war zone where there are no american troops and you can't embed it is vital to have lifelines that you can rely on. thank you so much. >> dana: talk about a lifeline. thank you so much. we'll stay in touch with you as the story will continue. ben is in a medical center recovering and we thank you for getting him there safelyly. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> dana: here is harris. >> harris: we begin with a fox news alert and right now the historic u.s. supreme court confirmation hearing for ketanji brown jackson is moments away for getting started. president biden said he picked her because she will be the first black woman to serve on the highest court in our nation and her potential confirmation would be four women would be there. also the latest developments on u.s. supreme court justice clarence thomas. he is hospitalized with an infection. he has been there since friday.

we're told he is resting comfortably today and expects to go home this week. and with a desperate dictator and a killing war machine it is day 26 since russia invaded a sovereign nation, ukraine. russian forces brutalizing the people in the hard hit city of mariupol and telling ukrainians to surrender. ukrainian forces have a deadline to surrender but that's not happening. now let's get to the senate judiciary committee getting a good look at judge ketanji brown jackson. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". today will be reserved for opening statements and tomorrow judge jackson will face questions from the senators. republicans already ramping up their criticism. >> she doesn't seem to have a judicial philosophy and not clear about where she is on court pack being.

>> there are some concerns about people have about being soft on crime. that will all come out with the hearings. >> she will be treated much better than democrats have typically treated republican nominees like clarence thomas and bret cavanaugh. it will be a deep dive into her record. >> harris: let's set up the live movement right now. i want to bring in fox news chief legal correspondent shannon bream. set the stage for us. republicans are perched and it is about to start. >> judge jackson is officially in the room taking her seat getting ready and listen, people you saw her this morning shaking hands, talking with various senators. people who may vote for or against her. she is exceptionally bright and charming and think she will do a good job in the hearing. it is about to officially start. we caught up with her this morning. she lives in d.c. a short trip

across town to get her here today and she has been very busy since being announced. meeting with various senators who will eventually vote on her and murder boards where they try to prep her for what she will face this week. republicans are raising questions, josh hawley one of them, who said he wants to probe her on whether she is soft on crime and sentencing decisions she made as a judge for child porn convicted offenders. his take on that. >> to the extent we can find her cases she has had 10 we believe with child porn offenders. in every one where she had discretion she sentenced below what the federal recommendation was and what the government recommended. >> the white house pushing back on that. andrew baits saying it is toxics and weakly presented misinformation that is cherry picked elements of her record out of context and buckles

under the lightest of scrutiny. judge jackson will get to explain what she was thinking when she faces questioning this week. opening statements from all the members of the committee today. we'll hear a statement from judge jackson herself and the question is in earnest at 9:00 a.m. eastern. we'll be here to cover it. >> harris: jonathan turley, george washington law professor and fox news contributor. thank you for being in "focus" on this. we'll watch and monitor the situation and as we get going, we already know and shannon's reporting told us more about what some of the republicans' exceptions will be. the things they want to ask about. where would you start? >> well, what we don't know a lot about is her judicial philosophy. one of the reasons is that she refused to answer questions about her judicial philosophy when she came up for her

appellate position. she said it wouldn't be appropriate for her to hold a philosophy other than the one followed by the court. it was curious to a lot of us because there is no reason why you can't have your own judicial philosophy. you have to follow precedent but they were asking about how she would approach interpretation. as a trial court judge she has lots of decisions but not a lot of decisions on that front. a couple of longer decisions and she is not the first nominee to have that unknown element. but you can expect she will be pushed on this and say now you are going to go to the supreme court. what is your judicial philosophy. do you follow a living constitutional approach? how do you approach interpreting the constitution? and they will ask her about some specific cases. she was reversed a couple of times on major opinions. and in one opinion the d.c. circuit reversed her where the underlying statute said this

matter is left entirely to the agency discretion. and she then went ahead and ruled on it and the circuit said the statute expressly says you can't do what you just did. >> harris: well, and my quick interjection with a follow-up. what philosophy could she have that would be counter? what would you be looking for if she were to answer non-generically which she did previously? >> i expect her to be very general in response to these questions. the most forthcoming of the nominee that i've seen and i've covered virtually everyone on the court and their confirmation hearings was barrett. she was very open about her judicial philosophy. i think those murder boards have encouraged her to stay fairly general like other nominees. she is an extremely capable person and very likable and very good in these hearings. and i think that will come through.

