>> greg: we're out of time. thanks to our guests along with our studio audience. fox news @ night with trace gallagher next. >> trace: welcome to america's late news. "fox news @ night." i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. breaking tonight, twitter's top lawyer, a familiar figure in the trump russia investigation is now out of a job, but what did he leave behind? and just hours after president biden dismissed the border crisis, a border agent was killed in a high-speed chase with illegal migrants. plus, actress jennifer

lawrence says her hunger games character was the first female action hero. the night cap crew has news for j-law. we begin with james baker who went from russianclusion to the twitter files and is now out of a job. kevin corke is live for us in the nation's capital with more. good evening, kevin. >> kevin: a major plot twist in the twitter shakeup after elon musk announces the firing of the company's top lawyer. that lawyer a familiar face and name in the trump russianclusion -- collusion probe. he was ultimately forced out of his role at the d.o.j. according to congressional transcripts released by house republicans, he came under criminal investigation for claims he leaked to the media. all this was before he landed a job at twitter as its general counsel. >> he goes to twitter and he's the guy who helps suppress the

hunter biden story and says, oh, it's reasonable to assume hunter biden laptop was a hacker leak operation when everyone knew it wasn't. >> kevin: matt, the independent journalist and substack writer who first published the twitter files says baker had his hands on the document before they went public without elon musk's knowledge. and after he released the initial batch, things got, "complicated." he added over the weekend, "while we both dealt with obstacles to new searches, it was very wise that the person who discovered who was in charge of releasing the files was someone named jim." when she called to ask jim's last name, the answer came back baker, and the plot thickens. in the meantime, over at the white house, still no answers on how the biden campaign may or may not have coordinated with twitter. >> of course, it's up to these companies to make their own

decisions about the content on their platforms and to ensure content follows their own standards and policies, but i'm just not going to comment on a decision that was made during the campaign. >> kevin: more to come on that. in the meantime, tonight, we're awaiting a long form report from barry weis about twitter's decision-making about the hunter biden laptop story. of course, we saw a lot about that from the "new york post" but we want to know what happened with respect to twitter. now, this is all happening as the incoming house oversight chairman james comber says he wants to hear from all twitter employees, past and present. he wants them to testify about censorship claims perhaps as early as next month which should make for a great january here in washington. >> trace: yeah, kevin. we're going to dig a little dipper into jim being jim baker. kevin corke live in d.c. thank you. tom fenton, always great to have you on! i know in the runup to the 2020 election, the f.b.i. was

briefing social media companies every single week. everyone's asking why were they doing that? andy mccarthy says in the national review that twitter files missed the real scandal f.b.i. interference in the 2020 election going on saying, quoting, the f.b.i. wasn't in a position to order the companies to suppression information. it was, however, well positioned to make them fear that the failure to suppress information it might appear as dodgy could be perceived as serious legal consequences. he's saying the f.b.i. was planting seeds before the "new york post" story was released, tom. >> the deep state had their man in twitter, james baker. so you had the f.b.i. reaping the top former f.b.i. lawyer who was a top lawyer at twitter at the time on these very issues, and, of course, you know, baker is infamous for running this anti-trump -- or helping run this anti-trump

operation at the f.b.i. that involves shady pfizer warrants and remember he had the meeting with hillary clinton's top campaign lawyer who supposedly didn't tell him that the hillary campaign wanted the f.b.i. to pursue this fake claim that russia was colluding with trump through bank -- secret bank servers and such so baker, it turns out, was a part of the deep state and still operating as a deep state at twitter, because you have, you know, the reporters suggesting he was withholding information and then separately, you had musk himself talk about information that had been withheld from the previous owner, jack dorsey, the previous c.e.o., and maybe that information had been deleted. i don't know who's involved in that but he needs to do an audit of the system there at twitter and get all of these documents out as quickly as possible. >> trace: we don't know -- that's the whole thing. inside the company, you have james baker, right? he's saying he doesn't know if

