications. and this setting the ground work for russian forces coming in from three different sides, three different entry points. one is crimea. russia took that in 2014. some forces coming up that way. another number of forces coming up this way from the donbask. forces coming in there. a lot of resistance from the ukrainian forces for this area. the third main entry point came from here, belarus. remember, russia had training exercises in belarus. they never took the forces out. and then they entered across this borderline.
8:08 pm
this particular area was heavy fighting, hours and hours of fighting in one area which is chernobyl. the chir noble power plant. that's the plant that had the sdenth back in the '80s. largely cleaned up. a concern about nuclear material in that area. there was heavy fighting in that area. the russians took control of that area today. and as a launching point to get troops down to kyiv, the capital city. they tried, we're told, to take this gosumel air base. this is about 20 miles north and west of kyiv in the suburbs. not a long drive between these two. it's also called the antinov airport. the russians were claiming they took it over and they controlled it and it would be moving forces from chernobyl to kyiv. however, the ukrainians fought back. and three hours of fighting were
8:09 pm
described by people on the ground there. i had the foreign minister on the show today, on "special report" talking about this fight for this air base. he's actually going back into kyiv. he was in a truck, describing, talking to commanders as they were trying to take this air base back. take a listen. >> it was across to the russian paratroopers to land there, repelled by the ukrainian forces. the second attempt, they brought in more helicopters and paratroopers who are successful. then they thought they took it under control. this is an example even if we lose to the ground, even if we lose the battlefield, doesn't mean we abandon it. we mobilize forces and try to win it back. that's how this war will continue. >> the experts look at the numbers, they're facing a force against force.
8:10 pm
they say it's a lost cause. what do you say? are you saying are you going to keep fighting even if it becomes an insurgency and a russian take of? >> those people who say it's a lost cause doesn't know ukrainians. >> they don't know ukrainians. >> we will fight, this is our land, these are our people. >> ukrainian foreign minister dimitriyo, headed back in to be a cabinet official in kyiv with his president, president zelensky. they say, the ukrainians do, that they retook this air base and pushed the russians out. we can't confirm that at this hour. but that heavy fighting really continued throughout the day. just to give you another perspective on the neighborhood here. these are the nato countries, estonia, latvia,
8:11 pm
lithuania, poland, germany, romania, bulgaria. and the flags -- nato and the u.s. these are various levels of u.s. forces and nato troops in these countries. when you hear president biden talking about shoring up the eastern flank, this is what we're talking about here. poland in particular. but today the president activated and soon to be deployed 7,000 troops from germany. this is the neighborhood. the question is whether putin over time will be slowed here, if he's going to take over kyiv. if he's going to install his own person, leader, who is loyal to him and doesn't stop in ukraine. the foreign minister from ukraine says they're not done fighting. and that they need support. this is a dangerous time. and an interesting neighborhood. shannon, send it back to you.
8:12 pm
>> shannon: we will be back with you shortly. president biden consulted with the g-7 leaders thursday morning. we talked about that. that's part of what he wanted to do before addressing the american people which he did in the afternoon, unveiling additional, quote, devastating sanctions against russia. but he's trying to manage americans' expectations about what that might mean for us. peter doocy has that part of the story tonight. good evening, peter. >> competer doocy: we're told that the latest update behind closed door are details of a proposal to start training some ukrainian fighters remotely. we don't know what that looks like. we do know that president biden said under no circumstances will american troops go to ukraine to fight russians. now the plan to try to deter russians are entirely based around sanctions. >> president biden: america stands up to bullies.
