they will not get it. carly: you are both speaking out about the issue asking the president to step in and get her to safety. this is great tension. thank you so much for joining us. >> we began this morning with a fox news alert fox cells bombarding across ukraine will: there was a strike at mosque is no official word on casualties in the attack. pete: russian forces are ten miles from the city.

>> reporter: you can tell there was an increase in the attacks in kiev, much of the city is surrounded. exposures, artillery, aerial bombardment mainly on the outskirts of the city but 7:00 in the morning an explosion louder than any we've heard so far it the airport nearby, significant bomb blast is taken out the family ammunition dump and the key facilities there, russia kept up the siege of other cities as well, war planes and artillery striking airfields and even a cancer hospital. it is considered the next step toward taking odesa. volodymyr zelenskyy compared russian forces with isis terrorists. >> translator: the kidnapping of the mayor is not just a

crime against an individual person or ukraine. it is a crime against democracy as a whole. i assure you, 100% of people in all democratic countries will learn about this and the actions of russian invaders will be equated to the actions of isis terrorists. >> reporter: ukrainians continue to fight back, releasing more footage of its forces blowing up another chain, warning it is a difference by invading, the use of the fire and forget javelins is a game changer, 200 chernobyl employees are being held hostage and have been since russian soldiers seized the client, shift employees who were supposed to work for 12 hours have been running it for 2 weeks as 40 hours the power has been cut off to that facility leaving reserve generators on, they have 48 hour capacity, when that runs out there were concerns of the radiation leak but no signs of

that. is assigned across the country critical infrastructure is attacked, mosques, hospitals, every target seems to be fair game for vladimir putin's forces. will: the situation on the ground in kyiv, everyone who wants to leave is vacated the city and can we assume whoever is left in kyiv is ready to stay and fight? >> reporter: the large majority of them but there are some people who say where do we go, where would we go? look at the images of 2 million people who have nowhere to go, they carry what they've got on their backs and that is it number of people say we will take our chances and most are willing to fight and that is

everyone to hunters who use their old firearms, their old weapons. everyone is willing to fight to repel the russians, half the population of the city have left in the streets are empty. they brace for the inevitable offensive against the city. rachel: do we know the condition of the mayor who is being held hostage? >> no, we don't, but certainly it is a tactic the russians may continue employing when they tried to take over towns and cities of the mayor or governor is not willing to follow their rules they will be disappeared. the russians have made clear residents can continue flying

the ukrainian flag and if they don't attack russian forces the alternative is we will flatten your city to the ground. they made clear it is one or the other, total capitulation or total annihilation. will: thank you. when you think about the courageous resistance of the ukrainians and i looked at the size of the russian air force, the second-largest air force in the world, thousands of warplanes, between the war planes they can put into action, the cruise missiles and what you are seeing outside give is an encirclement so they can lay in artillery, you have rockets, planes dropping bombs --

rachel: are these aged? >> it doesn't need to be modern to be effective and the less modern it is, the less place that offers but we will do a quick rundown of where we are. i would be lying if i said the read on this map has changed a lot. it hasn't. the terrain under control of the russians is not different but the bombardment of cities has intensified. you asked about the mayor in mariupol, we heard reports -- the administrators were told behave and you will stay, that's the result of the mayor, huge push toward odesa, shelling in michiolyev. they have been slowed and there's reports of morale being

low, you want to cut off the black sea. they haven't done so and if not connected their forces from the east and the south and the main effort remains in kyiv. the encirclement is close, 9 to 10 miles which effectively puts it into the next iteration of artillery range. that convoy seemed to disperse, the weather is cold, they can move on to soil as opposed to hardtop roads which is where they are laying in artillery positions. kyiv is a fortress. there is one report of antitank blockades in a museum from world war ii. rachel: where is chernobyl? pete: chernobyl is right here. it has been held for quite some

time. it is concerning was we heard the reports could we have nuclear fallout? if the stats are right and the power has been off for 48 hours and they have 48 hours of reserve power, something has got to give. rachel: the daughter of one of the engineers being held hostage is the people holding them hostage have no clue about protocols. that is kind of scary. pete: it really is. we have shared reports of us vet bringing aid and supplies to the ukrainian people including our next guest, commander of save our allies joins us now from the poland/ukraine border. what are you seeing? we talked about the country in the country, you are seeing a lot of the fallout.

>> reporter: the border you have people coming across, mainly women and children and i've been here quite some time, the team has been here for a month. the people coming across are more malnourished, dehydrated, cold, hollow looking, they look like -- so hollow. without their husbands. kind of male leadership in their homes, their husbands and fathers, anyone 18 to 60 is left behind so the women and children and elderly have to move on their own. many of them dealing with the cold, running out of fuel. when they get to the border they are desperate and when they make it there is a look of

what is next? what do i do now? they will have a contact in poland or a working phone and they will nowhere to go, humanitarian aid is needed to help them move on. pete: you have a ton of experience in afghanistan in your personal service and helping situations similar to this, tell us what you are doing with save our allies? how do you help these refugees? >> reporter: we started with withdrawal of afghanistan, 15,000 people, the reason we got such a big number was the expertise of special operations veterans who do precision rescue operations. our primary thing is planning to have sustainable rescue ability and sustainably push medical aid supplies forward.

we are building communications infrastructure, the cellular network will go down. a primary alternate, a pace plan for good communications infrastructure when the network goes down, distributing them within ukraine and to be able to work with other ngos, to have medical supplies pushed to the front lines and ambulatory ability to move people to those hospitals. this is the expertise we bring because of special operations experience and capabilities and we have a good plan in place, people in and out of the country and moving forward today or tomorrow to do another operation and build and infrastructure not just for

immediate rescue but have a sustained effort if it fails. rachel: to messieurs using that knowledge and experience to help people who are more desperate. for more information you can visit saveourallies.org. thank you for joining us this morning. i was wondering about the cell phones, women crossing over, how do they charge their phone, what if they lose communication but i was thinking how hard it is to travel with kids to go anywhere. imagine the diapers and milk and baby food and the cold, as a mom it is so daunting. will: trying to find your next meal or your next drink of water.

>> explaining how you don't give your kids that drink when they are thirsty. it is unfathomable. will: and also folk still behind in mariupol and towns like that. obviously not the level of refugees in ukraine but things are getting tough at home. inflation is on the rise. president biden has been asked about that and seems somewhat irritable with the question. he says it is not his fault, stop blaming him. listen to president biden. >> president biden: >> i'm sick of this stuff. we have to talk about it was the american people think it is because we are spending more money, simply not true. a big reason for inflation is vladimir putin.

from the moment he put his 150,000 troops on the ukrainian border the price of gasoline went up $.75. democrats didn't cause this problem. vladimir putin did. and we are working to fix it. because of the work we did. pete: get ready for russia russia russia 2.0 because that will be there talking point whether it works or not through december of 2022, it was not our policies are spending or our war on american energy, it was vladimir putin who led to the inflation and gas prices you see. ignore your eyes, it was him and they are getting fact checkers in the business to -- >> rachel: he knows he's not going to be able to put the entire

blame on vladimir putin but hopes if he does at least part of it he can say part of it was president biden's fault was one of the problems is it wasn't long ago when people remember the trump days and there was a great article that came out, and op-ed by andy eggs, representative from arizona titled under donald trump we had a wonderful life, the one thing if we were going back 15 or 20 years but it has only been a few years. you know i love it's a wonderful life, the movie, the article is imagining if trump had won, going back in time to when there was prosperity and jobs and prices were low and every one could go on a little vacation and those days are over. will: your memory doesn't have

to be that long, you only need a memory of three months to add up the timeline but i'm curious if people's minds will blur, inflation rose 7.3% in december, 7.9% or 7.5% in january or february, vladimir putin didn't invade until february 24th. will they remember inflation and rising gas prices over a longer period of time. inauguration day -- that doesn't -- on your screen, that ends february 22nd, vladimir putin invaded february 24th was will people remember the rising tide -- rachel: you have immediately keeps feeding this, they are saying putin too. >> we were told it would be

transitory. that was the talking point, transitory inflation, then it was the supply chain and then covid. rachel: he did say it is not because of government spending which is a complete lie, so much of the -- >> we are going to break down $1.5 trillion bills up which has gotten very little attention, a big chunk of republicans voted for it. we will him some names on that but they are trying to peg it to the buildup. the buildup is where it started. >> the troop buildup on the ukrainian border. that is when the oil markets -- i'm curious of the oil market response to the pressures that might come, the rhetoric from democrats leading up to the election saying we will end fossil fuels, did that scare the market?

promises and anticipation can jitter the market. >> rachel: the keystone pipeline, if it had not been shut down and america said we will devote so much energy, we have a power to make this happen because we are americans but we need our government to allow that process to happen and he shut it down. pete: love being here, let's do it. shinzo abe --jussie smollett makes an exit from the courtroom. >> i'm not suicidal! i'm innocent! pete: his sentence in the hate crime hoax.

will: a shocking story about drug use on spring break. police made an arrest after 6 w. point cadets overdosed on fentanyl laced cocaine. some of those cadets are fighting for their lives. >> reporter: police did not give any other information and authorities are worried about more potential overdoses. take a listen. >> we are told that four of those individuals have taken a substance believed to be cocaine laced with fentanyl. they went into cardiac arrest and we got some of those individuals passed so the heart is beginning again. the concern is the other ods over the next couple days. >> they had been at a house party on spring break, four of

them immediately overdosed after injecting the drug and two others were exposed when they gave mouth to mouth to the first victim. three cadets remain in the hospital, two of them in critical condition, one is still. west point officials say they are investigating the incident and although they didn't identify the students two are on the football team was according to the cdc 75,000 us drug overdoses were connected to fentanyl during the 12-month period that ended last april. pete: congress passing a $1.5 trillion spending bill, what is in it? let's break it down. this is quite a doozy. this was passed in the middle of the night though nancy pelosi said 2:00 in the morning is not the middle of the night.

