3:02 am
on a military base near the polish border that killed 35 people. trey, thanks for being with us this morning. this air base is from the polish border. the focuss we have had over the last 24 hours what was going on at that air base? what was the nature of that air base? why was it a target? >> steve, will, rachel, good morning. we are learning more about that air base that was being used as a training ground in recent months with u.s. forces there as recently as february. and it's a significant target because it is so close to the polish border. and we just see the russians expanding their strikes further west this does come as american photo journalist was killed yesterday in the town of irpin. the person traveling with him described describes what happened when they approached russian troops. >> they crossed a check point and started shooting at us. the driver turned around and they kept shooting two of us.
3:03 am
my friend renald he has been shot and left behind. >> we do know sullivan calling brett reno's death horrifying. >> this is obviously shocking and horrifying. i will be consulting with my colleagues. be consulting with the ukrainians to determine how this happened and to measure and execute appropriate consequences. >> another tragic update. this as we learned of the pregnant mother pictured here being carried out of a hospital that was bombed in mariupol that southern ukrainian city has passed away. russian shelling is getting heavier and closer to the capital of kyiv today this morning an apartment building was hit in the northern part of the city killing two civilians there and injuring 12 others. firefighters climbing into the infrastructure. looking for survivors this type of destruction that we saw in mariupol and kharkiv will get more common as russian forces
3:04 am
get closer to the capital of kyiv. we are also getting new images today from the town of irpin outside of the ukrainian capital where that journalist was killed jed. this footage shows the ukrainians firing on russian forces in the city. the russian troops control about 30% of irpin at this point. the mayor says about a sixth of the residents remain. east of russian forces we visited the front lines there over the weekend. >> there may be an offensive today. they have strend their forces. each time their column is ready we hit them. >> east of kyiv, ukrainian soldiers wait for enemy troops to arrive. a sign above them reads russia, welcome to hell. this is the eastern front of this conflict outside of the capital of kyiv. just a few days ago russian forces attempted to bring a tank convoy down this road and toward of the capital city. they were hit hard by ukrainian forces who were able to create a new frontline. >> there was a big column of enemy tanks, one soldier says. approximately 100 military
3:05 am
vehicles. they were shooting at residential buildings. >> ukrainian air defense systems active across the city today as shelling is getting closer and closer. those loud booms on the horizon indicating the russians are continuing that shelling day and night. back to you. >> steve: trey, i have got a question for you. i know both sides are going to have more peace talks later today there in ukraine where it is just a little afternoon. ukraine though for the first time actually sounds optimistic. they say that something is going on with russia. do we have any idea why they feel the optimism? >> i think they see the troops that russia is recruiting to come fight in this war. they are going to syria to get fighters to come to ukraine. and it just gives you a sense of how heaviy the russians got hit early on. i think ukrainian forces realize the resistance they are putting up. they understand they have more weapons coming in from their allies. and the rust portions are on
3:06 am
their heels in some parts of this country. i think that's part of it the other part of it has to do with the resolve of the ukrainian people and the leadership here in kyiv. they are saying that they will stay here. and they will fight and russia understands that and realizes this is not going to be that easy two or three days to take over the ukrainian capital. it's been nearly three weeks and they haven't been able to do so. >> rachel: trey, has the killing of this u.s. reporter changed any of the ways that you and other journalists are operating? >> it's definitely a tragic development. and it's just something that happens sometimes in war. and i think that you have a lot of emotions about these types of things. sometimes you feel guilty because we had just been there and we had planned to go back. sometimes you start thinking through the scenarios well if i was there, could i have hipsd? the bottom line is thiewr colleagues in this industry across the board at every outlet are doing the best to tell this another a holistic way and bring light to this very dark place right now. bret was one of those people trying to do that when he was
3:07 am
killed yesterday. >> will: trey, a couple of quick questions on the nature of this tragedy with bret put out a statement he was not currently reporting for the "new york times." do we know what he was working for or working on in ukraine? [no audio] >> will: looks like trey's shot has frozen there understandably half a globe away. >> steve: absolutely. >> rachel: we got amazed how well satellite and sweater and everything else has been given the circumstances. but, yeah, too bad we lost him. >> steve: they have got infrastructure there they have got water and electricity. they have got -- they have got social media and stuff like that. and yesterday, i thought it was very inspiring. you may have been covering it on your program yesterday, on "fox & friends weekend." where the president zelenskyy went to the hospital and
3:08 am
presented those medals to the men who had fought and were injured. and took some selfies with them. you know, it's that kind of image of mr. zelenskyy against vladimir putin that just has the whole world for the most part on their side. what's interesting, later on today, jake sullivan, our top diplomat is going to sit down with china's top diplomat. and they are going to do in rome. and it -- this particular meeting has been set up since november. i mean, remember when president biden met via zoom with president xi in november this was going to be the follow-up. so in addition to international competition between the united states and china. apparently jake sullivan is going to say hey, china, we don't like the fact that you are on russia's side on this, period. >> rachel: help us bring about peace. who knows if that is actually in the interest of china or not. i'm really glad you brought up that question about this sort of
3:09 am
hopefulness around this potential peace deal. i asked trey yingst that yesterday when i was on the big sunday show. and he was very everywhere said he didn't feel very hopeful that the russians, you know, often act like they are going to, you know, enter into negotiations as they are shelling and getting more, you know, aggressive militarily, but i don't know, maybe things are changing. you have to imagine that, you know, putin has a lot of friends who are oligarchs. their yachts are being seized. their assets. a lot of them having their kids being kicked out of their she private schools. he can't appear to be weak. he will be taken out by someone. who maybe is he -- maybe there is some internal things going on in russia as well that are bringing some hope as well. >> will: it's possible. that's hopeful. francis somehow acquired the title of a futurist. whatever it may be. whatever a futurist does.
3:10 am
he at times has interesting thoughts. there is a thought process there is going to be difficulty finding a compromise between the russians and ukrainians they are hot committed the level of sacrifice gone into this war so far it would be difficult to justify right now. it would be difficult to find a compromise with the level of sacrifice. but, steve, you brought up this nature of the russian-chinese relationship. and it's fascinating. the russians have made a request of the chinese to backfill some of their needs for weaponry. to say step up and help them. jake sullivan said if that happens. china should be prepared for real sanctions. >> would you sanction china if they did help out russia? >> i'm not going to sit here publicly and brandish threats. but what i will tell you is that we are communicating directly, privately to beijing. that there will absolutely be consequences for large scale
3:11 am
sanctions, beijing efforts or support to russia to backfill them. we will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to russia from these economic sanctions from any country anywhere in the world. >> rachel: i'm not sure how scared china is of that statement by jake sullivan i will say that representative michael also a has been on the danger talking for a long time and i have had him on the podcast i don't know you will too, will. he has been talking about the danger of that russia china alignment for a long time. here is he is talking about it last night on steve hilton "the next revolution." the. >> the bic picture world alignment of the world autocracies the world dictatorships a united front, russia, china both have involved in negotiations with iran, unbelievably with the russians as the intermediary. north korea, who just launched
3:12 am
yet another strategic ballistic missile. and all of them. even aligned and starting to align with the taliban super state. the terrorist super state that is in afghanistan now. so, big picture, this is i object credibly concerning. >> steve: it would be incredibly concerning. and we have been talking a little bit and you heard the news flash last night that apparently russia has asked, according to the "new york times," i think has asked china for hen with economic and military help. it was very vague. we don't know exactly what that was. now china is coming out today and they're dismissing it they say the u.s. side has been spreading false information against china one after another on the ukraine issue with sinister intention. so, you know, it will be interesting to see what happens today with the sitdown between our two top diplomats hours and
3:13 am
chinas in rome. because we have heard these stories over the last three or four days that mr. xi, pictured screen left right there, doesn't like the way it's going for mr. putin in ukraine. and mr. xi feels like he and china are suffering reputational damage because they have aligned themselves with russia. they thought, as putin did, that he was going to roll in, and two days later it would be done. okay. put the flag out front. didn't work out. we are now in day 19. and mr. xi, looking at the world stage is realizing you know what? vladimir sold me a bill of goods. he said it was going to be easy. it's not ease i can't understand we both look bad. >> will: hopefully that self-reflection extends to any future plans to invade taiwan. the relationship between china and russia is fascinating one and not appear easy partnership historically. really the only thing that aligns these two countries is a mutual understanding that the
3:14 am
united states is their adversary. and so we need to understand that is what motivates this partnership. it's still no, matter how uneasy it may be between them is focused on the west. focused on the united states. and to be clear-eyed sees us as their international enemy. >> rachel: jake sullivan said there would be repercussions there would be sanctions if, you know, they were supplying and so forth. the truth is, and, you know, the kind of universal -- to include corporations sanctions that we have seen in russia simply would not happen with china. because our corporations are far too dependent on that market. so i think she absolutely understands that he has an advantage over russia. if on many fronts but including that one. >> steve: peace talks today in ukraine, let's hope something does happen. ukraine. >> rachel: absolutely. chance. >> steve: ukraine is adamant
3:15 am
they want immediate cease-fire and russia to leave. something they have heard across the table makes them think there is a reason for optimism. fingers crossed. all right. coming up, as war rages in ukraine, president biden is shifting the focus to the economy. but, as inflation rises at a record pace, will he continue to blame vladimir putin as he did last week? >> will: plus, return from retirement. what's prompting tom brady to get back on the field this fall? you heard the news last night, right? brady's back. welcome to allstate. here, we have another reason for you to slow down. safe drivers save 40% with drivewise. ♪ "slow ride" by foghat ♪ call a local agent or 1-888-allstate for a quote today.

