last topic fascinating. folks in ukraine are growing up very, very quickly. in the united states we have had been trapped in youth too long be mass resignation, i'm going to do something that i like to do real life. >> carley: good two hours. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> stuck in ukraine. >> lives are getting lost. >> todd: a defiant president zelenskyy says his country will win the war. >> we need to stay and fight in order to reach the peace ukrainians deserve. >> it appears that russia, once again, hit civilians in apartment buildings. [explosion] >> nato forces are growing the u.n. secretary general is warning of a nuclear war. >> the prospect of a nuclear

conflict is a possibility. >> what are the consequences for china if they do aid china. >> in terms of what those specifics look like, we would coordinate with our partners and allies. >> what you see is a number of countries testing america and freedom. >> they see weakness in the white house. ♪ >> brian: all at once, too. fox news alert, a brutal assault continues in ukraine this morning with russia pushing a scorched earth offensive, despite ongoing diplomatic talks between the two nations. >> meanwhile the united nations warnings nuclear war is quote within the realm of possibility as nato kicks off cold response military exercises show of force near norway. >> we go live to kyiv where jonathan hunt has update on the ground. good morning, jonathan. >> rachel, brian, steve good morning to all of you. peace talks are due to get

underway again any moment now between the russian and ukrainian side there was a small amount of progress made yesterday. we hope there may be more today. but ahead of those talks, russia kept up its bombardment of cities across ukraine, including the capital kyiv. just before dawn, several explosions, thundered across the city center heard right in the center of kyiv itself. the targets again appeared to be civilians, apartment buildings were among the targets hit. we are awaiting confirmation on the numbers of casualties. you will remember, of course, it was a similar similar story yesterday around the early morning in kyiv that missiles slammed into the city. the air defense systems are operating. they shot down some of those missiles but clearly not all of them and, again, civilian

casualties continue to mount. vladimir kelley chit co-former boxing champion. mayor of kyiv he traveled to one of those sites yesterday and published this on his instagram account. look here. >> that's what the russian's war against the civilians look like. >> destroyed buildings, destroyed infrastructure. city buses got hit by the rockets. lives are getting lost. that's the war that rush started this is in southern ukraine and as you can sees a did you go block by block, street by street, they have been reduced to little more than rubble.

now, guy, we were also hearing this morning that the leaders of poland, the czech republic and slovenia, will travel to the ukrainian capital kyiv later today. that will be an extraordinary act and an extraordinary show of public support from three european leaders. and, remember, each of those nations is a member of nato. so, three nato country leaders are planning on standing in the center of kyiv later today alongside president zelenskyy in what will be a quite remarkable show of nato support. back to you guys. >> steve: absolutely bold. john thanks i have got a question for you. you are referring to the talks going on between the russians and also the ukrainians. they stopped yesterday for what they called a technical pause. i'm wondering if you have any idea what the technical pause

was. and was some forward motion actually made? >> yeah. you hear a technical pause in relation to a video conference which is what these talks were and you think oh that's a technical pause in relations it's not it means they were going away to talk about details. that is a glimmer of hope, steve. in the sentence that they wants to get the language right as they move forward. president zelenskyy himself said that there was some forward progress, but it might be on small detail. the big picture obviously is hard to get to here because that involves from the ukrainian side at least they say, a complete cessation of hostilities and a withdrawal of russian forces. clearly, steve, we are a long, long way from that. >> steve: yeah. >> brian: i saw some of the comments, more optimistic from zelenskyy than before. i know leadership there is a

method to it. but he says the enemy is confused. their soldiers for this. their officers are aware of this. they flee the battlefield. they are abandoning their equipment. there are reports that russians are running out of people, are running out of armament. that's why they are calling on belarus and calling on syria. is there a sense of strategy of as brutal as it is, that there could be an end in sight because russia is running out of things. >> i don't know about an end in sight, brian. but very clearly this has been a much more difficult war for the russians than they expected. i don't think anybody doubts that president vladimir putin and the russian forces, the generals believe that they would roll into ukraine, roll into kyiv, remove the government of president zelenskyy and install their own puppet government within matter of days. clearly that hasn't happened. the ukrainians are fighting tooth and nail for every inch of this territory. clearly they are causing at love

russian casualties. clearly they're damaging a lot of russian equipment. and i think that is why you are seeing a more intense air campaign now from the russians because the simple fact is they are stalled to a large extent on the ground in taking far heavier losses than they expected, brian. >> brian: hey, jonathan, have you seen a ukrainian jet? have you seen a fighter jet? >> here in lviv we have not seen any fighter jets. what we heard very clearly just a couple of days ago, brian, were missiles coming in from russia. they landed about 30 miles away did. a vast amount of damage to the military base which is just about 15 miles from the poland border. so we have heard those. we have not seen any jets whether they be ukrainian or russian here in lviv. everybody here, i think in lviv expects the war to come a lot closer at some point but at this

point no, brian, we have not. >> steve: all right. >> rachel: thank you, jonathan. >> brian: great job. >> steve: yesterday, we were talking about how the story was that russia had reached out to china and said hey, we need help. although the specifics were very vague. what kind of help? according to the hill, what russia was asking for, is they said we need mres, the guys are hungry. they have got nothing. that follows with the stories where these russian soldiers in ukraine are breaking into grocery stores just indiscriminately taking what they need. also cbs says apparently the russians asked for drones and cash because apparently the sanctions are working so jed jake sullivan had that seven hour intense meeting with china. and he made it very clear do not help russia. and he said according to two administration officials who spoke to the associated press, we shared your intel partners

that we know for a fact that china signaled to russia they would provide military help. so what we said is hey, we're on to you. if you do it, you're going to come to regret it china, after the meeting. issued a statement that ukraine has reached the stage that the chinese side did not want to see but did not condemn russia. so it sounds like the russians, the chinese obviously said okay, we will give you stuff. buff now they are thinking twice about it because nobody in the administration says they actually gave them anything. >> rachel: they are thinking twice about it talks seven hours. intense. this summit was called long before. >> steve: november. >> rachel: called in november long before this incursion, this war. there is the front and center conversation this relationship between china and russia.

brian, what really alarms me is it seems like it's just dawned on this administration that the circumstances surrounding all of this and the relationships that we have had with both countries over the last few years we know china is our number one threat. why have we done everything we could to bring these two together? >> brian: china looks -- 100 percent right. some of the statements come out china should know there would be consequences to their relationship with russia. no kidding. reestablished their relationship with russia. put it in black and white they signed it before the olympics, agreed to start after the olympics. there is no way you are going to separated these two. you have to deal with them as they're. china has two things. one thing that benefits china is we are not focusing on them, we are focusing on europe. happy about that. what they are not happy about is europe is unified in a way they didn't think was possible any longer. they look at us as tired republics whose time has passed. rhetoric come out to the people that's how they continue to treat us.

they take the dialogue and sometimes the tension between the parties and they say america is coming apart at the seams. they think every day is january 6th. it clearly is not. and what they are seeing though also is that sweden, norway and finland now see an urgency to bond not only with the european union but with nato. they don't need that they don't need a revitalization of europe getting -- taking carol of their own defense, and this way the u.s. can pivot stronger toward china. i just don't think this is the administration to lay out the guidelines and the consequences for their action. they have not been tough publicly. they have been humiliated privately. the readout from the national newspaper is all about american weakness and it is indeed our fault. jen psaki talked about what jake sullivan is telling china tell me if this makes you feel better. >> what are the consequences for china if they do aid russia? >> well, i'm not going to get

into specific consequences. i think what we have conveyed and what was conveyed by our national security adviser in this meeting is that should they provide military or other assistance, of course, violates sanctions or supports the war effort, that there will be significant consequences. but in terms of what those specifics look like, we would coordinate with our partners and al thrice make that determination. >> jake sullivan certainly communicated there would be consequences. >> yes, as we have also said publicly a number of times. >> steve: there would be consequences if china does help russia. it's interesting china says the stories russia asked for help that ♪ true. that is disinformation from the united states. >> rachel: yeah. well senator marco rubio says that a number of countries, it's not just china, it's not just russia but many countries that we should be worried about are seeing this complacency, are feeling the weakness of this administration and they are going to make a move.

