in moscow about putin's leadership team. what is happening on the ground in russia to civilians. thanks for inviting us into your home. the "special report," fair and balanced and still unafraid. jesse watters prime-time with a couple of seconds extra. >> jesse: i am not giving them back. thanks, bret. vladimir putin must have flunked history class. if he paid attention instead of daydreaming about whatever russian boys dream about. he would have learned about guerilla warfare. ukrainians will die before they lose everything they own. how can he overcome that

resistance? the ukrainians know the cities they are protecting and recognizes which streets can be used as pinch points. they understand the terrain. they know the swamps and the tree lines forcing the invaders into compromised position. sounds similar to something we might know a thing or two about in the united states. like when the colonial army fought off the british in the revolutionary war. england was unable to defeat a bunch of farmers. america used guerilla warfare. the colonial militia men limited casualties and for their freedom

and land against an occupying force. it was a recipe for victory. this trend continued time and time again. just look at vietnam. the viet cong with stood a pounding from the united states military in the 1960s and '70s especially from the air. we ran into a highly motivated enemy who used the jungles of asa hutchinson -- of asia to their advantage. it's hard to defeat an enemy you can't see. that was only half the battle. the viet cong set up traps and tunnels to ambush american traps. we left knowing we could have done more but wondering if it was enough to win. the soviets faced another proxy war after vietnam.

soviet troops invaded afghanistan to support communist puppets in kabul. the afghans did not go down a fight. rebels stood up to them with u.s. backing. they fought off the soviets for a decade and retreated back to russia with their tail between their legs. the opportunity to defend off an invasion from a stronger military is the same. so far, the ukrainian resistance is following that blueprint. nato is reporting that as many as 15,000 russians have already been kilts. more than twice the number of american casualties in iraq and afghanistan combined.led. more than twice the number of american casualties in iraq and afghanistan combined. russia has been unable to

capture the capital of kyiv. running into intense fire fights like this. >> [gunfire]. >> [shouting]. >> [gunfire]. >> [shouting]. >> ala! >> [gunfire]. >> [shouting]. >> [gunfire]. >> [shouting]. >> jesse: that battle took place on a rail line on the out skirts of kyiv and one of many scenes across the country. these men are anti-russia fighters so you heard a few guys shout ala. putin hating soldiers are pouring into ukraine to take

a shot at the russians who terrorized their state. in 2003 the u.n. destroyed it the most destroyed citizen on earth. this is the type of terror the russian are capable of but so far unable to penetrate ukrainians insurgents. ukraine's resist not is not slowing down. it's the opposite want they are retaking towns they had previously lost. the city 30 miles west of kyiv fell into russian hands until today. it was a target for the russians. chalk this up to another set back for moscow's failure.

let this be a lesson: don't doze off in history class. kirk is a retired u.s. navy commander. i am being too optimistic here? it looks like these guys are moving and shaking and hitting supply lines. they have not been able to do what they were supposed to against the capital. >> well, clearly the effort by the russians has stalled. the russians may be pleading out -- bleeding out but the ukrainians have suffered casualties. the u.s. and european allies needs to get more lethal equipment into ukraine with better ranges to give them the ability to take out more russians at greater distances.

that video was awesome. it showed it doesn't matter what your religion is, those are ukrainians fighting for freedom and should make everybody proud. >> jesse: do you see similar strategy deployed against the russians as in afghanistan or vietnam? >> absolutely. they are taking advantage of the terrain and playing on the home turf and using it to their advantage. one thing the united states did is leaking the intelligence we knew the invasion was coming caused putin to hesitate from 7 to 10 days. in doing that, it's called the spring thaw. you can see that happening time and again. tanks get stuck. convoys have to go off road and don't function. they are making them get bogged down in the spring mud. that's providing a target rich environment for the ukrainians

taking every advantage they did. but they are losing forces we need more lethal weapons to nail the russians and push them back. >> jesse: is there a chance that not a stalemate in a couple of weeks? a chance that the ukrainians can repel russian forces back? >> it's a possibility. i will be the optimist for one ever these days and say, yes, we could see that. but it's going to take a lot more lethal weapons get to the ukrainians and quicker. the last thing we want to have is europe grow bored of this conflict and they want to get back to normal. we are flowing thousands of our troops and equipment into europe. yet not one european nation today belonging to nato

mobilized their military to prepare for the threat. how dedicated are they to see russia get pushed out of ukraine and do it quickly? >> jesse: thank you very much. the emails and the hair pulling and the teeth and the cracked pipes. they are all real. will hunter go down? that's next. when you're driving a lincoln, stress seems to evaporate into thin air. which leaves us to wonder, where does it go? does it shoot off like a rocket? or float off into the clouds? daddy! or maybe it takes on a life all its own. perhaps you'll come up with your own theory of where the stress goes. behind the wheel of a lincoln is a mighty fine place to start.

i think the "new york times" know it's going to be embarrassed. it was parts of the biggest political cover-up before an election to manipulate an election in american history by hiding information about a massive corruption scandalal. it doesn't have a choice because i think there is going to be an indictment. they realize it's one thing to hide a story that appeared in the "new york post" and it was verified. it's another thing to pretend court documents are fake and indictments are fake. you can't do that and simultaneously claim with a straight face you are a journalism entity. you and i knew this was real a year and a half ago. we had the laptop. we had the receipts. i keep the receipt on my desk. there is a copyright there. that's hunter's circuit with his

he did not. is hunter biden the sacrificial lamb and take a plea deal with jail time to protect his father? >> jesse: what could sentences could hunter get. let's turn to former u.s. attorney brad. you have seen it. what are we looking at here? >> i wish i had this case as a federal prosecutor. the easiest case i presented to the grand jury. whether it's the crack cocaine looking at years in federal prison. he can think his father for some of the sentencing enhancements on crack cocaine. it will be based on money in the federal system. you do it based on the amount of money in question. here it's million dollars. >> jesse: if they catch him with

the money laundering charge and the federal statutes require 20 years for this amount and 30 years for this amount, pleaing down is not easy either. you are pleaing down from 2 to 3 decades, right? >> yes, if the federal system there is little wiggle room. you charge the highest provable offensive. even if they want a plea deal it will still carry significant penalties and dollar there is no parole. >> jesse: does joe biden have exposure in dirty foreign money is funneled to joe biden and he not claiming it and not paying taxes on it? >> we have seen in this country cases of racketeering brought

the hawkins case. a defendant had graphic videos of little boys, 11 years old and 10 years old and young as 8 years old being violently sexually assaulted by adult males. that gave that defendant a slap on the wrist of 3 months in jail. the guidelines provided for 10 years. the prosecutors wanted a long sentence and she gave that defendant 3 months. she had no explanation as to why. the democrats got up set. how dare you focus on her actual record isn't american people are concerned whether they will have a supreme court justice that will follow the law or we will have a supreme court justice that is looking for loopholes to let violent criminals out of jail. her answers and record were really concerning. >> jesse: are you going to vote for her? >> no. >> jesse: do you think a lot of your republican colleagues will

vote for her? >> i don't know. i think the majority of republicans will vote against her. her record is far out of the mainstream. you may see a couple of republicans vote for her. listen it's an historic nomination. she would be the first african-american woman on the court. that's an inspirational thing. but our responsibility is advise and consent. we ought to demand a justice to defend our constitutional rights. there is no indication she would do that. >> jesse: the first black woman on the court but doesn't know the definition of a woman. wait until you hear this. kamala harris wants everybody to stand when she enters a room.
