going to give up and he goes again, again, and they all, they do it again, and that's the tenacity we need to recover as a nation and yeah, we need our miracle moment, let's go. >> i never had -- >> kurt russell. >> that's it. and congratulate you on your chiefs. i was rooting for the kansas city chiefs. >> would not have won if you did not make us better by beating us the year before. >> "america reports" now. >> we forgot all the ways we are the same as americans, bound by a common set of ideals that set this nation into motion 250 years ago. and that's why i'm proud to say tonight i am running for united states president. >> we need new generational leadership. we have to lead the status quo, we have to lead this chaos. >> i am running for president to end the destruction of our country. >> john: fox news alert, the race for the republican

nomination more crowded by the day, a tech entrepreneur is the third candidate to toss his hat into the ring. as the gop field grows larger, no one in the democratic party has announced candidacy, including president biden, currently staring down multiple crisis here at home and abroad. >> gillian: could the president face a challenge in his own party if he continues to wait to make his announcement? karl rove and marc thiessen will break down the implications of the long wait coming up. >> russia and chinese relations are developing as we planned. previous years, everything has been going forward, developing and we are reaching new frontiers. >> the current international situation is indeed serious and complex, but the reallies are tested by ups and downs in the past, never targets third parties and is not interfered with or provoked by any third

party. >> cooperation in the international arena between the peoples republic of china and the russian federation as we have repeatedly emphasized is very important for stabilizing the international situation. >> john: growing alliance threatens more bloodshed to ukraine, concerns are growing here at home whether president biden can properly handle what some experts believe is turning into a proxy war. john roberts in washington. good wednesday to you. >> gillian: happy wednesday to you, gillian turner in for sandra smith. this is "america reports." now republican lawmakers say those concerns are partially due to fears that the president's ability to deal with china has been compromised by his family's business dealings. they say hunter biden has admitted to receiving a lavish gift from a business leader with very close ties to the chinese communist party. >> john: hunter has until

tonight to hand over documents, or else face a potential subpoena. >> gillian: former national security adviser to president trump, robert o'brien standing by. >> john: steve on nato's response to the russia and china partnership, and mike starts us off with the latest from the d.c. newsroom. are house republicans serious about issuing a subpoena to hunter biden? >> they are, john. interested in digging into biden family business dealings, hunter a key figure. and some members of congress say they are close to a serious next step. >> always going to be a last resort. if our hand is forced, yeah, i think a subpoena will be issued. >> it seems likely hunter biden is not going to cooperate with house oversight demands. his attorney said initially the request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.

lowell has offered to meet with the committee, but some say it's a delaying tactic. delaware has been investigating hunter biden for years, declined to comment when asked by fox about the status of his investigation. >> would you be willing to give us an update on the hunter biden investigation? >> no as to the last. >> back on capitol hill it is clear the new republican majority is running out of patience with the president's son. >> we are not going to really take too much time dilly dallying around the issues of getting something accomplished and on the record. if it has to go as far as subpoenas, that's probably where it's going to end up. >> also a letter to a serbian official who once served as president of the u.n. general assembly. the committee is asking him for documents related to hunter biden and to participate in an interview with committee staff. chairman james comer calling him a key witness in the

investigation. >> john: mike emmanuel, thanks. robert o'brien, former national security adviser to president trump, more on this. robert, great to see you. so, antony blinken was with his chinese counterpart in munich earlier, which he warned ye china should not give weapons to russia and temper growing relations with moscow. then he turns around and he's sitting next to vladimir putin. are the american admonitions falling on deaf ears here? >> yeah, i don't think the chinese think very much of us, they think we are chump, they just flew a balloon over the width and breadth of the united states, stopped to the nuclear silos and then the air force bases and subpins and there was no consequence. i mean, we still have tiktok, we still have the chinese buying farmland next to military bases, we are still importing thousands and thousands of chinese chips,

no consequence. ford motor company is about to do a work around on the inflation reduction act and send billions of dollars in taxpayer dollars to china for their batteries. i mean, the whole thing is absurd, so the chinese don't fear us, respect us, and you are seeing that with foreign minister wang ye. >> john: if china helps russia with weapons in ukraine, what should the u.s. response be? >> we should ban tiktok, a very hard line on chinese espionage and intellectual property theft, we have not done, reinstitute the department of justice organization looking at chinese spies in america, so many things across the board and that's why i'm glad the house committee under chairman gallagher is going to look at all the issues. i think the chinese are making a mistake. the biden legacy is tied up in ukraine, and the democrat party is somewhat split on china. hawks that understand the threat from the chinese communist party

