that whole time we have left this evening. thank you for making the show possible. thrthank for joining us . please set your dvr. never miss an episode.gr i don'tea think it's complicate. ragan. he helped the mujahadeen. he helped the freedom fighters and the contras well without putting a single boott on the ground. joe follow reagan follow trump and will do fine. >> laura ingram's next . have a great night. i'm laura ingraham. and this is ingrid betancourt from a very busy washington tonight . raymond arroyo is here with the full breakdown of the contrasting styles today between presidents biden and zelenskyy. plus, there are new reports of bombings at this hour in ukraine. we're going to have a live update from our own greg palkot in just a bit. but first, roadblocks to peace. that's the focus of tonight's @ngel nearly three weeks into this war of choice by vladimir putin, we see the horrors of

his brutality even against civilians. we also know that with america run by a hologram president with a hobbled economy, chaos reigns and our enemies are emboldened. the world is changing rapidly. and what happens next ? it's not easy to predict. still, there are signs that a peace deal may be within reach. look at what's being discussed because the moment the russians seem ready to accept ukraine as neutral, not nato, but on the model of sweden or austria potentially in the european union and letting outside powers certainly i think include the united states provide guarantees of ukraine's security. so if you listen to what they're actually talking about with the ukrainian counterpart and ignore some of the more steamy rhetoric, the russian position is shifting and zelenskyy shifting as well by being realistic on nato membership.

>> we have heard for many years about the open doors, but we also that we can't enter those doors and this is truth and we have simply to accept it as it is. >> now there's clearly a deal here for the making it to any of you feel watching tv or reading online any urgency for peace actual peace. now, of course putin could just decide to stop the shelling right now, but he's not going to do that unless he gets something for and president and one called vladimir putin could end these hostilities. hey, vlad, no more . we purchases no more oil buys to until you stop the killing. but she's not going to do that now. right now he has western europe and america all tied up in knots, blowing billions of dollars trying to help ukraine after the fact, then leaving more discounted russian oil for china and the west is acting as an impediment to peace while

we're at this conversation. well, people who don't seem particularly bothered by the prospect of the war dragging on well, mostly for political reasons. that's what we're talking about. well, the principal parties are clearly trying to get to yes, we've already discovered that . but the biden administration never seems to sound hopeful. we have not seen any concrete indication from president putin that he is serious about diplomacy, that he is serious about putting an end to the violence and much to the contrary. and today biden didn't talk offramp talk a lot about peace, but it was all about punishment . together with our allies and partners, we will keep up of pressure on putin's crumbling economy, isolating him on the global stage. that's our goal. make putin pay the price. >> well, that's a nice applause line. as we know, sanctions rarely work and then there's michael mcfaul, the former u.s.

ambassador to russia under obama. now he's thinks zelenskyy not around elected officials should dictate our ukraine policy. >> what about listening to him rather than we pretend that we know what he means? what about if he thinks he needs these weapons while we listen to him and when we say, oh , they'll be shut down? oh , he doesn't have airports to put those migs in . what about listening to his judgment to help him fight the war that he is, after all, is the one fighting the war at his country. so of course it's his job to fight for it. what is he talking about? plus, as mcfaul aware that congress hasn't voted on an actual declaration of war or the fact that there's scant public support for us to get into a shooting war with russia. does that matter at all to him now? maybe mcfaul has biden naidus actually think zelenskyy is our secretary of state or our vice

president. and let's not forget what senate majority leader chuck schumer has said when he urged peace. well, he didn't urge that's a trick question. >> he's too busy playing the fanboy role in one since his speech was reminiscent of disturbing feeling all of us had in the aftermath of 9/11 . equal parts resolve and unity and determination to save democracy from an hour of darkness. now invoking 9/11 here is simply obscene. he sounds like he's ripping zelenskyy not his constituents . those words, by the way, don't calm things down. they wrap things up. do we want putin to really believe that all on 9/11 we're digging in for the long deployment of us forces and just as reckless is trump hating soon to be former congressman adam kinzinger? and i personally think we need