2700 page omnibus spending bill, $1.5 trillion which will fund the government through september. republicans have no victories in this bill except they were able to not tie it to additional covid funding, they wanted more covid funding and they got that stripped out. otherwise what is in this bill, no one could have read if they tried, that's how detailed and complex it is, $13.6 billion in aid for ukraine, likely this money is a lot of the reason many republican senators ultimately voted for the bill, the shiny object of the moment attached to all the other spending priorities of washington dc which include $20 billion for climate resiliency programs. if they didn't get the green new deal in its complete form they are trying to get it incrementally which is what democrats often do, $20 billion in that chunk in this bill. $1.45 billion for southern

border response. there is no wall funding in the southern border response. if you read the details it is mostly migrant facilitation and processing. a few cameras, will not secure the southern border and time in there for infrastructure, child care and early childhood development, $17.2 billion more for the federal government to institute its prerogatives, i'm sure there's a lot of great stuff in there. the defense budget has been increased $726 billion, the one thing everyone can agree on and i want to get to this, the earmarks, earmarks are back, two amendments republicans attempted to attach to this bill, one was to defund the vaccine mandate which failed, for federal employees and

private businesses and the other was to block earmarks which happens when individual legislators can slide in their favorite pet project and blows government spend, there is $9.7 billion of earmarks, a few of them for derelict lobster pots, greenhouses in new york city thanks to chuck schumer, $1.6 million in equitable growth of shellfish, diversity and inclusion programs at multiple universities earmarks, sheep experiment station in the infrastructure, reduce inequity in access to solar power for $2 million and this past with 68 votes in the senate, you've got the combination of republicans, leadership, mcconnell, your predictable rhinos in murkowski, you also have chuck grassley, moran -- it is for

any number of reasons, could be for defense spending, aid to ukraine, something there for everybody but so many things that are wasteful the over 30 republicans willing to say no. this is typical back to the swamp washington dc spending bill that will have nothing to do with inflation. will: everybody likes spending somebody else's money. you brought in the initiatives in the earmarks. i would be fascinated to find out how much diversity, equity and inclusion is earmarked in every single one of these from the climate resiliency programs, childhood education, how many of those programs ensure that what we've come to know as equity which is truly racist policies about making baked into the cake throughout. rachel: the climate resilience programs, a lot of things for

native american climate resiliency, millions of dollars towards that but i want to talk about the southern border response, mostly for migrants, another report that came out earlier this week showing many of these facilities that are taking the youngest kids, come across the border testing not for covid though they are probably doing that but also gonorrhea, chlamydia, stds so they know what is happening to these children as they come across the border and their answer is more money, test them for stds instead of shutting down the border in stopping this abuse of children, human and child sex trafficking. you are right about the child care so this is about getting kids the younger -- they know

they have to keep going younger and younger. they told you they want to teach your kindergartners about transgender -- and if you don't agree with that you are a homophobe. >> a center for race, equity education in connecticut, 470,004 race, inclusion and social equity institute at ohio state university so across the country but even if it is not named, in 2700 pages, no congressman or senator could conceivably read language for every program. rachel: my husband introduce the end to the earmarks, it is back. you wish you could separate these bills and vote on them individually.

there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions,

post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. rachel: back with headline starting with this. gabby petito filing a lawsuit against the parents of brian laundie , they knew he murdered the 22-year-old. the x exhibited extreme and outrageous conduct beyond the

possible bounds of decency and regarded as shocking, atrocious and intolerable in a civilized community. jussie smollett is behind bars marking the beginning of his 150 day jail sentence for orchestrating a fake hate crime against himself in 2019. in a dramatic exit in the courtroom warned he may not be safe behind bars.

british foreign secretary who was in washington this weekend we are looking at a historic moment with regard to immense threats posed by our adversary so this is a seminal moment, she's right to be pointing out the gravity of the situation is what the west needs to do and she has been calling for the west increase defense spending to end energy dependence on countries like russia and to strengthen our international alliances, this is a strong speech and a strong contrast between the leadership your sing from the british government led by boris johnson on the ukraine crisis as opposed to the week need response overall from the biden presidency and i think the british have been more effective in leading with regard to the ukraine response as opposed to the very very i

would say week approach from the biden presidency and there has been no real big picture vision from the biden white house regarding ukraine and how to deal with the russian threat. it has been more effective across the atlantic from the british government who have been leading in europe on this important issue. will: to convince the american people, elevated commitment to doing something in ukraine it is incumbent on whoever is making the argument to explain why this is vital to their national security. can you do that for us? to compare it to 9/11 is quite the comparison and it is a humanitarian crisis was why does it compel american intervention? >> what we are seeing in ukraine is an immense humanitarian tragedy but we are witnessing acts of tremendous

evil by the russian government and invading a free sovereign nation, the united states and the american people have a vested interest in ensuring our adversaries do not invade countries across the atlantic because this will embolden enemies of the free world, the likes of russia, china, iran pose significant long-term threats to the united states directly as well so we have to ensure our adversaries don't get away with this kind of monstrous barbarism and savagery because they will turn their fights on nato allies in europe and they will turn fights directly against the united states as well so we cannot appease the enemies of the free world. will: the new york times admitting masks and lockdowns were not so helpful in stopping covid after all. that is coming up.

vaccinated and boosted. they are larger differences and case rates which medical contributor doctor nicole sapphier joins us. there is not much difference between different ways of handling covid and all the restrictions but not much difference in the rates of covid. >> one of the things is the uncritical appraisal of mandates which anyone outside the group think mandate was labeled anti-science but it was anti-politicization. the new york times looked at red and blue states to see if the masking and so forth had any effect, for the last two years, the mask mandates did not necessarily have any effect

on the number of cases. states that had higher vaccination and booster rates had lower hospitalization and death rates. we are still living in a time when we have even preschoolers being told they have 2 where masks inside. oakland making children where masks but we have this objective evidence demonstrating mask mandates don't have a benefit and one of the largest studies of school masking, 600,000 kids in spain should children who are masked versus unmasked, not a noticeable step down, they look at 5-year-olds and compare them to 6-year-olds and above and whether they were wearing masks did not make a measurable difference in transmission. what they did see is the older of the child the more likely to

transmit the virus. this is something we've known for two years, the higher the transmissibility the older you are. rachel: there is so much packed in what you said. with the lockdowns we destroyed businesses, locked down businesses, destroyed the middle-class and there was no reason to do that. when we spent so much on covid, we are still masking kids and torturing them. is it time to end the federal mask mandates? >> we don't have a benefit to these masks the way the majority of people are wearing them, they are not wearing them in a continuous fashion. children should not be wearing masks anymore.

the nih embarrassingly flawed and biased and putting them out to support their propaganda but when you look at the hard data the generalized wearing of masks do not have a benefit and we've not demonstrated that. rachel: time to sit our children free. thank you for joining us. next, personal drones are eyes in the sky as civilians do what they can do to defend their country. next guest operates a drone company and helps to track russian forces. stay with us. s, voltaren is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel for powerful arthritis pain relief. voltaren, the joy of movement.

skies, anything ukraine can have as far as weapons, what are you doing? >> we are pretty proud to be ukrainians right now. this war has united us. was we have to do is defend our country. every person in the country is doing something important so pilots are working, for the ukrainian defense industry and all kind of work to increase safety to increase the defense potential. this is rogue drones as well as

drones, all of this being done by nonmilitary operators working in the energy sector, joining forces. this is what is happening in ukraine. pete: is there a kinetic or military component? direct operations dropping munitions or rockets or is it all surveillance? >> i think the main purpose is surveillance and i have dimension once more, all the evidence about actions that was done during the military operation in ukraine.

we are providing data with the drones, dealing with the actions against the ukrainian people and right now, if you are talking about military operations for different drones it is possible. it is being done on both sides, russia, and ukraine seeking an opportunity too. russia is already using small drones, dropping bombs on defense facilities in ukraine but they are looking at this possibility. pete: the company is drone you a. valerie iakovenko, thank you,

>> the russians have a grip or melitpol. they're holding him at the city. some of the critical city office which is where most of the city's usual day-to-day operations would be run from. but, yes, i mean, look, the russians have come in. they try to take over the city. they try -- what they have done in the few cities and towns they have taken over. they try initially to keep them running as normal. when they encounter resistance though that very quickly changes. and the more their forces are attacked the more they push back. bear in mind they haven't been able to enter many cities at all. they currently hold the city of kherson but everywhere else, all the major cities they are still surrounding them. they have been unable to penetrate ukrainian defenses. why we are seeing them shelling indiscriminately. they made it very clear they wanted to come in and run the country. peacefully. they would allow cities and towns to continue flying ukrainian flag and they continue to insist as many of the soldiers believe they are coming

in peace keeping missions. there is fierce resistance. this will not -- there won't be an occupation. they t. can't last here because everyone is against it. >> pete: benjamin, you are right the resilience of the ukrainian people on the ground is incredible. my question intt sky. >> we have difficult to determine. you are saying bombardment of kyiv is intensifying. from what you can tell, are these bombs dropped from planes? are these surface-to-surface cruise missiles? is this the introduction of artillery which has gotten closer to the city and more indiscriminate? which when it comes to the capital city key to them pushing out zelenskyy which is what they want. what are the weapons they are using to bombard? >> is all three. the artillery pieces that we have been watching for the last couple of weeks in that 40-mile long convoy we have now seen

based on new satellite images take up firing positions in some of the tree lines outside the city. about 20 miles outside the city. so within range. the airport though was hit last night. the ammo dump that was hit, that came from rockets that were fired from much further away. and then yesterday, some air kevin's in the city or two days ago, brought down a russian mig that was flying overhead. so all three are being used at the moment. when we talk about air power. and we keep saying this. it is remarkable that russia does not have air expire or at this yet. they have 50-plus jets of their own. and they are able to fly sorties, it's been one of the mysteries how the russians with their very advanced f 400 air defense systems based largefully belarus cover much of the country have not been able to overwhelm the ukrainian air force. they are using everything. they really rearview mirror a lot of artillery. a heavy artillery fire at long distance. that is indiscriminate that's why we are seeing so many

civilians killed. >> pete: benjamin hall, thank you for breaking it down for us this morning. >> will: i find that video of the mayor being kidnapped fascinating. because i think it tells us a couple of things. gives us insight into a russian strategy and b long-term goals. if i might, go over the maps if we can. leave the camera on as well. i have a few questions i would like to run by you guys. first of all, here is the lay of the land if you can take a look. russian advances in the northern parts of ukraine. coming from both quite honestly the northwest and northeast. you can see how close they are getting to kyiv right here. but, and, pete, i want to ask you, this as we take a closer look, this is in the northwest of kyiv. where you can begin to see explosions taking place. now, you talked a lot this morning, pete on artillery on the outlines of kyiv. talk about the mayor being kidnapped in the southeast so

give me the russian strategy. surround the city with artillery, pummel it into submission. then at some point assume you are going to allow quote unquote daily life to continue to take place until some politician gives you burn back. >> pete: they know they can't hold it let alone administer it. pound them into submission across the board. already pushed most of the civilian population out there. is no actual economy. as long as they behave and submit plotly and leave constable behind just a small grouping and move on. they don't have enough troops to hold. >> will: that's the key though, can you hold and subdue a population being radicalized with your bombardment. >> pete: not over time you wouldn't think. there is still part of a push to get to larger cities like kyiv, but i don't think it's part and parcel. >> rachel: will, just as interesting was the video of the

elderly people guarding their apartment and going you get back there. and then what was interesting, too. was that the russian military backed down, which also tells you these guys don't want to do, this right? they are seeing these old people defending their apartment. saying you get out of here and eventually they walk away. what does that tell you? >> pete: what we also don't see what happens that night or next day to that elderly couple. >> that's probably true, too. that sign of resistance could have them marked as well. you just disappearing is a real thing. you don't know. what i find fascinating it shows the current strategy into i believe melitpol, we have it here current strategy played out in cities in the south and east as applied to kyiv and informs you of what you hope to accomplish long term. i think, rachel, to your point they have quote such a bear on their hands of dealing with the people and 9 politicians in these cities to accomplish their long-term goals. this is the gains of the russian

military in the south. fascinating note how this effects the world at large. knee on, i didn't know knee on was a major world product we make. knee on is used to make lasers which the world and china uses to in turn create chips for our computers. for our phones and cars. something like 50% of the world's knee on supplies come out of mariupol and odesa, those two plants right now are shut down. there is reserves of knee on so it can continue making chips. but over the long term we are already having problems. i don't know if you have tried to order a car in the past year you are four or five months out you can't get the chips to get your car. ukraine a major supplier what goes into making that by the way, here is the bigger map that shows nato commitments where we are troop levels around ukraine of course poold is the big focus, 4700 u.s. troops added look at poold and germany.