but also a lot of doves that want to go back to where it was, folks supported by wall street, and if chinese gets involved in ukraine, the democrat party aligned with the republican party and no more latent support in the country, we'll get things done when it comes to protecting america. >> john: what the wall street journal editorial board wrote, if russia receives arms from china, the war will descend into a more bloody stalemate or defeat. absent more u.s. arms, the story could end with mr. putin, a greater menace to europe, china emboldened and the united states weakened. >> there is a russia and china alliance, the world needs to recognize it, unlimited partnership, unlimited alliance and china wants to dominate the world and russia wants to

dominate the former soviet union and they are working together to reach the goals and it's going to take the west, america, as its leader and europe and japan and australia, and we need to bring in partners like india, and the free world needs to stand up against the communist chinese party and the imperialists in russia and say we are not going to the era where might makes right in relations, and bigger neighbor could take over taiwan because it wants to or russia can take over the baltics or ukraine because it wants to. that would be a very dangerous world and the west cannot put up with it. it goes back to ronald reagan, peace or strength, and donald trump, peace or strength. >> john: the chinese balloon, apparently antony blinken brought it up, and spokesman said the secretary spoke to the unacceptable air balloon, under scoring this irresponsible act

must never again occur. sounds like tough talk, but questions as to just how tough biden can talk with china because of what we have learned about his son hunter's business dealings in china. do you believe that president biden is compromised on the issue of being able to get tough on china? >> well, look, i appreciate antony blinken's tough talk and i think tony understands the issues here. but there are no consequences for the chinese. so the tough talk without consequences doesn't do a lot for us. as far as president biden goes, look, i don't think president biden is compromised, i think he's a president of the united states, i don't think he's a chinese asset any more than the russia russia russia rochoax wi president trump, but chinese have been dealing with politicians and former politician, influence on wall street, people like hank paulson, basically a call to go back to the bad old days when we

turned a blind eye to tiananmen square and uyghurs, and support in hollywood. ford has a big relationship with catl, a massive chinese party-related, and maybe with the balloon and russia, and maybe they will understand the threat the communist party of china poses to our liberty and way of life, john. >> john: james comer wants to know more about ties ben hunter biden, ccp and maybe president biden. he wants to secure testimony from a fellow convicted of international bribery charges during the trump administration, serbian foreign minister and president of the united nations

general assembly. comer thinks he has some information as to how deep hunter biden's ties with china were. do we need uncover as many stones as possible to find out what's really going on here? >> well, look, i mean, the house committee will get to the bottom of what's going on with hunter biden and i don't know the specifics of his case, but again, the idea that the chinese were using politicians or family members of politicians or former politicians and wall street executives to do their bidding, that's nothing new. we have seen it happening for years, and going on for 40 years in this country, and it needs to come to an end. we have to stop letting the communist party of china have so much influence in the country, so i think these investigations are useful but i don't have any specific information on hunter biden and again, i don't think the president is compromised, but i do think he needs to take a much stronger position with china and there have to be consequences for the things china has done, whether it's genocide, floating the balloon over our country and invading

the air space and sovereignty and the unlimited partnership with russia. if they are going to do, we have to have massive sanctions, sanction russian oil and gas going to china, and do they want to sell to russia and have the russian market or part of the free world market and sell products to the u.s.. make it clear to the chinese there are consequences to the actions. so far there have not been any and so they have free rein to do what they want. >> john: make a few less things we count as american stuff in china. see what they do. robert o'brien, good to watch up with you. >> great to be with you. >> john: lieutenant colonel dan davis and the implications for a strengthening chinese-russian alliance in the next hour. >> gillian: you know him, robert o'brien, perhaps better than anyone at the network, you certainly covered him more in your previous job. it was very interesting, i

thought, to hear him just saw unequivocally he does not think the president is compromised. may be the first republican on the program who has said that straight up. >> john: he's in position to know a lot about china and about the presidency, he may have information that the rest of us don't have, but oversight committee is not going to stop its investigation. it wants -- it believes it has a very large onion and wants to peel back the layers and see what's there. dealing with potentially influence peddling, it's something a lot of people want to look into. >> gillian: and you have to dig deep to get answers. you are not going to find the answers on a piece of paper, unfortunately, or single email. but this coming up also, this massive winter storm now is set to bring really heavy snow and ice across the united states. more than 1,000 flights are already canceled now in anticipation of that weather. we'll take a look and how folks in the midwest are busy preparing. >> john: the supreme court hearing its second major case in

