>> carley: kremlin says russia is ready to resume talks with ukraine today.

putin forces ramp up attacks and president biden announces new actions the united states plan to take against russia. i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. griff jenkins is in washington. sean duffy is standing by with his top take away, but first we trn to mike tobin to discuss the fight for freedom. mike. >> mike: the latest is bulletin that the russian say they are ready to meet and talk about cease-fire talks. ukrainian security chief confirms assassination plot against president volodymyr zelenskyy in which the assassins were all killed. according to national security chief, this team was assassins part of an elite chechnya group. they were installed in the

hostomel airport. russians who don't support the war effort is how they learned about this. just after dusk, tv tower in kyiv was hit. it was near the site of the holocaust memorial and the holocaust memorial said to be destroyed, as well. to the east, military air center in kharkiv was struck. the police headquarters was hit and reports in kharkiv russian paratroopers have taken up position. meantime, president of belarus, in a peculiar scene, stood in front of a battle map, which produced interesting developments. imagery of world war ii, of someone with a pointer. two, when he says rockets, talks about rockets launched from belarus, he says we launched

rockets. we know at this point, the president of belarus has been tight with vladamir putin to this point. but it was interesting indicating we, belarus was part of it amid reports they have shown up in the middle part of the country. on the map, they show different areas of dominance and seems to indicate battle plan involves taking a portion of moldoefa. puzzling development out of belarus state tv. back to new york. >> carley: russians are saying they are ready to talk today. ukrainian said they are interested in continuing talks, as well, right? >> mike: they have said they are interested in continuing these talks and the ukrainians have been forthcoming about what they want. they want cease-fire and susation of hostility. they did talk at the belarus border and outlined talking

points. first talk without precondition, now they have parameters as far as where they will talk. you don't get a great feeling of optimism from the ukrainian side, though. >> carley: russian have asked ukraine to demilitarize and give up crimea, which are both nonstarters. more to come on the peace talk front. thank you. we'll check in soon. president biden delivering his first state of the union address on do meft and i can foreign issues including new measures against russia and vladamir putin. >> todd: griff jenkins is live in washington with more. griff. >> griff: the president spoke for just over an hour promising to hold putin accountable in announcing closure of u.s. air space to all russian flights. >> president biden: he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would roll over. instead, he met with a wall, he met ukrainian people. join our allies in closing

american air space to all russian flights. >> griff: biden announced plans to release u.s. petroleum reserve and tackles record inflation, soaring gas prices, the southern border, defund the police and covid-19 fatigue in front of a suddenly maskless audience. >> president biden: secure the board sxer fix imgragsz system. the answer is not to defund the police, it is to fund the police. use this moment to reset. stop looking at covid as a partisan dividing line. >> griff: iowa governor kim reynolds delivered rebuttal, hammering biden for failures and pinning him a weak president. >> instead of moving america forward, it feels like president biden and his party have sent us back in time. when runaway inflation was hammering families, violent

crime wave was crushing our cities and soviet army was trying to redraw the world map. >> republican criticism didn't stop there, house minority leader kevin mccarthy had this to say. >> only thing he's done well is make jimmy carter's presidency look better. his speech fell fat, this administration is flailing. >> griff: members of the president's own party delivered responses, including one from a member of the so-called squad rashida tlaib offering praise, but doubling down on progressive demands for next year. today the president heads to wisconsin to try to sell his build back better agenda. >> todd: speaking of wisconsin, state of the union and russia, bring in sean duffy, fox news contributor and wisconsin resident. sean -- >> sean: thank you, todd. >> todd: i acknowledge where you

live, are the moves by biden the death blow to putin? specifically if he doesn't ban russian oil and simultaneously doesn't increase domestic production? >> sean: did he say anything new? same faileds of the last year in the state of the union. only thing different he said, he wanted to secure the border. there is no faith he doll that, he is the cause of the open border. with regard to oil, the great american energy supply is here. if you open up american energy, you gallon after the funding mechanism of the whole russian country. i don't understand why joe biden won't do that, to open american oil reserves will not do anything in the long run. you want american energy in play, he wouldn't go that step.

i don't think this is meaningful. >> carley: 30 million barrels would last what, day and a half? the president said he would ban russian flights from entering american air space, that is already something europe has done. europe has also led sanctioning russian central bank. it feels like the united states is junior partner when making the decisions and that is a very different place, different feeling for americans to not be lead whenning it comes to big international decisions. >> sean: yeah, carley, joe biden wants us to believe he is drive thanksgiving -- drive thanksgiving coalition. going after swift, i think that is dangerous and that can come back and bite the u.s. dollar where global reserve currency that allowed us to borrow and spend a ton of money.

