matt finn is live with more. >> matt: good morning and here in ukraine, president zelenskyy gave a speech and made a call for global control of russia nuclear weapons. one former defense intelligence agent says the call may have been reckless and provocative and will anger vladamir putin, who yesterday gave a concerning warning to any country that assists ukraine. >> if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events, they should know our retaliatory strikes will be lightning fast. we have things no one else can boast of having. >> matt: lloyd austin, u.s. secretary of defense, visited ukraine this week and called out russia saying the rhetoric is dangerous, but doesn't feel it

today. carley and todd. >> carley: the former marine trevor reid was released from a russian prison, what do you know about that? >> matt: timing of this exchange with russia is interesting because the country is at war and we know the former new mexico governor and u.s. ambassador traveled to moscow just one day before russia invaded ukraine. he made some negotiations resulting in the prisoner exchange yesterday. trevor reid was in prison for allegedly assaulting an officer, in exchange for a russian pilot locked up in the u.s. here is trevor reid's mother. >> we got a second phone call, he must have eaten and had fluids in him and he was his normal self. he still looks terrible, he sounded better and more like himself. we're excited. he's on a plane. it will hit us when we get to

the kremlin to launch barbaric attacks against ukraine citizens and cities. >> carley: the united states listen to this, losing $7 billion worth of military gear behind to the taliban as result of president biden's botched afghanistan withdrawal. the pentagon breakdown mandated by congress showed the u.s. abandoned 78 aircraft valued at $1 billion and 40,000 vehicles including humvees and air to ground ammunition, bombs, missiles and rockets issue the list goes on and on. much of the gear is in the hands of the taliban. there are no plans to return to afghanistan to retrieve or destroy it. >> todd: president biden claiming kids belong to teachers while they are in class. he took the opportunity to rip the republican toefrt empower moms and dads to have a say in

nations. it is paira mount the committee investigate national security vmcasion to hunter biden funding his father. the letter comes as daily mail reportss e-mails from 2019 to indicate president biden agreed to pay his son's business dealings with a chinese-controlled company. the white house maintains the president is and was in the dark. >> he's never spoken to his son about his business dealings, has he spoken to his son's business partners about his son's business dealings? >> press sect. psaki: nothing has changed, the president does not get involved in the business dealings of his son? >> even with his business partners? >> press sect. psaki: nothing changed from what i said yesterday. >> brooke: account face a subpoena next year. >> carley: how worried do you think joe biden is behind closed doors?

he can't run forever. >> todd: that is a loaded question, that calls into question his ability to wor bethings. to yore overall points, he should be nervous. despite the white house saying today is not thursday, it is thursday. the evidence is so aparent, you have e-mails. this individual eric schwerin wasn't going to the white house for tours, he was there for a purpose, multiple times throughout the intervening years and in 2016, he was there a boatload. >> carley: eight times. >> todd: joe biden cannot say i have no idea why this was happening. >> carley: one big concern by republicans isn't fact joe biden could have made money from foreign entities after he was

out of office, it is the fact if his son was making business deals with china, our adversary, could that affect decisions he's making today? that is one main concern about this whole thing. we call this the hunter biden scandal, it could be the joe biden scandal and i think it is wild that the biden administration is runing from this, everybody knows of course he had conversations not only did he have conversations with his son about his business dealings, he appears to have been heavily involved. when you hear about joe biden paying for legal fees when hunter was trying to strike a business deal with a company tied to the chinese communist party and going on air force two to china and ukraine and joe biden was paying for hunter biden chinese business partners or wrote a letter for a business partner's son to get into

college, it semiconductorss like it is family business and people are worry today is pay for play. >> todd: there is a line that says they are worried joe biden was indebted to countries not aligned with u.s. interest. that is chilling. obviously the country is china, call it what it is. they are not our friend. they are our adversary and the fact the president of the united states could be indebted in some way, shape or form to them is worrisome. they figured out what they need to do to overtake us, doesn't help to have the commander-in-chief in their pocket to the extent that is what is happening. >> carley: republicans retake it is house. >> todd: a lot of hearings. with that, elon musk says he will make sure twitter is politically neutral platform. we just found out 99% of employee donations at twitter went to democrats. >> carley: joe skwloe -- joe

concha is on deck next. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions, post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects

include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

>> carley: elon musk is taking twitter executives to task over bias and censorship on the platform. >> todd: marianne live from california to be specific with the details. marianne. >> marianne: elon musk says in order for twitter to restore public confidence, the platform has to allow free speech for all. he says for twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which means upsetting the far right and far left equally. there is a meme, tweeted by musk targeting twitter's top lawyer who defended banning tweets

