fellow ukrainians. be safe and be well. we're following a lot of developments including tomorrow, the important call that the president has with president xi jinping of china. the word has gone out, don't think about helping the russians. certainly militarily and certainly not economically either. so how will that go? more on that tomorrow. "the five" is now. ♪ ♪ >> greg: i am greg gutfeld along with judge jeanine pirro, jesse watters, dagen mcdowell, this is "the five." >> ireland and great britain and you know, the republic standing together against a murderous dictator. a pure thug waging world war

against the people of ukraine. >> greg: that was president biden going after vladimir putin as russia launches more attacks against the billionaire targets, like the theater that was bombed with women and children inside. there are signs that the stalled invasion is dampening morale in the russian army. 7,000 russian troops have been killed in less than three weeks of fighting, while losses met in his armies get bogged down, putin is lashing out and threatening to purge his country. >> interpreter: many people and even more so the russian people will always be able to distinguish pure patriots from traders and be able to spit them out like a fly in the mouth. i am sure that the necessary cleansing of the country -- go >> greg: like aging, diehard villain >> unrelenting chilling has

resulted in a massive fire in a town on the side of ukraine on the border of russia. it was one of the first to get hit when the russians invaded by the ukrainians have been holding their ground but that has resulted in the russian forces using long-range weapons, like artillery. another town to the south has been pummeled, to the coast of as a peer that is where a bomb shelter, theater that was being used as a bomb shelter was hit overnight. officials say they cannot determine the extent of the casualties but that town has been without food, without water, without power for days. the casualties are so severe they resorted to using masked maids. over the last few days we've seen civilians have been able to get out. in the city of to the north of

kiev, it's a little to the northeast of the capital city, one of the towns the russian forces had to come through as they were coming south to kiev but they've been unable to control this town. there were also unable to move forward in a circle here. we see russian armor digging into defensive position. the video we got us from the russian ministry of defense. it shows checkpoints but it also shows these tanks and fighting vehicles moving into the trench is the russian forces are digging instead of moving forward. intelligence has determined the russian forces are stalled outside of the major population centers out here. >> greg: thank you, be safe. judge, russia, we heard some pretty bad news but at the same time russia was supposed to take kiev in days. they've stalled, it's three weeks, their troop deaths are in the thousands. the surviving ones are demoralized. are we starting to shift, can we

be somewhat measured and optimistic? or, i don't know. it just seems like something is happening. >> judge jeanine: something is happening and i feel every american is thinking of because of the passions of yesterday, because of the video yesterday, because now we see putin for what he is. he's talking about his own people being and traders and he wants to purge his country of those people. you say the word purge in europe when there are sirens going off, missiles and bombs going off, it is too reminiscent of 1939, '40, '41. now the world recognizes he is an animal, he needs to be taken out whether it is by his own people or whomever makes that decision, but he is not winning. his were not what he thought they were, firing his intelligence because they did not get this thing right in the world is turning against russia.

i am really sad, when i listen to president biden and he says he is a traitor, were criminal, this and that. what took you so long, favorite nation status. we are in a week number 42 now, so all in all, i think the ukrainians may win. >> greg: geraldo, we were talking about this in the green room. one of the signs of me for optimism is how putin is acting. he's trying to reset a war in the middle of the war, which is not a strategy. it just seems like he knows, the reshuffling at the top, in trouble. >> geraldo: i think he's in trouble, but we are in trouble because he is becoming irrational and anyone who is not creeped out by his talk, as the judge suggests, of purges and spitting in their faces and traders and we will get them, this is a person who is being devoured by paranoia. he's watching his back, he's

lashing out. he has lost three or 42 general officers in combat. that is unheard of. he's lost 7,000 troops minimum so far. that is what we lost in 20 years in iraq and afghanistan together. so i believe the more trouble -- this is the problem. to me, the more trouble in the mark warner putin believes he is, the more irrational he will be and i thi- let me put it at the level of possibility -- that he will unleash a single tactical nuclear weapon, aim it at a field someplace just to remind people that you are not messing -- i used to think that pakistan was most dangerous country on earth because they had nukes and they had crazy people around the center of power. but pakistan is nothing compared to russia. russia has, what, 6,000 of them?