listen. >> almost all of human history authoritarianism. his tri didn't end with the soviet union. authoritarians in charge of pretty powerful countries like russia and china and now they have nuclear weapons like north korea and try to get them in iran. what you are seeing here is a number of countries testing america, testing freedom. they view this as their opportunity right now to expand for a lot of different reasons. they see weakness in the white house. they see distractions and complacency in the west. >> brian: yeah, i mean, there is no doubt about it. if you have -- there is so much at stake with this conflict in particular. if you look at the map, and you see what russia has gained, which is not compared to what they wanted, if they're able to -- if these talks are successful, the great news is the killing and destruction stops. but if they are -- if they do end now, russia could honestly sit there and take a look at the map and take a look at what we have got. i sustained the donbas regions. i hold on crimea not moving it take a piece of kharkiv two

provinces on the right. that area around chernobyl we will hold on to that little by little creep up. by the way the stuff they are already taken close toe des, is a tan the majority of the natural resources of the country, coal, iron and that's oil. as well as wheat. they were pretty substantial in terms of wheat production. no idea if they are going to be able to fertilize and get things out in march like they are supposed to. i think there is so much at stake here. people are caught up with now. if we allow this thing to end, with putin getting what he wants, he doesn't care about dead botedz. he doesn't care about killing civilians and the hague court. in three years going to be back with georgia. two years back with estonia, latvia and lithuania, and combine that with china. we are going knob a whole lot of hurt this world will be if we don't-if we don't put him on his back now. >> rachel: if you look at that map and the areas that have say could end up in peace agreement that's true. that's why we should have never

provoked them. they made very clear there was a red line. the red line was a neutrality for ukraine. that they could not enter nato. in the end if they get this peace agreement. in the end, that's probably going to end up being the case anyway. i get you that one of the conditions will have to be that ukraine, you know, promised to remain knew trap. will not be part of nato. >> brian: you can never give into what russia wants other nations to do. they are going to decide go into nato and go into the european union when they are a european society that wants that? >> rachel: we have a monroe doctrine and i think we would be very concerned about this kind of action in our hemisphere. i think he said keep it neutral. and in the end, probably ukraine is going to lose more land because of this. again, the main problem here as you see, and. >> brian: vladimir putin. >> rachel: actually, the main problem is still china. now we have created a bigger block. china and russia together.

this is why our policy makers aren't thinking long term. >> steve: right. >> rachel: provoking this war has brought our two enemies. >> brian: we did not provoke the war. they provoked war. ains. >> rachel: they had a red line. >> brian: they can't make a red line in other countries, rachel. >> rachel: this is the fate of the geography of ukraine they could have remained a free country and could have armed them. >> brian: do you understand russia got their way. they lost their stooge in an election. the minute they lost their stooge in an election it nothing to do with us, they took crimea and the two donbas regions. and said going to do more unless you put our guy back. not only put your guy back have more elections and then zelenskyy beats and he established himself with 7 o% of the vote. why should a democracy give up because vladimir putin is a lunatic. >> rachel: it's a reality it's realism. >> brian: zelenskyy is a real person too. and so are the people of

ukraine. >> rachel: you can feel very bad to what is happening to the people of ukraine and you also say this was a preventable war in the end. by the way in the two weeks leading up to the war when we kept saying they are going to come in. they are going to come in. why are the peace talks happening now after this country has been disseminated and millions of people. >> brian: there were tons of talks. they weren't sincere in any of those their talks. talks with macron and zelenskyy. how many talks did biden have with? >> rachel: my point is i think our diplomats have been -- their diplomacy has been anemic in this situation that's my view. >> brian: putin's fault, period. >> steve: what is happening in the vacuum we saw a lot of that red area, the town of kherson which they have run over. and so what they are doing is now they are trying to establish these areas as break away republics. >> rachel: unfortunate. >> steve: around the edges a bunch of break away republics

the question is what does the new ukraine look like? >> brian: we will see or if russia continues to be bled drier a bleeding ulcer which happened to napoleon in the same area britain did to them. they cannot sustain this attack without china's help. the goal should be you bleed this blight on the world dry, let vladimir putin rule over a diminished republic with a military that's been exposed as inept and antiquated and that's why it's so important for the west, not america, the west to prevail in this battle because the worst is yet to come if he survives. >> rachel: don't worry because there was a tiktok summit, brian. >> brian: i heard. >> rachel: there was a tiktok summit at the white house the latest attempt from biden to buck the blame as inflation and gas prices go sky high. ♪ at booking.com,

raised $3 million there were 18 donors at the hotel washington. for people showed up virtually. he raised $3 million. earlier in the day, at the national league of cities conference, what he did was he essentially previewed what we're going to be hearing in the run-up to the midterms. and that is i know for a fact that the prices are killing you. but you can't blame me, of course, he can no longer blame donald trump because he has been in office more than a year. so who he is going to blame? listen to this preview of november. >> despite the progress we have made, we know that families are still struggling with higher prices. i grew up in a family where the price of gas went up at the pump, the gas station, we talked about it at the kitchen table. let's be absolutely clear about why prices are high now. they are high for two reasons, one was covid and now, second big reason for inflation is

vladimir putin. and gas prices. not a joke. we have seen the price of gas go up over a dollar just since he put his troops on the border. on the border of ukraine. the world took notice. the market anticipated, prices went up. and then putin invaded. make no mistake, the current spike in gas prices largely the fault of vladimir putin. it has nothing to do with the american rescue plan. >> steve: don't blame me, blame putin. blame covid. >> rachel: is he so convinced that this is the message that they are going to go with they need to also convince young people. and so what the white house did in a very bizarre but probably effective summit was a tiktok summit. they brought in all these influencers. >> steve: a big zoom. >> rachel: a big zoom call. they represent like half -- like a billion, you know, users. these kids have these massive followings, and they have told

them listen, we just want to tell you, it's putin. it's putin, it's putin. it's a little bit of covid and it's putin. and so here's what one of the tiktok stars said about it. >> why is gas so expensive and gas inflationary four time decade high? i had the opportunity to ask the white house why gas down the street is $7 and here's what they said. the obvious reason we are getting out of a two-year pandemic when use goes up, price goes up. predominantly about ukraine and russia. how does that relate? russia is one of the top three producers of oil and actually their number one revenue source. now with putin starting this horrific fight between ukraine and russia, nobody wants to work with him and international trade. >> rachel: how is our white house any better than russia in spewing out. basically using useful idiots to spew out lies? >> brian: the president is a democrat and he is trying to save the midterms so what he wants to do get the whole 18 to

24s or, you know, maybe we will get those 16-year-olds to vote which i think was an aspiration of the west coast to go their direction. so by giving the attention and looking at 10 million followers that they have and it's a lot. it's a savvy move. they're compliant. they are saying okay, the white house called me, nobody else called me, i will go with it because i don't think they really tiktokers i haven't seen their operation. i don't know if they have a news verification system. so i'm pretty sure that those jump cuts were not done by their newsroom. so that's a good first serve. sooner or later the tiktokers will realize they're being used by the white house. but it was a savvy move. but the bottom line is, u.s. oil production is down 10%. pushing up prices enriching and emboldening vladimir putin. unlike the russian hoax as jim banks said. putin's maligned influence on our energy sector is real and deserves further investigation. what he means by maligned influence. they are starting to push janet

yell ton find out if vladimir putin has been supporting the green effort to green ouring economy, specifically to stop fracking so he can have more control over the marketplace and over the american public and the west in the process. guess where the prime minister of england is going today? he is going to visit saudi arabia in person and the united arab emirates asking them, begging them to produce more oil. you would think it he would call us up and say produce more oil. you have more than saudi arabia. but he knows that would be fruitless. >> steve: joe biden said gas has gone up $1 since putin invaded. that's probably true. but what joe biden doesn't say is gas ran up $1 on my watch before the invasion. and while he can go ahead and blame covid ass well, keep in mind, he ran on i'm joe biden and i'm going to fix the covid pandemic. okay. we are coming out of pandemic. di fix it?