to do a no fly zone. i think we've gotten to the point though where there is significant risk in action now when zelenskyy calls for a no fly zone, it's totally understandable. i don't blame them one bit when kinzinger does it. it's highly irresponsible rather and doing what's in our national interests, which is avoiding a war with russia. he just stoked further tensions and he didn't think i'd forget mitt romney. did you enough talk. people are dying, said the planes that they need. they want migs get them the migs. why don't you pay for them now? did he ever stop to think that more people could die if we send ukraine migs and i'm not talking about russians and last but not least, lindsey graham, do you still stand by your call to be assassinated? do you still stand by your

i hope you'll be taken out one way or the other. i don't care either take him out. i don't care if we send him to the hague and try him. >> i just want him to go. yes. if john mccain were here and he'd be saying the same thing well, we all want putin gone, no doubt about it. and regarding john mccain, god rest his soul. but mccain's also the guy who saved obamacare or wanted us mired in syria and never wanted us out of afghanistan. graham's comments don't ratchet down tension again. they stoke tension. the last thing we need is putin even more paranoid than he already is if he thinks he'll die or rot in prison. putin may just say forget negotiations, let it rip. so pooh poohing negotiations threatening putin. that's the easy stuff and it's satisfying at the moment. i get it, but it doesn't accomplish much. no one should be cynically thinking that an extended conflict in ukraine is good for

him or her politically either. i hope they're not thinking that because history shows that the longer a war lasts, the more costly it is, by the way, to all involved, us policymakers have to be very careful to make sure we do not end up in a worse position when this is all over and prolonging this by dismissing any chance of peace or downplaying it will only ensure that more innocent people are slaughtered. a lot of the same people who are promising sure victory in ukraine of the linsky just get those migs or surface to air missiles were the same ones promising the same in iraq and afghanistan and we know how that all worked out for us . >> we all know that both putin and president xi are ruthless and determined. they must be resisted in a manner and in a time that will be effective and meaningful. reagan won the cold war by rebuilding our economy and growing our military, which

took a few years after the devastation we faced under carter. the same pattern will have to play out here now as the angliss said from the beginning, the situation in ukraine is a horrific tragedy. it breaks all of our hearts, but we have to be prudent and we have to be thoughtful in our response. and right now the u.s. is simply in no good position to engage in another protracted military struggle. we need time to repair our economy, reform our military and get political leadership that actually works, is good, is smart. whatever happens, we cannot repeat the same mistakes we made after 9/11 and that's the angle. joining me now is william rugare, president of the american institute for economic research. william, why does it seem like there is such a wide array of political forces opposed to or at least not helpful in the pursuit of ending this war

as soon as possible? >> well, thank you for having me, laura . i think one of the big problems here is that there are parts of the foreign policy elite are ideologically driven towards this position. they're not prudential. they're not realists like i just heard you talk about. right. they don't understand the world as it is as opposed to this kind of idealistic world they would like to be. and that leads them to want to in some ways have an unintended consequence of actually harming the people they would like to help. and i think it's largely because of this ideological project that we've seen this over the last 20 to 30 years. actually it's of peace even though this is a different front, it's similar to what we saw in afghanistan, the people that opposed the withdrawal and still think it was a bad idea for america to end its longest war . so i think that's one of the big problem is that we're talking about realism which you expressed, which i expressed, which so many more americans believe in and that kind of ideological nature of the foreign policy

establishment in washington. >> now that poll that came out ,a yougov poll that came out a couple of days ago when people just ask know do you think we should help with a no fly zone, it's pretty has a lot of support among the american people. when you say a no fly zone where american military aircraft could engage with russian aircraft and expand this military conflict, it just the numbers completely flip and overwhelmingly against involvement in a no fly zone with that context, i mean, they had to admit that in the poll that really tells the story, does it not? and the people were saying the same thing from about twenty six or so on regarding iraq and then ultimately in afghanistan they wanted our troops home. >> yeah, i think what americans appreciate the cost that could occur and we saw that again in afghanistan where they understood that if we continue to stay there it was going to be more american suffering, more americans coming home at dover and more

