3:00 am
awful policies in the biden administration. he can solve it beginning today. >> todd: doesn't look like he has the temperament to at this point or the will to even though all the signs interest r. there. congressman ted budd thank you for joining us. >> carley: thank you for joining news studio. good two hours with you, todd. and with that "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ [explosion] >> day 16 in the war on ukraine. >> new satellite imagery showing that 40-mile russian convoy. >> has redeployed among tree lines. >> casualty inflicted by ukrainian missile teams. >> devastating russian airstrikes mum melling airstrikes in two cities. >> this is outright terror, blatant terror. >> the highest level meeting is far between russia and ukraine didn't make any progress. >> very little room for compromise.
3:01 am
we want to stay alive. >> did is the united states willing to make a specific allocation for ukrainian refugees? [laughter] >> this would be humorous if it weren't so dangerous. we have this person who is just a heart beat away from the presidency. >> hitting new 40-year high president putin's invasion having impact. >> doesn't matter what says the public feels the truth because they live the truth. >> brian: we have a lot to cover we begin with a fox news alert. overnight airstrikes as you hear slamming central and western ukraine as the russian offense continues and expands to a degree. >> multiple casualties are being reported as ukraine, again, is accusing the cream lineal of targeting civilians. >> pete: benjamin hall joins us live from kyiv with more on the russian assault. benjamin? >> yeah. pete, brian, and ainsley, good morning. yes in the background we heard a very large bang. we do expect, again, we said
3:02 am
this for a few days we do expect an assault to come soon. russian troops are in position and now the mission of that convoy seems to be stalled. we don't know why it was stalled so long. it has redeployed and moved and comes a few days after having taken heavy hits javelin missiles wielded by forests. the company that has been monitoring says armored units that convoy are now seeing maneuvering in and through the surrounding towns close to the airport. elements of the convoy further north have repositioned and redeployed in forests alonging tree lines inspiring positions nearby. that is as cities around the country continue to be surrounded and bombed. the city. zelenskyy calling the russians terrorists. >> this is outright terror. blatant terror from experienced
3:03 am
terrorists. >> more families have begun fleeing kyiv. the mayor here says the population half its original size it has taken longer than expected for an assault on the capital to begin. russia has everything in place tort stavment families who had once planned to flee to the relative safety of the capital now avoiding it. >> afraid. my family tried to leave europe. i will be there with the guys in ukraine. that's why i hope we will be. >> u.s., the g-7 and eu revoke russia's favored nation status. that effectively means that they can place more sanctions and more tariffs on the country further crippling their economy. at this point doesn't appear that sanctions or further threat of tariffs are doing anything to stop the onslaught now sweeping across this country.
3:04 am
brian, ainsley, pete? >> brian: on the kyiv, any indication these units have experience in urban fighting that they will get out of their armor and actually go block to block? have they done that before besides blowing up a hospital on foot? do you think this is requesting to be a first for them it seems? >> on the contrary. every time they have had to have any face-to-face fighting so far in country, they have failed miserably, which is why we have seen the extent of bombings, bombardment and shelling. look, there have been many questions about how motivated they are. about who they are. many are are 18-year-old conscript. that's why ukrainians feel so optimistic head-to-head battle. many ukrainians have had experience. many spent two years at a time there they are battle-experienced whereas many of these russians are not. their army has been largely
3:05 am
defensive one until now. that's why we have seen many of the mistakes they have made in the lead up to this and first two weeks that being said you look at the redeployment in this convoy they have learned eventually some of the mistakes and some of the mistakes they made. they are waiting to see what comes back. >> ainsley: benjamin, i know you are in difficult the mayor is a boxer. the territorial defense is joining people who in their lives never intended to change their clothes, now they are in uniform with machine guns in their hands. are you getting a sense that they are ready to fight back? even zelenskyy said they are going to rebuild after the war. so he is being very positive and he is assuming they are going to win. >> every single person left in this city will fight. you have the old ladies who decided not to leave, saying give me a few molotov cocktails i will throw them from my window
3:06 am
or hunting rifles saying i have shot animals i can shoot russians. every single person here will fight that's why they have stayed. if it does come down to that brutal street to street like stalin grad. that's what people are telling us. we have not seen russian troops move into city. not likely to see a big ground invasion of kyiv to start with it will start off with shelling. how long for we don't know. we talk about russian troops moving. in that move into occupation phase one we always said we don't believe that the russians can win. that would bleed them dry. the death toll would i see radio. huge, huge cost for them. whether or not they do that eventually we don't know. perhaps their intention is to flatten the cities. you talk about rebuilding and yes there is no doubt that will happen if and when this war ends but that seems a long way off right now. we need to see what state they are left in when the clouds settle. >> pete: benjamin, i think about everyone in kyiv but yourself. the convoy and repositioning has
3:07 am
repositioned a lot of its artillery into a raid into positions to begin shelling the city it may not be a precursor to any sort of ground invasion. it's a defensive position off the main road to commence the type of full scale artillery bombing that has happened in other southern cities. is the city bracing because kyiv hasn't seen -- it's seen rockets and other attacks but not at the level of other cities yes, sir. right? >> yeah. not at all. it is a much larger city than some of the others. about 320 square miles. but they have been unable to surround it which can is what they have done around other cities before they start the bombardment. we don't know why it's taking so long to launch their offensive against kyiv. we know according to the cia they had to take two days they have been trying to cut it off down to the south they have been unable to. they stem haven't cut it off to the south maybe their calculation is that they are just going to start firing
3:08 am
without having z. achieved that objective first. we are not sure. confused some military analysts. some experts who say it doesn't follow a lot of the usual expect to see kind of invasion like this. they change, they adapt, they move and no doubt that they are coming to this city. >> brian: just think we have to find a way to get food and water into kharkiv and mariupol. they are really starving, dying of thirst. >> ainsley: fighting each other for food. >> brian: have you heard of any strategy of getting rat lines in there of aid? >> i mean, no, they have been trying that for the last week. i mean, mariupol we talk about again and again. every time any kind of concessions are made by the russians, any promises that food can go in or civilians can come out. they violate that they shell the buses, they mine the roots. it is a tactic. it's perfectly attempting to keep food out of their hands.
