being with us very you make the show possible. please stay with the fox news channel for the latest on the russian invasion of ukraine. is vladimir going to use indiscriminate bombing of men, women, and children flex i hope not and pray. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham is up next. ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham with a jampacked ingraham angle tonight from washington. let's dive right in. the escalation caucus, that is the focus of tonight angle. i want to clue you in on something. earlier today "the ingraham angle" yielded inquiry both perplexing and revealing from our dear friends at newsweek. apparently as intrepid reporter some fellow named gerard based in the uk was stunned that the angle had the nerve to raise

questions about the wisdom of sending the soviet era migs fro poland to ukraine. what did she mean by this? what part of this is confusing. escalating the conflict doesn't just mean more russian troops would die, it means more ukrainian civilians could die a well. now, if putin is clearly the megalomaniac that many of meet him out to be commit than he knows how he would respond to america engineering that made transfer, but the unknowns are part of every work about which is why every step must be carefully gamed out the questions didn't stop there. laura also opposed the claims made by tom cotton and mitt romney on the importance of doing this. what did she believe could happen and how could things escalate? as far as opposing those two,

big deal, we love tom cotton, but does newsweek only approve of certain republicans opposing other republicans? after all, the press corps has hot affair going on with lisa cheney and adam ca figure. our so-called reporters really this lost? hooton's entire justification has been concern about nato encroachment toward racha. it would seem logical to send migs into the ukraine could giv him see i told you so moment. so why is it unreasonable to posit at this real possibility? answer, it's not very in fact, it's the responsible thing to do . the question we shoot right bac to newsweek is a simple one, wh aren't people who call themselves real reporters askin

the uncomfortable questions? didn't they learn anything from the last time they threw in wit the warhol consensus? i should know, i was one of those people who reflexively joined the wage war at any cost bandwagon after 9/11. anyone else feel like this is kind of a back to the future moment at this point? >> why do you feel like the wes is not completely embracing tha in saying this is the war and w need to get into a. >> they're are still other options on the table. why go back? >> laura: the department of war it nbc-tv impressed jen psaki yesterday. >> there is a growing course that i say now is the time. has the president really reconsidered his stance at all? >> they have several squadron o vision capable aircraft. that are not being utilized for

this is the assessment by our defense department. >> if i were i would appeal to americans, anything to get more weapons and buy more time. i get it. his assault on civilians is pur evil, we all see a. so the zelenskyy call for annuitize fly zone is understandable, but when american politicians try to use this sending makes to ukraine a some kind of witness test for patriotism, we find it repugnant , as if anyone trying to pretend that none of this poses a massive and potential risk to america. to get your telling me logistically, that's what standing between innocent babie and mothers and ukraine? we can't get debts to pilots wh are able to fly them. >> i feel fully committed doing everything in our power to help the people of ukraine against the monstrous actions of vladimir putin.

that means getting the people o ukraine migs they would need to fight and shoot down some of their russian aircraft rafiki history warns us if we don't ac now and if we don't act strongly , he keep military strategist who specialize in battlefield tactics and game ou every move and every step of th way they asked serious question like will migs actually helped turn the tide in ukraine and ca ukraine even maintain these older fighter planes, or is the media's position that it's better to consider these issues after we have spent billions replacing the poland migs. now, this been this later approach is how the u.s. ended up without a victory in iraq an in an embarrassing defeat in afghanistan. we spent trillions, we lost thousands of our brave troops, we will ask contractors and hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians to fight a war that created an exodus of iraqi

christians in also the rise of isis. saddam was gone, a great thing, but much of iraq was as well. a total nightmare. this is precisely the time, now is the time for vigorous and open debate. one voice that should be heard is that of u.s. navy reserve officer who writes in foreign policy that most of ukraine's fighter aircraft are still in the fight, flying approximately 5-10 missions per day using a pool of about 50 jets. russian aircraft are flying nearly to hundred missions per day, but keeping their planes primarily within russian airspace. both sides are likely exercisin extreme caution to avoid ground based air defense system. giving this knowledge, air superiority assets would not immediately improve the ukraine military situation. there's more, the poland migs are decades old and many we're

