nyquil severe: ♪ pete: that is daytona beach, florida. will and i and january and all the kids were on the beach and that spot there and last weekend on this day for a little bit we try to wander around the beach and have a drink.

rachel: showing up for dinner a little bit too happy. pete: maybe, yeah. rachel: i look at that picture and wonder why we left. will: that was a rough show on sunday. rachel: for you. pete seems to be able to weather the circumstances. pete: it was a great show on sunday. proper nutrition. glad you're here and welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning, february 25th, year of our lord 20, 23, and we always enjoy -- 2023 and we always enjoy reuniting in new york. will: russia's war on ukraine enters it z second year, president biden is hitting moscow with new sanctions. rachel: they'll target 200 individuals around the world supporting the kremlin's war efforts as well as russian financial institutions. pete: didn't prevent it in the first place, see if it does now. we're joined live from kyiv. >> that's right president biden meeting virtually with members

from the g7 and new economic sanctions from russia and administration officials say these new sanctions will seriously impact russia's ability to continue to wage war and here's admiral kirby. >> these new sanctions today are expected to pack a punch. how are they going to be different from the sanctions roll out. >> not much different and certainly more intense here and going after mr. putin's war-making machine. >> increased concerns about china's potential role and china can begin to provide lethal aid to russia and artillery and ammunition and what they desperately need and they have their own peace plan that's been dismissed out of the hands of president bide and g7 leadersers and would include a ceasefire and end to all sanctions against

russia and here's president biden. >> what are you going to do? >> [inaudible]. >> along with the new sanctions against russia, the biden administration announced additional $2 billion in aid for ukraine and much of the aid in forms of artillery and drones, which have both been very effective on the front and east. so far the u.s. has provided $50 billion in financial and military aid to ukraine since the start of the war. guys, back to you. rachel: thank you, steve. pete: thanks, steve. appreciate it. rachel: the sanctions against the specific russian companies and olekowski gashings and the widow of -- oligarks and the

mayor of yuri and baterina and she's given money to the bidens and she's been left off of that list. pete: john keystone lake by was saying we're go -- kirby was saying we're going after putin's war-making machine and cut to a picture of xi jinping and vladamir putin. so vladamir putin is shifting to china to xi jinping saying you can be my new war making machine if necessary and will and i will do an off the wall next hour about the growing relationship between china and russia. so as we squeeze -- as we blow up pipelines they now know about and introduce sanctions, moscow is cozying up china more. rachel: we know that could and would wap.

will: and dangerous. take a look, united states now koenenal contribution appropriated by congress from u.s. to ukraine reached $113 billion. we need a bit of a break down on that. unit given $32 billion in direct security funding to ukraine. now let's compare that to other countries. $8.3 billion by the uk, germany $6.16 billion, canada $4, poland $3.5 billion. you can see united states far in a way leads those contributing to ukrainian defense and i was looking up what the ukrainian total budget was for their own expenditures and ukraine's 2022 budget was about $48.5 billion u.s. dollars and you're looking at united states and we'll see over what time frame that money is distributed. it's not necessarily all in one year, but ukraine is running a deficit at that number anyway

but, you know, people have referred to ukraine as a climate state and see these with their own budget capabilities, hard not to come to a similar conclusion. pete: very much so. if the continent of europe is under threat and beef the world war ii -- i believe we're in more of a world war i scenario than world war ii. this could be world war iii and looks like world war ii and vladamir putin would love to go all across europe, france should be spending more than $1.6 billion and poland should be spending more than $3.5 billion. i believe the countries know they're not under threat. they don't -- they know the united states will bankroll it and the scarier part of it is it looks a lot more to me like world war i than ii where over time alliances continue to build and form and that's where one mistake, one miscalculation and one escalation leads to a retaliation and pretty soon you're in a place where are we fighting russia and china over

donbas in ukraine and barely funding it compared to what we are? we're not there yet and feels like the more we fund and push and escalate, we're not doing f16s yet but might we be soon in the more likely to a wider conflict. rachel: john holly the senator of missouri saying the republican party has a choice to make and democrats all in on ukraine and republican party is divided and there are prominent members saying this is insane. not just the money, will, but also the results like that we're actually making our world more dangerous and actually making it more likely that we're going to have world war iii by spending this money. he says that the republican party needs to decide what kind of party they want to be when it comes to ukraine. listen. >> joe biden and let's face it congressional republicans have spend over $100 billion and counting on the ukraine war and

