rachel: it is 6:00 eastern time. we have a fox news alert. a us military plane crashing in norway killing all four passengers on board. belonged to the marine corps taking part in a drill at the time. pete: russia escalating attacks on ukraine saying it's military used a hypersonic missile. >> jonathan hunt is following

all the details. what can you tell us? >> we are just hearing air raid sirens. we've not heard subsequent explosions, we will keep you posted. as 50 hypersonic missile claims those are only coming from the russian defense ministry. it may be true they are using hypersonic missile for be another hypersonic -- another tactic to frighten ukrainian civilians. they have been frightening them in kyiv where artillery shelling on the outskirts of the capital city have done damage. civilian targets have been hit. what you are seeing is an attack from friday.

there has been constant bombardment from russian forces who are intent on taking that strategically important city but ukrainians continue to fight for every inch of this country. we've seen pictures of russian tanks which ukrainians say their forces destroyed as they sitting position around the capital, kyiv, and other cities. we are seeing interesting satellite images which show huge lines of people trying to escape various cities. the line of vehicles full of refugees, in the midst of this pres. zelenskyy says it is time for vladimir putin to sit down and talk and find a way to get a peace deal.

>> translator: thanks to the courage and professional training of ukrainian armed forces they were stopped in almost all directions. time to meet, time to talk, to restore territorial integrity and justice to ukraine. >> reporter: defense secretary austin is in bulgaria. these pictures of a protest outside his meeting. we are told the protesters are concerned this could lead to a bog area being dragged into this conflict. a few hundred protesters is not a large group but does speak to the concern that they could be pulled into this conflict,

something vladimir putin might be quite glad to see. there is nothing he would like more than to make all of eastern europe nervous indeed. >> the bombardment we are seeing in the west closer to lviv, is that targeting military shipments, attempts at resupply or is it read just -- indiscriminate? are they trying to cut off weapons coming in? >> reporter: it appears to be very targeted. we just have the one strike yesterday on an airport facility, and aircraft repair facility. the russians said it was used to repair migs. obviously last weekend we saw the attack on the military base

30 miles outside lviv. that is a military target. the russians said they were taking out foreign fighters so at the moment it is what the russians consider a military target but it has made everybody in lviv very well aware the russians have the ability to hit anywhere in ukraine at any time and they have shown they are willing to hit civilian targets everywhere. rachel: what does that tell you about the hypersonic missiles? >> they are air to surface missiles vladimir putin developed lately to hit anybody anywhere at 1200 mile range so couldn't go anywhere. attach it to a jet. to be the use of that signals they are further bogged down. they need new technologies.

it is also about terror and intimidation and it is saber rambling to include what we may see jonathan mention, more talk of nuclear threats. rachel: that has been on the rise. pete: nato is not stayed out other than supplying weapons. hopefully that is all it is is rhetoric. rachel: general david perkins says he is desperate and desperate people do desperate things. jennifer griffin reporting the director of the intelligence agency has warned as russians face stiff resistance in ukraine moscow may rely on the threat of nuclear weapons. it could be saber rattling but it might not. >> they are digging into

defensive position and not making progress on the capital. he can stand on stage all he wants but if he feels he is losing and desperate the rhetoric is one thing, the use will be another, a tactical nuclear weapon of which they have many, a chemical weapons attack, what kind of response does that bring? lawrence: he is the ultimate villain. democrats can't allow a crisis to go away so they blame putin for everything. david axelrod said you can't blame everything in the economy on vladimir putin. >> everything is vladimir putin's price hikes. people don't believe that. they know they had inflation before this, they haven't dialed

this in quite right yet. you can't blame everything in the economy on vladimir putin. lawrence: you can't deny his ability as a strategist and he revolutionized a ground game. he is trying to help the pres. . rachel: saying don't do this. lawrence: i don't think the pres. is going to listen. they see what is happening at the pump and grocery prices before vladimir putin took center stage. he is such a villain the american people will buy it. axelrod says don't do it. i understand strategists are saying this is the way to go but as an outside guy who has been

successful, don't do this. rachel: last night on tucker carlson he should footage of a local news report, sneaking around a corner, essentially a bread line, people in line to get free food because they can't afford it. my husband did, sean duffy did, she had cancer, quit working so they are on one income. you are on one income and feeling these prices and another woman from milwaukee, a single mom saying we can't afford it anymore, we can't find meet anymore. every night i make buttered noodles or potato casserole and feel bad because my kids are at an age that i'm modeling but is healthy to eat and i can't afford to feed them in a healthy manner and i started to cry.

how do they not see what their policies are doing and it is so self-inflicted and has to do with energy and if you want to be russia and china kick their butts economically and pete: they kick their butts of the oil and gas industry. but they need a bogeyman because their policies aren't working. the white house took the

opportunity to accuse the industry of price gouging. it tells me there isn't anybody, they do understand how those markets work and have to be disingenuous with the american people like oil and gas companies have 46 unapproved permits waiting on the white house. you've got to approve the permits and do what we need to do, get off twitter and get back to work. lawrence: the administration may be wrong but they are not dumb. the white house has the opportunity to turn back the engine. they are refusing to pump at home. they continue to double down,

and responded to the leases they continue to face. rachel: it is a war on american energy dominance and a war on the american people and single moms and big families and maybe that is intentional bics climate radicals don't like that. a lot of stuff is going on and they are out of touch. remember the footage of pres. biden trying to pretend he knows what ground meat costs, he doesn't know, he hasn't pumped his gas in a long time. he has no idea how this is killing small business owners, the elderly, it is devastating and on purpose and their answer is to buyer $60,000 electric car.

pete buddha judge --buttigeig says take the bus. pete: drive slower, that is the answer. we will get some answers from someone who knows about this, stuart varney will join us, we need that shot of energy. we had another topic this morning. if you missed this video there was meant to be a debate at yale law school between two sides of contentious free-speech judicial topics. instead, here is what unfolded. >> gail has a policy of freedom of speech.

>> disrupting free-speech -- pete: you are disrupting the free-speech panel. this is not insignificant. this is gail law school. each of the supreme court justices to reinforce your point are from harvard or yale law school. this produces the pipeline of people who fill circuit courts and supreme court. they are activists and the first to do so. one circuit judge, lawrence silverman, sent an email morning what this means saying the latest events at the yale law school prompt me to suggest those were willing to disrupt

any such panel discussion should be noted. all federal judges are committed to free speech and consider whether any i students so identified should be disqualified. lawrence: talk to the professors. i was begging people -- that debate had both sides present. i keep telling people the left doesn't want both sides. the other side -- they are not just wrong, they are evil. there is this push for submission, submit or we will destroy you. an interesting dc circuit judge is getting involved in this. and maybe that's the turning point. we need more judges speaking out to talk to these professors.

i think we are too far gone. i wish i was hopeful but i'm not hopeful at all. rachel: it started in college campuses, you have been covering what it has been doing to our k-12 schools. i'm seeing it in medical schools, professors talking about biology are turned in by their students for being trans phobic for suggesting there are males and females and if you are smart, deviously smart on the left this is what you would do, go in and in fact our law schools because if you can get the future legal leaders of the country to undermine our constitution, notions of free speech and equal justice this experiment we are all enjoying is over. pete: are you want to believe in a courtroom is that you're going to get a fair hearing based on

the law of the land of the constitution and if you pump people like this is the courtroom, have an activist on the stage with a preconceived notion whether you are guilty or not based on billing other than the constitution the system erodes if you don't have equal justice. rachel: i said what is the moment you know what it was all over? it was when the criminal justice system became so corrupt that you couldn't expect fairness and they knew it was over and kristin wagoner, who was the attorney from adf who was there to speak, consider her attorney, such a happy warrior, we had her on yesterday and steve doocy asked her would you go back again and she said i sure would. totally happy warrior willing to speak, but, be word and escorted out.

lawrence: these people don't believe in the constitution, when you had the governor of new jersey it is above his pay grade. they don't believe in the bill of rights and want to get rid of it. rachel: sorry to press you guys. we turn to some headline starting with a fox news alert. congressman don young, longest-serving member of the houses died. he was first elected in 1973 and served under ten different presidential administrations through his long tenure. he became dean of the house in 2017. kevin mccarthy shared this photo on twitter remembering his colleague and his friend is, quote, a giant with a heart as big as the capitol under spirit a strong as the alaskan while. he's survived by his two daughters and his wife, and, he

was 88 years old. the father of a golfer killed in a texas bus crash is blaming a career criminal's that who let is 13-year-old son dr. . the grieving father sharing his pain this week. >> this is our baby. she has a twin brother in the marine corps, she's our baby. rachel: the underage driver lost control of his father's truck. that father had a lengthy criminal history including aggravated assault and dui. he and his son both died in that horrific crash. former president george w. bush and bill clinton visiting a ukrainian church in a show of support is russia's war rages on. they laid flowers calling on americans to join them for standing with the ukrainian people. yesterday's visit came the same day as the un human rights

commission reported 20 one hundred civilians have died in the war since it began but officials believe the actual figure could be much higher. so said to think of all those people, 6.1 million displaced, 12.1 million unable to escape the country and last count 2100 dead. pete: you have twice as many in the country as those who left and all these numbers are different, to know what is different, casualties and deaths on both sides. us leaders warning vladimir putin could be plotting a chemical weapons attack. station chief dan hoffman served in moscow, says putin has done it before. dan hoffman knows about this subject next. this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments.

>> translator: it is to save people from this genocide that is the main reason for the military operation we launched in ukraine.

pete: that's vladimir putin pushing a rally in -- hundreds of thousands of flag-waving russians showing his operation ukraine has been a success and calling for world without nazi-ism. dan hoffman, thanks for being here. a big stage propaganda event, the new symbol of this invasion. are the russian people buying this writ large? we hear reports. was this meant for an internal audience or an external audience? >> i think it's meant for vladimir putin's in a circle. those are the ones he fears the most. he knows he made gross miscalculations about the war. it is a war even if putin wants

to call the special military operation. he miscalculated on the russian military which is bogged down. most of all pres. zelenskyy who mobilized the west, who wakened western nations out of the post-cold war slumber and enabled us to create of the russian economy. zelenskyy have a lot of allies including switzerland, switzerland -- sweden, putin has no allies in spite of this effort to demonstrate their support behind russia's war effort. he is a purveyor of lies, disinformation, propaganda and that was on display yesterday. pete: there are increasing reports of russian troops saying, they don't believe in this mission or feel they were lied to and would rather not be there.

what do you make of these reports? are we over inflating this that most of the russian military is there in the fight? >> i think those reports are accurate. hard to measure the more out of russia's fighting force but if there are a lot of russian dead soldiers it's hard to know how many are ever going to be going home but enough that we are seeing protests in st. petersburg and the longer this goes on it makes it clear the war is not going according to plan as vladimir putin said it was and the concern is that he will take more risks. he's been launching missiles increasingly at civilian targets, we saw the attack on the drama theater in mariupol in the maternity ward. pete: here is anthony blinkenen on what russia may be plotting.