hand-me-downs when they receive their peer dividers, especially older ones require considerable maintenance as well as an insured pipeline of spare parts ammunition. the capability to disdain those extra aircraft in the ukraine i unclear. so asking how soviet era migs will hold up against your russi debts with advanced capabilitie as an entire nutley rational question. so why is the establishment so afraid to answer it? why are they afraid to even allow the question to be asked at all? but, there is at least one democrat who dared to raise a legitimate point. washington congressman and chai of the house arms committee sai the mig wouldn't last a second in ukrainian airspace right now. maybe he's right, maybe he's not , but the american people must be told that the risks of

escalating things with russia are not negligible. it may in fact draw us even closer to a direct confrontatio with russia, which as we all know is a nuclear power. is this what americans really want? if not, isn't it incumbent upon the elective representatives to stop and do a meaningful risk-benefit analysis? as for the laptop worriers at newsweek, perhaps they wouldn't be writing for a digital only publication if the writers had the ability or the desire to step back from the unfolding tragedy, as horrific as it is, and identify all the parties wh are prolonging a war where ther are no winners. oh, and was forgot, he only reached out to us for comment less than 20 minutes before he published his silly little piec about us. at 7:00 a.m. such as journalism in 2022. fifth-grade antics, fourth-grad

intellect. and that's the angle. joining me now is daniel davis, a senior fellow at defense priority. lieutenant colonel davis, there are only a few people and the media actually raising any questions about the practical reality here. political defense reporter aske on twitter who are the ukrainia pilots that will fly them. do we know their capabilities? i ask you, do we know that answer tonight? >> we don't, there is so many questions we don't know. man, i agreed with everything you just said. you late the situation out so clearly. i would just add on a couple of issues which it really highlights even more why this i not such a good idea. vladimir putin not just might view this in a negative way, bu he has expressly said, vladimir putin himself that if any natio since fighter jets into the airspace of ukraine and those

jets attack russians, he will consider that country to be a participant in the war and will act properly and will may be attacked that airfield bird that's what you sow poland when they were talking about sending these things over said okay how about we send them over to germany and you guys can becaus they don't want their airfield attacked. justifiably so because anything that does that possibility of triggering the article five and you may have a war with the united states and russia. nato and russia, and there is absolutely nothing in providing these migs that is worth the possibility that the united states could than be in a war and instead of just the tragedy in ukraine you've described so welcome it now it may be in warsaw or slovakia, or god for bid at nuclear attack on the united states. nothing is worth that. >> laura: there is a american who owns mig 19 or maybe 29, he

told nbc news this. may be the only individual to own mig 29 he said they could eliminate the jets from the battlefield in a single shot fo there are russian fighters i could see those mig 29's from three times farther away. again, lieutenant colonel, you're the expert here, but tha seems like a big deal, or am i wrong? >> that is exactly right. even on the practical coming yo know that russia antiaircraft capability is going to be watching all of their radars ar going to be looking for it righ those things might get shot dow before the evil land in ukrainian airspace. they will be a target. that's the reason you have this fragile large fleet of ukrainia fighters right now that aren't getting in the air. 5-10 per day as you just mentioned there a second ago because they know they can't ge them up. what is 20 more aircraft if you

can't fly? how will that help anybody? that is a huge risk that could extend war and on the other sid there's very little tactical upside. it's not a good idea, it's not smart, and we shouldn't do it. >> someone like mitt romney perhaps or michael call might say you are playing into putin' hand by analyzing it this way. you're allowing him to call every tone. america withers on the world scene and that emboldens the chinese to do whatever they're going to do with taiwan. how do you respond to that? >> i say, you know what, this i actually looking at reality. you can't make policies based o what you wish was true. raised in what we hoped would b the case. we would like to have ukraine have the jets and they have a difference, the reality is you're talking from these experts, they are telling you it's not going to make a difference and it's going to ad a risk. i don't care what putin thanks or what he threatens or anythin