meanwhile the folks in east palestine have poison in the water, poison in the air, it's clear our infrastructure in this country is crumbling and what is this administration doing about it? frankly what is congress doing about it? not a whole heck of a lot. i think that's a stark contrast and i would say to republicans, listen, you can either be the party of ukraine and the globalist or be the party of east palestine and the working people of this country but it's time to say to the europeans, no more welfare for europeans. let the europeans take the lead on europe. it is time to put the working people of this country first to make those folks strong again and to make this country strong again. rachel: if we were spending the money to be safer globally and national security was being improved and i might justify this and i feel less safe since we made this investment in this country. will: you pointed out the figures and saying if france was worried or poland was worried they should up their own spending and my take away is they're not worry that had the

united states will step up in the other place and listen to senator hawley there and saying if europe is heading down the path of inevitable conflict and world war i and then those countries that have historically been able to stand up for themselves in those scenarios and there's always been united states intervention and can rely on their own budget to do so. it's not that the united states needs to become isolationist. i think -- i don't think america first means isolation. i think it's always through the prism of what serves america first. when you look at east palestine and the answer that has for example florida governor ron desantis launching a presidential campaign and he'll run for president but it's his responsibility to articulate his vision of foreign policy and how would he handle this and america first means hey, listen, this is

european problem and we're complete isolationists but maybe step up and handle your problems first. pete: that's exactly right and that's the point donald trump made and if we have an alliance with nato, your should pay their share and be involved and not piggy back on us 70 years after world war ii. you're exactly right and the dynamics of the republican process. we know where donald trump stands and he's been clear about that as it pertains to ukraine. nikki haley has a different view and pompeo might have a different view but the real dark horse in this is ron desantis. what position does he take because there are not many issues which donald trump and ron desantis would have a different view on per se. this might be one of them and the question is where is the base of the republican party on that and how does ron desantis articulate? will: many people like what ron desantis has done for the governor of florida, domestic policy, but the president of the united states has a whole nother huge, primary job requirement and that's foreign policy and that's nothing to know from

being outside of some instances of handling issues on illegal immigration and we know how desantis would handle these types of issues and would have to articulate his vision of american foreign policy. rachel: that's a good point. one last thing is that china has stepped forward with a 12-point plan saying we want to negotiate a settlement to what's going on in ukraine between ukraine and russia and joe biden has said there's never going to happen and in fact he says that's not rational. zelensky and we've given all this money to him and supposedly our client state is calling for a summit with xi. defining the president who's funding him and saying we want the chinese to potentially negotiate this settlement very interesting things happening and it looks like china has become more powerful and more prominent and more attractive to all kinds of countries including ones we're bankrolling.

pete: if we want peace, we should be leading that process. rachel: a florida teacher is on leave for making white students bow down to black students in the classroom. pete: you got that right. the middle schoolteacher sharing the bizarre skit on social media saying it was about black history. >> yeah, the teacher that posted the video and went viral by the account of tiktok and struck a nerve due to showcasing the young white students fawning and feeding, bowing to their black peers and the teacher said it was in good fun and no political agenda behind it and the video was being misused and i'm deeply apologetic towards the students studentsand parents and students involved and those not involved. some of the students said they wanted to participate in the activity but the orange county public school district in florida drew a line there writing in a statement starting with, we will not tolerate the use of our children as political

pawns by anyone including a classroom teacher. they went onto detail possible punishments that would happen if that were the case and frustrations that a california school district for providing student withs a work sheet that divides children into privileged and non-privileged categories, include in the types of oppression were racism, adultism, and heterosexism. big changes though in higher education and the board at the university of north carolina has voted to ban political preference and diversity and inclusion statements in their hiring and emissions process writing "the university shall neither vis it or require a -- solicit or require a employee for academic admission or employee to affirmatively prescribe or affirm to believes in principles and regarding matters of contemporary possible debate and admission, employment, or professional advancement and merit over diversity highlighted in texas