>> they may be setting the stage to use a chemical weapon and falsely blame ukraine to justify escalating at the to ask. pete: what happens of chemical weapons are introduced? >> is all about deny everything and make counter accusations, that ukrainian is the one with the weapons of mass destruction program, nothing could be farther from the truth, it is putin who used a band chemical agent, he turned into a human dirty bomb -- this is a legitimate concern, russia enabled bashar assad to use chemical weapons on innocent civilians. we have to be concerned about this. the likelihood is still low but it doesn't mean it won't happen, the biden administration should be messaging russian military officials, warning them off of committing additional war

crimes. pete: thanks for your time and service. dr. doom, anthony fauci warning of more covid lockdowns if there is a spike. >> we can't just say we are done and are going to move on. we've got to be flexible. pete: with variants getting weaker and weaker, can't we? dr. nicole sapphier on deck. calme. so we made a plan to turn bath time into a business. ♪ ♪ find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪ ♪cold beer on a friday night♪ ♪a pair of jeans that fit just right♪ ♪and the radio up well i've seen the sunrise...♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's

variant may be more transmissible than, krohn but we are still seeing natural immunity, vaccine induced immunity is providing good protection against severe illness and that is the goal. when we move forward it will not be about universal mandates, just like when you think about seasonal allergies and you see pollen updates, people who have seasonal allergies know that pollen levels are high and take certain precautions, maybe we need covid alerts in the same way so people who are at higher risk or vulnerable can take those precautions but for the general population at this point we cannot see these universal restrictions especially those that are not backed up by data like school masking in schools and generalized mask mandates. the mitigation efforts we did at the beginning of the pandemic did not show much benefit.

we would be going backwards if we see that again. rachel: how long should we expect this virus to mutate? how long will this go on? >> bottom line is 0 covid is not going to happen. as long as it is on this earth it will continue to mutate. getting vaccines across the world is very important but just like influenza you had epidemics and pandemics but we accept we have an annual flu season. we need to change our way of thinking that it is not cold and flu season but cold, flu, and covid season. we have a large amount of population immunity. moving forward the ultimate goal should be to protect the vulnerable and decrease hospitalization the best we can.

we will see new vaccines more targeted for the variant like we see with updated flu shots every year and people at higher risk or vulnerable will get annual boosters. lawrence: you warned a lot of this would happen. hopefully the white house can change their policy. thanks for joining us. fox news alert four americans killed in a nato training exercise in norway. congressman lance gooden reacts next. out here, you're a landowner, a gardener, a landscaper and a hunter. that's why you need versatile, durable kubota equipment.

the coming days will be very telling. there are negotiations going on with the russians but zelenskyy will struggle to give much up to the russians because the people he represents feel like they are winning. lawrence: we hear that your colleagues are demanding a federal investigation to russian financing of environmentalist groups, just introduced a bill to require nonprofits to disclose russian donations. tell us about this. >> this has been a two year fight for me. the final months of the trump presidency i asked the justice department to investigate where environmental groups are getting their money from. we have reason to believe china and russia are involved in the financing of these groups. russia at this point is benefiting from the actions our

country in the european union have taken because the environmental groups have pushed these governments away from their own domestic production into the arms of russia. the russians are celebrating the reliance of europeans on their natural gas and environmental groups are getting funding from the russians. even hillary clinton in 2014 said that phony environmental groups were doing everything they could to stop us fracking and domestic energy production. we now have a president who said yes to the environmental groups and steered our policy away from domestic production and overreliance on foreign oil and russia is getting what they wanted. lawrence: i want to follow up. when it comes to that funding did you get this from sources? through intelligence? this is not public information. how did you find this out?

>> i've had whistleblowers reach out to me and groups to deny it, they want to open their books and refused to share where they are getting their funding if they are so innocent why not open the door to outside eyes? pete: russian and chinese state run entities potentially funding us environmental nonprofits to undermine our own -- if there's anything we should be looking into especially at a time like this it is this. thanks for introducing the bill and talking about it, we appreciate it. turning to some additional headlines, the parents of cinematographer helena hutchins are stuck in war-torn ukraine. hutchins's mother is a nurse in a kiev hospital at her sister in

identify with but also embrace of sound sensible policy that is pro growth with the economy, pro school choice, pro energy development, defense of the constitution, god, faith and family, latinos identify, this is the policy sweet spot where latinos are that aligns with republican party and democrats have done too much in posing agenda latinos - they've been taken for granted so you see distance from the democrats. rachel: they felt they could be open borders and hispanics would come over but they are very affected by inflation, job prospect and the pandemic was

especially hard on hispanics. >> it was and this administration has been indifferent to the hardships latinos have been facing and their fellow americans when it comes to restricting americans when it comes to covid, this impression that they have this indifference to loss of control of the border, violent crimes in major cities the republican party has an opportunity to counter institutional voices that dominated the conversation, talking unions, university professors, spanish-language media, these nonprofit organizations that were pushing an agenda. they are finding their voice, talking to themselves and it is making a difference.

fly at more than five times the speed of sound and they fly relatively speaking at low altitude. so they can evade most air defense systems. but as you rightly point out. we only have the russian defense ministry's word for it that they're using them. it may simply be another propaganda tool at this point to terrorize the ukrainian people who continue to be terrorized in cities across this country. kyiv still under bombardment. the capital city being hit by cruise missiles and also artillery shells from the tanks that are arrayed around a good part of the capital. the artillery raining down on there repeatedly on to civilian targets among others. there is also intense fighting in the strategic eastern city of kharkiv. one russian forces seem intent on taking before they might get towards any peace deal.

kharkiv might be one of the lines that they want to draw in the sand, if you will, when they seek a final territorial deal. but ukrainians are continuing to fight for every inch of their land. we are seeing more video from the ukrainian officials that they say is of tanks, russian tanks, that they have destroyed on the outskirts of kyiv. we are also getting new satellite images from maxar technologies which show the desperation of so many people to get out of the southern city of mariupol. you see the huge line of vehicles there filled with refugees just trying to get away from that city which has been so badly hit by the russian bombardment. in the midst of all of this, president zelenskyy of ukraine says it is time for president putin of russia to sit down and talk peace. listen here to president zelenskyy.

>> thanks to the courage and professional training of the ukrainian armed forces, the occupation forces were stopped in almost all directions. it's time to meet. time to talk. it is time to restore territorial integrity and justice for ukraine. >> and we want to show you these pictures coming out of bulgaria today. that is where defense secretary austin is holding meetings and several hundred protesters turned up outside of the venue today. what they're concerned, according to our producers on the ground, that secretary austin's presence there could lead to bulgaria being dragged into this conflict. now, that is a few hundred people a relatively small protest, of course, but it does speak to the nervousness felt across eastern europe that this conflict could spread much further than ukraine. rachel, lawrence, pete? pete: i don't know than, thanks so much. as the war gets further and

further to the western part of the country. let's bring in stuart varney host of varney and company fox business. thanks for joining us on the couch. stuart stuart good to see you this morning. pete: one of the of alliance between russia and china. you pay allot of attention to that yesterday was a phone call between joe biden and xi jinping. readout pretty predictable. if will ukrainian cities. shouldn't be doing that told them to stay away from taiwan. china says taiwan is ours. there is a big economic tie but certainly a strategic one also. stuart stuart we are looking at financial escalation. president biden spelled out the indications and consequences to china if they help russia in this war. now, the president was asked repeatedly what are the consequences? what are you doing here? he refused to answer. he would not answer those questions. what's really at stake here is sanctions. if the russian -- i'm sorry, if

the chinese help the russians, we will impose sanctions on china. china trade, and china banking. that is a very serious. pete: do you think we will and we would? stuart stuart i don't know. i don't know. pete: from china said they don't agree with the sanctions on russia. stuart stuart right, so will we impose sanctions on china if china helps russia? that's unanswerable question. what you can do though is spell out the seriousness of this situation when the two largest economies in the world, united states and china have at it over trade and finance and a new round of escalation, you are looking at a serious problem here which will spill out into the whole world's financial system. rachel: also, our global food supply. we had rebeccah heinrichs on from the hudson institute. she said these two countries could absolutely weaponize the global food supply. i'm also concerned, stuart, about the financial implications of these two getting together and in some way making america

no longer the preferred currency and impact that would have. i hope our leaders are thinking enough ahead about global food supply and that question about our currency. >> i think you are right -- china in particular has weaponized the food supply. they have a big chunk of the world's wheat operation and some of it corn operation. rachel: and fertilizer. >> fertilizer downstream. exactly right. you take that out of the global food economy and you are talking about a gross escalation in prices. of everything. because, you know, all kinds of food. i think you are heading towards a $6 loaf of bread in the united states along with a $5-gallon gasoline. that's where we are headed. rachel: we saw the elites in the pandemic a lot of poor people hurt by that and see it again in this situation. >> poor people hurt especially in this escalating financial situation. lawrence: stu, i want to go back to those sanctions we saw the

u.s. did it and the world has really shunned russia, right? you got all the major companies are leaving. if china gets involved in this, and i actually think it's highly likely. they are pretty much asking them for their support right now even though i don't believe them at all. if they decide to do that, do you think the world will go against china like they did russia? because it's easy to go against russia. it's far more different -- >> much different. china is so much bigger and has so much more money and the workshop of the world. manufactured products are produced in china in large proportion. you cut them off, and you got a real problem all around the world. so to answer your question, lawrence, i don't think that the rest of the world would go against china as they have gone against russia. after all, it is russia that started this. putin's brutal war. you can understand people getting on and trying to stop them. china is a different kettle of fish.

much bigger, more distant to the actual action in ukraine and, therefore a different response to them. pete: but, for our viewers, to me the big take away is if we are drawing red lines -- not red lines, whatever sort -- we are drawing a stance on how far china can support russia. be prepared for a coming discussion about what we then do to china. >> absolutely. it seems like president biden is laying down a red line situation. you help the russians, and you will get this from us. that's a red line. if they cross that red line, will president biden back it up? that was your question originally. i cannot tell you the answer. i don't know what he is going to do. rachel: maybe he doesn't know. >> gap two hour meeting yesterday. still on the table. lawrence: i think the white house is avoiding this entire conversation as well. fox business white house correspondent everett lawrence

was asking jen psaki about this yesterday take a look. >> why president address the phone call personally between he and president xi. >> because it was about a different topic. and there is a lot of things the american people care deeply about so his effort to communicate about our range of issues. >> when you have the leader of the largest economy in the world and second largest economy in the world and they're talking and it could fall on either side of an invasion the american people want to hear directly from the president. >> we provided a range of updates, briefings, readouts and hopefully you all will be effective as you will in communicating that to the american people. >> unwilling to spell out the consequences the president was asked. as you said from edward lawrence. asked, he would not say it he did not want to raise the threat level, perhaps. didn't want to be too detailed on the threat he was put on the table. that's where we stand. rachel: to be fair, people have criticized him for saying what he is going to do and saying that wasn't good to do it. so i mean damn if you do, damn

if you don't. i'm hardly a defender of the president but maybe that was a little bit of that. >> i think something could be said for that, yes. he has been sharply criticized coming too late to the game. he doesn't want to spell out now exactly what he's going to do to china. he is trying to withhold from that. rachel: axelrod a former adviser the strategy of blaming everything on putin by the democrat party and by the president is not going to work and that people aren't going to buy it listen. >> he was saying, you know, everything is putin's price hikes, inflation is putin's fault. people don't believe that either. they know that we had inflation before this. they know that gas prices were high before this. so they haven't dialed this in quite right yet. you can't blame everything in the economy on putin. >> david axelrod is the man who put barack obama in the white house. lawrence: that's right. >> he is a heavy hitter in the democratic party and for him to

come out now biden you got it all wrong. you can't keep blaming putin for inflation. you can't do that significant break between the obama team and the biden team and current policy. pete: why is he saying it then? >> he knows in seven months there is an election and $5 gas will not work in the democrats' favor. do something about it. he is saying do something about it basically. because if you don't, you are going to lose. lawrence: stu, this is just my insight of following them for a long time and especially when it came to joe biden even when he was running for president, the former president talks through his former advisers. do you think this is coming from barack obama as well delegate the democrats you better back off on this as well? >> the obama administration basically staffed the biden administration. from top to bottom. the obama guys are in there with the biden guys. so for this -- for the obamas top guy, politically, to turn around and say you got it all

wrong. rachel: conundrum answer to all of this inflation, stop printing money, stop sending money, and bring back american energy. and are those -- any of those three things things that the biden administration is willing to do. >> no. rachel: or axelrod thinks he should do. >> the biden administration wants the federal reserve to keep printing money. and it is still printing money. rachel: i know. >> the biden administration does not want to drill for oil and frac for natural gas. rachel: they don't want to stop spending. >> they want to keep on spending. so they're not going to do anything about what i think is the stagflation that's coming. >> we have slow economic growth and rampant inflation. rachel: what is axelrod's message then if it's not to change any of those things? >> spin it differently. [laughter] rachel: bring in more tiktokers. >> that was the last line of his statement there spin it differently, for heaven's sake.

