your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. we cover a lot here throughout the day and the continuing coverage of the war in ukraine, a serious topic continues at 7:00 p.m. eastern with "jesse watters primetime" who suspect next. hey, jesse. >> jesse: thank you. i'm going to be having bill barr on "primetime" in a few weeks so thanks for warming him up for me. >> bret: all right. [laughter] >> jesse: good evening. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime." tonight we begin with a fox news alert ♪ [bleep] [explosions] >> jesse: it was blood-soaked weekend in ukraine as putin's army continues to kill civilians on purpose. the situation is spiraling

completely out of control as the west scrambles to find a way to stop the russians. foreign correspondent trey yingst is live in kyiv latest, trey? >> >> jesse, good evening. tonight the ukrainians say they shot down two russian planes flying in the skies of their capital city. it comes as we are seeing some devastating images of russian shelling civilian areas across this country. in concernive, can you see apartment complex the courtyard totally destroyed by a russian shell. this is a common theme across ukraine as the russian are indiscriminate matily firing on populated areas. similar scenes erupting in kharkiv as russian ground forces try to work their way through this city. they are trying to surround and it been hitting the city quite heavily over the past 48 hours from the air this gives you a taste of what is happening in the northern part of the country. around the capital of kyiv, and

irpin. >> 60,000 people there twice this weekend watch what happening so-to-civilians destruction here. four people killed yesterday when a russian shell hit the ground flight front of them. killing them instantly. and they were trying to evacuate. they were not trying to fight the russians. they were not part of the military here strictly civilians. finally can you sigh artillery here. the ukrainians are trying to respond today launch counter offensives not only in kyiv but the northeastern part of the country. i want you to take a listen to what volodymyr zelenskyy had to say tonight and just his resolve and his words here is kyiv in the evening. our office monday evening. you know we get used to saying monday is a tough day. have a war in the country so every day is monday.

>> zelenskyy isn't hiding. he is being very open about where he is located right now. is he still working on behalf of the ukrainian people trying to shine light in these areas of destruction while asking the west, specifically the united states for more weapons and air defense systems so he can push back against this russian offensive. jesse? >> jesse: trey, how is the mood in ukraine changed over the long bloody weekend? >> it changed quite a bit. we were in that town of irpin just outside the capital on saturday and it was before all of these civilian deaths took place. and while the civilians were getting shelled, and there was sniper fire in the distance, today we returned and the mood there was even more tense there were fewer people crossing. many are afraid now to leave their homes. because when they see these images of dead civilians, their neighbors on the streets of ukraine, they realize that could be them. and it changes the whole dynamic here as people try to get to safety. jesse? >> jesse: that's pretty bleak.

thanks, trey. nearly 100 percent of russian's combat forces from the border have now entered ukraine. russia is throwing everything it has into battle. even recruiting syrians to come wage urban warfare on its behalf. heavy battles raging in the south. nic leif is the scene of massive fighting as russian ground forces threaten the entire south and move towards the key port city of odesa. the black sea coast is in trouble as the russian military is making more progress there than in the north. zelenskyy is begging for more air support from the west. yesterday secretary of state tony blinken said the u.s. wouldn't stand in the way of any nato members offering to support ukraine. >> if, for instance, the polish government, nato member wants to send fighter jets, does that get a green light from the u.s. or you are afraid that that will

escalate tension? >> no, that gets the green light. in fact, we are talking about our poll learn friends right now about what we might be able to back phil their needs if in fact they choose to provide these fighter jets to the ukrainians. >> jesse: zelenskyy doesn't think warplanes are enough. is he still pleading for a no-fly zone over ukraine with nato continuing to shut it down. but voices in the west are greying louder for a no-fly zone. putin saying if that happens, it could be considered an act of war now we are hearing that the no-fly zone must be established over the territory of ukraine. but any move in this direction would be viewed by us as a participation in the armed conflict of whichever side whose territory would pose a threat to our service members. >> vladimir putin even threatened a nuclear response over a no-fly zone. i'm afraid we could be hurdling our snoostles a deadly war that