3:09 am
it breaks the will of the people. there is nothing getting in and out of some of those cities. nothing at all. and i think that's the way that putin wants it. >> brian: all right. ba gin minute hall thanks so much. >> pete: talking about what's happening. there is reports that 8 generals potentially have been fired by vladimir putin for not making sufficient advances and also that he is angry at his own intelligence services who clearly under estimated this state of ukrainian unity and blot back they would get. >> ainsley: i thought it was peace cleaning. said he was going to take kyiv in two days that didn't happen. images are harvard to see not only the maternity hospital not only if you have had a child and a father who has watched the process and then to see it bombed and these women being, you know, rushed -- some of these women were in labor when these bombs were hitting. and then also the images that are so hard to watch. those trench. they are feet long. they are yards long. and they are just rolling bodies
3:10 am
that are wrapped in it looks like trash bags, just rolling them into the trench and rolling them in on top of each other. reports this morning there are 1200 bodies that have been collected on the streets. >> brian: one thing is pretty clear if we don't stop vladimir putin near a major way, it's only going to get worse, lit lithuania, estonia, they're puncturing the myth of this russian military machine before our ice. it's so important that he the be brought down. >> pete: meanwhile as we talked day after day after day as ukraineens border. of course our border remains wide open. crime is still a rampant problem in our country and so is inflation and gas prices. yet, you have seen this white house try to find a way to tie inflation to vladimir putin. we saw it yesterday from jen
3:11 am
psaki with the #putin's price hike while joe biden is getting in on that spin game. here is a statement from biden on inflation yesterday. he said today's inflation report is a reminder that america's budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the here it is again putin's price hike. the marketed a r. act. as i said from the start putin's unprovoked war. americans can know this the costs we are imposing on putin and cronies are far more deficit stating than the costs we are facing. so they want us to believe everything we are seeing in our budget is because of putin. >> brian: it's spin but it's an insult to your intelligence. everybody knows this was happeninged from the day he took over to the philosophies he spouted to things he talked about. you heard president trump actually predicted it and nailed and it reaffirmed it yesterday why rolling tape with sean hannity lace night that this
3:12 am
guy's polings are going to be working against this country. let amoney lone the enact we're going to have supply chain issues coming off the worst pandemic in 100 years. keep in mind. before you say it's even putin's sanctions that are costing us here at home or the fact that we are going off the russian oil and gas. clean-up is not going to happen for the 45 days. we have been late on everything. they clarified our sanctions on the -- our sanctions on even the banks in russia aren't going to take place until the middle of june. so far the -- it's the europeans who are putting all the sanctions. who are risking their oil and gas which is maybe 45% of all their energy intake. we have not really made -- have anything to do with vladimir putin. we are not supplying arms. we were last in. and we are supplying -- we are not supplying troops. it's not costing us really much money over there to fight ukrainians. they have nothing to do with the
3:13 am
economy. >> ainsley: even former obama employee steve rattner the head of obama's task force. he said this no these are february numbers. talking about inflation. the numbers came out yesterday. these are only february numbers and only include small russia effect. this is biden's inflation. and he needs to own it. so, this has been going up for a year. >> pete: that's a fellow democrat from the obama administration own it. >> ainsley: inflation 1.4% last january when biden took over. now it's 7.9. the highest in 40 years. that happened well above thin investigation started 16 days ago. >> brian: he flooded the zone with a rescue plan of 1.9 trillion that we did not need in march after he got 800 billion in december last trump administration. >> ainsley: gas prices were around 2.40 when biden took office. the natural average this morning $4.43 this morning in california $7 a gallon.
3:14 am
diesel is 5.1. look at that graph. it goes up, up, up, up, up. it's continued it rise and it has been since he took office last january. he wants to blame putin e wants to blame the pandemic. he once was blaming inflation. he once was blaming supply chain. whatever the blame is, it's happening. americans are being squeezed and americans can't take it anymore. americans are screaming fix it we don't care what you want to blame it on. you are doing a terrible job because we are spending so much more out of our pockets books every month and we can't afford it the average american spending $300 a month more than they were. $2.96. >> pete: they dismissed it at the beginning as transitory. they said it's not going to be around. this is temporary thing. brian, you mentioned that first bill. we haven't talked about $1.5 trillion bill that passed two nights ago in the middle of the night. which no member of congress had remotely a chance to read. >> brian: nothing goes through the budgetary process anymore. >> pete: also reintroduced earmarks. so all these congressman are now throwing in their pet projects
3:15 am
on top of it flooding the zone even more. most of which have some sort of diversity equity and inclusion hooked to them look at the line items of that bill, spending, spending, spending, which is a contributor of that they have gone to warm with oil and energy. they have declared the war and executed it yet, somehow this is all vladimir putin's fault. thankfully we have peter doocy in the pressroom and he pressed jen psaki in that pressroom. are we really going to be blame putin on this forever? listen. >> inflation goes up today. the president's statement blames the putin price hike. are you guys just going to start blaming putin for everything until the midterms? >> we have seen the price of gas go up at least 57 cents since president putin lined up troops on the border of ukraine. >> and last month the statement didn't mention the putin price hike it mentioned inflation because of the pandemic. why is that? >> global economists have all agreed that has been the biggest
3:16 am
contributedder to date of inflation because of the impact on the supply chain. obviously global events impact the economy. the global economy, as well as global inflation. and the price hikes as a result, that have escalated over the course of time of president putin's further invasion of the impasse on the global oil markets are, of course, having an impact. >> brian: nice try. she put something on social media jen psaki i will paraphrase. time for the oil and gas companies to start drilling on the 9,000 leases they have permits for. they don't have permits for they have leases for. i think it's up to the oil companies who have been scared to death to come public because they don't want things to have more retribution their way. it's incumbent on them to stand up and let everybody know you know your industry inside and out. i don't have a problem with you earning a profit. number one, if you are not gouging, let everyone know you are not gouging. number two is tell us in very
3:17 am
fundamental terms because we are not in the business what you are doing with those permits and those leases. and tell them the relation of potentially what you could be doing if the government would unleash it. everybody would cover it the networks would carry it, and this would be the push back on everything that the spokesperson saying. he. >> pete: would they cover it? we would cover it and mention the other side of the story. most of the rest of the media, watch them find a way to make it putin price hike. they will say that's the flax for the oil and gas industry pushing industry line. everything you are saying is equity c the difference between permits and eases and bureaucracy and the environment i mean the actual regulatory environment are the reasons why they are hesitating. should make that case more clearly. i a2k3wr50e6. >> brian: they have got to show some boldness. don't sit back and say what loot happened to my company. they are -- all these major
3:18 am
investment firms don't invest in oil and gas or else there is going to be re tri biewtion from treasury. she said it janet yellen in -- by the way she is mia. if they were great sanctions she would be talking to them. she sent to munich and world institutions it's time for them to step up and say that's not the way america works. >> ainsley: midterms around the corn father gas prices and inflation goes up it's impacting republicans and independence. i don't think he wool do well in november if we continue to see these increases. people can't afford it 18 minutes after the top of the hour. vice president harris stumbled into another awkward moment on the world stage. watch. >> a friend in need is a friend indeed. [laughter] >> ainsley: she didn't want to answer the question. the say the cringe worthy laughter is more dangerous than it is funny.