we are attempting to show some level of commitment should vladimir putin's ambition extend beyond ukraine. back to the point and over here. whatever vladimir putin's ambitions may be, i think he is stuck. to some extent is he bogged down in what could turn down to be a very long war in tempt to submit requires resources, military, job how ready he is to commit more to say latvia or poland. >> rachel: did i read an interesting article. we talked -- we probably don't talk enough about this alliance between china and russia now. >> pete: i agree with you on that for sure. >> rachel: one of the things that i read that i found interesting is that some experts who these people are i don't know. they said there is some indication that maybe china is not loving all of this as much as we would think. and so -- they may in the end be

pushing russia to possibly find some sort of resolution here. i don't know if that's true or not. but i think it is very interesting for us to monitor the china -- china is in a position to get russia to come to some sort of agreement to meet with zelenskyy, i hope that our people are doing that there are other people by the way who say that the democrat party and other sort of deep state forces in our government actually like this proxy war. think it might be some way to long-term damage russia who they really hate. i don't know where this is all playing out. but it seems like china is playing a role here for sure. >> pete: we for decades it was our goal to keep russia and china apart. not allied and don't let their interests intersect we have done exactly the opposite right now. we will see if there is pressure from beijing on moscow. will, as you pointed to that map about ukraine and the surrounding countries, the

silver lining right now at this moment, again, time stamp 7:12 eastern time is that vladimir putin both hasn't shown additional ambition yet for other nato countries, rhetorically not talking about it there is always bluster. but there is no real indication at this point. if anything, the only thing he is trying to do get belarus to send more troops into ukraine. he is calling in more reinforce. s into ukraine. to your point, the more is he bogged down there, the less powerful the argument is that poland is next or latvia is next. if you can't even control ukraine, what makes you think you are going to go further west. so that quagmire does become strategically significant. which is why stopping them or slowing them significantly in ukraine does have significant ramifications. >> rachel: you talk about the product that is for. >> will: knee on. >> rachel: knee on for the chips. also not forget look at that map, ukraine, moscow, massive producers of wheat and how will

that impact, you know, wheat prices, food supply for the world really? so, this has. >> will: ukraine and russia i believe are a third the world's food supply. they don't feed the united states they feed turkey, lebanon. when those countries can't get wheat from ukraine and russia world market making price goes up making prices for our food go up. pete pete i would note forever our audience three of us talking in the commercial break. we are just as cognizant as you there is other really big news going on in our country. really big wide open border in our country an administration right now that has shown shear incompetence on the world stage and is attempting to use this war as a talking point to distract away from inflation and gas prices. >> rachel: 100 percent. >> pete: as we break down the x's and o's because it's important and nuclear show down we also understand there is a lot more. >> rachel: we will try to balance that out for all of you

on the show today. now to another fox news alert. the price of gas. we are seeing it right now, skyrocketing across the country. >> pete: joe biden is shifting all blame to vladimir putin. he is offering little support for u.s. energy production. >> will: todd piro is live in upstate, new york with the latest on the energy crisis. todd? >> todd: good morning to you, will, pete, and rach chevment as we all know as the u.s. and other western allies work to cut off russia's economy americans feeling the pain at the pump. take a look at these nuns. we are here in port chester, new york, if you want to fill up with a credit card and you just want regular it's going to cost you 4.69 a gallon. right now, of course the average price for regular gas $4.33 per gallon across the nation. up more than 40 cents from this time last week. up nearly a dollar from just a month ago. at this time last year a gallon of gas only costs $2..83 on average. boy, what a difference a year

makes during a friday address to the house democratic caucus president biden once again playing the blame game? second big reason for inflation is vladimir putin. the moment he put his over 150,000 troops on the ukrainian border, the price of gasoline in january went up 75 cents. >> todd: according to a new a.a.a. survey nearly 60% of americans say they plan on changing their lifestyle now that gas is above $4 a gallon. guys, it's not just drivers. allegiant and alaska air slashing some of their flight schedule to deal with high jet fuel costs and take a look at diesel. diesel impacts the truckers, they are paying a lot more to get goods to us. do you know who is paying more for those goods? yup, you and me. back to you. >> rachel: thank you, todd. >> pete: generous location of upstate new york. i will give it to you.

>> will: are you filling up on your way home? >> todd: i'm in upstate, new york like, i don't know, i'm real near buffalo. i made it there after being on "fox & friends first." i somehow made it all the way up to buffalo in 20 minutes. >> pete: every manhattanite everything north of manhattan is upstate. doesn't matter where you are stop at a gas station numbers like that. >> rachel: actually, if he was in california we would be $5. wow, it's getting so bad, you guys. >> will: go over to carley with additional headlines for us this morning. >> carley: we do have headlines actor alec baldwin blaming helena for her own death on the set. claims hutchins directed him to point the gun towards her. both believing the weapon had no live rounds. baldwin citizen continues to deny any responsibility for the deadly incident. a tragic story out of tennessee. a rampaging camel stomps two men

to death after escaping from enclosure at petting zoo. the camel attacking a sheriff's office vehicle as police work to get people to safety. officers say they were forced to put the camel down. it's not clear how it got loose. one of the victims being remembered as a beloved father and caring man. the bulletin of atomic scientists not changing the time on infamous doomsday clock. 100 seconds to midnight. multiple times when president trump was in office. no movement now that biden is in office. despite russia's. on high alert. those your headlines, guys. i know it's not it the politics of this. >> pete: doomsday clock went unjust because of trump and now potential for nuclear war. >> carley: university of chicago does the doomsday clock.

>> rachel: i have a daughter there. [laughter] >> carley: not just vladimir putin. i think this chernobyl situation is really concerning. i heard you guys talking about it i think this is under reported story there are what is it 200 workers that are being held hostages by russian forces. working at gunpoint. cause a little bit of concern of nuclear leak. and now there is, you know, ukrainian intelligence saying that they could use what's going on in chernobyl as a possible false flag for something as well. >> rachel: operating on reserves. and people that are holding them at gunpoint don't know anything about running a nuclear power plant. that's a problem. >> will: doomsday clock hasn't moved. >> pete: move it back. seems like we are doing great. carley, thank you very much. >> carley: thank you, guys. >> rachel: spring break to florida takes a terrifying concern. six of them overdose offer fentanylal laced cocaine a

>> will: we're back with a developing story. police arrest one person after six cadets overdoes on fentanyl

laced cocaine after a spring break trip to florida. four men went into card ache arrest after taking the drug. listen to this, two others game exposed to the dangerous cocktail performing mouth-to-mouth to the initial victim. our next guest warns this is part of a larger opioid crisis that shows no signs of stopping. former d.e.a. special joins us now. i would love to revisely what just said. yes part of larger opioid crisis. i don't know how we escape the fact this isn't a poisoning of the american fentanyl signal a poisoning. i don't know what it's doing cocaine. that's not to excuse west point students for taking cocaine. what's going on with fentanyl in everything? >> will, thank you very much. >> thanks for talking about this topic. 258 americans dying every day. leading cause of deaths americans 18 to 45 years old. fentanyl is super powerful.

made in labs in mexico. the mexican greedy cartels who are making billions of dollars are flooding our streets in america and they really don't care, you know, mixing in cocaine, mixing in miami. we even had cases of fentanyl in marijuana the bottom line is they are making billions of dollars and they're killing our citizens at record levels. and the white house is not talking about it. we don't have any public service announcements, and, unfortunately, american families are suffering every day. just imagine a dream liner 787 crashinger day of the week and killing aboard the flight. the american public would be outraged, right? >> will: right. >> look back many years ago when tylenol was poisoned. they put poison in seven americans died. everyone was outraged. now our young kids are dying and nobody is even talking about it kamala harris is talking about the ukrainian citizens, my heart goes out to those people. but, what about americans that are dying at the rate of 285 a

day? >> will: derrick, to your point it's coming from china. you point out the mexican drug cartel's role produce fentanyl is produced in china. from my understanding and help correct me if i am wrong, fentanyl is a cheap synthetic opioid replacement. so, in other words, somebody attempting to do heroin might find out they are doing or not know they are doing fentanyl it's a cheaper way for the drug dealer to sell you the same high. what is it doing in marijuana, in cocaine, these other types of drugs? what's it doing in pills? i mean, i don't understand the forgive me for this business decision of the drug cartel in putting fentanyl in all these other drugs. it seems like intentional poisoning. >> well, there is a couple of theories, will, bottom line the cartels are in the business to make billions of dollars. they are succeeding. now with the migrant smuggling cash flow is off the charts. you got to remember as well, the chinese transnational criminals

are actually doing the money laundering for the cartels. the money is circulating very quickly back to the command and control in mexico. the reality is that we have to go after those production labs in mexico and we have to shut down the chemical flow from china and shut down the money going back to the cartels. we have to step up the game. >> will: right. and on top of that it's so deadly the two of these students were simply giving mouth to mouth to the other students and they themselves end up poisoned and in the hospital. derek maltz, thank you for giving us insight, thank you. >> thank you. >> will: ukraine displays a strong show of resistance against russian forces. up next, we break down the tactics of both sides with medal of honor recipient david bellavia. why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's slider sunday! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday!

