>> todd: a fox news alert, the white house just moments ago announcing brand-new $2 million aid package to ukraine as the war enters the second year. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> ashley: a.m. ashley strohmier. president biden prepares to be virtually with g-7 leaders and zelenskyy, one year after russia launched full-scale invasion of its neighbor and this terrifying moment happened live on the air

at thisim too. >> steve: todd, we just -- whoa, large explosion two miles behind me. black smoke coming up. any idea what that was? probably a missile. we've heard reports that russia says they are using precision-guided missiles. we've heard a large number of strikes in the pre-dawn hours for the last hour or so. it's been quieter. can you come out here and show that smoke. we'll try to show the gray smoke coming up, just bear with us, this is live tv and we're trying to move a camera. thanks, dallas. you can see in the distance black smoke coming up. we don't know what was hit, it is assumed these are russian missiles targeting command and control centers in ukraine and

air defenses in ukraine. >> todd: steve harrigan joins us one year later from that same location in kyiv. steve. >> steve: todd, one year ago the general thinking was russia would come in and take this capital within three days, russia thought that and u.s. intelligence, as well. instead what we saw was zelenskyy in the center of the streets talking to his troops, marking the one-year of the war. they will do everything possible to make sure ukraine wins war within this year. >> you enjoyed february and this year and who gives ukraine glory to all who are in battle. >> steve: to help that effort, the u.s. announcing another $2 billion in military aid to

ukraine, amnigsz for high mars, artillery pieces that have been so effective on the battlefield and more kamikaze drones. the u.s. has provided $50 billion in financial and military aid to ukraine since the war started, enabling ukraine to take back half of the territory russia seized and they control about 16%, russia does, down to about 24% of the country. ukraine wants to get that to zero, that is their goal. anxiety and fear across the country today, zelenskyy warned russia could launch attacks to mark the two year. back to you. >> todd: steve, thank you.

bring in robert charles, former naval intel officer. robert, we are giving another $2 billion to ukraine, that brings the overall total in the hundreds of billions of dollars. as a navy guy, the navy secretary just said we cannot meet the threat that china naval build-up poses, unless we ramp up. robert, why are we giving more money to fight somebody else's war when we need to build up our own defenses to protect our country. >> todd and ashley, great question and it directs itself to whether this administration is focused on national security. if you take the numbers and numbers are illustrative of where we're at. china has 290 ships, china has 340 today headed for 400 over

the next two or three years. last year this administration decommissioned about 25 ships and commissioned about nine. we have no new fighters, no f-18s, no new f-35s, even though they have begin to wear. and looking for decrease of 10,000 sailors next year. we have cut back ship-ic maing capability. i think the budget last year for biden was 27 billion for ship building and we've given 66 billion to ukraine, it does put the bright light on the question, are we protecting america? >> ashley: i have a question, i look at this differently than most did. with this 2 billion, ammunition artillery shells, it is not a check they can do whatever they want with it. if we are sending military

equipment to ukraine and not in a dollar amount, do you think the biden administration is setting this up in way to be transition for american boots on the ground in ukraine? >> i sure hope not. on the plus side, we're obviously trying to push russia back and russia is launching cruise missiles from 160 bombers not over ukrainian space. i guess i'm favorable to the idea we're putting hardware on the ground that is defensive and capable and i don't think thatten moo -- means we will put u.s. troops on the ground. it seems to be a war of attrition and it is draining our inventory. we have to be prepared to fight a two-front war.

nato could be involved and we could simultaneously be engaged in a conflict in the pacific. you have flagged officers telling the american people we could be in battle with china and whether that is spratley islands or taiwan, doesn't matters, we have to be prepared. this administration gives us headlines about wokeness, you don't win war with wokeness. >> ashley: we heard when russian president putin gave his speech, he knows that is going on in the west because he made a point in his speech to talk about it. robert charles, thank you, we appreciate it. >> always a pleasure. >> ashley: absolutely. to alex murdaugh taking the stand in his double murder trial against the advice of his own attorneys. we have the shocking moments

next. >> i didn't shoot my wife or my son any time ever, i would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them.

