♪you fill up my senses spent about fox news alert ukrainian soldiers holding strongly for the night of a russian invasion this as vladimir putin threatens to ask like the conflict even further. putting his nuclear forces on high alert. hello welcome to special edition of america's newsroom and join me for the next two hours benjamin hall coming to us live from gentoo. good evening benjamin. >> good afternoon to you. we are in lviv that is in the west of ukraine but i can tell you i am at one oh four war correspondent spreader on the schedule bring angles from each

one of them as we go on. it is such a critical time for this invasion right now. we have all angles covered in the next two hours are going to be full. >> you are right we have so much to get to have great guest lined up for you. here's what is happening, putin is said to be frustrated by the habit resistant his troops are facing the kremlin responding by targeting more of ukraine's infrastructure. a suspected russian missile blowing up an oil depot moscow is also putting pressure on ports and setting forces into its second-largest city. meanwhile ukrainian president zelensky says he is sending a delegation to meet with russian officials in belarus but he remains defiant is calling on the world to help protect ukraine. >> everyone who can return to ukraine, come back to defend ukraine. will then have lots of work to rebuild it. everyone who can defend ukraine abroad do it seriously, persistently and together. all friends of ukraine want to join and defense, we will give you arms. >> that is elation zelensky

pretension when you are in the western city of lviv. what are you seeing there? >> i can tell you right here where we are the war has not yet arrived. it's a fair and couldn't move ever further in this direction. that is because right now we are at a critical time of this conflict is a sense of optimism many people as you'll hear in the coming hours feel putin has not achieve the objectives he set out to donate time from he set out to do that is what makes it more worrying. were four days into this the worry is he double sale, put more troops in. it seems at this point they may have tried to avoid civilian cows casualties but he cannot decapitate the capitol of kyiv he may send more troops and this may over the coming days get far more bloodied. here on the ground on the other hand were seeing the u.s. response of course those are the moments sanctions into this country. it's multifaceted this time or sink more threats from vladimir putin producing more response in the west. i do think the coming days really are going to see either serious escalation or the

ukrainian army standing strong it's not just the army here standing strong it is the people of ukraine. we are going to tell you stories today about how they have come together but how they are rising up. they will all stand for the country in the face where what they're calling evil. they make it very clear to us that they do not stand up this war is not stopping here. it's going ever further into europe towards nato. again recorded his stories of how this does affect the world. whitemore needs to be done for the people are on the street to the city where i am, they are afraid. some of them the women and children fleeing toward the borders that's another angle of the story for the human side, the human cost the exodus of people. you and put up about three and a 50000 so far who have fled. they fear that number could rise 245 million. we keep coming back to this, dana, this is unprecedented in the last 50 odd years maybe since world war ii. a standing army the size of vladimir putin invading a democracy of the borders of europe. this is what we have seen. again we'll be looking at just

how president biden and the administration of handle this. we have a team of experts on the ground. we have people standing by to give us commentary for the next two hours will give everyone at home i really sense of all the angles they are covered pretty most important lay what may happen in the days ahead. it is a pleasure to be with you here, dana. got to say thank you to my team on the ground here. they are outstanding. we are all here in ukraine. let's see what happens. dana: we are grateful you are there your team is honestly amazing it's great to be that do this next two hours with you part of team boxer, general jack aquino standby with the reaction but we are starting with ketanji brown jackson reporting from the capitol kyiv. >> dana, good afternoon for the russian defense ministry said they fit more than 1000 ukrainian military targets since his invasion began. they do not say anything about the civilian toll or infrastructure they have hit over the past three days. we have got updated numbers on the apartment strike that took place yesterday. a missile slamming into a

ukrainian residential complex, killing at least two people and injuring six others. it is not just the infrastructure inside the city, just outside the city overnight an oil depot was hit by a russian missile and today, the ukrainians have told the international bodies overseas nuclear facilities that two of their nuclear waste sites are hit with russian attacks. all of this a significant escalation as a russian forces continued their operation against the city. today we are at air raid sirens ringing out in the ukrainian capitol of kyiv's forces continue to try to make their way inside the city limits. gun battles in the streets and the civilians caught in the crossfire. many underground at this hour fearing more escalation from the russians by air. nine try thanks. i believe benjamin might want to ask you a question. >> trey, i'm just curious to see what you feel about the dim the momentum of this have you seen a shift in last 24 hours? what are the people on the