3:25 am
>> ainsley: right like they did in atlanta. >> pete: 162 games is too so many games. feels like foam. my goodness maybe 100 games? >> brian: joining me now is -- okay, fine, kind of like a broad statement. >> ainsley: waiting on clarifies to land in romania. she is going to meet with the president there and press conference and led back to washington. yesterday she was in poland. she never went to the border. i thought she was going to got border and maybe see some of the people. >> pete: doesn't love borders generally. [laughter] >> ainsley: she had that press conference they went back and forth answering questions this was an awkward moment. everyone would say not a time for laughter. we see all these terrible images of what is happening in ukraine. just bodies rolled on top of each other in these trench.
3:26 am
maternity hospitals being blown up. cities being completely torched and people leaving their houses, leaving their loved ones behind. their elderly moms to take their kids over to another country. she has this press conference. and she starts laughing. and doesn't know how to answer the question. watch this. >> i'm wondering what the united states is going to do more specifically to set up a permanent infrastructure and relatably is the united states willing to make a specific allocation for ukrainian refugees? >> okay. [laughter] a friend in need is a friend indeed. [laughter] >> brian: unbelievable. so, you have a situation where there has been 2.3 million refugees, this is either the second biggest or the third biggest story in the world right now. the first would be the actual fighting. the second would be who is helping all those people and where are they going once they leave? in particular, poland has taken
3:27 am
in 1.4 as of yesterday million people. they can't take anymore. so not only she laughing off a question for no reason. no reason. she is actually refusing to tackle the second biggest story. the first is what happened with those migs and the miscommunication u.s. and poland. she refused to answer that question by answering an entirely different question in incomprehensible way. this is where you will say i have an answer for that story the next 4202372 hours because poland has been asked to shoulder the bulk of these refugees they have done it brilliantly and compassionately. they have reached their capacity. america can help. >> pete: that's as easy as a question you could possibly get. >> ainsley: about the refugees. >> pete: targeted right at the vice president of the united states. she stands up deer in the headlight, doesn't want to answer, points to the polish president. then repeats this weird phrase of a friend in need a friend
3:28 am
indeed. he defers back to her to say something and she laughs awkwardly because she doesn't know what to say to a question that is any first term congressman could answer in half a second. >> ainsley: you will hear her say i will take. >> pete: what an ample of leading from behind. she is a third rate politician. >> brian: bad staff. her staff should have had her ready for the mig question and staff should have had her ready. >> ainsley: she has been accused of not being prepared. >> brian: by everybody. >> pete: former spokesperson more volodymyr zelenskyy current president in ukraine her name is yulia menendez she tweeted this after that disaster it would be a tragedy if this woman won the presidency. that tweet is since deleted. but pretty evident how our allies or those we're supposed to be feel about the support they are getting. >> that is from the former press secretary of ukraine say it would be a tragedy if she became
3:29 am
president. also we interviewed yesterday congresswoman victoria spartz. she is from ukraine. comes to america. she spoke on our show yesterday. and she tweeted this out. she said vp harris, this is a very serious situation requiring action. not a laughing matter. >> brian: tulsi gabbard who took kamala harris apart in the debates after kamala harris took joe biden apart in the very first debate. she was asked about what she has been seeing so far. listen. >> this would be humorous if it weren't so dangerous. we have this person who is just a heart beat away from the presidency. she was anointed by the mainstream media. she was appointed by the clinton machine for two very simple reasons. one is identity politics. she had the right skin color and the right gender and number two she had proven herself to be loyal to the power elite in washington. they send her poland, revealing
3:30 am
they are not serious about solving this tragedy, this problem. we have seen how they are not serious about solving illegal immigration at our border because they put her in charge of solving that problem. and it's about the kamala harris show. getting her out there and giving her the opportunity to get some photo ops so sad it shows the suffering of the ukrainian people they're actors in her -- in the kamala harris show. >> pete: we were just commenting, real leaders go where the pain is felt. and where you lead from the front. and not from the podium poorly. and you haven't seen that from joe biden or kamala harris in really any context abroad or at home where they go to the border or they go to cities where crime is out of control and actually address the problems and talk to people. >> ainsley: she is the czar of our own border and doesn't go down there. she went to ukraine. what an opportunity to go there
3:31 am
to the border and meet some of these people that we are trying to help that we are sending aid to. hug them. get to know them. find out their stories. have a press conference there on the border but she didn't do that we were talking during that soundbite. look at some of the great leaders, look at churchill who refused to leave when the nazis were trying to invade. he goes out on the streets and every single day he was seen, he would come out of his bunker, look at zelenskyy. he stayed in kyiv. he didn't take his family and money and get to safety, even though we were trying to help him. he wanted to stay with his people. even princess diana, do you know why everyone loved her, one with the people go. and hold sick children. she was one with them. as a leader, it's not about having a press conference and a fancy dinner with the president and getting back on your plane. it's about going to the border and seeing and hearing these stories. all right, coming up, eyes in the sky. ukrainian civilians creating a volunteer drone force to aid in their fight for freedom. a drone dealer joins us live coming up next. ♪

3:46 am
the times and you know thieves are looking for crimes of opportunity this is just the latest one they are looking at doing is actually targeting parked vehicles and stealing gasoline from the tanks of the vehicles and it's happening in various cities all across the country. >> ainsley: how are they doing it? because i know there is damage involved. >> how can there be damaging involved when they're siphoning it out. they are not doing that anymore, right? >> that's a great question. the old way of removing or stealing gasoline from a vehicle. thieves would siphon it out. more newer vehicles these days actually have a rollover valve which prevents the gasoline from coming out of the car in the event of a rollover crash which could lead to a fire. so what they're doing now is they are actually drilling into the gas tank and letting the gas flow out. >> ainsley: we have picturers that our audience is sewing right now where they are just dumping the gas drilling into your car and all the gas flows out into their containers, are

4:02 am
negotiation. this is something we heard him say time and time again offering diplomacy while at the same time escalating what's happening on the battlefield and back to that convoy. the convoy that we have been watching for the last two weeks. had 0 miles long. everyone saying it was stalled outside kyiv. a perfect example logistical supply issues in the russian army. well finally it seems to have moved and redeployed. the satellite imaging company that has been monitoring it saying this that the armored units are now seeing maneuvering in and through the surrounding towns close to the airport. element to the convoy further north have repositioned and are deployed in forest along tree lines with their are a tier lerry houses firing positions nearby. does raise the specter assault on the capital soon. numerous cities continue to be surrounded bombed. city surrounded yesterday it had not been surrounded. all suggestions that they are bracing for an attack there and attack in kyiv.