murders and five shootings across both cities. the latest deadly shooting happening in lower manhattan just last night. several of the victims were shot while sleeping. overnight, a massive fire erupting in california over 100 firefighters responding to a brush fire in the hampton dam recreation area in los angeles. crews quickly responding in the air and on the ground and were able to contain the fire. no injuries reported in the blaze. and the cause is currently under investigation. critically acclaimed actor and the star of broadcast news, william hurt has died. >> the latest message seems so i indicate that the libyan pilot was acting on his own without authority from anyone else. >> camera two? >> in other words i think we are all okay. >> he was diagnosed in 2018 with terminal prostate cancer. william hurt is survived by his four children. his death comes a week before
3:21 am
his 72nd birthday. those will your headlines, guys, over to you. >> steve: i remember when broadcast news came out and so many people didn't realize wait a minute, while the anchorman is talking about there is somebody in their ear telling them something? [laughter] >> steve: he did it so artfully. >> will: that a question whenever you meet someone back home. they are always asking about whatever comes through your ear. >> steve: right. >> will: thousand distracting it may on or about what's being fed to you say. >> will: i can fed to say but it is distracting. >> steve: the stuff i get is always great. okay, they are saying move on. >> will: that's what you get. all of the time. >> rachel: all day. >> steve: listen, we have a certain amount of time. we got to get. >> rachel: get to the news. i was down in florida last week. and everybody was talking about two things. the second thing was always about and what do you think
3:22 am
about ukraine? the first thing was what do you think about these prices? and the way they would start is i just filled up my car and it was $130, stuff like that. i bought gas yesterday in florida. it was at a self-serve stage. it was premium but it was $5.25 a gallon in florida tyke a look at the national averages, today a gallon of regular 4.33. last week it was about 4 bucks last month 3.50. last year, look at that, way south of a dollar. it's across the board. >> will: not to sound like heidi high camp buying premium? buy regular. >> steve: gets rid of the rattle. >> will: the reason i bring up heidi heitcamp the north dakota senator said it's your fault. have you come to expect chief gas prices and you shouldn't have. >> blame the party in power. and, you know, the, the
3:23 am
administration wasn't aggressive enough this, in my opinion on burning back on the red herrings, can i just say that is an artificially low price that you are starting from. and when you do inflation adjustment, this isn't the highest price we have had in the last 20 years. in fact, george herbert walker bush under the bush administration we had gas prices inflation adjusted over $5. we are shocked because we got used to $2 gas. that's the problem. >> will: that's the problem. rich rach it's our fault for wanting to live a good life and have our groceries be a little cheaper and maybe save a little money and go camping or go on vacation. how selfish of us. how absolutely selfish of us. >> steve: they would like-there are a lot of people on the political left who would like gas to be $12 a gallon so we don't drive as much. >> rachel: by design. >> steve: there are are a lot of people frustrated on the political left now during these, you know, supply seems to be
3:24 am
shrinking on the world market. justifying political left a moment to break away from fossil fuels and instead of produce more, by the way i saw that sticker down in florida at the gas station. >> rachel: my sister sent she a shot of that when she was in arlington, virginia. this is a very liberal -- i mean a very conservative area that i'm in. look what i just saw on my gas station. i will say this, if you are a politician that is saying we shouldn't have low gas prices. >> you must not like your constituents, you must not like this country. i mean, low gas prices allow people to prosper, to live, you know, a middle class life. it's unbelievable to me that that is the response to it. but it is by design. if did you go back and look at there are clips of hillary clinton saying that we need gas prices to go higher there are clips from barack obama also
3:25 am
advocating for higher energy costs as a way wean us off of fossil fuels. this is what they believe the radical climate agenda. they think they are going to normalize us through this. the problem is it was just a year ago or, you know that we had low gas prices and people just want to go back to the good old times of the trump economy. >> will: sometimes the news is complicated and sometimes it's simple. i wholeheartedly agree with you. moments like this where you hear heidi heitcamp we lower gas prices. they disagree with you about their way of life. you pair that with hillary clinton calling people deplorable. >> you pair that with stephen colbert saying i'm ready for $15 gas. clean conscience. it's not just but but your way of life that is truly at the center ever the bulls eye. >> if you are steve colbert as said in that clip you just referred. to say i have a tesla. and other people who believe that it's okay to have $5.06 gas
3:26 am
maybe live in, you know, urban areas where they don't have to drive. if you live in rural areas, you have to drive to work. >> steve: you have no choice. 25 miles to the grocery store. new poll out over this weekend, 77% of americans support banning russian oil and they are okay with it to combat putin. and ukraine 70% blame president biden for the prices. and here's the thing. this was laid bear by our white house correspondent last week, listen to the reason from the podium why gas prices are so high, and they blame president putin and our correspondent said hey, wait a minute, you know, last month you blamed the pandemic when we hit a had 40-year high for inflation, are you going to blame putin for everything between here and the midterms and the answer not what they gave but the answer will be yes, of course.
3:27 am
>> will: great when he asked if joe biden had electric freak so perfect. >> steve: it was electrifying. >> will: now to the nfl, huge news, tom brady set to return for his 23rd nfl season. >> rachel: brady saying he plans to return to football next year after announcing his retirement just last month. >> steve: last month i predicted this todd piro is live with more on brady's decision to unretire. >> todd: shape things up last night. the goat making a comeback after announcing his retirement 40 days ago, brady says is he returning to the nfl. he said this past two months i realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. that time will come. but it's not now. i'm coming back for 23rd season in tampa. unfinished business lfg. we will explain what lfg means for people over 40. sending shock waves to the
3:28 am
sports world coming back to the nfl when he announced his retirement. he said he needed to focus time and energy on other things including his family. apparently that's changed. the 44-year-old still the best quarterback in all of football. red the nfl in touchdowns, passing yards. tampa bay buccaneers los angeles rams in the divisional round of the playoffs. brady's come back may have been inspired by the goat of the other football over the weekend he was in england, not new england but the real england to see dr. super star christiana reynaldo scored three goals in premier league match hours before brady announced his come back. the final touchdown ball that he threw in the playoff defeat in l.a. was auctioned off for $518,000. putting aside for a moment whether those people want their money back. it's no longer the final. lfg is not a mistake he wrote. he wasn't referring to lng this isn't a reference to lid divide
3:29 am
energy gas. the sphmplet a curse we can't say on tv. >> will: i wanted to see how you were going to do this. everybody know what is lfg. ed toed it people say it started with the methods thing they put on lfg methods. >> will: i don't know about that. >> todd: look it up. >> rachel: women wanted brady to come back overwhelmingly. >> will: watched wen nald dough score three goals. at the end of the game reynaldo says so you are done and brady goes can. >> steve: meh. >> will: three hours later we get the news. russia turning to china for military and financial support after invading ukraine. the danger this alliance poses to global security.

3:34 am
in western ukraine. you can see here for those watching at home as we mentioned just 15 miles from the polish border. but i would love it ask but potentially another red line. that is what was going on in your estimation at this military training center? we have heard reports that that as recently as a month ago the florida national guard was stationed there. american troops at this base. we know there are weapons flowing in to poland into ukraine from that polish border. vladimir putin says is he going to strike any supply chain of weaponry going into ukraine. what do you think was going on at this air base. >> i think it was training, advising, assisting, staging base to move forward to areas within ukraine that needed reinforcements of, you know, am mission, stinger, javelins, anything else that came in there. so i think it was being used predominantly for that. and, of course, i don't think
3:35 am
it's a surprise that putin would see that as a target. since he sees civilians as a target. and is he a war criminal. so he is going to attack just about anything he possibly can. and then justify it as military target. >> will: general, do you think that -- there are no reports that there were no american military personnel at this air base. if it's a supply center a resupply center of weaponry, any nato personnel. polish, you know, soldiers, helping deliver this weaponry, or can we assume this was simply ukrainian military? >> well, i think it's a safe asuncio'n that it's ukrainian military. you know, i would have to -- excuse me, i would have to suggest that going over the border at this time is probably not anything that the administration has approved. i mean, we saw that in last december it's by understanding
3:36 am
at least historically china buys from russia not the other way around. if it's true that russia is asking china for help, what does that tell you? >> well, it's a huge concern. of course, it confirms their allegiance. also, we can't factor out north korea and iran. china has made its choice. it's picked vladimir putin, a war criminal in his war crime invasion over ukraine and the west. we can't stop china from giving military equipment to countries and other places of the world. it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to stop them from doing this. china is existential threat with russia north korea and iran added in there this is extremely
3:37 am
dangerous. >> will: fascinating moment reveals the russian military may be weaker than we thought. if they had to reverse the relationship and now ask for military aid from china. general, thank you for enlightening us on these two issues. >> god bless you and thank you. >> will: coming up, jussie smollett waking up this today in a different jail cell. why the disgraced actor is reportedly moving to the psych ward no. surprise. the federal reserve set to raise interest flights two years. charles payne on what it can mean for your wallet next. ♪ at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science. kitchen? sorted. hot tub, why not? and of course, puppy-friendly. we don't like to say perfect, but it's pretty perfect. booking.com, booking.yeah. and it's easy to get a quote at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu? limu? sorry, one sec.

