3:01 am
>> we use it. >> president putin attempts to make the world listen. >> officials on the ground savea bloody city of mariupol resembles a dead land. >> nato summit in brussels. >> we need president biden to express leadership not only for american people but for the whole world. ♪ >> brian: fox news alert. ukrainian forces defending their land overnight, pushing back against russian aggression. >> ainsley: day 28, a battle is unfolding as president biden is set to depart hours from now for an emergency nato summit in brussels. >> steve: we start this wednesday with mike tobin in lviv as fears grow putin will resort to chemical warfare. what's that about?
3:02 am
>> it's certainly a threat. that would be the response to essentially if putin was backed into the corner, the fear is that he would do something as drastic as go to non-concessional weapon. in terms of him being backed into a corner, there certainly are indications from western military experts that ukrainians are going more and more on the offensive. what they have not succeeded in doing yet is putting the russians into a position where they are on the retreat. but for a small -- a few small locations. one example of that is the town of mac mac live. makariv frontline russian advancement to the south. that is the situation there. there are reports that the ukrainians claim a small cluster of small towns in that town in that area near makariv give them access to the e-40 highway stretches all the way to the western part of the country and
3:03 am
give them access to resupply. it could be a big development. seeing in terms of small offensive what the ukrainians are doing to the east. towns where they are trying to push the russians back across their own border further south to the town of mariupol. destruction as far as the eyes can see. estimating some 2300 people have been killed in that town and estimate, unfortunately, that when the smoke clears, that number will be dramatically low. president zelenskyy says the aid buss that were coming into town were stopped by russian forces. some 11 drivers have been taken into custody along with the aid workers who were trying to get aid to the people. now, amid discussions that the russians are undersupplied and demoralized, we have video of russian armor pulling up to a gas station in the town of kherson, getting out of the armor and looting gas station there now, we have seen a lot of
3:04 am
videos to this effect. this is the first one that we have been able to vet for you. but it does speak to the fact that these guys may very well be hungry if they are going through the gas stations and gathering up all the food they can. meantime, president zelenskyy continues his video conference world tour, this time appearing before the japanese parliament. again, he hammered the point that he wants sanctions, sanctions, sanctions, against russians, guys, back to you. >> brian: mike, if you think about the weather there, i hears a it gets warmer it's bad news for the tanks. they got to stay on the road. the heavy armor. they cannot go off road. so, is -- does it feel like it's getting like spring-like compared to when you first got there? could the ground be thawing? >> it is considerably warmer. in fact, you heard people saying before the invasion that the russians were going to wait for the ground to freeze for that very purpose, to bring the tanks in. now tanks are track vehicles they do well in bad environments
3:05 am
but, when you have ground that is so soft and wet that they sink up to the bottom or the frame of that tank, then the threads are spinning and tanks indeed have been getting stuck. they have been breaking and having problems with resupply and now we have got indications at least resupply from the north the bell belrusian rail workers not only going on strike but sabotaging the rails. the russian resupply method is all built on a strategy of using rail line. that's a big blow to the russians forces if that indeed is what is. >> ainsley: reports ukraine leaders accusing russians of seizing 15 of the rescue workers. these are people trying to get food and supplies into the residents there who don't have any food, water or electricity. what happens to these individuals when the russians seize them? >> we don't know. all we know right now is that they have been detained. we are hearing that from
3:06 am
president zelenskyy himself. that's absolutely heartless. you have at least 100,000 people still stuck in the city of mariupol. 7,000 got out yesterday. that's just a drop in the bucket. these poor people who are really in a struggle for their lives and someone is trying to get them food and medicine and someone is strong those aid convoys and taking the aid workers into custody. their status, frankly, ainsley, is unknown. >> steve: mike, is custody in the country of ukraine or is custody they take them to russia? >> well, you just don't know. all we know is that they have been detained. presumably treated initially as prisoners of the russian army and we know that in the case of some of the people taken from the donbas region, they have been taken into russia. when you are talking about mariupol, you are in that general area. so they very well could be escorted off to russia or used as bargaining chips.
3:07 am
>> steve: i wouldn't put it past putin. you are absolutely right. thank you mike tobin where it is noon there on this wednesday. >> ainsley: little bit warmer which is great for the residents. >> steve: russian troops not only running out of fuel they are suffering frost bite. putin's war in ukraine you just look at how much more? you think about the humanity, to your point, ainsley, talking about how -- a dozen of these convoy drivers were taken into custody. all they were trying to do was get the food to the people in mariupol who got nothing. and what do they do? they take them into custody which who knows what that means. >> brian: here's the thing. they need food and water. their fighters are there. there is about 7,000 people left. there was once 450,000. 7,000 left on tuesday. the small number of ukrainian troops will fight but they need food and water. if we can't get it on land. remember that organization zip line they used to drop blood in
3:08 am
africa to needy nations? we had them on before. they had the drones. they drop blood. why can't they drop water and food through the sky? we got the organization. get funding. why can't anybody think innovative how far to do it. not the ukrainians, people on the outside. if you lose a drone it's an unmanned drone. you blow up some water, lose a drone we can get that in the meantime, if you can replenish the ukrainians who all they want to do is food and water in order to fight. we should be doing it the other thing to keep in mind, too. the f 300s are not there yet. why they are not there before the war is going to be a great after action report. if you have missile defense systems for these cities, the russians don't have the horse or the audacity to go into the cities outside mariupol and fight. so at least give them the f 300s to shoot the planes out of the sky since you will not give them the planes to actually fly in the sky. >> ainsley: there are reports this morning that russia was using -- we are worried about
3:09 am
chemical weapons. they're using incendiary weapons. not considered a chemical weapon. if you look it up on line. >> steve: right at the edge. >> ainsley: it burns through individuals' skin and the pictures are horrifying. the president is heading over today. the president is going to europe starts in brussels and going to poland. jump on marine one 8:40 and leaves joint base andrews at 9:00. here is what he thinks the president should accomplish. >> the first thing you ought to do is make sure that make sure there are antiship missiles being sent to ukraine right now. i have not heard anybody talk about this. but the fact is when you watch the black sea fleet of the russian navy start to bombard the ukrainian coast. we have lots of missiles which are capable of destroying those warships. second, i want to know whether or not the high altitude anti-aircraft missiles which biden promised last week are now in ukraine.
3:10 am
third, biden ought to say if putin is going to engage in a policy of killing civilians, then we are going to give surface-to-surface missiles and cruise missiles to ukraine. when somebody starts killing your women, your children, destroying your cultural heritage, you have a right to defend yourself by taking out their airfields and their missiles. >> steve: that's such a good idea. nobody is really talking about that. but the point before that where he talked about whether or not the ukrainians have any munitions to take out the ships. right now the shelling of mariupol is occurring because there are seven russian ships in the black sea shelling mariupol. also include a mine sweeper and a couple of landing vessels. why don't the ukrainians take the ships that are shelling the people that are scattering all the people, that are blowing up the cars and blowing up the schools and blowing up
3:11 am
everything. why don't they blow up the ship? let's stay tuned and find out. maybe that's one of the things that joe biden will talk to the allies as he rallies them later today. >> brian: the theme should be this. you can win. mitch mcconnell said it the ukrainians can win. the whole focus can be not let ukrainians hurry up and do talks. they will make that decision on their own. but the fact is the russians can't communicate. they came from with basically no cell phone service. they are using ukrainian cell phone services. wipe out the pretexts to russia and steal the ukrainian phone system. they didn't walk in schwartz cough or typically franks they have nobody in command. the north and south and east and west nobody communicating with each other and nobody in the west. we have a chance to slay this cancerous overrated military right now. the ukrainians are willing to fight. we just have to get them the supplies they need to do it. what is so bad is the cia
3:12 am
mischaracterized and misjudged the strength of the russian army and they thought that ukrainians would fall within a week and thought zelenskyy was going to be dead. and because they overachieved, they find themselves scrambling to arm a country that should have been armed four years ago. actually six years ago when they went in 2014. >> ainsley: other big stories in the news this week is the supreme court. there is a nominee. you probably watched it all day yesterday like we all did. judge ketanji brown jackson she was suppressed about her record, about being soft on child pornography, on court-packing on crt, on abortion. on gitmo. here's a little bit of it if you missed it of the mainly republicans the conservatives that are questioning her record. >> do you agree with justice breyer and justice ginsburg that court-pack something a bad idea? >> it is a policy question for congress. and i am particularly mindful of
3:13 am
not speaking to policy issues because i am so committed to staying in my lane of the system. >> what does critical race theory mean? what is it. >> senator, my understanding is that critical race theory is -- it is an academic theory about the ways in which race interacts with various institutions. it doesn't come up in my work as a judge. >> the government said it added up to over 600 image mass, gobs of video footage of these children that you say that does not signal a heinous or egregious child pornography offense. help me understand that. what word would you use if if it's not heinous or egregious. >> it is heinous. it is egregious. what a judge has to do is
3:14 am
determine how to sentence defendants proportionately consistent with the elements that the statutes include with the requirements that congress has set forward. >> can you provide a definition for the word woman? >> can i provide a definition -- no, i can't. >> you can't? >> not in this context. i'm not a biologist. >> steve: so she had answers for everything although she cannot answer that one right there. by the way. things will kick off again this morning at 9:00. >> brian: she had nonanswers for everything, too. >> steve: tom cotton asked her if the needs more police or less she did not answer that senator kennedy asked her when life begins she said she didn't know. her personal and religious beliefs have nothing to do with
3:15 am
the law. chuck grassley said do you believe in the fundamental right that people have to keep and bear arms? she says the supreme court has established that as a fundamental right. meanwhile, supreme court justice and sitting one clarence thomas remains in a washington, d.c. hospital. we believe he is still being treated for an unknown infection. he does not have covid. >> ainsley: good news. hopes he gets better. praying for him. ted cruz, when you see ted cruz had all these poster boards of all of her cases of child pornography and how soft. and he put each case up and talked about how much she sentenced them but how much the federal guidelines prosecutors. >> steve: a fraction. >> ainsley: prosecutors were recommending. 4% less than what the federal guidelines had suggested. there was one case an 18-year-old boy. he was just finishing up high school. he had videos of 8, 10, 11 and 12-year-old. she sentenced him to three
3:16 am
months. the liberal prosecutor in a case was asking for two years. the federal guidelines said 10 years. and ted cruz said this is a disturbing pattern. >> brian: how she could not answer the question are you against court-packing? having pride in the branch of government that you are in and answer in the way ruth byrd ginsburg. >> ainsley: or breyer? >> brian: justice breyer. you don't know the difference between a man and a woman? >> i understand you have to guard against everything you say more than ever today. but i still do think she could have answered that relatively easily. >> ainsley: just is say how she feels one way or the other. >> steve: a number of times she also said regarding court-packing it's the congress that establishes. >> brian: how do you feel about it? >> steve: it's up to congress. >> brian: that's a nonanswer. and then when she comes to crt. she is sitting on a board of a school that actually has crt in the curriculum when she says it's part of college study.
3:17 am
>> ainsley: georgetown day school. >> brian: how she got around that is unbelievable. obviously she is qualified and she will pass. the question is will she get close to 60 votes. >> ainsley: she says the board doesn't know if she is teaching crt in the classrooms. i have so many friends on school boards in school districts and they know what's taught. ted cruz brought out books. this is what they are teaching in second grade or third or fifth grade. it's information i don't want my daughter to learn. >> steve: cruz said he claimed one of the books accused infants of being racist and he asked are babies racist? she said i have not reviewed those books and they have not come up in her work as a judge which is a lot of the things she said a lot yesterday. i have a feeling she is going to say a lot today. >> ainsley: are babies racist? >> brian: everybody knows kids are racist. goes without saying. so we will see the questions asked now. i think it's a joke that people
3:18 am
are getting mad at republicans or democrats for asking tough questions because she is friend woman. i think that it would be insulting not to ask tough questions to everyone equally, keep it out of 11th grade dating practices and keep it away beer trips to red sox games and i think people -- everything is on the table. >> ainsley: she is highly educated. she has been a judge. >> steve: she has been approved by the senate three times. >> ainsley: that's right, exactly, to get higher and higher. she was very respectful. she was wonderful to all of them, productioning or democrats no matter what the questions are. it's just her record that's being questioned. >> brian: absolutely. we seal what happens. susan collins and lisa murkowski lindsey graham voted for her last time on the appeals court. a violent tornado touching down overnight in new orleans. adams klotz is tracking where the severe weather is heading next. >> ainsley: revealing look at the life of vice president kamala harris. what reportedly set her off about a vogue cover shoot.