deemed to spread misinformation. it is revealed 99% of political donations from twitter employees go to democrats, according to federal records, that leads republicans to form conclusions about left-wing bias. >> the wokers who run twitter are intol erant and believe kids should be able to change gender at recess. this is america, can you believe what you want, but they can't and shouldn't censor those on twitter who disagree with them. >> martha: republican politicians urging musk to do what he's done with other companies, move twitter out of california to a more tax-friendly state with lower cost of living. jacksonville, florida says the invitation is open, come on

elon. texas governor greg abbott says bring twitter to texas. acclaimed by the left leaning organization that the fcc can block musk's deal because of conflict with ownership in star link has been rejected by the agency's commissioner calling the idea absurd. >> todd: they will try everything to stop this. marianne, thank you. let us bring in joe concha. fox news contributor, joe, i love a good pie chart. this is less of a chart and more of a pie. 99% of twitter employee donations went to democrats, a whopping 505 went to republicans, i wonder why so many twitter employees were so dramatic when they learned twitter might welcome conservative crews following the news of musk's purchase?

>> this is surprising as my nets getting bounced from the playoffs again. silicon valley is liberal, look where it is, california. overwhelmingly young. this is not terribly surprising, but what it shows is the why. the why in this case is why are so many liberals getting upset that elon musk is taking over the free speech absolutists and levelling the playing field. why are we sey reaction like this? this is why, of course. now suddenly conservatives will have an eshg kwal voice as opposed to getting suppressed and censored and having accounts locked out and the play ground has gone away at twitter. if you look at donations from employees at google or facebook, you will see similar numbers like this, big tech over whelmingly unbiasd and that is why elon musk is a threat to

that. and elon musk is not like a conservative, right, who is he? he brought us the electric car, is suddenly the biggest threat to everybody. >> carley: speaking of threats, this story is unique, department of homeland security is setting up a disinformation board and what it will do, tackle misinformation within minority communities and the person in charge of it is ninajunkowitz. she said about elon musk, i shutter to think is free speech absolutists take over, we should view hunter biden's laptop as a trump campaign product. she was obviously wrong about that second one. a disinformation board? that is as distaupian as it sounds. >> yeah, biden disinformation

board is an oxymoron, that this exists, this is type of stuff north korean would invents. who is the ashtorof something like this when they represent one ideology and one political organization? that disinformation board should look do dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas, yesterday he testified he thinks administration is doing good job at the border or when jen psaki says it is the trump administration's fault because this is what we inherited, that is disinformation. if this administration is in charge of it, no one will take it seriously. no one trusts this administration anymore, if you look at the polls, carley and todd. >> todd: vice president harris has done 31 times as many interviews as president biden has since start of the year, hazard to guess as to why. >> 31 times?

that is a fascinating number, when you consider that i can't remember one notable interview kamala harris has done since january 1. that time she talked to 60 minutes, i don't remember that, she took questions from fox news, i don't remember that. if she is doing 31 times the interview and you can barely remember any interview this person has done, that tells you a lot. the bottom line, joe biden has not done an interview in terms of broadcast news for two months, in an election year when he is polling 33%. if he wants to sell his agenda going into november, you might want to get yourself out here more. that is the problem, it is a lose/lose situation, it is always clean up on aisle five and he didn't do interviews, wow, this is absency president, why isn't he selling his agenda? they will not win, i would think he would try and he's not at

this point. >> carley: joe, see you tomorrow. >> see you tomorrow, friday. >> carley: senior meteorologist janice dean is here with the fox weather forecast. >> janice: i will put a box outside my office, a lot of people don't like it is cold out. >> todd: it is cold. >> janice: i'm taking complaintss, i understand. i got pictures yesterday of snow in upstate new york. >> todd: i don't blame you. >> janice: thank you so much. yes, it is cold and temperatures below freezing, there is wind chill and it feels colder. frees advisories are in effect sweeping across the northeast and we'll remain cold over the next couple days, really not going anywhere and see potential for snow, area of low pressure off the coast. so main, especially higher elevations, get several inches more snow, it is crazy. not that crazy, but it is

annoying. next big storm system, area of low pressure moves into the plane states, we could see snow for higher elevations and ahead of that front, we'll see risk for severe storm, there is your risk today from the big bend of texas toward the plane states and parts of the rockies and on friday, we will see the ingredientss come together and potential for severe weather outbreak. watching fire danger across good chunk of the country, we'll see wildfire danger for parts of the southwest into texas as that storm system brings gusty winds and dry conditions. i'm sorry. >> carley: janice, no one blames you. who are you going to blame? >> janice: when it is nice out -- >> carley: there you go. exactly. janice, we always thank you. turn to this now. an idea has little to do with

their iphone. new yorkers, you so that, send me a feato and i'll be at that station. >> carley: paul digiacomo is here to react. paul, good morning, what is going on with the cell phones? >> good morning, the reality is this, that is a ridiculous statement, that phone is used as a lifeline for that police officer or that detective. there are dozens of alerts that come over their phone, missing persons, wanted people, accidents, fires. we are forced to look into that phone, part of our job today. >> carley: the mayor was a police officer, why would he make that comment? >> back when he was a police officer, they didn't have cell phones, it is intricate part of policing, the cell phones and we are getting information from them and it is something needed.