it's a russian hack. it could be. it might not be but you have to proceed with caution meaning we have to hold this whole thing up. on the outside, you have the 51 intel officials writing up a letter saying, boy, it sure looks like it's got all the hallmarks of russian disinformation but really we're not sure. for safety, let's just hold this up. that's the whole thing. let's hold this up for a few days, get this election going and we can move on. >> you know, isn't it convenient all this decision-making always comes down one way or the other? it comes down either on behalf of hillary or against trump or in the case of 2020, to help biden and against trump. i'll tell you, this is campaign intervention in a dramatic way and you have this unique guy, james baker, who was involved in a government scandal and it looks like a corporate scandal and a political scandal when he was over at twitter. >> trace: yeah, when when they release all the documents, it's going to be fascinating to see what barry

weis and matt taibi comes up with. there could be a lot more out there. when it comes out, we'll bring you back, tom fenton, thank you. >> thank you. >> trace: a border patrol agent earlier today was killed in a high-speed pursuit of migrants crossing into texas. matt finn is live with that story. good evening. >> reporter: good evening, trace. the 38-year-old border patrol agent this morning was killed when he crashed his atv while pursuing that group of illegal migrants who crossed the border near mission, texas. fox's bill melugin reports sources say the unidentified agent was a father of two. the united states border patrol chief writing the death of an agent who dies while securing our nation's border is a tremendous loss for our organization and our nation. our prayers are with his family and co-workers during this difficult time period. this tragic death comes just one day after president biden went to arizona but chose not to visit the border telling fox news he has other

priorities. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there are more important things going on. they're going to invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> reporter: the president referencing a phoenix chip factory he visited but biden was roasted by the national border patrol union for not going to arizona's border tweeting, visiting an ice cream shop very important. visiting our border where illegal immigration, deaths, escapes and fentanyl something youles set new records nonstop with thousands dying as a result not important. on my last trip to the border, the democratic mayor of eagle pass, texas, pleaded with us for the president to visit her town where is the epicenter of the migration flow into the united states. >> matt finn, thank you. >> do you think it's important for president biden to go to the border for himself? >> i think it's important for the administration to recognize it's a crisis.

we all know it's a crisis. i've been clear about that, and so when you have a crisis in your country, you should be able to. [indiscernible] >> do you think he should go to the border? he only did a drive-by. he's never physically been to the border? >> he and vice president, senior leaders... absolutely. >> do you think there's value to the president going? >> i think there's value to the president going every everywhere. >> thank you. >> trace: yeah, the border crisis now at a level where even democrats that live nowhere near the border admit the president should have gone there. let's bring in democratic strategy kevin walling and former gubernatorial candidate larry elder. gentlemen, thank you, both, for coming on. larry, i know the president's busy, right? he says he's got bigger fish to fry. more important things to do but u know, since he's been in office, 41 customs and border patrol agents have died, some by suicide, thousands, thousands have died because of fentanyl and millions have illegally crossed. you would think the president would take that into consideration?

>> you would think so. i interviewed a special retired border patrol agent just today, and he said the number of illegal aliens into the country since the biden administration is probably closer to five million. this is just absolutely, completely, totally outrageous, and i still can't quite figure out what the rationale is. i used to think it was that he wanted ultimately millions of illegal aliens to turn citizens to turn voters and they vote democrat. i then thought perhaps he was reversing everything that donald trump did because donald trump was a racist. i can't figure out what the rationale is i can't understand why more people aren't outraged. i often watch bill melugin's reports in the morning. i switch over to rival cable channels to see if they're covering it. they don't know. they're not covering it. i think a lot of americans have completely no idea what's going on with our border. >> the two top stories tonight you'll never see on cnn and msnbc and it's a very good question because i thought the same thing, kevin. i thought he's just reversing

whatever president trump did. he's shutting down the keystone pipeline. he's shutting down the border wall it doesn't look like that anymore. here's a democrat and two republicans talking about border agents, and i'll get your response. >> border security is not ahcan or a democratic -- a republican or a democratic issue, it's an issue that affects all americans. >> aboondoned, those are the -- abandoned, those are the exact words so many border patrol agents have talked to me about. >> there's no doubt what is happening at the border is impacting our agents. and you just -- the numbers speak for itself. the fact that 14, customs and border patrol agents have committed suicide. something is wrong. >> trace: he's right, kevin, something is wrong! ier thoughts on this -- your thoughts on this? >> trace, i've been very up front with you and others on fox as a democrat. i believe this is a crisis at our border. i think what you need to do is look at what the president is actually doing. he's rolling up his sleeves. we've hired hundreds of more

