re working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. >> john: top of the hour, fox weather alert. a storm is hitting every single state except alaska where they are used to it and hawaii where they never get it. >> gillian: planes on the tarmac in minnesota, bracing for up to 24 inches. a lot more headaches on the way

here. take a look at the misery map, more miserable virtually by the moment. >> john: you have to love the misery map. "america reports" rolls into a second hour. i'm john roberts, good day to you again. >> gillian: no misery here, all good, all happy, not complaining about anything for a change. >> john: might be misery for you, but not -- >> gillian: i'm gillian turner in for sandra smith, we'll take you live to the snow zone but first overseas. >> john: president biden jetting back to washington and leaving behind a new axis of evil. china and russia showcasing their close ties with iran in tow. >> gillian: declaring a no limits partnership, experts say not only a threat to ukraine but the future of taiwan as well. >> john: when chinese president

xi jinping makes a trip to moscow in the spring. china says they plan to play peacemaker but they doubt intentions. >> they are working together today to reach those goals. >> john: where do we stand against our adversaries? we will take that up with retired lieutenant colonel daniel davis. >> gillian: first, in poland, jennifer griffith joins us from the pentagon. hi, jennifer. >> hi, gillian. senior u.s. defense officials believe putin's threat to pull out of the new start treaty is another example of nuclear saber rattling designed to spook the u.s. from supporting ukraine. new start is the last remaining post cold war u.s.-russia arms control treaty. experts warned it's been on life support for some time, limited visibility into nuclear arsenal in russia. putin canceled talks to revive

the treaty, barring warhead and missile inspections since the ukraine invasion. both sides have accused each other of violating the treaty, sets limits to the amount of nuclear weapons each side can field. allowed for regular on-site inspections and caps on deployed nuclear weapons, 700 icbms and 550 nuclear warheads. >> mr. president, any reaction to putin saying he's pulling out of new start? >> big mistake. >> what has the pentagon more worried than putin's words today is the increasing relationship between china and russia with china's top diplomat in moscow today laying the ground work for a visit by president xi. putin's announcement came during his state of the nation address. >> strategic defeat sneaking into our nuclear objects.

russia suspends participation in the new start treaty. repeat, does not abandon the treaty but suspends participation in it. >> we'll be watching carefully to see what russia actually does. >> today was the opening ceremony for joint naval drills between russia and china hosted by south africa, alarmed u.s. military officials. >> i do not believe that this is necessarily going to be at this point an arms race. however, i do believe that if things don't go putin's way he'll, you know, upgrade or start tests, he'll maybe modernize, there will be violations. >> despite putin's suspension of the new start treaty, u.s. officials believe russia will stick to the agreed limits on nuclear missiles and keep informing the united states about changes in its deployments. others warn it could be the start of a nuclear arms race. john, gillian.

>> gillian: jennifer griffin, thank you. team coverage continues with peter doocy live from warsaw, poland. what's the president up to now? >> right now he's aboard air force one probably watching this, after this trip where he came to eastern europe to show the world that nato stands strong. but on his way up the stairs the president did slip for a moment, losing his balance above, on air force one staircase. he is ok, as far as we know, and not too big of a distance from the point of this trip, to make nato look as tough as possible to russia and china who appear to be teaming up in ukraine. >> article 5 is a sacred commitment the united states has made. we will defend literally every inch of nato, every inch of nato, and this is an important

moment. >> russian officials are saying they welcome china's help in ukraine, as they meet in moscow, and it means china's top diplomat is defying or ignoring america's top diplomat. >> secretary blinken has had a candid discussion with his counterpart and made clear there would be ramifications and consequences. >> i was going through the comments president biden made in november when he had a three and a half in person meeting with xi, indonesia on the sidelines of the g20 and president biden walked out of there essentially saying that he and xi had a deep understanding of each other. they have known each other a long time, he thought they understood where they were coming from. if tony blinken is warning china's top diplomat not to do

this and china seems to go going forward anyway, that is going to be a problem president biden is going to have to solve when he gets home. gillian. >> gillian: peter doocy, live from warsaw, have a safe trip back here to d.c. john. >> john: bring in retired lieutenant colonel daniel davis, here is what the wall street journal editorial board said about putin's speech on tuesday, mr. putin's goal is unchanged. control most or all of ukraine and incorporate it into his greater russian empire. many in the u.s. and europe are ready to head to a negotiating table but mr. putin is not. the only settlement he has in mind is ukraine's surrender. do you agree with that assessment, and if so, what does the u.s. need to do at this juncture? >> no, there's no truth to that whatsoever. that's a bad rendering of what's going on. so-called peace plan that zelenskyy is pushing that many in the west are backing requires the complete surrender of russia