3:27 am
>> brian: staring at something the size of your palm. >> ainsley: watch fox nation, hillary. >> brian: i wonder if that was suggested. >> steve: you never know. we can suggest that lots of good content there. remember after the vice president went down guatemala in june and all these stories that came out about the discuss function? that shocked the president of the united states according to a brand new book that comes out on may 3rd by a couple of "new york times" writers. the president called in the senior staff he said if there is any leaking people are going to get fired. well, since then we have seen so many people come and go is it related to these stories this book a very unflattering image of the relationship between kamala harris and the president and things going on at the white house. >> ainsley: this is excerpt on the first lady and the book is called "this will not pass." there are millions of people in the united states, why do we
3:28 am
have to choose the one who attacked joe? >> brian: it's a mystery who said that? >> ainsley: we are wondering, clearly they are trying to say it's the first lady. why are you picking kamala when she attacked you during the debate? >> steve: good question. >> brian: she got eaten up by tulsi gabbard that was one moment of the debate people thought she was going to be formidable. great opening speed and donald trump and sitting president at the time said she is going to be good. everything fell apart. she didn't have any depth on the issues. what are you going to do with the border. health insurance? private insurance? i have no idea why do you ask these questions. and seemed to be caught by surprise. despite having a ton of money, didn't even last through the first primary, she got her whole career got reinvigorated when she was chosen by the nominee who became the president, president biden obviously. she talked about being frustrated with her current spot. both writers say her frustration level is up in the stratosphere. the unnamed lawmaker compared

