1:02 am
russia could use -- weapons? >> it is a threat. >> todd: stop russian aggression from escalating further. >> end the use of chemical weapons would totally change the nature of the conflict. blatant violation of national law and have far-reaching consequences. >> todd: more sanctionss are expected to be announced today to put pressure on putin. lindsey graham wants stronger message being sent to moscow. >> if nato will tell putin with clarity, if you use chemical weapons we will establish a no fly zon. if you explode nuclear device inside ukraine, we will consider it an attack on nato itself. we need to tell china if you
1:03 am
help rubbing, it is at your own peril. >> griff: this is russia's latest step in bilateral relationship. now more than ever, it is critical our country have necessary personnel in place to facilitate xhungsz between our governments. as far as how this is playing at home, todd and carley, brand-new fox news poll show 82% of americans are concerned about the russian invasion and 53% saying the u.s. should be doing more to help ukraine. what we're watching for is president biden meeting with nato ally leaders, taking that photo and may hear from president biden and we'll bring it to you as soon as we get it. >> carley: thank you so much w. that, bring in kay bailey hutchison. so good to have you on. no better person to talk to on
1:04 am
day like today than you. could you talk about the importance of this moment and today? one of vladamir putin's objective was to divide nato and that is not happening. >> yes, carley, thank you for having me on this early show. absolutely. this is a time when the heads of state can get together and talk about not only what is being done, but what more can be done and also talk about the issue of china. i think that will come up and everyone knows that unity together talking to china will be certainly important to keep them from helping russia with this dreadful situation and i think they will be talking about what more we can do with arms and just shoring up our defenses and i think we've already seen
1:05 am
that secretary general has said we will be doubling the numbers of troops along the border russia that are nato allies. these things are very important for heads of state to talk together in person and getting a back and forth and i continuing is a very good thing. >> todd: we just heart griff mention it, this is arguably the most consequence foreign trip of joe biden's life. what does america and the world need to hear from joe biden? >> certainly strepth, the world and our nato allies need to see president biden say that we must stand together and i think he has done so much to bring the alliance together, but now there
1:06 am
are tough calls that have to be made and the u.s. of chemical biological nuclear weapons, there needs to be a united front and president biden will be the lead. one thing i can say absolutely, america is the leader of nato, europeans want us to leave, they expect us to lead and we do. we assess risk and deter against it. they are looking for that next step that we have to prepare for and they are looking for american leadership to do that. >> carley: one of the most significant things, volodymyr zelenskyy will be attending virtually. he has made so many pleas to leaders across the country and feels like having them all in one room together, this will be his final pitch to ask for more.
1:07 am
>> yes, i think the fact he is talking to them and i know his speeches have been so moving, every who has been in place with him making his pitch for the help, i think are very impressed and we all want to help more, they are standing for western value and democracy. for russia to in 2022, be obliterating a country that is a free democracy is something i don't think we ever imagined, even though of course we saw georgia, we saw crimea, nevertheless, this is worse than both of those -- >> todd: of course. >> we have to stand up. >> todd: former nato embassy,
1:08 am
kay bailey hutchison, we appreciate your time n. ukraine -- russian invasion began and ukrainians say the tide is turning as they push back russian troops surrounding kyiv. >> carley: jonathan hunt is live on the ground in lviv. >> jonathan: good morning to you. we enter week five thf ongoing and brutal war. russian forces appear to continue to suffer setbacks in some areas. we are getting reports this morning and seeing video of a russian naval ship on fire in the port of burrdanetwork sk, not far from mariupol issue the southern port city. you are not looking at the via we're talking about here, but there is video of the explosion onboard this ship, a landing ship. it covers ships.
