tuesday morning with trey yingst on the ground in kyiv where it is very early in the afternoon good afternoon trey in kyiv. >> good morning. we have disturbing news in the northern ukraine in the city where a reported russian airstrike overnight killed at least 20 people, including multiple children. rescuers are still digging through the debris at this hour looking for survivors from this strike. but it gives you a sense of the type of devastation the people of ukraine are facing it comes as people are trying to get out of the city. many people evacuating today and it's not just there. it's across this country. as the russian invasion continues, but, as you mentioned a defines ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy saying last night he is not planning to leave, take a listen. >> here is kyiv in the evening. stay here in kyiv. i don't hide and i'm not afraid of anyone. i will stay here as long as it's

necessary to win in our patriotic war. >> just outside the ukrainian capital of kyiv sits a town irpin. in this town about 60,000 people we were there two times over the weekend to see the destruction. these people are facing. four people were killed there on sunday in a russian shelling, but take a look at what the scene was like just yesterday as people tried to get out of harm's way. >> there is a large group of civilians now fleeing the city of irpin. they are holding a white flag to let the russians know they are not a threat and they are simply trying to get out of the city. >> feels like your life is broken forever and you have no hope. >> being they have been walking for miles, she tells us she tried shield the eyes of her young daughter as they passed bodies in the war torn streets of irpin. >> i will tell the world it's a disaster.

and it's dies many there in our town, many die, people just like on the street. >> in the distance, ukrainian soldiers crowchesd down, worried about russian snipers and shelling. they tell fleeing civilians to hurry and stay low. the evacuation for these people has become much more difficult as the russians fire mortar shells at this position. >> complex over there other end of city irpin. they destroyed everything. >> yesterday four people were killed as they left the suburb of kyiv. residents say russian troops pushed forward overnight and drove tanks through the streets. >> they told to us go because there is -- where we start to go our houses were [inaudible] >> russians say they aren't targeting civilian areas. today the sounds of war pierced. [sirens] >> as we are preparing for these reports we do background research on cities in towns in

ukraine. it's really sad sad to see what they looked like just a few months ago restaurants and culture and music and today they are consumed by war. back to you. >> steve: they're indeed. >> brian: still holding on. >> steve: tri trey, i noticed you talked to abulbasher in of those people under a bridge. for a lot of people on the move, under the bridge is about the safest place you can be when you are out in the open. >> yeah. absolutely. while we were talking to those people, the russians were firing morton shells at the location. they weren't trying to hit soldiers around there they were firing indiscriminately. as you saw in that piece more people were killed where we were standing just the day before. >> this is the type of situation that people around the country are dealing with it's not just shelling, it's cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, sniper fire. and remember the ukrainians, they're the ones who were invaded and now they are simply trying to get away. those who are staying and pledging to fight, they are picking up arms, asking the west for any equipment they can get and they are preparing for

battle. >> ainsley: trey, there was a family that was killed. are those the four that you are talking about the mom, dad and two kids? >> yeah. we understand it was a mother, two kids and then some sort of acquaintance that was with them trying to get out of this is i of irpin. and we there were the day before and we saw this area. we actually talked to the former ukrainian president, at the exact spot that the shell hit. the next day these people are killed. we got there the following day and there was blood still soaking the ground of thurken city. >> brian: trey, what about zelenskyy's decision to stay, tell everybody exactly where he is do. a tour of his headquarters. do network tv yesterday. today he is going to be addressing the u.k. parliament. what about that decision? you probably know exactly where he is. which means russians know exactly where he is. >> yeah, look, it was brave to openly say where is he located in a city that has been targeted with crews and ballistic

missiles. we met with zelenskyy last week and the process to get to that meeting was very top secret. we got a last minute location. check point got out of our car and ushered into waiting vans and taken to a location where the president was. then yesterday he was quite open about where is he located. the russians are trying to kill him. credible reports of hit squads trying to come into this capital city and take out the ukrainian president. part of the reason you saw reports over the weekend indicating that the united states and others are already looking at who could replace him if he is killed or captured. obviously that is a worse case scenario for the ukrainian people but a very real scenario amid war. >> absolutely. because we didn't show the whole video of where he walked into his office. you can see he is holding selfie sty camera. you know exactly where he is at. what it speaks to is not only is

he saying i'm not afraid of you, vladimir putin, but also he is speaking, trey to the fact that their air defenses are still intact. he must feel confident because i know there in ukraine today, ukraine officials claim that they have downed three russian jets just today and a cruise missile. obviously they're their air defenses are intact. they can take stuff out of the sky. >> yeah. the ukrainians have been pretty successful in shooting down planes and helicopters. we saw that report indicating that officials here believe they were able to shoot down three planes last night. we heard the air definition in the distance. this is very close to the capital of kyiv. they have been really trying to fire as much as they to get these planes out of the sky that are bombing different parts of this city and this country. it's one of the key things the ukrainians are asking for from the west. air defense systems. they say if they can control the sky, they are going to be able to hold their own on the ground. remember, there is a whole debate going on right now about the possibility of a nofdz over

ukraine. officials in the west, specifically the united states, have said this could be a disaster in dragging other countries to this already expanding conflict. but ukrainian president zelenskyy says if a no-fly zone is not implemented over his country, scores of civilians will die in this war. >> ainsley: all right, trey, thank you so much. swlels yesterday said is he asking americans for help. he talked to president biden. he said that he thinks that biden can do more and he is pleading for security in the sky. you have some americans that are saying why don't we just help? why don't we send our fighter jets over there. they need more help in the sky. mark levin speaks to that point. >> >> biden is a disaster. he is weak. is he not doing the things that are needed for the ukrainians to win. this is what is bothering me. why is it that the ukrainians have to lose? they want meigs 29s. that's what their pilots are used to flying. we and our allies can give them making 29s. they want some f-16s that they

have felony. flown it's our oldest jet most ubiquitous. we don't have to send american troops into ukraine and why do people think that this coward, putin, who is hiding on some bunker is going to use nuclear weapons? i don't get that if he was going to use nuclear weapons, he doesn't need us to provoke him. he is use nuclear weapons tomorrow. he is use whatever he wants tomorrow. he hasn't and he is not going to. first and foremost they don't want to die. they want power. bryan brian here is the thing with the meigs. evidently some problem with it now because we have to find the f-16s to replace the polish air force with. which they have ordered f-33s or f-35s that are coming next year. we could just park them there and do that now we are a little worried about getting the meigs because there are so many airfields blown up. we don't know where to put them. couldn't you give them, please

and stop worrying about. if you are not going to give a no-fly zone. and no missile defense at least let them use their pilots to pilot planes that are 20 years old to protect themselves against russian invasion. and also there was a deal offered yesterday which no one agrees to anything. no one believes anything they say. they say if the russian territory would just recognize the ukrainians the two break away regions in that -- in the donbas area as well as crimia, if you would just recognize that and the ukrainian military would stop shooting at us, dmitry pets cough says it. you can't invade country keep it invade and decide when it's over. >> to the point of how we are assisting them. we understand what they're referring to as a secret airfield near the border, 17 flights of weapons are arriving each day. the west so far has sent in 17,000 anti-tank missiles.