and abandoning of all the territory they have back to 1991 borders, which of course russia is not going to do. that's not really a peace plan anymore than russia saying if y'all quit fighting today the war can end. neither side has any interest in having a negotiated settlement because both sides think they can win. ukraine does because they think with all the support now bolstered by biden's visit here and russia because increasing industrial capacity where it's putting out more of its own stuff and potentially getting more things from china, he thinks that he can win, and both sides just do not believe they can survive their own population if they withdraw. so that leaves you with another tough year of fighting coming up, i'm afraid. >> john: you said lieutenant colonel, if china starts giving them stuff. emerging alliance between russia and china, so far has not involved lethal weapons but may in the future.

and what happens if china throws in. wall street journal said if russia receives arms from china, the war will descend to a bloodier stalemate or ukrainian defeat. absent more u.s. arms, it could have mr. putin, greater menace to europe, and the united states weaker. the suggestion the u.s. ha to give ukraine what it needs to win this fight. >> that exposes another problem throughout the west and lack of understanding of how war works. there's a belief that all we have to do is give them more modern nato equipment, tanks, artillery pieces, armored personnel carriers and just get enough, then they will win. but i'm trying to tell anyone to listen, just having nato equipment does not equal nato military capacity and ukraine is also bleeding out lots of men right now, and the fact is that over time that plays into

russia's favor, they have about 15 million more military-age males than ukraine does. ukraine does not have a limitless supply. they have had four levels of mobilization and they are right now grabbing people off the streets in some cases and they don't have too much more to go. so, i think that we have to be careful we don't push so hard for ukraine to keep trying to win they end up losing more than they have lost already and that's possible, john. >> john: if china does throw in with russia with lethal weapons, that would be a clear indication that xi jinping sees his future is tied more to russia than with the united states. yet the majority of our stuff as you put it comes from china. and likely will continue to do so. what do we need to do about that? if china has become not our strategic competitor as it was during the bush administration, and has become an adversary, don't we need to change where we get our stuff? >> well, i'm certainly an advocate of expanding our locations where we get items,

making our own, moving some of that facilities to the united states. so that we can minimize our strategic risk like this. but there's one other thing we have to recognize is that this is no longer the 1990s where china was weak and russia was basically a shell of a country. both are now much stronger there, and if we continue to, you know, push up against both of them and move more military power and threatening china with more military bases and saying we may go to war with them over taiwan, and then you know, everything in the world to help ukraine against russia, they are naturally going to come together. if we don't want that, we have to do things diplomatically to calm the situation down, maybe that means we don't get everything we want. if we press for everything we want, we may find this alliance becomes real. >> john: we'll see what happens going forward, hope it works out for the best. dan davis, always good to get your thoughts on things. thanks, a -- appreciate it.

>> john: if china were to invade taiwan, all the stuff we get from china, china closes the door on it. >> sandra: it's been a vulnerability for a couple decades now. >> john: why not bring it back here, at least to the hemisphere. >> gillian: and interesting to hear the colonel say there are limits to what they can buy you in war, generally, but more specifically in this case. >> john: so far it has worked out, and say in ukraine's favor, but worked out, russia has a bigger pool of personnel than ukraine does. >> gillian: and the demographic limitations. >> john: and russia just issued another call-up, and a quarter million people left the country to avoid it. p utin has some problems as well, he's not about to give up. >> gillian: that he certainly tried to make clear this week.

so, there's also this. a rancher accused of killing a migrant who crossed on to his property is in court today. he's claiming self-defense and his attorneys say border crisis politics are at play in this case. >> john: the race for 2024 is heating up. south carolina senator tim scott in iowa ramping up presidential rumors. marc thiessen will be here. >> he's got a compelling message and if he decides to get in, he'll be serious. i expect he and nikki haley to be contenders.

fighting for his freedom in a self-defense case that spotlights the border crisis. 73-year-old george allen kelly appeared in court where a judge

upheld his $1 million bond. he's charged with murdering a mexican migrant what crossed on to his property last month. the prosecution said it's simple, kelly shot an unarmed man in the back when he was fleeing, but kelly said the men were armed and insisted he only fired warning shots. defense blasted it as a political explosion. alicia, we learned a bit more about why prosecutors are pursuing charges in this case. >> yeah, we did, john, including the existence of at least two witnesses that the santa cruz county sheriff's department says that they interviewed regarding that fateful january 30th afternoon. george allen kelly was in court today as you mentioned in part to formally request he be released from jail while the case continues. the judge denied the motion maintaining the $1 million bond.