i feel at one point feeling optimistic about zelensky and the ukrainians. on the other hand, because of that, i'm worried about what this crazy person will do. >> greg: isn't it funny that you and i have kind of switched because that is what i was saying three weeks ago when you were saying what i was saying. how do we know what is true? i think the one big difference here is that this is the first time putin has had integration with economic consequences. he is on a broken economy come up against an enemy on their home field graced with america's latest weapons. he's the visiting team that is broke. >> dagen: it's not broken up and it's not sanctioned enough. oil and natural gas out of russia is still flowing and based on the most stark estimates, more than half of the previous exports will continue to hit the market, so we have

only sanctioned roughly 40% of russia's economy or gross domestic products. 60% that we haven't hit through sanctions. we need to hit every possible area of it including the banks and energy. energy is still not included in the financial sanctions. i will just point to one, visa and mastercard pulled out of russia and russia turned to china and is turning to union pay. why haven't we sanctioned union pay? i know we will get to that in a later blog. to putin, and i don't mean to channel or even try to channel a tyrant and this horrifically violent man but if you are in the nuclear standoff, crazy is what it requires because if putin was acting rationally, than the west wouldn't think he was capable, potentially, of using a nuclear weapon. he is trying to bluff, essentially.

so putin doesn't want us to use all our firepower and force. so it's important that the west thinks he might launch a nuke and a lot of what he says he just sounds like stalin. this is the soviet leader i don't think the united states or the west understood or we miscalculated. you have to go after your own people, throw them in prison or even murder them if they are against your policies, to make the empire stronger. and in terms of, we thought he was just this rich oligarch with the most expensive house in the world and he just wanted to retire to a cushy life, we wildly underestimated what his intentions were, and it was to rebuild the soviet empire for even czarist russia. >> greg: jesse, how do you feel about this? >> neil: i am with dagen. it was a stolen statement, warning to russians that the purges going to be within

russia. stalin kind of elbowed his place in the power and he gave it a few years to shake out and it didn't go so well so there were rumblings that he was going to take stalin out. then there was this mysterious assassination with stolen organized, and then the show trials. the imprisoned people, tortured them, got fake confessions and put them on trial and executed them in the square, then sent them to a good log and had them work or killed in the gulags. and it didn't stop there. it stopped not after the bolsheviks were murdered. they went after the intelligentsia, they went after peasants, mass executions of the red army when things weren't going so well. and that is i think what he is telegraphing. he doesn't want to hear any people call him out about how this war is going in russia, and i think he almost killed a million people, stolen, so we should be worried --

's before it was more than that. >> dagen: it was 25 million executed or in prison. >> jesse: okay, exactly. in a weird way some russians actually think the purge, the great purge was a good thing. other people disagree, obviously. and some people think it consolidated the russian sponsor's nationality and passion. >> geraldo: i didn't mean to interrupt. did i interrupt you? >> jesse: no. >> geraldo: good. it has taken putin three weeks to unmake modern russia. in three weeks he has destroyed russia as a modern, progressive, forward-looking, included, relatively democratic country. he has destroyed modern russia. >> jesse: true. >> greg: is a pariah now. that is why i think even if he is able to declare some kind of victory he's actually toast. if he remains the face of

russia, russia is excluded from the rest of the world, all the places like china will always come back because they want the money. i had come of the media lapping up biden's talking points to pass the buck on surging gas prices. ♪ ♪ ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. we gotta tell people that liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need, and we gotta do it fast.

an urgent moment. >> judge jeanine: and while americans feel the pain in their pockets every time they go to fill up their tanks, the media is thrilled the president gave them someone else to blame. >> can we have an honest conversation about gas prices is distorted to the point of being divisive. >> higher gas prices is a small price to pay compared to what ukrainians are going through. >> many politicians act as though it's president biden who caused inflation and he can fix it. he did not cause the war, which caused prices to search. >> putin price hike. >> putin price hike is a great way to message it. >> judge jeanine: if ever there were a question about whether or not the mainstream media is the trumpet for the left and for the biden administration, you just saw it. everything that biden says, they