else, it it is not based on reality, it's going to help the united states. him all about taking risks, i did it in combat and i advocate this and this doesn't have a chance of success. >> also we didn't even get to tonight whether it enhances america security. that's another thing. in a very important conversatio tonight. actually asking the questions many of which were not asked th last time we got going on a war in 2003. we appreciate it. thank you. they are allowing themselves with the media to draw closer t work, but who are they. 75 percent sub supporting helping ukraine without risking war with russia. further, 54 percent support the nato decision not to impose a

no-fly zone over ukraine. joining me now is ron greenwald going back to what i said in th angle, i'm sure you're not surprised that newsweek sends this reporter, i don't even hav any idea who this guy is based in uk, 20 minutes before they publish the article, he tries t get in touch with me or fox. moshe is disagreeing with mitt romney and tom cotton on the importance of these migs, y. it's pretty obvious why. escalation comes with risk and it's important to note that and actually weigh the benefits and the risks in any situation before you embark on it. >> as you said, this is journalism in 2022, there are n standards or ethics. a lot of their readers want the to lie to them or about their enemies as long as it advances the cause. the more interesting question a the fact that had you also pointed to, there is very littl

debate over something this cataclysmic potentially in the u.s. congress. i haven't seen the two parties united in log steps to this extent since the days after 9/11 . i think that lockstep unity produced a lot of bad outcomes. it's generally a bad thing. we should be experiencing discomfort whenever they two parties are incomplete unity because it signifies not rational thought that has led t a common consensus, but i kind of moral coercion that politicians sense and feel like they need to embrace a narrativ about questioning it because as you know well and i do to, any questioning of the current consensus in washington subject you to being a russian agent, obviously if you're an elected leader or anyone you don't want that said about you. it's working to prevent the questioning we need and the debate we need to. >> we just went through this self reflective moment post-

iraqi war and afghanistan and then five minutes later commit where back to the same scenario. here just rushing in to make these broad pronouncements. you literally feel like you're living in an insane asylum. we're doing the same thing, we aren't yet, but there are many who want us to do this very sam thing again. >> it's not just the same tactics, the same rhetorical tactics. back then the i idea was if you question the war on terror, it meant your patriotism was imbued , you were an ally of the terrorist, and that's the same rhetoric. the amazing thing is it's the same people. you know, all of these back the were doing this and made themselves the enemy of the country. at the second term, our back in the saddle doing it on behalf o democrats on their cable networks.

people have no historical memory , they cheer for these people because they rehabilitated themselves by opposing trump and that's all they know, it's like the neocon have become the most influentia force again in american foreign policy. >> some of us evolved of those first few years of the iraq war. i want to play something that the secretary of state was aske today. >> while putin is in power can there be no relations between russia and the united states? >> again, our focuses on ending this war. i don't want to speculate about the future, but there's going t have to be one way or another accountability for this war of aggression. >> what was your take on that answer? >> what kind of accountability can you do. the reality is the general war crimes prosecution switches and the air are generally only for weaker countries. the united states would never

make its leaders available for work crimes for invading iraq without a cause, for destroying that country, for bombing civilians. though i think it reflects the question and the answer, the reality that a lot of us kind o opposed russia gate because it was obviously a cia attempt to manufacture a scandal against a president they disliked, the much more significant in severe danger was the creative climate where americans and russians couldn't talk, they couldn't have diplomatic relations. americans we're trained once again to hate rush out for this grave enemy which they're not and i think we see the results now where there's no diplomacy between the two, there is all kinds of animosity and distrust. that's what the helped bring about this war in its make it difficult to solve it diplomatically. >> laura: and certainly driving putin into resident xi' arms. the people with the migs, they never want to talk about that. they say that's beside the point

. how is that beside the point. it could change the entire politics of the united states, but they don't want to talk about that. it's insane. >> if you go and look at 30, 40 50 years of foreign policy experts across the spectrum the say the u.s. can't do is drive russia into the arms of china and that's what we're doing now. >> glenn, great to see you tonight. speaking of media collusion, is there a more egregious example to discredit reporting on hunte biden's laptop from 2020? >> u.s. authorities are seeing if those e-mails we just talked about are connected to an ongoing russian disinformation efforts. >> it is so obviously a russian operation, it is so obviously a story created by the trump campaign. >> [inaudible reporter question] >> yes, yes, yes.