ground there saying how this might develop? >> look, benjamin, after the bulk of the russian forces don't make it into this capitol city is another day that ukrainian officials military, soldiers and civilians had to prepare. we have seen a significant shift in the city and their preparations. moving barricades across the streets, moving trucks, anything they can to slow the advance of russian forces. in the meantime there are a molotov cocktail making sessions civilians underground, preparing for this offensive. people are lining up at police stations to get weapons to work alongside the soldiers and push back any sort of operation to target the ukrainian capitol. but in the coming hours we do expect officials here to make a decision about whether or not they will extend the current curfew that is in place but right now there are no cars or civilians on the streets of kyiv a city of nearly 3 million people because of martial law is in full effect and they are afraid that russians could be acting as saboteurs come entering the streets of the city and continuing those gun

battles, benjamin and dana. >> trey, thank you very much it does seem as if perhaps the russian army underestimates the ukrainian let's see how long that holds great trait first it kyiv thank you very much. dana: listening in general jack keane, general excuse me, putin raising the nuclear deterrent. how should we think about that? is that alarming or something to think is a natural thing for him to do? or is that an escalation we need to be really concerned about? >> use language that was implying nuclear weapons the other day when he was talking about severe consequences. and so clearly, who is escalating here certainly in terms of rhetoric. but that translates to in the ground, we don't really know. just of the american people understand is putin has icbm and

silos and submarines at sea with nuclear weapons. every single day at like the united states has and they are ready to go. they do not have bombers on alert nor do we have bombers on alert as a result a new start treaty's. we do not know if he's activating those bombers and bringing them up to some kind of alert status or intelligence service certainly knows that. and we don't know if it means he's actually moving tactical nuclear weapons which are a lower yield nuclear weapons largely is in support of military operations. not the strategic weapons designed to take out major cities. we do not know if he is redeploying those. our intelligence services wealthy on top of that. but on the surface of it he's attempting to shock the world this is such a grave situation is being done against him, that he finds no alternative but to threaten the use of nuclear weapons for this leads to more isolation of putin to be frank about it. also demonstrates a side of him

more people are becoming concerned about is his obvious paranoia. when things are not going well for him. the nights that you be unequivocal bowl and sorted the shock effect. but at the same time let's find out was actually happening on the ground. some may not i want to ask about your assessment on how the ukrainians are doing and how they are fighting back pretty want to read one thing from a senior defense official at the pentagon yesterday that said we continue to believe, based on what we have observed, that this resistance is greater than what the russians expected. and we have indications the russians are increasingly frustrated by their lack of momentum over the last 24 hours. as of this morning, we have no indication still the russian military has taken control over any cities. is that your assessment and cannot last? >> it is a staggering assessment. the air force is still flying and their air defenses still

operating. this is their after four days and five nights of an invasion. there is no doubt they have talked about the russian military leaders are executing this operation are very frustrated their logistic lines are breaking down as we've said said before and at the outset this is very ambitious and incredibly complicated also logistic support and air support very complicated. they are not able to execute anywhere near their own expectations. let sit for what it is. think putin has overreached here innovating the ukraine. i think there is significant long-term consequences here dealing with the ukrainian people he think he would get it by now. you think the reason he took crimea and went into eastern ukraine in 2014 because the people of ukraine ran out who

his coaches russian stooge ran them out of the country but that is how strong these people want democracy. eight years later despite the intimidation on being ukrainian soil the people never turn towards ukraine what the people in ukraine never turn towards russia what putin expected, what do they turn to? they turn to the west they want prosperity. they want freedom. that is why we are having this invasion. he fundamentally does not get the ukrainian people and their steadfastness and commitment to their country. but they are willing to do to protect it. yes, he will eventually topple this government i don't think zelensky will surrender it. and there will be resistance and an insurgency that will grow out of all of the people who is opposed to this takeover. he will deal with this for years pre-'s also going to more of an international pariah as a result

of it. he is rejuvenating nato. the organization, database does not make any sense for the very organization has been undermining for over 20 years and trying to weaken. his actions here are going to strengthen nato. we are finally going to have more of an effective deterrent in eastern europe. something he is fundamentally opposed to. and giving the sanctions to take place at a think more serious ones to come actually, the people and russia whose economy is already suffering with unemployment, low per capita income, the ruble is tanking, inflation is spiraling. they are going to be adversely affected. certainly that pressure is going to be felt on putin and his regime as a result of all this. he has overreached long-term adverse consequences as a result of this very. >> one last comment from you sir about nato and the strength of nato and do we have what we need their is a nato organization to deal with what could be coming?

