west continues getting more involved. kevin corke in washington with the latest. >> more saber rattling and threats from russian leaders, even as president biden continues his efforts to keep not just the u.s. but other global communities squarely behind ukraine's government even as it faces withering assault from the russians. russia is obviously taking notice of that and in turn that could help to fuel moscow's latest barrage on kyiv. leaders warned that there is "more to come. here is mr. madge of medvedev. with the "political regime" oppose a constant direct and clear threat to russia. the first episode has been played. there will be others." president biden hoping to convince other g7 countries to stand in the gap behind kyiv's

to oblivion thinking it support for yesterday saying progressive element productive conversation, air defense is the number one quality and we also need new york leadership, with support for our resolution, that would be the resolution. biden's push comes against a backdrop of dire warnings that the kremlin could go nuclear if need be. "he's not joking when he talks about the potential use on tactical nuclear weapons or biological chemical weapons because his military is, you might say, significantly underperforming. we have not faced the prospect of army getting since kennedy and the cuban missile crisis. mr. pruden meanwhile desperate and defiant is facing the wrath of his own countrymen.

>> he's got a serious problem in his own tent, we are drawing on war stocks to meet the needs of what the ukrainians want. bottom line is i do not think putin can be sure of convincing somebody downrange to push the button. >> todd: the president of the uae will head down the russia to meet with his counterpart. there are some experts, carly and todd, believe they can defuse tension sparked by the ukraine war. all i can say about that is we of course we'll see. >> todd: >> carley: certainly will. won't hold your breath between diffusing tensions. what we saw was images we were seeing during the start of the war and let speak we are, russia has always targeted civilians but yesterday there were missile

strikes, all the way in the west near poland but we saw a lot of refugees going at the start of the war because they thought that area was safe. and the ukrainian staff reported that russia forces launched 84 cruise missiles and 14 drone attacks, carried out by iranian made drones, ukrainian air defense shot down 43 cruise missiles, ten of those drones and three unspecified drones. despite the fact we are now getting reports of a dozen people dead, hundreds injured, it could have been much worse, about half of those missiles were intercepted. but this is one of the reasons why zelenskyy is saying the number one thing that ukraine needs right now from the united states and western allies are air defense systems. it's their number one priority. >> todd: why is this happening? obvious reason part one is the

attack on the crimean bridge, retaliation to that. we very military experts across the board say the reason this is all happening right now is because putin is losing the strategic traditional portion of this war. he thought he would go in and win willy-nilly. he's not doing that. one of the experts who said that was rebecca koffler. we had her on yesterday. here's what else she had to say. listen. >> it's an existential battle for him and he's going to do everything possible, he's going to switch to a different strategy coming forward to make sure that ukraine does not enter the western orbit of influence. he's going to target exactly what he's targeting now, the civilian infrastructure with cyberattacks. space warfare operations. underwater strikes. >> todd: it makes sense that the conventional phase and it

worked out for him and of course one thing that follows from what dr. koffler said is the fear of nuclear reprisal. >> carley: you get to what the president said last week and just casually mentioned that we could be heading towards nuclear armageddon and the fall out for that comment is absolutely warranted. you think about what ukrainian soldiers are under and what zelenskyy is under right now and they hear that comment coming from the president of the united states and it can completely demoralize them to a certain extent. they have fought this war so bravely that i do not think anything can really take that away from them. certainly is a comment that zelensky would not want to hear from the president especially because it also emboldens putin. what i am doing is scaring the west. let me push even further. it depends on who you ask whether what the president said is actually accurate or not,

general jack keane seems to think that putin is going through a cost-benefit analysis right now and the cost of deploying a tactical nuclear weapon on the battlefield would be way too costly for his country. the wind blows towards russia, so why would you do that? it would push nato even closer to this war but on the other hand you have putin in this trap right now where he is losing support for the war, over a million people have fled russia already because of this draft. everybody is trying to get out of the country because they are realizing that they are in this losing battle. unfortunately this is a war that putin is not going to lose. so the concern is how far he's willing to go. he may lose it, but he doesn't want to. that's why we are seeing these escalatory steps right now with him pulling these missiles across ukraine. >> todd: obviously this war has major geopolitical implications and also has major