4:03 am
zelenskyy yesterday calling the russians terrorists. >> this is outright terror, blatant terror from experienced terrorists. >> more families have begun fleeing the capital of kyiv. the mayor saying the population with now less than half its original size it has taken far longer than expected for an assault on the capital to begin. but everything suggests that now finally russia has everything in place to started. and families who once had been seeking the shelter of the capital city for safety, they are now avoiding it. >> we think we here afraid to go to the kyiv. we try -- my family tried to europe. i will be there with the guys in ukraine. i hope we will be. win. >> meeting today to revoke russia's favored nation status that effectively means they can put more sanctions, more tariffs on russia. as we have been saying all along
4:04 am
those sanctions and tariffs have had little impact on holding back putin's forces on the battlefield. brian, steve, and pete? >> pete: thank you benjamin. >> brian: benjamin, real quick, if you were to characterize the way these cities block by block are yesterday to block any type of russian offensive if it comes today or this weekend, how would you character it? how ready are they? >> look the mayor of kyiv saying this city was a fortress. we have spoken to some of the commanders here running the defenses. they say they have multiple rings around the city. each single one they will be ready to defend and burn back the russian invasion. particularly in a major city like kyiv, you have the subway system which they said they would be able to use. extensive and pop up wherever you want. built up area. high rise billings, snipers in all of them. they say they are already there. they positioned supplies, weapons across the city. there's no doubt that they are
4:05 am
prepared both for the invasion by ground forces, and but also by this attack that we expect from air. we got people sheltering in place. everyone knows where the nearest bomb shelter is in fact they go down to them quite often in the evening. people here are ready as ready as they can be. also you see a fair amount of the weaponry that the u.s. and western nations have given. those also waiting here. and then you have the civilians who are making molotov cocktails who have their old hunting rifles. everyone is going to play their parts. do whatever they can to try to save their city. save their families, save their homes. >> pete: benjamin how about provisions what is happening in mariupol. being bombed and ultimately food and water are in very short supply. have they had the ability to stock up on that for those that are still there if the siege goes on for weeks and maybe months considering how slowly the russians have advanced so far? >> well, at this point, most of
4:06 am
the shelves are empty in the stores. william burns, the cia director saying a couple days ago if the russian forces were able to surround and cut off this city, then he thought the analysis was that they would have 10 to 14 days worth of supplies. so not many. every single person in this city has stocked up. ourselves included. but that will run out at some point it can't be sustained. that is a concern. it depends if putin wants to play a waiting game. starve out the city or whether he comes in sooner than that. >> brian: it would just be great to be able to drop aid from the sky the way been able to do it in the past and on battle fields and with this drone technology, i'm sure we could do it. and be very -- >> ainsley: that would be wonderful because we heard about that 6-year-old little girl in mariupol died because she didn't have any water. she was in one of the bunkers. and the next picture you will see humanitarian aid workers delivering water like oh my gosh, i wish that little girl it had had some water she is 6
4:07 am
years old. you look at these images, benjamin, some of these cities that have been attacked and just rubble. looks like what 9/11 looked like in downtown new york. except these are entire cities that are wiped out. hospitals wiped out. we interview people who said i was just walking by that hospital when i visited my mom in mariupol and then the next images this hospital that is bombed and trenches and people walking out with blood all over them. these pictures are so devastating and then we know these troops are coming to the town where you are. kyiv. they want to be in the capital. they want to overtake the capital because of the symbolism there and how important that city is we see all these beautiful buildings behind you and pray to god that those are not attacked. it looks like the president, zelenskyy, is very optimistic. listen to this lady she is crying. that is outside of the hospital, holding her baby. but she is alive. thank goodness. but, benjamin, the president zelenskyy is optimistic. because he said they will rebuild after the war. what are the people saying? >> absolutely.
4:08 am
and they also know that even though the russian forces may take cities, may surround them that in the long run they will not win. there is just no appetite here for any sort of russian oversight. and even if there was a russian puppet government put into place here, they have overthrown puppet governments in the past. there is no way in the long run that russia can control this country. that is a given. if russia tried, it would bleed them dry. death toll would rise. public opinion would definitely against him. he could not sustain it while the sanctions back here in russia hit home it does beg the question what what is the end game? whatever it is at some point an opportunity to rebuild this nation. rebuild these cities and you have to expect that every western nation will get involved and ukraine will end up as a more westernized version of ukraine than it was already. defeating the entire vladimir putin's assault. that's what is so baffling. he has made nato stronger. this country ever closer to the
4:09 am
west. make the defenses along the western front so much stronger. it baffles people that putin hasn't seen the long-term games or long term negatives for him. >> brian: benjamin, thank you so much. know how cold it is. appreciate it no one wants to be part of the russia empire. even the russians aren't happy in russia. and no one likes their socialististic oligarch-driven brutal dictator style of government. who wouldn't want the west? what do you not understand? so the other question is what does the president not understand about the fact that we have to prevail in this area, the ukrainians have to prevail, yes. the west has to prevail most importantly. the whole mindset of being last. allowing europe to lead. allowing our sanctions are late. we deliver arms late. congress is pushing the president to act. democratic leaders burning the president to act. whether it's the sanctions on the swift system. whether it's getting arms into theater or whether it's getting
4:10 am
them off most favored nation status. the democrats are frustrated with their democratic president and a distracted timid white house. >> ainsley: you are right though why didn't we give them weapons earlier because putin told us he was going to do it last summer. >> brian: he told us what putin was going to do. >> ainsley: you did but putin said it in manifesto last summer. we knew this was happening. when you hear all of them especially zelenskyy saying we don't have enough weapons. so many people signed up because of the draft. all of these men but they don't have what they need to fight. why didn't we send it earlier. >> pete: absolutely no doubt that putin's calculation is american weakness under joe biden. there is no doubt about it. at the same time to counter that, brian, it's about time europe takes the lead. this is their backyard. this is ukraine, this is poland, this is the eastern part of the nato block. what did donald trump try to say for years and years, pay up. build up. because you have your own threats that you need to deal with it's not our job to sail across the pond and take care of every mess that you allow to
4:11 am
foment on your continent. it should be european countries. donald trump also pointed out hey, germany, just like ronald reagan did, if you rely on russian oil you will become vulnerable to elm this i would like to see europe do more and take a lead and appreciate a breakout to article 5. and if they calculate that giving migs is a step that expands the war. does vladimir putin have the opportunity to take on nato? key take on nato? >> brian: he can't take on poland,. >> he can't take on ukraine right now. don't give excuse to go further than that. >> brian: don't go out of his way to score political points. he said this brilliantly yesterday. >> i will say nord stream 2, the swift sanctions, the stinger missiles, the banning of oil, what do all of those things have in common? in each of those cases the administration said no.