>> yes our people understand listen, nato is the largest alliance ever put together there are 30 nations of it now per there's three and half million troops we have got huge economic heft. we are talking about immersive most of the european nations and the united states is huge. but at the same time we have let this military organization deteriorate after the collapse of the soviet union. we do not have particular eastern europe and the baltics the kind of military deterrence physical presence on the ground to deter putin's aggression. we've got to fix this has to be don't they sense of urgency we've got to fix the u.s. defense budget and also the defense of budget in europe are good to see the germans are going to up their percentage of gdp to 2%. that is a major transformation very. >> that was eye-opening indeed.

>> 's own people understand we cannot build the russian threat, the iranian threat any china threat at the level of defense spending we are at right now which is a little less than 3%. we cannot get there. got to increase it. dana: general think it will stay in touch with you as these developments continue throughout the day. thank you so much. next guest, great talking to you. >> i think to bring you back to trey yingst. the air raid sounds they are. what is the latest when you seeing and hearing? >> benjamin, moments ago air raid sirens sounding across the ukrainian capitol of kyiv the russian air campaign is contending against the city. often the distant sound and what to be like artillery, some explosions and once again the civilian population going underground. church bells have also been used to warn people along with fire sirens inside hotels and other buildings here. anything to get the population

to be aware of what is happening and make sure they can get to shelters immediately. but again, moments ago sirens are sounding in the ukrainian capitol of kyiv and often the distance some explosions indicating the russians at this hour are continuing their campaign against the city. >> trait thank you very much for that will wait and see what the next step to take over that city. will come back to as the news warrants stay safe out there. >> thank you benjamin fox news alert now china appears to be changing its position on the russian invasion of ukraine buried what beijing is calling for now and what it u.s. foreig. in the pentagon sent russia is clearly frustrated by a lack of momentum in ukraine. it's up to raise the >> of nuclear war

dana: germinate the latest country to send military aid to ukraine and that move is historic it is a reversal germany's policy since world war ii of not sending lethal weapons to conflict zones. chancellor roloff scholz said he's shipping 1000 antitank weapons and other missiles to the ukrainian army let's bring in and bremmer president of

eurasia group. i been looking forward to today getting her thoughts on this main change by the chancellor brick. >> it is a big deal it is not the only change. you know, dana, the bush administration, the obama administration come the trump administration pushing the germans incredibly hard on for a white you're attention to your own defense? why aren't you contributing adequately to nato. they been the biggest laggards and now scholz committing to 2% of gdp spending so they want to put into the constitution. it is a massive impact in strengthening nato. the germans help to lead the way and terms of the exclusion of russia from swift. i think roloff scholz did not like being lied to his face by president putin about this whole no invasion. and i think you're seeing a significant reaction from all of europe but most significantly. >> he is new to office will have

the support of this change? >> is just in germinate last week i think what is so interesting issue feel this across the board. the only opposition you had to this policy in germany is from the far right alternatives 5% approval their marginal the problem is all off scholz they the russia under sanders. they said no we got to work economically don't worry about national security. they have completely changed i think this is a dramatic moment something you would not expect after the wall came down in 1959 we are in a different world in germany. spent i want to ask what china as well. this term in change of defense spending more money committing to that and sending weaponry to a conflict zone, will he also

change the energy security and the way they get their power in germany? >> they're going to have too. i don't know that's going to go back to nuclear which is what the right answer would be. but certainly a means are going take a significant economic hit. much more than other major economies because so much of their gas is dependent on a rush up or they figured out they can make that work for this winter and for next winter help with the be able to get a bunch of contracts from japan and support from the united states. i do see this as a tipping point they understand, i've been told this directly by high level german officials that in order to stream two as well as their broader dependent energy dependence on russia was a strategic mistake that must be changed very. >> and, in the minute we have left can you tell me your thoughts on how china's positioning itself right now? it's been a little bit of a

mystery. >> at the beginning when putin met with xi jinping at beijing and the olympics there much more in lockstep. they are not today. then put a lot of pressure privately on the russians we seen some of the publicly saying we do not want the end of the agreement we recognize ukrainian territorial integrity. we expect negotiations. i think one of the reasons why putin shifted from we won't talk to the ukrainians laissez completely disarm to just this morning saying no preconditions we will talk because they really annoyed china. in china is russia's most important friend on the global stage they have to go through the motions on real negotiations dana. with friends write those? right en and a friend of our shows thank you so much, benjamin. >> vladimir putin is frustrated at how slowly his invasion of ukraine is going.