>> pete: we're back with a fox news alert. president zelenskyy posting a new video in the last hour assuring his people that ukrainian forces are doing everything they can to, quote, deprive the enemy of their wish to continue war, end quote. as ukraine stands strong despite russian shelling, it's becoming more and more clear that putin's hopes of a quick victory, well, they are completely gone. here to break down the tactic of both sides retired army staff sergeant medal of honor david bellavia, i would say quick victory are completely gone. as we see from what the russians are doing they still think a victory, however they may define it is possible. dave, before i ask you the question i want to break down a little bit of what russian tactics have looked like in ukraine and as someone who has seen the worst of war, david, help me understand their approach and ukraine's approach. you are looking at sieges around major cities. we know that they are moving in on kyiv. they have captured the mayor of

melitopoltalking about cluster s and vacuum bombs ear denial weapons. they are not specific. they are not necessarily accurate and they do a great deal of damage. and we have seen, david, these tactics russians used them in the 1990s in chechnya and syria in 2015. when you look at what the russians are doing right now, what's your big take away? >> all right. so let's talk about these cluster bombs first of all. we still get stories all the time of a french farmer that's out there doing his thing on his plot of land and his tractor blows up because he hit a munition from world war ii. sometimes world war i. those are dumb ordnances back from generations ago. a cluster bomb is 60% ever the clusters go off, you still have 40% of these little bomblets all over the place and when the battle is over, those little bomblets are going to go off.

they are meant and designed for troops out in the open, armor out in the open. not for playgrounds or hospitals or residential areas. there is absolutely no military defense for why this is being used tactically by the russians. so the russians fight our version of the task force battalion the russians are using what they call battalion tactical groups. ptg. putin's 1650 siege warfare of kyiv, you are going to need between 55 and 60 of these btgs just to surround the city, the capital of kyiv. think about that. that's over half of the russian military force that they have in country. so putin has gone to the bullpen and is he bringing a division of syrians in to cover down and, pete, the problem with the

russian offense right now is that they are not playing defense. and they are getting their pockets picked. rear security, force protection measures, if you surround that -- that's a very thin defense. and one of the major problems and evidence that we know this is happening is their generals are being killed next to privates and next to sergeants. remember that scene in patton. patton walked out and directed traffic because everyone was stymied. that's a sign that you have got some problems with your ncos and problems withstanding communications. when you are losing 5, 2, 3, 4 star generals in convoys. you have a lost all control of the battle space. our generals don't show up in the trench in the american army. russia is in deep troubling here. >> pete: ultimately then they fall back on their air superiority whether it is indiscriminate shelling with artillery or cluster bombs,

whether it's bombs dropped from the air as well. david, i want to -- you are so great on tactics. have such a deep level of understanding. when you look at the ukrainian side, you talked about some of their attacks on the supply lines and logistics and the support for the russians. but, they don't -- we're not giving them migs at this point. although reports are that they still have dozens of their own. stingers and javelins, yes. there is also, i don't know a whole lot about star streak missiles, maybe you can fill me in on that, david, and we are mulling providing that as well. you want to point to the comparison of the battle of mosul in 2017 where the islamic state held out their -- with in shear warfare and bombardment for nine months. how long could the ukrainians hold out when you look at the tactics of the russians? >> you know, pete, i think you and i are used to fighting an enemy that knew that they were dead the moment they signed up for service against american forces in afghanistan. or iraq. right? their job was to kill as many americans as they could. but they were gone.

the problem here for the russians is the ukrainians are actually. survive in an urban fight because of their success so far. we talked about the javelin a lot. and a lot of people are talking about this high explosive anti-tank round fired by the javelin, right? the javelin is a two component missile system. here is the most part of the javelin, command launch unit. that's the targeting system on the javelin. i rode out every day in iraq with my unit in iraq we carried a clue not a javelin missile. the clue, the targeting system. wife? because they have thermal imaging, when i'm in the defense, pete, can i see little white critters walking around in a palm grove and i'm going to knock them out of their nikes before they have a chance to shoulder their weapon systems. ukrainians have clues all over that army right now. and they are able to see the russians before the russians

know they are being seen. and a defensive position. that clue is a combat multiplier. >> pete: and it means that they are able to drag tout longer and longer, especially when they have had now over two weeks to fortify the defense of kyiv. david bell we a thank you for breaking it down for us. really appreciate it. >> thank you. he knocked a few guys out of their nikes are in his time. joe biden shifting blame once again for inflation. as prices hit a had 0 year high find out what you can do to financial stress. powerful bomb cyclone. rick tracks it all next. i booked our hotel on kayak. it's flexible if we need to cancel. cancel. i haven't left the house in years. nothing will stop me from vacation. no canceling.

>> rachel: live look at pittsburgh where residents are bracing for a powerful bomb cyclone heading their way along the east coast. more than 20 million americans are now under winter storm warnings. the system is dumping snow in alabama and tennessee and it's expected to bring damaging winds and heavy snow in to the east georgia. the florida panhandle and the carolinas. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. a cyclone bomb sounds pretty bad, rick. >> rick: it does. it means pressure drops by over 25 millie bars in a 24-hours.

that's what we are talking with. and it is going to do that really rapidly strengthening storm. cold air has settled in across much of the u.s. take a look at this. minus 8 right now in fargo. kansas city 7, after having what felt like spring was here. it is not. it is very cold across much of the country again and along with that winter storm warnings in effect across interior sections of the mid-atlantic and up towards parts of the northeast and appalachians. more snow. some of it heavy. this is a look at the storm right here. the southern side of it, that's where we have the weather. that's where we are going to be talking about that threat for tornadoes throughout the day today. throughout parts of florida when this front clears and across parts of the mid-atlantic and northeast that's where we have the snow. some of the snow is going to be really significant across interior sections. well over a foot accumulating by the time this is done. that said the cities looking at just a couple of inches, starting off as rain and converting over into snow. one thing that will happen behind this rachel though cold air is going to settle in across part of the southeast.

freeze watches for tonight into tomorrow morning. temps into the mid 20's. so very cold all the way down across parts of the south. rachel? >> rachel: you know i don't like cold weather, rick. >> rick: me either. >> rachel: two arizona people here. thanks, rick. >> rick: exactly. >> rachel: as the u.s. inflation rate reaches another 40-year high under his administration president biden is passing the blame. >> second big reason for inflation is vladimir putin. from the moment price of gasoline went up 75 cents. >> rachel: as you pay a significant increase on everything from gas to food crobled.com dan, let me start with this. the biden administration is are the trying to start this new #,

it's called putin price hike. is he trying to blame everything on putin. but i am a mom. guy to the grocery store. i have been feeling this inflation since last year. since last summer. when he said it was transitory. >> >> well, hi, good morning to you, rachel. rachel: good morning. >> 10 months now -- hi, 10 months we have had inflation of 5% or higher. so i guess it depends on how you define short-term or transitory. it's clear that our policymakers under estimated not just the amount of inflation that we would experience but also the duration that we're experiencing. i don't think they anticipated it going this long. and it looks like we are still in the early innings of this thing, i'm afraid. the average consumer out there as you said whether he or she is grocery shopping. filling their tank, they are the ones that feel the pinch. lower income consumers and middle income consumers who really bear the brunt of this thing. rachel: yeah. especially i think so much about our elderly who are on fixed incomes. there is nothing they can do.

and they are just not being able to pay their heating bills. you say we can alleviate our stress? how can we do that? >> well, there is a few things consumers can do, right? obviously we want to shop smart, you know, knowing when to buy, what to buy and how to if i can biit all those things that just go into being a smart american consumer, that's important. i always say use the right credit card. you want to use a credit card that gives you the most cash back. especially during times like this. when every penny counts. if you are filling up your gas tank, use that credit card that gives you the most cash back for every gallon that you put in your tank. smart little things like that, rachel, can help us get through this. or at least lessen some of the sting of inflation, right? but at the end of the day, really for personal workers, the only good news is that wages are up. now, they are not up as much as inflation, but now is that time, rach, to go in there, ask for the raise. maybe, you know, negotiate a

better working arrangement. maybe leave your company and go to another one because wages are going up want and this can also lessen some of the sting of this thing. rachel: i have heard that advice before that if you were ever thinking about wanting to get a raise, this was the time to ask for it. good advice and every little bit counts. go back to home he can class stuff we learned how to save at the grocery store and coupon clipping. people are really feeling the pain. dan, thank you so much for joining us this morning. really appreciate it. >> you got it, rach. we will get through this. rachel: yeah, well i think it's going to be longer than people thought. thank you, dan. >> for sure. rachel: staff at russia's last television station walked off the job. we will be joined by the chief editor of that network who says he was forced to flee russia for his life. stay with us. ♪ italiano

♪ ♪ pete: staff as russia's last independent television station walking out live on air while declaring no to war after being shut down over their coverage of the ukraine invasion. rachel: next guest chief editor

of that network and has since fled the country fleeing for his life. will: tv rain editor in chief jocko joins us now. thank you for being with us. an honor to have you on the show this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> you bet. so your staff walks out. tell me about the pressure, what happens in russia when your voice starts to be controlled, starts to be silenced? how does that mechanism play out you. >> well, this mechanism plays out as -- never been easy for independent media in russia these last two weeks changed everything, after the war started. while not -- while not calling this a war, the kremlin is calling it special military operation. but while not calling it a war, they started military censorship

in russia. they basically they basically told all the media not to call this war. and only to give information from the mutual defense. and then they adopted the law saying that those who spread -- those who spread fake news about russian soldiers could face 15 years in jail. so, it's just impossible to operate in such circumstances. first they blocked our website. then they sent a notice that we are spreading fake information about russian soldiers. and then we decided to shut down the tv station because we had a choice. we could stop telling the truth and basically become the press

office of russian defense or we could continue telling the truth as we have been doing over 12 years of our existence and face 15 years in jail. we decided to stop operating. pete: tikhon, what an incredible perspective attempting to fight for some sort of press freedom inside of russia. if you are inside of russia told and you turn on your tv or listen to the radio, do you get anything other than the official government line? >> no. no. all you get on tv and on the radio stations are just propaganda. not only tv rain was shut down but very famous radio station the most popular news radio station was also was shut down and when you turn on the station

will you will not hear it you will listen to sputnik part of rt russia propaganda radio station. the only way to get real information is web sites which can you [inaudible] or social media such as telegram and others. but when you turn on tv or radio, no, you will only hear the propaganda telling you how great russian soldiers are fighting nazis in ukraine which is absolutely fake. this is not true. rachel: so interesting talking to you. i'm sure you have a better handle. something we have been trying to get a handle of. which is what is the sentiment of the majority of russian people. you say they are getting a lot of fake information but they could if they wanted to get access to others. what is the general sentiment that you have or you know of with the russian people? how do they feel about what their leader has done and in war in ukraine? >> you know, it's hard to say.

because russia is authoritarian state. there is no technology in authoritarian state of course. if you look at the poll you will see there is an organization which name is very cream lynn ideology institution. it says 62% of russians they supported the war and 20 -- i guess 9% do not support the war. even if pro-cream institution said 29%. every third russian do not support the war it means that the number of people who do not support the war is much bigger. is much higher. also, we -- i don't know about the majority of russians. but i know that a lot of russians, they do not support the war. they do not understand why this war is happening. why people are dying. russian soldiers, ukrainian

soldiers, civilians, but the problem is that a lot of people are brainwashed. a lot of people are confused. they are getting over years and years they have been getting information about neo nazis in ukraine who want to kill all the russians. who are being guided by americans, et cetera, et cetera. all this nightmare, all this stupid propaganda. but a lot of people, unfortunately, believe in it. but for a majority, i don't think that the majority of russians support the war. because there is another problem, terrible tragedy that a lot of people soon will get coffins of their loved ones who died in ukraine. i mean russian soldiers who died for nothing because this war has no justification. and after getting this coffin they will realize that something bad is happening. will: you talk about the role

those coffins coming home might play in changes the russian mindset. i'm curious the effect of economic sanctions. i want to ask you a two fold question. how are you noticed life on the ground in russia changing the economy in russia changing over the past couple of weeks. back to the polling, how much trust can you place in these russian polls. but some of the polling seems to suggest that russians placed the blame for their economic situation on the west not on vladimir putin. can you speak to both of those issues? >> well, it's obvious because that's what russian propaganda tells them. russian propaganda doesn't tell why these sanctions were imposed. russian propaganda doesn't tell that -- sanctions were imposed for starting the war. they are -- russian propaganda sanctions are imposed. this is terrible. they had no right to impose the sanctions. they are capable for our russian

economical problem. that's what propaganda does. but as for consequences of the sanctions, i think it's too early to say because-this is just starting. but there is a very, i would say, symbolic thing. there is very, very famous picture, the photograph, it was in 19, i guess, 91, when the first mcdonald's restaurant was open in moscow. it was a big deal because it was a symbol of russia getting closer to the west. and now all mcdodges restaurants are closed in moscow. it is just a symbol. it's not a big deal. but it is just a symbol. but if you look at all the sanctions, i think we -- it's impossible to predict the consequences. i think the consequences will be

terrible. i think no one actually understands the scale of the consequences. so we should -- we should wait, i don't know, several weeks or months and even though russian government is saying that everything is under control, we don't care about your this is not true. we know that we -- that [inaudible] the head of russian central bank she was trying to retire vladimir putin did not let her. but, as we know, all the government is in shock. they don't know what to do with this. you are saying we should wait and see how this plays out the effect of the sanctions, as of now we hear about the ruble following and losing its value. as of now you have not seen the average russian citizen suffer greatly under economic sanctions? >> well, it's hard for me to say because i'm in russia.