blamed her boss joe biden. she says how was she supposed to communicate about voting rights communication. harris asked west wing aids when the president wouldn't even say he supported changing senate rules. meantime communications director kate bedingfield is take a look at all this stuff and behind the scenes she told somebody she blames kamala harris. >> ainsley: this is excerpt on her from the book in private bedingfield has taking to noting vice presidency is not the first time in harris' political career she had fallen short of sky high expectations. her senate office had been messy, and her presidential campaign had been a fiasco. perhaps she suggested the problem was not the vice president's staff. >> brian: instead of her coming out i never said that, i don't think that she said nobody in this book called to verify any of the sources or called to find out if that's true. that's not saying i didn't say it. that's not danget well, no one
3:31 am
called me. maybe they got voice mail. i actually don't know why they wouldn't call her to find out about it. >> ainsley: 10 staffers since june. one a month. they are saying she is not prepared. we heard there are rumors of a toxic work environment. she really came under fire after that lester holt interview when she became the border czar. she never went down to the border and lester holt interviews her and says why haven't you done with and she says i haven't been to europe either. a few days later she is visiting the border. and that's when. >> brian: barely. >> brian: just the passage of time. >> steve: when we did the tease, we said she was upset with one image. upset that anna picked an image of her wearing converse sneakers and skinny jeans on the cover. right there you can't see it. if we drop the banner you can see the shoes. she said would vogue depict any other leader in the this way

3:37 am
good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: this hearing yesterday was a lot different than the last one we had when the democrats are just absolutely blistering amy coney barrett and mr. kavanaugh. >> yeah. definitely. i think you could kind of see that coming up a couple times even senator graham sort of questioning judge jackson about religious views and getting backlash from that because of what happened to judge barrett from her confirmation hearing where she was repeatedly questioned about catholic view. senator graham was trying to make a point about double >> steve: asking about judicial ruling and theory and how she operated. that's really what you want to know in somebody who is going to sit at a job for the rest of their lives. >> at first liberty we defend the first amendment we are
3:38 am
concerned about her interpreting the constitution and there is different philosophy. originalism philosophy most conservatives lean to that's the idea that you interpret the constitution the way it's written second cultural nornls and the last is sort of the one that you saw senator cruz starting to allude to a and that is the version from a critical race theory that is that you interpret the through a lens of discrimination in that case you think the constitution isn't worth defending. she would not answer certain questions she had answered, for instance on court-packing she said hey, you know, that's a question for congress. it's not a question for a judge. are you expecting today more answers like that where she turns it around hey, if you want an answer, you have got to change the law? >> well, i think she definitely has a great opportunity to clarify her answers on some of those points, particularly
3:39 am
court-packing. i mean, justice breyer and quincyberg were explicit about their thoughts about court-packing i think it's important for a justice to be clear about that. you can definitely expect to hear them ask her again about critical race theory. because i don't think that the republican senators were satisfied with her answers about that. you can also expect to hear about sentencing again and her sort of leniency and in terms of her sentencing on the sex offender. so all of those things you can expect to hear about once again. >> steve: all right. she is at first liberty institute she is counsel there keisha russell thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you so much for having me. >> steve: our hearing coverage will be starting promptly at 9:00 this morning. meanwhile, up next, america last. why the new proposed iran nuke deal is even more dangerous than the one president obama had. plus, the runner of to transgender swimmer lia thomas is a winner in the eyes of florida governor ron antioxidants. desantis, we willtell you why ts

3:45 am
as a former state department deputy special envoy under former president trump and came to the united states as an iranian refugee. why is this one even mover dangerous than the 2015 deal? ellie? >> brian, it's great to be with you. you know, the biden administration came into office and they promised us a longer, stronger iran deal. instead they are coming out of the vienna talks with a shorter, weaker deal. it's catastrophic to u.s. national security and this iran deal is an historic betrayal of our allies, israel, saudi arabia, and the rest of our gulf arab allies. the limitations on iran's nuclear activity expires in just two years from now, brian. the iranian regime is going to receive $90 billion in sanctions relief which what they will do is fund their terror proxy hamas, hezbollah, houthis the palestinian islamic jihad the list goes on. finally, brian, this iran deal does not touch on iran's ballistic missile activity. i have to remind the audience
3:46 am
what do you do with ballistic missiles? you put nuclear warheads on them. there is no peaceful purpose to ballistic missiles and that's the reason why president trump ripped up the deal in the first place. >> brian: right. of course. they never came clean on their nuclear intentions. it was the israelis who grabbed all this documentation in 2018 that talked about their nuclear program. we never established a baseline of what they have. there is no snap elections. we have no access to the military bases where this stuff is made. and maybe the iranian national revolutionary guard is going to be relieved of their terrorist status. how devastating would that be? >> well, it would be devastating to americans. because irgc has american blood on their hands. i can't even imagine what the victims of iran's terror, the families of these victims are thinking right now. imagining that joe biden might lift the foreign terrorist designation organization off the
3:47 am
irgc. literally the blood of americans on their hands. and, brian, it would be a betrayal to our american families who have served in the military. again, it's an historic betrayal of our allies, israel, the kingdom of saudi arabia. what we are seeing is the saudi crowned prince won't take joe biden's phone calls. it's going to cause complete destabilization in the middle east region. eventually bring the united states right back into the middle east. and it's just incredibly dangerous for our own national security. >> brian: keep in mind those people that used to be our allies in the region will just go china. they don't care. china will have the best of both worlds again. so shortsighted they want to undo everything that trump did even when he brought peace to the middle east. incredible. hopefully sober democrats will stop this in its track. ellie, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> brian: if they offer it to congress as a treaty. carley. i understand you have some other

>> ainsley: well, you have heard of inflation what about lunchflation. many americans returning to work have noticed double digital costs in the cost for wraps, burgers and even salads. next guest ceo of the popular sand witch chain ohio had to raise his prices. good morning, bob. >> good morning, ainsley, how are you? >> ainsley: when did you have to raise your prices and by how much? >> we raised our prices in february by 5.4%. and we hated to do it. we saw inflation all through the last year to 18 months, it really kind of unprecedented. i have been in the business for 35 years. it's some of the worst that we have seen. we tried all we could to offset those expenses with initiatives, rerolled out a new menu, we have cheaper sandwiches in our skinny size sandwiches. we did labor efficiency. at the end of the day, the inflation on food and labor which are number one and number two input costs here in the restaurant business were too much for us to handle.
3:54 am
>> ainsley: you know when president biden was running as a candidate and now as a president, he said he wasn't going to raise prices or taxes on anyone making less than $400. but we are seeing gas prices going up. we are seeing restaurant prices going up. food prices at the grocery store going up. isn't it really hurting its attacks on the middle class and on poor families in america? >> you know, we hate it. you know, you think about -- we talk about those two things food and labor as expenses. to your point they are really human elements. those are our people. that's the backbone of our service here at pot belly, the quality of our food which is highly labor intensive to produce and deliver. so, these are, you know, these are people's lives that are affected by these costs and we're happy to pay market wages to our people. we are thrilled to have them paid according to what the market bears and at the end of the day we didn't have much of a choice but to pass some of that onto the customer. and only a 5.4% increase, which historically in the restaurant
3:55 am
business is a pretty big increase. we felt it was exactly what we needed to be able to offset that. and we hate doing it, because we care just as much about our customers as we do our employees. >> ainsley: right. >> that's where the balance come in. >> ainsley: restaurant owners said we waited as long as we could, we didn't want to raise the prices because we need customers to stay afloat. >> that's right. >> ainsley: you can't get to the point you lose money. you have to pay your employees. they said the average family, because of inflation, is paying anywhere between 3500 and 5,000 more a year. then another study says that gas prices are making every family pay an additional $2,000 more a year. that's a lot of money. most families don't have that extra 7,000, $8,000 to pay. what are your customers saying? are you seeing fewer customers visit your restaurant? >> well, fortunately, we are seeing our customers come back into our restaurants. especially in our city centers where people are getting back to work. and seeing that traffic. you know, we have got a great
3:56 am
relationship. we work on very hard with them. so they seem to be understanding of the price. there are customers that notice it. but they also appreciate what we have done to give them other options. like i say with those new sizes. it gives them a chance to maybe mix a sandwich and a salad or a sandwich and a soup. and that really helps. >> ainsley: so good. we love your restaurant. thank you so much for coming on with us, bob. >> thank you. have a great morning. >> ainsley: you too. coming up, bill maher sending a warning to california democrats that high prices at the pump might cost them more than just money. his prediction that a red wave is about to hit the golden state.

