3:02 am
3:03 am
at the beginning to say there
3:04 am
is no safe place? if we don't have the direct attack they could target us anyway. so tell us more about the demeanor of the people there. >> you don't see a whole lot of flight. and then grown by 200,000 since the start of the war. people are definitely on a war footing there is a seriousness despite 30000 feet it was a people going about the normal day. so the paranoia has grown. >> this is a food shortage or food panic given what you have just said about the war footing that people are panic shopping in anticipation of something quick. >> that happened in the early
3:05 am
days and it seems to have calmed down now. and it seems the grocery stores are normal and the atms. >> that leveled off. >> helping to rescue more than
3:06 am
30 family so far. and just least a second house. founder things for joining us. so what are you doing to assist and what are the current conditions? >> what i'm doing is helping my friend out and moved to ukraine about ten years ago and with the onset of the russian attack because he was living there he had friends from russia to want to get out of the country so he opened his apartment and basically started as friend and family what what started as a complete stranger so i started a nonprofit and got a bunch of medical supplies out here and
3:07 am
then got into and then to extend for a week and a half for the medical supplies in their from their we're basically just housing the people. but sometimes it is mundane because what does that daily schedule look like? it is mattresses and that they will be a lot more people coming through there so we bought a mattress. we rented a second place. and just to open that up like this friday. but that's basically what i am doing. rachel: you fled vietnam yeah. as you know, i also served in
3:08 am
the marine corps, when the fall of afghanistan and trying to get the people out, i did what most americans could do, just sat there, watched, donated. took various organizations and i felt, i felt really guilty about it. so when this happened, i know, after talking to ron for a while i basically looked at my wife. she knew what i was going to ask. i have empathy for any refugee, background, religion, politics, i live in refugee camps. they suck, they are horrible. they have rats. i would not want anyone to go through it. i'm not egotistical enough to think i can help the 1.5 million
3:09 am
that fled. if i can help one sometimes we have people come through the homes, when they leave, so appreciative. some will go out in the market to bring back what they can. they don't have a lot. makes me feel with all the evil going on there is a little bit chance of humanity, if you will. we had an incident the other day, the family came in the middle of the night. they left the next morning but, basically their daughter i can't remember name of the town, standing in line, buying some food, unconfirmed but according to what we heard, i guess russian troops came up and killed all these civilians. her daughter was one of them. it is just mine blowing.
3:10 am
joey: always faithful motto of the marine corps. most marines, military take honest to god creed of life, so many veterans on chat rooms, social media, want to pick up a rifle and go to ukraine and fight. doing something humanitarian. helping people. what advice do you have to the veterans that feel that way, how people are supportive of what you're doing? >> yeah. so, you bring up a great point, when i put it out there i was heading out, i do a lot of philanthropy work within the veterans community. i had a lot of veterans ask how they could help. my pushback, really think about where you are in your life, you have a family, raising kids, newborn, think about that. think what kind of commitment you're willing to make, going into war zone. you have to be, you know, you can't just think that it's have this idealistic romantic view. you have to be prepared for the
3:11 am
worst-case scenario, being captured, being used as propaganda, dying, getting hit by a rocket, just like i just heard, you guys talk about a bomb shelter that was just decimated, here i am getting ready to go into a bomb shelter, if you want to come over, sure. i actually do have some friends in the utah area that will come over. they will stay on the polish side. rent some vehicles, get ref goes. the other part is to donate money. we originally thought we wanted to ship supplies here, cost is so prohibitive. people venmo me, paypal me money. i can go out into the community, put that money back into the community, whether buying groceries, mattress like i did. that is what anyone for myself,
3:12 am
i'm here, purely on humanitarian mission. you know, done the kicking in doors but when we talked about it you know the group that we have actually very, if you look at our combat experience, we have a lot of combat experience. we spent most of us over a decade in the middle east whether iraq, pakistan, afghanistan. what kind of an impact can we have? you know i've done picking up of a weapon but i feel at this point in my life i can make a bigger impact working on the humanitarian side. i've got those logistical skills i want to put to use. rachel: wow, this is incredible. thank you so much for joining us. thank you so much for sharing your story. for all the work you're doing you're inspiring people. pete: thank you very much.
3:13 am
task force 824 the name of his origination. i believe august 24th is independence day in ukraine. that is why he chose -- rachel: i love he said, if you try to look at the whole thing it is overwhelming, almost paralyzing but i will go help even one person. that is sort of the mentality mother teresa always had, just going to help one person but you know, he can also kick in doors if he needs to. unlike mother teresa he has resource skills in this war zone. joey: real quick, most important thing you pointed out. ukrainian army are there to fight, pick up to protect, help people can give, is logistical humanitarian side of it, they can't do both. pete: i love his description having lived in a refugee camp. wanting to prevent 9 feeling for other people. tf824.org. >> he said it sucked.
3:14 am
i pretty much imagine that is true. pete: another little of things that well, suck, it's gas prices, pain folks are feeling at the pump. not like what they're feeling in ukraine, don't get me wrong, i'm not comparing the two, if you're working paycheck to paycheck meet, increase in prices hits you wear it hurts. almost $7 in california, report of gas prices because of all the taxes regulation, go on in that state. think about it, seven bucks. you pull up to the pump. there is a new poll out as well, it is from monmouth university. it is talking about how voters and republicans democrats look at increases in gas prices. first question have recent increases which have been fast and furious, caused you any financial hardship? 38%, a great deal, 30% some. add those together, seven in 10 americans are feeling hardship at the pump. then the next question was,
3:15 am
break it down by political affiliation. people who say that it caused a great deal of financial hardship, 61% of republicans say that's true. 82% of independents and 21 -- rachel: 32. pete: 32, excuse me about that. 21% of democrats. when you look at the partisan breakdown of this, why do you think, rachel. rachel: looking at poll, i don't think it is just working poll, they're filing it the most and hardest, i think everybody is feeling it. no matter how you budget your life, it is going to be adjusted unless you're really, really rich by this, by these costs increases. it is going to the grocery store. it is airline tickets, it is everything. i think those little stickers on the gas, on the gas pumps that said you did this with biden on
3:16 am
it, you could also put democrat voters on there, you did this. maybe that is why they don't want to, they don't want to absorb the blame so much. it is not that bad. i think we're all feeling it. joey: i think the breakdown is locality. stand as lot more conservatives live in rural areas, have to drive 20 miles a day, a lot of people live in big cities, public transportation, are more liberal. that is part of it too. that difference, person, why the democrats get insulated in the bad policies. pete: great point i hadn't considered. i think the hardship is a perception. republicans will say joe biden's there the policies gone up, prices gone up, that is a hardship for me, that understandably so. democrats might say part of the pain. rachel: we're going green. pete: going green perspective, this is our patriotic sacrifice to fight vladmir putin. rachel: that is interesting too.
3:17 am
pete: you don't know, if has a lot to do how you view the leadership in the country. while democrats can't, you can't ignore what, that you're paying more, they're probably just rationalizing it. rachel: maybe we bring in aoc, somebody like that, have them explain. pete: that would be good. that would be interesting. probably doesn't drive that much. probably has an electric car. rachel: probably does. pete: can afford it. by the way republicans seized on this they're saying they will seize on it. ronna mcdaniel the rnc chairwoman tweeted this, don't like biden's gas hike, vote. republicans going to gas stations nationwide to register voters. interesting idea. rachel: it's a great idea! the question is will they actually do it. i think it is a fabulous idea when people are the most angry, when they get the total at the end of the filling up. i heard people say, they only
3:18 am
fill up halfway because it is, just too depressing to fill up all the way. joey: i can only fill up halfway, they stop at $99. a truck like mine takes more gas. do normal fill-up off, that is how i felt it. pete: famous viral segment on tnt, if you want to beat up the high gas prices only fill up halfway. rachel: that will do it. pete: if you break down the logic it doesn't really work but i like it. rachel: before we go, i just had a segment on it, maybe people didn't caught it, dvr mark moran, how supposedly green electric cars are not that green at all, actually more energy, take more energy than regular
3:19 am
cars. i don't understand what is going on with this green movement. they have destabilized the world and they are making us poorer. pete: that is for sure. turn now to a few additional headlines. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. a reporter is killed outside the a bar. she was caught in the crossfire after an argument turned deadly saturday morning. jenkins employer tried to contact her to cover the shooting. they became worried after she did not respond. learning of her death a short time later. no ears have been made in connection with the shooting. this week the los angeles unified school district will scrap the indoor mask mandates for students and staff. the district reached a deal with the powerful united teachers of los angeles union to end the restrictions starting wednesday. it was not immediately clear what was involved in the deal with the union who have faced protests from l.a. parents demanding the end of student masking. just now. although it wasn't that much far behind in new jersey, so.
3:20 am
now to the turn any, second round of march madness, baylor becomes the first number one seed to fall using to unc in overtime. tarheels broking a 25 point lead, ejected for flowing a flagrant elbow, still a controversial call. 11 seed michigan punching their seed to the sweet 16 with an upset over 3 seed tennessee. i saw this live. it is true a sweet moment coming after the game michigan coach juwan howard console as emotional tennessee star, kendi freshman. >> juan howard knows how it is to lose a big game. st. peters continues their won beating murray state, after. the team posted a vido of the team going craze i after the the win.
3:21 am