that has major impact on the american economy. do europeans care about that? do the rest of the world care about the dollar? no. we should care more than anybody and seems like joe biden thinks if europe gallon along with using swift to go after russia, he's all in. i think he has to be more concerned about where the dollar is in regard to the reserve currency status. >> todd: junior partner, good analogy. >> carley: thank you. >> todd: after two years of mandates joe biden dropping partisan divide on covid during his maskless address. how rich was that? biden and democrats calling to drop partisan divide when they themselves caused the divide in the first place? >> sean: right. by the way, todd, you shuts down our schools, our kids didn't get educated f.s you're elite and have money, you don't have to wear a mask. if you work in a grocery store,

as a waiter or in a kitchen, you had to mask up. elitism, covid spreads if you don't have money, that angered a lot of people and did a lot to distance the democratic party from the working men and women, who the party used to represent, but no longer does. we treat everybody equally, saw covid was not equal o. zoom, no mask, if you work for a living, where you have to breathe, have you to mask up. that was rich. politics of covid and joe biden calling it out. we're happy we'll get to a place where no mandates, no masks, no shutdowns, back to everyday life. >> carley: inches in that direction. speech was 62 minutes, shortest since george w. bush. at one point he called

ukrainians iranians and he said he disagreed with vice president kamala harris. your overarching takeaway, how will the speech be remembered down the road? >> sean: boring, not a lot of energy. first five minutes, i gave him an a, the rest of the speech, d or d minus. you had social distancing in the chamber. i was in that chamber, cufeel it, it is a cool event and they had everyone separated and very partisan and low energy. his mumbling through the speech oftentimes, he made the gaffes, i don't think he did well. poll numbers will not improve. >> carley: that will be something to watch for sure. sean, leave it there, thank you for waking up with us. good to see you. cnn had trouble spinning their post-address poll, bad news for

president biden. >> todd: joe concha gives us his reaction coming up. how bout sushi? i just had sushi for lunch yesterday. indian? ehh, maybe. that thai restaurant we went to a couple of weeks ago? how bout tacos? tacos. automatic emergency braking one of six advanced safety features standard on every 2022 chevy equinox. find new technology. find new roads. chevrolet

o'rourke. >> carley: this as number of races advance to runoffs this spring. marianne rafferty has latest numbers from the primary. >> marianne: good morning. governor abbott poised to compete with beto o'rourke. border security, ark bortion and crime. >> texas face profound question this election, do we take a left turn that leads to more government and less freedom? path that would destroy jobs, open borders and endanger communities or do we maintain course that secured greater freedom, more jobs and safer communities? >> marianne: former texas attorney general is facing -- o'rourke, former congressman from el paso ran a tight race against cruz in 2018 and lost and ran unbeing civilly for the

presidential nomination. o'rourke known for giving rousing speeches, hoping to rally texas democrats. >> the beauty in this state and our values, we work hard and we do good work and we're good to one another, that is not reflected in those who hold power and positions of public trust in this state right now. >> marianne: and another big race in south texas, henry cuellar, harsh critic of kamala harris's handling of the border crisis. cuellar narrowly beat cisneros in 2020 is outspending her despite federal investigation that saw his home and office raided earlier this year. other races, morgan lutrell and wesley hunt both poised to win, the race for attorney general is uncalled and progressive

favorite craig kesar won his race in central texas. >> carley: cnn poll shows americans are disappointed with the first state of the union address thachlts didn't stop legal pundits from gushing over the performance. >> todd: one thing he said, he is foreign policy president, that is his skill set. david axelrod saying, i thought he was passionate. that was genuine. uncle joe is back, i'm proud we have a leader like him or her. let's go to joe concha -- >> carley: sounded better when you said it than when they said it on tv. >> todd: let's not let numbers -- did biden address the issues enough in the cnn poll? listen to this, joe, look at this. 47 % said he did not address

enough on inflation or violent crime. how bad for biden, he couldn't break 50% on inflation and crime which will determine the midterm. >> joe: 41% positive reaction from viewers is lowest in 15 years in terms of positive reaction. all the pundits, it is predictable as much as birds flying south for the winter. the common thread is based on emotion that biden had great energy, uncle joe is back. where is the substance? people want to hear substance and know how the commander and chief will solve the problems facing them on inflation, crime, border, education and what is go og in ukraine and russia and what happened with afghanistan from a foreign policy