3:42 am
wallet? as you can see right here in the big studio. host of making money fox business charles payne. >> good morning. >> steve: why is the federal reserve going to jack up interest? >> trying to slow down, you know, the economy. that's typically what they do. these interest rate hikes if you can think about it as speed bumps. the reason why it's controversial now, first of all, they have you had have put them in a long time ago. secondly, it's rare they do it under conditions that we have right now. again, it's usually when the economy is hot and accelerating. we are in an economy now that's decelerating. so it's another experiment, if you will, that on the part of the federal reserve in part because they should have probably been taken this action at least a year ago. at minimum. >> were you drinking your coffee when the white house essentially blamed. [laughter] >> steve: vladimir putin for the putin price hike the inflation was at 40 year high now they are blaming putin. >> blamed putin, the trump card
3:43 am
expired and over the weekend they started blaming their own voters. so i mean it's like, i guess when you get to the bottom of the deck of the blame card, the last one is like blame the people that put you in office. they don't care. you know, it is sort of despicable because, listen, a lot of things factor in to inflation. but arguably that $1.9 trillion was completely unnecessary. the so-called covid relief act, the american rescue plan which by the way it its birthday last week. happy birthday, the only thing since then prices have gone absolutely through the roof and all of those gains, last month, all the wage gains were erased. people's wages were down 2.6% year over year. >> steve: gas hotels stuff is through the roof. one of the things my wife and i noticed when we go to the grocery store, sure the prices are up. it just seems like everything is a dollar more or what a company is doing is putting less stuff in the packages. >> yeah. >> steve: big news stories over
3:44 am
the weekend doritos they have taken five chips out. apparently that happened a year or two ago. you were talking your wife the research department about this segment and she went to the pantry. >> shy said you know what? so my sister-in-law came by the house friday with this tuna fish. she was really pumped. said it was a few pennies left. wife went to the pantry commensurate. the price didn't go down enough to offset how much less tuna fish you are getting. every day people see this all the time. this is what you live with and ironically i'm not sure how the federal reserve even accounts for this. this is inflation in real life. this is what happens, your money goes a lot less further. and you get few irthings. and people realize this on friday we had the consumer sentiment number out. it was so awful. in fact, it was at a point that it's always correlated to recessions. you know, listen, i don't know if the white house plans to do about it the blame game isn't

smollett says that disgraced actor is being unfairly held in a psych ward of a chicago jail. now, in a courtroom outburst following his sentencing last week, smollett warned he may not be safe behind bars. >> i did not do this. and i am not suicidal and if anything happens to me when i go in there, i did not do it to myself. and you must all know that. >> carley: smollett's brother calling the move to the psych ward, quote: outrageous. he isn't allowed to play home games for the brooklynettes but kyrie irving caught maskless. not allowing him to play home games because is he unvaccinated even lebron james calls the bizarre policy keeps irving on the sideline for home games. it literally makes absolutely zero sense. so he can watch the game, steve, without a mask. but he can't play.
3:47 am
>> will: that's stupid. >> carley: ridiculous. >> steve: there is a crowd with a bunch of people no mask on but out -- >> carley: i'm glad he sat in those seats. i think he was trying to make a point. >> steve: and he did. >> carley: he certainly did. >> steve: on this monday, let's get your "foxcast" with janice dean who is outside where it's cold. >> janice: it is cold. absolutely we had a bit of a winter storm across the northeast this weekend. temperatures going to rebound though. take a look at it 12 degrees above what it was in new york this time yesterday. 23 degrees above what it was in cleveland this time yesterday. so there are your temperatures. they are told you about they are going to be warming up and that's what happens in march. we v t sea saw the temperatures getting into the 50's across the northeast. and 60 degrees in chicago. >> we have warm across the southern plains. we have a severe weather threat. we have this cold front area of low pressure that comes across texas, louisiana, up towards arkansas. a lot of abundant gulf moisture and unstable air mass so the
3:48 am
risk to stronger to severe thunderstorms. large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. keep that in mind and also the risk of heavy rainfall all along the gulf coast that severe threat moving into florida tomorrow. thank you very much, my friend. >> steve: thank you, j.d. coming up congress members join us with the veteran experience of the russian invasion of ukraine. the computer tech who turned over hunter biden's computer now on the brink of bankruptcy. miranda devine on the new fallout over the laptop from hell. she's next.
3:53 am
>> rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." the computer shot owner who turned in the laptop to the fbi says he is on the verge of bankruptcy. he claims it comes after months of liberal intimidation campaign against him telling him the "new york post" quote i have been punished for my actions to set an example for anyone else that might try to blot wrong whistle. fox news contributor and "new york post" columnist miranda devine on the case in her book laptop from hell and she joins us now. miranda, always great to have you on the show. >> good to see you, rachel. >> rachel: this really steams me because this guy, in fact, did a favor to the country. he uncovered all of this corruption. many of it having possibly national security implications and he is harassed. he has got death threats. is he going bankrupt. meanwhile hunter biden has gotten richer. >> yeah. look it's incredibly unfair, rachel. this is a man who
3:54 am
really is an american hero. is he a patriot. he is someone who call wrongdoing on that laptop. and, instead of keeping quiet about it he decided that he would blot whistle. he looked for someone to tell he tried various republican congressman, got no response, finally got through to rudy giuliani. and since then, his life has been turned upside down. he, to this day, has not got his business back. he had to leave his home in delaware and go to another state. he has been targeted by death threats and harassment by the irs and various other agencies. to make matters most, he tried to sue twitter for defamation. he lost and then had to pay twitter legal fees as well as his own. he is tens of thousands of dollars in debt. he will probably have to declare bankruptcy. yet, he is such a good person that he says he would do it all
3:55 am
again. his only regret is that you know, the story that the "new york post" ended up publishing before the election was censored and never had the effect that he had hoped it would. >> rachel: he truly is a patriot. people may not realize or remember, but is he disabled. i believe he is blind, miranda, correct? >> he is legally blind. i mean, can he see well enough close up to do the very fine work that he does repairing computers. but, yes, i mean, he can't drive a car and it's difficult for him to get around. >> rachel: he applied for benefits and he wasn't getting his unemployment benefits. he went all the way to senator coons of delaware. so, the government has been weaponized against him at every level as you mentioned big tech. i will leave you really quick with the last word because i'm very concerned about the way he has been attacked, especially by government. >> yes, he strongly believes
3:56 am
that there are various agencies in government that have targeted him and n. retaliation for his blowing the whistle on the biden family and their involvement in corruption, particularly in ukraine and so he is speaking out now in the hope that that harassment will stop. he also has a book that he wants to write which we're hoping to get published for him. >> rachel: i hope that happens. i will tell you, miranda, my colleague pete hegseth said he just should open a shop say who he is in another red part of the country and he would probably get a lot of commerce. all right, miranda, thank you so much for joining us this morning. brewing up the court how a wisconsin business is using beer to help the ukrainian people.