economic implications. major stock indices nose diving across the board for the down near down 100 points, the s&p down by nearly 30 pay the nasdaq hitting its lowest level since july 2020. jpmorgan top exact sounding the recession alarm with this troubling timeline. >> you can talk about this economy in the future and this is serious stuff. these are very serious things, they are unlikely to push the u.s. in the world. u.s. is already recession. >> todd: it's one thing when your run-of-the-mill economist says it's another thing when jamie dimon says it. other economists warning that continuing hikes could go too far in their efforts to bring down after the bank's third consecutive hike. the third largest railroad union threatening to strike after reaching -- rejecting a deal with class one freight

democrats in the 2020 campaign cycle. according to a new court filing, the fbi's foreign influence has fork chief and the head of the cyber division were "involved in the communications between the fbi and meta that led to facebook's suppression of the hunter biden laptop story." federal election commission records show they donated a total of $160 to democrats in 2020. the findings reviving long-standing concerns about political bias in the fbi's probe of hunter biden and how it may had affected the 2020 election. listen. >> the guys, just so you know, you should be on high alert, we saw there is a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have it on notice that basically there is about to be some kind of dump. similar to that, be vigilant. >> potential federal charges can

come any day now. pam bondi says a third party should be investigating the president's son. >> they have to have a special prosecutor and they are not getting up special prosecutor. legally that is an actual conflict. joe biden and his kids are no witnesses in any case against hunter biden. meanwhile former white house press secretary jen psaki downplaying how potential hunter charges can hurt democrats in the midterms claiming the hunter story barely made the local news. >> does dell make as much as there was so much news happening in washington, it doesn't translate and often doesn't translate to what voters are talking about and states. i think that's what we are seeing currently. >> federal prosecutors are weighing potential charges where the president's son but we are still awaiting a final decision by the trump appointed u.s. attorney.

going to survive this winter. oil, gas, electricity, medication, all that. you've got to buy your groc groceries. nothing promising looking ahead. >> todd: let's boil down some numbers. energy prices up nearly 24%, food prices up 11.4. new car prices over 10%, medical services up 5.6. i want to focus on energy for a moment. how worried are you people this winter will not be able to afford heat? >> i'm very worried. right now it's going to cost you $1200 to fill your oil tank and people are coming to me saying, where we've got to come up with that money. it's not just one time to fill your tank either. something has got to give. this is ridiculous.

oldest former flight team in the world, composed of five navy pilots and one marine corps pilot. so, so cool. >> ca>> carley: also this. at least one person calling for a blue angels band. one democrat in san francisco once the end the legendary squadrons fly over during fleet week in san francisco. self-proclaimed democratic socialist dean preston declaring "the blue angel should not be allowed to fly over san francisco. that's it. that's the tweet. retired captain eric doyle is a former blue angels committing officer in flight leader enjoys us now. good morning to you. what's your reaction to this tweet? >> good morning. things are having me. you know, i think you should come join us at fleet week and see some of his constituents. fleet week is one of the best airshows of the season. so many great people out there, they are excited. i do not think if they took a

vote on it that the bill would probably pass right now. >> carley: i agree with you. you also invited councilmember preston to visit the blue angels team and learn what your guys are all about. if he did that, what would he learn? >> carley: to take a note out of the mission statement for the blue angels, it's about to exercise service. that's what it's all about. it's not recruiting, its service but putting the needs of others before the needs of your own. that's what we hang our hat on. that's kind of what he's doing right now. he's serving his city, in his country, actually, a different way some of the service members in the military. it's all cut from the same cloth. i think come visit the team, come see what we do. come sit in. see make-a-wish every friday and see some of those kids every week at an air show and see

those young elementary school kids that are just all inspired to see the team and meet those folks. it's a really special event. we just asked people to think about service. your city, you are a community, even your country. maybe military. saying a rising tide lifts all boats? and what we do bring someone in the air force or the army, that's great. that's good for us. but do what you can do. >> we are looking at video you sent us of you flying one of these fighter jets. what is that experience like and what sort of qualities go to somebody who may want to be interested in doing this in the future? >> the blue angels, everybody comes from the fleet and will go back to the fleet and we spend e angels and we go back. it's commonly misunderstood that they think folks go there and spend 20 years with the blue