>> brian: no. >> steve: gas station with 5.04 right there? does that look like things are fixed? nancy pelosi told the president they need a better message the polls show that voters blame joe biden and the democrats high fries when it comes to food and gas. that he was the best they can do is blame putin. i think people are on to them. >> rachel: yeah. the american people aren't as dumb as they think they are. the polls show that american people aren't buying putin as the blame. maybe tiktok users will make a difference. >> brian: i will get an account soon. russian portions are taken aim at some of the most vulnerable institutions in ukraine. medical facilities. do you believe this in the ukraine born doctor who traveled back to lviv amid the invasion joins us live with the horror she witnessed. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: try hypnosis... or... quit cold turkey.

despite irina is traveling back to her native country to help. she joins us live from lviv. doctor good afternoon to you over there. >> good afternoon. >> steve: so you have a unique perspective. you were working in immediately to. your mother is ukrainian. your father is russian. so i'm sure from your family you've had different ideas of what is happening there. >> yes. we were -- at the time the war started, me and my husband and my children were in immediately new zealand: scholarship and ban the russia invaded, i took a sabbatical, i couldn't work for the first nine days and then i was basically pulling out 22 to

24-hour shifts on the phone trying to coordinate the efforts of humanitarian aid across europe and countries. then i realized that i couldn't really i wouldn't really be able to forgive myself if i were not on the ground continuing the work helping my people. so we as a family literally within an hour bought our tickets and flew back. i left my children and my husband in the netherlands since he is dutch. and he is devastated about me being here. poland and cross the border to ukraine. >> steve: right. you feel you have got to too it here's the problem, doctor, with the humanitarian aid you are trying to get to the people you need it, that invariably is what is being targeted by the russians. not only have they targeted hospitals and they have killed people in hospitals but the

supply lines as well. you are trying to get aid to the hospitals and people who need it. when you are doing that, you are a target. >> yes. and it's a cowardly politics of russian army. they are targeting the most vulnerable, the children, the hospitals, everyday we get reports about the hospital being destroyed. irpin hospital was completely bombed and we had to evacuate children and women and every corridor agreed that the peace talks get shut down straight away. we are aware of that but we wouldn't stop trying because the supplies are running really short in those surrounded areas. >> steve: that's right. i understand you are getting calls from people at hospitals throughout the country and they say you have got this stuff. we need that stuff. and your heart must break because it's like you have got it but you don't know if you can get it to them. >> i can tell you there are a

ukraine. they are destroying the buildings, my house been completely destroyed in kyiv. i just saw it on twitter. the flames top of the building. and every day the images can literally break your heart. because this is the in. they are there for the kill. they are not there to what they say basically save us from some kind of an millimeter. we see how desperate they are to just destroy everything, everywhere they go. >> steve: we know you are a target. you know you have left your family behind to do what you feel is right. doctor, thank you very much for joining us and please stay safe. >> thank you. >> steve: 19 minutes before the top of the hour. still ahead. up and up. new fears prices for everyday

>> he is 110% wrong. the day he took office. he signed an executive order attacking american fossil fuel industry. he shut down the pipeline from canada to the united states. he turned over -- i mean it was an attack on the whole industry. the oil industry. the question people ask why are we buying from russia? why are we buying from opec? we have transferring wealth from north america to europe, russia actually and opec and now they want to turn on iran. they want to turn on venezuela, which is a subsidiary of russia. i mean, nobody can really understand why we're not developing the oil resources in north america. alaska has a pipeline, 2 millio. we are only shipping 400,000.

>> brian: pump more out of the pipelines that exist they didn't stop. so you say right now 11 and a half million barrels of oil a year. >> a day. a day. and under the last year of donald trump -- of president trump we were doing almost 13 and a half. >> brian: what can we do? >> i had the alberta commission the energy commission down in my office last friday. north america could probably do 15 million barrels a day, become energy independent. why do we have to depend on opec? why do we have to depend on russia and venezuela and foreign sources? it energy independent and could be energy independent and that's -- if president biden got up and said we are going to be energy independent for north america, i think the price of oil over the next 90 days.

>> brian: john, you are in the business. for us not in the business he says well, it's a global market, we are just one entitiy and goes into a big market and that's how the price effects. what we do won't help. that's not true. a lot of it is mental. in other words, when we -- when putin entered ukraine it isn't that exxon mobil got up one morning and said putin entered into ukraine it's raised the prices. it's the professional traders that create and went from 105 to 110 went up to 127. it suspects exxon mobil or conoco phillips that's is to blame. they are just producing every day and supplying the world. the fact is the professional traders that play ping-pong with each other and creating those

prices. >> brian: you saw diverse from media to refineries and also supermarkets, people are really distressed when they're going shopping now. what can you tell them in terms of where inflation is heading and look where sue at the in six months and six weeks? >> brian, it's going to get much worse. i have seen price increases coming through for the month of march. i have seen them coming through for april and may. between price increases and shrinkflation where it used to be 32 ounces now it's going to be 28 ounces, it's anywhere from a 12 to a 20% increase in food prices. and my recommendation to the people nationwide is, if you have favorite products, buy them, put them in your cupboard. if it's 12 to 24% over the next three months where can you get a better return on investment than your food. >> brian: maybe resell them. john, thank you so much. this is all preventable.

we could have done something about it john, thanks so much. >> thank you so much. >> brian: great to see you from. making sweaters and shoes to making war time gear how production plants across ukraine have pivoted to help the fight against russian forces. that story next. protects you from a lot... of that. armor all. minimum effort. maximum protection. 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. doug blows a whistle.