spin wins for election. pete: back of his mind all the obama folks thinking don't understand joe's ability to. rachel: to blank this up. >> very true. rachel: you are the best, stuart, thanks for come in. pete: one of the longest serving members of alaska has died at the age of 88. rachel: republican spent almost 50 years in the house of representatives serves under 10 different presidents, wow. lawrence: dean of the house. edson jones is live in washington as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle pay tribute. hey rich. >> good morning rachel rachel and pete no. republican had ever served longer in the u.s. house. congressman don young 25 consecutive termingts and already announced plans to run for number 26 this year. he died on the way home to alaska. he worked as a tug boat captain and trapper. while in congress he once brandished the pubic bottom of a walrus on the house floor during

a debate. he also held a knife to congressman john boehner before boehner was speaker. they later became friends. young was a defender of the oil and logging industries. he brought back billions of dollars in pork to alaska. remember those bridges to nowhere? that was don young a proposed 2.2 billion in spending. the bridges were never built. in 2014 the house ethics committee fined young nearly $60,000 for using campaign money to pay personal expenses for accepting 15 judge cets. house minority leader kevin mccarthy wrote quote don young was a giant with a heart as big as the capitol as spirit as strong as the alaska wild. we all loved don dearly. his absence will leave congress less colorful and certainly less punctual. decades of service filled every room and touched every member. house speaker nancy pelosi wrote quote his reverence and devotion to the house shone through in everything that he did. for five decades he was an institution in the hallowed halls of congress, a serious legislator, always bringing

people together to do the people's work. he was also the longest sitting member of the house known as the dean of the house. that means he swore in speaker pelosi last year of the growing bipartisan he then said, quote, when do you have a problem or if there is something so contentious, let's sit down, have a drink, and solve those problems. back to you guys. rachel: thank you, rich. pete: not a whole lot of that these days. rachel: do you know why? do you know why? people say it's because some time in the 1990s congress men and women moved their families back to their home districts. and so there is just not as much socializing and relationships are politics. some people trace back all of this division and polarization to the fact that they don't live in d.c. it's really good to be out of d.c. complex problem interesting. lawrence: i don't think it's real division they fake it behind closed doors all their kids go to the same schools.

rachel: no our kids go to school in district, lawrence. back in that congressman's day that was true. but now, your kids go to school in their home districts. so, there is not a lot of that camaraderie anymore. lawrence: this is a libertarian speaking. rachel: a libertarian was not a member of congress -- lawrence: thomas win a national championship this week. the crowd cheered for the second place winner instead. our next guest was an all-american swimmer and nine-time champion. why she says we should be fighting for fairness in women's sports. rachel: amen. lawrence: that's next. when tired, achy feet make your whole body want to stop, it's dr. scholl's time.

lawrence: welcome back penn state university swimmer lia thomas. one day after becoming a national championship in the ncaa's 500-yard freestyle. but it turns out the crowd was more enthusiastic when cheering for the woman who came in second place. [cheers]

lawrence: our next guest real champ 21 time all-american swimmer and ncaa champion maggie boggling joins us now. hey, maggie, thanks for joining the program. >> hi, lawrence, thanks so much for having me. it's a huge honor, thank you. lawrence: maggie, we are honored to have you. when you saw this take place and it's obvious as the other women stood on the platform how uncomfortable they were, you saw the crowd's reaction. why are we allowing this to happen right now? >> we are allowing it because in all honesty the ncaa is not doing their job to protect fairness and safety in women's sports. it's their duty and responsibility to do so and they are failing. that's why we should come together to request a change and

very soon. lawrence: you know, maggie, if had you to compete against a biological male, would you still be a 21-time champion right now? >> well pride would have me answer as yes, but fortunately, science would have me say no. in honesty, because, you know, there is -- information age that we live in, there is information very quickly accessible by everybody out there that says that there are natural born advantages by males over females. that's okay. it's the truth. unfortunately the ncaa, you would have to assume that they also are aware of this. and they are choosing to not put

into place laws that would restrict athletes with a natural born advantage, a natural born male advantage from being able to compete against women in women's sports. specifically women's swimming right now. lawrence: maggie, when you talk to other women who are currently competing, a lot of them say off the record the reason why they are silent is because of the intimidation and the mob that goes after them. i'm just curious, why are you speaking out? >> i'm in a fortunate position to not feel like i need to live in fear of retaliation. i really believe that's what's happening to the majority of people closely associated to swimming currently or they feel their jobs would be compromised or they would have opportunities taken away if they tore speak

out. and that's unfortunate. and i -- it's like you don't like to use the word bully. but bullying is a very effective way to silence people when their voices are equated to discrimination and trans phone . it is narrative very loud narrative right now that speaking up to try to protect fairness and safety in sport is discrimination. and it is transphobe i can't and that is a very effective fear tactic. lawrence: nine-time can champion, true champion, maggie, thanks so much for joining us on the program. >> thank you so much. lawrence: you got it. still ahead. the "new york times" finally confirming reports on hunter biden's laptop. but the "new york post," they knew that months ago. columnist miranda devine wrote the book on hunter's laptop from hell. she joins us next.

"new york times" finally confirming hunter biden's laptop was authentic only after they flagged the laptop as, quote, russian disinformation back in 2020 just weeks before the election. and they weren't the only ones brushing off the story. do you remember this? >> hunter biden, this laptop that intelligence officials have warned is likely russian disinformation. >> i get pretty fired up about how this works because, look, if the "new york post" tells you your mom loves you, you should check it out. we are not talking about fully reliable sources here. >> feels like a repeat from last cycle. it's the, you know, but her emails again and it's kind of ridiculous. >> featuring all the usual suspects, hunter biden, mysterious emails, ukrainian

businessman dot dot dot dot. rachel: new york columnist breaks down the truth laptop from hell great book and she joins us now. miranda, welcome to the show. you have been telling the truth. you have never backed down. you know your sources well, but this is such a huge story because as far as i'm concerned this censorship of your story, your reporting i think constitutes election interference. >> thanks, rachel, yes, look, it definitely does. whether it is a big tech, facebook or twitter that censored our story and closed the "new york post" account two weeks before the 2020 election, or whether it's the rest of the media, that just ran interference either ignored us o. or reduced this that definitely accounts for election interference. perhaps the most egregious is those 61 former intelligence officials, high level officials now, you know, we have gone to

each one of them and asked them if they take back the lie that they told back before the election just a few days after our original story in which they said that the story and the emails and the materials from the laptop, hunter biden's abandoned laptop was russian disinformation. in their expert opinion. well, not one of those 51 former intelligence officials like john brennan and james clapper have rescinded what they said. they have either refused to comment or, like james clapper, they have doubled down and said no, i stand by it. lawrence: unbelievable. so, you have been vindicated, miranda, but then you look at the media coverage of this, and you see abc zero seconds, cbs zero seconds, nbc zero seconds. what is it now? why aren't they covering it now? i mean, they covered it as a scandal saying that it wasn't

true. they had to correct the record now. but they are not airing the story for their audience. >> well, it's as i remember, lawrence. before the 2020 election, they had one mostly cloudy and that was to get rid of donald trump and hide any bad information about the other candidate which was joe biden. and now, to admit that they did that would be to have egg on their face and to admit to their own viewers and their own readers how dishonest they are. pete: miranda, it's 16 months more or less since this story was broken by the "new york post" and was suppressed. how long should it have taken the "new york times" under normal circumstances to identify that this is legitimate material? lawrence: such a great question? >> well, pete, it should have taken, you know, maybe a week. they had access to tony bobulinski, who was hunter biden's former business partner. so even if they didn't have the

laptop, they certainly had all the information pretty much that walls on the laptop and some because tony bobulinski's material, the contents of his devices, his what's app. messages with hunter biden and their partners was all there. he gave it to the fbi. he stood up and gave a press conference shortly after our story came out in 2020 and he put his head up above the parapits. he put his character on the line. is he a naval veteran and american patriot. and they could have asked him. they also could have asked john paul mac isaac who was another american patriot and hero the owner of mac book repair shop. he also suffered greatly for doing the right thing. rachel: a patriot. same with bob bobulinski for bringing this to light. both have been smeared. in the case of the laptop guy he has been bankrupted. terrible. we should find out who the big

guy is, who is getting 10% of those deals. miranda, you are a patriot, too for bringing all of this to light. we appreciate your honest reporting and your diligence and your sticking to your story, as you should. so, miranda, we thank you for joining us this morning. pete: thank you, miranda. >> thank you so much. rachel: of course. be sure to watch who is hunter biden streaming now on fox nation. pete: all right, coming up, terrifying moments for shoppers in an arizona jewelry store. nine of them held hostage as thieves plunder the store. plus more ukrainians are leaving their country, alex hogan gives us a live look at the hungary-ukraine border. that's next. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. real cowboys get customized car insurance with liberty mutual, so we only pay for what we need.

3 million ukrainians have fled their homes. as russia's deadly invasion continues. the red cross is working around the clock to provide food, hygiene, and resources as well as helping the refugees evacuated to safety. fox corporation has helped raise more than, get this $10 million. that's right. $10 million to support the red cross' efforts in ukraine. you can help, too. just head to red cross.org/fox forward to give to the cause and those are your headlines. >> wonderful cause. thank you to all of how have contributed. rachel: absolutely. we have the best viewers. pete: really do. as the russian invasion continues unrelenting, refugees are increasingly desperate to get out of ukraine. lawrence: nearly all the refugees fleeing to countries like poland, row maybe i can't and hungs gather. rachel: alex hogan is live hungary border with ukraine on the crisis. good morning. >> good morning, pete, lawrence and rachel. this is something we don't often

see this train just arrived here. they have been somewhat sporadic in recent days due to attacks on trains leaving ukraine. this train just arrived. we have seen families get off carrying what little belongings they have. there is police who are standing here ready to greet them and process them and bring them into the train station. so we still see some people on board who are gathering their belongings. most of the refugees we have seen have fled the country going to poland followed by mull dovia, slow vein i can't and slovakia. the small train station is a most common point of entry. i met one woman today named azia who arrived with her two little children. they spent an entire week trying to get here driving 12 hours by car. and that's not because of the distance, it's just the amount of traffic. they didn't turn on the heat because finding gas was simply too hard. and once azia's husband dropped off his family at the border. he, like so many others, went

back to fight. >> we have to save our kids. go get them to safe place. and it was the most important now. but we don't know what will be tomorrow for all of us, for him. >> there is just so much uncertainty. you see this large group of people who are walking towards us now with their suitcase, plastic bags in hand. the jackets that they carry and very little else with them. the families who arrived here don't have anywhere to stay or anywhere to go next will sleep in a town. all the children have been sent home to learn virtually to make space for people who have nowhere else to sleep. it's actually the teachers who are helping cook and helping clean for refugees. but the fear and the trauma for these people who continue to arrive has not faded away.