♪. >> we believe moscow may be setting the stage to use a chemical weapon, then falsely blame ukraine to justify escalating its attacks on the ukrainian people. pete: u.s. officials warn of a possible c russia. it isn't the first time the country is known for chemical, biological weapons. take a quick look back in history. i will do it briefly, we have eod bomb tech that knows about biological and chemical weapons. i will not pretend like i'm a expert. the chemical weapons treaty signed in 1993, wept into effect in 19997. they were not supposed to use
3:26 am
chemical weapons. now the second chechen war went on for years but in 2002 a chemical attack, it was a hostage situation where a chemical agent was used and 120 civilians were killed in order to break that stalemate, russia was willing to use chemical weapons. syria's civil war where we saw a much wider use of chemical weapons by the russians. i believe 85 chemical attacks through the course of the ongoing civil war. there were calls from the west to do something about that. he didn't see a whole lot of consequences then. that leads to the calculation whether or not he might use them now. if you're a political opponent of vladmir putin poisoning is something that is, something you may end up facing because he does not tolerate dissent. yeshenko. novalny, opponents poisoned by vladmir putin.
3:27 am
joey, i asked you the difference between a chemical weapon, a biological weapon how it is used. rachel: ultimately chemical is something toxic to us, biological is living organism like bacteria. how they look, when we think chemical weapons, conventional military, we think of conventional ordnance. artillery of 155, that type of shell can be loaded with chemical weapon, shot through the air in a specific target. explode in the air above you. as gas comes down, you have mustard gas or sarin or blood agents that affect your body. some are worse than others. some are choking agents, like tear gas. so there is lot of variants of a chemical weapon, idea you can find the ordnance, attack the source, eliminate it or contain it. biological weapons are much more stealthy a lot harder to detect
3:28 am
or harder to pinpoint. biological could be salmonella or bacteria placed in a human host and water, a lot harder to detect, a lot more nefarious in my opinion. they are not allowed on the battlefield in today's world. we've seen it used in syria. a famous japanese subway attack, terrorist group, took put bags in an subway and with umbrella poked the bags. they can be a slow burn can continually affect people, something on the biological side. something to be concerned about because technically could be already happened. pete: psychological component. joey: we talk about nuclear weapons, everybody when we hear nuclear, we hear the mushroom crowd or explosion. the most dangerous type of material, fissile material used, critical material in a at that time what is called a
3:29 am
radiological dispersal device or dirty bomb. taking something radioactive, planting something on a park bench, as they sit on the park bench they get infected with radiological poison. those are the tactics you work about. those are the prossal problem from the nuclear facilities that fissile material gets somebody's hands poisons somebody around it. same thing with chemical, biological. not a massive explosion with sound the sirens. it could be affecting you you don't even know it yet. pete: wow. rachel: what happened to the people poisoned. the before and after the pictures of qeshenko was shocking. pete: there was a convention to stop its use which is nice but dictators hell-bent on using them. rachel: scary stuff. pete: you have to have serious,
3:30 am
sophisticated equipment to protect against chemical attacks which civilians would not have. joey: not just the gear to protect yourself, also the ability to detect it. in school that was hardest part of bomb tech school, using the test to find out what they were suffering from. pete: why we have an expert here. rachel: good day to have you, joey. help wanted, biden administration seeking border volunteers as an influx of migrants are expected to enter the u.s. former acting dhs secretary ken cuccinelli reacts next. because you can track us and see exactly when we'll be there. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go! >> tech vo: that's service that fits your schedule. go to safelite.com. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long.

♪. rachel: back to "fox & friends." the invasion of ukraine now taking a toll on our borders as mexican officials struggle to deal with an influx of russian migrants. unlike ukrainians are allowed into the country, russian asylum-seekers are being denied entry and forced to wait indefinitely in tijuana. here to discuss is former acting
3:35 am
dhs secretary ken cuccinelli. ken, welcome. this situation tells me two things, one, russians want to leave russia and two, they know our southern border is open, right? >> those are two things and a third when you see the asylum claims coming out of this population is there is downright fear among russians much their own government. this isn't random. now they can be gaming our asylum system. other people do that all the time. nonetheless, i would add that third one in there, rachel. and i do think, that setting immigration aside for the moment, there is some benefit to us on the political world, world political stage of granting some of these asylum cases so we can tell their story to undermine putin in the eyes of the world. so, again, that aside from the immigration aspect of this, but
3:36 am
you're absolutely right, rachel. the view of the world is, this is an open door. all i have got to do is get there. so they fly to mexico. venezuelas have been doing this until the mexicans cut it off recently. people are doing it from all over the world, outside of the western hemisphere, they fly to mexico, and walk up to the u.s. because they know it is an open border because of joe biden's policies. rachel: so, ken, apparently there is a mass group of migrants, maybe as much as 170,000, sort of waiting outside of our, outside of our borders, trying to get in. i guess the biden administration is asking for volunteers to help them. i mean, what is going on here? we have a border patrol. i know our border is open, tell me about this volunteer situation and also about this mass of migrants. >> sure. so we use volunteers as well during surges at the southern border but what we use them for to get the law enforcement
3:37 am
officers, border patrol agents back on the line. what they're using them for is to process their catch-and-release to get them out of facilities. they're embarassed about the possibility much you all in the media broadcasting pictures of their overcrowded facilities, especially of course when they have children in them. they're just trying to avoid that optic. that's it. that is what those volunteers are for. >> yeah. >> not enforcement. rachel: the crisis just keeps growing at the border. i heard president biden was being challenged to come to kyiv by some of zelenskyy's people. he probably should stop at the border first. >> go to the border, right. rachel: he has no idea what is going on there they don't want to know. it is all by design. ken cuccinelli, thank you so much for joining us this morning. appreciate it. >> good to be with you. rachel: all right. russia is recruiting help. chechens reportedly joining their fight. how much of an impact will that have on the crisis?

have you ever met a transgender kid? there is no atmosphere that is the same as playing a sport with your team. when you're playing a sport, it's not just about you. it's about what you can do as a team or as a group. most of what i coach are team sports, and it's not about being perfect. it's about growing as an individual and growing as a team member. and where in that does gender identity come in? i want to even be a coach someday just to help other kids get to where they want to be. we're a team. mass general brigham. when you need some of the brightest minds in medicine, this is the only healthcare system in the country with five nationally ranked hospitals, including two world-renowned academic medical centers, in boston, where biotech innovates daily and our doctors teach at harvard medical school, and where the physicians doing the world-changing research are the ones providing care.

3:42 am
army special forces derek anderson. derek, we appreciate it. chechen fighters, mostly muslim, introduced into ukraine. what is the dynamic. it is 1000 kilometers from chechnya to ukraine. there are plenty of opportunities for them to get there. were they to be introduced into the battlefield, what kind of dynamic does that create? >> yeah, pete, and the reports i'm hearing from the ground right now that the chechans are closer just from chechnya. they are actually in and around ukraine already. the big dynamic that that brings is we all know the chechans are urban fighters. they're able to go into the cities and fight a war that russia is not prepared to fight actually. what brings an interesting dynamic to this is, if you go book to kind of the mid '90s and look, in chechnya, what the chechnya fought against the
3:43 am
russians, the russians typically have taken the mindset of, they mortar the cities and they go in and they soften up the cities, then they send in ground forces. back in chef yaw, the mid '90s the cheffians were able to fight against the russians in a way they were not able to or prepared for. in this instance what it indicates it shows that the russians realize there is going to be and urban fight and that the russian forces aren't capable or able to take that urban fight the way they want to. so brought in the chechans. that is bringing in a really interesting dynamic. it shows the hand and forecasts what russia is doing. one we know that means the russians know this will turn into and urban fight. two, i believe this also shows that the russians aren't capable and ready to take their conventional forces into and urban environment. therefore, bringing the chechans in there.
3:44 am
and from two other sides that are also interesting, putin gets to actually take back to the homeland, if you want to call it, and say, hey, we reduced our casualty numbers because if the chechans are being killed putin doesn't care about that. all he cares about number of russians being killed and what is bringing back to the homeland as number of people being killed. they will have heavy casualties once they go into the urban areas and then lastly, there is something to be said about the chechnyaians, are a fear fighting force. they will go in there. there are tons of reports from violations from the international community what the chechans have done throughout the world. in afghanistan we saw them. i remember distinctly, looking fighting the taliban saying, these guys are pretty good fighters. i'm curious how these guys are fighting so well.
3:45 am
in fact they were chechans. reports that chechen were fighting alongside the taliban in afghanistan. give as clean approach for putin. hey, that wasn't us doing heinous things into ukraine. pete: somebody else. >> that was chechens. pete: 30 seconds, introduction after switchblade drone, effectively a kamikaze drone, flown in 25 miles away. how important would that be for ukraine at this moment? >> it is very important. especially, you know, hopefully we don't just send 100. i see reports there will be only 100 sent. i think this would be a huge, huge hit if we were to send several thousand but switchblade is important. the reason why it is, it easily and it is easily deployable, it's cheap. if it does go into and urban fight like i was saying, the ukrainians will be able to take that thing and use it in and urban environment and be able to
3:46 am
target windows, doors, level the playing field around reduce collateral damage. pete: interesting. you're right. it is about $6,000 per munition which in military speak is quite cheap. derrick anderson, thanks for your time. service as a green beret. good luck in your race. >> thanks, pete, for having me. pete: got it. toss it over to joey for headlines. joey: now some headlines. disgraced governor andrew cuomo looking to make a comeback, telling reporters he is not ruling out another run for office. >> -- all options and i will leave it at that. joey: cuomo making the comments after releasing two campaign-style ads calling the sexual harrassment allegations against him, quote, political attacks. woke new york congressman squad woman alexandria ocasio-cortez posting some joe bidennesque whispering on her instagram story.

because i think we're the key part that would fix this. joey: you know, we talked about, he invited fedex, some of these, big, big companies. you're company is not small but it is not a big company like that but there is a part about the trucking industry i would love for you to hear on real quick. that is the maintenance and servicing to keep trucks on the road. what kind of hit it took coming out of the pandemic. >> you're right. he didn't invite any food carriers, what we specialize in carrying foods. maintenance is a huge part of the trucking industry. maintenance is 30% of the cost, depending, whether you lease your or own your trucks. yes, we need all the help we can get. the only way you get you there the issue with the supply, we have to work together. that is not happening so far. joey: real quick in this last minute, you guys didn't get invited, your company, industry largely, the rail industry didn't get invited. why do you think that is?
3:55 am
is pete buttigieg being bad at his job? or is this a purposeful snub for some reason? >> that is great question. they do not want to fix the critical issues with the supply chain. america's trucking industry is essential critical link without the supply chain. without trucks the america stops, that is a fact. the fact biden and administration ignoring us excluding our industry is a smack in the face. biden pretends to be the champion of the little guy, claims to support blue-collar workers but truckers are the exactly biden is meant to embrace. he doesn't care what we think. the administration forgotten truckers were the real heroes in the pandemic, working on the front lines, risking their lines when there was no vaccine, everyone was sheltered at home. joey: keep those trucks on the road. thanks for joining us today. looks like pothole pete, south bend's finest living up to his reputation unfortunately. >> thank you for your support.