4:02 am
becomes desperate and one of the things happening on the ground is there is reason for him to become more desperate as we are seeing more and more ukrainian counter offensive. start you off with the town of makariv, it is a little subbush west to the capital city of kyiv. also west of irpin seen so much video of the refugees coming out combat really involved in the frontline offensive with russians trying to gain access to the capital city of kyiv. with makariv, we have got information that ukrainians were able to take that little town and a cluster of small towns. it would give them the advantage, at least some new advantages in terms of being able to resupply around the capital city. other ukrainian counter offensives in the south mayor mykolaiv say russians have been driven back towards the town of kherson. in the east ukrainianens going on the town driving russians back towards their own border. to the far south of the country in mariupol, they are surrounded
4:03 am
on three sides by the russians. the navy on the fourth side. civilian deaths are in the thousands. buses driving aid to mariupol stopped in a town, 11 drivers and four aid workers were taken into custody by russians according to the ukrainian deputy prime minister. she says efforts are underway to release them. one man who was released is the mayor of the southern ukrainian town. he was caught on security video as russian soldiers put a bag over ivan's head and led him off. he said he was ultimately released for nine russian soldiers. >> i was exchanged for nine soldiers of the russian federation whom i say with my own ice during the exchange. i could not tell if they were professional military or con scripts soldiers age 18 to 20 years old who came to ukraine to kill civilians. >> president volodymyr zelenskyy continues world tour.
4:04 am
japanese parliament stressing pressure on russians is the path to world peace. steve, ainsley and brian? >> steve: mr. tobin, let me ask you this, the secretary general of the united nations says that he sees progress coming into view that could actually settle the conflict. but there is no real talk between the two size in public at this point. and nobody really thinks that russia is ready to compromise. where are we with these peace talks? >> well, the latest we have heard from the russian side is that the peace talks are off. they don't find that the ukrainians have bent enough to their demands. and you have seen the ukrainians, of course what they want is a complete cease-fire. unconditional seas fire. the russians have said what they want is to carve off the separatist area. the donbas region as it's called. and they want -- they want the ukrainians to lay down their arms. essentially a complete surrender and surrendering of their arms.
4:05 am
and those terms are just unacceptable to the ukrainians. >> steve: gotcha. mike tobin live in ukraine. thank you very much. >> you got it. >> brian: their fighting force is 90% from the hundred percent that they had when it started one month ago. no sign of the syrian reinforcements are showing up anywhere. no sign that the russians even have troops to bring in to replenish forces. also clear communications and someone at command and control is not really happening to joining up. the only place ukraineens have not given up yet. trying to create that city land bridge donbas region to crimea. maybe they will start talking. if they take odesa, maybe the russians turn around and go that's enough. let's go talk and cut a deal i will tell everybody that i got a third of their country back.
4:06 am
there is also a sense that zelenskyy could win. that if he holds off long enough that his fighters are good enough that every time they engage with the russians, the russians fall apart. >> ainsley: newt gingrich said we need to be sending over the weapons that will destroy their warships that are in the black sea because they are trying to take over the ports and all of those cities down on the southern region i was reading this morning 15 aid workers that were grabbed from the russians. >> brian: yep. >> ainsley: over there trying to give water and supply food and supplies russian take aid workers. one says left without a home, without a city, without food, starving in cold basement. corpses on the street. they are not even burying them. >> brian: the "wall street journal" has a report out today the president is going to be walking over to brussels with more than -- sanctioning 300 members of the russian state -- their version of congress. so they are going to hit them personally.