the pentagon says a majority of the $350 million in aid promised is on the ground there. now, there is one problem though. senior u.s. officials told abc news they are worried that russia might actually attack the supply chain that goes to ukraine, which is currently in poland. it sounds like they might -- they are anticipating some sort of an airstrike. >> ainsley: in poland? >> in poland by the russians. >> then nato would get involved. >> exactly. one thing regarding the russians, there was an extraordinary bit of video, i just saw. that is being broadcast in ukraine, and they have got a russian commander who was captured. and he was explaining in the tv statement what the russians were told as they came into the invasion. and when they were told is that kyiv had been overthrown by nazis and needed liberating. so that's why on the first day

when vladimir putin says he is going to be involved in the denazification of ukraine, we said what does that mean? that was his public statement so that those 200,000 people on the northern border would have the go sign, oh, the town is full of nazis let's go liberate them. >> brian: he said that publicly, it was farcical when he said it zelenskyy answered i'm ziewsh jewish, really i'm a nazi now? >> steve: the point is that's what they believe. the people in the tanks. ains ains that was the message. >> steve: the town is full of nazis. >> ainsley: vladimir putin controls state run h med. he tells them what to say. he shuts down the network and throws those people in jail and lord knows what whatever else he does to these individuals. they go over there and keep hearing from soldiers that are russian tied up with hands behind the back we thought we were going on a training mission. we thought this was a peace mission. we thought we were coming to

save the ukrainians from nazis that invaded their town. one guy text messaging with his mom. we heard ethics change right before he died saying she thought he was on a training mission in crimea. turns out he was there fighting ukrainians answered ended up dying but he said mom, i didn't know this was what i was going in for. >> 147 russian cities had protests. 13,000 have been arrested. evidently the moms are starting to get together and they're famously the ones when their outrage got too much famously that's why they left afghanistan. they are accusing putin of using their sons as cannon fodder in ukraine. what the russians have done is leave the bodies on the battlefield. the moms are actually calling into the ukraine who set up a hotline for russian and ukrainian soldiers to try to find out if their kid is alive still because the russians obviously don't care about their own people. they don't care about the ukrainian people. they are shooting children. and in fact targeting them. so, and when they get frustrated. they get even more irresponsible. and just wildly just bombing

cities. and that's what's worry is the good news is that the world is outraged by this action. and slowly but surely is isolating them economically which brings us to the other big story and that is oil. >> ainsley: yeah, we used to be energy independent. now we are dependent on countries like russia. we are funding this that sense. not only are we helping ukraine, but we are also eye oning the pockets of vladimir putin giving him so much money, making him wealthy, and we are funding what he is doing to these ukrainians in a sense because we shut down joe biden day one shut down the keystone pipeline, makes us dependent on russia now for oil. you are going to the gas tank in california and it's costing you over $7 a gallon. 100 bucks to fill up your car what teenager, what 20-year-old, what average american can afford that? >> steve: absolutely. when you look at the price of gas, by the way it went up 11 cents overnight. a year ago you were paying $2.77 a gallon.

a month ago, 3.46. a week ago, 3.62 and today $4.17. in the last-during the first week of the invasion, according to area deany research, gas jumped 41 cents. >> and they are now estimating that given the jump in gas, the average family, watching right now. will pay $2,000 a year more just in gas prices and $1,000 more given inflation with groceries. in other words, $3,000 is coming out of your possibility every year because of the high prices. and that is going to -- that's going to ripple across the country as people are waking up and going, ficialtion the problem with that people are cutting back on driving, they are watching their spending.

>> brian: we are number number one customer. if we want to isolate and really have russian people and the russian government feel the pain is we have got to sanction the banks financing all energy operations and we have to stop importing russian oil. the germans said that's a no go. we are getting 80% of our oil and gas from there. we are not going to do it. bull delawareia, austria, netherlands. finland, latvia and hungary get 100 percent of their oil and gas from russia. they are going to put themselves under extreme strain if they do this. you don't have to tell a eastern european country the danger of russian expansion look at collin grad weapons deep toe and how quickly they could take baltic nations overall. the question is, if we want to do the right thing and at least sleep at night knowing that we're not going to be spending

for 600 million barrels of oil a day -- 600,000 barrels of oil a gray russia. we have to get it from somewhere else. believe it or not, the administration is trying to rationalize to the american people going to iran and venezuela g.o.p. meeting with a country we don't even recognize the leader arrests the true leader of that communist marks ips oppressive rerah jet stream. so they have got to get it somewhere. their idea is to go to evil incarnate iran and venezuela. what an insult. >> steve: and what are we doing with iran right now? it sounds like we are reopening the nuke deal. so that would be okay, iran, give us some more oil, and we will give you your deal. and then they are also dealing with saudi arabia, and what happened in the last couple of days. >> ainsley: and venezuela. i don't know what the deal is with venezuela, but i know the deal with saudi arabia was we released back to saudi arabia from gitmo the so-called 20th

hijacker. coincidence? yeah, probably. but, nonetheless, there was a great headline in the daily mail yesterday. and it said that the administration would rather deal with terrorists than texas. peter doesy the white house correspondent said hey, jen psaki, why exactly has the administration taken this policy, given the prices are through the roof, here is the interchange. watch this. >> would president biden ever undo the border that stops the keystone gmpleted l gas line. >> are you suggesting that would stop the gas price issue. >> do you think thatting would effect gas prices faster than getting the whole country off of fossil fuels. >> i actually don't think it would. the keystone was not an oil field. it's a pipeline oil flow in through other means it would have nothing to do with the

current supply imbalance. >> you say that you are going to do everything that you to reduce the impact that high gas prices have 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 in the limiting the supplies of oil and gas. to the -- let me finish, let me finish. >> an executive order his first week that halted new oil and gas lease lease. >> let me give you the facts here -- and i know that can be inconvenient -- we are one of the largest producers oil and gas industry. we have actually produced more oil. it is at record numbers. and we will continue to produce more oil. there are 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used. >> ainsley: okay. so, she goes on to blame the ukraine invasion for the high gas price. let me remind her the ukraine invasion started 13 days ago. gas prices have been going up for the last year. >> steve: we just put up the

graph. >> ainsley: a year ago 2.77 a gallon. today 4.17 a gallon. $7 out in california. guess this keystone pipeline 830,000 barrels a day. guess how much we buy from russia, 670 barrels a day. keystone alone would have given the united states 160,000 more barrels a day and we buy from russia. >> brian: you go to north dakota, texas, you frac more it won't be an instant answer but frackers say we can't just ramp this up immediately especially they have to have some supply turn issues. if they knew things were coming down the line that would also affect the oil market and some experts have said this could go up to $200 per barrel make pipelines, want to spend the money, get the financing to take the risk to drill in those lands and know what it takes to get the permits and know how hard it

is. shear a little of their answer to jen psaki. >> this represents a fundamental misunderstanding as to how this process works. first you have to actually discover whether there actually is oil and gas in that land. the white house certainly doesn't have their facts straight on this. >> that accusation is a complete red herring and it's really a distraction from the fact that this administration has paused leasing on federal land. these leases take many years to explore, to develop, and to produce on. >> permits are viable and some are not. but right now the moratorium on leasing certainly just adds an additional -- it's an additional block to american energy production. >> we need stop the rhetoric, this anti-fossil fuel and we need some clarity kind of in a regulatory sense that this administration is behind domestic production of energy. >> brian: something else, they're pressuring the banks and finance companies to and mutual

funds to not put energy stocks in people's portfolios because of pressure from green groups. the environmental groups and the current government. how bad is that? so here we are in a free market economy where we are trying to maximize profits. and they say well, can you do that in anything, but i don't want you spending on fossil fiewlts, how dare you. these are american companies in many cases. >> ainsley: buy an electric car. they start at $60,000. yes they are cool. you have to plug plug them. in not only can most families not get a car or used car right now but they are expensive. >> brian: fueled by coal. >> steve: right, exactly. going back to those experts talking a little bit about how disingenuous the answers from the administration are keep in mind, the administration probably would like us to be paying $10 a gallon so that people would drive cars less. it's all part of their very ambitious climate change and global warming policy. and so what peter was talking about and what those people were

talking about in that montage, the biden administration on day one, did something. his first day, joe biden jacked up the climate cost estimate during the trump years it was $7 per ton and biden jacked it up to $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions. recently in the month of february, a louisiana federal judge sided with a group of republican-led states the judge said the president did not have that authority to change that particular rule, it violated federal law, and so now the biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas leases. >> here's what i know. >> steve: thank you very much serrie. and one other thing i would like to say is that going forward it sounds like an them politico this morning that says that exxon is going to step up and try to drill 100,000 more gallons of barrels a day. that's going to take a year. >> brian: here is senator dan