4:01 am
mount amid reports that another bomb shelter used by civilians in mariupol was hit by a russian airstrike. few structures in mariupol have been spared. the indiscriminate bombing from the russian air force and other artillery, rockets, armaments they are using. the bomb shelter that was hit, g-12 art school. 400 people were inside. men are in the fight. most of the people in the shelter are assumed to be women, children, elderly. a few days after a theater was being hit despite a white large letters in russian that children were inside. more than 1000 people were in that shelter. relentless targeting of sievians, president zelenskyy is calling the russians war criminals. >> translator: we have a chance to show russia any terrorist in the world that war will destroy
4:02 am
victims and ones that came with it. last chance for humanity to stop the wars, stop state terror. reporter: underground maternity wards, bombs may fall but babies show up on schedule. hope if ily preventing another triage by like the maternity hospital bombed in mariupol. ukraine is one of the few countries allow surrogate parenting as a business. in a bomb shelter, 20 babies recently arrived, and the anxious parents cannot be here to pick up babies. they are living in the shelters with just a few breaks for ferb air every day. president biden said it would take 30 days for sanctions to bite against russians. that times out with his anticipated arrival at the nato summit thursday in brussels. guys, back to you. joey: thanks, mike. on those two facilities that were bombed, the art school and the theater, the last word i
4:03 am
heard they weren't even able to do a recovery effort because of continued shelling. do you have any continued report? are they able to get? hundreds of people are still unaccounted for. reporter: what we got from a politician down there in mariupol that the rescue crews when trying to get in there they are being fired upon. so they can't even get to the theater to rescue people. we know 130 people got out of the theater. rescue crews are trying to get there to save whoever else may be alive to have assessment of damage, unfortunately they are being shot at. rachel: that is level of cruelty i cannot understand especially if there are children under there. pete: especially. mike tobin, thank you for the update. you hear that, few spared, indiscriminate, quite a description. let's go to the maps for a second. i will break down where we are based on what mike is talking about. first time we've done that this
4:04 am
morning. updated to march 20th. a quick overview, guys. we talk about more strikes to the west which doesn't appear to be a target of what the russians want to hold but military bases and airfields meant to interdict or prevent fighters, weapons support can coming from poland, elsewhere. putin believes he has to cut that off to be able to continue his fight. the main effort remains kyiv although it remains stalled. shelling of kyiv continues, not at the level of mariupol pat this point but continues. kharkiv still contested. second largest city. it doesn't mean strikes aren't continuing because they are. it is an ongoing attempt to bomb the populations into submission. the most powerful example which is mariupol we've been talking about this morning we'll focus on because part of the reason the russians are able to besiege it so directly. they're coming from two sides. down from the donbas region and connecting with forces that moved up from crimea.
4:05 am
if you're defending mariupol, you're taking artillery and russian troops from both the east and your west. you see the new contested, new areas claimed by the russians. effectively complete encirclement of mariupol as well. i want to have a close-up to zoom in what mike tobin is talking about. he says few spared, indiscriminate. this is a zoom-in of the city of mariupol, down southeast of ukraine. he talked about the art school with 400 civilians inside. that is on the eastern side of the city. then you have the western side of the city, when you talk about hospitals have that been bombed, a maternity hospital we talked about. a theater bombed. high density population centers on the east and the west. excuse me and on the west and on the east. of significance this appears, this area right here which we're about to zoom in on is the government portion of mariupol. and when you start to really look how many strikes we're
4:06 am
talking about. we're circling one spot on one block. they're focusing on the west and they're focusing on the east. take a look at this picture here, guys, as i move forward one slide. the amount of strikes just in that particular district, moderately damaged is in yellow. severely damaged or destroyed is in red. this area right here, heavy government center. everywhere else, i mean totally interspersed with population centers. we know munitions they're using are not smart bombs. pilots may or may not know exactly what targets they're focused on. a lot of this, you see how rural outside of the city center. the russians able to control that using artillery to completely besiege that. that is one side of the city. russians coming in from the west, russians coming in from the east. we learned they controlled this side. the shelling absolutely continues with no way out and we heard in the reporting this morning about these camps,
4:07 am
appears russia, the only people they allow out of mariupol are allowed to head east towards russia, not west towards freedom they would like to do if they could. i will leave it there on that slide. when you get a sense of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, surface-to-surface bombs being dropped. just sheer shelling of artillery, that is a population decimated at this point with no way to get out. rachel: it is hard to believe there are children in this city. you think about the shelling, even, if they're not trapped in that theater, just the sounds, just how traumatic must be for the population that wasn't able to get out of there. it's crazy. pete: it really is. you mentioned the kids, you see pictures of -- ukraine one of the very few countries in the world you can have a surrogate mother that has a child. if you're from another country, you're fully the biological
4:08 am
parents. rachel: no claims -- pete: no claims from the actual biological mother. i was struck by, when i said that. rachel: i said two things. i said seeing little babies made me want to have a baby. the other thing i said, shows how poor this country was. that you know, this type of industry exists on that scale. pete: yeah. joey: let's bring in senator ron johnson for more on the entire situation in ukraine and what we're seeing happening now. member of the foreign relations committee, homeland security committee. senator, welcome to the show. what we're talking about now, putin reportedly set to hold nuclear evacuation drills after moving his family to siberia. is this more of the narrative he is insane and isolated or is this a threat he feels to be legitimate? >> good morning, guys. rachel: good morning. >> we certainly know vladmir putin is a murderous thug.
4:09 am
he is certainly a war criminal. rachel said that is crazy and evil. i don't think i've seen any reports to believe he is insane or mad. of course using nuclear weapons would be insane. nobody is threatening russia. ukraine is not threatening russia. nato is not threatening russia. nor is the united states threatening russia. so there is it need for whatever for him to go on nuclear alert to hold these drills. certainly from our standpoint i'm sure general to general we are reassuring the russian generals we have absolutely no intention of engaging directly with russia or threatening them in any way, shape or form. i have to hope this is moving more than sabre-rattling but we are facing evil. that's why it is so important for the united states, the nato, the free people to support the courageous people in ukraine. vladmir putin, russia, can probably destroy an awful lot of ukraine. they will never conquer it, they
4:10 am
will never conquer it. that is part of the problem the miscalculation of vladmir putin, he won't admit he is wrong. now he will be a cornered animal, potentially even more dangerous, more have been addictive. this is a very sad tragedy but this isn't crazy. this is evil. rachel: it is evil. there is no question. it would not allow children, little kids to be evacuated from a building that you just bombed. it is pure evil. but crazy as you said, we may be cornering this crazy person, evil, crazy, and i guess the repercussions for as could be sabre-rattling. but if he is crazy, maybe he could use those nuclear weapons and i think that is the fear that many, not just ukrainians have but the world has right now. it's scary, senator. >> no, it is concern. you look at his face. is he on prednisone?
4:11 am
could that affect his mental state? you have to hope and pray he is not crazy. you have to hope and pray that he has people around him if he is crazy, he is insane, they won't let him act. they won't carry out a crazy, insane, evil order to use nuclear weapons. let's face it, they are allowing him to commit war crimes and they are committing war crimes along with him. reporter: what is his end state right now, senator? based where he is now, what does he attempt to lay claim to? >> he is hoping all ukraine would capitulate, greet him as a liberator, live happily ever after. that will certainly not happen. what he had done in georgia, he invaded a portion of it. he has a frozen conflict there. in mole diva, the same thing. he is doing what he always wanted to do, create a land bridge, why he is going after
4:12 am
mariupol. he is carrying out plans he held for a very long time time period. he didn't aggressively enact the plans under the previous administration. he has done it under democrat administrations, under the weakness of the obama administration. even more profound weakness under the biden administration. elections matter and when we elect people who are so weak that carry out policies, open borders, record inflation, high gasoline prices, embarrassing and -- in afghanistan [inaudible], people like vladmir putin. very sad. joey: move on from this, we talk about what is happening with iran, pretty much every state that wants to be a nuclear state looks at this, says our inaction tells them they should get a nuclear weapon, at least that is what i see. a u.s. state department with a quote to "the times" of israel, we have difficult turn to the
4:13 am
unrestricted iranian nuclear program led to a nuclear crisis and to greatly increased threats to u.s. citizens interests and partners in the region. what is your reaction to this statement and really just what should the u.s. be doing in regards to iran or even north korea seeking nuclear weapons? >> no. that's crazy. you know, we talked about, we talked about weakness earlier. i don't think very many americans realize the news media won't report it but, biden administration went crawling back to iran to re-engage in this horrible nuclear deal the iranians refused to meet with americans. so guess who is negotiating the new iran agreement on behalf of the united states with iran? russia and china. do you think russia and china view that as weakness? i certainly do. what we're hearing of this agreement it is awful. it is way worse than the
4:14 am
previous agreement. billions of dollars apparently delivered to -- [inaudible] terrorists horrible, horrible people. this will not prevent iran from eventually going nuclear, not at all. i doubt that it really would even delay it because i simply don't believe the type of inspections to ever put in place to prevent it. they continue to march towards the day they become with nuclear power with missile technology. this is also an evil regime and evil empire. we need to approach them with strength, not the grotesque weakness the biden administration is approaching iran with right now. this would be a travesty, at a minimum whatever agreement deemed a treaty should have to come before the senate to be ratified. no agreement like this would ever be ratified. which is why they're not going to do that. rachel: yeah. senator, this is crazy.
4:15 am
i just can't understand their obsession with this deal. i want to move on to something else though because you were at the forefront of talking about hunter biden's laptop when it first surfaced in a "new york post" story. that miranda devine and others exposed. the media and big tech said this was russian disinformation. when you said no, it wasn't. they said you were a purveyor of russian disinformation. now the new york times is saying, oh, yeah, that was true, so many months later after you know donald trump lost that election. you're demanding accountability. what does that accountability look like to you? >> well full exposure. let's find out the truth. i think it is very revealing john durham was apparently asking question about the dnc hacking by supposedly russians. that has been definitely proven. there is one groups that the democrats proved that russia hacked into their server. i have never seen that proof.
4:16 am
so the russian collusion kinard, listen, russia can only dream they could interfere in our elections to the extent that the democrat party, the hillary clinton campaign, and their complicit allies in the media were able to interfere in our election. rachel: yeah. >> russian interference pail -- pales in comparison to the falsehoods, lies, distortion of this russian collusion and if you really think about it, think of the political turmoil, the division, the media has cause for the last four or five years. talk about american weakness? a house divided cannot stand. national strength begins with national unity. even though president biden promised that his number one goal, unify, heal this nation, he has done the exact opposite as have his allies in the media. they have divided this nation. they have torn it apart and they are not being held accountable because they're the ones who
4:17 am
report the news. we have a real problem. i absolutely support a free press but it has to be some measure of unbiased press. we do not have that right now. we don't have journalists, advocates radical left of the democrat party which is one in the same thing. pete: you're right, senator, one more topic, speaking of lack of accountability for where the covid-19 virus originated from. that doesn't exist. and accountability for people who got it wrong time and time again one ever which is dr. anthony fauci who is now warning of another variant he says we may need to take seriously. he is also putting out floaters, feelers he may soon retire which he promised to do when the pandemic was over. when will the time come when his time is over and why should we be listening to what he says about future variants? >> well past time when he should have retired. you know, i don't think how
4:18 am
anybody can take a look at our response to covid, 965,000 americans dead, six million people worldwide, the human to, toll, what we've done to our children, what we've done to our children the last two years. i don't know the opinion about masks effectiveness, one thing masks would never work on children. have you ever seen children wear masks? you see children wear masks two years. delayed speech. lost learning. couldn't see teacher's face, smiles on classmates. what we've done to our children, put them in a state of fear is a travesty. anthony fauci led this miserable failure of a response, he should be held accountable. i've written 35 oversight letters, i haven't got caught in terms of response.
4:19 am
i'm writing 36. i intend to hold people in health agencies people like anthony fauci, tohold them accountable. i hate to do it on the show i need a lot of help. ron johnson for senate.com. i'm trying to hold the people accountable right now. get me in office. i do subpoena power, i will do everything i can to reveal the truth and expose she is people. rachel: no one questioned your courage. you've been out front. you have taken so many arrows. one bringing up early treatments, all kinds of things this administration has done, using covid to limit our freedoms. you've been a real champion. we need accountability, because if we don't get accountability, they will repeat this again. we thank you for your honesty, and courage senator. thanks for coming on as well. >> have a good day. rachel: of course, senator. turning now to your headlines
4:20 am