we can't stop. for years we have been dangling nato membership over ukraine's head actively flirting with them to join our alliance. as far back as 2009. biden was tempting ukraine with the nato offer. telling their then president that, quote: if you choose to be a part of the euro atlantic which i believe you have, then we strongly support that we do not recognize any sphere of influence. we do not recognize anyone else's right to dictate, to you or any other country. what alliances you seek to belong to. we signed up ukraine as the nato partner state a year ago. was that a good idea? we kept telling them a little more has to be done. you are almost there just clean up your corruption. then this november 10th it changed everything. the biden administration and ukraine signed a charter on

strategic partnership saying that the u.s. supports ukraine joining nato. putin saw this as a direct act against him. it was an assurance to ukraine that they're almost there and that their meeting, their criteria that had told them to meet. the agreement said the u.s. will, quote, elm if a sides unwavering commitment to ukraine sovereignty independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. including crimea and extending to its territorial waters in the face of ongoing russian aggression which threatened threatens regional peace and stability and undermines the global rule based order from move directly taunted putin. he was furious and accelerated his mobilization against his neighbor. did we have a plan for ukraine? what did we expect?

when they were this close to nato membership? well, we either didn't have a plan for a russian reaction, didn't think russia would react, or we're watching our plan play out right now. hillary clinton hinted at the plan last week. turn ukraine into a killing field bleed russia dry. listen. >> remember, the russians invaded afghanistan back in 1980, it didn't end well for the russians. the fact is that a very motivated and then funded and armed insurgency basically drove the russians out of afghanistan. i think that is the model that people are now looking toward. >> jesse: so what we are watching unfold on the ground in ukraine a horrible ground war that moves to a western funded

insurgency that after many, many years sends russia packing is the model. we're watching a proxy war. ukraine wanted biden to send them the iron dome missile defense system. this is the joint venture between the united states and israel. israel and the united states shot that down. the biden administration and the israelis said they didn't want to anger russia. didn't want to defend themselves be a no-fly zone. iron dome. so while innocent ukrainian families are dying. putin's forces are getting pretty run down, too. but we're buying russian oil. so we're funding both sides. why are we doing that? nobody wins here. ukrainian is becoming a graveyard. how did nobody in washington see this coming? or did they and they didn't do anything about it or perhaps

america would never have been able to stop the russian invasion? but it seems like we could have finessed ukraine situation a little bit better. because people are being slaughtered. nato is now mobilizing. the market is tanking. a recession is looming, and gas prices are now above 4 bucks a gallon. the american penal and the ukrainian people deserve better than this and we must not accept it. tulsi gabbard, former congresswoman and presidential candidate joins me now. congresswoman, that seemed to be a critical piece of paper we signed with the ukrainians in november, just a few months ago. basically saying, yeah, you're nato. you are on the way. you are getting there. you are close. did anybody in washington think that might have been a little prevokive? and i'm not blaming the americans for everything that russia does, i'm just saying it takes a little touch to handle a

buffer state like ukraine. don't you think so? >> yeah, jesse, you know, as you said there is so much devastation and incredible suffering that's going on in ukraine right now. the world needs to condemn russia for his actions. the thing here is that our leaders really have if u. attitude and they just don't care. we see this fu attitude at home. fu to parents who are concerned about what their kids are being taught in their schools. you know fu to americans who want to make their own decisions as it relates to their health and covid and then you see this same attitude and mindset also extending to their decisions on our foreign policy. basically going in and saying you know what? this is what we're going to do. any other country in the world and there is nothing that anybody can do about it. there is nothing anybody can do to stop us. and all of this just points to

the fact that they just don't care because, jesse, if they did, then before making these decisions, before taking these actions, they would stop and think for more than just a moment about what the ramifications and consequences of those decisions will be. who will they impact the most? how will they impact the american people? the people of these other countries. what will the cost be? is it worth it? what is our objective and what are retrying to accomplish? does it serve the best interest of our country? these are the things that they would be considering before they make these decisions and it's just clear to me that they're not. i look back to 1996. something that exemplified this f-u attitude and lack of care for people was when madeleine albright was asked about her reaction to the sanctions, u.s. sanctions policy against iraq that had killed 500,000 kids. and as you know, her response was chilling when she said it