>> ashley: an emotional alex murdaugh taking the stand in his

double murder trial against the advice of his own attorneys. >> did you lie to the agents on the follow-up interview on june tenth that last time you saw maggie and paul was at dinner? >> i did lie to them. >> you lied to them by telling them that you were not down in the kennels on that night? >> yes. i didn't shoot my wife or my son any time ever. i would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them. >> ashley: just jeanine pirro gave insight into whether she thinks it was a good idea for him to testify. >> i am sorry to mags and paul. thatt means he is basically saying to them, i didn't intentionally do anything to hurt you. he is creating premise for down

charge, he is charged with intentional murder, there is a discussion about what jury will charge, we want manslaughter. he said he didn't intentionally hurt either one of them. >> ashley: set to resume at 9:30 a.m. >> todd: taking legal action to get kim gardner out of office, after she refused to resign over a car crash involving a teen athlete who lost her legs, the crash caused by an armed robbery suspect who should have been on house arrest. steve elmen joins us now. we have been reporting on kim gardner's failures for years now, in this case, this suspect should have been behind bars 40

times. over 40 times and kim gardner and her office let this guy off the hook. why? why did this case break the camel's back and led you to say, we got to get rid of her now? >> some of us have been working toward that end for quite sometime. it is only in the last week or so that i think we've really captured the imagination of the public here and as you said, it's been six years since she's been in office. this is your typical situation where a progressive democrat in a liberal city has taken over and declared war on the police. that has had profound effect on a lot of families. many murders have not been solved because the police are afraid to do their job, because they have to use force against someone, they are afraid the

prosecutor would go ahead and prosecute them instead of the bad guys. that has been going on for sometime and the problem that many of us in the region have, the region in many ways rises and falls with the reputation of the city of st. the city has 300,000 people in the region, when the blues win the stanley cup or cardinals win a pennant or world cities, we're proud of the city of st. loshg uis and now this high profile case makes the prosecutor and the city and therefore to some extent, the entire region look like we don't care about the value of human life. >> todd: it is a sad case, steve, kim gardner is fighting back, take a listen.

>> the attorney general, as others, use this unfortunate incident and tragic happening to this young lady as a political stunt of an unelected individual who wants to use politics to one, stop the voice of the people in the city of st. louis. >> todd: your response? >> steve: yes, she is elected and that is why it has taken those that would like to see someone else in the job, why it has taken so long to get a change. god bless the attorney general for taking the step he took yesterday, the speaker of the house and other republicans in jefferson city have been working the entire session now since january on a bill that would allow the governor to appoint special prosecutors to do the job she's being paid to do and simply has not done.

and as far as performance yesterday, absolutely refuses to address the issue, which is crime in the city, which is tragedy for people who live there and the last weekend this young lady. it is affecting the entire region. >> todd: you wonder if residents will ever feel safe as long as she is there. steve, thank you for your time this morning. pennsylvania county ending status as sanctuary. >> ashley: we'll speak to the lawmaker behind the bold move next. after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. stand up to your symptoms with rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill

that tackles pain, stiffness, swelling. for some, rinvoq significantly reduces ra and psa fatigue. it can stop further irreversible joint damage. and rinvoq can leave skin clear or almost clear in psa. that's rinvoq relief. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least one heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. rinvoq. make it your mission. learn how abbvie could help you save.

>> todd: florida governor ron desantis proposing new bill to ensure people who vote are u.s.

citizens. >> our bill will require when you register to vote, that you affirm or swear under penalty of perjury you are a united states citizen. if you check that box and you're not, you are opening yourself up to prosecution. >> todd: florida has prosecuted voters who were not lawfully in the u.s. and caste ballots. >> ashley: new york city hospitals shelling out 93 million to house migrants. the plan follows agreement with mayor eric adams to manage and operate what he calls migrant humanitarian response and release centers. the nyc health ceo approved payments to hotels, including 40 million to the row, which reportedly threw away 1000 pounds per month because migrants didn't like it. $20 million going to the watson

hotel, where migrants staged a protest last month. >> todd: pennsylvania successfully terminating designation as a sanctuary county. >> ashley: a pennsylvania state lawmaker joins us now. good morning, this was a very bold move, what is the community saying about it? >> good morning. it's been overwhelmingly positive. this is something our county wanted for a long time since 2014 when this issue first arose. >> todd: 57 fentanyl overdoses happened in butler county, pennsylvania and texas and arizona not very close, why were you a sanctuary city in the first place? >> isn't that something, you would never think of butler county or pennsylvania as a border state. it seems borders don't matter anymore. we are seeing increases in