perspective. the pundits i'll listen to on that, was dana perino, who said after that speech the address was uninspiring, there was no pivot or change in policy or approach. they took a speech they had written for months and copy and pasted something they wanted to include about ukraine and praising the ukrainian people for fighting and condemning putin as the president should have and went back to the same failed talking points they have been talking about for the past six months around build back better and voting rights and list of things they want to do to solve problems and this speech will be forgotten by the time we are speaking tomorrow at this time. >> todd: their view of accomplishments are vulnerabilities, key line from dana perino. >> carley: there were three rebuttals, one from the republican party, kim reynolds,

and then two democratic rebuttals, rashida tlaib for the working family progressive party and congressman allred spoke for the congressional black caucus. if you are a member of the biden administration, you must be furious? >> joe: yeah, look at the scoreboard. democratic response to democratic president's state of the union beat the republican response, opposing party two-to-one. that certainly muddys the waters a bit and shows how little support he has within his own party and it is why so many democrats, majority don't want joe biden to run for re-election in 2024 h. to be disappointing for the president, no question. >> todd: joe concha, we're unified, concha fans. we got to

go, joe. >> joe: you are rainman, you remember what everybody said, quoting dana perino, filled in the sound, let's go to vegas and count some cards. >> todd: city of kyiv in desperate fight for the city. 40-mile convoy approaching the capital. >> carley: next guest is live nothing ukraine and her city has been completely destroyed, she is coming up next. your strength can outlast any bad day. because you are greater than your bipolar i, and you can help take control of your symptoms - and ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs, once-daily vraylar is proven to treat depressive, acute manic, and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms. elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts.

show up in lviv issue the line to get them stretching around the block. for fighting age men and you have the flow of refugees coming through, we get tearful scenes of goodbyes because the women and children go across the border to safety and the men stay back to fight. >> it is terrible. nobody wants to -- this situation. we believe that -- >> mike: early estimates said we would see between one and five million refugees cross the border during the fighting. the statement is shy of 700,000 who have crossed to safety. >> carley: thousands fight to get on trains out of kyiv as russian troops close in after putin warned them to leave or

die. good to see you, we spoke to you earlier this week. how are you doing? how have the last few days been for you? >> they have been hard. i'm sorry, i teared up a bit from hearing the man speak at the border. it's a challenge. we're hold og. i've seen a lot of people, women, children, trying to escape. everybody is keeping in order, everybody is traveling okay, i guess. it is becomingic and people are scared. the moral is pretty good. i think the strategy doesn't work for russia, we're winning, it make its seem like they might be regrouping and changing strategy.

ukrainian military is strong as ever and with all the necessary support, i think we can manage just fine. >> carley: there is that 40 miles long convoy of troops heading toward kyiv, it has been stalled. look at images of total devastation in kharkiv and it is one of the more horrific things that anybody in the world has seen in recent years. you have been in touch with troops that are fighting on the front lines. what is their moet vagsz like to defeat this energy? >> they are protecting their kids and their wives and protecting their land. that 40-mile convoy has been a matter of nerves among the people, but knowing russia is not doing great logistics wise, so we'll see how that goes. most of the troops are keeping spirits very high.

they're doing what they have to do, they're not distracted by anything, they are not fearful. we had a discussion about this yesterday with a friend from kyiv, he is in battle right now. he told me there is no fear. there were feelings of nervousness before, but this day, nobody is scared, we are just tired and keep on working. >> carley: keep on working. talk about the russian troops. sergi, ukrainian tennis star, are fighting this war and yesterday he was on fox news and he said he's seen with his eyes russian fighters don't even know why they are there. they didn't even know they were fighting ukrainians, what is your reaction to that? >> it would seem some were not informed they were going to real war, they were going to

exercises and whatnot. it is just we are so used to that, they lie all the time. they lie to their own people, they don't tell them where they are going. russian troops have been like laying down arms and masks, they know where they are coming, there have been some organizations trying to listen to the russian transmitters and radios and they are disoriented. that is russia's strategy, they don't care. we celebrate every troop we have, we care about every troop we lose. russia doesn't care. they will send them like meat here to die. that is what is going to happen. i hope russian people can understand that and i mean it in the best way i can, trying to get all my humanity together. if your men come here, they will die here, if belarus peep

compel, they will die and nobody will care. >> carley: stay safe. we are praying for you, god bless you. todd, over to you. >> todd: powerful words, what did the american people think of state of the union speech? lee carter has the dial and will cain will share his top takeaway. we'll check in with him next. with my hectic life you'd think retirement would be the last thing on my mind. hey mom, can i go play video games? sure, after homework. thankfully, voya provides comprehensive solutions and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. what's the wifi password again? here...you...go. cool. thanks. no problem. voya helps me feel like i've got it all under control. because i do. oh she is good. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.