4:08 am
learning the same things we learned in the last round of these kinds of talks. >> senator whitehouse's argument that the supreme court has been bought by dark money was taken out under him before he was able to even get to the questioning period, which i think set his staff into a frenzy to try and come up with some other questions for her once it became her turn. but we are on day two as we mentioned. yesterday senators had 30 minutes to ask her questions about her judicial record, her judicial philosophy. and it went late into the night as we know. up to about 10:00 p.m. they wrapped up on capitol hill. they will be back at it this morning at 9:00 a.m. there are big questions about her philosophy on critical race theory, last night senator marsha blackburn asked her to define what a woman is. she couldn't do that, which brings up lots of questions about how she would be capable of thinking about these cases at the supreme court if she doesn't understand what the definition of a woman is. and, of course, a number of republican senators yesterday
4:09 am
brought up her sentencing record when it came to child pornography. where on one hand she admitted that these are obviously horrific awful crimes but then said that the rules that congress put in place for getting child pornography in the mail are not adequate to address the idea that you can get more of it now on the internet and, therefore, the sentencing measures are too harsh. and i don't think that congress is willing to take up that issue to go to their voters and say they want to limit the amount of punishment for child pornographies. that argument was interesting given that she said she didn't want to talk about policy and yet she did weigh in with her own opinions on policy that has passed by congress being outdated on that issue. >> ainsley: lindsey graham and dick durbin they got into this heated exchange yesterday. ended up lindsey graham got up and walked out. this is about closing gitmo whether to open it up or close it listen to this, katie. >> if we close gitmo and move
4:10 am
them under colorado do you support detention temperature temperature i would just say on giving the facts. >> answer is no. >> i want to make clear the 31% you referred to goes back to 2009? 2000. >> what does it matter when it goes back. to say we had them and they got loose and they started killing people. >> well, i could just say. >> if you are one of the people killed in 2005, does it matter to you when we release them? >> suggest that the president of your own party released them. >> i'm suggesting. >> creating that danger. >> failed miserably and advocates to change this system like she was advocating would destroy our ability to protect this country. we are at war. we are not ofighting crime. this is not some passage of time event. as long as they are dangerous. i hope they all die in jail if they're going to go back to kill americans. it won't bother me if 39 of them die in prison. that's a better outcome than letting them go. and it cost 500 million to keep them in jail? keep them in jail. they are going to go back to the fight. look at the frickin' afghan
4:11 am
government made up of former detainees at gitmo. this whole thing from the left about this war ain't working. >> let me also note that larry thompson deputy attorney general. >> steve: there he goes. >> ainsley: katie, the context there when she was a public defender she represented some of the people at gitmo. some of the terrorists after 9/11. she said after 9/11 my brother actually enlisted but she said everyone deserves an attorney and you don't get to choose who you represent when you are a public defender. what was your reaction? >> well, the argument that senator lindsey graham was trying to make there and he asked her this question what is the difference between being in a war and treating detainees at gitmo, for example, as enemy combatant versus treating them like any other american citizen who has the full rights under the u.s. constitution in the sense that they have simply committed a crime? this has been a debate that goes back and forth to 9/11 in the sense of the hijackers and them
4:12 am
going to gitmo and being charged or not charged and held. and there has been argument about how we treat them. and, of course, the left has been wanting to close gitmo for years. wanting to bring these detainees to the united states. and there have been major questions, legally, about what that would mean in terms of the rights that they have if they are brought to the u.s. mainland and treated as criminals rather than enemy combatants. and, of course, judge jackson as you mentioned represented a number of these detainees early in the 2,000s. she was also asked yesterday about a brief that she filed calling the president of the united states and the defense secretary donald rumsfeld war criminals and her perspective on how she really felt about that issue and she tried to argue that it wasn't her point of view despite issuing the brief and representing these detainees. so there may be some follow-up from senator graham on that today. >> brian: i'm sure there will be -- he seemed to have gotten up five times during your interview. we kept showing it over and over again. i'm sure because it's going to
4:13 am
be an issue that's going to be before him because that issue is not going away. you know who else does not go away, show up in powerful positions the bowe bergdahl swap has not worked out for america. we got boberg dal back and these guys have a power base in afghanistan. unbelievable. talk about ron desantis. we watched over the weekend these ivy league swimming championships. the ncaa swimming championships and we watched lia thomas win the first race and seem to throw the others. ron desantis is looking at this as fairness for women's sports, which many people are. except for the governor of indiana who does not like the idea of not allowing transsexuals to compete against women. along with other legislature in utah as well. ron desantis used this time to crown the runner-up in this race the winner. ains she is from florida. >> brian: let's listen. >> the ncaa is basically taking efforts to destroy women's
4:14 am
athletics. they are trying to undermine the integrity of the competition and they are crowning somebody else, the woman's champion. and we think that's wrong. we are going to be doing a proclamation saying that emma is the best female swimmer in the 500-meter freestyle because she earned that. and we need to stop allowing organizations like the ncaa to perpetuate frauds on the public. >> steve: emma, he is declaring the winner although she lost to lia thomas by 1.75 seconds, katie. >> ainsley: she is olympic medalist too. >> katie: she is olympic middle medalist. if you look at the letter that governor desantis released it completely goes after the ncaa. the ncaa cowardly fashion refuse to address this exact issue. and trying to ignore the idea that women have fought for queal
4:15 am
equal representation in women's sports for decades through title 9 and, yet, you have them getting letters from a number of female athletes ahead of these championships. not just in swimming but in other sports as well. and they have deferred the issue. now you are seeing the consequences of that, of having lia thomas as the quote winner, taking a spot away from a biological female woman, being beat by a biological man, and the ncaa is just trying to wash their hands of this controversial issue when it does impact the legitimacy and the dignity of women's sports. , which again, women have been fighting for for decades. so i think ron desantis is taking the lead on something that the ncaa has pushed aside and should have addressed long before the championships now that they are over. a number of women, another swimmer from virginia tech got
4:16 am
17th place in race. didn't make the finals. and her career is now over as a result of that. so, for every biological man that is in the pool with biological women, it doesn't matter if they come in eighth place or first place, they are taking away an opportunity for a female athlete to continue her career or to try and win a title and in high school as we are seeing female athletes are being stripped of opportunities for scholarships, to make it to finals in their own competitions so this really does have an impact on the future of young women and ron desantis is going after the ncaa, which has refused to tackle this issue which is not going away either. >> brian: if you have a problem with this are you intolerant or are you pro-women? what side are you going to take. >> i think if you are not willing to address it, that you are anti-women's rights. and that you are erasing 30 years, 40 years of work that women have done to get women in equal playing feeding in college athletics. we are going to see how far this goes. of course athletics don't stop
4:17 am
at college. they start in middle school, high school, and go all the way through the olympics and other sports. >> brian: we should get serena williams and maria go to bat and let ncaa take them on. >> steve: thanks for joining us today. >> ainsley: great to see you. >> thanks, guys, have great day. >> steve: 1717 here in the east. we start with wild weather down south car a fox weather alert. new orleans powerful tornado through the city killing one and injuring dozens, first responders searching through a trail of destruction as thousands in the region are still without power. and in texas, recovery efforts are underway after about 1,000 homes were damaged in a tornado storm earlier this week. later this hour, we are going to have a live report on the ground in new orleans. a woman accused of striking and killing three people, including two pennsylvania state troopers now facing murder and dui

>> the nature of secondary sanctions is actually pretty simple. we simply declare that a financial institution, a bank, anywhere in the world that does business with the russia's banks and we would name which russian banks can into the do business with the u.s. institution. that means they can't settle dollars. they can't move dollar payments. they couldn't do euros or yen because that would be a violation of our sanction. no serious bank in the world can be shut out of the u.s. dollar market, the u.s. dollar business. and that's what causes them to isolate the russian banks, to isolate the russian economy. that's what we could be doing. that would be devastating to the russian economy and to vladimir putin. >> brian: we still haven't -- you give an example in your column about the danes, denmark, they are obligated to buy energy from gas 2030. that what could sanctions do. >> sanctions give them a legal basis for walking away from that contract. they have said they would like.
4:27 am
to say as for the case of europe's depend -- yes, very foolish, the idea that you would be shutting down nuclear power plants is just unbelievable. but, be that as it may. the fact is we're coming into the spring, the weather is starting to moderate significantly. the demand for natural gas to heat homes is going to drop very precipitously. it does every springtime. and, the europeans do have reserves, and the united states can provide l and g. so can other countries, look, i'm not suggesting this is a really easy thing to do for the europeans. how important is it to stop vladimir putin from trying to develop this brutal empire that will threaten who knows how much more of europe? >> brian: senator, green push in this country trip hurting our national security and tangentially killing ukrainians. because people have this ideal world in which we don't use fossil fuels. we are not in that world yet. >> that's just exactly right. i mean, you know, maybe that day
4:28 am
will come. maybe it even comes in my lifetime. i don't know that. but what i do know is that right now we depend on fossil fuels. it is the nature of our economy. it's the nature of transportation. it's the nature of generating electricity. and you cannot transition it overnight. it's what the biden administration has done to shut down the keystone pipeline. stop providing leases. it just makes no sense. >> brian: our hatred of pipelines is stopping pennsylvania from giving the new england area natural gas. >> so, instead, new england just imports it somewhere else in the world rather than getting it through a pipeline from pennsylvania. how crazy is that? >> brian: crazier than you can imagine. canada's energy minister came out and said hey, guys, don't go iran or venezuela, we have more oil. just ask. >> our nearest neighbors, our best friends. they have tremendous energy resources and instead we go to venezuela and iran. >> brian: you could be setting
4:29 am
up between mexico u.s. and canada. that is independence. senator, the lack of logic is astounding. >> yes, it is. >> brian: i appreciate you writing this column senator pat toomey, thank you. >> thanks for having me, brian. thieves stealing millions of dollars merchandise beverly hills jewelry stop using sledge hammers in broad daylight. is this one believable. airlines sky high prices you could pay for your next flight. . you can already have it and not know it. if you have chronic kidney disease your kidney health could depend on what you do today. ♪far-xi-ga♪ farxiga is a pill that works in the kidneys to help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections in women and men, and low blood sugar.