sullivan from an oil state of alaska. where they cannot drill anwar. >> ainsley: they want. to say they are waiting on. >> brian: believe it or not, it was in the trump tax reform bill that passed. listen. >> yeah. it's not truthful, right? it's not truthful at all from. day one, day one, this administration has been hell bent with their anti-american energy holy war to shut down the production of american energy sheesmght knows that right? it's delaying leases. look, you can get a lease and then they delay the permits for you to be able to do seismic and do work on it and in alaska they delayed the ability to get a permit for an ice road which is how we go and do exploration on these leases. so day one, they have been focused on killing the production of american energy and the white house press secretary is not telling the truth. >> steve: had joe biden not

pulled the plug on keystone the first day we would be over one year closer to it being completed. >> brian: white house press secretary not telling the truth by a gray an oil state that knows i imagine jen psaki. >> ainsley: ban on russian oil. 71 percent said yes. quinnipiac university. that's republicans, that's democrats. >> brian: even if it means higher gas prices, seven out of every 10 americans according to quinnipiac would be for paying more money in gas to not have russia blood oil on their hands. for some reason joe biden is dragging his feet. >> carley: jen psaki repeatedly said yesterday is there are 9,000 unused gas leases, kept on saying that to peter doocy. >> ainsley: that's what dan sullivan was saying in the fall. >> >> carley: the reason these companies aren't drilling on that federal land is because they feel like they can't build the pipeline. the oil and gas industry is caught up in so much regulation right now that there is no point

the biden administration is just going to shut them down. we have three more years with them that's the response to what jen psaki repeatedly kept on saying. >> brian: only thing we can do is tell the truth true story and let the american people decide. >> carley: exactly. turning to headlines now. starting with something steve you just mentioned a guantanamo bay prisoner suspected of trying to join the 9/11 hijackers has been sent back home to his country. mohammed ahmed was detained in afghanistan after he was turned away from the orlando airport in 2001. the move drawing backlash from many 9/11 families and members of the g.o.p. he is the second bring releasedd releaseguantanamo: truckers ine people's convoy bringing traffic to a crawl yesterday as they took the protest to the roadway minimum speed.

trump? miranda devine. the same person who authored "atlanta from hell" can can you believe they are blaming trump. >> very rich irony to hear adam schiff from all people accuse donald trump of turning ukraine into a play thing. you know, he and his party used ukraine as a play thing to get rid of donald trump in the impeachment for making one phone call to president zelenskyy and what donald trump in clumsy fashion was trying to do was to get to the bottom of the corruption in ukraine to do with -- vice president then biden, and his son hunter. do thedemocrats think that we he forgot than joe biden when he was vice president boasted about forcing the ukrainians to

basically fighter prosecutor looking into the company burisma, this corrupt energy company that was paying his son hunter $4 million, are we supposed to forget that he withheld a billion dollars worth of aid from ukraine until they fired that prosecutor? talk about a play thing. >> brian: right. >> the democrat are unbelievable. >> brian: fiona ohio massacre raids as a states person said this on sunday. president trump critical time withheld military assistance to ukraine that was desperate for it basically to get zelenskyy to do him a personal favor is that an accurate portrayal of what happened? was that critical time two years before any type of action? >> well, look, much more critical time was when joe biden went into a very vulnerable ukraine just after the maiden

revolution and was lecturing them about corruption every time he flew in vice president relying on for a lot of taxpayer money from the united states, at the same time, his son son paid $38,000 a month by this corrupt energy company. and yet when the ukrainians took joe biden at his word, and started investigating the corruption at that energy company, he got the prosecutor fired. this is -- the prosecutor was like the attorney general of ukraine. >> brian: miranda, so maddening, so crazy. after the taken crimea and donbas region they withheld all lethal aid. donald trump gave it to them. i didn't love what he was doing with rudy giuliani there. no one supports that but, in terms of who got who ready for the war, president trump got them ready to fight the war. he gave them blankets and mres after military action. and that's what you point out in your column. >> exactly.

president obama and joe biden gave them blankets. they didn't give them lethal aid. they refused. to say it was only when donald trump came in he gave them those javelins and stinger missiles that are doing so well now. >> brian: miranda devine thanks so much. all in your column and more details in your book hospital laptop from hell. >> carley: a shooting at a high school. they think the gunman came from a passing vehicle. not from someone on the ground or in the school. officials also saying they do have multiple suspects in custody but have not said if charges have been filed. the department of defense is asking the supreme court to restore its to ability stop unvac said navy seals from deploying overseas. this after a federal judge in texas told the department in january they could not stop the

san antonio steve wheat prices $8.94 per bushel yesterday highest level since 2008. this as wash's war on ukraine insteps phiing threatening the so-called bread basket of europe. what it means for producers and consumers north carolina farmer brooks barnes. you know, i'm from kansas.

used to be in the future farmers i have never seen prices like. this steve, i haven't either. it's a welcoming sight, three or four months ago i was wondering if i was even going to be able to come out on my wheat crop. enough to i think we are pretty much sitting in the driver's seat as long as mother nature cooperates with us and gets us through the finish line here we can have a good harvest. >> steve: that's right. it's so refreshing that finally america's farmers are getting a break with these high prices. unfortunately, a lot of people don't realize farmers like you sell their wheat before it's harvested. you will harvest in june and there is a futures market. that means you lock in a price ahead of time, right? >> we have the option sell on futures market or wait until the crop comes out on the field. wheat is traded publicly every day kind of like stocks are. when we as farmers see profits, we tend to lock in a profit.

and we just have to be careful that we don't overbook our crop because if we don't the coal come up with the amount of bushels that we have contracted then we have to buy that contract out a lot of times. would he have -- i book my crop on a really conservative number as far as bushels. i'm hoping i have more and i should have more. if mother nature cooperates at all. that's not a guarantee. i do have my wheat locked in at a profitable level and that was something i didn't see it happening a few weeks ago. >> steve: that's right. and the thing about the futures and the way you operate is the good years make up for the bad years because there are always bad years. brooks, what do you have to tell the american people about how their prices for bread and stuff like that is going to be impacted? >> well, it just depends, i think, steve, i that i completely depends on how long this war in ukraine lasts because, you know, i was talking about my broker yesterday, and just, you know, closed 1.94 last

night. i think you just said that a minute ago. and i was looking at this yesterday myself. i was talking with my broker yesterday. and it doesn't seem that if i have wheat in the bin right now that i could even sell it because a lot of the buyers are completely off the market right now which means that you know that our end suppliers are betting that the market is going to come back down some, which means they have a little bit of inventory. in for the american consumer, that would be, you know that would be most beneficial because, you know, if wheat stays like it is and they have to buy wheat at high prices then we are definitely going to see prices continue to rise at the grocery store. >> steve: all right, brooks banners, thank you very much for explaining the american farmer's point of view with these prices thank you, sir. >> thank you, buddy. >> steve: ukrainian boy hailed for his courage traveling 600 miles with a message on his hand.

day. defiant saying he is not going anywhere i'm talking about zelenskyy. we begin our coverage with treyy yingst on the ground in kyiv. hey, trey. >> good morning. disturbing news overnight. local media reports indicate at least 20 people were killed in the knowledge ukrainian town of sumy overnight. cities along the russian border as thousands of people each and every hour are trying to get out of harm's way you see in video here the evacuation of citizens from sumy. it's not just there in the north it's across this country. we have seen it in the south and central part of ukraine just outside the capital of kyiv. a fire oil depot started yesterday following shelling. fire, death and destruction as the russian forces continue to push deeper and deeper into this country. russian helicopters are were

seen in new video yesterday. they are also being used but ukrainian air defense is trying to take some of those out of the sky. it's a very volatile situation since yesterday they have shot down three planes over the capital of kyiv and today volodymyr zelenskyy once again doubling down saying he plans to stay in the city and fight on behalf of the ukrainian people. take a listen. >> here is kyiv in the evening. i stay here in kyiv at vancova street. i don't hide and i'm not afraid of anyone. i will stay here as long as it's necessary to win in our patriotic war. >> you hear zelenskyy there overnight basically giving out his location to russian forces, and he is under threat. we know there are credible reports of hit squads coming into this city. trying to take out the ukrainian leader. and he is number one, according to reports on the russian target list as those forces try to enter the ukrainian capital. back to you.