8:13 pm
>> stands up with sanctions. >> president biden: this will cost the american economy immediately and over time. >> peter doocy: we won't feel that for a while. >> president biden: it's not going to be i feel the sanctions going to stand down. >> but it's the whites advertised. >> peter doocy: it comes after a meeting of the g7. >> we will eliminate the ability to do business in euros, pounds, and yep to be part of the global economy. >> peter doocy: they're not going as far as they can as they're not kicking russia out of the swift financial system holding back sanctions to see what putin is going to do next. >> is he threatening a nuclear strike? >> president biden: i have no idea. >> peter doocy: putin is a villain. >> biden: heel be a pariah on the international stage. >> they try to iron out rules of
8:14 pm
the road. >> biden: he's bright, tough, and as they say when i used to play ball, a worthy adversary. >> biden accuses putin for creating a false pretense for war. >> biden: it was never about security, it was about naked aggression. >> to redraw the map of europe. did you underestimate putin and did you describe it the way you did in the summer as a worthy adversary? >> biden: at the time, i said he was an adversary, i said i was worried. i didn't the underestimate him. he wants to re-establish the former soviet union. that's what this is about. >> no u.s. troops going to ukraine, but they are being placed strategically in nato partners, ordering ukraine. so, nato is going to have a virtual meeting tomorrow. nothing on president biden's
8:15 pm
schedule, though, at least not yet. shannon? >> shannon: other news may be cooking there tonight. peter, thank you very much. get some expert analysis. the u.s. and the allies are responding to the impact of the new sanctions, what they might be on russia, and, perhaps actions we should be taking. joined by national security advisor to president trump robert o'brien. good to see you. great to see you. >> great to be here. thank you. >> shannon: "the wall street journal" commentary piece, the headline how to beat putin with natural gas. in 1948, merge supplies broke the strangle hold on berlin. today american energy can end berlin's dependence on russia, if plane loads of food can get the better of stalin, boat loads of cash can get the better of putin. how do we convince others to wean themselves off on that dependence on russia? >> there are three things the president should do immediately with respect to american energy. we need to get back to energy
8:16 pm
independence. number one, he has to announce that the keystone pipeline is back in business. let's get that finished. call it the biden build back better pipeline, take credit for the jobs, for doing it, take credit for the fact that the fuel that comes in clean refineries and not dirty chinese refineries, take a win. it's good for america. number two, we have to get the leases that announced that would renew the leases for drilling on federal land. send a message, take some time for the drilling to take place. send the message that we're back in business for oil drilling on federal lands, not on yellowstone and national parks, but in places that it would be safe, efficient, and clean: number three, he ought to fly to texas and talk to our friends in the oil and gas industry there. there's a lot of capacity we don't have already, we don't need leases and pipelines but we need them to drill again. i asked it's their patriotic duty to start drilling and pumping the oil and gas out on
8:17 pm
the oil reserves that we have. and those would be a few things that would immediately stabilize the markets and send a message to the europeans. but it would also -- the $100 a barrel oil is bad for american consumers but putting a fortune in putin's pocket. he's making more on the rising oil price than sanctions. double whammy consumers and hurting putin. >> shannon: everything you outlined is antithetical to what this president has done so far. on the off chance they're watching tonight, how would you convince him this is in his best interest or in america's best interest to make those moves? >> president biden is a patriot. he has to go back to the scranton joe, looking out for the american man and woman in this country. we have to make that a priority. he's been taken hoes tang by the
8:18 pm
progressives, the squad, the green energy folks. we all want green energy. it will take time to get there. it's the first time since 1938 a european country being taken by conquest by it's neighbor. get the oil and gas going, get the bridge. let's make it a bipartisan win for the american people. that's something that joe biden would be -- president biden would be well thought of for doing. >> another piece. different one in "wall street journal." an opinion piece, rogue russia tries to reset the world order. glitch the incompatibility of its goals with american interest and it's demonstrated ability to punch above the economic weight, russia poses waste that the u.s. can no longer ignore. if the response is purposeful, creative, and wise, the campaign against the world order will fail. you've seen what the administration has laid out by way of sanctions so far, the bolstering of the allies, what could fit that bill?