>> carley: thank you. as the war wages on plants that once made sweaters and shoes are now pivoting to make war time gear that includes one of ukraine's largest foot wear brands ditched its spring and summer line to manufacture army boots instead. alena, the ceo joins me now. alena, thank you for joining me. how does this come about? you have a plant in kyiv and you started getting army boots from who, from the military or from individual soldiers? hi, everyone, i'm very happy to share this story with all your audience. the story happened, it was around seventh day of work and we started getting individual requests from territorial defenses and from military that they are lack of shoes of army

boots my mother runs the factory and she initiated to make a project and to unite a few factories because,ing we are a fashion foot wear brand. we never did army boots. so we did not have models to produce but we gathered -- one had it souls. we started producing army boots. we made a call to action to gather the nations, some people and to produce more. because the request there were hundreds of requests. and so we made this initiated project. right now we will produce 1300 pairs of army boots. we already sent to different parts of ukraine 750 pair of

boots. and that's how we we will survive. instead of fashion foot wear now we are prosecuting army boots. >> rachel: it's amazing. enough to, one of your plants in kyiv are your workers working there? >> our plant -- our factory is not in kyiv. it's not far from, yes. but our city, our town is under bomb attacks from the soviet war. we have got around 7 bombs. working all the time. i would love to say huge thank you to all of our employees. it's hard to imagine how life has changed. >> rachel: yes. >> they work. they are hiding in a bomb shelter in the factory then they dodge back to work. so, this is how it works right

now. >> rachel: alina, thank you so much. we heard the feedback they are very comfortable. good for you and continued success with this wonderful project. alina kachor ovskaceo of ukraine's foot wear company. >> thank you. >> rachel: the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ [explosion] >> brian: russia pushing a scorched earth offensive in ukraine this morning. >> the russia's war against civilians. >> steve: meanwhile the united nations warns nuclear war is, quote, within the realm of possibility. >> furthest can a labor relation of the work stresses all of humanity. >> three nato country leaders are planning on standing in the center of kyiv later today. that will be an extraordinary act. [explosion. >> todd: a defiant president zelenskyy says his country will win the war. >> we need to stand strong and

fight in order to win and reach the peace ukrainians deserve. >> president biden passing the buck. >> current spike in gas prices largely fall on vladimir putin. >> this is not about blame at this point. that's not what people care about. they want to know how we are going to get out of this. ♪ >> it is 1:00 in the afternoon in ukraine on this tuesday, march 15th, 2022. beware the ides of march and a fox news alert. a brutal assault continues in ukraine this afternoon with russia pushing a scorched earth defensive despite ongoing diplomatic talks between the two countries. >> rachel: the united nations warns nuclear war is within the realm of possibility as nato kicks off massive cold response military exercises in norway. and ukrainians are fleeing for safety anywhere they can find it the national organization for migration saying this morning 3 million ukrainians have left

the country since the start of the war. >> brian: right. and the leaders of poland, check republic and slow vein i can't travel to kyiv to stand with president zelenskyy in a show of support. how great is that? we go live to lviv where jonathan hunt has all the breaking updates on the ground. anything new? >> brian, steve, rachel, what we do know the leaders of poland, the czech republic and slovenia on their way right now to the ukrainian capital of kyiv, brian. that will be a -- quite extraordinary and in their words unequivocal show of support for president zelenskyy and the ukrainian people. remember, all three of those countries are nato members. the significance of nato leaders standing in kyiv, when it is under russian become bombardment cannot be overestimated. that bombardment continued, of course, just around dawn today. half a dozen or so explosions

were heard echoing across the capital of kyiv. the target once again included apartment buildings where civilians were were killed and injured. we are awaiting confirmation of the exact casualty figures from today's strikes. of course, we saw a similar scene yesterday morning right around the same time when the bombs started falling once again on the capital kyiv. sending people scurrying for cover as they have done day after day during this ongoing and brutal war. vladimir chich co-brother of the mayor of kyiv toured one of the damaged sites after the hit. here is what he had to say watch here. that's what russian war looks like.

destroyed infrastructure, city buses got hit by rocket. lives are getting lost. that's the war that russia started. >> and we are seeing in ukrainian village after village, town after town, city after city, this scorched earth policy of the russian forces reducing streets, buildings, block after block to nothing more than rubble. now, peace talks are due to get underway again today there was a pause, what they call a tech neck pause yesterday for both sides ukrainian and russian delegations to go away and work on the details of wording that provides a glimmer of hope steve, rachel and brian, we will see what today brings. obviously everybody hopes for a major breakthrough. frankly it looks like we are a long way from that. but maybe, maybe there will be a small amount of progress. steve, rachel, brian? >> brian: jonathan, i know they

are great at blowing up apartment buildings and buses and shooting at civilians. is there any sign that the russians have shown that they want to get out of their vehicles and try to take over a city block by block, for example, in kyiv or other major cities? >> certainly not in kyiv. they remain the ground troops stalled on the outskirts of kyiv, brian. in other stiffs we have seen them getting out of the tanks, getting out of the armored personnel carriers and on the streets down in the southern city of kherson, for instance, which they took last week, we have seen that but, again, brian, the extraordinary will of the ukrainian people we have seen again and again that those troops while they are on the streets are being confronted by ordinary ukrainians who are armed with nothing more than the ukrainian flag. walking up to these troops, shouting at them to go honestly, to leave ukraine.

so the defiance of the ukrainian people really has been something to witness here and it continues. those who are armed with weapons and those who are armed with nothing more than their national flag, brian. >> steve: sure. hey, john thanks you mentioned at the top that the prime minister of the czech republic, slovenia and poland are traveling to the kyiv today. apparently they are coming on the train. are they putting word out so that the russians don't bomb the train because that would be an international incident? i'm just worried about their safety getting there. >> it's a simple show of defiance and support by the leaders of these three nato countries, poland, the czech republic and slow screen i can't. they are making public. how they are getting to kyiv they fully intend their visit to be entirely public in their words, steve, unequivocal show

of support for the ukrainian government and it really is quite extraordinary ability by three nato leaders and obviously if they were to attack them in any way whatsoever, that would take this war to entirely new level, steve. >> rachel: jonathan, i read a report, actually it was the translation from an address that zelenskyy gave where he said -- he was speaking directly to russian soldiers saying, listen, we hear your conversations in the intercepts and your phone calls. we hear you talking to your family. your heart is not in this. surrender do you get a sense about that at all from any of the russian troops or any idea about that? because, as you mentioned, some of the ukrainians are confronting these soldiers, i saw a video of elderly couple doing that and the russian soldiers sort of walking away in shame. >> yeah. you certainly get a sense, rachel and i think you make a

very good point. that their heart does not seem to be in it for some of these russian soldiers. when we have seen those confrontations with extraordinary ukrainians, they are not firing at them. they seem to retreat in large part. i have seen some of those russian soldiers firing into the air. but that's the limit of the action they have taken. on the other hand, the russian forces keep coming. this, remember, is a huge army. a huge military power. so while we can talk about morale problems among the russian soldiers, remember, this is an army that will just keep coming and coming as vladimir putin directs them to do so. >> brian: if they had so many soldiers why are they begging the syrians and belarus to get in? there is a bit of a contradiction there, right? >> well, yeah. they want more, obviously. when you are involved in a war like this, which is a war of attrition now. and you are taking a lot of casualties, you want to bring in

everybody you can. and the russians clearly feel they can call in favors from fighters such as the syrian fighters. such as the chechens. they want all the manpower they can get. and they clearly, brian, need all the manpower they can get. >> brian: all right you, jonathan, stay safe. 8 minutes after the hour. bring in brett velicovich live in ukraine just trying to help out more stranded americans and assess the situation. brett iknew help needed. >> project dynamo successfully completed to evacuate americans, there are hundreds of americans still trapped in ukraine that don't know what to do or how to get out of the country, the situation on the ground is changing rapidly and the humanitarian crisis from the ground perspective, brian, is so much worse than i could have ever imagined. the words don't describe it level of need exceeds the level of penal around the world. you can't fully grasp it until

you are on the ground and actually staring refugees in the eyes and get a glimpse of the horrors they experienced. many cases no electricity no, heating, no food, no water. people are literally melting snow to drink water or drinking out of a sewer. many gas stations are not opened. many supplies limited homes looted by russian troops when they're unoccupied. hospitals destroyed by airstrikes. and it's getting harder and harder frankly for groups like project dynamo to come in there because russia is exacerbating humanitarian catastrophe around the country. targeting civilians along the evacuation routes. people are afraid to move. as a result the dynamo team is having to go deeper and deeper into the country as russia takes mortar rain and getting more dangerous frankly for us as the risk continues to elevate. >> steve: i'm glad you mentioned the humanitarian evacuation roots because, you know, we hear in the international press okay there are going to be six humanitarian corridors today russia and ukraine have agreed to it and then an hour into it,