two days over the legal liability of big tech platforms. could the court force companies like twitter to prevent terrorists from using their service. >> gillian: and the republican slate grows longer, president biden could face a real challenge in his own party. we have karl rove to weigh in next. lation. use the 3 ps: plan ahead by getting a va cash out home loan from newday. pay off your high-rate credit cards. pay yourself cash. ♪ zyrteeeec...♪ works hard at hour one and twice as hard when you take it again the next day. so betty can be the... barcode beat conductor. ♪ go betty! ♪ let's be more than our allergies! zeize the day. with zyrtec.

>> we are in the millings of this -- we are in the middle of this national identity crisis, most people my age, any age, what does it mean to be american? i'm on a mission to deliver an answer to that question. >> gillian: vivek ramaswamy is

the next one to throw his hat in the ring, a crowded field over the coming weeks. republicans are making their case to take back the white house, the current mr. president plans are up in the air. karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff and also fox news contributor. karl, especially excited to have you this morning in light of the news from ramaswamy yesterday. let's start with the bigger picture, though. we have the whole massive potential republicans, including the three who have already declared. on the democratic side, not so busy, we are looking at maybe williamson, maybe president biden, it seems, though, that in both cases there's like everyone is waiting for this shoe to drop by you know, on the gop side it's when is ron desantis going to declare, and the democratic side, it's when is president biden going to declare. >> i think that's right. and neither one of them should really be in, you know, in a

rush to do it. governor desantis has a legislative session going on, travelling a bit around the country laying out a message. he can sort of lay behind the log and talk to a lot of people and basically say i'm thinking about running, what do you think if i do, and that's an important part of the dance that people are involved in. people like to be asked for their ideas whether or not somebody should run before they run. the moment they declare, it's the end to saying you are so important i wanted to talk to you before i decided to run. the president, on the other hand, has some problems of his own creation. he told us that he was going to go home and talk to his family over the christmas holidays and make a decision, and then he was going to wait until after the state of the union address, and blah blah blah, all of which has led us to believe there is an apparatus, we are now getting stories who is going to play a role in the campaign and who they are talking to. he is sort of creating the expectation he needs to get the campaign going but answer the incumbent president. the longer he is seen as president and the shorter he is

seen as a candidate, the shorter period of his vulnerability and the greater opportunity to build a strong base before he becomes yet another politician. >> gillian: so mary anne williamson is allegedly going to declare candidacy on march 4th, all the politicos are predicting she's going to run. so far as you mentioned, the only dem lining up to challenge biden. it does seem that all the other potential democrats have sort of promised, pledged to stay out of the race until biden makes a decision and say they are not going to go up against him. do you give them some kudos for political discipline? >> well, i do say the democrats are disciplined but i think there's a very strong likelihood by the end of the year, somebody is going to step forward and say with due respect to the president of the united states, i believe our country and our party would be better off given a choice and i intend to offer that on behalf of a new generation of leadership.

if you take a look at the polls, percentage of the democrats who want president biden to run again is in the 30s and 40s. it's not a vote of confidence. longer he is a candidate, the more people are going to worry about it. and they are going to worry about his electability. the idea going into a general election at 82 years old, hope he'll be able to serve four years, closer to 90 at the end of the term, and his vice president remain as his running mate, if he has bad numbers, she has worse numbers. in 2024, democrats have biden and kamala harris, and donald trump will be 78, but the oldest mike pence at 61, 45-year-old next year ron desantis. the republican candidates are in their 40s and 50s, most of them.

and so that change is going to be really critical. i think we are at a tipping point. we had 32 years from 1960 to 1992 in which we were governed by presidents of the greatest generation. now 32 years of presidents from the baby boomer generation. people in america say really, the best we can do is a 78-year-old and 82-year-old at a time the country faces big challenges, and i think that may be enough to draw a democrat or two more significant than mary anne williamson into the race. >> gillian: i want to get your take on vivek ramaswamy, single issue candidate, anti-wokism, he wants to bring merit back to the country. >> he's got a very, you know, sort of patriotic american upbringing, parents were immigrants from india, he's been very successful in business, he's 36 years old. look, everybody is -- all you have to do to run for president