>> steve: trey, it's interesting because you were talking about the 20 people who were killed in sumy. sumy was announced as one of those humanitarian corridors yesterday. they blew up those people knowing that today they are going to be running for their lives. president zelenskyy said this morning that these humanitarian corridors are just a pr stunt because what happens is the russian troops put landmines along the corridors and then they blow up the buss that are supposed to take people places. >> yeah, a p.r. stunt would be a nice way to put it it's ridiculous what the russians are claiming they are offering to the ukrainian people. yesterday, they put forward an idea for an evacuation plan but most of the routes led ukrainians into russia or into belarus. the countries that are being used as staging grounds to launch. land mines in the southern city of mariupol.

faced with this difficult choice do. they try to flee their city under fire from the air and the ground or do they stay put? either way, he this are in harm's way. and that's the reality on the ground. the russians continue to say they aren't targeting civilian areas. we have seen it with our own eyes, would our cameras. we very captured the evidence. they are. people are dying in streets the ukraine. noncombatants are dying and the ukrainian people, millions of them are at risk as this invasion continues. >> brian: the other thing, trey, i heard is some speculate that as horrific as these hits are on innocent people, and the corridors are being breached by russians who are ignoring it. could it be that the communication is so terrible between moscow, between the south and the north that they aren't each communicating with each other on what is actually happening. >> it's difficult to tell how much the russians are commune

case internally. but this is certainly a play out of the russian's playbook. they routinely, in other areas of the world, syria, for example, will heavily bombard civilian areas, try to push out the civilians and be able to move in their troops or the choops that they support. it's exactly what we are seeing in large population centers like kharkiv, the second largest city and kherson in the south and mariupol and starting on the outskirts of kyiv as our cameras captured yesterday. the russians know what they are doing. they know they are killing civilians, while they are waging this massive disinformation twoor try to tell the world they aren't. we see it on the ground people are dying putin is saying we will let you out russia. we will make a corridor to come into our country; is that true? >> yeah. absolutely true. yesterday, the proposal that they gave to the ukrainians the majority of the routes led to

russia romania or poland, for example. those are the locations that ukrainians who are gathering in mass at the train station here in kyiv, that's where they are trying to get to the western part of this country and then ultimately if they can across the border. the u.n. says millions of people have fled already and that number is expected to rise. but, you figure when people leave this country, i mean we see the images and you see the devastation, tans decision that families have to make. do you pick up one bag, take your entire life with you, and head west in a direction for many people they have never been and then just wait it out not knowing if you will ever see your family again. that's the decision they have to make. >> brian: 2 million people have decided to make that decision. trey, thanks so much. >> ainsley: thanks, trey. i talked to a polish lady yesterday and she is heading over there to help her country. she lives in america. she is taking a lot of money. socks and underwear for the kids that are in the orphanages. she talked to this one orphanage

she plans to visit. they had 200 children arrived yesterday. one little baby had a noted on her that said please take care of me. you can, my mother cannot. >> steve: it's heart breaking. meanwhile, how is it impacting you? well, among other things, gas prices reaching a new record high in the united states. and the white house is warning there will be a long road ahead with little relief as the russian invasion of ukraine continues. >> brian: overnight shell oil pulling out of russia tons of discounted crude oil. >> ainsley: jacqui line irish joins us live with the energy crisis. >> jacqui 4.17 today. it was 2.77 a year ago. >> those numbers are just unbelievable. good morning, ainsley, steve and brian. as you mentioned, shell last night really pulled a 180 from last week when we saw them buy all that cheap russian crude. saying that was the wrong decision, apologizing for it. and announcing that they're severing ties with all russian

energy in a phased manner. and now with more private companies, you know, cutting off russian energy and even nancy pelosi taking a reasonable doubt hear line against russian oil and gas than joe biden it's a wonder the white house has held out this far. still no decision on whether the white house is going it be making some sort of directive to ban russian oil. a quinnipiac poll shows the majority of americans by the way support a ban on russian oil. even if it means higher gas prices in the u.s. 71% saying that they would support that and that's despite the national average for a gallon of regular hitting 4.17. >> up 277 a year ago. according to a.a.a. on average it is costing the average household an additional $2,000 a year in gas costs and that's on top of the extra $1,000 people are already spending because of inflation on things like groceries, the white house does not believe they have any tools to bring down prices by ramping up domestic production.

>> biden executive order that stops the construction of the keystone xl pipeline? >> are you suggesting that would solve the gas price issue? >> well, do you think that would maybe affect problems faster than getting the whole country off of fossil fuels? >> i actually don't think it would. snree has repeated the assertion producers are sitting on 9,000 leases. the president of the petroleum institute told fox business policies instituted by this administration including a ban on federal lands and waters is what is truly discouraging ingestment. talking to iran, venezuela how they might be able to step in and address this crisis. those conversations are also raising a lot of eyebrows. back to you guys. >> steve: jacqui, level get this straight. the white house is talking to saudi arabia, iran, and venezuela about bailing us out because administration has not

inclosed oil production. >> that's correct. all the while we are trying to make sure iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon with russia at the table for those conversations. think of that what you will. >> steve: exactly. why would we trust the people in saudi arabia or venezuela or iran as much as we trust putin? we shouldn't trust any of them. >> that is the case that a lot of people are making actually on both sides of the aisle i have heard it you can leadership the white house facing a lot of pressure on that front. >> brian: lirp outrage to a degree. senator menendez outrage recognize venezuela at all we don't recognize their government. number two from the house and senate to get us off russian oil right away. you have got to wonder if the president is going to try to get ahead of this or get swamped by it, jackie, whether a do you think. >> he is definitely getting squeezed. if he doesn't move congress is going to force him to move. that's a calculation that the white house is going to dr. to make. i think what they are wrestling

with is if they cut off russian oil and gas, and then price goes up even further do they get any credit for cutting off russian gas or do they get slammed for the increase in prices and when they don't want to alienate their base and reverse some of these environmental policies ramp up domestic production they are in sort of a pickle, also, these green renewable energies they want to get the country on to are not instant fixes. >> brian: they are not ready. >> then you have got kamala harris and pete buttigieg only yesterday talking about electric vehicles and people slamming that as tone deaf given what we're hearing right now. >> you are getting ahead of our talking points. how dare you read our run down. come on, jacqui, you can't give everything away. >> ainsley: she teeds it up for us. >> steve: to your point though as we just saw pete buttigieg and kamala harris, they are on the campus of the white house yesterday, you know that express

never let a crisis go to waste. on the day of the highest gas prices we have seen in a very long time. what do they do? they announce now is a good time to buy an electric car. also announced investment in public transportation and buses run by electricity that is produced predominantly by coal all across the country. >> ainsley: charlie gasparino from fox business. guess how these electric cars are made cobalt. where do we get the co-3w589? from china. of course we all want to go zero emissions we all care about the environment. when you are paying $7 in california and more actually than that to fill up your gas tank, that's one gallon. so expensive in california. 100 bucks to fill up your gas tank in california what do you care about when you are spending $3,000 extra a year on gas it's expensive. most families can't afford that. >> steve: one of the other elms that is used to make batteries, obviously they are pushing

electric cars, which good luck trying to get one. afghanistan price'10" thousand dollars more than average car. two hours ago on the london trading exchange they stopped trading nickel because they are thinking that it if the united states sanctions nickel, the prices are going to go up. yesterday the price of nickel in the world went up 75 percent. >> ainsley: a lot of our nickel comes from ukraine where russia is taking over the black sea area. >> brian: looking at what is going on in the real world, that is gas and oil, which the world needs, it was gone back and forth we should increase domestic production. and then while one example is do the keystone pipeline. jen psaki says it is not even done it, will take years to get that online and for that to happen, that won't really affect any prices.