dollars out the door. but i think when americans appreciate the cost, they know this is not a good deal for americans because again, this is just not in our national interest. we don't want to get into a war with russia, a nuclear armed russia over ukraine, which again we can feel terrible for the people of ukraine and the tragedy of this aggression by putin. but it isn't our fight and we need to avoid an escalation into that . and you know what's funny is that even academics realized this no fly zone is a bad idea. right. william and mary did a study. it just came out today that showed that only seven percent of international relations scholars believe that a no fly zone is a good idea. i mean, again, there's just a kind of anti realism involved in these people who say, yeah, let's risk it all. i mean, that's just got us down this terrible road all along right back to 2003 in iraq, afghanistan, somalia, you know, libya, an underrated bad war . so again, we shouldn't listen to these same old, same old. we need a new guard.

fortunately, i think there are more people, not just the base of americans but others in washington that are kind of bubbling up and this voice well, the state department more often not is is is really dismissive of the idea that vladimir putin as horrible and evil as he is, would ever pursue any real negotiations that end up in ending this madness. what our concern has been a strong possibility that what the russians are engaging in is something akin to the pretense of diplomacy. in other words, going through the motions we need to see happen less words and more action on the ground when the state department just doesn't seem to be interested in getting involved here and certainly not ushering us toward a peaceful resolution after the slaughter that's taken place. we don't want a situation where for these ideological reasons we're willing to see

the ukrainians fight to the very last person. you know, there's there's an unintended consequence here of people dying and suffering on the grounds. this is going to end up in a negotiated settlement and that's a settlement that unfortunately we should have had before this crisis turned into a war. i mean, this issue of the enlargement of nato of the military to military exercises that the west has had with places like ukraine, georgia to increase military interoperability, these are things that russia has signaled were real problems. but again, that doesn't justify the aggression. but it does show you that we've been pushing, pushing, pushing and there's been a push back . and i think that we really need to think about ways to peace, ways to stability, especially because our interest is mainly in avoiding an escalatory spiral into a war, particularly a nuclear conflict. and we need to find ways to cooperate on those issues with russia because that's what diplomacy does when it works with not just friends but adversaries to find a path towards our national interests. >> well, backing people into

a corner is always a very risky move. william, thank you . good to see you tonight . and given all the media manipulation around all issues, including war , we have to ask who is it supposed to benefit? well, today the new york times gave us an answer. ukraine war shifts the agenda in congress empowering a center with a crisis rocking europe. the left shelving demands for defense cuts and a swift end to fossil fuels while on the right trump era foreign policy and criticism of ukraine are fading. translation the establishment's back in control and no dissent will be tolerated. here now is john daniel davidson, political editor of the federalist. john, the establishment wants to declare that america first foreign policy a more nationalist patria foreign policy is over . we've turned a page from that and the media wins to in this game. yeah, it's a rare bipartisan moment in washington.

you know, there's nothing that republicans and democrats in the center so-called can agree on than getting america involved in a war overseas. and so we're kind of seeing this return to form in washington. you mentioned that new york times headline. you're also seeing it in places like the wall street journal where, you know, you open up to the opinion page and there's all sorts columns and editorials calling for humanitarian airlifts and limited no fly zones and you know, the provision of these really advanced weapons systems to ukraine. and nowhere is anyone talking or even being honest about the fact that we run very serious risk of escalation with these actions. it's like they're just hand waving these things away and we're not even having a debate about it like you can see it changing day to day in washington and well, and who's going to get the weapons that we end up funding or sending that make their way