fentanyl deaths and trafficking. i think the issue arose from overcompensation. the case came out of pennsylvania and adjoining states and said it is unconstitutional to hold somebody on ice detainer absent a warrant and i think counties got gun shy and over compensated with prison board policy and result was a policy that didn't reflect our intention as county or our practices. >> todd: hopefully neighboring counties will follow. thank you so much. now to fox weather alert. southern california in for a wild weather weekend, heavy rain, rain, blizzard conditions and hurricane formals winds. national weather service issuing first blizzard warning ever for

san diego and the first in 34 years for the city of l.a. the iconic hollywood sign is surrounded by sleet. portland residents abandoning cars after being stuck for hours. >> ashley: in milwaukee, heavy snow caused garage to collapse and the ice storm leaves hundreds of understand thises without power. michigan residents getting hit with 723,000 powerless on this freezing morning. i've never been more grateful to be in new york with none of this. >> adam: that is quite the intro. lining up on each coast, on the east coast, tailend of this system, you see what is happening in the west and that will last over the next couple days. that system we were tracking coming to an end, a little snowfalling in new york,

interior new england, where we saw snow over the last 24 hours. we're on the backside of that system and focus shifting to the west. talking about winter storm warnings stretching up and down california. southern california, everything in orange, those are blizzard warnings, where you do not typically see blizzard warnings and further down south, as well. round after round of heavy rain and when you get elevation off the coast, turns into snow pretty quickly and could be a lot of snow. you see the deep orange colors, we're talking two to three feet of snow in some locations just outside of los angeles and sierra, nevada. a ton of snow and along the coast, if you are in spots not talking about snow over the course of the weekend. areas getting three to five to six inches of rain, not a lot of place for rain to go there, you

talk about mud slides and flooding. this is a big system, guys, one we'll pay attention to. you don't talk about this ever. >> todd: big bear supposed to have snow, dodger stadium is not, that is what we're dealing with. >> ashley: thank you, adam. transportation secretary pete buttigieg finally made it to east palestine, ohio and he didn't calm too many nerves, we have the latest on the toxic disaster. >> none of which is benefit to the community -- sorry, lost my train of thought. at adp, we understand business today looks nothing like it did yesterday. while it's more unpredictable, its possibilities are endless. from paying your people from anywhere to supporting your talent everywhere, we use data driven insights to design hr solutions and services to help businesses of all size work smarter today. so, they can have more success tomorrow.

was taking pains to upon are the role i have and do not have. >> brooke: pete buttigieg addressed what he thinks the next steps should be, improving rail regulation and holding norfolk southern accountable. he was quick to ignore questions on the federal government's lack of urgency, press secretary stepping in refusing to answer questions most are asking. watch this. >> mayor pete, why did it take you weeks to get here, will you apologize to the residents of the city for the slow response, to the government's slow response, do you have any apology? >> i'm the press secretary -- >> why did it take three weeks to get here? >> i don't want to be on camera. >> don't you think you should answer questions from the american public? >> i want to be without the

camera. >> brooke: ntsb is expected to hold a hearing on the derailment. >> ntsb will hold a rare investigative field hearing this spring in east palestine. we don't have investigative hearings often, it is rare. but we will question invited witnesses. >> ashley: people from east palestine say they need answers and aid now. >> just like every meeting they are trying to have here, we never get answers. everybody gets the go-around, it is nothing, they are not doing anything. i was told fema was supposed to be here and there is no fema anywhere. >> brooke: 15,000 pounds of contaminated sand has been remove said from it is site. >> todd: audience members on

recall cantrell. thank you for being with us. there were 280 homicides in 2022, highest since 1996. my question, do you think this will be the end of the mayor's reign in new orleans? >> yes, i do think it will be the reign of the mayor end in new orleans. new orleans is in you believe tr. we're in dire need of a leader and as far as i'm concerned, the mayor's seat is vacant. >> ashley: let's talk about your mayor, i believe this crowd she was giving the bird to a crowd at mardi gras, watch this. >> [indiscernible] -- >> ashley: okay, you see that there, she gave the middle