♪. rachel: a chinese official is blaming russia's deadly invasion of ukraine on nato.
4:25 am
the vice foreign minister saying quote, rather than breaking up, nato has kept strengthening and expanding. one could well anticipate the consequences going down this path. the crisis in ukraine is a stern warning. that same diplomat went on to say the sanctions against russia are getting more and more outrageous. here with analysis asian fellow at gatestone institute, gordon change. good to have you on this topic which is your area of expertise. here is a question i have for you. when the biden administration went to china very early on, seeking their help somehow in getting, maybe taming russia's ambitions in ukraine, maybe getting them to stop, i was always confused china never did anything to help with north korea. why did the biden administration think that china would help them with russia? >> the biden administration is really stuck in this engagement theory and president trump broke
4:26 am
that because it wasn't working and trump pivoted to a much more robust posture on china. well biden has gone back to it despite everything and the real problem here of course is that it doesn't work. rachel: right. >> so of course they're going to do things that don't make sense. rachel: so the biden administration has been pressed recently to lay out the consequences that they apparently talked to the chinese about during that phone call that biden had with xi xinping, about what would happen if they actually gave military aid to russia. biden hasn't said what that would be, is it smart not to tell publicly announce what the consequences are or should he have laid out a very public red line for china? >> president biden i think should have imposed sanctions on china. remember the white house readout of their friday video call with xi xinping said the consequences and implications if china provides material aid.
4:27 am
now china already has been doing that because there have been elevated commodity purchases since and we've also seen china make its financial system available to sanction russian institutions. so when you put that all together china already provided material aid and it has been doing that for weeks. so the biden administration is warning about things that already happened. so of course it should be imposing sanctions now. rachel: so the biden administration is saying that eventually, okay, at some point we'll do sanctions against china. that is a possibility. would sanctions even work, gordon? look, corporations haven't agreed to punish china for having concentration camps on, we are so invested in china. i really doubt we would get the same corporate buy-in that we've had say with russia. that hasn't even stopped the war? >> we don't need corporate buy-in rachel, because the treasury secretary can with the flick of a pen freeze chinese bank accounts that are in
4:28 am
dollars because all of those dollar accounts, wherever they are in the world, they clear in new york. and you know, we see corporations supporting china, despite the crimes against humanity that you talk about because it is illegal to do so. president biden can make it illegal to do invoking emergency economic powers act of 1977. of course he hasn't done that. rachel: very interesting stuff. a lot to think about, gordon. thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: up next republicans raising red flags ahead of tomorrow's hearing for judge can tangy brown jackson. an expert on this saying hear past rulings on sex offenders co coderail the nomination.

4:33 am
begin tomorrow. at least one senate judiciary member is raising concerns over her past rulings. >> if you look at her record, what you see this is someone who consistently let sex proceedtores, child sex predators off the hook. this is lifetime appointment to the use supreme court we're talking about here. she could be ruling on these cases, we need to know. pete: that was josh hawley. here are a few examples. questioned mandatory sex registration as law student in 1996. giving lenient sentences to sex offenders in 2020 and 2021 less than half the minimums. she praised aspects of the 1619 project podcast. what will senate republicans make of all of this? bring in judicial crisis network president care rhee severino. thank you for being here. if you look at different areas
4:34 am
she has given opinions, come down with rulings, if you're a republican that believes her point of view is more progressive than you would want to see on the bench is there an avenue more or less effective to put it politically? >> yeah. you know, so there is a lot of areas, i think we're going to see focused on the hearings which start tomorrow. senator hawley focused on one them, her soft on crime and approach towards sex criminals which is truly disturbing there are a lot of other areas as well. we'll focus on she represented in her practice, terrorists, pro-abortion groups. she has been very hostile to business groups. she has a disturbing record of being politically hostile to trump administration regulations and executive orders. she has frequently overturned by the appellate court in fact by liberal judges going too far beyond her own authority in overturning trump era regulations in a very looks like
4:35 am
very political fashion. i think all of this does not bode well especially for a judge who by her own admission says she doesn't have a judicial philosophy. a troubling record, combined unwillingness what her approach to the constitution is. pete: trying to be a blank slate is often a strategy when going through these hearings, but what would hear defense be of a, of giving a heavily reduced sentence to a sex offender? how would she defend that? >> you know what we've seen from the defenses left put up already, for example, from "the washington post" fact checker, basically saying she was giving a thing that was basically within the lines of what the probation officers might have recommended. you get a recommendation from the government, you get a recommendation from the defense counsel which wants super low obviously, from the probation officer, also the sentencing guidelines. what is concerning is, maybe she has gone sometimes closer to what the probation officer recommended, those probation
4:36 am
officers tend to recommend very low sentences. what you have here is someone who just repeatedly gone below what the sentencing guidelines require and what the government has requested in those cases and in the context of her own writing as you mentioned, her harvard law school which i don't think she repudiated has air being very friendly to the convicted child sex offender. we don't want a climate of fear or hatred or retribution, it sounded like she is downplaying this area of crime which is obviously so damaging to our children. pete: all these things said, carrie, democrats presumably have the votes. is this nomination, could it be stopped for those that believe her judicial philosophy is too radical or is this more or less a foregone conclusion? >> you know, unfortunately in this case we're seeing the consequences of the 2020 senate

election played out in real time because with 50 votes in the senate, if the democrats all stick together, with the tie vote of kamala harris, they will be able to get her confirmed. and what we've seen so far is that even senators manchin and sinema, let alone all the other senators who would have a more moderate approach to the courts, rubberstamped everyone of biden's judicial nominees, many people just as radical including judge jackson herself. this is something i hope that these people will have their eyes open during the hearings to realize most of america, i think including most democrats don't want the most radical option, the one who is the darling of the left-wing dark mony group being pushed by the most extreme people out there. >> they would have probably have her him pick one of the more moderate people on the list. he chose to go hard left. unfortunately the democrats are willing to follow him there, we might see her as our next

4:43 am
>> this is a hospital during peacetime used to functioning as a referral center for pediatric patients. it is the largest pediatric hospital in the country. they have been able to evacuate a large majority of their agents and repurposing their staff to be able to treat mass casualty, traumatic type events. their staff has been diminished from about 2,000, to about 200. they have many specialty trained surgeons, anesthesiologists with strong medical backgrounds, however, they are not accustomed to treating trauma. so we're bringing out experience with mass casualties and with trauma surgery to help train their staff. >> i'm also concerned about wounds and infections. what are your thoughts about that in this setting? it is hard to keep things sterile. are you concerned about wound infections and other infections? >> right now the hospital has been able to maintain sterile
4:44 am
conditions but you're absolutely right, that is the primary concern for war wounded individuals. so we are trying to supply materials that can be helpful in preventing wound infections such as wound packs. the hospital right now has the equipment it needs but clearly you know, those could rapidly become overwhelmed. pete: very interesting. let's bring in dr. marc siegel now for further reaction. doctor, great piece. >> thank you. pete: total conversion of one hospital into a combat hospital. how difficult is that? >> it is not easy, you and joey know first-hand being in combat, it is really important that they have people to take care of people that get hurt, that know what they're doing. reporter: pete. >> what "doctors without borders" did here, they first emptied the hospital. it is a pediatric hospital center of kyiv. they emptied it. they went down from 2,000 people, to 200 people and kids.
4:45 am
got it ready. they're getting ready for a mass casualty event. they're taking surgeons in the hospital how they handle wounds like shrapnel wounds. they have wound vacs use negative pressure. try to keep the wounds clean. do they have enough supplies? currently they do. do they have enough gauze, have enough beta dine, do they have enough sutures? they have all of that as you know even a surgeon who knows how to do basic trauma is not somebody that can tie a blood vessel together with micro surgery or necessarily to handle a shrapnel wound. when do you am tate, when do you don't. this is thing they're doing this in the hospital. rachel: it takes years to learn this. they're learning that in record time? how long does it take in this particular situation to get doctors up to speed on the potential combat injuries. >> rachel, they're doing it in days. look, you can't do it if you don't have the basic surgical