>> carley: president biden says we should buy american. united states imports a lot of foreign oil. that has senator joe manchin calling for ban on russian energy imports as u.s. reliance hits record high. >> todd: simply put, can america remain the most powerful naegsz in the world if we are not energy independent? >> we can, but it is a lot harder and foolish because we have this wonderful resource waiting to be exploited. we hear from people in the energy industry who come on this network or the business network and talk about how eager they are to create more energy if washington will let them, allow permitting pipelines, drilling refineries. that is the big missed opportunity last night that the president with his buy american

mantra didn't say here is how we create more energy in the u.s. >> carley: this war in the u.s. is raging on, he spent the first several moments of the speech, the topic he talked about most is the war in ukraine. he talks about that and you think about how much oil we import from russia like 59 million dollars a day? when people say that the united states is funding this war, you can see where they are coming from. >> it is strange, this is a policy that can hit a lot of the issues he has trouble with. it is a way to weaken russia, obviously make their oil less of a factor, produce our own, it is a great disinflationary tool. bring prices down, they are contributor to cost throughout the economy. and obviously for that desire to create more products in the u.s., energy is

a big one. >> todd: what is joe biden's answer? that would get us to thursday 2 p.m., what happens then? >> you saw the price of oil went up after the announcement, it is because it is irrelevant. it is about a third of global daily production and those barrels exist. people know they are there. traders look at the supply, it doesn't change anything, has no impact. the game changer is people seeing more production in the u.s., that would bring the price down. >> carley: there was a controversial moment during one portion of the speech, president biden was booed when he talked about the trump tax cut only benefiting top 1%. listen to this. >> president biden: unlike the $2 trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration, the

american rescue plan -- [booing] >> president biden: american rescue plan helped working people. >> carley: aside from that, what is your response to the moment? >> the chuck chuck schumer head shake said it all, most partisan member of senate. the trump tax cuts cut income rates and the economy did well as a result and obviously you see after the trump tax cuts, we have highly progressive tax system with the top 5% of earners paying almost all of the income taxes. that was an -- applause line. he was calling for more tacks on businesses, that is not way to lower cost and produce more goods and services.

>> carley: he's not a trickle-down economy guy. he made that clear. james, thanks for coming in. we will send to fox and friends weekend will cain. live in texas having breakfast with friends. will, you are a deep thinker, we want your top takeaways on president biden's state of the union address. >> will: i'm flattered by that, carley. count the ways i appreciate you, as well. my takeaway from last night, largely it was an attempt to convince the people of reality that does not exist. something the american people feel passionate about is putting america first. he talked about bringing american manufacturing back to

america. outside of that, this resonateed with me. he said, let us make, talking about covid, the virus the enemy. see each other for what we are, americans. this is after the year of blaming the pandemic on a group of people that have a different health choice than the president of the united states of america. he was convince us of reality that doesn't exist. economy is strong. we started from a lockdown. everyone knows price of inflation, here is the answer, cut cost. would you say, i wish we had thought of that, just cut cost. i don't think it will pass when i talk to americans today in mcallen, texas. >> todd: perfect sin opsis.

>> todd: russia war in ukraine heads into the second week, president biden delivering first state of the union address to congress. what did americans watching at home think? here is lee carter. let's kickoff with inflation. listen. >> president biden: we have a choice, one way to fight inflation, drive down wages and make americans poorer. i think i have a better idea to fight inflation. lower your cost, not wages, make more cars and semiconductor necessary america, more infrastructure and innovation in

america. more goods moving faster and cheaper in america. lee. >> they can see the democrats responded well. independents came around, as did republicans, when you talk about making more in america. they gave him a b and c respectively. he wasn't talking about makes things in america. many said he sounded more republican than democrat last night. people have credibility issues with him. you want to make things in america? we have to deal with energy. we heard from james freeman, talk about making energy back here in oil, turn the pipeline back on. we are reliant on foreign oil and they wanted to hear that and that was problematic with conservative voters. >> todd: joe biden praising ukrainians. listen. >> president biden: russia's