she has a tremendous reputation. i spoke to the federal judges who think the world of her and she brings a couple of things that are refreshing. she was a trial court judge. that's a perspective missing often on the court. she was a federal public defender and most of the justices don't have that type of litigation experience. those are all pluses for her. and i think she will do quite well in responding to these questions. >> harris: just in case somebody happened to tip in murder boards are those phony mock question periods, non-literal in the meeting just want the say that. i know people tuning in wait a minute. i want to get to this. >> according to msnbc the fact that hawley asked about her sentencing record she was accused of trying to have her killed which i wrote about on my blog today is that it's bizarre. she can easily answer these

sentencing questions. i think she will have a nimble response and substantive response to senator hawley's concerns but this commentator thought this was a literal threat on her life to raise these questions. >> harris: we'll move on. andy mccarthy, former assistance u.s. attorney said this about what we might hear from republicans. let's watch. >> change the trajectory of the court, number one. number two there isn't a lot of drama to this. it appears she has the votes to get confirmed. so i think if the republicans are smart, i think the way they should play this is for purposes of the upcoming mid-term elections and to set up the presidential election, the kind of nominees that president biden wants to put on the court. >> harris: that is plain speaking from andy mccarthy. what is your take? >> well, from the very

beginning of this hearing you will tell a difference already. i think andy will be pleased by the fact that the optics are different. when amy comey barrett appeared, the democrats surrounded her with giant pictures of people who were relying on the affordable care act. the impression they made was that all these people will be endangered by this nominee. that she would kill obamacare. it was completely absurd. i said at the time the case was not a threat to obamacare and she would be more likely to vote for it and she did to exactly that. but the democrats still just surrounded her with this circus environment. they were really in my view out of line with now justice barrett. they are clearly going to give judge jackson the confirmation hearing they denied to justice barrett and that's a good thing. it is just that the hypocrisy

is so high you need waders to get through it. >> harris: we sometimes but that to music. i want to get to this. 25 senators on the judiciary committee who will make their opening statements today. we'll hear later in the afternoon from judge jackson. she will make hers and then the questions in earnest will begin tomorrow. that's how it is laid out. senator ben sasse talked about what he would like to hear this week. >> i want us to vet judge jackson's judicial philosophy. i don't want us to attack her as a human but a debate what her judicial philosophy is. if you get lifetime tenure you don't confuse yourself with a super legislator and we need to know that's there. >> harris: that's a nuance on something that senator blackburn expressed and your first expression today, too, what you would be most concerned about. what i understand senator sasse there to be saying is he just wants her to be sensitive to

the law and not follow lawmakers. >> what's fascinating about that comment is that in the barrett confirmation, democrats lined up and said that they would vote against now justice barrett based entirely on the fact she had a conservative judicial philosophy. so they really drew this line and said in their view that is a disqualifying criteria. they would vote against her because of that. it created precedent for republicans to do the same thing. they can say look, we disagree with the judicial philosophy of this nominee. either because she won't fully explain it or because she has a philosophy that we consider to be unfounded. so the democrats are going to have to thread that needle. they created precedent that may now be used against them with their own nominee. >> harris: quickly, is it too

simplistic to say that judicial philosophy -- i'm watching the screen right now -- the shot is solely on judge jackson. when it changes they'll go to the live event of everybody's statements. is it too simplistic to say judicial philosophy is like your politics. >> people confuse the two. they say the supreme court is filled with ideologues and it's usually used for people that come to conclusions they don't like. all the justices are trying to get it right. they have different views of jurisprudence and they're consistens. liberals and conservatives are voting together. they're following a consistent view of how to interpret the constitution. the question is going to be what is the view of judge jackson? the assumption of many people is that she will have a profile

in voting much like justice sotomayor but you really can't make that assumption without hearing more from her as to how she thinks you should approach the text of the constitution and statutes. she was reversed because the court of appeals felt she ignored the text of a statute in a previous case. lots of judges are reversed. she will be asked to explain that. >> harris: you have given us a premer on what her week could look like and the things we'll be watching. as senator mcconnell said with all due respect it will be very respectful how he felt some past conservative candidates have not been treated. they'll make up the difference and pour on that respect. which is how it always should be. so it will be refreshing to watch that. >> it should be, that's exactly right. >> harris: thank you very much. appreciate your time and expertise always. >> thank you. >> harris: we'll monitor today's hearing and bring you any news out of it as we get it.

a lot is scripted. we know what some of the statements will be. you can watch it screaming live on foxnews.com. ukrainians refusing to surrender in mariupol where people are trapped without clean water, food, heat, so much more and they're suffering. those who can survive at this point. they have a deadline for ukrainian forces to give up, to surrender. but you've seen the ukrainians, right? they haven't said that they will do that. russia's advance largely stalled but putin's army of terrorists is still targeting civilians. then there is this. >> president xi and putin have pledged they will be close friends and allies, period. so china sees a great deal of its future as part of the dictators against the free world.