5:01 am
lviv. mike, what tough for us? and good morning. >> reporter: unfortunately, i'm following another bombing of a shelter in the town of mariupol where the civilian casualties are mounting. we just haven't seen this in a generation. you've got indiscriminate airstrikes raining down on mariupol. the estimation right now i is that 80-90% of the housing there has been destroyed. the most recent bomb shelter is a g12 art school, 400 people were estimatedded to be inside, mostly women, children and elderly as the men have joined the fight. it was marked that children were inside and hit anyway. it's estimateed a thousand plus were inside that shelter, 130 people made it out that we know of. president volodymyr zelenskyy has called russians war criminals. >> translator: the besieged mariupol will go down in history of responsibility for war
5:02 am
crimes. the terror the occupiers did to the peaceful city will be remember for centuries to come. >> reporter: the fighting in mariupol has been unrelenting and indiscriminate. civilians have been without food and water, so many civilians have been killed they have resorted to using mask raids. one police officer is a appealing to world leaders. >> translator: you have promised that there will be help. give us that help. biden, macron, you are great leaders. be them to the end, save the civilian population, children, elderly people are dying. the city is destroyed, and it is wiped off the face of the earth. >> reporter: for about two weeks now in mariupol, we've seen humanitarian corridors be formed up with ceasefires, and the ceasefires pall apart. what we're seeing now as these convoys and huen mantarian corridors are put together, the ceasefires still fall aparts but
5:03 am
the civilians are making a break for it, running the gaunt leapt with bullets and artillery fire coming in just to try to get to safety. back to you in new york. pete: mike, real quick, we continue to identify kyiv as the main effort for russians, yet it seems there's almost no advancement on the ground. what's the upstate date -- update at the capital city as far as russia's intent to encircle it? >> reporter: well, there's a degree to which the update is no update. one of the things we have seen in the video is that the tanks are digging in to defensive positions. that tells you they're not going to get out. they make those horseshoes with the earthen berms to protect themselves from the armor-piercing rounds, but that means the tanks aren't rolling forward. ukrainian forces not only are presenting a solid line to keep them from moving forward, they're also menacing the rear, and that crypts panic, it creates at lot offed bad morale and makes it tough for them to
5:04 am
get resupplied and keeps them disorganized. short answer is no new update, they're bogged down. rachel: really quick question for you, mike. one, have they been able to do any rescue efforts with these art, theaters, schools where there still may be children trap thed, and, two, you said 80-90% of civilian housing has been destroyed. do we know if people were evacuated from those units ahead of time, or do you suspect that there were people inside of those apartments as well? >> reporter: well, i think you're going to find that some people were inside of the apartments, unfortunately. hopefully, a lot of those people made it to the different bomb shelters. we've been talking about the apartment buildings that have been broadsided by the rockets and artillery, caught on fire. hopefully, a lot of those people made it out, but unfortunately, we're not getting any new information about the drama theater or this g-the school.
5:05 am
-- g-12 school. we've got some contacts down there, but they've fallen out of communication. 130 people made it out of the theater because they were down in the basement. the bad news is that people were also on the first floor, and we fear the worse for them. joey: mike, you talked earlier, i believe, with us about the idea that people are growing weary of other people, that russia probably has, for lack of a better term, spies, people on the ground that are relaying information back to them. i believe it was this art school that was actually marked in russian that this was a bomb shelter in hopes that it would keep it safe but might have actually been what made it a target. not to pontificate too much, but have people changed how they shelter? are they being more covert about it? is that kind of hysteria or paranoia, i guess, of russians being in the crowds kind of coming to fruition? >> reporter: well, it seems that way, that the targets have been marked ahead of time. it would really be something to think what you're talking about where it was marked with
5:06 am
children, that was the drama theater. and if you look at the satellite image ally of that drama theater, not only was it marked that there were children inside there, front9 and the back, the word kids was spelled out in russian, but there's a lot of real estate around that theater. it would really be hard to think that you would have hit that drama theater and not intended to hit it. joey: yeah. >> reporter: so it's really heartless, all the factors there. but the idea that there have been russians on the ground here, that's -- it seems to be proven time and again. pete: mike tobin, thank you very much for the update. >> reporter: you got it. pete: getting into a very insidious phase in some of these cities are where shellings have begun on so long, most of the civilian population has probably fled or is in a shelter. there's nowhere to go to if you would want to, and russia would start to rationalize and say these are legitimate targets because people are shooting at
5:07 am
us. or that's not really a theater, that's a barracks. that's where cutting through the misinformation from one side or the other, it's really difficult to get a true grasp on what targets actually are except when you see kids written on it and you see the evidence of people that that have been affected by it. but the accusation as are going to be hurled. joey: it just opens up the idea that, i mean, it isn't like two countries with two different languages have a big wall between them. there were russians in ukraine before this started, they're still there now. are there russians that are working on behalf of the russian military covertly. and that's kind of, you know, we think about russia, we think about the cold war, two embassies bugged to high heaven kind of famously, so her all about espionage. that is a big part of their culture and defense strategy. and so, you know, if you're zelenskyy sitting there and you thwarted the assassination attempts, are you worried that
5:08 am
eventually one of those russian actors is someone in your circle? i don't want to just start making stuff up, but it sounds like there's someone on the ground letting the russians know how to dial their artillery. pete: that's how targeting works. joey: that person has integrated into the population. rachel: and on that eastern side of ukraine, les a lot of intermarriage -- joey: share ised region and shared culture. rachel: exactly. but a lot of people are suspecting that this brutality of these attacks is making people who are of russian descent who may be more ambivalent say they're ukrainian right now. one guy, you know, one guy, he's an ex or former oligarch, maybe he's just an exiled oligarch, he was on brian kilmeade's show, "one nation," last night. and he had had this great interview because guy was put in
5:09 am
jail by putin, eventually -- you know, he was tortured and eventually let out, i don't know why, but this is an interesting interview because he seems to think he knows the way putin's thinking. now, a lot of people have not been close enough to be able to talk about this issue. here's what he said about the mind of putin and how this may affect this uncurls into -- incursion and war into ukraine. >> translator: he was confident that he would take kyiv easily. the blitzkrieg has failed. the war is going on with great difficulty, and most likely it will shorten his stay in power. two options remain many, either a no-fly zone will be implemented in which case in a week, maybe ten days putin will start looking favorably on the idea of talks, or if there is no fly zone implemented, then russia will take over ukraine or a significant portion of
5:10 am
ukraine, and once he has refreshed his troops, he is likely to try and punish one of the baltic states or poland. pete: you know, even without the predicate of a no-fly zone which he uses -- i don't think that even has to be part of the condition -- either he sticks around for months and months and tries to eke a win out here, or he escalates even further with a different type of munition whether it's chemical, biological, you know, we've talked about that, tactical nuclear weapon, but if you putin, you've got this bare-chested image of a strongman who never loses. he's not going to leave ukraine would want the perception of the spin of a win. and and to me, that feels like the capital city of kyiv, ultimately, and control of the black sea. he's a long way from kyiv, especially with all the additional weapons that are coming n. he's digging in defensively, shelling with artillery, but that's -- if you
5:11 am
have got that many ukrainians with new weaponry as well, that could take months. we could be talking about this in august. joey: one of the things he said at the beginning when he was giving the justification, i guess, to the world, one of the objectives was to demilitarize ukraine. he may plan to continue to attack until he's attacked every military target, and maybe that's what, with or without kyiv, okay, they don't have a military. maybe his offramp is to go back to the russian people and say we've done enough damage that this country can't be a threat to us, and they're not of any if use -- rachel: that could be the end game and take some land while he's at it, of course. let's hope taha somehow we get a resolution to all of this. the civil is januaries are suffering tremendously. -- civil is januaries are suffering tremendously. zelenskyy has put out word he's looking for some sort of peace agreement and, hopefully, whether it's the americans or the europeans are helping, these two sides come together and
5:12 am
bring an end to this war. well, bill barr, our former attorney general, says that he is shocked -- which i was a little bit surprised to hear this -- he's shocked that joe biden lied about his son hunter's laptop during the debate he had during the 2020 election. listen to what he has to say. this is all on the heels of the hunter biden laptop is now a hot topic because "the new york times" has decided that, yeah, i guess it was true after all. take a listen. >> i was shocked during the debate because biden outright lied when he tried to put it off and say, well, there's a lot of intelligence experts that think it's disinformation. and so right after that we had the dni and the f fbi -- the fbi worked for me in the department -- both came out and said it was not related to russian disinformation. the media completely ignored that and continued to suppress it as did social media with. pete: they ignored it and
5:13 am
suppressed it then, and they're doing the same thing now. and continue to cover the latest revelation that it is, indeed, legit. conveniently, 15 months after it was a really precarious situation when it was first revealed. and i forgot about the fact that the government came out, d to oj and fbi, came out and and said, no, this is not russian -- but because it was donald trump's fbi -- joey: the democrats attacked bill barr specifically to not even believe the justice department because it was under trump. rachel: right. and we have to think about the implications. one that i believe the election of 2020 would have been different had the american people had full transparency, full information about the corruption in the biden family and were able to make a decision about whether they wanted a president who had these kinds of dirty connections with china and ukraine and and russia, all the things that are in the news right now. pete: if that would have been a
5:14 am
republican, they would have delayed the election. there would have been so much investigation, so much hyperbole, they would have demand -- rachel: for sure. but it's not too late, pete. these issues, china, russia, ukraine, is joe biden, you know, the big guy who got 10%, is he compromised? these are still questions that are out there, and now that the liberals at "the new york times" have put their stamp of approval on, okay, yeah, it's not russian disinformation, maybe now we could see some action on the part of "the new york times" and other outlets to go let's dig into this and see what are these conditionings. and, by the way, let's look at them in the context of what is happening right now in ukraine. pete: never going to do that. rachel: i know, but i want to know. america deserves to know what are these connections because he, by the way, is not the only politician whose children have connections. nancy pelosi is, mitt romney has children with connections, grown, adult children with connections to these countries. we ought to know that as we're
5:15 am
dealing with this very complicated situation in -- joey: "the new york times" would have attacked this issue the way they attacked general petraeus' love life -- [laughter] we'd have one expose after -- we'd have 300 pages of "the new york times" investigate irv journalism. unfortunately -- pete: this is only cya. there's rumors hunter biden could be indicted for the information on the laptop. and technically, just inform your readers that that's happened, hen once that story comes out, people are saying, wait, i thought it was russian disinformation. i think service just one quick cover, cover your back side to get the information out there. rachel: it absolutely could be that. pete: as we just mentioned, hunter biden's laptop is real and discuss exist -- does exist. "the new york times" also had an editorial recently that caught our eye. you know, a broken clock is always right twice a day, so
5:16 am
we'll give them two this sunday morning. here's the headline of the editorial board of the new york times: america has a free speech problem. interesting. here's part of the opening of their editorial. for all the power and enlightenment that modern society -- americans are losing hold of the fundamental right of a free country, the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public without fear of being shamed or shunned. this social silencing of america has been evident for years, but dealing with it serves yet more fear. feels like a third rail, dangerous for a strong nation and an open society. that's dangerous. so they go on to rail about how, you know, conservatives do this with school boards and critical race theory, so of course while being half right, they have to be half wrong. but they acknowledge cancel culture is a real thing. these are old school liberals, a lot of them -- well, there's plenty of progressives and marxist types at "the new york times." rachel: for sure.
5:17 am
pete: the e -- ethos they're writing through is cancel culture is a real thing probably because even in their newsroom -- rachel: they're afraid of the younger, and they have actually expelled longtime, liberal, you know, writers who said nothing but somehow was enough of a transgression for the little marxist, progressive, young, you know, journalists who gang up together in much the same way that professors are deathly afraid of their, you know, students turning on them and turning them in to, you know, their administration and destroying their careers. joey: hearing that excerpt, it sounds a lot like rather than saying, hey, we have a problem, no, america has a problem. let's spread this blame out as much as we can. it's not about the liberal media or academia, we all have this problem. to me, that sounds like they understand they're getting caught. pete: good point.
5:18 am
it's like an arsonist leading a fire safety class. rachel: 100%. pete: well, they do, they openly talk about cancel culture which a lot of people on the left are said you're making that up, you're playing the victim card. well, it is, and one of the people who has not been canceled because he claims he is uncancelable is kid rock. he did an interview with tucker carlson that that's going to air tonight, and he talks about what it's like -- excuse me, tomorrow on tucker carlson. tucker carlson does not have is a sunday is show. i know you were excited. he's a portion of what he said. >> why haven't you been canceled? >> i am uncancelable. >> what's that? >> [bleep] [laughter] and i'm not in bed with any big corporate things at the end of the day, nobody i'm beholden to, no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. you can't cancel me. i love it when they try.
5:19 am
rachel: cant condition sell him. as you know, he wrote the song born free. i love that he loves america, he loves his freedom, and he's somebody who's always fighting for that. and i think a lot of people look up to him because they're afraid to say what they really think. they're afraid they're going to be called a racist or trans-phobe or fired or not promoted, and they keep quiet. and i think the insidious part about self-censoring yourself is eventually that ends up going to your brain, and you just stop thinking for yourself. ask i think a lot of young people have been trained in this way of thinking. it's a very marxist, communist way, and young people have been living through years of this. and now i think that we're all in danger of those people graduating and running our country or they already are. joey: a long way from rapping in boas, hasn't he?