border patrol agents this past year alone. in his budget request, he asked for $5 billion more. he got $1.5 billion from mexico for additional security. i'm with congresswoman cuellar who you just played where he says we need republicans and democrats to come together on this issue. i'm hopeful with a democratic senate and a republican house that we might be able to revisit some of the priorities from the 2013 comprehensive bipartisan immigration bill. let's resurrect that going forward and let's just not point fingers. let's actually work on solutions across party lines on this issue but it is a crisis, trace. >> trace: henry cuellar has been down there. democrat, republican, independent, whatever they are, his constituents are saying this is crazy no one is doing anything about it. i want to move on, if i can, to the so-called racist voting laws in georgia which saw the highest turnout. here is korean john pierre when asked about the voter turn outs. she said this.

watch. >> the president called it jim crow in the 21st century and a blatant attack on the substitution. does -- constitution. does he still see it that way? >> there was suppression. we saw that throughout the georgia election, so that is something that was reported on. i leave it to those reports. >> trace: no one was not allowed to vote, larry. they took the all-star game out of atlanta. the companies boycotted georgia. this was shameful on behalf of the woke part of this story. >> that's right. you had joe biden saying it was worse than jim crow. it's jim eagle. my dad is from georgia. born and raised from georgia, 1915 when jim crow was jim crow. how insulting was it to talk about this being worse than jim crow? it's jim eagle. the last is always talking about how systemically racist america is we just had a place in georgia, a former slave state in the deep south where a black democrat ran against a black republican. my goodness and nothing has

changed in america! come on! knock it off! >> trace: it is, rafael warnock says lines were very long. the lines were really long but yet no complaints about anyone not being able to vote. your final thoughts? >> well, listen, i think it's a great thing when you see a record smashed, 3.5 million georgians went to the polls in the runoff election securing that democratic majority for rafael warnock. you saw republicans over the last four years trying to restrict the early days of voting and shorten the runoff period. we had to sue to get the saturday of early voting on the books in a lot of those counties so it's a good outcome i think when you see anyone turning out in those kinds of numbers. it was a good night obviously for democrats in the state of georgia. >> trace: yeah, kevin. larry? >> they made it easier to vote and harder to cheat. they going to give back the $100 million or so that atlanta lost because of the all-star game being moved to colorado? an apology?

they were saying black people were too stupid to figure out how to vote. insulting. >> trace: thank you for coming on, gentlemen. a retail survey finds americans are feeling the pain of inflation as we move into the holiday season. in fact, we're there. ashley strohmier live for us in new york with a closer look. ashley, doesn't look like a relief is coming. >> it doesn't, trace. good evening to you, first off. it is interesting to see some of these reports saying inflation is easing but the consumers not are just aren't buying it. with christmas right around the corner, people are having to tighten their spending habits with everyday necessities like their groceries. a new report says 2/3 of consumers are having a hard time paying their food bill and have altered the way that they spend in the past year. now, nearly 60% say they have budgeted for their holiday meals. half the people who were surveyed say they are now shopping based on discounts and promotions. only 17% of the people who participated in this survey

said share shopping -- their shopping habits haven't changed. with kroger and albertsons recent news of the $45 billion merger, these types of consolidations of giant supermarkets will only force prices to go even higher and if the higher prices aren't bad enough, the threat of a food shortage is still looming. that's according to the national black farmer's association president john boyd. he's been predicting since july if the administration, the biden administration doesn't intervene, it'll be very common to see the grocery shelves empty, especially now that fuel and fertilizer costs are really sky rocketing. food shortages may not be the only thing we're in store for as there's a possible lack of medicine due to the increase of illness like the flu and rsv right now, trace. >> very true. we'll see you in a bit. thank you. well, the fox news @ night commonsense department points out along with record inflation pushing up prices, there's also record crime

including shoplifting and organized retail gangs costing companies like target, walmart, cvs and others billions in profits. retail theft in 2021 was up 26.5% from 2020. we're still waiting on 2022 numbers but commonsense is expecting another significant jump. and it won't include unreported theft. remember, retailers often don't report crimes because police won't show up. police won't show up because d.a.'s won't prosecute and because d.a.'s won't prosecute, criminals get to keep on stealing. i say "criminals" except blue states would rather we say misunderstood victims, although it seems to me these thieves -- sorry, victims understand very much how they could get stolen goods on the internet and sell them and the prosecutors and politicians who are against putting these "misunderstood" people behind bars are the same ones who keep telling us crime is not getting worse. it just "seems" worse, they say.