the defense attorney said he was not the aggressor when he fired warning shots, he claims they were armed, dressed in camouflage and one pointed a weapon at him. kelly says when he walked his land later that day, he found a 43-year-old mexican man shot to death. the prosecution has charged kelly with first-degree murder and aggravated assault. >> mr. kelly shot an unarmed man in the back in an unprovoked attack as he ran for his life. there was no warning and the victim was more than 100 yards from the defendant's residence when he was shot and killed. >> today the defense accused investigators are not properly vetting the two witnesses who were part of the group of eight people trespassing on the 74-year-old rancher's property and claims the sheriff's department charged first and investigated later. >> absolutely the least likely thing that happened in this case was that mr. kelly who a law

abiding citizen randomly decided to go outside of his house and start shooting at unarmed people. >> the defense's theory is the victim was killed by a drug trafficker and also says kelly is not associated with threats being made against the legal teams, the courthouse, and the judge, and john, they are all back in court this friday. john. >> john: alicia, the latest on that. thank you. gillian. >> gillian: well, we are keeping an eye on des moines, iowa, republican senator tim scott will take the stage next hour to kick off his faith in america tour. choice of location has folks buzzing he is now in fact laying the ground work for a 2024 run. what he said about that earlier today. >> i am here because i want to hear what folks here in iowa want to hear from elected officials. bottom line, as i hear more from the constituents here in iowa and around the country, it will give me more information on what to do next.

>> a bit of an artful dodge. talking with governor kim reynolds there. only one of them, nikki haley, there as an official candidate for president. fox news contributor marc thiessen to talk to all of it. tim scott's whole vibe, his whole ethos, and he's not a single issue candidate but he's very concerned with the tone and tenure of politics, and take the hate out of politics, he says the american people are over it. take a listen earlier. >> too often our country seems to be polarized whether it's black and white or red or blue. the truth is we are one american family and the more we focus on that unity that we have the better off the future makes. >> he may be right, but is it a winning platform in a primary

and in a general? >> well, we'll soon find out if he throws his hat in the ring. tim scott is a very compelling candidate, he's a great senator, he's tried to reach across the aisle and work with the democrats on police reform and they have kept him at arm's length, he's a conservative, and and a contender, and donald trump is not scaring the people from joining the field. i think a lot of people in this party think he's beatable, but i think the important thing is what governor chris sinunu said, everybody can get in, but should get out if they don't gain traction. the majority of republican voters want somebody other than donald trump to be the nominee, but if he presides over divided field he won in 2016 with a third of the vote.

he didn't get above 50% until the new york primary april 16th, so if people get in and stay in until the end, then he could do that as well. so, you have to catch a wave, but if you don't catch a wave, have the discipline to get out and let somebody else lead the charge. >> gillian: sometimes getting out of the game is the hardest thing to do. take a look, we have some previews of his remarks coming up next hour. he said this, for those of you on the left, you can call me a prop, call me a token, call me the n-word, you can question my blackness, you can even call me uncle tim. just understand your words are no match for my evidence, the truth of my life disproves your lies. if he does launch a campaign he is destined, sadly, to receive more race-based attacks similar to the ones he has received from his political opponents over the last few months. but so far he's been remarkably

adept at kind of harnessing those to his advantage. >> well, no doubt. it's not just, you know, not just these woke commentators on other networks that are going to be doing that. i mean, the democratic senators have said that about him. nancy pelosi said that his police reform bill was killing george floyd all over again. senator durbin said it was a token effort, later apologized for that. they use this language. anyone who is african american and has tim scott's experience but does not tow the left line has to be an uncle tim, as he phrased it. i don't think the majority of americans find that language appealing, i think they find tim scott appealing. interesting to see if he catches fire and if he does not as a presidential nominee, certainly a leading contender for vice president. >> gillian: the "new york times" had this out today, a new report

from democratic strategists looking at 2024, it finds both parties we don't need the call four for this, both parties have branding issues they need to work out. they claim factory town voters are branding the gop as standing with ceos and the wealthy and democrats as ineffective. what do you say to that? >> i think if the democratic party wanted to design a strategy to drive away working class voters they could not do better than today. start with east palestine. the president of the united states and secretary of transportation, a rail spill in a working class in ohio and they do not show up. president of the united states, school loan plan unleashes a plan to spend up to a trillion dollars to force blue collar workers who did not go to college to subsidize the white collar professionals. if there was never a sign the