5:25 am
where officials say the country is now cut off from the sea of azov, and odesa's mayor is warning his city could soon be surround by russian forces as warships shell nearby villages. here to react, former commander of the uss cole, commander kurt lippold. tanks for coming on. what we're talking about now is naval warfare, not only ships reaching the land, but how the ukrainian military can reach those ships. give us your assessment of the situation. >> well, joey, first of all, thanks for having me on. what you're really seeing is combined arms. what you're seeing is the navy now participating many land warfare to support the russian forces that are literally trying to cut the country of ukraine off from the black sea itself, eliminate each of the ports where they could potentially get reply and rearmed, and i think what you really see, joey, is the fact that ukraine and
5:26 am
president zelenskyy making a strategic decision that the center of gravity for that country is kyiv. and to hold that at all costs. but in doing that, it has allowed the russians, essentially, to go unfetteredded across that southern coast and begin city by city to destroy and slaughter in their goal to cut off ukraine. joey: we talk about the black sea, the sea of azov, we talk about the two main bodies of water there are where the ports are. i know mariupol is under a huge assault right now which is right on the sea of azov, i believe. what could ukrainians benefit from continuing to have access to the water in the south there, say around odesa where the russians haven't been able to attack or take control? >> well, anytime you have a port, joey, you've got an ability to bring in resupply. that means ammunition, that mean ifs fuel, that means military equipment, that mean ifs food for personnel, plus it gives people hope that they still have a lifeline out other than the land bridges that they have
5:27 am
right now coming from poland and other areas. keeping those ports open is going to be critical. i mean, look at how critical the port ports are in the united states whether it is long beach or norfolk or miami. those critical ports allow us to have the flow of goods. it's no different for ukraine. that's why it's important to hold those. but again, what we're seeing, especially in mariupol, president putin does not care about the slaughter that he is inflicting upon the ukrainian people. right now we are really witnessing the 21st century holocaust in that he is ethnically cleansing, leveling those cities in his blind pursuit for power, and that ultimately is going to cost the world because if we as a country are going to have human rights as part of our national security strategy, it's time to put up or shut up and do something about it. joey: real quick, we've got about a minute if left here. i know you said you think this is the moment for nato and the west and the united states to arm ukraine. what do they need in regards to
5:28 am
this assault in the south, and where are hay going to get it from? >> i think what we need to try and do, joey, is give the ukrainians the arms necessary to, number one, push the russians back in the north and push them to the east so that it gives them the strategic breathing room with forces that they can then extend down to the south and to flank the russians and be able to hit them there so that they can blunt the westward movement that that we are seeing along the coast. right now what you're seeing is nato is actually failing. when you listen to it, nato right now is what i would call right now the fab rejay egg of military alliances. it's the beautiful and amazing to look at, but never take it out and use it. nato has spent more time justifying why they can't do something rather than what they can. it's time for the u.s. to assume that leadership role and begin to push arms in there even at the risk of escalation because putin should not hold the

5:34 am
tune of hundreds upon hundreds, if not thousands of these posts that are on there. and the question is, why is the white house just letting hem sit there? what's not good here is what's getting across. this is russian propaganda that is drowning out every voice that if you and i went on there to say we want to participate or interact with a conversation, nobody would hear us. how's that good for us? let's just tell you a couple of posts these guys are putting on there. i put them through the translation from russian to english, and, for example, one handle says this, we're russians, we don't give up. the next one from vladimir says i remember alaska was ours. isn't it time to hold a referendum there? and the california region will become part of the russian federation. another, when will you start writing in russian, u.s. government leaders, assuming that at some point russia's going to be taking over this country?

5:36 am
paying already? and that's what a lot of families do. and netflix is saying but we have really high production costs. north of $13 billion. so they're saying we're going to, well, tune that out. a test is going on in three different countries, it is in peru, chile, costa that' ca. if it's successful -- costa rica. if one person tries to log in from a household that's not home, it's going to challenge you. it's going to say, hey, should you be there. now, it also is going to let you as the main if user pay another fee, pay more to let two additional non-household members go on netflix. i don't like that idea. nobody does. so people are proposing a work-around. yep, it's a trick. and if, in fact, netflix does that here in the u.s., here's one way they might do that. they might do that thing where you get the text called two-factor authentication, you've got to put in that code. but if everyone in the family's sharing it, how do you get
5:37 am
around it? i've got a trick online. we show you how people are saying you can get one free phone number like google voice is one example, and then you have that that, all the texts from that phone forwarded to all the authorized numbers, and you control the numbers that that it forwards to. keep in mind every text coming to that number is going to forward to everybody, so you just want to use it for one purpose, and that way a code is asked for, you have a certain amount of time to put it many to make netflix start playing. it may just work for those people who still want to share. pete: cracking the code. kurt the cyber guy, cyberbuy.com if you -- cyberguy.com if you want to figure out his trickery. kurt, good to see you, always. all right. still ahead, republicans are heading to gas stations, they say, to register voters. plus, we told you how goya foods is helping the people of ukraine

6:01 am
lviv. mike, have what have you got. >> reporter: we have confirmation that russia did for the first time in its history use its hypersonic missile in combat. they have fired two of the hypersonic missiles here in ukraine. russia released file video of a test firing of the hypersonic missile. it was launched from an aircraft. it flies multiple times faster than the speed of sound, it can evade air defenses and it is capable a of carrying a nuclear warhead. as threatening as it sounds, the pent gone does not see this -- pentagon does not see this as an escalation, quite possibly they say it is an indication that russia is running he low on precision guided munitions. civilian casualties continue to mount in the town of mariupol. 80 to 90% of the housing is said to be he destroyed. two bombshellters were hit.
6:02 am
we knows of 130 getting out. president volodymyr zelenskyy calls the russians war criminals. >> the beseiged mariupol will go down in history a responsibility for war crimes. the terror that the occupiers did to the peaceful city will be remembered for centuries to come. >> reporter: now, if west of ukraine has been spared the worst of fighting but civilians are preparing for the war to come here. a first aid class is being taught. the instructor says 1,000 students have learned how to stop bleeding. the west remained relatively peaceful but a cruise missile strike in the town of he be lviv twodays ago is a reminder n is very much at war. pete: thank you very much. joey: using this specific new anything's, why that matters, the pentagon said it doesn't matter, maybe it doesn't. a couple characteristics of the
6:03 am
particular type of new anything's, it can fly he low and faster than any type of defense. it can fly have it has to. it's constantly moving. you can't find a launch site and a hit it. what that means is they can take off from further away so most of the defensive weapons that ukraine has or of like what we have in poland that ukraine wants wouldn't be very effective against it. the reason why it may not be he's escalatory is everything they've been firing, some of those things could be equipped with nuclear missiles as well. if they want to use a nuclear weapon, whether or not they use this, they have the capability of to do it. pete: it's not a new type of bomb or new anything's. new anything's. it's able to -- munition. joey: it's not an escalation. the delivery system is of concern. pete: interesting. rachel: you had a great interview, joey, with curbing wk
6:04 am
lupold. i was paying attention to him. he said the ukrainians have made a strategic decision to protect kyiv and that by doing that, because they have limited resources, they basically let so much of the rest of the country fall into russian hands. and i was asking pete and i'm asking both off again, is that the right strategy? is it just a given that you have to protect your capital because he zelenskyy's there, because it's symbolic or is the loss particularly along the black sea route, is that strategically more important. pete: take that for a secretary. joey: you're talking infrastructure and resources. there's probably nowhere in ukraine who is as prepared for a siege or anything of that nature like the capital city, for one. for two, you have to believe se
6:05 am
zelenskyy and his generals had a battlefield plan. when you're outnumbered from the outset, what you do is essentially -- if you know this will be the case, you kind of retreat in a strategic way. you lead your enemy where you want youren no go rather a than trying to push them back when you're outnumbered. you have to believe the p original battlefield plan led them back to kyiv. obviously, they want to fight for that region in the south where they have access to water and there's natural resources there that funds their economy, there's oil and gas there but kyiv is the place on the map where they can retreat to and be stronger as opposed to run from. pete: absolutely right. underscoring that too, rachel, the ukrainians didn't know in which direction or even if vladimir putin was going to attack. rachel: a that's so true. pete: at the beginning, this is the contested area, the d ofonbs region. let me put that in red. that's where they were fighting
6:06 am
for eight years. understandably, there are -- at the beginning, 50 to 60% of ukraine's combat forces were in that area. they probably anticipated but of course then we learned later that belarus cooperated, troops came in towards kyiv, there were military exercises moving in this direction. once you determine what the open my's main effort has become, it's clearly become kyiv, i think it's evident they relocated some. we talked about this almost on day one or two of this, at this map so when you make that reallocation of resources that joey's talking about, of course you're going to lose ground over here as russians say, we're fighting a thinner force, they bring in the artillery, try to soften the target, you've got civilians fleeing and they had the advantage of coming in in a two-pronged approach. when we talk about mariupol and the horrific humanitarian conditions, it's because you've got russians coming from the east and the west and a now they're close enough they can use artillery as well.
6:07 am
it's not just other forms of munitions. this is the main effort, rachel, the russians certainly want to cut off. that's why you've seen additional bombings in the west. the want to cut off the resupply, they want to cut off the convoys of stingers and javelins and new weapon systems and fighters coming in and if had they can, of course they would love to punch through here. when we talk to jonathan hunt earlier, he said this is more or less rural terrain if between the south and the north. what's holding the russians up across the board are big cities which are very difficult to enter into and very difficult to occupy. and so they either shell them or they bypass them as they move along. rachel, you look like you've got a question. rachel: when he spoke to the guest, the guest said the time now is to resupply the ukrainians. we talk to other guests, pete and joey, who tell us listen, they're fighting val fighting -,