commonsense thinks maybe it's our lying eyes that are misunderstood. on that note, first up in tonight's crime round-up, police in tennessee broke up a robbery in progress at a mall. the criminals smashed in glass cases to get the jewelry and one suspect wrestled with an officer and tried to grab his gun. police arrested four of the robbers. one remains at large. at a philadelphia mini mart a robber pulled a gun and demanded money from the cash register but an employee saw it unfold and fired first. turns out that mini mart was the final stop on a violent multi-county crime spree. the robber didn't die but he is in custody on $1 million bail. brand-new video shows a disturbing scene unfolding in philadelphia. 2:00 in the morning, a suspect gets into an argument with a 33-year-old man, then got into his car, ran the man over and dragged him. the assault broke the victim's leg. the d.o.j. ripped the federal

bureau of prisons today overseerious failures that allowed inmates to plungein notorious mob boss james whitey bulger to death only 12 hours after being transferred to a naperiesnon 5018. the d.o.j. inspector said, quoting here, no b.o.p. inmates transfer, whether a notorious offender or nonviolent offender should be handled like bulger's transfer was handled in this instance. in fresno, california, porch pirates playing the grinch. they went to the house and grabbed the package off the porch and sped off. the owner says while items could be replaced, it definitely hurts to see people walk up and grab $100. the san francisco board of supervisors have backtracked after backlash to their decision allowing police to use robots armed with lethal force. eight of 11 supervisors voted

to send the proposal back to the committee for debate. watch. >> i do not think removing the immediacy in humanity of taking a life and putting it behind a remote control is a reasonable step. conceivably, we would attach an explosive to one of these robots and send it in. that's not how the robots would generally be used. it would only be in kind of this worst-case scenario. >> trace: the san francisco police chief argued lethal robots would be used to save lives, not take them and as a last resort to avoid sending an officer on a suicide mission. oregon's largest teachers' union admits it's on the throws of a membership crisis. are woke policies to blame? and would jennifer lawrence -- and what jennifer lawrence said about female action heroes that has a lot of people talking. staying around. we'll let you in -- stick around. we'll let you in on thea . despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch.

>> trace: internal documents reveal woke progressive policies shaping what oregon students are being taught in school has contributed to an exodus from the beaver state's teachers' union. american federation for children senior fellow corey deangelis joining us now. one in five teachers in oregon are fleeing from unions. the oregon education association handbook page 105 says the following, quoting here, the cabinet is updated on locals that are experiencing downward trends in membership and locals that are in a membership crisis. we are made aware of plans to support these locals, plans of membership drives within these locals and plans to connect with active members as well as potential members in local associations. that all means they are scrambling up in oregon. corey? >> yeah, this is a membership crisis of their own making. look, if you play stupid games,

you should expect to win stupid prizes. ever since the 2018 janis supreme court decision, now it's no longer legal for government unions to compel members to pay membership dues because it infringes upon their first amendment rights. since then, just a few years, the oregon teachers' union lost 1 in every 5 members. this is a mass exodus. it's partially because the unions are so concerned about winning and scoring political points more than they're concerned about actually representing their members. if you look at the union policies that they push for, per-pupil education expenditures nationwide vin creased about 152% after adjusting for inflation since 1970 but teachers' salaries only went up 8% in real terms. the unions are just pushing for political points and pushing for more people in the buildings but that means less money for the teachers that are doing a good job in the system. teachers' unions are bad for families but they're also bad for teachers, too, and some

teachers are waking up. >> trace: you wrote in the "wall street journal" here, even democrats are adapting to real political realities. it's clear for both parties it's becoming politically profitable to support education freedom. that's because parents have woken up far too long in k-12 education. the only groups that demanded attention were unions representing the employees in the system. now the kids have a union of their own. their parents. are we about to see more options, especially for kids in failing schools, corey? >> yeah, look, there wasn't a red wave. there wasn't a blue wave but there was a school choice wave. 76% of the candidates supported by my organization, the american federation for children, won their races in the midterms. if you look at the liberal tiers in the atlantic magazine, the author said education freedom advocates fared depressingly well in the midterm. you know what? they could cry harder. although it's bad news for socialist who has want to control other people's kids, it's great news for families who