>> now that biden is in office the authenticated the e-mails found on the hunter laptop. didn't see this coming. joining us now is kelly yan conway. the intentional suppression of this was a total disgrace. and may have had serious electoral consequences. your reaction to this tonight? >> it was clearly election interference hunter biden was under attack inquiry by the obama biden department of justice. so somebody should be a little more than curious, perhaps even suspicious if something that appears to be hunter biden's laptop suddenly appears and there are e-mails on there that could in fact be comports with the broader investigation which had to do with allegations of

foreign money laundering, so i think the incurious was the key. now come, with russia collusion the conclusion collusion was th conclusion, they said we will produce the evidence and a time and the future. with this they had the evidence and just suppressed it completely. it's important for the reason you just noted, 16 percent of biden voters from 2020 have tol pollsters they would have chang their vote had they known this was true and had they known the extent of it. let's not let the new york time and their friends in the media off the hook too much. the story today was not about his laptop, they did not say we're sorry, it was. in about the 27th paragraph and a story about hunter underpayin up a one million-dollar tax liability, but still facing federal charges while his fathe is now part of the department o justice. when i was in the white house, they asked me to be fired under

the hatch act because i had committed such crimes. i committed such crimes is saying cory booker sounds like hallmark card than the u.s. senator running for president. fact checked true. i had said elizabeth warren spent years appropriating somebody else's ethnicity and pretended she was native american. so fire her. this is serious stuff. i think if people i know, if people have had the information it would have mattered. it still should matter. it should matter, this insists on. >> laura: the china aspect, the russia aspect, it stinks to high heaven. they knew it and that's why the suppressed it. we can't forget who started the whole russian disinformation thing. here is a political piece that started it all, more than 50 former senior intel officials outlined their that the recent

disclosures of e-mails has all the classic earmarks of russian disinformation operation. how many times do we go down this road with our intel agency turning on the american people which is what this was? they were turning on regular citizens because they didn't want them to know period. >> and they always find signed these letters by abundant hidin behind their nature titles up around that same time, npr said they weren't going to cover the story of the laptop because the were going to waste time on something that wasn't news. cnn said this is a right-wing media machine at work. they key here is that joe biden wasn't mentioned by by hunter i these e-mails. we ought to know more about tha if the guy as president of the united states. >> great to see you as always tonight. thank you for being with us. seven breaking news about the meeting between china and russi about what is happening in

ukraine. greg, what can you tell us. >> that news jurors crossed the line and the last hour or so. the russia ambassador to china meeting with the foreign ministry official. of course, where china falls on this war by russia against ukraine is critical and it's of course comes in advance of the telephone call scheduled for tomorrow between president bide and chinese president xi jinping , so a lot of people watching that. that as this war, as this invasion goes into its fourth week in kyiv, the capital city of this country getting blasted. in discriminant artillery fire, the suburbs pounded, the russia military just seems to be sitting on the outskirts and starting another siege of the city. meanwhile, a possible small miracle in the city of marable,

some survivors were pulled out of a theater which had been turned into a shelter, but hundreds of civilians, includin children were just hit by russian strikes. again, the siege of that city continues and experts say that the russians could go in for th kill in just a couple of days there. another another 21 killed, just one of many hotspots. having said that, three weeks and going into four weeks since the invasion, experts are very impressed by the performance of the ukrainian military using arms, not just coming from the united states, but from other nato allies. they have killed in three weeks time 7,000 russian soldiers. one final note or, the state department confirms that an american citizen was killed on thursday, and again in the city of attorney fear he has lived here for a while, he is a professor.