>> harris: one bad acting dictator wants to make you look at all of them. russia's invasion putting china's aggression in a new light. is taiwan next? former green beret and florida congressman michael waltz is in "focus" next.

>> harris: we're about to go into the 26th night their time in ukraine of vladimir putin's all-out assault. after a weekend that saw multiple attacks on citizens, homes, schools, other buildings. they are not shooting at ukraine's military. they are shooting at the people

who live there. and bombing them. in ukraine's second largest city kharkiv among the victims killed a 9-year-old little boy. it happened yesterday in a russian tank artillery attack. ukrainians remain defiant. thport city of mariupol rejected putin's demand to surrender by today after weeks of bombardment. russian army of terrorists is what i call them shelled an art school, some 400 women and children and elderly were inside taking shelter. as tension and worldwide outrage continue to rise over the russian onslaught, president biden spent the weekend at his beach home in delaware seen going for a bicycle ride in stark contrast to ukraine's president who sent this warning that very same day. >> i think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have the possibility of

negotiating, the possibility of talking to putin. but if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third world war. >> harris: wow. the white house optics are hard, aren't they? fox news correspondent mike tobin live from lviv. mike. >> we'll start you off on the north central part of the country where a mall just north of kyiv was flattened by a russian missile strike. we have video of that missile strike. the ukrainian prosecutor general says eight people were killed in the strike and says this will amount to a war crime. the brother of the mayor says this is russia trying to starve ukrainians until they pressure their leaders, a place where people are starting is mariupol to the south of the country. they have been under siege for two weeks. russian defense ministry offered an escape route for civilians but ukrainian

fighters needed to surrender so that cease-fire offer was flatly rejected. further west to the town where a marine bare yaks struck on saturday the mayor says it was bombed twice today. the people of this town are standing ground and fighting. >> they are motivated, ready to defend our city. ready to stand until the last ammo. as for women we are trying to evacuate them from the city. but to be honest, not too many people want to run away now. >> here to the west of the country the air raid sirens are sounded three times. we don't know of an impact anywhere, harris, back to you. >> harris: quickly before i let you go, we've heard and witnessed the resolve of the american people. when you hear that military

member say people don't want to go, are they thinking that they can best defend the cities or are they just defiant to a blood thirsty dictator putin or both? >> seems first and foremost they're defiant. they want to defy these people invading their country and they believe that they will prevail but they are accepting that a lot of civilians with pay with their lives before they get the russians out of this country. this is a marathon, not a sprint and a very bloody test they have to stand up to, harris. >> harris: thank you very much. stay safe. florida congressman michael waltz, combat decorated green beret and member of the house armed services committee is in "focus." first of all mike tobin and i were talking about the resolve of the ukrainian people. let's talk a moment about what's coming at them from russian forces and where we might engage next if at all. you are on capitol hill. what are you learning?

>> just to mike's point on the resolve of the people of mariupol. as green berets with specialize in gorilla warfare. the key element of the three you need. one is the will to fight. two are the resources to continue that fight against all odds. and then three is a sanctuary where you can get armed and resupplied, which we clearly have now in eastern europey an countries. that will to fight is critical and the old addiage i would rather die on my feet than rather submit on my knees is never more true. from capitol hill perspective, what the ukrainians most need right now are sophisticated air defenses. the f-300s, there are other types called sa14, 7, they have different ranges and different types of radars.