want to have more of a say in their own kids' education. we even have some democrats supporting education freedom now. josh shapiro flipped his education stance in pennsylvania a couple of months before election day. he's probably reading the tea leaves. maybe had a change of heart but it doesn't matter. what matters is families are winning in the end because it's profitable to support them. >> you look at reading levels and math levels at 40-year lows. how could anyone who cares about the kids of this nation saying we're doing something wrong? your final thoughts on this, corey. >> if you look at the polling, real clear opinion research polling from june of 2022, 72% of americans supporting school choice. super majority of republicans, democrats and independents. we should all get together and support school choice. it's passing in red states all around the country right now but it's only a matter of time before blue states follow suit as well because parents have woken up. they're never going back to sleep. they're paying attention and politicians will be wise to listen to them. >> trace: these cans are kids

in underserved communities desperately need outlets for good education. corey, thank you for coming on. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much, trace. >> trace: well, a missionary and his family from north carolina who walked across the country carrying a cross and an american flag had their trip cut short after a serious confrontation with a man in montana. our chief religion correspondent lauren green has more. >> reporter: jesse boyd profess a heart for jesus and for america. last year, the north carolina native began a walk across the country carrying a cross and an american flag. >> i was burning for this country. i felt like the lord pressed upon my heart to just pick up a cross, start at the ocean and walk from sea to shining sea. >> reporter: boyd and a small group that included his 12-year-old son and 18-year-old daughter had logged nearly 5,600 miles when their trek was

abruptly halted in madison county, montana, after a violent encounter with a local man who was enraged and spewing profanities about where their support vehicle was parked on a snowy access road. boyd says the man identified as brad terrell made death threats and threw the first punch. >> when he punched me in the face t broke my glasses. >> reporter: but the sheriff's report doesn't make mention of boyd's claims. the missionaries were arrested, charged with felony assault which carries a 20-year sentence and each slapped with $50,000 bail. terrell has said in published reports he's the victim saying "i would love people to see the evidence. stay with us. follow the case and follow the facts." boyd's attorney plans a lawsuit against the county. >> they didn't even have an opportunity to speak to a lawyer before they were put through their arraignment. i mean, the procedural and constitutional deficiencies here are really, are really quite something. >> reporter: boyd admits pulling a gun out but says it was self-defense. fox has reached out several times to mr. terrell, the

madison county attorney and sheriff for comment but they've not responded. trace? >> trace: lauren, thank you. got to believe we're going to hear more on this. still to come, a turtle and shark battle it out in the australian ocean. and just a hint, the result is very reminiscent of david and goliath and a ups delivery driver busts a move after noticing what a homeowner left on the porch. >> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

right? just over a month ago, yankees super star aaron judge hit a record-breaking 60-second home run surpassing roger maris' longtime record from 1961. yankee fans celebrating another aaron judge record, his new contract, nine years, $360 million. he remains a bronx bomber. a park ranger at the zion national park in utah captured this stunning footage of the milky way. the time lapse shows the jagged peaks of the park's mountains against the starry backdrop. zion national park has long been recognized for the exceptional quality of its night skies. indeed. now this, a ups delivery driver broke out in a happy dance after he noticed the owner of a louisville, kentucky, home left a basket of snacks for anyone dropping off packages. homeowners say since the pandemic, they've become more reliant on delivery services and wanted to show their appreciation. by the way, the driver says the capri suns are the best! another homeowner, this time in

florence park, new jersey, also left treats for delivery drivers but the neighborhood appears to have a gingrich. home sur-- grinch. home surveillance shows the fox coming to get the food. the animal had a dangerous skin condition and the homeowner, apparently a veterinarian, gifts out snacks. a turtle revealed her defense tactics with a battle with an aggressive tiger shark off the western coast of australia. take a look at this. the turtle repeatedly turns its back on the shark as it tries to land a vital blow. according to the family who captured this drone video, the turtle eventually bit the shark's tail causing it to swim off. dang. good for you, mr. turtle. if you have a viral video to share, hit me up @tracegallagher or on foxnewsatnight on social media. american girl is now accused of stripping away all innocence as