>> homes will be destroyed and where you will be in this moment. >> so much fear, so much uncertainty but more and more people continue to arrive at most the train station seeing about 4,000 people arrive every single day. not as much in recent days but that number is impsd to tick up again with recent attacks that we have seen in recent days. guys, back to you. pete: alex hogan live in hungary. a sea of humanity. really appreciate you covering it bring in montana senator steve daines now who is live with us in another country where refugees are fleeing to and that's poland. senator, you are on the ground there give us a sense of the situation both what you are seeing on the refugee side but also being in a nato country what the feel is. >> yeah. well, first of all, i'm standing here about two miles from the ukraine border. this is one of the refugee

processing centers. we have a kettle of 10 united states senators. it's a bipartisan delegation. literally looking over my phone here. i can see a young mom pushing a stwrorl a sleeping baby. just heart breaking to see these images, to see the reality what is happening with these moms, these grandmothers. grand children young children, babies coming across the border. last night we were in berlin. there at the brandenburg gate. i remember back in 1987 ronald reagan said mr. gorbachev tear down this wall. and we had peace through strength under ronald reagan. what we have here in the united states now war through weakness finally starting to see the nato countries standing up like germany who committed to increasing spending. dinner last night with several members of the german their congressional section of their government and really pleased to see increasing nato spending and

very aware now the threat of the russians present. but, importantly, energy security. it's critical. and it's just so disappointing to see our president biden sends out a 37-page climate change plan, about climate change refugees. i wish he could see what's going on right here. these are refugees coming out of ukraine. and ukrainians with pleading with us a few months ago. you got to stop the nord stream 2 pipeline. the germans said we need the gas. ukrainians said putin is weaponizing energy. and i will tell you what, we are seeing the sad reality now what vladimir putin is doing to the poor people in ukraine. just so grateful for what the united states is doing and some countries providing humanitarian relief. seeing it right here on the ground. just two miles from the ukraine border. pete: senator, on the military side, is europe, in your estimation, doing enough and is the united states of america doing the right thing right now?

>> well, we spent just an hour ago we were with the 82nd airborne with our generals, our leaders there about 50 miles. we got a briefing this morning what's going on. i could not be prouder, first of all, for the u.s. troops who are over here. 82nd airborne so many here making sure back stop here nato forces. >> to make sure we keep poland and other nato countries secure. this goes back to peace through strength. it's very important that our nato allies, european countries are upping their nato. president trump, remember, called them out on. that was and he was right. he knew the threat. and they said here in europe this has been their 9/11. it's waking up europe to see the threat there really is good and evil in the world. we are seeing that now really unfolding here before us and the importance of a strong military and thank god for the united states of america. pete: amen, well-said.

i want to get you in on one other topic related to this. that is the iran deal and the talks that continue and the white house is being criticized for the fact that they are allowing russia to be the intermediary in those iran nuclear talks as russia is doing what it is doing. what do you make of that reality? >> this is insanity. iran is the leading sponsor of state terror in the world. i'm standing two miles from the ukraine border here in poland. 12 miles from here on sunday, the iranians, the russians launched missiles and hit a location. the iranians at the same time hit an outpost in erbil, iraq where we have a u.s. -- we used to have a special operation center. but the iranians are launching missiles at the u.s. consulate. operation centers in northern iraq. at the same time the president is negotiating with the iranians for so-called peace deal. the irans are a nuclear threat to the world. the sanctions are working

against iran. what the president is looking to do is release some of those sanctions. allow the oil to flow and that is a huge, huge mistake. so i'm firmly opposed to it. we have got to be calling this out. president biden taking us down a very dangerous path. pete: why we would allow anything that would benefit russia as well in this context is mind-blowing. senator steve daines thanks so much. stay safe. >> you too. pete: got it still ahead a new york professor reported for claiming relations in the u.s. have improved. wokeness on college campuses spiraling out of coal next. sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! these chicken parm sliders on king's hawaiian rolls are fire! slider sunday! i want that. everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. mmm!

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." a new york college professor reported for praising the social progress made in the united states. the instructor reportedly told his class, quote: we should be proud how far we have come as a society related to race and gender relations here to react is senior reporter at the college fix and author of "anti-knowledge" kristin schneider. christian, welcome, let me get this straight reported for saying that we are not as racist or we have made progress since

jim crow days? are these kids jis u. just historically ignorant? >> yeah. so, sunni court land a public school up in the middle of new york. and earlier this year in january they started a new class where the professor sat down and said, you know, i'm not going to be your typical anti-american professor. mentioned the, you know, the thing about not wanting -- that progress in america has gotten better since the 1930s on race and gender. he said in his day women could only aspire to be mediocre, and a student took offense of this and went straight to the school's bias response team and filed a report against the professor and it's just one of a few dozen that we are able to find in the course of looking at this. rachel: i'm curious to see what kind of repercussions he will face. i have interviewed many professors here at "fox & friends" who have told me they

are terrified of their very intolerant students turning them in and destroying their careers all responds from bias response teams set up systems students and professors can report each other anonymously. if they see or hear anything that they think is biased another professor example professor talking about peter pan and he used a couple words that are in the book, and, yeah, so it's really bad and it's got to be changed. rachel: yeah. they are creating a communist style snitch culture on campus and i think it's deliberate. christian, thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. rachel: you got it. we did read out to suni cortland for comment but we didn't hear

lawrence: a fox news alert. crash nato drills in norway are dead. exercise unreality to the russia's invasion of ukraine. rachel: but it comes as the kremlin appears to be escalating it attacks on the country. russia claiming military has launched a hypersonic missile for the first time. pete: mike tobin joins us from lviv, ukraine. good morning. >> good morning, gang. war rages on. the rust forces still hold few population centers. they do not have the capital city of difficult surround

civilians are paying a heavy price. kharkiv close to the russian border. one of the first towns attacked. the video you are looking at is from the university there ukrainian fighters are preventing russians from advancing into the town but they cannot stop the bombardment. human rights watch estimates the civilian casualties at 450 but we know that the morgue in kharkiv is overrun. meantime ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy posted a video message telling russian leaders it is time for meaningful negotiation. >> thanks to the courage and professional training of the ukrainian armed forces, the occupation forces were stopped in almost all directions. it's time to meet. time to talk. it is time to restore territorial integrity and justice for ukraine. >> now russia appears to be headed in the other direction. boasting through the ministry of definition that they have now used an air launched hypersonic ballistic missile to strike at

underground weapons depot used by ukrainians. and at a campaign style rally in a soccer stadium once used for the world cup finals, vladimir putin wearing a $14,000 designer coat vowed to press on. guys, back to you in new york. lawrence: unbelievable. pete: coats for him. desperate. thanks, mike. it is amazing to watch the contrast of a rally of a russian dictator who is saying -- who is lying to his people about the pretext of a war and then bombs being dropped and reports of these pilots who have been shot down by ukrainians saying we are not even -- we are told that we are bombing columns of tanks but we don't know if we are bombing columns of tanks. it's only the generals that pick the targets. the generals tell us where to drop. they our bombs are not smart bombs. we don't know. it's amazing in to think in 2022 you have a modern well-equipped military with a totally false sense of what they're fighting

for and, you know, the command and control is generals and privates. and so there is elite few telling the rest of them what to do and, you know, no wonder there is questions about morale inside the russian military. rachel: so interesting. zelenskyy actually in one of his speeches last week was speaking directly to those privates, to those soldiers hey we intercept your calls to your family. we know you don't really want to be here. we know you don't know why you are here, just put your guns down. not working, interesting that they are getting that feedback and wanting to speak to the soldiers directly. lawrence: when i saw that rally yesterday. my instant reaction was, okay, hey it's russia so, you know, obviously they don't want to go against putin. but the to show up to that rally kind of ticked me off. it's like if you know what? if you can't have -- then there were reports that came out that a lot of these people were forced to attend the rally? i mean, what is going on? rachel: communists do that all

the time. lawrence: one thing but the people felt so much pressure that they even this h. to just celebrate and wave. and you keep wondering. you still see pockets of people rising up. where are these people -- i'm sorry. you have people willing to put their life on the line and say enough is enough. and they are being sent off to jail, maybe up to 10 years i hope these people do something. these people are being slaughtered. rachel: do you have tickets of the map? reports zelenskyy is talking about time to meet. time to work out a negotiation. brian. pete: talk about that for sure. the pictures you are seeing on the screen. dan hoffman a lot of that imagery elites and generals inside russia to say i'm still the big man here. rachel: i got the heart of the people. pete: heart of the people behind me very, very interesting. you mentioned rachel the prospects for peace and right now it's war and outright war. and vladimir putin still wants kyiv although heavily fortified there and very little advances

in the north. kharkiv totally under siege. seeing the kind of bombardment mariupol has seen as well. as i have looked about this and talked about end game. whatever putin's end game may be, capital city, second largest city, strategic city to connect the donbas to crimea, the most important port, they are pushing toward odesa even though they are not there yet. kherson significantly taken. you could conceive of a scenario where zelenskyy is out and vladimir putin tries to say okay, we are going to draw a new border around ukraine that looks like that. and that's all now russia or annexed or that's our deal, take the rest of it i'm not saying that's how it will go or what his investigations are but considering the ability of resistance that he has faced. the initial plan siege kyiv and take over zelenskyy. small counter offenses here with ukrainians should go in the other direction have taken city center back and are now back in

control. so some places where russians are actually losing ground this morning. i'm sorry i cut you off, rachel. rachel: no, no. it's so interesting. you hear one general saying listen, zelenskyy and his troops are performing, you know, value lently but don't, this is not going to be a victory for them. the russians are going to grind it out. another general will come on and say no, the ukrainians are doing great. then i saw this report as we talked about of zelenskyy saying okay, it's time, in that address. it's time to meet. it's time to talk about peace. it's time to work out agreement. and is that because he thinks he is losing? is he just trying to get a cease-fire so he can resupply and come back stronger or is he afraid is he going to lose the whole country? pete: that's a great question. is he negotiating from a position of strength or weakness? and how does putin view that? zelenskyy now been beaten down enough i is going to give it away or does zelenskyy believe he has russian generals getting assassinated and putin vulnerable place would

welcome -- not welcome but take an off ramp at this point? i don't think we know quite yet. what we do know is that vladimir putin is upping the rhetoric about hypersonic missiles and the potential of nuclear weapons or chemical weapons. rachel: that's scary. pete: of course it is scary. pertains to the western part of the country seeing even more bombing recently. including as was mentioned a hypersonic missile strike and we will get to the technology behind that hit a military base in the western part of the country. there haves about been airstrikes on military and airports outside of lviv. so far as our reporters have said, the targets in the west have not been the civilian population. that's how it's gone from the beginning. they start by bombing what they deem to be legitimate military or strategic targets and turns to indesjim that the shelling. likely to try to prevent repairs to migs. prevent weapons from flowing in to kyiv. they want to disrupt the supply lines of reinforce that. can come to the capital that's preventing them from taking over to. the technology we are hearing

about this morning that is new is called -- i can't pronounce it. a hypersonic ballistic missile fired from an aircraft that has a range of 1500 to 2,000 kilometers it travels at milwaukee 10 and ultimately they say, the russians claim it can maneuver in the air and flies at low altitude to avoid radars. if that's the case, i guess it's effective inside ukraine but, again, could be another tip to nato allies saying don't get involved. we have got weapons that can reach you, too. oh, by the way while this might be a ballistic tipped missile now it could be a nuclear one, too. stay on your side of the line of the border maybe send weapons but otherwise we want to keep you out of the conflict. lawrence: look at the original map before we bring in dakota i want to understand this. where are the civilians trying to get out. what direction? it is on fire. the entire map is what direction