democratic party is not the working party and elites, that's it. and blue collar workers can't, you go on and the woke issues and everything else. they are bleeding blue collar americans and they are doing a very good job of it. >> gillian: marc, we have to leave it there. thanks so much for joining us. >> take care. >> john: interesting to see what tim scott has to say coming up when he gives that big speech at 3:00 in the afternoon. but the racist attacks on him are despicable. and solely because he's a conservative. >> gillian: and because people are racist, both. >> john: that's true. >> gillian: cuts both ways. of course. so there's also this democrats are rolling out a plan to narrow the racial wealth gap. starts when kids are in diapers. how is it going to be subsidized? >> john: how is it going to be

paid for? tiktok and the spy craft, and buying up land, how are they going to get tough on china. larry kudlow next. >> they don't think much of us, they think we are chump, they flew the balloon over the width and breadth of the united states. don't fear us, don't respect us.

out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it. >> woman: why did we choose safelite? >> vo: for us, driving around is the only way we can get our baby to sleep, so when our windshield cracked, we needed it fixed right.

we went to safelite.com. there's no one else we'd trust. their experts replaced our windshield, and recalibrated our car's advanced safety system. they focus on our safety... so we can focus on this little guy. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. after years of chasing the big idaho potato truck... i finally caught it. oh man. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

impacts blacks and hispanic families. >> gillian: one tennessee county is joining a growing list of municipalities considering a reparations program of their own. shelby county, which is memphis, would use covid relief dollars. grady, how much of the covid funds are they planning to use? >> gillian, the proposal in shelby county, tennessee could take as much as $5 million and use it not to send checks in the mail for reparations, but create a reparations committee. the committee would then look into potentially creating a long-term reparations program. the vote could come as you ment mentioned as early as this afternoon. providence, rhode island is using $10 million in taxpayer money. the two programs are unique from the eight other cities and

states that have recently considered reparations programs because they are using or suggesting to use that pandemic relief money to fund them. one of the co-sponsors of that tennessee proposal defended using covid aid, telling fox business the city of memphis performed a disparity study in 1994 and 1 recently, several of the challenges from almost 30 years still exists. pandemic only intensified many of these already existing disparities, he says, but some in congress say that money should come right back here to the federal government. >> reparations is a topic very sensitive in our politics, wide disagreements on this topic. to use pandemic spending on something that congress did not vote for and approve for for localities to say they are going to repurpose the funds for this to me is outrageous, that should not occur. >> congressman donalds says that

money could be used to pay down the national debt, which now sits at 31.5 trillion, gillian, and climbing. >> gillian: grady trimble on capitol hill, thank you. >> john: time for larry kudlow, and back to the top story as russia and china reaffirm their partnership, tensions are boiling over with the u.s. critics say biden's weak policies are emboldening america's adversaries, including the next guest who says we have neither peace nor strength. larry, you had a column out on foxnews.com that suggested this situation in ukraine could have been avoided if president biden had embraced policies that kept the u.s. economy strong, if he had embraced peace through strength mantra. >> i think there's a couple pieces to it, john. thank you. look at, peace through strength, we have neither peace nor strength right now. i mean, the economy is very weak.

last year it grew by 1%, inflation rate is 6.5% last year at one point it was almost 10%. look, china sees that. russia sees that. reagan not only argued peace through strength, but said if you are strong at home, you are strong abroad. but if you are weak at home, you are weak abroad. we are in position of weakness right now. i believe china, in fact, thinks the united states is in decline. i don't believe that, frankly, i think this administration's policies, big government policies of overspending and regulating and taxing and inflating, i think that's the problem. i don't think it's endemic to the country. the other point i want to say is, biden's war on fossil fuels continues to help vladimir putin finance this crazy ukraine war. ok. here are the numbers. russia is still selling about 10

million barrels of oil. the sanctions have not stopped it. i mean, whatever slack is happening from europe or maybe the u.s. is being picked up by china, and india, as you well know. all right. look at. the average oil price in round numbers, call it $80 a barrel, 10 million barrels, that's $800 million for his war machine. during the trump years precovid, the average price was around 50 or $60 a barrel. i'll call it 60. so, here is the difference. 600 million barrels, $600 million to russia from their 10 million sales, now it's 800 million. that difference, john, is $200 million. that's -- he's playing with house money. it's not his money. it's money coming from the u.s. because what, because we cut back on fossil fuels, because we financed out of spro, damaged

our national security. if we were pumping 13, 14, 15 million barrels a day, what the estimates were several years ago, the oil price would be about 45, 50, and putin wouldn't have his house money to wage war in ukraine. i think it's that simple. >> john: the situation is as it is at this moment, the question, what do we do about it. you cited mark esper who said this about the administration, what is lacking is a clear sense of how washington wants this conflict to end and then resourcing that income. i mean, it does seem like the outcome -- president biden says we want ukraine to gain back its territory yet we are not giving it the armaments it needs to do that. what are we doing? >> that's a very important question. a lot of chest thumping by mr. biden and his team, but what are we doing, how far are we going to take this. this is a very difficult story.