that is what u.s. officials told reporters in an off-camera brief yesterday. they said moscow was not expecting to face this much resistance in ukraine. national security correspondent jennifer grimmett lived in moscow from 1996 until 1999. why should we know what's in your tells about vladimir putin and those around him operate? >> first bed let me update you when i heard from his senior defense official just moments ago. you are right they are saying they are not seeing as much progress in that the russians are getting frustrated and that this announcement about the nuclear forces been put on alert is a sign of how frustrated putin is and also intelligence analysts have told us putin is tempting to escalate to de-escalate keep an eye on the talks that are supposed to take place on the belarus border between a ukrainian delegation and a belarus delegation tomorrow. we were always told lieutenant would try to negotiate while

fighting. but it was notable in the discussions with the senior defense official that russian forces are still 30 kilometers outside the capitol kyiv some special units had made their way into the capitol but very significant than in the past 24 hours have not made any progress along those roads into kyiv nursing some sort of siege taking place just east of chernobyl and a town where we saw scenes setting front russian tanks they were concerned the defense official i spoke to is concerned the russian forces may be preparing a siege on that town that would lead to escalating civilian casualties and pretty asked about my time in moscow. i lived there in the '90s when it president yeltsin was still in power. but he had just come up before i left moscow and 99 had promoted vladimir putin in the form of

kgb agent who had been in eastern germany and then in st. petersburg. they had just promoted him to be his prime minister. that was really a significant moment. because what i remember was the brutality at which at the time i did not understand all the dots and how to connect them. and now in looking back i recognize he was laying the groundwork for an invasion of chechnya at the time. there were some apartments building in moscow that were blown up in the middle of the night. it initially led back to putin's hand. putin has been a brutal leader. he's been involved in numerous poisonings that we have documented over time of his opponents. and certainly those around him are part of that. and they are now being sanctioned, benjamin. >> very interesting, very interested in jennifer thank you for you what if this is point and two-point he's on the same playbook or if it's different your analysis thank you we appreciate it, dana.

that's adorable. with shipgo shipping your luggage before you fly you'll never have to wait around here again. like ever. that can't be comfortable though. shipgo.com the smart, fast, easy way to travel. spent russian forces taking over to take over kyiv it. a city of ukraine is becoming another hub for the growing civilian resistance friend benjamin is there, he isn't lviv. hi benjamin brewer. >> it's a fasting to see. when you cover wars and conflict i cover a few myself there's always stores of resilience, inspiration and that is true here. one of the things we are seeing, the people coming together, rising up. been talking all day about how putin did not expect this level of resistance from the army but is not going to expect a level of resistance from the people either. we spoke to a leader of their forces earlier, have a look at this. we drove to the outskirts of

lviv out down a bumpy road to a nondescript house on the edge of the field there we met natalia a mother and it consultant. suddenly thrown into the middle of this invasion, now coordinate the civilian resistance. i want if you could describe to us just exactly is happening with this coordination that is rising up for the people? >> we are independent, we are free people. freedom is a main value. we are united. so there is no doubt of people separate -- groups of people paired we are united. >> i just wonder that with that in mind, rush it may be did not understand that when they came here they were taking on more than just the army. >> absolutely. we have almost 40 million people who would like to fight russia. maybe they expect us to -- they'll have something they had in crimea.

we are in crisis. they come, they take and they thought everything would be smooth for them. however now, they would like to take our land. >> can a group of civil defenders, civilians, can they hold back the russian army? >> you know we have a tradition of resistance like welcome to resistance here for the first thing is about the situation. >> i was going to ask you what motivates you to rise up to risk your family to do this now? the future of my children, i would like to be a part for. >> how far are you willing to go to sacrifice for this fight we have a lot of people who go to

the center of conflict and protect every part of our land. this can do our life. we notice we are not terrified. we are on our land just leave us alone like go from here. you will die here. >> it is fascinating to see the symbiotic relationship between these civilians and the government and the bravery they're all willing to go through. i'll just tell you at the moment we have air raid sirens going off or we are at the moment. still as i said the fighting has not reached here yet there has been a concern at my post to the west. we'll keep an eye on that. errata sirens going off here as well, dana point. >> have a question for you at first i would like to say your interview there is so inspiring to see these ukrainians of fighting back. she is so brave, and strong that