are the civilians going? pete: from what i understand out of kyiv there is a southern corridor to move out. it's getting increasingly precarious. there have been multiple routes that have been proposed. and i can't give you the specific spots right now. the corridors are owe proposed to avoid russian portions and a lot of those convoys get hit or closed off. as we have seen and our prayers remain with benjamin hall as he recovers. one moment it's open, the next moment it's not. so there is a lot of confusion about that as civilians are trapped in the middle. rachel: 12 million unable to flee. pete: you look at places like this nearly surrounded. pretty soon those civilian populations wouldn't have anywhere to go if they wanted to. ultimately. pete: next guest actually intent the last 10 days bringing medical aid and supplies to refugees. just back from his mission, marine veteran and medal of honor recipient dakota meyer joins us now. dakota, thanks for being here. you have seen the worst of war. you have seen this war

firsthand. your take away from being on the ground? >> yeah. i mean, this was, you know, look, we worked on the border of poland and ukraine. we also went further past lviv. we had part of our team went in to kyiv. you know, and coordinate high, you know, high compromise rescues and evacuations. and let me tell you, this is second to nothing i have ever seen. the atrocity here and the targeting of civilian targets that russia is doing is just -- it is horrific. and, you know, it is really bad. pete: i mean, hold on. to say second to none, considering what have you seen, if people understand what you went through to get the medal of honor. that's saying something. and you are saying this is next level. >> yeah. i mean, there is just no discrimination to targeting civilians, look, obviously there

is collateral damage in any type of war and it's understandable. it's heart breaking that that's part of it. just the shear terror that putin is trying to put inside of the ukrainian people. and not even worrying about, you know, the optics of it not even trying to make it look good, right. the indiscriminately shelling of civilian targets. the killing of people who are in libraries to receive humanitarian aid, you know, our team was going in and running some of the missions. and, you know, driving by at these checkpoints, you know, civilian vehicles, still smoldering. with cillianing sitting inside those vehicles. and the russian troops surrounding these cities not letting people evacuate, who had nothing to do with it. there is, you know, the strategy is not to stick to, you know, military targets. the strategy is to stick to military targets and then turn around and kill these innocent civilians in order to try to turn them over and make them feared so much that they give

up. because he knows that that's the only way the only chance he has of taking over ukraine is by getting the civilians to quit, getting -- breaking their will and their shear will to defend their country. rachel: you're such an interesting guest because you have this. you are there for military you heard zelenskyy say it's time to talk. it's time to meet. it sounds like he wants to make a negotiation work out same time putin is desperate and desperate people do desperate things. jennifer griffin reporting that, you know the defense intel agency is saying that moscow is relying more on threats of nuclear weapons. where do you think this goes? should the ukrainians continue fighting until the end here or do you think the best solution is to try and find some sort of negotiation or do you think this

is too far gone and that is not going to happen? >> you know, i don't know, right? i think it goes one of two ways. i think in the next couple weeks, you will see a cease-fire. zelenskyy is probably going to have to give up some ground as pete was just talking about. i think putin really having to come to a realization of he is at a crossroads. i'm not going to be able to get all of this, you know, do i take what i can get or do i go all in? and, you know, that really comes down to trying to predict what insanity does is a really hard thing to do. but i think, look, for us, i think that you know, ukraine either they come to a cease-fire in the next couple weeks. and then, you know, they give up some land. i think that you know, you are seeing zelenskyy say he is not going to join nato because i think he is realizing that no one is coming to help him. which is terrible. so i think it goes to that or i think, you know, in a couple weeks, if it doesn't stop, that i think that the world leaders are going to have to come together and they are going to have to deal with russia. lawrence: i'm so glad, dakota,

pete set the stage letting the audience know those that weren't familiar with your service, the type of wars that you have been in before. what you have did for those marines as well that got you the medal of honor. you were on my show before you went out there to see what was going on. in ukraine. i just got to ask you. what is your position and what do you think the position of the u.s. should be now that you've gone there on the ground to see what's happening? >> yeah. i will say this up front. i was wrong. i was wrong on every show that i went on. i think when i said that strategically, for us not to get involved in this war, i think i was still 100 percent correct on. that was i think that the moral obligation that we have, as the leader of the free world, i think that if we stand by and let this go on much longer, i think we leave a presence across the globe that the secondary and tertiary reactions of that that says hey we are going to stand by and allow you to kill innocent civilians, allow you to

kill people who are not involved in this just caught in the crossfire and target them without doing anything, i think that's not going to be a good thing for us. and i don't think it's going to be a good thing for the globe. and so, you know, look, i was 100 percent against it but i will just leave it at this. i'm not by no means am i advocating for war. but, especially i think the true aspect that holds me back on this is the leadership inside the united states. if i could trust the leadership of this administration to go in and to strategically follow through with being ruthless and allowing our service -- allowing our military, the most powerful thing on the globe to go in and do its job, i would be all about sending them today. but there are so many aspects to the weakness of this administration and not being able to trust what their intentions are and that they are going to go ahead and follow through with this. that's the hold back. outside of that i will leave it at this statement. that going and fighting russia on behalf of what they are doing through the ukrainian people, is more of a worthy cause than iraq

and afghanistan put together. rachel: why? >> because the killing of. rachel: i find it fascinating. >> because the killing of innocent people. because the killing -- the terror. like i mean the russians are surrounding these towns, allowing these people to just waiting for them to starve. i mean, it is a humanitarian crisis and they are doing this on purpose. i mean, we can't sit back and watch innocent people at this level be targeted by, you know, a first world country like this. unprovoked invasion. at what point do we allow this to go on. lawrence: i got to get your response to this. this is some of the prop began propaganda.did you see any of tu were on the ground. >> no, i didn't see any of that i mean, we all the checkpoints.

most of the fighting was on the east side of kyiv on the east side of the river, you know, they had the east side surrounded. you could come in through southwestern side. i didn't see any of that. i mean, you know, look, at what point are you going to start believing russia? lawrence: that's exactly right. pete: dakota meyer if we only had more people in positions of power willing to say i was wrong we would be in a everywhere better place across the board and we appreciate the authenticity of your message this morning and the balance have. rachel: fascinating. >> it's one thing to sit over here and stand with kyiv or stand with ukraine and not be there. it's another to stand in ukraine. pete: isn't that the truth. dakota meyer, thanks a lot. save our allies continues to work there as well. really appreciate it. lawrence: american hero right there. pete: fox corporation has raised nearly 10 and a half million dollars to help support the red cross' efforts in ukraine. you can help, too.

head to rest crossed dotted organ/fox forward to give to the cause. rachel: well, so glad we had him. pete: i think the whole idea civilityian targeting. every tang from an apartment building has a sniper united states it. it if there is a sniper in if that's the fault of the ukrainians. that never stance. rachel: zelenskyy gave the civil yaps the weapons giving the russians. pete: all these targets are legitimate military targets they are not. he has the ambiguity to say that. lawrence: important to have him on to talk about this and dispel. some of the americans are distrustful some of the information going back and forth. to say have someone that's on the ground to say i didn't see that was important. pete: is he where a lot of americans are right now. man, i don't want to get involved but, man, in 2022? we are allowing this to happen

and oh by the way if i wanted to get involved, joe biden in kamala harris? rachel: i do want do i want these people running the war. pete: lloyd austin. rachel: saying the russians have logistical problems? that's rich. all right. don't go anywhere. brian kilmeade will join us live. but, first, president biden talking tough with china but beijing is show nothing signs of backing down in its support of russia. former trump deputy security adviser k.t. mcfarland, we love her. she breaks down what the administration needs to do next. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it. yep, them too. it's an invigorating rush... ...zapping millions of germs in seconds. for that one-of-a-kind whoa... ...which leaves you feeling... ahhhhhhh listerine. feel the whoa! ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪

have their own characterization of how it went. ultimately, i think we understand that there have been threats to china, there will be consequences if they support russia. what do you take away from all of this? >> i'm not sure what the consequences would be. at the beginning ever the olympics the russians and chinese signed a joint friendship treaty. no limit to their cooperation. presume plaably said i'm going into ukraine and you better support me and i'm sure that the chinese leader said well, if we have to take taiwan, will you support me, too? so here they are joined at the hip. and now in a month, vladimir putin has gone from being international strong man to international pariah. china is kind of stuck. on the other hand. what he this want from all of this is they will want that russian energy. you know, if the west sanctions russian energy, the chinese delighted to take it bargain basement prices so they don't want to end the bromance. they don't want to risk that energy import. on the other hand, they don't want to really want to be tied

at the hip international pa rye a china wants to be seen good guy run the 21st century and be seen as noble nation not the guy stuck with that vladimir putin. pete: they are doing the strategic ambiguity thing as it pertains to russia like we will straddle the line, take the economic benefit. help our guy even though he is marginal lived right now in the hopes that he this back us up and oh, by the way, we are both trying to get rid of the american led free world. >> that's the bottom line. they both want to get rid of the american led free world for the 21st century. pete: interesting. i need to get your take as well about threats coming out of the kremlin. u.s. intelligence is putin may be willing to threaten the use of further nuclear weapons. obviously any time we hear the word nuclear weapons and the use of them, everyone's ears perk up. would these threats be credible? do you think this is the type of thing we should be concerned about? >> yeah. absolutely. my concern, pete, is how does this end? you know, what's everybody's

goal here? is the goal that somehow vladimir putin is defeated and he goes back to moscow, tail between his legs? he can't do that and survive at home? he knows that he will escalate as you just suggested. he will escalate to some kinds of weapons of mass destruction. reports are or claimed already used hypersonic weapons yesterday. that totally owe bolivia united states the idea of well, get a no-fly zone or get those missile batteries in there. hypersonic weapons defeat all of those. is the other goal to say well, we're going to let him just go and level ukraine and kill every man, woman and child in the country? or is there some middle way? is there some negotiations? you know, zelenskyy has come out this week and said, okay, nato is off the table. well, that was one of putin's original demands. that ukraine says that they are not going to join nato. as far as the american role, what can we do here? we have one really silver bullet that we should use immediately. which is to pump more oil and natural gas, drive the price of oil from 100 and where is it

$120 a barrel back to where it was a year ago and president trump. back to $40 a barrel. and take away all of putin's money. that's his piggy bank. in america, our energy companies because they are privately owned, they make money on $40-barrel oil. and russia, they need it well above $80 a barrel. why? because their oil companies and gas companies are owned by the national government and that's what funds all of the government. take away their piggy bank and they won't be able to fight. pete: the silver bullet you described is the one thing we know they won't use. and that's what is so sobering for so many people when you look at the conflict and you mentioned end game and everyone kind of shrugs their soldiers ss no clear one in sight. thanks k.t. really appreciate it? >> thanks, pete. pete: you got it. judges should not hire these yale law students for protesting a bipartisan free speech event. >> yale has a policy of freedom

why is this significant? unfortunately, the majority of our supreme court justices, you a sense of what the future might look like. rachel: scary. pete: in the supreme court which as you said, lawrence, only tolerates one side of the conversation. there is an email and that because that video is from a couple of days ago. email out from d.c. virkt judge lawrence silverman and he is sort of putting out a clarion call to other judges saying look out for this. the latest events at yale law school prompt me to suggest that students who are identified as those willing to disrupt any such panel discussion should be noted. all federal judges and all federal judges are presumably committed to free speech should carefully consider whether any student so identified should be disqualified from potential clerkship. rachel: good for him although he just invited the mob to move in front of his house very brave of

him and very wise. these are the future leaders of our country not just going into the supreme court. pete: i wish it wasn't the case. rachel: once you underminority rule of law, equal justice. once you throw out the constitution and say it's a living document it doesn't matter. lawrence: this judge has a lifetime appointment. they can protest all they want. it's not like they can be taken off the bench. rachel: people hate the sheening. lawrence: d.c. circuit as you know most prestigious circuit. most of the people that go to the supreme court go first on the d.c. circuit chris citizen wagner with ads had some comments on "fox & friends" friday. take a look. >> these students were not only physically intimidating the other students and the speakers, they were pounding on the walls, blocking the exits and disrupting the event throughout. it was very current and alarming

and volatile and shouldn't take place on a campus on a sornl not allow mobs to rule engage in debate. the best lawyers are win some, write well and engage in critical thinking and yale needs to teach their students that. rachel: woke ideology gone from the campus and the schools that you have taught us so much about, pete, and now has infected our law schools which are the foundation of so much of our country and it's very scary. kristin wagner was called the "b" word escorted out with police and feared for her life. yale said it wasn't that big of a deal it wasn't that bad. pete: yale is not going to change. find somewhere else, unfortunately. a former oligarch once russia's