[gunfire] >> todd: award-winning journalist renot in kyiv. >> what made him special is he loved telling stories. [gunfire] >> fox news has confirmed reports that russia asked china for military equipment. >> china is existential threat and with russia, north korea, and iran added in there, this is
4:01 am
extremely dangerous. ♪ >> will: we start with a fox news alert. russian forces carrying out a new round of deadly attacks near kyiv. new video showing the smoke from another strike. this one rocking an aviation plant. this is just hours ago. >> rachel: drone footage shows the extent of russian shelling on mariupol one of the hardest hit cities in ukraine. >> steve: this comes as new tributes emerge for the award-winning measure journalist shot dead by russian forces. we is that right this hour with trey yingst live in kyiv with the latest on the overnight strikes and, trey, i was just reading that apparently ukrainian officials are trying to open because some people are on the road, the exodus toward the west. they are trying to open 10 evacuation roots or humanitarian corridors which, in the past have not been very effective because even though they say okay, we are going to go on this
4:02 am
road, there are landmines on the road and the russians bomb them. >> yeah. that's exactly right. every time this conflict has seen evacuation corridors open for civilians, they have been targeted by russian shelling. and even landmines along the side of the road. this is a development that civilians here hope will be positive. we can only wait and see what actually happens on the ground and how much the russians are willing to respect these humanitarian corridors. comes as we continue to follow the tragic news yesterday of that american journalist killed just outside the city of kyiv. his friend subpoenaing outs from the hospital as he was being treated about what happened yesterday as they encountered russian troops. >> we crossed a check point and they started shooting at us. turned around and kept shooting two of us. my friend's friend renault he has been shot and left behind. >> jake sullivan calling breath
4:03 am
renault's death horrifying. >> this is obviously shocking and horrifying. i will be consulting with my colleagues. i will be consulting with the ukrainians to determine how this happened and then to measure and execute appropriate consequences. >> we are learning more devastating news from the southern part of ukraine where this pregnant mother, pictured being carried out of a maternity hospital bombed in the city of mariupol has passed away. russian shelling not only heavier closer there but kyiv. apartment building hit in the northern part of the city killing at least two people and injuring 12 others. see in the video here firefighters climbing into the structure looking for survivors. this type of destruction will get more common as russian forces get closer. we are getting new images today from the town of irpin just outside the capital where that american journalist was killed yesterday. this drone footage shows the ukrainians firing on russian
4:04 am
forces in the city. the russian troops control at least 30% of irpin at this point. and a mayor says about a sixth of the residents do remain in the city. east of kyiv also seeing heavy fire from russian forces. we visited those front lines over the weekend. >> there there may be an offensive today. they have strengthened their forces. each time their column is ready, we hit them. >> to the east of kyiv, ukrainian soldiers wait for enemy troops to arrive. a sign above them reads russia, welcome to hell. >> this is the eastern front of this conflict outside ever the capital of kyiv. just a few days ago russian forces attempted to bring a tank convoy down this road and toward the capital city. they were hit hard by ukrainian forces who were able to create a new frontline. >> there was a big column of enemy tanks, one soldier says. approximately 100 military vehicles. they were shooting at residential buildings,. >> in the distance, we can hear those explosions taking place at this hour.
4:05 am
russian shelling is getting closer to the city center and the capital is bracing for what will be very difficult days ahead. back to you. >> steve: hey, trey, we understand that the virtual peace talks are on right now. at what point will we find whether or not any progress is made? >> i think we will know in part based on the actions of the russians on the ground. if they are able to get at least some sort of temporary cease-fire in place to allow more civilian evacuation, that will be a very positive sign. it's also something we see in war all around the world two. sides coming together and develop canning at least a understanding for 24 to 48 hours to allow civilians to get out of way. the question is will it hold if they are able to get some sort of deal together. a lot comes down to the russian informs that invaded this country. they say they are willing to cease-fire now. the way this is working you have russian forces coming into ukraine and the ukrainians are defending their major population centers. so when these shellings continue
4:06 am
and the missile strikes continue the ukrainians are left with no other options than to defend their cities. >> will: we were talking last hour before we lost your shot, there were reports initially that this tragedy involving the journalist brent renold that he was report fog the "new york times." carrying a "new york times" badge. the statement from the "new york times" says he was not currently on assignment for that newspaper. any information on what he was doing or who he was working for there in ukraine? >> is he working as a freelancer of sorts. and worked for a variety of different publication, "time" magazine released a statement indicating he was doing work for them at the time that he was killed on the ground in ukraine. it's very common for freelancers with them to kerr old press crenels based on being fact they are not work fargo specific organization for a full-time staffer this appears to be the situation here when we saw the initial reports that he was a staff member for the "new york
4:07 am
times" based on his credentials. they did put out a statement he had worked for them in the past and they were deeply saddened by this tragedy. >> will: we had you on the program this weekend we talk about the fog of war and how we acquire information that is different than it was in afghanistan and iraq. how do we go about? is it confirmed? i know we have reported that he was killed by russian soldiers? and how do we go about confirming the details of what went down there? >> it's very difficult. because you mentioned the fog of war. things are very complicated to get information. especially when people are killed on the front line. the ukrainian officials that we have spoken with say it was russian troops that shot him. we do not have video or photo evidence to support those statements by ukrainian officials. >> based on people at the scene and ukrainian officials who helped get him out using medical evacuation, they say it was russian forces at a check point deeper into irpin. the difficulties in this city each day the front lines are changing.
4:08 am
you could go one block and you are with ukrainian forces and the next block you face russian troops. this has been a very common scenario for not only journalists that we have talked to on the ground in irpin, but even ourselves, when we are operating in this city. you can go one block and you see ukrainian troops in the distance. you look down the next block and not sure who is there it's a very difficult and blurry situation for journalists to be operating in. and, again, this tragic update of a journalist killed amid this war. >> steve: terrible. >> rachel: thank you, trey. keep safe and grateful for all your great reporting. really quick, i want toll it you, you mentioned the negotiations that are going on right now as we speak. hopefully. something good will come of it. also to note that a couple days ago there was another set of negotiations that in turkey and it was very high level. sergey lavrov was there. as well as the ukraine foreign minister and though they didn't announce what kind of progress
4:09 am
came out of that, that doesn't mean there was no progress. one of the things that happened shortly after that meeting mr. lavrov referred to ukraine as a continuing state. which many people or some analysts said is a sign that you know, he believes that ukraine will exist, you know, after that. they are not planning on ending that as a state. so i think that's a positive and now we have these talks that are going on right now, will and i were talking off camera about just how desperate putin is right now that he has a lot of pressure on him. the people around him, you know, if there is any weakness and people have been talking about how poorly, you know, the military has been operating and how uncoordinated and not as great as everyone thought they were going to be, that sign of weakness is something that should trouble him. everyone around putin is a potential successor. as well as the oligarchs though who arelosing their yachts and .
4:10 am
all of these things may possibly add up to something hopeful. although as you say, will, there is not a lot to agree on in terms of what each side actually wants. >> will: it is tough to see a potential -- we can always hope there has been great amount of sacrifice on both sides of this war so far. we know that putin cannot, for his own personal ambition exit this war without declaring victory. he simply can't go back to russia without declaring victory. as far as the ukrainians, i can't imagine a compromise that involves any type of territorial compromise or territorial sacrifice. >> steve: they are not giving up an inch. >> will: can you imagine the people mariupol saying okay we will be russia now. >> rachel: who knows? let's hope for the best. >> steve: what ukraine wants is a cease-fire with virtual peace talk and they want russia out.
4:11 am
will putin leave? not like magic 8 ball says. ask again later. the answer is no. obviously. because he has got, you know, he went in big. he can't go back a loser. >> rachel: that's absolutely right there. is other news out there. one of them is inflation as the inflation crisis worsens, president biden is pivoting back to his economic agenda. making sure history spending plan doesn't end up on the cutting room floor. >> steve: democrats once again divided on relief strategies for their constituents. >> will: peter doocy joins us from washington with the latest. peter? >> peter: good morning, now some lawmakers in town are wondering out loud whether or not president biden's commitment to keeping auto missions low is going to mean that gas prices stay high. >> president biden did cancel the keystone xl pipeline project. and we saw about 71,000 jobs
4:12 am
across the energy sector go away because of president biden's deranged climate policies. >> gas is more than 4.30 a gallon on average and the price of oil per barrel is up to $110. a handful of democratic governors are asking congress to suspend the federal gas tax but so far there is no white house commitment to that critics are warning that could effect coo effect repair projects. oil producers are calling on president biden just to cut red tape and let them drill. but there are now some shrugging of this all off. believing that high prices are in the eye of the beholder. >> can i just say that is an artificially low price that you are starting from. and when you do inflation adjustment, this isn't the highest price we have had in the past 20 years. we are shocked because we got used to $2 gas. >> the president is going to give a speech today here in town at a conference.
4:13 am
we are told that his focus is going to be on the american rescue plan and on the infrastructure bill and on the role that local leaders played during the pandemic as he continues a kind of prolonged kickoff to the midterm season. back to you. >> steve: peter you have asked jen psaki last week so are you guys going to blame everything on vladimir putin between now and the mid termed arched she said why. inflation was at 40-year high before the invasion. the average american gets that. >> january last month was the third month in a row that there was or rather going back now more than a month. the third month in a row of 40-year high inflation. and so they told us for a long time well, it's just because of the pandemic. well, there is demand problems that are leading to a supply chain issue. and now when they put out a statement about the reasons for high inflation, the word
4:14 am
pandemic not in there. we have control f. we served it's not in there. they are not talking about the supply chains, they are just blaming putin and thin investigation. and we don't expect that to change. >> will: any update on whether or not joe biden has electric vehicle? has he moved from corvette to electric vehicle, peter? >> i think if he he has one they would have told me the other day when i asked. he was at camp david this weekend. i don't think he was at the dealership. >> rachel: joe biden has a corvette? >> will: he has a mussel engine sports car of some kind. >> rachel: joe biden? mid life crisis car. >> it's like a passion of his. he did a whole couple things when he was vice president driving it around with jay leno and revving the engine. posted a twitter video where is he driving it up the driveway. we know he has got that one. >> steve: your point in asking that question was obviously when
4:15 am
it comes to energy now the white house is saying everybody should drive an electric vehicle or hybrid of some sort. but then if you are going to lead by example, maybe the guy who loves to drive. you told me that the president, when he was senator, out of the stump would talk about driving that corvette around all the time. >> yes. i had a chance to ask the president at one point in summer when they had an electric jeep here, when is the last time that you drove a car? he said he had just driven one in michigan. so he does go to these events where he will drive the newly developed electric cars around. going back months, even before what they called the #putin price hike, we had jennifer granholm in the briefing room talking about rising gas prices and she said long before all of this, well, high gas prices are not a problem if you have an electric vehicle. and so they have been trying the whole time that they have been
4:16 am
here to get the country off fossil fuels. a big part of that is to get people in electric vehicles. and, again, that is something that they sees a a work around to $5-gallon gas. >> will: not unlike the pandemic restriction. it is practice what you preach. preach drive the electric vehicle and i drive the vet. preach you stay home and guy to the laundrie restaurant. >> steve: does jennifer granholm have electric vehicle? >> will: if she doesn't this conversation is over. >> they are expensive. >> rachel: i don't care if joe biden has electric vehicle he can afford one. the argue american cannot afford one. there is not enough stations for people living in rural areas. the point is our world runs on fossil fuel. this country is blessed with tons of it also a national security issue. why the heck can't they get this
4:17 am
straight? it's crazy. >> steve: peter, look it up, control f. >> i will do. >> rachel: what's the miles per hour, what kind of mileage does the corvette, what kind of miles? >> will: can't be good. >> steve: 5. >> will: 12 to 15? steve: it's great ride. just saying. >> rachel: i'm sure it is. >> steve: news time and carley joins us. >> carley: government some head lynn's here. want to warn you this contains image thats of violence. the nypd knife attack at new york metropolitan museum of art. suspects gary leaping over a desk and escaping skaff members. escaped and took to facebook after the incident claiming he was frayed and evicted from the museum. nearly 2,800 chicago police officers will face no pay status if they miss sunday's deadline to get first dose of the