next thing you know, we discovered that apparently russia has land mined the route out of town or they are bombing the buses. so you can't trust the russians. >> well, we are seeing that out front. the military insists it is not targeting civilians but the reality is that's not true. they are bombing evacuation routes and killing civilians just trying to flee mounting from russian strikes residential areas. we have dealt with a case just recently where literally we have an individual who is trapped, surrounded by russians and he is, you know, very, very concerned that, you know, he won't be able to get out of that area quickly because the russians have basically surrounded him. so got a very, very dangerous situation off the board and we are doing everything we can to help out. >> rachel: what kind of time frame are you looking at here that you have to rescue these people? you are talking about people who say don't have electricity. we know how brutal these temperatures are. they are not getting food. i also heard that they from

doctors that they are coming in with massive stomach issues when they actually finally do get out because, obviously, these potable water issues. how much time do those who are trapped in this city have to survive under so much pressure? >> unfortunately they tonight have a lot of time. they need to get out. many people stays stayed when they thought it would be okay. we had a situation where a woman in kharkiv that we helped evacuate, she was living out in the woods with her family. she didn't think that any of the artillery strikes would hit her because she shout the russians would go through and clear the city. then the artillery strikes came. we had another individual where he wanted to stay with his wife. and his neighbor went out to get water. couldn't get water and he was shot in the head by the russians. that's the reality of the situation on the ground. so many of these people are trying to get out. and now they are frankly stuck. and, you know, at the strategic level, you know, the russians that's a tactical failure. i think it's a result of their

frustration. an indicator that they're failing tactically and they are trying to demoralize people and frankly it's not working. we are seeing poor execution from the russians. morale is down. you know, they are not as strong i think as people originally thought they were. and so, you know, it's a good thing the ukrainians are fighting for their lives right now and the russians are fighting for a deck territory who frankly doesn't care about them. >> bret: one quick question is it possible to get humanitarian aid on a drone and drop the aid into these cities because they don't seem to be going by ground and they don't seem to van air force that could do it. can you get a drone to get water and perishables, perishables? >> kyiv headed down south. every single one of those checkpoints are manned by

ukrainian soldiers. they are armed heavily. they pull us out of the car and to us. at the same time they know they are going to fight the russians. and they are allowing aid to get through there at the same time i know the u.s. government has a few other options up their sleeve should they choose to do so. >> steve: let's see what happens. he left the united states to go help people in ukraine. brett, thank you very much. be careful. thank you, sir. >> rachel: every one of those checkpoints is a scary situation. >> steve: absolutely. >> rachel: live look at the white house where tiktok influencers on high inflation. >> steve: instead of taking action to address gas price and inflation. the president instead is playing the blame game. >> brian: peter doocy they white house with the latest. >> now we know what it looks like when officials here try to put the word out that putin is mostly responsible for rising gas prices on tiktok because this is one of the tiktok

influencers who was briefed by the white house this week. >> why is gas so expensive and why is the united states inflation rate at four time decades high? i had the opportunity to ask the white house why gas down the street is $7 and here's what they said. russia is one of the top three producers of oil and it is actually their number one revenue source. now, with putin starting this horrific fight between ukraine and russia, nobody wants to work with him to do international trade. >> this is the trend line a year ago gas 2.86. a month by 3.49. a week ago 4.17. it is a problem and it is being baked into the president's midterm warm-up speech. >> because of the pandemic, we had significant eruption -- disruption in the supply chain. the seconds big reason for inflation is vladimir putin. a big part of that reason is putin began amassing troops along the border and then

crossed. make no mistake, the current spike in gas prices largely the fault of vladimir putin. >> president biden is not really offering any new solutions to bring those prices down, but republicans are saying there is an easy one. >> he could open up the spittinr he won't do it. look what's beneath our feet open up american energy. we could lower gas prices tomorrow and take money out of putin's pocket so he won't have the ability to fund this war. >> the president may travel to europe in coming weeks to address the situation in ukraine. there is other stuff going on here and the president's events today are entirely focused on his domestic agenda. back to you. >> steve: peter, we were talking about high prices, a month ago that was bidenflation but now it's putin's pryce hike obviously from your report. even though there is war going

on that the whole world is paying attention to that doesn't stop the president from doing fundraising, does it? >> he was at fundraiser at the marriott marquee hotel the first time he has gone in person to a fundraiser since he took office. and it is something that a presidents do, they got make money. big money maker for their party and really, you know, they can't -- they chose not to wait around for this to wind down. they had -- they decided that they had to go last night. >> steve: they did. 3 million pucks. >> rachel: how about instead of a tiktok summit we have an american energy sum mid at our white house. >> brian: so much more fun to have tiktok. >> steve: that was the last administration. they had that. >> rachel: they had those ones. brian beto o'rourke says i don't understand to see joe biden or stacy abrams.

i don't want anybody from the outside. the people joe biden usually benefits don't want to show up. steve: they don't want to be tagged joe biden is high tax and high food. they are by extension the democrats want to get away with from it. >> brian: all the blame going around no one has blamed car i had shimkus for the raise of inflation. >> carley: that's a good thing. when it comes to putin's his policies made russia relintd on oil and gas. the link is still there between the biden administration. >> steve: couple of dots that have not been connected. >> rachel: you need to go on tiktok. car i'm not on tiktok. >> brian: snapchat and then tiktok. >> carley: so 2019. we have headlines to get to starting with this horrific story here. hard too watch. elderly asian-american woman punched more than 125 times in a horrific hate crime attack. the victim suffered broken bones in her face and bleeding in the

lethal assistance. this is going to get more difficult as the russians escalate they started attacking supply lines near the border. we can't back down russian pressure. i would like zelenskyy to lay out exactly what he needs talking particularly about the role those migs 29 could have played. the other thing i would like to him to address and i don't know if he goal there the role that china is playing in all of this in supporting russia's slaughter in ukraine. the biden administration needs to stop playing footsy with the chinese right now. because they are trying to portray themselves as peacemakers but behind the scenes they are standing by their man in moscow harder this get for putin the more determined weapons, supplies and energy sales. we need to call out the role the chinese are playing here. this alliance among authoritarian states is the feature of the new cold war that

china has launched against america. the sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can win the new cold war. >> brian: congressman, he keeps saying i'm just the beginning. if he is able to take ukraine or a portion of it, he is going for more hows can he convince the american people and lawmakers that he is right and do you agree? >> i think putin's ambitions do extend beyond ukraine. i think zelenskyy is right to point that out. he is right to highlight the threat to nato and i think what he can do is show, based on the bravery of the ukrainian people, based on the way he is leading from the front that if we just have some confidence right now if we stand up to aggression we cannot only help the ukrainians defend themselves make sure putin is not tempted to destabilize the baltic states or go after poland going forward. zelenskyy is absolutely right. to point out that putin's ambitions extend well beyond ukraine itself. >> brian: congressman, you know the rules of war. you don't shoot buses or blow up

apartment buildings, you don't hospitals or civilians. they are doing all these things. if they do that. does it get them the victory that they want in the end? >> well, i'm concerned that the russians, despite suffering losses, despite being stalled, will stop at nothing to move slowly forward, consolidate their gains, you are right. they don't abide by the rules. and over time they may be able just to force ukraine to submit, if nothing else, they may be able to consolidate their gains in the south. and i think that's a key point that led to this crisis in the first place. we assumed that putin would play by the rules of the 21st century or abide by norms that we abide by. that's not the way a kgb thug like putin operates. we need to stop projecting auer value structure on to evil authoritarians like putin or xi jinping or we are going to continue to be surprised when they invited countries threatening sanctions in

response. they play by the rules of hard power. that is the world they live in. we need to understand that's the world that we live in on the international stage. >> brian: before barack obama took office we said we are going to sanction you if you don't get out of crimea. we didn't do it. they kept all their land in georgia and then we tried to reason with them and threaten them with sanctions if they didn't invade ukraine. nothing works. we can't keep treating them like rational actors. you get that i hope the world gets that congressman, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: all right. coming up straight ahead. a first generation ukrainian returns to her country to help document the harr rowing stories of war. she joins us with an eyewitness account next. don't move. ♪ landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary.