what i get from russia, people, they have what to eat. they have their apartment. they have gas and et cetera, et cetera. but, ruble crushed. all the hope to go on a vacation somewhere in europe, all these hopes are gone. russians now do not have access to app. store, google play, no one could listen to spotify. they couldn't watch netflix, et cetera, et cetera. this is the start ofites labor . i don't know, but i think that part of russia, part of those who are even brainwashed by the propaganda, they will sit and think why this happening. and then they will start to get information about what is going on in ukraine.

pete: you mentioned americans, i was struck by a quote that came off the battlefield reported in our press that russian soldier said to a ukrainian who had been shot, i'm not here to fight the ukrainians or against ukrainians, i'm here to fight the americans who are fighting in ukraine. how much of the propaganda is -- this is actually a war against america when they are talking about this conflict and the wider conflict inside that country? >> absolutely. vladimir putin doesn't think there is a country called ukraine. he thinks that this is a part of russia. and of course it is a war not between russia and ukraine. i mean in his mind. and in the mind of russian propaganda. it is a war between russia and the united states. and russian propaganda thinks that the united states is trying to get russian territory,

ukraine. and we, i mean the kremlin, they think that we should defend our territory, this is not true, this is propaganda, i'm telling you what they think and what they broadcast. what they spread to the people, that this is not a war between russia and ukrainians but because the war between russia and the united states and the united states it. rachel: tikhon when we had 9/11. our government tried to say listen, this is the tastes and try and separate the terrorist's group from the people, right? and so in terms of discrimination. one of the things that i have been seeing and actually concerned about is that there is sort of a sentiment running around in social media and in all the media output that out outlets that you know, it's anti-russian. how do we -- are you concerned

at all about the ability to separate vladimir putin from the russian people and even in terms of the sanctions how much of the sanctions are hurting vladimir putin but also instead may be hurts the people more? >> >> this is a very big problem. and i think there is nothing which could be done to make this problem not that big. sanctions, they never chose, i mean, normal people always suffer from the sanctions. it's inevitable. you cannot do anything with it. and it's sad. and for example, some of the sanctions, they are even hurting the freedom of the expression because we, in russia, we lose some of our possibilities to use interim services because of the sanction. but i don't think there is a way

to make it differently. russians this is sad. i'm now in georgia. a lot of people from moscow went here now. and i can see that some people here, georgians are angry at russians, that russians are not protesting rat home and that they came here and, again, russia is very -- is very complicated. vladimir putin and his team, there is russian opposition. there is group of people who doesn't care about what is going on. there is a group of people whose brains are brainwashed by the propaganda. complicated. again, if something terrible as this war is happening, it's understandable.

unfortunately, i am really sad about it. but it's understandable that people think that all the russians are responsible for what is happening now because it's just terrible. war is terrible. will: the editor and chief of tv rain. tikhon dzyodko thank you for joining us. pete: he ran the only remaining independent television channel in russia. and as the war started, they atold broadcast objectively and point out what was happening and the russian government, through intimidation, in fact shut them down. have you seen the video of the whole crew walking off the set. he is the editor and chief of that channel. in prison for what the russian government would say is fake news. will: we went longer than w. that interview than we would normally go with an interview on "fox & friends."

i think we rarely get that kind of perspective. it was fascinating to hear a little bit of insight into the mindset of the average russian and how they are experiencing this war. pete: firsthand realtime. will: russian strikes continue as we learn a mosque in mariupol sheltering over 80 people has been hit. pete: attack comes as ukrainian fighters dig in across the country to repel russian advances. rachel: benjamin hall is live in kyiv where russian forces are closing. in benjamin, good morning. >> yeah, rachel, will and pete. good morning again. what we have seen satellite images over the last 24, 48 hours are many parts of that convoy. the convoy moved down to the northwest of kyiv, breaking up, deploying, getting into position so that it could start attacking this estimate most worrying is how we have seen some of the artillery pieces line up under the tree line and face directly towards the capital itself. and last night certainly in the outskirts it was constant bombardment. large explosions and shelling. an airport was hit just a few miles away.

and they hit ammunition and almighty explosion there as well. i will say today there is uneasy calm settled over the city. it's unclear when russia will make its move. whether it be initially with tanches and infantry or long range weaponry. we simply don't know. russia has kept up sieges of other cities around the country as well. warplanes, artillery widens the attacks. attack on cancer hospital. mic live. during the abduction they put a plastic bag over his head and he remains detained in the city. zelenskyy compared the kidnappers to isis terrorists. >> the kidnapping of melitopol's mayor isn't a crime against a specific society or ukraine. it's a crime against democracy

as a whole. i assure you are 100 percent of people in all democratic countries will learn about this and the actions of russian invaders will be equate to the actions of isis terrorists. >> ukrainians continue to fight back today. the ukrainian military more aerial footage. blowing up another russian tank as they warn vladimir putin's troops they had signed their own death sentence by invading. the use of these fire and forget javelins continues to be a game changer here. and president zelenskyy says the russian forces here are suffering losses. >> our armed forces are doing everything to deprive the enemy of the wish to continue the war against ukraine. the russian troops losses are huge. >> and we just got video of these two elderly ukrainians standing up defiantly to russian troops who were trying to enter their homes. after standing in front of them for awhile. the soldiers eventually left. but it is a reminder of how defiant the people of ukraine

feel. those who have remained and chosen to stay and fight and protect their homes. they will fight and they will fight until the bitter end. we are seeing that bravery in play both here in the capital city but also here in the country. how long until the forces are move into this city we don't know. right now the people here, they are as ready as they will ever be. preet pete benjamin, thank you very much. appreciate that update live on the ground. go from the ground live in kyiv to the maps and feel free to chime. in looking at the red at home on the screen it may not look like a lot is changing a lot is happening on the ground. including a big escalation in airstrikes. especially in kyiv. as the encirclement which is ongoing and hit a ton of snags thankfully for the russians is getting ever closer to the capital city and has new avenues of approach from the east, reports are 10, 9 miles from the capital which makes artillery far more deadly as it can hone in on the targets capital as they continue to shell. we have no reason to believe

that they won't. that's exactly what they have done in mariupol and that's what they did in odesa and kherson before they took it and bypassed it. they have seized one nuclear plant. they are looking to seize another. overnight we had reports and benjamin mentioned it melitopol the mayor there was taken away by russian troops likely for not complying. that's been the bargain that the russians have attempted to make with the few towns that they do have keep the ukrainian flag flying. the mayor can stay as long as you don't cause any trouble or support any resistance here as the troops continue to move on. i also mention in kharkiv there was a minor counter offensive from ukrainian. the big story guys, the big story is the guy skies right now and the strikes coming both from artillery as they get closer to cities,. >> bombers, second world across this country. three airfields were struck overnight as well.

what you will notice here is these are much further out into western. country that have not seen that types of aerial bombardment before. anticipation potential reinforcement. ans at the nation of migs, additional migs arriving this could be in stopping the flow of refugees going out and fighters coming in. any treason strike airfields on that side both military and civilians and i will push to one more map that i believe we have. this is one particular airport. i mean, just looking at this image, this is -- these are, you know, cillian aircraft effectively grounded moved off the runway military airfield can use to defend that side of the country. a lot of unknowns, certainly i think the big take away right now is carnage and siege. there is a quantity or a quality

to the weight and the quantity of forces can you bring to a fight. that is right now for the most part limited to ukrainians who are trying to stand their ground. with the russian military and their air force, they can keep coming and keep coming and keep coming and keep coming in wave after wave after wave. there are reports of dozens of aircraft shot down. when they have got an air force the side. will: look at the tactic, surround the city, bombard it with al till lerry, pummel it into submission. and no, we are not going to occupy. we are going to set up perhaps a puppet or two. if you obey we will let you keep flying the ukrainian flag as you point out. if you don't, you get kidnapped like in melitopol, the problem with the strategy i would think for the russians is they keep encountering the object.

the older couple yells a russian soldiers the mayor who won't comply. has their hands full. pete: might not be terrain it might be zelenskyy. the perception of the resistance at this point that he has put up, he has to go from the russian perspective. i would masmght. rachel: interesting. pete: in order to claim mission success. that's why he is the most hunted man in the world. will: ukrainian will would fold should zelenskyy go away. rachel: i don't think the people would stand for that but that said, you know, i guess the question is are there any options now for putin? what does that look like? can anyone try find a peaceful solution to this or does it have to go all the way to the final end of, you know, con corresponding this country? i think that's the question.