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends." as the russian invasion continues refugees are increasingly desperate to get out of ukraine.

pete: fleeing to poland, romania and hungary. lawrence: that's where we find alex hogan live near hungary's border with ukraine. hey, alex, what are you seeing on the ground? >> hey, good morning, lawrence, rachel, and pete. so, ukraine borders hungary. it's about an 83-mile border, but we see it already about 300,000 people arrive here. most of them arrived here in this small train station when they crs the border. immediately from here, many of these people take trains to other cities in hungary or across europe as the city really tries to push people out to larger destinations because these small towns simply don't have the adequate resources. but we met a lot of people this morning who have arrived from ukraine, some of them sharing their stories with us. there was one woman who arrived with her sisters in law, tearfully explained how difficult it is to explain how difficult it is leaving her husband behind. she didn't want to but he told

her she should leave. they spent two weeks in a bomb shelter. some of them not changing their clothes or washing their hair once because they could not leave. it just was not safe enough. she says that she is completely triggered at this point. she knows that the sirens she is hearing are not real but she just can't get them out of her head. >> i hear the sirens in my head but in real life,. >> nearly 300,000 of the roughly 3 million refugees have come through hungary and at its busiest, this train station welcomed about 4,000 people and volunteers here are cleaning. they are cooking. really they are doing whatever they can. >> 1,000 to 1500 hot meals today. children and women arriving after 48 hours of travel. minus 6 degrees outside. a hot soup is what they are

really longing for. >> people bring and they do whatever they can. you can see a large group of people behind me. some of them have come off trains from ukraine. and some of them are waiting to go to new destinations. for those who have no idea where to go, there is a school here where people can sleep until they figure out their next move, guys. rachel: thank you, alex. lawrence: important report. stay safe. exile oligarch once russia's richest man spoke to our own brian kilmeade about putin's ukraine end game. >> if he does lose the war, then there will be a great deal of people, actually in russia. both those close around him and a lot of people on the street who would like to do something to shorten his stay in power. pete: you can catch the whole interview tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern time on one nation with brian kilmeade and brian joins us now. thanks for being here. this is going to be a fascinating interview to watch. is he effectively saying this oligarch, if putin loses and he

goes home, is he probably done, which means he is probably likely to double down on his efforts in ukraine. even if it hasn't been successful thus far. brian: right. i mean, you would think a guy who has lost between 7 and 15,000 troops in a month, against a force that he was supposed to defeat in three days would be on the ropes anyway. he says no. and he is this guy. he might have remembered. he is the richest guy in russia. there is transition from yeltsin to putin and he is friends with yelton and he is like i don't like the way putin is doing things. he thinks he will start another party. he pus get in a cage and jailed. goes on four hunger strikes this guy is too much trouble they sent him to the u.k. he feels like he knows the mind of vladimir putin. gross miscaucus in every way. he has been so isolated since covid. a lot of traditional schools of thought for him. but get this, guys, even though he lost so many troops. even though from our perspective

he has been humiliated as a former super power, he just wants kyiv. and if he gets kyiv, he will punish the baltic states. that's what he really believes. that is why this matters. you can't stop this meg glow maniac he does not care how much russia bleeds. rachel: interesting get you got. all of us wondering what are the oligarchs doing? he is an ex. but the other oligarchs have the ability to pressure putin or maybe even pay off some of that inner circle people to go against him if they want. does he give you any indication about the capability or the willingness of putin to use nuclear weapons or does he think he is just saber ratling on that? brian: he says he would not put anything past him. i just think you are an exoligarch who could soon be a billionaire. it's hard to break up with

oligarchy. [laughter] brian: interesting you bring it up, rachel, i said what about the oligarch. i don't want to give away the whole interview. i said what about the oligarchs. the fact that they are being sanctioned and pressured? no, they work for him. a lot of times they are just holding money for him and other people but for the most part, you take away their mansions and take away their planes, they will feel the pressure. they will feel their lifestyle change but for the most part he is pretty insulated from any type of pressure that they would put on him. he said it's like pressuring somebody that's cleaning your house. get your mind around that. it's good to rattle the people that are providing a lot of the finances for the putin fortune. but it's not necessarily putting pressure on vladimir putin. lawrence: that's interesting. so, brian, these aren't the time of people that he tells i'm going to war he is seeking their approval. like they have no say in this, right? >> no, it's one man's say. lawrence: unbelievable. lawrence: i asked him this. i just said listen, does the world have a putin problem or a

russian problem? he said the world has got a russia problem because of vladimir putin. and he doesn't know what would be next, but there is a point where there will be enough pressure will there be a change? and then he said i don't know if you know this or not, i'm not really a russian. i'm from ukraine. he goes i'm from kharkiv, every bomb that drops, these are my family, these are my relatives. and his goal, i mean for a guy that's been in jail for 10 years and lost everything and i imagine a guy that talented had a way to get it back and he was not doing it in an illegal fashion. he was hit on trumped up charges. he said i want to go back. his goal to go back to what is now ukraine and help rebuild his country. and he does worry that sooner or later they are going to have to collapse unless they get a no-fly zone, which we all know is not practical. so, he is not a military expert, but he has also paid the price. and to have everything and to be down to the fact that beating on

a daily basis to admit the things he wouldn't and didn't break, you know that in the back of his mind there is a whole bunch of people that want to get at vladimir putin. pete: looking forward to that interview. brian, what else is on one nation tonight? brian: so you need more, pete? that wasn't enough? pete: i do. brian: i appreciate it fantastic. what else? turn the page, enough about the russians. all right. we're going to talk about bill barr. i'm also -- he is going to talk about the case the hunter biden case and the fact that he knows for sure joe biden lied on the debate stage and that is clear and the frustration he felt when i came out and said the russian atlanta is russian information. it's not. will ian conner is going to answer this question. why is the world safer because of the mets and yankees won't be able to play at home because they are not vaccinated and why is kyrie irving one of the super stars in the league why is the world a better place because he can't play home games not

vaccinated? the idiocy of these covid restrictions were in the last throws ian conner outlines that. pete: now it's enough, brian. thank you very much. rachel: brian, i spent all week with you. i watched you on laura ingraham last night. we have you today and i'm going to watch you don't. i think i have had my fill of brian this week? brian: i'm sick of me. [laughter] rachel: what did he say? pete: i'm sick of me. rachel: we are not sick of you. we love you. great stuff. stick around, dan bongino is coming up. plus, mask mandates have ended almost everywhere. except on planes. two pilots are suing the cdc. good for them. next. ♪ allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good. ♪ ♪ ♪a little bit of chicken fried♪

racetracks but they repaved the track. so this year's race we will be wide open all the way around. it's a whole new complex but, still, just as much fun and all the energy though of nascar this year we have had great crowds with our new car and everybody is all pumped up. so it's a great military weekend with the folds of honor 500. rick: hey, kurt, every race kind of has its own character. what makes the atlanta race than the race last weekend or other races? >> atlanta is much faster than the phoenix racetrack and then, again, with the new pavement and the new feel out on the track, every practice session is vital to gain information and then we race here a second time later this summer. so any time you have two races it's that first race you got to get all your homework done. rick: exactly. tell me about folds of honor. folds of honor is sponsoring this race. such a great organization. you guys are a patriotic group. what is it like to have a race that is sponsored by a group that does such good for our

veterans' families? >> yeah, anything that we can do as a group to help our military is fantastic. whether it's a sponsorship. whether it's tickets for them to come to the races. over the years i bought 100 tickets every nascar race and vet trip.org helps me distribute those. any time we can give back to the military, friends like joey jones who is a correspondent with you guys, here in atlanta. everybody is always pushing to try to make a difference. >> joey a good friend of yours, i know. tell me how you are feeling. do you have a shot at the race tomorrow? >> of course. of course. i have michael jordan here are breathing over mifer my shoulder he is the team owner. toyota knows we need to do a better job of finding some of that speed. again, it's adapting to all the newness. that's what this year is about. maybe that's what has allowed me to be out here for 23 years. it's adapting and not getting complacent. rick: 23 years. you got some experience at

adapting. best of luck. i'm going to be heading down to atlanta right after the show today and i'm going to be broadcasting live tomorrow morning right there from the racetrack. hopefully we will see you out there. you can visit folds of honor.org to learn more about folds of honor and catch the quick trip 500 tomorrow on fox 2:30 eastern. rachel, send it over to you. rachel: thank you, rick. the tsa once again extending the mask requirement due to quote cdc recommendations, now a group of 10 pilots across three different airlines are suing the cdc claiming federal officials adopted the policy despite the latest science showinghat face masks are ineffective. here now are two commercial pilots who are part of this lawsuit i'm going to start with you jenvier. tell me how wearing a mask impacts your ability to do your work. >> good morning and thanks for inviting us on.

rachel: good morning. >> most people would initially imagine that it has to do with the actual wearing of the mask itself. but our purpose as a group of pilots is actually much deeper than that and more administrative. the mandate itself has put us in a precarious situation where we forced to choose between adhering to the mandate or adhering to the federal aviation regulation. the regulations haven't changed for us through this entire pandemic. they have outlined everything that's required for us for all of our licenses and certificates. including our medical certification and all of these things are completely explained and highlighted in our regulations. so the mask mandate itsself the exemption seconds explicitly says who is exempt under the mandate itself. and it includes our profession is regulated by the federal aviation regulations.

and the cdc is not able to assert its authority over us by virtue of the tsa which is also not allowed to exert its authority over us. so it's more of an administrative issue for us. the masks itself is a secondary issue and it's a pretty big problem as well. air rage and not to mention the physiological effects on pilots and none of this has been studied. so we are definitely in a rough position in that respect. rachel: pretty amazing the amount of money we have spent on covid and we don't have studies on how it effects, for example, a pilot wearing it for that many hours flying. how it effects children and we are masking them up and still are in many states so that's a really fair point. chris, why did you want to go the lawsuit route? a lot of people are speculating that maybe president biden might take down the mandate in a couple months. you say you want the lawsuit so it doesn't come -- so we know

they never can do this again; is that correct? >> right. i mean, this thing we don't at this point in time to come back and particularly with our profession as pilots, you know, this next november the flu or whatever will come back you need to wear this mask. this mask effects us differently in our job. we don't live and work in the normal environment that most people do. we are at high altitude under high stress. lots of responsibility. lots of decisions have to be made and the faa requires us to be in tip top condition and therefore we are the owners of our medical and basically what pilots are trying to do is protect our medical. there have been no studies with wearing a mask and as such everybody is a little different. everybody is affected differently by this new and we feel like this is a safety issue for the flying public. rachel: yeah. it certainly is a safety issue.