8:19 pm
creative, purposeful, and wise to turn this around? >> we have to come out with another tranche of sanctions and that should happen in the next two or three days especially if the russians move on kyiv or attempt to assassinate zelensky and his family. that means a full cutoff of technology exports, not just the half measure taken today. the russians have to be taken off of the swift system. they have to decouple them from the western economic system. the sanctions in the ole guardfes have to be harder. it has to be every russian oligarch that has a yacht in st. bart's. that's got to be cleaned up in the trading where the energy legislation. let them litigate to try to get their stuff back. we need to have a strong tranche of sanctions. lastly, we need finland -- finland was threatened by vladimir putin in his speech. we need fin lapd and sweden, neutral countries but have great militaries, they're both
8:20 pm
thinking of joining nato. president biden should put that european diplomatic skill he talked about to work in helsinki and stockholm and get finland and sweden in nato immediately. that would be a stronger nato. putin is trying to weaken nato by taking out ukraine. so, those are things that president bide condition do that would be creative and make a lot of headway on this -- a real crisis that we're facing. >> i want to put up one of the maps that bret walked us through. these are the maps that show the nato companies with troops over there as well. we refer to sweden being persuaded and being accepted to join this group. but talk about the baltics there too, just north of belarus. quickly, what are your thoughts about suggestions that putin may have his eyes on that as well? >> well, he does. he says it in a speech. he's going to be the next target after ukraine. so far, it's an easy run on it because the sanctions haven't
8:21 pm
been devastating on him yet. hopefully it will be. so he will turn his attention to the baltics. what we need to do, i wrote about this with alex fray in "the wall street journal," we need to move our troops out of germany. they ear not a front line state. they haven't democrat stated leadership in this crisis. they're close with the russians. they watered down the sanctions today is what i'm hearing. what we need to do is move the troops out of germany, the 50,000 troops in the rear, we need to move them in the front and put them in the baltics, poland, and romania. leave the airmen in the hospitals in germany but put the troops out to the front and put a ring of steel around vladimir putin of american troops better quipped than he is, better fighting experience, and i don't think he would ever dare assault an a country where you've got the third armors cav or the 101st airborne with all of the equipment and tact ins and the training that they have. so, we need to get the troops out of germany and move them out
8:22 pm
to the front line and let vladimir putin know this is it, no more. >> shannon: robert o'brien, thank you for your time. >> great to be with you, shannon. >> shannon: bring brett beyer in. we heard what happens where the baltics. that triggers an article in nato. that's a different ball game. >> brett: i was talking to senator mark warner, the chair of the intelligence committee today. he was referencing the fact that no only is it a russian troop maneuver to those countries, but it's also cyber security. it's a sign attack that goes into poland and takes out something inside of poland. that really does trigger an attack on a nato country. but it's in cyber. and thereby we would be compelled to act on poland in a cyber environment. the whole thing has the potential to be a tinderbox and powder keg.
8:23 pm
that's why everybody is tiptoeing around here. the biden administration saying these sanctions are much different today. you heard from o'brien, some in europe are having a tough time with some elements of them that they may be affected by or they may feel like russia somehow reacts very negatively to and points to them. >> shannon: in the federalist, zelensky talks about the fact that these are tough people, they're going to stand and fight for the country. the federalist piece, putin decided to oust the government. every day zelensky remains in office is another day that adds to ukrainian national confidence to resist. and another day that looks to miscalculated if the zelensky government survived and maintains the people, the 22-year rein will be in jeopardy. that's a big if.