where the university of texas included equity, diversity, and inclusion bill there. that is to essentially rid universities of courses that are instructed with an ideological and political filter. we're see ago lot of changes, especially in higher education and in lower schools, some apologies being made. pete: alexandria, thank you for the report. i want to put you on the spot because i heard something. what is adultism? do you know? >> i was kind of concerned when i saw that and i don't know. i was almost scared to see the definition of that. we know ageism; right. but i'm a little nervous and i'll report back on that one. pete: we'll check in on that. will: adultism. pete: does is mean adult haves privilege over kids? will: i don't know. maybe. sorry, alexandria. thank you. you cannot keep up. rachel: no, which is why ron desantis is trying to put an end to this in his state and talk

alaska his leadership on the issue and this is attractive to a lot of people and we're kind of normal and listen to this. >> you took on the college board, which was trying to impose critical race theory among other things throughout the country and you said not in my state. >> well, florida, our standards are requiring teaching and all aspects of black history and we think it's important and critical race near theory saying some are oppressors and some are oppressed and what message is that saying so young kids in college board was trying to impose crt and impose in a black studies course queer theory and impose intersectionalty and trying to impose effectively neo-marxism and the question is is that something you want to do in your own time and you're free to go pursue that and for our taxpayers to be supporting that type of indoctrination and

that's not something we want to do. rachel: if you want to do it on your own time, they could have own marxist after school program off campus and anyone that wants to send their kids to marxist school or queer study school and takeout oppression and victim hood, they can do it and stop using tax dollars to divide. pete: they don't need those schools because that's the public school. democrat camp. that's what you send your kids to. by the way, that whole interview on life, liberty and levin and mark desantis sits down with him for the whole hour and we'll have mark levin on that show preview in the interview and big take aways as well. think about it. think about how much ron desantis made this a signature issue and the first story alexandria read was a florida teacher on leave for having white students bow to black students. fight all you want, they hide it

as something else. so critical race theory becomes diversity, equity, and inclusion and we should stop saying that. it should be dci. diversity, communism and inclusion. that's what equity means. will: it's not the only trojan horse. i don't know what this means. i revert to please define diversity because people don't mean what they think. it's not like, well, we want to make sure everyone is represented and equal proportion in reflection to the proportion of society. nobody knows what it means and just means this ambiguous target of what? pete: identity groups. will: justice. i'm confused about it. what is justice and diversity and define. you don't want black people invinvolved and i wanted to know when you divorce yourself from merit, what are you hoping to target and your target goal of justice. we can define the terms and have common goals and you'll explain

your ultimate motivation. rachel: i think on a more basic level of dividing classrooms on who's oppressed and not oppressed and all these different things and it's cricochild abuse and it's really cruel. pete: it's exploitation of innocence. rachel: cruel to do that at children at this level. it's unbelievable. good job for ron desantis and we look forward to having that interview with mark levin tomorrow. will: good, small steps in the right direction. rancher george allen kelly murder charge in second degree murder in connection of the deadly shooting of a mexican national on his property. kelly was released on a $1 million bond earlier this week. the state argues that kelly intentionally shot at a group of unarmed illegal immigrants trespassing on his ranch and killing one of them. kelly insists he fired a warning shot and thought they were armed

yes. adults will bias towards adults and social addiction to adults including their meaning that adults have ideas that are better than kids. rachel: i was thinking about how when we went out, your kids were misbehaving a little bit and you decided to punish them by making them do push ups. so they can now go after you for adultism. pete: adultism? should the kids be able to tell me to do push ups? is the hierarchy all gone? will: i think kids run most things these daysment i'm telling you, i can't tell you how many families have said the 2-year-old is in charge. rachel: really? who are these people? will: they make separate meals. he only eats chicken fingers. rachel: i don't do that. i'm not a diner. pete: your an adultist. rachel: yeah. massachusetts democrat suggests children with disabilities should be aborted rather than

have a daughter with down syndrome by the way. how is this not eugenics? >> it is, rachel. thank you for the opportunity to join you and speak for those who can't speak for themselves. you're 100% right, it is eugenics. in 2023, we're talking about eugenics. we have to get all aboard on calling in out. this is just so concerning. rachel: yeah, i understand there's going to be protests in the community and people are, like yourself, are calling for his resignation. this is michael hugo, that's the man who made these remarks, this is his apology and said i'm writing to offer my most sincere and humble apology to members of the framington democrat committee and fellow members of the farmington disability family community for comments i made at the last city council meeting that were offensive and hurtful. is that enough for you? >> it's not, rachel. a couple facts for clarity, he had a opportunity to attend a