finger to the crowd. how does that make you feel that is how your mayor is treating people who came there to have a good time? >> it is very heartbreaking to see a mayor doing that and carrying on like that, but the mayor is vin dickative and thinks that is all right to do that. that is not being a good role model to young women, young girls or just being role model of a city as mayor. you had no reason to do that. >> ashley: right. my question, has new orleans always been dangerous? i feel like any big city, you have to watch your back no matter where you go, but as of late, i feel like new orleans, if you are thinking between two different places, you don't go to new orleans. do you think this problem lies on the mayor, do you think it is all her fault? >> yes, i do think it is all the mayor's fault, the police is

broken, number one. the mayor went in the courthouse to sit with a carjacker, when you look at the crime, the mayor hasn't done nothing about the crime. this crime is out of control. look at 1996, 1997, mayor mark moore and richard pendleton came up with a plan. the crime rate was high and they cut murdered to 190-something and we don't even have a crime plan in the city of new orleans. we have been asking the mayor for a plan, we asked internal chief for a crime plan. the chief that retired, shawn ferguson, we haven't saw a plan and the mayor has not said nothing about the crime and we are number one in the capital for -- >> ashley: it is getting pretty

>> ashley: energy cost increasing year over year in january as electricity bills are up nearly 12% and fuel, oil and natural gas up nearly 30%, but the biden administration claims it is putting money back in people's pockets. >> we have reduced heating and electricity bills, so folks have more money to buy school supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation. >> todd: cheryl casone is here with more. i do not see the extra dollars of which kamala harris speaks. >> cheryl: there are fewer dollars in your pockets.

electricity bills up 12%, fuel, oil and natural gas up, as well. you heard kamala harris, energy experts say her commentses were misleading, in fact, more low-income americans are looking for energy assistance now versus last year and home prices on average, 12.7% higher. you spoke with a california business owner to talk about high prices. >> we got to pull it from somewhere, either from me or out of the cost or raise prices to the client. we can't keep raising prices, everybody looks at the bill, last time it was $20 and now it is $30 to $39, something is wrong. >> cheryl: we do thecpireport,

diversity and representation is important to this president and we're going to look at, the president will look at highly diverse work economists, just as we did for the previous fed nomination, we'll continue the process. >> cheryl: it is about diversity. katie pavlich tweeted this, next fed chair will be hired not on experience with monetary policy, good luck, america. elon musk replied and said maximum skill is extremely important in this role, bad fed decision affects the lives of everyone. >> todd: checking the box approach has gone swimmingly for this administration so far, why change now, that was sarcasm. dc going out of way not to lockup criminals, but to increase the challenge level on

crimes like this is some video game. >> cheryl: instead of dealing with criminals, this is the plan from mayor muriel bowser, i encourage dc residents two own a kia or hyundai to pick up their free steering wheel lock as soon as possible to prevent theft. 31% of all car thefts in washington were kia and hyundais, that is why she is mentioning this make and model of cars. instead of arresting carjackers, protest yourself and your car. >> todd: and bend over backward to figure out border solutions, just close the border. in this situation, just but the bad guys in jail. >> ashley: cheryl casone, thank you. republicans are back at the border, they just held a field hearing and got a first-hand look at the migrant crisis.

>> ashley: ahead of this hearing congressman jim jordan and a dozen other republicans were given a tour of the yuma section. they got to see a section of the border wall that cuts off into nothingness. there were more than 310,000 illegal crossings last year. the highest number ever reported in the sector. almost triple that than 2021. looking at the arizona as the a whole, 571,000 migrant encounters in fiscal year 2022. to date this year, almost 186,000. yesterday, house republicans also met with the only local hospital in yuma, they say they're on the verge of financial collapse after having to spend more than $20 million in six months caring for migrants who can't pay. >> it is an unsustainable model to have a hospital like ours bear the entire burden of paying for migrant healthcare. migrant patients are receiving no care they have no ability to pay. we have no ability to bill anyone. we don't know their final destination. we don't know anything about them. >> they say it's a matter of resources as well. this month the hospital's

maternity ward reached capacity next closest hospital is more than 60 miles away. ashley, todd? >> ashley: the hospital is going typically employed if they don't watch it. they cannot sustain that thank you. let's bring in ben cline who is still down in still down in arizona. you know the tour was wednesday, you were there. we actually have video showing you touring at the border. the hearing was last night. we know there were residents who were talking to you guys and giving their firsthand account of what they are dealing with what did they tell you? >> well, todd and ashley, it's great to be with you. i wish the democrats on the judiciary committee could have been with us because they would have seen the impact waves of migrants have had not on heroic system and beds and hospital but on education system with a farmers who we talk to about the impact on their crops. it's bad enough if they knew what is going on down here. gosh, it's really really bad and they needed to see it.