8:24 pm
you think that the russians could have miscalculated the ability of the ukrainians to hold on. the fact that zelensky is still there, still calling the shots has to give confidence to his people. >> i heard to the house and senate members who were briefed by the administration who essentially heard that the russians have been heard saying that they were surprised by some of the pushback by the ukrainian forces. and some of the fights that we talked about there, the three hours along the border. some of it in the east, some of it in the west. you heard the foreign minister, some of that. but he also said there were many cases in the case of the history of the world where the smaller nation, the smaller nation will prevail over a bigger one because it was fighting on the right side of history. he said every hour, every day, counts. this is the foreign administrator heading back to kyiv there. that is right. every hour, every day counts. if they get the weapons, if they get the support. and they hang on, the longer they do, the more they're a
8:25 pm
thorn in the side of russia. also being briefed up on capitol hill is this thing that peter talked about and the ability to fund what could be an insurgency, a kind porcupine, it's tough to swallow getting rid of the ukrainian government. that's a possibility. that's been talked about up on capitol hill. the tough part is getting the ammunition and the material in if the russians are controlling the air space, currently. >> shannon: what did you make of the speech in the content, the tone. the entire world is watching. we're a key player on the world stage and when it comes to the western world. >> brett: it was a biden speech. no extra flare to it. he delivered it much like he has. they have different thoughts about what this is going to do, the next tier of sanctions. he did take some questions, rare for the president in recent
8:26 pm
appearances. and seemed confident this was speaking on one voice from g-7 nations. i think there are some questions that he couldn't answer. why we are not sanctioning putin directly. why we chose not to take them off of swift and with the european nations. and in that instance, kind of moved on. >> you talked to senate warner about that too, about the swift situation and whether that might be coming in the days ahead. >> he suggested it's still on the table and that it still may be coming and that could be a -- could be another hammer that's dropped. but i think there are a lot of people, both democrats and republicans, we should point out that this is senator menendez, this is others who have said, let's do the tough stuff right now to try to adjust what's happening on the ground. >> shannon: and there's been a lot of conversation too, now, it's going to be dawn again there soon. as dawn came yesterday as we were covering it last night, it appeared to people, the people on the ground, we have friends,
8:27 pm
family, contacts there, people did not believe on the ground because they've been urged to be calm that it was going to be wide spread and it was going to be as oppressive as it was from the beginning. >> brett: there's some fault in the ukrainian government there, president zelensky was giving speeches saying -- almost joking about it, saying it's not going to happen. or projecting that, trying to project calm. but in doing so, almost projected like this is never going to happen. and that was some of the -- that was some of the messages coming from the west. however, give credit to president biden and the administration, putting out that intel, talking what about they thought was going to happen, where it was going to happen. did inform people about what putin was doing. >> shannon: he did. it that is an excellent point. by exposing the intel and talking to the public repeatedly, they were sounding the alarm. they were conflicting, obviously, with leadership in ukraine and here around around the world adds well.
8:28 pm
>> brett: i don't do the board like bill hemmer. >> shannon: i loved it. thank you, hope you do some more. >> brett: of course. >> shannon: announcing additional sanctions against russia, president biden warned americans it would lead to economic pain for us in the near term at the pump and elsewhere, part of the calculations that the nation has to make for an energy producing giant for invading their sovereign neighbor. good evening, dan. >> the pain at the pump that americans are feeling is likely to get worse as it was a volatile day for the stock markets and the energy sector, the average price for a gallon of gas in the u.s. $3.54, 88 cents higher than one year ago according to triple a. it could go well over $4 a gallon soon. it's there on the west coast with california, hawaii, and oregon over $4 and washington state and nevada just below.
8:29 pm
russia produces 10% of the world's oil and provides eurowith 1/3 of the natural gas, close to 40%. after the invasion of ukraine, oil futures hit $1505 a barrel. the highest since 2014 when russia invaded crimea. a wild ride on wall street, a huge selloff, then coming back later in the day. the s&p 500 was down 2.5% with all of the companies in the red. it ended up finishing 63 points higher for a 1.5% gain. the swing was bigger on the tech heavy nasdaq composite, that went 3% down to close 3.3% higher. the turnaround happened after president biden announced the sanctions against russia, because those sanctions will not disrupt oil and gas markets. in fact, biden made it clear saying, quote, our sanctions package is specifically designed to allow energy payments to continue. here's charles payne of fox business on special report
8:30 pm
earlier. >> because the sanctions were not as biting as some thought they could be, we saw major reversals across the board. >> highly unlikely this volatility will last a long time, biden said. many conservatives called on biden to reverse the oil policy to produce more oil and natural gas here in the u.s., shannon? >> shannon: let's discuss the economic and energy concerns that americans are feeling tonight that can feel in the weeks, possibly months to come. with former advisor to president trump, steve moore. great to see you tonight, steve. >> steve moore: hi, shannon. >> shannon: talking to brett about his discussion with senator warner about the fact that this swift situation is out there. a lot of them believe that the president should have gone farther. "the wall street journal" editorial board is one of them. that's not targeting the access to the swift financial system is a blunder.