4:12 am
in each case they said no. and in case members of congress, republican and democrat alike, took to this podium and the floor of the senate and other places and talked to you in the media and in each case the administration did a 180. and they now support those things. so, i'm not losing hope. i think this makes sense. i think this is the right thing to do. >> brian: he evidently directly said this is joe biden's decision again, just like he trumped his generals, herer agrees with some members of the pentagon. for the most part now to congress when it comes to these migs. is he like i don't want to do it. i don't want to do it. do you see what's going on? do you think the russians, the russians are worried about escalating this war? they're actually shooting at nuclear power plants. they are indicating they are going to use chemical weapons. they are targeting hospitals. they are saying this is a war crime get out your cell phone and tape it. we don't care. now, to give them migs i are going to have the arrogance to
4:13 am
tell the ukrainians who are actually fighting a war that they don't need them? you have got to be kidding me. >> ainsley: here is my question, pete, maybe can you answer it with mirlgd experience. why is it okay to give ukrainians javelins and stinger missiles and everything else they need except for these planes? >> pete: it's all a matter of calculation of the level of escalation when you are fighting a proxy war against a fellow nuclear country. ultimately, the united states and russia have fought a lot of proxy wars over the decades. where they have supplied weapons and equipment to the other side. >> brian: vietnam. did russian supply fighter jets to vietnam. pete you pointed that out. they did directly. we could attempt to make that argument on the world stage. you have done it before so we are going to do it. the other part of the calculation you have to make is how do we prevent world war iii here? ened a say that without trying to be 450eu7er bowl lick. right now ukraine. right now it seems russia's ambitions contained to ukraine that could change. he doesn't have the combat power
4:14 am
to project and trigger article 5. let's not give him a reason to do so while giving him all the stingers and javelins they need. ukrainian air defense assets right there fired on our screen that's a good thing. >> ainsley: what countries would come after our western allies would come after america if we did provide those planes? >> pete: we have already pushed russia into the hands of china. we already created an axis. one of our stated foreign policy goals for the longest time was to keep russia out of an alliance with china. we have burned them closer together at this point, which is not good for the west if we are looking to defend our. >> stand up to china like we should stand up to china they have to go elsewhere. can't continue to allow china outlaw behavior. the other thing to keep in mind, too. the only thing to add to your argument is that vladimir putin is not playing by western rules. every time we back, put our hand out. think about being coy or being
4:15 am
docile, he looks at it as weakness. zelenskyy said when i'm elected i will go make better relations with vladimir putin. hillary clinton let's reset the relationship. we know barack obama. >> pete: totally agree. >> brian: barack obama i'm going to have much more flexibility. he looks at it as weakness. when we don't give the migs he looks at it as weakness. >> pete: add thatted to my argument as well. vietnam they knew they were dealing with a rational actor on the u.s. side that they could predict their escalation. in this case you tell me what vladimir putin does next. does he use a tactical nuclear weapon? does he expand the conflict cyber warfare go our country? that's where you have to factor in when you look to whether or not we add migs. >> ainsley: the problem is we have so many men and women in the military here and we don't want to send them. we don't want to start a war because there are so many lives at stake here. the. >> brian: only thing i'm saying you ever just postponing it. three years they will be
4:16 am
stronger and correct their mistakes and come back with a more comprehensive and maybe. >> ainsley: something else we could give them that would allow them to push back the enemy, push back. >> pete: more javelins more stickers. >> ainsley: load them up with them. >> brian: a lot of people like to catch joe biden when is he speaking because he really knows how to motivate people, especially at the dnc winter meetings when they had a keynote speaker they chose the president of the united states. he knew what the problem was. high inflation, high gas prices and we have an economic issue and challenges like we really haven't seen since the 1970s. although we are adding jobs. here is a little of joe biden's message because he knows there is a problem and he also thinks he knows who is to blame. >> people already, already feeling putin's price hikes at the pump. i think the american people know how important this fight is.