>> todd: congressman, as we show video of webs night's walk through. take us through your experience. what did you see? what did you feel? >> well, at the wall you just see huge gaps. and when you think about the fact during the last year of the trump administration they had 8,000 migrant encounters during the first year of the biden administration they had 100,000 migrant encounters in yuma sector and this past year they had 300,000. it's getting out of control. and the people we talk to are having their safety, their personal safety impacted. their kids' education and lives impacted. and it's just really overflowing across the country so that every community is now a border community. >> ashley: congressman, we see these videos, we hear these firsthand accounts of what's going on at the border. my question to you is why couldn't president biden have flown down to the border. he made his way all the way over to kyiv and ukraine. he went to poland. i'm sure the flight would have been much shorter and cheaper to

american taxpayer dollars to fly down there. how often is the g.o.p. in contact with the white house saying you guys really need to get down here. we need help at this border, we need funding? >> listen, ours doors are open on the house judiciary committee. jim jordan and the rest of the committee are ready to work with this white house to secure our border. to say make sure we reform our asylum laws. make sure we restore title 42. remain in mexico becomes a priority and we build a wall and invest in technology and over things that are necessary to secure this border. >> todd: congressman, pretty shameful that not one democrat was there. how can democrats say they are serious about border, securing the border, the border crisis at large when they dismiss republican efforts, their words, as a political stunt? >> it's not a stunt, they talk about education. let's talk about the impact of 300,000 migrants on education down here and education in all of our schools, english as a

second language courses, hiring teachers. they talk about healthcare. let's talk about the impact of 300,000 migrants here on the healthcare system. hospitals at risk. all of our hospitals have beds that could be going to a community members being taken up by illegal immigrants and costing our hospitals and our taxpayers money. >> ashley: if something doesn't change in yuma, especially when you talk about the hospital and you talk about yuma regional medical when which we have been talking about for monthsen spentsing upwards of $20 million in month. that was the number we saw a month and a half ago. what is going to happen to this hospital if people cannot get the medical care that they need? s that scweacketly right they are not getting the care they need. if you have a woman who has baby that needs a nicu bed and the nearest bed is not available in yuma. you have to go 100 miles to phoenix. that's a terrible, terrible impact on a new mother, on a newborn baby to get the help they need.

it really does need the attention of the white house and of both parties. not just republicans who were there on the scene but democrats who were absent. >> todd: yeah. you hear this migrant care cost being labeled as unsustainable by that ceo. how long though, congressman, before medical care in all 50 states is compromised because resources are going to illegal migrants instandard of citizens? >> yeah. you just talked to people in my neck of the woods in virginia where troopers are pulling over vans full of migrants being trafficked and drugs being trafficked in our communities. people dying from fentanyl. education systems, healthcare systems being overloaded and that's virginia. you talk about yuma, arizona, it's unsustainable and we really do need to take action now. >> really quickly before we let you go. you were down at the border. you saw it. you are in arizona right now. you mentioned the wall. would the wall prevent a lot of this from happening? 10 seconds. >> wall would do a lot toward preventing it from hang it.

would funnel people toward border protection and keeping people in arizona or in mexico while they await their asylum hearing. that's the solution we need. >> todd: also maybe democrats showing up to one of these hearings would be helpful as well. congressman ben klein cline joig us. >> ashley: thank you. another good week my friend. >> ashley: thank you. with that "fox & friends" starts right now. see you monday. ♪ ♪ >> todd: the white house set to announce new sanctions as russia's war enters its second year. >> polling shows 50% say the u.s. should support ukraine as long as it takes. >> biden is pulling out of afghanistan with no plan and, yet, getting more deeply involved in ukraine. >> this was 100 percent preventable. >> buttigieg finally touching down in east palestine be a ash and addressing his delayed response. >> i feel sprongly about this and could have expressed that sooner. >> i didn't shoot my wife. >> murdaugh back on the stand. >> bret: murdaugh admitted lying but insisting he did not kil