part of the backlash to its new book titled "a smart girl's guide." ktth, seattle talk radio host jason rance joining us now. my girls loved "american girl" dolls. we go to the store all the time. this targets girls 3-12 years old. in the guidebook, it says, quoting here f you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your bodi' changes giving you more time to think about your gender identity. if you don't have an adult you trust, there are organizations across the country that can help you. i mean, i feel like i'm be punk'd. is this a joke? is this some weird thing, jason? >> i mean, i really wish it was a warning to stay away from abusive doctors and abusive organizations, but unfortunately, it's not, and i think there are folks who legitimately think three

year-olds are thinking they're not a girl but a boy. however at three years old and six years old or eight years old, i'm sorry, but we're introducing this at way too young of an age and i do think part of this is to get them to reconsider their gender because i think that they see this as an opportunity to not just for lack of a better term normalize transgenderism at a young age but to convince more people that seems more acceptable when they get older. >> trace: i want to get away from that topic and move onto shark week. "washington post" saying this about shark week in a study published last month by the public library of science, their research confirms that it emphasized ingestive messages about sharks, lacked useful messaging about shark conservation and overwhelmingly featured white men as experts including several with the same name. apparently a couple of guys were named "mike" and they were overly offensive to this group. >> i love this.

i've become slightly obsessed with this article because of all the conflicts. it starts out by quoting a white woman by the way, but a woman who is saying, hey, for all my life, i've been watching shark week. i never saw someone who looked like me. how would i know i could become someone who could study sharks? then she literally got into that field! then, of course, in this article, they lean on a white dude to tell us that there are many women, particularly women of color in this particular field, why won't we give them any air time? dude, you are being quoted, so why don't you step down and let someone else talk? it is remarkable! >> trace: it is remarkable. lastly, your favorite restaurant, i'm so sorry to say, robbed 18 times in two and a half years. air is feena, the owner, christian chandler says, "i mean, 18 times in two and a half years is ridiculous and, you know, the fact i'm even reaching out to the mayor's office requesting all this help, just do something for us. small business is the back

b.o.b of the city of seattle. i see restaurants closing weekly and there's more that the city could be doing to help us." got a feeling he's not going to get much help. >> he's not and that's the unfortunate reality and it's very clear that this is tied to the light on crime policies. he told me yesterday in an interview out of 29 years -- the first 29 years in business, he had about five break-ins. the last two and a half, he's had 18. and i think you could tie that directly to the defunding of the police -- which by the way, the seattle police department was just defunded, 80 positions permanently by the seattle city council. that was last week. despite all of what's happened and what's very clearly happening as a result of these moves and then, of course, you and i have talked about the fact you cannot pursue criminals, so if you're doing a quick smash-and-grab like breaking into a restaurant and stealing all of their wine, get into a stolen car and drive off, you're going to be fine. >> trace: you're going to be just fine. it's amazing. i hope your restaurant stays open because it's nothing -- nothing better than a great restaurant. great italian restaurant. jason, great to see you.

>> thanks. >> trace: new information tonight this past weekend's targeted attack of a power station in north carolina that left tens of thousands still without electricity wasn't a one-off. a federal law enforcement memo warned substations in washington and oregon recently suffered physical attacks similar to the one in north carolina and ended up causing widespread power failures with potential impact of social disruption and violent anti-government criminal activity. russian president vladimir putin is refusing to guarantee his country won't be the first to use nuclear weapons in its conflict with ukraine. this evening, u.s. senators now considering what they heard in a high-level briefing from the defense secretary and the joint chiefs chairman. here's the national security correspondent jennifer griffin. >> reporter: time magazine's new man of the year, president zelenskyy, visit the front lines of injured ukrainian soldiers as top u.s. national security officials gave senators a

classified briefing on how the ukrainians are using u.s. military support to stymie the russian advance. concern that the longer the war goes on, u.s. weapons stockpiles will be depleted. defense analysts have sounded the alarm. >> the problem is we've consumed so much supply in the first 10 months of the war, we've essentially used up 13 years worth of stinger production and five years worth of jaaf production. the question is how will we resupply, restock the inventories? >> reporter: high-end precision weapons like the high mars rocket launch system have been a game-changer forcing russia to retreat. the pentagon secretly altered the high-mars rocketing system it's been sending to ukraine shortening the missile capabilities so it can't hit russia. the u.s. sent 20 high mars to ukraine. right maining 18 promised have yet to be produced by lockheed