4:35 am
the amount of need in this community today. there is a nearby shelter for those who might not have a home this morning to go to, to get some food, water, stay warm. really as temperatures start to drop here in the new orleans area and get some rest. it was quite the night for many in new orleans. and a community of 5,000 here in able arabie, arabi. hurricane ida last year and now to see such devastation yet again it's a one, two, three punch for some folks who might have still had tarps on their home from that last major storm not even close to recovery. here they are today starting at zero. guys. >> ainsley: gosh, they have been through it down there. thanks for reporting on this. check in with adam klotz who is tracking the severe weather. good morning, adam. >> hey, good morning.

4:39 am
jeff, as you know, in america's airports, the demand is back after the pandemic. >> yeah. you could -- you can't tell whether i'm smiling or frowning this morning. i can tell you most people are out here traveling again. and that's part of what's driving the increase. only part of what is driving the increase. first of all here, take a look at what the prices are like right now. the average domestic flight right now is $313. that's up almost 30% from this time last year. international flights cost more, of course. but they are up a little bit less. not as much travel to europe given the situation over there. the other reason that fares are increasing is jet fuel. jet fuel doesn't cost as much as what we put in our tanks, but it has been rising, too. $3.33 the average gallon of jet fuel worldwide average. up 5% in the last week. up 37% in the last month and more than double in the last

4:47 am
so-called traitors. the russian people are now in fear because they cannot speak freely, they cannot criticize the russian government and that's what -- how putin wants to run things. >> steve: sure. because it's almost impossible these days with an internet to control what people say on the internet. now, russia has got these laws where if you say something that is not true, according to vladimir putin, on the internet, you can go to jail for 50 years. of course it all depends on what, you know, what could be true here in the united states, he might say, you know, that's disinformation. you are going to jail for 15. >> absolutely. and that is a deliberate strategy. not only has he been jailing antiwar protesters. he has been jailing journalists. he has been authorizing the poisonings and assassinations of journalists such as anna who, remember, covered the chechen

4:54 am
crisis? >> they clearly are. it is not just jail that contested that but yale is an incredible example. we are not talking here about -- but one of the absolute crown of american education. and the fact that law students there at yale do not understand the most basic thing, not just about america and the right to free speech and not just about academia where free speech is absolutely crucial but they don't understand in the profession they want to go into, you have to hear views that you may not like. it is almost a definition of working a court room that you will hear opposing views. in here are these students who heckle and shout at a panel consisting of three lawyers, all who happen to be women because they don't like the idea that you might hear views these students happen to not agree with. it is a terrible glimpse of what could be the next generation of american lawyers.
4:55 am
>> ainsley: what is happening the law students were disagreeing with this christian conservative that was representing the alliance representing freedom, and her name is christian wegner and they are yelling at her. the professor stands up and says calm down. this is all student appeal. she was criticized with him. if you are a conservative, if you do speak up you risk the chance of being canceled. >> that is true but no other option, i'm afraid. you have to speak up. they just have to. we have to. half of the country as being silent and we can't have whole professions giving in like this. many conservatives thought at the beginning of the woke stampede that this would only be in certain areas may be a sudden sort left wing discipline or
4:56 am
nondiscipline physical study areas. but people didn't really expect that it would go all the way through. go to engineering school and end up in the law school. but here we are. and we can't just give over. really important things like the law to activist left-wing mobs. one of the of the things that up that conversation with barry white, the number of lawyers concerned because now junior employees who don't like the idea of representing unpopular clients. if you allow that go on, that is the end of the whole system of american justice. we can't give it up. people have to speak up here and speak to as much, douglas, for coming on. >> my pleasure. >> ainsley: oil and gas executives offering advice to president biden after he blamed him for high gas prices and then they talk about relief at the pump. a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed

5:02 am
lviv, good morning, mike. >> good morning steve, ainsley, and brand. we cannot say the tide has turned but they are gaining ground with counter offenses. specifically we talked about the town of marakiv a suburb to the west of kyiv, where you see so much of the fighting. we have reports, in fact that ukraine's gained the town of marakiv but a little cluster of villages with a pocket of resistance and gaining access to resupply putting the frontline of the battle north of kyiv and the battle to the west of the river appeared to the south of the country, the mayor of the town said russians have been taken back to town of kherson. the ukrainians are trying to drive russian forces back across their own border. so to the south of the country, mariupol to unrelenting bum barked, surrounded by three sides of russian forces and the navy on the other side,
5:03 am
casualties in the thousands. 7,000 civilians able to escape mariupol. president zelenskyy estimates 100,000 people are trapped in mariupol where 90% of the housing is destroyed. president zelenskyy continues his videoconference world tour speaking with the japanese parliament pushing for pressure on russia telling the japanese they can be leaders of world peace. >> it is very important for each person on earth without peace in ukraine, nobody will be able to look at the future with confidence. >> now another place where the civilian population is growing increasingly more desperate is the town of turn the key to the northeast of kyiv. the people there have been isolated and james hill was killed. we know that a bridge the eight convoys using to bring food and medicine to the town has been blow up so the people are more
5:04 am
isolated. steve, ainsley, brian. >> steve: mike, thank you very much. >> ainsley: president biden leaving very soon on marine one to joint base andrews. soon he will catch a flight to belgium to huddle up with the nato allies appear nato allies appearance per month there the president to unveil new sanctions on russia talk strategies with world leaders to end the war in ukraine but ended the right way. >> steve: jacqui heinrich has beaten the president to brusselsand joins us live this afternoon. one of the people there what are they expecting to hear from the president and our nato allies? >> steve, ainsley, brian they want to hear from the president concrete plant something new because as you mentioned a 28 of this crisis in ukraine. tomorrow the president is expected to announce new sanctions on as many as 300 or more members of the russian
5:05 am
parliament according to "the wall street journal." the new plans to help reduce dependence on russian gas. >> people join our partners with further sanctions and tightening the existing sanctions to crack down on invasion and to ensure enforcement. he will work with allies on longer-term adjustments to nato force on the eastern flank. >> we don't have any details yet on the energy french but the german chancellor said germany will and dependence on russia oil and gas and but he warned cutting all ties could trigger an economic recession across europe. republicans in congress want the president to announce increased u.s. production of oil and gas to mitigate this problem. after brussels, he will head to poland to meet with the vice president russian with military aid for a spiraling refugee and military presence on nato eastern flank. at home, lawmakers are pushing
5:06 am
biden to be decisive in his next step. >> generally speaking the administration has tried to do the old to make the right thing but never soon enough. we need to step up the pace. at the speed of bureaucracy. >> polish leaders have called for western peacekeeping mission in ukraine but the u.s. and allies are concerned that could be seen as escalation. and 10,000 troops in poland, the president to meet with him on friday. the polish government has also suggested that poland to replace russia and the g20 largest u.s. economies, and allies according to jake sullivan. thank you. >> jackie, i know the white house have laid out the president for the president going to brussels and then pull in it but do we know of any stops he will make that will be announced or anything like that
5:07 am
yet? >> we know that in poland, he's going to meet with the polish president. we also expect him to make some sort of 48 and a refugee site or meet with u.s. troops stationed in poland. that is the schedule, that part of the schedule is being worked out here and brussels, he will meet with nato leaders and the g7 and counsel. >> steve: but zero chance it will go to ukraine? >> it is not on the table right now but we do know president zelenskyy does have a plan to address this meeting and a video conference the nato secretary general said in person meeting with saul alinsky was not off the table but there are no plans for the president or president biden to go into ukraine. >> brian: jacqui do you think there is a nato role or it is we will support you and you decide
5:08 am
president zelenskyy, how these talks will go and when or if they go? >> i think nato has really been driving all of this, even despite, the pressure for the u.s. to make decisions that nato could follow and especially the critics in the u.s. pushed nato saying nato doesn't lead unless the u.s. is leading. and very clear every step the u.s. takes to be in concert with our allies. every step of the way for imposing sanctions to banning oil and gas even despite some calls and cries he was not taking action quickly enough. i think everything that will be evaluated will happen on nato time when everyone can decide together what they want the next move to be despite obviously continued request from president zelenskyy to any number of things. he continues to call for
5:09 am
humanitarian core adores for a no-fly zone, polish mag 29 fighter jets. >> ainsley: jacqui you start brussels and head on friday with the president, right? >> yes. >> steve: thanks, jacqui, we appreciate it. i love the fact that people are saying that f300 are going to be going to ukraine. i love the fact that more arms and provisions are going there. i just don't know when they are getting there. that is the big key, you don't want to give away an too many questions and let them know when it is coming. we are not going to do that but the path we take i understand that but when these people are dying of hunger and thirst and the s3 hundreds aren't defending the city but while denying the migs and allow them to defend themselves it is beyond frustrag when matching up with a
5:10 am
superpower, ledge superpower russia and beating them almost every single time. >> steve: and out of mariupol are breaking. >> ainsley: when lady was interviewed and said they are not even being buried. they don't have electricity, water, food. >> brian: it is terrible. it is war. this is "the daily sun" the russians have three days left of food. and they are beginning to dry out. we know that is close to the story. you could be changing world history by bringing this cancer of europe to its knees and vladimir putin perhaps out of power if you make the right decisions over the next two weeks. i hope they understand that. >> ainsley: meanwhile yesterday was dated 2 of court nominate judge kentanji brown jackson was question. the first day of opening statements and they explained to her what they would be doing and yesterday, the grilling.

justice ginsburg that court packing is a bad idea? >> that is a question for congress. are you particularly mindful of not speaking to policy issues because i am so committed to staking in my lane of the system. >> what does critical race theory mean about what is it? >> senator my understanding that critical race theory is an academic theory that is about the ways in which race interacts with various institutions. it doesn't come up in my work as a judge. >> the government said over 600 images, gobs of video footage of these children, but you say this does not signal a heinous or agree just child pornography offense. help me understand that. what word would you use if not heinous or agree just mark >> it is heinous.
5:13 am
it is agree agree just? what a judge has to do is determine how to sentence defendants proportionately consistent with the elements that the statutes include with the requirements that congress has set forward. >> can you provide a definition for one? >> can i provide a definition? >> i can't. >> you can't? >> not come i'm not a biologist. >> steve: she refuses to define what a woman is. you know, obviously in a hearing like this, the preparation is extensive. but what is interesting when josh hawley was asking her about
5:14 am
the court case, he asked why in the hawkins case she actually apologized to the defendant during the sentencing. and he asked a great question, was he the victim or were the victims the victim. it is about trying to get into her head to figure out if she sat on the supreme court for the rest of her life, what sort of judicial direction she knew where to go. that is what katie pavlich told us about an hour ago right here on "fox & friends." >> and they were big questions about her philosophy on critical race theory. last night senator marsha blackburn asked her to define what a woman is. she couldn't do that and of course a number of republican senators brought up sentencing when it came to child. and obviously horrific crime and
5:15 am
obviously child pornography for a male and not have to address the idea that you can get more of it on the internet and therefore the sentencing measures are too harsh. it is quite interesting and she didn't want to talk about policy but then she did weigh in on her own opinions with policy. >> brian: there was some stuff in her background and surprised at the details senator ted cruz put up there past decisions, using her own words and the fact the grammar school has critical race theory in its curriculum. she said i know nothing about it. that is when we are like probably got intercepted into her career and she was unable to explain it. but nothing will stop her from getting confirmed, i imagine. the question is how many votes will she get? last time it was collins, murkowski and lindsey graham photo for her so you wonder if they will get close to 60. i'm sure she will not lose democrats. by the way to update you on

5:24 am
not the first time and harris political career she had fallen short of sky high epics expectations. the senate office messy and presidential campaign a fiasco. perhaps the problem was not the vice president staff. insinuating clay, the problem was the vice president. >> welcome i think this is a big story, steve, reflect above where kamala harris came from in california, is defect a one-party state. meaning she wasn't really challenging her rents in california because she was there a great hope there. and because she managed to grow so much democratic support. there is not a real strong opposition party. certainly the media doesn't impress her and remember this is a candidate for president who had to drop out of the democratic primary before their head even been a vote taken. she was pulling at 1%, 2%, 3%
5:25 am
and democrats were not responding well at all to her steve. at some point if you have the same problems and you keep changing staff and those problems don't go away, may be, and i think kate bedingfield is making a point. the issue is the vice president herself. >> steve: and apparently after vice president went down to guatemala and she had that terrible interview with -- i've never been to europe either. there were the stories that appeared to show the discord behind the scene, the president apparently hit the roof and he's, cold in the senior staff, if anybody blobs, leaks, you wil get canned. the last couple of months how many peoples mysteriously have gone out the door? >> that is in actually a good point and according to biden come i have to be honest, steve i was stunned he picked
5:26 am
kamala harris and not because of kamala harris' issues in the past with staffing but as you will remember and many of the viewers will as well, kamala harris went after joe biden and called him a racist. it effectively in one of the early campaigns. in fact, in the same book, steve joe biden's wife was quoted as saying something like "they were a million of people how we pick as vice president but how do we pick the person who called joe a racist? "and i have to tell you steve and you have been through this too, when your own wife is not happy with the decision you have made, that does not bode well for joe biden. but i respect trying to stand up for kamala harris even though she has been a disaster. >> steve: apparently she got the cover of "vogue" magazine. she apparently didn't like the picture. she didn't like the clothes that she was wearing. she didn't like the fact that she was wearing converse sneakers there but in winter,
5:27 am
they tried to chew her up and look i'm trying to make her more relatable. she wanted to be in a light blue suit or something like that. what kind of -- would they put a world leader in tennis shoes on the cover of "vogue" magazine? as much as we have heard about the discord behind the scene it doesn't sound like the vice president is happy how things are going either. >> steve come i don't know about you but you have to put the clothes on, right? if she was disappointed what anyone at vogue was suggesting, she could have not put on the outfit they wanted her to put on. and blame them after the fact when you've gotten your picture taken doesn't make sense. this is when you look at the viral moments she has had, this feels like me every single day. i hear her talking. it really is just like every single day. there has to be a lot of these moments. >> steve: no kidding. joining us from the home studio,
5:28 am
he could be wearing converse shoes right now, clay. >> hey come i don't even have shoes on right now. so if you pan down come i have shorts on and it's early morning. i have to get my kids to school. >> steve: you will go to school in sports coat and shorts? >> that is my look. that is my look. >> steve: you got to love it. >> hey, i'm driving through. >> steve: check it out to see what is clicking there. thank you very much clay. still on this wednesday can might need to strike actual gold to buy gas in the golden state. the insane high california is seeing at the pump with oil companies and what they are saying about the president. ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds.