was worth it. >> jesse: well, the biden administration is going to have to ask themselves this question. is this worth it? i looked at the market today when i came into work it's down, what, 700, 800 points. people are losing their jobs. people have to choose whether they are going to buy groceries or gasoline. oh, by the way, americans are possibly going to enforce a no-fly zone and thousands of innocent civilians are dying in ukraine. and it seems like we just hurdled ourselves into the situation right after a pandemic, tulsi. right when we are trying to recover from a pandemic. we are trying to keep our eye on china. trying to make sure the american people are healthy can work and can live. and now we are in a war in europe almost? and we can't afford anything. and we're facing a recession? >> do you think anybody thought

this through? >> it certainly doesn't seem like it or a more cynical view was that they did think it through and what is playing sought exactly what they had aimed for. the greatest tragedy in all of this jesse is that this devastation all of this suffering has he going on this could have been prevented had we had leaders who put the interest interest of people first. >> i agree. i agree. again, not our fault. but we're here. and we have to take responsibility for what we did. no doubt about that. thank you very much, tulsi gabbard. >> thank you. >> as the world watches ukraine burn, western nations are struggling over whether to throw up a no-fly zone. as we reported, it's iron dome would have accomplished that. but america israel refused to

deliver one last year. russia willing to defend ukrainian airspace. how do we neutralize the russian attacks on civilians? well, according to my next guest, you ready? the united nations security council has the power do something. i didn't know about this. general keith kellogg was the national security adviser to president trump and is the author of "war by other means." now, a lot of people are going to hear, this general, and they are going to think the united nations, they don't have a great track record of keeping people safe, keeping people alive. keeping people from going into other people's countries. so, how did they enforce a no-fly zone? and is that a good idea? >> yeah, jesse, thanks for having me. look, you are right. it's going to be a little bit of a stretch. zelenskyy asked for things. he asked for sanctions which he has gotten and a no-fly zone.

nighttime in favor of a nato no-fly zone. because it's a defense istanbul alliance. ukraine is not part of nato. once you put nato aircraft over ukraine, then you get an add investor tent fight between russian aircraft and american aircraft or british aircraft. and article 5 starts to come into play and attack on someone an attack on all. and get escalation. you got to start to think creatively. i don't know if it's a right idea or wrong idea. think out of the box like entrepreneurship always wanted us to do. can you go to the u.n. and say to the u.n., you know, you can have a u.n. no-fly zone. the problem you are going to run into is the veto power of both the russians and the chinese. but there is an article, article 27 which prohibits the conflicted party from vetoing. the problem you have in the u.n., because it's really an arcane system out there, you have got to double veto. and before you can get to a stanive issue. you have do to go through a procedural issue.

if the russians can veto the procedural issue before you get to the substantial issue. >> jesse: tied down in bureaucracy. >> it ends up getting somebody has got to start thinking creatively. think out of the box. put everybody in the world on record. put the chinese on record. you are part of this. economically, they are more dependent on us than they are with the russians. put a lot of pressure on everybody to got u.n., do that. if it doesn't work, go somewhere else. keep trying to be creative. continue to put pressure on the russians. i'm telling you, jesse, this is going to be a terrible week. you are going to see lot of civilian casualties this week. is he going to employ artillery and rockets and make some massive destruction in kyiv. kyiv is 2,000-year-old city and is he going to try to destroy it. >> jesse: he will. dana perino mentioned on the thy remember the axiom you are either with us or against us. we could do that with china and russia. we do almost 500 billion in

trade with the chinese. they don't do near any of that with the russians. we could either say you want to bank with us? you want to bank in dollars or euros or bank in the ruble. you know you, guys make a decision. that's a good point. also, let me run this by you, general watters, see if you think this is a proper idea. what if we started distracting the russians and made them a little nervous? what if we had the japanese stir up a little trouble on their eastern flank? what if we sent some naval assets into the black sea and say hey, you know, we are protecting turkey, our nato ally. what if we scrambled a few jets in the baltics or something, something to make the russians maybe think twice and take their eye off the ball a little bit. i don't think you can see this much more carnage day after day in ukraine. >> here is an example what you can do. we generally got between 5 and 6

ballistic missiles submarines the beamers at sea any one time. flush the whole fleet. every boomer. crew them and put them out there. look we are not ba proximate cause going to back off nuclear concern have you got go. all in. if he is -- let's see if he is really bluffing or not. and then his generals are going to be concerned. millie -- lloyd austin calling his counterpart and said you guys really want to do this but you have to become creative and put him on hits back foot. >> jesse: we're not being creative. we are ratcheting up sanctions watching, you know, ukraine turn into a morgue and you can't just day after day watch that and expect things to change. we got to again be more creative and i like the idea with the subs. you know, keep him thinking. keep them on their toes. thank you very much. general keith kellogg as always. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: really appreciate your expertise. vladimir putin's ties to the supernatural, you ready?