8:31 pm
export controls for components is necessary. nordstream 2 should be killed with no chance of revival. what do you make of today? >> what a day it was today, shannon. you heard the report from the stock market. i feel queasy from watching the market go way down and come back. i don't think i've seen days quite like this before. so, i think the markets are jittery. and you asked about these responses by biden. i think some of the sanctions are justified. what i was disappointed in, shannon, is i would have liked to have seen joe biden say something about american energy policy and say, look, maybe i made a mistake in not going ahead with the keystone xl pipeline. and also, some of the restrictions that he's put on american output of american oil and gas, we have more oil and gas than russia does. yet they're producing more of it today than we are.
8:32 pm
soo, if you want to hurt russia financially in the medium and long term, we need to produce more oil and gas here at home. but, in terms of whether the russians should be involved in the international financial market, that's an open question right now. look, russia is not a major player in the global financial system. this is based very much like a third world country with one asset. that's oil and gas. that's about 40% of it's economy. if we can find a way to -- to neutralize the power that it has over europe with respect to providing energy to europe, i think that russia would be severely weakened. >> a big conversation here about what to do as gas prices are relaxing gas taxes, releasing the strategic petroleum reserve. what can americans do you think in your best educated guess expect at the pump, at the grocery, as we watch this play out.
8:33 pm
>> well, i agree with the assess that you heard. i think we're looking at $4.50 a gallon gasoline depending on the state that you live in. the price of oil went to $100 a barrel today. that's the equivalent in many states to $4.50. in california or new york, you were already paying that much. you're going to pay a premium for this. incidentally, that's a taxonomy the american consumer when the gasoline price goes up. it hurts lower income folks. i think we better brace ourselves for many months of this. and when you ask what we should do, i think it's pretty clear, and i think americans are pretty united, that we should be producing more of the energy here at home. let's not forget, a year ago, last january, the united states was actually a net ex-ex-porter of oil and gas. now we actually, believe it or not, we're importing natural gas from russia. it doesn't make sense from a strategic or economic point of view. >> shannon: brand new fox
8:34 pm
polling out tonight showing that people are concerned about the economy. 24% say it's excellent or good. 76% say it's fair to poor. we've been told by the white house to buckle up. we will. thank you for your expertise. >> thanks, have a good night. >> shannon: sun is coming up in ukraine. we want to head back live to what's happening there. reporting from kyiv. good morning to you, steve. >> steve: good morning, shannon. a few explosions in the past few minutes in off to the west. sounds like tank fire can't confirm that. the real question is when will the main russian forces get here from the capital? the defense official there is within 20 miles. the goal seems to be, the stated goal has been to come in here, take out the leadership, the ukrainian leadership. the president said he's enemy number one and he expects to be capture or killed if they come in and do that. we've seen 25 cities hit today,
8:35 pm
mostly by missile attacks and 100,000 refugees. people getting on the highway. sometimes waiting 10 hours at the border with poland to getting out quickly as possible. shannon? >> shannon: thank you. people with ukrainian connections here in the u.s., they're protesting the russian invasion. they're voicing their objections to the unprovoked russian attacks. they're supporting their families and neighbors there in ukraine. n't laura ingle shows us tonight from new york. good evening. >> laura: in cities across the u.s. and around the globe, protesters are taking to the streets to denounce the invasion of ukraine, also, showing solidarity for those under attack. in in the united states, protesters rallied in los
8:36 pm
angeles, washington, d.c., and denver. here in new york, the crowd taking the message all the way to the russian federation of the united nations. many are feeling a world away as they watch their homeland fall into the hands of russian invaders. >> i'm ukrainian. i need to be with my people. i can't stay at home and do nothing. i try to call my family in ukraine. it's impossible. those people are being cut off from the internet. i just couldn't take it staying at home. >> some hope the show of support for ukraine will go beyond protests, calling on world leaders to put any procrastinations aside and act now. >> ukrainian, ukrainian people, not only those who are fighting on the front lines, civilians, mothers, children, seniors are being killed as we speak. so, every minute of your procrastination should be on your conscious.