pete: sometimes there is to quote a movie line sometimes there is a peace only to be found on the other side of war. if the war machine has decided ukraine is their target. only some sort of a decisive action on one side or the other. but that's the thing. as we discussed migs. do we give them more migs or not, that debate is ongoing. even if you give them 29 migs. compared to the russian air force, that's not a decisive military action. you have to weigh that against the potential escalatory effect of adding those migs into the fight, too. it's an absolute mess. and it's humanitarian nightmare. rachel: it is a mess can i add really quick because we had that amazing editor of that network, what was official title. pete: editor and chief tv rain. rachel: i was trying to ask him a question about discrimination there are some russians that oppose what vladimir putin is doing. russians by the way many of them living in other countries, there is a lot of discrimination. i'm hearing reports even of

medical treatment being denied in european countries in germany to people of russian dissent. this is having huge implications not even for russians living in russia but also, of course, obviously for the poor ukrainians dealing with this. this is going to have generational, perhaps, implications for. pete: world war i and world war ii shaped the world. conflict like this what you emphasized the growing alliance between russia and china will have long-term evenings. will: there is news here at home obviously as well ceentd you abreast of that fox news alert. residents are bracing for powerful bomb sigh lone heading their way along the east coast more than 20 million americans are now under a winter storm warning. the system already dumping snow in alabama, tennessee, and is expected to bring damaging winds and heavy snow in the east. rachel: meanwhile, severe thunderstorms sweep across the central gulf coast into georgia. the florida panhandle and the

carolinas turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. 7 degrees in kansas city right now in morning. we were in the 60's a week ago in the morning hours. cold air settled in along with that. this storming is bringing winter storm warnings. anywhere you see these purple colors, that goes down across the north georgia mountains all the way up across maine. really big expansive area. along with that, there has been some warm air and with that we have severe threat across the southern side of the storm across florida and manhattan as this storm. push it's off. they got that rain into severe weather especially across parts of florida this morning. go in across parts of the mid-atlantic, ohio valley, up towards the northeast and all snow except across the coast

still warm enough that we have rain that will transition into a little bit of snow later on this afternoon behind this storm -- behind the rain that comes through. here you go. here is how much snow we are going to get from this take a look. maybe some spots about a foot of snow. once you go into higher elevations across interior sections. philadelphia, new york city. 1 to three inches by the time this is done. guys? pete: thank you, rick, appreciate it as putin's war in ukraine rages on, white house warns russia may be planning an attack using biological weapons. former u.s. convoy to ukraine kurt volker on that. ♪

russia has made these false claims and china has seemingly endorsed this propaganda, we should all be on the lookout for russia to use chemical or blige weapons in ukraine i'm glad to have you with me to shed some light it seems like we have the knowledge of existence of biolabs in ukraine. victoria nuland in a conversation with marco rubio at the senate hearings seemed to being a knowledge the existence of biolabs. then the question becomes what's the nature of those biolabs? and that's where i turn to you. >> right. so the u.s. has had a laboratories around the world. radio search into diseases that effect people.

we have a congressionally funded program for this called lugar labs. and we have supported countries as they are dealing with same kind of diseases that spread all over the world. these are not weapons labs. there is no possibility of weapons. there is no making them into biological tools of war or conflict in any way this has been a consistent piece of russian propaganda for years that they have pointed out assistance to country particularly in neighborhood saying hey, the u.s. is here and saying we are the ones that are developing biological weapons when that is certainly not the case. will: couple of follow-up questions, kurt. this is fascinating. what you are telling me is we are there performing ghernlts biological pathogens that cannot be turned into weapons. i want to be clear, what we have heard is these are soviet era labs that we are assisting in

the destruction and dismantling of the labs. that is not the case we are looking at and experimenting on biological pathogens? i want to be clear that's the nature of these labs. >> yes. you are beyond bureau depth of expertise as well. i don't want to say we are experimenting on pathogens. i think what we're doing is helping them identify and find treatments for. will: okay. i want to also ask you this. nuland seemed concerned in her conversation with rubio that these labs would fall into the hands of the russians. if these labs were producing pathogens or whatever, researching, but they can't be weaponized why are we concerned about them falling into the hands of russians? >> >> because i think russia would then try to use its own devices, its own possibilities of chemical or biological weapons against the ukrainian people and say that it was us. will: to then in turn use whatever is going to be in biolabs as excuse for escalation of the war. >> exactly. will: we hear the term false

flag. there is a lot of confusion around this issue. i think it's worthy of even more depth and more questions that you and i have time for this morning. i think we have begun the process and i appreciate that i want to talk about this quickly. you have and you are part of a fox nation documentary called energy shock, the coming enemy, which you check out at fox nation.com. tell us a little bit really quickly in the limited time we have left about energy shock. >> this has been going on some time. increase europe teen dependence on russian gas. energy has become for russia a tool state policy to try to build influence to reduce the will of europe or the united states to push back on russia. and then using this to squeeze countries like ukraine in its own neighborhood. this has raised prices over a long period of time. they have shut off supplies to ukraine or bulgaria in the past. and they are now using their

efforts to maintain energy supplies to europe as a pressure on europe to not do more against russia itself and not to do more to help ukraine. will: kurt volker, fascinating conversation with you this morning. thank you so much. >> my pleasure, thank you. will: up next, a ukrainian businessman rushing to get life-saving medical equipment to those in need. his mission after the break. ♪ i've always focused on my career. but when we found out our son had autism, his future became my focus. lavender baths always calmed him. so we turned bath time into a business. ♪ and building it with my son has been my dream job. ♪ at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com

pete: live look at a train station on the ukraine border where constant flow of refugees continues to arrive. alex hogan is live in poland with the latest. >> two and a half million people have fled ukraine in now more and more people are coming to poland and as a result more refugee centers are opening up.

this is a storage center about a mile an hour and a half from the border. now here we're seeing more and more people arrive over here there is a welcoming storage sort of closet for them to walk into. they can pick anything that they might need to wear. most people here are not brought more than what they simy could carry. this someone of the cleaner refugee sites that we have seen since we have been here at the border. there are bathrooms. there is laundry, places for people to sleep. places for people to rest. most of the people here are women and children. i met a 29-year-old named alena. she says that she is stressed and she is very sad over being forced out of her country but for her kids, they can't quite grasp what has happened for them h this is an adventure. >> i don't know in the future what we will do and.

>> she is smiling and playing for the volunteers. for her it's just a journey. >> yes. >> so many women are here just because they are protecting their children. but it's also kids protecting their moms. i met a woman named marina, she fled ukraine to help her mom get out of a journey simply too old and take too long. too dangerous for the 85-year-old to do it alone. she said she is completely in shock over russian president vladimir putin's attack on their country. >> he's not a human being. he is the devil. he is killing children. is he destroying nonmilitary houses. >> now, marina will mother to italy and go back because her husband is fighting and 18-year-old son likely will as well. she says she will be there to

support them. pete? pete: alex, thank you very much. live from poland. 2.5 million almost at this point. rachel: that is a lot of people. heartened to see that she is right. that was a fairly clean, you know, organized and orderly refugee center. she says that's probably one of the most clean. we saw images earlier, guys of people crossing over with their little babies. we talked about how stressful it is to pack up your kids to go ton a little trip with a baby. and, you know, you have this one mom says it's an adventure. but when you have a baby and diapers and bottles and milk and you are coming across and you don't know where you are going to end up. absolutely that mat. will: not just they can return. if the war ends tomorrow, it's not as if they can return to mariupol or kyiv or wherever it

may be that's already sustained some damage. will these refugees return to ukraine? will they stay in poland in will they span out across the globe? rachel: right. pete: i think about the people that are still there in kyiv and elsewhere and how much time they would have to actually still leave considering the attempt to encircle the city. and that's when things get incredibly -- as horrific as it is, the people that got out are likely in the most fortunate situation right now. considering the people that decided to stay whether they were elderly, whether they couldn't leave. whether there were medical reasons, whether they are staying there with their husband or son. they are the ones that soon could be without water. absolutely without power. rachel: if you left and your husband and your son are fighting in ukraine, boy, you got to get back there soon because as you said you want to be able to support them that's a difficult decision. >> will: the biden administration now looking to communist venezuela for oil to help relieve the record high gas prices. our next guest congressman

'. rachel: president biden blaming putin. pete: todd piro in connecticut with the latest on the energy

crisis. todd? todd: good morning pill -- good morning, pete, will and rachel. it'sline a long day. as you can see behind me. the price here in connecticut 4.55 a gallop at the u.s. and other allies try to punish russia economically it's you at paying the high price at the pump. take a look at the national average right now 4.32 a gallop. that is up more than 40 cents this time last week. up nearly a dollar from just a month ago. this time last year a gallon of gas only cost $2.83 on average. during a friday address to the house democratic caucus. president biden once again playing the blame game. >> the second big reason for inflation is vladimir putin. from the moment he put his over 150,000 troops on the ukrainian border, the price of gasoline in january went up 75 cents. >> take a look at this. according to new aaa survey

nearly 06% of americans say they plan on changing their lifestyle now that gas is well above $4 per gallon. guys, not just drivers. you got to worry about flight if you are flying. both allegiant and alaska in light of higher jet fuel prices. look behind me. that's diesel 5.77 a gallon. [broken audio] they are shipping your goods. that means you are paying more as well. pete, will, and rachel, back to you. rach racism i was gust going to say jennifer lopez and ben affleck is benifer but you guys are pill and todd and carley are. >> did i go with pillifer. the nation wants pete, will and rachel to have one name. rachel: we will have to figure that one out.

pete: maybe the viewers will help us out. rachel: too early to help that out. pete: "fox & friends first" 4 to 6 today and tomorrow. rachel: they are working so hard. will: more on gas price and energy prices bring in carlos journalist infrastructure committee and house homeland security committee as well serving on all of those committees in congress. congressman, thank you so much for being with us you knowed biden administration has shifted to blaming rising gas prices on putin. it's the latest in a series of excuses for the rise in inflation. will: it is true that we have seen gas prices marginally go up. they were going up before this war. what's going on? how high will they go. >> i don't know how high they will go. it keeps going up and up and up. and our president refuses just plain refuses to drill more here in the united states. make it easier for our energy

sector to produce more oil and gas right here in the united states. instead, they go off to our enemies in venezuela and maybe even iran and ask them to ramp up production in order to drive prices down. it's really, it's unbelievable. pete: gotten very little coverage, congressman, you are right. on the cusp of potentially agreeing to yet another iranian deal. which would open up the opportunity for us to import iranian oil and also, you know, if you are being clear-eyed about it a path to iranian bomb. and russians are sitting at the table in that conversation. >> russians are negotiating for us and iran for the iranian deal. you know, i was a couple weeks ago i was in israel, they are very concerned about the status of those negotiations, and the ability of iran to produce not just one or two nuclear bombs after, you know, the exploration of about 2 and a half years but multiple nuclear bombs.

and then on top of that, we are going to be buying iranian oil. so we will be funding it here in the united states or at least partially funding it with our money because we are buying their oil because our president refuses to produce oil right here in the united states. just get us back to where we were before you were president and we would have more than enough oil here embargo here on russian oil in the united states not going to get oil from one authoritarian. okay to get nicholas maduro on mullahs are in iran sponsoring terrorists? how do they think they can get away with it because it makes no logical sense. >> this doesn't make any sense they are not going to going to get away with it because bewill continue to tell the american

people the truth. they tried to deny that they went down to venezuela to try to cut a deal. they were just talking about prisoners, and they weren't. the leader that we recognize as the leader of venezuela is actually juan guaido, he said that they went there to cut a deal and actually get permits for chef tron begin producing in venezuela. after everybody figured out what they were doing and blow back how ridiculous and really hypocritical no to putin and yes to venezuela putin's ally in our part of the world dictator you think that's okay? no, no, no. we never went down there to do that. you know what? i think i believe president guaido before i believe president biden. never ever believe what the biden administration tells you always got to see what they are actually doing. and then the truth will come

out. pete: tracy true. we are out of time, congressman. we appreciate your introduction of a bill to try to end the mask mandate in transports and transportation hubs. i know they extended it. i appreciate your attempts to do so. >> it's again another ridiculous thing that we continue to do. it's probably the cleanest air we wreath is actually in an airplane. makes no sense. nothing that this administration does makes sense. will: congressman, thank you for your time this morning. pete: thank you pleasure. >> thank you very much. rachel: can't wait until mask mandates go away in the airport. feel so ridiculous. so dumb. all right, coming up a "fox & friends" segment inspires a generous act of kindness. take a look. >> our society has unraveled. we need to move closer to god value life. rachel: how our interview with goya foods ceo bob inouye inspired a viewer to make more than 10,000 roseriries for

refugees in ukraine. hello, for the last few years, i've been a little obsessed with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