was very good to see. i have a question because trey yingst reported there is a curfew in kyiv. it is at the same or you are? i see a few cars in the street behind you. >> there is a curfew here it's a very strange feeling. some people are content with the lights others have fled some people are desperately hoping it won't come but are prepping themselves preparing their bags getting ready to read it really is the feeling you don't know if you're going to have to leave her whole life behind you say goodbye to family members and leave for an uncertain future our weather perhaps there might be some solutions to this conflict before it ends. it is a strange city to be in route nobody knows house going to play out. we hear the air sirens like this puts everybody on edge. does remind you just how close we are to a fully fledged war that is going on just a few hours from us now. >> i believe that's the only place we are hearing errata signs of spring and trey yingst and kyiv the capitol city. when you hearing now?

>> we are hearing air raid silence often the distance sounding once again in the ukrainian capitol telling people to get underground immediately. we have heard these throughout the night and explosions in the distance. the gun battles had been taking place here often are getting closer to the city center. with the air campaign taking place at the same time there is a concern that again this offensive comes from the air and from the ground. it creates a very different scenario for these civilians that are cost caught admits the crossfire other siblings alongside armed forces on the outskirts of the city trying to stop the advance of the ukrainian troops of these russian troops excuse me. >> alright trey yingst stay on top of that for us we will be in touch with you but also wondering at this ukrainian soldiers and civilians are trying to fight off this fourth day of russian attacks but there are officials there say the russia actually launched a hybrid or weeks ago we were talking about even then they'd stepped up cyber attacks, hacks and misinformation.

an out u.s. officials are warning about more lies and an apparent plan for false report on ukrainian troops surrendering to russia. house foreign service committee member mike gallagher is here. think there's something to say the escalation 70000 last march and surrounded the country there's escalations on going there were cyber attacks, misinformation campaigns and the ukrainian government zelensky was warning people about that at the time, mike. >> clearly putin was preparing the battle space and trying to collapse zelensky and the ukrainian people's will to fight. but it appears to not to have worked, dana. bram was picking up rifles the border guards in the south telling russian warships to go to hell you have zelensky himself leading from the front

begging us for more ammunition. support more quickly. i do not do that to assign blame what's important to understand how we failed to deter the initial invasion until we learn the right lessons. the ukrainian courage is giving president biden something and don't often get in geopolitics which is a second chance it. now is the time for him to seize it, stop the sanctions half members. restore your strength by investing in your own military, unleash the full power of american energy. ordinary ukrainians can deal the disinformation, the missiles and slowed on the mighty russian military imagined what we, the most powerful country in human history could do if we had a shred of that courage for that courage should be a wake-up call for us. >> how important is it to make sure we have access to the internet both in ukraine and for

the people in russia who disagreed with vladimir putin's move here? >> it is critically important. we know that putin is a ratcheting up controls on access to forms like twitter because he does not want his own citizens to see the brutality and chaos that he has caused. one things that would make sense to me as american social media and tech companies to put in place a simple rule that when it comes to regimes like russia and china who of course deny their own citizens access to information on these platforms, we should not allow their government officials their propaganda, to have access to this platform spread that to me would be a constructive step forward and a way for american social media companies to start regaining some of their moral clarity when it seems i have lost it in recent years. dana: carson mike gallagher thank you for joining us on the sunday we appreciate it.

>> thanks dana. next hitting putin where it hurts for the u.s. and the west are now imposing the top is a sanctions yet on russia by removing some of its financial institutions from a key international banking system. but will it be enough? the glaring loopholes critics are pointing out. >> i have said all along we should have done this in pre-not post. but here we are. the fact i'm glad they are doing the swift sanctions on putin himself. like jack. he wanted a streamlined version he could access anywhere, no download necessary. and kim. she wanted to execute a pre-set trade strategy in seconds. so we gave 'em thinkorswim® web. because platforms this innovative aren't just made for traders -they're made by them. thinkorswim® by td ameritrade

natural gas. i thought that made so much sense. maybe explain that for our viewers. >> first of all i love it i hope my wife is watching someone is giving good advice. it is a way countries can speak confidentially and securely, to one another and a payment system you allow merchants and businesses to be able to transact. even the graduated efforts today as we see there is agreement we are going to remove some russian banks from the swift system is another positive. but as i listened to your show, the show this early afternoon, if we thought about three weeks ago, two weeks ago, one would have predicted we would be here we would have got a lot of pushback. the thing putin is more isolated. nato is more united. china is expressing discomfort and what is happening. your previous guests, sharing