those ukrainians, they're on the right side. they were attack. don't underestimate, the russians are going to win. they're going to sl of og this out. your guest say now is the time to he rearm a them. when is the time to come to the negotiation table. zelenskyy is this hero but he may end up losing all of ukraine. at what point do you make a decision as a leader to come to the table? he indicated he wants to do that. is there anything that can be done so the russians get what they want and the ukrainians get back some of their country and the civilians who are suffering so much can get some relief? pete: joey, go ahead. joey: if you drew a line that followed the river, i believe it was general jack keane that said in the beginning, he and general kellogg have been phenomenal through all of this, that kind of splits the country in half. the line you drew a few minutes ago is a similar route, goes
6:09 am
from crimea to kyiv. maybe that's the map in the end. we don't know. to go back to your point about what type of negotiation, if zelenskyy says ukraine can win this war and that's all he said and we're going to fight until we do and putin says i've got all the time in the world, if putin says i've got the time and he resources, i control the narrative in my country, regardless if he's right or wrong, that's his belief and intent, that looks great as far as fixing a war, you know. rachel: ending it. joey: both lose, neither win. that looks great, we draw the line, you keep one half, you keep the other. that's not what zelenskyy's fighting for and that's not what putin's fighting for. pete: like the negotiations that broke down at the beginning, one of the demands that putin makes is he deposes zelenskyy and gets kyiv. joey: he wants to he
6:10 am
demilitaryize the entire country. pete: both can be true. arming the ukrainians and being prepared to fight, true. the russian military's overwhelming military capabilities, true. the second largest air force in the world, the russian air force, they've only allocated a small percent taken of it. if they want to continue to bomb the city centers and make it a war of attrition, they'll be able to likely gain the ground. the question is how much pain do they feel in the process. and to your point, and i want to move to the next map, how much pain will the civilians and ukraine feel, that certainly weighs on the heart of zelenskyy as he fights for his country as well. this is a zoom up of mariupol. you've got russians coming in both sides as we talked about and you've got civilians in the middle to include this art school that was recently bombed that we just identified. you've got a maternity hospital that was bombed, you've got a theater bombed as well including government buildings that they're targeting, they're
6:11 am
trying to topple the government in mariupol. when you look at the map, i'm going to zoom in on just this portion to give our viewers a sense of the level of devastation. we had mike tobin say 80 to 90% of civilian housing in mariupol is destroyed. here's why. these are the targets, buildings destroyed or severely damaged of moderately damaged in the small portion that i showed, this area here heavy with government buildings, this is the previous other government building we showed. if you have fields out here not easy to defend against armored column, you effectively have a siege where civilians can't get out, there's nowhere to go and russians are counting on the fact that over time they'll be able to lay siege to it and subdued the population. rachel: everything you heard about all the experts we've had on, trying to assess putin's state of mind, his history, everything about who he is as a person, is in your assessment is
6:12 am
there an off-ramp for him at this point. pete: knows he losing. he knows he can't admit it. he can't back down because e essential to him. he says i'm going to make russia great again and i'm going to do it violently, he can't walk back with a loss. the question in his mind is how does he justify what he can sell to his people as a win. i don't know how he does that in his brutal mind without deposing zelenskyy, getting rid of that government and taking control at some level in kyiv and to me that means laying siege to the capital city of kyiv, surrounding it. rachel: you don't think that taking a significant portion of the eastern part of ukraine is enough? pete: to me that's like taking new york state without getting new york city. and in his mind, they that means you don't control new york state. and it has such symbolic -- in his mind, russian significance, kyiv, in ukraine, religious
6:13 am
significance, historical significance, generational significance that he thinks is his and wants it back. because at this point look at how -- he's a pariah on the world stage. what does he care about international condemnation, he doesn't care. joey: how this war plays out, where ukraine is at the end is almost not as significant to the fact where we are already. if russia left today with every soldier leaving, how do you put intact our trade and other things with russia, looking at what's happened in mariupol, what already happened. from an american standpoint geopolitically this administration regardless if the war stopped tonight, tomorrow starts all of that mess and how do we reconcile that. rachel: it's so true. as you look at this and we're going to move on to the next topic related to what you're saying, it would be under this administration that we saw this joining of these two forces, russia and china. and that is one of the biggest problems that we are going to
6:14 am
have moving forward because our real enemy, our main enemy, our main threat globally is china and now china has -- pete: they're going to spin it. they gave afghanistan to the taliban and vladimir putin. rachel: with a ton of weapons. pete: did more than a minor incursion which was blessed off on and the goal from the beginning was to deter this and here we are three and-a-half weeks into human carnage and china is happy to see it happen. rachel: the foreign minister is blaming nato for the war in ukraine, one day after president biden spoke to xi about the war and as chinese officials call sanctions on russia increasingly outrageous. here's what the vice foreign minister said on saturday. .rather than breaking up nato, rather than breaking up, nato has kept strengthening and expanding and intervened militarily in countries like yugoslavia, iraq, syria and afghanistan, one could well anticipate the consequences going down this path. the crisis in ukraine is a stern
6:15 am
warning. i mean, that's certainly the way someone in the east would see the way that the west has executed their ambitions on the west and with nato. i spoke with gordon chang, he's an asia expert, as you all know. he's a senior fellow at the gatestone institute. here's what he says biden should do, he thinks he should impose sanctions. listen. >> the biden administration really is stuck in this engagement theory and president trump broke that because it wasn't working. president biden i think should have imposed the sanctions on china. china's already provided material aid and it's been doing that for weeks so the biden administration is warning about things that have already happened so of course it should be imposing sanctions now. pete: one of the big holes in putin's and china's argument that nato expansion is to blame for this astonia and latvia are
6:16 am
nato countries on russia's border. we have pushed those two together in a moot -- mutually beneficial arrangement where they can bail each other of out when need be, distance themselves from each other when need be with the shared goal of replacing america as the world's leader and frankly replacing freedom as the vanguard of control of the world. joey: if you look at the countries he outlined, syria, iraq, afghanistan, those are countries that only benefit china really for those countries to be in turmoil to an extent because they don't have the opportunity to align with someone like nato. i mean, yes, our involvement has yield ad a net negative in iraq or afghanistan. we should be taken to task internally for that, how are we going to do that the next time if this opportunity arises but it isn't like they operate under come veil of morality. these are real dictatorships, we do have a moral cause in this country. we want to defend democracy. we have to learn that we don't
6:17 am
get to every chance we want to and every where we want to and that's something the american voters have to take -- pete: you can't impose it successfully everywhere. boy did we learn that in iraq and afghanistan. people have to want to fight to defend their freedom. that's what we're seeing in ukraine and the extent to which we can help them without involving ourselves militarily only strengthens their position to be free in the future if we do that earnestly. rachel: i asked gordon chang if he thought the sanctions would work against china, given they have concentration camps and our companies are still doing business with them. he said forget about the corporate stuff, he thought financially our u.s. government could impose massive pain on them with freezing assets and that sort of thing. that concerns me again. and this is one of the problems with these segments, they're so short because the follow-up to that i wanted to ask what about the reserve currency of the united states, how do we remain that way by doing these kind of financial deals. pete: and the debt they own. rachel: so complicated, so much
6:18 am
to talk about. pete: all right. 17 minutes after the top of the hour. turning to a few additional headlines, starting with this fox news alert. in belgium six people are dead after a car plow intuse a crowded carnival. 10 others were injured in the incident. two people including the driver were arrested a. reports indicate the car was possibly involved in a high speed chase with police. terrorism is not a suspected motive at this point. four people are hurt after a gunman opens fire at the south by southwest festival in austin early this morning. police say the suspected gunman is now in custody. first responders say all four victims are being treated for nonlife threatening injuries. the annual festival he focusing on music, tech and film began march 11th and concludes today. and to a fox weather you alert, a major wildfire in texas claims the life of an eastland deputy. she died after checking on elderly residents caught in the

fast moving wildfire. governor greg abbott now declares a disaster as the wildfires burn 45,000 acres, 50 homes and forced families to evacuate. the fire is spreading due to dry conditions and wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour. and those are your headlines. rachel: all right. well, we have a live look at poland where more than 50,000 ref knew few gees are a-- refugees are arriving daily. poland is doing so much in the refugee crisis. up next, find out how you can help american veterans provide much needed medical supplies to the people of p ukraine. we're a different kind of dentistry. one who believes in doing anything it takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to new patients without insurance - everyday. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan. we're on your corner and in your corner every step of the way. because your anything is our everything. aspen dental. anything to make you smile.