5:33 am
nation. dan, joining us to sign that letter and here with us this morning. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. thank you for having us. >> ainsley: you are very frustrated with the president and the latest tweet was about this and said oil prices are decreasing and gas prices should too. oil gas should not be at the expense of hardworking americans. he said it was transitory, blaming putin and now your industry. how do you feel about that? rate, which is it? you can't blame putin ns at the same time, i guess the bottom line is we are not price makers, we are price takers. we suffer from low prices and then we have higher prices. that is based on the price of oil globally. demand has risen. we have had the price shock of ukraine and the price of oil. but we are not setting that
5:34 am
price. so, we would love to produce more in the united states and help to bring those prices down. >> ainsley: so they can come if you look at exxon numbers, they made a lot of money last year. the president will say they are patting their pockets. what they don't tell you the year before the pandemic, they lost almost there almost as much as they made last year. they are blaming oil companies. i'm sure your industry and i know you are referencing a small oil company. they are very frustrated. but what are you hearing from them? speak with the frustration my agree with kathleen, it starts with the administration. from the very beginning the president and the biden administration relentless assault on american oil and natural gas producers. now, the consequences of that year long assault are coming to fruition. increased regulations, taxes, and our members get frustrated with the administration jen psaki seem to say, now that
5:35 am
we are facing energy crisis, go out and produce like the snap of a finger. it is just not possible and as we face this relentless attack, we will have to do a lot of work. and you want to start a dialogue with the administration to address the challenges. >> ainsley: you wrote this letter but kathleen, what are the highlights of the letter what will it do? >> what is a complicated industry and we heard jen psaki talk about 9,000 permits we are not using. there are 4500 permits that they are sitting on. so as dan was saying, it takes time to ramp up production. we can do it quicker if we didn't have so many roadblocks in front of us from this administration. western energy alliance my organization in court defending 2200 leases, for example. there is that constant overregulation. there is trying to deny us access to capital.
5:36 am
a new regulation came out on monday that has the intention of defunding oil and natural gas. >> ainsley: dan, the president promised us when he was elected, he promised he would not raise taxes on anyone who made $4,000 or any family. poor families, middle-class families, wealthy families are all feeling that. it is hurting the poor middle-class families that cannot afford $6 in california. what is your response? >> you know again one of the keys to increase american production and the frustration that we have faced so many challenges coming from the biden administration so really what we need to do is have a dialogue. and as kathleen said is to reduce regulation. in addition, we need to do supply chain issues. the president is talk about supply chain for the last year saying we will get it and get it right. the small producers that we represent are facing those same
5:37 am
supply chain issues that american businesses all over the place. this deal, having trouble finding casey and even spare parts for drugs. so this is going to be a long-term issue that we need to address and part of that solution. that was the purpose of the letter to get into a dialogue with the administration and so far no interest in that conversation. >> ainsley: it doesn't make sense. we are taking money away from american families from the industry and making the prices go up, yet, talking about buying oil from iran and making iran richer and demands from opec. we don't understand it. we can afford to continue to see the prices go up here dan and kathleen thank you for coming on with us. >> thank you for the opportunity. >> ainsley: you're welcome. day three of confirmation hearing for judge kentanji brown jackson and senator mike lee will join us love after yesterday's testimony.sd

5:43 am
to pack the supreme court senator mike lee. senator, it's almost like taking a law class that i was unable to get into. so watching some of that yesterday, but unpacking the court, i thought that would be an easy question. why don't you think she wants to answer that question? speak of it is difficult to say. she gives us her answer and the fact she doesn't want to weigh in on critical issues. interestingly, this is an issue that affects the court and it is unique and affects the court but not something the court could have her address. it is what we call nonjudicial decision that would be decided by congress. and not by the courts. it reflects on her judicial philosophy, i think because her answer on that would tell us a little bit about how strongly she feels about the court's independence. it concerns me that she hasn't been willing to offer her opinion. she acknowledges that she has one but won't share it. >> brian: exactly. it has been a very respectful
5:44 am
hearing unlike the last couple where there was a parade, screaming protesters hold out and asked about blurbs and whether or not they liked beer. this is a completely different kind of show. >> yes, it is a very different kind of show, it is a quantified hearing. she ought to be able to answer that. it is an important issue in one of the reasons i wrote "saving nine" and it is very, very important that when someone attempts to pack the court, whether legislatively or not it leaves a mark. it leaves a mark and you have to be very, very careful with it. some of the group supported just jackson and whom she has aligned one way or another or another or else poking advocates in favor of it. and yet it is destructive to the constitutional fabric of the country. unique court packing while not
5:45 am
unconstitutional is counter constitutional and undermines it and not explicitly prohibited by it. >> ainsley: she is very respectful, educated, experienced, mother and married to a surgeon, who obviously helps people in a hospital. so there are a lot of wonderful traits bringing to the supreme court. what bothers to me is a mother to a young girl, the child pornography offenses and soft on those crimes. that is concerning to democrats and republicans come i would hope and independence. do you think she will get confirmed? >> we will see. the reason we hold these hearings is because we want to learn everything about her that we can before it's time to take a vote. we have a full day of questioning yesterday we will have another full day of questioning today and follow up on these and important issues. it is important. but child is among the most viable offenses known to human beings. and in light of that, we deserve
5:46 am
to get some answers regarding her pattern of -- it doesn't mean we are attacking her character. we are not. the fact that in the history of the republican, i don't think you can point to a single time republicans have used the politics of personal destruction on a supreme court nomination. unfortunately my can't think and count on one hand, it takes two hands at least that tactic has been deployed by democrats and the senate. >> brian: how close as she took getting thumbs up yes vote from mike lee? >> well, this hearing isn't over. so i have a full day of questioning left today and i still have more questions tomorrow to add to the various panel. i don't make these decisions until the hearing is complete. >> steve: the hearing starts for 2 minutes. senator, thank you so much for joining us. >> ainsley: thank you, senator. >> thank you. >> ainsley: another 13 hours