"the washington examiner" by the way calls these efforts

conspicuous faux environmentalism. i as an american can't understand why we would transfer all of our fossil fuel wealth to countries that hate us. >> the reason why europe need russian gas is exactly the backup solar and wind. what do you do when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing? you need backup. we get that from gas. the way to make sure that you're independent of russian gas and that makes sense, is to start fracking. europe should learned from the u.s. and actually do the same thing as you have done. namely get fracking so you get your own resources instead of being reliant on others. the argument that we just need more renewables really don't address the fact that they are not permanent. they are not back-up power. they need the backup power from gas. >> rachel: it's so true. we talk about this whole issue in ukraine. we see so much human suffering. it's also exposed what a

national security problem it is when you aren't energy independent. and now we have the u.n. talk -- give a statement yesterday talking about this is very serious. we could be on the brink of a nuclear war which sounds like a bigger climate crisis to me than the temperature of the ocean being below you few degrees than what they want. >> absolutely. again, i'm astounded when you hear people saying there is possibly a nuclear war. and do you know what? that could be bad for climate change. actually, nuclear war is bad. there are a lot of problems in the world. and global warming is one of them. but it seems to -- this obsessive focus just on climate change to the extent that you now actually worry about a nuclear war because it would be bad for global warming is out of whack with reality. we should be concerned about a lot of different things. we should be very concerned about avoiding a nuclear war. we should be concerned about war

in general and people starving or people not having a good education. dying from diseases or oh climate change. let's get our priorities right. if you want to deal with the problem from russia, you should be able to have your own energy. that includes get fracking, maybe go more nuclear. make sure you get all these energy sources that can actually make your independent instead of just talking about your favorite thing like solar and wind. >> rachel: you talk about priorities. it's spot on. and i guess my question to you is where does this obsession come from? some people have suggested that for some of these climate activists it's like a religion to them. is it that the ones at the top of the food chain in the climate agenda have investments that they want to promote and green investments? what is behind this obsession that makes no logical or economic sense for america? >> so, look, anyone who has this one thing they focus on will

obviously always be concerned about that. i don't know, it's i think a lot of them are well-intentioned global warming is a problem. it's only one of the many problems. and, again, certainly we should be more concerned right now with russia and we should be more concerned about nuclear war. and we should be concerned about all these other problems that are in the world. i think we just need to say that. and say it out loud so everyone in the understands it be mindful of what you focus on because that's what we are going to end up spending our resources on. >> rachel: american people are pretty focused on energy costs which are imporching them right now. bjorn so good to talk to you this morning. carley? >> carley: good morning, rachel. start with headlines right here. 49 of 50 republican senators are vowing to reverse any agreement from the white house that weakens sanctions on nuclear program. the senators pledge to do

on, you know, why we raised the prices then here is my cell phone number. have them personally call me and i will be glad to chat with them. >> steve: how many people have actually called. >> you know what? my waiters were so good and so schooled on what was actually happening in the market i never got one phone call. i expected it but i didn't get it. >> let's pretend i'm one of the people that's a customer in your place. i've got your phone number from my waiter. why are the rib so expensive. >> i would say first off, you had covid. then we have gas prices and increased labor in all of our meat prices have doubled in price. i know you've gone to the grocery store to see what's happened there. i would just have to explain it to them that way. >> steve: when people go to the grocery store, you and i were talking in the grocery store yesterday. everything is at least $1 more. people are getting use to seeing

it. for a while, we saw shelves that were empty. at least most of those shelves are full now about the prices are up. >> the prizes i've gone through the roof. really for the first time at the grocery store if it's happened that way, they haven't been able to hold the line. the consumer comes to my restaurant and sees they understand that it is more expensive. there's not a question about it. it might be cheaper to go out i need then it is to go home and cook and try to clean it up. >> steve: you are with us a couple of weeks ago because at your restaurant you got rid of the russian vodka. instead, you found some ukrainian vodka. it's been a couple of weeks. what is the reaction been? >> it's been great. we were able to get the vodka in that night and the customers came in. people were ordering it. a portion of the fund that we were making off the drink that we were going to send to ukraine to help them out. everybody is just really

accepted it and we are happy that we did it. how does the ukrainian vodka taste? >> it's great. i had a couple of martinis the other day. i'm going to have to go back and try them again. >> steve: what time of the day did you have those martinis? >> we don't talk about that. it might've been earlier than usual. >> steve: i get up at 3:00 in the morning. it's always noon. thank you very, very much for joining us and good luck to you. >> thank you. you bet. thanks a lot. >> steve: still ahead, can one man save the world? front man releasing a new song in honor of president zelensky. he joins us live to hear it. stick around for the next hour of "fox & friends."

3 million ukrainians have left the country after the start of the war many of which went to poland. >> we are getting close on that. and the leaders of the prime ministers of poland, the czech republic and slovenia are traveling to kyiv today on a train to stand with president zelenskyy in a show of support. president zelenskyy is also going to be addressing our congress tomorrow. are there prime ministers will visit with him later today in kyiv. >> i wonder if these leaders are coming there just for support or if this also has something to do with these diplomatic talks on my calling them the possibility of peace talks. that are ongoing right now in ukraine. >> brian: they absolutely know that the threat of russia, the oppressive way in which the soviet union had an iron sickle over their life and destroyed their lives. they want no part of it. they are happy being western oriented.

they know the threat of russia up close and personal. it's not a theory to them. they have people in track record for it. that's why they see eye to eye with ukrainians. i think about sweden, norway, and fenlon who said we lean west, but we don't need to sign up for this. now they are hosting cold-weather training exercises with nato nations which i think is a great show of unity against russia. they are showing absolutely no ethics and what they are doing. shooting at buses, apartment buildings, hospitals, children. at least 65 kids, children have died. they are going and reading people's houses, taking over -- they kidnapped two mayors at least. they put their own stooge in there. not to be accepted by anyone in that city. >> some of this indiscriminate bombing could be a sign of

weakness, out of desperation. >> steve: absolutely. rash is of stuff. that's one of the reasons we need help. reportedly, they ask for cash. they ask for drones. they ask for meals ready to it because they have anything to eat. think about the old axiom of an army travels on their stomach. if they don't have food, they are in trouble. there's a story at this hour, the daily mail is citing defense forces that say russia may only be able to fight at full capacity for about ten days or two weeks, because moscow is on the run. advances on ukraine have stopped as moscow's manpower -- they express it this way. russia has lost hundreds of choppers, 80 war planes, hundreds of tanks, and in 19 days, the russian army has lost more in ukraine then and there to and long bloody year wars in

chechnya. as you look at the advances by the russians, sure, they are advancing. what are they holding? and they are running out of stuff. the big question is, how much of anything will russia actually give rather wilson and i go to russia. yesterday our national security advisor said to china, we know you are talking to him. we've heard you say you will help them. if you help them, there will be consequences. speak to a lot of people not sure what the consequences will be. those parts were supposedly coming or supposing harsh words coming from jake sullivan, something that somebody who doesn't have a lot of credibility for his own political involvement and russian disinformation. during the last administration. i'm not sure where that will lead. i think what's interesting about the latest development is how they could impact the possible resolution to this war.

