right time. but certainly the right ally. peter doocy is live in warsaw with the very latest. peter? >> peter: and about a 10-minute walk away from here president biden is soon going to sit down with pool issue will counterpart and they are going to talk about possibly sending more u.s. troops here from poland. the polish want that they want it to be more permanent because they have been saying publicly they think poland could be russia's next conquest if they wind up taking over ukraine, which is next door. that comes as putin said a few minutes ago in a speech that russia is going to pull out of the last remaining arms control deal between the u.s. and russia. the new start nuclear treaty. >> >> responsibility for fomenting the ukrainian conflict for its escalation and for the increasing number of victims lies entirely with western elites and, of course, the current regime in kyiv for which the ukrainian people are essentially strangers.

>> something that stands out from the president's remarks in ukraine, he said freedom is priceless. but, in this case, there is a price. 113 billion u.s. taxpayer dollars so far and there's more coming as national security officials we talk to are warning about the danger of china possibly stepping in to help russia. >> we heard the secretary of state today or yesterday talking about a possible -- possible that the chinese could in the future start helping russia with lethal aid. how big of a concern is that right now? >> i think we do have concerns that china is considering providing military assistance to russia. we obviously saw russia in china announce a no holds partnership about a year ago and, obviously have concerns about china continuing to bolster russia as they are continuing to prosecute this war. >> peter: so the follow-up on that would be something to listen for today. will president biden publicly warn china's president xi not to

team up with putin in that way? back to you. >> steve: there are so many moving parts here. peter, we understand that apparently the president is running behind schedule. normally on something like this, they are pretty punctual. but you have got figure one of the reasons he is delayed is because they are trying to figure out what to put into his remarks about how they are suspending this new start nuclear treaty. >> yes. that would be a big part of it. these remarks would have been written over the course of several days or even weeks because they know what they want to do with regard to ukraine aid. that is potentially a game changer since putin is saying that for the time is he not going to let u.s. inspectors in to see russian nuclear sites. another consideration could be the president might be tired. the "new york times" has an item he had a hard time sleeping on the 20 hour train ride in and out of ukraine. >> brian: how long was he on the ground in ukraine? i thought six hours; is that

correct? >> . so it was about -- it was just under six hours off the train. but then the other 20 hours he was technically in ukraine just riding the rails. and apparently not sleeping. >> we heard in ukraine for 23 hours before going to poland in kyiv for five hours. >> steve: peter, i thought joe biden pretty much lived on the train when he was going back and forth. for him not to be able to sleep says something. >> ainsley: peter we are hearing that the president has left so he should be there soon. sorry to interrupt you. >> peter: and to your point, dad, if you listen to biden talk about his days on the train, he was just talking to everybody. talking to the guy in the cafe car. talking to the conductor. and even though they had the shades drawn, i'm sure there was a conductor he could be talking to or something. >> ainsley: peter, i'm curious, i don't know if you had enough time on the ground to talk to individuals there what happened to all the displaced families? what about the children that were sent to orphanages there. >> brian: that were kidnapped.

>> peter: a lot of them are still here. i saw a stat the population of warsaw roughly doubled over the last year because there have been so many people. they have had to absorb a ton of these displaced ukrainian refugees and that would be something else that president biden is going to talk to duda about here in a few minutes. >> steve: and the president we understand has left the residence where we overnighted and he should be at your location very shortly. and we'll bring those live pictures. peter, thank you very much. >> brian: thanks. in vladimir putin's speech, he said he is out of the nuclear arms deal. he said the west in ukraine started this war, which is total followy. he seemed total detached and rambling for over an hour. the utter existence of russia is at stake. mailed a veiled threat about using nuclear weapons. and he also is delusional about his economy. so far ran a $25 billion deficit

in january alone since the sanctions went. in recent poll in january says two thirds of the american public do support giving aid to ukraine for this battle. so far one fifth of ukraine he has lost at least 200,000 men from the battlefield whether casualties or kills. he is preparing another surge. but you have got to figure in some respects his last surge because he has got about 200,000. he says con scripts who have had all of about six weeks of training. and you have got to figure this is not only the b team. this is not even the c team. this is a non-team that was drafted and now they are going to go in as cannon fodder to go against an experienced fighting force. there is a lot of people who feel as though if ukraine cannot only hold off but advance in their spring surge, that will be the turn around the west needs to see. >> ainsley: he also said they are going to resume testing nuclear weapons if we do.