1:09 am
what we are not clear on, whether the fire and explosion and it is very loud continued explosion are result of offensive action by ukrainian forces or there was some sort of fire onboard and explosion of ammunition on the ship. another setback for the russian forces who continue to be having to fight in the suburbs of kyiv against a ukrainian offensive. the ukrainians say they are taking back more and more territory around the capital city, although i think it seems we are talking about the making increment of several hundred yards at a needs to do more. listen here to president zelenskyy. >> russia is trying to defeat the freedom of all people in europe, of all the people in the
1:10 am
world, tries to show that only crude and cruel force matters. for example of crude and cruel force, look no further than the eastern city of kharkiv, which has been destroyed and continues to suffer intense shelling and mental bam bardment by russians and mariupol, where the unfold humanitarian catastrophe continues with something like 100,000 civilians still trapped there. talking of the setback the russian forces have faced, nato estimates that russian losses may be as high as 15,000 troops killed in the one month of this war so far. to put that in perspective, they lost 15,000 troops in total in
1:11 am
10 years in afghanistan, they may have lost the same in just one month in ukraine. todd and carley. >> carley: jonathan hunt live in lviv. -- received heartbreaking images of her decimated apartment building. parents left days befe destroying of the structure. >> todd: maria, do you know where your parents are and are they safe? >> yeah, they are safe for now and they are -- part of ukraine. >> carley: your parents were able to leave mariupol on march 17th, they were there for a majority of this one-month long war. did they have water and food while they were there and what was their journey out like? >> yeah, they shared food with
1:12 am
their neighbors and water and had to get technical water, you know, and they were searching for wells and like just tried to find anything, but actually it was -- constantly -- sometimes didn't have a chance to get water or food and they actually were asked to leave by soldiers because there was nothing left of mariupol there and soldiers just told that it is very hard to be there and they had to leave because there will not
1:13 am
help and they understood because russians surroundd and they even shoot something like humanitarian corridors, but there are no humanitarian corridors. people are so scared, they had to run through the bombs and shooting. that's not about humanity or even war, it is genocide. >> todd: horrific description by you maria, we wish you the best of luck. prayers with you and your family. thank you very much. china the only country on the un security council to vote with moscow acknowledging humanitarian crisis in ukraine. it called for more aid to ukraine, but because russia drafted this, failed to mention
1:14 am
russia's role in creating the crisis. the rest of the security council obstained from the vote. >> carley: we just heard from maria about her experience. there are so many people in the united states directly impacted by this war. i spoke with local ukrainian leaders inside it is ukraine museum in downtown manhattan, take a listen to what they had to say. >> the largest ukrainian population in the world outside of ukraine, so this war is impacting all of you. jason, how is it affecting you? >> i am frightened, concerned, angry, just wish this war would end. >> like a lot of people in this room, we are here becauseoir refugee forefathers came here, my father came from displaced person's camp. for us, it is all personal. >> we are surrounding by ukrainian art and artifacts, at
1:15 am
a time when vladamir putin wants to wipe the ukrainian culture off the map, beautiful cities that turned to ash and rubble, there is a widespread effort on the part of putin to destroy and deny the identity of the ukrainian people and cultural heritage is a testament to that identity and also a vector of peace for our collective future. >> one of the reasons why the museum really exists because ukrainians have been fighting to preserve the culture for generations. >> i think we're seeing exactly what is happening in the areas like mariupol in terms of how is putin going to try to control ukraine. he will not try to control ukrainians, he will drive them away, ship them away or bomb them away. >> carley: why do you think vladamir putin chose now to invade? >> he wants his place in the
1:16 am
history books. >> he underestimated the fact ukraine has a young president with no political experience and thought he could roll him over and he's been proven wrong. >> to add on that point, i think he underestimated new generation of ukrainians who have only grownup in independent ukraine. >> jason, what more do you think the united states should do? >> we're all brothers and sisters in this community f. one of your brothers was a serial killer, would you think taking away his credit card and cash would stop him from kill something he will continue killing. >> i don't think putin will be able to control ukraine. he may occupy ukraine, i don't think the ukrainians will allow him to control them or their land, i believe whether through insurgency, through help from europe and americans, the
1:17 am