it also makes traveling, which has become, you know, less enjoyable ever since 9/11, even more less enjoyable. so it's the an issue all the way around, safety and so forth. hope you win your lawsuit. we all want to be free from these mask mandates. we appreciate you stepping forward and doing that on behalf of so many americans. >> all right, thank you. rachel: you got it. the cdc has not replied to fox's request for comment, and we want to thank you again. the final hour of pox and friends -- "fox & friends" starts right now. mug. pete: we begin with a fox news alert, a u.s. military aircraft crashes in norway killing off four people beyond -- onboard. those crew members will taking part in an exercise. lauren:s but it comes amid rising tensions. ukrainian president zelenskyy says it's time for more peace talks, but the kremlin claims to

have introduced a new state to the war with. rachel: mike tobin joins us now tracking the developments from lviv, ukraine. good morning. >> reporter: it's very difficult to tell you any advancements have been made in terms of the russian offensive. they really seem to be bogged down at the major population centers. they haven't claimed many major population centers at all, they've failed to surround the capital city of kyiv. but still the civilians are paying a very, very heavy price. the town of kharkiv to the far east of the country is one of the first towns that was hit as russian or positives came east from the -- forces came east from the border. ukrainian fighters are preventing russians from getting into that town, but they can't stop the bombardment. human rights watch estimates the civilian casualties there at 450, but what we know is that the morgue in kharkiv is overrun.

ukraine's has told russian leaders it is time for meaningful negotiations. glpt thanks to the courage and professional training of ukrainian armed forces, the occupation forces were stopped many almost all direction. it's time to meet, time to talk. it is time to restore territorial integrity and justice for ukraine. >> reporter: to the far south of town of mariupol looks apocalyptic. 80% of the housing has been destroyed. we cannot update you on that theater that took a direct hit. the last information is that 130 people got out of the basement, yesterday rescuers could not get back in there to help anyone if who was still in that rubble. we're told by local politicians because they were being fired upon as they went many to try to help. today at least ten humanitarian corridors are forming up, one where mariupol is located. there's another's escape from

luhansk, corridors will shape up as convoys with buses and civilian cars. field and medicine are also going back in -- food and medicine. most interesting, there is a convoy of buses going into the town of kherson, and that is interesting because that is control by the russians. but you have food and medicine going back into those towns because people need it so desperately. back to you in new york. pete: mike, quick question. there was footage we've shown in the this morning of russian troops inside the city of mariupol looking like they're going street to street shooting up at an apartment building. has it come to the point in mariupol where russian troops are have gone inside the city and they're prepared to go block to block, and could that give us an indication that's something they'll actually attempt to do in these modern cities where where they could be shooting or dropping molotov cocktails from above? >> reporter: certainly we are willing to do that sort of thing.

you've seen them back off and just pound that that town with artillery. so civilian casualties isn't something that's going to upset them at all. going street to street, if that's what they needed to do to control it, that that's what's going to happen. we have seen them getting out of the vehicles from time to time with all the different videos that are have come around. so, yeah, street to street fighting is a safe prediction right now. pete: mike tobin, thank you very much. i was struck by that footage because so far we haven't seen a lot of that actual close quarters combat footage. there's also reports of chechnyan fighters who are known for their house to house fighting. i don't know if they're in mare -- mariupol right now, but so far we've seen bypassing of city centerings. that kind of war is incredibly deadly for russian troops. you're fighting up at an apartment if complex, if you're defending the city, you probably have snipers and others, what, are you going to clear that whole building with those men?

that's a manpower-intensive exercise if you're the russians. lawrence: i'm just curious, why do you think they shift to something like this? pete: today must feel control of that city center is central to whatever strategic -- they're going to control that corridor, they've shelled it, they think they've probably cleared it out. but clearing a city in real terms mean clearing it out of enemies, and you can't do that in tanks or just with bombs. if they think they're going to the go city by city like that, nast not a well-trained soldier firing up at at an apartment building. obviously, the u.s. would do it with tar more proficient tactics than what we're seeing, but it could show you we are being told we're going into these city centers. lawrence: the russian propaganda is that this is not happening, and now we have video of this happening.

i'm curious what the spin is going to be from the kremlin on this specific issue right here. let's bring our friend in, dan bongino, host of "unfiltered," i call him the o.g. of weekend prime time. dan, you've been listening to us this morning. we had dakota meyer, former -- well, he is a medal of honor recipient. one perspective, this network has a wide array of perspectives on in the. knowing the breaking news that's happening right now, some of the video that pete just plaided, what do you think the response -- played, what do you think the response should be from the u.s.? where do you stand? >> yeah, there are a lot of wide ranges of perspectives here, and that's why i like working here. nobody's silenced, everybody's free to voice their opinion. listen listen, ca doe that's an american hero. his interview was amazing. i just have a different perspective on this. you know, i think 2007 the street to street fighting and what's happening in mariupol

is -- putin has to show an example of success here, guys, right? he has to take over some major metro center somewhere, install a puppet government and send a message to the rest of ukraine, hey, look what i did. there's chaos going on elsewhere. i'm shelling your cities with artillery, but look? we pacified mariupol and got this puppet government. you may not like it, but at least it's peaceful and you can go back to your lives. that's what he has to do, right? he can't keep a country of 30 million plus people under his control if he doesn't have some example of what that control looks like. the problem, as pete was saying, he's got to level the city to do it because he didn't anticipate the resistance of the ukrainians. i think tata's where we can help, a model we've used in the past with some success. but like i said, the problem is he's leveled the whole city. i mean, he's a puppet if master with no puppets. what's he going to do?

lord over burned-out cinderblock? if one other thing, the firing of this hypersonic missile. this is a huge escalation, guys. when you look at the target, this around a tillly depot he claims it was the, right in there was no reason to use a hypersonic missile with that type of capability and payload. he could have taken that out with more conventional weapons. he did that to sented a message, and the message i'm seeing is this guy is getting increasingly desperate, ask and he's at that stage of a fight where the guy on the bottom runs out of gas, and you can see in his face, you can see him panicking. listen, you do any if kind of hma, right before they go down for the count. i think that's where vlad myrrhed putin is now, he's in a panic. rachel: that's my fear, actually. the fear of a lot of people. we heard from general david perkins saying that putin is desperate, and desperate people do desperate things. we have jennifer griffin reporting that our intelligence

agencies are saying that he is going to increase the threat of using nuclear war. so what do you do when you have this cornered animal, somebody who, you know, feels desperate? it raises the stakes. and nuclear weapons are on the table. i'm sorry, i'm very worried. i have children, i'm concerned. >> can i just say on a personal level, you and i have been friends for a long time. i deeply appreciate you taking a principled position and not moving on it. you're a person of character, and i've been watching you all week. and i want to say that publicly. rachel: thank you. >> i worry too, rachel. you have a mushroom cloud that goes up in downtown miami, you're going to see a whole lot of people changing their perspective. this isn't a joke. the man actually has nuclear weapons and and has actually threatened to use them. i'm sorry, but i don't want to read your opinion in a major newspaper about how you think he's not going to use them, okay? i want to see what you're doing to prevent this escalating so he doesn't use them. now, granted, okay, dan, what's

your idea? you deserve to hear that from me too. it's not good enough to say opposite either. we have to send a message, and i'm sure it's happening right now whether through our sources, our intel, shake the trees, whatever we need to do to this hierarchy of the russian military, listen, you guys can't win this, okay? and his only path out -- your boss there, putin -- is nuclear weapons. you guys have kids too. you understand your kids are going to be dead too. mutually assured destruction is a very real thing. and as i did see in a very good op-ed this week, we have to offer them the offramp on the highway. putin doesn't want it, rachel. he's not are interested. we've given him every reason to stop, and he just keeps escalating. it's the people who are ulmately going to push the buttons in that nuclear chain, he was to know there's an offramp. i don't care what we need to do, buy you a home in cyprus somewhere, i don't care. we will find a way out if there is some kind of internal mutiny going on and you refuse to obey

these orders moving forward. right now i see it as the only way. he clearly doesn't want the offramp. we've offered it to him a thousand times. there's no other way. we have to stop tending this -- pretending this guy's reasonable, he's not. path -- pete: no, if you're losing, irrational actions start to look rational to someone like that. dan, want to get your take on one other subject which does, is related because of, you know, business interests that occurred in places like ukraine, china and elsewhere. the hunter biden story, which came out right before the election, was only covered in the new york post. it was called mugs misinformation -- russian misinformation everywhere else. now "the new york times" is verifying, finally, 16 months later, that that it was the laptop of hunter biden, and the e-mails are legit. yet when jen psaki's asked about it, she won't talk about it or talk about whether hunter biden has unwound, is divested from

the firms that he and his family were invested in. here's a portion of that exchange. >> you told me last year that you were unfamiliar with the senate report that allege ad that the first son or companies linked to the first son received $3.5 million from the rich woman in russia. she's not been sanctioned yet by the u.s. government. how is president biden managing conflicts of interest when it comes to people who have done business with his family, and you explain what this $3.5 million? >> i don't have any information on act a rassi of that report -- accuracy of that report -- >> [inaudible] >> thank you, go ahead. i think we're moving on because we've got to get to -- >> my question about the conflict of interest when it comes to china is last year the first son's attorney said that he did vested from a chinese informs ifment fund. -- investment fund. we have received not even basic

group of operatives here in the united states to make sure it got in the media. the same exact people who laundered the fake black ledger, the same people were involved and in meetings with the whistleblower who wanted to get trump impeached for their lies about the call with, who? with ukraine. all of that information was summed up nicely and kept in the hunter biden laptop because hunter was using ukraine as a pig ifgy bank just like -- piggybank just like the dnc operatives and the swampy republicans who were involved in the collusion hoax, they were getting money from ukraine too. this whole laptop fiasco, the reason the democrats need it to go away, is because it sums up how slimy, sleazy political operatives of both parties have used ukraine as a piggyback -- piggybank for the last decade. that's why they want this story

to go away, the swamp on both sides. the same people involved in the collusion hoax were the same people in the impeachment hoax, and they all have connections to ukraine on both sides. i lay it out in detail. it'ser reputable. the white house meeting logs are right there. it's the same exact people. they are praying you don't know what they did in ukraine. rachel: yeah. well, if the media had not censored this story, i believe donald trump would have won, and i believe we would not have been in this war. so it has massive political consequences here in america, and this is a shame. it's really hard. we're talking about russian disinformation which there certainly is, and we're talking about all kinds of collusion and interference in elections. talk about interference with elections, talk about propaganda. that's happening right here too, and we need to get to the bottom of it because we're losing our moral authority. >> there's no question it interferedded in the election. they took a poll post-election are, 17% of biden supporters,

17% said they would have voted different if they knew the information about a hunter. there's no question. that's not even up for debate. there's no question big tech rigged it. that's not even disputable anymore. they did it. there's no question about it. they manipulated the course of american history all for the worst. no doubt about it. rachel: yeah. pete: yep. and still to this day, dan, abc, cbs, nbc all have covered it for zero seconds. rachel: zero seconds. pete: it's a revelation "the new york times" finally came to it. lawrence: you can watch dan tonight at 9 p.m. >> i mention somethingsome i've got dr. marty makary on tonight, a story about blood clots in young and healthy events -- rachel: oh, i'm so glad you're covering that. >> yes. nobody's covering that. i've got pete on, who was great, and also a navy seal, a real hero, an immigrant from formerly communist poland.

he's amazing, and he just got back from poland. he's got a per speckive on this -- perspective on this talking to people who fled ukraine that's far different than what you're hearing on the media, i promise. you're not going to want to miss it. rachel: wow. blockbuster show. pete: thank you. lawrence: i'll be watching as well, brother. >> you know i always watch your show. you're terrific. you do an amazing job. rachel: thanks, dan. you're the best. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. alaska congressman don young, the longest serving current member of the house, has died. the republican was first elected in 1973 and served under 10 different presidential administrations through his long tenure. he became dean of the house in 2017. house gop leader kevin mccarthy showing this photo on twitter remembering his colleague and friend as, quote, a giant with a heart as big as the capitol and a spirit as strong as the alaskan wild.