is file a committee with the federal election committee, he's got personal resources, successful book, been a lot on fox, an issue he wants to push anti-woke, but we'll see if that's enough. that's everybody is going to get into the race is going to find themselves working hard to develop an apparatus to build a coalition that can win some of these early contests and vault them into serious contention for the republican nomination. sounds easy but it's hard, and he and nikki haley and others are likely to find themselves having a moment saying wow, this is big and complicated. >> gillian: final final, karl, tim scott is going to give a big speech in the 3:00 p.m. hour. where does he line up? >> he's also going to be here in austin at a conference on friday i'm involved in, interviewed before 350, 375 republican

donors and party leaders by senator cornyn. he was at the same conference two years ago, as was mike pompeo and ron desantis. he captured the crowd two years ago in an interview now former congressman kevin brady from the houston area. he has a compelling message and if he decides to get in, he'll be serious. what's his message, how does he inspire the coalition that makes him competitive in the early states. i expect him to turn in a strong performance on saturday and i expect -- excuse me, on friday, and he and nikki haley to be contenders in this. she's also at the conference as well. >> gillian: karl, finally going to let you go for real. i could talk to you all afternoon. thanks so much. >> john: always good to chat with karl. twitter taking its turn in the hot seat as the supreme court investigates big tech companies. today's focus is on liability and whether the families of

terror victims can hold social media companies responsible. david spunt is life from the supreme court. what's the difference between yesterday and today's case? >> john, yesterday was by immunity, getting into the door to the courtroom to even begin with. as you said, today is specifically about liability and can social media giants like twitter be held liable. arguments just wrapped after two and a half hours, same story yesterday, they were supposed to be scheduled for an hour and ten minutes, but these seem to go longer and longer, especially when you have such an important case. this is the second big case involving big tech this week. family of a man killed in an isis attack in turkey in 2017 sued twitter, google and facebook, arguing those platforms posted terrorist videos on their site helping to spread propaganda. the justices, john, must decide how much responsibility, if any social media company should bear for the content online.

a lot of questions about liability and aiding and abetting. a twitter attorney in court argued the company did not provide assistance and was not aware of the terrorism content and the communications were not significant enough on twitter to link the platform to the tragedy that happened in turkey back in 2017. now, yesterday's case centered on section 230 of the 1996 communications decency act. that shielded social media companies from lawsuits or as i said, immunity. based on what is posted and shared on websites and third party platforms. now, in 2015, and this is still yesterday's case, american college student, 23-year-old woman was killed while visiting paris in an isis attack. her family sued twitter, facebook and google, arguing all three recommended extremist content from isis-related groups. >> i think something good is coming out from this court, we are just seeking for justice. >> proponents of section 230 say

these companies should have immunity because if they don't, they are going to be paranoid, take down everything and it will take away the basis of the free speech doctrine those against section 230 say it's old, archaic, time to rewrite the rules because the internet is a very different place than it was in 1996. >> john: sure was. after al gore invented it, it became something neither one of us could ever conceive of. david, thank you. gillian. >> gillian: a growing number of cities nationwide are considering adopting reparations programs. should covid relief funds be tapped to make this happen? >> john: a long time friend of alec murdaugh testifying today and possibly blowing a big hole in his alibi. what could it mean for his defense? defense attorney will weigh in on that coming up. >> i have dealt with a lot of adult children whose parents are

accused of murder and they never believe the parent did it because i don't think that they can accept it emotionally, deep in their core.

[ chuckles ] well, this safe driver saved money with the snapshot app from progressive. -how do you feel? -um, good? he's better than good. he got rewarded for driving safe and driving less. sorry, barb, just to confirm, this is the feel-good news of the week?

this is what we found. -yay, snapshot! >> john: high winds and heavy snow are on tap for 40 million americans as a massive winter storm moves across the united states. according to flight aware, more than 2,000 u.s. flights have been canceled so far today, and we are only about halfway through the flying day. a live look at conditions in sioux city, iowa. northern states can expect blizzard conditions, up to two feet of snow in some areas as the midwest and northeast themselves are bracing for severe ice, be careful out there on the roads. >> gillian: also this, long time friend of alec murdaugh went to the witness stand, his former law partner. ball identified murdaugh's voice