4:17 am
i think they know that it's painful as the price is today the costs are going to be higher if we do not act now to deal with this tyrant. >> ainsley: well, gas prices are higher. they are 4.33. >> brian: who is he blaming? >> ainsley: around 2.40 when he took office. that's just the national average. in california talking about $7, $8. we interviewed someone from a.a.a. earlier he said people are stealing gas out of parked cars because it's so expensive. not siphoning it they are taking a drill and dig into your gas tank and then pulling it out and dumping it into their own containers and taking it and leaving you with the cost to repair your car because you have a big hole in it and don't have gas anymore which will cost you about $1,000 to fix. >> pete: yet again the democrats think you are stupid. don't believe your lying eyes, the inflation seen since he took over. gas hikes, not the fault of our administration going to war with the oil and gas industry. not the -- not us passing trillions and trillions and
4:18 am
pumping into the economy, no, no. it's vladimir putin. they think people will buy that argument. see what happens in november of 2022. they think a #putin price hike is going to fool people. >> brian: right. george p. bush went out in the oil fields with them and met six executives interview them tomorrow. it's tough for oil executives to stand up and say what the real story is because jen psaki went on social media yesterday and talked about how it's the oil companies gouging as well as refusing to drill on their permits. so, guys. and women. because there are win leaders in these industries, too. stand up and defend yourself because you should not be the fall guy. because your business has been hurt by their policies. now they are blaming you. >> ainsley: you can blame, blame, blame, blame, blame. the fact is gas prices are higher electric bill is higher. inflation is through the roof. food costs are more. people want a fix. we can't continue to go on like this. especially people that are living on one salary. have four kids or three kids,
4:19 am
it's too much. they want it fixed they don't care who is to blame. if this goes on in the midterm, carley, there is going to be a problem for democrats. >> carley: on the inflation front. inflation 1.4%. yesterday that number came out 7.9. >> brian: thanks vladimir. >> ainsley: 16 days ago he invaded but vladimir putin. >> carley: still dealing with the crime crisis. >> brian: it's not over. >> carley: starting with a tragedy. a missouri police officer jake reed will not recover from injuries sustained during a shooting. and unfortunately he is not the only person to lose his life during the shooting. corporal benjamin cooper died after being shot in the initial confrontation. a third officer rick herbie hert stable condition. florida governor ron desantis is slamming the ceo of disney for

♪ >> i simply do not understand the logic for not getting the migs to the ukrainians immediately. there is no logic which has been provided to this committee or to the nation. i believe there is a sentiment that we are fearful about what putin might do and what he might consider as an escalation. it's time for him to be fearful of what we might do.
4:26 am
>> brian: 100 percent agree. senator mitt romney joining on 40 lawmakers calling on find send mig jets to desperate u.k. a u.s. ambassador to the united nations breaking ranks it the white house saying vladimir putin is committing war crimes on ukrainian civilians buy the administration says it won't discuss possible red lines where we might get directly or more involved. even when it comes to chemical warfare. for more on this, let's go to the best in the business, fox news strategic analyst retired four star general jack keane. general, will these help, these migs? >> oh, yeah. 24 migs, absolutely. just like our anti-tank weapons are helping. the stingers are helping. the are a dill rememberry we gave them is all helping. nothing in and of itself is decisive. the cumulative effect of all of it certainly will be at play. and, listen, the ukrainians are asking for it. they are telling us they want it desperately. why we are date of birtherring
4:27 am
date of birtherringover this. we have let putin get inside our head. we are concerned about what he will do pattern too long outset delaying shipment of arms to them because russians on ukrainian border and afraid they would attack if we gave them the arms shipment. delayed them twice. here we are dithering over something like this. we did the sanctions not before the invasion but said we will do it after the invasion. they that had no impact on putin whatsoever. >> brian: you agree with senator mitt romney and i agree too. got to stop here. semblance of victory and rekindle and regroup and rebuild his army better, we're going to have a bigger problem down the line. that's what people don't understand, i think you do. let's talk about what's changed. what's exchanged a real movement in kyiv. would you say that general?
4:28 am
should you be worried if you are in kyiv this weekend? >> well, what's happened now for the first time is we do have combat forces on the outskirts of kyiv on the west side which will be an access to encircle the city from the west and also on the east side, northern east side circle the city on the east side as well. so, that is a first. they are consolidating now. they have taken some losses as you have been pointing out here and certainly on the videoed is very graphic to that case. but, yes, they will begin their offensive at some point in the next couple of days to try to attempt to encircle the city, brian. they will put their artillery in position and they will hammer the city before they put troops in to that city. they are still trying to seek a capitulation from zelenskyy before they move combat troops into that city. and they will use civilian casualties and destruction to
4:29 am
tried to get that capitulation. >> brian: well, a couple of things. i'm not sure that the russians have showed this that they have the heart, guts and experience for urban warfare it seems like the ukrainians are ready for this. you told me even in the best fighting force you have to outnumber the opponent 5 to 1. something else new happened overnight. tell me how significant we have got hit up in the northwest. and we have dnipro got hit. does it show to you a significant expansion of the battle plan for the russians or should we not pay much attention? >> no, they are going after in the west they are certainly something that i'm surprised they haven't done before. and they are going after ukrainian air power. which is still flying and which is still a problem, which is certainly one of the problems in execution that the russians have. going back to the fighting in the city, i'm not convinced that the russians are up to urban warfare and fighting block by
4:30 am
block, building by building, based on the performance i have seen so far and the significant training deficiencies that they have. urban war fair is the toughest kind of warfare. and it favors the will. i think they will struggle with that do everything they can to avoid it and use the artillery and bombing to seek that capitulation. if they don't get it, i think putting troops in the city that will take weeks, even if they are successful in routing the ukrainians it will be a tough fight. >> brian: if they are going to focus on the capital, does that mean this area just as a pause odesa will stay docile for now because they can't handle two major fronts? >> they have committed to the south. i think the better troops are in the south that's why we have seen progress there it's not
4:31 am
going to be easy. they will struggle to deny ukraine access to the sea. certainly odesa is a very big part of it we will see a ground attack coming from the east to owe desis a and also naval infantry coming from the sea. they are not anywhere near ready for that yet. >> brian: gotcha. let's hope it stays that way. general jack keane, appreciate it, thanks so much. >> great talking to you, brian have. a wonderful weekend. >> brian: yeah, you too. >> we have educational as usual. meanwhile on a different note, chaos in the courtroom as former empire actor jussie smollett storms out of sentencing. see the outburst unfold but don't expect it to make any sense. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.