8:37 pm
>> similar season cities around the globe in places like madrid, paris, and london, some calling on the u.s. and other nations to bring financial and tactical support to demand putin be held responsible for violating international law. >> ignoring international laws. my friends, they're fighting as ukrainian troops and everything. they're dying for no reason. >> in cities across russia, some are standing up against their own actions, some paying the price for the agreement, some are beaten and arrested including journalists covering the protests. lake tonight, kathy hochul saying the state of new york is preparing to welcome ukrainian
8:38 pm
refugees, many of the ukrainian churches like the one you see here on long island expected to play a role. shannon? >> shannon: thank you very much. we have news on the other front, our crack supreme court producer and working on this -- able to confirm with two sources, the president has made his pick for the supreme court. we don't have a name. we have been talking about the three finalists we are pretty sure are the ones in the mix, could get an announcement as soon as tomorrow. it would be a distraction and a positive thing in the white house when they need a bit of positive news. >> brett: you think it came down to the ji, jackson, and. >> shannon: california justice, leander cooper. >> brett: this falls to something right before the state of the union address which was tuesday. didn't know when that was going to happen. but could happen as soon as tomorrow. >> yeah, in the midst of everything else going on, we know we needed to get that name
8:39 pm
out there before the state of the union. i'm sure it will be one of the highlights that the administration will say, look at this positive thing that we've done at a time they need positive news. for now, we're very much embroiled in what's going on in russia and ukraine. zelensky is officially target no. 1. there have been conversations about, questions about does the u.s. help him and hi family leave? he sounds steadfast as do other members there. we had others there last night. they don't want to go anywhere. >> there were efforts to get him out, to get him to poland, to get him at least to the western part of ukraine. they just kind of fell apart. zelensky said they wanted to stay in kyiv. and they said his cabinet should come with him which is why the minister was doing the interview going back in. he was in the u.s., washington, new york, he flew back. but the air was controlled. he could not get in by air. and he drove in to kyiv tonight.
8:40 pm
so, i think you're going to see increased focus on that. where the government is and how long they can stay in power. >> shannon: we have polling now. you have it on special report. there are so many things how the president is doing on so many different topics. this one poll, fox news asked, president bide season a strong leader. these numbers have flipped. 31%. 61%, no. you've got challenges domestically, on the world stage too. but those numbers are not a vote of confidence for the president. >> no, you head to the state of the union and other poll numbers that we look at are pretty much underwater on every single issue. coronavirus, climate change, 44%, 50%. that's largely democrats upset that something bigger hasn't happened. foreign policy, 38-58 uniting the country, upside down, economy, 37%.
8:41 pm
crime, immigration, he's at the worst, 34% approve, 62% disapprove. that's the environment that he heads to tuesday. so, a needed supreme court nominee announcement is probably what the white house is ordering. >> that might be a positive. the polling asked how is the president on russia? is he tough enough? not tough enough? two sets of numbers here, i don't know if we have it available. for president biden said not tough enough, too tough, and about right. it you can see looking four years back on president trump, very similar breakdown in numbers. but, right now, you know, joe bide season the one that's having to deal with this very real disaster playing out on the world stage. >> right, you can look at the trump numbers through the prism of what president trump is dealing with as far as a russia investigation and coverage about russia every single day. but, we are where we are in the ukraine. and right now, those attacks it
8:42 pm
seems are getting closer to the capital city. mentioned 20 minutes outside, a significant group of recognized troops. >> and dawn is coming there. we'll continue to check back on the ground. more live reports on the ground. analysis of the russia-ukraine conflict continues. but my body was telling a different story. i felt all people saw were my uncontrolled movements. some mental health meds can cause tardive dyskinesia, or td, and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. ingrezza is a prescription medicine to treat adults with td movements in the face and body. it's the only treatment for td that's one pill, once-daily, with or without food. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. don't take ingrezza if you're allergic to any of its ingredients. ingrezza may cause serious side effects, including sleepiness.