according to relatives, he was killed by a russian sniper standing in redline. this thing is touching everybody . >> as greg just mentioned at th top of the report, president writing is meeting with xi tomorrow after chinese and russian officials met today. joining us now is the former deputy of defense. when i think of biting meeting with xi, i think my instant reaction and perhaps it's not fair is that nothing good is coming out of that given what happened in the past. including the potential militar supplies, i think the broader

point here with the biden administration was certainly reporting that at least in the state department or other parts of the ministration want to mak this about trying to pry china away towards us and this would be an historic error, the real threat to as here sure commit russia has launched an invasion but it is one tenth the economy of china. there is nothing that has changed, if anything the threat might have increased given the amount of focus going on in europe right now pride we have to keep that in mind in which i do worry about in this and from the ministration is a sort of notion that if china says the right words and may be kind of mouse right things at the un an diplomatic policies, will take it as a a win intake or ball of the eye off the ball the china. that would be a huge mistake. >> laura: they talk about mutual respect. then when you read their real spin from the global times, and their house media organs, it's always the most nasty negative

view of their position and the world, and basically saying hands off, don't even think about influencing si in taiwan or interfering with our interna affairs. how they treat the religious minorities and the like. >> she has been in for five years in a teenager and the cave , he may not be perfectly by the global times, but it's probably closer to his real thinking. the thing we've got to bear in mind is what they say on the formal diplomatic stage is not reflection of what they're really thinking or what they're really going to do. with got to be clear about that. >> great to see you thank you. during the campaign, he claimed the buck stops here, so a few months later, how is that holding up. gas prices, inflation, steadily rising since he took office but with the war in ukraine, they suddenly had a scapegoat, didn' they. it didn't stop there, the administration is bracing for a

mass migration event joining us now is stephen miller, former senior advisor to president trout. even, without taking accountability here, having any accountability for their own actions, they are going to continue to inflict pain on the american people by not enforcin our border period in their blaming the end of covid policy? >> it's an entire voluntary choice on their part which make it all the more outrageous. president trump clicked into place a series of policies to ensure swift order returns and deportations. at the centerpiece of that in 2020 was the authority titled 42 . the administration has voluntarily planning to rip out this policy in to let even more illegal immigrants into the country. they cannot blame russia or vladimir putin or anybody else for this, they are willfully

destroying our border because they want to. >> the white house sent fox about the border, we are doing our due diligence to prepare fo potential changes at the border. this administration is working to restore fairness and humanit to our. good government apparently mean open borders. >> and they are in the process right now of figuring out how they can get all of the illegal aliens that will be arriving into a city near you as quickly as possible. the only plan that is taking place and the white house and i dhs is they are going to find volunteers and nongovernmental organizations and federal workers to take the illegal immigrants and put them in ohio or wisconsin and bring them to indiana and every other state and the country. that the only planning they are doing. they speak to the american people like we are fools, like

we are idiots and we can't see what's happening with our own eyes. its propaganda, but it's cheap pathetic propaganda at that. >> so putin is solely to blame for the rising gas prices and the end of covid is to blame fo the border. >> it's spring's fault, it's th weather's fault for it it's the position of the planets in relation to the sun that's ultimately who is to blame for it. >> when the ukraine story is critically important as it is. it is important. you notice how the border reporting is kind of faded into the background. only our country, no big deal. >> it's not by accident. the administration is doing a truly horrendous job in europe, they knew for months in advance about the invasion, their strategy was a catastrophic failure, but it can't be denied that they are talking endlessly about ukraine and only ukraine because if nothing else, it provides a chance to take the focus off of our own southern

border which, there is narco wa happening at the other side of that war. hundreds of thousands of americans being killed by drugs many are also being killed by gang members coming across that border. its our country and we should care about it and talk about it. >> may beat mitt romney might mention that once in a while. >> laura: they can't miss video in a moment plus learning disturbing details about that joe biden supreme court picked tonight. the details are next.