ukrainians will prevail. >> carley: right. you can capture a city, how do you control the people that want nothing to do with you, they feel it is a matter of time before vladamir putin goes down, just depending how much suffering happens in the process. we have more of the interview this morning. you will want to steak around to hear about that. >> todd: and hearings with ketanji brown jackson yesterday. >> carley: a few heated moments among lawmakers themselves. ashley strohmier will join us with the details. good morning. >> ashley: today is last scheduled day of hearings for judge jackson, should she will not be attending. senators will hear from outside witnesses. they'll have five-minute opening statements and questions. things got heated between judge
1:18 am
jackson and ted cruz when he drilled her record. listen. >> you sentenced them to low sentences, why do you choose to do that? >> senators, no one can stand in for judge's entire sentencing record, i sentenced 100 people, you have eight or nine cases in that chart. >> ashley: when asked, jackson told cruz she would kuz herself based on ties to harvard. several republicans said they believe they will vote against her confirmation. democrats came to defense, getting in fiery arguments with republicans. >> if i had information you did something wrong, i promise you, i would share it with you, i
1:19 am
would not disclose last minute of the last day of the hearing. >> she had nothing to do with -- >> asking her how she may feel about what y'all did. >> carley: during democratic senator cory booker's speech. back to you guys. >> carley: we are awaiting president biden arrival to the emergency nato summit in less than an hour and expected to announce new round of sanctions in russia. >> carley: we have live morning coverage on "fox and friends first." don't miss a minute. introducic chevy silverado rst. the only ev truck that combines: 4-wheel steer a multi-flex midgate and up to a 400-mile range on a full charge

>> carley: we march toward the 2022 midterm house republicans are sharpening their message at this year's gop retreat. >> todd: determined to flip the house this november. in florida, speaking to party leaders, good morning, brooke singman. >> brooke: good morning. we have a front row seat at the conference and war in ukraine is the most pressing issue. i got exclusive interview with
1:25 am
michael mccall who warned cornered vladamir putin could put entire world at risk. >> the other thing i hope the president will raise are red lines with respect to weapons of mass destruction, mr. putin decides to use chemical weapons would be nightmare scenario. >> brooke: midterm is main focus at conference, gop sending strong message about plans if they retake the house majority. mccarthy telling me that republicans believe in peace through strength and believe this is opportunity to change the course of where america is today and make it stronger for the next -- other party leaders stress the need for a check on the biden administration.
1:26 am
>> enthusiasm is running high among conservative, brand-new fox news showing more interest in this year's election than democrats, which could give competitive edge. 31 house democrats not seeking re-election, we're off to the races with eight months out until election day. carley and todd. >> todd: brooke singman, thank you. biden administration lax border policy. apprehending 54 migrants new photos show four year old rescued by agents after human traffickers left her alona a riverbank. thank you for joining us this morning. our coverage today is all focused around ukraine, but is joe biden using ukraine
1:27 am
situation to ignore what is happening at the southern border? >> i want to say kudos to governor abbott and dps for stepping up. there is federal responsibility to secure the southern border and biden administration failed to address the crisis on the southern border. >> todd: these numbers aren't from last year or last month, this is last weekend in del rio sector. 2500 migrants, 50 unark companied kids, 27 smuggling attempts and 13 rescues. we hear about the humanitarian crisis in ukraine, isn't joe biden failure to follow the simple laws that we have in place causing humanitarian crisis right at our southern border? >> it absolutely is. biden administration can enforce
1:28 am
the laws on the books, they need to reinstate policies that broke. remain in mexico policy and give you a stat right now. look at last year's fiscal year '21, 50,000 apprehended in del rio alone. to date, they are at 150,000 apprehensions, biden administration disregarded people of texas and people of district 58 and we are frustrated. i feel bad for border agents, their hands are being held behind their back and they can't do their job. >> todd: jen psaki says biden could consider dropping title 42 next month, ability to move migrants away from the border
1:29 am
light of covid concern f. they know it will cause a border surge, why do it anyway? >> i have no idea and to be honest with you, if the biden administration decides to end title 22, that will make the situation on our southern border much worse. if the administration is saying the pandemic exists, so should title 42. if we have to wear a mask on an airplane, we need to keep title 42 in place f. they decide to end title 42, no plan in place right now, it is we are going to see conditions much worse on our southern border and the loss of life increase on the southern border. biden administration needs to do its job and put policy in place to protect the southern border and provide relief to barder patrol that want to secure the southern border. >> todd: walk and chew gum at the same time. ukraine important, but they have to focus at home, as well.