good the domestic pressures that russia is facing right now because of the sanctions because so many of his friends that i having their assets seized and bad things happening to them around the world, is that putting pressure on putin in addition to all of the military underwhelming performance of his military right now and ukraine, could not bring them to the table? or, brian, could it just make them be more aggressive? >> brian: if they have a change in tone at these meetings, one that took place yesterday there was a brief pause. there was a lot of mystery to it. president zelenskyy talk so confidently yesterday, the most confident in my humble opinion it's been in a week. he talked about winning the home term. we are going to win this thing. we know you don't know what you are doing. we know you don't want to be here. to give up, we will treat you the way we should be treated.

to give up now, i thought that was an interesting tone to take. the doctors with a smart medical aid director. she tells us, she was on the ground. and she talked about what it is like and how inhumane the russians are acting and the people they are attacking. he's a longtime special operator drone expert with operation dynamo trying to bring aid -- save america still in ukraine and bring aid to others. listen to their take on what's happening on the ground. >> the politics of russian army, they are targeting the most vulnerable, that children come in the hospitals, and every day, the images can literally break your heart. because this is the situation we are in. they are there for the kill. they are not there to what they

say, basically save us from some kind of an enemy. we see how desperate they are to just destroy everything, everywhere they go. >> there are hundreds of americans still trapped in ukraine who don't know what to do to get out of the country. the situation on the ground is changing rapidly. the humanitarian crisis is so much worse than i could've ever imagined. words don't describe it. the level of need here exceeds the level of people around the world. you can fully begin to grasp it until you are on the ground and steering these refugees in the eyes. russia is exacerbating his humanitarian catastrophe all around the country. they are killing civilians who are just trying to flee. it deaths are mounting from russian strikes and residential areas. >> the residential areas where the indiscriminate bombing, the shelling of these apartment buildings. keep in mind, russian is telling people, we are not shelling

civilians. they absolutely are killing them. and in the meantime when it's very clear is that these stories are true about russia remain out of stuff. you created the military plan is essentially rope-a-dope. they are trying to buy the time. they are trying to stop russian troop morale as they slowly run out of stuff. the big question is, when they run out of stuff, and morale is at the bottom where, you know, their own soldiers i've got to go rob a grocery store. at what point do they say, maybe it's time for us to do something? given the fact that the so-called peace talks with zelenskyy and the russians, they took that pause yesterday and zelenskyy is optimistic. keep in mind, zelenskyy is made it very clear. he only has two requirements of it. he wants a cease-fire, and he wants all the russians to leave. if he is optimistic about it, one of the russians telling him?

>> he said he was willing to take nato membership off the table which is very, very critical. speaking about the demoralization of the russian soldiers in his speech yesterday, zelenskyy actually speaking directly to russian soldiers saying we hear your phone calls. we know you don't want to be here. we hear your calls with your family. just surrender. we promise we won't treat you badly. we will treat you well. to just drop your weapons, and let it go. very interesting speaking directly to the soldiers themselves. >> brian: you have to do what so many on the bipartisan level on some respects, they got there pressure china to be out of it. they are begging belarusians to get involved definitely come in the country 9% support the russian movement there. they don't want to be a pariah of the world like russia is. the military run by -- is subservient to putin because he stayed in power because putin sent troops. he lost the election and refuses to leave.

he owes putin that loyalty. he's begging the forces to get in. he's telling the world forces, and help us with some urban fighting as general said yesterday, don't believe -- they know how to fight. they fought there before. it doesn't mean they are good at it. what also i think is important to understand is the scorched earth policy is from russia. they did it to napoleon. they did it to hitler. they burned their own stuff and retreated. here, they are burning another country up and moving forward. that country hates them as much as the russians and soviets hated hitler and hated napoleon. that's why they were motivated. the russians should learn from their own history and their own past. you cannot beat somebody into liking you. they hate you. case in point. you took the city ten days ago. that they are still in your face screaming at you in the streets.

that's why they haven't moved many say towards odesa because they can't get past kherson. that's what happens when a population despises you. >> i think that's what joe biden is counting on as he's dealing with his own domestic problems. he's saying, it's not me. it's not that i cut off america's energy and took us from being energy dominance to now begging for oil and gas from terrible enemies around the world, this is not about covid and supply chain. this is really about putin. listen. >> president biden: despite the progress we made, we know that families are still struggling with higher prices. i grew up in a family where the price of gas went up at the pump at the gas station. we talked about it at the kitchen table. but let's be absolutely clear about why prices are higher now. they are high for two reasons.

one was covid. now, the second big reason for inflation is vladimir putin. gas prices are not a joke. we have seen the price of gas go up over a dollar just since he put his troops on the border, on the border of ukraine. the world took notice. the market anticipated. prices went up. putin invaded. make no mistake, the current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of vladimir putin. it has nothing to do with the american plan. >> [laughs] they are trying to pivot from bill back better and try to figure out a way out of this hole that they are in when it comes to the polls. nancy pelosi yourself told the president, we need a better message. americans are blaming us and the democrats for high prices with gas and food and stuff like that. what the president said is true. the prices of gas to go up about a dollar, you know, wants to put

his people they were along the border. but he doesn't say is that they also went up a dollar after joe biden essentially declared war on fossil fuels but the democrats are in a hole. what are they going to do? they are looking to change the narrative. it was about a month ago, it was referred to as biden inflation. now, edson putin's price hike. that is how they are saying why gas is $7.11 over the weekend. a couple of days ago, they called in 30 tiktok stars. they did a zoom with them. they said okay, we want you guys to fight disinformation. there's a lot of disinformation out there. >> [laughs] we cannot fight disinformation with more misinformation. >> steve: people are saying is joe biden. it's not joe biden. it is putin. they explained that. this is an example of how effective the talk was on

friday. she has 10 million followers on tiktok. after her briefing from the white house, she went on tiktok to explain, hey, it's not joe biden. it's vladimir putin. mission accomplished. watch this. >> weiss gas so expensive and wise united states inflation rate and a 4-time dedicated high? i have the opportunity to ask the white house way it is $7 and this is what they said for the office reason, we are getting out of the pandemic. when use goes up, price goes up. ukraine and russia -- russia is one of the top three producers of oil. if their number one revenue source. now with putin starting the horrific fight between ukraine and russia, nobody wants to work with him in international trade. >> brian: it's a good move if you want to get 18 to 24's. i used to think it was snapchat news.