to ukraine who ultimately will have possession of those weapons? we've seen that play out time and again as well. and by the way, no one is more representative, i think of the establishment than the morning joe gang. you have nancy pelosi, you have mitt romney people on the right and the left coming together to support a man who's the spiritual leader of democracy in the west and around the world right now we see very clearly between right and wrong. america is strongest when america stands together and the president of the united states has performed remarkably well john. there's celebrating the political establishment, the bipartisan political establishment coming together to do something the american people, when you give them the actual context and the facts do not want. >> well, yeah, that's what the establishment does best is doing things the american people do not want to do. and that's true of international wars overseas. it's true of international trade and global trade deals.

it's true of the southern border. it's true of so many things. there is there is the establishment, the permanent washington bipartisan establishment that does what is its own best interests and it doesn't really take much account of what the american people want. and so we had this brief window during the trump presidency where you started to see what a more populist agenda in foreign policy in trade breaking through the crust of the establishment washington and he fought back very hard and now we're seeing a return to form. there's a sense, i think in washington that everyone is relieved that there's this war to talk about and ways to talk about how to escalate it because now we don't have to talk about the things that most americans are really concerned about inflation, the price of gas, the southern border, the problems that we have in our schools, the problems that we have in our cities with, with homelessness and with drug addiction. well, because then, john, you have to hold them accountable then then the politicians

who allowed all of this to happen, including destroying our industrial base in the midwest, sending all of our jobs overseas, they don't want to talk about that much rather talk about another country's devastation without talking about the fentanyl or everything else that's devastating the american population. they don't want to talk about that . i think you hit it right on the head. it's a it's a way to avoid a conversation about america. they always prefer that is why we love the federal. john, thank you . and breaking right now, keith, every five hour curfew is going to be coming to an end just about 90 minutes or so. fox the senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is to the west of the capital and livy's greg, you're hearing those air raid sirens now i understand you can hear them exact. exactly. you can probably hear behind us quite an eerie scene here hearing that empty streets when the sirens go off doesn't necessarily mean they're russians are attacking the city itself. it could be anywhere in the region.

and in fact, just a couple of hours ago we got reports of a cross border attack from belarus to ukraine in a town just to the to the north of where we are right now who was shelled. but a lot of action in kyiv on wednesday, just about a mile and a half from president zelenskyy residence, a building was shelled and other 12 storey building was destroyed. the bulk of the russian forces remain outside, but they're basically pounding the center and pounding the suburbs. the port city of mariupol, big theater was was hit there that was being used as a as a shelter for civilians, including children. we don't have the word on casualties there yet. a hospital is commandeered by russians for a shooting position and aid convoys were blocked again from going in and in the city of cherney. ten people killed there waiting on a bread line when a bomb dropped on them. this caused the president zelenskyy to refer to that when

he was speaking to congress. and he also said in his simple words, we need you now to the united states. president biden coming up with the other eight hundred billion dollars worth of military aid. finally, laura , the word on the negotiation between ukraine and russia. they describe it as serious and realistic, but the horror going on around this country is very unrealistic. back greg, do we have any report tonight about our own benjamin hall and his condition ? some good news in a very sad week for for fox. benjamin, we are told, has now been brought out of ukraine. he is in a very top notch health facility right now and the best news that we've got is that we are told he is

alert and in good spirits. again, some good news, a sad and tragic week for fox here. it sure it sure was. >> and we needed that good news, greg. thank you . support enthusiastically the sending of mig aircraft from poland. my personal feeling is we should provide those planes. i haven't met anybody in the senate is not. and so we're seeing those migs get into ukraine as calls to send migs to ukraine grow larger by the day, louder by the day. we want to take a step back and ask is that wise? would it even make much of a difference at this point? and who is in ukraine who has the actual skills which are considerable to fly those planes? these are relevant questions and something the senate armed services committee chair jack reed addressed today to say that as a distraction because they simply couldn't fly them effectively anyway. explain. well, they have a number of mig aircraft itself and they're flying very few sorties.