framingham disability community meeting on friday and chose not to. he hasn't reached out to members of the community or myself and he and i are peers and he knows how to get ahold of me. he hasn't reached out to me and knows i'm outrage the by this. actions speak louder than words and his actions are, you know, i apologize but he hasn't shown any ability or plan to have to right his wrong, and his apology comes across as very disingenuous. rachel: jo jon, to be fair, this man said what's happening outloud. in other words across our country right now, doctors will seymours who have a -- see mothers who have a child with a disability of downs and they're recommending, i hear from the moms all the time their doctors are recommending that they abort their babies. 90% of down syndrome babies are aborted. isn't he just voicing already what's in the culture that we

are willing to do this -- willing to abort people because we think they will cost more or they'll be more trouble somatous? >> isn't that just the scariest thing you'll talk about all morning. i mean, special needs people add value to the community. the best thing that ever happened to the featherston family is have andrew be our son. he's taught me to be a better person, more tolerant, kinder and more patient and we want to talk about eugenics in 2023 is shameful. rachel: yeah, valentina is the west thing that happened to our family as well. thank you for speaking up on this issue and for people that don't have a voice. good luck. >> thank you, happy saturday. rachel: you too. coming up, mark wahlberg will join us live in the next hour but first, is now the time for governor desantis to take a hard line on ukraine? charlie hurt on how the ukraine

>> i believe that boat wreck is the written why paul paul and maggie were killed. i believe that when paul was charged criminally, there was so many misrepresentations of paul that ended up in the media. i believe then and i believe today that the wrong person, the wrong person saw and read that.. will: emotional alex mur mur --

alalmurdaugh taking the stand. you've been watching this and one question i have is the phone call from the son's phone that ties alex mur dao to the sc scene -- will: se snap chat. mixer alex murdaugh changed his story as a result of that. >> this was a cell phone video paul took on his phone and am ex-didn't know about. you don't see him and you can hear his voice and the time paul took it, alex was not aware and people were not aware till they found it on his cell phone months later. very early on from the very beginning, you're seeing right there the footage, the body cam

footage of the very first responder coming to the 911 call even right there, alex says i was up at the house, i was taking a nap when all this happened. he said that to law enforcement in three separate interviews. he also said that the family members to his law firm partners and said to everyone, i was up at the house when this was happening. that was his alibi. he was putting that out there. when this kennel video came out, it showed that he was actually there at the kennels with paul and maggie at 8:44. they were killed, according to the prosecution, at 8:49. he has never admitted he was at the kennels unstill he was on the stand -- until he was on the stand in front of the jury and turned to them and said, i lied. i was there. parking lot of the reason he -- part of the reason he finally decided to admit this and the prosecution in their case, every witness they called whether a family member or close friend or one of paul's friend who said

alex was like a second father, they had to listen to the video and said do you hear alex's voice on this and they all said yes, that's alex's voice. it become uncontroversial and he took the stand and he wanted to tell that jury, yes, it was me but this is why i lied about it. will: do you think he's done a good job of that? everyone is saying he's a great character and he can tell a story and spin a story and he's a lawyer and knows how to prep witnesses. do you think -- you think -- the standard, reasonable doubt, make one juror unsure and has he thrown enough spaghetti against the wall to make one juror unsure? >> i do. he is a master manipulator. everyone said, even his law partner said he was skilled at getting people to believe him. what i think he's done really well on the stand is he's gotten up there and said, look, i admit to all the financial crimes. i did all of that. i am sorry.

i am contrite. i feel horrible. i did it because hi this addiction. mea culpa, mea culpa but i would never ever kill my wife and son who i love so much. i think the reason he gave for lying about the kennel video, that's going to be up to the jury and that'll be the key. if they believe it, they'll believe him. if they don't, they're not going to believe anything he says. rachel: so interesting, loni, i couldn't react and go i didn't intensally kill my wife and -- intentionally kill my wife and son. so great on the stand and lack of emotion even though it was two years ago is sh shocking ---pete: there's been some emotion. rachel: i don't know. great information and thank you for joining us right there. >> hung jury right there. pete: hung jury right here. will: good point, loni. coming up, is now the time for governor ron desantis to take a hard line on ukraine. charlie hurts on how the ukraine

pete: been a year of war in ukraine and opportunistic ed suggests that it's time for ron desantis to take a new position. peace and weakness never works