i'm so 2019. it's that. >> steve: i've got some bad news about myspace. >> brian: i'm always the last to know. i can't find my password anyway which always happens to me. i never get close. i guess i've got a caps lock. i'm not sure. here's the thing. the one thing i know about these people that become these tiktok stars whether it is influencers, they are authentic. they are not usually bought. when he says i talk to the white house and they said, and that's the thing 18 to 24-year-olds are stupid, they are going to pick out what we picked out. the white house is smart to go to the people with the most followers. but they are not smart to be a mouthpiece for the white house. because that whittles away at their authenticity. whether you think they are a genius, graduating from yale, or you think they are high school dropouts who just got -- just left a gang. the people trust them. now they are going to say, wait, are you saying the same thing as

the white house? i was on tiktok because i didn't want to get traditional news. >> i think people do follow them. right in line with all the talking points that are going on from the white house as well. there is an incentive by everybody on the left to blame this and push this off on putin so they can continue with their radical frankly anti-american and climate agenda. right now we have just transferred massive, you know, amounts of wealth or transferring wealth that could be in the pockets of the american people not just because of inflation but jobs and everything else. transferring it to people that hate us. frankly i will say this, i absolutely find this to be so shallow. this government is going to people who say death to america, begging for oil. they are saying we are in ukraine. >> steve: don't worry about it. >> we are all about freedom and democracy. they are the same people who crush the freedom movement in canada.

told justin trudeau to crush the truckers prayer they are begging for oil in venezuela from the very dictators who have crushed the freedom movement in venezuela. this is absolutely so hypocritical. i don't think brian that the tiktok users are going to -- you know, they are not thinking through all this. she's awesome. i like her. she went to the white house. they are taking it seriously. you see the tv and putin looks pretty bad because he is bad. it seems like he could be a good villain. he could at least slough off some of the blame. >> steve: the white house influenced influencers. we will see how that influences people. every gas pump in america now has one of those little joe biden -- >> that might be the most thing that republicans can do is turn off a bunch of those. >> somebodies behind it. >> brian: when they guy who created the best electric car says it's time to put more oil and gas, he cares more about the country then he does about his

own profits even though obviously, he doesn't need extra money. speak to the bottom line is american people don't care who is to blame. they want president biden to fix it. that's the main priority. ditch the venezuelan dictator numbers and start firing up -- >> in the next year, they can fix the problem with what's happening here with ukraine warren inflation. it's gonna go to 10%. >> are you circling back? >> it's gonna go to 10%. >> circle back to some headli a serial killer shooting five homeless men killing 2 has been arrested in washington, d.c., after a multistate manhunt. the man is suspected of attacks in both d.c. and manhattan. the rest come after police and mayors both work together to catch the killer. crime in seattle is so bad, amazon says they are temporarily relocating roughly 1800 employees to their downtown office.

they are going after hospitals. they are shooting women and kids, and they continue to try to intimidate ukraine to get them to give up. ben hodges, he served as commander of u.s. forces in europe. atlanta command. he joins us now. thanks so much. i was showing a map of where the russians are currently present. the red arrow shows where they are heading. the blue arrow shows where the ukraine is the fencing. where would you want me to go first? >> brian, actually, they are going to go after kyiv obviously the way they've gone after it. what we are going to see is in the next nine or ten days, russian forces are going to run out of time, gonna run out of people. they're gonna run out of ammunition. we would say culminate. if they're going going to reach their culminating point and they will not be able to continue attacking. this is a decisive week as long as we in the west accelerate delivery of the capabilities they need.

>> steve: you want aid pouring in from the outside knowing that they are targeting the aide that's coming in. if you think they could be escorted in? >> they were all kinds of convoys and aircraft. ukraine is a very large country. of course the russians are going to try to entered like this. i don't think they have the ability -- it's essential. this same with the airlift. that is the scale in that sense of urgency that we need to give these capabilities in dewey greene. >> brian: we've got to get them some food and water. it is really on its back. can we drop them through drones? can we do them through airplanes? >> it is held out now for 19 days. that's the easiest city for the russians to capture. it is still fighting. an awful situation there.

i think the whole world should be putting pressure on the kremlin to allow humanitarian corridors. other people advocating humanitarian no-fly zone of some sort. we've got to focus on the main effort here. the main effort is granting the russian army into dust, causing them to culminate here in the next 1.5 weeks. that's when we hit the tipping point in a different situation. >> i hope your intelligence is 100%. they are running out. i show you all the nato nations. cold-weather exercises taking place to believe in norway. there's a time for sweden and finland to apply for nato membership. >> this exercise response in norway is brilliant because it will remind the russians that they are vulnerable and a lot of other places. they've got everybody focused on ukraine. it shows the reach. we can put pressure on a lot of

places. finland is very, very close to deciding that they would like to join the alliance. in sweden i think is a little bit further behind. this is a choice for them to make. i imagine that the alliance would welcome them. there is a process. i hope they do join. those are great soldiers there. >> they used to think they could handle their own security. i don't think anyone feels that way now. hold on for ten days. i could be the message to president zelenskyy when he joins congress. thank you so much, general. >> thanks for the privilege. >> brian: the pain you feel at the pump could be extended to your rideshare apps. how they are responding to the surging gas prices. 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. at adp, we use data-driven insights

climbing but that the prices of everything else is going to go up as well as fuel costs surge. we are already seeing that happen. you mentioned uber and lyft. lyft confirmed to fox business that is tacking on a temporary fuel surcharge after uber made a similar move last week. lyft didn't tell us how much that fee would be but uber says each trip will cost you $0.45 or $0.55 more. each uber eats order will go up by $0.35 or $0.45. grubhub announced its increasing pay for drivers, but didn't say whether it would pass that cost on to customers. >> almost too much, you know. we cannot afford it. >> due to covid. now at the prices being so high, it's almost impossible to do so knowing that we have to --

america's solar, wind, and other energy. and we have to get up the dependency of fossil fuels." is that while voters want to hear with midterms around the corner? leo drill joins us now from l.a. it's a fund-raiser. he raised $3 million. and of fund-raiser, if you want to say the things that energize your crowd. they wanted him to talk about climates, and he did not let them down. >> i will tell you right now, joe biden did a great job of pleasing john kerry and the climate changers, he has abandoned working-class americans. the democratic party no longer represents working-class americans. they are allowing americans to suffer at the pump. he's in denial that he is responsible from day one for inflation and for higher gas prices. he has declared war on oil and

gas. that's why we are in this current situation. other than the capital city of high gas prices. it is disastrous for working-class people. he's going to pay the price at the midterm elections. >> bruce who writes a newsletter, presented how the two different parties will spend ukraine when it comes to the midterms. depending on which party you're at. when it comes to inflation, is it biden inflation or putin's price hike? is it afghanistan embolden putin or putin valley the west? is it the return of possession shortage or finally, when it comes to energy, green new dealers or climate deniers. it's going to be a choice. >> i will take the republicans decide on this. i can convince joe biden for

lying to the american public. you shown the facts all morning from day one trend, the price of gas have gone up because he has basically shut down the oil industry. i also submit to you and all the viewers at afghanistan, the most disastrous foreign policy decision to leave american soldiers, to leave americans there, to have 13 american service workers basically kill basic on his foreign policies to withdraw at all costs. the war in ukraine, steve, he talked about punishing russia. he could've done done that much earlier. no one can deny the fact that joe biden asleep at the wheel failed at the policies of foreign policies and in my opinion, he's more interested in pleasing john kerry claimant then allowing americans the ability to go work. it's too expensive to go to work. >> steve: we have a preview of coming attractions. thank you very much for joining

freedom, period? is that what prompted this? >> i think you are right, brian beard we've been looking for a hero, a leader. we don't have strong leaders in the west who are for freedom and fighting to die for our country. i think we have been longing for someone to stand up and remind us who we are in the west. who would've thought it would have been a comedian from ukraine? what he's doing it. >> very interesting point. there was likely a poll recently that said americans wouldn't fight for their country. >> steve: we are about to play it so everybody would hear it. you just mentioned he was a comedian. you got that right in the beginning of the song. then you explain how that superman can save the world. ♪ ♪