that could be a combination of lack of support mechanics, fuel the safety of the pilots in the air, the lack of pilots. joining me now is arkansas senator tom cotton who also sits on the armed services committee. senator , you do not agree with that assessment. why i don't, laura . first of all, i want to say that i'm very grateful for greg palkot report and and i on behalf of all arkansans continue to send prayers to bidgee hall and his family. i know it's been a very tough, tough week for you and the whole fox family. we're very sorry for your losses for the cameraman and sosha, the interpreter that we're working with injured. but we're glad to hear he's doing okay there. just three more innocent civilian victims among thousands in vladimir putin's brutal war of aggression. i don't agree with jack reed's assessment. i do think that president zelenskyy and ukrainian army has proven that they can take this fight to the russians.

they can close their own skies . we support them with the weapons and aircraft they need. now these mig aircraft are not a silver bullet. laurer there are no silver bullets in warfare. it is about the total mix of weapons and vehicles and aircraft you could bring to bear. but ukraine has these aircraft. they're familiar. we're flying them. poland is willing to send them. it was ridiculous for the secretary of state to say we greenlighted the transfer one day and then two days later say it would be escalatory if the united states transferred them. president biden once again is on the back foot. he needs to be where president zelenskyy urgent to be today, which is leading the world in helping ukraine fight for their own freedom. biden can't lead the united states. senator cotton, with all due respect, i when i hear when i hear president biden being told you need to lead the world. first of all, you know, with all due respect to president zelenskyy, it's obviously incredibly heroic. he's fighting for his country as he should.

but we have a president who is as i said in the angle essentially a hologram. he is not an active president defending our interests here, let alone the president of the world. so i mean, i think going down that road is kind of ridiculous at this point. what he could do is just stop engaging in half measures that are a day late and a dollar short. you know, last week, for instance, he came out and get very testy speech about how we were going to ban the import of oil into america from russia. we're still importing russian oil. they had a month and a half long wind down period of that . so we're still still sending on average more than 20 millions of dollars a day to russia's war machine. this goes back four months so you have had president biden who's continually been a day late and a dollar short, whether he's dragged along by the bravery and the courage that the ukrainian army has displayed or by members congress and frankly by members of congress in both parties in many cases.

just look today they announced the transfer of eight hundred million dollars of weapons to ukraine. welcome should have been done a month ago or two months ago and it's still just a fraction of what congress proposed last week. look, the ukrainian people and army have proven that they are capable of fighting the russians. we need to encourage them to do so and we need to provide the weapons that they need to fight the russians. now, you don't think you don't think we're giving the ukrainians at this point and the rest of the world falko ,if you think that you think given the fact that russia is closing in on ukraine at this moment, you heard the air raid sirens outside all of that we're not building people up to false hope at this point. i'm worried about that given the fact that still so many people are in those cities. i'm worried, laura . i really don't. one of the reasons we're hearing air raid sirens across ukraine is that the russian army has failed in its first plan to encircle these cities and force their capitulation. kyiv is being hit with missiles

and artillery because the russian army cannot encircle key. they've been trying to do so for three weeks. there are no closer today than they were. so yes, there are still a lot of bloodshed in ukraine. russia is still engaged in indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas. that's because they have not been to achieve their military objectives. and if we provided them not only with migs but with the kind of anti-missile defense systems and anti-aircraft systems that they're pleading for, they could help close their own skies. laura . and you think, senator , at this point a peace negotiations which i said in the angle it seems like you don't hear anybody not many in the senate and certainly not biden really indicating that there's much interest in , you know, having this stop tonight like come to an end. the focus is getting the migs or getting the missiles or getting more weaponizes billion dollars here, a billion dollars there. but it looks like they're fairly close to an agreement at