and recording taken just prior to the murders, possibly dealing a blow to the defendant's alibi. this comes as we learn the defendant could soon take the stand in his own defense. criminal defense attorney mark eiglarsh will join us in a moment, but first charles watson has the scoop on the proceedings. is alec murdaugh going to testify, do you think? >> that's a question everyone wants an answer to. the short answer is we don't know, but the defense attorneys for alec murdaugh did indicate this morning at least that they were thinking about having murdaugh testify. it will not be today, but it could be at some point this week. what they don't want murdaugh to do, to answer questions about his alleged financial crimes he's accused of. they asked the judge to bar that line of questioning in the prosecution's cross examination, and rule whether or not alec could invoke his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination

should he be subjected to questions about his finances. the judge said alec needs to take the stand before he makes any rulings on the scope of testimony. afterwards we heard testimony from the defense fifth witness, mark ball, alec's former law partner. testified he and several other lawyers from their firm were at the crime scene following the murders of maggie and paul, and painted a picture of a scene that was not properly secured, he said it was raining but seemed to be no rush to cover the bodies of paul and maggie or to preserve evidence. >> it's crime scene. you don't want water dripping all over the place and i thought it was quite disrespective. >> ball testified alec was devastated and upset at the crime scene, but a bit of a headache for the defense. during cross he testified he thought he knew alex to be an upstanding lawyer and family man

but after the financial misconduct he was not so sure. described alec as cunning and said he did not appear nearly as interested as everyone else in terms of figuring out what happened to his wife and son after their murders. >> i didn't see him on the phone like i was trying to call clients and did you hear anything, did you see anything, those kinds of things. >> the snapchat video that paul murdaugh filmed before the murders, right before the murders was brought up again. mr. ball was asked whether he could identify the voices on that tape and he said he heard paul, maggie and alec. remember, this is during the time that alec told investigators he was napping. gillian. >> gillian: charles watson in atlanta for us, thank you. >> john: bring in mark eiglarsh. so, mark ball a bit of a two-edged sword for the defense, one hand, credence to the

contention that the crime scene was contaminated by too many people walking around and then the other hand identifying alec's voice on that recording out by the kennels, a point he said he was not there. >> yeah, identifying his voice as being there is compelling. that's it. if you believe he was there, it not only shows that his alibi was not credible, but also that he was there, he had an opportunity. it blows out of the water that there might be someone else there to kill his wife and child. so yeah, a little bit of benefit, ok, he's crying, he fits the part, consistent with what his son buster said, daddy looked like he was upset, destroyed, either a victim or phenomenal actor. but what doesn't, what doesn't help the defense at all is someone saying that's his voice, he was at the scene, and thus

he's a liar. >> john: in his opening statement defense attorney suggested that even if it is alec murdaugh who was heard on the recording out by the kennels, it does not show a whole lot, there was a normal discussion with no animosity, he said, his son paul is very happy, he said nobody is down there threatening him, paul, that is, daddy is not pulling out a shotgun and killing him. so is that a suggestion that ok, even if alec wasn't completely forthcoming where he was, there's no threat there. >> yeah, the first part is, you have to get past that. ok, folks, remember what he was saying about the alibi, that's all garbage. but even if he was there, even if he was there, it doesn't mean that he did this. ok, well, that's where you've got testimony that the defense vehemently objected to, that answers the question, the prosecutors don't have to answer, motive. why someone in their right mind

would kill their wife and their precious offspring. and the answer is because he wasn't in his right frame of mind. if they can show that he's an opioid addict for 20 years and that he began stealing from his law firm and trusted clients, already the wheels will be in motion showing he was not in the right frame of mind. >> john: you mentioned his son buster, screen right besides you, and issue that alec murdaugh was not showing emotion or the expected emotion the night of the murders. as you pointed out, buster testified to the exact opposite of what the prosecution is contending. what he said yesterday, listen here. >> his demeanor, he was destroyed, heart broken. i walked in the door and saw him and gave him a hug and just broken down. >> could he speak? >> not really. >> was he crying? >> yes, sir. >> john: suggested he was very emotional the night of the

murders. here is the thing that i can't quite figure out here, mark. unless there's some weird family dynamic going on that we don't know, if buster murdaugh suspected his father of killing his mother and his brother, you would expect there would be hatred in his voice. here is this kid taking the stand defending his father to the hit. >> right. you've got it, john. that's why this witness was extremely compelling for the defense. he did two major things. number one, essentially saying i believe in my father's innocence, and he's not saying that, he's not allowed to say that, that's for the jury to decide, but he's saying it. it's implied in the manner in which he's testifying showing that his father looked more like a victim than a perpetrator. but the second thing that he gave the defense was he finally resolved this issue of whether his father said to law enforcement that they did them wrong or i did them wrong. i mean, that whole thing took days and it was a major issue,