keystone thousand barrels of gas a day. >> ainsley: 380 even more. >> brian: 830. as opposed to what we are getting from russia 600 and 700,000. and when she came back and said when it comes to domestic production. you got all these leases out there that are undeveloped. tell these oil and gas companies to start dig on the leases they already have. steve milloy is an expert on the area. a former e.p.a. -- what was on the e.p.a. transition team for president trump. he said this about the real world as opposed to the one jen psaki pretends to be in? >> yeah, there is a lot of canadian oil coming through lots of pipeline keystone would bring in more oil faster. that's really what we need. i have got to say it's not just the keystone xl pipeline. the biden administration right now in violation of a federal court order has put a hold on new federal oil and gas leases. i hear jen psaki talking about well, the oil companies have

9,000 leases or something like that that they are not using. you know, the oil companies use the leases that produce and make sense economically. just because a lease has been issued doesn't mean that it's worthwhile producing right now. it all depends on the nics. you know, what joe biden should be doing is unleashing our oil and gas sector, forgetting about the climate agenda we are not accomplishing anything anyway. emissions going one no end in sight. people cannot afford gas prices at this high. it's going to cause even more inflation which another thing joe biden doesn't really care about. >> ainsley: after jen psaki said that. some energy experts were interviewed at the sarah week energy conference. they said her comments about the leasing misleading a red herring. they said biden has paused leasing on federal land and caused a lotted of concern. jen psaki said if we open up the keystone pipelinenot going to lower price the. doesn't make sense. if we open up a huge pipeline and not bringing oil into the

united states and could bring in 380,000 barrels day. open it up. open it up so we don't depend on other countries. even like you suggested it's temporary do it for six months to get the oil prices down and figure out a better solution. >> steve: absolutely. since day one, the biden administration has had an energy policy regarding the climate. they are not going to let this incursion by russia into ukraine impact their goal. ultimately, but what right now gas is 4.17. what if it's 5.17. what if it's 6.17. >> ainsley: they are saying it will be by the end of the month. >> steve: they are saying a barrel of oil 200 bucks at no time. we will have to put our climate agenda on hold for a litigation while and get the u.s. energy production up and running. >> brian: and convince europe to get off the oil because they get a lot of oil and gas from russia than we do. meanwhile, straight ahead. lawmakers are pushing for russian energy forced to be banned as we have been discussing.

steve as the war in ukraine continues calls to ban russian energy around the globe are growing louder our next guest just returned from a bipartisan trip to poland right along ukraine's border and is working on a bill bipartisan bill that would block the oil imports to the united states. congressman brian fitzpatrick is the co-chair of the congressional ukraine caucus and a former fbi agent stationed in ukraine. he joins us right now from d.c. congressman, what did you do for the fbi in ukraine?

>> good morning. >> mainly russian counterintelligence cybersecurity to assist building up ukraine cyber border, cyber walls to make sure that they were not being victimized by the russian regime. >> steve: well then you know exactly how russia operates. how close did you get? how far did you go? >> to the border. >> steve: what did you see? >> on our trip, yeah, we were right on the ukrainian border. it was absolutely brutal, steve. we were on the ukrainian side of the border seeing the ukrainian men most of them ages 18 to 60. not permitted to leave the country, who had to say goodbye potential already for the time time to their wives and children. important to note there is between 12 and 15 million ukrainian men between ages 18 and 06 not allowed to leave the country. they don't want to leave the country. they want to go back and fight. it's just one more instance

vladimir putin could be creating an entire generation of widows and orphans, it's heart breaking. >> steve: of course. we have been talking here on this channel for over the last two weeks now about how the united states is an importer of russian oil. i think 7% of our imports come from russia tell us about your bipartisan bill to get us off russian oil. >> this should be easy. myself and joe manchin bipartisan camera bill. even nancy pelosi says she agrees with the concept. whether we agrees with our language we will find out. we shouldn't be sending one dime to russia for oil or anything else for that matter. every dime we send to them is funding vladimir putin's murder machine in ukraine and that region. >> steve: sure, i'm sure you heard from the white house yesterday their rationale for not increasing production here in the united states. >> makes no sense.

the subtext we are seeing go on in russia and ukraine in that region is energy. the reason why putin is doing what he is doing. he uses energy as a weapon. and there were certain countries, particularly germany and many countries in europe thought that they could engage in contracts with him to get cheap energy now they are seeing the cost of that for the first time you are seeing germany bump up military spending to over 2% of g.d.p. which they're required to do under their nato agreement. now they are finally waking up to that but here at home we have got to open up the pipeline. we need democracy to be supporting europe's energy needs not dictatorships. >> steve: sure. speaking of dictatorships. congressman i'm sure you heard apparently the united states is asking saudi arabia, who we just gave the 20th hijacker back to from gitmo in the last week or two. saudi arabia, can you give us more oil? can you pump more soil in venezuela, can you pump more oil?

hey, iran, we know you want that nuke deal, how about more oil? there is a headline in the daily news that said why is biden choosing terrorists over texans. we could produce the oil here in the united states in texas and oklahoma out in the west and alaska if joe biden would let them. >> this is common sense. a 3rd grader could decide that we need all the energy independent in america but largest energy exporter to europe so they don't need to rely on russia or saudi arabia or anybody else. everybody knows the answer to this, steve, it's politics pure and simple, it's blocking this administration from doing the right thing. >> steve: meanwhile the administration says they need more money for covid. here is jen psaki on friday making that plea. watch. >> we need additional funding from congress to secure more

medical splice. keep this country moving forward. let me be very clear, this is an urgent request. by may our current supply of monoclonal antibodies will stock out. by july current supply of preexposure prophylactic drugs used to protect immunocompromised people will stock out. >> steve: there is an effort to tie funding to covid to ukraine or something like that. is that what is going on? >> i sure hope not, steve. we talked about this the bipartisan group that was over on the ukraine border. we all said this that we hope to god that leadership does not try to pull some stunt to hijack ukraine who is in desperate need of both military and humanitarian assistance and somehow tie that to some other bill that they otherwise couldn't get across the finish line. we will find out when we get the language today. >> steve: he is just back from the region brian fitzpatrick of the great state of pennsylvania. sir, thank you very much. >> thanks.

are saying, when you hear what the russian soldiers are saying when they're captured, they all say that they are duped into this, what does that say about putin? >> actually it's saying that putin is trying to keep his regime and is he trying to protect himself. so, the many of the ukrainians protecting their lands and actually from russia that for many of the soldiers which was a shock. but now point and stress here that putin is trying to protect himself. is he taking no care about ukrainians, and about the russians in this war. >> ainsley: american soldiers go to fight. they know what the mission is they know why they are there. they know why they are sacrificing so much for this great country. but when you hear russian soldiers are going over and they are being told that ukraine is being invaded by nazis, they get on the ground and they realize that's not true. does it say that putin doesn't care about his soldiers?