this point. would would you be supportive of that ? i would welcome a peace agreement that stops the bloodshed in ukraine. it's not really for us , though, to negotiate that or certainly to impose upon the ukrainian people. that's a choice for them to be led by president zelenskyy, led by president zelenskyy. but i don't think americans, whether they're in the congress or whether they're in this administration should be dictating those terms. but if president zelenskyy representing the ukrainian people can reach a peace agreement, he needs to do so from a position of strength. that's one reason why he needs these weapons that stops the bloodshed and preserves ukraine's freedom. then i think that would be a welcome development not only for ukraine but for the world. senator , thank you as always for coming on . >> we really appreciate it. and we now turn to a stunning report from newsweek. a russian dissident named vladimir ashokan claims to have obtained leaked letters from an fsb whistleblower saying

the ccp was just months away from launching its own invasion. xi jinping was at least tentatively considering the capture of taiwan in the autumn. there's a colossal power struggle among the party elite, though now after the events in ukraine, this window of opportunity has shot. joining me now is mike pillsbury, director for chinese strategy at hudson and author of the hundred year marathon. mike fox hasn't confirmed the authenticity of these leaks. i have to say someone you and i both know told me something similar a few months ago that the go date would be sometime in autumn. but this could be a smokescreen, correct? yes, that's correct. laura , taiwan itself frequently forecasts the month of april in the month of october are the two most dangerous periods. that's when the sea state is flat in the taiwan strait and the chances of a monsoon or even major thunderstorms are much less so.

we know that beijing does debate what it should do about taiwan if it's going to invade win. so this is the leak, if you will, from the russian intelligence service from a whistle blower inside the russian intelligence service fits in with the idea that taiwan as a topic comes up in beijing sometimes postpone it for two or three years. they're always looking for favorable circumstances. and that's my own worry, laura , is unless we get a peace deal involving russians in ukraine this provides an opportunity for the hawks in beijing to say this is our chance, let's go. yeah. so you take the opposite view of so many in the foreign policy establishment who say, okay, if the u.s. doesn't get more involved and and put putin back on his heels with more weapons and more money off to ukraine, the migs and so forth, china is going to see that as a green light to go into taiwan. i've never agreed with that, but i'd like your thought

on that. well, i agree with the clip you played of ferguson that we need to focus on the makings of a peace deal that's deter xi jinping and the chinese hawks if they see that something's worked out involving neutrality of ukraine or some sort of promise that he will join nato for 10 years, it wasn't he wasn't going to be able to join nato for at least five years anyway because of various conditions that ukraine was not meeting to join nato. so i tend to think that your focus tonight on the idea of what is the contents of a piece agreement that's really quite important. and strangely enough, the chinese are offering to help but their prices are very high. laura , their ambassador wrote an article today saying they'll help with a cease fire but only if the u.s. doesn't sanction china in any way. so they're afraid of sanctions being put on china. yeah, they have the tariff

tariffs lifted, mike . right. that they don't want a trump tariff. they don't want any new tariffs. so again, the longer this goes on in ukraine, the higher the price that ukraine and the west will have to pay for that piece. that's that's my concern, mike , as always saying, you know, we just. all right. well, in a moment, raymond arroyo presents a tale of three presidents. a look at the contrasting styles between biden and zelenskyy plus, what's barack obama up to that seen and unseen. and it is next . everybody thinks the same election of this guy, the same situation. he was a natural or he was on the hunt all the time but became known as the broomstick killer. he's snatching, taking, ducting grabbing women all over this with people beyond anything any

the leader of the nation, to be the leader of the world, beingth the leader of the world meanse to be the leader of this strong is brave and ready to fight fori the mind of his citizens and citizens ofzens the world. >> that's a curious thing there. i mean, god. bless zelenskyy he's facing this putin who is killing civilians. he kills people in his own countryy. he's a b monster. but he's saying here that somehow biden has to be a leader of the world, a citizen of the world. well, no, he just had zelinski is committed to the ukrainian people first. biden needs to be committed to the american ideal and that's what he's doing, promoting peacee hopefully and working for that peace in multiple. so i think we need some clarity here and most americans don't't realize zelenskyy was an actor and comedian who started in a show called servant of