4:20 am

4:26 am
friend danny pearl. one afternoon in december 20, 2002. it took me back to this moment when i crossed the border from schauer into afghanistan. there was friend who kept texting me that was my friend danny pearl. he kept saying to me come back, come back. i got into a car and i saw afghanistan through a bullet hole in this window. of the car that i had gotten into. and i thought to myself. that could be any one of us. and sure enough, a month later, danny was taken from this interview from which he never returned and kidnapped and the world knows beheaded. both of those journalists, you know, these stories over 20 years, danny and brent's brave reporters gone out to into the world with nothing more than a pen, a video camera, and
4:27 am
notebook in their hand just trying to witness for the world what many of us cannot see. and so, i hope everybody can see this moment as a time to really treasure the freedoms that we have got in the united states. for journalists. and also protect journalists out there in the world. and end this war also. we are going to have more casualties like this that are just tragedies over these last 20 years. danny has not been able to see his son grow up. and brent renaud has gone out there in the world to be a witness. but now he is gone. >> will: of course, there are hundreds of these types of stories. even those closer to home in mexico. which we don't talk about near enough when it codges to the narcowar there. and the difficulties and the decision no clear line of safety on one side and the story on the other. how do you make that decision? how do you get close enough but still remain safe? >> well, you know, when i

started off in journalism, in 1990s, when you wore press across your shirt or jacket, it was considered some type of immunity from danger. but now, unfortunately, it's become a target. and we're going to get the details about who was actually, you know, pressing the trigger on the weapon that killed brent renaud but ultimately, run dreads of journalists just like you say have been murdered over these past 20 years. there is this thing called impunity that is happening where people are literally getting away with murder. so we have lost so many journalists and people are not prosecuted. so, in danny's case, for example, we got four prosecutions 20 years ago. but in the southern, you know, suddenshock to us two years agon covid. the judiciary in pakistan decided these men were innocent and they were going to be free. we have been fighting for these

4:34 am
national security adviser jake sullivan yesterday. he will meet today with his chinese counterpart later today in rome as u.s. officials confirm russia apparently asked china for military and economic help after invading ukraine. >> steve: here with reaction, our panel of military veterans in congress. florida congressman brian mast, iowa congresswoman mariannette miller meeks and new york gubernatorial cap democrat congressman lee zeldin. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> steve: mariannette, let's start with you. do you think russia really needs this stuff or do they just want us all to know hey, look, we have got somebody in the fight with us, it's china? >> i think certainly it could be both. but i do think that they want to forward and make publicly known this alliance that they have with china. >> steve: i think you are probably right. lee, what do you make of this? you know, we have heard while the sources a little vague about
4:35 am
what exactly russia is asking. i heard one report yesterday it sounded like they were asking for drones and money because things, you know, sanctions are working. it's good that the sanctions are working. if that is part of the story is true. but you would think that russia would have drones. >> i think that we're seeing a longer history here of russia starting to cooperate a bit more with china. there were reports out that possibly russia was waiting to invade ukraine until after the conclusion of the olympics. if you look at the timing of when russia decided to go into ukraine it certainly bears out with the evidence that's before our eyes. we are seeing realignments elsewhere. you know, right now india moving in a way with reports out this morning towards russia. i remember when president trump was in office, he was going to india. there were crowds of tens of thousands of people waiting to
4:36 am
greet him. modi was hosting him. but there is this realignment that's taking place right now. and part of that is russia and china becoming a bit closer even though in the past there has been some distrust between them. >> steve: sure. brian mast, later today, in rome, jake sullivan is going to meet with china's top diplomat. this was a meeting that apparently was scheduled for months. just so happens that it is happening during -- it's going on in russia's war on ukraine. mr. sullivan apparently is going to make it very clear that the administration is not happy that china is taking russia's side on ukraine and going to tell him face to face. will that make any difference? don't they already know? >> >> i don't think that it makes a great deal of difference at this point. because what you've seen out of russia is the ability for putin to control the actions of the west. and now china is looking at this
4:37 am
in the exact same way. they say okay, we are a bigger part of the nuclear club than russia is. we have the ability to go out there and make if then statements to the united states of america and the west that they will listen to even though we should be doing those things ahead of time. if putin can say if you do this, then i will consider it an act of war. why can't china do the exact same thing. they would have been trained now. best way to put it these leaders, these communist dictators have been trained that if they say that to the west, they will get away with what they want. >> steve: mariannette, you know, over the last week or so, we have heard the urgent pleas from president zelenskyy, you know, hey, nato, we need those migs and poland has said we will give them the migs but we will put them in u.s. custody. joe biden has said we are not going to do that because we don't want to started world war iii. at the same time, that you've got zelenskyy asking for migs, now you have got russia asking for stuff from china as well.
4:38 am
you see a parallel there? >> i absolutely see a parallel. and putin, xi jinping and the ayatollah have all been looking for weakness from the united states and the biden administration have shown that weakness. and one of the, you know, biggest mistakes was the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. leaving behind equipment, abandoning our allies and abandoning an air base. absolutely there are things that we can do. zelenskyy is asking for our support, and i think we need to understand that this doesn't stop at ukraine. vladimir putin wants to renegotiate the end of the cold war. he wants to reassemble ussr. just like, you know, xi jinping wants to dominate the south pacific and taiwan and he wants to do that before the 100th anniversary in 2049. so i think sending assistance, further sanctions, sending military aid, surface to air missiles, i do think having
4:39 am
poland send the mig 29s is a very important step for ukraine to defend itself and we can backfill those though poland. >> steve: brian marx what about the migs? we have heard from the pentagon that reportedly you know what? ukrainian air force is already fry flying, we don't feel as if the migs would make a difference. >> i think that's nonsense. we know that there is dissension among those in the administration about those that think we should be sending jets, those that think we shouldn't be. if ukrainian leaders and their military leaders have a plan of attack that they want to execute. we need to allow them to execute. support them in executing that and then make one other observation about whether we will or will not send jets. under no ladder of escalation with any country does it go from okay, we are selling somebody military hardware or jets to nuclear war. russia sells weapons to iran,
4:40 am
iran attacks the united states of america on various occasions. we don't immediately jump to nuclear war or even conventional war with iran this idea that the pentagon is putting forward that they sore frightened of any level of he is can a labor relation. i think it shows that they don't seem to understand the history or the properties of the ladders of escalation that we have when it comes to warfare. >> steve: sure. lee, you know, the calls from washington politician to give the mig to ukraine has been bipartisan, which i think probably shocked a number of members of the administration. be. >> i think to a certain respect. some of the support that's being discussed is coming too late. and there have been more of a deterrent effect if some of the sanctions that have been implemented were threatened earlier. so that putin knew that actually sanctions with teeth as a product of multilateral diplomacy many nations were
4:41 am
going to be on board to actually put pressure on russia. as it relates to the military lethal aid that's being provided to ukraine, some of what is getting sent right now, you might argue is getting sent too late. have you seen russia blowing up ammo depots where that hardware would have gotten towards these ukrainian fighters before russia had even entered into ukraine's borders. so, i believe that some of the support is a little bit too late. and here you have ukraine looking for help from others. there is more ways that the united states and others can assist. and to do so without escalating. >> steve: right. mariannette, let's talk a little bit. you are from the state i was born, in iowa. a lot of america's food comes from iowa. meat and vegetables as well. the number one thing i hear from people out on the street is can you believe, you know, chicken is so expensive? can you believe the price of gas? and we have heard from the white
4:42 am
house over the last week, the reason that gas is so expensive, is because before vladimir putin's invasion. which is not true. it has jacked up the price. but it was at, you know, inflation is at 40-year high before the invasion. >> you know, president biden continues to put the blame on other people for his policies, his policies, the spending from, you know, first covid-19 package, the 1.9 trillion have led to inflation, his canceling the keystone pipeline, not allowing drilling on federal lands. not allowing exports of lng. all of that sends a signal to the international market. so price of gasoline has gone up. we all feel that every day. but that is not an excuse for inaction in ukraine. this is about so much more than ukraine. you have poland, latvia a romania, even finland and then you have what's happening with the ayatollah. with iran bombing recently.
4:43 am
then you have got china. inaction should not be tolerated by the american people. it's up to our president to explain why it's important that we support ukraine. you know, they have shown tremendous courage and determination and so we need to continue to support them. continue the sanctions, unfortunately, that hurts the russian people in order to effect the actions of vladimir putin. i think all three of us would agree it came too late. sanctions could have been imposed. we should have never allowed the nord stream two pipeline to go forward again. so those deterrent actions should have started earlier but right now we need to support the ukrainian people and, you know, part of that is surface-to-air missiles and allowing them to defend themselves. >> steve: lee, to the congresswoman's point, there are a number of people who say on day one joe biden declared war against fossil fuel, fast forward to today. now we have less supply and the
4:44 am
gas meter it looks like a zip code right there. wait, it's -- i was down in florida yesterday and i bought gas it was 5 bucks a gallon, it was premium self-serve. nonetheless it's killing people. >> it really is taking its toll. the united states policy to cut off russian oil imports the biden administration out of deference to john kerry, the climate czar and the radical left that helped them get into office. they end up running off it iran and venezuela. i don't believe that we should be relying on any dictators. we should be relying on any terrorist that runs the world's largest state sponsor of terror. this is an opportunity for us to ramp up domestic energy production. to say become energy independent again. right here in the state of new york. we have the ability to safely extract natural resource. underneath us. we have the marcella shale. utica shell it would create jobs it would lower energy costs it
4:45 am
would generate revenue it would help us to become energy independent. we see pipelines that have approval requests in that blue state governors and this president are sitting on. and what we need to could is take this opportunity to drive down the cost not just short-term but long term as well. it's not just about economic security but physical security. >> steve: congressman mast, new question out to you. new poll out says 77% of americans support banning russian oil even if it means higher prices. 70% of americans blame joe biden for prices. this is a midterm election year. that's not good for him nor his party. mast mast no, it's not at all, because they are hurting americans where they feel it at the most, at the grocery store. at the gas pump, and they're not doing things that washington could do to make a difference right away. they could get rid of the 18.4 cents per gallon gas tax.
4:46 am
24% gasper gallon tax. big rigs so truckers can get things from a to b in a quicker way. they could be authorizing the core of engineers and military personnel to work in ports to help ease that labor shortage and get goods out of our ports at a faster rate. there are things that they could be working on bipartisanly, even though they screwed up american energy policy and made us dependent on bad actors. they are not even doing those things. newark needs to stop being negligent on the things that we control 100 percent about our own economy and start acting on those things. >> steve: all right. great discussion today. panel, lee, mariannette and also brian mast, thank you all for joining us live. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: you bet. 14 minutes before the top of the hour, carley joins us news of another shock. >> carley: listen to this, steve and everyone out there. pfizer ceo announcing a fourth dose of the covid-19 vaccine is