>> no, definitely. we can say that russians for many years have this propaganda and the image of the enemy. so, ukrainians are enemy right now before it chechens were enemy. chechen were enemy in different times. that's all about russian propaganda to keep in putin's regime. >> ainsley: professor, you say this is not a war. you say this is terrorism. explain that. >> yeah. that's true. because we see right now killing of civilians, and 2 ghourntion ukrainians and including children that are killed. and this destroys of the eastern end of ukraine. this is nothing about war. this is actually the act of terrorism that we have seen previously in georgia and chechnya. >> ainsley: where are you located right now? >> i'm located in western part

>> brian: vladimir putin's nuclear threat sparking fears of

world war iii across the globe. our next guest recently got a top secret look at government warehouses used to you respond to things like bioterror attacks that is featured in brand new book out this week called -- today, right? >> today. bribe brian the lightning rod he joins us with more. brad, so you are studying all of this in case of a catastrophe. we were in the middle of a pandemic we didn't seem too ready for that are we ready for this. >> that's amazing did i the secret tunnels below the white house. the labyrinth below the capitol. i love taking people into these places. the government, this is all real, the government has a dozen cop secret warehouses hidden all across the country that are ready for bioterrorist attacks. it means if there is an attack in california in texas, in florida, idaho, wherever you live, within four hours, anthrax, small pox, they have an anti dote on your doorstep. i was like you are telling me they have secret warehouses all

across the country? i want to go inside there the final scenes of the book that go inside the warehouse, i didn't make up what's this there. it's really there it's there because we need to prepare in case there is a disaster that does happen. >> brian: is this from 9/11 or prior to that? >> you know, there used to be before we worried about bioterror we worried with nuclear war. the situation we are in suddenly of course right now. and out of that, a government employee named steve bice said we should be prepared for bioterrorism. and that's what saved us in 9/11. when anthrax hit after 9/11 in new york and d.c., remember those incidents, it was this stockpile, this strategic national stockpile that was really born and grown out of that incident that kept us safe. and i was like to i have to take readers into that. >> brian: we weren't ready for this virus though. we -- because obviously there was no vaccine to get ready for it. >> right. this stockpile deals with whether it's obviously the virus that has masks and ventilators now. and multiple administrations.

trump, obama back to bush were told over and over don't just worry with a bioterror attack. worry about something like this virus. we didn't listen. we weren't ready and obviously now we have restocked and of course are. >> brian: now it seems we fear got the cold war and mutually assured destruction and vladimir putin got very close to a couple of nuclear power plants, a second one yesterday. are we ready for a nuclear attack? >> no one is ready for a nuclear attack. the one thing the government learned when they studied it back in the 1950s and 60's is they had operation high point which is where the president goes and hide him in secret. they also had operation low point which is what happens to you and i. what about to the average citizen? do you know what they figured out? we are in trouble. >> brian: louisville. we are doomed. how do you convince these people to give you this access? >> i started researching this book five years ago. and it let -- no one cared about the stockpile. they're like yeah, come, in you can show your readers this mystery, thrillers, all the fun. but then obviously covid hit and all the doors shut. i just happened to get there and

had unprecedented access to it because i got there five years ago. >> brian: maybe before the pandemic people said well that will never happen. people are very aware and attuned into being ready should something happen and hope the government has our back. good news is in certain circumstances they do. and it's all in your book the lightning rod. >> you will see it. the book opens i will tell you with an amazing murder of a valet who takes someone's car keys and breaks into the guys who is driving's house. when he gets inside it's not a robbery at all. it's a trap. finds something hidden on the body that no one else sees and leads to one of the government's closely garden fiction. it's fiction, a murder miss individual but you are in for just an amazing ride. >> brian: all right. and crime is running rampant in this country. that could be the first crime that happens. bret, congratulations i'm sure it's going to be a success as usual. you haven't met her yet, have you cancerly shimkus? >> have not. >> brian: she is a wonderful person who is going to do the news now just to impress you. >> carley: i really appreciate that brian. we are following another story

is that number behind you a gas price or a zip code? [laughter] >> that's a great question. yes. that is what it costs here in california. 6.29 for a gallon of diesel, and you know we hit a record high here in california every single day. that's nothing new. but it's particularly alarming when it comes to diesel and that's because some call it the canary for inflation. the natural average for diesel prices jumped 74 cents from just a week ago and that's 9-cent below the record high shut in the summer of 2008. that's 58% higher than a year ago. let's be honest, right? who when we go the to pump we ignoring diesel it's important that's what commercial trucks run on. most are 200 to 300-gallon. truckers were paying $899 to fill up. now that's spiked to $1,425. take that in a second. right? and that comes when that total cost roughly $40 from. consumers are next day

expectations. >> diesel fuel could hit nationally an average of $5 a gallon. that will be directly reflected, you know, it's an inflationary pressure in the price of goods that consumers are buying. everything from your toothpaste to buying your quarter of strawberries at the store. >> that's why diesel is an a canary for inflation. when truckers pay more it carries down to supermarkets, manufacturers that hits consumers at the store. the war in ukraine doesn't just affect us when we go to the pump it's coming into our grocery stores and whatnot with the rising costs. joe told me truckers are now calling for change in our national energy policy. drill more here so they are not paying as much at the pump. i love that comment you meant is that a zip code? sadly it's not. team? >> steve: no kidding. gas up for 500 bucks for the average trucker, kelly, thanks

very much. >> brian: affordable mass transportation in california. >> ainsley: i mean, i thought $100 more for the average american's gas tank is expensive but if you are a trucker $1,425. >> steve: how is this going to impacted you? experts predict surging gas prices inflation will leave the average american family at least $3,000 less in their pocket to spend as you can see 2,000 on gas, 1,000 on groceries, 3,000 less to spend on stuff. >> "fox & friends weekend" co-host will cain is here to react. will, a year ago it was $2.77. today it's $4.17. unbelievable. >> unbelievable. $3,000 a year for the average household as steve just showed us on the screen. a year in costs according to gas and groceries, let's put that into perspective. the average american household makes about $87,000 a year. that's a household. $63,000 for an individual, so, you remember when joe biden said no taxes, absolutely no taxes

for anyone making less than $400,000. >> good point. >> will: let's put that math to the test. that's 7% tax increase, $3,000 is after tax income. so, count that as post tax income. you essentially is seen your taxes go up by almost 7% like that. in the past year. >> steve: will, essentially it's a climate tax. because the administration does not want to increase production. they want people to drive less because of the climate. >> and an important part of that steve, is that we already saw this inflation. we already saw these gas prices rising before the russia ukrainian war. the administration is going to do their best to lay this on the doorstep of vladimir putin's ambition. make no mistake, that has exacerbated the problem. but the problem was already born before this war. and can i just add something to that? fox business report. she was talking about the price of diesel going up. and that means transportation costs go up. and that means your food price goes up because you have got to

pass that on. here is a little talked about other aspect to the russian ukrainian conflict. russia and ukraine supply a third of the world's wheat. they're the bread basket of europe. and now there is concern that entire operation is going to be shut down for the coming year. they don't supply the united states, but they supply countries like turkey and lebanon and when those countries can't turn to russia or ukraine, they are going to turn to the united states to buy more wheat and in turn drive up our prices here at home. >> brian: all right, will, appreciate it, doing a little economics talk wouldn't be surprised you give a little webinar after the show. thank you. >> will: no problem. >> ainsley: thanks, will. >> brian: coming up, a message' of faith from a ukrainian pastor fighting for his country after sending his family to safety. is are fire! slider sunday! i want that.

>> the devastation launching gas prices to all-time record high. >> president biden says buy america. except american energy. >> the ronald reagan foundation awarded president zelensky the presidential freedom award. >> brian: it is 3:00 in the afternoon on this march 8, 2022 in ukraine. we start this hour with the fox news alert. unicef reporting that more than 1 million children have fled the war-torn country. about half the total number of refugees. >> those evacuations are still under way along what they are saying, safe corridors. as people are continuing to flee russian she'lling. >> brian: the attacks stopped multiple attempts to evacuate

civilians. the defiant president says he's not going anywhere. that's president zelensky. we don't hear much from vladimir putin. we begin our coverage with trey yinks on the ground in kyiv. do you see lot of people in the city still? >> you don't see lot of people in this capital city of kyiv. there's martial law under way across this country. in the capital there's a curfew. there are people on the streets may be gaining supplies. when it hits 8:00 to 10:00, the streets gets empty. there are checkpoints every plock. -- block. people are inside. the streets are quite empty for most of the day. it's because they are seeing the images taking place in northern part of the ukraine where overnight russian air strikes killed multiple civilians.

more than 20 according to local reports including children. in the city of irpin here in kyiv, you can see what we saw yesterday. >> there's a large group of civilians fleeing the city of irpin. they're holding a white flag to let the russians know they are not a threat and they are trying to get out of the city. >> your life is broken forever. you have no hope. >> they have been walking for miles. she tells us she tried to shield the eyes of her young daughter as they pass by in the war-torn streets of irpin. >> the war is a disaster. many there in our town, many die, people just like on the streets. >> reporter: in the distance, ukrainian soldiers crouch down, worried about russian snipers and shelling. they tell fleeing civilians to hurry and stay low.