there is also a top chinese diplomat that's expected to visit russia this week well america is pouring weapons in ukraine. they are in no position to tell what to do. if does this there will be a world war iii. i do think china is aware of that tulsi gabbard, other republicans who are on shows last night on fox well she is not a republican she is an independent now. making demands of the u.s. in nato countries by claiming this could be world war iii. >> brian: here is lieutenant michael waltz within the hour. >> one the of the cards putin has left his conventional army has been completely disseminated the bigger piece on the nuclear stage is actually china. china has more icbms than we

do. they are looking to triple their arsenal in the next few years. so, that's where my concern is not so much russia. they are already helping with nonlethal aid with economic aid. their imports of russian oil have increased over 50% so everything that basically europe has walked away from, china and india have picked up the slack in terms of the russian economy. so so much for the, you know, 9 highly vaunted sanctions. >> brian: we could pressure india, i don't know why we are not doing it. >> steve: as michael waltz said himself he said look, as you can see the president pulling up to the presidential palace there in poland. this is different by the way than yesterday. yesterday, when he arrived in kyiv, he was in a white suv that was a toyota product. whereas the thinking was he would not arrive in that vehicle

because everybody in the world knows that when you have got a cadillac also known as the beast with flags on the front that's the president of the united states. obviously yesterday, when he spent slightly in excess of 20 hours in ukraine on the train back and forth they didn't want people to know until he actually gave the high sign that the president was there we do understand that with this speech that the president is going to be giving is he going to be stating values, not just joust ling with putin but it will be interesting to see if anything latest threat from vament that russia is start suspending the new start treaty. last treaty we have got with the former soviet union, now russia. and if true if putin follows through this would be a sharp break with the west which just goes to show you how desperate the guy is you have putin making

his speech this morning and the top chinese diplomat going over there to support russia. so much they say you have enough time to go over to ukraine. you have enough time to or enough money to give to them, what about us your own people, your own citizens? they feel ignored. the mayor of palestine after that train derailment said is he, meaning president biden too busy for us here in palestine? listen. that was the biggest slap in the face that tells you right now he doesn't care about us. >> agreed. >> he can send every agency he wants to. i found out this morning in one of the briefings, that he was in ukraine giving millions of dollars away over there and not to us. i'm furious. >> on presidents' day in our country. >> yeah. presidents' day in our country he is over in ukraine that tells

you what kind of guy he is these people locks like norfolk southern is stepping up. set up clinics for people to deal with getting on the ground and evaluating the money situation. they have given thousand dollar checks people were lined up yesterday. figure out how to expand the zip codes to to see owho is effectively affected. neighboring governors of pennsylvania going to be in town and try to do something collectively. in the private sector they seem to be be around. 3.4 million for direct financial assistance to families. 1 million for community assistance. 1 million for budget for community liaison. 220,000 for reimbursement fund for equipment to first responders while cleaning up the mess and getting out the soil that seems to be contaminated. earlier i had a chance to talk to two youth basketball coaches. who have another problem. these kids who have been through so much like your kids at home

are now ostracized again. they can't get any people to play even though they are back in school. they have already lost revenue from tournaments and games. they can't get an opponent. listen. >> use basketball called tournament that we were supposed to host for last weekend, saturday and sunday. that was taken from us because people didn't feel safe to come into town. >> the question for east palestine is how long does this go on to where teams don't want to come to our town? baseball is going to be starting in the spring. track meets are going to be starting in the spring. it's very important it for kids to play in their hometown. and when they don't get that opportunity, they wonder why. >> brian: they have air quality tests in the gym. these kids are practicing. they have to have scrimmages. you would like to teach the kids a degree of resilience. they are going to schooling. >> ainsley: really the opposing teams don't want to come into palestine. >> brian: coaches say i want to come the parent say no.