>> carley: hope somebody relays that information to him. overall crime has spiked 43% in new york city and the mayor did run on a platform of making streets safer. this is obviously something that takes time, i think a lot of people didn't expect crime to get worse with him as mayor, should he be doing something more? >> concentrating more on criminals than cops looking into their phones, as they should be. what needs to be done issue the police are doing their job. we've made over 2000 arrestss since the mayor has been in office with guns and made over 10,000 arrests regarding illegal firearms, what is fail suggest our justice system. there needs to be mandatory minimum of time spent in jail if you are caught with illegal firearm. that will cut down on violence in new york city. >> carley: without a doubts. you said police are doing their jobs, which they are, and they

are being targeted. christopher christopher wray talked about this over the week end about violence against police and police are dying one every five days. what is it like to be a police officer right now? >> it is a very, very difficult, difficult job. we've seen this before in the late '80's and early '90's. our justice system must work and right now it is not working. >> carley: paul digiacomo, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. >> carley: you're welcome. covid relief money being used to pay for critical race theory programs. you heard that right. complete student loan forgiveness back on the table. how much will this cost you? >> todd: cheryl casone is here income.

surprising. >> todd: how far do programs like this go to show the public, us cops, are on your side, there to help you, we are not the enemy. >> i think it is the most awesome opportunity to engage with our community outside of moments of crisis and to be able to connect with them in a unique way and serve in a different capacity than normal day-to-day activity. there is community outreach we do on a daily basis, right now times are hard for people and being able to meet resident needs and help them get through challenges and bring light and brightness to difficult times has been fantastic for us. coming out of trying times with law enforcement, this is just deepening our connections we have in our community. >> todd: this is a pattern from you guys, how will you top this one, this is pretty awesome. $100 for food during inflationary period, that is

the two words that stuck from yesterday's hearing on capitol hill with dhs secretary allen degree mayorkas. alalejandro mayorkas. >> we inherited a broken system. it is not built to handle the types offing my i can't tore flows. only congress can. we. >> later this morning round 2 for mayorkas and his explanations for the current state of affairs for the southern border. among other things he is being called ton explain a decision by the biden administration to lift title 42 pandemic restrictions at the border next month. now, that's now on hold by a federal judge but mayorkas admits it will create a new surge of illegal immigration. >> my god, man, own the moment. you have been called upon to resign by myself and others.

next year, if we have the majority in this committee, which we shall, you are still in office, you will face impeachment. >> deportations plummeted while illegal immigration skyrocketed. and that's only possible because secretary mayorkas decided not to enforce the law. i vow to you we will use our oversight power to investigate secretary mayorkas' disregard for federal law. >> mayorkas meantime is talking about a surge of his own, sending a slew of additional federal workers to the border to deal with the crisis. he was also asked to explain the president's decision to end border wall construction of cost taxpayer some $72 million. todd and carley? >> todd: doug la varied, thank you. jems was at the hearing jed.

you heard him use that phrase effectively managed. in what bizarre world have they effectively managed our border? i don't think in bizarre world they have managed the board. complete disaster. people we know trying to cross the border in march. one of the largest numbers in history. then there are those that we know have escaped and then the ones we don't even know about. so, they are expecting an even greater surge to come after the end of title 42 probably closer than 5 million people. bigger than the population of wisconsin. you need to take a look at that that's more than over 30 states, the population of over 30 states are going to be rushing into the united states. it's all due to the incompetence of secretary mayorkas and the

policies of president biden. >> carley: are you going to take congressional reaction on this? there are about 50 republicans want to keep title 42 in place. why not take a vote on it? >> yeah. we would love to. but that's up to the democrat majority to put it on and get it to a vote i know there has been a number of democrats that have asked for the extension of title 42. as far as i know we are not taking a vote on it. that's up to the speaker of the house, you know, nancy pelosi. today we are going to take a vote. i believe on enhancing aid to ukraine. i haven't heard us taking a vote on cittle 42. >> todd: this argument that congress needs to fix immigration. i think it's a valid argument in general. self-imposed by the biden administration. as we pointed out multiple times this wasn't happening prior to joe biden taking the oath of office in january of 2021.