8:43 pm
don't drive, operate heavy machinery, or do other dangerous activities until you know how ingrezza affects you. other serious side effects include potential heart rhythm problems and abnormal movements. it's nice people focus more on me. ask your doctor about ingrezza, #1 prescribed for td. learn how you could pay as little as zero dollars at ingrezza.com.

>> shannon: welcome back to extended coverage on fox news at night. other top stories from ashley stro myer. good evening, ashley. >> some of the headlines right now. president biden has made a decision on the pick for the supreme court, indicating it will be the first black woman to serve on the nation's highest court. he could reveal the nominee as soon as friday, that's unclear due to the situation in ukraine. it's been two years since biden made his pledge to pick the first black woman to sit on the court. and kamala harris is postponing a trip to louisiana that was set for friday. the white house saying the trip lo be rescheduled for a later date. harris would have discussed the investment in the high-speed internet through the infrastructure act that included $65 million to extend broadband. now, three former minneapolis police officers were found guilty of violating the civil
8:47 pm
rights of george floyd by failing to give him medical aid. the jury started deliberations after a month long trial. each faced up to a life in prison. although that severe punishment is unlikely. the three are set to go to trial on june on state charges of aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter. one person is dead and six are hurt after an elderly woman tried to parallel park at a south beach restaurant's outdoor dining area. she accelerated instead, running into the cafe area of the restaurant. she hit several tables, sending several people to the hospital where one person died, the other six victims' conditions are unknown at this time. shannon, back to you. >> ashley, we'll continue to check in. thank you very much. president biden said thursday morning that they will present a united front on sanctions against russia. what kind of impact can we expect the penalties to have in the next step? we'll discuss with the house foreign affairs.
8:48 pm
mark green, fred flight, and former chairman of the house oversight committee, fox news contributor, welcome back to all of you. >> thanks. >> good to be here. >> gop senator said this today after the sanctions announcement by the president. and was -- what was especially concerned about not sanctioning putin directly said the biden industry continues to misread the moment if we're not doing everything possible, we're not doing enough. congressman? >> absolutely. the failure to put sanctions on vladimir putin boggles the mind. this is a murderous villain killing innocent civilians. i saw a video clip sent to me from a friend, a mother holding her child as a russian missile is fired into her home. that's vladimir putin. world, meet vladimir putin. and our president wants to sanction a few oligarchs?
8:49 pm
it's ridiculous. we have to hit hard with a big stick. and this president is not. >> he tweeted this today. he said america stands up to bullies. he says in this his speech. we stand up for freedom. that's who we are. fred, did he adequately communicate that not only in his words, but in action in what we've done thus far in response? >> well, i don't think so. look, the president drew a red line, putin crossed it. the president said it would be the toughest sanctions ever if putin crossed the line. these aren't. and i think the thrift sanctions is the reason why they're really weak. remember when donald trump implemented sanctions against iran, swift was in there and in there over the objections of the europeans who department want these in there. the europeans did not want them against russia. i think joe biden has to answer why donald trump's sanctions against iran were so much stronger than biden's sanctions
8:50 pm
against russia, even though russia invaded a sovereign state and killed citizens of this state? i think that's an open question. >> shannon: a "wall street journal" opinion piece by brian o'brien, one of the authors, he was on earlier. he said beijing is watching how washington responds to moscow as it gauges what to do next. russia needs to face real consequences for deterrence to work. so, jason, what do you make of the rest of the world watching? have we done enough to scare them away from their ambitions that would likely be not so welcome on the international stage? >> i think it was a stunning admission by president biden to suggest that sanctions were never part of a deterrent. this reminds me of barack obama dealing with the red line he dealt with in syria. it was ant serious response. it's what happened when russia went to crimea, again, sanctions, but not a serious
8:51 pm