>> steve: you can understand that if you are a parent and you have got a kid you hear okay, we're going to send our kids to this place where everybody in the world has been saying they are doing these water tests. they are doing the air tests we don't trust the government. >> ainsley: or what is going to happen in five years. you don't want to send your child into that. >> steve: exactly. parents who have children who have breathing problems anyway. i have a few has asthma. that person did -- >> brian: do that and also the resiliency thing. >> steve: the whole idea behind this is there are a lot. you feel for the people of palestine. >> ainsley: yes. >> steve: they want to do -- they want to get back to normal. >> brian: they are back to normal. they are in school. >> steve: they are. i don't know that i would send my kids back. the three of us on this couch have been talking about how we don't trust the government regarding their response. and, you know, while the government says the air inside the school is okay. i don't trust it. i think i would be one of those parents who kept their kids out and would feed them bottled water.

>> brian: same kids have been told to stay home for three years. >> steve: brian, pick a lane do you trust the government or don't you. >> ainsley: after 9/11. air quality they tested the time goes on it gets better and better. how far out until people aren't worried anymore. >> steve: i don't think we know because you don't know if you don't know. >> brian: go to bermuda. >> ainsley: looks like the president just pulled up to this is the palace you said? >> steve: presidential palace. it's going to take about 20 seconds for him to open the door generally they wait a second. oh, look at that they just opened it right up. apparently a super secure location. and here comes the president who we heard had a problem falling asleep last night because of his busy day reading. tapping on the shoulder the president of poland. >> they are going to meet and our president is scheduled to speak, they say at 11:30 eastern time because on this friday, friday will be the one year anniversary of the start of the war.

so, he planned going on this trip for months. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: two days ago or two days before you would know more, steve. >> steve: they gave the green sign on friday. >> brian: supposed to have a significant announcement in this. i'm wondering if zelenskyy one-on-one with him saying what exactly he needs. basically he was going to stay there for a few hours instead of a few minutes. you are not pressed to deal with for the most part. i'm wondering if here he says i'm going to give you the fighter jets. i'm going to give you the long range missiles that you have been asking for rather than slow walking everything. patriot missiles not ready to be deployed yet still training on them. there is also some training going on with the tanks as well as the leopard tanks, the leopard 2s that the germans have and other countries bought from the germans willing to give to the ukrainians that now the germans have given permission for that believe it or not, you have to give permission, and i hope he brings up putting pressure on the allies to do

what we are doing. that is not only pledge but give up money as you heard mentioned earlier. the other ally. we gave $11 billion. the only other person that's given billion dollars of dollars. 4 billion from the ukraine. whose economy is sucking wind right now. that's pretty significant. where are the germans on this. call them out publicly, that's what you need to do. >> steve: i was going to highlight what we know there as you see them walking toward where they are going to be meeting. they are going to be consulting with the nato allies. they are going to highlight the commitment over the past year. the white house says obviously, the president, shaking hands right there, stands with the ukraine, but there is no clear end game in the war in the near term and the situation is increasingly complex. china may say -- send lethal aid and of course now we have got vladimir putin doing some saber ratling talking about suspending the new start nuclear weapons treaty. if the president does say okay. i'm going to give you fighter

jets and stuff like that. i know there are a number of members of congress who have got a problem with that. because that would significantly ratchet up the war with -- between ukraine and russia. and i saw a tweet from senator mike lee the republican from the great state of utah last night where he talked about the task of declaring war belongs to congress not potus. here is the president of the united states.

remember that, with signs that said we will take four, we will take five. that was just a year ago. >> brian: think about how loyal poland has been. for our operation in iraq to afghanistan. they have sent troops with nato. they are one of the last ones out and retrieving pe when afghanistan fell thanks to president biden's folly. now the first ones to stand up and host a series of events and now they know they are at the cusp. they know they have been chopped up by hitler in the past. they have been invaded and part of their land annexed by the soviets after that. and they have got the first with -- the first to break free of russia democracy. now they are saying america, we would like to give you free land. i hope you build a base. we would like a huge american military presence right in our country. we will pay for everything. >> steve: well, let's see what happens. the president running about a half an hour behind schedule. we will bring you his comments when he takes the stage. in the meantime, 7:25 now.