but if those eastern europey an countries would provide those, some of them are hesitant because then it would leave them exposed like slovakia, bulgaria and poland. if they provide those and we'll backfill them with u.s. systems like the patriots, i think it could be a game changer in terms of pushing back the russian air force that is devastating these cities. >> harris: when you hear putin say if you supply those types of gear and equipment and lethal weaponry to the ukrainians, he sees it as escalating in terms of, i guess to him triggering war, although he has done that by invading. what do you make of that and what should the pushback be from the united states or just ignore him? >> the administration is correct in drawing a line. policy distinction between american forces ornate owe forces getting directly engaged

in the ground and air but providing all of the weapons systems that the ukrainians need to fight for themselves. what the administration has to stop doing is letting putin make false distinctions. this type of missile is okay, this type of air defense system is escalatory. we can't let -- biden cannot let the fear of escalation continue to give putin space to continue this murderous invasion, otherwise he will eventually move up the ladder to weapons of mass destruction as he gets more desperate. we need to put clear lines in the sand and not make false distinctions and give the ukrainians everything that they need. harris, more strategically this is grind being into a stalemate that will make the eventual peace talks more and more important as everybody jockeys for position in those talks. >> harris: right. i do want to get to something that maybe congress can engage

in. basketball star, wnba britteny griner is the latest american to be detained in russia and her stay was extended, imprisonment. we haven't seen her. that was after being arrested for allegedly having cannabis oil in her luggage. trevor reid and paul whalen are being detained there. one was sentenced to nine years in prison. whalen was arrested in 2018 sentenced to 16 years in prison for espionage. he denies that. senator tim kaine voicing concerns now about particularly greiner's safety. let's watch together. >> her detention and this continuation of the imprisonment is all to try to make her a hostage and a part of this chess game. so i think vladimir putin and the russians want to use her as

a negotiating chip and what are horrific thing to do to someone. >> harris: any way that backfires on putin? >> well, this kind of tactic of hostage diplomacy is a longstanding tactic of authoritarian regimes. the iranians have habitually done it. the taliban are doing it. they still have an american that we completely left behind in the withdrawal. maduro regime has american oil workers on house arrest. again we can't let putin dictate the terms. but i do not see us getting back into any kind of meaningful relationship until those americans are freed. that needs to be a pre-condition when we move beyond all of this if putin ever wants any of these sanctions lifted or any type of normalcy, we have to deal with that up front, not on the back end. >> harris: the reports about the health of the two men who

are already -- americans already in custody are not great. we can't really quantify and qualify all of that and we need a proof of life. we need something on britteny griner right now. maybe proof of life is too strong but we need to know what her conditions are. is that something congress can help with? >> well, i think absolutely we can and we'll continue to push for it. but at the end of the day my heart breaks for their families because these dictators are deliberately scooping up these people with false trumped-up charges to use them again as a pawn in this broader chess game. >> harris: when you mentioned hostage taking as something that our enemies do, all i can think of was iran and we know they do it. and now this president, president biden, wants to do a deal with iran. let's just remember where we've

been and look at where we are now with americans abroad. congressman waltz, great to have you in "focus" today. >> by the way, some of those iranian hostages were left behind as part of the original jcpoa. it is heartbreaking, egregious and this administration better get them all out. >> harris: we left americans behind in afghanistan. thousands of ukrainians packing trains and buses and cars to escape the russian onslaught going on for nearly a month. but the humanitarian crisis now has reached an overwhelming point for the cities and countries who are taking them in. we'll go live along the border and we'll have this. >> putin is absolutely desperate right now. this war is not going as planed. he is putting psychological pressure on them because he is out of chips.

>> harris: anti-war sentiment catching fire inside russia despite a brutal crackdown on people who don't agree. he calls them traitors and wants them killed. putin threatening more repression and violence against his own citizens. lieutenant colonel daniel davis next. prescribed by cardiologists and has helped over one million people. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

>> harris: russian vick date tore vladimir putin is concerned he may have a revolt on his hands inside his own country. anti-war protests continue despite a crackdown and thousands of demonstrators have been arrested by police. 15,000 people. >> the russian people are really against the war. it is putin's war, not russian people's war. what we showed on our programs was very different from what was going on in reality. the propaganda on our state channels was becoming more and

more distorted. >> harris: she is a face that's becoming known to the entire world, the russian journalist who went viral with her anti-war message on russian state tv last week. they yanked her. as the relentless shelling of ukraine continues, putin is lashing out at what he calls pro-western russians. here it is from last week. >> any people and even more so the russian people will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum and traitors and spit them out like a fly that accidentally flew into the mouth. such a natural cleansing of society will only strengthen our country. >> harris: aren't you glad we get to see her? we're leaning in as media to give voice to the people in russia who are against the war in ukraine. they are putting their lives on the line, too. analysts saying the failure of russian forces to bring a swift