1:30 am
thank you very much. >> thank you. >> carley: turning to breaking news, president biden expected to arrive for the emergency nato summit any minute. the president will address world leaders and new round of sanctions against russia. we have live coverage out of brussels all morning long, stay with us. pound for pound, this one's still tougher... tough. tougher. tough. tougher. mahindra - the official tractor of tough and stewart-haas racing. i've got a race this weekend. i'll see you later. really been offered a beauty campaign when i was in my twenties or my thirties or my forties. it wasn't until

>> todd: united nations saying 1000 civilians have been killed in the war and the real toll could be higher. >> carley: calling putin the war criminal of the 21st century and her office is building a case against russia. she joins us now with her message to putin. good morning. yesterday the united states officially declared that russia has committed war crimes. what happens next and how do you
1:36 am

1:37 am
in our championship. that is why of course every case we look at this case as war crime. i see now i can speak about crime against humanity because when we see bump in hospitals, our schools, it is not only war crimes, it's crimes against humanity. what we now see in mariupol, our city hostage maybe in the near future, i will qualify as genocide. it is very, very grave crime and of course who is responsible for all of this? from the days of war, we have main case like case about aggression oppression for a generation. we have 186 -- it is a tough
1:38 am
military, commanders, agents and other people. minister of defense, head of russian intelligence, deputies, mps and speaker of parliament and so on and so on. but unfortunately, we have these people who have -- unity in ukraine. ukraine is country who respect rule of law and international convention, that is why we can't -- people who have immunity. >> todd: i got to jump in here, we're running out of time, you gave an ark mazing description of the individuals you are going after, the question is how difficult to get conviction in international court, we're hoping and you your folks in ukraine do the work that needs
1:39 am
to be done to make sure that comes to pass. iryna, vened, we appreciate your time. tributes for madelyn albright. tireless champion of democracy and human rights. president biden calling her a force for decency and freedom, she served under clinton administration. she was 84 years old. >> i spoke with ukrainian american leaders at ukrainian museum in downtown new york. they are worried for their safety and doing everything they can to help out here at home. watch this. >> first and foremost with the people who are enduring
1:40 am
unspeakable horrors, my thoughts are with my own family. i have a cousin just weeks away from giving birth. i hear stress and of course at her doctor's office which would normally be routine visit, she said it is full from women all over the country seeking health because they have been displaced from their homes. >> carley: who has family in ukraine, friends in ukraine or know peep whole have fled because of this war? call of you. >> i have only one cousin in the united states, my entire extended family is in ukraine. >> i have a cousin that i am in contact with, he needed medication, wife went to get it, shelves were bare. russians were bombing storage facilities for grain. >> i have employees i consider
1:41 am
extended family. they are sleep nothing subway tunnels, i have short-order cooks who have had dear friends they have grownup, fighting on the front line and not heard from them since the start of the war. >> carley: tell me about the ukrainian community here and how they are helping. >> we can help more than the government, not just fundraising happening, it is community organizations or volunteer are for a drive to packages to be sent to ukraine. >> carley: jason, you are owner of a ukrainian restaurant in new york city, how much have you raised so far? >> $75,000 from the sale of borsh, it is now a heritage dish. i thought it would be apropos to donate the funds sold through
1:42 am
borsh in-house take-out. >> we processed $12 million of donations from our members, the community, community organizations. when people see atrocities and see people being harmed and see bad being done to people, people's hearts open up. i see elderly people coming into the credit union, emptying retirement accounts because they say without freedom issue without my land, i have nothing to live for, my relatives need help. >> carley: how they feel the u.s. government has responded to the war, some viewpoints might surprise you. >> todd: we are awaiting president biden's arrival in brussels, expected any minute. looking live on the screen. uk prime minister boris johnson on the screen now. the white house formally accuse

vice president kamala harris reportedly snapped at president biden when he put her in charge of the southern border. that claimed in a new book, claiming harris corrected the president last april when he said she would do a great job handling gragz. she said, it is northern triangle, not immigration. >> todd: seems like things are going great there. members are keeping close eye on hunter biden business dealings, including art sales. congressman michael mccaul. it is believed the hunter biden case should be a slam dunk. >> this case, i wish i had it when i was a federal prosecutor, maybe the easiest case presented to the grand jury. if joe biden is receiving money
1:49 am
unlawfully that is money laundering, and should be presented to the grand jury. let them decide if it goes as high as it might go. >> todd: racketeering cases have been brought based on far less than what has been brought against the president's son. >> carley: judge ketanji brown jackson dodged question again yesterday when pressed by texas senator ted cruz. listen. >> under modern leftist, if i decide i'm a woman, then apparently i'm a woman. does that mean i have article three standing to challenge gender based restriction? >> you are asking me about who has the ability to bring lawsuits based on gender those kind of issues are working through the courts and i'm not
1:50 am
able to comment on them. >> todd: jimmy, how frightening it is for the future of america and our country if a supreme court nominee can't say what a woman is? >> jimmy: it is also frightening for the of music. they one wants to hear arethat say, you make me feel like a they. it is not good. think how far we've come and how quickly we've come there, this same democratic party during the brett kavanaugh hearings told us we have to believe all women. now they are telling us two hearings later they don't know what a woman is. this is absurd, she knows what a woman is. she doesn't call a biology to ask which restroom to
1:51 am
use, she is trying to placate the democratic party. that was embarrassing. >> carley: yeah, should be easy for her to answer that question because one of the reasons president biden chose her is because of her gender, because she is a woman. this is even gender has become political these days. we haven't talked about president biden's approval rating. approval for coronavirus is 50%, the highest other thanning the economy 38%, russia 38%, china 37. border security 37 and inflation 31%, not good numbers, jimmy. he didn't get that post-state of the union bump some people expected he would. >> jimmy: no, this whole biden presidency felt like we're sitting through a bad haircut and watching the haircut go
1:52 am
downhill. walk into a barber shop, i don't know about this guy, but you sit in his chair. that is the biden presidency, what is he doing to the border? this afghanistan thing is not good. what is go og with inflation. you get out of the chair, never going here again, that is where they are in the polls, no one will go here again. inflation is bad. i was watching wheel of fortune the other night, they couldn't solve the puzzle, no one could afford to buy a vowel. >> todd: yankee players playing from home and on the road, eric adams expected to lift the vaccination mandate for athletes. this is not the most unfair thing for middle class to go to work every single day, it is ridiculous it is hypocrisy here.