♪ >> our society has unraveled. we are not valuing life. we are moving away from god. we need to move closer to god to

value life and with all the great people in the world, there is hope that all this good can overcome all the evil in the world. rachel: what an inspiration that was goya foods ceo bob anyone way on "fox & friends" after he announced that his company will distribute hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to the people of ukraine our next guest responded to his call for faith by collecting more than, get, this 10,000 roseries from her texas community which goya will now distribute to refugees tomorrow in poland. that woman is shannon and she joins us along with goya food ceo bob unanue: tell us how this connection happened. >> well, this is the miracle of the roseries.

after interview last week got a call would we accept a rosery and now turned into 15,000 rosaries and growing. the miracle of the roses and intercession without a doubt of our mother mary that we're also taking with us an impression guadeloupe and we are going to take that with her because the russians also have a devotion to mary. this is a tremendous weapon. we're going to take all these rosaries which is the source of prayer, love, you know, evil is the absence of god. and we are going to take this incredible gift of love, of prayer over with us. and, you know, we are going to -- i have tremendous hope that through the intercession of mary, through shannon hasse what an incredible woman. this is greatest weapon against evil and moving farad god.

rachel: sign credible seeing that pile of rosaries. i can't think what this situation needs more than prayers. my favorite prayer is the rosery, shannon, i'm really inspired by you. tell me how it went from you know a few rosaries send to bob to now over 15,000? >> the holy spirit. the holy spirit. the making of one and the mayor in my heart kind of slow because i take my time. but the prayer in my heart came ask him. if he going to send food, will he send the rosaries over to the ukrainian people? will they have the heart of their mother in heir hand? amen. rachel: amen. bob, you are sending food. shannon is sending food for the soul. that's really -- we are-we're whole beings not just physical

beings. i love you are meeting physical food needs but touching on the spiritual needs of this situation. >> rachel, there is so much hope and this is god bless shannon and all of us. we have hope. the holy spirit. the intervention of god of mary. mother teresa, so many good people. some good people. and that gives us tremendous hope. rachel: shannon, what do you hope you will accomplish? what do you think as somebody in ukraine receives that rosery, what do you want them to actually receive beyond the i feel that the blessed mother is everywhere. and flowing from the eyes and the tears of children coming, coming across, flea and even putin, take his heart and make it soft.

make it heart of love. so the heart in sinners will all of a sudden be resolved. [broken audio] that's what the rosery is. rachel: right, all things are possible with god. even softening putin's heart, perhaps. thank you both for joining us this morning. thank you for all you are doing. shannon, bob? >> thank you, got bless. bye. rachel: goodbye. dan bongino up next. so, it's not a problem at all. you guys aren't gonna give me the fake bill fight? c'mon, kev. you're earning 3% cash back. humor me. where is my wallet? i am paying. where is my wallet? i thought i gave it to you. oooohhh? oh, that's not it either. no. no. stop, i insist. that was good though. earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...the itching... the burning.

the advance. russian forces kidnapped the mayor of mariupol in broad daylight as volodymyr zelenskyy demand his release. he was ushered out. and insight into how russian street the population. >> with a plastic bag over his head. will: it is interesting, what it means to the future of ukraine as the city is bombarded with artillery into submission and not necessarily occupy but set up puppet regimes in hopes of subduing the ukrainian population was a hope that doesn't look very probable.

pete: if you're just joining us, the level of violence and artillery and missiles and bombs being dropped, cluster bombs, on population centers this is a siege mentality but in give where the capital city has been fortified because it has taken so long, the russians thought they could take it in two days and couldn't, you are looking field by field, village by village fight which first we were thinking days, it could be months, what is the ultimate goal remains in question. a new video from president volodymyr zelenskyy defined the russians saying they are losing and the russians have lost in conservative estimates thousands of troops and by another estimate over 1000 vehicles but the russian air force is the second largest in

the world, thousands of jets and bombers have the capacity to keep it is up in perpetuity should vladimir putin's ambitions get to that. rachel: let's bring in dan bonngino. welcome. always good to see you. one of the things that keeps coming back is inflation and president biden is trying to use his administration to push hashtag putin's price hikes and blame this on vladimir putin even though you and i both know this has been going on for a year. >> the putin price hikes thing is borderline hilarious, president biden has given a run to dave -- dave chapelle for

comedy routine. the talking point says the vladimir putin invasion of russia contributed $.75 to the increase in gasoline. someone send me a west hollywood screenshot from exxon where gas was $7.95 a gallon. no worries, $7.20 a gallon, is this guy serious? it is one thing to be a failed president in name only like it is one thing to be an epic failure at everything you have done but another thing to look at us like we are stupid too. money is everywhere, inflation is a monetary phenomenon. milton friedman said it best, bad money always chases out good money.

you never pay back your bets with your best tobacco but with your garbage tobacco and we will pay back our debts with the garbage money being printed now. pete: today believe this will be effective? before the war began we would often posit what would democrats run on in 2022. they have seized on this, it is vladimir putin, we are going to run russia russia russia again on energy prices, on inflation. i our memories long enough to recall the chart for both of those goes bottom left to upper right basically starting on inauguration day? >> good question. do they think it is going to work? fred segal has a great book that lays out how the left gas lights people into believing things like this is vladimir putin's price hike, they use congressional committees and activist groups in the media to

get the message out but it worked over the decades, a couple components to gas lighting, getting people to believe something that is not true, all of it is putin's falls but at every domestic problem is putin's falls, tell a lie competently, till the lie often that he is the key to hard, you have to isolate people from the truth. you can't allow people to see the truth, like the m night shamala on movie the village where everyone thinks there are creatures and it is all a mask. that's the thing. if you can't isolate people from the truth it doesn't work. sorry it is long-winded. i don't think it is going to work. you've got social media platforms that even though they are big tech hacks, we are challenging, fox news and other news networks and a ton of websites from breitbart to

conservative review and the blaze i don't think it is going to work come you can't isolate people from the truth anymore, people see it, people are spreading pictures which in order to get me a picture -- what it looked like years ago you have to send me the picture. there weren't any faxes, not anymore. take a picture, put it on social media, lifetime, everyone realize president biden is full of you fill in the blanks. rachel: i can't believe what i am paying and i've got teenagers who drive now and i'm telling them you are going to make two stops, not come back and go again. we are all feeling it. >> inflation is the largest regressive tax out there, regressive because it impacts lower income categories of

middle-class folks because they don't have the ability wealthy people have to hedge that inflation. wealthy folks by tips, bonds, treasury securities, protected against inflation, they hedge with gold, crypto, assets, from hard gold to silver and comic books, real estate, beachfront property. inflation doesn't hurt some people who are wealthy but if you are middle-class or lower income you are getting screwed right now like there is no tomorrow. put this in perspective. where is inflation the worst? food and fuel. only the two things you need to survive, to get around and eat and the kilocalorie thing, surviving, the left is hearing this for the first time but food and fuel, we need that and this has been the plot for a long time.

anyone who studied keynesian economics figured out a long time ago the easiest way to tax people is through inflation. the you want to tax 25% of the economy you get a 25% tax rate, a 25% tax rate you get $25 and you can print $33, $133 in circulation, print it and take it like the government is doing and you've got the same tax rate through inflation with no one seeing their taxes go up. the most pernicious elegant scheme i have ever seen. that's why president biden is trying to hide it by saying government spending has nothing to do with it, he doesn't even know he is the big guy, you think you understand advanced economics. we can use our a-list, a line

graph that you referenced on your screen over the last two years, the rise in inflation before the russia ukrainian war. live to benjamin hall in kyiv with the latest. >> reporter: ukrainian official saying russia is planning on a referendum in a district, 18,000 mi. which joins crimea and does appear this could be moving forward as they take areas they hold referendums and try to claim them as their own, a further landgrab. they held criteria for -- crimea for six years, now moving up trying to take more areas and formalizing it but across the country they kept up sieges and attacks in other cities, their warplanes,

artillery striking airfields and hospitals, rocket attacks on the black sea, the next step before they take odesa. and mariupol the mayor was taken away by russian soldiers. during that objection they put a plastic bag over his head, he remains detained at the moment. volodymyr zelenskyy compared his kidnapping to isis terrorists. >> translator: the kidnapping of the mayor is not just a crime against an individual person or you crying. it is a crime against democracy as a whole. i assure you 100% people in all democratic countries will learn about this and the actions of russian invaders will be equated to the actions of isis terrorists. >> reporter: the ukrainian ministry release this aerial footage showing its forces

blowing up another russian tank as they would vladimir putin's troops sign their own death sentence by invading. the use of the fire and forget jabs are game changer with volodymyr zelenskyy staying russian forces are suffering huge losses. >> translator: our armed forces are doing everything to deprive the enemy of the means to continue the war against ukraine, russian troops losses are huge. regions we got video two elderly ukrainians standing up against russian troops trying to enter their house, the soldiers eventually left. and the mayor was taken, i was asking how that happened, this is a much smaller city the didn't have the defenses of cities like kyiv has. they were unable to repel the russian forces. it appears cities of that size, towns of that size not able to

hold back the russian forces and that is why these russian forces are coming in and will try land grabs. will: a fascinating follow-up. let's bring in dan bonngino. the russian strategy seems to be of necessity we can't go into cities, can't occupy or take control, the smaller cities, they can go in but eventually the problem is symbolic of this person who yells of the russian soldiers, the population has been radicalized. speechange-talking about this since it started, taking and occupying are two things, overwhelming a smaller military in a town of people who were

civilians before the invasion is not as difficult if you have overwhelming manpower. the occupying portion as you see on screen is far different. when we would go into an area and try to protect the city like new york city we would have to grid out the entire motorcade rally. every single window just to prevent one potential sniper from opening a window to take a shot at the president. that's for one potential sniper. may be three or four. keep that in mind, to protect one guy. now you're trying to protect and occupying force in a city of 10, 20, 50,000 soldiers and have how many windows and how much high ground? the difference about high ground is you can take cover

while the guys below can't was high ground isn't anything new. it has always been a battlefield tactic since we became sentient beings, now a bunch of ukrainians with experience at hunting at a minimum, can be trained to side of a firearm or rifle, not that difficult, you can train someone in a couple days, you don't need laser citing, standard iron sights and start popping shots at russian soldiers this occupation is not that great. it's not going to work out of the bodybag start going back to russia and russian moms don't want to lose their kids but that requires supply lines and replacement of your supplies and secondarily someone said a while ago, the places in suited for guerrilla warfare which doesn't work well for the ukrainians because it is flatland which they are correct about but that is assuming guerrilla warfare vietnam style