tonight we are seeing what happens when the local public education system and the activists activist professors get into the minds of our next generation. the washington free beacon reports 1,000 students at yelto high school turned what was supposed to be a bipartisan event turned it into table kate

us even screaming threats and absented he's at and organizers. here is an s list closed numerous room with all the details. the purpose of this panel was t show that a liberal atheist and a conservative christian could find common ground together on free speech issues. it quickly devolved into total chaos after more than 100 yale students tried to shut the pane down, apparently triggered by the idea of free speech. watch. >> i ask you all i know yell ha a policy of freedom of speech. >> i look forward to hearing from you. >> now, that panel was hosted b that yale federalist society it featured a panelist from the progressive american humanist association as well as a panelist from the conservative nonprofit alliance ending freedom.

both of those groups had taken the exact same side and the 202 supreme court case involving free-speech. as soon as they conservative panel was introduced, yale protesters began standing up, shouting, holding signs up that attacked her group as well as the federalist society and according to the washington fre beacon one protester told a woman from the conservative group i will literally fight you , leap. here is more from that event. >> you are looking welcome to stay and listen if you have questions. now, please eventually arrived to escort the panelist out of the building and in the two day following that panel use all right there, 60 percent of the law school student body signed an open letter supporting the protesters who they claimed wer imperiled by the presence of police officers.

>> thank you so much. it turns out that biden supreme court nominee is a huge fan of that toxic racial ideologies poisoning our education system. during an mlk day lecture in 2020, kitanji brown jackson declares her love of the critical race theory. he famously compared the u.s. constitution to road powder and his life motto was i live to harass white folks. brown jackson also said she inspired her senior thesis on the hands of oppression and the law. joining me now is the civil rights attorney rnc national committee woman for california. i think a lot of liberals want americans to focus on first african-american woman potentially on the court, her personality, she's a nice person , but what of this toxic ideology which she obviously supports in some way.

>> i think it's deeply concerning and i say that as a lawyer who practices before the courts myself. what we want is judges who are going to look at our circumstances of our particular case and decide the case fairly applying the existing law. as a supreme court level, there is added weight to that because the court often makes the law. in her last confirmation hearing , this judge expressed to the senate that she actually didn't have a particular judicial philosophy, so i think it's fair for senators this tim around to look at who she openl says she admires fred professor bell is one, he said some toxic things and she mentioned how hi book written back in the early 90s made a big impact on her and the book is about white people selling black people to people from outer space to deal with some debt issues for the united states. they're are other very disturbing and allergies in tha book. going beyond that, she has

expressed her admiration for th 6019 project, the now deeply discredited project that has been taught and a lot of our schools when you look at a judg who has portrayed herself as black slave to get onto the court and now you look at some of the disturbing influences sh have scummy you have to wonder whether people are going to get a fair shake in front of her, i she's going to look at anything for the lens of race and specifically through the lens o the united states and the constitution being tinged by racism. in slavery from day one which i think is a distorted view of what our country is. >> laura: for that point i want to read the phrase from th 6019 project. she said in that series the claim investigative journalist explains that the men who drafted and acted the constitution founded this natio on certain ideals, freedom of equality and democracy and at the same time they formulated

the principles the institution of slavery existed in the colonies. jones provocative speeches that america that was born in 1776 was not the perfect union that it purported to be. that is kind of what you would expect from any yield law professor who is interviewed about their 6019 project. that has become kind of mainstream and american legal thought today. you use what just happened at e law school, 100 students bursting into obscenities and s forth. this doesn't surprise me one bit , but she certainly shouldn't sit on the supreme court. >> absolutely. how quickly things have changed when you and i were at law school in uba, i was able to introduce robert work as a speaker in people who disagreed with him politely sat and listened to him in college the same thing, students were able to be respectful. if you are taught to hate from