1:53 am
>> jimmy: it drives me crazy, as yankee fan, no excuse for not being vaccinated, so many extra needles from a-rod's locker from the old days. >> todd: looking live at president biden's motorcarkde as he arrives for the most important political summit of his career. >> carley: this is the most important one, he is expected to be greeted by nato secretary general stoltenberg. he will meet with g7 leaders and eushg leaders, world wind day of diplomacy for the president and tomorrow he will travel to warsaw, poland to meet with president duda to discuss the humanitarian crisis there.
1:54 am
>> todd: one key takeaway from today and this trip will be are we going to continue to hear words and platitudes from president biden and the other nato leaders or is action finally going to be taken? that action has a range of potential and doesn't necessarily need to be a no-fly zone. there are many things president biden, america and other world leaders can do to help the ukrainians, but so far we've heard a lot of talk. president zelenskyy and people of ukraine need action and need action now. today marks one month anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. >> carley: it is stun thanksgiving meet suggest happening at the one month anniversary. president biden getting out and heads into the building where this nato summit will take place, you just have to reflect on significance of this moment. there he is shaking hands with
1:55 am
the nato secretary general. one of president putin's main objectives in this war was to tear nato apart. he didn't think the countries would be able to stay aligned when you consider how important russian oil and gas and having all of the nato leaders coming together today to talk about the future of ukraine, strengthen existing sanctions, the president is expected to announce new sanctions on members of the russian government, as well as more military support, humanitarian support, as well. this is very significant moment. >> todd: we are here probably because of one man, volodymyr
1:56 am
zelenskyy. he is expected to speak to nato through video today and will ask in the video the audience provide effective support to ukraine, include anything weapons, any weapons the country needs to fend off the russian onslot. any time the president of the united states flies around the world to a war zone or war zone adjacent, it will make headlines, one of the key takeaways is whose speech is going to resonate more issue the leader of the free world in president joe biden or is it going to be the 44-year-old former comedic actor leading his country through the most horrific thing a country can go through. >> carley: that is right. we saw leaders speaking to reporters as they enter this room, this beautiful arena where this nato meeting will be taking
1:57 am
place in brussels, president biden chose not to, he will make a speech later. press conference expected time tbd, possibly 3 p.m. eastern time. you are right, todd, to bring up zelenskyy and the fact he has spoken to so many countries and done remote addresses. when he spoke to our own congress, he brought up images of 9/11 and pearl harbor and talked about times when our skies were under attack and said now ukrainian skies are under attack and he urged the u.s. and other countrys to close ukrainian air space. there is little appetite to do that in this country, it would mean we would be in direct conflict with russia. volodymyr zelenskyy will try to appeal with nato leaders all in the same room at the same time,
1:58 am
which really does feel like this will be his last ditch effort to get as much support for his country as possible. >> griff jenkins live from washington. what is interesting, comments made by senator lindsey graham with regard to nato involvement going forward. he said god forbid russia detonate nuclear weapon. that nuclear weapon and fallout is not necessarily confined just to the borders of ukraine. that nuclear fallout well could hit other countries issue including the nato countries and what then? does nato then have pretext to go and actually fight vladamir putin and the russians? that is key question that needs to be answered during today's summit during this week's experience overseas. if you read intelligence, there