>> jesse: putin a cold calculated and ruthless killer. my next guest has met him 10 times and says putin has turned to mist schism and speaks with shahman. we did some digging to get to the bottom of this woe found this guy alexander dugan a russian ultra naturalist. he was tied to the underground occult the uzensky circle practice witchcraft, magic and dabbled in a little satanism. i bring this up for years russian journalists have called

dugan putin's brain and putin's favorite philosopher. apparently he was behind putin's invasion of crime i can't understand long called for a war between russia and ukraine. bbc interviewed him in 2014 and wrote the next step he proclaimed is military intervention in eastern ukraine. dugan believes the russian spirit has been reawakened by the separatist struggle there which he calls the russian spring. senior fellow with the atlantic counsel and author russian imperialism development in crisis dr. aerial cohen. i thought putin was a christian. what's going on here with these shaman, doctor? >> well, i think he is hedging his bets. putin goes to church the story about how he showed his baptism cross to george w. bush said his

grandma baptized him, blah blah blah didn't prevent him from going to the kgb, clearly. but the church is on putin's side the russian orthodox church that is. and despite the fact that the ukrainians be, a christian orthodox, the russians are busy killing them. i was on the phone with somebody in ukraine who told me that his worker future himself in front of his four kids trying to protect the kids from the russian soldiers who cogged think kalashnikov who said we are going oit kill your kids, we killed enough today, let them live. so horrible things happening in ukraine. mr. putin reportedly, i couldn't check the investor vas city of these reports, conferred with the shamans, believe it or not, and had a ceremony for the russian victory. interestingly enough, i met not

only putin, i met alexander do dugin 15 years ago. the guy is a creep. he basically compiled every nazi and fascist book and translated it into russian into his own words and published a whole bunch of books that are based on european fascism far, far right. there are others he -- pro-nazi philosopher, a russian from the 1930s. dugin became the favorite geo politician of the russian staff and i was shocked to find that his books were published by the russian general staff. adviser of the communist party in the russian parliament. these are really far out there people. really far out there. and that is dangerous.

>> jesse: i would say. i would say so. go ahead. >> when i met putin 8 years ago, this is a cynical guy. hates america deeply, deeply. hates the united states, and sort scask sense of humor. intimidates staff shaking intimidating bullying his own chief of foreign intelligence. he knew where he was. now i'm not so sure anymore. >> jesse: that's what happens when you run with the shaman, you just lose track of where you are. all right, doctor, that was enlightening and scary. >> or isolate yourself with covid for two years. >> jesse: yeah that could be. >> he could have quarantine brain. >> traumatic unbelievable. >> jesse: thank you very much for sharing with us. america is in the middle of this energy crisis and guess what kamala is talking about. >> we are also announcing funding for, yet, one of my

favorite topics, electric school buses. ♪ i scheduled with safelite autoglass. their experts replaced my windshield and recalibrated my car's advanced safety system. ♪ acoustic rock music ♪ >> woman: safelite is the one i trust. they focus on safety so i can focus on this view. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

>> jesse: gas price spiking higher than we have seen since hurricane katrina. what does the white house plan to do about that? peter doocy tried to get some of the answers today. really didn't go that well. peter, what happened? >> jesse, i did try to get some answers and we got a few very illuminating responses as the biden white house claims they are doing everything they can to limit the impact of rising gas prices. >> you say that you are going it do everything that can you to reduce the impact that high gas prices has on americans. we're asking other countries to think about maybe pumping more oil, why not just do it here? >> well, to be very clear, federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas. let me finish, to the -- let me finish. >> executive order halted new