the people. it was about a high school teacher who finds himself president of ukraine, which the actor eventually became. he named political party servant of the people. this iss an amazing example ofng art presaging life watch jamuna oh all all the ukrainians and the whole of our country. we've been f waiting for this so much time. great. an yes.sye stran in some ways laura , the whole story is right there. the u.s. and europe made overtures. putin felt threatened and zelenskyy became the last leaders club. well,th meanwhile, biden>> he's looking more like what anthony hopkins is and the father well, look, he, he was

guess who gets the ten billion dollar contract and all sanctions waived to buildir the iranian nuclear plants? russia it's in the iran nuclear deal . this is mind blowing. what'sin happening so this administration better get its story together with its policy right now they at odds? well, i would take issue with this idea that biden is pursuing peace. i don't i mean, i think he sees he sees what he sees what whatse obama saw in syriaes, which is why he stepped back from the red line, drew the red line. it shouldn't have drawn he because he realized the american people don't want this biden step pean back . i mean, obaman step back and not biden is kind of doingit that same thing. he knows that it's tooet risky o get involved in some, you know, protracted military adventureen and in ukraine he's throwing billions at this thing. but is i have to i applaud his restraint. there are a lototau of peoplest on the left, the right telling him send planes, we've gotsi to do more zelenskyy is doing

the big emotional push. this is soberer states craft if he sticks to the plan.n. but this iran nuclear deal contradictsev everything he's saying. one good bit of news on the ukraine front. pope francis oai had a video cal with patriarch kirill of moscowo who supported putin's invasion. the pope tolde him today war is alwaysto unjust and that they religious leaders must not use the language politics but the language of . he's also doing a big consecration on march twenty fifth, consecrating the country of russia, which is a big deal and an important one . i believe this is the first time and the angerer mangle that raymond arroyo has said said something truly just completely positive about pope francis. so that's not that's not true . i report the truth. finally, if the landscape was looking for a citizen of the world leader, he should have turned on netflix. barack obama is hosting a new documentary called our national parks. oh , nice symmetry glacial big

noww before i read the headline, just know that this is the biden team's big plan to d save democrats ahead of the midterms. okay, readydy harris to become biden roadro warrior. ly she'll be hitting the road more frequently in the coming weeks and months. with covid-19 cases declining, harris will be spending more time crisscrossing the country and touting the successes of the administrationan t with a plan.ni joining me now is tom bevan, co founder and president of real clear politics and mark penn, former clinton strategistst and democratic pollster. tom, your thoughts ofour kamal the road warrior? >> look, this reminds you of 2010. a if you remember barack obama campaigned all across the country in 2010 for four democrats and said, look, if democrats if people just knew what was in the affordable care actd , they would they would appreciate that . they would understand it. obama had much higher approvalor

ratings. kamala harris, he was much more well liked, much more charismatic than kamala harris. and democrats lost six senate seats in 63d de house seats.is so if history is any guide, this plan is not going to work out well for the democrats. >> apparently kamala is going to be touting the success. i'm sorry, mark. i'm going to be touting all the successes of the administration. so what pray tell, are those successes? yeah, well, i think that's a bit of l a problem right now.t look, at least they're getting her out of the white house and getting her on the road to do what the vice president is supposed to do. but with ratings underwaterun on inflation, economy, crime, immigration, it's pretty tough and after all, what democrat is really going to want her coming into the district? give me the ratings of the administration. they'll be running away fromnn from kamala harrisin in their district and tom, what kamala harris said about high gas prices last friday. well, that raised some eyebrows. there is a price to pay for