vladamir putin sought to shake the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways, but he badly miscalculated. he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would roll on, he met with a wall of strength he never -- >> democrats give this a plus, and republicans a c. it is not republicans and independents were not supporting the ukrainian people. we are united and standing behind the people of ukraine. there is skepticism about this president. it's been a rough few years and haven't seen unity come before now. >> todd: here is joe biden's closing argument. >> president biden: as hard as times have been, i'm more optimistic about america than vibeen my whole life, i see the

future within our grasp. there is nothing beyond our capacity. we're the only nation on earth that turned every crisis we've faced into an opportunity. only nation defined by a single word, possibilities. >> todd: lee, take us home. >> republicans gave a d. we are unified behind ukraine, unified in a lot of ways. that does not take away the pain of the last year. people feel the pain of inflation and feeling pessimistic. this seemed out of touch. one speech will not turn around the last year. people want to see action. >> todd: people are not cheering, they want solutions. things cost a lot and they are scared about their safety. thank you.

his state of the union last night. i'm sure it wasn't nancy pelosi because she had already ripped up donald trump's speech in half. but it was a fascinating moment to see him basically say everything opposite of what he and the left and his party has been saying. but he understands how out of tune and out of touchy has been with the american people. he had no choice. but he did not is speak it with the kind of conviction you would like to hear from a president who actually believed what he was reading from the teleprompter. >> governor huckabee, did you get the sense that i did that? in some ways biden was taking credit for a lot of the things that he unilaterally messed up. >> there's no doubt about that todd. when he talked about even energy, and he was going to, you know, open up oil reserves. what, for all of the oil that he talked about would give us oil for three days. three big wonderful days. if he is really serious, he would do a little more like

genuinely open up our energy markets. but the part that was absolutely laughable was when he said he wanted to secure the borders and control them and open up the schools. and i'm thinking, dude, you have had the open door policy at the border since you came in. you reversed everything that was working. you opened up everything that didn't. and it was your administration and your bullheadedness that has kept the schools mostly closed across the country. it was surreal. and, yet, people stood up and applauded as if he had just discovered ice cream. >> iowa governor kim reynolds gave the republican rebuttal 13-minute long speech that aired directly after president biden's state of the union address. she said that the president has taken us bang to the 1980s. listen to this. >> instead of moving america forward it, feels like president biden and his party have sent us back in time to the late cents and early 80's when run away

inflation was hammering fleams of violent crime wave was crashing our cities. and the soviet army was trying to redraw the world map. >> carley: governor, how did you feel about her speech? how did she do? >> you know, that's the toughest speech that is ever asked to do. i thought she handled it very, very well. she came across with warmth and sin ventilator and she has got a genuinely solid platform upon which she can speak in her own record. but when she was referencing the late 70s, early 80s i couldn't help but think gee joe would have looked good poll esther por leisure suit. i'm coming back get those interest rates up to 20 again. live with inflation you like have you never seen it and gas lines around six blocks that would have been an appropriate kind of picture i think for the speech.

look, i want to say i thought he did well on two things, the ukrainian situation even though he thought it was iranians that he was fighting for. the other moment that i really applauded was when he talked about let's go after the moon shot with cancer. when presidents can talk aspirationally about things that are big, bold, challenging and that touches every american, if he is sincere, serious, and really will sit down with republicans in a bipartisan way, those are the kind of things that make more sense than just throwing trillions of dollars at a bunch of social programs and union creating jobs base owes some political favors. >> governor, we have about 20 seconds remaining, but the biden administration did want this to be a reset for his presidency. do you think he succeeded. >> i don't think it was a reset of his presidency. it was a reset of the left agenda, unfortunately. he had a great moment that he

could have had but i don't think he lived up to it in a way that he needed to. >> ainsley: yeah and the immediate polling shows on crime and inflation people say he missed the mark on both of those important issues. governor, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> you bet. thanks. >> todd: great being with you on an historic morning. >> carley: absolutely. >> todd: "fox & friends" begins right now. [gunfire] >> ukraine now into the seventh day of fighting. >> as putin continues escalating the weapons that he is using. >> president biden says he is putting putin on notice. >> he thought he could roll into ukraine and the world would roll over, but putin's wrong. >> a plot to assassinate president zelenskyy has been foiled. the assassins have been killed. [explosion] >> yes, yes. >> just this morning the ukrainian government says a russian missile has