the evacuation for these people have been much more difficult. the russians fire more at this position. >> they destroyed everything. >> reporter: yesterday four people were killed as they left the suburb of kyiv. residents say russian troops pushed forward overnight and drove tanks through the streets. >> they told us to go because there's a war. >> reporter: russia says they aren't targeting civilian areas. we arrived in ukraine last month before the war started. it was filled with people and cafes and restaurants. they were talking about the culture of ukraine and enjoying their days like people do all around the world. this country is now consumed by war. >> brian: is there much of a sense this hope turkey and lavrov are speaking today?

understand i understand they made an offer for peace. you recognized donbas region of independence and if you give us crimea we can stop the fight. does that resonate? >> reporter: it doesn't. people see this as a farce by the russians. they are laying out a peace plan as they call it which would force ukraine to recognize areas of land that russia took from ukraine in 2014, for example, the russians annexed crimea. in the eastern part of the this country, there are russian-backed separatist ukrainians territory. the russia offer of peace is trying to get ukraine to recognize areas of land that russia has illegally occupied. >> ainsley: they said we'll stop military action if you stop military action. if you change your constitution. you can't join nato or the eu and recognize donbas region as an independent state. what are people staying -- saying on the ground about

zelensky? he was live in his office sitting behind his desk. are people there blaming him for this? do they still love him there? >> reporter: no, his support is quite high. they look at the words that he is projecting to the world. last week when we said i don't need a ride, i need ammunition. you have members of parliaments here picking up arms. they have molotov cocktails they made at home. this is the ukrainian spirit. the spirit of resistance to push back russian invaders. president zelensky has a lot of support but you note yesterday, he made his location very clear. we met with the president last week in a small group. it was quite secret. we were given a location at the last minute. we got to this checkpoint. they ushered us out into waiting vans, we got to the location

where zelensky talked with a group of journalist. now he's saying, here i am, i'm not afraid. this is a big risk. this is a leader we know, according to reports is at the top of the russian kill list. >> steve: i know that battlefield reports are not 100% accurate. but the signs are you ukraine had quite a bit of success fighting back the giant. let's see the britains defense secretary ben wallace said today russian invasions not going according to plan. lot of the military has been killed. we see these number of top generals killed as well. we see these reports that the russian military is being decimated. are the people of ukraine hearing that? >> reporter: they are. it's really lifting the spirit and the fight here. they've been quite successful using anti-aircraft missiles,

anti-tank missiles. it's not over. the russians have quite a bit of air power. they could use against the ukrainians that they haven't used. they have the ability to be far more brutal than they are being. they can target even larger population areas. it's important to remember the ukrainians are going to have to continue this fight and it's part of the reason they are pleading with the west for more weapons. they understand that the russians right now really have lost all regard for human life. they are targeting women. they are targeting children and humanitarian convoy. it can only get worse in the coming days and weeks. >> ainsley: there's no way to negotiate with this guy. >> brian: as we wait for these megs get in from poland and those pilots to show up anaphia -- is there an airport for them to stage from? >> reporter: yes lot of the fixed wing aircraft in the

ukrainian airport are still in operation according to military officials. they have different air support across this country. they are being very careful as you would imagine letting people know where they've been able to hold the aircraft and helicopters because the russians very early on in this invasion, tried to target many of those airfields. that airport was immediately targeted by russian forces when they launched this invasion. they still have air force. they still can fly aircraft out of this country. they will still continue their campaign to try to hit many of these sitting ducks, this russian convoy that's sitting northwest capital of kyiv. they will try to hit these facilities and hit these convoys to try to slow the russian forces. >> brian: lot of those convoys

are tanker trucks. trey, thank you very much. stay safe. in the meantime, how is impacting us? i got a text message from marcus letrell who filled up his suv and he took a picture of the gas meter. it was $134 to fill up his suv. are gas prices right now here in the united states are as high as they have ever been? one of the problems, one of the first things that joe biden did, he pulled the plug on keystone pipeline and started a very aggressive climate policy. for the most part, the administration is blaming putin for the high prices. they are blaming putin but the prices a month ago were on the rise. the problem is, we have not

increased domestic production. that's why the price of regular gas, $4.61 at that station yesterday. >> ainsley: he's a dictator. he's an authoritarian. we are funding them. $2.77 a career, $4.17 now. diesel fuel it was $1400 to fill an 18 wheeler tank. that price is passed on to you because they are traveling with all the goods you buy at the grocery store. anything you buy is more expensive now because of gas prices. >> brian: as high as that is and inconvenient it may be, unaffordable to many too, when quinnipiac asked the question if you support a ban, 71% said yes. that leads to well, having said that, you know what the public sentiment is, they see the horror which vladimir putin russian army is inflicting on

the innocent ukrainian people. that led to this clash yesterday with jen psaki who has a problem answering simple questions. >> would president biden stop the construction of the keystone xl pipeline. >> are you suggesting that will solve the gas prices issue? >> it will affect the prices faster. >> i don't think it would. the keystone was not an oil field. it's a pipeline. also, the oil is continuing to flow in just through other means. it actually would have nothing to do with the current supply. >> you say that you will do everything that you can to reduce the impact that high gas prices have on americans. we're asking other countries to think about pumping more oil. why not just do it here? >> to be clear, federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas.

let me finish. >> peter, let me give you the facts here. i know that can be inconvenient. we are one of the largest producers with a strong domestic oil and gas industry. we have produced more oil. it is at record numbers. we will continue to produce for more oil. there are 9000 approved drilling permits are not being used. >> brian: that is what the white house says a number of times. look at all these permits and people are drilling. she says the president is doing everything he can to bring prices down. what she doesn't say, they are increasing domestic oil production. which is how we would remain independent. >> steve: when they make a deal with saudi arabia, iran or venezuela, we're not energy independent. we are dependent on those people. >> ainsley: when joe manchin

says i don't mind paying 10 more cents a gallon if it means we don't mind buying more oil from russia. we wouldn't have to worry about a dollar extra if we were just independent like we were in the last administration. we buy 670,000 barrels day from russia. keystone would have produced 830,000 barrels a day. that's 160,000 more than what we get from russia. we can be independent here. >> brian: the ruble has fall. leaving everybody to wonder if we can get off russian oil and convince our allies to get more oil and gas from russia to do the same thing will that help. here's the reality check jen psaki should listen to. >> this represents a fundamental misunderstanding. you have to discover whether there's oil and gas in that

land. the white house doesn't have their facts straight. >> that accusation is a complete red herring. it's a distraction that this administration has paused leasing on federal land. >> these leases take many years to explore to develop and to produce on. >> some permits are viable and some are not. right now, the moratorium on leasing adds additional block to american production. we need to stop the rhetoric and clarity in a regulatory sense that this administration is behind the production of energy. >> steve: this administration has a very aggressive climate agenda. they want you to use less oil. that's why we are not producing more here in the united states. i read this morning that exxon and chevron will try to up production. it will take a while. in the meanwhile, since the

invasion, apparently gas across the country jumped 41 cents during the first week. it's jumped a lot more since then. this is how it is impacting you, the average family. extra $2000 a year, at least, in gas. extra $1000 a year in groceries with inflation. that's the total of $3000 less in your pocket. you might as well sit down today and figure out, we're going to have $3000 less money at this rate. what are we going to go without? that's what lot of people are doing. there was a study by capital one that said in the last two weeks, one in four american families skipped paying a bill they needed to pay because they didn't have the money. >> ainsley: i believe it. when i was in my 20s, barely made any money. even my teenage years, i had my

ashtray full of coins. sometimes i had 70 cents in there. it doesn't get you for a now. many people live like that. >> brian: i think lot of american companies say, we're not going to refine russian gas. we're not taking it. finland said the same thing. lot of private companies seeing this happening on a country that did nothing to deserve this attack. they are not going to tolerate it. i think this world condemnation for it and unfortunately, will have to pay for it. russia does supply lot of goods. wheat primarily, oil and gas. meanwhile 17 minutes after the hour. >> carley: we'll start with story now. florida couple found dead in daytona police chief calling the most vicious crime he's seen in 20 years. police is looking for the suspect who slashed the throat

>> no decision has been made at this point by the president

about a ban on importing oil from russia. >> is the supply of oil so important that it's accessible in some cases with countries that may engage in actions in the past. >> is it really worth doing business with nicholas to drive down gas prices? >> steve: the white house not committing to banning russian oil as it faces backlash on alternatives that could mean potential imports from our friends in venezuela, iran and saudi arabia. bloomberg is reporting the white house will ban oil imports today. republican congressman jim jordan join us from d.c. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: it's important to we send the message. what's the impact?