4:43 am
wesley, thank you so much for being here. we are seeing it everywhere from #s to jen psaki to joe biden. inflation you are feeling 8% increase in the cpi which came out a couple days ago it's all vladimir putin, wesley. >> this is actually pretty simple. vladimir putin is responsible for invading ukraine and joe biden is responsible for the inflation and high gas prices that we are seeing every single day and trying to blame this on russia is a dog that just won't hunt. this is the highest inflation we have seen in my lifetime. it started actually before this invasion. and it is a direct result of the disastrous policies and spending in d.c. by the democrats and also the war on our energy industry right here in our own country. now, this energy crisis that's been caused by the biden administration is driving prices up as well. because, when you think about all the input that energy has in our everyday lives, ranging from products and the phone and your cell phone in your pocket and
4:44 am
also the bottle that you drink from, literally everything we do has to do with energy. and those rising prices also causing inforeign relation. so, look, during the state of the union address, joe biden talked about buying american. well, guess what? that means buying more american oil and stopping this assault on our oil and gas industry. >> pete: you just mentioned the assault on our oil and gas industry. they are denying it now. they are saying they want more drilling and there is all these unused permits out there that they could be using. here is joe biden in a town hall in 2019 when he was a candidate. take a listen. >> if we don't stop. >> we are all day. doing away with subsidies for number one. number two holding them he for under served neighborhoods and you know the deal, okay? and by the way when they don't put them in jail. >> kiddo, i want you to just take a look, okay? you don't have to agree. but i want you to look in my
4:45 am
eyes. i girn tee you, i guarantee you we are going to end fossil fuel. >> would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in the biden administration. >> no, no we, we, we would work it out. we would make sure it's eliminated. >> pete: it's right there. they want to hope our memories are really short and voters are really dumb and they will buy this line that it's vladimir putin and not their attack on our own industries which have created what we see today. >> and you are absolutely right, pete. and add to that six lng exports permits sitting on biden's desk that he won't sign. i expect to tell you if he signs them it could increase lng exports by 35%. let's think about that. but he won't sign it and here's why. he wants every single driver in america to buy an electric vehicle. how tone deaf is that?
4:46 am
first of all we can't afford it and people right now just want some relief instead of going to the pump and paying $7 a gallon for gas. right now biden is married to the green new deal. i suggest he get a divorce and actually unleash the power of our energy industry that starts right here in the basin. he needs to complete the keystone xl pipeline and make fuelthe u.s. and the allies abrd and stop killing our economy. >> pete: energy independence and dominance keeps us out of entanglements because we don't have to rely onion evil governments around the world to supply us with the energy we need. >> you are exactly right. >> pete: wesley hunt, god bless you thank you for your time. >> week wise. >> pete: tuesday it over to carley shimkus for headlines. >> carley: the head of russia's space agency is threatening to abandon astronaut aboard the international space station. could order russians on the iss to leave and detach russia's

5:03 am
maneuvers throughout the surrounding towns close to the airport and more significantly it says that they are placing their artillery in firing positions nearby. fighting increased in the areas surrounding kyiv as clashes took place nine miles from the city center. ukrainian military fighting back russian forces in a village near kyiv. all of the suggestions are they are now ready for an attack on the capital. president zelensky said the humanitarian crisis was growing worse. humanitarian corridors are being opened up today. >> we are doing everything to save our people in the cities the enemy wants to destroy. but mariupol and remain completely blocked. although we did everything necessary to make the humanitarian corridor work, russian troops did not cease fire. >> nato has been carrying out drills over the last couple of weeks, about 100 miles from the
5:04 am
russian border. concern this could spread into nato countries. we had patriot missiles into poland. it does seem as long as the conflict is contained within ukraine, there's little appetite for escalating from the side of the u.s. you mentioned president putin, he said there was positive developments on the diplomatic front. time and time he has offered diplomacy on the one hand while escalating on the other, so people not taking that seriously, bracing for the first. >> i believe the reports the troops don't want anything to do with this conflict. if you could set up a patriot system in poland quickly, can
5:05 am
you send in -- if you could send in stingers, can you send in piece by piece missile defense system? >> i don't see why not. the s300s they are asking for. russia has the s400s. at the moment as long as the supply lines from the west are open, almost anything can come in and they are coming in in big numbers. it is one of the things they need. again, people are surprised russia doesn't have superiority yet. it is one of the big mysteries around this war, that and how poorly the russian forces have fared. yes, they can come in. the question is whether countries are willing to give them. >> benjamin, thank you. >> ainsley: the ambassador to the u.n., she is breaking ranks with the democrats. she believes that putin is committing war crimes against ukraine. >> her message breaking ranks
5:06 am
from the white house as well, which has skirted around the subject and called for an investigation into moscow's conduct instead. >> linda thomas greenfield says she believes there are war crime that is russia is committing in ukraine. previously the administration said there appeared to be reports, credible reports of war crimes. an investigation should commence. the white house is also warning that russia may try to use chemical or biological weapons in ukraine. press secretary jen psaki refused to say whether that would draw a u.s. military response. >> i'm not going to get into red lines from here. he is not intending to send u.s. troops to fight in ukraine against russia. what our assessment is based on is how to prevent a world war. >> then there's the ongoing issue of polish mig fighters.