oil and gas. >> let me give you -- let me give you the facts here and i know that can be inconvenient it's important. 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used. so the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate. >> it's not a suggestion, it is an executive order this president signed during his first week in office that pauses new leases for oil and gas drilling on public lands. and we know where this administration's priorities are long-term. it is not to drill more at here. it is what the vice president and the transportation secretary were talking about at an event on campus here today and that is electric vehicles. jesse? >> jesse: very illuminating. thank you so much, peter doocy. so we went from a net oil exporter under the prior administration to a net importer under joe biden. he shut down the keystone

pipeline, froze the drilling on federal lands as you just saw and smacked our refineries with a bunch of red tape and made it nearly impossible to build new natural gas pipeline. i blame you, america, because biden campaigned on this and you elected him. >> would you close down the oil industry? >> i would transition from the oil industry, yes. >> oh. that's a big statement that. >> is a big statement. >> that's a big statement. >> why would you do that? >> because the oil industry pollutes significantly. >> i see. >> here's the deal. >> that's a big statement. >> if you let me finish the statement. because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time. >> jesse: now americans are paying the price. >> i drive a dodge ram and it's costing around $100 right now to fill up. >> horrible. i decent living it's down. >> it's ridiculous. it's stupid. >> i'm trying not to drive as much as possible. >> kind of frustrating when you are putting, you know, $70 two

times a week into your tank just to -- so you can get back and forth to work. >> jesse: the average price for a gallon is over 4 bucks. it's only going to get more expensive as biden considers banning russian oil imports. and instead of buying fuel from other countries like saudi arabia and venezuela, why are we funding dictators? why don't we just tap into our own resources? we have enough oil and gas right here in america? to become energy independent again, all biden has to do is open up alaska. alaska has billions, with a b, billions, tens of billions of barrels of oil just ready to power the entire country. if only biden had the guts to stand up to the progressives in his party, remember anwar shut it down. summer driving season is around the corner, imagine memorial day, you have to make a decision, gallons or groceries.

we have to revive our fossil fuel industry. these people are useless. energy secretary granholm doesn't even know how much oil america ghiewms a day, listen. >> how many barrels of oil does the u.s. consume per day? >> i don't have that number in front of me. >> jesse: she is the energy secretary. she doesn't know that off the top of her head? meanwhile, our vice president is talking about her favorite topic. >> we are also announcing funding for yes, one of my favorite topics, electric school buses. >> jesse: perfect, perfect. and chuck schumer he only cared about gas prices when trump was president. here's what he said in 2018 when gas under trump was under $3 a gallon. >> president trump can take action today to help alleviate the pain at the pump for

americans. it's time for this president to stand up to opec on behalf of the forgotten man and woman he promised to remember. is he palling around with the sadies and will uae and other rich countries. why doesn't he ask them to lower their prices so that the prices at the pump can be lower? >> what action congress should take to lower prices? >> well, mostly the president has the cards and that's why we are pressuring him to do what is he doing. [laughter] >> jesse: today at that same gas station, gas is $1 higher. but we couldn't find chuck schumer there. wonder where he went? and i haven't heard him or any other democrat call on biden to do the right thing. stop paying dictators kings, and mullahs. for something we have every right to do here in america, which is drill and explore.

syndicated radio host dana loesch and david shocker, principle of the shork group. steven, we will start with you. this is basic math. why don't you think the biden administration is opening up what we have here at home? >> i think they're secretly on the market. jesse. it's amazing this administration is almost not fair. they can't make it any easier for the oil bulls. they're giving absolutely zero reason to self against this rally therefore when you look at the state of the union speech. what did we get same old renewable boilerplate path about renewables and spr piece i wrote an article for the daily mail back in november and one recently the piece was a political gimmick. it was not designed to lower gasoline prices and it didn't. in fact, since the november release, oil prices have doubled. apparently this administration

would rather talk to terrorists than texans. so we're going to iran give them a nuke deal. believe me they are going to get a lopsided deal on that side. now going to medora down in venezuela as if venezuela could actually respond. venezuela's once mighty oil sector is a shell of itself because of two decades of socialism. we would rather go to terrorists in iran or terrorists in venezuela which medora is asking them and yet to ask anyone in u.s. oil patch. 7,000 word state of the union speech we talked about spr release. did he not mention domestic oil and gas production once. is he beholden to a failed severe sum green energy agenda and at this point prices will be going higher. >> if they do go higher which they are going to 4.50, $50, what are the democrats going to say when they hit $5 a gallon?