and now his son is saying it was they, not i. >> john: but it's still, only what he heard. other people have heard different things. mark, see where it goes. we'll keep following it. thanks for joining us. >> gillian: take a look at this. arizona rancher who denies killing a mexican man on his property appeared in court. he asked the judge to set him free. who he says was the real killer coming up. >> john: transportation secretary pete buttigieg finally deciding it's time to head to ohio as the biden administration faces growing criticism over its response to the toxic train wreck there. congressman pat murphy ahead with reaction to that. >> i found that out this morning in one of the briefings that he was in the ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there and not to us, i'm furious. lower your monthly payments with the 3 c's. pay down your credit cards. pay off your car loan. consolidate your debt with a va home loan from newday.

little too late. joining us now is congressman patrick murphy. take a listen to the clip of the secretary on msnbc. >> what do you say to people who see the president's visit to ukraine but don't see you or the president in east palestine? >> well, biggest thing i want residents of east palestine to know they are not alone. this has the attention of the entire administration and will for many years to come. >> gillian: what do you think? >> listen, i'm a big secretary pete fan. afghan war veteran but i'm a straight shooter, and too little too late. i was in an amtrak crash seven years ago and what happens on the crashes is you have to have the ntsp, the national train safety board has to do an investigation. they don't report to the doj but everyone has to stand back and see what goes on. that investigation will have preliminary results tomorrow and why he's going tomorrow.

he's going to -- secretary pete will go tomorrow, hear the initial report of the investigation, a community event and talk to the department of transportation folks that have been on the ground within hours since that crash. so no, i don't think it's too little too late. i think he's always led from the front and it is a good thing because the people of east palestine are hurt, they have been hurting, and when you have basically 150 car train, freight train, over three miles long that crashes, that is an ecological disaster, people -- 1,000 evacuated from a town of 5,000, we need to do a lot of had ep to those folks who are hurting and will be hurting in the years to come. >> john: we spoke with the mayor of east palestine, strength conaway about buttigieg's absence, why it was taking so long to get there. >> as far as mayor pete, people like to call him, i would rather he just stay away. he is just going to cause a

circus unless he will bring a shovel and shovel some dirt and get rid of this contaminated soil. that's the only reason he would need to come to this town. >> john: we heard from michael regan, i don't want to go there and disrupt the first responders and i appreciate the fact that you were such a hero in that train derailment in 2015, helping out people, eight people died, but some notable differences. while people died there, no toxic chemicals on the train so let the ntsb do the investigation. here in east palestine you had all of these evacuations as you pointed out. i mean, pete buttigieg, he's not the president, he's not the vice president, he's 14th in line of succession to the presidency, for you designated survivors fans is behind hud. so it's not like he's going to take a lot of people with him there, walking with his husband down the street in washington, d.c. would it have killed him to be out there in the first days after the train wreck to say we are on the case, we feel for all

of you, we know what an ecological disaster is, we are here to help. >> interesting, i was the first iraq war veteran elected to the u.s. congress and in months of the job, constituent was killed in iraq and the parents were not of my political party and some of the founding members said we would rather not the congressman show up at her funeral. they didn't say it to me, but i went and sat in the back. it's the burden of leadership you have to deal with. i look at this and think, you know, you had the mayor clip there, he's trying to do the right thing. made a judgment call, ntsb has to do the investigation, as soon as i go there, i will, and they are making the preliminary results tomorrow of the initial investigation. i would saying that there's folks that are missing the ball here. norfolk southern, the train company made billions in profit. they did a stock buy back of

$18 billion. >> john: they will ultimately be responsible. >> only for $225,000. only a quarter, basically a quarter million dollars fine, that's the max that they can get fined by the government. congress could change that today. we have to unify as a country, and stop picking sides, move the ball forward. >> john: unfortunately we have to go as well. up against a hard break. the show of solidarity between russia and china could turn putin's war in ukraine into a bloodier disaster with ukraine on the losing end. what does the u.s. need to do now before it's too late. lieutenant colonel dan davis weighs in just ahead. steroid-free allergy relief that starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. now with astepro fast allergy relief, [ spray, spray ] you can astepro and go. i just always thought, “dog food is dog food” i didn't really piece together that dogs eat food. as soon as we brought the farmer's dog in, her skin was better, she was more active.