say. the reason gas prices are going up is because of ukraine. it's all about the war. but americans aren't that stupid, they put gas in their tanks, they know what they paid before the war. >> greg: they are trying to ban domestic drilling as they say it is a putin price hike. that is like kicking someone in the head and blaming it on the donkey down the road. no, the price tag is a consequence of biden inflation. how do you know that? because oil isn't the only thing going up. baby food, bacon, furniture, bedding, watches, jewelry. that is all going up. if it was gas you could say there may may become of this, that and the other. no, it's all of these things. but the weirdest contradiction is that the dems are blaming putin for gas inflation but they already wanted it to go up. shouldn't they be thanking him for helping reduce our carbon emissions? because after all, it was russia who infiltrated the green groups to get us off our domestic oil

and buy their foreign oil. it was the radical green agenda that ended up working for putin. they were putin's puppet the whole time. although celebrities that were telling us how bad fracking was and how bad the pipe lines were, they were being funded by russia. it's amazing! >> judge jeanine: if they were being funded by russia has anyone given thought to the fact that this war, if you want to talk about carbon emissions, talk about the bombs, the buildings, the nuclear sites. >> jesse: something john kerry with a -- >> judge jeanine: carbon emissions, real problem going on, the war. maybe we should have gotten earlier and ended it. >> jesse: stop global warming, stop the war. thank you, secretary gary. i filled up my tank in new jersey. well, i didn't do it, the guy did it because you're not allowed to do it there. and it's a big tank so it took a while. >> judge jeanine: what do you have, and escalate? >> jesse: yes. >> geraldo: you have an escalade?

>> jesse: don't laugh, geraldo! a man of the people. you have a bentley. you've never even pumped your own gas, geraldo. i point to the price and say, how did you guys set that? it is that $4.30 this morning. he says, i get a phone call every morning from the president. i say, does rex tillerson call you, this big oil baron. as geraldo would say. he says no, my uncle called me and he tells me. i say, oh, your uncle owns the shop. your uncle sets the price every day? he says the oil price is about 50% for the other 50% my uncle tells me. i said, get your uncle on the phone. he picks up his phone and his uncle gets on the phone. and i said, how do you set the price? he says, who is this? jesse, never mind. he said, we almost went out of business the last two years. the price of oil was really low, no one was driving because of covid.

we almost went bankrupt. i almost had to sell the business. i said, okay, now that things are back how do you set the price? he said, i don't even know what the price is going to be. i don't know if russia is winning, losing, i don't know if covid is coming back, so we keep it here. i go, all right. he says, i don't even want it too high. if it gets too high that no one comes in and fills up their tank. i want it lower but i have to make a living. i go, now i have to go make a living, i have to go back to new york. but it's not a conspiracy, geraldo. >> geraldo: the price is set by his neighbor, though. he looks over and says, what is he going to do? $4.29. he's going to put $4.28. that is the american way. i think competition will set the price -- >> dagen: that's not what you said yesterday. >> geraldo: let me say one thing about the green energy business, they are i wish they would justshut up.

they are right about green energy into electric vehicles and everything, just shut up. let the world evolve into the brave new situation. but the more you stick it, especially now when people are really hurting at the pump and elsewhere and there is a war raging, the more you stick it to them, green energy, green energy, the less relevant you seem, to me. it marginalizes your movement to talk about it at exactly the wrong moment. >> judge jeanine: not only that, dagen, you've got to transition. what are you going to do, shut down everything that is a combustible engine or oil and gas and go right to green energy? how do you do that? they don't have a plan. >> dagen: they don't have a plan and to put an exclamation point on the murano see if they are green agenda, it is called global warning as in the globe and the world, they want us to not drill, not explore, not e natural gas, but overseas,

saudi arabia, venezuela and even around to keep pumping. oh baby, pump some more. but that has no net effect on global warming because derek over there is the same as a derrick over here except our production is much more energy efficient -- >> judge jeanine: and cleaner for the environment. >> dagen: said that is the idiocy of that. geraldo, i said something about you on the air this morning and i will say it to your face. >> geraldo: oh, no. did you hurt my feelings? >> dagen: when you talked about gouging the fat cat oil baron. i said, wake rip van winkle up, it's the 21st century. >> geraldo: i stand by my statement. >> dagen: listen to me, to jesse's point -- before i'm not saying -- >> dagen: saying -- >> dagen: no, i'm saying the service stations, the big oil, they don't own the service