democracy. got to stand with your friendsli . and as everybody knows, even in your personal life, being loyal to thoselo friendships f based on common principles and values, sometimes it's difficult. tom, americans are being asked to sacrifice for their friends. someone's trying to fill up their ford f one fifty. you know, missouri going to workwo. >> will that work? probably not. and look, the problem for i kamala harris is, you know, she's it's probably 50 50 that she's going to help the administration versus commit a gaffe where which will generate negative publicity for the administration. as i mentioned, her approval ratings are below biden's her favorability ratings are below 40%. and so she's just not that good of a communicator and this is what the administration has

left. i mean, theoretically i think it's it's good forthod her to pursue get out around the country. but at the same time, i'm justs not sure it's going to do what the democrats need to do. your being very charitable tonight . >> tom, i read your twitter feed. all right, markit, there's beene tweets that have had to bets deleted right, because she keeps getting this mixed up or a staffer keeps getting it mixed up that ukraine is not a member of nato.he that's the whole point here. liketo they wanted to be a memr of natoms that russia claims that freaked them out, et cetera, et cetera. so she had to tweet something linking the two, then she had to delete it about her trip to poland. okay, so that's that happened and then she gets caught againar in this nightmarish situation where that's then the news cycle for the next twenty four hours. ts if the vice president doesn't know the basic facts of the ukrainian situation when we're talking about migsinll

and more weapons and billions of dollars. what does that say ises t that y there's a keg's of this in her office? another staffer, sabrina, saying i guess is leaving as well. >> no, look, this vices president has a lot of problems. she needs a reset or reboot and maybe getting out there will enable her to try to get that. but but so far, you know, she's gotten really terrible ratings on almost all the issues she's taken on . and so she's got tosh if she's going to ben the democratic nominee in aly couple of years, which i think is more likely than not in a lot of ways she's going to have to kind of do a reset kind ofan show which is really aboutpl and impress some people. and you know what if she doesn't press people in thein midterms and more, this midterms are likely to beer pretty brutal for democrats unless some things really change here. i don'tth see how she's being t up for success coming out ofs he the midterms either. she's going to go into a lot of districts that may fail and she's going to be blamed for the midtermste. this is a mounting set of problems here that she's got to

overcome. noww she does for midterm candidates what she's done for the border. you know, it seems like we're in quite a bit of trouble. gentlemen, great to see you. all tonight . thank you . and we're not done yet with a bizarre comments she made at isay equality event tonight's last fight modern media is proud to bring you this . she's a hero moment. one day she'll change the world. i grew up wanting to go into medicine. we're trained for anything that comes out. she'll make a difference. there was no playbook so we became innovators to work in this game. i told myself i've come to the store. she'll be there. we need her . we're always working as a team . she can change the world if you can see her you can be her . this was when i noticed how white my sinuses were and how yellow mine were and i

needed to make a change. my smiles yellowish or dingy and it definitely made me self-conscious. i can't imagine become younger but i can certainly look younger and i'm doing that with a smile after introducing smile activity lightning breakthrough that gets your teeth white and keeps them white. i eat the blueberries, i drink the coffee

>> speaking of women's soccer players today. kamala harris offered a new definition of what it means to be a winner. >> vice president harris: how do you define the win, right? the score is certainly one. to this point and megan's point, anything that is about a fight for equality, the win includes that you fought, part of defining the win. >> wow, that is profound. trophies for trying, the ethos of the biden administration. don't forget to set your dvr,

stay connected. get freedom matters gear, everyone loves the trucker hats made in usa for samaritan's purse this month. they are doing wonderful work in ukraine supporting orphans there and refugee necessary real trouble. please go to the website. it is america now and forever gutfeld next, a live report first. >> carley: a fox news alert, residential buildings in kyiv burning to the ground, claiming more innocent lives and leaving thousands homeless. russian troops building in mariupol. the word children seen written in russian outside the building in this satellite image before the attack. i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. vladamir putin signalling his regime could become more repress itch as he