6:24 am
concerned that they might be the next refugees. now, this weekend a bipartisan delegation of 10 senators led by senator joni ernst of iowa visited a polish refugee center near the ukraine border to show american solidarity with the ukrainians and our nato allies and they saw firsthand the severity of the refugee crisis and they heard about the millions of people inside ukraine who cannot access humanitarian aid because of the constant air raids there. >> it's a truly weak man that targets children, elderly, women. he may be trying to project strength but he is a weak man when he's going after weak individuals. >> reporter: now, both democrats and republicans believe the fastest way to end this humanitarian crisis is to end the war and the way to end the war is to arm ukraine with the weapons that can defeat you
6:25 am
putin. for republicans at least, they that means migs. now, meanwhile, panic buying of iodine pills is spreading across europe as concerns grow that the longer this war drags on, putin may lean more on nuclear threats. i met the wife of supervisor of ukraine's largest nuclear power plant, he says he is still working there under russian troops armed with guns. she was watching with the rest of us as the russians fired roberts at the compound while her husband was still inside. >> it was the most terrible night of my life. it would be a huge tragedy nor europe, not just for our city. if something happened there, even poland would not be able to save its people. >> reporter: and pete, cat rina tells me her husband is safe, that the russian troops are not harming him but the international atomic energy agency has expressed grave
6:26 am
concern about the staff members of these nuclear power plants, especially being able to make decisions without russian influence, talks are underway right now to try to figure out how to secure these nuclear sites. pete. pete: amazing. thank you so much. all right, as the ukrainian refugee crisis continues to grow, companies are stepping up to give aid to those who need it most and that includes nine line apparel who is working with ngos and nonprofits to help provide much needed med supplies, clothing and protection to orphans and the most vulnerable caught in the cross-fire, the ceo tyler merit just returned from ukraine. he joins us now. tyler, first of all, tell us what you saw. before you tell us what you're doing, what did you see on the ground? >> yeah, it's to echo what everyone else has been saying. the spirit is strong if in ukraine. the individuals there, it's not afghanistan. it's a unified country that don't want to be russian, they
6:27 am
don't want to be occupied. they're ready to fight, ready to take up arms. they're sending women and children out of the country. those willing and able to fight they're staying and they'll be there until the last he breath. pete: tell me about your effort in that country. >> as we saw in afghanistan, there's a lot of great organizations out there. there's a lot of bad organizations out there that say they're going to do great things and they do nothing. i want to make sure that our time and our money was not wasted. i went out and met with recovery groups, an incredible group of individuals that primarily know cuss on not war-torn countries. they go to countries that are dealing with natural disasters. this is outside their element but they're there doing god's work. they're trying to help children get out of the country, get out of harm's way. actually have an official agreement with the government of ukraine to try to keep the orphans that can stay in the country, country and find them
6:28 am
safe houses and get them out of the beseiged cities that the russians and their paramilitary and contractors are terrorizing civilians. these are individuals, russian actors, bad actors that are taking the lead of putin and they're committing atrocious acts against the most vulnerable. they even pulled some civilians out of a vehicle carrying 30 orphans out of the beseiged city on tuesday, while i was out there, and they pulled them out, they executed them and our driver was able to run through a blockade and get the children to safety but i need kevlar blankets, i can't bring in kevlar vests. it's against the rules of what i'm allowed to bring into poland. i need kevlar blankets, i need clothing for children and i need money. the recovery group knees money. we're focusing our time and a efforts to raise money through t-shirt sales, all of our proceeds will go towardses
6:29 am
combating, getting our most treasured group out of ukraine, the orphan children who no longer have parents. pete: you're saying you were there and you personally have seen executions, humanitarian you atrocities and this is happening on a regular basis. >> yeah, our group has safe houses within ukraine and obviously the ttps and how we're getting in and out are not going to be discussed but, yeah, it's almost like an everyday occurrence where acts of just inhumane acts are occurring against the civilian population where they're executing adults in front of children and it's just another day. pete: unbelievable. >> in. pete: the website is ninelineapparel.com. it is supporting the efforts to help the vulnerable in ukraine. thanks a lot, as always, leading from the front. >> thank you, pete.

6:35 am
been noncontroversial. however, several senators including josh hawley from missouri waged verbal war against the judge accusing her of going soft on sex offenders preying on children. >> are re-going to get a judge who will protect children or child predators. it's a simple question, one that every parent in america would like answered, one that the white house doesn't want to answer. >> reporter: it is a question the white house has answered a few times over the past few days, when asked about jackson, arguing that hawley is misleading the public on the judge's record by blatantly taking a quote out of context that was originally not hers. listen. >> he took a snippet of a transcript out of context when judge jackson was repeating something the witness said in order to ask a question about her testimony. some who are accusing her of being soft on crime failed to note that what was omitted is a sentencing commission report that's been touted out there's was unanimously supported by a
6:36 am
bipartisan sentencing commission. >> reporter: and minority leader mitch mcconnell over in the senate says he is concerned with the judge's past as a public defender worrying she may favor criminal defendants but he promises to give her a fair hearing. when she was voted to the federal bench last year, three republicans, lisa murkowski, lindsey graham and susan collins voted to put her on the federal bench. opening statements take place tomorrow. the questioning is tuesday and wednesday. justice briar will step down likely the end of june. joey: thanks, david. from the battle around the beltway to the battle around the speedway, the folds of honor quick trip 500 returns to atlanta motor speedway today at 3:00 p.m. on fox. before the big race, let's check in with fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth who is talking to another one of my buddies, nascar legend, richard childress. rick. >> reporter: everybody's your buddy joey.

6:38 am
to the tracks, no one in the stands. and to have everyone out of the houses again, no masks. >> reporter: i want to talk about ukraine. you are involved in two different organizations that are helping the efforts going on in ukraine. let's talk about first ammo and what you guys have done. >> ammo, inc. and myself, the board, we put together a deal, fred, we sent a million rounds. it made it to europe. most of it is sitting there. i think all of it will be there by tonight. we had to help. i heard the president say i don't want to leave, we need ammo. so i got ahold of fred and fred jumped in there. he was the first to say let's get it going. >> reporter: we don't have too much time. you've got another -- you joined with johnnie morris from bass pro shops and there's convoy for hope dot org. i think i've got it right. we have it on the screen there.

pete: we're back with a fox news aletter. brand-new video, first we've seen it, just into the newsroom, showing rubble and destruction at the ukrainian marine bar diss hit by rockets on friday. joey: it happened in a coastal city. 45 ukrainian marines reportedly killed. the number could rise as the search for survivors continues. rachel: the rockets rained down while service members were sleeping. pete: wow. all right. to another topic, americans still feeling pain at the pump as gas prices skyrocket with many blaming the biden administration's dependence on foreign oil. getting rid of our ability to drill it here. but democrats disagree on what's really fueling crisis. >> the price at the pump never seems to go down. whatever the situation is, and
6:44 am
we understand that there are lots of fluctuations between the time it comes out and the time that it gets to the pump. but the reality is there's clear profite, ring from oil companies. joey: a new poll shows republicans are more likely to democrats to call gas prices a financial hardship. will voters take notice. rachel: let's ask host of sunday morning futures, maria bartiromo. i was particularly interested in what the congresswoman said. is she said oil companies didn't care about profit before this moment that we're in with inflation? what is she saying here? maria: hey, rachel, good morning to you and team. look, everybody knows what she's saying, it's all political and nobody believes it. we all know that the price of oil is reached by the global supply and demand dynamics and that's why we have prices where we do because of worries over of
6:45 am
supply because of bad policy and we all know that at this point. i got a text from a friend in los angeles this morning. $9.55 a gallon for diesel. almost $10 a gallon for diesel. $8.55 for regular gasoline right now in los angeles. you are talking 9 and $10 a gallon of gas right now in los angeles which my friend just sent me the picture from a mobile station. it's absolutely extraordinary. we all know what would take the price down. more supply on the market. that means the xl pipeline and drilling on federal land, two issues that president biden decided to change when he walked into office on day one. so i think most of the public understands that this putin price hike hashtag that the white house has come up with is complete optics and not true. the price of gasoline started moving back in march, april, may, june, july of last year
6:46 am
after president biden's policies took effect, no more xl pipeline and no more drilling on federal land. unfortunately, because it's all optics, people understand that the voters are taking notice and that's what this white house is trying to get in front of. you know, the president was at that democrat leadership event last week saying i'm sick of this, everybody's blaming me. it's not me. well, that's because his policies have triggered this and everybody knows it. it's the same thing about afghanistan. it was all on of ticks. he want -- optics, he wanted to have a good story to tell on 9/11 so he had a botched withdrawal out of afghanistan. optics are number one with this white house and that's unfortunately problematic for the american people. pete: content is number one for you and your show, i know you have a great one coming up today. maria: yeah, i just want to say that we are all asking the question, where is the transcript from the president xi jinping faux call with president
6:47 am
biden. -- phone call with president biden. we're supposed to believe the president laid out consequences with china should they continue to partner with russia. we canceled the china initiative which the doj was supposed to be investigating intellectual property theft. this president has not put any consequences down so you would think that maybe they would release the transcript so that they could prove that in fact he's getting tough on china. so far, i'm not buying it. but we're going to talk about it this morning with the ranking member of the intelligence committee who has still not had a briefing on the xi/biden phone call about 48 hours now past the call. so we'll get into it, why the white house refuses to release the transcript. do you remember under the trump days the democrats demanded donald trump release transcripts of all of his calls. rachel: oh, yeah. maria: not so for this white house. rachel: yeah. pete: well, maria, we'll be tuning in, in about 13 minutes. appreciate your time as always. rachel: thanks, maria. looking forward to the show. maria: thank you. rachel: tomorrow is world

6:53 am
they say they don't belong in society. legislation like this is priceless. it's going to stop that and bring awareness to what's happening to people like my beautiful daughter and your beautiful daughter. rachel: i couldn't agree more. kayla, this bill is about ending abortion but very importantly it's also about educating people about what a blessing people like khloe and valentinea to their parents, family and frankly to the world. >> absolutely. we in west virginia are very thankful that we have state legislature and a governor who are taking this opportunity to world down's syndrome day to educate our communities on down's syndrome and to celebrate an honor the lives like khloe and dalton and so many amazing vest virginiaans. rachel: your t motto is embrace, don't erase down's syndrome. can you tell me a little about that?
6:54 am