>> brian: fox news alert now. president biden currently meeting with poland's president duda in the presidential palace in warsaw. meanwhile vladimir putin announcing hours ago russia will be pulling out of the nuclear treaty signed with the u.s. back in 2010 that they were cheating on. how will this impact president biden's remarks later this morning? he was late this morning, maybe rewriting that speech. former ambassador kurt volker served as u.s. envoy to ukraine joins us now. ambassador, so far we watched vladimir putin speak for over an hour. one of the things he said he is getting out of the nuclear treaty. he had a veiled threat of using nuclear weapons he said this war was started by ukraine and the western allies. your thoughts? >> yeah. first off, it's important that the president went because he is now staked america's credibility on ukraine winning this war.

and that's terribly important. i hope the administration follows up and starts providing all the weapons we can rather than holding back on things. now, with putin and the nuclear treaty. they weren't implementing it anyway. they weren't allowing inspections. this is just one more steps in a whole series of t of treaties hs stopped implementing. deterrence works. finally you brought up this point of history. he has made up history all along the way to claim justification for his attack on ukraine. these are not any more russia's historic lands than they are anybody else's. >> brian: how serious do you take the veiled threat on nukes? >> i don't think he will do it. i think he knows it would draw a devastating response against him and his military forces if he did his military is afraid to do it response would hit him. they also know they don't have the protective equipment and using weapons on battlefield is going to hurts russian soldiers

as well. make the land uninhabitable. the whole point is to take land why make it uninhabitable. >> brian: they need f 16s. we just said we have to win the war. there should be no reason to hold back. and if people say. >> that's exactly right. >> brian: going to be ratcheting up the weapons. really? i think russia has got up to 500,000 troops ready to surge in. i don't think that number is legitimate. let's say it's 200,000. i'm pretty sure they are ratcheting it up. >> well, they are doing everything they can. they have conscripted people. they have thrown them at the frontline. they have gotten people out of jail. throwing them at the frontline. they have gone to no north kore, iran. they are throwing everything they can at this. all we are doing is giving ukrainians just enough, which is great and they need it. but we should do everything possible to end this war as quickly as possible so fewer people die and we are not facings the temptation of a

longer war and possibly a putin that survives and attacks other countries or as you brought up, the risk of nuclear weapons. we just have to end this war as quickly as possible. >> brian: if the chinese spokesperson saying on the u.s. saying do not supply weapons to russia. they blistered us saying how dare. we can give weapons to ukraine but they can't give to russia? as if they are saying they will go ahead and do it. do you think that china is going to start arming the russians? >> i don't think they are doing it now. it was always a risk, of course, they have some capability to do it. particularly ammunition, which the russians badly need. but i don't think china's interests are served by giving arms to russia. russia is attacking a sovereign, independent state, something that china has always said it stands by, that, you know, have you got to protect state sovereignty and state borders. russia is violating that. it also doesn't want its efforts to be seen to take taiwan as that parallel in any way to what russia is doing in ukraine. and it's economic interests are much more tied to the u.s. and

europe than they are to russia. >> brian: lastly real quick 5 second answer your saying to too more. the most anyone be else is giving. 113 billion. the second place is 4 billion from the u.k. where is germany and france? >> yeah. they have given some things but nowhere near on the scale that we have or that others have. finland has done more per capita. >> brian: of course. >> than just about any country in europe. the germans need to step up more. they finally agreed on tanks, that's great. they should be doing a lot more on the economy and finances if they don't have the military equipment themselves. >> brian: president speaking soon. thanks for the analysis. appreciate it? >> thank you, brian. >> brian: still ahead, crisis at the northern border. cbp leadership asking for volunteers to stop the surge coming from canada. we're going to hear from a border town resident next. ♪

there are very nervous as to what could happen to them and there has been several arrests lately and the border is not. we don't have a lot of border patrol up here now. they are all along the southern border. so our town is very concerned that they stopped. ainsley: what are you seeing in your town and who is coming across the northern border? >> well, as far as what nationality, i'm not sure. but they have been several arrests since christmas. and makes the whole town nervous. we're a small town with very few on the police force and they are taking the border patrol and sending them to the southern border, so it makes the whole north country nervous. >> ainsley: richard, the border patrol they are asking them, according to this internal memo or email, they are asking border patrol agents to redeploy. how long are deployments normally and they are saying this could happen as early as march 1st. how long do they normally deploy? >> i'm not sure how long. but some -- it's three, four

months at least at a time. or up to aer i don't. i'm not sure how much they do deploy timewise. but we're shorthanded for sure. >> ainsley: when you look at these numbers in 2021, the northern border, there were about 27,000 crossings. just since october alone of this fiscal year, we have seen 56,000 crossings. it's more than doubled. why is that? >> i believe that they know that the northern border is not as occupied by the border patrol as they are in the south. and they are trying to get across in the north and that makes it very concerning to the town of pittsburgh. >> ainsley: what exactly do you need in pittsburgh? >> what was that? >> ainsley: what do you need in pittsburgh? >> we need more of the border patrol to enforce it and need more on our police department. we are trying to fill a spot for a full-time position. we have a part time chief now. we need a full-time force.