the point of view of how you ar oppressed even though you live in the most amazing country in the world, you into an ivy league institution and you have an exalted career, that is a very distorted way of looking a america. this is the greatest country in the world, i say that is an immigrant and i think it's unfortunate that somebody that has so much is going to potentially take this distorted worldview onto the bench and ultimately make law from this lens of america being corrupt and hateful really. it is not. i think those questions must be asked. >> second amendment, first amendment, all of that is corrupt to and that's all produced by a bunch of racist, thank you, we needed your place tonight. transgender swimmer leah thomas has just crushed another group of biological female competitors . the details next. class, a former ncaa champ who was there in is outraged.

stay with us.

>> did you notice the timing of that applause, the crowd didn't arrive until after the female competitors finished the race, they see this for the sham it i great at this morning's race, she won by a 32nd margin. in one again this evening by almost two seconds that me thomas a biological male is now the women's 500 freestyle national champion. >> had to work for it, she was for the first 350 meters. winds that ncaa championship. a very close for second. >> and 11 time ncaa all-america swimming champ, and was at both races today. she joins me now very jerry, it seems like the announcer really wanted to tell us all how close everything was. to list what you thought of how things unfolded.

>> laura, thank you for having me. it's actually interesting when you introduce me you use the word outraged, and what i felt watching this morning this morning and this evening was genuine devastation and sadness for the women that are being asked to show up at the women's ncaa division i swimming and diving championships, which is possibly the fastest meat in th world if not certainly our country, and to then under the best of circumstances perform your best, go best times, and now you need to do it against a male body, you need to do it an exit the pool silently and gracefully, and then, i watch

them get out and cry with their coaches and their parents because of the emotional and psychological turmoil that it i taking on these women and that is what needs to be said. that is what people need to hear . it is more than just a sport, i is more than using the titles which they are certainly losing. it is also the psychological disruption that is happening to them and the lack of support that the universities and our ncaa is providing them. it is abhorrent to be a part of. i even felt complacent sitting in the stands today and i think that is why i wanted to come on and do anything i could to help move the needle and make sure that we continue this is about protecting women in all aspects

now, and in the future. >> i want to jump in and ask a question. that 10200 let's say leah thoma has really trained in backstroke , let's say the last two or three years before the transition, and then the transition and competed against you, would your, and mean it's hypothetical question, but it's not clear, is it, that you woul have been an all-american? you maybe wouldn't have won as many championships as you did. you think about that? get i think about it all the time. it's not hypothetical to the women competing at this meet in 2022. it's not hypothetical it's not theoretical, it is happening. i watch girls on the scoreboard gets ninth they will never be

able to call themselves at top eight finalist at the ncaa, i watched women they got 17 today that will never be able to call themselves an all-american like i get to today because i was given of fair and equal opportunity in my sports. we grow up being told the world is unfair, that sports provides one of the very few opportunities that we rely upon and that is being taken away from them all of a sudden and w are asking them to literally endure it. >> we have to roll, but they ar not allowed to speak because if they do, they will be dropped out of the university at double insult. i want to thank you for your bravery in speaking out as a former high school athlete myself and i thank think you, keep doing it. next, stacy abrams gets steamed up.

>> stacy abrams ascended to the office she's always wanted. >> today, we will greet the

president of the united earth. >> we are eager to begin diplomatic discussions. united earth is ready right now to rejoin the federation. and nothing could make me happier than to say those words. >> i wonder if she's going to get another emmy nod, gutfeld i next. ♪ this is a fox news alerts, i'm jonathan hunt live in ukraine, the war in ukraine now in its fourth week. the pounding of cities and residential buildings shelters, even hospitals remains unrelenting and the number of dead civilians is climbing. the mine convoy of russian forces inside the kyiv city center, but it's not stopping the tanks for impounding residential buildings in suburban areas of the capital. >> at 4:30 a.m., i woke up afte a