look, everybody wants freedom for ukraine, international rule of law, wants sovereign borders, i think everyone does except maybe chinese balloons over ours. the point is how far are we going to take it before we have diplomatic peace talks. former president trump has been calling very publicly for diplomatic peace talks, ok. other people have said that. it's not a defeatist position. you tell me. are the russians going to be pushed out of eastern ukraine, i would love to see it, john. what are the probabilities? they are not high. ukrainians are brave, zelenskyy has proven to be a great leader, heroic people, they keep two-thirds, three-quarters of their country, they are not going to put russia out of crimea or the eastern part of ukraine. somebody has to think this through.

what might some kind of deal look like. we can't put $100 billion every year, that's what they are going to ask for, maybe even more. >> john: it's a big piece of change. >> biden is always a day late and dollar short. look at, even -- even that, we don't know how that money is being spent, we don't have enough supervision over that money, i mean, look, you love ukraine. >> john: ukrainians claim it's going where it's supposed tochlt>> i don't want to doubt that. you can love ukraine and ukrainian freedom, but in international politics you have to be realistic. i don't want to sound defeatist, just saying somebody should put their head on and let's think this through. where are we going here. >> john: see you at 4:00 this afternoon on fox business.

>> gillian: here is a twist on the story of kids moving back home with their parents. turns out that these days it's actually parents who are moving in with their kids. they are calling it the reverse boomerang effect, happening more often as parents decide to move in with their kids at younger and younger ages. economists say it's about high housing and childcare costs but also family life at play here. >> john: my older daughter lives in napa. i would not mind moving in with her. i would love to spend a little time in wine country. >> gillian: i would love to know what she says about that. >> john: stay where you are. you love washington, d.c. in minnesota, freezing weather and heavy snowfall are causing officials to plead people to stay off the roads. live from the land of 10,000

>> gillian: it's been nearly three weeks now since that toxic train derailment in ohio but not until today the transportation department announced secretary pete buttigieg will visit the

area tomorrow. throughout, the people of east palestine say they have been looking for answers. our next guest joined us last week and shared his concerns for the safety of his animals and the well on his property. he's right now awaiting well water test results and frustrations with the government response are growing. russell, thanks for taking time with us this afternoon. appreciate it. i want to first ask you how you are doing, how you are feeling. >> thanks for having me. doing, never really understood what the word anxiety meant until these last few weeks. doing ok. symptoms, bad headache today, eye sockets are sore, scratching throat, you know, i don't sound quite like myself. the smell is still in the air, and the rainbow color snot is

still in the soil and coming down leslie run. so that -- that's about it for now. >> gillian: i'm sorry to hear about the simms to. can you tell us a bit about your animals? i know last week you told us you were concerned for fish on the property, you were concerned about your horse, how are they holding up? >> the horse is doing better, you know. he, with the steroids and the antihistamine and my wife is crushing up 10, 12 zyrtecs a day, and the vet report was environmental, not knowing all the chemicals on the grass, and of course he had diarrhea. the dogs were lethargic for a few days and throwing up. it's just -- this is horrible, and you read a few articles and there's a thing called persistent bioacumulative toxins

or pvts and this stuff is everywhere. it's going to be on the crop yields, the sweet corn that you eat, the hay that a horse or a cow eats and if you ingest the cow or the milk, the pvts are in your system. this is huge. biggest onland spill ever in the united states. we got a long road ahead of us, and i don't know if it's even a fight we can fight, but i'll tell you, the only thing good business-wise would be if you are printing out real estate signs in the area. >> gillian: talk to us about this well water test. i understand that right now you are still awaiting the results. what do you hope to learn from the test and what do you think you are going to learn? >> good gosh. i hope to learn that the water's ok. i've been talking to a lot of

outside labs, talked to a very good chemist up in clarion, p.a., and he set me at ease. he said if the health department is shadowing norfolk southern water tester that i should confident in what they tell me. now, that was a test on sunday. the, you know, what's it going to be six weeks from now. this stuff has to go somewhere. we are talking on the 11 cars from the epa report, what was burnt and lost out of them cars they listed in pounds, and the pounds is 1.167 million pounds and i'm no chemist and i'm not a math person, but i know water weighs almost eight pounds a gallon. so do the math. we are talking ten and a half million gallons of liquid plus the 400,000 gallons of water that the fire company put on the