>> i think this legislation will pass today. we should ban russian oil. that's only part of the equation. the real answer is, let's increase production here. understand, we're in this terrible position because of stupid policy decisions from the biden administration. you know this, the canceling keystone pipeline, not allowing drilling on federal land and anwar open. we got to focus on that equation. here's the problem, steve, the left doesn't want to go there. even if joe biden want to go there, his party won't let him. i said in a hearing where democratic member from california, he had the oil and gas executives there in front of him. he badgered every one of them asking them one simple question. will you pledge to decrease production. the democrats want $7 gas. that is the biggest problem. >> steve: the democrats and joe biden, the democrats had this agenda for a long time. joe biden as soon as he came in

last year, they started this aggressive climate agenda. here we are with $7 gas. which is going to have people obviously people will drive less because it's costing them a fortune to fill up. what happens when it's $8 or $9? there's some suggestion that oil could be $200 a barrel in no time. >> that's what the democrats want. i -- i sat in that hearing. said, do you guys want $8 guys and the truth is, they do. for the life of me, i can't figure out. what that means to middle class families, how that hurts the economy and it drives up the price of everything. you take fuel to move goods around the country. it's complete craziness. that's where the left is today. unfortunately, they have complete control of the democratic party. joe biden, i think is afraid to stand up to him. that's why he's talking to saudi arabia and venezuela and iran for goodness sake.

>> steve: your white house reporter asked jen psaki, why are we talking to other people we can do here? he said i love to drill more. they won't let us. they got so many regulations. venezuela, iran which will get a nuke deal out if they give us more gas, that's my opinion. then saudi arabia. how interesting is this. i'm sure it's just a coincidence. as we go to saudi arabia, we ask them to give us more oil and gas, this is the same time we have decided we will send a guy so called 20th hijacker from gitmo after 20 years because he doesn't need to be in gitmo anymore? >> go figure. shazam, we're going to release this terrorist and this prisoner at the same time the president of the united states asking saudi arabia to increase

production. remember, just 14 months ago we were energy independent and now we have the spectacle of the president of the united states begging opec to increase production, talking to iran, talking to saudi arabia and talking to venezuela. instead of doing the common sense thing, which is let's increase production here in the united states. let's open anwar, let's have the keystone pipeline. let's recognize the value of the internal combustion engine and oil and gas for goodness sake how that helps our economy and helps middle class families. the left won't do it. >> steve: jim jordan, you heard kamala harris yesterday, it's time for you to buy a prius. >> tell that to the farmers and people in western ohio and country who drive pick-up trucks. they think everything is about this atmosphere and big cities on the coast. they forget about middle america. >> steve: they are paying extra $3 a year in higher oil and

inflation according to this new poll. jim jordan, thank you very much for joining us today from d.c. coming up, a ukrainian pastor is staying in his country to fight after sending his family to safety. he's going to join us with his message of faith in a time of war coming up next. >> they need our help. first, we have to take care of the families.

poland leave strollers for ukrainian mom and children. have a million have gotten into poland. >> alex hogan is live in poland as civilians in ukraine goes to that country for safety. good afternoon. >> reporter: good afternoon, this is poland where people continue to cross the border. this is their final step all of them have just finished making this journey from ukraine safely in poland. where are you going from here? >> my mom tell me we have to get into the germany. >> reporter: is there anyone in germany that you know, family or friends? >> yes. in germany is not our family. >> reporter: were you afraid and scared? >> no. i didn't. i haven't been scared.

>> reporter: very long trip. you are very brave boy. an incredible little 8-year-oldd here. there's enormous support of support. these are donations, box after box of clothing, scarves, hat and gloves, anything people can need. the polish government opened its doors says anyone is welcome. two million people have fled ukraine. there's also this viral photo at the nearby train station showing line of strollers that polish mothers dropped off in solidarity. the support is a u-turn from poland's usually closed door people including months ago when thousands of refugees fled iraq, syria and afghanistan.

more than a dozen people died there from hypothermia. this reaction this time is vastly different. organizations from all over the world are welcoming these refugees who continue to arrive. it is just person after person in this continuous flow of the people who fled to find safety. majority are arriving here in poland. >> ainsley: i heard that families there in poland are cooking throughout the day. they are feeding the families. the refugees. we saw yesterday, one of our reporters was there. they had tents set up and men were behind tables cooking for all of the people that were coming over the border. you seeing that? >> reporter: it's been remarkable. we had new tents that are popping up. they are building them now. all of these tents this white one, filled to keep people warm inside. they will receive food and the donation flow has been constant.

>> steve: thank you very much. 15 minutes ago during the jim jordan segment, we told you that the scoop out of washington is the u.s. will ban imports of russian oil. we presume that is what the president is going to be talking about at 10:45 today. we do know that behind the scenes, it's been a very busy 48 hours. there's been lot of friction. in a bipartisan way, democrats and republicans have been working together in the congress to move this bill to ban russian oil forward. they were really close. the house democrats put out a message on sunday night that said we passed it fiv minutes later somebody from the white house said, take that down. what was going on? >> ainsley: at 6:30 last night, someone from the white house called nancy pelosi to

intervene. she would push ahead with the bipartisan bill. 9:30 president biden called her. this demonstrates the friction between the white house and the house dems. >> brian: also, they weren't done yet. white house unable to move the house to do something bipartisan. she called the senate side. through chuck schumer pressured senator widen to pull this down. this bipartisan agreement to ban russian oil. which is about 7% of what we import. we are the number one customer. people in this country do not feel great about watching those images that alex hogan saw, about dead children on the side. saying are we buying oil from this butcher? it makes to sense. for some reason this administration doesn't get ahead of anything. remember they weren't going to talk about the swift system. the european union pulled out of the swift system, then we come back and say, we're going to

pull out of that financial system. we have not led on any of this. now, congress is pushing this. i have one more thing, they also -- the white house is looking to get oil from another source. they're not going to mexico, they're not going to canada and they are not drilling here. they are going to venezuela and they going to iran and saudi arabia. senator menendez saying, are you kidding me, how could you go to venezuela? that original regime we don't recognize. with you ask them for a favor? >> ainsley: the president announces in two hours that he's pulling out of russia. we will not buy oil from them. he want the credit? >> steve: the white house did not want to appear that they've been boxed in by congress on this issue. we'll know for sure what the president says from two hours. still ahead, a sign of defiance

by ukraine's president. you see that? >> don't hide. i'm not afraid of anyone. i stay here as long as it's necessary to win in our patriotic war. >> steve: how president zelensky is being honored for his courage by americans. first let's check in with bill hemmer for preview what happens in 11 minute. >> good morning to you guys. breaking on that oil decision we'll have more coming up here. meanwhile, you're filling up like it's 2014. how does that feel? brutal stories emerge from ukraine, the admiral will take our questions from the pentagon. two major hearings on the hill. one on the house side and senate side. we'll talk to britain's alabama about nato's wakeup call. liber,

should they do that? would you sign on to something like that? >> no-fly zone is a tricky proposition because you can argue that it's defensive in defense of humanitarian corridors. the downside, it can be interpreted as offensive, which minas nato would be involved. >> brian: that's a no? >> i would say no right now. >> brian: when we come back more on the news that the president of the united states will officially get america off russian oil. ♪