4:55 am
help those folks out. they put the recipes and labels online and a way to donate. >> rachel: that brewery is not active right now. you said they are literally making molotov cocktails right now. do you plan to connect with them at some point later hopefully when this war is over? >> yeah. that would be absolutely fantastic. i know there is breweries throughout the country. excuse me, throughout the world that are doing the exact same thing. and can you get on facebook and see people live streaming them cooking their recipes as well. and it would be nice to get everybody together when this whole thing is over to kind of celebrate. >> rachel: what's been the reaction? people really wanting to buy this beer? >> yeah, it'sline absolutely crazy. we have only got 8 barrels of it which is not a lot in the beer world. we didn't know what to expect. we presold almost half of that at this point. the reaction that we have gotten from the public arranged here. >> rachel: yeah, well, let the viewers know you don't have a website. pick up, only.

5:01 am
looking for weakness from the united states and the biden administration has shown that weakness. >> fox news alert. russian forces carrying out a new round of deadly attacks near kyiv where it is 2:00 in the afternoon how to. video showing smoke from another strike. this one rocking an aviation plant a few hours ago. >> the drone footage shows the extent of the russian shelling on mariupol, one of the hardest-hit cities in ukrainian. new tributes emerge for the award-winning american journalist who was shot dead. >> we begin this hour live in kyiv. >> getting closer to kyiv. we have heard heavier explosions in the distance and we're following the tragic story from
5:02 am
yesterday of that american journalist who was killed just outside the city limits. the photojournalist who was with him describes what happened when he says they encountered russian troops. >> they started shooting at us. the driver turned around and they kept shooting. my friend renaud, he's been shot and left behind. >> white house national security adviser jake sullivan calling brent renaud's death, quote, horrifying. >> this is obviously shocking and horrifying. i will be consulting with my colleagues, we'll be consulting with the ukrainians to determine how this happened and then to measure and execute propose consequences. >> now to the southern city of mariupol where we are learning this pregnant mother pictured being carried out of a hospital bombed by russian forces passed away. tragic images that are getting worse. russian shelling is getting
5:03 am
heavier across this country. as we noted, even in the capitol of kyiv we are hearing consistent explosions from the air and from the ground. an apartment building was hit in the northern part of the city, killing at least two people and injuring 12 others. you can see firefighters climbing into the structure looking for survivors. this type of destruction will only get more common as russian forces get closer. we're getting new images where the american journalist was killed. the footage shows the ukrainians -- russian troops control at least 30% and the mayor says one-sixth of the residents remain there. that gets to the core of the issue. there are millions of civilians in kyiv as russian forces are moving in and expect the coverage to focus on the capitol city because the ukrainian people have seen the destruction in places like mariupol and they understand what the russian forces are capable of.
5:04 am
they are bracing for bloody days ahead. >> thank you for that report. we're listening to your report as we have new footage from drone footage over mariupol. we see new images of the destruction. we spoke this weekend. this war is different in coverage for you, for other journalists than other wars. there's no american forces to be embedded with. we were -- there is some surprise we don't see more -- by the way, you have done amazing work, especially what we saw from the eastern front of kyiv. it's surprising we don't see more from the actual battle. i was curious, are there ukrainian journalists embedded -- on the flip side, russian journalists -- is there coverage embedded with military units that is capable of getting closer to the fight? it just seems we see the
5:05 am
aftermath. it's interesting we don't see much of the fight. >> in the early days of the war the ukrainian military is careful about who they take to the front. the territorial defense, they were for accessible and we have been able to talk to them and travel with them. even as recently as last week you saw some footage from the front lines, gunfire going off as ukrainian forces try to push back the russian troops advancing on their city. on the russian side, the only embeds we have seen have been from chinese state media inside the bounds of the russian troops that are moving forward throughout different cities. when you think about the russian side, they are not going to let any objective international journalists alongside with them because they want to control the messages out of this invasion. it's part of the reason they are shutting down the media in russia and not allowing for free
5:06 am
press because they don't want people to know what they are doing. you hear stories of people who have family members in russia and say, my parents don't believe there's an invasion going on. the reality is russian state media is controlling the narrative and every other voice there does not really v much room to talk. >> that's right. i saw images of president zelensky in a hospital, it appeared, yesterday. he was presenting -- he was going and talking to the injured war fighters and he was, among other things, presenting them with medals. >> ukrainian president zelensky tried to keep the the morale high. he not only presented medals to soldiers injured, but he named hero cities, about 12 of them. this is a reference back to soviet-era time. he's trying to keep the ukrainian people together and
5:07 am
keep their spirits high. he has been pledging to stay in the capitol of kyiv and call >> the journey for them has gotten more treacherous. we had edward graham on this past weekend. he talked about things he's seeing. one of the things he talked about was the number of weather-related frostbite and injuries. how does the role of these punishing temperatures on the ability for these refugees to make this journey and also the kinds of things that those who are caring for them have to help them with? >> as many people leave these besieged towns, the temperatures are literally freezing. they have to not only get out of their homes, but they have to do
5:08 am
so amid very difficult weather conditions. there are cities across this country that no longer have electricity. they no longer have heating. we saw when we were in that besieged town outside the city limits, people were outside huddled around fires. it gives you a sense of, on top of the tragedy and death and destruction the civilians are facing, simple things like supplies and heating they don't have and they have to survive under these difficult conditions. >> thank you very much for the live report. >> some of the images we saw during his report, that infamous image of the woman who was about to give birth in maternity hospital that was bombed in mariupol on wednesday, she has
5:09 am
died and so did her baby. but there's more reporting, apparently when she realized she was losing her baby, the medics said she cried out to them, kill me now, because she didn't want to live without the baby. her father and her husband wound up going to the hospital to retrieve her body, which is unlike many other ukrainians whose bodies are being put in one of those mass graves. at least the family was able to claim the body >> >> it's a sad ending because a lot of people thought, seeing the image, she was going to be rescued and that that baby was going to live. what a terrible tragedy. >> absolutely. >> a little bit earlier steve had a fascinating interview with four military veteran members of congress. brian mast, mariannette miller-meeks among them. >> what you have seen out of russia is the ability for putin
5:10 am
to control the actions of the west and now china is looking at this in the exact same way. >> putin, xi jinping, the ayatollah have been looking for weakness from the united states and the biden administration has shown that weakness. >> there's this realignment taking place right now and part of that is russia and china becoming a bit closer, even though in the past they have -- there's been distrust between them. >> the headline regarding those two countries is the fact that reportedly -- fox news confirmed, russia asked china for military and economic assistance assistance. they need economic assistance because the sanctions, they need military stuff because they are running out of stuff. >> it's not a natural alliance between these two countries. there are experts who have been warning about the implications of so much of this is that they were going to become a bloc and
5:11 am
this is really going to be the aftermath we're going to deal with and have to grapple with the most after this war. >> the spector of china behind the scenes, calculating perhaps what they may do in taiwan, their potential alliance with russia is something we need to pay more attention to. adversary of the united states of america -- i think it's a fascinating development that russia is turning to china. from my understanding, historically in the run-up to the present moment, russia is the more technologically advanced military. russia is the bigger military and sells, in fact, technology and weaponry to china. now to see the role reversed, russia saying to china, will you sell us weaponry, might tell you
5:12 am
a little bit about how well this is going in ukrainian for russia. >> keep in mind there were stories out there that before the invasion, mr. xi said to mr. putin, don't have your invasion during my olympics, hold off until afterwards. what happened? a couple of days after the olympics concluded, boom, putin started. >> he didn't want anything to interfere with the ratings. turned out the ratings were pretty bad anyway, but certainly would have been worse had the invasion happened. again, putin is such a great villain? it's easy to make him that out to be the number one villain, but he really isn't. it is xi jinping. that's where who we need to keep our eye on. >> one country to the west of ukrainian is poland. the humanitarian crisis continues as ukrainians flee their homes for safety. >> major polish cities say they are running out of space for the
5:13 am
1.7 million refugees that fled to that country since russia's invasion began. >> alex hogan joins us live at the poland-ukrainian border. thanks for joining us. tell us -- they are running out of space. >> this massive warehouse was empty a couple of weeks ago. now it is filled with beds. there's simply not enough space. these people will soon board buses to go to other cities once they figure out where they want to go. but not everyone has that plan. not everyone knows where they could go and how long they will have to be here. the number of refugees in this warehouse is actually more than double the population of this entire town. it's not just border villages struggling to help those in need, over the weekend we visited small towns and large
5:14 am
cities. they were experiencing the same thing -- overcrowded train stations and refugee centers. the mayor of poland's largest cities say the crowds can not keep up. but here at the border we met one couple, they drove from berlin to drop off supplies and they met a family that they would take back with them to germany where they will stay with a host family. the mother matched with this family online. she brought her two kids, this is to keep her out of the shelter, but meeting strangers and living with them, they say, as lucky as she feels, it's very scary at the same time. >> excited to meet them. yes, but i'm scared -- sorry
5:15 am
>> it's, i'm sure, been a difficult journey for you and your kids. >> i want to save my children. >> i want to save my children. time and time again with all of the people that we speak with, that's the overwhelming reason that people have fled. many mothers tell me they wouldn't have left the country, they wouldn't have left their husbands, but the parents made the decision that it was worth risking everything, leaving everything to at least make sure these children are safe. volunteers have been doing an incredible job to make sure people here feel welcome and have what they need. unfortunately, the reality of what we're seeing across the country right now is there are not enough resources, despite the overwhelming humanitarian aid that we have seen descend on poland from around the world. guys. >> i have a quick question. we have been captivated by images where people flee their bags. they have little bags and they
5:16 am
have two. are people also there with their life savings in their purse or are they relying on the international banking community that when they get to another country, they will be able to get some of their money back or do they have everything they have got on them? >> yeah, so we're hearing some mixed answers on that one. of course we asked people what have you put in your bag, how could you fit your entire life in a backpack? some tried to bring cash and that's often a mistake because of the difficulty of the conversion here. people are advising refugees not to bring cash, to try to go to banks when they reach other countries. i was asking did you try to bring your most expensive valuables to try to sell them? they said no. when we were leaving, all we brought was warm clothes because we knew that's what we would need to survive until we get somewhere safe. >> that's right.