>> yeah, there is nothing that they can say, jesse. this is infuriating. we watched this administration prop up one tyrant vladimir putin and now what is greg to dry too do the same thing with maduro. like watching oliver twist can i have some more crude? can i have some more? ridiculous to watch this. the rest of america has he been locked down for two years. people just want to take a vacation. they want to be able to afford, jesse, to drive to the grocery store much less purchase groceries in the first place. want to be able to afford to live regular lives. democrats could unhelp unleash domestic production they won't do it. you play this soundbite with jen psaki how 9,000 leases are laying there covered in dust. that's disingenuous argument from this administration that is try fog play on what they perceive to be ignorance of the american people. they are going to lie and cover their butts with this. this is like blaming big meat for the increw cross of

groceries biden inflation. 9,000 leases some of its coverage acreage, some of it covers other mineral rights, some of it maybe the oil has run dried. others are tied up in litigation because of the rare dongle fish which is not an actual animal just for illustrative purposes. e.p.a. fighting and plus bureau of land management has a number of leases just sitting there because they are going past their 30 day period, using red tape a as a way to stifle production. sanctioning american energy output but not russian energy output. i think it's time that this administration really explains to the american public, jesse, whose side they're really on. >> jesse: they're on the side of electric buses, dana. that is clear. that is what they are very serious about. >> sounds like a faulker prayer meet the parents every time she is talking about the feel like listening to gaylord faulker play. thank you as always. grifters love a good tragedy.

they play on our heart strings to separate us from our cash. and nobody is better than usual global tragedy to raise money than the clintons. may have been a while since you last heard from the clinton global initiative the fund for corrupted global and send millions of dollars straight into bill and hillary's pocket and besides a quick with blm they have been pretty quiet for the last five years or. so since their peak in 2016 where they raked in $63 million donations to the clintons have plummeted about 75%. and their operations basically shut off now things are different. hillary's name being tossed around for president so they need some cold hard cash. well, no better time than now. it looks like the clinton foundation is back up and running. one last grift. they are relaunching with a star

studded elitist global summit to address the war in ukraine. big announcement letter, bill clinton says, quote: democracy is under assault around the world. most glaringly in ukraine where russia has launched an unjustified and unprovoked invasion that has put millions of lives in grave danger. clinton global initiative has always been about what we can do not what we can't do. i'm not going to make a joke there. i'm sure bill and hillary will raise some money to help the people of ukraine but who says they won't help themselves a little, too. there is precedent. who could forget when they banked off the earthquake in haiti, remember the clinton foundation raised $20 million? through little llc that they created to help supply a seed shortage? it turns out most of that money just disappeared. clintons did it off the books. and it was untraceable.

so there is no way that they could miss out exploiting another foreign crisis. can't let a crisis like this go to waste. peter schweizer is the author of "clinton cash" and president of government accountability institute. i don't know, peter, i want to be fair, they probably have perhaps some good intentions in ukraine maybe get help to people who need it there i don't want to begrudge them of that it seems like when the clintons get involved, there is always side money, what are you thinking and what are you hearing? >> no, i think you are exactly right to be cynical, jesse. just rook at their history with russia and ukraine. you know, they're talking like winston churchill right now. when it came to vladimir putin, and clinton world getting paid by putin connected oligarchs, they were more like neville chamberlain. people forget this bill clinton got half a million dollars for a 20-minute speech from renaissance capital which was a

putin-linked investment bank. you have the clinton foundation taking money from oligarchs that were linked to vladimir putin. they were happy to do this even though putin had just recently invaded neighboring georgia. and then you look at, you know, other parts of clinton world, you look at, you know, her long-time campaign manager john podesta, he sat on the board of a small energy company called -- jewel energy investment fund. state government backed called putin's child because it's close to vladimir putin. they were very happy to take that money because it paid well. and it greased the skid for them. so you are right to be cynical and they're certainly going to be taking money from whoever will provide it now that they are relaunching the clinton global initiative. >> it reminds me of the biden family. they were over there getting rich in natural gas and ukraine