victory in ukraine is frustrating for putin. here is one headline. russian military slog in ukraine a dreadful mess for putin. i want to bring in retired colonel daniel davis. glad to have you in "focus" today. what kind of pressure is there on the dictator, putin, and what could that mean for him inside his country? >> well, i think that right now from what i can gather from a number of different sources is i think he is trying to cut this off before it gets too big. there clearly have been a lot of protests but in terms of scale and how big they've been and other things it is still relatively small. for all of these kinds of things i'm told that there are a large majority of russians that actually believe this stuff because they don't think it is propaganda and they are the opinion it was a war forced on putin and he is defending

them by nato advance. we know it's not true but many in russia do. so far the initial stage of this is that putin is trying to get this to be a self-selection kind of thing. not any action so far. he wants peer pressure among the so-called loyal russians to put pressure on the others: if the military falters further and if they have setbacks, those things will rise and you may see him take other measures. what this shows you, i think, putin is committed to this and that's why we have to understand what we cannot do is put too much pressure on putin to where he feels like he is cornered and he escalates. that would be the biggest mistake for us. >> harris: we have to play fair to a dictator now? don't push him too hard but push him hard enough? how do we know where the line is? he is a killer. >> you have to be careful. because the consequences to us,

to other nato allies, is so high if he spills beyond the border we simply can't take that risk. we have to make sure we protect american and nato countries and nato populations. that has to be number one no matter how awful it is there. >> harris: i will ask my team to hold off for a second with the elon musk part of this. you talk about the disinformation and how we're dealing with this, too. i want to show pictures of the humanitarian crisis. the 10 million or more ukrainians displaced, those who could get out and trying to get out. don't our allies take a look at that particularly countries like hungary and romania. where do they get to the point they're unified to do more? poland tried for the mig 29s. is there pressure when you see millions of people coming to your border to say that could

be us? >> yes, absolutely. that is absolutely and strongly happening. you have poland not only suggesting the mig 29s but they'll announce if a nato summit hearing the next couple of days they want a peacekeeping mission to go into western ukraine with nato forces which is i'm afraid a terrible idea because that increases the chance of escalation and direct conflict between nato and russian forces. but i think the best view comes from the estonian prime minister who said we have to keep this from expanding beyond the borders into nato. we have to increase our capabilities in eastern europe, and we have to do everything we can to contain it within the borders. i think she is right on that because she knows that they would then suffer if this expands beyond and she doesn't want her population to suffer. that's a good marker for us. >> harris: peacekeepers have to have guns around them.

>> exactly. >> harris: they have to be protected. quickly downloads of elon musk star link app have surged in ukraine. we see him on twitter talking about it all the time. musk sent the starlight satellite technology to ukraine in response to a public request from the vice prime minister concerned about internet disruptions. we know putin would love that and already done it inside his own country to keep them from getting the right information. star link is designed to deliver high speed broadband internet to places where it's unreliable or unavailable. the first shipment arrived two weeks ago. what is your take on this as an american pushback? separate from the military and also as i understand may help them fly the drones we give them to kill the russians. >> yeah, without question anything that gets a chance for

the people who have been cut off from a lot of information to get accurate and true information throughout ukraine is certainly a good thing. we should be facilitating that and supporting it for sure. but i think we have to be careful that we understand about some of the limitations of just how far it can go because despite what i think some people are saying the russian military on the ground is still making progress. if they make a couple of key cutoffs here they could make faster progress. we have to understand the russians are not stopped just slowed down. >> harris: i know what you are talking about. the seaports and the port cities like mariupol. they are thirsty for that and connect with crimea and other areas they've already taken. colonel, thank you very much for being with me in "focus" today. >> always my pleasure. thanks. >> harris: president biden pointing the finger at anybody but himself for record high gas prices and inflation. democrats can't say he can't blame putin for everything.

they are not alone in that. >> they said the inflation was transitory, remember that? and now it's putin's fault. americans aren't buying these excuses. unfortunately they're paying for them. you see, son, with a little elbow grease, you can do just about anything. thanks, dad. that's right, robert. and it's never too early to learn you could save with america's number one motorcycle insurer. that's right, jamie. but it's not just about savings. it's about the friends we make along the way. you said it, flo. and don't forget to floss before you brush. your gums will thank you. -that's right, dr. gary. -jamie? sorry, i had another thought so i got back in line. what was it?