allegations that russia as china for financial and military assistance to help russia with its illegal war with ukraine. both beijing and moscow denying this report of real russian collusion but biden is still warning of severe consequences for china if it tries to bail out putin. these high-stakes talks coming his worries grow that china might be taking those from russia when it comes to expanding territory to listen to this. >> i think what is going on right now is china is literally taking notes on everything that is happening with china and ukraine. this is a parallel situation if they ever decided to go to taiwan. they are watching very closely how the world reacts. >> i am clear that a xi jinping in the military leadership is watching every single move. >> taiwan is certainly watching and i'm confident that xi jinping is watching what is going on in ukraine but he's watching us sit at a table in vienna while the russians are killing innocent women and

children. >> geraldo: it seems to me, it looks like china is playing both sides. they are playing russia, helping rush of the more desperate they get, the more china will give them a helping hand. on the other hand they want the united states and the rest of the world to say no, china's pragmatic, china is practical, they are good business people. they are playing us, they are playing both sides against the middle. >> judge jeanine: i think they are playing us -- first of all, they never condemned the invasion by putin, that is number one. number two they consistently call the invasion some kind of military, i'm not sure -- >> geraldo: special operation. >> judge jeanine: yes. this week they called it a war. so now you see that china is starting to recognize that the world is starting to go against russia, and i think that china has to realize that it is going to be sanctioned as well, economically, and it will suffer and it will suffer if the united states acts quicker than it has done as it relates to

ukraine because china is our number one trading partner in terms of export or import, i have the chart here. we got a lot of it. china is walking a tight rope, not just wondering what the united states is going to do, they've already got the methods. china is a force for bad. they want to invade taiwan, they want to be able to survive economically. they don't believe in democracy. they parroted the talking points of the russians that the reason for the invasion of ukraine was because the bio labs or because of nato and military buildup. >> geraldo: judge mentioned taiwan. isn't taiwan the parallel? russia believes ukraine is part of russia. china believes taiwan is part of china. russia invaded ukraine, now china can invade taiwan. are you worried? >> jesse: no, they are not that stupid. that would be suicide, even

worse than what russia has committed. taiwan is like the world's greatest chip manufacturer appeared to think the world economy is bad now? this is just ukraine. this is some high tech stuff that everybody needs, so if they go in there you are going to have an economic recession, you've never seen the likes of that. their economies already starting to slow down and they are a little bit worried about it so i don't think they will make that move but we should just arm them to the teeth already. don't wait until it's too late. >> greg: taiwan? >> jesse: yet. don't wait until it's too late. don't give them any ideas. it was too late with ukraine, i would load it up right now and get the package out the door. >> geraldo: do you think china is an honest broker? do they want peace on earth or do they want the communist world to triumph? >> dagen: they want communism to triumph. they have a propaganda machine

that rivals, is even better than russia's. they've got a million, 2 million uighurs in concentration camps. the west won't turn against china. the western companies turned against russia because it was expendable. it's the 11th largest economy in the world. you have seen companies and corporate executives, the nba falling all over themselves to make sure you can't insult china. you jeopardize our business there. one thing china has probably learned watching what russia is doing to ukraine if they want to take taiwan come it's going to be done in the dark. it will be a black ops a deal, it's going to be a black ops operation. they will take sure the rest of the world cannot see what is going on in taiwan. but biden, we call it a showdown. it's a laydown. he hasn't even stood up -- although biden lied about it.

he hasn't stood up and said to xi, you got into the bottom of the origins of covid and what about a second plague, the fennel plague you have unleashed on the united states? almost a million people dead here. >> geraldo: do you want to talk about that? >> dagen: yeah, i want him to talk about all of it. >> geraldo: in the in the war. it's a lot. >> dagen: all of its appearance before greg, what do you think? west markham would ask you a quick question. do you think china really as russia do not invade until the olympics were over? >> greg: it's a very on the nose type of story so i am a little spectacle, skeptical but i like the story. here's a better answer to that, they didn't think it was going to be a big deal, they thought it was going to be a simple fling. pruden was going to do thing like crimea, it would be over, no big deal. now china has buyer's remorse. they didn't count on global