5:07 am
42 republican senators wrote to reverse the decision. republicans say the united states cannot allow putin to gain an advantage because of a failure to provide the ukrainians with needed weaponry. >> if we continue to blink every time vladimir putin says boo, it's not going to stop in ukraine, not going to stop in europe. we might add well call the commanding general and tell him to take down the flag and surrender our position because we will never stand up to russia if every time vladimir putin says boo, we back down. >> administration officials say they are being very cautious here about drawing nato and the united states into a war with a nuclear armed and erratic russia. pentagon officials say providing migs is high risk and there are more effective ways the u.s. is helping the ukrainians. the administration has drawn a line when it comes to nato countries, saying that the u.s. and nato will defend every inch
5:08 am
of nato territory. back to you. >> thank you, rich. appreciate it. you've got to wonder whether we declare his actions war crimes or not. how much vladimir putin cares, considering -- they are not signatories to the international criminal court. they don't care what the u.n. says. he's in war mode. >> if you listen to what she said, she said when i think about what's happening in ukraine, i can't get these images of the maternity hospital being blown up and women that are pregnant trying to to have their babies rolled out, covered in blood, children crying. she said these are war crimes because it is -- they are attacks on civilians, innocent people, innocent moms and babies. >> couple of things. you -- they have a movement to do what they did with the balkans war and charge individual commanders. so if you are a general and don't want to be there anyway or a general not even qualified, ended up there, maybe you paid
5:09 am
off somebody and they say, really, i'm going to start blowing up a town? maybe that's part of the reason the convoy was held up? >> meaning these generals -- >> they are not going to extradite these guys. >> eight have been fired. everybody wants out. so you're seeing this could be a lot worse than even we know because russia is fighting so terribly, so unorganized, communications so bad, the frustrations so great, such detachment from the kremlin to the battlefield. you don't know how many generals go, listen, war crimes -- they know they are targeting hospitals, schools. they decide to open up a front in two cities. one of the targets was a kindergarten. this is a war crime -- i know who did that. >> you're saying target putin, but also target the generals. the generals can't say, i'm just following orders. >> but there's generals still
5:10 am
giving directions, telling tanks where to go, where children will fall. they will justify it with plenty of internal propaganda, brian, if you're in russia right now, you think this war is going great and you think you're defeating nazis and they will feed into the propaganda by saying zelensky told every male to hold a weapon and that makes every civilian target a military target. they were firing -- i know none of that is true. but that is what they are telling their troops and population. there are some who don't want to fight. but there are plenty who are willing -- those are the ones we need to kill. >> how do they prevent the russians from seeing these images on social media? how do they prevent them from getting text messages from family members in ukraine who are sending -- >> they can't completely. >> they are almost like family. meanwhile, they were one country about 50 years ago. so general jack king looks at how we're handling this. we're so weird about vladimir
5:11 am
putin. we're so worried about what he's going to do and how they are going to interpret what we're going to do. and the migs fighter jets from the 1980s is the latest example. he weighed in. >> the ukrainians are asking for it. they are telling us they want it desperately and why -- embarrassed ourselves in this process is beyond me. we have let putin get inside our head. we're concerned about what he will do. that's really unfortunate and that has been for too long, brian frontline healthcare workers the very outset in delaying shipments of arms to them because the russians are on the ukrainian border and we were afraid that they would attack if we gave them the armed shipment, we delayed them twice. here we are again dithering over something like this. we did the sanctions not before the invasion, but we said we're going to do them at the invasion. that had no impact on putin whatsoever. >> good point. what's going to escalate the
5:12 am
point where we have to take action, use chemical weapons? how many civilians have to die? 50,000 and then we're going to do something? >> i respect that view, but i'm not worried about vladimir putin. i'm worried about my southern border. i'm worried about not allowing american troops to get dragged into a wider conflict. this is a tragic, sad, criminal family feud between russia and ukraine. so far vladimir putin has said -- >> affects the whole west. >> they are not a member of nato. for a multitude of reasons. if it leaves ukraine, it affects everybody. it's affecting our wallet. i don't want it to get bigger. >> do you think it's going to stop here? >> what indication do we have right now that he thinks, based on how bogged down he is with ukraine, that he could do a wider assault on europe? he would get if full force --

>> you think he stops here -- >> i think he stops because we stop him. >> it's our job to bleed him dry -- >> there's a shoe. those are shoes. >> that's war. >> either he stops on his own or we stop him if he starts to move farther west. >> do we have a red line? >> when i say "we," nato, europe. >> the red line is nato territory. >> chemical weapons? it's ok? biological weapons, is that a red line? >> because he uses chemical weapons in a town in ukraine, we should trigger article 5 and get our troops in a war in europe? i mean really -- >> use gas in syria -- >> we dropped bombs. >> that's true. >> these are important and difficult calculations based on an escalation that gets really serious really quick if we get too cavalier with let's do this, let's do that. pretty soon we are in a wider
5:14 am
war. >> you are so anti-cavalier. there's nobody cavalier in this administration. they are as backwards -- case in point afghanistan. >> brian, they are using these images to blame inflation, to blame gas prices. this has been a conflict for 16 days. we have seen inflation and gas prices go up since joe biden took office. inflation was 1.4 when he took office. yesterday the numbers came in for february and they were almost 8%. gas prices. when he took office, $2.40 about when -- at the end of january 2020. now this morning $4.33. that's actually -- that's the average. but in california they are paying $7, $8 a gallon for gasoline. now he's blaming russia. >> one quick thing. i want to get into the inflation thing. to your point, though, i don't actually trust, unfortunately, that this administration or this pentagon or this state
5:15 am
department would handle a conflict properly. look at afghanistan. so our leadership matters in this context too. we shouldn't be allowing vladimir putin to determine the rules of engagement. we shouldn't. but do you trust that joe biden and an tony blinking are going to execute it properly? i wish. >> the other thing to think about, why don't we start -- if they are going to take the syrian troops out and fight in ukraine, why aren't we telling the kurds make a move. why aren't we finding other things russia is interested in and start making them think about us and west, find out what their presence are. >> but ainsley tried to get us to the next topic, which --
5:16 am
inflation. this white house is trying to blame it on vladimir putin. here's the statement that president biden put out. today's inflation report is a reminder that america's budgets are stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of putin's price hike. that is the talking point that we're hearing. it's all vladimir putin. none of the policies. >> do they just think we're dumb? this is what happens when you're in an administration, you look at whatever the biggest conflict is, whatever the big news stories is. it happens to be russia right now. they think, oh, that's great, we're going to take advantage of this, we're going to blame every single situation to redirect so that we're not blamed for this, even though we are not done and we felt this in our pocket books and our bank accounts, democrats, republican, everyone across the country has felt the inflation, has felt food prices going up, electric bills going up, to fill your gas tank -- someone told me in california it was $100 for a mom to fill up
5:17 am
her gas tank. this has been going on for more than a year now. we saw it happens as soon as donald trump left and as soon as joe biden takes office. people want it fixed. they are going to have a problem in november at midterms if they don't solve this problem. they can blame it on everything under the sun, but we know that it is their fault and if they don't fix it, they are going to lose the elections in november. >> larry summers has been speaking out when economics has mismessaged. he says, these are february numbers and include only a small russia effect. this is biden's inflation he needs to own it. they go back to the 1.9 rescue package, saying that was totally unnecessary. trump gave $800 billion, which was unnecessary. we have seen $6 trillion coming out of the pandemic. you spend all this money into dollars just inflate. it's not going to stop the messages from coming out.
5:18 am
>> exactly right. they have to think people are dumb because every chart on inflation and on gas prices looks like that since he took over. yet, they are trying to say just pay attention to this really little part at the end. that's what steve put out, an obama official, four days of that consumer price index report are when the war was actually going on. >> the more we pay at the pump, the more they are going to pay in november. carly, over to you for headlines. >> carley: thank you. story out of california. l.a. police say a notorious burglar is now behind bars. authorities arresting a suspect connected to more than 70 commercial robberies. he's known as the 2:00 rock burglar for committing his crimes between 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning. placing a rock in front of businesses before breaking in. police tracking him down after a tip from a citizen. a historic portland jewelry store will close its doors after 90 years and the owners are