and peace through strength does and new political opening for the candidate willing to take it and criticized mr. biden for the policy to elmore bolden him in the first place. his dot ling on --ed to ling on the ewe -- dottling on the reel. charlie hurt ask joining us now. there's real pitfall inside the republican primary if ran desantis take as biden-like approach to win the war in ukraine considering where republican primary voters are in the stance that donald trump has taken as well. >> absolutely. you know, if you step back and think about it, it's a pretty lobar. if your primary purpose for foreign policy purpose for running for president is that you want to engage in war in ukraine and ought to be able to explain it to the american people and you ought to be able to convince them and it should be the first one with the politician does and joe biden fails to do that and there isn't

any reason for us to be in ukraine and the important thing is you need to get -- it's not a matter of whether or not the american people are on your side or not. it's are you on the side of the american people and you need to get them to where you want to be and joe biden knows that and even bigger problem for ron desantis is it's a touchy subject for him or it has pitfalls as you said, which is perfect. the real problem of course is that he's running against a guy who has dealt a master class in strength and peace through strength and that was donald trump and donald trump has the entire foreign policy and this idea that people are portraying him as i i icelandish. he said look, mexico, we give

you a lot of foreign aid and if you don't stop these people coming across the board, that's not isolationist and that's peace through strength. donald trump is saying we need to negotiate peace and it shows real pitfalls for ron desantis and you point-blank layupsed tafanely out. pete: on tuesday he said what's happening in ukraine, watch. >> world war iiis that never been closer than it is right now. we need to clean house of all of the warmongers and america last globalists and deep state and pentagon and the state department and the national security industrial complex. pete: charlie, he knows it and he's seen it and rightly points out and new wars under biden administration and more.

>> the only time vladamir putin stole c crimea and current invasion and both time it is happened under joe biden's leadership and joe biden, let's not forget was head of the senate foreign relations committee and big reason why obama picked him in the first place and he was the reigning expert on foreign policy going back 50 years in washington and in reality, everything he touches turns to dirt and it's a disaster and so -- trump has that knack for pointing out the real frightening possibility, and i will say this, you know, it's kind of interesting the reverse between the iraq war and the ukraine war. with iraq, democrats, democrat politicians were divided because remember, john carey and hillary clinton turn supported the war and then turned against it when

it didn't work for their politics. now republicans are the divided party and it'll present real proproblems for them. pete: very few wedge issues on the republican side and donald trump made it in his image this will be one to watch. >> absolutely. pete: charlie hurt, thank you for your analysis. thank you, bud. >> good to see you. pete: now to rachel for a few headlines. rachel: thank you, pete. a georgia woman is facing criminal charges after police say she crashed her suv into a popeyes on purpose over missing biscuits. the restaurant manager said they gave her biscuits to make up for the mistake but that didn't stop the woman from crashing into the front entrance and nearly hitting a teenager who was working there. unbelievable. harry potter actress ivana lynch who played luna lovegood is coming to the defense of author jk rawling and sherif

crossings and go on and on. there's been 5.8 million folks when you conclude the known got aways and encounters that have crossed our southern border under joe biden's watch and fentanyl overdoses on the rice and we've had 108,000 american deaths due to opioid overdoses. will: congressman, the gop is planning through house oversight to look into, unmask hunter biden's anonymous art buyers. it's obviously talk about loopholes. it's a potential place where of course influence could be -- who's buying this art? is it a backdoor channel to the biden administration? so far you haven't been able to get the names of the art buyers. do you think you can find out who's buying hunter biden's art? >> yeah, i think now when you have the power of the subpoena, of course that's the court of last resort as it were, but we are finally ha having that power and are in charge of the house

committees. here's the thing and at the bottom line with the biden family business dealings. if you have nothing to hide, simply cooperate and we can wrap this up in a couple of weeks. it's been 150 suspicious activity reports generated by u.s. financial institutions and the biden family, and congress traditionally got access till joe biden became president and they're fighting us at every turn and you have to ask yourself why. will: act suspicious and arouse suspicion. who's buying hunter biden's art and see if they're getting quid pro quo on the backside and it's really expensive art as well i think. >> well, i don't think it's very good art as well. will: i share your opinion and find out who thinks it's so great. congressman pat fallon, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks, will. god bless. will: coming up, in a year