and then i believe hunter was going to put together some big deal between some chinese energy company and the big russian state-owned oil and gas company. i guess that fell through at the last minute, maybe hunter didn't have the numbers right. what is it about these democrat families just getting rich off these places and turning around and doing a 180 the very in connection with day? >> yeah, it's truly a dark thing, jesse. because, in both the cases of the bidens and clintons, they have taken money from both sides. i mean, clinton world was taking money from dmitry feartosh putin's guy in the energy world. taking money from victor pencruk oligarch pro-ukrainian. bidens same thing. they are taking money from pro-putin oligarchs like yolania at the same time you have hunter biden taking money from

ukrainian energy companies. >> jesse: you know, i guess you got to get it on one end and the other if you need to make ends meet and you know hunter has a lot of ends to make meet. peter schweizer, thank you so much for your investigative journalisms always. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: russia is making moves on a pivotal city in ukraine what could happen in the black sea that we don't see coming next? ♪ ♪ who said only this is good? and this is bad? i'm doing it my way. meet plenity. an fda -cleared clinically proven weight management aid for adults with a bmi of 25-40 when combined with diet and exercise. plenity is not a drug - it's made from naturally derived building blocks and helps you feel fuller and eat less. it is a prescription only treatment and is not for pregnant women or people allergic to its ingredients. talk to your doctor or visit myplenity.com to learn more.

>> jesse: now for an update following russia's advancement in the southern region of ukraine. we're going to go to the map with bill hemmer, host of "america's newsroom." i've been begging you to let me stand next to you with the map because i've some the questions. show me where the action is right down here in mariupol. >> this is mariupol.

there were talks rush it wasn't an loud and evacuation routes but most of them said forget about it. they're looking for evacuation routes that can take people out to the western part of ukraine. why is that? because of mariupol right now. this town is getting hammered. ukrainians described it as medieval times. the city of 450,000 people, the red cross believes at least 200,000 want to get out right now. there is no electricity. hospitals have said they have no medicine. they are operating sometimes without anesthesia. there is no phone service. people walking around the town asking do you know so-and-so who lived at so-and-so, are they still alive? so that is what is happening inside of mariupol. >> jesse: and they are moving west. on odessa. why is that so significant? >> it will be significant once they get to the town of 1 million people, one of the top five largest towns in the entire country. they are not there yet. they've been stymied right here.

and the pentagon said this today. this is about where they were on friday night so about 48 hours now not a lot of progress. they have made progress but over the last two days it has been what it is. >> jesse: can i take you to what i think i'm going to see in a year or so? if you take odessa and come over here to moldova that will fall fest. you have that proppants there with -- so they inflame little actions there and these mountains. turkey has invaded -- this invasion core door. this gap. how many times? a couple of times. they have to shut that off. that is where they are after. >> there is a section here that artie has at least 1500 russian troops. they have been there for years. maybe your theory serves true but i think what is significant on the battlefront tonight i will point to two areas. this little slipper right here,

that leads to another nuclear power plant. in the southern part of the country. just keep an eye on that. the other thing up here north and east of the capital city of kyiv, this is largely countryside. the russian army has moved pretty easily here. not a lot of resistance. once i got through this line. so they are moving toward the east of kyiv. the northwest side has been much more difficult. if i've a moment i will show it to you. capital city is known here. that bridge was blown up. two kids and two adults had by muscle trying to evacuate. absolutely absurd. about 16 miles from the capital center. that aaron bates is 20 miles. so it is north of the airbase? the convoy. it runs for 40 miles north. now i believe there are no tanks in this convoy, it is all supply mechanisms to help with the siege on kyiv. that's what we think the state of play is. >> jesse: thank you so much. excellent reporting. time for your task.

joe from colorado. gas prices are up. grocery prices are up. everything is up. somebody please wake joe biden up. from marilyn's. if the united nations cannot stop the slaughter in ukraine it has no value to the world. i think we knew that already. maggie, chicago. where is facui? good question for don't know where the doctor is. and danny from mississippi. didn't know there was that town. how about this. joe biden, his vp, his competence, and all members of congress do not receive a salary until inflation and gas prices are under control. i think that is a magnificent idea and it will never happen. karen, colorado. jessie, you should take one

workday and dress down. perhaps a hoodie and jeans. i can't dress like gutfeld. i have a reputation to uphold. wouldn't look good. plus my mom would kill me. that's it for us tonight.