pete: we're back with a fox news alert. four americans, unfortunately, confirmed dead after a u.s. military aircraft crashes during an overnight nato training exercise in norway. the military drills were reportedly unrelated to the russian invasion, but surrounding nato countries, of course, keeping a close watch as

moscow claims to be stepping up its deadly attacks on ukraine. they are. retired general keith kellogg is a fox news contributor and former national security adviser to vice president pence. he joins us now. general, first of all, your reaction to these training exercises that, unfortunately, i believe it was an osprey helicopter that went down in bad weather, but nato is making preparations right now should this war widen. >> yeah, pete, thanks for having me. look, you know very well when you get involved in exercises in the military, you generally operate if many some extreme levels meaning in the middle of the night, in tough weather, tough conditions, and this is just one of those that happened. i hate to say it, this happens when you've got a lot of mechanical things going on. it was a b-22 osprey, it was tough weather, and he were flying, doing the stuff they're supposed to be doing. and god bless all of them, the men and women in uniform, that go out and operate. it's just part of a nato

exercise, but it's hard. even though you've seen it, these things happen. i hate to say it. you know, for the general public out there, driving down the road the red light in your car comes on, these things happen. but the military's trained to do it, and god bless them for doing it. pete: we always try to say train as you fight, which means train in difficult circumstances, and we salute everybody still out there doing this, and we pray for these families, for sure. general, our u.s. intel is now saying they believe vladimir putin may threaten the use of nuclear weapons, and that's the big word, the umbrella over this whole thing. when you hear an assessment like that, do you think he would be willing to introduce them if desperate enough? >> yeah, pete. look, when you start talking about nuclear weapons or chem chemical or biological, that's when you take a really deep route because you've now crossed a threshold. pete: yeah. >> their pill military philosophy is escalate to deescalate. and they've got those weapons in

their inventory. years ago we had them, we had a system called the davy crockett in the '60s, and the reason we got rid of it, our preference was we didn't want to start world war iii. they've got them and they intend to use them. and my fear, concern is that e may cross that line and what he may do is what's called a demonstration. you use this device, a subcullton -- kiloton weapon, and you put it in the middle of a field somewhere, watersome to say, hey, i've got these weapons, and i'm willing to use it. we need to make sure he understands, his military understands he is then crossing an incredibly deep red line going there. and we we need to be thinking about if he does this, because it's now in the realm of the possible, what is our reaction going to be? we must think through that because he's crossed the threshold. and he's got the weapons to do it. and we need to think, okay, he's got this special combat readinessing which he said raises his nuclear condition. we've got a defense condition

that generally goes 1-5, one meaning we're at war, five is really low, wily operate at four. when the cuban missile crisis started, we razedded that to level -- can raised that to level two, and 9/11 we raised it to three. we need to make some decisions. he's trying to send us a signal, we need to make sure we send a signal back to him which is very strong combined with the other two nuclear powers in the west, both the french and the british as well. but this is a dangerous line he's approaching, and i wouldn't put it past him to do something really stupid right now. pete: it is, you're right, a deep breath hearing about it because talking about the next step of what we do if he does that means terrible things for our country and the globe. let's pray whatever methods can be taken to stop that from happening are taken today by our leadership. general keith kellogg, thank you so much for your insight. appreciate it. all right. still ahead, a principal judge sending a warning nation wild

[inaudible conversations] >> grow up. lawrence: a federal judge is sending a warning nationwide after a video of yale law students chaosically interpreting a free speech -- was shared online. police were even called in. thousand the circuit judge

writing an e-mail to judges across country saying, quote, all federal judges are presumably committed to free speech. any student identified should be disqualified for potential clerkships. pete: i agree. lawrence: vivek ramaswamy is a graduate of yale law school, and he joins us now. are you surprised at these antics going on at a bipartisan speech debate? >> yeah. the irony here, lawrence, is that the event was about free speech and, actually, there was a conservative lawyer and a liberal one, and part of the point of the event was actually to show they could work with together on issues like free speech that they were litigating together. i will say this, as a graduate of places like harvard college and yale law school, the climate there is fundamentally different than it was ten years ago. and in this isn't even an issue about the loss of free speech so much. after all, the right to protest is part of free speech, and that did end up proceeding. this is about the loss of

civility in our discourse, okay? in the name of diversity, we have now created a culture where we don't tolerate alternative viewpoints. in the name of inclusion, we've created this culture of exclusion of viewpoints at one end of the political spectrum. and an interesting thought experiment for me is imagine the tables had been turned and it was actually the people who opposed not the conservative speaker, but the liberal speaker who ultimately shouted things like we will literally fight you punctuated by expletives in the hallways and during the event. there's no doubt our culture wouldn't tolerate that type of inappropriate incivility. and i hope this is a wake-up call to not only yale, but academic institutions across the country to say when we actually say we stand for inclusion, that means we include all viewpoints to be able to be represented without being shouted down there if students even having the opportunity to hear them. lawrence: these kids are out of control. one of the panel itselfs was kristin wagner, she works for adf. this is what she had to say. >> the whole purpose of the

panel was to demonstrate kiss course between two -- discourse between two ideological opponents. this was physical intimidation and bullying that took place in the in the presence of yale administration. so what's more disturbing about this is that there's audio, and yale is blatantly misrepresenting what happened. lawrence: vivek, i think the this is a turning point. this is the first time i've heard a federal judge on the d.c. can sir -- circuit say, you know what? judges, these clerks -- kids shouldn't be clerks for you. >> you saw this break out on college campuses, now those kids are graduating and going to graduate schools. pretty soon they're moving into federal clerks and pretty soon into the legal community and professional community altogether. so what began in the corners of liberal art as colleges across the country as protests to challenge the system have actually become the mainstream, new system itself and is slowly infecting every part of our

culture. unique part is i think liberals need to remind themselves that, actually, the approximate of free speech and the right to be able to be exposed to all viewpoints was actually historically a liberal value, and now it's organizations like the federalist society and even conservatives on these campuses who are pleading that case instead. it's ultimately about the pursuit of truth through the exchange of free speech and open ideas. that's what i think both sides need to embrace, and i had a chance to talk to students who attended that event. i'm really ashamed of what happened there. lawrence: people like you speaking out is the first step. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you. lawrence are: so the biden administration could remove iran's revolutionary forward from the foreign terrorist list. we'll break down why that's simply a terrible idea. that's next on "fox & friends."

of the islamic republic. directly controlled by the ayatollah. at this point, over 200,000 members of this terror army. remember, it was declared a terrorist organization many in 2019 under the trump administration, and rightfully so. since its inception it has been targeting american troops. hezbollah, affiliated and created by the islamic revolutionary guard corps. the marine barracks bombing in 1983, obviously massive loss of u.s. marine life in that that particular attack, directly targeting marines in lebanon. then you have the u.s. embassy annex bombing in beirut which we don't talk about as much, but there there were 24 killed there including 2 u.s. service members, targeting directly americans on foreign soil. that's the mission of this organization. the quds force, which was led by cast semisoleimani if which was their expeditionary force is a branch of the irgc. so this terrorist organization

which works with the quds force targets our allies around the globe. another example, bombing in saudi arabia. what was housed at cobar rt towers, if you remember? it was the place where the u.s. air force's 440th wing was enforcing the no-fly zone in southern iraq. so you lost 19 airmen were killed, more than 400 u.s. and international military members and civilians injured, again, a suicide bomb of over 5,000 pounds that killed 19 americans was we were there participating in the effort. this is one quite personal to me and many who fought in the iraq war, it's clear, we have evidence of iran specifically focusing on american troops in iraq. over 600 killed by iranian-backed mill saw shahs. explosively-formed penetrators, efps, it's very, very deadly ieds targeted american

vehicles on the battlefield. we know for certain it was this organization and the quds force that supplied, trained or were directly involved in the deaths of over 600 americans on the battlefield. and then you've got the bomb plot intended to kill the saudi ambassador on u.s. soil that was foiledded in washington, d.c. this 2011, not to mention what's going on in syria today as the quds force if backed up basharal as cad. they control hezbollah which wants to wipe israel off the ap map as well, guys. so from the if beginning, from 1979 until today, the quds force and the irgc's focus has been exporting the revolution of iran and targeting their e enemy, to wield their influence. and so the fact that we're at the table saying we're going to take them off the terrorist list means we're rejecting exactly what their mission is, which is terrorizing the west and americawhatever sphere of influence they can have. rachel: so they're taking them off the will list so that then they could enter into this

negotiation -- pete: one of the conditions the iranians have. if we're going to enter this deal, you guys should take the irgc off the terrorist -- rachel: and we want the deal so bad because we would rather buy our oil from them than from texas, is that right? lawrence lawrence right. we've talked to pipeline workers as well, and they're upset about this. the name, obviously, is very symbolic, putting them on that list. but do you think also the u.s. changes its posture as well when it comes to this group as well? pete: how could it not be perceived as a change in posture if you're declassifying what type of enemy they are for our forces? but it, you know, being out of iraq, being elsewhere, now the irgc's effectively in control in many parts of iraq as well. they wield significant influence in syria and in lebanon with hezbollah. the death of qassem soleimani was a big blow to them. that was under the trump

administration. they're still seeking revenge for it, they've said that openly. so taking them off the will list doesn't make them peel like we're in a stronger position -- rachel: and isn't that why they also have a hit out on mike pompeo -- pete: and ores. they want an assassination in retaliation for the death of qassem soleimani who directly has the blood of ovever 600 at least and many more americans on his hands. for the terror he attempted to export. lawrence le unbelievable. rachel: it's crazy. it's really hard to believe. pete: feels like it's upside down. lawrence lawrence i'm sure i'll be covering that on my show tonight at 10 p.m. eastern time. i also talk with some spring breakers -- rachel: oh, tough job. [laughter] lawrence: very tough. take a look at a preview. are y'all enjoying it? >> i love it. lawrence: how many parties have y'all went to so far? [inaudible conversations] don't drink any water.

you don't want to hydrate yours -- yourself? >> no water. wake up,ped get a good meal in and start drinking. harris lawrence did you see those kids overdosed? >> yeah, we did. lawrence: what do y'all think about that? >> i think it's really scary. >> that just gave me more, like, you can't trust anyone. >> my mom called me, and she said i can't smoke anybody else's weed -- [inaudible] >> i had a cousin who died of a fentanyl overdose from heroin. lawrence: what you see is it was all fun and games until i told them that 40% of the drugs on the market right now is laced with fentanyl. and it was very clear that some of them had already been using, ask they got very scared about that. which was my goal. they need to be squared straight. rachel: that's what you were on assignment doing? [laughter] warning kids. [laughter] pete: about his age group, i was going to say.

rachel: you're just going to have to tune in -- pete: do you actually think young kids will start to say i'm not taking that? lawrence lawrence i think they were visibly shaken, especially when they heard about the two of the kids that overdosed didn't actually take it, they were just giving cpr. they were, like, what? we didn't know that could happen. so a lot of these kids on spring break, they experiment with these drugs, and they don't realize you may not be getting the real deal. rachel: this is not 1985 spring break, this is a different thing. and you're right to go tell them that. still ahead, this couple fled ukraine as kids during world war ii. today they're reliving the nightmare as they watch their homeland destroyed again. their message next. plus, tune in tomorrow for another packed five hours of "fox & friends" weekend. gordon chang, maria bartiromo and and dr. marc siegel. ♪

jailed all the leadership, and ukraine did not get independence. however, to some degree people are living there and helping germans to defeat the russians because russians were a bigger enemy than germany. rachel: sure. although we didn't get what we wanted. and we lived under german occupation from 1941 until 1944. by that time russia started pushing germans out of germany, and and because my father was associated with the ukrainian -- [inaudible] who formed an underground army, let's call it like that, he