angels. they are all from the navy and marine corps. those are the soldiers -- excuse me, marines and sailors who come from the fleet. the blues are a window into your navy and marine corps that you get to see every weekend. they are an extraordinary group of people and that is your navy marine corps. almost 800,000 active duty enlisted reservists, civilians that are a part of your marine corps. it's an amazing military but it's an amazing team as well. >> carley: the planes are so close together. how are they not crashing? that is your job. your job is to also inspire and unfortunately there are fewer people now who want to join the military then really ever before. the army will miss its recruiting goal by 50,000, only 10% of the recruiting goal this fiscal year, why do you think we

are falling so far behind, captain doyle? >> it's hard to tell. at least my constituents in the pirate ranks, it comes and goes, it's up and down. i think we see that across all the services that they are up and down. we just need to get back to the basics. like i said, service. why are we here. put the needs of our country above those of ourselves. and if we stick to that, i think the numbers will c come back up. >> todd: amen to that. >> carley: something that might help the numbers come up is this big movie that came up over the summer. "top gun." have you seen an increased interest in the navy after that movie came out? >> i think there is for sure. it'll take a few months where you'll start to see effects of that. but the movie is wonderful. there is some former blue angels who flew as part of that movie and some of my other friends who were top gun structures that

it's all the real guys and girls from the navy marine corps flying in that movie and it's an exceptional movie. obviously, i'm sure most people have seen it, we are really proud of it. >> carley: i was reading that your call sign was popeye. what's the story there? >> i'd like to say it's my superhuman strength but it's from an early '70s movie the french connection. if you've seen gene hackman in that movie, his name is popeye doyle in the movie. my last name is doyle. normally a call sign is earned by doing something silly or stupid. usually there is good opportunities to do that when you operate on an aircraft carrier. i made it through enough time where i got popeye. so i really enjoy it. >> carley: we thank you for joining us this morning and we thank you for your service as well. we appreciate you. >> thank you. >> todd: i'm so glad you

mention the recruiting aspect bid the reason they do the air show is to get kids motivated, get them recruiting. i had an opportunity to fly with their cousins in the sky, the blue angels, it was part of a recruiting air show. it was one of the coolest things in my life that i never want to do again. speed to everybody gets sick the first time they fly. my call sign was puky-mc puky-mcpukerson. >> carley: i was asking captain doyle during the break, have you ever heard of anybody taking any issue with this and they say every now and then we get somebody from san francisco or seattle try to make a political point. but it's just an opinion that is definitely in the minority. >> todd: it should be nonpartisan. this is fun, this is america. meanwhile did you hear about this? planned parenthood facing outrage from clarence on social media after a cartoon encouraging your kids to take

co-owner of hickory rich farms and robin pierce president of bnr stores and jennifer owner of jj's balloons feeling the pain of holiday inflation. they're joining me now and thank you to being here. robin, let us start with pumpkins. for that regular pumpkin that i put on my stoop, how much more am i going to pay this holowean? >> for us, we only went up 10-cents a pound this year. we definitely are feeling an increase in bringing the pumpkin to the public as far as our cost is concerned. this year we went up 10-cent a pound. >> todd: are you saying you were able to avoid passing that ontos consumer?

>> yeah, they bring that i can pumpkin up and we put it on the scale. this year we were able to absorb some of the cost and seeing the increase over this year and when it came down to opening our farm and deciding on what our price was going to be, we chose to increase 10-cent per pound. >> todd: what are the drives that led to that increase? >> fertilizer is huge. we're definitely the cost we're seeing is about 70% increase on fertilizer cost. diesel fuel is a big deal. 70% increase in diesel this year and wages are up. we're feeling it. we're really thinking next year is where it'll settle in to be more significant cost increase for our customers. >> todd: that's not good. mark, how much more is co candy going to cost us? >> best selling candy item for