which is a close and personal, we have standoff weapons, we didn't have javelins in vietnam. we had entirely different weapons technology, the standoff weapons you don't need to be up in their faces, you saw from the russian tank convoy that got smoked. if you have flatland and don't have any cover or concealment for your tanks it works both ways which we can see you, you can see us so if we have standoff weapons, you are trying to keep your supply lines open and we are knocking off your tanks and trucks that aren't even honored you have a problem occupying the city. flannery putin bit off more than he can chew here. will: the latest information is the russians are planning to hold a referendum in kherson one of the first they took, a

tactic they used to hold a sham election saying the russian people want to join russia -- now is hours. this feels like i want my stuff back, that is what vladimir putin is doing. >> sounds like the elections they have in russia, doesn't sound a lot different. i will be seeing you tonight. will: unfiltered at 9:00 pm and it is a date. i will see you there. >> we have a loaded show tonight. carley: will definitely watch now that you are on. will: snow falling on the white house is a powerful bomb cyclone hits the east coast, 20 million americans are under

winter storm warnings, the system dumping snow in alabama, tennessee and will bring damaging wind and heavy snow. rachel: severe thunderstorms into georgia, the florida panhandle and the carolinas. our fox weather forecast, sounds scary, bomb cyclone. >> it means the pressure drops 24 mbar. we call it bombing out a storm so it's a strong storm, that is the basic point and we will see the threat today, cold temperatures across the country, 0 in fargo, 10 ° in kansas city, 26 in memphis. across florida, overnight into tomorrow behind the storm. you see the picture of the white house with no falling, winter storm warnings across

interior sections across parts of maine where we will see some spots, a foot of snow, and the storm across coastal areas of the carolinas and georgia and northern parts of florida, maybe a tornado or two. the southern side of the storm bringing significant weather across parts of florida and to the north across the central appalachians but for the most part, interior sections the snow ends, rain across the coast, temperatures drop quickly and we will see across into snow in philadelphia and new york city. the spots getting significant snow. interior sections from philadelphia and new york, primarily rain. across parts of the south, we have freeze warnings across the south tonight.

will: as russian forces prepare a puppet government in one part of ukraine we track the latest developments. this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. 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.

will: russia reportedly plans to host a referendum in kherson to create a puppet government was kremlin forces continue to lay siege to major cities in ukraine including and discriminate artillery showing the residential buildings, let's bring in former commander army of -- 4-star general david perkins. thank you for being here. you heard what i just mentioned, the southern city of kherson, something they've done to attempt to say people want to separate from their country and join hours is the bombardment continues in mariupol and the siege in kyiv. if you look at ukrainian defenses and bombardment of the russians what do you see? >> kyiv is the price and that's

what the russians are focused on. as i watch this unfold as a military man there are certain indicators as to the quality of the fighting forces. the russian army is big but not very good. not only the fact that they aren't moving in combat formation and don't react that way and not well trained or well led, when you see the photos of their convoys lined up, we call it ducks in a row, not dispersed, not providing 360 ° coverage and or flank or rear shots and when one of them is hit, every man from the south, they don't react in disciplined formation, good armies fight formations, bad armies fight vehicles. will: you were part of a famous

mission in iraq. the war plans for the russians have been leaked and what they show is the initial invasion, and expanded version of the us military. you let that thunder run in 2003. >> do not try to sit at home. the speed, if you have heavy armored vehicles going in a densely populated city, baghdad has 6 or 7 million. you've got to move fast. the second thing i pointed out

multiple times, russian crews are not well trained and when they become isolated they panic and don't know how to react where in the us model, and and they knew how to take advantage. they thought they were going to a peacekeeping training mission. the last part, the commanders don't seem to know how to bring all elements of combat power together to make sure logistics are keeping up with the tactical fighting aspects. pete: we've seen reports of a number of russian generals fired by vladimir putin so he himself is unhappy with the progress they made on the ground. thanks for breaking that down,

>> the chance but i'm going to back down from my commitment to students and back down from my commitments to parents rights simply because of fraudulent media narrative or pressure from woke corporations, the chances of that are 0 so in florida our policies are based on the best interests of florida citizens, not what separates.

>> florida governor ron desantis blasting opposition to a florida bill aiming to protect parents rights in education. legislation dubbed by critics the don't say gay bill has received heavy backlash including his knee's ceo who called it another challenge to basic human rights. what is really in this bill? let's discuss that with rob smith and duvall county parent and executive director of moms executive, welcome to you both. classroom instruction is what the parental rights bill says, it has classroom instruction by school personnel or third-party on sexual orientation or gender identity they not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or develop into the

appropriate for students in accordance with state standards. that sounds reasonable. most parents why did you stop at grade 3? >> this bill critics -- the don't say gay bill. the word gay does not show up in the bill at all. this is a parental rights and education. . what the left-wing activists have been smart about doing is defining this, a lot of mainstream media outlets have uncritically sort of carried water for them and created this outrage from nowhere. there are a lot of same gay and lesbians who are pretty much against this. this is not about gay and lesbian. this is the gender identity stuff it is being pushed in our classrooms lose you have examples across the country of kids in grade school being socially transitioned at their school without the knowledge of their parents.

these activist teachers and educators are doing that without the knowledge of the parent, go to the twitter handle, these examples are all across the country and with the covid lockdowns parents have started to see what is going on in these classrooms, they do not like it and that is what this bill is about, not gay and lesbians but small minority of kids with gay teachers or parents, this is about limiting the gender indoctrination insanity that is going on in public schools right now. rachel: governor desantis say it is about parental rights but it is children's right to their own innocence and i question anybody who wants to talk to a kindergartner about these issues, they must be a creep. >> i agree.

i don't understand and question any person who would want to expose children who have barely graduated from being toddler's to this type of information and ideology and it is not gay or lesbian. it is any sexuality. i don't want my kindergartner, first or second, even a little further but i don't want kids learning about any type of sexuality or gender identity, they are trying to make it about something it is not. it is about children having and maintaining their innocence we all know they have. rachel: i thought we were supposed to teach them how to read and write. what can parents do? i saw the apology from ceo issued, responding to pressure from employees and within his company, disney has been known

as a wholesome oasis from all the sex and violence in the culture out there and they are taking the stand, what can parents do? >> parents need to be aware what their kids are learning and need to show up at school board meetings and make a stink if they need to. look what happened in virginia. that's a model for how to take control of the school system. if i was disney's ceo what they need to understand is that they do not need to respond every time twitter has attention in the far left would like to control the ceos, the political donations these organizations are doing and that is a bad idea and i don't think disney's ceo wants to get into this with opener desantis because he's not backing down and he's not afraid of some woke people on twitter. of that is the disney ceo he

needs to stand up to this, these activists know that they own him. rachel: i bet he doesn't want to get into it with all the parents who go to disney world and disneyland and buy tickets to that park. he doesn't understand who his core customers are, parents and kids who want to have fun. great conversation, great to have you on the show. 42 republican senators urging president biden to provide more aid to ukraine after transferring big fighter jets to them. senator kevin kramer will join us next. >> this she's a hero moment. >> one day she will change the world. >> i grew up wanting medicine.

>> we are trained for anything that comes at us. we became innovators. >> he worked endless days. she will be there when we need her most. >> we are always working as a team. >> has changed the world. >> if you can see her you can be her.

.. knowing where you came from, it gives you a sense of “this is who i am”. oh my goodness... wow, look at all those! you get hungry for more and then you're just like, “wow, i'm learning about my family.” yeah, yep. which one, what'd you find? lorraine banks, look, county of macomb, michigan? look at grandma...

hey grandma! unbelievable. everybody deserves to know who they are and where they came from. ohhh...cool. this whole journey has been such a huge gift for our family.

>> the idea that we sent often to become attentive planes and tanks and trains with american pilots and american crews, just understand don't kid yourself no matter what you all say, that is called world war iii. will: president biden defending his veto of a transfer of make fighter jets saying it would spark world war iii. rachel: our next guest helped facilitate the move.

will: there is legitimate debate to be had absent with 3 into the microphone whether or not a move like this is decisive enough considering the risk that it poses of escalating with vladimir putin and causing further us involvement. >> no question there is risk. war has risks. doing nothing has almost no risk, just a certain deal of innocent people being killed. we are leaders of the free world and we have responsible become a specific responsibility in ukraine relating to the situation given the budapest memorandum. a number of people under the current discussion aren't understanding the obligation under the memorandum. all of that, one of the challenges is president biden

in that statement left from providing lethal weapons to crews and american military. we are not suggesting military men and women engage, we are talking the right to defend yourself with weapons that are commensurate with the attack on them. pete: what do i take from the idea the president managed to create a cohesive nato coalition that is together and everything but the idea that the meg transfer was sunk by a random diplomat where poland took the lead, the united states was chasing the initiation on this deal the entire way. >> the united states has been chasing the entire time. even davos --nordtram. we asked to preempt this invasion by putting on harsh sanctions before the attack.

he kept saying we will wait and when they attack we will do that. every step of the way he has been behind, you gave credit to him for the cohesion of the alliance, two presidents that deserve credit for unifying the west are vladimir putin and volodymyr zelenskyy who has been spectacular and unifying people. rachel: another topic, the omnibus bill heads president biden's desk after the senate cast $1.5 trillion of spending that includes $13.6 billion in aid ukraine and it might have been the most depressing part of our show to see we couldn't

get aid to ukraine without senators voting, republican senators voting for climate change and all kinds of wasteful spending. >> you been around congress long enough to see the deterioration of the process of committee work, of debate, appropriations, we are in the seventh month of the fiscal year we just funded. we are less than half a year from the next fiscal year needing to be funded and they haven't started that process. there is lack of transparency, lack of due diligence when you have just the leaders of the two political parties in the two chambers negotiating giant omnibus spending bills. i feel for my colleagues who voted for it. i voted against it. the process -- i voted no, i don't mind telling you i don't like to be that person but

we've got to bring fiscal discipline back. the house before they sent the bill over did separate the defense side of it from the other domestic spending side and put it together and sent it to the senate. we did not have an opportunity. that is unfair to every number and every person that represents them. the process issue as much as it is what is in the bill issue. will: no chance you could have read the entirety, you need to pass it to find out what is in it. one more topic. president biden continues to dismiss the idea his killing of the keystone xl pipeline had anything to do with the gas prices we are seeing now. here is a portion of what president biden said. >> president biden: biden said he's going to stop the keystone pipeline and i did. that is the reason prices went up. let's get something straight here.

the keystone pipeline was two years away, 2% finished. give me a break. give me a break. heather: went to war with the fossil fuel industry and now he is saying nothing to do with him. >> the keystone xl pipeline was stopped when he was vice president, hillary clinton was secretary of state responsible for suggesting or giving advice to president obama on the presidential permit in the first place and this pipeline is a symbol of the broader problem. he sends the wrong messages every single day to the fossil industry and nobody in the world does energy to the man better than the united states of america, nobody does it better than north dakota we could have a long conversation on the solutions if we get together and talk about it. >> missing the guy that called