how even he is surprised at some of the coalition strength and resolve with nato. i think the most surprising and most pleasantly surprising has been the resolve we talked about many days the result of the ukrainian people and the leadership. as we think about this war effort and the resistance the ukrainians have put forward i think the words of the president has said many things i think are powerful. we have seen many things from citizens as well. is that i don't need a ride i need ammunition. we are standing firm. they not only wins this but breaks putin in the long-term and russia. dana: seven is already made t-shirts i don't need a ride i need fuel for a help to get one of those appear to want to ask about this. deterrence did not work. pensions are the next step to try to isolate and see if that will work. listen to president biden. he did a podcast interview on saturday. >> you have two options, go with or with russia physically or two, make sure that a country

that acts so contrary to international law and that paying a price for having done it. it is not like you can sanction someone and say you are no longer going to be able to be president of russia. [laughter] dana: the wealthy and the elites might feel the pinch of the sanctions soon. but what about the people of russia as well as they try to go get money out and realizing the exchange rate is all decided making any money they had worth a lot less. >> look at. i think that is been a part of the president and the administration strategy. i listen to any former gas and think the congressman from wisconsin. i think some of the framing there was little naïve and may be a little more politically motivated pit president biden and his team have done a good job up to this time here i call balls and strikes and i have been critical of the administration. but i get them tremendous credit for recognizing the political will of the country.

no one wants to send troops into ukraine part i don't know any serious person looking to send troops right away into ukraine for there is those of us to express i was one of them thought may be the sanctions were too light. it turns out this graduated effort here is keeping our allies in check and when i say in check. i think at the end of the day. dana: but the sanctions did not come before the invasion. is that something that should be looked at? >> sure, but those are all hypotheticals. if the sanctions had come before we may have a different result than we have right now. you may not have that unity amongst nato party may not have the efforts which we see now with the bp looking to withdraw from its investment on the big russian oil companies. i think we have to take it as it comes in. i one who defended president bush when he said we should go george w. bush said we should seek to remove saddam hussein i send my my democratic colleagues how do we know bin laden and saddam won't marry up? he was probably right and history shows we could've done

things a little differently but i give the president a lot of credit. dana: the way that nato has come together and that germany has a change's long-standing position for the first time since world war ii. that is aptly sick negative. harold ford junior and thank you also on the five this week as well. have a good day. >> thank you. dana: been. >> thanks dana. despite this major financial sanctions on moscow, critics say the u.s. and its allies, they could do more to deter putin. next, why the west has been so reluctant to target russia's oil and gas industry. once-weekly ozempic® can help. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. in adults also with known heart disease,

dana: present biden and nato pet restaurant with banks but they have yet to target the oil industry let's bring a daniel turner executive director power the future. why do you think this is and could that be coming? >> yes this is a real problem. our lack of energy production domestically basically is what has resulted from biden administration punishing the fossil fuel industry has really dwindled our supply. that hurts international markets. we need russian oil right now but it does not have to be this way if we can produce more here at home. >> you have sent a letter to the

president suggesting ways he could reverse course on several pieces of policy that could make america independent once again on energy. is there anything you can do is he gets ready for the state of the union that will change course? >> wouldn't it be great to see the american present release the power of american energy? that starts with these brave interior allowing permitting to federal lands in the gulf of mexico it starts at the reopening key stone pipeline and many other pipeline projects in similar projects which this administration has halted. so unleashing all the power of her domestic fossil industry also helps our economy, reduces inflation but it will weaken vladimir putin. we need to lower gas and we need to do that by producing more here. >> has been a lot of focus on climate change be sought from john kerry last week. i am not saying it can't figure out a way to both have innovations that produce fossil fuels with less carbon

emissions, but there is going to be an transition. you cannot flip a switch of anything we've been reminded of it's time to grow up when it comes to our energy policy. that means you have to recognize it's not just about affordable gas prices it's about our national security. >> that's absolutely correct. we have to look at our european allies who are 20 years further ahead and embracing this radical green agenda. and how vulnerable they are right now. kudos to germany for taking some really bold steps right now to stop vladimir putin. they are in very dire straits and america does not have to follow this path. of course we want a clean environment. we have that in america. we are always improving as an industry but to punish the fossil fuel industry now because of your climate hysteria, has hurt our economy and it has hurt our national security. this more on fossil fuels in america has to come to an end. dana: will have about 30 seconds left pretend about the workers in america who would benefit from being able to actually go