5:18 am
in a courtroom outburst smollett warn head may not be safe behind bars. >> i did not do this. i am not suicidal. if anything happens to me when i go in there, i did not do it to myself. >> smollett's brother calling the move to a psych ward, quote, outrageous. 72% of gen z and millennial workers say they regret leaving their jobs. while americans, particularly women, are embracing work conditions, remote and hybrid work could hinder their careers in the long term. interesting statistic there. those 72 probably going to head back into the workforce soon because the money ran out. >> they regret leaving their jobs but love sleeping sleet --

russia's space agency appeared to show russian leaving him behind. here to react, former astronaut and marine veteran lieutenant colonel andy allen. welcome to "fox & friends ". this seems like a movie plot. could this happen? >> theoretically, probably not. there's a lot of reasons why we explore space, with the economics of the technology development, or improving our lives. it's always been intertwined with politics, whether it be j.f.k. in the moon race and ronald reagan and star wars, the decision that we were going to rely on the russians for a space station and reliance on on access to space with russians, those were cooperative political decisions. at the working level, the people are wonderful. the engineers, the scientists, the trainers, the support folks, the astronauts, the cosmonauts.
5:25 am
i don't think it's affected at the working level and everybody is going to continue according to the plan. it's always hard to predict where the politics can take things. >> is this something that, you know, was ever thought about that this was a possibility that could happen when plans were made to have this cooperation with russia on a project of this scale? >> actually, we talked about it a lot. i was on some of the development of i guess the doctrine at the time. but it was a conscious political decision that this would be the era of cooperation and we made the decision that for 25 years it's worked extremely well. like i said, at the working level it's been fantastic. so this is kind of a new nuance that maybe 25 years ago wasn't so predictable as where we are today with the situation that we have, the political situation that we have with mr. putin.
5:26 am
>> why put out that video? and it seems outrageous -- you say the cooperation on the working level is good, but i'm surprised that that hasn't damaged that in some way. >> i'm sure there's some strain going on here and there and i'm sure that at the top level of the political appointees that are in the russian space agency, they are saying the kinds of things that they are being asked or told to say. again, if it goes down, there a plan in place to get three cosmonauts up to the space station in a few days and get people down, cosmonauts and american, mark will be coming back down with them is what i predict will happen. >> i'm sure his family is not going to be relieved until he steps foot back on earth. thanks for joining us this morning. >> great talking to you. thank you. bye bye.

>> we believe that china in fact was aware of before the invasion took place that vladimir putin was planning something. we also are watching closely to see the extent to which china actually does provide any form of support. >> you've got the president's national security adviser going to meet with the chinese counterpart today in rome as we learn russia is reportedly asking china for military and financial help in its invasion against ukraine. air force vet and south carolina senator lindsey graham. senator, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> ok, so the story is that russia is asking china, hey, we need money because the sanctions are hurting us and we need stuff because we have run out. what do you make of that? >> i think it's good news for
5:32 am
the good guys. jake sullivan, i think he's surprised china is helping. i'm not. there's two things going on i think are bad news for putin. he's having to declare virtual martial law at home. he closed down the internet. the boycott in russia is really working, so he's having a problem with his own people. now he's going to china to beg for help from them. so if we'll see this thing through, i think we'll be in good shape. we need to send the mig fighters. amy klobuchar said don't rule out that we will eventually send the migs into ukrainian. if we could send the fighters in, that would be a morale booster for the ukrainians and hurt putin. china will be all in. china is the equivalent of germany in the world war ii analogy and russia sort of like italy and the ukrainians are just awesome, is all i can say,
5:33 am
awesome people. >> they are awesome. senator, what do you make -- so jake sullivan is going to sit down with china today. he's going to say -- >> what could go wrong? >> he's going to say, we don't like the fact that you teamed up with russia. here's the thing. i'm sure you've seen stories that mr. xi, the president of china, feels like he's aligned himself with putin and now he's getting reputational damage because putin is blowing it. putin said, hey, i can take the country in two days. here we are more than two weeks later and it is not going well for him. do you think mr. xi, there is something to that, he regrets aligning himself with putin at this stage? >> not really, because they have no friends. i mean, the only problem is with putin that he's -- he doesn't have a problem with the fact that putin's murdering people on an industrial scale as a war criminal.
5:34 am
the problem he has it's taking so long. china is all in with russia. what i propose we do, if the chinese are helping arm russia and providing assistance to get around international sanctions, that we put secondary sanctions on china, that we go after anybody and everybody who tries to prop up the war criminal putin. if we don't do that, i think we're missing an opportunity to further isolate russia and finally in my lifetime, since trump left anyway, stand up to china. >> sure. sanctions against china would be tough because we have so much stuff from them. >> we're going to have to recalculate who we are in terms of our trading relationships. if russia is able to dismember the democracy in the ukraine, that's a death sentence for taiwan. xi is watching closely how much will we have, how much determination we have. the biden administration expected the ukrainians to fold
5:35 am
in about three or four days. they are surprised it's taken this long. i think ukrainians can win, victory for ukraine. what are we not doing? let's send in the migs, let's send in the soviet-era missile systems. let's increase the capability of the ukraine to defend itself and tell china, if you pick sides, and pick putin over world order, you're going to have a tough time trading in the free world. >> there was a missile strike near the u.s. consulate in the country of iraq yesterday. now iran says, yeah, those were ours. what are they doing? >> they are trying to probably be a proxy of russia. russia has got itself in a bad spot here. the ukrainian people are fighting like tigers, the russian people are beginning to become unruly. the only people they got to help is china.
5:36 am
if we put pressure on china, we can break that nexus. i would imagine that the russians probably told the irans it would be helpful to us if you would open up a new front -- iranians -- by attacking into iraq and make america wonder what's next. i want to open up a new front, i want to go hard on military assistance for ukraine. if there's use of chemical weapons, that's time for no fly zone. if we don't get ukrainian right vis-a-vis russia, that will be a death sentence for our friend in taiwan. >> what a tangled well. iran, iraq, china, russia. it's only monday. senator, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. >> 24 minutes before the top of the hour. gas prices soaring around the country, americans feeling the pinch when everybody is buying everything else, which is also
5:37 am
through the roof. madison allworth joins us live from new jersey with the pain at the pump. i can see the number behind you. it is a big one. >> more than we have ever paid for gas. national average today, $4.32. americans are really feeling it. aaa said that after $4, six out of every ten americans said they were going to be changing their driving habits because it's too expensive. those i have spoken to have said they will get their gas and they use the remaining budget for groceries because it's just so expensive. like you said, that's the reality we're dealing with. it's not just the gas prices that are up, inflation is up. we're at a 40-year high of 7.9%. only 18% of americans say that their wages kept up with the increased cost. you're not getting more from your job, we're at odds at
5:38 am
there. some states are considering temporarily removing the state gas tax or pushing for a pause on the federal gas tax. if that happens -- we're waiting to see if it will in these states -- it's a temporary solution. it could have a big impact on the federal budget and on the state budget. here's the thing -- even if you don't driving -- uber is adding a surge to their rides, anybody from 35 to 55 cents. all of this adding up to an expensive picture that many americans are struggling to afford. steve. >> madison, the only silver lining to what you just reported is you're in new jersey where they, by law, have to pump the gas for you. there is no self-service. so the price is high, but you don't have to get out of the car. >> that's right. you stay warm in the car. [laughter] >> but then you're broke. madison, thank you very much,

durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it. >> ukraine is our life. that's why people stood up to defend our country. today all of us are volunteers, all who protect ukraine, our kids' future. >> you've got the president of ukraine rallying his nation against russia in a video posted moments ago on social media. it comes as russian officials threaten to arrest corporate leaders of companies like mcdonald's and ibm if they criticize vladimir putin's
5:44 am
brutal invasion. >> "unfiltered" host dan bongino joins us. we have seen somewhat shockingly american corporations take a real stand, at least when it comes to russia. now it appears russia says you're going to pay the price, we're going to arrest some of your c.e.o.s and leaders in russia, along with your assets. >> this may be an popular opinion. i'm concerned about the violation of due process, which has never really existed in russia anyway. some of the tactics emulated here, guys. this isn't an argument we should just casually toss aside. putin is an international terrorist. can we all just accept that? as i have said, if the ukrainians stop fighting today there would be probably no ukraine. if putin stopped fighting today, there would be peace.
5:45 am
it's a one-side aggressor here. the thing about russia threatening to arrest heads of state in western corporations, they have no history of due process. they have no allegiance to law. i'll never forget asking for things like vehicle security on a motorcade and asking about things about the press and foreign military officers and others saying to me in form countries with history of oppression, that's not a problem here, we take care of that. the reason i bring it up, look at the bioresearch facility story. that was justifiable for the american media to be concerned about. are there bioresearch facilities in ukraine, do they have things that are dangerous? these are things we should be concerned about. what happened? you had this big tech government with fact checkers jumping all
5:46 am
over people here, threatening to take away their access to facebook and stuff, fact-checking them on these stories. these are the tactics that happen in russia. guys, like i said, i'm deeply concerned we're emulating some of the same tactics here. that story shouldn't be lost in all this. >> up with of the things going on in russia, putin has a stranglehold on information. there are people on the streets of moscow who actually believe that kyiv is full of nazis because that's what they were told. >> you just made my point. there are people in russia who don't even understand there's a war going on. there are people here also who still think the pfizer vaccine is 90% effective. there are people here, democrats, who think donald trump colluded with the russians. steve, putin is a blood thirsty tyrant who is a threat to the
5:47 am
civilized world, period. but why are we emulating the same darn tactics here? these guys with speak out on social media, but donald trump is still banned? i mean, misinformation asymmetry where putin knows things people don't. that's why he has the power he has and is still not doing terribly in poland -- those asymmetries happen in the united states -- these are real concerns. we should learn from what's happening. >> we're losing our moral authority when it comes to free speech and democracy and transparency. you're 100% right. >> the ability to question authority, it's what makes us different. >> dan bongino, thank you very much for joining us live.
5:48 am
>> thanks, dan. >> all right, if janice dean were joining us live, she would tell dan bongino it's going to be cold today in florida. >> it is cold in florida, dan bongino. we have freeze warnings. >> elliott -- >> we're expecting a baby boy. >> what's his name is >> his name is carson brady. we love tom brady. >> he's coming back. there's a baby on the way to celebrate that. let's take a look at temperatures. 36 in new york city. 38 cleveland. 30 cincinnati. 24-hour temperature change. we're going to get into the 50s today, which is great nudes. we could see the threat for severe storms for parts of texas and oklahoma, towards arkansas, louisiana. keep that in mind. you want to say hi to anybody? >> hi, gang. will, i don't see a picture of you, will. >> we need a picture of will.
5:49 am
>> i don't know what he does for a living. does he want to be an >> for >> >> [laughter] >> thank you. >> thank you, guys. >> all right. i like that guy. >> you're live in the building. you don't -- >> promise, never noticed it. the goat is back. clay travis reacts. is clay the goat? no, brady is the goat. tom brady announces he's coming back from a brief retirement. >> let's check with bill. >> 40 days and 40 nights at hole were too much, huh?

announcing he's not finished with football and he'll return to the bucs. here with more, clay travis. this is good. it's good for the nfl, good for football, good for everybody, right? >> look, will, first of all, you can tell i'm ready for spring break. so thank god we've got march madness to look forward to. i think tom brady, who has spent time in florida at the beach, decided he was not ready for retirement. how often does an athlete who is top five at his position, especially in football, decide to ride off into the sunset? that's where tom brady was right now. the whole way that he announced his retirement -- you remember the way it broke -- it didn't feel right. and brady has never -- almost immediately he started to question whether or not he was going to retire. even though the drop hit as the
5:55 am
ncaa tournament brackets were coming out yesterday, it didn't surprise me. i know people all over tampa were ecstatic. i'm excited. i imagine you are as well because brady is an iconic figure, it's hard to believe he was going to end in the method and manner in which he did. i don't know how his career is going to end, but riding into the sunset as a a top five quarterback, he was better in the second year with the bucs than the first year. so i'm not surprised he's going to come back. >> other teams in the nfc in general where i believe brady has won the super bowl every other year. might win it next year. this story is beyond absurdity. kyrie everybodying not allowed to play at home because he's not vaccinated. but he can go as a fan and he did. maskless.
5:56 am
hanging out. courtside tickets of course. hanging out with his teammates. everyone understands how ridiculous this is. >> covid policies. you guys are in new york city right now. mayor eric adams has to do something to rectify the absurdity we are dealing with. it just gets more ridiculous. will, saturday night he was at the duke-virginia tech game. on sunday he goes and watches the nicks and the nets play courtside as a fan. he can have popcorn, he can have a drink, high-five his teammates, he can go into the locker room with them. if he were a visiting player, he would be able to play in these games. but because he is living in new york city and the absurd covid rules, it's the science -- by the way, where is dr. fauci? i would love to see this guy. they are hiding that smurf somewhere.
5:57 am
i don't know where he is. but the reality is we are all over these absurd rules. kyrie irving in new york city in particular is exposing the hypocrisy of the party. >> lebron james called it out. >> here's kevin durant saying this is beyond stupid. >> somebody is trying to make a statement, to flex their authority. it doesn't make sense. unvaxed people in the building already. we've got a guy who can come into the building. are they fearing our safety? i don't get it. we're all confused. pretty much everybody in the world is confused at this point. early on in the season people didn't understand what was going on. now it's stupid. hopefully -- you've got to figure this out. >> in an expert exhibition of hosting, i have saved you one minute to go all in on your anger over tennessee in the
5:58 am
bracket. you can share with the nation now exactly how upset you are that tennessee is a three seed. >> thank you, will. look, this is indefensible. if you are a duke blue devil fan, you have no business being a two seed this was such a bad seeding to give tennessee a three instead of a two, the only possible way this could happen is in kamala harris is in charge of ncaa seeding because i can't imagine anybody else, will, doing a worse job. it has to be kamala harris's fault. she screws up everything else. i know she's the reason that tennessee ended up not getting the two or maybe even the one they may have deserved over baylor if you look at the numbers. i might add well blame kamala.
5:59 am
she screws up everything else. >> he only wants to talk about tennessee seeding in the ncaa tournament. >> we're going to win the national championship this year. we're going to get it done. >> the real ut is a six seed. i'm not upset about it. let it burn a little bit. you'll have the true color of burnt orange and the real ut, texas longhorns. >> well played. >> what's clicking -- i'm not sure how we say it -- what's clicking on out kick. see? >> absolutely >> the u.n. is saying more than 2.7 million ukrainians fled their homes. the red cross is working to provide resources to ukraine, as well as helping families to
6:00 am
evacuate. >> fox corporation helped to raise more than $6 million to support the red cross's effort. you can help too by making a donation. go to redcross.org/foxforward. the money goes right to the international red cross. >> wonderful. lots of good organizations, including samaritan first and others. make sure you're >> bill: good morning vladimir putin testing boundaries of nato. russia striking the ukrainian base. that escalation threat offing to draw on the alliance. we shall see in time if that's the way we go. good morning, back to it we go i'm bill hemmer. dana got some time off. >> thank you for being with us. the all the son that base in western ukraine killing at least 35 people. the u.s. and other countries have used the base to train ukrainian forces.