>> ainsley: why don't have you that position filled? there was no applicants number one. nobody wanted to come to the northern border. >> ainsley: why? because the elements? because you have to be away from your family for so long? >> i think it's a little bit of both of that and we're not as able to pay the high rate for the police chief. so we are not advertising it. and getting enough people up here to apply for the position. >> ainsley: do you worry about the future of our country, richard? >> yes, i do. very much so. it's changed drastically in the last few years. >> ainsley: richard, thank you so much for coming on this morning. >> you're welcome. >> ainsley: coming up, our next guest is taking at in-depth look at america's media. helping uncover bias in stories such as hunter biden's infamous laptop story. the problems with the press next. ♪ find your beat your moment of calm

we need a strong press. we don't have it right now. >> steve: you say american journalism for the most part is broken if you goc back when trump was emerging and all the papers were getting a lot of clicks and tv shows were getting watched because trump was saying stuff people were going did you see that? but the big papers became particularly partisan. >> they did, yeah. the "new york times," "the washington post," these used to be trusted outlets and to be honest, there is still some good journalism that happens there. it gets undermines every single day on twitter as these journalists treat twitter like their diary. it's all out in public. people can see what they actually believe and then they go and read the paper. it undermines the credibility of the institution. and of the journalists themselves. and, yeah, it started with trump. >> brian: tom cotton was asked to write in an editorial in the "new york times," what happened? >> yeah. i did get into this. i talked to people who were in the "new york times" when this happened. it was this uprising that started internally and then it spilled out externally and these

people, these staffers put out these tweets, this column by a united states senator put the lives of staff in danger. that campaign by lower level staffers on twitter and this store of mob. >> brian: talking about the protests. >> and then it turned into riots and referring to that a column that was a normal column. tom cotton's third column for the "new york times" that got major top executives fired because of the uprising of the staff. >> brian: senator who wrote his perspective in an editorial. >> steve: they asked him for. >> exactly. you would think that journalists would understand free speech and the first amendment and the idea of free-flowing exchange of ideas. if you don't like the column say something. write another column. they used twitter to really undermine their own credibility and we saw i describe it as because it's a broken financial incentive structure. if the "new york times" was strong business model still strong this could not have happened. it's weak. >> ainsley: you write about the lack of intro speculation. you are talking about the

covid-19. the identifier mechanic continual. some were saying that works. great drug. other outlets say deworming drug. >> unclear. the idea unsafe for humans? this is taken by tens of millions if not hundreds of millions. >> brian: including joe rogan and joe rogan story i actually tell in the book is joe rogan and sanjay gupta consensus counter consensus. great moment. great exchange. sanjay gupta goes on cnn and leads misinformation campaign against joe rogan he just had a good discussion with. >> steve: these elites in the media are essentially picking winners and losers. >> they are. >> steve: people they like. >> exactly. >> steve: to win. >> so much narrative-driven at this point. look, i'm not overly ideological political bias has been in the press for decades. it's not about politics. what's happened nor recently.

geographic bias. total lack of intraspeculation and social media makes things worse. everyone tries to be a star and influencer and it's embarrassing. >> ainsley: talk about the geographical bias. country so divided depends on where you live and how you vote. >> i lived in dallas for a long time. i think the people in the media, all of the corporate press are based in new york and d.c. you lose something when you are not out among the people. people are complicated. >> brian: our audience is everywhere but there. >> right. exactly. how do you expect to cover the people of the rest of the country when you don't have people there to represent it. >> steve: read all about in a brand new book it's called "uncovered" steve crack cower, thank you for joining us live. >> steve: guy fieri joince ls us the nextto hour.