response. and consequently, putin continues to do what he did in ga. he did it in ukraine. now he's doing it again in ukraine. didn't respond seriously in syria. so what do you think the lesson is from china? they can withstand whatever the president is going to throw at him. he's not willing, as lindsay graham said, he's not willing to make it painful for the russian people and he's probably not willing to make it painful for china either. >> shannon: now what do we do? what does poland do? what do the other countries do as people are fleeing ukraine. again, many of them thinking this is going to happen. they have to have somewhere to go, they're fleeing safety, trying to flee to the border. what only dwags do they have? ukraine is not part of the nato alliance? >> well, i think we have a humanitarian obligation to take care of these refugees. i know that we're going to be
8:52 pm
able to do that. but if we're going to talk about the most important thing we have to do, we have to demonstrate how resolute we are about nato, defending nato, showing that it is indeed a serious and important alliance. and making it clear that the red line of putin crossing to invade nato is not like the fake red line that biden set for ukraine if putin enters nato territory, russian troops, there will be a robust response. >> shannon: fox polling on russia, we have more on that dealing with russia and ukraine. the question was, does what happens in return sha and ukraine in that conflict matter in the u.s.? up 6% of the respondents said yes, 21% said no. what was the u.s. interest there? and why that conflict does or does not matter to us? the country is about three quarters believe it does. >> you look at last century, shannon. twice the united states waited
8:53 pm
too long to ask as a hedge mon to control the parts of europe. we wound up paying with hundreds of thousands of american lives. when there's an hegemon on europe, it spills over to the world. you look at economic impact to the united states. this will only validate a modis operandi. he will have them complain about that country they're in like hitler did in czechoslovakia and then heel come in and liberate that country. this is an modis operandi and we're validating it by our inaction. >> shannon: there's a lot made between that chancellor in germany and our president and whether they'll stand strong in the nordstream 2. they have a mix in that region? >> very frustrating that the -- the approach that they have taken.
8:54 pm
i think donald trump had this right. look, it is the obligation and duty of the united states, i think, to be energy independent and get us back to the point where we were under donald trump where we export the energy partners. if the nato partners had an alternative to get energy from the united states, i think they would do that. good paying jobs here in america. exporting product that is cleaner than what russia is able to provide. and, remember, every time the cost of a barrel of gas goes up, it enriches the iranians and the russians. he's making more money as robert o'brien told you, he's making more money, vladimir putin, because of the sanctions, because the price of gas goes up, then anything that these sanctions would have done. >> you know, we have much more to discuss, if you'll stick around, we would love to rejoin you in the next hour as we get more developments on the ground as well. i want to bring brett baeir in
8:55 pm
now. it's a beautiful live shot of this gorgeous sunrise. these people, we continue to see the pictures of them. it's beautiful, stunning. people are underground. they're huddled in subway stations with their children. trying to avoid the worst of the worst, that is now apparently upon them, especially in kyiv. >> brett: the sun popping up, but the lights we saw overnight as steve harrigan and all of our guys on the ground have described have been -- have been lit up by miss and bombs. and explosions in different parts of the capital city. you know, "the new york times" just posted a video of a children's hospital in eastern ukraine that had to move neonatal kids out of there because it was hit by a missile. now they're in a bomb shelter in a makeshift bomb shelter to keep the kids alive. those moments are -- are hearts and minds. and that's what you can't calculate in the middle of war.
8:56 pm
and there will be a couple of other of those that you'll see throughout media coverage in coming days. >> there was a video today. of course, we have no way to verify it. but it went viral of a father sending his little girl away on this train saying he's going to stay and fight. you can see him trying so hard not to cry because she's crying and he doesn't want to as a father send her away with that image. that's heart breaking. those are going to be scenes that play all over the country. they do sit with people and have impact with people when they're living in the middle of these things. lit be hard for putin to dismiss those images from the people's minds. >> brett: the next hour telling the story of snake island in this video, it's amazing. >> shannon: the attacks continue. we have a brand new hour from the ground around the world when fox news at night continues next.
